God of War System

Chapter 41 The crisis of the Meng family

Just in the early morning, a member of the Meng family got up early and walked to the lobby, because his job was to clean the lobby every day.

In the lobby at this time, there was almost nothing intact, all the seats and tables were broken to the ground, and the ground was full of cracks and potholes.

The servant just stepped into the lobby with a broom in his hand. When he saw the messy scene, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"This…"

Finding a person lying not far away, the servant swallowed, and moved forward slowly, driven by curiosity.

After looking carefully, he found that this person turned out to be the head of the family, Meng Yuan, and his body was rotten and smelly. The servant let out a scream, and sat down on the ground in fright, his eyes full of fear.

After coming back to his senses, the servant hurriedly got up and ran towards the courtyard where the great elder lived.

When he came to the door of the Great Elder's room, the servant hesitated for a while, but knocked on the door in front of him, and shouted anxiously:

"Boom boom boom!... Great Elder, the villain has something urgent to report!"

After the Great Elder opened the door, he saw a servant outside the door, with a trace of anger on his majestic face, "What's going on, you're in such a panic, what a shame!"

No servant dared to knock on his door without warning, and the sound was so loud, it was really shameful.

"Report to the Great Elder... Patriarch... is dead." Looking at the majestic Great Elder Meng Tuo, the servant trembled, knelt down immediately, and stammered, the fear in his eyes never faded.

"what!"

Hearing this, Meng Tuo couldn't hide his gaffe, his body took half a step back unnaturally, and he was really shocked in his heart.

Meng Yuan was a three-star martial artist. Apart from Lin Fan in Nanbai City, even Ye Zhan couldn't kill him, so how could he die so easily.

After regaining his senses, Meng Tuo said slowly, "...how did you die?"

"I don't know. The villain just entered the lobby when he saw the Patriarch lying on the ground with black blood all around." Jia Ding said cautiously, not daring to look up, for fear of offending Great Elder Meng Tuo again.

Hearing this sentence, Meng Tuo was only shocked in his heart, but not sad. There was an arc at the corner of his mouth that no one noticed.

After pondering for a while, Meng Tuo pretended to be sad and said, "...take me to have a look."

Meng Yuan had no heirs, once he passed away, Meng Tuo would be able to successfully inherit the position of Patriarch by holding a meeting of elders. Of course, he was secretly happy in his heart, but he couldn't show it to the public.

The servant nodded quickly, stood up, and led the Great Elder to the lobby.

As soon as Meng Tuo entered the lobby, he smelled a strong stench and couldn't help frowning.

Looking at the rotten Meng Yuan on the ground and the black blood spreading around him, Meng Tuo secretly asked, "Could he be poisoned?"

How could a normal corpse rot overnight? Black blood is usually a sign of poisoning.

"No... He should have died after the battle." Meng Tuo thought to himself when he caught a green and black wound on Meng Yuan's chest.

"From the traces around this big pit, it can be seen that it should be the martial skill used by Meng Yuan... Shouldn't it? I didn't feel such a fierce battle?"

Looking at the big pit on the ground and the current situation of the surrounding seats, Meng Tuo murmured, he is a two-star martial artist, even if he does not have extraordinary perception, he still has the minimum hearing ability, as long as he is not deaf, he is sure It was strange to hear the sound.

"I have to find Wang Meng, he is a nine-star peak martial artist, it's impossible that even he doesn't know that there was a big battle here!"

Nodding secretly, Meng Tuo asked his servants to inform the other elders, and then went to the courtyard where Wang Meng lived.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Meng Tuo saw the mess in the courtyard, and his expression changed drastically. He didn't expect that two fierce battles broke out in the Meng family's mansion overnight, and he didn't feel it at all.

Seeing the broken doors and windows and the open roof, Meng Tuo also knew that Wang Meng and his two men must have been killed. Otherwise, he and the other Meng family elders would be notified immediately.

Walking into all the rooms in the courtyard one by one, but did not see any corpses, Meng Yuan sighed:
"Oh, the Meng family... is over"

The moment he walked out of the courtyard, the wrinkles on Meng Tuo's face increased a lot, and he suddenly aged a lot, shaking bitterly, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Great Elder, all the elders are already in the lobby."

The servant just came trotting all the way from a distance, and said to Meng Tuo, seeing the scene in the courtyard, his heart skipped a beat.

"Understood..." Meng Tuo waved his hand feebly, and after retiring his servants, he walked towards the lobby again.

In the lobby at this time, several people dressed in elder costumes were already standing, and these people were naturally the elders of the Meng family.

"Great Elder...what is going on?"

Seeing Meng Tuo stepping into the lobby, the Second Elder asked solemnly, "Meng Yuan, apart from the two priests, was the strongest person, why did he die in the lobby without any warning?"

"Wang Meng's and Wang Quan's courtyards seem to have experienced battles, and they probably died too, but no bodies were found." Meng Tuo shared the current situation of Wang Meng's courtyard and some of his conjectures.

"how can that be!"

All the elders were startled, Wang Meng is the pinnacle of the nine-star martial arts master, the absolute overlord, even he might be killed, how powerful the person who made the move must be.

"Based on my guess, the person who took action...should be the mysterious alchemist, Mr. Liu."

The Meng family has only one rival family in Nanbai City, which is the Ye family, but it is naturally impossible to do it with the strength of the Ye family, and the rest is the mysterious old Liu.

Because Mr. Liu accepted Ye Tian as his apprentice, if he attacked the Meng family out of love for his apprentice, it would be understandable.

"Well, only that old Liu has this kind of strength." All the elders nodded slightly.

"We shouldn't listen to Meng Yuan's words, what kind of bullshit cares about face! How can the temper of an alchemist be easily guessed." The second elder's face was also a little angry. He regretted agreeing to Meng Yuan's proposal to suppress the Ye family.

"...Hey, Great Elder, what should we do now?"

The Meng family and the Ye family have been in too much trouble recently, and there is no room for relaxation. If the Ye family chooses to go to war, the current strength of the Meng family is completely unable to resist. The second elder did not think of a good solution, so he could only listen to Meng. Tuo's suggestion.

"Get rid of that servant just now, block the news, and let the eyeliner buried in the Ye family be smarter recently. If there is any sign that the Ye family is preparing to go to war...then we can only disband the Meng family."

Meng Tuo did not propose to elect a new Patriarch, because the current Meng Family is very dangerous. If he becomes the Patriarch, he may not live for a few days. Although he is old, who wants to die.

"That's the only way..."

All the elders looked at each other and could only sigh.

The poor servant had no idea whether he was alive or dead and had been sentenced by Meng Tuo and others.
