Everyone followed the sound and found that the person who pleaded for mercy turned out to be Ning Bufan, and they were extremely surprised.

You must know that when he was in the clan competition before, Ning Meng killed him, and he didn't leave any affection. It is reasonable for anyone to intercede, but Ning Bufan stood up, which still surprised everyone.

"Fan'er, are you sure you want to intercede for him?" the Great Elder wondered.

"Yes. Ning Bufan glanced at Ning Meng, who was under control, looked at the shocked eyes of the other party, and nodded.

"Why?" the second elder suddenly said, "Fan'er, even if you are a young patriarch, you can't shield a traitor. ”

The elders and the high-ranking leaders all nodded, the clan rules of the Ning clan are very strict, and the highest level of power is actually the elder council, which even the patriarch cannot override, let alone change.

"Because I know he's not a traitor. Ning Bufan said affirmatively.

At this moment, Ning Dan, Ning Qingqing and the others glanced at each other, and also walked out, saying, "We also believe in Cousin Ning Meng, he will not betray the family." ”

"It's useless for you to believe, but there is evidence?" said the Great Elder with a frown.

"Of course, in that secret letter, the Third Elder and Qi Yuan discussed a detailed plan, but in this plan, there was no mention of Ning Meng at all. Ning Bufan said.

The Great Elder pondered for a moment and nodded, but said, "This doesn't mean that Ning Meng doesn't know about that traitor. ”

"Great Elder, you forgot, part of the plan is to organize an out-of-city hunt, and then attract the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf Pack to kill all the younger generations of our Ning Clan. This hunt outside the city, Ning Meng had long been prepared to participate. If he really knew his father's true face, then why did he need to sign up?" Ning Bufan said lightly.

When everyone heard this, they could not refute it.

Hunting outside the city is an activity held by all the big forces in Wuyang City, generally to exercise the strength of the younger generation, and at the same time, it is secretly a competition to compete with you.

This hunting competition is actually very cruel, every year a large number of young children die in the mouths of those fierce spirit beasts outside the city, and sometimes even less than half of them can come back alive.

The reason why the survival rate is so low is that in addition to the brutality of spirit beasts, there is also an unspoken rule that everyone knows.

That is, the participating players can actually fight each other, even if they fight for their lives, it is not forbidden.

Therefore, those forces who have a deep hatred for each other often lay traps and come up with sinister plans to deal with the enemy in this hunt.

The plan laid out by the three elders and the Qi clan is really vicious, in that case, even if it succeeds, it will be unaware. Even the evidence is useless.

And once the junior of the Ning clan dies, even if there are masters like the Great Elder and Elder Hong, the Ning clan will gradually decline in the future.

This kind of conspiracy to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle and eradicate the roots before cutting the grass made the Ning people extremely angry.

However, Ning Meng had already signed up to hunt outside the city, and the Council of Elders knew this. If that plan is really implemented, then Ning Meng is actually in danger, even if the three elders can secretly send someone to save him, but at least it can show that Ning Meng doesn't know about this at all.

For a moment, everyone's gaze at Ning Meng softened. The son does not inherit the father's fault, and no matter what the three elders do, they cannot blame him.

Ning Meng knelt on the ground and didn't say a word.

"Meng'er......" The Great Elder had changed his name at this moment, but his tone was still so cold.

"Are you still willing to be a member of the Ning clan?"

Ning Meng's body trembled, and his heart was at war. On the one hand, his blood father, and on the other hand, the family that gave birth to him and raised him, which is really difficult to choose.

However, when the Elder would see his hesitant appearance, his expression softened.

Because the more he hesitates, the more it actually shows that he is not a cold person in his heart. If he did not hesitate to say that he was willing to give up his father and be loyal to the family in order to survive at this moment, then everyone would think that he was treacherous and untrustworthy.

After a while, Ning Meng said, "I am willing to be a member of the Ning clan." ”

A gentle sentence is equivalent to announcing that he is going to break off with his father. This is an extremely difficult decision for anyone.

When the Great Elder heard this, he sighed and hurriedly let people untie Ning Meng's meridians.

"Thank you, Great Elder. Ning Meng said.

"You don't need to thank me, you should thank Fan'er, he didn't care about his past suspicions and relieved you of suspicion. The Great Elder smiled, extremely satisfied.

Ning Bufan's move, coupled with Ning Meng's decision, suddenly gave the Ning clan another genius. Although Ning Meng is arrogant, his talent is probably second only to Ning Bufan in the clan.

Moreover, the younger generation of the clan is in harmony with each other, which is also a good thing for the Ning people.

"Thank you. Ning Meng looked at Ning Bufan and said these three words with difficulty. Facing this person who he once hated and even killed, but at this moment he interceded for himself, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

"Forget about the past. Ning Bufan said lightly, his intercession for Ning Meng was actually completely for the future of the Ning clan, and from the bottom of his heart, he didn't like this arrogant person.

But his talent is extremely valuable to the Ning clan. As a young patriarch, Ning Bufan naturally will not abolish the public for personal reasons.

"Great Elder, the Qi Clan and the Ji Clan have almost completely exposed their true nature now, our Ning Clan is in danger, I don't know if there are any countermeasures?"

That is, in the face of the joint attack of the two major families, how should the Ning clan fight back?

"Rest assured, the Ning people are not soft persimmons, and they are at the mercy of others. The Great Elder said in a deep voice.

"This time, we, the Council of Elders, have figured out how to deal with it. One of them is to go to the main city of the Holy Church to ask for assistance, our Ning clan has never made any mistakes in Wuyang City for so many years, and the main city will definitely not sit idly by. ”

This main city is actually from the relationship between Sanctuary City and Wuyang City.

In this vast territory of the Izumo Empire, there are hundreds of main cities, each of which is thousands of miles in circumference and has a population of tens of millions, which is equivalent to a small country. And the largest of these main castles are all fiefdoms of the prince of the current Izumo Emperor.

For example, the main city of the Holy Church is the territory of the three princes today. And Wuyang City is just one of the hundreds of acropolis in the main city of the Holy Church.

Therefore, for the affairs of Wuyang City, the main city has the absolute right to speak and control.

However, an acropolis, a feud between several families, is only a very small matter for the main city of the Templar. Even if the Ning tribe sent someone to request, it was unknown whether the main city would intervene.

"Second......" The Great Elder looked around, his eyes fell on Hong Lao's body, and said: "Our Ning clan has an old man, and Hong Lao is in charge, two Xuan state of mind, I'm afraid that the Qi clan and the Ji clan don't dare to be too persecutive, and no one wants to see these two defeats." ”

"Next, every industry, every shop, as well as the mercenaries and territories outside the city, are all in a state of readiness. I'm going to see how much of an appetite they have to swallow us?"

The Great Elder's voice was like thunder, and everyone in the clan who shook was full of excitement and high morale.

After that, the stewards left according to the orders of the presbyterian church. The high-ranking members of those clans hurriedly left the clan and rushed to their own realm to prevent others from sneaking up.

As for the masters of the younger generation such as Ning Bufan, Ning Dan, and Ning Qingqing, they made up their minds to step up their cultivation, and they must hurry up to contribute to the clan.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Ning Bufan suddenly walked up.

"Great Elder, Second Elder, everyone, I still have one more thing to ask you to ......"

"What's the matter? No matter what you say, no matter what you want, the clan will do their best to meet it. The Second Elder said.

"I want the Clan's Creation Divine Codex!"

"The Divine Book of Creation?

To Ning Bufan's surprise, when the Great Elder and the others heard the name of the Creation Divine Codex, they had a puzzled expression, as if they had never heard of this thing at all, let alone kept it.

"Don't you know?" Ning Bufan faintly felt strange, it stands to reason that the old ancestor would not lie to himself.

"Where did you hear about this?" the Second Elder couldn't help but ask.

Ning Bufan was just about to blurt out, but suddenly remembered that the old ancestor had warned him that he should not tell anyone about his existence, otherwise, he was afraid that it would lead to disaster.

He hurriedly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and then said nonsense: "My father told me when I was young. ”

"Elder Hong, do you know?" the Great Elder couldn't help but ask the old man on the side.

Elder Hong and the old patriarch were sworn brothers back then, and their seniority in the clan was extremely high, maybe he had heard the old patriarch say it.

"No, I've never heard of anything like this in the Ning tribe. ”

When Ning Bufan heard this, his heart sank, and his full expectation suddenly fell to the bottom.

Could it be that the ancestor has lived in the ancestral tomb for too long, his memory is confused, and he is wrong? Or is it that the Ning people have lost the most important thing in the clan after these thousands of years?

"Is that the one?"

Just when Ning Bufan was disappointed, Hong Lao seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Elder Hong?"

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Hong Lao said slowly: "The old man is not sure, but ...... Great Elder, have you ever noticed that in the ancestral hall of the Ning clan, there is something that looks like a book in front of the ancestral tablet, but no one has ever opened it. ”

"Is that one?" the Great Elder also patted his head and said, "For so many years, everyone has always thought that it was a relic left by the Ancestor, could it be that the Creation Divine Book in the mouth of the Extraordinary Person?"

"Maybe. Ning Bufan was hopeful again and said excitedly.

"However, when I was young, I ......," the Great Elder said with some embarrassment, "I couldn't bear it when I was a child, I once went to the ancestral hall and was curious about that book, but I tried it several times, but I couldn't open it at all, it seemed to be a complete whole, and there was not a single gap. ”

"Great Elder, please take me to see it. ”

Ning Bufan couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and shouted.
