Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 784 - Conspiracy
Just as Su Chen was taking a taxi to the Situ Family, in Situ Kong's study, several old timers from the major families were gathered there.
Of course, besides them, there were also a few old monsters from the families!
Ever since the last time Su Chen defeated that old man in the hemp shirt from the Su Family, these old folks also became more cautious when stepping out!
However, their presence here was not only to ensure the safety of those old men but also because today's discussion was related to them.
"There's no need to wait any longer, it seems Brother Pei has been held up by something,"
A moment later, Situ Kong spoke.
"Indeed."
The others also nodded in agreement, understanding in their hearts that ever since the incident with the Su Family and the stance taken by the Hidden Dragon Hall, Pei Zhennan, that old fox, did not want to get involved anymore. He wasn't even attempting to pretend!
This was quite a clear expression of his stance!
Actually, if possible, they too wouldn't want to face the current tricky situation.
At this moment, they all envied Pei Zhennan's ability to choose to stand aside and not involve himself!
But they had no way out now, no other choice!
"What I want to say is that at this point, there's no need to keep hiding or to put on any pretense!"
Shen Mingchang looked around at everyone and said:
"Our only choice is to gather all our strength to kill that young man; otherwise, everyone can imagine the consequences."
Although Situ Kong was the host here, Shen Mingchang naturally took the lead!
This was partly because the Shen Family was the strongest, and more importantly, because it was Shen Mingchang who had planned and connected the Five Great Families back then!
Su Chun, Situ Kong, and Zheng Yuxian stopped Shen Mingchang's words and also nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, this kid is too monstrous. We must remove him as soon as possible!"
Zheng Yuxian said in a deep voice.
"Everyone knows that, but how to remove him is the key!"
Situ Kong slightly furrowed his brow and said.
"This is something we amateurs definitely can't come up with a solution for; let's hear what Nian Song and Granny have to say."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Family Heads turned their attention to those old monsters, who in some way, were also the greatest trump card and most precious resource of the Five Great Families.
"You all give your opinions; we amateurs will just listen,"
Shen Mingchang looked towards Granny and Nian Song and others and said.
The heard were nodding then one of them looked at the old man in the grey-brown hemp shirt and asked:
"Brother Yutian, you have fought with him; tell us the situation."
The one who spoke was an old monster from the Zheng Family, named Tu Shan.
As he asked this question, Granny, Nian Song, and another old man from the Su Family all turned their attention to him.
"The kid's Cultivation is probably not much different from mine, also half-step Meridian Expansion. Even if he is higher, it's limited."
The man in the hemp shirt pondered for a moment and then said:
"However, what needs to be noted is that this kid has likely cultivated a movement technique. His speed in an instant is incredibly fast! That's where I was caught off guard, struck from behind with a palm by him!"
The people were enlightened after hearing the words of the man in the hemp shirt; so that was the thing!
Although they all knew that Su Chen had defeated the man in the hemp shirt, they knew little about how he was defeated.
"Brother Yutian, are you sure his Cultivation Realm is about equal to yours?"
Granny also asked.
"I've fought with him; how could I not know this?"
The man in the hemp shirt, seeing the doubt in their tone, became somewhat displeased.
"Brother Yutian, don't be angry; after all, this matter is too important to us! We must be sure!"
Granny said with a gentle smile.
"Indeed, we cannot afford to fail in this operation, it's only right for the elder to be cautious,"
Tu Shan also advised.
The other Family Heads said the same, and the old man in the hemp robe was reassured.
"With that in mind, we still have confidence."
The elder nodded:
"Both Tu Shan and I are half a step into the Meridian Expansion, almost like Brother Yutian. Nian Song and Gao Yang are also half a step into entering the Meridian Expansion!"
"In this way, we still hold an absolute advantage. However, as Brother Yutian reminded, we must be wary of his movement technique at the time and best cut off all his paths!"
Actually, the elder was being modest with her words as her own power far surpassed that of the old man in the hemp robe!
There are significant gaps even within the half-step Meridian Expansion, for instance, Su Chen, Han Cheng, and Yan Xi in the past were all at this level, but their strengths varied greatly!
However, to martial artists of a higher realm, such discrepancies seemed trivial.
For example, a half-step Meridian Expansion views a Qi Refinement Peak, regardless of whether in the early, middle, or late stages, as mere trivialities that could be killed with a single slap!
Similarly, someone in the Meridian Expansion Realm views anyone within the half-step Meridian Expansion, whether strong or weak, as negligible!
Such differences typically become prominent only during matches within the same realm!
"Sorry, my other half-step has also entered!"
At that moment, a voice rang out, belonging to Gao Yang, whom the elder had mentioned.
Gao Yang was also from the Su Family, though he had always been cultivating abroad as he believed confinement to one place would hinder his cultivation.
It was only after the old man in the hemp robe was injured that Su Chun urgently called him back.
As the words fell, everyone was filled with shock!
With that said, the Su Family had produced two individuals at half-step Meridian Expansion!
Truly worthy of being the former top clan, such profound foundations!
Though the old man in the hemp robe was now severely injured and almost without any fighting capacity, his injury wasn't incurable; resting for a year or two would almost do the trick!
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingchang's eyes momentarily shone with sharpness.
However, he quickly concealed it, knowing now was not the time to dwell on that matter.
"That's excellent, our strength has been augmented yet again!"
The elder spoke excitedly, then looked towards the other Family Heads:
"With this, we are absolutely assured of slaying that young man!"
"Are we really that certain?"
Situ Kong asked, somewhat apprehensive.
"Absolutely no problem!"
The elder blurted out, and Tu Shan along with others nodded firmly.
Only Nian Song felt somewhat awkward, as he was the only one not at half-step Meridian Expansion in the room!
But now, no one really cared about his slight mood, as dealing with that young man was currently the most pressing issue!
Everyone including Situ Kong believed the stronger their side was, the better!
Those old timers hearing these few old monsters being so confident finally felt at ease!
"Good, with that settled, prepare for action within three days, and three days later, we want to see that young man's corpse!"
Shen Mingchang said with a hardened gaze.
The elder and Tu Shan all nodded gravely. freeweɓnøvel.com

By evening, the Situ Family's place was becoming increasingly lively, with more and more guests arriving, most of whom were prominent figures from Yandu!
At this moment, a man dressed in casual clothes and sporting a little beard was leisurely strolling in the courtyard...
