Chapter 374 Take action
"Reporting to Master, everything has been arranged. We'll take action immediately!" Old Chen said menacingly.
"Haha, great! I've been waiting for this day for so many years, and the position of family head is finally mine!" Murong Wu said excitedly.
"Although Murong Zhan is already suffering from severe poison, we can still be careless! However, he is still at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm. Let those four experts attack together! We must not leave any future troubles!" Murong Wu said viciously.
"Once Murong Zhan dies and Murong Qingqing marries the Second Prince, won't the remaining child be completely at your mercy, Master? Haha!" Old Chen said excitedly.
Murong Wu thought ambitiously, "Once I inherit the family headship, I'll not only want the family headship, but also the entire martial arts world. Then no one will be able to control me!" A glint flashed in Murong Wu's eyes.
At this moment, Murong Zhan was resting with his eyes closed in his room.
Just then, everything suddenly fell silent! Murong Zhan abruptly opened his eyes and muttered, "So, they finally couldn't resist making a move!"
Murong Zhan quickly pretended not to have noticed anything and closed his eyes.
Knock knock! There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Murong Zhan said.
"Master, this is ginseng soup that Miss specially prepared for you. She said this is the last time she will make ginseng soup for you, so please be sure to drink it all." The old servant said, tears welling up in his eyes.
The old servant thought that Murong Zhan would be moved to tears after hearing this, but to his surprise, Murong Zhan suddenly smiled strangely, which was quite terrifying.
"Old Li, how long have you been at the Murong residence?" Murong Zhan suddenly asked.
The old servant was puzzled when he heard this, but still replied, "It has been twenty years, sir."
"Twenty years, hmm, I can't believe it's been twenty years already. How have I treated you, sir?" Murong Zhan continued to ask.
The servant quickly replied, "Master has been incredibly kind to my family!"
"Heh, even if the favor was as heavy as a mountain! Why did you betray me!" Murong Zhan suddenly asked sharply, his eyes fixed on the old servant.
The old servant was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Master, I'm innocent!" the old servant cried, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Heh, you poisoned me too, didn't you?" Murong Zhan said.
Upon hearing this, the old servant suddenly froze, raised his head, and said, "Master, spare me! This was all forced upon me by the Second Master at the cost of my family's lives! Master, spare me!"
Murong Zhan looked at him quietly, then suddenly slapped the old servant's head with his palm and murmured, "If you do something wrong, you will definitely be punished! Your family will be safe and sound."
The servant fell to the ground and died.
Clap! Clap clap! Clapping sounds came from outside the door.
"Haha, Patriarch Murong is indeed formidable. I didn't expect you to see through my disguise in the end," a middle-aged man said, leading three others.
"You've got everyone outside under your control, haven't you?" Murong Zhan asked calmly.
“Indeed, Patriarch Murong must know who we are and what we’ve come for! I advise Patriarch Murong to surrender, and I can at least give him a more dignified death,” the middle-aged man said coldly.
Murong Zhan, without changing his expression, said, "If you want my life, then come and take it."
"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences. Get your hands on me, fourth brother!" The middle-aged man said to someone, his face growing even colder.
"Yes, brother, prepare to die!" the man known as the fourth brother shouted.
The man struck out with his palm in vain, thinking he had victory firmly in his grasp.
"Pfft!" After the palm strike, to everyone's surprise, it was the man who spat out a mouthful of blood!
The fourth brother coughed up blood and exclaimed, "You...you're not injured at all!"
"What!" The other three were shocked.
At the crucial moment, the middle-aged man said, "What's the panic? He's just a Grand Perfection Innate Realm cultivator. We have two Grand Perfection Innate Realm cultivators and two late-stage Innate Realm cultivators, what are we afraid of! Let's attack together!"
The three agreed and launched an attack on Murong Zhan together!
The four engaged in a fierce battle with Murong Zhan, fighting to a standstill for about thirty moves.
"The Four Poisons of the Southeast!" Murong Zhan suddenly said.
"Hehe, that's right, Patriarch Murong is indeed powerful, he was able to withstand so many of our attacks without being at a disadvantage!" the leading man said.
"Hehe, I didn't want to reveal it so early, but it seems I can't now," Murong Zhan said calmly.
The four were also taken aback. Could Murong Zhan still have some trump card up his sleeve? It was impossible for anyone outside to get in. Just what other trump card did Murong Zhan have?
Murong Zhan unleashed his Earth-rank cultivation directly, his aura fierce.
"A... Earth-rank Grand Cultivator!" The Four Poisons of the Southeast were so surprised they were speechless!
"Split up and leave quickly! We can't handle a cultivator at the Earth Rank! Go find Second Master!" the middle-aged leader said decisively.
The four of them scattered in different directions.
Murong Zhan said coldly, "Now that you've been exposed, do you still want to leave?"
The difference between a cultivator at the Innate Realm and a cultivator at the Earth Realm is not insignificant. In an instant, Murong Zhan struck down the fourth brother with a single palm strike, killing him instantly!
"Fourth brother! I'll fight you to the death!" another person said.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
"Second brother, third brother, come back quickly!" the leader shouted in alarm.
As expected, the two were like lambs to the slaughter. In just a few rounds, they were beaten to a bloody pulp and were, as always, certain to die.
"You old thief Murong, you just wait!" the leader said, his eyes bloodshot. Although they were ruthless, they had been brothers since childhood and had a very good relationship.
After finishing speaking, the man in the lead turned around and used some secret technique to dash away.
"Hmph, where do you think you're going!" Murong Zhan's killing intent was resolute.
"A finger strike from a distance!" Murong Zhan unleashed his family's secret technique, sending a transparent wave of energy that struck the leading man, knocking him down.
Murong Zhan pressed his advantage, finishing him off with another palm strike. Only after confirming the four men were certain to die did Murong Zhan leave.
"Old Sun, where is Murong Wu?" Murong Zhan asked.
"Reporting to the master, we are receiving guests in the main hall. The Second Prince has arrived," said the old servant surnamed Sun.
"Heh, alright, I'm going out to see this bastard too!" Murong Zhan said, his killing intent completely gone.
In the hall, Murong Wu was greeting a group of guests, his eyes revealing a look of joy.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Second Prince. I wonder if Your Highness has brought the items?" Murong Wu said loudly.
"Of course I brought it, bring it up!" Huangfu Shenghua said, gesturing for the servants to bring the items up.
The servant brought out a jade box made of pure jade. When he opened it, he found the Soul-Gathering Grass, which radiated an unusual luster.
"Haha, thank you very much, Your Highness. Please go and invite my niece Qingqing over." Murong Wu said happily.
Just as he finished speaking, another servant rushed out from outside the door and hurriedly said, "Reporting to the Second Master, His Highness the Sixth Prince has come in person to offer his congratulations!"
"What! It's actually the Sixth Prince!" The words had barely left his mouth when the crowd erupted in murmurs. Everyone knew the Sixth Prince and the Second Prince were sworn enemies; why would he come to offer congratulations!
