The people in Zhongzhou were talking endlessly, and rumors spread all over the sky.
All forces acted secretly to retaliate against the Duanmu family's industry and business.
Undercurrents surged in the Zhongzhou Continent, and the Duanmu family was suddenly plunged into dire straits, in chaos and embarrassment.
The Duanmu family was in chaos, everyone was in panic, many rumors spread, and some people even absconded privately.
All the elders and deacons were extremely busy and exhausted both physically and mentally.
However, three destroyed medicine gardens have to be restored, countless industries and businesses have to maintain operation, and the shortage of medicinal materials needs to be solved.
Unfortunately, these problems are very difficult and cannot be solved in a few days or months.
Coupled with the retaliation from various forces in Zhongzhou, the Duanmu family was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and their situation became increasingly dangerous and difficult.
Soon, the huge mountain of Duanmu family began to fall apart and disintegrate.
Originally, the Duanmu family had elixir pavilions and many shops in hundreds of cities in Zhongzhou.
In just three days, the elixir pavilions and shops in various cities were closed down, and normal operations and transactions were no longer possible.
Those forces that cooperated with the Duanmu family in the elixir business were also severely affected and found it difficult to maintain their business.
Many small forces that were attached to the Duanmu family collapsed one after another.
Those forces that were still able to survive had to give up cooperating with the Duanmu family and instead looked for new backers to find a way to survive.
The big tree of the Duanmu family fell down, and the result was that the hozens scattered after the tree fell. From a family that has been pursued and fawned over by countless forces through the ages, it became a ruined family that could not protect itself.
Seeing the Duanmu family's experience and situation, not only the major wealthy families were deeply moved, but ordinary people also understood that the Duanmu family was finished!
The Duanmu family has fallen from the clouds into the abyss, and it will be difficult for them to stand up again.
There are too many wealthy and powerful forces staring at the Duanmu family, and they will never give the Duanmu family time to recover.
Those forces will take the opportunity to step on them hard and put the Duanmu family into an irreversible situation!
…
It's late at night, and the night is dark.
The Duanmu Mansion, a hundred miles north of Aoki City, should have been sleeping in the night, silently.
However, the Duanmu family has been in chaos and anxiety these days.
Even in the middle of the night, the house was still brightly lit and there were wandering figures running back and forth.
Deep in the house, servants, women and their families were talking, and children were crying, making the atmosphere quite sad.
In the master's study, Duanmu Huang was sitting on the big chair in front of the desk, eyes closed and head raised to rest.
His breath was a little weak, his face was very embarrassed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he exuded a strong aura of violence.
For four whole days, he had barely slept a wink. He was exhausted from trying to stabilize the situation and people's hearts in the Duanmu family.
At this moment, he could close his eyes and squint for a while, which was a rare moment of relaxation.
But even if he closed his eyes, he was still thinking about the family business in his mind, and he couldn't have any leisure time.
At this moment, a guard commander walked quickly into the study.
Holding a secret letter in both hands, he bowed and reported: "To the head of the family, someone has just sent this secret letter. I ask my subordinates to deliver it to you personally."
Duanmuhuang opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and took the secret letter into his hand with a gesture.
He opened the secret letter and took a look at it twice, and suddenly his energy was shaken. The fatigue and weariness in his eyes were swept away, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
"Back off!"
Duanmuhuang gave an order and asked the guard commander to exit the study.
After he lowered his head to read the entire secret letter, there was a hint of hope in his eyes, and he murmured in a low voice: "The Lord summoned me to discuss matters in person at this time. He must have learned about the medicine garden.
I'm worried that I don't have strong help, and this secret letter from the Lord came just in time, maybe our Duanmu family can be saved!"
Thinking of this, Duanmuhuang quickly put away the secret letter, stood up and walked out of the study.
He gave some instructions to the two elders, then left Duanmu Mansion alone, turned into a stream of light and flew up into the night sky, flying towards the north.
After all, he is a powerful person in the Soul Refining Realm, and his flying speed is incredibly fast, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary Tianyuan Realm experts.
A few hours later, the long night passed and dawn was about to come.
By this time, Duanmu Huang had already left the Manggu Forest and stopped on top of a mountain range a hundred miles away from Zhongzhou City.
In that mountain range, there is a towering peak thousands of feet high.
There is an exquisite and luxurious manor on the top of the mountain, including several splendid palaces, rows of houses and buildings.
"Whoosh!"
Duanmuhuang descended from the sky and landed outside the gate of the manor.
At the gate, in addition to a dozen ordinary guards, there was also a middle-aged man dressed as a butler, waiting quietly.
Seeing Duanmu Huang coming, the middle-aged housekeeper quickly bowed his hands and led him into the manor gate.
The two walked through the spacious house, crossed several corridors, and entered a palace.
The middle-aged butler led Duanmu Huang into the depths of the palace and stopped outside the door of a secret room.
"Master Duanmu, your lord is waiting for you."
The middle-aged butler said in a solemn voice, and stretched out his hand to make a 'please' gesture.
Duanmuhuang nodded, without saying much, pushed open the stone door of the secret room and walked in.
As soon as he entered the secret room, he saw two figures standing in the dimly lit secret room.
One of them was tall and tall, wearing a golden robe, a purple cloak over his shoulders, and a crystal mask on his face.
This man exuded an aura of nobility and confidence. He was standing with his back to the door of the secret room, staring at the formation diagram on the wall, silently thinking about something.
There is no doubt that this person is the Lord.
The second person in the secret room is a handsome man wearing a blue robe, slim and more beautiful than a woman.
This person is holding a string of rosary beads in his left hand and a sapphire folding fan in his right hand, dressed like a handsome young man.
Duanmuhuang was no stranger to him and knew that he was the eldest son of the Murong family, Murong Lingfeng.
When Murong Lingfeng saw Duanmu Huang coming, he bowed quickly and said with a smile: "Lingfeng has met Uncle Shi."
Duanmuhuang quickly gathered his thoughts, nodded to him, and said hello.
Then, Duanmuhuang bowed his hands to the Lord and saluted: "Duanmuhuang, I have met the Lord."
Due to Duanmu Huang's strength and identity, he only had to be polite to the Lord, but of course he would not be as respectful to the Lord as his son Duanmu Yulong did.
After all, he represents the Duanmu family and has a cooperative relationship with the Lord.
The Lord nodded and said in an indistinguishable voice: "Master Duanmu, if you can help me, please make a trip yourself."
Duanmuhuang cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Now is an extraordinary moment. Since the Lord has something important to discuss, of course I have to come in person."
The Lord just nodded slightly and said nothing more.
After all, Duanmu Huang's son died, so he could only come to discuss important matters in person. Everyone knew this reason.
