After Duanmuqing came to the conference room, he looked around and his eyelids twitched a few times.
Basically all the people in charge of the Duanmu Family have arrived!
Some are external and some are internal. Is something going on?
Otherwise, how could they be summoned so late at night?
"Seventh brother, what happened?"
Duanmu Qing asked the man sitting next to him in a low voice.
"I don't know, it was the head of the family who sent the message, asking us all to come."
The man shook his head, he was Duanmu Rui, the seventh son of the Duanmu family.
"Master? It seems like something big has happened."
Duanmu Qing frowned.
"Um."
Duanmu Rui nodded.
"Stop guessing. When the head of the family arrives, everything will be known."
As they talked, footsteps could be heard.
Immediately afterwards, Duanmu Yun and Duanmu Hai came in from outside.
Not only the two of them, but also an old man walking in front of them.
Seeing this old man, everyone in the conference room stood up.
Duanmuqing was shocked, Sixth Patriarch? Half-step innate?
Were even the Sixth Patriarch alarmed?
"The Sixth Patriarch."
Everyone spoke one after another and greeted him respectfully.
"Um."
The old man nodded, sat down, and said nothing else.
Later, Duanmu Yun and Duanmu Hai also took their seats respectively.
Duanmu Yun glanced at the whole place, and when he saw that everyone was almost there, he slowly said: "I'm calling everyone here tonight. I have something big to tell you!"
Hearing Duanmu Yun's words, many people's hearts skipped a beat. What's the big deal? What's the big deal?
"It may be a matter of life and death for our Duanmu family!"
Duanmu Yun looked at everyone and slowly added another sentence.
"Master, what happened?"
A quick-tempered person asked.
"Everyone knows Xiao Chen, right?"
Duanmu Yun didn't rush to say anything, but asked.
Xiao Chen?
Duanmu Qing's face changed slightly. He didn't expect that calling them tonight was related to Xiao Chen.
"Xiao Chen? Of course you know. It caused heavy losses to our Duanmu family."
"That's right, this boy has been in the limelight recently in the world of martial arts. He is known as the 'Two Unparalleled Prides' and can suppress an entire era."
"Didn't he return to the Xiao family? I heard that he is very powerful and can even compete with half-step innate..."
"Although we are enemies, I have to say that this boy is very evil. He is only in his twenties and is already half a step ahead of his innate talent. His future achievements will be limitless."
"It's just a rumor, maybe it's not that strong! Anyway, I don't believe that a young man in his twenties has even half a step of innate combat power!"
Everyone was talking about it, and you said something and I said something.
"Everyone, please be quiet... Since everyone knows about him and the conflict between him and my Duanmu family, I won't say more."
Duanmu Yun nodded.
"What I want to say is... Xiao Chen has come to Yangming!"
After hearing Duanmu Yun's words, most people were stunned for a moment, but Duanmu Qing's heart beat hard several times.
Xiao Chen was exposed?
Was his whereabouts exposed, or... was everything exposed?
Including meeting him?
Duanmu Qing couldn't sit still. If this matter was exposed, he would be doomed!
With the Duanmu family's family methods, the betrayer... will die miserably!
He looked at Duanmu Yun and then at Duanmu Hai. Do they know anything?
"What's he doing in Yangming?"
Someone asked subconsciously.
"Definitely not here to travel!"
Duanmuhai, who had been silent, said coldly.
"He is here to cause trouble for my Duanmu family."
"What? To trouble the Duanmu family?"
After hearing Duanmuhai's words, everyone was stunned again, and then many people laughed.
"Oh, I wouldn't dare to say it elsewhere. He came to Yangming to cause trouble for our Duanmu family. Isn't that asking for death?"
"That's right, this is our territory. Even if he is a dragon, we still have to control him!"
Many people think that Xiao Chen is either crazy or stupid for daring to come to Yangming to cause trouble!
Young people do too many things, what is the difference between this and seeking death?
They say you are young and frivolous, but this is true.
Do you think that since you are somewhat famous, you will no longer take the Duanmu family seriously?
"That's right, a strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake... In Yangming, who do we, the Duanmu family, fear?"
Someone banged the table and said loudly.
"Don't be careless. It's true that a strong dragon can't overwhelm local snakes, but there's another saying...it's not that a strong dragon can't conquer a river!"
Duanmuhai said in a deep voice.
"Since Xiao Chen dares to come, he must have made a lot of preparations... You have never dealt with him before, he is very dangerous!"
After hearing Duanmuhai's words, although some people disagreed and felt that he was trying to make others more ambitious and destroy his own prestige, they didn't say anything more.
After all, Duanmuhai's status in the Duanmu family is still very high.
Except for a few people of the older generation and peers, not even the head of the family, Duan Muyun, could suppress him.
"I think that Xiao Chen's coming to Yangming to cause trouble for us is also an opportunity for us to kill him."
Duanmu Rui looked at Duanmu Hai and said.
"Although he is very strong, with the Sixth Patriarch here, no matter how strong he is, he can't do it."
"I came to see the Sixth Patriarch today for this very reason."
Duanmuyun nodded and looked at the old man.
"Now that Xiao Chen is here, no matter what, we can't let him leave Yangming alive... What we are worried about now is whether our cooperation with the Holy See of Light has been exposed? If it is exposed, there will be a lot of trouble.
"
Many people frowned when they heard the words "The Holy See of Light". It is true that the Holy See of Light is a trouble.
If word got out, I'm afraid it wouldn't be Xiao Chen who was causing trouble for them, and the higher-ups wouldn't let the Duanmu family go!
"How about letting the people from the Holy See of Light leave temporarily?"
Someone suggested.
"It's too late. If it's exposed, it's already exposed... If it's not exposed, there's no point in letting them go now."
Duanmu Yun shook his head.
"Especially...the experiment at the base is nearing completion and will soon be successful! At this time, no accidents can occur."
When Duanmu Qing heard this, he glanced at Duanmu Yun, trying his best to keep his expression as normal as possible so as not to let anyone see anything.
However, his hands under the table were tightly clenched and trembling slightly.
He is afraid!
"Master, since we said that Xiao Chen has come to Yangming, what are we waiting for? Let's just send people to kill him... If we kill him, we will naturally save a lot of trouble."
Someone suggested.
"Well, I came to you tonight to ask you all to use your own people to find Xiao Chen."
Duanmu Yun nodded.
"The top priority is to find Xiao Chen... As long as we find him, we will kill him immediately!"
I just know that Xiao Chen came to Yangming, but don’t know his whereabouts?
In this case, it would be even more impossible to know that Xiao Chen had been in contact with him!
That night, he had already killed everyone who saw Xiao Chen.
Apart from their father and son, only Mu Lao and Mu Lao knew about it.
And they... also took poison and did not dare to leak any information.
"call……"
Duanmu Qing slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not the worst situation.
Then, he frowned again. Xiao Chen shouldn't know that he has been exposed, right?
Do you want to tell Xiao Chen about this?
I don’t know how Xiao Chen is doing at the base.
Duanmu Qing was hesitant. If Xiao Chen didn't know and he told him, then he would really have betrayed the Duanmu family.
If he didn't tell, could Xiao Chen avoid it?
As a direct descendant of the Duanmu family, he knew the power of the Duanmu family in Yangming.
If they want to find Xiao Chen, they will definitely find him!
Just when Duanmu Qing was hesitating about what to do, Duanmu Yun looked at him: "Old Jiu."
"Ah? Master, what's wrong?"
Duanmu Qing woke up and looked at Duanmu Yun.
"You control the underground world of Yangming City, and you have to send people out to find Xiao Chen."
Duanmu Yun said to Duanmu Qing.
"There is a high possibility that Xiao Chen is hiding in Yangming City."
"I know, I'll let them check it out later."
Duanmu Qing nodded.
Later, Duanmu Yun said something more, nothing more than that he must find Xiao Chen... If he doesn't find Xiao Chen, the Duanmu family will be in trouble, or ** trouble!
If Xiao Chen were to find out more about the Guangming Holy See and expose this matter, the Duanmu family would really be at a critical moment of life and death!
Everyone also realized the seriousness of the problem and nodded, saying that they would try their best to find it.
"When I find the person, I will personally take action and kill him!"
The old man who had been silent until now slowly spoke.
After hearing the old man's words, many people were sure that if the Sixth Patriarch took action, Xiao Chen would be dead!
"Okay, let's go our separate ways. Don't even sleep tonight... we must find Xiao Chen."
Duanmu Yun said in a deep voice.
"yes."
Everyone nodded and stood up to leave.
"Laojiu."
Suddenly, Duanmuhai called to Duanmuqing.
Duanmu Qing's heart skipped a beat, he didn't really doubt me, did he?
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Duanmu Qing suppressed his fear and asked.
"Xiao Chen may come into contact with the underground world when he comes to Yangming... He may also start from the underground world. You should pay more attention! After all, he is in Longhai and controls Longmen, one of the three gangs of Longhai. He has a lot of knowledge about the underground world.
, he is very familiar with it.”
Duanmuhai said to Duanmuqing.
"I know, I will pay attention."
Duanmu Qing nodded.
"Go ahead."
Duanmuhai also didn't expect that Xiao Chen had already controlled Duanmuqing.
However, if Xiao Chen knew about it, he would probably have to praise Duanmu Hai for knowing him quite well.
After everyone left, Duanmu Yun slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Now, we are just waiting for the news."
"There is news, tell me."
The old man said and stood up to leave.
Duanmu Qing did not stay too long at Duanmu Family and drove back to Yangming.
He had been hesitating whether to inform Xiao Chen.
If notified, then he has really betrayed the Duanmu family!
Hesitating all the way, he returned to the villa.
"Father, you are back."
Duanmuji saw him and hurriedly said hello.
"What's wrong? Are you worried?"
"Well, Xiao Chen was exposed."
Duanmu Qing didn't know who to talk to, so he told Duanmu Ji.
After hearing this, Duanmuji immediately said: "There is nothing to hesitate about. Xiao Chen cannot die. If he dies, both of us will die!"
