"What's going on with these experts? The people we just sent over were all quite capable. How could they end up in such a defeated state?" asked the head of the Du family.
On this topic, the others were also in the dark.
"Father, how about I go in and take on these people?" Du Rou'er volunteered.
Du Ziteng, Du Yaor'er and other young members of the Du family also stepped forward.
Seeing this, the head of the Du family fell silent for a moment and then allowed them to enter.
Du Rou'er led the way. As soon as she entered, before she could react, she fell into a formation.
Immediately afterwards, the others also fell into different formations as soon as they stepped into the protective formation.
As Meng Xingyu continuously manipulated the formations, their power grew stronger.
Previously, it was necessary to guide people into different formations.
Now, Meng Xingyu had simply set up several formation traps at the entrance to lead them into different formations.
"Damn it..." Du Rou'er cursed angrily, her heart in a panic.
Du Yaor'er happened to fall into the same formation as Du Rou'er.
Feeling the danger inside, she cried in a hurry, "Sister, what's going on? Why did we fall into a formation?"
Just as Du Rou'er was about to speak, a dart flew towards them.
Du Rou'er quickly tapped the ground with her toes and dodged the dart's attack.
However, Du Yaor'er was still immersed in her own world and was a beat too slow. The dart directly pierced her arm.
The next moment, the red blood turned black.
Du Rou'er's pupils shrank sharply.
"It's... poisoned." After Du Yaor'er said this, her body went limp and she fell to the ground.
Du Rou'er's face changed drastically.
She stepped forward to check and found that Du Yaor'er was actually dead.
Du Rou'er was so scared that she took a step back.
Just as she was panicking and didn't know what to do, another poisoned dart flew towards her...
Seeing this, Du Rou'er dodged in a flurry.
Inside the formation, all the others who had just entered were struggling as well.
Du Ziteng had entered an illusion formation.
Such an illusion formation was simply fatal to Du Ziteng.
The Du family had always placed more importance on Du Rou'er.
She was just a woman, and moreover, a daughter who was going to get married.
Yet the Du family's cultivation resources were always tilted towards Du Rou'er.
This had always made Du Ziteng very dissatisfied.
But Du Rou'er was too overbearing.
So he couldn't express his dissatisfaction.
Now that Du Ziteng had entered the illusion formation, everything he saw was what he had hoped for.
The dissatisfaction deep in his heart was magnified.
He saw Du Rou'er being punished for committing a crime, then colluding with outsiders to harm the Du family.
Then an elder of the Du family discovered it. Finally, his father and grandfather were furious and directly crippled Du Rou'er's strength, turning her into a useless person.
Seeing this, Du Ziteng suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Immediately afterwards, the head of the Du family called him over and said that he would be trained as the future head of the family, and all the resources in the future would be invested in Du Ziteng.
As Du Ziteng got deeper and deeper into the illusion, the Du family members outside could also see the fate of their own people.
They already knew about Du Yaor'er's death.
They were relieved to see that Du Rou'er was still alive.
But then, they saw Du Ziteng's life force rapidly draining away.
What they saw was different. It was a member of the Dark Night Pavilion stabbing a knife through Du Ziteng's heart.
So Du Ziteng liked this kind of environment. His heartbeats were slowly disappearing.
Until Du Ziteng saw himself ascending to the position of the head of the family. He killed all those in the Du family who had bullied him.
Even several elders who had always favored Du Rou'er were secretly dealt with by Du Ziteng's secret guards.
After he cleared away all the obstacles and was sitting comfortably on the position of the head of the family, the Du family members saw Du Ziteng fall to the ground.
"The Dark Night Pavilion, very good, very good!" The head of the Du family's face was beyond description after losing a son and a daughter in such a short period of time.
Du Wenshan had never expected things to turn out like this.
The young people who had entered this time were not just the children of the head of the Du family.
There were also the grandchildren of the elders.
So, standing outside and watching their grandchildren in trouble, how could they just sit still?
The third elder of the Du family was the most restless.
Because the pair of beloved twin children of his had entered.
Seeing them being pushed back step by step by the experts of the Dark Night Pavilion, he said to the head of the Du family that he was going in to help.
Without waiting for the head of the Du family's consent, the third elder of the Du family rushed in first.
With the third elder taking the lead, the other elders couldn't hold back either.
Inside the Dark Night Pavilion, some members of the Ran family were still holding on in the formation.
Seeing the elders of the Du family rushing in one after another, despair flashed in their eyes.
"If I had known that the Dark Night Pavilion would be so difficult to deal with, we shouldn't have come out of seclusion. Or rather, we shouldn't have provoked the people of the Dark Night Pavilion," the head of the Ran family finally spoke.
But the words he said were full of regret.
"Father, I don't want to die. I want to get out," Ran Ziling cried loudly.
"Father, what about the Yun family? Isn't there still the Yun family?" There was also a glimmer of hope in Ran Zitong's eyes as she looked at the head of the Ran family.
The head of the Ran family closed his eyes and said, "If the formations of the Dark Night Pavilion are here, it won't matter how many people come. We were too greedy this time... If we weren't so greedy, we wouldn't have ended up like this."
Hearing this, everyone's faces turned ashen.
Yes.
All three families had mobilized this time.
Because they didn't want to drag things out.
They had already announced their coming out of seclusion as hidden families.
So they couldn't keep waiting.
The best way was to quickly establish a foothold in the Xuanyu Realm.
"Feng Yuqin is so despicable. She actually used all kinds of treasures to lure us," an elder of the Ran family said.
"Yes. If it weren't for so many pills and spiritual herbs, and our desire to destroy the Dark Night Pavilion and seize the treasures and power of the former Starfall Hall, we wouldn't have ended up like this," the head of the Ran family said in despair.
Actually, the former Starfall Hall had been quite prosperous.
How many industries had it left behind?
All these required manpower.
They all thought they could definitely deal with the Dark Night Pavilion.
If there wasn't enough manpower at that time, they would be snatched away by the other two families.
The Du family and the Yun family thought the same way.
Moreover, they had obtained some very secret information that Feng Yuqin's Dark Night Pavilion had a lot of treasures.
This information was deliberately spread out by Feng Yuqin in a veiled way.
So it was not easy for them to get this information.
The more difficult it was to obtain, the more they believed it.
Feng Yuqin had figured out the psychological activities of these people clearly.
As long as they didn't attack the Dark Night Pavilion, they could stay out of trouble.
But these people were too greedy. They were definitely going to attack the Dark Night Pavilion.
Since they had attacked, then... they should pay the price.
