193: conspiracy

In the great hall of the Beichen Family, there was an eerie silence.

"How is this possible!"

"The Jian Family, Wang Family, Ye Family, Gongyang Family, and over a dozen other families loyal to us are all dead!"

"Even Jian Tianming, the Old Ancestor of the Jian Family, who was an Emperor Realm expert, died!"

Northern Star Yuan Yi's gloomy voice rang out.

Recently, forces loyal to the Beichen Family have been annihilated one after another, and among them were even many Heavenly King Realm experts!

And their combined forces of the Beichen Family and the Ancient Clan, after one beheading operation after another, finally became hesitant.

Because every time a family rushed to the forefront, the force most eager to show loyalty to the Beichen Family would completely disappear on the battlefield!

Beichen Shou looked at the panic-stricken crowd below and finally spoke.

"Originally, we underestimated the Xiao Family. It seems the Xiao Family's foundation is deeper than we imagined, and their methods are even more insidious."

"In this situation, it must be that the Xiao Family sent out an Emperor Realm expert, and it's very likely an Emperor Realm expert who is extremely skilled in speed, stealth, and assassination..."

"We cannot sit by and wait for death!"

Immediately, Beichen Shou narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Based on the information we've received, the person who made the move is likely at the Emperor Realm Middle Stage. If he has the chance in the future, he will definitely strike again. We can set up a net in advance and wait for him to deliver himself to us!"

"Yuan Ding, Yuan Kun, Ancient Heaven, Ancient Li, the four of you go together. Conceal your cultivation and ambush that person!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Four figures stepped forward simultaneously and responded.

Beichen Yuanding and Beichen Yuankun are both top experts of the Beichen Family, and also the cousins of Beichen Family Leader Northern Star Yuan Yi. Their cultivations are Emperor Realm Sixth Stage and Emperor Realm Fifth Stage respectively, making them the core of the Beichen Family's core!

And Ancient Heaven and Ancient Li are top experts from the Ancient Clan, with cultivations of Emperor Realm Fourth Stage and Emperor Realm Third Stage respectively!

A total of four Emperor Realm experts attacking together in an ambush was to kill the Xiao Family's Emperor Realm expert skilled in assassination!

As long as that person is killed, all previous losses are nothing!

An Emperor Realm Middle Stage expert skilled in beheading and large-scale slaughter is more important than all the people lost previously!

However, just after the four experts left, Beichen Shou's immense aura suddenly enveloped the entire hall.

With a Half-Step Supreme making a move, everyone present felt unprecedented pressure.

Beichen Shou's gaze swept over the crowd. Everyone felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by him, as if being scrutinized, and thus all lowered their heads.

"Everyone..."

Beichen Shou suddenly spoke.

"It's not that this old man doesn't trust you all, but the events of the previous period were indeed a bit too strange. For this period, you will stay here and cultivate. All resources will be provided by my Beichen Family. Once those four return victorious, I will let you leave!"

Many experts present looked solemn, instantly understanding Beichen Shou's meaning.

He was suspecting that there were internal spies among these people reporting to the Xiao Family and the Nangong Family!

However, it was not surprising that Beichen Shou would be suspicious.

Ever since the Beichen Family began to contend with the Xiao Family, the Beichen Family, which should have been crushing them, had not won a single time at critical moments!

From the Eastern Family incident where several Heavenly Kings were beheaded, to the Xiao Family's swift reinforcement of the Nangong Family, and now to the complete annihilation of their Beichen Family's affiliated forces one after another!

This made him have to suspect whether there was an internal spy who had leaked the information in advance!

Thinking of this, many experts sat down cross-legged one after another.

Now, they only needed to quietly wait for news from the Beichen Family and the Ancient Clan...

As for whether it would succeed, no one present had the slightest doubt.

With four Emperor Realm experts attacking simultaneously, including three Emperor Realm Middle Stage, such a configuration, unless Xiao Clan Leader Xiao Qian personally made a move, it would certainly be impossible to escape!

... ...

At this time, within the Xiao Family.

Southern Palace Yan's face was slightly flushed, and her body beneath the silver soft armor appeared extremely unnatural.

During this time, she had already learned of the war situation, knowing that the Beichen Family had suffered great losses and the Nangong Family's situation had improved significantly, so she had resumed cultivation.

In these few months, she had finally thoroughly comprehended and learned the second cultivation technique Mu Wuchen had given her!

However, this time it also stopped abruptly at a crucial point!

It was like it just stopped after the last few strokes, that feeling...

It made her feel completely uncomfortable!

Ultimately, she still couldn't resist the temptation and awkwardly came before Mu Wuchen.

"Uncle Mu..."

"I..."

"I still want to..."

She was a proud woman. Before meeting Mu Wuchen, she had never imagined she would make such an expression or say such words.

But the cultivation technique Mu Wuchen gave her was truly too miraculous.

She felt that as long as she completed that set of cultivation techniques, she would definitely be able to crush her brother Nangong Hao, who had similar talent to her!

She might even be able to crush her father in the future!

Such a temptation is fatal to a cultivator...

Perhaps if such an olive branch were extended, many people would be willing to kneel and serve as oxen and horses every day.

And now, she only needed to ask her Uncle Mu.

Moreover, after spending this time together, she discovered...

Her Uncle Mu was quite doting on her...

Every time she encountered something she didn't understand in her cultivation, Mu Wuchen would patiently answer her questions, and even tell her some highly efficient cultivation methods she had never heard of, which caused her realm to break through a level, from Heaven-Man Fifth Stage to Heaven-Man Sixth Stage!

Southern Palace Yan felt that her current strength seemed to have completely surpassed Nangong Hao!

Therefore, after this period of time, Southern Palace Yan completely trusted Mu Wuchen, and even faintly developed a sense of reliance on him...

Mu Wuchen smiled as he looked at the woman in white soft armor before him and spoke lightly.

"Southern Palace Yan, you must think carefully. The last part of that cultivation technique is now in another place, and entering that place means you will be my person. You won't be able to escape later..."

Southern Palace Yan was startled. She hadn't quite understood what Mu Wuchen meant by "be my person," thinking Mu Wuchen was referring to the relationship between the Nangong Family and the Xiao Family...

She pondered for a moment and made her decision, nodding towards Mu Wuchen.

Anyway, in the current situation, the Nangong Family would certainly not betray the Xiao Family!

"Good!"

Seeing her agree, Mu Wuchen also nodded in satisfaction.

He waved his hand, and Southern Palace Yan disappeared from her spot, taken into the System World...

The little silly girl Southern Palace Yan was thus "tricked" by Mu Wuchen onto Mu Wuchen's pirate ship...
