The ancestors go out
Shanghai. Shi Family Headquarters.
This is an old house left over from the Qing Dynasty, covering a very large area and imposing.
Inside the house, there are small bridges and flowing water, winding corridors and a quiet environment.
Because the old house is far away from the urban area, it is located in a peaceful and peaceful countryside, and the owner Shi Zhenglong has passed away for a long time.
Therefore, it is usually very calm here, as if it is isolated from the world, without any waves.
But, now, the calm was completely broken. The Shi family's children working at the headquarters have lost their usual leisure, with dignified expressions, preoccupied, coming and going in a hurry, even when friends meet, they just nod and pass by, not even interested in saying hello.
In the headquarters, the always-empty parking lot is now full of luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz Maybach.
And the owners of these cars, the most senior members of the Shi family, were sitting in the large meeting room at this time, with the same dignified expression and restless mind.
Just three days ago, they were scattered all over the world, some in the United States, some in Europe, and some in Japan.
However, before twelve noon three days later, they all returned to Shanghai and gathered in this meeting room.
Each of them is a party of celebrities, all of whom control huge wealth and have extremely high social status. They also have many things at hand that need to be dealt with.
However, they turned down all the work without hesitation and rushed back.
Because, they received the Purple Thunder Gold Order from the family headquarters.
The Zilei Golden Order is the highest-level emergency summoning order of the Shi family. Once it is issued, all disciples of the Shi family must return within the specified time.
Even in the Shi family's long family history, the number of Zi Lei Jin orders issued is not very many.
And whenever the Zilei Golden Order is issued, it also means that something earth-shattering has happened in the family!
The last time the Zilei Golden Order was issued was the sudden death of the former Patriarch Shi Zhenglong!
The atmosphere in the conference room was as solemn as if it had been filled with lead water, pressing on the heads of everyone, so that these big figures who were usually powerful in the shopping malls and in the cultivation world did not dare to make loud noises, but kept their voices down as much as possible. They exchanged their own messages, guessing the reason for their urgent recall.
Some people guessed that it was a family enemy who struck suddenly.
Some people think that the new owner has already been determined.
For a while, there were different opinions, and no one could agree on what to do, and no one had a definite answer.
"Huh? Why haven't Shi Yongcheng and Shi Yonglian come yet? It's past twelve o'clock." Suddenly, someone keenly discovered this detail.
"Yeah, they haven't shown up yet. After receiving the Purple Thunder Gold Order, if you don't return to the headquarters on time, you will be punished extremely severely!" He reminded others that it was a little strange.
"Unless, the Purple Thunder Gold Order was issued by them."
"They issued the Zilei Golden Token? How is that possible? The Zilei Golden Token is one of the highest tokens of our Shi family. It has always been controlled by the Patriarch himself. Since the previous Patriarch passed away, the Zilei Golden Token has been temporarily managed by three The old ancestor kept it, so what qualifications do Yongcheng and Yonglian have to issue the Purple Thunder Gold Order?" A burly middle-aged man asked with some dissatisfaction.
"What if Yongcheng has already become the Patriarch?" Someone retorted.
Hearing this, the big man couldn't help being slightly taken aback. Shi Yongcheng was extremely eager for the vacant position of Patriarch, which was well known within the family.
In addition, Shi Yongcheng has many supporters in the family, and the three ancestors have always taken a tacit attitude towards his move to snatch the position of Patriarch.
Therefore, it is not impossible for Shi Yongcheng to suddenly become the head of the family.
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe, he was killed?" The big man snorted and retorted.
At first the man laughed dryly, and did not argue with the old man, because the big man and brother Shi Yongcheng had deep grievances, and their sarcasm was quite normal.
However, everyone in the meeting room didn't take the big man's last curse to heart.
The strength of the Shi Yongcheng brothers has reached the Nascent Soul stage, and they belong to the best in the family. It is not an easy task to kill them, but the possibility of Shi Yongcheng becoming the head of the family is greater. .
Just as these senior members of the family were discussing, the door of the meeting room opened without wind.
Immediately afterwards, three old men with wrinkled faces and white hair and beards, but with a majestic imposing manner, walked in slowly.
The old man on the left has big ears, copper bell eyes, and a beard soaring to the sky. He is tall and has a somewhat fierce expression.
The old man in the middle has a pale face and a calm expression.
The one on the right has a pointed chin, and his face seems a little gloomy.
"Old ancestor!"
"Old Ancestor"
The family members in the meeting room couldn't help being taken aback, exclaimed, and hurriedly stood up, bowed down to salute, but they were secretly suspicious, the three old ancestors who never showed their faces easily, Why did they suddenly appear together!
The three old men nodded slightly to everyone, and then said indifferently: "Sit down."
After speaking, the three of them sat down on the first three chairs.
Only when the three ancestors were seated did the others dare to sit down, each with a respectful demeanor, not daring to be disrespectful.
"I summoned you from all over the world urgently because a major event happened in the family recently." The old man with a pale face said in a deep voice.
The others held their breath involuntarily, focused their eyes on his face, and waited quietly for the next step.
"Two brothers, Yongcheng and Yonglian, were unfortunately killed when they went to the East Lake. According to our investigation, he was beheaded and killed by a mysterious cultivator!"
The old man's words were like dropping a heavy bomb suddenly in a calm lake, causing huge waves to soar into the sky!
"Ah! The two brothers Yongcheng and Yonglian were killed!"
"How can this be!"
"Isn't Shi Yongcheng about to become the head of the family? Why did he suddenly go to East Lake!"
"They are among the strongest in the family! Especially Shi Yongcheng, who has almost reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage! Given time, he is very likely to enter the Out-of-body Stage!"
"That mysterious cultivator was able to kill the Yongcheng brothers! How powerful is he!"
"..."
"..."
There was an uproar in the entire conference room, and everyone could hardly believe their ears!
Shi Yongcheng, who had the most hope of becoming the next Patriarch of the Shi family, and his younger brother Yonglian were suddenly killed in a small town!
This not only caused great changes to the family's internal power structure, but even greatly weakened the Shi family's strength!
As a secular cultivator family, it is not an easy task to cultivate a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage!
That mysterious cultivator killed the Shi family brothers, tantamount to declaring war on the entire Shi family!
This blood feud can only be repaid with blood!
No wonder the three ancestors used the Zilei Golden Order to urgently recall all the senior members of the family. This is indeed an earth-shattering event!
"Who killed Yongcheng and Yonglian? Why did they kill them?" A family member shouted angrily, "We can't let that guy go, we must not let him go!"
"Yes! Even if we use the power of the whole clan, we must find him and tear him into pieces!"
"Yep!"
"good!"
"We must find him out, blood debt!"
"...."
"..."
Others echoed loudly, and the crowd was excited.
The three ancestors of the Shi family did not stop them, and when their anger gradually subsided, the old man in the middle slowly said: "This enmity must be avenged. However, it is not appropriate to make a big show of it. Because this belongs to our family." internal affairs."
"Internal affairs of the family? Could it be that people in our family did it?" Everyone was a little puzzled.
"Yes, because Yun Fang, the daughter-in-law of the former Patriarch Zhenglong, and Yun Lian, his granddaughter, live in East Lake."
The others immediately understood that the killing of Shi Yongcheng and Shi Yonglian had originally involved a power struggle within the family.
As for the two brothers Yongcheng going to the East Lake privately, I am afraid that they have other purposes.
It's just that they didn't expect that Yun Fang was superior, and for some reason, she killed the two of them!
This is really surprising.
The old man continued: "The three of us have already discussed in private, and we have decided that the three of us will personally go to the East Lake to find the murderer and avenge Yong Cheng and Yong Lian!"
"ah!"
In the conference room, all the senior members of the family were shocked by the decision made by the three ancestors!
The ancestors went out in person!
And the three of them were dispatched together!
This is the first time in the Shi family's past three hundred years!
