6. A touch of action

"Someone!", Xingmu Long has not been able to sleep peacefully in recent days, and always feels that something is wrong, he is ready to summon his subordinates early this morning to inquire carefully. Steward Fu looked at Xing Mu Long from a distance with a solemn face, and suddenly his heart turned upside down, and his heart almost rose to his throat, for fear that Xing Mu Long would see a clue, forcibly suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and ran forward respectfully, and asked: "I don't know what the master is doing to greet his subordinates early in the morning? Xingmu Long paced back and forth in place, and only after a moment did he ask, "Have all the souls who are not in the family come back yet?", Steward Fu heard the words and replied: "If you go back to the master, you haven't come back yet, maybe you are in cultivation, or you are performing some bounty tasks alone." "Oh!", Xing Mulong said subconsciously, and was about to go to the study to deal with some family affairs, but he stopped after just two steps, and ordered: "Issue the order of the head of the family, order them to return!", and walked to the study. At this time, the face of the Fu steward instantly turned bloodless, the dozen or so upper souls had been secretly killed by the invincible and ape Fei, and there was still a little bit of ashes, not to mention a big living person, all the Xingmu people who were outside must return after receiving the order of the head of the family, if the order of the head of the family is issued, and the return of the dozen or so people will not be seen when it is outdated, the Xingmu Dragon will definitely wake up, and when the matter is revealed, his life will not be guaranteed, thinking of this, the Fu steward couldn't help but shudder, hurriedly slipped out of the back door, and secretly ran to the Shadow Palace.

"Lord Yanjing...... Big things are not good...... It's a big deal......", Steward Fu gasped and stumbled into the Shadow Palace. Yan Jing was discussing the actions of tomorrow and night with the invincible, Yao Sanqian and Ape Fei in the secret room at this time, when he suddenly heard the shouts coming from the main hall, he couldn't help frowning, and walked out of the secret room with everyone one after another.

"What's the noise, don't you know this is the main hall?", Yan Jing's tone was cold, obviously quite dissatisfied with Steward Fu's shouting. When Steward Fu saw Yan Jing and others, he really wanted to see a life-saving straw rushing over, and said: "Lord Yan Jing, something is wrong! The old bone of Xingmu Long ordered the villain to issue an order for the head of the family this morning, summoning the dozen or so souls who were killed by the barbarian and the ape, and they are waiting for news at the moment!" Yan Jing and the others' expressions also became solemn in an instant, and they hurriedly asked, "What you said is true?" Seeing this, Steward Fu looked bitter and said helplessly: "How dare the villain deceive all the adults with this matter? Give the villain ten lives, no! A hundred or a thousand villains will not dare! Not to mention that this matter is also related to the villain's life, and every sentence is true!" At this time, Yan Jing and the others also believed Steward Fu's words, and their faces became more and more solemn, "You go back first!", Yan Jing waved his hand. After Steward Fu left, several people fell into deep thought, first of all, in terms of time, it took five days for the Killing Pill to fully exert its medicinal effect, and at this moment, it was only three days, and the strength of the Star Wood Dragon was not completely sealed, and they were not fully deployed. In addition, once the Starwood Dragon found out and was prepared, the price of destroying the Starwood Family would be beyond their reach. "It's midnight today, act!", Yan Jing decided, and the rest of the people nodded in agreement.

In the blink of an eye, the sky began to darken, Xingmu Long handled most of the affairs in the study, and found that it was already dusk, so after dinner, he ordered someone to call the Fu Butler. After a while, Steward Fu came to the study, "Master, your name is Xiao?" Xing Mulong asked, "How many souls have come back at present?", Steward Fu could not completely hide the uneasiness in his heart at this time, and said intermittently: "If you go back to the master, it is still ...... There is no family soul returning yet......", "What?", Xingmu Long suddenly slapped on the shore when he heard it, and the uneasiness of the past few days was instantly confirmed, the family head order is the highest summoning order of a family, and no one has returned at this moment, which can only show one truth - these dozen people have been killed. Xingmu Long was horrified in his heart, the upper soul is the most valuable resource for a family and even a village, and being able to kill more than a dozen upper souls of the Xingmu family categorically shows that the murderer must be a super soul, and it also shows the family's current dangerous situation. When I thought of this, I immediately walked towards the main hall.

"Gather the elders of the family, gather all the upper souls, transfer the women and children to the secret passage, issue a first-level alert order, send someone to report to the fire soul, and ask for support from the village!", Xingmu Long stood in the main hall and deployed. After a while, the order spread throughout the entire Xingmu family, all the lower souls were rapidly transferring women and children, and the remaining upper souls were gathered in front of the main hall except for those who were defending in the outer courtyard, and a powerful aura also came quickly, and after a while, five or six old men of the same age as Xingmu Dragon rushed to the main hall, their faces full of solemnity. After all, the first-level warning order can only be issued at the time of life and death, and it has only been established from the Xingmu family a few times. Xingmu Long's face was solemn, and he said: "Everyone, I'm afraid that today is the catastrophe of the Xingmu family, and more than a dozen upper souls of the family have been killed, which is my fault as the head of the family, but the matter has come to this point, it is irreparable, and I, Xingmu Long, am willing to exhaust the last drop of blood to defend the family!" Several elders are brothers who have lived and died with Xingmu Long, and they all said: "We are willing to go to life and death with the head of the family!", and the spirits under the hall also roared angrily: "Only the head of the family is the first to see!", at this moment, there is no fear of death, only the connection of blood, and generosity. Xingmu Long's eyes were red, he was not afraid of life and death, only the guilt of the entire family, and the gratitude to the clansmen. After Xingmu Long deployed everything, he walked to the side of Xingmu Night, squatted down, held Xingmu Night's face and said lovingly: "Night, will grandpa play hide and seek with you later?", Xingmu Nightnight instantly became excited when he heard the game, and said happily: "Hehe, good, good!", Xingmu Long's heart was like a knife, and he held back tears and said: "Then you are not allowed to speak, okay? Xingmu Remnant nodded vigorously. Xingmu Long took his grandson's hand and hid him in a secret room made of dark iron in the main hall, which happened to leave a small hole so that he could see the outside world.

After doing all this, Xingmu Long looked at the tablet of Xingmu Wuying enshrined in the center of the main hall, knelt down with a "plop", and said: "The incompetence of the descendants of Xingmu Long, let the family fall into today's situation, and it is difficult to escape the blame! Today I am willing to fight to the death to protect the family!", said the three kowtows respectfully, and all the elders and souls behind him also knelt down and kowtowed. They are willing to die for their family.
