"Forget it, don't think about it..."
Xu Ning shook his head.
For him, the question didn't make much sense.
Now returning to the world of martial arts, the promotion to Grandmaster is the real business.
However, just when Xu Ning was about to release the clone, he suddenly felt several powerful auras approaching.
"Ninth-rank secret masters, there are eight people in total, they are approaching the Gao family..."
Xu Ning frowned.
He suspended his decision to return to the martial arts world immediately.
Soon, the eight ninth-level secret masters broke into Gao's mansion directly and came to the central courtyard of Gao's house.
"Which Your Excellencies are here?"
At this time, Gao Linhe, the head of the Gao family and the ninth-level secret master, also sensed the arrival of outsiders.
He brought the other three ninth-level secret masters from the Gao family, and they also came over later.
"So it's everyone from Qinggeyuan and Yanwenyuan!"
Gao Rinhe came to the central courtyard, and was startled when he saw who was coming.
Of the eight ninth-rank secret masters who came to Gao's house, five were from Qingge Academy, and three were from Yanwen Academy.
"How did they get together?"
Gao Lin smiled on his face, but there was a strong fear in his heart.
Qinggeyuan and Yanwenyuan are the two most powerful forces in the city of secret masters. On weekdays, there are even conflicts between them, and they will fight secretly.
But at this time, they joined together, broke into Gao's house without saying hello, and looked extremely unkind.
"Patriarch Gao!"
The leader is none other than the master of Qingge Academy, Fei Qingyi.
He has the appearance of a young man, but his eyes are full of vicissitudes and indifference.
"I came to Gao's house today to ask for something!"
Fei Qingyi said.
Although he said he was asking for help, his attitude was extremely tough.
"Master Fei, please tell me."
Gao Rinhe seemed cheerful, but he was on guard.
"Yanwenyuan and I want to borrow the hidden fragments of the Gao family."
Fei Qing didn't change his face, it seemed that he just made a random request.
Gao Lin listened together, his face changed.
His smile was also a little tight: "Master Fei is joking, right? How can something like a secret fragment be borrowed from someone else?"
"I'm sorry, Master Fei, I can't agree to your request."
Gao Rinhe directly stretched out his hand: "I would like to ask Master Fei and everyone to come back."
Fei Qingyi was not annoyed when Gao Rinhe refused, but showed a playful smile instead.
He turned slightly sideways, and exchanged glances with another man in silver shirt beside him.
Then, the man in the silver shirt stood up.
"Patriarch Gao, I might as well tell you the truth."
The man in the silver shirt said: "Now, the Qingge Institute has joined hands with our Yanwen Institute, and is going to gather the secret fragments of both parties for research, and jointly crack the secret of the tenth rank promotion in the hidden fragments."
"However, during the research process, we found that our hidden fragments are still not enough, and we need to gather another batch of hidden fragments. Therefore, we are going to borrow a batch of hidden fragments from your Gao family and other forces. Explore again."
Gao Linhe knew the man in the silver shirt.
He is the vice-principal of Yanwen Academy, Qiu Shili.
"However, Patriarch Gao, you can also rest assured. Once we have made progress in the research of the hidden fragments and uncovered the secrets, we will share them with the Gao family."
"So, Patriarch Gao, please agree to our request."
Qiu Shili clasped his fists at Gao Lin.
Although his stance appears lower, he is actually still aggressive.
Gao Rinhe has already felt the hostility of several visitors.
He is very clear that once he refuses, these eight ninth-level secret masters may directly attack.
However, Gao Rinhe also knew that since the other party had put on such a posture, there was a high probability that the hidden fragments lent out would not be taken back.
Moreover, both sides behaved so domineeringly today, and he did not believe that after the secret of being promoted to the tenth rank was cracked, the other party would tell him about it.
It's just that the current situation is indeed a bit grim.
"How many secret fragments are you going to borrow?"
Gao Rinhe's tone was a little loose.
"all."
This time it was Fei Qingyi who answered.
"all?"
Gao Rinhe's face was livid: "Are you guys joking?"
It is impossible for Gao Rinhe to agree to this proposal.
Handing over the accumulation of hundreds of years of hidden fragments of the Gao family is essentially an act of betrayal of the family.
"It seems Patriarch Gao is unwilling."
Fei Qingyi showed a look of regret: "Since this is the case, then let's do it ourselves!"
As soon as Fei Qingyi finished speaking, the eight of them moved in an instant and rushed towards the forbidden area of Gao's house.
"Stop them quickly!"
Gao Rinhe looked anxious and shouted loudly.
The direction Fei Qingyi and the others were heading towards was the treasure house of the Gao family.
It is an independent space, and all the hidden fragments of the Gao family are stored in it.
Then, Gao Linhe and the three ninth-level secret masters intercepted Fei Qingyi and the others.
"The arm of the mantis is like a cart!"
Fei Qingyi is the pinnacle of the ninth rank, the most powerful person in the City of Secret Masters, only one step away from the tenth rank.
With the power of one person, he will not be at a disadvantage against the entire Gao family, let alone having several helpers by his side.
Bang bang bang!
Fei Qingyi directly spread his secret domain, covering half of the Gao family.
"Fei Qingyi, Qiu Shili, you are deceiving people too much!"
Gao Lin and the four of them felt endless pressure in Fei Qingyi's secret domain, and even found it difficult to mobilize the power of the secret master.
"If you make too much noise, I'll kill you all!"
Fei Qingyi's eyes were full of murderous intent.
Gao Rinhe was full of grief and indignation at this time, but he was helpless.
However, at this moment.
Gao Rin and the four of them suddenly felt lighter.
I saw that Fei Qingyi's secret domain had disappeared.
Fei Qingyi was also taken aback.
"Come here uninvited and steal someone's belongings. Isn't this an act of robbers? Isn't it ridiculous that the master of the Qingge Academy has done such a thing?"
A voice came.
I saw Xu Ning's figure slowly descending from mid-air.
"This... is Xu Ning!"
Gao Rinhe and the other three also recognized Xu Ning.
Xu Ning contributed a huge amount of hidden fragments to the Gao family before, which made the four ninth-level secret masters know of his existence.
There was even a ninth-level secret master among them who offered Xu Ning an invitation to join the Gao family, but Xu Ning refused.
"His aura... is the peak of the ninth order!"
Gao Lin and the four of them didn't turn their minds for a while.
Xu Ning was only at the eighth level before, and even if he was promoted to the ninth level, he should be at the beginning level. How could he be at the peak in a blink of an eye.
The internal realm of the world of secret masters is also very different. The gap between the initial stage, the middle stage, and the peak is equivalent to the small realm of the martial arts world.
"Who are you?"
Fei Qingyi and Qiu Shili were also on the verge of a formidable enemy.
They didn't expect that there was such a top expert hidden in the Gao family.
