The Tang Family's Death Warrior Iron Order was a special order. Once the Tang Family's Patriarch issued the order, all the members of the 1st and 2nd Guardian Squads would have the opportunity to withdraw. If they chose not to withdraw, they would have to face the crisis of life and death together with the Tang Family's Patriarch.
At this moment …
All the core members of the Tang Family trembled. They realized that something big had happened to the Tang Family. Moreover, this was the fourth time since the Tang Family had been established that it had faced a life and death crisis.
Half a day later.
All the big shots in the Imperial Capital had received the news of the Tang Family's unusual movements. For a time, the big shots of various forces continuously sent intelligence personnel to figure out what happened to the Tang Family and why Tang Guosheng left the Tang Family and the Imperial Capital with great fanfare.
In the vast sea.
A liner was braving the wind and waves as it rushed toward the Strait of Malacca. Inside a beautifully decorated room in the cabin, Duanmu Lin's brows were tightly furrowed. He had received the news from the Imperial Capital that Tang Guosheng was coming with a large number of people.
"Boss, there's a fishing boat ahead. According to the signal released from there, it's our people. "A short middle-aged man in a training suit quickly appeared in the room.
Duanmu Lin's expression shifted and he strode out of the room. When he came to the bow deck, he saw Zhu Long's group of four standing on the approaching fishing boat. Duanmu Lin's mood was very complicated. China had won a great victory this time and got the most benefits, which made him excited and pleasantly surprised. But Tan Xiu couldn't come out of the three-star vestige alive, which made him a bit sad and helpless.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
As the liner and fishing boat approached, Zhu Long, Firedevil, Electrolady, and Aquababe jumped on the liner and respectfully greeted Duanmu Lin.
Duanmu Lin nodded and said in a deep voice, "You did a great job, even better than I expected. But now is not the time to know about the spoils of war. Tell me, what's the situation with Tan Xiu? "
"Can we talk about something happy, Boss?" Zhu Long forced a smile.
"Do you think I don't want to talk about something happy?" Duanmu Lin helplessly said. Now, the Tang family was ready to make a move, and Tang Guosheng personally led a large group of people here. Besides, there's also the Everlasting Feast Hall that I can't figure out. With all these troubles added together, it will be hard for me to explain if I can't handle it well. "
"The Tang family?"
"What does this have to do with the Tang family?" asked Zhulong with a frown.
Duanmu Lin said, "Tan Xiu is Tang Guosheng's grandson. What do you think?"
Zhu Long's expression changed slightly, and even Firedevil, Electrolady, and Aquababe couldn't help changing their expressions. If it was in the past, they would not have cared about the Tang family. After all, for ability users like them who possessed miraculous powers, ordinary families would not pose much of a threat to them no matter how powerful they were.
However …
Ever since the Manchurian Tiger was eliminated by the Tang Family and the Yao Family was destroyed by the Tang Family, they didn't dare to look down on the Tang Family even though they were paranormals. After all, the Manchurian Tiger was a renowned cultivator, and the Yao Clan was filled with experts. From this, it could be seen that the Tang Family's resources were unfathomable.
"What kind of force is the Everlasting Feast Hall, Boss? Why haven't I heard of it before? "Zhu Long took a deep breath to calm his mind and asked.
"The Everlasting Feast Hall's headquarters is in Jingmen Island," said Duanmu Lin. "On the surface, it's just a restaurant with a few branches, but it has a very terrifying force in the background. Just from my observation, I can tell that the Everlasting Feast Hall has a lot of martial artists, and many of them are at least at the level of martial arts grandmaster. Further, the founder of the Everlasting Feast Hall is very mysterious, and even I can't figure out who he is. But … "
Zhu Long's expression shifted and he quickly asked, "But what?"
"The founder of the Everlasting Feast Hall is Tan Xiu's disciple," said Duanmu Lin helplessly.
Hiss …
Zhu Long and the other three gasped at the same time.
After a long while, Zhu Long hurriedly said, "So to say, the Everlasting Feast Hall is actually a force of the Tang Family?"
"That's exactly what makes me feel uneasy." Duanmu Lin shook his head. "The Everlasting Feast Hall doesn't belong to the Tang Family at all. I've sent people to investigate for a long time, but they have yet to find any connection between them. If I must say that there is a connection between them, then it's Tan Xiu. "
Suddenly …
A surging momentum covered the sky and covered the earth. The dozens of ability users on the liner, including Duanmu Lin and Zhu Long's group of four, all had their complexions greatly changed. They felt as though a mountain was pressing down on their heads, and it only lasted for half a second before they knelt on the ground and propped their hands on the ground.
Like a fairy from the Ninth Heaven who had descended to the mortal world, Gu Yan 'er was also clad in a white dress, but there was a faint mature temperament exuding from her. When she appeared on the liner's deck with Gu Xiaoxue, even Duanmu Lin, who possessed an extremely powerful ability, was oppressed and couldn't lift his head.
"I, Gu Yan 'er, am Tan Xiu's disciple, and also his most beloved disciple. The Everlasting Feast Hall is just a small business that I casually established. "
Tempestuous waves rose inside Duanmu Lin's heart, along with an intense fear. He was very strong. In fact, if he were to attack, even the Manchurian Tiger that had been killed might not be a match for him. However, the strength of the newcomer had already exceeded the scope of his understanding.
He wanted to raise his head, but he found that his body had been imprisoned by the imposing aura. No matter how much strength he exerted, he couldn't lift his head even half a bit. He wanted to speak, but he found that he couldn't even make a sound. He couldn't even move his throat.
He felt that he was like an ant, and the person who had just arrived was like a towering mountain that was tens of thousands of feet tall.
A bit of killing intent could be seen in Gu Yan 'er's eyes. After restraining the aura she released, she gently stretched out her hand. Suddenly, a stream of energy wrapped around Duanmu Lin's neck, lifting him up and hanging him in front of her. Then, she coldly said, "Tell me everything about my Master entering the three-star vestige. If you dare to utter even half a word of lies, I'll kill all of you. "
Duanmu Lin desperately struggled a few times, only to find that he couldn't break free at all. With no other choice, he could only grab the stream of energy and awkwardly said, "It's true that I invited Tan Xiu to participate in the exploration of the three-star vestige, but I didn't expect that he would be in danger. The ones who participated in the three-star vestige were four of my men, so maybe they can explain it in more detail than I can. "
Gu Yan 'er flicked her fingers and threw Duanmu Lin on the deck. Then, she shifted her eyes to Zhu Long's group of four and indifferently said, "It's you?"
Zhu Long's group of four crawled up from the deck, trembling with fear. Although they were shocked by Gu Yan 'er's beauty, they didn't dare to have the slightest blasphemous thought. Zhu Long respectfully bowed and saluted. Then, with a pale face, he said, "Senior, we did participate in the exploration of the three-star vestige with Tan Xiu. It's like this … "
After hearing Zhu Long's narration, Gu Yan 'er finally figured out the whole story. Afterward, she coldly glanced at Duanmu Lin and indifferently said, "You're just a bunch of little guys who are blessed by Heaven and have mastered some small abilities. You simply don't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth. It's your luck that my Master can go with you to explore the three-star vestige. Remember, you're not allowed to investigate the Everlasting Feast Hall in the future, nor do you care about the existence of the Everlasting Feast Hall. We don't care about politics, nor do we care about the country. In my eyes, the most important thing is my Master. If any of you dare to disturb my Master or find trouble with us again, I won't mind destroying you. "
Having said that …
She took Gu Xiaoxue and instantly disappeared from the liner's deck.
On the liner's deck.
The shock inside Duanmu Lin's heart hadn't dissipated for a long time. He stared at the spot where Gu Yan 'er just stood. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Finally.
"Do you believe in immortals in this world, Boss?" asked Zhu Long with a complicated expression.
Duanmu Lin slowly turned his head and was silent for a while before saying bitterly, "I would never believe it if it were before. But at this moment … I have no choice but to believe it! "
"Boss, that Gu Yan 'er claims to be Tan Xiu's disciple, but we've seen Tan Xiu's strength. He's indeed very strong, but compared to that Gu Yan' er, he's worlds apart," said Zhu Long. "What exactly is going on here? Also, I'm guessing that this Gu Yan 'er is a cultivator, and one with an extremely terrifying cultivation. So … Tan Xiu is also a cultivator? "
"You guessed it right." Duanmu Lin nodded. "Tan Xiu is indeed a cultivator. This is also the main reason why I invited him to participate in the exploration of the three-star vestige. Legend has it that when a cultivator's cultivation reaches the peak, they will have to face the Heavenly Tribulation. If they can successfully cross the tribulation, they will be able to break the shackles and tear the space to ascend to a higher level — the Immortal World. I used to think of this legend as a fairy tale. But now it seems that it's very likely to be true. "
Hiss, hiss …
Zhu Long's group of four sucked in a cold breath at the same time. They felt that if Duanmu Lin's guess was correct, then the Everlasting Feast Hall was definitely a terrifying existence. They could even rule the entire Earth with ease, right?
No!
If Tan Xiu wanted to rule the entire Earth now, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him?
They recalled Gu Yan 'er's terrifying strength and the identity of Tan Xiu mentioned by Gu Yan' er. For a moment, intense fear was birthed inside their hearts. If Tan Xiu really had such an idea, then they …
Duanmu Lin also had the same worry, but what made him feel better was that Gu Yan 'er had just made it clear that she didn't care about politics or the country.
As for Tan Xiu, he didn't seem to be an ambitious person. Otherwise, wouldn't he be able to become the ruler of China if he wanted to?
Countless thoughts flashed in Duanmu Lin's mind. After a long time, he calmly looked at the dozens of fearful ability users under his command and said in a deep voice, "Convey my order. No one from any department is allowed to provoke Tan Xiu, the Everlasting Feast Hall, the Magnificent Tang Corporation, and the Tang Family of the Imperial Capital from now on."
