Did the Xu family spend so much effort to build the lake just to raise these useless ornamental fish?
Letting everyone in the Imperial City know, wasn't this a kind of cover-up?
Walking to the side of the lake and looking at the colorful fish in the lake, Jia Xu revealed a smile and muttered to himself,"It's indeed very beautiful. It's very suitable to be used as a cover.”
"Men." Jia Xu said to his surroundings.
"Yes, sir. What orders do you have?" Jia Xu had just finished speaking when more than ten people immediately rushed over to look at Jia Xu and respectfully said.
"Draw out the water inside." Jia Xu pointed at the lake.
"Yes, sir."
The people around Jia Xu immediately said.
Although they were puzzled by Jia Xu's order, since Jia Xu had already given the order, they only needed to do it.
Normally, it would take a long time to extract a lake that was hundreds of meters long. After all, this world did not have equipment like a water pump.
"However, there are martial artists in this world. Rank-6 martial artists can retrieve things remotely.
Jia Xu had brought people at the half-step True Human Realm.
Letting them use their powers to directly suck out the lake water was much faster than using a water pump.
In less than half an hour.
The lake that was hundreds of meters long and dozens of meters deep was drained.
At the bottom of the lake was a thick layer of mud.
"Clean up the mud." Jia Xu stood on the shore and said indifferently.
"Yes."
Ten minutes later, the bottom of the lake became clean and tidy without any mud.
When all the mud was cleaned up, everyone was surprised.
Beneath the mud was a neat slate.
There were so many neat and seamless stone slabs at the bottom of the man-made lake. Without Jia Xu's reminder, everyone knew that there was a problem.
It was obvious that it had been designed by an expert. It would be fine if it was messy, but it was so neat. Why wasn't it specially designed? Why would a man-made lake that was used to raise fish need so much effort?
A dozen people knocked on each stone slab.
In the end, he found some clues in the center.
"Milord, there's something strange here. The other stone slabs are one after another, like a whole, but there's no stone slab under this one. There's only this one on the top floor.”A Rank-1 martial artist looked at Jia Xu and reported.
"Open it." Jia Xu said.
"Yes."
Upon receiving Jia Xu's order, the Rank-1 martial artist immediately slapped down.
One could imagine how powerful a Rank-1 martial artist's full-force palm was.
A mere stone slab that was dozens of inches long was naturally smashed into pieces.
The moment the slate shattered, it fell down.
There was actually a passage below, and it seemed to be quite a long passage.
"This is the final secret chamber.”Jia Xu looked at the people at the bottom of the lake and said.
"Yes, my lord."
Everyone obeyed.
Then, everyone jumped down.
………………
About thirty minutes later, these people came out with eight people.
Among these seven or eight people, three of them were the youths in Jia Xu's portrait. The remaining four were two elders, who were Rank-1 martial artists and Rank-2 martial artists respectively. The remaining two were only Rank-6 martial artists, but they were young. They must be geniuses of the Xu family.
………………
"Milord, it's not just a secret chamber down there. It's also the Xu family's treasure room. There are many gold, silver, and jewels hidden inside, as well as many kinds of spirit herbs. At the same time, there's also enough food for them to use for decades.”
"We checked the entrance that they came in from and found that the entrance was set up by a very skilled craftsman. Once they enter, the entrance to the secret room will be completely sealed. The only way out is this bluestone slab at the bottom of the lake. Fortunately, Milord found something at the bottom of the lake. Otherwise, they might really have escaped after hiding for a few years.”Jia Xu's subordinate looked at Jia Xu and reported respectfully. The gaze he looked at Jia Xu with was extremely respectful.
…………
"Jia Xu, isn't it enough that you've killed so many people from my Xu family? They were all innocent. Give them a way out.”The two old men among the guards looked at Jia Xu and knelt down, crying and begging.
When the two old men knelt down and begged, the other six people also revealed expressions of fear and horror.
"As expected of an aristocratic family. If it was anyone else, they might have been deceived by you and developed compassion. Unfortunately, your eyes still exposed you. Do you think that the hatred in your eyes can be hidden from me?”
"Moreover, even if it's true, I won't let you off. How can I, Jia Xu, not understand the principle of letting a tiger return to the mountain?”Jia Xu said indifferently.
After saying that, he waved his hand to signal for these people to be killed.
"Jia Xu, you deserve to die." When the two old men heard Jia Xu's words, they immediately roared loudly and were about to rush towards Jia Xu.
However, there were many Rank-1 martial artists standing beside them, so how could they be allowed to be so presumptuous? They had just made a move when they were surrounded by a few people and killed instantly.
The remaining six youths were also killed one after another.
These six people might become experts in the future, but they were still too weak.
With the death of these six people, the bloodline of the Xu family was almost cut off. The fish that escaped the net outside would also be eliminated soon.
……………………
After the Xu Clan was destroyed, the clans that had colluded with the Nine Great Princes all planned to flee the Imperial City.
Jia Xu's methods were too ruthless. Although the one who suffered this time was not their family, who knew if they would be the next?
Rather than waiting for death, it was better to escape from Chu. With their foundation, they could rise up again in any country.
However, when they wanted to escape, they realized that they could no longer escape.
This was because each of their clans had countless experts outside. They knew most of these people. They were basically thousand-year-old clans in the imperial city.
