The mortal world.
China is a safe country.
Outside the safe zone.
somewhere.
Among the mountains.
There is a villa complex shrouded in mist.
The villa complex is enveloped in an abundance of spiritual energy, giving it the feel of a paradise on earth.
here.
That is the Gong family, one of the eight great families!
...
Right now.
The Gong family.
The main hall.
Many elders and high-ranking officials sat in the main hall, engaging in heated debates.
"We can't let the matter of the Seventh Elder go like this! Putting everything else aside, Gong Da was a member of our Gong family. How could he be killed like this outside? If we can't get justice for Gong Da, where will the Gong family's reputation stand?" one of the burly men with a thick beard said angrily. Judging from his clothes, he was also an elder of the Gong family.
"Fifth Elder, something's not right about what you're saying. Do you think it's that easy? Who is Xu Jin? Do you even know him? What kind of background does he have? How much do you know about him? Tell me, how much stronger are you than the Seventh Elder? Even the Seventh Elder was killed without any chance to fight back. Do you think you can defeat Xu Jin?" Another beautiful woman said coldly. She belonged to the family's higher-ups and was in a different system from the elders. She represented more of the Hakka people.
"Yin Xueting! Don't forget! The person who died was an elder of our Gong family!" another elder shouted angrily.
"What? Are the elders of the Gong family not human? Does he have to take the entire Gong family with him when he dies?" Yin Xueting continued to speak.
"Hahahaha, that's hilarious! You think too highly of Xu Jin! He actually dared to say something like dragging the Gong family down with him. Do you really think our Gong family has no experts?" The Fifth Elder sneered disdainfully.
"What's the use of the Gong family having experts? With your strength, you still can't beat Xu Jin. Are you going to bring out the patriarch? Will that save the Gong family's face? Will the Gong family win by exposing all your trump cards to the other seven families?" Yin Xueting continued to argue her point.
"You..." The Fifth Elder pointed at Yin Xueting, his finger trembling slightly, his beard shaking with anger, and shouted, "I will not argue with a woman like you who only knows how to use her tongue!"
"Alright, alright, everyone calm down. We're here to discuss how to deal with Xu Jin, not to deal with our own family members. There's no need to make things so intense!"
Instantly.
An old man smoothed things over.
This person is the second elder of the Gong family.
In this situation...
Neither the head of the Gong family nor the first elder were present, so the second elder was the one whose words carried the most weight.
"Second Elder, I'll say it again: you can write this down, and you'll know whether I'm right or wrong later!"
Yin Xueting stared at the Second Elder, her face serious, showing no sign of joking.
"If you can kill Xu Jin now!"
"I'm absolutely certain of killing them!"
"Then let's do it!"
"It must be clean and beautiful!"
"but……"
"If you fail to deal with Xu Jin and further antagonize him!"
"The Gong family will definitely have a tough time from now on!"
"Based solely on the current intelligence."
"Xu Jin's talent and potential..."
"Definitely no weaker than Li Xingchen!"
"But his ruthlessness and courage far surpass Li Xingchen's!"
"therefore."
"Rather than saying Xu Jin is the next Li Xingchen!"
"It would be more accurate to say that he is Xu Jin!"
Yin Xueting said coldly that she was in charge of intelligence and analysis in the Gong family, and she had full confidence in the intelligence she had and her own speculations.
"Um."
The Second Elder nodded, taking in everything Yin Xueting said.
How about this?
"I'll go there myself!"
"If I can persuade Xu Jin to join our Gong family, then the matter of the Seventh Elder will be considered as a condition for inviting Xu Jin, and we can call it even!"
"But if Xu Jin remains obstinate, then I will personally kill him!"
"That should be alright now!"
As the Second Elder spoke, he stroked his white beard. Although he looked somewhat old, his face was ruddy and he appeared to be in good spirits.
The Second Elder spoke with great confidence.
It was as if killing Xu Jin was an easy task.
after all.
The Second Elder is one of the top five members of the Gong family.
His cultivation level had reached the seventh level of the Spirit Realm.
They are extremely powerful.
"Second Elder, it's not that I look down on you, but if you're truly prepared to kill Xu Jin, then please bring a few more experts at the Spirit Realm to surround and kill him!" Yin Xueting said in a deep voice.
"Hahahaha, Yin Xueting, how can you only boost the morale of others and diminish your own? No matter how powerful that kid Xu Jin is, can he be more powerful than the Second Elder? You don't actually think that kid is Li Xingchen, do you!" The Fifth Elder laughed wildly, his laughter filled with sarcasm.
"I'm asking you, who could kill the Seventh Elder so easily!" Yin Xueting continued to argue her point.
"Stop talking!"
The Second Elder waved his hand, then looked deeply at Yin Xueting and said, "Xueting is right!"
"Killing Xu Jin is no small matter!"
"We cannot afford to be complacent when dealing with such geniuses."
"Moreover, there are many things we don't know about him."
"Third brother."
"Fourth brother."
"Fifth brother."
"The three of you will come with me."
"If Xu Jin doesn't listen to me."
