Chapter 262 The End of the Cao Family
Cao family.
Cao Bufan carried Cao Yan's body several times and finally returned here.
He also collapsed from exhaustion due to excessive use of the Qiankun Mirror's spatial displacement ability.
In the main hall of the Cao family.
Cao family ancestor Cao Meng looked at Cao Yan's body with a calm expression.
No one knew what he was thinking. The people of the Cao family stood on both sides of the hall. No one spoke, and no one dared to disturb their ancestor.
In the Cao family, this ancestor is the sky, and what he says is the will of heaven, and no one can disobey.
Don't be fooled by his kind and friendly appearance now. When he was young, he was a ruthless man who walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
In the Central Plains, who is not afraid of the name of the ancestor of the Cao family?
However, Cao Meng is already 148 years old this year and has only two years left until his death.
One hundred and fifty years old, this is the limit. No one can exceed this age, and naturally he cannot exceed this limit either.
"well!"
I don’t know how much time passed before Cao Meng sighed softly.
"What was supposed to come finally came. I thought I could protect the Cao family as long as I was alive and ensure their prosperity for another two years."
"Now it seems that this was just my wishful thinking."
"Extraordinary, is that young man really as powerful as you said?"
Cao Meng looked at Cao Bufan, who was lying on the chair looking somewhat exhausted, and asked.
Cao Bufan nodded with difficulty and said very weakly:
"His strength is at least above level 50 in the 9th transformation. I have already warned Xiao Yan, but he didn't listen to me , which led to the disaster."
Upon hearing this, Cao Meng sighed again, turned around and walked back to the main seat.
"I have also heard of this young man. The Su family in Kyoto, the Du family in the southwest, and now the three major families are trying to provoke him at the same time."
"Haha, it seems our young king can't wait any longer."
The people of the Cao family were confused after hearing this. What does this have to do with the king?
Isn't this what the younger generation named Su Ren did?
"Grandfather, you have to make the decision for my son!!"
A middle-aged man full of alcohol and lust walked out of the crowd and fell to his knees with a thud.
His talent and strength were average, and after the ancestor died, the position of the head of the family had nothing to do with him.
But Cao Yan's talent made his dusty heart come alive again.
He thought he could turn the tables with the help of Cao Yan, but what he ended up waiting for was the body of his own son.
The ancestor of the Cao family glanced at the man kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly. He ignored him and just sat there quietly looking ahead.
As if waiting for something.
After a while, a servant of the Cao family ran in from outside the hall and reported loudly:
"Ancestor, the king wants to see you!"
Everyone in the Cao family was stunned when they heard this. Why would the king come to visit so late at night?
And this happened just at the time, combined with what the ancestor said just now, could it be that something big is really going to happen?
Cao Meng waved his hand and said:
"Let him in."
Before Cao Meng finished speaking, a deep and powerful voice was heard in the hall.
"No need, I'm already here."
Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a middle-aged man with extraordinary bravery and imposing bearing walking out from the void.
The aura emanating from his body forced everyone in the Cao family to take several steps back.
"snort!"
Cao Meng snorted coldly, breaking the momentum, which allowed everyone in the Cao family to breathe a sigh of relief.
The king smiled slightly upon seeing this, then bowed and said:
"Long Xuan has met Mr. Cao!"
Cao Meng's eyes were as calm as water, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The two of them just stared at each other for a long time before Cao Meng spoke:
"I wonder what important matter has the Lord come here so late at night?"
The king glanced at Cao Yan's body on the ground, then raised his head and smiled faintly:
"It's nothing serious, I just haven't visited you for a long time, old man, and I thought it was time to come and see you."
"After all, among the older generation who have made contributions to Dragon Country, you are the only one who is still alive."
Cao Meng narrowed his eyes when he heard this. Others couldn't understand what he was saying, but how could he not understand?
Among the older generation, at least Gu Jianfeng is still alive like him.
Doesn’t Long Xuan’s words imply that Gu Jianfeng is already dead?
Considering that Gu Jianfeng was in the Daoshan small world, if Gu Jianfeng died, the Nangong family would not be able to escape either.
The Nangong family in the southeast, the Gu family in the northeast, the Su family in Kyoto, and the Du family in the southwest.
It seems that all the top families except the Cao family have suffered heavy losses.
Although Long Xuan seemed to be chatting with him, there was actually a threat in his tone.
Cao Meng took a deep breath. Even if he heard it, what would it matter?
Long Xuan demonstrated his strength as soon as he arrived. Since he dared to take action against those two families, he must have sufficient reasons.
Now that he hasn't attacked me directly, I'm afraid he's just trying to save face because I won't live for more than two years.
As long as he dies in two years, the Cao family will be exterminated.
Thinking of this, Cao Meng sighed and said slowly:
"I know that I don't have much time left. If I can't go to guard the outer world for Dragon Country while I can still move, it would be a waste of my strength."
"For hundreds of years, my Cao family has created a pure land for the Dragon Kingdom in the Central Plains. The younger generations are mediocre and I'm afraid they are unable to take charge."
"Tell someone to take it away, so that the people of the five states in the Central Plains will not fall into the water and fire."
When Cao Meng said this, everyone in the Cao family in the hall was shocked.
"Grandmaster, you can't do that. You are... why are you doing this? You are already so old, how can you go to the battlefield outside the sky again?"
"Grandfather, please think twice. Our Cao family has worked so hard to build such a foundation. How can we ..."
"That's enough, shut up!"
Cao Meng shouted angrily.
"I'm still alive, it's not your turn to make the decision!"
"this……"
Everyone in the Cao family looked at their ancestor unwillingly, and no matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only keep silent.
Upon seeing this, the king just smiled and said nothing.
Cao Meng continued:
"From today on, all members of the Cao family must go to Mingyue Cave Heaven and are not allowed to leave for the next ten years."
"What!!?"
"Grandmaster, what are you thinking? How can you make such a decision?"
Mingyue Cave is a small world. Not going out for ten years means that the Cao family will not be able to improve their strength for ten years.
How is this different from cutting off one's own arm?
They don't understand and can't understand.
"You don't need to know why. Notify them immediately and set off early tomorrow morning."
After Cao Meng finished speaking, he looked at the king and said:
"I will also go to the outer battlefield early tomorrow morning. Please allow me, Lord."
The king nodded, then bowed and said:
"Long Xuan respectfully sends Mr. Cao off."
After the king finished speaking, he turned around and left the Cao family. His purpose of coming to the Cao family today had been achieved.
Cao Meng will definitely die on this battlefield outside the sky, and he must die.
Only if he died on the battlefield outside the sky, with his meritorious deeds, could he protect everyone in the Cao family.
Early the next morning, the ancestor of the Cao family went to outer space and fought hundreds of rounds with the leader of a group of extraterritorial demons.
Both sides eventually perished.
Later, in order to commemorate the merits of the ancestor of the Cao family, the King of Long State posthumously conferred the title of Duke of Protector of the Country on him.
After receiving the title, the Cao family voluntarily entered the Mingyue Cave and no longer cared about worldly affairs.
All the industries in the five states of Central Plains controlled by the Cao family were also donated to the Long Kingdom.
The Cao family came to an end here.
