C9 The Crisis Behind the Birthday Feast(2)

Hearing this, the Li family's head immediately became unhappy and said with a face full of displeasure, "You can get engaged at such a young age first. When you are older, you can get married again. You brat, you push three to four. Tell me, how can my Yanran not be good enough for you?"

Duanmu Kuang sat in his seat without saying a word, and his face was resolute. He would never agree to this matter. Not to mention that he was wholeheartedly seeking martial arts, he did not have the intention to become a family for the time being. Even if it was the obstacle in his heart, he wouldn't be able to overcome it.

Because he did not like Li Yanran. To put it bluntly, he did not have any feelings for her. How could he marry a woman who had no feelings for her?

"Mr Duanmu, such a beautiful day, do you want to say a few words to the guests who came to congratulate you?" Seeing that the atmosphere had turned cold, the Chen Family's Master hurriedly said this and acted as the vanguard to save the situation.

"Hehe... Then this old man will nag a few words." Although Duanmu Ying was very satisfied with Li Yanran, it was not good to force his own grandson to be so persistent. Patriarch Chen's words just gave him a way out. He does not need to offend Patriarch Li to death.

The old man went down the slope and stood up with a cup raised. He cupped his hands and said loudly to the people below, "Everyone, today is my humble birthday. Thank you for coming to congratulate me. I am very grateful. This cup is for everyone. I will toast you first. Please do as you wish. "

His voice was loud and clear, resounding throughout the entire hall. After he finished speaking, Duanmu Ying raised his head and drank the entire cup in one gulp. Not a single drop flowed out from the mouth of the cup.

"Do it!"

"Let's do it!"

"To the old man!"

The guests' reactions were fierce, and they all raised their glasses. The old man was not only peaceful, but he was also the only Xiantian realm martial artist in the town. Who would dare to disrespect him?

At this time, in a dense forest outside Nanling Town, there were a few men in black with their faces covered, and they were having a secret conversation. The leader of the group said, "Number One, how's the investigation going?"

"Leader, we've found out everything. After we've asked around, we've found out everything. The Duanmu family in this small town, on a certain night fifteen years ago. There was indeed an anomaly. I heard that there was a blood cloud hovering above the Duanmu family that night. It has been a long time. This has already been approved by the local Chamber of Commerce. There will definitely be no mistakes. " One of them replied.

"Hm, it seems like it won't be wrong."

The masked man called the leader paused for a moment before he continued, "All of you return to the town first and pass on my order. The people hiding in the town stay put for now. Tonight, we will make a move at midnight. We will massacre the Duanmu family, not a single one of them will be left alive. This matter is of utmost importance, no mistakes must be made."

" Yes. "The rest of them received the order, quickly changed into casual clothes, walked out of the dense forest, and headed towards the town.

When they were far away, the masked man called the leader muttered, "It's been fifteen years, I've been looking for it for fifteen years, and now I've finally found it"

Fifteen years ago, when the national Divine Beast fell, the official of this dynasty calculated that the blood star would descend from the sky to the south, and that it would bring chaos to this dynasty.

The leader had never imagined that this blood star would actually come from such a small clan in Desolate Border Town. This made him sigh involuntarily. "It seems like the rumors about Marquis Zhennan being the blood star that has never appeared in the dynasty for ten thousand years are true. This matter couldn't be trusted at all. As for saying that Marquis Zhennan would definitely launch a rebellion in the future... This rumor is even more baseless. "

Marquis Zhennan's clan had been loyal for generations, guarding the south for a hundred thousand years. During this period of time, they have repelled the invasion of the foreign races many times, raising the prestige of our Human Clan. It could be said that they had contributed a lot, and had contributed a lot in both internal and external matters. Their clan had been deeply indebted to the emperor for generations. They had the highest status of human rights.

However, ever since the Imperial Protector's Divine Beast, Dragon Turtle, had died, rumors and rumors had appeared in the Imperial Court. They were all directed at Marquis Zhennan. Needless to say, anyone with discerning eyes could tell with a single glance that these rumors were all caused by the jealous villains in the Imperial Court. This was a method used by those people to attack dissidents, and they wanted to pull Marquis Zhennan down from his horse.

"Sigh, those people didn't even think about it. If we lose Marquis Zhennan, this bridgehead, then... My direction to the south will be in imminent danger, and I will be under the blade of the alien race at any time. Fortunately, the current Human Sovereign Realm warrior was wise and mighty, and he wouldn't be provoked by these vile people. The news of finding the Blood Star must be sent back as soon as possible."

Thinking of this, the leader carefully took out the acoustic jade and sent out the news. As the name suggested, the acoustic jade was a kind of tool that could transmit messages from a long distance. It was made by an array master.

It was divided into four levels, Heaven Grade and Earth Grade. Black Grade acoustic jade, Yellow Level acoustic jade, and the most precious Heaven Grade acoustic jade. Of course, Heaven Grade acoustic jade was only a legendary holy item. The other acoustic jade were Earth, Black, and Yellow Grade. The acoustic jade was further divided into four colors according to its rank. Purple, blue, and yellow. The Heaven Grade was purple. The Earth Grade was red, the Black Grade was blue, and the Yellow Level was yellow.

The distance between each level of the acoustic jade was different. For example, if the transmission range of a Yellow Level's acoustic jade was a hundred thousand miles, then if the receiver was more than a hundred thousand miles away, then... The receiver would not be able to send out the message.

Looking at the red acoustic jade in the leader's hand, one could tell that it was a super long-distance teleportation. And the legendary Heaven Grade acoustic jade was said to be able to be transmitted to any corner of the continent.

"Duanmu family, Duanmu family. The surname Duanmu is truly a coincidence. Marquis Zhennan's family also has the surname Duanmu."

The leader muttered to himself after sending the message. Then, his eyes turned cold. However, after tonight, the source of all the chaos will disappear from the world. Our Heavenly Star Dynasty will definitely be eternal, killing all of you commoners is not our intention. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your bad luck. For the sake of the dynasty's foundation for tens of thousands of generations, everyone must die."

In the Duanmu Residence, the singers sang and danced. The guests toasted and exchanged cups. It could be said that the guests and the host were all happy, and they knew nothing about the impending crisis.
