After the Great Elder's words were finished, some people quickly followed to the bridge, while a small number of people were still hesitating because of the shaking of the bridge. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Great Elder doesn't care about these people, anyway, they must pass, and they can only leave here if they pass, and he is more willing to break through than stay in this place and wait for death!
Seeing that he was about to approach the bridge, the Great Elder's eyes were also dyed with joy, but at that moment, the surrounding area suddenly lit up with fire.
Clusters of firelight lit up and surrounded them, both across the bridge and behind them, there were clusters of torches, and the clansmen who had existed since they did not know when they came out of the firelight one by one.
A small number of people who had not yet reached the bridge were frightened, and stood motionless in place, old and young were very afraid, because it was the opinion of the family, and they only knew it at night, and they had to follow and leave.
And the young and strong young people were obviously frightened, because this matter was carefully considered, and it was also secretly discussed and designed, and now they were still caught by the clansmen!
"The Great Elder is very Yaxing, and he takes his clan around at night. The Great Elder saw that he was already approaching the bridge, but he was surrounded by the clansmen who suddenly appeared, and these people stood in their positions, Mo Jue's voice came from the crowd, and the crowd surrounded by the bridge automatically gave way to a road, Mo Jue walked out slowly, looked at the people on the bridge, and spoke in a light tone.
As soon as the Great Elder heard Mo Jue's words, he snorted coldly but did not speak, this person obviously knew what he was doing and said such things to mock him, it was really ridiculous!
"The Great Elder doesn't tell us, everyone has taken their belongings these late, where are you going?" Mo Jue saw that the Great Elder didn't speak, so he continued to speak, and his cold voice was a little sarcastic at the moment.
Everyone was a little confused when they heard Mo Jue's words, but they didn't know how to explain it. On the other hand, Mo Hao, who was at the front, was unusually quiet at the moment, and had no intention of participating in such an atmosphere and event at all.
"The young master should not torture the old man, now everyone is scattered and go their own way, I don't want to hide it from everyone, our clan is about to collapse, the route is here, if you don't leave as soon as possible, we will all be buried alive below, and this deer can carry a hundred people at most, so I naturally want to leave first, everyone says that I am selfish, hateful, but it is natural for people to die for money, birds for food, if you know, you will definitely do it, so this is no wonder me.
The Great Elder had already made up his mind to leave, so he was naturally not afraid of Mo Jue, thinking that he had already been caught anyway, so he would also drag Mo Jue into the water.
"Besides, since I have already made a decision, why should the young master come to arrest me like this, and let us leave quietly, isn't it good? At that time, even if you are buried alive here, at least there is still the Mo family above, and our Mo family can be regarded as inheriting the bloodline of the Mo family, this practice itself is meritorious, and I don't think the young master needs to be so aggressive!" Without waiting for Mo Jue to speak, the Great Elder continued to speak like a river.
There is also a bit of shame in what he said.
Listening to the words of the Great Elder, everyone only felt a little like laughing, but the current situation was not the time to let them laugh, so they could only endure it and wait for Mo Jue to speak.
"So, do we still want to thank the Great Elder for his kindness, in order to prevent the Mo clan from being extinct, the Great Elder left so deliberately, regardless of the life and death of other clansmen. Mo Jue looked at the Great Elder, and his tone was a little cold.
The Great Elder listened to Mo Jue's words, and said with a cold smile: "If the young master wants to serve me, I don't care. If the young master is really kind-hearted, then why do you hide it from everyone, even now, don't tell everyone about the fact that the moon pool is exhausted and we are all going to die here?!"
The Great Elder deliberately dragged public opinion towards Mo Jue, and his eyes implied that the maids and servants in front of him moved quickly.
"That's because the power of the moon pool has not been exhausted, so why should I tell everyone about this out of nothing. As soon as Mo Jue heard the words of the Great Elder, he spoke very indifferently.
As soon as he heard Mo Jue's words, the Great Elder looked at Mo Jue in disbelief, and said with anger in his eyes: "When you told me at the time, you didn't say that! You said that the energy of the Moon Pool is about to run out, and this place will soon begin to collapse, and we will all die by then!"
"That's just trying to test what you're going to do.
However, the Great Elder's approach really surprised me at all. Because he had expected the Great Elder to do this, he had been prepared early. Mo Jue didn't hide the Great Elder's own intentions, and the words he said lightly were enough to anger people.
When the Great Elder heard Mo Jue's words, he hated in his heart, he didn't expect Mo Jue to be so ruthless.
"You! That's what you forced me to do!In fact, you were afraid that I would take the position of your patriarch, so you made up such a trance to get me out of here, and then wipe me out!" the Great Elder immediately understood, and glared at Mo Jue hatefully and said.
As soon as Mo Jue heard the words of the Great Elder, he said coldly: "I am not as dirty as you, I don't want this position of patriarch, and when I take over tomorrow, I plan to hand over this position to the Second Elder, if you can keep to yourself, it will be you." ”
Obviously, everyone present didn't expect Mo Jue to say this, let alone know that Mo Jue had already sat down for such a decision, everyone looked at Mo Jue in shock, and it was also at this time that a figure on the bridge moved, but no one paid attention.
"He's gone. Mo Jiuqing and Jun Yanchen stood on a big tree, saw the situation below clearly, and naturally saw Mo Hao's figure quietly leaving.
"It's okay, my people are blocking outside, he can't go. Jun Yanchen held Mo Jiuqing in one hand and said in a light tone.
As soon as Mo Jiuqing heard Jun Yanchen's words, his heart relaxed a lot.
And the Great Elder here listened to Mo Jue's words, and laughed uncontrollably: "Hahaha, what's the time to say this now?!Are you an idiot or a retarded person!? Anyway, now that you have seen it, I must leave here, if there is still this old relationship, don't stop me from leaving, if you want to leave, follow up!"
Looking at the Great Elder's crazy appearance, Mo Jue said indifferently: "So you think this is the exit?"
Hearing Mo Jue's fluttering tone, the Great Elder's body trembled, and he turned to look at Mo Jue incredulously and said, "Isn't this an exit?! Your subordinates didn't say Mo Hao! Mo Hao, you come out for me!"
The Great Elder looked at him angrily, but Mo Hao's figure was long gone.
"Since I already know about your plan, do you think I'll tell you the real exit? And the real exit, even if everyone in the clan leaves, there will be no danger. Mo Jue spoke again, and the shocking news he said made the Great Elder gasp coldly.
"Impossible! You didn't say that at the time, impossible, absolutely impossible," the Great Elder looked at Mo Jue, repeating it over and over again.
Mo Jue ignored the elder, but looked at the people standing on the bridge: "This place is indeed about to collapse, almost everyone in the clan knows about this matter, after tomorrow I will arrange for you to leave here, and you can choose your life after you go out, and I am not your young master, everyone has their own life, I will not interfere." But if you have disregarded the lives of your fellow kind, and have been selfish, it will be unfair to my people if I do you well. But if you still want to live, then come down from the bridge, and how to get forgiveness from your people is up to you."
Listening to Mo Jue's words, everyone was very moved, but they were a little at a loss.
They did choose the wrong path, and now they have a chance to be forgiven?
Some people are still hesitating, but some people have quickly stepped off the bridge, and the small bridge, which has not been stepped on for many years, has carried too many people at once, and the burden has been reduced all at once, and the bridge has begun to show signs of collapse.
Seeing this, some people also wanted to follow back to the shore, but the voice of the Great Elder suddenly sounded: "Don't go back! Whoever of you takes a step and try! Whoever dares to walk back will cut off this bridge!"
As he spoke, the Great Elder waved the knife in his hand.
This was what he used for self-defense, but now he is using it at such a desperate time.
"Great Elder, don't be obsessed anymore! The young master is willing to forgive us, why do we need to go all the way to the dark! Go back!" Even several of the Great Elder's cronies began to persuade the Great Elder.
"Yes, yes, the Great Elder should not be so stubborn anymore, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your family! I don't want to hurt my family because of myself, my choice is to go back to the shore to atone for my sins, Great Elder take care!"
Seeing this, the Great Elder's eyes were scarlet and angry.
"You people who are greedy for life and afraid of death! Think about the splendid life after we go out! Don't leave!" the Great Elder roared angrily, he didn't want to bow his head to Mo Jue, even if he was at the end of his rope.
Everyone couldn't stop shaking their heads when they heard the words of the Great Elder, and the rest of them also sighed slightly and walked back to the shore, but because of the fierce shaking of the Great Elder, the ropes that had been corroded began to gradually break, and the people on the bridge were frightened when they saw this, and they ran back desperately, trying to return to the shore before the rope was broken.
But because the people on the bridge were too excited, the rope was finally overwhelmed and broken, and the people who didn't return to the bridge quickly fell into the turbulent river and were washed away at once.
And Mo Jue didn't move, and he was not prepared to rescue at all.
