In a dark secret room, several people in black cloaks sat opposite each other, making the atmosphere in this dark secret room seem particularly depressing.
One of them suddenly asked in a deep voice with a slightly old voice:
"Third brother, if you don't take good care of the Holy Blood Crystal, why did you call us to the family secret room in such a hurry? You must have lost your temper so quickly, right? In the past, you only guarded it for four or five years.
Forget it, but this time you and your second brother have only been together for less than a month, and you don’t want to do it so soon? You’ve gone too far with your game, do you want to be locked up? "
The sound was not loud, but everyone could hear some anger in it, and the most surprising thing was that it was impossible to tell where the sound came from.
As soon as these words came out, a figure in black robe who could not see his face clearly among the crowd stood up and took a step forward. An old face under the black robe looked at the crowd in front of him with a smile and said:
"It's not that I want to be lazy and not work today, but that I don't have to work anymore in the future."
The old man's calm tone when he spoke made everyone frown and seemed a little unhappy.
The moment these words were spoken, everyone suddenly felt that the temperature of the space around them was rising, and one of the men in black robes also started to stir in his breath.
Seeing this situation, the old man quickly stopped his expression of wanting to continue joking, and his face under the black robe had a solemn expression.
Everyone seemed to regard this pitch-black space as if it were daylight. Seeing this, they stopped talking. The rising temperature and the terrifying aura in the secret room gradually returned to calm.
After everyone regained their composure and became serious, the old voice full of laughter spoke again. This time, it no longer had the same joking tone as before, but was very solemn and cautious.
He looked at the tallest man in black robes among the crowd. Due to the cover of the black robes, he could not see the man's eyes.
But for some unknown reason, the two of them raised their heads in perfect agreement and faced each other from a distance. Without the obstruction of their black robes, their eyes would have been in contact.
After a few breaths, the old voice finally spoke slowly:
"The Holy Blood Crystal is lit up, and it's still a god-level bloodline!"
A simple sentence, but the atmosphere that had just become serious boiled up again in an instant.
The elders were constantly excited about each other, with tears streaming down their faces. The Holy Blood Crystal was a herald of their family's upcoming prosperity. They had been guarding the Holy Blood Crystal for many years, in the hope that one day it would represent the family.
The holy blood crystal of hope can shine brightly.
Because, as long as the Holy Blood Crystal shines, it means that there is a descendant of the family who has just returned to this continent.
Moreover, there will only be outstanding descendants with extremely strong bloodline and extraordinary talents, and by that time, the family will be prosperous.
But now, their long-term protection has finally paid off. The Holy Blood Crystal has lived up to their expectations!
"boom"
Suddenly, an extremely strong soul storm raged through the entire secret room, until it enveloped the entire secret room, and several restrictions were added outside before it gradually stopped.
Since the soul storm appeared, the elders in the secret room stood up and stopped talking. They quickly arranged their clothes and stood quietly in their positions waiting.
Suddenly, the old man who spoke first before spoke again seriously:
"Third Elder, you actually dared to joke in front of us about such a big matter. What crime should you be responsible for delaying the opportunity!"
The third elder's face changed drastically when he heard this. He understood that now the chief elder of the family was really angry. So he hurriedly replied:
"Xiao Mingyuan knew that he was guilty, so he asked the great elder to punish him."
Although Xiao Mingyuan was the third elder in the Xiao clan, he was extremely playful and did not protect the Holy Blood Crystal well. He would often sneak out of the clan and cause a lot of trouble when he came back, making the senior family members dumbfounded.
If he hadn't just caused some trivial things and was the third elder of the family, he would have been locked up by the family long ago.
The people from the Presbyterian Church also tried to persuade him in every possible way, but he remained indifferent and continued to do whatever he wanted to do.
Until this year, it was the third elder's turn to protect the Holy Blood Crystal. If the elder hadn't happened to come out of seclusion this time and knew about his misdeeds over the years, he would be furious and use his tyrannical strength and clan rules to suppress him.
, I’m afraid, it’s time for him to run out again now.
But fortunately, he respects the great elder very much, and due to the clan rules, he doesn't dare to run around anymore.
But now, after only one month of exchange with the second elder, he actually called the elders again. This made several elders who knew his temperament quite unhappy. The first elder was also extremely unhappy. Finally, this caused a big fuss.
After a long time, Xiao Mingyuan had no choice but to admit defeat and let the Great Elder punish him.
"Elder Xiao Mingyuan knew about the family's major events, but delayed reporting them and was sentenced to one month of confinement. However, since Elder Xiao Mingyuan reported the family's major events with merit, the task of finding that person's whereabouts and bringing him back to the family is left to you. Elder Xiao Mingyuan, can you
Have any objections?"
The Great Elder stared at Xiao Mingyuan and asked in an unquestionable tone. Xiao Mingyuan leaned slightly and replied to the Great Elder:
"Back to the Great Elder, Xiao Mingyuan has no objections."
At this moment, in his heart, he was extremely happy with the Great Elder's punishment, and it was too late to thank him, so how could he have the intention to object. Although he was imprisoned for a month, he thought that he would be able to leave the family after one month. In this month,
It didn't matter, so he accepted the punishment directly.
What the great elder did was just to find a reason for him to leave the family. Anyway, this way he could not only get rid of the troublemaker Xiao Mingyuan, but also find the clansman with the god-level bloodline. Why not do it?
The other elders naturally knew it very well, but they could only curl their lips and nod in agreement. After all, the great elder had spoken, and who dared to object.
After all the matters were assigned and the elders had tidied up, the Great Elder was full of energy and said in a deep voice:
"No one else is allowed to know about today's events except us and the head of the family. Once any outsider is found to know about this matter, he will be killed without mercy!"
The great elder's words were full of domineering meaning, but everyone also understood that this was for the sake of the family's future, so they all nodded and replied:
"yes!"
In response to the reactions of the elders, the great elder also nodded, and then his figure gradually disappeared into the dark secret room. Each elder also retreated and left the secret room.
At this time, Xiao Yan, who was tens of thousands of miles away, was flying towards the towering mountain peak with Huo Yi.
I didn't know until I left, but I was shocked when I left. I didn't expect that this seemingly not far distance would be quite time-consuming to drive at Xiao Yan's speed, which made the two of them feel helpless.
