In the central hall of the Zhangsun family, a white-haired old man with a small goatee sat on the main seat. The main seat was a golden dragon wood chair, which looked extremely majestic.
The old man looked to be in his sixties, about the same age as Zhangsun Youye, but it was unknown how old he was.
In addition to the old man, there were thousands of martial artists with powerful auras in the central hall. Each of them was at least at the Heavenly Dragon Realm, which meant that there were a thousand Heavenly Dragon Realm experts gathered in the hall.
Among the thousand experts, more than half were Divine Dragon Realm experts, and there were several Demigod Realm experts. One of the Demigod Realm experts seemed to be comparable to Zhangsun Youri.
In the hall, except for the white-haired goatee, everyone else was standing straight and motionless. They looked solemn and respectfully at the white-haired goatee.
The white-haired goatee old man didn't say anything, and the others didn't say anything either. At this time, the sky had just brightened. Logically speaking, now was the time for people to sleep. With so many experts gathered in the hall, could something big have happened in the Zhangsun family?
Indeed, something big had happened in the Zhangsun family, but it didn't happen in the Zhangsun family. Someone from the Zhangsun family had rung the giant bell three times in a row.
There were only two purposes for ringing the giant bell. One was to alert the invaders, and the other was to summon the experts of the family. Now that there were no invaders in the Zhangsun family, it should be the second reason.
The giant bell was divided into three levels: level one, level two, and level three. Level one was the lowest, indicating that the enemy or the matter wasn't too important. Level two was more important, and level three was the most important.
Just now, the Zhangsun family had rung the bell three times, but there was no invasion in the Zhangsun family. It could only mean that the Zhangsun family had issued the summon of the highest level experts.
Therefore, almost all the peerless experts in the Zhangsun family were alarmed, and they rushed to the central hall. In the end, even the current patriarch of the Zhangsun family, Zhangsun Wudi, came.
That's right.
The only white-haired goatee old man sitting was Zhangsun Wudi, a little old man who looked a little shabby.
Zhangsun Wudi might be small and unattractive, but he was very powerful. His aura was extraordinary, and his expression was dignified without being angry.
Zhangsun Wudi casually sat on the dragon throne, without saying a word or showing any anger. The thousands of experts in front of him were so pressured that they didn't dare to breathe.
At the very front of the thousand-plus experts stood a powerful black-robed old man and two men dressed like young masters with decent strength.
The black robed old man was called Zhangsun Youming, and he was the eldest son of Zhangsun Wudi. He was the Grand Elder of the Zhangsun Clan, and he was in charge of the Zhangsun Clan's punishments and possessed great authority.
The two young masters were Zhangsun Wuxin and the younger Zhangsun Wuqing and Zhangsun Wuxin.
Zhangsun Wuwo was about 40 years old. He was dressed in white and looked handsome. He always had a faint smile on his face, which made him look frivolous and carefree.
Zhangsun Wuxin was a few years younger than Zhangsun Wuwo. He had a cold face and was comparable to Xiao Chen, but he was not as handsome as Xiao Chen. He gave off a cold feeling.
Zhangsun Wuqing was a few years younger than Zhangsun Wuwo. He had a cold expression on his face, which was comparable to Xiao Chen's. However, he was not as handsome as Xiao Chen, and gave off a cold feeling.
Although Zhangsun Wuqing's cultivation was not as good as Zhangsun Wuwo's, he had reached the second tier of the Divine Dragon Realm.
Zhangsun Wuwo and Zhangsun Wuqing's cultivation had reached the Divine Dragon Realm, and they were many times stronger than Zhangsun Wuxin, the useless young master. They were also the children of Zhangsun Youye's wife. It was no wonder that Zhangsun Wuxin was jealous of them. It was completely understandable.
The young masters of the aristocratic families seemed to be glorious, but it was not so. They were under much more pressure than ordinary people. If they wanted to get the most attention from the family and get the most support, they had to be strong.
Zhangsun Wuwo and Zhangsun Wuqing were far more powerful than Zhangsun Wuxin. Their status in the family was obviously higher than Zhangsun Wuxin's because they were valued by Zhangsun Wudi much more than Zhangsun Wuxin.
Trash was not welcomed anywhere, and it was the same in the aristocratic families. In order to get more attention from Zhangsun Wudi, Zhangsun Wuxin urgently needed powerful strength.
With the appearance of Xiao Chen, Zhangsun Wuxin saw a strong hope, so he immediately asked Zhangsun Wudi to capture Xiao Chen. Unfortunately, he was unlucky. Not only did he fail to capture Xiao Chen, but he was captured by Xiao Chen instead.
Almost all the higher-ups and experts of the Zhangsun family were gathered in the central hall. The reason was that Zhangsun Wudi had received a jade slip message from Zhangsun Wuxin and Zhangsun Youri.
After reading the contents of the jade slip, Zhangsun Wudi was a little surprised. Immediately, a murderous aura surged in his heart. He immediately ordered an expert guard to ring the bell three times.
As for why the Zhangsun family used the bell to warn and summon people, the reason was very simple. It was because the Zhangsun Mansion was too big, and it was more suitable to use a loud bell sound.
Zhangsun Wudi's dignified gaze swept over the experts standing in the hall. He felt that almost everyone was here, so he said seriously,
"Just now, in less than half an hour, I received a jade slip message from Zhangsun Wuxin and Zhangsun Youye respectively. Zhangsun Wuxin said that he was captured by the outsider named Xiao Chen, and Zhangsun Changying died in the hands of Xiao Chen."
"Xiao Chen escaped with Wuxin as a hostage. Li Shijie, the patriarch of the Li family, and Zhou Botong, the patriarch of the Zhou family, in order to get Xiao Chen's secret, especially Xiao Chen's The Lion King, who is suspected to be a descendant of a divine beast, wanted to murder Wuxin and form an offensive and defensive alliance to guard against our Zhangsun family's crusade."
"Youri's jade slip said that Li Shijie and Zhou Botong had rebelled. At this time, Youri and Youye are fighting with Li Shijie and Zhou Botong, and they are asking for our support."
"What? Changying was killed by Xiao Chen? Wuxin was captured by Xiao Chen? How could that bumpkin be so powerful? "
"A descendant of a divine beast? How could it be! That's a legendary existence. Even in the Demon Mountain Range, there are no divine beasts, right?
"Li Shijie and Zhou Botong dared to murder Wuxin and rebel? They are courting death! Father, I plead to support my second brother and third brother. I will definitely kill Li Shijie and Zhou Botong, the two traitors, with my own hands. Please approve! "
Hearing Zhangsun Wudi's words, Zhangsun Youming was shocked. He kept exclaiming and roaring. Finally, with a murderous look, he asked to support Zhangsun Youye and the others.
"Is that bumpkin so powerful? Isn't it a little exaggerated?"
Zhangsun Wuwo and Zhangsun Wuqing paid more attention to Xiao Chen regarding the news of Li Shijie and Zhou Botong's rebellion. They did not believe that Xiao Chen could kill Zhangsun Changying. They thought that Zhangsun Changying should have been plotted against and then died in the hands of Xiao Chen.
