Chapter 59: Tragic

  Really strong push, Xiao Xing is so happy, this is the second update.

  Today's stir-fry is almost done, and Huo Hai doesn't want to continue stimulating the He family. Let's take a break for now, we'll play slowly another day. Huo Hai smiled slyly as he withdrew almost all of the insects, leaving only a few Star Wasps behind.

  The star worm itself is very cute and harmless. No one would think that the star worm is so dangerous unless they see it in action with their own eyes. Now, hiding the star worm among a large number of insects is like hiding a drop of water in the ocean, making it impossible to detect. The He family never thought that this small insect was the main culprit behind their misfortune.

  At this time, the entire He family launched an extraordinary pest control operation. A large number of masters were dispatched, continuously using their spiritual power to kill a large number of insects in batches. The He family's continuous transmission of spiritual power fluctuations made people outside feel shocked and amazed.

  "What's going on, has the He family been invaded or something? The spiritual power fluctuations are so intense." It was already dawn, and many people had woken up at this time. Feeling the He family's fluctuations, everyone began to speculate.

  "Could it be that the He family is having a martial arts competition, and this time the competition is a bit late?" If it were before the Imperial City College exam, such a competition would be understandable, but now? It just feels very strange. And what's even stranger is why there are no guards at the entrance of the He family's mansion. Where did all these people go?

  Someone next to him immediately said, "Nonsense, what a martial arts competition, this aura of spiritual energy is not something that ordinary people can emit. This is at least a high-ranking master in the Spiritual Realm. Even if it's the He family, there are absolutely only a few such masters."

  Seeing everyone's attention shift to him, the man said with a smug expression: "Hmph, if you ask me, this is the He family showing off their strength. Not long ago, the Huo family was making waves everywhere. The He and Huo families have always had a bad relationship, they definitely wouldn't want the Huo family to be above them. Besides, the He family is an old top-tier family."

  "Oh, so that's how it is," everyone thought to themselves. They thoroughly accepted this explanation. But just then, another person spoke up with a puzzled expression: "No, wait, have you guys noticed anything different about the He family today?"

  Different, isn't this nonsense? The difference in the He family today is obvious to everyone. There's no guardian guarding the gate, and a burst of spiritual energy that doesn't make sense keeps coming out. Is this still normal? Everyone looked at this person with suspicion.

  That person suddenly became anxious, his eyes lit up and he said loudly: "I remember. It's that one, you see, in the past, the highest building in the He family compound was the He family hall, wasn't there a spire on top that we could all see from outside? Look now, can't you see it today?" This person finally discovered what was wrong with the He family today.

  Everyone thought about it, looked again, and indeed it was so. Suddenly, a loose cultivator in the Spiritual Blood Realm exerted himself, crouched down, and then jumped up into the air. His whole body soared more than three meters high, seeing more than ordinary people.

  As soon as he came down, he was surrounded by people: "What did you see? Tell us quickly." Gossip appeared in his heart, and even if the other party's strength was strong, it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the crowd. Besides, there were many masters at the Ling Blood Realm here, not just him alone.

  That person furrowed his brow, as if it was utterly inconceivable, and after a long time, he finally raised his head and said: "I, I seem to have made a mistake. You guys wait, I'll take another look." As he spoke, disregarding the others, he jumped up again. This was because the other experts didn't plan on waiting for him either; it wasn't like only this guy could jump so high.

  Everyone crouched down and then jumped up with all their might. The entrance of He's house was like suddenly having many frogs jumping around. After everyone came down, they were all filled with incredulity, and then started again, one time after another.

  Finally, someone couldn't help but ask: "What's going on with you guys? What happened to the He family? Why are you all jumping around like that?" These masters finally came back to their senses and realized they had just been acting like frogs, making them blush.

  But now is not the time to say that, everyone looked at each other and confirmed that what they saw was correct. Finally, the person who jumped up first spoke: "I, I seem to have seen a piece of ruins. If I didn't see it wrong, He's family hall should have become a piece of ruins." When he said this, even he himself did not believe it, let alone others.

  At this time, a master next to him said: "Yes, I also saw it. However, the scope of the ruins is very large, and it seems that not only the main hall is involved. Could it be that the He family wants to demolish and rebuild the house?"

  Everyone is puzzled. Demolishing and rebuilding such a house would cost a fortune. Even if these are not considered, who would dare to demolish the ancestral house left by their ancestors? Moreover, this house has no problem at all. And even if it really needs to be demolished, there is no new house built yet, where can they live? The He family has many people, how can they have nowhere to live?

  "No, no, something must have happened, I see the whole He family has come out. Don't know what they're busy with. Last night, the He family didn't stop for a whole evening." This person lives relatively close to here.

  "Why bother with so much trouble, let's just go take a look." A somewhat impulsive person rushed towards the He family's gate and ran inside, anyway there were no guards now. Even if they went in, nobody would do anything to them.

  Unfortunately, this unlucky guy didn't know that the He family was currently in a bad mood. They discovered an outsider coming in and looking around curiously. Several experts rushed forward, beat him up, and threw him out.

  This has not only failed to dispel everyone's thoughts, but also made the idea of finding out the truth even more intense. The more you don't want people to see something, the more someone wants to investigate it clearly. This is human nature, and it's the same in any world. Even Ho Hai himself did not expect that things would escalate to this point.

  When they found out, Huo Hai was shocked to see that a large number of people began to gather at the He family home. Those with some ability climbed over walls and onto trees, each using their own methods to observe. Those without any strength simply climbed onto nearby rooftops, watching from afar.

  Even some people started building a huge scaffold on the spot, looking from the outside in. Huo Hai's eyes widened in incredulity: "The people of this world also have the potential to be paparazzi." These guys are just like the paparazzi on Earth, they will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. But with so many people, the He family really can't do anything about it.

  Then, a smile appeared on Huo Hai's face. The smile grew bigger and bigger until it spread across his entire face. His mouth wide open, Huo Hai burst out laughing: "Haha, haha, too interesting, let's see what you'll do this time."

  This time, the He family's face has been completely lost. This is not all, heaven knows what will happen in the future. With so many people constantly climbing, the He family cannot throw everyone out. Offending so many people, the He family's reputation will be completely ruined.

  At this time, the He family suddenly received news that the Ji family had come to visit. For a family of equal status, the He family couldn't be slow to respond. Under duress, they could only send someone with dark circles under their eyes to receive them.

  The Ji family arrived, but that's not all. Almost at the same time, several other families also sent people to come and see what had happened to the He family. As a large family, apart from those scouts who used ordinary methods, climbing walls and trees, these people couldn't afford to lose face, so they might as well pay a visit directly. With so many families coming, the He family dared not offend them even more.

  Such a big thing, wanting to hide it is impossible, but the He family never thought that it would make such a big fuss. Or rather, the He family was driven mad by last night's events and still hadn't slept well.

  Unexpectedly, they forgot to seal off the news. They also forgot that the top of the hall was very high and could be seen from outside, which would not do if someone discovered it. So today, the tragicomedy of the He family officially began. Everyone who entered the He residence widened their eyes in shock.

  What's going on, how did the He family suddenly collapse like a demolition site overnight? They know that there is a soul from Earth who is familiar with forced demolitions and has a wealth of experience. And with the best demolition method, the wormhole, tearing down a few houses is simply effortless.

  Others didn't know, and they started asking what was going on with the He family. The He family had no choice but to swallow their anger and force a smile, saying that the house was a bit out of date and would be rebuilt after being demolished.

  But who can believe this, and what are these He family people doing. What is that tent in the distance? Most of them have dark circles under their eyes, as if they didn't sleep well all night. Isn't it just demolishing houses, do you need to stay up all night and run here to demolish, what's the logic. And those people, scratching themselves non-stop.

  "Right, and what about these guards? Don't hide, we've all seen them. You're holding big brooms and frantically slapping something on the ground. Wait, why are there so many insect corpses on the ground, and what's with the way they're looking at the insects?"

  So many unreasonable things, if everyone didn't know what happened to the He family, they would really be stupid. Needless to say, last night, someone must have found trouble for the He family, and this trouble was not small. It's interesting that everyone is thinking about something in their hearts, wondering what they are considering. Soon, everyone bid farewell and left one by one.

  If they knew that all the spiritual stones in the He family, including their collection, had disappeared, they probably wouldn't be speaking so politely. Heaven knows if they would directly attack the He family.

  At this moment, a person who was crawling around outside suddenly burst into a room. Hearing the constant noise inside, he frowned and looked in to see two purple eggs.
