The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 97 Camp
"call out!"

Less than ten seconds after Yaoguang left, two figures, one in front and one behind, rushed into the room of the head of the family, Shangguan Jinlong, at the same time.

Looking at Shangguan Jinlong who had turned into a corpse, both of them showed horror in their eyes.

Compared to the patriarchs of other families, Shangguan Jinlong...

In fact, he came to power by killing his second uncle.

The story behind this is somewhat complicated, but the reason why Shangguan Jinlong was able to sit firmly in the position of the head of the family and gain their full support is entirely because of his amazing martial arts talent and powerful violent tactics.

His rule over his family was based on power rather than virtue.

He himself understood that the other branches of the family must have different thoughts, so after becoming the head of the family, he never relaxed his practice, and was determined to become a Hunyuan Martial Saint, condense a flawless body, and live to be over a hundred years old.

But now...

Such a divine and martial saint-level patriarch who had risen to the top through force was beaten to death by the same means!

This scene deeply shocked the two martial saints from the branch lineage who came in a hurry.

Looking at the figure that had disappeared into the night, a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.

Of course, fear is one thing, and expressing attitude and position is another.

The two of them gave orders without hesitation: "Chase! Chase! Chase! They dared to come to our Shangguan family to commit crimes. This is outrageous!"

"Gather everyone and chase him. Even if we have to search the entire capital, we must find the murderer who killed the master of the family!"

"Yes."

Amidst the waves of responses, the entire Shangguan family quickly lit up and took full action.

……

The privileged area where the Shangguan family lived was actually right at the foot of Zhaixing Mountain.

The imperial palace is located on the Zhaixing Mountain.

The Shangguan family went to great lengths and made a lot of noise, which naturally attracted the attention of the royal family members on the mountain.

……

At this time, in the Zhenxiu Hall in the palace where Jiang Shengtian handled state affairs, the Red Star Emperor was discussing with three important officials.

Everyone's face was extremely solemn.

"Have you figured it out? Why did the Rebirth Society suddenly disappear in the recent period? This behavior... always feels like the precursor of a storm."

Jiang Shengtian asked carefully.

The person who answered him was the head of the intelligence department, Qi Renjie, who was also the son-in-law of the Jiang family.

"We are still investigating. Although we have tried to infiltrate the Rebirth Society more than once and have been friendly to them, they are fundamentally different from us. It is too difficult to infiltrate and contact the core members."

Qi Renjie said.

"It's not a good idea to be passive like this. Our 'Demon Lord' plan must be implemented as soon as possible."

Jiang Ruolong, who is of higher generation and is Jiang Banzi's biological father, said.

"The Demon Lord's plan... we also want to complete it as soon as possible, but... now the last step has been stuck for so long, there is really nothing we can do. After all... the immortal weapons and magic tools themselves are the 'rent' we have to pay to the Weapon Sect for dominating this world. These are not things we should use at all. It is too difficult for us to master them..."

Jiang Shengtian sighed.

"But if the Demon Lord's plan cannot be implemented smoothly, we will have no way to deal with the Rebirth Society."

"We can only wait. We have waited for so many years. Moreover, the plan has been pushed to the final stage. We don't mind waiting another ten or eight years... If the situation changes too quickly... we can only start a world-destroying war."

"No! Rebirth will not allow this to happen. If we really do this, it will be equivalent to forcing Rebirth to go to war with us in advance."

"Over the years, their power has obviously been expanding rapidly, especially in recent years. According to the feedback fluctuations generated by the star gate from various parties, their strength is getting stronger and stronger... We may not have ten or eight years left."

As they discussed, their brows became increasingly heavy.

After a while, Jiang Ruolong asked, "What did the Xie family say?"

"They have a very tough attitude towards the Rebirth Society, which is why the Rebirth Society has placed its focus on us. After all, many of our personnel and equipment were withdrawn that year. If it weren't for the breakthrough of the Heavenly Venerable, which made the ancestors reluctant to hand over this world, we would not exist at all."

When Jiang Shengtian mentioned the word "Tianzun", he was obviously very excited.

There was also confidence in his tone: "The reason why Xuelong didn't attack us now is that he is afraid of Tianzun. After all, they have been out of contact for so long, and they don't know how much Tianzun has grown. Maybe... he has become my sect's Daozi."

Not only Jiang Shengtian, but several other people also had smiles on their faces.

It was clearly time for a change in the world's managers, but the Jiang family dared to stay and even maintained their position as the world's overlord until now, because they saw that the Xuelong Xie family did not have the courage to completely offend the Jiang family.

"They don't dare to take action, but the Rebirth Society has no such concerns..."

Qi Renjie said.

"Rebirth Society..."

Jiang Shengtian pondered for a while before saying, "You say... Is the Rebirth Society just bluffing? The purpose is to intimidate us so that we dare not act rashly, so that they can infiltrate this world under our jurisdiction little by little?"

"This speculation has been going on for more than ten years, but before the Rebirth Society... or before the Moon Demon Empire came... or even when we were still in contact with the Weapon Sect, the ancestor did mention that they had opened up a new battlefield... This is consistent with the origin of the Rebirth Society."

Jiang Ruolong shook his head: "But it doesn't make much sense to say this now. We just need to know that we urgently need to implement the 'Demon Lord' plan. On the one hand, we need to get in touch with the Weapon Sect. On the other hand, we also need to use the power of the 'Demon Lord' to force the Rebirth Society to come to the negotiation table, or even borrow their power to return to the Weapon Sect. As long as we can return to the Weapon Sect, it doesn't matter if we give this world to them."

His words made the others nod at the same time.

Huiqi Sect.

This is their only request at the moment. Everything else doesn't matter.

Whether this world is destroyed or not has little to do with them.

At this time, Qi Renjie seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said, "Speaking of the unusual silence of the Rebirth Society during this period, I remembered a piece of news. According to the secret agent, there seems to be a traitor in the Rebirth Society? A high-level official is offering a reward for clues about him..."

"traitor?"

Jiang Shengtian's eyes lit up: "Who?"

"We are still investigating. After all, we are too slow in infiltrating the Rebirth Society."

"Report to me as soon as you have any news."

Jiang Shengtian said solemnly.

How to deal with those demons and monsters in the Rebirth Society who call themselves the "Moon Demon Empire"...

You can never be too cautious.

At this moment, Jiang Shengtian seemed to notice something and suddenly asked, "What happened?"

Soon a voice came from outside: "An accident happened in the Shangguan family. An assassin broke into the Shangguan family and assassinated Shangguan Jinlong."

"Shangguan Jinlong was assassinated?"

Qi Renjie was a little surprised: "I'm quite optimistic about him... He has a good chance of making further progress and entering the sixth level of the sky. By then, he can serve our Jiang family for decades more."

"They are just a bunch of servants. If they die, they die. Let them choose new ones."

Jiang Ruolong waved his hand and said indifferently.

"To dare to come to the imperial capital and kill someone is no small matter."

Jiang Shengtian's expression turned cold: "Whether it is the internal struggle among the servants or the reckless behavior of other forces, we must not tolerate it! Renjie, you go to the Shangguan family and investigate it yourself to find out who did it! After finding out, no matter who it is, even if it is from the Xuelong Xie family, they should be arrested or killed!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly: "This is outrageous. They dare to come to Zhaixing Mountain to kill people. This behavior has already crossed the bottom line! We must let the world understand our attitude, otherwise, they will still think that our Jiang family is easy to bully."

Qi Renjie nodded.

Jiang Ruolong and others thought about it for a moment and felt that what Jiang Shengtian said made sense.

Not to mention that the person who died was Shangguan Jinlong, even if it was any random person who dared to kill people in the imperial capital, it would be a provocation to their Chixing royal family. Such provocateurs, no matter their identities or origins, would be killed without mercy.

"I'll go right away."

Qi Renjie stood up.

But at this moment, a ring suddenly rang outside.

There were also shouts of shock and anger: "There's an assassin!"

And as the shouts came, a huge aura was rapidly approaching the Zhenxiu Hall where they were.

Obviously, the other party was coming for them.

"How dare you come to Zhaixing Mountain and act wild!"

Jiang Ruolong shouted angrily.

Qi Renjie glanced at an instrument in his hand: "Soul strength 11.21, newly promoted to Divine Will Martial Saint."

"Call the commander, or let Lei Ting handle it."

Jiang Shengtian Dao.

"Let me do it."

At this time, the man who was less than 30 years old and had been silent all this time spoke.

He is Jiang Xuntian.

The most outstanding prince of the younger generation of the Jiang family was unanimously regarded by the top leaders of the Jiang family as the future head of the family, and was even trained to be a god.

At the age of twenty-one, he became a Martial Saint.

Today, he has gone one step further and entered the realm of divine will.

"There are only a few masters of divine will. This man might be the murderer of Shangguan Jinlong... It would be better to let Commander Banzi or Lei Ting handle it properly."

“It’s the same divine will, but the difference between divine will and divine will is sometimes greater than that between humans and dogs.”

Jiang Xuntian said calmly, "Besides, how can the martial arts practiced by this servant be comparable to mine?"

Jiang Ruolong listened, smiled and nodded: "Well said."

He glanced at Jiang Shengtian and said, "Since Xuntian is interested, let him go. After all, he is just a newly promoted God. How strong can he be? Besides, aren't we watching? Three Gods and a Martial Saint, this kind of power can easily wipe out the resistance of the martial arts world in an entire continent."

Jiang Shengtian listened, thinking of his nephew's undefeated record since he became a martial saint, and he didn't know what to say. He just said, "Be careful, wear your robes and weapons. Remember, even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit."

"I know it well."

Jiang Xuntian nodded lightly.

Then he opened the door first and walked out of the meeting room.

Jiang Shengtian and others followed closely behind.

As they pushed the door open, they saw a figure breaking through the guards' blockade and leaping in.
