Chapter 363 Someone is not grateful
The Shen family mansion was shrouded in an invisible haze, and the air was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Everyone in the mansion was unconsciously feeling uneasy.

Aunt Wang and eldest sister Shen Fang sat side by side in the hall, with a smart maid standing next to them. The three of them looked towards the lonely figure outside the door from time to time.

At this time, Shen Er was sitting on the doorstep like a farmer.

He held a pipe tightly in his hand, puffing on the welding smoke. The sound was particularly harsh and revealed a sense of irritability.

After a while, the door of the mansion opened.

Accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps, Shen Xiaoshan, Tian Xiaohu and Zhang Shuyuan rushed in quickly.

Then they turned around almost at the same time and closed the door tightly, moving extremely quickly.

With a "click", the bolt fell.

Shen Xiaoshan, Tian Xiaohu and others finally felt relieved.

Shen Er stood up suddenly, his pipe still hanging from his lips, and ran over quickly, staring at the two of them and said, "What's the situation?"

Tian Xiaohu's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He whispered, "The city gate... was secretly cleared, and our people can't get out at all. That Zhou guy, I don't know when, has gathered a large number of people. The situation... is not optimistic."

Shen Xiaoshan chimed in: "People outside are saying that Brother Qingzi is dead."

"No, Qingzi has come all the way here, he won't die so easily." Shen Er denied it flatly.

Zhang Shuyuan said, "We definitely believe that the Dong family will not die, but people outside don't believe it. Now the problem lies here. Many people have turned against us."

Upon hearing this, Shen Er's expression became even uglier and he fell silent.

Before leaving, Shen Qing instructed them to evacuate as soon as possible.

They were also prepared to evacuate, but they didn't expect that these people were faster than them.

Within a short time after Shen Qing left, they took action, causing huge changes in the situation in the city. They were simply unable to cope with it, and even if they wanted to leave, they couldn't.

Their situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.

Seeing this, Tian Xiaohu hurriedly comforted them, "But don't worry, everyone. I have asked Xiao Zhi to hurry up and contact Chen Guang and Ji Youwu. They are all from the Weiwu Division. The boss has done them a favor. With them around, we should be able to get a glimmer of hope for our survival."

"Ah."

Shen Erben was just an ordinary hunter, and his bones were old. Facing this situation, he had no way to deal with it and could only pin his hopes on others.

Zhang Shuyuan advised: "We must stay calm at this time. If we can stay calm, we may still have some chance of survival. After all, there is no definite information about the master's life or death. We can use this as a starting point to persuade them not to act rashly."

"It's hard to say. Judging from the looks of those people, I'm afraid today won't end well."

Time passed little by little.

Gradually, footsteps were heard outside the door, and the door of the Shen family mansion was knocked.

Tian Xiaohu and others were shocked.

"it's me!"

"Xiao Zhi?!"

Tian Xiaohu lifted the bolt, opened the door a crack, and looked outside.

Besides Xiao Zhi, there were only a few people at the door, including Chen Guang, Ji Youwu, etc.

He asked in surprise: "Where are the others?"

"They all said they were busy with government affairs and this was not their business, so they were unwilling to come." Xiao Zhi sighed.
Tian Xiaohu understood that this was just what those people said.

Seeing that Shen Qing was in great danger, they were unwilling to get involved in this mess and wanted to protect themselves.

At this moment, Tian Xiaohu finally understood what it meant to be forgotten by others when they leave.

"Come in first!"

Xiao Zhi and others nodded one by one and walked into the mansion with heavy steps.

Tian Xiaohu raised his hand and embedded the heavy bolt back into the threshold. With a clang, the door was locked tightly.

"Everyone." Xiao Zhi took two steps, stopped and said to Tian Xiaohu and others in a deep voice: "I just heard some information. My situation may be even more troublesome." "What's the matter?" Everyone gathered around at the same time, their eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.

"I heard that Zhou Su not only gathered a large group of people, but also secretly invited a Xiantian realm martial artist to help."

"What?!" Tian Xiaohu and the others exclaimed almost in unison, their voices mixed with disbelief and fear. Their hearts seemed to be suddenly grasped by an invisible hand, falling straight into the abyss.

Xiao Zhi's words were like ice, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the room.

The scene became audible.

In the eyes of these people, a martial artist at the Xiantian realm is like a supreme master, with unfathomable strength, who can overturn life and death with a wave of his hand.

Faced with such an existence, they are like ants trying to shake a tree, small and powerless.

"Let's go in first." Zhang Shuyuan didn't know much about martial arts, but he could tell from everyone's eyes that something was not good, and his wrinkled face looked even more worried.

Everyone gathered in the lobby without saying much.

They all unconsciously increased the strength of their hands, tightly gripping the hilts of the swords at their waists, their knuckles turning white from the force.

Aunt and other people who had a close relationship with Shen Qing had tense expressions, as if they were standing at the crossroads of fate, with an uncertain road ahead and no way to retreat.

For a moment, the lobby fell into deathly silence. The heavy atmosphere was like an invisible boulder, oppressing everyone's nerves and making people feel suffocated.

Only the occasional sound of wind coming from outside the window allows everyone to take a break.

"Those we are facing are very strong." Tian Xiaohu swallowed hard, his voice hoarse: "But no matter what, we can't just sit there and wait for death."

"That's right. Even if I die, I have to take someone with me."

At this tense moment, there was a sudden noise in the yard, like footsteps, and someone suddenly appeared.

"what happened?"

Everyone's nerves were instantly stretched to the limit, and the weapons in their hands were almost about to fly out of their sheaths.

Ji Youwu and Chen Guang, who were standing at the outermost, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Go and have a look."

Swish.

The two men drew their swords at the same time and walked cautiously towards the yard.

When they walked into the yard and saw that figure, they were stunned for a moment.

Tian Xiaohu and others behind them saw how abnormal they were and thought they were in great danger, so they rushed over to help.

However, when they saw the figure in the yard, they were also in disbelief, their eyes wide open, filled with shock.

This person was none other than Shen Qing himself who had rushed over from Kyoto.

Shen Qing looked at Tian Xiaohu and the others who were dumbfounded, and asked strangely, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Shen Xiaoshan swallowed his saliva and blurted out: "Brother Qingzi, they all said you were dead!"

"He's not dead, he's still alive and well." Shen Qing put his hands behind his back and walked towards the hall. He glanced at Zhang Shuyuan and ordered, "It's time for dinner, let's have a banquet!"

Zhang Shuyuan was a little confused.

Shen Qing smiled and said, "I've heard that there will be quite a few people coming to welcome me later, so I have to entertain them!"

"Yes, yes, I'll ask the servants to prepare it right away."

Zhang Shuyuan said hurriedly, running towards the kitchen without stopping.

However, just as he left, there were footsteps and banging sounds at the gate of the mansion.

Bang bang bang!
"Alas..." Shen Qing said helplessly: "It seems that someone doesn't know how to appreciate my kindness and doesn't want to eat this meal anymore."

boom!
The door suddenly broke into pieces under a huge force...
