Chapter 612: Go meet them.
Su Chenyin responded with a smile: "I know, Ajue, brother."
"Cousin, we will fight alongside you and face this together. We will never back down!" Lu Yanchen also spoke, his eyes revealing determination and support.
"That's right, cousin/Chen Yin/Saint, we will support you too."
Lu Ziche, Jiuyu and other people also expressed their opinions.
There was a rock-like firmness in everyone's eyes, a kind of trust and following for Su Chenyin. Even if the road ahead was full of thorns, they were not afraid.
The atmosphere in the room was still tense and solemn, and everyone was worried about the impending danger.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
The sound came from far away, like the rapid beats of a drum, instantly breaking the silence in the room.
Then, a clear and loud knock on the door came without warning.
"Bang, bang, bang," each sound was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of everyone in the room.
Xu Qiang's slightly anxious voice also came from outside the door.
"Miss, the people from the four great families in the Central Region have arrived. They are waiting in the reception room now."
Hearing this, Su Chenyin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
In fact, she already had some rough guesses in her mind about the purpose of these people's visit.
She responded calmly: "Okay, I got it, wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
After saying that, she pulled out her jade hand that was tightly held by Jun Yijue and tidied up her slightly messy clothes.
"Okay, miss."
Xu Qiang responded, then turned around and walked away quickly, his footsteps gradually fading away.
Lu Ziche frowned and asked suspiciously, "It's really strange, why did these people suddenly come to Qianluo Palace?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhiyan's eyes were slightly helpless, and she glanced at Lu Ziche with her eyes as clear as autumn water.
There was a hint of reproach in her eyes, as if she was blaming him for not understanding such a simple thing.
She calmly shook her sleeves, opened her red lips, and began to explain slowly and unhurriedly.
"Generally speaking, in every family's ancestral hall, there must be spirit tablets of the ancestors and important figures of the family enshrined."
"You know, once the soul tablet is broken, it means that the person has died."
Having said that, Yu Zhiyan paused for a moment, then continued:
"And just last night, after we eliminated the members and elders of the four great families in Qianluo Palace, their corresponding soul tablets were instantly shattered."
"When the four great families saw that the soul tablet was broken, they naturally sent a communication note immediately to inquire about the reason."
"But they couldn't receive any information at all, so they had no choice but to lead people to Qianluo Palace to find out what was going on."
Yu Zhiyan's voice was clear and pleasant, and her analysis was very logical.
After hearing what Yu Zhiyan said, Lu Ziche suddenly understood as if he had been enlightened.
"Oh, Zhiyan, you are really smart. Why didn't I think of that? You are amazing."
As Lu Ziche spoke, he raised his thumb and gave Yu Zhiyan a big, admiring smile.
In response to Lu Ziche's praise, Yu Zhiyan just raised her chin slightly, glanced at him sideways, and said nothing more.
At this time, Su Chenyin looked around at everyone present and said, "Let's go and meet them."
As soon as the words fell, everyone nodded in response, stood up one by one, and followed Su Chenyin out of the room.
A group of people filed out and soon arrived at the corridor.
In the corridor, the afterglow of the setting sun is like golden threads, sprinkling on the walls, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.
At this moment, as the sun was setting, the afterglow poured down like golden threads, covering the walls.
These golden rays interweave together to form mottled light and shadows, like a colorful painting unfolding before people's eyes.
Su Chenyin walked in front, walking at a leisurely pace.
Jun Yijue held her hand tightly and stayed close to her.
Others followed.
At this time, the atmosphere in the reception room of Qianluo Palace was dull and depressing.
People from the four great families in the Central Region sat there, each with their own thoughts.
The longer they waited, the stronger their suspicion and dissatisfaction became, like a pot of boiling water, churning in their hearts.
He Yongchang, the head of the He family, the second largest family in the Central Region, sat on a chair with a gloomy face and impatience in his eyes.
He looked straight at Elder Xu who was not far away and asked loudly:
"Elder Xu, why hasn't your hall master come yet? And where are your wife and son? Why are they still nowhere to be seen?"
"The head of this family has been waiting here for a long time. Could it be that something unexpected has really happened to them?"
He Yongchang's series of stern questions continued to echo in the extremely spacious space of the reception room.
He Yongchang is Mu Gengli's father-in-law, and the father of Mu Gengli's wife He Yingxiu.
The reason he came here was because he saw that He Yingxiu's soul tablet was broken and he was eager to know the truth of the matter.
He was worried whether something had happened to his daughter, and he was also worried that if his daughter was really dead, without the support of Qianluo Palace, the family's interests in the Central Region would be damaged.
At this time, Wang Pengtao, the head of the Wang family, the third largest family in the Central Region, also echoed:
"That's right, Elder Xu, I wonder where your chief elder is? Why hasn't he come here yet?"
Wang Pengtao's eyes were sharp, and his gaze was as straight as a knife as he shot towards Elder Xu.
Wang Pengtao is the elder brother of the grand elder of Qianluo Palace, and is also Wang Yousu's uncle.
This time, I came here not only to worry about the safety of my relatives, but also to protect the reputation of my family.
The head of the Jin family at the side could not hold back his anxiety and asked impatiently:
"And what about your Elder Jin? I saw his soul tablet shattered this morning. What happened?"
"Elder Xu, have they encountered any misfortune? Otherwise, why haven't they shown up here yet?"
Because he was too excited, the voice of the head of the Jin family was even slightly out of tune, which sounded extremely harsh in the reception room.
The reason why Elder Jin died in the morning was that he was accidentally killed by Zhuge Ze's black cloaked puppets.
The head of the Jin family must be angry and anxious. He is saddened by the death of Elder Jin, but also eager to find out the truth of the matter. His eyes are full of anger and confusion.
Facing the barrage of questions from the crowd, Elder Xu remained calm and composed.
He responded calmly: "My dear family heads, please be patient and don't worry."
"Our Palace Master, his wife, and the Holy Son, as well as the Great Elder and Elder Jin, are all safe and sound, and have not encountered any danger."
"We have already sent people to invite them. I think it won't be long before they arrive here to meet everyone."
Elder Xu stood there calmly, looking at the heads of the families with peaceful eyes.
He appeared respectful and calm, unperturbed, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
