Duanmu family, conference room.

After Duanmu Qing arrived at the meeting room, he looked around and his eyelids twitched a few times.

Most of the managers of the Duanmu family have arrived!

Some are external, some are internal. What happened?

Otherwise, why would they be called together so late at night?

"Seventh Brother, what happened?"

Duanmu Qing asked the man sitting next to him in a low voice.

"I don't know. The head of the family sent a message asking us all to come."

The man shook his head. He was the seventh son of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Rui.

"Master? It looks like something big has happened."

Duanmu Qing frowned.

"Um."

Duanmu Rui nodded.

"Don't speculate. When the head of the family arrives, we'll know everything."

As they were talking, footsteps were heard.

Immediately afterwards, Duanmu Yun and Duanmu Hai came in from outside.

There were not only the two of them, there was also an old man walking in front of them.

Seeing this old man, everyone in the conference room stood up.

Duanmu Qing was shocked. Sixth Patriarch? Half-step to the innate realm?

Was even the Sixth Patriarch alarmed?

"Sixth Patriarch."

Everyone spoke up and greeted him respectfully.

"Um."

The old man nodded, sat down and said nothing more.

Afterwards, Duanmu Yun and Duanmu Hai also took their seats.

Duanmu Yun looked around the room and saw that almost everyone was there. He slowly said, "I called everyone here tonight because I have something important to tell you!"

Hearing Duanmu Yun's words, many people's hearts skipped a beat. Big deal? What big deal?

"It may be a matter of life and death for my Duanmu family!"

Duanmu Yun looked at everyone and slowly added another sentence.

"Master, what's going on?"

Someone with a quick temper asked.

"Everyone knows Xiao Chen, right?"

Duanmu Yun didn't speak in a hurry, but asked.

Xiao Chen?

Duanmu Qing's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that the reason they were summoned tonight was related to Xiao Chen.

"Xiao Chen? Of course he knows. He caused our Duanmu family to suffer heavy losses."

"That's right. This guy has been very popular in the martial arts world recently. He is known as the 'peerless duo' and can dominate an entire era."

"Hasn't he returned to the Xiao family? I heard that he is very powerful and can already fight against a half-step Xiantian..."

"Although we are enemies, I have to say that this boy is very evil. He is only in his twenties, but he can fight against a half-step innate. His future achievements are limitless."

"It's just a rumor, it might not be that strong! Anyway, I don't believe that a young man in his twenties has the combat power of half a step to innate!"

Everyone was talking about it, one person speaking after another.

"Everyone, please be quiet... Since everyone knows him and the conflict between him and my Duanmu family, I won't say much."

Duanmu Yun nodded.

"What I want to say is... Xiao Chen has come to Yangming!"

After hearing Duanmu Yun's words, most people were stunned for a moment, while Duanmu Qing's heart beat violently a few times.

Xiao Chen was exposed?

Was it that his whereabouts were exposed, or was it that... everything was exposed?

Including meeting him?

Duanmu Qing was getting a little restless. If this matter was really exposed, he would be finished!

According to the family rules of the Duanmu family, betrayers... will die a miserable death!

He looked at Duanmu Yun, then at Duanmu Hai. Did they know anything?

"What is he doing in Yangming?"

Someone asked subconsciously.

“I’m definitely not here for tourism!”

Duanmu Hai, who had been silent the whole time, said coldly.

"He came to cause trouble for my Duanmu family."

"What? Are you here to cause trouble for the Duanmu family?"

After hearing Duanmu Hai's words, everyone was stunned again, and then many people laughed.

"Oh, I dare not say it elsewhere, but he came to Yangming to cause trouble for our Duanmu family. Isn't that courting death?"

"That's right, this is our territory. Even if he is a dragon, he has to stay coiled!"

Many people think that Xiao Chen is either crazy or stupid for daring to come to Yangming to cause trouble!

Young people are so reckless in doing things. What's the difference between this and seeking death?

They say that young people are reckless, and it is true.

Do you think that just because you are a little famous, you don’t take the Duanmu family seriously?

"That's right, a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake... In Yangming, our Duanmu family is afraid of no one!"

Someone slammed the table and spoke loudly.

"Don't be careless. It's true that a powerful dragon cannot overpower a local snake, but there's also another saying... A strong dragon cannot cross a river!"

Duanmu Hai said in a deep voice.

"Since Xiao Chen dared to come, he must have made a lot of preparations... You have never dealt with him before. This guy is very dangerous!"

After hearing Duanmu Hai's words, although some people disagreed and felt that he was trying to boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige, no one said anything more.

After all, Duanmu Hai's status in the Duanmu family is still very high.

Except for a few older people and people of the same generation, even the head of the family, Duanmu Yun, could not suppress him.

"I think that Xiao Chen coming to Yangming to cause trouble for us is also an opportunity for us to kill him."

Duanmu Rui looked at Duanmu Hai and said.

"Although he is very strong, with the Sixth Patriarch here, no matter how strong he is, he can't do it."

"I asked the Sixth Patriarch to come here today because of this matter."

Duanmu Yun nodded and looked at the old man.

"Since Xiao Chen is here, we can't let him leave Yangming alive no matter what... What we are worried about now is whether our cooperation with the Holy See of Light has been exposed. If it is exposed, there will be a lot of trouble."

Hearing the words "Holy See of Light", many people frowned. Indeed, the Holy See of Light was a trouble.

If this really gets out, it won't just be Xiao Chen who's causing trouble for them, the higher-ups won't let the Duanmu family off either!

"How about we let the people from the Holy See of Light leave temporarily?"

Someone suggested.

"It's too late. If they were exposed, they would have been exposed... If they weren't exposed, there's no point in letting them go now."

Duanmu Yun shook his head.

"Especially... the experiment at the base is almost finished and will soon succeed! We can't let any accidents happen at this time."

When Duanmu Qing heard this, he glanced at Duanmu Yun and tried his best to look calm so that no one could tell.

However, his hands under the table were clenched tightly together and trembling slightly.

He is scared!

"Master, since Xiao Chen has come to Yangming, what are we waiting for? Just send someone to kill him... Killing him will naturally save a lot of trouble."

Someone suggested.

"Well, I asked you to come here tonight so that you can use your own people to find Xiao Chen."

Duanmu Yun nodded.

"The most urgent task is to find Xiao Chen... Once we find him, we will kill him immediately!"

After hearing Duanmu Yun's words, Duanmu Qing's hands suddenly stopped shaking.

You just know that Xiao Chen came to Yangming, but you don’t know his whereabouts?

If that's the case, then it's even more impossible for her to know that Xiao Chen had contacted her!

That night, he had eliminated everyone who had seen Xiao Chen.

Apart from them and their son, only Mu Lao and the other two knew about it.

And they... also took poison and dared not leak any information.

"call……"

Duanmu Qing slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not the worst situation.

Then he frowned again. Xiao Chen probably didn't know that he had been exposed, right?

Do you want to tell Xiao Chen about this?

I don’t know how Xiao Chen is doing at the base.

Duanmu Qing was hesitating. If Xiao Chen didn't know, and he told him, then he would really be betraying the Duanmu family.

If I don't tell him, can Xiao Chen avoid it?

As a direct descendant of the Duanmu family, he knew the power of the Duanmu family in Yangming.

If they want to find Xiao Chen, they will definitely find him!

Just as Duanmu Qing was hesitating about what to do, Duanmu Yun looked at him and said, "Old Nine."

"Ah? Patriarch, what's wrong?"

Duanmu Qing woke up in shock and looked at Duanmu Yun.

"You control the underground world of Yangming City, so you must also send people out to find Xiao Chen."

Duanmu Yun said to Duanmu Qing.

"It is very likely that Xiao Chen is hiding in Yangming City."

"I see. I'll have them check it out later."

Duanmu Qing nodded.

Afterwards, Duanmu Yun said something else, which was nothing more than that he must find Xiao Chen... If Xiao Chen was not found, the Duanmu family would be in trouble, and it would be troublesome!

If Xiao Chen really finds out about the Holy See of Light and exposes the matter, the Duanmu family will really be at a critical moment of life and death!

Everyone also realized the seriousness of the problem and nodded, saying that they would try their best to find it.

"Once I find the person, I will personally kill him!"

The old man, who had been silent, spoke slowly.

After hearing the old man's words, many people were certain that if the Sixth Patriarch took action, Xiao Chen would be dead!

"Alright, let's go our separate ways. Tonight... don't sleep. We must find Xiao Chen."

Duanmu Yun said in a deep voice.

"yes."

Everyone nodded and stood up to leave.

"Old Nine."

Suddenly, Duanmu Hai called out to Duanmu Qing.

Duanmu Qing's heart skipped a beat. Could he really be doubting me?

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Duanmu Qing asked, suppressing his fear.

"Xiao Chen may come into contact with the underground world when he comes to Yangming... He may also start from the underground world. You should pay more attention to him! After all, he is in Longhai and controls Longmen, one of the three gangs in Longhai. He is very familiar with the ways of the underground world."

Duanmu Hai said to Duanmu Qing.

"I understand. I'll keep an eye on it."

Duanmu Qing nodded.

"Go ahead."

Duanmu Hai also didn't expect that Xiao Chen had already controlled Duanmu Qing.

However, if Xiao Chen knew about this, he would probably praise Duanmu Hai, saying that he knew him quite well.

After everyone left, Duanmu Yun slowly let out a sigh of relief: "Now, just wait for the news."

"There is news. Tell me."

The old man said this and stood up and left.

Duanmu Qing did not stay in the Duanmu family for too long and drove back to Yangming.

He has been hesitating whether to inform Xiao Chen.

If he has been notified, then he has really betrayed the Duanmu family!

Hesitating all the way, he returned to the villa.

"Father, you're back."

Duanmu Ji saw him and hurried to greet him.

"What's wrong? Are you worried?"

"Well, Xiao Chen is exposed."

Duanmu Qing didn't know who to talk to, so he told Duanmu Ji.

After hearing this, Duanmu Ji immediately said, "Why hesitate? Xiao Chen can't die. If he dies, both of us will die!"

Hearing this, Duanmu Qing was shocked. Yes, Xiao Chen cannot die!

As for the lives of the Duanmu family and others, they are not as important as your own life!
