The battle between Gao Yan and Lei Yushan seemed like a farce.
But his fame spread among his fellow martial arts practitioners.
Especially knowing that he was only 20 years old and had already reached the peak of the Transformation Realm, made many Transformation Realm experts feel that they were getting old.
Suzhou.
In a small courtyard within a large garden.
The red clay tea stove was emitting wisps of smoke, and the teapot on the stove was making a gurgling sound.
Then a strong, powerful hand picked up the teapot, poured the tea into three teacups, and said to the other two, "Brother Dongfang, Brother Dong, please!"
The man called Brother Dongfang was a square-faced middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He had a short mustache on his chin, which did not look out of place but instead added to his mature charm.
The man addressed as Brother Dong was a handsome middle-aged man with fair skin, who also exuded an air of refinement.
Neither of them cared about the scalding hot tea.
He picked up the teacup, brought it to his lips, and drank it all in one gulp, praising the tea as excellent.
Similarly, the dark-faced man who was the host also picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. Then the three of them put the teacup on the coffee table together.
"Brother Nangong, you invited us at this time, is there something important you want to discuss with us?"
The next moment, Brother Dongfang took the initiative to ask.
Nangong Xin's eyes slowly swept over the two of them, and he chuckled, "At this point, you two shouldn't pretend you know nothing. If I'm not mistaken, you already received the news from the Lü family and secretly sent people to investigate, right?"
"What does Brother Nangong mean?" Dongfang Lin asked, puzzled.
Seeing his puzzled expression, Nangong Xin laughed in anger. He then picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup, and gulped it down, saying angrily, "Fine, since you all like to pretend, I'm too lazy to deal with you. My Nangong family has confirmed that a Gang Jin has indeed been born in the Martial Group!"
"Such a thing is true?" Dongfang Lin exclaimed in surprise.
Dong Tianshi was also shocked and said, "This is a big problem. The Martial Group has produced Gang Jin. We're probably in trouble."
"hehe!"
Seeing that the two were still putting on an act, Nangong Xin rolled his eyes in anger: "Not only that, during this period of time, the Martial Group has probably already subdued most of the martial arts families. Next, they should deal with our five super martial arts families."
Upon hearing what Nangong Xin said, Dongfang Lin and Dong Tianshi both became serious.
Dongfang Lin asked, "Brother Nangong, how do you plan to deal with this?"
"Yes, Brother Nangong, since you already knew about this news, you must have a plan to deal with it, right?" Dong Tianshi asked.
"Damn it!"
Upon hearing their words, Nangong Xin immediately realized why they had pretended to know nothing; they simply didn't want to be the first to stick their neck out.
After all, whoever steps forward first will definitely be targeted by the martial arts group.
So he said sincerely, "Gentlemen, although our three families have some conflicts in the past, this time we have encountered a common enemy. Why don't we put aside our past grievances and join hands to fight the enemy?"
"Alright, since we've come this far, my Dongfang family will definitely support the Nangong family and send five Dan Jin cultivators to be at the Nangong family's command!"
Dongfang Lin said decisively.
"My Dong family also supports the Nangong family and will send five Dan Jin cultivators to follow Brother Nangong's orders!" Dong Tianshi once again echoed.
Nangong Xin looked at the two of them for a few moments, and a strong sense of helplessness suddenly welled up in his heart. Damn it, even at this point, the two of them were still scheming.
He simply couldn't believe that the Dong family and the Dong family didn't know that the Martial Group alone had more than a dozen Dan Jin level cultivators, and also Su Long, who was a Gang Jin level cultivator.
The Nangong family only has 13 Dan Jin level cultivators, plus 10 more from the two supporting families, making a total of 23.
They appear to have an advantage in numbers.
But they have a strong will.
Besides, Dongfang Lin and Dong Tianshi made it sound nice, telling them that their Dan Jin (energy members) would obey their commands. If it really came down to a fight to the death, their Nangong family's Dan Jin would dare to fight desperately, but it was hard to say about the Dongfang and Dong families.
Moreover, the martial arts group came specifically for these three families, so why should the Nangong family have to make the biggest sacrifice?
Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on his face: "Since Brother Dongfang and Brother Dong are so insincere, then let's call off this cooperation. At worst, our Nangong family will submit to the Martial Group. As long as we are willing to submit, I believe the Martial Group will not go too far!"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Lin and Dong Tianshi both changed color. That bastard Nangong Xin, he knows how to flip the table at the slightest disagreement.
Immediately, Dongfang Lin picked up the teapot and poured tea for Nangong Xin, saying, "Brother Nangong, why say such hurtful things? Our five families have lived a life of seclusion for many years, how could we possibly become someone's servant?"
"There's nothing we can do, people aren't united!"
Nangong Xin shrugged and gave the two of them a mocking look.
Dongfang Lin, however, didn't take it to heart at all, and said in a conciliatory tone, "Brother Nangong, we were just joking. Why did you take it so seriously? Our three families are related by marriage, so of course we should stand together. Brother Dong, don't you think so?"
“That’s right! Our three families should stand together through thick and thin!” Dong Tianshi nodded in deep agreement.
Seeing the two shameless people, Nangong Xin was so angry that he laughed again.
"Since you two are willing to stand together, let's discuss how we should deal with the attack from the Martial Group!"
Inside the Wuzu base in Beijing.
Su Longzheng convened a meeting of all Dan Jin members, and even the injured Hu Lei and Deng Wu were present.
Su Long said in a deep voice, "This mission can only succeed; failure is not an option. Are you all confident?"
"have!"
Everyone said in unison.
