Chapter 188 The Ximen Family Goes to Tushan Again
However, the diary ends here because Ximen Tingxuan encountered an accident when he recorded this key clue and was unable to continue writing.
Ximen Tianyu tightly grasped the diary, his fingers turning slightly white from the force, his heart filled with indescribable anger and unwillingness.
He realized that this diary alone was not enough to reveal the whole truth, but he was determined that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, he would seek justice for his parents and uncover the dark secrets behind the Dao League.
"By the way, since Li Jin knows the inside story, could he have left other clues?"
This thought suddenly flashed through Ximen Tianyu's mind. He quickly looked around, his eyes falling on other corners of the office, places filled with documents, books and sundries.
He walked to the desk and began to carefully search every drawer and every corner that might hide secrets. After a careful search, he found a tiny gap at the bottom of a seemingly ordinary wooden box, which seemed to hide a secret compartment.
Ximen Tianyu carefully opened the secret compartment, and inside was a pile of information. He picked up the information and read it carefully, but the anger in his eyes could no longer be concealed...
On the other side, Tushan.
At this time, Tushan Yaya was standing on the city wall at the border of Tushan, looking unfriendly at the people from the Taoist Alliance who were coming by boat below.
There was an inviolable majesty between her brows and a faint chill surrounded her body, as if she was ready to respond to any challenge at any time.
"How dare the Dao League people step into my Tushan territory so blatantly? How courageous!"
Tushan Yaya shouted in a cold voice, her voice was as cold as ice, causing everyone in the Taoist Alliance below to shiver involuntarily.
Seeing this, the leading Taoist priest stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Everyone from Tushan, we, the Ximen family, have come here with no ill intentions. It's just that you promised to help us find Ximen Tianyu's news. Now two years have passed, have you made any progress?"
Tushan Yaya's eyes moved slightly when she heard this, but she did not answer immediately. The Ximen family came to look for her again, and the matter was too complicated. If it was not handled carefully, it might cause a conflict.
"Damn Rongrong, I don't know where he has gone at this time."
Tushan Yaya was obviously not very good at dealing with such situations. She could only complain in her heart, but she still maintained her dignity on the surface.
Fortunately, she had Cui Yuling, the skilled doctor from Tushan, by her side. She walked slowly forward and stood beside Tushan Yaya.
"Everyone in the Ximen family, please be patient."
"We have sent a lot of people to Tushan over the past two years, but there is still no definite news."
Cui Yuling's voice was very gentle, and there was a hint of apology in her words, but she also clearly expressed Tushan's position and efforts.
However, the Ximen family did not seem satisfied with this answer. The leading Taoist frowned, and his tone was a little anxious and dissatisfied: "Tushan is famous all over the world and is good at finding intelligence. How could he have gained nothing in two years? Could it be that Tushan deliberately concealed it?" As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly became tense. The two forces confronted each other, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. Tushan Yaya's face became colder and colder, as if he could explode at any time.
But Cui Yuling still maintained her calmness and gentleness. She gently patted Tushan Yaya's shoulder, signaling her to stay calm. Then she turned to the people of the Ximen family and said in a soft but firm voice: "The Ximen family has no personal grudge against us Tushan. How could we deliberately hide it?"
"It's just that Ximen Tianyu's situation is indeed complicated, and we are also working hard to track it down. But even in Tushan, it is not easy to find a person who appeared here ten years ago."
"I hope you can give us some time. Once we have accurate information, we will inform the Ximen family as soon as possible. During this period, please be patient and do not believe in rumors. Don't do anything that may escalate the conflict."
Cui Yuling's words were full of wisdom. She tried to convince people with reason and defuse the conflict that was about to break out.
Upon hearing this, the leading Taoist priest below still had doubts in his heart, but his expression eased a little.
However, the leader was undecided about Cui Yuling's words for a moment.
After hesitating for a moment, he waved to the nearest subordinate, and the Taoist priest quickly stepped forward and listened to the secret order of the leading Taoist priest. Then, he turned and left, apparently to carry out the mission.
After this person left, neither side spoke again, but the confrontation in momentum did not diminish in the slightest.
Tushan Yaya's eyes were like torches, staring closely at the Ximen family, not missing any subtle movements. The leading Taoist priest of the Ximen family also had a solemn expression, always ready to deal with any emergency.
In this tense atmosphere, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence. The Taoist priest who had just been sent out hurried back, holding a communication talisman in his hand. He quickly stepped forward, handed the communication talisman to the leading Taoist priest, and whispered a few words.
The leading Taoist priest took the communication talisman, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Tushan Yaya and Cui Yuling, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone in Tushan, Ximen Tianyu is an important bloodline of our Ximen family. His safety is related to the future of the family. We just received news that there is a reliable clue pointing to the signs that Tianyu may still be alive, and this clue is related to a secret place deep in Tushan."
"We are fully aware that rashly entering Tushan Secret Realm is disrespectful to your place, but please understand our eagerness as the elders of the family. We are willing to ask Tushan to help us explore this secret realm and find the whereabouts of Ximen Tianyu with the utmost sincerity."
"I wonder where the Ximen family got this information from? In my impression, there is no such thing as a secret place in Tushan. I'm worried that this is a rumor deliberately spread by someone, or a means of confusing people."
Cui Yuling frowned slightly when she heard this, and her tone revealed a bit of displeasure and vigilance.
She vaguely guessed that behind the Ximen family's request at this moment, there might be more complicated motives hidden.
Although the Demon Alliance and the Taoist Alliance have abandoned their previous deep hatred, their vigilance and precautions against each other have never been eliminated. Such historical problems cannot be easily changed in a short period of time.
Upon hearing this, the leading Taoist priest of the Ximen family's expression changed slightly. He obviously did not expect Cui Yuling to question their source of information so directly.
Facing the slightly unfriendly look from the leading Taoist priest, Tushan Yaya simply glared back. Cui Yuling was right anyway. There was no so-called secret place in Tushan, and it was even less likely that Ximen Tianyu was here.
