Chapter 23: Various Parties Make Their Moves

  Upon receiving the elder's order, the young masters of the Murong family made preparations that very night.

  "Brother Nan, where's Brother Xiong? How come we haven't seen him all night, and we're about to take action..."

  A young man had just put on his night-traveling clothes and was tying his belt while asking a middle-aged man beside him.

  He was also puzzled, this time coming to Moyun City, apart from the elder, Murong Xiong and Murong Nan were the main people in charge, but now, just as they were about to take action, he couldn't see Murong Xiong's figure!

  "He's dead!"

  A middle-aged man, namely Murong Nan, fastened his own belt, a bitter expression flashed across his face, and a hint of indifference flickered in his eyes as he spoke.

  Silent.

  As soon as Murong Nan's words fell, the other six young men who were wearing night-traveling clothes all looked stunned. This big living person was still fine this morning, but in the evening, he was actually told that he had already died.

  "Who? Who killed?"

  The young man's eyes were wide with wonder, directly asking out everyone's inner voice.

  The young masters of the Murong family, although they are very arrogant and domineering outside, but among themselves, they are extremely united. This is also a tradition that has been passed down in the Murong family! At this time, when they heard that their often-criticized "Brother Xiong" had died, they naturally wanted to investigate the truth.

  "...because he offended the master of the Tianjian Sect and was killed by the Sword-Bearing Elder of the Tianjian Sect..."

  Murong Nan slightly shook his head, he really didn't want to recall this reality.

  He and Murong Xiong, although not biological brothers, had a very good relationship between them. The two had been together since childhood, practicing together, and going through many trials and tribulations, and had a certain status in the Murong family.

  If Murong Xiong were killed by an ordinary person, he would have taken his brothers to avenge him long ago. Now, he can only feel deeply painful in his heart, because the other party is the Tianjian Sect's Sword Elder, and he is not qualified to take revenge!

  At these words, all the other young people fell silent.

  Tianjian Sect...

  They all knew that the family would not offend the Tianjian Sect for a collateral descendant like Murong Xiong!

  In fact, they also knew that such behavior, even if the direct descendants of the Murong family were killed, the Murong family would not be in the right and could only suffer a dumb loss.

  "Alright, Xiao Bin and you few kids, don't let this matter affect you. Tonight's event is extremely important for the entire Murong family, once it's done, our master will definitely not treat us unfairly! But if it fails... you all know the elder's temper!"

  Murong Nan's voice became increasingly serious, tonight's matter was extremely important, if it were to be ruined because of these children's emotions, then the only thing waiting for them would be the family's punishment.

  "Yes, Brother Nan!"

  After all, they were trained, so Murong Bin and others' faces suddenly recovered, and they responded solemnly.

  "Let's go!"

  Covering his face with a black cloth from behind his head, Murong Nan was the first to open the window and jump out.

  Others also covered their faces and jumped out of the window one after another.

  A figure, like a nimble rabbit, jumped onto the deserted street due to the late night and then darted into an alleyway, gradually disappearing into the darkness.

  Destination, Renjia.

  "Hum! The Murong Family!"

  Similarly, a small team of black-clad men disappeared into the darkness in the same direction after the people from Murong's house vanished into the dark night.

  ………

  Yong Lai Guesthouse

  Although it was already late at night, the lights in Tianzi No. 1 Building were still shining brightly.

  "Your Highness, people from the Murong family, the Nangong family, and the Mo family have all set out."

  A stern and murderous aura emanated from the straight-standing black-clad young man, clearly indicating that he had received extremely formal special training! At this moment, the young man was bowing his head to report to a middle-aged man sitting at the desk, fanning himself with a jade fan, with a face as white as jade.

  "Can't wait anymore?"

  Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man slightly closed his eyes and tapped his left hand on the table, then slowly opened them again. "Qin Yi, lead a group of 'Hidden Division' to keep watch outside the Ren's residence. Remember, mantis catches cicada, oriole is behind."

  Since you can't wait any longer, I'll add more fuel to the fire, that's when it gets interesting!

  The Murong family, the Nangong family, when did these second-rate families dare to compete with the Qin Wangfu?

  It seems that this time when I go back, I will have to take some action to warn them properly.

  No coincidence, no book. The idea of a middle-aged man was exactly the same as that of Fan Yiran, the sword-bearing elder of Jianzong on that day, except that Fan Yiran was aimed at the Murong family, while the Qin Wangfu was aimed at both the Murong and Nangong families!

  The Murong family had unknowingly risen to the pinnacle of power.

  "Yes!"

  The young man, Qin Yi, left at the sound of his name being called.

  "Hum! The 'Yong Huang Dian' passed down from Yong Huang, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors 10,000 years ago... I, the Qin Wang Fu, will definitely get it!"

  The middle-aged man slowly stood up, elegantly opening the jade fan in his hand, gently fanning himself, and through the window open to the street, his gaze had already converged entirely on the direction of the Ren family.

  In another room, Tianzi No. 2's house was also brightly lit.

  "What's with all the commotion tonight? That old guy Fan Yiran still hasn't made a move?"

  A slender old man stood by the window, gazing at the starry night sky, "This doesn't seem like that old fellow's behavior, could something have happened?"

  "Master Shibo, shall we set off?"

  Behind the old man stood a middle-aged man with burning eyes, who was now opening his mouth to ask.

  "Alright, let's go. We can't delay any further," the thin old man waved his hand in response to the middle-aged man's words, "I'll wait a bit longer and then I'll come. But... you mustn't lose face for Yuan Zong!"

  "Yes!"

  The middle-aged man walked out of the house and headed towards another room on the other side. Over there, a group of fellow disciples were waiting for his response.

  ………

  Under the soft moonlight, in the elegant building.

  In front of the building, a delicate and slender figure stood facing the wind, as if someone might worry that this fragile figure could be blown down by the wind at any moment.

  "Great Elder!"

  Lanyuner stood behind, respectfully saluting the delicate figure with her back turned.

  "Uh," the petite figure slowly turned around, her slightly graying long hair falling to her waist, matching her girlish cheeks, making it seem so out of place. "Yuner, when we're outside, there's no need for such formalities."

  "Yes! Hehe......"

  Lan Yun'er heard this and burst out laughing, then took a step forward, standing beside the petite figure, taking her right hand in hers. "Rou Yi, why have you come personally this time? I was busy the past two days and didn't get to ask you properly."

  Looking at the girl who is now slightly taller than herself, Lan's face reveals a loving smile, "Missing you, little one."

  Ever since that thing happened back then, I've been incredibly lonely in my heart, day after day, year after year, stuck on that icy peak...

  I don't know how long it's been, I don't know how many years have passed...

  That little girl who climbed up the iceberg out of curiosity and called herself "sister" when she opened her mouth has also grown up now!

  This time, it was because he hadn't seen this girl for a long time; secondly, the sect master actually said that person wasn't dead and would appear here again this time.

  It finally came.

  "Rou Yi, tonight all the major forces' men are heading towards the Ren family... I didn't expect that after investigating for half a year we finally got results, but the 'hidden department' of the Qin Wang Fu was found out in less than half a month..."

  Lan Yun'er's words carried a hint of desolation.

  "Silly girl!"

  Lan Rou shook her head, "Each profession has its own specialization! You originally didn't receive training in this area, so it's naturally not comparable."
