Chapter 2447: Chapter 2448: White Figure
Fu Niu Mountain.
True Martial Daoist Temple.
Lü Zhongxuan looked at the message in his hand with a gleeful smile.
Lv Feichen couldn’t help but ask, "Honorable One, what happy news has come to make you so pleased?"
"Oh, it’s nothing much, just some news from outside. I didn’t expect the second young master of the Shen Family would actually emerge from seclusion. And right after emerging, he directly headed to the Pharmacists’ Alliance to pick a fight with the Xuan Tian Empress!"
Of course, Lv Feichen understood there must be a reason behind this, but the strict hierarchy forbade him from asking more.
The message in Lü Zhongxuan’s hand was indeed about the matter involving Shen Muyu and Xue An.
The one who sent it to him was his superior, that black-clothed man.
The black-clothed man clearly stated in the message that Lü Zhongxuan should spare no expense and make every effort to monitor the development of this matter, and immediately report any situation to him.
This alone wouldn’t make Lü Zhongxuan so happy. What truly pleased him was the power manifested between the lines by the black-clothed man.
As a trusted subordinate of the black-clothed man, Lü Zhongxuan clearly felt that the boss had again made significant progress in power.
No doubt, this must be a reward from the big shots beyond the starry skies.
If his boss’s power keeps growing stronger, then wouldn’t his own status rise with the tide?
This was the reason Lü Zhongxuan was so happy.
After laughing for a while, Lü Zhongxuan’s expression turned serious.
"Feichen!"
"I am here!"
"Take a few people and head to the Pharmacists’ Alliance now, especially closely monitor the Xuan Tian Empress and the movements of Xue An as he breaks seclusion. Report any developments to me immediately!"
"Yes!" Lv Feichen immediately accepted the order and prepared to leave.
"Also, remember to conceal your identity well. Do not let others find out!"
"Understood!"
Lv Feichen turned and left with his team.
Just as he and his team were heading to the Pharmacists’ Alliance, Si Mingqi was caught in a huge crisis.
At this moment, within the temporary base of the Si Family, the atmosphere was very somber.
Si Mingqi sat in the middle, his face pale, while the Si Family members stood below him, faces full of defiance.
"What? You won’t even listen to me now? Are you trying to rebel?" Si Mingqi shouted angrily.
One of them sneered and said, "Family Head, you’re being too subjective. When did we say we wouldn’t listen to you?"
"So what are you doing now?" Si Mingqi asked angrily.
"We’re merely discussing what the Si Family should do next. Are we really going to stay in this wretched place?"
"Exactly! The entire Sky Beyond the Skies is becoming more chaotic due to the upcoming Bai Family Assembly, and there are other families within the Pharmacists’ Alliance keeping a close watch on us. I think our priority should be to hide and preserve our strength, not waste away here!"
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
These words sparked a chorus of agreement.
Si Mingqi’s heart gradually sank, as this was evidently a sign of his control slipping away.
In such a situation, anger not only fails to solve the problem but also easily exacerbates conflict.
Thus, he forcibly calmed his anger, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.
"I understand everyone’s feelings, and indeed, our Si Family is at a critical juncture between life and death."
"But I still stand by my words: Mr. Xue is about to emerge, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Si Family. If we seize it, not only can we preserve our power, but we can also shine brightly in the future. So if we give up now, wouldn’t it be too regrettable?"
Si Mingqi reasoned with them.
But as soon as he finished, the person who garnered everyone’s support earlier coldly laughed and said, "Family Head Si, you’ve said this dozens of times lately. We’re all tired of hearing it, but who has seen the Mr. Xue you speak of break out?"
"On the contrary, the peerless genius from the Shen Family has come challenging, and even if Mr. Xue emerges, what then? Won’t he still fall at the Shen Family’s sword?"
This person’s eloquence stirred up everyone’s emotions with a few words.
Witnessing this scenario, Si Mingqi ground his teeth and glared fiercely at the speaker.
"Si Hongtao, don’t push your luck!"
"Ha ha, Si Mingqi? Is it I who is excessive, or is it you?" Si Hongtao sneered dismissively.
Si Mingqi looked as if he might explode with rage.
He knew well that Si Hongtao had his reasons for acting this way.
This Si Hongtao was most closely connected with the deceased Si Yicheng, even always considering Si Yicheng as his mentor.
It was precisely due to this that after Si Yicheng’s death, Si Hongtao harbored resentment and redirected all his fury toward Si Mingqi.
Si Mingqi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down once more.
"Si Hongtao, is this the tone you use to speak to the Family Head?"
"Hahaha, Si Mingqi, you truly consider yourself the Family Head! Let me tell you honestly, in my view, you’re merely a treacherous villain who murdered his father, harmed his brother, and stabbed benefactors in the back. What kind of Family Head are you?"
With these accusations, the conflict between Si Hongtao and Si Mingqi finally erupted to an intense, heated state.
Si Mingqi was utterly angry and just about to explode when he noticed Si Hongtao’s murderous intent, causing unease in his heart.
Then, he noticed many Si Family members subtly standing behind Si Hongtao.
Others stood far away, seemingly keeping out of it.
Only a third of the people stood by him.
This realization made Si Mingqi’s eyelids twitch uncontrollably.
Si Hongtao then laughed arrogantly, "What? Are you scared? Si Mingqi, if you know what’s good for you, hand over the position of Family Head today, or else..."
Thud!
Before finishing his sentence, Si Hongtao’s head soared into the air, gushing with blood.
This scene was so sudden that it stunned everyone from the Si Family.
Si Mingqi was utterly shocked.
At that moment, Si Hongtao’s head hit the ground, his face still frozen in confusion and disbelief from the moment of his death.
Seemingly unable to believe how he ended up dead just like that.
Meanwhile, before Si Hongtao, a mysterious white figure gradually appeared.
Seeing this familiar figure, Si Mingqi’s heart jumped wildly as he stood up in delight.
"Xue... Mr. Xue?"
This name made everyone present tremble with fear.
Yet unexpectedly, the white figure didn’t respond to Si Mingqi’s words, merely glancing coldly at the people standing behind Si Hongtao.
Where his gaze fell, these people were forced to kneel by an overpowering force, unable to raise their heads.
This unspoken intimidation brought chills to everyone.
Si Mingqi fell to his knees with a thud, and with great excitement said, "Mr. Xue, you have finally emerged!"
But the white figure still didn’t utter a word, merely glanced sideways at him.
In that instant, Si Mingqi felt a cold dread piercing his lungs, but what startled him the most was that the white figure’s face was completely unclear.
At that moment, the white figure rose and walked out.
Si Mingqi shuddered all over, immediately stood up and followed him, but as soon as he exited the door, the white figure had already vanished entirely.
