"It's fine, it's fine. I'm just here to see everyone on behalf of Juxian. Come, everyone, thank you for your hard work. I have some good spiritual wine here. Come and have a drink.”
"Patriarch Dongfang Yuan, we still have a mission, so we can't drink.”
"Sigh, it's not that I want to criticize you, but it's already late in the night. What can happen? Can't you see? It's been so peaceful these past few days. Come and have a few drinks. It's fine.”
"Patriarch Dongfang Yuan, you're not bribing us, are you? Then you've made the wrong decision.”One of the consecrators with the surname Liu joked.
"What are you thinking? I really think that it's not easy for you guys. It's so late and you still have to be on duty. Moreover, no one cares about you.”
"Yes, Dongfang Yuan's family is right. Come, brothers, have a drink and moisten your throats.”
After hearing Dongfang Yuan's words, a thin and tall consecrator said to the others.
Under his lead, the other three consecrators also came over. They drank the wine that Dongfang Yuan filled up, and in a few breaths, they unexpectedly appeared. The four of them had just drunk two bowls of spirit wine, and they couldn't take it anymore. They fell to the ground one after another.
"What kind of medicine did you put in it to make it so effective?”Jing Feng asked curiously.
"Hehe, I used the authentic Soul Severing Powder. Even a Demigod xiuzhe wouldn't be able to last twenty breaths.”
"Alright, stop talking nonsense.”
This Dongfang Yuan restrained his joy and led Jing Feng duo into the secret chamber. At this moment, all the lights in the secret room were out. It was as dark as paint inside. It could be said that one could not see five hands in front of them. Because they were afraid of being discovered, they did not dare to turn on the lights and could only quietly explore.
In fact, as long as one reached the Foundation Establishment stage or above, they could still see in the dark, but it was just a little blurry. If one reached the Nascent Soul stage or above, they could even see objects two thousand miles away with their eyes closed.
He had just walked to a secret chamber in the middle when he found a person sitting on a hassock. Jing Feng was sure that this person was the fake Wu Meng. The fake Wu Meng had already reached the critical point of his cultivation and did not notice that someone had come. Seeing this, Jing Feng was overjoyed and decisively stabbed his sword at the cultivator.
"Puff ~ Puff ~"
"Ah ~"
A scream broke the silence of the secret chamber and the Dongfang Family. Jingfeng's sword pierced through the fake Wu Meng's heart without any suspense and shattered his internal organs.
"Let's go! Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave now, it'll be too late.”
Seeing that the fake Wu Meng was dead, Dongfang Yuan's face was filled with joy. He immediately urged Jing Feng and the others to leave quickly.
Jing Feng also knew that the longer he stopped, the more dangerous it would be. After all, Dongfang Juxian was also a cultivator of the Great Circle of Foundation Establishment. He knew that he could not delay any longer, or his life would be in danger. Therefore, the two of them did not hesitate. After instructing Dongfang Yuan, they left on their swords.
After Dongfang Yuan watched the two of them leave, he smiled evilly and disappeared into the night.
Before dawn, the Dongfang Family was already in a mess. The two rows of chairs in the hall were fully occupied. The family's First Elder Dongfang Jing, Second Elder Dongfang Suo, Third Elder Dongfang Yuxiao, Dongfang Yuan, nine branch managers, three spirit stone mine managers, and six Foundation Establishment cultivators including Dai Nian.
"Who can tell me? Who can tell me? What was going on? Why was Wu Meng being assassinated while he was cultivating in the secret chamber? Speak quickly.”
Dongfang Juxian was completely furious. Everyone present did not dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would become his punching bag. It was no wonder that Dongfang Juxian was angry. Everyone knew that this " Wu Meng " was his family's trump card against the Qin family. Now that his trump card was gone, how could he fight with the Qin family?
"Do you know what Wu Meng's death means to our family? Even if the Qin family doesn't fight with us, we will be wiped out by the Immortal Sword Academy.”
Dongfang Juxian paced back and forth in the Juyi Hall. It was obvious that he was extremely angry. The elders could see the seriousness of the problem. Facing Dongfang Juxian's curses, they knew that they were guilty, but they did not dare to say anything.
"Patriarch, I have already investigated. The four sinecures who were poisoned to death had all drunk the spirit wine. This must have been done by someone familiar with them. Moreover, they must have been in the upper echelons of the clan. Otherwise, the four sinecures would not have been unguarded. In addition, Dai Moujue felt that this assassination was definitely a collusion between the inside and the outside.”
"Sigh! Have you dealt with the four dead priests?”
"As for the clan head, the funeral affairs of the four guardians have been handled properly. Thank you for your concern.”Dai Nian said with grief and indignation.
"Tell me, how are we going to solve this?”
"Humph! It's you who's not capable enough to occupy the position of the family head. Now you're blaming us for harming our Dongfang family. I think we should run for our lives before the people of the Immortal Sword Academy arrive.”
The Great Elder Dongfang Jing's face was full of schadenfreude, and it was obvious. He was even more happy in his heart. He secretly praised himself for his foresight and transferred his assets and relatives before this.
When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads and cursed this old thing in their hearts. He was actually still watching a joke at a time like this.
When Dongfang Juxian and Dongfang Yuan heard this, they were even more furious. They rushed in front of Dongfang Jing at the same time and gave him a beating. Dongfang Jing was stunned. He did not expect the two of them to be on the same side.
"You old thing, I'll make you happy, I'll make you happy.”
The moment he rushed over, Dongfang Juxian had sealed Dongfang Jing's cultivation. At this moment, Dongfang Jing was no different from a mortal. Dongfang Juxian and Dongfang Yuan really dared to be ruthless. From time to time, they would secretly use their spiritual power to punch each other. In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were just venting their anger.
As the two men's attack was too sudden, Dongfang Jing did not even have the time to cast a spell to resist. He was beaten by the two men until he was bleeding and unconscious.
"You? Dai Nian, drag this person to the dungeon and wait for his punishment.”
"Yes ~"
After saying that, Dai Nian grabbed Dongfang Jing's legs and dragged him to the dungeon in front of everyone. From time to time, he would release the aura of a perfected Foundation Establishment Cultivator and look around angrily. It seemed that he was saying," Who else wants to go? Tell me now so that I won't have to go again."
"Sha ~ Sha ~"
Dai Nian was definitely a ruthless character. He did not care about Dongfang Jing's bleeding and the horrible sound of his body rubbing against the ground. Most importantly, wherever Dai Nian dragged, he would leave a long bloody mark on the ground.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they saw this. What puzzled everyone the most was that Dongfang Yuan and Dongfang Jing had been in the same boat before, but today, Dongfang Yuan was acting out of character. He actually beat up his uncle together with Dongfang Juxian.
Just as everyone was in shock, Dongfang Wan 'er, who was in a daze, stumbled into the hall. She grabbed Dongfang Juxian's arm tightly, tears streaming down her face as she asked loudly,"Father, tell me this isn't real. This is definitely not real. Don't lie to me.”
Dongfang Yuan saw that the situation was not good. If he let Dongfang Wan 'er continue to cause trouble, it would definitely disrupt his plan. Taking advantage of the situation where no one was paying attention, he instantly flashed behind Dongfang Wan' er with the Footstep Maze and knocked her unconscious with a palm strike.
"Can't you be gentler? If anything happens, I'll settle the score with you.”
After Dongfang Juxian shouted at Dongfang Yuan with heartache, he ordered Dongfang Wan 'er to be carried back.
"Mani, what the hell is going on?”Everyone roared in their hearts. No wonder everyone had such a reaction. Who didn't know that Dongfang Juxian and Dongfang Yuan were arch-enemies? Furthermore, Dongfang Juxian doted on Dongfang Wan 'er very much. This was also his bottom line. Whoever hurt Dongfang Wan' er would be beaten up by him.
Unexpectedly, Dongfang Yuan knocked Dongfang Wan 'er unconscious. Dongfang Juxian only roared. Dongfang Yuan even arrogantly dusted off the dust in his hands and stood at the side with his arms crossed as if nothing had happened.
Dai Nian, who had dragged the Great Elder away, returned. Everyone was so frightened that they immediately fell silent and did not dare to discuss in a low voice.
"Is it closed?"
"Patriarch, not only did I lock him up, I also crippled his cultivation so that he wouldn't have any more evil plans in the future.”
"Sigh! What cultivation was there to waste? Although he had long had the intention to rebel, he was still an elder of his family! In the future, if someone rebelled again, he could just chop off their limbs or something. After all, they were of the same bloodline.”
When everyone heard this, they felt a chill run down their spines. They thought that it would be better to cripple their cultivation.
"Yes, Patriarch. What if someone only had three limbs?”
"It's very simple. No matter how many limbs you have, you just have to chop them off at the same time.”
A few of the people standing here were shocked and subconsciously pinched their crotches, afraid of being cut.
"Um, that, nephew Dongfang, you can start setting up. Time waits for no man.”
Under Dongfang Yuan's urging, Dongfang Juxian retracted his attention and straightened his body. He cleared his throat and said loudly,"Today is the day when our Dongfang family will face a life and death situation. Whether we live or die, it's up to you. Those who are willing to stay and die with me, please stand on the right. Those who don't want to stay, please stand on the left. Someone will give you a generous dismissal fee later.”
Everyone in the hall was on the right side, and all of them had firm attitudes and expressions, as if they were ready to die. In fact, most of the people had a firm attitude. Only three to five people did not mean it. However, they were frightened by Dongfang Juxian, Dongfang Yuan, and Dai Nian, so they did not dare to have any disobedience.
"Good! Seeing everyone's firm attitude, I'm very touched. I once again thank everyone on behalf of the family. Being able to live and die together with everyone is a blessing in my life. Now, I will begin to assign tasks. I hope that everyone will be sincere and united to eliminate all enemies. Your mission is like this…"
At this moment, the main hall of the Qin Manor was filled with clansmen and consecrators. Qin Yue was also extremely irritated. He paced back and forth in the main hall as if he was waiting for someone or some news. The people standing below did not even breathe loudly. Although Qin Yue was usually gentle and refined, he was actually a ruthless character who killed without blinking.
"Patriarch, Patriarch, Elder Jing is back.”
"Oh, please, please."
Just as Qin Yue finished speaking, Jing Feng rushed back, travel-worn.
" Family Head, I didn't fail my mission. I've finally completed the mission. That fake Wu Meng was killed by me with a single sword strike. The Dongfang Family is in chaos now. I even saw the entire family fleeing.”
