Chapter 39: The Mysterious Five Elements
Jianghai City, suburb.
In a mysterious villa, several young people sat in the living room, discussing important matters with an indifferent expression.
This villa is very remote, if you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid no one will believe that in this place, there will be such a luxurious villa.
Of course, Xiao Wanlong knew about this villa.
Because, several young people in the villa are the masters of the Five Elements who have become famous in the domestic martial arts circles in recent years.
Speaking of which, no one knows their real names, only that everyone is named after the five elements, and their strength is even more unfathomable, and even many masters of the older generation may not be the opponents of the five elements.
In just a few years, the Five Elements have already made a great reputation.
However, Xiao Wanlong is inextricably linked with the Five Elements, and it can be said that the Five Elements are actually the deepest heritage behind the Xiao family.
The five elements, passed down from generation to generation, exist to protect the Xiao family.
It's just that this secret, after getting rid of each Xiao family head, is qualified to know, even if he is the future heir, he must be told this secret when he succeeds the head of the family.
It can be said that the five elements are the patron saints of the Xiao family.
It is precisely because of this that the Xiao family was able to stand in Jianghai City for a hundred years without falling, but surviving for a long time.
Of course, the five elements also have the right to choose whether to continue to assist the next head of the Xiao family, and every time the head of the family inherits, the new head of the family will be investigated.
And this time, the person responsible for inspecting Xiao Yunfei is Xiao Huo, who is the fourth oldest in the Five Elements.
"Xiao Huo, you have already met Xiao Yunfei, do you think he is qualified to become the head of the Xiao family?" one of the young men, with a stern look, looked at Xiao Huo, the only person who had seen Xiao Yunfei, and asked.
He is the boss of the Five Elements - Xiao Jin.
The other three brothers also set their eyes on Xiao Huo's body for the first time.
In fact, it didn't take long for them to take over the responsibility of the Five Elements, that is, the turmoil of the Xiao family more than 20 years ago, or the previous generation of Five Elements assisted Xiao Wanlong to solve it.
However, the fact that they can become the five elements of the Xiao family is enough to show that in their hearts, they have a very high loyalty to the Xiao family.
Of course, it is undeniable that they also have their own selfish intentions, but such a premise is established when the Xiao family has no qualified heir.
This is also the ancestral rule of the Xiao family in the past dynasties, whenever there is a fault between the children of the Xiao family, the five elements of the Xiao family can take over the Xiao family, and then hand over the rights until the Xiao family has a real talent.
And this kind of thing has also happened in the history of the Xiao family.
The five elements of the Xiao family have never violated such rules.
People only have a lifespan of a hundred years, even if they die, they can't take away all their wealth, and naturally they won't violate the ancestral rules before they die, leaving a lifetime of infamy.
The main reason why there are such rules is that the five elements of each generation will inevitably be talents among talents, which are involved in all industries, which can ensure the long-term prosperity of the Xiao family.
At this time, the new Five Elements naturally also have their own ideas.
"He's very good, and I think I can safely help him behind the scenes. Xiao Huo didn't have any prejudice, and directly said the truest thoughts in his heart.
"Before meeting him, I also investigated his experience, in the Middle East, he is a cold-blooded demon king known in the mercenary world, and his strength is probably not weaker than ours. ”
"After returning to the Xiao family, all kinds of methods of dealing with it have won my heart, even if it were me, he might not be able to handle it better. ”
Cold-Blooded Demon King!
As soon as this name came out, the faces of several other people changed slightly.
Although he is only the guardian of the Xiao family, for many years, the five elements of each generation have been hidden behind the scenes, and naturally there is a huge force.
The intelligence system, in particular, is the best.
Any famous person in the world will be included in their attention, because anyone may pose a threat to the Xiao family.
This is the responsibility of the five elements, and we must keep all possible hidden dangers in our hands.
Of course, they won't pay attention to such a small fight as the Bai family.
The Bai family, although they have a certain reputation in Jianghai City, compared to the entire Xiao family, the gap is not a star and a half, as long as they are willing to make a move, they can solve it at any time.
It's just that the ancestral rules are strict, and it is necessary to leave some hostile forces behind, so that the children of the Xiao family can be cultivated, so as not to lose their heart of distress.
Therefore, even if the Bai family has been targeting the Xiao family all along, the Five Elements have never made a move.
Compared to this time, the threat of the Xu family is that the five elements are secretly exerting force.
Otherwise, how could it be said that the Xu family was a family in the capital, and how could they be suppressed by the Xiao family? In the end, Xu Fei was forcibly summoned back.
The cold-blooded demon king, as the king of mercenaries, has no opponents in the Middle East, and even the boss of the devil mercenary group where he is located does not dare to offend in the slightest.
Such a character will naturally carry out the sight of the five elements.
Now hearing Xiao Yunfei's true identity, it is no wonder that the other four people are so shocked, in fact, Xiao Huo was also very shocked when he got this information.
"In that case, let's wait for this competition to pass and gradually get in touch with Xiao Yunfei. Xiao Jin hesitated for a moment before making a final decision.
"Yes. ”
"Since it is a cold-blooded demon king, it must not be too much of a problem to deal with this competition, and it can be used as a test. ”
"That's right, we can also be relaxed, too lazy to do it. ”
In a moment, Xiao Jin's proposal was agreed to by the others.
Originally, the Five Elements planned to directly attack as the Xiao family when Xiao Wanlong was defeated, so as to ensure that this competition would be able to achieve the final victory.
After all, once defeated, it will have a great impact on the Xiao family, and even if they make a move later, it is difficult to guarantee that the Xiao family will not suffer losses.
"Since the brothers have agreed, then it has been decided, and the matter of contact with Xiao Yunfei afterwards should be handled by Xiaohuo. Xiao Jin nodded slightly, he also had the same mind as several brothers, trying the strength of the cold-blooded demon king, after all, the person who replaced the Bai family this time was not simple, it was a blood Shura with the same name as the cold-blooded demon king.
"Of course, if Xiao Wanlong doesn't pass on the throne, you still don't act rashly for the time being, we can't break the ancestral rules. ”
"Big brother, don't worry, I know what to do. Xiao Huo nodded lightly and took over the task.
For the Cold-Blooded Demon King, he was still very curious.
Otherwise, when I saw Xiao Yunfei at that time, when I left the Xiao family's old mansion, I would not have left a word of looking forward to fighting Xiao Yunfei.
"Xiaoshui, you have to pay attention to the movements in the capital, I'm worried that the Xu family may have any moves. Xiao Jin did not forget his duty, and after a little thought, he said to Xiao Shuidao.
"Humph!"
Xiao Shui was obviously very disdainful of the Xu family, snorted coldly, and said, "If the Xu family dares to make a move, when the time comes, I will let them know that it is powerful and pay a painful price." ”
"Well, let's disperse then. ”
Xiao Jin waved his hand, took the lead in getting up, and walked towards the outside of the villa.
The other people did not hesitate, each had a division of labor, and began to deal with their own affairs.
Only Xiao Huo left the villa alone and headed in the direction of the city.
Although, the result of the discussion just now was that the competition between Xiao and Bai would not make a move, the premise was that Xiao Yunfei could handle this matter.
If Xiao Yunfei was defeated by Blood Shura in the end, resulting in the defeat of the Xiao family, then he had to act as the Xiao family.
This competition is related to the future of the Xiao family, and no mistakes are allowed.
This is also the task that Xiao Jin attached to after handing over the task of contacting Xiao Yunfei to him.
…………
Three days have passed quickly.
Xiao Wanlong went out for the first time in more than a year, and went to the Xiao Martial Arts Hall with Xiao Yunfei and others.
This competition has already spread throughout Jianghai City.
Many people will come to watch the battle, and at the same time, as a notary, the Xiao family, as the host, naturally can't be late, and they also need to show enough etiquette.
As for the referees invited by Xiao Wanlong, they had already agreed, and they had made an appointment to go to the Xiao Martial Arts Hall together on the same day.
At such an important moment, among the children of the Xiao family, only a few of Xiao Wanlong's disciples followed after getting rid of the owner of the Xiao Clan's Martial Arts Hall.
In the competition, only the most important people need to make a move, and the rest of the ordinary children, even if they play, will not have much effect.
Along the way, Xiao Wanlong closed his eyes tightly and refreshed slightly.
In the past three days, Xiao Wanlong has been recuperating, hoping that this battle will not have too much impact on him.
After all, he hasn't made a move for many years, and he doesn't know that his strength can still be brought into play in the case of a seriously ill body.
And Xiao Yunfei, sitting next to him, did not disturb Xiao Wanlong.
Half an hour later, the car slowly stopped at the door of the Xiao Martial Arts Hall, and at a glance, I could see many luxury cars that were usually difficult to see parked at the door.
Obviously, there were already quite a few people watching the battle who arrived early.
At the moment when the car stopped, Xiao Wanlong's eyes suddenly opened, flashed a sensitive light, opened the car door, and whispered to Xiao Yunfei: "Let's go in." ”
As the words fell, a strong momentum erupted from his body, enveloping the entire car, making the children of the Xiao family driving in front of him a little unbearable.
Immediately, Xiao Yunfei and his son got out of the car together and walked towards the martial arts hall.
Entering the martial arts hall, you can hear some chattering voices from a distance.
"This competition between the Xiao and Bai families is probably the biggest thing for Jiang Hai in many years, right?"
"Which one do you like?"
"I still value the Xiao family, after all, it has many years of heritage, and it is Xiao Wanlong who personally took action, what kind of character Xiao Wanlong is, isn't it clear?"
"Yes, I am also optimistic about the Xiao family, the Bai family has risen too fast and has insufficient background, I am afraid that no one will be Xiao Wanlong's opponent. ”
"Don't you know that Xiao Wanlong won't live long, he hasn't made a move for so many years, and his strength can still be maintained for a few points? I'm optimistic about the Bai family, although he has frequently lost in the hands of the Xiao family recently, he still can't be underestimated, maybe there will be a biggest dark horse?"
