The old man's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing part of the anger in Jiang Lianheng's heart, but also made him more clearly aware of the crisis at hand.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions, but the light in his eyes remained firm:
"No, I'm sure it's him! Apart from Ling Xiao, who can have such ruthless methods, and who can hit our weaknesses so accurately? I even suspect that this kid has broken through a certain bottleneck and is even more powerful. In the past. Moreover, he could not act alone, there must be helpers, otherwise, all this would be too incredible."
Having said this, Jiang Lianheng's eyes became extremely cold, as if he could penetrate the fog and look directly at the enemy hiding in the dark.
"Ling Xiao, do you think you can defeat our Jiang family in this way? You are wrong! I, Jiang Lianheng, vow to fight you to the end, even if I am shattered to pieces, I will let you know that the glory and dignity of the Jiang family cannot be violated! "Although his voice was low, it was full of unshakable determination and strength.
"This..." The old man's words stopped suddenly, as if an invisible force had strangled his throat, and a gleam of disbelief and fear flashed in his eyes.
In this brief silence, a strange aura suddenly surged in the air, and then, like ghosts in the dark night, a dozen black shadows passed silently across the threshold and suddenly appeared in everyone's sight. among.
These black figures, without exception, are Jiang family warriors wearing night clothes. They stand or kneel in different postures, but together they present a strange dead silence.
Their faces were distorted, and their eyes were full of unwillingness and fear, as if they had experienced great pain and fear before dying. What is even more heart-stopping is that there are no obvious scars on their bodies, but they have lost their vitality, as if they had been invisible. Power quietly took away lives.
Such a scene made everyone present feel a biting chill in their hearts. They looked at each other with shock and confusion in their eyes, as if they were in a nightmare from which they could not wake up.
They were completely unable to understand how the other party killed these elite warriors of the Jiang family one by one without any sound, and yet they, as strong men who guarded the safety of the family, did not notice or react at all.
"Although there are many enemies on the periphery, there is nothing to be afraid of." A voice broke the silence, with a bit of heaviness and helplessness.
"Although we can sense their existence, they are just a bunch of weak people, and we have eliminated them one by one. However, what is really worrying are the enemies who have sneaked into the Jiang family. They are like ghosts, killing people. Being invisible makes us very defenseless and cannot predict when and where we will encounter fatal attacks."
These words were like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Deep worry and uneasiness arose in everyone's hearts. They began to realize that this enemy named Ling Xiao was far more powerful than them. It was much scarier than imagined.
The cruelty of his methods and the exquisiteness of his layout make people wonder whether such a terrifying existence really exists in this world.
"Is this Ling Xiao really so terrifying?" Someone murmured to himself, his voice full of disbelief and fear. This question was not only asking others, but more like asking himself.
In such a night full of unknowns and dangers, they seemed to be involved in an inescapable whirlpool. They could only watch helplessly as the family's peace and glory crumbled under the shadow of the enemy.
"He, Ling Xiao, has an outstanding talent, like the most dazzling star in the night sky, which is hard to match. Now, supplemented by the legendary mysterious treasure, the two complement each other, and the power they unleash is enough to shake
The situation has given everyone in the Jiang family a headache."
Jiang Yuan's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with a slight tremor that was imperceptible.
His closed eyes opened slightly, and there were both deep memories of the past and deep worries about the current situation in his eyes. Although he was ashamed to speak for fear of being ridiculed as incompetent, he still decided to express his words in a tactful way.
Convey this concern to everyone present in a firm manner.
In the hall, the atmosphere became more solemn due to Jiang Yuan's words. Everyone's eyes turned to him, as if they could feel the invisible pressure from his resolute face.
At this moment, an old man stood up slowly. Although his back was slightly stooped, his eyes were shining with unyielding light.
"Master, I dare to speak." His voice was not high, but it penetrated every corner of the hall clearly.
"Now, the Jiang family has reached a critical juncture of life and death, and we can no longer hold anything back. The secret guards, as the most mysterious and powerful existence of the Jiang family, although they usually hide their secrets, at this moment it is they who show their loyalty and strength.
When the time comes, we must dispatch secret guards and let them become our sharp swords against powerful enemies. Otherwise, the Jiang family’s thousands-year-old foundation may be destroyed in one fell swoop.”
The old man's words were full of determination and helplessness. His eyes swept over everyone present, as if seeking resonance and support. Once the name of the secret guard was mentioned, it was like dropping a stone on the calm lake.
, causing ripples.
In the hearts of the Jiang family, the secret guard is not only a symbol of strength, but also the last line of defense to protect the family.
They are even more mysterious and powerful than the Jiang family's secret guards. They usually don't show up at all, except when the Jiang family's life and death are at stake. Their existence allows everyone to see a glimmer of hope in despair, and also allows the Jiang family to face the
I have more confidence and courage in times of crisis.
Secret guard, a word that has almost become taboo within the Jiang family, has now become the focus of discussion. They know that once the secret guard is dispatched, it means that the Jiang family has prepared for the worst and is ready to face the most difficult situation.
challenge.
But at the same time, they also believe that with the presence of secret guards, the Jiang family will not fall easily, and their honor and dignity will be most firmly defended in this life-and-death battle.
To dispatch secret guards, this decision is not easy to achieve. It requires following the Jiang family's most stringent system——
It must be done by the Supreme Elder, the highly respected spiritual leader of the family, the head of the family, the current helmsman of the family, and the leader of the secret guard, the mysterious figure who has always been hidden in the dark but is loyal to the family.
Only by issuing an order can this long-lasting power be unlocked.
In the conference room, the atmosphere was tense and depressing, with mixed opinions and arguments.
The face of the Supreme Elder was serious, and his eyes revealed deep worries about the future of the family; the head of the family clenched his fists, his eyes were firm, and vowed to protect every inch of the family's land; the commander of the secret guard sat in the shadows, his voice
Calm and composed, but every word reveals unquestionable authority.
