Duanmu Lian heard these decisive words and sighed, "Qingruo, the head of the family actually wanted to go to the Blood Lotus Sect a long time ago and let you return to the Duanmu clan."
After a pause, he continued, "I even ignored the public opinion and directly resigned from the positions of the previous elders. But in the end, I was still afraid that you would hate him in your heart, so I didn't go to you for so many years!"
Xu Shengxian glanced at the two of them without interrupting, and just listened quietly...
After finishing speaking, Duanmu Lian's beautiful eyes stared closely at Zhou Qingruo's cold cheek, hoping to see something strange in it...
However, she was disappointed. After listening to these words, Zhou Qingruo's face was still cold and emotionless...
He said calmly, "Are you done? He asked you to say these things to me specifically?"
Zhou Qingruo shook his head and objected, "No...no, these are what I wanted to say a long time ago. Although it will not affect your decision, I still think you have the right to know!"
If that kind of thing hadn't happened back then, I'm afraid Duanmu Qingruo would have taken over as the head of the Duanmu clan by now!
Although the head of the family has more than one child of the former, his cultivation talent is the most terrifying!
Zhou Qingruo's amber eyes turned cold, "Really? But now that you have said it and I have listened to it, don't mention the return to the Duanmu clan in front of me in the future, otherwise..."
The words are full of determination...
Duanmu Lian bit his thin lips and finally relaxed, "Okay, okay, I won't tell you such things again in the future."
After seeing them finish speaking, Xu Sheng asked softly, "Qingruo, can you tell me what happened to you?"
Zhou Qingruo opened his mouth, but then shut it tightly. He rarely refused and said, "Sorry, Xu Sheng, I don't want to answer this question!"
While they were talking, a male disciple from the Duanmu clan ran towards them...
His tone was extremely anxious as he said, "Elder Lian, as well as Elder Qingruo and Elder Xu, the head of the family has asked you to come over quickly."
Duanmu Lian frowned and asked, "What happened? You are so impatient!"
Xu Sheng and Zhou Qingruo also looked at this disciple...
Hearing this, the disciple immediately calmed down, and after clarifying his thoughts, he explained seriously, "I don't know the details, but it seems that people from other families have come, and they are not good-natured! Only those who are in the Immortal Lord Realm are powerful.
So many people came!"
The corners of Duanmu Lian's mouth raised in an arc, and he secretly said, "It's coming faster than expected. These families really don't want to give us any possibility of finding foreign aid!"
But obviously, they are destined to return empty-handed!
Xu Sheng stretched and stood up, jokingly saying, "Let's go then, don't make the head of the Duanmu family anxious!"
A lot of people from the Immortal Lord Realm came here, probably all the elite elders from several big families were picked here!
…
Duanmu Shuo, who was looking at the dozens of Immortal Lord Realm experts in front of him, had a gloomy face, but he had to fake a smile and said, "Masters of the family, you are welcome, you are welcome from afar!"
Did these guys bring out all the highest combat power in their family?
It’s really more shameless than I thought!!
Hearing this, the patriarchs of other families sneered and said, "There is no need to say polite words. I think the head of the Duanmu family also knows what we are here for!"
"That's right, without further ado, let's start the duel quickly. We don't have much time to waste here!"
"Oh! I suddenly forgot, it seems that only the female elder named Duanmu Lian of the Duanmu clan has reached the Immortal Lord Realm, right? If you can't get the three Immortal Lord Realm elders together, you will be considered a loser!"
The meaning of this sentence is very simple, it is to tell Duanmushuo!
You Duanmu clan can't even find three elders of the Immortal Lord Realm. How can you compete with us?
Duanmushuo gritted his teeth and said, "Please wait a moment, our elders will be here soon!"
Huh! Since you don’t give me face, then don’t be
Upon hearing this, the patriarchs and elders of other families crossed their arms and stared at Duanmushuo with a sneer...
Even when death is imminent, he is still showing off his strength!
They have already given instructions to all the families around here in advance, so it is impossible for a strong person from the Immortal Lord Realm to help them!
A few minutes later, Xu Sheng and the others arrived at the entrance of the Duanmu clan...
Duanmu Lian took the lead and said to Duanmu Shuo around him, "Master!"
Xu Sheng said symbolically, "Master!"
Zhou Qingruo did not speak, but looked at these powerful men in the Immortal Lord Realm in front of him with his beautiful amber eyes...
When the disciples who were watching around saw Duanmu Lian and the others coming, they all said:
"Huh! Elder Lian and the others are finally here, and now there's something good to watch!"
"Hmph! Our Duanmu clan will not let them provoke us! Don't be beaten black and blue by the elders then!"
"That's right, you actually mocked our Duanmu clan for having only Elder Lian, a strong Immortal Lord Realm person! It's just like a dog looking down on others!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let those people hear it, although I also think they don't even have the courage to show their face in order to get the qualifications to enter the Xuanming Realm."
After seeing the unfamiliar Xu Sheng and Zhou Qingruo, these foreign clan leaders and elders emitted spiritual power fluctuations to sense...
When he discovered that the two of them were actually in the Immortal Lord Realm, his expressions instantly became gloomy!
One of the clan leaders said with a smile, "These are the other two Immortal Lord Realm elders of the Duanmu clan? What a talent!"
Deep down in his heart, he angrily said, "Damn it! Where did the Duanmu family find such a powerful person in the Immortal Lord Realm? It shouldn't be possible!"
The other clan leader said without changing his expression, "The Duanmu family is really good at it. I didn't expect that there are two elders from the Immortal Lord Realm."
"Yeah, I thought the Duanmu clan would give up because they couldn't find the three elders to participate in the duel! I didn't expect that the Duanmu clan leader would actually hide this trick!"
"However, the outcome of this duel cannot be changed by just calling a few people at the Immortal Lord Realm level!"
Although they didn't say it explicitly, they didn't think Xu Sheng and the others could win in front of their "carefully selected" elders!
What's more, the current format is three against one! As long as the elders sent by the Duanmu clan are eliminated first, victory will be guaranteed!
Duanmushuo showed a smile and said, "That's great, that's great! I wonder how the clan leaders plan to fight against each other?"
You old foxes, you will know how wrong you are when the time comes!
Hearing Duanmu Shuo's words, one of the clan leaders turned cold and said leisurely, "Since we have all arrived at the Duanmu clan's residence, why not have separate duels at the martial arts stage?"
