As the first ray of sunlight rose from the east in the morning, Tang Xiu woke up from his sleep and looked at Zhang Xinya, who was still sleeping soundly with a rosy complexion. He reached out to grab the mobile phone on the bedside table and saw that there were dozens of missed calls.
"Long Zhengyu?"
Tan Xiu slightly furrowed his brows and put on his clothes in confusion. He didn't even have the time to wash up and went to the living room outside to call back.
The phone rang twice before it was picked up. Long Zhengyu's urgent voice then came out of the phone, "Something happened in Nine Dragons Island, Tan Xiu!"
Tan Xiu's complexion changed and he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
"Two old black men came to the island last night. They said that they buried something in Nine Dragons Island and must dig it out," said Long Zhengyu. "The place they said is in the center of the island, and houses have been built there. Now, there are already houses built there. If they dig, they will definitely tear down the houses that have been built. "
"Who are they?" asked Tan Xiu.
"I don't know their identity, but they … are very terrifying," said Long Zhengyu. "There are a lot of guards on Nine Dragons Island, and many of them are experts. But in the conflict last night, those two old black men injured dozens of guards. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of six very powerful mysterious people, I'm afraid that those two old black men would've succeeded. "
"Who are those six people?" asked Tan Xiu.
"I dare say that I've never seen them before." Long Zhengyu shook his head. "Those six people seem to be only 17 or 18 years old and look very young, but they are very powerful, to the point that they can be called powerful. Let me put it this way. Even if they can't summon the wind and summon the rain, the magical magic they use is still very shocking. "
Cultivators?
Tan Xiu's complexion changed and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the situation over there now?"
"Those two old black men and those six kids are confronting each other," said Long Zhengyu with a forced smile. "They seem to be on the same level and can't do anything to each other."
"I'll be there tonight at the latest," said Tan Xiu in a deep voice. Remember, pay attention to safety, try not to conflict with them. But we definitely can't let them demolish the houses we've already built. Zhengyu, think of a way to delay them and wait for me to arrive. "
"Alright!"
Long Zhengyu agreed.
Tan Xiu took a deep breath. After hanging up the phone, he dialed Mo Awu's number and learned that he, Jin Shi, Xue Sha, and Hei Xiong had appeared in T country and were expected to arrive here in a few hours. Therefore, Tan Xiu immediately told Mo Awu that the four of them should immediately rush to Saipan and meet up there.
Nine Dragons Island.
In the future, it was an important place for Tan Xiu to cultivate. In order to rebuild it, he had spent too much money. Just for the early stage of the renovation, he had already spent 20 billion. In addition, he needed to put in a large amount of jade stones and set up a super formation. Now that something had happened over there, he had to rush over and solve it.
He couldn't guess the identity of the black old man, but he had a faint feeling that those six 17-18-year-old teenagers were definitely cultivators. According to the number of guards and experts he had sent to Nine Dragons Island, aside from Wolf Head and the other special forces, there were also Mo Awen and dozens of experts from the Everlasting Feast Hall.
"The other party is very strong."
Tan Xiu woke up the sleeping Zhang Xinya and looked at her sleepy appearance. Although he couldn't bear to see her like this, he still said, "Xinya, I can't send someone to send you back to China for the time being. Take a bath and leave Bangkok with me. I'll take you to a place. "
Zhang Xinya's spirit shook and she happily asked, "You won't send me back to China? That's great! Where are we going? "
"We'll go to Saipan first and then to Nine Dragons Island," said Tan Xiu.
"Where's Nine Dragons Island?" Zhang Xinya was confused.
"It's an island I bought in the Pacific Ocean," said Tan Xiu. "It's also our future base camp. Something happened there and I must rush there to solve it. "
Zhang Xinya suddenly understood. Although she didn't understand why Tan Xiu wanted to buy an island in the Pacific Ocean, nor did she understand what Tan Xiu meant by a base camp, she quickly got up, washed up, and packed up her luggage.
Ten minutes later.
As the two of them walked out of the hotel room, Tan Xiu saw Spectre, Gu Tao, and Zhang Jue waiting outside. Aside from the three of them, Singluen was also there.
"You're awake, Mr. Tang!"
Said Singluen hurriedly.
"I have something important to deal with and must leave T Country immediately," said Tan Xiu. "Singluen, let's cancel our plan for the time being. I'll come back here to find you after I've dealt with the matters in other places."
"Can you put the matters in other places aside first, Mr. Tang?" Singluen forced a smile. "My Big Brother has returned, and all the people I sent to monitor him have mysteriously disappeared. I suspect that he's aware that we're going to deal with him. If we don't deal with him now, I'm afraid he'll … "
Tan Xiu frowned and fell into silence for a moment. After that, he said, "I do have something important to do, Singluen, so I must leave here as soon as possible. Of course, we can deal with your Big Brother first, but have you ever considered that your father will be furious if I leave immediately after we kill him? Besides, I think assassination is always better than doing it openly. After all, you're brothers. "
Singluen fell into silence. He knew that Tan Xiu's words made sense. According to the previous agreement and plan, he was going to kill his Big Brother Singkuo in secret, and then take over his father's power and eventually make him the Patriarch of the Dark Shaman Clan. But if he were to directly kill his Big Brother now, it would indeed lead to a lot of accidents.
"Alright! I'll wait for you. "
Singluen forced a smile.
Tan Xiu patted his shoulder and smilingly said, "You've been enduring for so many years, so it doesn't matter if you endure it for a few more days. Don't worry, I'll come back as soon as I deal with the matters elsewhere. "
At Bangkok Airport.
Tan Xiu's group of five had just arrived and had yet to board the plane when two middle-aged men in black suits and black sunglasses arrived in a hurry. One of them had a scar on his mouth and asked in broken Mandarin, "Are you Tan Xiu, Mr. Tang?"
"Who are you?" asked Tan Xiu with a frown.
"You'll soon know who we are, Mr. Tang," said the man. "My Young Master has ordered us to ask Mr. Tang to wait for a while. He'll be here in 10 minutes at most."
Tan Xiu looked at the time and found that there was still more than half an hour before boarding. He immediately said, "I can wait for him, but I won't accompany you if he doesn't arrive in 10 minutes."
Less than 10 minutes.
A burly man with a height of about 1.7 meters strode over while being escorted by a group of black-clothed men. When he came in front of Tan Xiu, he glanced at Spectre, Gu Tao, and Zhang Jue beside Tan Xiu. Then, he gently bowed and said, "Are you Mr. Tang?"
Tan Xiu knew the man's identity the moment he saw him.
Singkuo!
The Eldest Young Master of the Darkroom Clan and Singluen's elder brother.
Upon seeing his arrival, Tan Xiu immediately inferred that his and Singluen's purpose had been exposed and that there should be a traitor around Singluen.
"That's right. I am."
Replied Tan Xiu indifferently.
"I think there should be some misunderstanding between us, Mr. Tang," said Singkuo with a smile. "But I won't explain much since Mr. Tang has to leave Bangkok. I came here this time to give you two gifts. I hope you like them. "
Tan Xiu furrowed his brows and said, "I don't think you need to give me gifts."
Singkuo took the two gift boxes from his two men and handed them to Tan Xiu, saying, "Don't you want to see what I'm giving you, Mr. Tang? I guarantee you'll like them. "
Tan Xiu was silent for a moment. He nodded to Spectre and opened the first gift box himself. What surprised him was that there was a crimson crystal inside the gift box. This crystal was diamond-shaped and looked crystal clear. There was a faint energy fluctuation coming from it.
"A Fire Crystal Stone?"
Tan Xiu looked at Singkuo with a strange expression and asked, "This gift is not light. I didn't expect you to have a Fire Crystal Stone."
"It turns out that Mr. Tang knows this precious ore," said Singkuo with a faint smile. "But I don't think this Fire Crystal Stone is as attractive as the other gift to you."
Tan Xiu personally opened the second gift box. His expression slightly changed when he saw the item inside. He looked up and shot a deep look at Singkuo. A meaningful expression suddenly appeared on his face as he said, "Actually, even if you didn't come here today and didn't give me these two things, it wouldn't have taken me long to get them."
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Tang, there's an old saying in Huaxia that it's better to squash enmity than to keep it alive. There's no enmity between us. You just want to get the jade carvings, so I hope you can give up your cooperation with my brother. "
Tan Xiu took out the crimson jade pig from the gift box and asked, "There should be a traitor around Singluen, right?"
"My father deliberately trained me to be the heir of the family when I was very young," said Singkuo with a smile. "I haven't let him down for so many years. Even if I'm not very outstanding, I'm still qualified to be the heir of the Dark Shaman clan. Also, my brother doesn't know that I've actually controlled more than half of the clan's power. It was my father who gave me the authority in a low-key manner. "
"Why did you send the zodiac jade carvings directly to me since you have so much power under your control?" asked Tan Xiu. "Also, I only have these people around me. Don't you want to play with me in another way?"
"No. I don't want to be your enemy." Singkuo shook his head. "My Dark Shaman clan's motto is that we must never provoke others unless they provoke us. If others provoke us, we'll try our best to resolve the conflict and strive to become friends with them. "
Tan Xiu looked at Singkuo, who was neither servile nor overbearing. He suddenly smiled and said, "I admit that you're better than your brother. But … "
