Chapter 407: The Eight Great Families Arrived
It seems that everything has been arranged, the helicopter that Qin Jue and the others were riding landed directly at the headquarters of the Dragon Hall, perhaps hearing that Qin Jue had returned, it became extremely lively here, all the members of the Dragon Hall who were still in the country had already gathered, and even the Dragon War and Dragon God groups who were far away in Europe had rushed back, but they had not yet arrived, and they were still on the plane.
Qin Jue disappeared for a year, and for this year, they were looking for Qin Jue's whereabouts all the time, and finally he came back safe and sound today. Not only that, his current state is obviously much better, and the battle with Xuanyuan Zhen also proves that his strength has become more terrifying now.
When he was still on the way, Qin Jue received a remittance from Old Ivan, which didn't seem to make him feel happy, according to his plan, at least he would have to empty all the savings of the entire battle axe, and now this amount did make him a little disappointed.
Gao Yue and Phoenix came out early to greet them, and after a year of separation, they were all excited to see Qin Jue again, and while they were happy, they also told Qin Jue a bad news.
Perhaps it was because of the battle between the Holy Hall and Qin Jue this time, which had a very bad impact, and now there was news from Zhu Lao's side that the Holy Hall and the Dragon Hall were about to face a reorganization and carry out a major blood exchange. In addition, the patriarchs of the Eight Hidden Sects also gathered, and it seemed that they had great plans.
After learning these news, Qin Jue's premonition was very bad, the helmsmen of the Eight Hidden Sects came out, presumably related to this incident, and the news of Qin Jue's battle with Xuanyuan Zhen may have already spread, before Qin Jue injured the people in the Holy Hall, and also killed two people by mistake, so the arrival of these hidden families has some meaning of liquidation.
"It seems that this line of work is destined to be unpeaceful. Qin Jue frowned, and led everyone directly into the headquarters of the Dragon Hall. The members of the Dragon Hall there were all anxiously waiting, and none other eagerly among them was Xuanwu. After he got the news, he rushed over as soon as possible, so that when the Longque team arrived at Shenhai, there was no one who saw him at all, so he had to hand over Zhang Deyun to Bai Qizhu, and then hurried back to Jinghua.
Seeing everyone coming from afar, Xuanwu couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him.
"Boss, you are really still alive, this year, you can make it easy for the brothers to find!" Xuanwu stepped forward and hugged Xuanwu, grinning.
All the people came together and hugged each other in a big circle.
"You guys are too bad, don't you want to eat my mother's tofu when you take the opportunity?" Gao Yue finally walked out of the sea of people and scolded at a group of people.
Her words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.
At this time, the empress also entered the office and took out Qin Jue's short knife and long sword and handed them to him.
"It's your stuff, I've kept it for a year, and now that you're back, it's time to hand it over to you. β
Qin Jue nodded, put away the short knife and long sword, smiled slightly at everyone, and took out a yellowed book from his body and handed it to the empress.
"This is the Winged King Fist Sutra, what is recorded in it is a cultivation method of internal strength, I will hand it over to you, from today onwards, the members of the Dragon Hall will practice the art of vomiting, and strive to practice internal strength as soon as possible. β
This set of fists has taken Qin Jue more than a year to master, and he has completely mastered it, although his internal strength has not yet been cultivated to the extreme, but with his speed and skill, it can be regarded as very terrifying. Now his combat power is even more terrifying, and he is not ready to try his hand at these people in the Dragon Hall. After all, the power of the internal strength shot is too great, it is easy to cause accidental injury, and he also has a hunch, this time I am afraid that he has committed some taboos, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will leave completely.
After a while, someone came over to inform Qin Jue to go to the meeting, and the person who came over was very unusual, it turned out to be Xue Lao, and he personally came forward to call, obviously this meeting was not simple.
Qin Jue naturally had no reason to refuse, and left with Xue Lao. He could see that Xue Lao's face was obviously a little heavy, as if there had been a big change.
"Stinky boy, we are all very happy that you can come back, but in Moscow you have done this play, it is indeed too much, and we old men have also been trapped. Alas...... , I'm afraid even we won't be spared this time, but Lao Tzu has to advise you, just accept it when you see it, and endure it for a while!" Xue Lao admonished, and it could be seen that he was still very concerned about Qin Jue.
"Why don't you take a step back and open the sky? Or Lao Tzu will simply retreat to the end and go back to retire in advance, is it okay? It looks like Lao Tzu is very willing to do this job!" snorted coldly, Qin Jue's face was full of resentment.
"Hehe, this road has always been born in, dead out, how can it be so easy to run, you are still young, when you reach my age, slowly you will find that you are more and more reluctant to leave. Xue Lao chuckled and shook his head helplessly.
In front of the conference room, I saw two bodyguards standing there in the distance. Seeing the two of them coming, he immediately stepped forward to stop them.
"I'm sorry, we have to check first!"
Frowning, Qin Jue's eyes were slightly cold.
"Check what? Do you know me, or do you not know him?"
"Uh...... I'm sorry, we just did what we were told, Emperor, please don't embarrass us. The corners of the man's mouth twitched, and his face was a little ugly, the person in front of him was a well-known killing god, if it wasn't for the strict order, they would definitely not dare to block his driving.
"Do you want to get off the horse? Lao Tzu doesn't care, don't say that Lao Tzu doesn't take care of you two little guys, I only have a set of silver needles, a short knife and this long sword, if I want to make a move, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop me, is it possible that you are ready to let me go in with handcuffs and shackles?" Qin Jue chuckled, and there seemed to be a chill on his face.
"Uh...... , I'm sorry, please come in!" As he spoke, the two bodyguards gave way, and there was no intention of checking again.
"Alas......" sighed helplessly, Xue Lao pushed the door and led Qin Jue in.
"Report, Qin Jue...... He's coming. β
"The Emperor has arrived, great, come in and sit next to me. The last time I said goodbye in a hurry, it was six or seven years ago, when you set off for Europe and were ordered to arrest Adams, and I came to see you off, but I didn't expect to come back with bad news about you, and I was sad for a long time.
I'm thrilled that you're back five years later. After many years, the emperor is still the emperor, with an invincible attitude, opening a prosperous generation, it is really extraordinary, it seems that these years have really suffered you, young and prosperous, it is really distressing. The old man's face was full of kindness, and he smiled at Qin Jue.
Seeing this person, Qin Jue was also a little surprised. He remembered the last time he said goodbye, the old man gave him sixteen words, which he still remembers vividly.
"A general to the west, fight through thorns and thorns, towering China, the ...... of the Shengshi Dragon Hall"
I didn't expect the impact of this incident to be so great, even he was shocked, and Qin Jue felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Seeing that Qin Jue was a little hesitant, Zhu Lao, who was sitting below the old man, laughed softly: "Qin Jue, Elder Sheng is here to discuss this incident with us, since he invites him, you can sit down." There will be a few more guests coming, so let's discuss it together. β
Qin Jue nodded, slowly walked over and sat down. He glanced at it, and there were a group of big guys here, even Xue Lao and Zhou Lao could only sit at the end, but he was sitting on the left hand side of Sheng Lao, which showed that he was being raised. Below him, there were eight seats, and it seemed that these eight people had not arrived.
As smart as Qin Jue, he immediately realized the problem, since it was to discuss the handling of this incident, how could it be that no one from the Holy Hall participated. Although Zhou Lao is nominally the person in charge of the Holy Hall, in fact, the autonomy of the Holy Hall is not inferior to that of the Dragon Hall, and with Zhou Lao's ability, he may not be able to lead them, so the remaining eight seats are obviously the seats of the Holy Hall, and those who have the ability to sit with these people must be the patriarchs of the Eight Hidden Families. Thinking of this, everything has become clear, and the patriarchs of the eight major families have gathered together, I am afraid that this is what it is.
Sure enough, after a while, the bodyguards outside announced that they had arrived, and Elder Sheng personally stood up to welcome them, and Elder Zhou also politely led everyone to their seats.
The head of the eight great families is Xuanyuan Zhen of the Xuanyuan family, and in the battle with Qin Jue, he was not lightly injured, and now he looks a little weak, with a pale face and a weak step, it seems that the situation is really not optimistic. Under him, Liu Yuanen, the patriarch of the Liu family, is also the eldest brother of Liu Yuanheng, the head of Cuiping Mountain, and then the female head of the Onmyoji Qianlong family, and then the patriarch of the Xu family, Xu Maotian, followed by Nangong Wei and Wenren Kun of the ancient martial arts family, and the last is Qiu Daolin of the Qiu family and Ge Tenglong of the Ge family.
The eight major families are all here, this power is indeed not to be underestimated, Qin Jue's face is not slightly gloomy, he can see that the patriarchs of these families are all people with great internal strength, if it is just a competition for internal strength, he is far from being an opponent. But Sheng Lao just asked him to sit in a row with them, and this arrangement couldn't help but make people think too much.
Sure enough, as soon as Xuanyuan Zhen saw Qin Jue, his face changed slightly.
"Boy, aren't you slow to recover? It's just half a day to be able to move freely, it's really not easy? It's really rare for a young man to have such a physique!"
Qin Jue smiled slightly, and said coldly: "I originally thought that you would have to lie down for at least two days before you can stand up, old man, it is even more rare to have such energy." β
The conversation between the two is very interesting, one says that the other is in good health, and the implication is that with his direct physique, he can do everything without taboo and cause trouble everywhere;
When everyone sat down, Sheng Lao, who was sitting in the first place, also smiled slightly: "Okay, since everyone has arrived, then let's start below, everyone knows that our style has always been to speak freely, this time we will make it clear, discuss it thoroughly, and the matter will be solved, so ah, everyone should not have any taboos, you can say it, but before that, we also ask Zhu Lao to do an investigation report on the incident, if you think it is untrue, you can put it forward, okay, you can start." β
Zhu Lao nodded, stood up, and said to everyone.
"Everyone knows that the impact of this incident is extremely bad, and the outside world has been rumored again and again, this is the infighting between our Holy Hall and the Dragon Hall, to be precise, the infighting between the Holy Hall and the Emperor, here I want to explain, after investigation, we found that all this is just a misunderstanding.
The Holy Hall received the order to exterminate the Tomahawk Organization, and when they were on a mission, they chose to be silent and cut off all contact with the outside world, and Zhou Lao, who was in charge of contacting them, misjudged the situation and thought that they were all killed, so he asked the Empress to lead two groups of members of the Dragon Hall to participate in the rescue.
At this time, the emperor had some problems because of the mad demon's mission, and after successfully killing the mad demon, he lost contact with us, and after we confirmed, he was seriously injured, and he was able to recover after a year of cultivation, and this time, he was also transferred to Moscow to prepare to return, so after getting our news, the emperor launched an investigation of the battle axe, preparing to investigate the movements of the members of the Holy Hall.
In this way, both sides encountered in the confrontation with the Tomahawk, and mistakenly thought that the other party was the Tomahawk person, so this was a big fight, so this incident, on the whole, this was a pure misunderstanding, as for the sacrifice of the two members of the Holy Hall and the injury of most of the members, as well as the impact of the outside misinformation on the reputation of the two families, Zhou Lao and I should bear great responsibility, so I asked to resign and wait for processing. There has been a problem with our coordination and cooperation, which is something that we should review. After speaking, Old Man Zhu sighed and sat down.
After listening to Zhu Lao's words, everyone's faces were very strange, especially Qin Jue, Zhu Lao's report was complete, and none of them were true, this time it was clear that the Holy Hall and the Tomahawk were conspiring to plot against him in the Dragon Hall, if he hadn't happened to break into the trap, I am afraid that the people and horses brought by the empress would have suffered heavy losses now. However, he also understood that this was the result of the game and confrontation between the parties, so he didn't say anything, just glanced coldly at the patriarch of the eight great families and smiled coldly.
Surprisingly, no one from the Eight Great Families put forward any opinions, if they were still in the dark at the beginning, they are already in the dark now, what is this matter, their hearts are like a mirror, Zhu Lao's report is still somewhat biased towards them, how can they not appreciate it.
"Since everyone has no opinion on this report, let's draw conclusions based on this!" Sheng Lao smiled and patted Qin Jue's shoulder lightly.
"Elder Zhu also said just now, this is a misunderstanding, it is the cooperation between the Holy Hall and the Dragon Hall that has gone wrong, so let's discuss it now, what is the problem? We should prevent this problem, otherwise, this time it is the Holy Hall that is damaged, and the next time it is damaged, it may be the Dragon Hall, so if the vicious circle continues, I am afraid that the tricks of Qin Jue and the Xuanyuan Patriarch will evolve into a vendetta of life and death in the end, so this problem is still very urgent, the Dragon Hall has been developing for more than ten years, whether it is coordination and management, or the success rate of the implementation of the task is impeccable, so the Dragon Hall is a template, we can use this to adjust the arrangement of the Holy Hall, of course, the Dragon Hall is not absolutely immobile, but the distribution of members does not changeγ
In comparison, the Holy Hall is indeed lacking in this regard, this may be because Old Zhou is old, and he is somewhat unable to hold such an important position, so I plan to exchange blood for the Holy Hall, if you have any proposals, you can put it forward, whether it is a hidden family or a family, are we all a family? So we fully respect your opinions, let's discuss it together!"
Hearing Elder Sheng's words, Qin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that in the conclusion of the incident, the Dragon Hall had suffered a loss, but in the later processing, the Dragon Hall clearly took the initiative, and the mode of the Dragon Hall remained unchanged, as for himself, it was not so important.
"What Elder Sheng said just now is very right, I am indeed old, and the management of the Holy Hall is indeed a little weak, thinking of the development trajectory of the Dragon Hall, I suggest appointing Qin Jue to take over this task, I believe that under his management, the coordination between the Holy Hall and the Dragon Hall will inevitably improve a lot. Zhou Lao stood up and took the lead in speaking.
His face was a little ugly, and what he said was a little indescribable.
Qin Jue frowned, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he scolded in his heart: "Old thing, you really know how to get off the donkey......"
