When everything was quiet, ancient and melodious bells suddenly sounded throughout the Huangfu family.
This is the death knell!
In the Huangfu family, only when an elder who has a very high seniority and has made outstanding contributions dies, the death knell will sound.
The melodious but extremely heavy sound of the bell spread throughout the Huangfu family, waking up many people who were sleeping.
"The death knell, this, this is the death knell!"
"Who died?"
"Ancestor, our ancestor must have gone to Hexi!"
"What? The ancestor passed away?"
In each courtyard and in each wing, there were sounds of shock.
Huangfu Xiongtu also woke up. He heard the death knell. He knew very well that his ancestor was really gone at this moment. There was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, but more of it was a sense of relief.
He immediately changed his clothes, and then hurried towards the direction of Zizhuyuan with a heavy expression on his clothes.
The eldest elder Huangfu Yinghai and other elders also rushed towards Zizhuyuan. Our ancestor was highly respected and he was the most senior and most respected elder in the Huangfu family during his lifetime. Now that he has passed away, this has touched the hearts of many people.
, all rushed to Zizhuyuan to mourn.
Huangfu Xiongtu, Huangfu Yinghai and others arrived at Zizhuyuan almost at the same time. When they walked in, they saw Huangfu Qingyun, whose face was haggard and gloomy, giving people a feeling of sadness that could not be greater than death.
His face was expressionless, probably because he was suffering from grief to the point of numbness.
"Qingyun, ancestor, she, she is the old man," Huangfu Xiongtu said.
Huangfu Qingyun came back to his senses and said slowly: "The ancestor has passed away. He was very quiet and peaceful when he left."
"Hey!" Huangfu Xiongtu sighed, with a look of grief on his face, and said, "My ancestors worked hard, dedicated themselves to the Huangfu family, and made many unparalleled contributions. Now that our ancestors are gone, they deserve to be buried with a good burial.
!”
"Thank you very much, Master." Huangfu Qingyun said.
"Qingyun, don't be overly sad. Our mood is the same as yours. Even though our ancestor is gone, I think she will always live in our hearts." Huangfu Yinghai also said.
While they were talking, Huangfu Xiongtu, Huangfu Yinghai and other elders walked into the side room to take a last look at the remains of their ancestors.
However, they saw Huangfu Ruolan and the white-haired beauty guarding their ancestors. Their eyes were red and swollen from crying. At this time, there was not a single tear in their eyes. They thought they had dried up all the tears.
"Ancestor, I hope you have a good journey. You have worked hard for the Huangfu family during your lifetime. I hope that after your death, you can rest in the pure land of Paradise. Everyone in the Huangfu family will remember the teachings and contributions of our ancestors." Huangfu Xiong
Tu said in a sad tone.
After all the senior figures in the Huangfu family came to visit the ancestor, the next step was to wash the ancestor's body, put on new clothes, and dress him neatly before entering the coffin.
Huangfu Ruolan and the white-haired beauty will do these things.
By daybreak, the news of the death of the ancestor of the Huangfu family had spread to the rest of the hidden families.
Murong Family, Ximen Family, Di Family, Gu Family, Tianmen Sect and other well-established families as well as major sects have already learned about the news, and some people who respect their ancestors have also taken the initiative to come to the Huangfu Family to express their condolences.
…
Murong family.
Murong Feiying had already received the news early in the morning that the ancestor of the Huangfu family had passed away.
"The ancestor of the Huangfu family has passed away? This news is not surprising. The ancestor is already old and cannot withstand the passage of time. As a result, the Huangfu family will have major fluctuations in the short term." Murong Fei
Yingyan's eyes darkened and he said slowly.
Murong Dongchen on the side asked: "Dad, should we go to Huangfu's house to pay homage?"
Murong Feiying nodded and said: "Of course I have to go. Our ancestors are highly respected, so if we don't go, we will be criticized. But I heard that this time our ancestors were critically ill, and only Huangfu Ruolan came back, and Xiao Yunlong was missing.
There is no trace. This is a bit strange."
Mentioning Xiao Yunlong, murderous intent overflowed from Murong Dongchen's eyes. Even the entire Yangtze River would not be able to wash away all the humiliation Xiao Yunlong had brought to him.
"Last time, I entrusted the Hidden Killing School to track down the details of Xiao Yunlong. I don't know if there are any clues." Murong Feiying said.
"The details? What are the details about Xiao Yunlong?" Murong Dongchen asked.
"Xiao Yunlong's name is Demon King, and he is famous in the dark world. I heard that he has his own mercenary group in the dark world. I naturally want to investigate these details." Murong Feiying said in a deep voice.
.
After thinking for a while, Murong Feiying picked up the phone and made a call.
"Hey, do you want to return to the sect master? It's me."
"Master Murong, I was just looking for you."
"Is it possible that you have already found out some information?" Murong Feiying's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Murong Family Head, this Xiao Yunlong, in the name of the Demon King, is really famous in the dark world and is known as a peerless strongman. After my investigation and some intelligence collected, now in the dark world there are
There are rumors about Xiao Yunlong. The specific thing is that some time ago, about seven or eight days ago, Xiao Yunlong had a battle with the four peerless experts in the dark world in the Desert of Death. After that battle, there were two peerless experts in the dark world.
The strong man was killed by Xiao Yunlong, but Xiao Yunlong disappeared."
"What? Missing? How to interpret this?"
"It means that no one is seen alive, no body is found dead, and there is no news. According to the speculations of many people in the dark world, Xiao Yunlong is probably dead."
"Dead? Is this news credible?"
"I'm not sure whether it's 100% or not. But I'm at least 60% certain that Xiao Yunlong is dead."
"Hmph! If he really died overseas, it would be an advantage for him!" Murong Feiying said coldly with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"I wonder what the Murong family's next plan is?"
"The ancestor of the Huangfu family has passed away, so naturally I have to go to the Huangfu family. Even if Xiao Yunlong is dead, isn't there still the Xiao family?"
"Oh? Does the Murong family plan to kill all the Xiao family?"
"The Xiao family is entrenched in Jianghai City and claims to be the head of the martial arts family in Jianghai City. However, in front of us, they are nothing more than ants. Since Xiao Yunlong is dead, what is the use of keeping the Xiao family? Just uproot them and eliminate them completely!" Murong
Feiying's eyes flashed with fierce murderous intent, and he said in a solemn tone.
"The head of the Murong family is really someone who does great things. Such methods are cruel! The Xiao family really has no reason to exist. Let's take this opportunity to completely suppress the Xiao family!"
"When the time comes, I hope the sect master can help me."
"This is inevitable, we are allies!"
"Okay, let's do this first."
Murong Feiying spoke and ended the call with the leader of the hidden killing sect.
"Xiao Yunlong, did you finally die overseas? Don't think that everything will be over once you die. I will make your Xiao family fall apart!"
Murong Feiying said in a cold voice, already beginning to think of ways to take revenge on the Xiao family in his heart.
