"There's nothing we can do about it. Right now, the family is facing internal and external troubles. Many other hostile families are eyeing us covetously. The Ancestor doesn't have any good solutions either. Otherwise, we wouldn't have taken such a huge risk to come down here.
"Although you don't say it out loud, I'm sure you're all aware of it because I can feel your displeasure. However, for the sake of our family's thousand-year legacy, we have to give up on our previous thoughts. We have to wholeheartedly support the three young masters. Otherwise, after a thousand years, the Mingyu Family will no longer exist in this world. At that time, our descendants will definitely be hunted down or killed by others. Not to mention, these people will be our future masters.
"…" The last person to speak was a guest elder of the Mingyu Family. He didn't belong to the Mingyu Family.
However, he could see the situation more clearly than any other member of the Mingyu Family. He knew very well that when the nest was overturned, no egg would remain intact. Needless to say, people like him who did the dirty work were very clear about his position. He also understood that in this situation, only if the Mingyu Family continued to exist would they, who didn't share the same surname, have a chance to continue getting away with it. Otherwise, what awaited them would definitely be the pursuit of their enemies.
Hearing his words, the others all agreed. There was nothing they could do about it. Everyone understood this very well. Based on their own positions, if the Mingyu Family became stronger, their lives would be better in the future.
Otherwise, as people who had signed Spiritual Contracts, their lives would definitely be difficult. They had to clean up after the Mingyu Family many times in the past, and it would only increase in the future. This wasn't a good thing for them, who didn't share the same surname.
Therefore, the three of them didn't have anything to say. Instead, they didn't have any other thoughts about the current situation. Even if they felt extremely uncomfortable, they could still treat it calmly. It wasn't that they didn't believe in the Mingyu Family, but the reality of the situation was right in front of them.
Right now, the entire Mingyu Family was facing internal and external troubles. All the factions, big and small, were fighting for opportunities. However, for the sake of the thousand-year legacy, everyone placed their hopes on the three young masters of the family.
However, for the sake of this opportunity, the family had paid such a great price. Yet, the three young masters had returned empty-handed. As such, not only did this bring shame to the entire family, but it also allowed the people of the outside world to see that the Mingyu family's fortune had begun to decline.
However, for the time being, with the three ancestors holding the fort, the Mingyu Family's power on the surface was still relatively strong. With the Mingyu Family's deep roots, there was no possibility of it being destroyed in a short period of time.
... This was also why the other elders with the Mingyu Family........................
If anything happens to the family, think about it. We have signed a contract with the main members of the Mingyu Family. When the contract backfires, even if we don't die, we will be seriously injured. Think about it, this is not something that the gains will make up for the losses. Moreover, if we betray the Mingyu Family, our lives will definitely not be as good as we think they will be. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if the Mingyu Family declines, it is not something that small fries like us can covet.
"Therefore, everyone should listen to the arrangements obediently. Don't have any other thoughts. If I find out that anyone has any other thoughts, beware that the Old Man will be merciless. If you don't want to be implicated by that traitor, then we have to monitor each other's factions well. Once there are any strange movements, immediately report to the Old Man. This is our chance to show off. Think about it, in this kind of emergency, if we take advantage of the situation and loot a burning house, even if the main members of the family don't say anything, think about it. What if the Mingyu Family survives and recovers? Will we still have good days?"
The person who spoke first looked at the two subordinates beside him, who had different expressions on their faces. He also revealed a bitter smile and cautiously gave his instructions.
There was nothing they could do about it. If they really let these two people's imaginations run wild and they came up with some strange ideas and acted on them, it would bring disaster to them.
It was just as they had said. Even if the Mingyu Family had declined, they still had the ten great elders protecting them. The three Grand Elders, who were terrifying existences at the peak of the Blessed Realm, could still cause tons of damage to them. There was a legend within the Mingyu Family that said that the first generation ancestor of the Mingyu Family was still alive. Just thinking about it made them shudder. That terrifying existence who had lived for an unknown number of years had a powerful cultivation base that could definitely crush the world. Otherwise, the Mingyu Family would not have been able to become the leader of the ten great factions.
"Boss, it's not that we're imagining things. Third Uncle knows that someone from the Jin Family contacted us in the past in an attempt to obtain the location and whereabouts of some of the key members of the family. At that time, we were a little hesitant and did not do so. But now, it seems that the family head brought us here because of this. Even though they could not find any evidence, they have already become suspicious, so …" The person scratched his head in embarrassment and spoke to the person who had originally had a grave expression.
However, after hearing his words, the person could no longer remain calm. At that moment, if he still did not know what these people were planning, then he would have wasted all his years in the family.
However, his face immediately turned ghastly pale. There was nothing he could do about it. He knew very well just how terrifying the Mingyu Family was. At that moment, when he saw his brother acting so arrogantly, it simply shocked him, and he began to tremble slightly.
"When did this happen?
Why didn't you tell me before? What did you say to those people? Did you really reveal the location of the direct descendants of the family?
Otherwise, no one would be able to save you!
Don't look at me. The Ancestor is even more terrifying than you can imagine. You haven't reached that realm yet, so you don't know how terrifying they are. Those in the Blessed Realm can already spy on the river of time. If they know that you once did something like this, I don't need to tell you the consequences. You're still alive right now, and it might be because they can't even take care of themselves, or it could be because of other reasons.
Elder Wan Hui's face was filled with shock, but he quickly regained his senses. Then, he asked with lingering fear.
There was nothing he could do about it. Right now, he could only think of the worst case scenario. After all, if the situation that he did not want to see the most happened, he could only choose to take his brothers and run. Even if the entire Mingyu Family would bear a grudge against them, and to stabilize the situation, the Mingyu Family would send experts to hunt them down, they could only run first. There was no other way. If they really returned to the family, who knew how they would be treated?
"Elder, what do you mean by that?
Or do you mean that we still have a chance? It's just that the chance isn't too big. They shouldn't have noticed anything unusual about us. After all, we didn't meet each other at that time, and I even used some magical powers to disguise myself completely. At the same time, to better protect myself, I covered myself completely. However, the private transaction was carried out in a valley, so the problem you mentioned shouldn't have happened. After all, the second young master has been dead for a long time, and his death wasn't caused by the Jin Family. Instead, the Jin Family lost a direct descendant. That means that we didn't do anything wrong this time, so there's no need to be so worried. "The more Elder Wan Hui spoke, the redder his face became. He looked very agitated.
At that moment, he also realized what his previous recklessness meant.
At this time, when he saw his elder brother's cautious look, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. However, at the same time, for him, if he couldn't get himself out of this situation in time, what awaited them would definitely be bigger trouble.
"If that's the case, then it's very troublesome. Although I don't know if you've leaked it out, but Second Young Master is already dead. This is an indisputable fact. If you don't want to be exposed, then shut your mouths from now on and properly work for the family. This old man will completely wipe out your matters. Moreover, Second Young Master is already dead and the murderer who killed him has been found. So, consider yourself lucky this time. In the future, don't do anything like this for me. Otherwise, even if I still have some status, I won't be able to protect you for your entire lives." After speaking, he no longer spoke and quietly waited, waiting for Luo Xiu who was hiding in the shadows to appear.
At the same time, in another almost similar situation, there were also groups of three. Everyone was holding their breaths, waiting for the fish to fall into the trap. However, they didn't know that Lu Xiu had already decided to hide and wasn't going to appear in a short period of time. Under such circumstances, these people had completely fallen into a passive position.
At this moment, in the area where everyone had fought previously, the head of the Ming Yu Family, Ming Yuhun, brought a group of people and tore through space at an extremely fast speed. At this moment, his face wasn't so good. His face was a little pale. It wasn't because he was injured in the previous battle, but because he had used up a lot of his energy to teleport over such a long distance.
At the same time, because of the previous continuous battles, he had used up a lot of energy. In order to kill his opponent as quickly as possible, he had paid a price. Although there weren't any problems with his Origin Source, there were some problems with his body at this time.
However, at this moment, looking at the scene before them, Great Elder Ming Yulong wasn't here at all. This made everyone in the family feel that something had changed. "Wait a minute.
Old Man, contact my uncle first. It doesn't make sense that they've already ended the battle in such a short time. Why don't I see any corpses here? No one would take the initiative to collect our corpses. What exactly happened? Perhaps they've already obtained the inheritance. "Ming Yuhun was also astonished after comforting the people around him.
It couldn't be helped. It was too quiet here. It could be said that if it weren't for his confidence in his family's ancestor, Ming Yuhun would have even thought that those people in the family were already dead. He had thought of many possibilities before, but he simply didn't know that this would be the scene before him.
After saying that, Ming Yuhun waved his hand and formed a series of seals. Then, he tore open the space and threw out a jade slip. However, in the next moment, before he could do anything, the space suddenly became chaotic. A terrifying spatial tide instantly washed over the world.
Then, the Devouring Heaven Emperor and Xiao Yu appeared in an instant. However, as soon as they appeared, they saw a group of people staring at them, dumbfounded. Before the two of them could react, Ming Yuhun extended his hand and directly teleported in front of them. With a flash of light, he caught the two of them on the spot.
At this moment, the captured Heaven Devouring Devil Emperor and Xiao Yi were incomparably depressed. They had just escaped from the wolf's den, and before they could even take a breath, they were captured again. Moreover, judging from the way they attacked and the aura of this person, it was obvious that it was someone from the Mingyu Clan who had captured them. This made them incomparably depressed, and at the same time, a deep sense of powerlessness rose from the bottom of their hearts.
"Family Head, listen to me. Don't be in such a hurry to kill us!"
Seeing that Ming Yuhun was about to perform a Soul Search, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor was shocked. He did not think that he had a way to avoid this person's sure-kill attack. Therefore, his face turned pale and he spoke with an extremely pale face.
"Oh!
What do you have to say?
Or did you accidentally barge in here? Tell the Old Man where the people who were fighting here went.
Why are you here? If you can't explain clearly, don't blame the Old Man for performing a Soul Search on you. "It wasn't that he really didn't intend to kill the Devouring Heaven Emperor, but he also wanted to hear the explanation of this person in front of him.
After all, they had just appeared and these two guys had suddenly barged in. He originally thought that someone had launched a sneak attack on them, but when he saw that it was only these two guys with mediocre cultivation, he relaxed his vigilance and was no longer as vigilant as before.
At this moment, when he heard this person say this, he was even more curious about how this person was going to explain himself.
"Senior, are you from the Ming Yuyu Family? If you are, then we are family. There is no need to do anything to me. We just separated from your family. Although there were some misunderstandings before, we definitely have nothing to do with the Jin Family."
When the Devouring Heaven Emperor saw that this person's expression had improved a lot and his originally serious expression had calmed down, he couldn't help but feel a wave of relief. At the same time, he relaxed a lot.
