Chapter 1474: I Really Overestimated Them (2)

“Brother Jian, do you think that assassin is really so bold as to sneak into our home?”
In the Dong Family Fort, in front of the entrance of the Dong family’s headquarters, Dong Qinglong and Dong Jian were standing here like two gate gods, watching the passersby warily.
“How would I know? We don’t even know the true identity of the assassin now!” Dong Jian said angrily. “Besides, he even dared to assassinate the family head.
Do you think there’s anything he doesn’t dare to do?”
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 didn’t 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.
“That’s true.” Dong Qinglong rubbed his chin. “His ability to transform into other people is too strange. Now, it’s making everyone panic. When I see a person, I’ll suspect if he’s real or fake. If we don’t capture him as soon as possible, we won’t dare to do anything.”
Dong Qinglong wasn’t 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 wasn’t 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 couldn’t 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!
The two of them were chatting when a loud bang suddenly sounded in the southwest corner of the Dong family’s headquarters.
A pillar of light soared into the sky, accompanied by smoke and dust.
“What’s going on? What happened?”
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.
“Qinglong, be careful not to be distracted from our duty!” Dong Jian’s eyes were brimming with wisdom.
Dong Qinglong agreed.
“Connate divine weapon, a connate divine weapon has appeared!” 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 didn’t dare to leave their post.
After more than an hour, the two of them finally couldn’t take it anymore.
“Qinglong, wait here. I’ll go over and see what’s going on!” Dong Jian said.
Dong Qinglong shook his head. “No, Brother Jian, you’ve seen the assassin with your own eyes. You’re more familiar with him. Only by staying here can you prevent him from sneaking into our home.
“I’ll go over and see what’s going on.”
Dong Jian’s expression darkened. “Qinglong, are you not going to listen to me anymore?”
“Have you never seen the assassin?”
“I’ve seen him once. Brother Jian, you’ve seen him twice,” 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.
“Brother Jian, I’m slightly stronger than you. It’s very likely that something has happened over there. I can still help if I go over,” Dong Qinglong said.
Dong Jian was furious. “You can help, but I can’t? Qinglong, I used to think you were a younger brother. I’ve always given in to you when we sparred. Do you really think you’re stronger than me?” Dong Qinglong said disdainfully, “Why don’t we spar?”
Dong Jian shouted angrily, “Let’s do it!”
“Nonsense!”
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.
“First Elder!”
Their expressions changed, and they immediately kept quiet out of fear.
“I asked the two of you to come and keep watch to keep outsiders from sneaking into our Dong family’s headquarters. What are the two of you arguing about?” the first elder of the Dong family said coldly.
“It’s not that…” Dong Jian explained submissively.
“First Elder, we were just worried that something happened over there, so we discussed who should go over and take a look…” Dong Qinglong also tried to explain.
“Don’t worry too much about things that you shouldn’t worry about,” the first elder said unhappily.
Dong Jian asked softly, “First Elder, I heard someone shout something about a connate divine weapon. Did that assassin appear? That assassin has a very powerful connate divine weapon.”
“It’s not an assassin.” The first elder shook his head. Seeing the two of them’s curious expressions, he thought that the two of them were elders of the Dong family and their identities had been verified. He didn’t hide it and said, “It was a little thief who accidentally activated the power of a stolen connate divine weapon and destroyed a few houses.”
“Stolen connate divine weapon?” Dong Jian’s and Dong Qinglong’s eyes lit up.
As elders of the Dong family and Grotto-Heaven realm experts, the two of them didn’t even have a connate divine weapon.. Where did this thief steal it from?
