"What is it that's so important?" Gong Nandou frowned and looked at Bai Pingping with curiosity.

Bai Pingping bit her lower lip tightly, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes as she paced back and forth in the main hall of the Gong family, her expression grave and worried. After a moment, she stopped, took a deep breath, slowly walked to Gong Nandou, knelt down, clasped her hands in a fist salute, and then raised her head, looking firmly into Gong Nandou's eyes, and said:

“Grandfather, a very dangerous figure has appeared in the martial arts world recently, named Wang Jing. His evil deeds have cast a shadow over the entire martial arts world, plunging it into endless panic and bloodshed.” Bai Pingping’s voice was clear yet heavy, each word seemingly carrying the sorrow of the martial arts world. It echoed clearly in the quiet hall, instantly making Gong Nandou’s expression serious. He straightened his back, gripped the armrests tightly with both hands, and stared intently at Bai Pingping, waiting for her to continue.

"Wang Jing is an extremely treacherous and ruthless man. To satisfy his insane desires and ambition to dominate the martial arts world, he has committed countless crimes by any means necessary, which is simply outrageous!" Bai Pingping frowned slightly, a hint of anger and heartache flashing in her eyes, and her fists clenched unconsciously. "On the day he married Mu Wan of the Mu family, the Mu mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, a scene of jubilation. Little did they know that this was the prelude to a catastrophic disaster. Just as the wedding reached its climax, Wang Jing's eyes suddenly sharpened, his aura changed drastically, and he instantly erupted, revealing his ferocious true nature."

At this point, Bai Pingping's body trembled slightly, as if she had witnessed the bloody scene firsthand. "He poisoned everyone in the Mu family. On the wedding day, they all died from the poison. He also took Mu Wan hostage and brought her to the dungeon, threatening Mu Yangzi, who had been imprisoned by Wang Jing for a long time, demanding that he hand over the secret manual of the Spirit Serpent Poisoning Technique!"

"In extreme grief and helplessness, Mu Yangzi had no choice but to hand over the secret manual in resentment in order to preserve the last bloodline of his family. However, after obtaining the manual, Wang Jing revealed a twisted, maniacal laugh, then put it into his pocket and continued his killing spree. The Mu family, one of the four most prestigious families in the White Bird Kingdom, was annihilated overnight. Their once prosperous mansion became a living hell, with corpses strewn everywhere and rivers of blood flowing. The tragic scene was like a mournful elegy, telling the story of this horrific tragedy." As Bai Pingping spoke, her eyes reddened slightly, glistening with tears, a testament to her anger and heartache over Wang Jing's brutality.

Upon hearing this, Gong Nandou slammed his hands on the armrests, a loud bang echoing through the hall. His face flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead, and he roared angrily, "This Wang Jing is utterly depraved! What grudge has the Mu family ever held against him that they have suffered such a devastating calamity!"

Bai Pingping wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath to compose herself, and continued, "After obtaining and practicing the Spirit Serpent Poison Technique manual, Wang Jing's martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds, and his ambition grew wildly like weeds. He then set his sights on the Jin family. The Jin family was renowned in the martial arts world for its fierce and powerful Eagle Claw Technique, and Wang Jing naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to improve his strength."

"He launched a merciless attack on the Jin family. Although the Jin family resisted with all their might, they were ultimately no match for Wang Jing's bizarre and evil venomous snake technique. Wang Jing moved with impunity, slaughtering indiscriminately in the Jin family's mansion with heinous methods. In the end, he not only stole the Eagle Claw Kung Fu manual, but also committed a heartbreaking atrocity in front of the Jin family patriarch. He..." Bai Pingping paused, a pained expression on her face, "...He defiled Jin Lang's wife, and then slaughtered the entire Jin family, turning the entire Jin mansion into a sea of ​​blood and a mountain of corpses, a truly horrific sight." Bai Pingping's voice trembled slightly, tears blurring her vision again, as if she were witnessing those scenes of human tragedy once more.

“Now, everyone in the martial arts world fears Wang Jing. His many evil deeds have aroused the indignation of many righteous people. Our Gong family, as one of the four great families of the White Bird Kingdom, also has a certain status and reputation in the martial arts world. Moreover, we possess the peerless martial arts manual—the Ten Thousand Birds Returning to Their Nest Sword Manual—which will inevitably become the object of Wang Jing's covetousness. Therefore, we must take precautions in advance and not let Wang Jing's conspiracy succeed, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.” Bai Pingping raised her head, her eyes filled with worry and determination, staring intently at Gong Nandou, hoping that he would take this matter seriously and take action as soon as possible.

After listening to Bai Pingping's account, Gong Nandou's face grew increasingly grim. He slowly stood up, placed his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the hall, each step heavy and resolute. After a moment, he stopped, his eyes revealing determination and resolve: "Pingping, don't worry, my Gong family is not to be trifled with. Since Wang Jing dares to set his sights on my family, we will certainly deal with him with all our might and will not allow him to succeed. This 'Ten Thousand Birds Returning to Their Nest' sword manual is the culmination of our ancestors' hard work; even if it costs us our lives, we cannot let it fall into the hands of such a villain."

Bai Pingping nodded slightly, but she was still a little uneasy. She stood up, walked to Gong Nandou's side, and said softly, "Grandfather, this Wang Jing is highly skilled in martial arts and cruel in his methods. We must formulate a comprehensive countermeasure and must not be careless."

Gong Nandou nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a sense of authority. He turned to face the entrance of the hall and shouted loudly, "Guards! Summon the experts of the family to the council hall for a meeting!" His voice echoed throughout the mansion, as if sounding the battle horn.

Before long, several figures dressed in close-fitting clothes and moving with agile steps hurried into the hall. They were the elite members of the Gong family, highly skilled in martial arts. The leader was named Gong Yu, with a posture as upright as a pine tree and eyes as sharp as an eagle. The long sword at his waist swayed slightly with each step, emitting a soft metallic clang, demonstrating his extraordinary skill. Behind him was Gong Ze, a burly and robust man with taut muscles, seemingly containing boundless power. Each step he took made the ground tremble slightly. Gong Yao, one of the few female masters in the family, had a cold face and a resolute look in her eyes. The long whip she gripped tightly in her hand gleamed with a cold light, clearly indicating that she was a master.

Gong Nandou glanced at everyone with a solemn expression and slowly said, "I have summoned you all here today because there is a matter of life and death concerning our family that I need to discuss." His voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the hall, instantly making everyone's expressions serious and focused.

Bai Pingping stood aside, her gaze sweeping over the faces of the various experts one by one. She pondered to herself that these people might be the key force for the Gong family to resist Wang Jing, but she wondered if their martial arts skills were enough to contend with that demon.

Gong Yu stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Patriarch, what exactly happened? Please give your orders, and we will do our utmost!" His words were concise and firm, full of loyalty and responsibility to the family.

Gong Nandou nodded slightly, his expression worried, and said, "Now a villain named Wang Jing has appeared in the martial arts world. He has successively destroyed the Mu family and the Jin family with extremely cruel methods, and he also stole the martial arts manuals of the two families. I am afraid that his next target will be our Gong family, in order to seize our Gong family's Ten Thousand Birds Returning to the Nest Sword Manual."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed shock and anger. Gong Ze clenched his fists, his eyes wide with rage, and roared, "This Wang Jing is so rampant, my Gong family will not sit idly by and wait to die! We will make sure he never returns!" His voice was as loud as a bell, and the windows of the hall seemed to rattle slightly, showing his inner fury.

Gong Yao flicked the long whip in her hand, making a crisp sound, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes: "Patriarch, how should we deal with this? Wang Jing is highly skilled in martial arts, we must be careful and devise a comprehensive plan." Although her voice was relatively gentle, it was full of calmness and decisiveness.

Gong Nandou frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, said, "From today onwards, strengthen the guards of the mansion, patrol day and night, and do not slack off in the slightest. At the same time, we must quickly discuss a martial arts strategy to deal with Wang Jing, and make full use of the advantages of our Gong family's martial arts. Offense may be the best strategy. Everyone, please feel free to speak your minds."

"Grandfather, I have a good suggestion!"
