CHAPTER 355: UNFORESEEN TRAGEDY 2

"Feng Xue was originally an adopted child. Do you think Supreme Elder Chen would go to war for three useless grandchildren?"

Hearing this, Shen Xu felt an unprecedented fury rise in his chest, and a trace of red appeared in his eyes.

Even Zhen Yuan couldn’t be indifferent.

After all, Feng Xue was family, and her children were also family.

At this time, he naturally couldn’t sit still and wanted to learn everything about the situation.

"Wait..., wasn’t Xuanyuan Xing engaged to Mo Ling? Why hasn’t the Mo family stepped in to stop the marriage?"

"After the accident, the Mo family wanted to break the engagement, but Mo Ling refused. He insisted on helping the siblings, but how could he resist his family’s power? In the end, he was forcibly trapped in his clan’s forbidden grounds and hasn’t been seen in several thousand years."

[Ayuan...] Shen Xu called, his eyes glistening from unshed tears.

Everything was planned.

He and Zhen Yuan were supposed to find a remote place and settle down to cultivate.

After advancing to the tribulation transcending realm, their group would go to the Tianxuan sect and begin the next phase of their plans.

However, the gossip changed everything.

Since Feng Xue was in seclusion and couldn’t come out for the time being, it fell on him and Zhen Yuan to find out what was going on and save the triplets.

[Ayuan, we can’t allow anything more to happen to the triplets.] He said, and Zhen Yuan immediately nodded.

[I know.] The man said in a solemn voice.

At this time, the waiter delivered their food, but the two were no longer in the mood to eat.

In the end, they packed the food, paid the bill, and left the restaurant.

Their next stop was the town’s information broker, and in less than an hour, they had a complete packet of the Xuanyuan family’s news.

After that, they booked an inn room and soon entered the space.

Without wasting time, they began reading the bought information, and with every word, their complexion turned from bad to worse.

"These bastards must pay." Shen Xu angrily cursed and threw a cup against the wall.

From what they learned, Feng Xue was indeed ambushed, but the attackers had never been found.

As for the children, they were attacked by their stepmother’s family.

The Lin family was a prominent clan in the Tianxuan continent.

It had many high realm cultivators, but it wasn’t a sect clan like the Xuanyuan and Chen families.

Lin Hua was the most beautiful and most talented junior in more than five hundred thousand years.

Unfortunately, Lin Hua was a double and was generally looked down upon.

Later, Lin Hua fell in love with Xuanyuan Han, but the man was married to Feng Xue and had three children.

Even if Lin Hua married in as a concubine, his children’s status would never transcend that of Feng Xue’s children.

Still, Lin Hua insisted on marrying Xuanyuan Han, and as luck would have it, the sect master fell head over heels with her.

In no time, Xuanyuan Han dismissed all his partners and divorced Feng Xue, leaving only Lin Hua as his wife.

Similarly, after Lin Hua gave birth to twins, other children lost favour and practically became orphans.

This allowed the Lin family to attack Feng Xue and her children without worry of repercussions.

Over time, the clan became so brazen that they had even arranged Xuanyuan Xing’s marriage to Ancestor Song.

"The Lin family traded Xuanyuan Xing for a tribulation transcending pill." Shen Xu muttered, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Something is not right." Zhen Yuan said and continued when he saw the double’s raised eyebrow.

"The two have no feelings, hence the marriage has nothing to do with love. Additionally, Xuanyuan Xing is a double and has low fertility, so we can’t say Ancestor Song wants him for children. Finally, he is injured and his cultivation can’t advance until his soul is cured."

"Considering this, don’t you think Ancestor Song paid a high price for a seemingly useless double?"

"You may be right." Shen Xu said with a thoughtful expression.

After all, a tribulation transcending pill was equivalent to an opportunity for a Mahayana realm cultivator to advance to the tribulation transcending realm.

Even though he didn’t need the pill, Ancestor Song could exchange it for real benefits with practically any prominent cultivator in the Tianxuan continent.

Knowing this, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan couldn’t help but think that something else was going on.

"Could it have something to do with the fiancée, or maybe Ancestor Song discovered Xuanyuan Xing’s origin?"

"Feng Xue said that her mother sealed her bloodline. It’s impossible for ordinary cultivators to see through an immortal’s seal."

"If it’s not the bloodline, what else could it be?"

"Maybe he has a special physique or something on him that attracts the Ancestor Song."

"In that case, we must get to the triplets before the worst happens." Shen Xu said in a determined voice.

On one hand, two of three were about to die, and on the other, the third may be about to plunge into a living hell.

Thinking of this, Shen Xu didn’t want to waste time and urged Zhen Yuan to leave Fuqi City.

"There is a teleportation formation between Fuqi City and the Myriad Tools City. From the Myriad Tools city, we can take another formation to the Tianxuan city." Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.

"We will decide what to do once we get a clearer picture after arriving in Tianxuan city."

"Okay." Shen Xu immediately agreed.

Soon after, the two left the inn, found the teleportation area, and left Fuqi City.

The Myriad Tools City was incomparably larger and prosperous than Fuqi City.

Unfortunately, neither Shen Xu nor Zhen Yuan was in the mood to enjoy the city.

As a result, soon after arriving, they boarded another teleportation formation and went to Tianxuan City.

Shen Xu was sick and miserable after two long-distance teleportations, but for once, he didn’t complain.

"Let’s find a place to settle down and rest. We can begin investigating after we are well rested." Zhen Yuan said, soothingly rubbing the double’s hair.
