âBrother Jian, do you think that assassin is really so bold as to sneak into our home?â
In the Dong Family Fort, in front of the entrance of the Dong familyâs headquarters, Dong Qinglong and Dong Jian were standing here like two gate gods, watching the passersby warily.
âHow would I know? We donât even know the true identity of the assassin now!â Dong Jian said angrily. âBesides, he even dared to assassinate the family head.
Do you think thereâs anything he doesnât dare to do?â
Dong Jian was a little depressed. Speaking of which, he had seen that assassin more than once!
He had clearly had a chance to capture the other party twice. In that case, he would have made a great contribution.
But he missed the credit given to him.
He didnât even know if the two times he had seen the assassin was his true appearance. This sense of defeat made Dong Jian want to go crazy every time he thought of it.
âThatâs true.â Dong Qinglong rubbed his chin. âHis ability to transform into other people is too strange. Now, itâs making everyone panic. When I see a person, Iâll suspect if heâs real or fake. If we donât capture him as soon as possible, we wonât dare to do anything.â
Dong Qinglong wasnât the only one who felt this way. Everyone in the Dong family felt the same way!
They had never heard of such a divine ability, nor did they know how to overcome it.
Now, they could only rely on their understanding of each other to determine if the other party was one of them or the assassin.
Just like Dong Qinglong and Dong Jian had done.
But this method wasnât very reliable. After all, not everyone had a childhood friend they were very familiar with.
As a result, many members of the Dong family who couldnât prove their innocence were temporarily isolated in a courtyard.
Now, everyone in the was in a panic. Even their normal lives were affected.
Otherwise, no matter how rich the Dong family was, it was impossible for them to let two Grotto-Heaven realm experts guard the door.
Now, there were not many people in the Dong family who could be completely trusted.
Boom! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The two of them were chatting when a loud bang suddenly sounded in the southwest corner of the Dong familyâs headquarters.
A pillar of light soared into the sky, accompanied by smoke and dust.
âWhatâs going on? What happened?â
Their expressions changed at the same time. Their bodies shook slightly, and they almost rose from the ground. But at the critical moment, they remembered their duty.
âQinglong, be careful not to be distracted from our duty!â Dong Jianâs eyes were brimming with wisdom.
Dong Qinglong agreed.
âConnate divine weapon, a connate divine weapon has appeared!â In the distance, a surprised voice sounded.
Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong looked at each other. They could both tell that it was the voice of their brother.
The two of them were itching to find out what happened, but they had to stick to their duty and didnât dare to leave their post.
After more than an hour, the two of them finally couldnât take it anymore.
âQinglong, wait here. Iâll go over and see whatâs going on!â Dong Jian said.
Dong Qinglong shook his head. âNo, Brother Jian, youâve seen the assassin with your own eyes. Youâre more familiar with him. Only by staying here can you prevent him from sneaking into our home.
âIâll go over and see whatâs going on.â
Dong Jianâs expression darkened. âQinglong, are you not going to listen to me anymore?â
âHave you never seen the assassin?â
âIâve seen him once. Brother Jian, youâve seen him twice,â Dong Qinglong said fearlessly.
Just now, they were brothers. But now, they were actually glaring at each other and not giving in to the other.
âBrother Jian, Iâm slightly stronger than you. Itâs very likely that something has happened over there. I can still help if I go over,â Dong Qinglong said.
Dong Jian was furious. âYou can help, but I canât? Qinglong, I used to think you were a younger brother. Iâve always given in to you when we sparred. Do you really think youâre stronger than me?â Dong Qinglong said disdainfully, âWhy donât we spar?â
Dong Jian shouted angrily, âLetâs do it!â
âNonsense!â
Suddenly, a loud shout shocked the two of them.
The two of them looked over and saw an old man with white hair and beard walking toward them.
âFirst Elder!â
Their expressions changed, and they immediately kept quiet out of fear.
âI asked the two of you to come and keep watch to keep outsiders from sneaking into our Dong familyâs headquarters. What are the two of you arguing about?â the first elder of the Dong family said coldly.
âItâs not thatâ¦â Dong Jian explained submissively.
âFirst Elder, we were just worried that something happened over there, so we discussed who should go over and take a lookâ¦â Dong Qinglong also tried to explain.
âDonât worry too much about things that you shouldnât worry about,â the first elder said unhappily.
Dong Jian asked softly, âFirst Elder, I heard someone shout something about a connate divine weapon. Did that assassin appear? That assassin has a very powerful connate divine weapon.â
âItâs not an assassin.â The first elder shook his head. Seeing the two of themâs curious expressions, he thought that the two of them were elders of the Dong family and their identities had been verified. He didnât hide it and said, âIt was a little thief who accidentally activated the power of a stolen connate divine weapon and destroyed a few houses.â
âStolen connate divine weapon?â Dong Jianâs and Dong Qinglongâs eyes lit up.
As elders of the Dong family and Grotto-Heaven realm experts, the two of them didnât even have a connate divine weapon.. Where did this thief steal it from?
