Chapter 13030 The Strongest in the World

After a quarter of an hour of intense discussion, time seemed to freeze, and every second passed with the blood and sacrifice of the Jiang family's children.

Finally, after the heavy news of another warrior's fall came, a trace of determination flashed in the eyes of the dark guard leader. He slowly stood up, and his voice penetrated the noise in the room: "For the future of the Jiang family, I, the dark guard leader, am willing to take on this important task."

With his statement, the entire conference room seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but then a more solemn atmosphere spread. The dark guards and secret guards, the two most powerful forces of the Jiang family, began to gather quickly.

They shuttled through every corner of the Jiang family like ghosts, silently, but everywhere. The dark guards built an invisible line of defense for the family with their extraordinary concealment and assassination abilities; while the secret guards ensured the stability and security of the family with their tight intelligence network and efficient execution.

The two joined forces, like an airtight net, tightly wrapped the entire Jiang family. Under the protection of this net, every member of the Jiang family felt unprecedented peace of mind and strength.

They knew that no matter how fierce the storm outside was, as long as there were secret guards and secret guards, the Jiang family would not fall, and their glory and inheritance would continue forever.

…

In a corner of Jiangcheng, this ancient and prosperous city, there is an inconspicuous tavern. The dim light shines through the half-closed window lattice and sprinkles on the mottled wooden table, creating a warm and mysterious atmosphere.

In the tavern, there is a bustling crowd, but there is also a quiet corner occupied by two ordinary guests-Ling Xiao and Jin Yan.

We sat at a slightly old wooden table, under which were placed several dishes of wine and two pots of warm sake. Ling Xiao took a sip of the wine, which seemed to have the precipitation of years, slid into his throat, turned into a warm current, and dispelled some fatigue.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao forced a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, with mixed feelings in his heart. I know the grievances and entanglements between me and the Holy Hall. This is an irreconcilable opposition, just like darkness and light, which can never coexist.

Ling Xiao shook his head heavily, with a smile in his eyes. "That's wrong, Jin Yan. That's called insidious, that's called stupid. The reason why he said that is because he suffered from the loss of culture, and he knows how to appreciate the wisdom and strategy in it."

Jin Yan heard this and grinned. This laugh was hearty and direct. "Old boy, you hate his insidious look, it's so damn mean. Yes, to be honest, the feeling of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away is really exciting."

Ling Xiao heard this, and his eyes became stern and deep. I hurriedly looked at the distant place in the tavern shrouded in the night, as if I could penetrate the barrier of time and space and see Long Chen in the distance.

Speaking of that, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness. "And... does he think that watching us tremble in the fear of the unknown, this psychological warfare game is less interesting than a direct physical confrontation?" There was a hint of mischievous slowness in my words, as if I really enjoyed the feeling of being in control of everything.

Jin Yan seemed more casual. I sipped the wine with a satisfied smile on my face. After eight rounds of wine, I finally suppressed my curiosity and asked Ling Xiao: "Old boy, are we going to continue? These Jiang family guys are probably still looking for you all over the city."

The two chatted more and more deeply, and the topic inadvertently touched the softest part of my heart, and a touch of easily detectable sadness filled the air. The quiet voices in the tavern seemed to gradually fade away, leaving only the deep friendship between the seven of us.

However, the warm atmosphere did not last too long. Ling Xiao's brows suddenly frowned, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.

"I also know where the seventh brother is now and whether he is safe. The eight of us brothers once fought side by side and drank fine wine together. Such days seem to be just yesterday, but they are still far away. Whenever it is late at night, you will always think of the days you spent together, and your heart is full of emotion."

Jin Yan sighed heavily, his eyes revealing nostalgia for the past.

"But you are more worried about Yuenan's situation. Since we separated this time, you haven't received any news from him for such a long time, not even the slightest feeling. That makes you feel uneasy, which means you may be in a distant place that you can't reach, facing challenges that you can't imagine."

"Little brother, he is right, you don't feel that way. It's like a kind of mysterious attraction that makes you believe that no matter how far apart you are, you will meet again one day. When the time comes, the eight of us brothers must drink slowly and painfully, turning the thoughts and stories of those years into the mellowness and sweetness of the wine."

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and there was neither cunning nor confidence in this smile. "That's right, Jin Yan." I said hurriedly, "Your little Luotian Demon Shadow clone, these carefully prepared chess pieces, have not been discovered and eliminated by the Jiang family. That means we haven't used our most powerful trump card yet. You have to be more cautious in every step that follows."

Jin Yan's words were full of unquestionable intimacy. I patted Ling Xiao's shoulder, with a gleam of trust and encouragement in my eyes.

And Yue Nan must have really joined the Holy Hall before reincarnation as Jin Yan said. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge and test for the eight of us.

"Jin Yan, you have an inexplicable feeling, a kind of tacit understanding and connection between brothers telling you that you will meet Long Chen again soon. That feeling comes not from your personal ability, but from the inseparable bond between the eight of you."

My eyes are deep, often passing over the bustling street scene in the window, and then quickly retracted, as if thinking about some far-reaching plan.

Jin Yan heard the words, and a relieved smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. There was neither expectation nor coolness in this smile.

The two smiled at each other, and this tacit understanding and trust were conveyed audibly in that smile. The hustle and bustle in the tavern seemed to be related to us. We were just immersed in our own world, enjoying the rare tranquility and relaxation.

Jin Yan was also annoyed when he heard the words, but smiled and moved closer. "Yes, yes, you are uneducated, you are the better one. You should have taught me a lesson before, so that you can learn how to be even more uneducated and brainless."

"Don't worry, old boy. Sister-in-law, you are like the brightest star in the sky, no matter where you are, you can illuminate your own path. Good people are not blessed by heaven, you doubt that you will not only be fine, but will become more dazzling in every reincarnation. With sister-in-law's luck, even if she is reincarnated, she will definitely be the most dazzling existence in Bai Ze Xiaolu, no one can match her."
