Thinking of this, Wu Tao laughed to himself.

"We're almost at the center of town!"

Zhang Heng used his spiritual power to focus on his eyes, and saw from a distance a banner with the character "Yang" standing at the end of the road.

Sure enough, after Wu Tao and Zhang Heng walked for more than an hour, they found a Yang-character banner at the end of the road.

There is a tea stall set up next to it. A middle-aged man with a simple and honest face is boiling water and making tea. Although the stall is not big, the seats are full.

Seeing this, Zhang Heng frowned and spent a tael of silver to change two empty seats.

He wiped the bench with a piece of velvet cloth that he was always wearing, and Zhang Heng invited Wu Tao to sit down with some flattery.

After Wu Tao sat down, Zhang Heng asked the tea stall owner: "Staff, how far is it from the center of Yangjia Town?"

"Hey, it's not far from Yangjiapu in the center of Yangjia Town..."

After the stall owner finished speaking, he asked a question.

"My lord, are you going to attend Patriarch Yang's 100th birthday party?"

"Um!"

Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "We are both businessmen, and we just came here to inspect the market."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Heng asked out of curiosity: "Are there many people coming and going at Patriarch Yang's 100th birthday party?"

"Old Patriarch Yang is the number one master among the immortals in Tianshui County. He is a well-known leader. He is in charge of Yang Family Town, and everyone knows about it..."

"His name is not only famous in a place like Tianshui County. I heard that some big shots in the county know the reputation of Patriarch Yang!"

After finishing speaking, the stall owner said with a hint of arrogance,

Several people nearby who heard him burst into laughter immediately, but it was Wu Tao and Zhang Heng who were a little confused and confused.

The next second, someone burst out laughing and said, "Yang Jiulang, are you bragging in front of outsiders again?"

The stall owner, known as Yang Jiulang, immediately looked a little confused and said, "What do you mean by bragging? Being poor?"

"I am doing this for the sake of these outsiders, so as to prevent them from making any jokes after entering Yangjiapu..."

"I bumped into some big shot that I shouldn't have bumped into, and lost my life..."

As soon as the stall owner said these words, people around him immediately agreed: "That's right, Yang Jiulang, you are quite good at what you said today?"

"It wouldn't be a bad thing to tell these outsiders some of the Yang family's rules..."

Zhang Heng heard this and asked with a smile: "So, stall owner brother, you are a descendant of the Yang family? I wonder what you call me brother?"

When Yang Jiulang heard this, the look on his face couldn't help but change, and he said proudly: "I, Yang Zaixing, am a descendant of the 49th generation of the Yang family. Although it is only a collateral line, it can still be ranked in the Yang family's family tree.

Name..."

As a descendant of an aristocratic family, Zhang Heng naturally understands how the inheritance order of the aristocratic family works.

Being ranked high in the Yang family tree means that even if this person is a collateral lineage, he is not considered alienated from the Yang family's direct bloodline.

In this way, the stall owner in front of me, who looks to be in his thirties, should have some status in the Yang family.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Zaixing appears extremely proud when he says his name again, and this kind of pride comes from the pride of blood.

However, Yang Zaixing did not know the identity of the person he was talking to...

Otherwise, I don’t know if I would faint from shock.

However, as a direct descendant of a second-class family, Zhang Heng certainly looked down upon the Yang family, a fifth-class family, and he looked down upon Yang Zaixing even more.

With a little bit of teasing and joking, Zhang Heng said in a superficial compliment: "Oh, hey, he turns out to be an authentic descendant of the Yang family. How disrespectful! How disrespectful!"

Yang Zaixing felt a little embarrassed after being complimented by Zhang Heng.

He spared Rao's head and said, "I feel ashamed to say that, although our status is high in the family..."

"However, there is no one above me. I am not very lucky. I have no spiritual roots. I cannot fly to the sky and escape like the other immortals in the family, and be free and easy."

Chapter 457: Ten Bandits

Zhang Heng nodded. Children from aristocratic families, even the lowest ones, as long as they have the qualifications to practice, will definitely become monks!

If you don’t have the qualifications to practice, that is, if you don’t have spiritual roots, then you have to look at whether there is someone above you and whether there is a background.

If there is someone above, you can also get an artificial spiritual root, become a monk, and have the qualifications to change your destiny against the will of heaven.

If there is no one above, then unfortunately, I can only be a mortal in this life.

As the magistrate of Tianshui County, Zhang Heng naturally understood and investigated the affairs of the fifth-class Yang family before coming to the Yang family.

The Yang family was originally a fourth-class family. At that time, the Yang family almost had a county as its territory. However, due to some changes, it began to decline.

In order to survive, the Yang family moved to Tianshui County from other places and took root in a small town.

This town is the predecessor of Yangjia Town.

After the Yang family moved to Tianshui County, after hundreds of years of steady development, the total number of people has exceeded 10,000.

Of course, the real main body of the Yang family is not the mortals who exceed ten thousand people, but the core hundreds of monks.

Among the hundreds of Yang family monks, 99% are at the Qi training stage, and there are only five or six monks who have truly reached the foundation building stage or above.

Zhang Hengzheng was thinking when Yang Zaixing had already boiled a pot of hot tea.

Seeing this, Zhang Heng thanked Yang Zaixing and took out a few taels of silver, which he regarded as tea money and a reward.

Smelling the aroma of tea and having already brewed it, Zhang Heng just wanted to pick it up and drink it, but was stopped by Wu Tao, who had been watching with cold eyes and said nothing so far.

Without waiting for Zhang Heng to ask, many passers-by who had drank tea fell to the ground one after another, spitting black foam at the mouth, as if they had been poisoned.

Zhang Heng's expression changed when he saw this.

He grabbed Yang Zaixing by the collar and asked angrily: "Who are you? Why are you plotting against us?"

However, Yang Zaixing also foamed at the mouth at this time and died.

When Zhang Heng saw this, he was so frightened that he threw Yang Zaixing out.

The next second, there were bursts of sinister laughter around the stall.

Out of the thick black fog, a gloomy young man with a gloomy smile appeared.

""Such a smart boy, how do you know there is something wrong with the tea."

"I should ask you this first..."

"Where did we show our flaws? How do you know we are not ordinary people passing by?"

"I have obviously used secret techniques to disguise myself...".

Wu Tao did not answer the sudden appearance of this young man. Instead, he touched his chin and asked with interest.

"The secret technique you used is indeed not simple. I didn't realize that you two are both accomplished monks."

This young man suddenly appeared and said with a ferocious smile.

"Then why did you poison us?"

The expression on Zhang Heng's face was very innocent.

I just went to the Yang family to inquire about information. I didn't provoke anyone or provoke anyone. Why did someone suddenly appear and want to poison me to death?

"Ha ha……"

The young man smiled when he heard this, but did not answer Zhang Heng's words.

Because in his heart, dead people don't need to know the answer.

Immediately behind him, a dozen flying snakes flew out and quickly flew towards Wu Tao and Zhang Heng.

When Wu Tao saw this, he snorted, flicked out the sword energy with one finger, and shot out straight.

This golden sword energy turned into countless sword threads in mid-air, directly dividing the dozen black snakes into countless pieces.

"Sword Qi turns into silk, who are you..."

The young man, who had always had a gloomy face, shouted in disbelief.

Wu Tao was too lazy to talk nonsense to this junior who was in the late foundation building stage. He waved his sleeves and instantly restrained the junior in front of him with absolutely powerful spiritual power.

As for Wu Tao, why was he able to discover him who had been hiding...

That's because Wu Tao's spiritual consciousness is too powerful. With just a gentle sweep, he found him hiding aside and secretly poisoning him. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

Chapter 457: Ten Bandits

After that, under Zhang Heng's surprised and even frightened gaze, Wu Tao directly used the nightmare eyes on his forehead to control the mind of this young man who was good at using poison.

Listening to his dull explanation, Wu Tao realized that this guy was a member of a very famous bandit group in Yueguang County.

There are ten people in this bandit group, which is called the Ten Branch Bandits by the monks.

Each of them wears a mask, and they don't know each other's identities, and their realms are all in the late foundation building stage or above.

Only their leader knows the true identity of each person. They are all murderous villains who were either invited or coerced by the leader after they learned their secrets.

The identities of the ten of them are all different. Each one of them has a mysterious identity. Under the mask, he may be a disciple of an aristocratic family, a disciple of a sect, or a famous casual cultivator.

They wear masks and specialize in picking off small sects or small families who are weak and have no background. They often destroy the whole family with one attack, leaving no chicken or dog behind.

This time, the 100th birthday banquet of the head of the fifth-class Yang family is coming soon. Guests from Yang Family Fort are flocking from all directions to congratulate the head of the Yang family. However, the leader of Shizhi summons his men at this time and decides

The target is the entire Yang family!

Just for the countless resources and wealth that the Yang family has accumulated over thousands of years.

Therefore, the ten bandits reunited to destroy the Yang family.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's interesting..."

"But I'm very curious, why didn't you choose to do it on an inconspicuous day, and insisted on choosing the Yang family. When the family owner's 100th birthday banquet is coming, and relatives and friends are invited to the banquet, do such a move."
