High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

At the same time, in an elegant courtyard.

Accompanied by hurried footsteps, a middle-aged man came to the outside, banging on the wooden door and saying urgently, "Something terrible has happened, brother!"

Two or three seconds later, a sound came from inside the room.

"Second brother, you're not young anymore, what's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

"Big brother, something's happened to third brother."

The people outside said quickly.

"What?!"

A gasp of surprise rang out from inside the room.

A gust of wind suddenly arose.

The next second, the wooden door was opened from the inside, and a man dressed in a black robe appeared.

"Second brother, what did you just say? Third brother is in trouble?"

"Yes, brother!"

As Song Wu spoke, he glanced around a few times. Although this was a forbidden area of ​​the Song family, no one would enter it under normal circumstances.

"Brother, let's go inside and talk."

"it is good."

The man in black nodded. After Song Wu entered the room, he glanced around a few times to make sure no one was eavesdropping before closing the door. He then turned around and asked seriously, "Second brother, you're not joking with me, are you?"

"Brother, do I look like the kind of person who would make this kind of joke?"

Song Wu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "Just now, I heard some news. There was a huge fire in the rainforest, and it seems that werewolves were burned to death inside."

"What?"

The man in the black robe was startled and quickly asked, "Rainforest? Which rainforest?"

"Which rainforest could it be? It's the one my third brother and the others went to, of course."

Song Wu stomped his foot on the ground.

"This time, wasn't the third brother taking John from the Revival Society to compete for the Azure Dragon Fruit? Isn't John a werewolf with werewolf blood flowing through his veins? When I heard this news, I had a bad feeling."

Because no matter the outcome, given Lao San's personality, even if he couldn't get back immediately, he would definitely call me to explain the situation. But by evening, there was still no news from him.

"and then?"

The man in the black robe looked grim.

He suddenly felt uneasy while he was practicing this afternoon.

He didn't think much of it, assuming it was because he had been cultivating for too long, and that drinking some calming tea had indeed made him feel much better.

So, after the second brother said that, could it be...?

"And then, and then..."

Song Wu's voice was almost choked with tears, "Then I tried calling Lao San's cell phone, again and again, but no one answered. I then tried calling John's cell phone, but no one answered that either. Big brother, this is bad!"

"Don't rush, don't rush."

The man in black robes reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "No matter what, the third brother is still a True Essence Realm martial artist, only one step away from entering the Celestial Realm. As long as those old monsters don't leave the mountain, there aren't many people in this world who can be killed."

"That's true, but brother, what if it's not martial artists who make the move, but those people from the Awakened Ones Association?"

Song Wu said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed man's face turned ugly.

Yes, the aristocratic families and the Awakeners Association have been engaged in open and covert struggles for years.

To give a simple example, in recent years, the Awakeners Association has been trying to obtain complete and peerless martial arts techniques from these aristocratic families.

These aristocratic families, of course, are not stupid.

These awakened individuals, relying on their innate awakened abilities, all possess combat power comparable to beast king-level ferocious beasts. If they were to obtain complete peerless martial arts techniques, what would become of them!

Will the land of Yan still have the soil for these aristocratic families to live on in the future?

This applies to peerless martial arts, and even more so to supreme martial arts above that; as for divine and demonic martial arts, that is even more impossible.

Therefore, there are often awakened individuals who target members of their families and then use special methods to obtain the martial arts techniques from their minds.

Although those people were later wanted by the Awakeners Association and regarded as traitors, who knows if they still had some connection with the Awakeners Association behind the scenes?

Now that the third brother has disappeared, could it be that he was also killed by the Awakened Association?

As the second brother just mentioned, a werewolf died in the flames, presumably at the hands of a fire-wielding awakened individual.

If that werewolf is John, then our third son is very likely in grave danger as well.

The key point is that the consequences of this incident may have only just begun!

John holds a high position in the Revival Society, and the people of Maple Kingdom are surprisingly united. Once they learn of this, they are likely to transfer their anger to the Song family.

At that time, the Song family's years of hard work will not only be in vain, but they will also have to pay a heavy price to quell the other party's anger.

However, the elders of the family would not let him off easily.

"No, don't rush."

The man in black robes said in a trembling voice, "Perhaps things aren't as we imagine. Maybe my third brother was busy and that's why he didn't answer your call. I'll try calling him back."

"Okay, brother, give it a try. Hopefully someone will answer."

As Song Wu spoke, he swallowed.

Actually, there's another piece of news he hasn't mentioned yet.

However, if the third brother were still alive, there would still be room for maneuver in this matter.

From any perspective, he certainly wanted Song Gang to live.

The man in the black robe took out his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and dialed Song Gang's number.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

As the voice on the phone rang, time ticked by, until the call automatically ended without anyone answering.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the room was extremely quiet.

Song Wu looked at his elder brother but didn't dare to say anything.

The latter gritted his teeth and dialed the number again.

Unfortunately, the second call ended the same way as the first, automatically disconnecting because no one answered.

The man in the black robe was unwilling to give up and started dialing a third time, a fourth time...

Finally, Song Wu, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Brother, no one is answering. No matter how many times we call, it's probably useless."

The man in black robes paused, his left fist clenched tightly, and he muttered, "Impossible, how could my third brother be in trouble? This is absolutely impossible."

"Big brother, I also hope that Third Brother is alright and that he can't reach us for some other reason. But, better safe than sorry, we must prepare for the worst."

Song Wu smiled bitterly.

"Brother, actually, there's some bad news I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."

The man in the black robe twitched his lips a few times and said, "Speak."

"Someone saw a group of Maple people's corpses around the fire."

"The corpses of the Maple Kingdom people!"

The man in the black robe stared wide-eyed.

"Yes."

Song Wu smiled wryly: "There are probably more than ten, many of whom are John's men."

"How could this be...?"

The man in the black robe involuntarily took two steps back, his eyes fixed on the ground, motionless.

With the third brother's fate unknown, his biggest worry is that the werewolf who was burned to death is John, because if that's the case, it's only a matter of time before the Revival Society comes after the Song family.

Secondly, John's combat strength is even greater than that of the third brother.

If even he's in trouble, then the third brother is probably in grave danger too. Otherwise, it's impossible that so many calls went unanswered.

"Big brother..."

Song Wu said bitterly, "Perhaps things aren't as bad as we think. The werewolf who was burned to death wasn't John, but someone else. My third brother is also fine right now, but for some reason, we can't contact him for the time being."

But I think we need to plan ahead. If—and I mean if—something really happens to Lao San and John, then it could trigger a series of consequences.

His voice was filled with worry, "Many people know this news. Now, all the major families probably know about it too. It's possible that some people who don't like the Song family have secretly leaked this news to the Revival Society so they can laugh at the Song family."

With each word he spoke, the man in the black robe's expression grew increasingly grim.

After the other person finished speaking, the latter sighed and nodded, saying, "You're right. No matter what happens, we must prepare for the worst."

"Yes, brother, that's why I rushed over to tell you as soon as I got the news."

Song Wu sighed.

The Song family is quite powerful, but as the saying goes, "people are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat." They don't know how many eyes are watching the Song family.

If you don't get a chance to be found, that's fine. But once you are found, even if you have no grudge against them, they will still stomp on you when they pass by.

"Don't worry, everything is just speculation right now. Even if the Revival Society comes knocking on our door, we can still manage to deflect their accusations."

"That's what the man in the black robe said."

"But you can't hide fire with paper."

Song Wu spoke up: "Given their personality, they will most likely set a deadline. If we cannot give them a satisfactory explanation within that deadline, then the result will be..."

"Then let's give them a satisfactory explanation."

A fierce rage ignited in the black-robed man's eyes. "No matter who it is, if they dare to lay a hand on anyone from my Song family, even if they escape to the ends of the earth, I, Song Tian, ​​will bring them back, skin them alive, and subject them to the eighty-one kinds of torture!"

"Pass on my order: the entire Enforcement Hall is to be mobilized to find out exactly what happened! Third Brother and the others—we need to see them alive or dead!"

"Yes, brother!"

Song Wu hurriedly replied.

The Enforcement Hall is the strongest fighting force besides the family's elders, and only the successive heads of the family are qualified to command it.

The Song family has a history of over a thousand years, and the number of times the entire Enforcement Hall has been mobilized is no more than two fingers' width.

This shows that the situation is indeed extremely serious.

"Hopefully this is just a false alarm. Otherwise, even if the culprit is found, given the shameless nature of the Revival Society, they will definitely try to squeeze a hefty sum out of the Song family, and the Song family will have to hand it over with a smile."

Song Wu sighed inwardly. (End of Chapter)
