On our wedding day, I castrated my fiancée's white moonlight.

After a brief silence.

The elderly man at the head of the group asked, "What does everyone think?"

A red-faced old man scoffed disdainfully, "So what if they're wiped out? I've had my eye on the Tang Clan for a long time!"

"A bunch of relatives of the imperial family, using the name of our reclusive Tang Clan, are utterly rubbish when it comes to mechanisms, weapon forging, and poison production!"

"If it weren't for the fact that they make offerings every year, I would have slapped them to death!"

"Good riddance! Absolutely fantastic!"

The ruddy-faced old man clapped and cheered!

The other elderly people in the meeting room remained completely unmoved!

It seems they have no goodwill towards this secular Tang Clan either.

The white-haired elder at the head of the group said calmly, "That's not the problem! It's something else!"

"This! You'll definitely be interested!"

"Oh? Elder, what is it?"

The thirty-odd elders present all turned around and stared at the head elder!

With a wave of his hand, the reclusive Tang Clan Grand Elder sent an iron box flying from his fingertip storage ring, which landed on the long table in the conference room!

Swish-!

Everyone looked over curiously!

The elder opened the iron box and took out a strangely shaped iron lump that looked like a paddle!

It was the Barrett that Tang Weilong and his son Tang Qi stole from Tang Miaoyi!

The moment they saw Barrett, all the experts who were skilled in mechanisms, hidden weapons, and poisons felt their eyelids twitch, and some even stood up abruptly, a strange sense of crisis flashing through their hearts!

"Elder, what is this?"

The red-faced old man asked, his breathing rapid.

"Seventh Elder! If I remember correctly, you are a seventh-level Martial Grandmaster, right?" The First Elder looked at the red-faced old man.

The red-faced old man said arrogantly, "In the past few years, I've managed to advance a small realm; I'm now an eighth-level Martial Grandmaster!"

"Elder, why are you asking this? Is it related to this item?"

The First Elder smiled without saying a word, slowly picked up the Barrett rifle, and said to the red-faced old man, "Seventh Elder! Go all out and use your protective aura to defend!"

The red-faced old man's expression hardened; the Grand Elder didn't seem to be joking!

Immediately gather protective energy!

A pale yellow energy barrier condensed in front of him!

boom--!

The Barrett exploded with a thunderous roar, and the bullet was fired!

With a "crack," the red-faced old man's protective aura exploded.

A bullet the size of a finger pierced his chest with a loud 'thud'. If it weren't for the breastplate firmly blocking the bullet, he would definitely have been injured!

"What...what kind of weapon is this?"

"Hiss! This thing can break through the protective aura of a Martial Grandmaster?"

The thirty-odd people in the meeting room were dumbfounded!

The Grand Elder, holding the Barrett rifle, said, "I have personally tested this item! Within a hundred meters, it can break through the protective aura of a Martial Grandmaster!"

"What's even more terrifying is that this thing's attack range exceeds one kilometer!"

"Although, once its attack range exceeds one hundred meters, it cannot break through the Martial Grandmaster's protective aura!"

"However, below the Martial Grandmaster level, within a thousand meters! A sniper can be killed within three breaths! Extremely high accuracy!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

The entire room fell silent!

The group of high-ranking members of the reclusive Tang Clan all gaped, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets in shock: "Within a thousand meters, can they snipe anyone below the Martial Grandmaster level?"

"Even the strongest and number one of the seventy-two ultimate techniques of my reclusive Tang Sect cannot achieve this!"

"Hiss—! This is a divine artifact!"

……

Ye Fan was unaware that he had been targeted by the reclusive Tang Sect.

Upon returning to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, a luxurious carriage stopped at the city gate.

An old eunuch stepped forward: "Your Highness, His Majesty requests your presence!"

Ye Fan frowned. Why was Li Youruo not staying in the palace? Why did she come out to meet him?

Just as he climbed into the luxurious carriage, he was surprised to see Li Youruo, dressed in a dragon robe, kneeling on the ground: "Master! You're back! Please take a seat!"

Holy crap?

Owner?

"Li Youruo, what are you doing?"

Ye Fan's lips twitched.

Although he supported Li Youruo to ascend the throne and become empress, he didn't have any strange hobbies at heart!

I never expected that Li Youruo would actually call him master!

If the entire court of the Great Xia Dynasty saw or heard this, they would be scared to death!

Li Youruo raised her head, a pitiful expression on her face: "You gave me everything! In public, I am the Emperor of Great Xia! But in private, you are my master!"

Ye Fan was speechless!

"Master! The information you asked me to investigate a few days ago has yielded some results!"

Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat: "In what way?"

Li Youruo said, "The reclusive family, the Ye family!"

Ye Fan's expression turned serious. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Continue!"

"yes!"

Li Youruo dared not be negligent.

He took a document from a box beside him and handed it to Ye Fan, explaining, "These are secret documents from the Great Xia Imperial Palace! They should be from my father's investigations of reclusive families, with the Ye family having the most information!"

"Your father, Ye Zhengrong..."

Li Youruo paused for a moment, and only dared to continue after noticing that Ye Fan's expression did not change: "He was a traitor to the reclusive Ye family! Later, he was expelled from the Ye family! Later, your father joined the army and rose all the way to the position of general."

"During that time, I encountered your mother, but everything about her had been torn up."

Ye Fan turned to one of the pages of the document!

Sure enough, the tear was fresh, it must have been torn off recently!

Ye Fan had a vague feeling that someone didn't want him to know anything about his mother!

"As for Ye Zhengrong, his last appearance was in the northern border of Great Xia! On the last page of the file, Li Fuyuan wrote a comment: Is Ye Zhengrong alive or dead?"

"Following this sentence, there was a question mark, and then another sentence: Is it related to the Xuanyuan clan?"

Ye Fan looked down at the documents and pondered for a moment.

Xuanyuan clan?

Is it the family my mother belongs to? Or is the Xuanyuan clan also a reclusive family?

"Is that all? Is there anything else?"

Li Youruo said, "Time is limited, so for now we can only search within the territory of Great Xia!"

"I also sent spies to other countries to investigate, but there haven't been many leads in the short term."

"However, recently, the Great Zhou Dragon Kingdom is going to hold a grand auction, and my people have received information that there is a high chance that people from reclusive families will attend!"

Li Youruo stated that the reclusive family is extremely mysterious!

Some powerful forces, families, and even dynasties in the secular world act as their representatives in the secular world!

But they usually keep a deep secret and don't get involved in ordinary people's affairs, so there's almost no news about them.

Li Youruo said, "Master! If you wish to make contact with reclusive families, this auction is an excellent opportunity!"

Ye Fan's heart stirred slightly!

When he left the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he invited Consort Xiao Rong to come back with him. Consort Xiao Rong said that she wanted to host an important auction in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Could this be the auction of this reclusive family?

"Aren't these reclusive families supposed to be detached from worldly affairs? What kind of auction could possibly attract them?"

Ye Fan closed his eyes!

He absolutely has to go to this auction!

Since we still have time, let's head back to the Prince's Mansion first!

Just as she was about to get out of the car, Li Youruo suddenly said, "Master, I don't have to go back tonight!"

Ye Fan frowned: "Li Youruo, mind your place!"

Watching Ye Fan's retreating figure as he got out of the car, Li Youruo gritted her teeth: "Ye Fan! You wait! One day, I'll have you pinned down..."

talking.

Recalling everything that happened on her wedding day, Li Youruo's face turned red again!

On the way back, Ye Fan called Wang Danian over: "The Wang Mansion is short-handed! This trip to the Great Zhou almost went wrong!"

"We only brought five hundred men. If we had five thousand, each equipped with an AK-47, we could have easily swept through the Great Zhou Dynasty and wouldn't be in such a sorry state!"

Wang Danian was dumbfounded!

What the hell!

The prince called this trip to the Great Zhou a disastrous one?

Damn it! That's absolutely amazing!

They stormed into the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty! They wiped out the Tang Clan's headquarters! Even with the Great Zhou Crown Prince leading an attack, they managed to escape unscathed? This is unprecedented in the entire history of the Great Xia and Great Zhou empires!

This is considered pathetic?! Your Highness, are you trying to reach the heavens?!
