Disciple, please come down the mountain soon. Your senior sister can’t wait any longer.

The representatives of several major families dared to come here to watch the excitement of the Pei family, of course, not without preparation. When they came, their respective families had already sent accompanying masters to protect them in secret.

Moreover, these masters each lead a team of elite private soldiers to prevent certain emergencies.

So even though he was the only representative of several major families present, the power protecting them in secret was not weak at all. And these people who protected them in secret were also the source of their courage to have murderous thoughts towards Pei Xingchen in their hearts.

If they didn't have enough power to suppress Pei Xingchen, how could they dare to have such thoughts.

Of course, this does not mean that the masters brought by the representatives of the major families are all masters at the peak level of Dark Energy. The major families are not yet so luxurious, but there are still some warriors at the late stage of Dark Energy.

The reason why they dared to kill Pei Xingchen, who was at the peak of dark energy, was, of course, because they saw that Pei Xingchen had difficulty walking and his leg was injured, which made his ability to move almost non-existent.

Without the ability to move, Pei Xingchen could only stand there stupidly as a target. No matter how strong he was, how many attacks could he withstand?

So this is the reason why the representatives of several major families knew that Pei Xingchen was at the peak of dark energy, but still dared to kill Pei Xingchen.

But all of this disappeared instantly after Pei Qingsong appeared, and the so-called murderous intent disappeared completely without leaving any trace.

Although Pei Qingsong and Pei Xingchen are both at the peak of dark energy, their weight and strength are completely different!

No, in the eyes of several major families, Pei Qingsong is only in the late stage of Dark Energy, and they do not know that Pei Qingsong possesses the power of the peak of Dark Energy. However, this does not mean that they dare to kill Pei Qingsong!

They dared to kill Pei Xingchen, but they didn't even dare to think about Pei Qingsong!

Who is Pei Qingsong?

The Pei family's second-in-command, the Pei family elder most trusted by the patriarch Pei Runnian, can almost be said to be the Pei family's executive deputy patriarch, and the second most important person in the Pei family after Pei Runnian.

Such a big shot holds the real power of the Pei family in his hands, and no one knows how many secrets of the Pei family he knows. Normally, he can talk directly to the heads of their respective families, but they can't even talk to him if they want to.

Whenever Pei Qingsong said something casually, the heads of their respective families would ponder for a long time to find out the deeper meaning behind it. This shows Pei Qingsong's influence.

For a person with such a huge influence, one can imagine what a huge storm and impact it would cause if someone were to kill him. The entire Hedong would not be spared and would be completely involved in this huge storm.

The first to bear the brunt of the anger are the Pei family. Once Pei Qingsong is killed, the Pei family will definitely start crazy revenge like a mad dog. They will never give up until the murderer of Pei Qingsong and even the family behind him are completely wiped out.

The second-in-command of their own family was killed in public, which was equivalent to giving the Pei family a slap in the face in front of the entire Hedong. The Pei family was not taken seriously at all. How could the Pei family tolerate this?

If the Pei family endures this time, then all the image and prestige that the Pei family has spent the previous two hundred years to build will completely collapse. From then on, the Pei family will have no influence in Hedong at all, and no one will look up to the Pei family. The countdown to the Pei family's demise has already begun.

A family that could endure the murder of its second-in-command without saying a word, and who else can they expect to look up to them, even they look down on themselves?

Therefore, for this reason, Pei Runnian and the Pei family must retaliate against those opponents who killed Pei Qingsong as if their own mother had died. At that time, several major families will be forced to be involved in the war with the Pei family, which will benefit outsiders instead.

But if the person who was killed was Pei Xingchen, the result would be different.

Pei Xingchen is too young, so young that he has not had the chance to make a name for himself in Hedong, expand his influence, improve his prestige, and become a household name in Hedong.

Pei Xingchen only has some reputation within the Pei family, that's all.

Therefore, even though he is a top master of dark energy and a rare genius in the Pei family in recent years, his influence is limited to his talent in martial arts practice, and has not been transformed into an influence that can involve countless interests in his every move.

Pei Xingchen had only been in the limelight for too short a time, leaving him no time to weave various networks throughout Hedong and make himself a key figure involved in countless interests. Naturally, he had no way of having the kind of influence that Pei Qingsong had, which could affect the overall situation with just a single move. So correspondingly, the impact and consequences caused by his stabbing would be much smaller than Pei Qingsong's.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the representatives of several major families dared to have murderous intentions towards Pei Xingchen, but did not dare to have any murderous intentions towards Pei Qingsong at all.

Even if they are young and ignorant and really dare to give such an order, the masters hiding in the dark behind them are all experienced elders of the family. They will reject such a suicidal order without hesitation and report the matter back to their respective families.

Once the heads of each family know about this, they will definitely withdraw the family representative who dared to issue such an order without hesitation.

Because issuing such an order would only cause several major families to be passively involved in the war with the Pei family, which would not only fail to bring much benefit, but would also cause them great losses.

These major families would be happy to spread the news that the Pei family used the family emblem bomb, and then collude internally and externally to provoke internal strife within the Pei family. After tearing the Pei family into pieces, they would strike hard, easily dismember and annex the Pei family, and expand their own families.

However, they were absolutely unwilling to directly anger the Pei family and start a family war with the Pei family when the internal strife in the Pei family had not yet been triggered and the situation was still at its peak.

Not only will this not be of any benefit to them, it may also completely ruin their original plan to instigate internal strife within the Pei family!

Because after their sudden intervention, Pei Runnian of the Pei family could use the excuse of foreign invasion to announce that the so-called family emblem bomb to control their life and death was a lie of several major families. It was a completely absurd fact fabricated by several major families in order to provoke internal strife within the Pei family. This thing did not exist at all!

With just this one reason, the Pei family could easily erase the incident of the family emblem bomb, and then quietly replace a batch of family emblems afterwards, and the matter would be completely over!

Doing this is equivalent to laying a mine invisibly, and at the same time, it also destroys the most powerful trump cards in the hands of several major families!
