Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Hidden Crisis

When the sun sets, there are many clouds in the sky, and the sky is dyed deep red, like a magnificent red ocean, which is really a beautiful spectacle.

The restaurant is noisy and lively. The occasional waft of the smell of food makes people linger, the cries of small vendors come and go, and the side streets are full of passers-by. Since the last mutated Bone Wolf was eliminated, Tianxiang City has gradually returned to its former tranquility and prosperity.

"Brother Ye, we haven't been together like this for a long time, and I haven't seen you since you decided to go out to see the outside world a few years ago, and I don't know who to drink this wine to. Come on, let's have a few drinks of it today, and make up for what you missed before."

Xu Pingqing filled the wine glasses placed in front of him again, then raised his hands and smiled at Ye Feng, then raised his head and drank it all

"Okay, then let's have a drink today"

Ye Feng also smiled and picked up the wine glass and drank all the wine in the glass in one go

"Hahaha, rejoice. Since becoming the patriarch of the family, he has been sad about the family's big and small things. Brother Ye, tell me about the latest information you investigated."

After getting up and pouring the wine in the cup for Ye Feng, who was sitting opposite, Xu Pingqing slowly sat down and said

It is rare, Ye Feng, who usually has a smile on his face, was instantly smeared with a sense of solemnity on his face that was still smiling just now after hearing this, and he was silent for a long time without answering Xu Pingqing's question, and even a trace of panic could be seen from his gloomy eyes

Feeling the sudden depression of the atmosphere, a sense of solemnity also appeared on Xu Pingqing's face, and what he was going to say next might be extremely serious

"Tell me, whatever the next thing is going to be, we have to accept it, even if it's not what we like."

Nodding sullenly, Ye Feng smiled bitterly: "Two days ago, the spies I arranged in various parts of the city suddenly reported to me a piece of news, the Xiao family began to rapidly recruit escort teams for some reason, and all the strength of those new escort teams was above the strength of the seventh-grade battle masters, and even the leaders of the team were all strong at the level of war spirits, which can be said to be far beyond the combat effectiveness of the guards in our other three major families." ”

"Is that a little worrying for you? if that's the case, you can expand your team of guards who are stronger than him, but it will cost you more money. But does this have anything to do with the previous events?"

Xu Pingqing relaxed after hearing this, picked up the wine glass leisurely, shook it gently, looked at the wine that was constantly shaking in the glass, and said disapprovingly

"The point is that I personally lurked to investigate, and found that there was something strange about his new escort personnel, and I felt ...... It's not quite like the breath of normal people like us. The look on Ye Feng's face became a little unnatural, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking

The right hand shaking the wine glass suddenly stopped, Xu Pingqing's eyes were firmly fixed on Ye Feng, who was sitting opposite him, and the expression on his face began to become serious, and said, "Do you want to say that there is an unknown force behind the Xiao family hiding in the dark and silently manipulating them?"

"I'm just a little skeptical, and that aura is exactly the same as the aura on the mutant Xuanbone wolf that appeared in the city some time ago, I've already compared it repeatedly, and I can't be wrong......"

"Wait a minute, are you sure there is no comparison?" Xu Pingqing quickly interrupted his friend's speech after hearing this, and asked this inconsequential question

"Believe me, I can't be wrong, I was completely shocked at that time" The expression on Ye Feng's face became more and more solemn

"The aura on Lu Yang's body that caused trouble in our market some time ago is exactly the same as the aura carried by the mutant Xuanbone wolf, if what you said is really right, then wouldn't he also have something to do with the escort group recruited by the Xiao family to a greater or lesser extent? Xu Pingqing frowned, his face becoming more and more ugly

"You say...... Could it be that it has woken up from its long sleep and broken out?"

After being silent for a long time, Ye Feng looked at Xu Pingqing in a bit of a panic, his eyes full of fear

"How could it be, you know the final result of that bloody battle back then, the six of us have spent a huge part of the ability formation in our bodies to completely seal it under Luobo Lake and let it fall into a deep sleep, if the seal is forcibly broken, we will feel it as soon as possible." Besides, its breath is more or less familiar to us, and it is completely different from these breaths."

"What you said is true, but what if it used other methods that we didn't know about to break through the seal early so that we didn't notice it? It's been nearly twenty years, and the power of the formation suppression has been weakening year by year, and in order to maintain the release of the magic circle, all the abilities in the spontaneous combustion bodies of the two of us have only recovered about seven or eight layers of strength until today. Now among the six of us, Meng Yao has mysteriously disappeared, and even the Apocalypse Knight, who she invited for help at the time, has lost a trace after the end of that seal. If Xiao Qing betrayed us and broke the gap on one side of the seal, they would join forces with our three major families and would have no power to resist at all. ”

"This ...... Then why don't we immediately set off to Luobo Lake to check if there is any abnormality in the formation that seals it?"

A worried look appeared on Xu Pingqing's face, if the formation was really broken at such a critical moment, the disaster that happened more than ten years ago would come again. This small city, however, has already been destroyed once. This time, the tragedy of the past must not be allowed to repeat itself

"Well, let's go now, it will take about two or three days to get there"

......

Shaw House

"You bastard! I haven't been staring at you for a few hours, and you dare to openly provoke the people of their Xu family, do you know that you almost got into a big disaster! If someone hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known it until now!"

Xiao Qing, who was standing in front of Xiao Ran at this moment, turned pale, and the corners of his mouth trembled uncontrollably

"What's the big deal about the Xu family, anyway, the other three major families will completely disappear in Tianxiang City after a while, what's wrong with me messing with them?" Xiao Ran's emotions also became excited, and he spoke in a louder voice, with a hint of unconvinced expression

Syllable!

A crisp slap sounded in the closed room, Xiao Qing looked at his son angrily, and said: "Usually you mess with other small characters, at least they can only swallow their anger by relying on the power of our family, but now you want to clash with Xu Yichen and even use the fantasy stunt, who is Xu Yichen? He is the biological son of Xu Pingqing, the head of the Xu family, and the top pillar of the Xu family in the future! What if those tricks really accidentally kill him?" At that time, even if they will suffer heavy losses and be extremely angry, the Xu family will do everything they can to destroy our Xiao family, and we will all die at their hands before the plan has been made for so long! For the sake of our family, don't provoke them again before the plan is implemented."

There was a hot pain on his face, and Xiao Ran covered his right cheek with a gloomy face and said nothing

"After the game tomorrow, I will personally go to Xu's house with you to apologize, and this is the end of today's matter!

"Oh"

Seeing his father's appearance, Xiao Ran, who was in an extremely bad mood, turned around and walked to the closed door and kicked it in half with all his might, and then left angrily

"There is one more sentence you have to remember! Xu Yichen's kid will naturally have someone to deal with, but the person who will deal with him will not be us. Hope you know what that means. His mother is not a simple person, this great god is not something we can afford to provoke, the forces behind her are far more terrifying than we imagined, even I don't know what her true background is."

Stopping the pace of walking under his feet, and hearing these words of his father behind him, Xiao Ran, who was still very angry just now, was completely stunned like a log
