Jingmen Island.
In the dining area of the Everlasting Feast Hall, Duanmu Lin held a cup of Gods Nectar and sniffed its pure fragrance with an intoxicated expression on his old face. In front of him, Gu Xiaoxue, dressed in a white dress, looked like a pure and clean Saintess as she quietly looked at the scene outside the window.
"The best wine indeed lives up to its reputation. Just the smell alone is enough to arouse my appetite. Little Xue, this old man should have no problem ordering a batch of Gods Nectar from your Everlasting Feast Hall, right? "Duanmu Lin smilingly looked at Gu Xiaoxue and asked.
Gu Xiaoxue turned her head and shook her head, "Since you like it, why would you order Gods Nectar from our Everlasting Feast Hall? The Magnificent Tang Corporation should be your target, no? "
Duanmu Lin couldn't help laughing and said, "I do want to order from the Magnificent Tang Corporation, but that brat, Tan Xiu, has a deep background. I can't bully him even if I want to! I think so! Your Everlasting Feast Hall and the Magnificent Tang Corporation should have a deep relationship, so there's no difference between me ordering from you and the Magnificent Tang Corporation, right? "
Gu Xiaoxue slightly furrowed her brows and lightly said, "I don't know what you mean by the relationship?"
Duanmu Lin smilingly said, "I know the rules of the Magnificent Tang Corporation, but you can get Gods Nectar so easily. Don't tell me you really have no relationship with them?"
Gu Xiaoxue was silent for a moment and slowly said, "Why do you ask when you already know the answer? He's my Grand Master, so I believe this matter can't be concealed from you, no? "
Duanmu Lin shot a meaningful look at Gu Xiaoxue and nodded. "I know. But what I want to know is who your Master is? Who was the one who founded the Everlasting Feast Hall? "
"I may be addressed as Little Boss by the people in the Everlasting Feast Hall, but there are at least five people who have a higher status than me if we're talking about status. Do you think I dare to tell you since my Master doesn't want to deal with the authorities? "
Duanmu Lin squinted his eyes. A glint flashed in his eyes as he gulped down the cup of Gods Nectar. At this moment, a stalwart man strode down the stairs and stood in front of Duanmu Lin. He looked at Gu Xiaoxue with vigilance and then whispered in Duanmu Lin's ear, "There's news from Haiben Island. Out of the five people who entered the three-star vestige, four came out alive. They had the most number of people among the first three countries to come out, and they also gained the most. "
Duanmu Lin slammed his palm on the table, his aged face filled with excitement. Even though he was in front of Gu Xiaoxue, he still hurriedly asked, "Four of them came out alive? Who was the person who sacrificed himself in the ruins? "
"Tan Xiu."
The muscular man no longer lowered his voice.
Duanmu Lin's excited expression instantly froze, his eyes bursting with disbelief. Gu Xiaoxue, who was sitting opposite him, heard the conversation between the stalwart man and Duanmu Lin clearly. In a flash, she suddenly stood up and shouted, "What did you say? Where did you say my Grand Master sacrificed himself? "
The stalwart man frowned. Although he was amazed by Gu Xiaoxue's beauty and temperament, he didn't give any answer. Duanmu Lin's face turned gloomy and he waved to the stalwart man. After the stalwart man left, he took a deep breath and slowly said, "Is Tan Xiu very close to your Everlasting Feast Hall?"
"Grand Master's life is more important than mine," said Gu Xiaoxue coldly. "His life is more important than anyone's life in our Everlasting Feast Hall."
Duanmu Lin's brows furrowed deeper, and a worried feeling grew inside his heart. Originally, he knew that things would be troublesome when he heard the news of Tan Xiu's death. Even the Tang Family would take action, and if the Everlasting Feast Hall were to join the fray, it would be even more troublesome.
Gu Xiaoxue shot a deep look at Duanmu Lin and shouted in a deep voice, "Shadow, go tell Master that Grand Master is in danger in Haiben Island."
"Understood!"
Only the voice could be heard, but no one could be seen. The air fluctuated for a while before calmness was restored again.
Duanmu Lin's complexion changed. Although he knew that many people in the Everlasting Feast Hall practiced martial arts, and some of them even had unfathomable cultivation, the person who just answered him had an absolutely terrifying strength. Even a martial arts grandmaster might not necessarily have such a mysterious and unfathomable concealment ability.
Could it be that he's also an ability user?
Duanmu Lin couldn't help but re-evaluate the power of the Everlasting Feast Hall.
At the Imperial Capital.
At the Tang Family's ancestral residence, Tang Guosheng was sitting comfortably on a rattan chair while tasting the fragrant tea in front of him. Tang Min, who rarely had the time, chatted with him.
"Dad, your grandson is really a talent. He's really decisive in dealing with the Qingyuan Group in Mist Source Island, and the one who benefited the most is his future wife, Mu Wanying. Wanying just returned to Shanghai from Mist Source Island last night. She called me and said that she'll come to Shanghai to visit you and Mom in a few days, "said Tang Min with a beaming smile while drinking a cup of fragrant tea.
A satisfied smile hung on Tang Guosheng's old face as he nodded and said, "Why would he push away the benefits when he can? He handled it well, very well. Even if that brat of the Mu Family doesn't feel happy, won't he still have to look at Xiu's face in the future? It's just a pity that Xiu is still too young. I can't wait to pass the Patriarch position to him in eight or ten years. "
"I reckon that even if you want to pass the Patriarch position to Xiu, he won't accept it," said Tang Min with a smile. "How can a sparrow and a swallow know the ambition of a great swan? To be honest, even I don't know what Xiu is ultimately plotting. But I'm sure that it will definitely be beyond our imagination. "
"Don't exaggerate." Tang Guosheng couldn't help but laugh. "Could it be that he's also plotting for immortality?"
Tang Min's expression moved and she said with a faint smile, "I think it's reasonable even if he's plotting for immortality. Don't forget that he's an Immortal cultivator. An Immortal cultivator can live for a very long time as long as he cultivates to a very high level. "
The smile on Tang Guosheng's face slowly receded. He was silent for a long while before he said in a deep voice, "If he dares to plot for immortality, my Tang Family is willing to give him a hand even if we have to risk everything. Immortality … hehe. Even if he can live for hundreds of years, our Tang Family can become the real number one family in China. I'm afraid we won't be weaker than those foreign families that have been established for hundreds of years. "
"If Xiu can really live for hundreds of years, then I'll be basking in his glory …" said Tang Min with a smile.
At this moment.
The ringtone of a mobile phone on the table interrupted Tang Min's words.
Tang Guosheng grabbed the phone and looked at the name on the screen. His expression suddenly moved as he picked up the call and smilingly said, "Brother Duanmu, could it be that the exploration of the three-star vestige is over? Xiu didn't do anything earth-shattering, did he? "
"Tan Xiu sacrificed himself."
Duanmu Lin's bitter voice came from the phone.
"What did you say?"
Tang Guosheng stared blankly for a moment before he suddenly jumped from the rattan chair and shouted sternly, "Cut the crap, Duanmu Lin! I know better than anyone else how capable my grandson is. I dare say that no one in this world who can kill him has been born yet! "
"I just received the news that all the passages to the three-star vestige have been completely sealed. Only members from three countries have come out of the vestige alive," said Duanmu Lin helplessly. "They are from Huaxia, Japan, and South Korea respectively. The other four members of our five-man team all came out alive. Only Tan Xiu … he didn't come out. I heard from the team captain, Zhu Long, that after the five of them went deep into the vestige, Tan Xiu proposed to act alone. Later on, his whereabouts were unknown. "
Tang Guosheng panted heavily and angrily shouted, "That's impossible! I absolutely don't believe that my grandson died in that trifling three-star vestige. Where are you now? I'll go there immediately. "
Duanmu Lin hesitated for a moment before he helplessly said, "I'm on the way to Haiben Island. The other countries that didn't come out alive will find it hard to accept the result of the exploration of the vestige, so I need to go there to solve it. "
"Haiben Island, right? Wait for me … "
Tang Guosheng hung up the phone and fiercely kicked the table in front of him. Then, he roared, "Gather all the members of the 1st and 2nd Guardian Squads and immediately follow me to Haiben Island. Tell them that their chances of coming back alive are nearly zero if they leave with me this time. "
Instantly.
The blood drained from Tang Min's face. She had heard a lot of grievous news in her life, but this one had never given her such a big impact.
My nephew … sacrificed himself?
Impossible!
Tang Min roared inwardly as she turned around and ran outside. At the same time, two burly middle-aged men exuding a valiant aura rushed out from the corner of the courtyard. Without any hesitation, they also rushed outside the courtyard.
Ten minutes later.
Dozens of cars appeared in the vicinity of the Tang Family's ancestral residence. A stocky man in a black training suit got into the car. Accompanied by Tang Min, Tang Guosheng strode into a car. As the car's door closed, dozens of cars roared and drove away.
The Tang Family's clansmen everywhere received the news that the old patriarch flew into a rage for some unknown reason and left with all the members of the 1st and 2nd Guardian Squads.
For a time …
All the Tang Family's clansmen were shocked and rushed toward the Tang Family's ancestral residence without stopping. They were perfectly aware that the Tang Family's most secretive 1st and 2nd Guardian Squads were the Tang Family's most powerful defense team. In the past, only when the Tang Family was in the most dangerous and critical juncture would all the members of these two squads be dispatched.
Could it be …
Did the Tang Family encounter a serious life and death crisis?
However, before they arrived at the Tang Family's ancestral residence, another news came. The old patriarch issued an order that all the members of the 1st and 2nd Guardian Squads would have zero chance of coming back alive this time.
"This is … the iron order of the deathsworn!"
