Chapter 425: Chapter 445: I’m Not Dead Yet, The Sky Won’t Collapse _1

Wang Family Mansion.

In the huge living room, many people were sitting, but no one spoke. Everyone’s faces were solemn, as if facing a formidable opponent, and the air in the living room seemed to have solidified.

They were waiting.

The sound of a car came from outside followed by footsteps. Three people walked in. The one in front was an old man with white hair and eyebrows. His face was ruddy, his eyes were deep and divine, and there seemed to be a faint flicker of brilliance opening and closing between his eyes.

All the people in the room, whether middle-aged men or white-haired old men, stood up in unison and respectfully saluted.

Wang Family Ancestor Wang Lurong.

The oldest, highest-ranking, and most powerful person in the Wang family, and also the "Dinghai Shenzhen" of the Wang family.

Wang Fuyuan, another Innate Great Grandmaster of the Wang family, was one generation younger than Wang Lurong and had to call him uncle. He was currently away from Xijing, handling a matter.

Wang Lurong sat in the center of the living room sofa and waved his hand, "Sit down."

The crowd cautiously took their seats.

Wang Lurong’s eyes swept over the tense crowd, and said lightly, "No need to be so tense. Both waves of action underestimated the enemy. Six grandmasters and two masters, our Wang family has indeed not suffered such a heavy blow for many years, but I am not dead yet, and the Wang family will not collapse."

Upon hearing Wang Lurong’s words, everyone’s expressions relaxed slightly, and they quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Everyone was afraid.

Although Wang Lurong had long since stopped involving himself in matters and lived a secluded life, his status in the Wang family was still unparalleled, and he had the absolute decision-making power.

As long as Wang Lurong wanted, with one word, he could decide the head of the Wang family, and no one would dare to refute it.

Wang Lurong’s gaze swept over the crowd, "Can anyone explain the intricacies of the whole incident to me?"

Wang De Ping stood up with a guilty and ashamed expression, "The root cause of this matter is the resentment between my grandson Wang Jianbo and Lin Chen. He and Lin Chen’s wife Chu Jiaxue were university classmates. Jianbo admired Jiaxue, but found out she was already married to Lin Chen. Later, he fell for the daughter of Zuo Wenxuan from the Linhai Zuo Family, only to find out that Zuo Wenxuan’s daughter was Lin Chen’s lover, and Chu Jiaxue even knew about it... "

"Jianbo, provoked by this, became resentful and sought help from the people under the Guan Family in Linhai to kidnap Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue, intending to avenge the disgrace. However, the Guan Family members were defeated by Lin Chen and turned to hunt down Jianbo to save their own lives. Jianbo, being on guard, managed to escape the disaster."

" A few days ago, Jianbo ran into Lin Chen at a shopping mall, and he thought Lin Chen would surely seek revenge. Since Jianbo was not a cultivator himself, he wanted to take the initiative, so he called Lin Chen to settle the grudge... "

Wang Lurong waved his hand, "Alright, I know about the rest. Failed to kill, but got killed instead... "

The crowd was ashamed. The first wave could be excused, as no investigation had been done beforehand and no one knew of Lin Chen’s strength, so the mistake was understandable. However, the second wave was rather embarrassing.

They failed in the first round and made an even bigger mistake in the second round, incurring losses several times bigger than the first round.

In the first round, one grandmaster and two masters were killed. In the second round, five grandmasters were killed. Nine grandmasters of the Wang family were suddenly reduced to three, with only three grandmasters left in the entire family.

There were naturally many people who resented Wang De Ping. After all, the Wang family was huge with many branches, and these grandmasters were basically the pillars of various branches of the Wang family. Now, due to the grudge between Wang Jianbo and Lin Chen, they all lost their lives in battle.

Although they all belonged to the Wang family, the size of the family meant there were numerous smaller families. It was different to fight for one’s own grandson compared to fighting for the grandson of a cousin.

At present, there were still two Innate Great Grandmasters holding the Wang family together. Otherwise, with such heavy losses alone, the family’s internal conflicts might arise and lead to division.

"Ancestor, according to Wang Fuhai’s words before his death, Lin Chen has a mysterious Innate Great Grandmaster behind him. What should we do now?"

Wang Lurong’s expression was calm, "Call Fuyuan to come back, and then issue a Collaborative Investigation Order from the Wang family to search for Lin Chen’s whereabouts."

The crowd was taken aback, and Wang Chengfeng, the head of the Wang family, carefully asked, "Issue a Collaborative Investigation Order?"

Wang Lurong turned his head to look at Wang Chengfeng, "If you can find Lin Chen, this order doesn’t need to be issued. After all, if this matter becomes a big deal, it’s the Wang family’s reputation that’s at stake."

Wang Chengfeng’s face flushed. If he could find Lin Chen, why would they be sitting here awkwardly?

Hadn’t they run out of options?

Wang Chengfeng hastily volunteered, "I’ll issue the Collaborative Investigation Order right away!"

Wang Lurong’s gaze swept over the crowd, "The blood of our Wang family members cannot be shed in vain. No matter what the origin of the matter, only by killing Lin Chen can we wash away this humiliation. Also, I would like to meet the Innate Great Grandmaster hiding behind him and see who this divine being is..."
