Chapter 55: Strange and Mysterious

  They didn't take immediate action, thinking that Huo Hai's spiritual power had been completely depleted. With his spiritual power exhausted, Huo Hai could only wait now, waiting for tomorrow to let them act again. To say the least, Huo Hai also wished to destroy the He family.

  But he can't do that now. After all, the He family is a big family in Xijiang. Once it's destroyed, who knows how much impact it will have on the entire Xijiang. Besides, the Huo family is not stable internally at present. Even if Huo Hai is stupid, he won't cause trouble for his family at this time. It's better to wait until the Huo family stabilizes before doing anything else.

  Moreover, He Wen himself was also about to join the Imperial City College. That Huo Yan was the same, if they died, it would be hard for the Imperial City College not to thoroughly investigate the entire Western Territory. At least for now, Huo Hai couldn't make a move on them.

  The Imperial City Academy and the He family are different, they can easily gather a large number of top-notch experts. Even this time, because of the trial in Western China, many high-ranking masters at the Spiritual Realm level have come.

  The spiritual realm, they can already use their spiritual power to release it freely. It's not easy for the Gu worm in Huo Hai to hurt them. Once exposed, Huo Hai is dead. But death is not the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing is being caught and studied. Thinking of the little white mice on Earth, Huo Hai felt a chill all over his body. Now, no matter what, things can't be made irretrievable.

  However, Hao Hai sneered in his heart: "Can't kill you directly, then let's give you some trouble first." As for the He family's affairs, Hao Hai decided to take matters into his own hands. After all, the Hao family couldn't directly interfere with the He family's affairs.

  But inside the Huo family, it was different. In the middle of the night, after Huo Hai had recovered a bit, he stopped. He casually pulled out a piece of paper, thought for a moment, changed his handwriting, and wrote down a list. Then, he had Xiao Jin deliver it to Huo Kai in the middle of the night.

  Hu Kai is now asleep, and after dawn, he will be able to see this list. As for what he thinks in his heart, that has nothing to do with Hu Hai. With this list, if the investigation still can't figure out what happened this time, then Hu Hai will start to suspect that he, as a father, is an idiot. Someone who can become the head of the household should not be a fool.

  Huò Kāi definitely won't make a move on these people for now. But once Huǒ Yàn and the others enter the Imperial City Academy, then these people, Huò Kāi will definitely take action. This discordant factor within the family must be dealt with as soon as possible.

  Xiao Jinfeng returned, and Huo Hai began to cultivate again. He had to wait until nightfall, when he would make his move against the He family. Not killing them, but making the entire He family restless. This was what a bad person should do.

  The next morning, as soon as Huo Kai got out of bed, he suddenly saw a piece of paper on the table beside him. His heart was shocked, and he thought to himself that if someone could silently approach his side, they could also make him disappear silently.

  What exactly happened, who did it and why. Huo Kai felt his heart beating faster, and began to consider whether he should increase the number of guards. The Huo family is becoming increasingly unsafe. After some thought, the person who came probably didn't have malicious intentions, otherwise they could have just eliminated themselves directly, what's the point of leaving a note?

  He picked up the note and unfolded it. Looking at what was on it, Huo Kai's face became increasingly ugly: "The list of people capturing Huo Yun'er, He Wang, Huo Yan... damn it, is this really true?" Huo Kai himself didn't dare to believe it.

  I thought there was a traitor in the family, but I never expected that this time, it would be a family member who directly participated, and even became the mastermind. The number of people involved is astonishingly high.

  It seems that I still have a lot of misunderstandings about my own family. Among so many young people in the family, although only young people participated, they occupied a large part of the popularity of young people in the family, and they were all some outstanding ones. What about those who didn't show up? Did they also participate, but their identity was not enough, and they were not recorded by others?

  This, Huo Kai didn't know. In fact, he didn't even know if the things on the list were true or false, or if someone was intentionally stirring up trouble in his family relationships. But for it to appear so mysteriously in front of him, it shouldn't be that simple.

  "Someone, inform the old master of the house to come over, there's a matter related to the safety of the family." Huo Kai shouted loudly, and immediately a guard outside the door took orders and left. These were all Huo Kai's trusted subordinates.

  Not long after, the former head of the family, Ho Kai's father, appeared here. The old man who had been searching for opportunities and closed his door to try to break through was brought out by Ho Kai again. Fortunately, he did not blame him, if he could break through, he would have broken through long ago. The real reason is that the spiritual formula of the Ho family is too low-level.

  At first in the Imperial City College, not a single person could exchange for a higher spiritual technique. Until now, the best spiritual technique of the family is still passed down by the ancestors. "Huo Kai, what did you call me here for? What's this matter that concerns the safety of the family?"

  This is a big deal, as a family member, it's not usually dared to deceive casually, so Huo Kai's father came very quickly. Seeing the person who came, Huo Kai respectfully paid his respects: "I've seen Father, this matter is really serious."

  As he spoke, Huo Kai brought up the matter of Huo Yun'er being captured two days ago. He also took out the two pieces of paper that Huo Kai had given him earlier. One was a threatening letter and the other was a map. The place marked on the map had already been investigated by them.

  Although it is unknown how those people, Huo Hai, were dealt with, and where the corpses have gone now. However, based on the traces left at the scene, everyone can also imagine what the situation was like at the time.

  All of this, the previous master of the house who was in closed quarters, had no idea. The old man heard these words and his eyes widened on the spot, his face full of anger. "You scoundrel, something so big happened, yet no one came to tell me, do you really want to wait until the Ho family is extinct before you come to inform me? You unfilial son."

  Huofeng's face turned red with rage. Although Huofeng was already very old, his fiery temper was still unmatched by many young people. "Tell me, what else happened? You didn't say earlier, but now you're calling me out, what's going on?"

  Fortunately, Huo Feng also understood some of the homeowner's concerns, so after scolding a few sentences, he stopped.

  Huo Kai, still shaken, hastily took out the note: "Father, this is something that appeared on my bedside table this morning. I didn't feel anything last night, think about it, who could have done such a thing." Looking at the note in his hand and hearing Huo Kai's words, Huo Feng's eyes changed expression repeatedly. He couldn't figure out what was going on either.

  Even if Lian Huo were to take his place, it wouldn't make a difference. If this person were to launch a sneak attack, no one in the entire Huo family would be able to stop him. But this note...it seems like this person is actually here to help them, how strange.

  Could it be that some of the older generation of the Huo family are hiding somewhere? Every family has some elderly members who leave the family, some to gain experience and others for personal reasons. Of course, some return, while others disappear forever.

  Perhaps it's these old guys who have come back from their experiences and don't want to be discovered, so they're hiding. Nobody knows how long these old guys can live or what generation they are from. "Alright, since someone has sent things over, there shouldn't be any malicious intent. You should now organize a team of absolutely loyal people and start investigating in secret."

  "Hmph, no matter who it is, if they really did such a thing, they don't deserve to stay in this world. When Xia Hai and Yun Er go to the Imperial City Academy, that's when we'll make our move."

  Huò Kāi and Huò Fēng also felt helpless in their hearts. At present, the Huò family had just reached the top level of the Western Frontier, but if they were to internally purge so many people, their position would be extremely precarious. However, not purging them was also not an option, as that would lead to even greater danger in the future.

  Can only pray that other families will not take action against the Huo family for the time being. Fortunately, Xiao Hai still has that strange dark weapon technique, which can be a kind of invisible deterrent. Huo Kai had already asked Huo Hai about it earlier. But Huo Hai told him that this was a special dark weapon, which he had accidentally obtained, and there was no technique to use it, the more you used it, the less you had.

  No matter what, this thing is too strange, but at the same time, it must be resolved. The two masters of the house, in dealing with this matter, not one dares to ignore it lightly. They all use their own methods.

  The surface of the Huo family is still the same as before, but secretly, it's a storm. Even the people being investigated don't know what's going on. For this matter, Huo Feng brought out the hidden guards that his family had been keeping in reserve.

  These hidden guards were running around in the family, and with Huo Kai's cooperation, they didn't cause any commotion, not even anyone noticed that there were strangers lurking around. The people on this list were being investigated one by one. At the same time, some of the family's loyal followers were secretly interrogating them, but these spoiled brats couldn't be told apart.

  In the whole family, except for Huo Hai's father and grandfather, only Huo Hai knew. Firstly, because that deformed note was sent out by Huo Hai. Secondly, the family had long been shrouded in a star curse.

  Even at times, Huo Hai would command the Star Gu to secretly provide some conveniences and intelligence to people when they were not paying attention. As for Huo Hai himself, he had almost fully recovered. Two days of recovery had replenished more than half of the blood he had previously consumed. Next, he would need a long period of recuperation to gradually complete his recovery.

  A whole day's worth of materials were sent to Huo Kai and Huo Feng, the two looked at each other in dismay, never expecting that these young masters would do such outrageous things. If they hadn't investigated, they wouldn't have known about it.
