These four words were like four mountains, weighing heavily on the hearts of Kong Meng and others, making their newly relaxed mood become extremely heavy again.
Although home was right in front of them, their hearts were full of anxiety and fear. No one spoke anymore, and they arrived in silence all the way to the gate of the Kong family.
Seeing the appearance of his juniors, although Kong Benchu also felt pressure in his heart, as an elder, he had to cheer up and said to everyone: "You don't need to worry too much, don't forget, we are here
Even the Five Elements Taoist Sect cannot do whatever they want on the territory of our Kong family."
"Okay, you have worked hard all the way and are tired, so go and have a rest!"
Kong Benchu's comfort obviously didn't have much effect. Although everyone didn't dare to say anything, they all left with worried faces on their faces.
After everyone had left, Kong Benchu said to Jiang Yun: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I will ask Meng'er to arrange a place for you to live first, and you can also take a rest, and I will pick you up later!"
Jiang Yun knew very well that although he and Kong Wushang were from the same sect and had shown enough sincerity to the Kong family, he was still an outsider after all.
Moreover, Kong Benchu did not have a bad heart. He was obviously trying to avoid a direct conflict between himself and the people of the Five Elements Taoist Sect, so he deliberately separated himself.
As a guest, it was impossible for him to insist on going with Kong Benchu to meet the people of the Five Elements Taoist Sect, so Jiang Yun nodded and said: "Okay!"
"Meng'er, please entertain Fellow Daoist Jiang!"
After giving a few simple instructions to Kong Meng, Kong Benchu cupped his fists and saluted Jiang Yun: "Well, Fellow Daoist Jiang, I'll excuse you now!"
Seeing Kong Benchu's figure leaving in a hurry, Kong Meng suddenly rolled his eyes and lowered his voice and said: "Brother Jiang, why don't we follow him secretly and have a look?"
Kong Meng's words made Jiang Yun stunned and said: "This... is not good!"
vc
When I first arrived at the Kong family, Kong Benchu had already deliberately kept me away. Now I had to follow them secretly and eavesdrop on their conversation. It was better not to be discovered. If I was discovered, I would be in great embarrassment!
What's more, what Kong Benchu was going to see now was a master of the Five Tribulations Realm of Heaven and Man. Although he was confident that he would not be discovered, it would be hard to say if there was another Kong Meng.
However, Kong Meng continued: "Don't worry, Brother Jiang, there is a dark room in our Kong family's meeting hall. There are several isolation formations in it, so we won't be discovered."
"Moreover, the people who were called by the Guan family to call the Five Elements Dao Sect must be trying to use the power of the Five Elements Dao Sect to force the ancestors and others to agree to propose marriage. This is related to the happiness of my life. Brother Jiang, just accompany me!"
At this point, Kong Meng's eye circles were red, tears were already rolling in his eyes, and he looked at Jiang Yun pitifully.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Jiang Yun could only say helplessly: "Okay, I'll go with you!"
"Very good!"
Kong Meng's tears suddenly turned into laughter, and he actually took Jiang Yun's hand and ran directly towards the Kong family's meeting hall.
Along the way, I met several servants of the Kong family. Although they also looked worried, they couldn't help but be shocked when they saw Kong Meng holding the hand of a strange man.
Kong Meng ignored this and hurriedly led Jiang Yun to a secret room and stepped into a small teleportation array.
As the formation lit up, Jiang Yun and Kong Meng were already in a smaller secret room.
The area of this secret room is only about ten feet in diameter. As expected, there are several isolation formations arranged with many spirit stones on the ground and surrounding walls.
There is a window on one side of the wall, which can clearly see a hall outside.
Jiang Yun did not go to the hall first, but glanced at the secret room, knowing in his heart that the purpose of this secret room must be for the Kong family to arrange assassinations by masters.
In the hall, besides Kong Benchu, who had just entered, there were four other people.
It can be seen from where they sit that there are two people from the Kong family and three people from the Guan family.
After Jiang Yun's eyes swept across the five people, he landed on the three members of the Guan family.
There are three people from the Guan family, two old and one young.
The younger one is in his thirties, good-looking, with an aloof look between his eyebrows.
When Jiang Yun thought about it, he should be the person the Guan family proposed to marry Kong Meng, Guan Zhifei!
As for the two old men, one was dressed in brocade clothes, slightly fat, and had a smile on his face.
The other old man looked to be in his fifties, with a thin body and a goatee.
Jiang Yun stared straight at this person.
Because although the old man's eyes were tightly closed, the powerful aura exuding from his thin body showed that he was the powerful man of the Five Elements Dao Sect who was in the Five Tribulations Realm of Heaven and Man.
When she saw this old man, Kong Meng couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's him!"
Jiang Yun was moved in his heart: "Could he be Wu Shang's master?"
"Yes!" Kong Meng nodded repeatedly: "He is the elder of the Five Elements Taoist Sect, and his name is Zong Bai."
"My eldest brother became his disciple back then, and he took good care of my Kong family. But since my eldest brother disappeared, his attitude towards my Kong family has changed."
At this moment, above the hall, a middle-aged man from the Kong family said loudly: "Guan Peng, the private matters between your two families should be settled by your own family."
"But you invited Senior Zong here today. Do you want to use Senior Zong's reputation to bully my Kong family?"
This man is the head of the Kong family, Kong Xuehai, and the Guan Peng he refers to is the old man in brocade, the head of the Guan family.
Guan Peng shook his head and said: "Brother Kong, what you said is wrong. Although it used to be a fight between you and my family, it was indeed a private matter between our two families, but now it has something to do with senior He Zong."
"Because, Senior Zong is now Zhifei's master!"
As soon as these words were said, Kong Xuehai and Kong Benchu couldn't help but look at each other, and their expressions suddenly became solemn.
This Zongbai was originally dissatisfied with the Kong family, but now that Guan Zhifei has become his disciple, he must be fully supporting the Guan family!
Guan Zhifei also smiled coldly and said: "Uncle Kong, my master came here specially to propose marriage for me today. This can be regarded as giving you enough face of the Kong family. I think you won't refute my master's face, right?"
"this……"
Neither Kong Xuehai nor Kong Benchu dared to respond.
After completely breaking up with the Guan family, at least the Kong family still has the ability to fight, but now that Zong Bai has intervened in this matter, it means that the Five Elements Taoist Sect has intervened in this matter.
No matter how courageous the Kong family is, they would not dare to confront the Five Elements Taoist Sect!
After a moment of silence, Kong Benchu stood up, cupped his fists in front of Zong Bai and saluted: "Senior Zong, logically speaking, if you come forward in person, we will definitely give you this face, but..."
Before Kong Benchu could finish his words, Zong Bai, who had always had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes slightly.
Then he saw two rays of cold light burst out, staring directly at Kong Benchu's face. Kong Benchu's body suddenly trembled, and he could no longer say the next words.
At this time, Guan Peng suddenly said with a smile: "Senior Zong, please rest your thunderous wrath."
As Guan Peng spoke, Zong Bai actually closed his eyes again.
Guan Peng looked at Kong Benchu and said: "As the saying goes, a melon that is forced is not sweet. We don't want to force others to do anything, so why not do this? I have a compromise proposal."
Kong Benchu and the two still looked at Guan Peng in silence, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Guan Peng's gourd.
Guan Peng continued: "Although you and I have been fighting for so many years, my Guan family is not willing to really kill everyone, so I can give you two ways to the Kong family."
"The first way is, if anyone among the younger generation of the Kong family can beat Zhifei, then this marriage will be over!"
"The second way is, it's okay if Kong Meng doesn't marry Zhifei, but you must hand over the Fire Spirit Pearl of your Kong family!"
