Unfortunately, even though they were unhappy in their hearts, everyone, including Duanmu Huanghun, seemed to be afraid of something. They could not react for a while.
Lu Chen couldn"t help but be curious.This old man who called himself the Second Boss, just what kind of background did he have?
From the moment he entered the door until now, he had never heard Duanmu w.a.n.g and the others mention it.
To be able to become the second in command of the Duanmu family, he should have a high status.
At least in this kind of situation, he should have gone on stage earlier!However, during this period of time, Lu Chen had interacted with the people of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and gained quite a bit of experience.
For a moment, he thought of a possibility.Perhaps most of the people in the Duanmu family valued the overall situation. At the very least, they appeared to be extremely united on the surface.
Perhaps this Second Boss was an exception, which was why he deliberately jumped out at such a critical juncture.Without waiting for Lu Chen to continue connecting the dots, he saw this old man, who looked like an uninvited guest, walk towards him with a faint smile on his face.
"You are Divine Doctor Lu, right? Indeed, he looked exactly the same as Lu Qingtian! However, you are now even more eye-catching in the Celestial Sect of Wonders than Lu Qingtian was in the past! "Is this a victory over a victor?"
The elder looked at Lu Chen again and said with a faint smile.However, the tone was somewhat overbearing and meaningful.
Lu Chen could sense that this old man was suspicious of him.
Without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, a trace of displeasure appeared on his face, and he immediately said with a serious expression:
"Mr Lu, was the proposal to go to the cemetery put forward by you?"
Faced with the other party"s questioning, Lu Chen slightly raised his brows and calmly said:"That"s right!" This was the suggestion of this junior. It was also the only solution that could solve the problem that was on the head of the Duanmu family. "I have no choice but to do it!"
"Otherwise, as time pa.s.ses, the remnants of the soul imprint will become chaotic again. Clan Head Duanmu"s life is in danger!"
The elder snorted coldly and said impolitely, "The Duanmu family is in a state of extreme suffering. The Sima family is already eyeing them covetously. They are ready to pounce and bite at any moment."
"Everyone knows very well what kind of place that graveyard is. Mister Lu, are you bringing our Duanmu Family into a dangerous situation? "
"From what I see, you"re not here to save our Patriarch, but rather, to bring our Duanmu Family into the abyss, right?"As the old man finished his sentence, the words became even more unpleasant to hear.
He simply regarded Lu Chen as someone who wanted to help the Sima Family overturn the Duanmu Family.
"Elder Wu Guang, this is the decision of all of us, so please do not delay us any longer. If you have anything to say, please come back."
Without waiting for the upper echelons of the Duanmu family to react, Duanmu immediately stepped forward.
Firstly, he was the one who invited Lu Chen over.
Secondly, Duanmu Pengcheng"s life could be said to be in Lu Chen"s hands.No matter what, she had to stand up and stop Duanmu Wugong from spouting nonsense.
Furthermore, time was of the essence. Even Lu Chen felt a sense of urgency and couldn"t afford to delay any longer.
Hearing Duanmu"s words, Lu Chen seemed to have understood something.
Duanmu Wu Guang called himself the Second Leader, but Duanmu Fu only called himself and the Elder.
Lu Chen subconsciously looked at the other elders" reactions.Disdain, indignant...
It seemed like this so-called Second Boss was only wishful thinking. No one was convinced of his strength, and some were even full of disdain.From the looks of it, Lu Chen did not even need to think to guess that Duanmu Wu Guang might really be a character that was not very pleasing to the eyes in the Duanmu Family.
He, as the Second Leader, might be like an Acting Patriarch who was on the board.
His ident.i.ty was there, but he had no real power.This kind of person was more pa.s.sionate about power, so they would seize the opportunity to do whatever they wanted.
For example, in the current situation.
Only, Lu Chen noticed that Duanmu Wu Guang"s gaze would occasionally land on Duanmu Peng Cheng.This fellow actually wanted to covet Duanmu Pengcheng"s position of Patriarch?
This was too much.Even if he was barely able to reach that position, would he be able to sit stably?
However, according to the current situation, there was a high possibility of this happening.Otherwise, even if Duanmu Wu Guang was in dire straits, he would not have jumped out at this moment, as this was too unwise.
Of course, if this old fellow had long since planned to take over the position of Patriarch after Duanmu Pengcheng"s life ended, it would have been reasonable for him to have jumped out at this time.Duanmu Pengcheng was still holding his breath. There was no possibility of re-electing the family head, so he just needed to wait.
According to his original calculations, Duanmu Pengcheng would only have three months to live.However, now that he heard that someone could deal with his problems and save him, it would be strange if Duanmu was not in a hurry.
Thus, he hurried over. Naturally, he wanted to find out what was going on. At the same time, he did his best to prevent this from happening.
Now that Duanmu Pengcheng had safely fallen asleep and his aura was stable, the last bit of doubt in his heart had disappeared without a trace.
To Duanmu Wu Guang, the current situation was simply unacceptable.
Thus, no matter what, he had to stop Lu Chen from entering the tomb.
Duanmu Wu Guang glared at Duanmu Fu and said angrily:"Humph!" Wait till you come back? What if he encountered danger? If all of you are so impulsive, doesn"t that mean that the Duanmu Family is in danger? "
"As the second in command of the Duanmu family, how could I, Duanmu w.a.n.guang, allow you two to take such a huge risk?"
"If I go to this tomb, it will be a matter of whether I can come back or not, let alone save someone. I"ll put my word here today, without my permission, none of you can go. "Duanmu Wu Guang"s face turned red as his sinister gaze swept over everyone. Finally, it landed on Lu Chen with a tinge of provocation.
"Wu Guang, have you caused enough trouble? There are some things that you don"t want to talk about. If you continue like this, the Duanmu family might not be able to keep you here anymore!"
Among the higher-ups of the Duanmu family, an old man wearing a Chinese tunic walked out. A trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes.At the same time, the old man raised his hand to check his watch. Half an hour had pa.s.sed before he realized it, and he was getting more and more anxious.
But now that Duanmu Wu Guang had appeared, he didn"t think it was a coincidence.
The old man was already confident that the person commanding him from behind, Duanmu Wuguang, had most likely already issued a death order.
Normally speaking, even if Duanmu Wuguang had been given a hundred times more courage, he would not have been able to say such words so decisively.
As the saying goes, greed infects one"s heart. It was all about the situation that was currently taking place between Duanmu Wuguang and himself.Seeing this elder"s appearance at this time, even Lu Chen couldn"t help but feel a chill in his heart.
He could vaguely feel that the true energy within this old man"s body was beginning to circulate within his body, ready to act. It was obvious that he was already fully prepared to act.
