"Reporting to the head of the family, the elders have not returned yet."
The guard said.
When Murong Xiao heard this, he frowned and glanced out the window. It was already dawn. Those people from the Lin family had been back for a long time. There was no reason why the Murong family didn't come back!
Even if the mission fails, it's time to come back now.
unless……
They can't come back!
When he thought of this possibility, Murong Xiao's heart twitched hard and he felt like he was suffocating.
"No, they should just be delayed by something."
Murong Xiao comforted himself.
"Report!"
At this time, a guard suddenly ran in with a panicked expression, "The master of the house is in trouble! Something big has happened!"
In one sentence, Murong Xiao was really in trouble!
He stared at the guard closely and shouted coldly: "Speak!"
The guard was startled, but he still hurriedly said: "The spies stationed in the Lin family came to report that all the thirteen elders sent by our Murong family to Nanshan were killed in the battle!"
All died in battle...
When Murong Xiao heard this, his vision suddenly went dark, his body staggered, and he almost fell to the ground.
"The head of the family..."
When the surrounding guards and servants saw this, they all hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but were all knocked back by the violent zhenqi gushing out of Murong Xiao's body.
"How can it be!"
Murong Xiao's face was ashen, and he no longer had the calmness of the past. He stared at the messenger guard with bloodshot eyes.
"Did you hear wrongly? Those are the thirteen elders of our Murong family, including Elder Gong from the ninth level of Xiantian. How could they all die in battle?!"
The guard was trembling with fear and said tremblingly: "Reporting to the head of the family, the spies said that the elders were besieged, so they all died in the battle! This is the secret message sent by the spies."
After saying that, he quickly handed over the secret letter with both hands.
Murong Xiao took the secret message and quickly read it. Soon, he had a detailed understanding of the Nanshan Mine.
"Lin Zhen! Lin Yun! You are bullying others too much!"
Murong Xiao gritted his teeth, and a ball of flame suddenly appeared in his hand, burning the secret letter into ashes.
He didn't expect that Lin Zhen would be so courageous and bold, daring to lead all the elders of the Lin family out.
If he had gotten the news last night, he would have only needed to send a team of elders to the Lin family to kill all the Lin family members and steal their skills and all resources and treasures.
By then, the Lin family will only have a few tribesmen and elders left in Nanshan, and they will basically exist in name only, and will be destroyed soon.
Just because they didn't expect it, the Murong family lost thirteen elders this time!
Thirteen, a whole thirteen!
When he thought of this number, Murong Xiao's heart twitched violently!
The Murong family has been entrenched in Nanyun City for many years and has a huge power. When did they ever suffer such a big loss!
Thinking of this, Murong Xiao couldn't help but reveal a strong murderous intention in his eyes, "Lin Zhen, I will make your Lin family pay the price! And Lin Yun..."
When he thought of Lin Yun, Murong Xiao's eyes became even more murderous.
Originally, he didn't pay much attention to Lin Yun. Although the talent of the fifth-grade spiritual root was outstanding, it was still not as good as Murong Yan, who had awakened the Bingque bloodline.
But now, Lin Yun actually killed Murong Feng, who was at the seventh level of innate realm, at the second level of innate realm. This terrifying combat power shocked him and at the same time made him deeply fearful.
With this talent and combat power, once he enters Qingyan Academy to practice, his future achievements may not necessarily be lower than his daughter's.
And his daughter once tricked and killed Lin Yun, and there was a blood feud between the two families. Once Lin Yun rises, then...
Thinking of this, Murong Xiao's pupils shrank sharply, "Lin Yun must die!"
Murong Xiao's eyes flashed with cold light.
However, his face soon became a little ugly.
Because it is too difficult to kill Lin Yun!
Originally, the Murong family had more than forty elders who were at the sixth level of innateness and above, and with him at the Yuan Dan realm, their strength was much stronger than that of the Lin family.
But after the battle at Nanshan, the number of elders in the Murong family was actually smaller than that of the Lin family. If it weren't for his Yuan Dan realm, the overall strength would not even be as good as that of the Lin family.
Now, even with his Yuan Dan realm, he is not much stronger than the Lin family. If he fights with the Lin family, even if he can kill Lin Yun in the end, the Murong family will definitely suffer heavy losses and will not be able to recover for decades.
Thinking of this, Murong Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath and said: "Come here, please invite the head of the Huang family to come over."
"yes!"
The guard hurriedly left.
Half an hour later, Murong's guest reception hall.
The head of the Huang family was dressed in rich clothes and looked a little rich. After taking a sip of tea, he said with a smile: "Brother Murong called me here. What do you mean?"
The Huang family is the last of the three major families in Nanyun City, and it is also the weakest among the three. There are only twenty elders.
However, as one of the three major families, their intelligence information is naturally very well-informed.
He had already received the news about what happened at the Nanshan Mine last night, and he was already happy.
The Huang family is the weakest among the three major families. Whether it is the Lin family or the Murong family, whoever loses the most will benefit the Huang family.
"Brother Huang must already know about Nanshan, so I won't beat around the bush."
Murong Xiao looked at the head of the Huang family and said, "I wonder if Brother Huang is interested in carving up the Lin family together?"
This sentence shocked the head of the Huang family so much that the tea cup in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"Brother Murong is joking. How can our Huang family have the strength to carve up the Lin family?"
The head of the Huang family said quickly.
"What if our Murong family takes the lead?"
Murong Xiao suddenly said.
When the head of the Huang family heard this, he fell silent.
Murong Xiao quickly said: "Brother Huang should know about the Nanshan Mine. Our Murong family has lost thirteen elders. If this revenge is not avenged, how can our Murong family have the dignity to stay in Nanyun City!"
"So, our Murong family decided to attack the Lin family!"
"However, the Lin family is not weak. Although our Murong family is confident, we don't want to be taken advantage of by others. Brother Huang, do you understand what I mean?"
At the end, Murong Xiao's voice turned cold.
The threat is beyond words.
The face of the head of the Huang family changed slightly.
Before he could speak, Murong Xiao continued: "Of course, if Brother Huang is willing to assist the Murong family and attack the Lin family together, he will naturally be a friend of the Murong family. Our Murong family will never treat our friends badly!"
"After everything is done, Brother Huang can receive 30% of all the Lin family's gains!"
After saying that, Murong Xiao picked up the tea cup and drank the tea calmly.
The head of the Huang family's eyes flashed rapidly, obviously quickly analyzing the gains and losses. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Murong Xiao, "When Brother Murong said about attacking the Lin family, did he mean revenge or the destruction of the Lin family?"
"Of course it's to destroy the Lin family!"
Murong Xiao's tone was cold.
The head of the Huang family's expression condensed, and there was a look of contemplation in his eyes, and then a trace of determination flashed, "Brother Murong, I agree to this matter, but I want 40% of the harvest after destroying the Lin family!"
Murong Xiao's eyes flashed and he nodded: "Okay!"
The head of the Huang family left to make arrangements to attack the Lin family.
Murong Xiao put down the tea cup heavily, looked at the direction where the head of the Huang family was leaving, and sneered, "Forty percent? What a big appetite!"
"However, as long as your Huang family takes action, don't even think about getting out!"
…
Nanyun City, Xicheng District, Huang Family.
After the head of the Huang family came back, he summoned all the elders of the Huang family and explained the agreement he had just made with Murong Xiao.
After hearing these words, the expressions of all the elders of the Huang family changed.
"Master, you can't promise Murong Xiao!"
"Yes, this Murong Xiao clearly wants our Huang family to block his knife!"
"That's right, the Murong family definitely has no good intentions!"
The elders of the Huang family advised him one after another.
After hearing this, the head of the Huang family sighed and said: "Of course I know the worries of the elders, but if you think about it carefully, do we, the Huang family, really have a choice?"
"Don't forget that Murong Xiao is a Yuandan realm warrior. His daughter Murong Yan is currently training in Qingyan Academy and is a disciple of the instructor in the inner courtyard of the academy!"
Yuan Dan realm! Qingyan Academy!
Upon hearing these two words, all the elders of the Huang family fell silent, their expressions solemn.
The Huang family is the weakest among the three. The Murong family suffered heavy losses and may not be able to swallow up the Lin family alone, but it is more than enough to deal with the Huang family!
Even if you don't deal with it now, if you resent the Huang family for rejecting this matter, it will be easy to destroy the Huang family when Murong Yan returns from Qingyan Academy!
Thinking of this, the elders looked solemn, but could no longer say anything against it.
Seeing this, the head of the Huang family suddenly said: "However, our Huang family cannot defend the Murong family in vain."
All the elders looked at it.
The head of the Huang family continued: "The Lin family killed thirteen elders of the Murong family. The Murong family will never let it go. There is a blood feud between the two families and they will definitely fight for it!"
"But our Huang family is different. We have no blood feud with the Lin family, so..."
"When we attack the Lin family, everyone must remember not to fight with the Lin family, but to protect yourself first! Let the Murong family fight with the Lin family!"
After hearing this, all the elders' eyes lit up.
"The head of the family has a clever plan to let the Murong family and the Lin family fight in a bloody battle. Then they will both lose and they will no longer have the energy to take care of our Huang family!"
"That's right, maybe our Huang family can still benefit from it! At the worst, the strength of the Lin family and the Murong family will be greatly reduced, and our Huang family can also close the gap with them!"
All the elders nodded.
The head of the Huang family then waved his hand and said, "Go down and get ready!"
…
Nanyun City, Dongcheng District, Lin Family.
In the main hall, Lin Zhen stood above the main hall with a frown, "Isn't Yun'er back yet?"
"Reporting to the patriarch, the young patriarch has not returned yet."
The guard said.
Lin Zhen rubbed his eyebrows and sighed in his heart, "It's been a whole night, Yun'er, you must not make any mistakes..."
Lin Yun is the hope for the rise of the Lin family. If he is really involved in this matter, Lin Zhen will be the sinner of the Lin family!
"Report!"
At this time, a guard suddenly ran in from outside in a panic, "Clan leader, it's not good! The spies came to report that the Murong family and the Huang family have come to attack our Lin family!"
Hearing this, Lin Zhen's pupils shrank slightly and his expression became solemn.
In fact, when he ordered the execution of the thirteen elders of the Murong family, he had expected this result, but he had to order it.
Because Lin Yun had killed Murong Yang and Murong Feng and exposed his own strength, the Murong family would not give up whether it was for revenge or because they were afraid of Lin Yun's talent potential.
In this case, he might as well order the execution of the thirteen members of the Murong family to weaken the strength of the Murong family!
Lin Zhen pondered for a moment, then suddenly shouted: "Go and call all the elders!"
"yes!"
Soon, all the elders of the Lin family gathered in the main hall.
Lin Zhen looked at the elders, "I just received news that the Murong family has joined forces with the Huang family to attack our Lin family!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, all the elders' expressions changed drastically.
At this time, as if to verify the authenticity of the news, a loud shout suddenly sounded over the Lin family.
"Lin Zhen, get out and die!"
The powerful sound shocked all the elders of the Lin family and held their breath.
"It's Murong Xiao's voice!"
The expressions of the elders changed with shock, and they all looked at Lin Zhen, "Chief, what should we do?"
Lin Zhen glanced at the panicked elders, took a deep breath, then looked at Lin Tianyang, and said in a deep voice: "Tianyang, go activate the smoke formation!"
