Kong Family Courtyard.
In the deepest secret chamber of the old ancestral hall.
A few elderly men with heads full of silver hair sat inside with solemn expressions, as if they were waiting for some news.
The elder positioned lower down kept fiddling with his beard, looking a bit uneasy.
"Old Third, at such an age, yet you still can't stay calm!"
The head elder, Kong Lao Da, opened his mouth to reprimand.
"Elder Brother, I always feel that this matter is being handled imprudently."
"When the news from the Young Ancestor came, we got too anxious and didn't carefully think through the pros and cons."
Kong Lao San appeared somewhat anxious at this time, his eyes occasionally glancing outside.
"What do you mean? Do you intend to defy the orders of the main bloodline?"
"Have you forgotten the honor of the main bloodline? Have you forgotten what kind of existence our ancestor was?"
"The Young Ancestor is the only offspring of that person, who feels an immense debt towards them, hence showers them with affection. As long as we connect with the Young Ancestor, the future is bright!"
"What is there to hesitate about in such matters!"
Kong Lao Da declared firmly, his eyes showing a hint of frustrated disappointment.
"Elder Brother, you're being too naive!!" Kong Lao San shook his head and spoke.
"Our branch has long been forgotten on the Ancestor Star, within the whole family, the highest level is just the three of us, barely entering the Third Realm. To the Young Ancestor and others, we're not much more than ants!"
"And as for Su Tu,
He is a student of Zhou Wuliang, the top at the Training Camp, and has achieved this position as a native Martial Artist of the Ancestor Star. Reviewing his records leaves me in awe."
"Learning martial arts and entering the Dao, never tasting defeat, behind such a person must be forces we can't imagine!"
"Furthermore, the forces behind him might not be any weaker than the main line."
Listening to his brother, Kong Lao Da also frowned slightly, the abrupt message from the ancestral hall thrown him into ecstasy, leaving little room for thought.
Now, hearing his brother's words made him calm down a bit.
"After all, these are the direct orders from the Young Ancestor, even if Su Tu has terrifying forces behind him, we will leave the Ancestor Star alongside the Young Ancestor, thinking of this, there's no danger!"
The second elder of the Kong Family, who had remained silent, finally spoke up.
"Su Tu?? The Young Ancestor never mentioned it being Su Tu!"
"The Young Ancestor only crystallized a vague silhouette, we're the ones who deduced it to be him!"
Upon hearing this, the second elder of the Kong Family's eyes suddenly narrowed,
He also sensed something was amiss. Considering Su Tu's track record, unrivaled since his debut, crushing all peers, there must be unimaginable superpowers backing such an existence.
Yet, the Young Ancestor instructed them to kill Su Tu, providing only a vague shadow.
Could it be using them as pawns to probe the opponent, and even if something happened, they could be discarded cleanly!
And the Kong Family is merely a branch abandoned on the Ancestor Star; even if crushed or torn apart, perhaps no one would care!!!
There's no denying, the Kong Family were incredibly anxious, managing to piece together such a fearful conclusion from just fragments of information.
"This is bad!!! What should we do now!"
"Kong Qiu has already taken people over for a long time, no matter how strong Su Tu is, it's impossible to handle over thirty Mingtiao Martial Artists, by now they're probably minced into meat pulp!"
"If the forces behind investigate, and the main line also abandons us, what will happen then!!"
Cold sweat dripped from the forehead of the second elder at this moment.
The joy from the ancestral hall's response had long turned into an unspeakable fright.
As members of the same family, they knew too well the nature of their main line. Since the ancestor, people of the Kong Family had eyes only for profit; as long as the benefits were enough, even sacrificing a branch, if the Young Ancestor personally laid them to rest, perhaps that Young Ancestor would chuckle as they did it.
"It was my oversight, my oversight."
Kong Lao Da's complexion turned somewhat pale, persuaded by his brother's words, the more he pondered, the more possible it seemed that his brother was right.
Originally thought that by acting according to the Young Ancestor's instructions, they would gain the main line's favor, but after the third brother's words, it was clear this was using them as a bargaining chip!
"But as of now, there's nothing to be done, likely Su Tu is already dead!"
"Here's what we'll do, first send some descendants out of the North Sea, then seal the news, wait for the Young Ancestor's arrival, see how he reacts to us, and then decide our subsequent actions..."
Kong Lao Da spoke with a grim expression.
In their perception, Su Tu was already dead by this moment.
"That's the only way, I'll take care of it now." Kong Lao San, efficient in his actions, intended to get up and leave the secret chamber after hearing his brother's words.
However, at the moment he stood up.
The whole person was slightly stunned, he looked incredulously at the ground in front of him, then rubbed his eyes, repeatedly confirming several times.
"Old Third, why are you standing there idly instead of handling affairs!!"
Kong Lao Da saw his brother standing there stunned, and couldn't help but rebuke.
His and the second elder's gaze also turned to Kong Lao San.
Yet, at this moment, the two of them were also stunned simultaneously.
Only at this moment, on the floor of the secret chamber, a black curly-haired cat wearing a small green outfit had appeared at some unknown time. The Black Cat sat properly on the ground, with its brown eyes raised to look at them.
Its pupils narrowed into a line, carrying an indescribable eeriness.
"A cat??"
"Where did the cat come from??"
Kong Lao Da couldn't help but voice, just as he was distracted for that instant, from the void, a hand suddenly reached out.
