Chapter 196: The Witch Clan Assembly (Jiang is still old and spicy!)
γCrystal Palaceγ(The place where the Witch Clan held a meeting)
In the Crystal Palace, except for the Holy Maiden Yu Linglong, the Great Elder Wu Yin, (the Second Elder Wu Ling is dead), (the Third Elder Wu Ling was not present), the Fourth Elder Wu Yan, and the Fifth Elder Wu Yu were sitting, everyone else was standing. The wizard Mi Youmeng stood respectfully beside Yu Linglong, obviously, she was in a united front with Yu Linglong.
Yu Linglong's face was murderous, this time, she must find out that inner ghost! She can already be sure that the person who fought with her in the secret room of Jiangnan Mansion yesterday is a member of the Wu clan, and he is not an ordinary person.
This time all the clansmen were convened to discuss, in order to find out about the inner ghost and give the clansmen an explanation for the death of the second elder Wu Xuan. The delay in the appearance of the Third Elder Wu successfully aroused Lin Ling's suspicion of him.
Before Yu Linglong could speak, the clansmen below began to talk in a whisper:
"I don't know if the saint went to Jiangnan Mansion to investigate the thief Shen Tu Zhu this time, can she gain anything?"
"You don't know, the Holy Maiden is trying to catch our inner ghost. β
"Inner ghost?"
"It is said that someone secretly colluded with Shen Tu Zhu and did some shady deeds. β
"There is such a thing, what a shame for our Wu clan!"
"If you want me to know who it is, I'm going to dismantle him and send him to feed the tiger!"
"In my opinion, the death of the second elder has nothing to do with Shen Tu Zhu at all, and the Marshal of the Southern Xia Soldiers and Horses, Sikong Jianyue, is the murderer. β
"Besides, the second elder has been working for Shen Tu Zhu for many years, and he has no faults, so the murderer can't be Shen Tu Zhu!"
"Having said that, there have been endless rumors about 'Shen Tu Zhu cultivated the demon law, and the six relatives did not recognize it', and it is possible..."
β¦β¦
Just when there were many opinions, a red and white lark flew in, flapped its little wings at Yu Linglong, and screamed excitedly.
As soon as the lark finished calling, Yu Linglong stood up, and everyone seemed to understand the meaning of the lark's call, and looked in the direction of the gate of the Crystal Palace.
The person who walked in to meet the many eyes was none other than our belated Third Elder Wu Da. Seeing such a battle in front of him, Wu Xuan's face did not show a trace of nervousness, he was as calm as usual.
Seeing Wu Qi coming, all the Wu Clan disciples called out respectfully, "Third Elder." β
"Let everyone wait for a long time!" Wu Yu also responded politely, slowly walked to Yu Linglong, met Yu Linglong's suspicious eyes, and said calmly: "Holy Maiden." β
ββ¦ In this witch clan conference, the three elders were the first to arrive in the past, why are they always late lately?" Yu Linglong's seemingly ordinary question was actually a test of the witch.
Wu sat down in his own chair, his hands resting naturally on the rails on either side of the chair. Listening to Yu Linglong's question, and looking at the Great Elder Wu Yin, the Fourth Elder Wu Yin, and the Fifth Elder Wu Yin, who were also waiting for him to answer, he suddenly said with a worried face: "Lao Shengnu hangs on me, Wu Yin is worried about the fate of the Wu clan in the future, and she can't sleep all night. The disciples in the palace sent a tranquilizer, and it really worked wonders, so that it was too late today, and Wu Yu is here to compensate you. β
"Worried about the fate of the Wu Clan in the future?" "Great Elder Wu Yin asked meaningfully, "Third Elder, I wonder what you think about the fate of the Wu Clan in the future?"
"Why bother asking me? Doesn't our witch clan have the ninety-seventh generation disciple of the ancient god witch seat, the beautiful great wizard Mi Youmeng? Since the wizard can know the past, predict the future, call the wind and rain, and do everything, can he still calculate what the fate of the witch clan will be in the future?" Wu Yu did not answer the question of the Great Elder Wu Yin directly, but changed the conversation and led the question to the sorcerer Mi Youmeng.
Mi Youmeng was stunned after hearing this, and didn't speak for a long time. She's a wizard, yes, what the witch said, a good wizard can really do it easily. But! Because she was playful when she was a child, she didn't study hard when the master taught her, which led to the current situation where the high is not high and the low is not enough, which makes Wu Da so sarcastic. (Each generation of the Wu clan will appoint a Wu disciple as a shaman, to learn the highest and most unfathomable witchcraft except for the holy maiden, in order to divinate the fate of the Wu clan and protect the peace of the Wu clan.) In order to prevent strife and chaos in the world, there can only be one wizard per generation, and each wizard must pass on what he has learned in his life to the next wizard candidate two years before divining his death. οΌ
Mi Youmeng, formerly known as Wu Youmeng, was the only daughter of the Four Elders Wu Xuan, and after being elected as a wizard, she changed her surname to 'Mi'. Every wizard will change the surname 'Mi', because the ancient gods and witches had the surname 'Mi'.
"The third elder, is this a reparation? Or is it an open gun and a hidden arrow? It's too late, and there are so many high-sounding explanations, are you aiming at the little girl's dream? Or at me?"
"What do you think?" Wu asked rhetorically, not to be outdone, and when he looked at each other, there was a thick murderous aura all around.
After Wu Xuan finished speaking, he glanced at the Fifth Elder Wu Hao, Wu Qiao trembled, and immediately spoke: "What did the Third Elder say, you have worked hard for the future fate of the Wu Clan, how can everyone misunderstand you because you are late?
Seeing that Mi Youmeng lowered her head a little aggrieved, Yu Linglong gently patted her hands with both hands, and then stepped forward, looked at Wu Xuan, and said, "Misunderstanding?
Hearing Yu Linglong speak for herself, Wu Da pretended to be moved and replied: "In the end, it is the Holy Maiden who knows things, and it is not in vain that Wu Da has been saddled for you for more than ten years." β
"Listening to the meaning of the third elder, Yu Linglong has been saddled for me for more than ten years, and will I have to find another way out in the future?"
Hmph, test me? Wu Yu sneered in his heart, ostensibly thinking that Yu Linglong was just joking, and he also replied with a smile: "The holy woman is too worried." It's just that Wu Hao's body is not as good as day by day, but I am afraid that I will not be able to serve my Wu clan for a long time..."
"The three elders must not say those disheartening words, our witch clan has witch doctors, and they will definitely be able to cure your illness. The Fifth Elder Wu Xue took over again.
Wu Xiao was competing with Wu Hao today, and before Wu Yi could continue, he immediately continued: "The Fifth Elder is right, our witch doctor is powerful, but... Not everything can be cured. β
"Wu Hao, what do you mean by that?" Wu Hao was angry, glared at Wu Hao, and asked.
Wu Da and Wu Ya faced Mai Mang, if it weren't for the presence of the holy maiden Yu Linglong, I am afraid that they would have had a big fight. All the Wu Clan disciples present held their breath and did not dare to interject easily.
Among the five elders, the most authoritative Great Elder Wu Yin has always been the most observant of words and feelings, and he is also the most supportive of the five elders of the Holy Maiden Yu Linglong.
Wu Da and Wu Yin didn't talk speculatively, and when they saw that they were about to start an internal fight, the Great Elder Wu Yin stood up in time to stop it, and said, "The Holy Maiden is here, how dare you be so presumptuous? β
As soon as Wu Yin said this, all the Wu disciples lowered their heads one after another, as if to express that they hadn't seen anything. Wu Yu and Wu Yan glanced at Yu Linglong at the same time, and finally they were afraid of Yu Linglong's supreme secret technique, the 'Shadow of the Holy Fire' and her identity as a saint, and barely quieted down.
