Chapter 410 The crisis of the Morrie family
Chapter 410 The Crisis of the Morris Family
Chier Province, Tianhong City, and the Mori Family Mansion.
As the winner of the Tianhong City Family Competition last year, the first family in Tianhong City, when Jason was there last year, the members of the Morrie family were always full of energy and full of vitality.
However, now, an inexplicable anxiety atmosphere flows continuously in the family mansion, oppressing all members of the entire Morri family, making people feel dull and suffocating.
In the family meeting room, the Maverick Cest and others of the Mori family were all sitting upright in the hall with gloomy faces.
"Clan leader, no matter how you go, it won't work. Just yesterday, the family's convoy was attacked by a group of mysterious people. The entire convoy worth millions of spirit coins was completely lost, and the family guards who transported the goods would have suffered heavy casualties. If Yan Lie hadn't been promoted from a fifth-level high-level sect spirit master to a sixth-level low-level spirit master, I'm afraid that none of the family members in the convoy would be able to come back alive with the help of Master Locke not long ago."
"Now, Yan Lie is still lying in the room and is seriously injured. He may have to cultivate for at least one or two months. This... the family will not be able to continue like this."
In the seat below, Elder Marconi stood up and spoke in grief and anger.
In the hall, all the members of the Mori family lowered their heads inconspicuously and sighed, and the patriarch Kester also looked tired. In just one year, a lot of white hair had been added to his hair and he became much older.
Over the past year, the Morris family has faced an unprecedented crisis, which has left Kester in a panic and overwhelmed.
Last May, with the help of Jason, the Morris won the Tianhong City Family Competition. The Morris family was full of singing and dancing, and everyone's face was filled with joy.
After Jason went to the Lingchi Secret Realm, Kester and others were waiting for Jason's safe return. Unexpectedly, three months later, a news that shocked Kester and others came out of the Lingchi Secret Realm.
Jason, who helped the Mori family win, was attacked by Cohen Hill, the seventh-level low-level emperor spiritual master of the Naton family in the secret realm of Lingchi. Finally, he fled in panic and could never come from the secret realm of Lingchi.
This news immediately made the entire Morri family confused, especially Lokuen, crying bitterly, saying that the master must be fine.
The entire Mori family didn't know how to comfort him. For Lokuen, Jason, who saved his life and cured his evil diseases for him, was the spiritual pillar in his heart.
However, the matter had just begun. Not long after the news came, the convoy of the Mori family was frequently attacked by some mysterious people. The other party was strong and had a strange whereabouts. The Mori family tried every means to do anything but could not do anything to the other party.
Many families in Chil Province immediately canceled their commercial cooperation with the Mori family.
Since losing the family competition, the Rocky family, who had been silent for a long time in Tianhong City, suddenly became stronger again. They have obtained a lot of resources from somewhere and have continuously suppressed all the industries of the Mori family in Tianhong City.
During these seven months, the situation of the Mori family has been getting worse. Not only are the various external businesses hindered, but even in Tianhong City, the Mori family was suppressed by the Loki family and could not raise their heads.
The other party's plan was very vicious, which was to cut off the economy of the Mori family and slowly weaken the Mori family. In order to resist the other party's trajectory, Kester had to bite the bullet and send a convoy, and even let the strong people in the family follow.
However, the people sent by the other party were stronger. Every time, not only did the convoy's cargo be damaged, but even the family members were killed or injured.
Kester and others were not fools either. They naturally knew the reason for all this, but they had no choice but to face such a powerful enemy.
If it weren't for Locke, a fifth-level high-level spiritual medicine master, I'm afraid the entire Mori family would have been unable to support it and would have completely collapsed.
However, the other party's weirdness was obviously successful. In Tianhong City, the Morris family, known as the first family last year, have long been suppressed by the Loki family. The entire family power of the Morris family has weakened seriously this year, even less than one-quarter of the heyday.
If this continues, it may take less than a year before the Morris family will completely decline and become a second-rate family, and will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Tianhong City.
"Clan leader..."
At this moment, a servant suddenly walked in from outside the door of the chamber, holding a letter in his hand.
"Clan leader, this is a letter sent by the Loki family." The servant handed the letter up at Kester's instructions.
With everyone's curious eyes in the hall, Kester opened the letter. Just after a few glances, Kester's face showed an extremely angry expression.
"It's really too much to deceive others!" Kester's face turned red and he spoke out angrily.
"Clan leader, what did the Loki family say in the letter?" Someone asked below.
"The Rocky family requires our Morris to either leave Tianhong City or to have a life-and-death duel with their Rocky family on the competition stage three days later. The lost family must withdraw from Tianhong City." Kester gritted his teeth and spoke.
"This... the life-and-death duel, the clan leader, can't agree!" Marconi and others' faces changed suddenly, and they shouted out loud.
"Can't agree? Haha!" Kester smiled bitterly on his face, and his eyes were filled with sorrow. "The Loki family has submitted a duel statement to the City Lord's Mansion. If we don't agree, we must withdraw from Tianhong City. How can I, the Morris family, retreat without fighting?"
Everyone below was silent.
Where will the glory of the Mori family be placed when retreating without fighting? If it is spread, the family will be despised by the entire province from now on.
"What's more, even if we withdraw, will our Morri family have a way out?" Kester saw it very clearly. With the other party's methods, he would never just want the territory of Tianhong City, but the lives of all the members of their Morri family.
The people below were also filled with sadness. They could become important members of the family. These people were not idiots. Naturally, they knew that since last year, their family had completely offended that big family, and the other party would not give them any way to survive.
The Mori family cannot retreat, nor can they retreat.
"Our Morris family has experienced several crises since they rose in Tianhong City three hundred years ago. No one of the ancestors of all generations has retreated. I, Kester, will never retreat. If the Loki family wants to fight us for life and death, then as they wish, I, Kester, will definitely lead the family and fight to the death!" Kester's eyes were firm, not afraid of life and death.
"Fight to death and never retreat, fight to death and never retreat!"
Everyone below roared out loud. This is the power of a family inheritance. He knew that there were many crises ahead and that there were many dangers ahead, but he did not retreat at all.
"Master Locke." Kester suddenly spoke to Locke: "Tomorrow, you will take Locke and secretly leave the family and live in seclusion in a place where no one knows you."
"Lokuen, you practice hard with Master Locke. Master Jace is so powerful. His family must not be an ordinary person. You can secretly inquire about Master Jace's family. If you find it, tell the other party about Master Jace's death and seek the other party's protection. If you can't find it, then practice hard. When you are strong, come back and avenge us all."
"No, father,!" Lokuen stood up suddenly, his expression was extremely excited: "I won't leave, I'm going to be with the family. I also believe that Master will never die, he will definitely come back."
Kester spoke angrily: "Lokuen, do you not even listen to your father's words? Lokuen, you are the only hope of our Mory family. Do you want all of us to die with peace? Son, there is hope only when you live!"
Since Jason cured Lokuen's condition last year, the cultivation progress of Lokuen who practiced diligently shocked Kester and others. It has only been ten months since Jason went to the secret realm of the Spirit Pool, but in these ten months, Lokuen has been promoted from the original fourth-level low-level spiritual master to the current fifth-level low-level spiritual master.
In less than a year, he advanced to the first level. He had such a powerful cultivation speed, and he had never even heard of it.
Until now, Kester and the others understood what the congratulations they said to him after exploring Lokuen's body. The speed of cultivation of this wood spirit body in the mouth of Lord Jace is too terrifying, right?!
With Lokuen's cultivation speed, Kester and the others were full of confidence. In a decade or twenty years, Lokuen would definitely have the strength to come back to avenge himself.
However, over the past year, Lokuen has not believed in the news that Lord Jace has passed away, which made Kester quite helpless. In history, the spiritual master who was unable to come out after entering the secret realm of the Spirit Pool has never come out alive again.
"No, I won't leave!" Lokuen took a step forward, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were unyielding, retorting: "I know that there is hope in life, but..."
"Nothing but!" Kester suppressed his anger in his tone: "You have hard wings, right? You didn't even listen to my words. OK, very good. From now on, I Kester will pretend that I don't have your son."
"Father!" Lokuen choked and said. He did not expect that his father, who had always loved him, would be so heartless.
"Don't call me father." Kester's face was determined, "Okay, I'm tired too. Everyone, let's all go."
Kester turned around and walked out of the hall decisively. No one saw it. At the moment he turned around, tears flashed in his eyes.
In the silent chamber, noisy sounds began to sound. Marconi and others looked at Lokuen, who was standing in the hall in a daze, sighed secretly and walked out of the hall.
