Chapter 2702 Modification of the Marching Plan
After Chen Mo and his team were attacked, in another place, in a courtyard, an old man was sitting in an office area. The door was knocked, and after being allowed in, a man in his thirties walked into the room.
"Chief, news just came from over there." said the man.
The old man put down the teapot in his hand, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. When he was about to pour tea again, the man in his thirties took the teapot first and poured tea into the tea bowl. The old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "How did they do it?"
"The first obstruction mission has been completed, and the warriors of the Ouyang family were delayed for about an hour because of the attack. However, the leader of the Ouyang family this time is not the acting clan leader Ouyang Ruoxi mentioned in the previous news. That girl does not seem to be in the team. Instead, the team is led by Ouyang Nan." The man watched the old man finish a cup of tea and refilled it.
"Oh? That little girl Ouyang Ruoxi is not in the team? What a pity." The old man said with some regret.
"Yes, no one expected that the Ouyang family would change the team leader before departure." The middle-aged man also felt sorry.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. It's just a matter of catching rabbits while hunting. It doesn't matter if we can't hit them. But, has the second attack been arranged?" asked the old man.
"It has been arranged. The Ninth Elder has personally arranged for people to follow and watch how the Ouyang family's convoy moves. He will definitely bring people to delay the Ouyang family for two days and make them miss the rendezvous date." said the middle-aged man.
"Haha, that's good, that's good! The Ninth Elder is good and careful in his work. However, you still have to contact the Ninth Elder later and tell him to be careful and not reveal his identity, otherwise it will be difficult to explain when the time comes. Although the Ouyang family has been a little decadent in recent years, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, so it is better to be cautious." said the old man.
"Yes, I remember that." The middle-aged man carefully added tea to the cup, then hesitated for a moment. The old man naturally saw it and smiled and said, "Why, do you have any questions?"
The middle-aged man put down the teapot and said respectfully: "Patriarch, yes."
"Oh? Then tell me, what questions do you have?" said the old man.
"Clan leader, why should we stop the Ouyang family from this expedition? Not only is it a thankless task, but relatively speaking, no one in the joint expedition team knows whether they can get the advanced innate medicinal materials in the end. If they can't get them, it will waste manpower and time. It would be better to have more people explore, which can at least indirectly reduce the losses of our family, right?" said the middle-aged man.
"You! You are still too one-sided in your considerations." The old man slowly leaned back in his chair, and then continued, "Do you know why the Ouyang family let that little girl Ouyang Ruoxi be the acting patriarch?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then said, "I seem to have heard that Ouyang Jing, the patriarch of the Ouyang family, seemed to have had some problems with his martial arts training, so he had to retreat to recuperate."
"Hahaha! You've been cheated!" said the old man.
"Ah, I was cheated?" The middle-aged man was a little unbelievable.
"Yes, you have been deceived. Ouyang Jing was not injured, and his cultivation has improved. He has reached the peak realm of the tenth level of the acquired realm." said the old man.
"What, the peak realm of the tenth level of the acquired realm?" The middle-aged man was really surprised.
"Yes, the peak of the tenth level of the acquired realm, which is one step higher than mine. It can be said that if he takes one more step forward, he will be able to enter the innate realm that warriors dream of. In other words, he is now only one step away from the innate realm." The old man said with a sigh.
When he heard the news, he was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that someone who was several decades younger than him could cultivate to a higher level than him and was so close to the innate state. He was really the envy of others.
It is impossible to say that he is not jealous. As a warrior, who doesn't want to advance to the Xiantian realm? As long as you advance to the Xiantian realm, you will not only be stronger, but also have a longer lifespan. It can be said to be an earth-shaking change.
But unfortunately, advancing to the innate level is too difficult, otherwise there would be only a handful of innate masters in the entire martial arts world.
At this time, the middle-aged man finally calmed down a little, and an idea suddenly occurred to his mind and said, "Doesn't that mean that Ouyang Jing is not in seclusion to heal his injuries, but to break through the acquired and advance to the innate?"
"Yes, that's true." The old man nodded and said, "So, have you figured it out?"
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and then continued, "Patriarch, if Ouyang Jing breaks through to the Xiantian realm, his Ouyang family will surely advance to a higher level. That would definitely not be a good thing for our family. So for this expedition, we would rather let the Ouyang family not participate than let them increase the number of Xiantian masters."
The old man nodded again and said, "Yes, that's what I think. If we get the relevant medicinal herbs during the expedition, not only will Ouyang Jing's chance of advancing to the Xiantian realm be greatly increased, but it may even allow the Ouyang family to have one or two Xiantian masters. I absolutely don't want to see this situation, so I would rather let them lose this opportunity than let them participate. After all, even if Ouyang Jing advances to become a Xiantian master, the chance is only 50-50. If there are medicinal herbs or other things that allow him to advance, then our family will definitely be suppressed by the Ouyang family."
"This, the Ouyang family will not do anything to suppress us. After all, we are related by marriage." said the middle-aged man.
"Haha, you underestimate human nature. Besides, in the entire martial arts world, the materials for cultivation are limited, and the stronger you are, the larger the share you will get. Do you think they will do it?" said the old man.
For a moment, the middle-aged man was a little stunned, but he also understood that this kind of thing is absolutely possible. People can't guess, once you guess, you will understand that anything in the world is possible, and there are only so many cultivation resources, who doesn't want to get an extra share?
"Oh!" The middle-aged man sighed.
"Okay, you are just soft-hearted. How can I trust you to take care of the family in the future?" The old man said with a bit of regret. The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Patriarch, no, dad, the family has you, and I am still far from it. I want to see more and learn more."
The old man was speechless for a while, but he had nothing to say about his own child, so he could only bear it. Besides, he only had this one son, so he should train him well.
"Okay, go contact the Ninth Elder and ask him to stop it," said the old man.
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." The middle-aged man immediately left the room and went to contact the ninth elder.
……
Therefore, at the same time, Chen Mo accompanied Ouyang Ruoxi, sitting in a minibus, heading towards the Ouyang family’s residence.
That's right, they were returning to the family residence.
At that time, after hearing the news, Chen Mo looked up to Ouyang Nan. He didn't expect that this woman's mind was so quick and scheming.
Of course, it was a pity for him to give up his SUV. After all, this car was of relatively good value, and more importantly, the goods in the car took the hotel manager a long time to purchase.
Now that we have to change cars, there is naturally no way to take the goods with us.
However, he still took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and put the goods in the vehicle into the Qiankun bag.
Earlier, after the Ouyang family expedition team was attacked, they fought off the enemy, and it didn’t take long for the replacement team arranged by the family to arrive.
Originally, the convoy was going to set off again after changing cars, but the more Ouyang Nan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he pulled Ouyang Min aside to talk for a while, and decided that the family's expedition members should directly hand over all contact items, and then arranged for the family to send a few more cars.
That was because we had to arrange for a vehicle to come later, which delayed us for an hour.
After the vehicle arrived, the expedition members got on the minibus. There were only twenty-one warriors, so two minibuses were enough to carry them all.
Then, the family divided into two convoys, led by two elders, one team took the highway to the meeting area, and the other team took the national highway to the meeting area.
Both convoys had about twenty people each, and they were all protected by warriors. Moreover, the cars were reinforced this time, so if they were attacked, no one would be hit.
The minibus carrying the expedition members turned around and returned to the family residence under the cover of the convoy.
In this way, if the two caravans were attacked again, they would be able to confirm that someone did not want the Ouyang family to go on the adventure. Moreover, after being attacked, they would be able to observe in time to see who did not want the Ouyang family to go on the adventure.
The reason why their expedition team returned to the family was because Ouyang Nan directly arranged for the family's helicopter to wait for them, so they simply took the helicopter directly.
In addition, due to the convoy's cover, the supplies they were supposed to carry were purchased directly after the helicopter landed. Moreover, Ouyang Nan had already contacted the other party by phone to purchase and arrange vehicles directly, so that they could transfer to the return site as soon as the helicopter landed.
Moreover, the place where the helicopter landed was not far from the meeting point, which avoided the risk of being attacked again.
It can be said that Ouyang Nan is very thoughtful and decisive.
The Ouyang family has some capital, so they can deal with it in this way.
Ouyang Ruoxi reacted quite quickly and naturally guessed what her aunt was thinking. However, she didn't know that her aunt had arranged a helicopter. Instead, she was thinking about whether there was another convoy waiting for them when they returned to the family.
Of course, Chen Mo didn't know either, but he could guess. There were only two ways: either take a car or take a plane. Both methods were dangerous, so it depended on how Ouyang Nan chose.
He also didn't know that the rendezvous point had a date limit and could only be postponed by one day at most, otherwise it would be considered as giving up.
Although Ouyang Ruoxi knew the reunion date and conditions, she did not tell Chen Mo.
Everything was guessed by Chen Mo. How things would develop in the future would depend on Ouyang Nan's arrangements.
