The wind blew by coldly, like a low whimper, so bleak, so sad, like a dirge played in advance.
"It's over, it's really over now." Mu Yunshui held up his broken arm and muttered to himself with a pale face.
"You bold rat, how dare you attack my Mu family!" At this moment, angry shouts rang out, and dozens of middle-aged men and women in tight-fitting clothes with swords as cold as snow flew over, like a torrent, and rushed straight towards the group of assassins and Zhou Xingbang and others.
"Zijing, Zirong, why are they back?" the Great Elder exclaimed.
These people are none other than the second generation elites of the Mu family who are distributed across various industries, and their leader is his eldest son, Mu Zijing.
"Because some people had anticipated what would happen today and had made arrangements. They had actually returned to the Mu family a long time ago and were just waiting for the Zhao family to reveal their final killer move." The third elder said with a smile, stroking his beard.
"What? You're saying someone predicted today's disaster long ago? Who has such a great ability?" The Great Elder was even more surprised. He knew the Zhao family had been preparing for today's action for who knows how long. Although he was wary of the Zhao family, he hadn't seen any clues. Who had such great ability to predict the future?
The third elder and the second elder smiled and looked at Mu Hanyan at the same time.
Is it him? That uneducated and unskillful young man, actually has such foresight? Following their gaze, the elder was so shocked that he could hardly believe his eyes.
"If they return to the Mu family, what will happen to our property?" At this time, the elder did not have time to ask in detail, but asked worriedly.
"Don't worry about that. He's already contacted the surrounding major chambers of commerce, including the Qin Chamber of Commerce in Qingfeng City, the Liu Chamber of Commerce in Hegu City, and the Lin Chamber of Commerce in Xinyang City, asking them to lend a hand in this critical moment. They've all replied and are probably taking action now. Our industry won't be in any danger," the Third Elder said confidently. The letters were still in his study; given the millennia-old reputation of those chambers, they wouldn't go back on their word.
"He... he was actually able to convince those chambers of commerce." The elder stuttered a little.
The Qin, Liu, and Lin families, besides their powerful chambers of commerce, were also powerful families with deep roots. Their strength was in no way inferior to that of the Mu family of Blackrock City, nor could they be compared to the Yuan family, a family with wealth but no power. However, these families were both wealthy and powerful, and even the Mu family looked down upon them. The Great Elder had dealt with them before and received many cold stares.
So they never expected that Mu Hanyan could get them to help.
"Haha, you don't know how big a thing they have done in the past six months. After we solve the Zhao family's problem, we will slowly tell you about it." The third elder said proudly.
The reason why the families behind these chambers of commerce were able to take action was of course because of the face of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. The Nanyan Chamber of Commerce was founded by Mu Nan, so he was naturally proud of it.
"Master Mu, Young Master Mu, and several elders, I hope I am not late." Just as the great elder was surprised, puzzled, and curious, the patriarch came rushing over with dozens of swordsmen.
One has to admit that the courage of the Yuan family's elder patriarch is really incomparable to that of ordinary people. Once he made the decision to bet the fate of the Yuan family on Mu Hanyan, he did not hold back at all. He brought all the elites of the Yuan family. Although their strength is inferior to that of the Zhao and Zhou families, with his own cultivation as a great swordsman, plus the swordsmen he hired at a high price, they should not be underestimated.
"What is this old fellow doing here? Is he trying to kick someone when he's down?" The Great Elder didn't understand what the Patriarch meant, and his heart, which had just been put at ease, began to lift again.
But soon, he realized that he was worrying too much.
As soon as the elder patriarch gave the order, he led the troops and slashed at Zhou Xingbang with a sword. Judging from his posture, it was clear that he was putting all his strength into it.
"Did this old man take the wrong medicine? Why is he helping us?" The Great Elder looked at the scene in disbelief and muttered to himself.
The Yuan family and the Zhao and Zhou families are of the same blood and share the same roots. How could the head of the Yuan family turn against them at this time?
"It seems that this old fox has finally figured it out." The second elder said with relief.
"You knew about this a long time ago?" The Great Elder stared at the two of them with wide eyes. From the meaning of his words, it seemed that the actions of the Elder Patriarch were actually within their expectations.
"Hehe." The two men smiled without saying anything, and looked at Mu Hanyan again, their eyes full of admiration.
"It's him again, it's him again, could this also be his work!" The Great Elder felt that his heart could not bear it any longer.
"Brother Hanyan, I have fulfilled my mission and completed everything you asked me to do." Immediately afterwards, another group of people came rushing over.
"The Wu family, it's someone from the Wu family!" Although the elder did not recognize the young man in front, he recognized the man behind him. He was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.
The Great Elder did not recognize Wu Qiyun, but he recognized the old man with half-white hair and beard and a proud expression behind him. He was the younger brother of the head of the Wu family, Wu Longji.
The Wu family is the second largest family in Nanxi County. Although it is rumored that its strength has declined in recent years, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and it is not comparable to the Mu family in Black Stone City.
The Great Elder had previously considered wooing the Wu family, even considering a marriage alliance, but was rejected outright by the Wu family. He remembered that the Wu family's words were very tactful, but the Great Elder could see that others didn't take their branch of the Mu family seriously at all.
The Great Elder felt ashamed and never mentioned the matter again, and completely gave up the idea of winning over the Wu family.
The Great Elder never dreamed that when the Mu family was in danger this time, the Wu family would actually send someone to help, and the person sent was the head of the family's younger brother. It is not difficult to see that the Wu family attaches great importance to this matter, which is a world of difference from their previous attitude.
The most important thing is that the young man shouted "Brother Hanyan" as soon as he arrived. It was obvious that they were also targeting Mu Hanyan.
How many surprises will this Mu Hanyan bring him?
Mu Hanyan herself was inexplicably surprised. After the last trial in the Valley of Exotic Beasts, Wu Qiyun and she had become close friends, but personal relationships were personal, and family interests were family interests. Last time, because of her, they had offended the Mo family, one of the eight great families in the capital, and she didn't know how Wu Qiyun would explain it when he returned.
So this time Mu Hanyan sent someone to deliver a letter just to ask him to help take care of the Mu family Chamber of Commerce. She didn't expect that he would personally lead people to support the Mu family.
Wu Qiyun saw the situation clearly and without hesitation, he led a group of Wu family elites to attack Zhou Xingbang and others.
The strength of the two heads of the family, Zhou Xingbang and Cao Xu, is not weak. The death warriors secretly trained by the Zhao family are the elites among the elites. However, they are facing the second-generation elites of the Mu family who have been resentful for a long time, the Yuan family members who have been gambled everything and have no way out, and the powerful swordsmen of the Wu family, the second largest family in Nanxi County.
Whether in terms of numbers or strength, they have no advantage at all.
The roar of killing was like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth! In just a moment, more than a dozen Zhao family warriors fell in a pool of blood, and the others were also in danger, obviously unable to hold out for much longer.
