Headed by the Great Elder, two, four, six, and eight, a total of five щ came. As for the other Fifth Elder and Seventh Elder, they had been very close to Miao Hong recently, so for the sake of insurance, Yang Li did not call them over.

After the elders arrived, Yang Li went into the inner room with them to talk in detail, of course, Qin Zheng would definitely be brought in, while Ji Hao and the others were waiting outside.

I don't know if it's because of Qin Zheng, Miao Meili stayed for a few minutes and left here.

More than half an hour passed, Yang Li and the elders were still talking inside, although they could hear the voices inside, but what was being said, Ji Hao and they couldn't hear clearly.

But at this time, Miao Meili hurriedly ran back, and as soon as she entered the house, she said loudly: "Oh no, Ninth Elder, he's dead!" ”

"What did you say?" Ji Hao was stunned for an instant, and an incredible look appeared on his face.

Nine Elders are dead? How is this possible? He was imprisoned at the central altar and guarded by a special person, so how could he die?

"Did you hear it wrong, it could be someone else who died." Ji Hao said.

"No, it's indeed the Nine Elders."

Miao Meili said affirmatively: "At first, I also suspected that I had heard it wrong, but it wasn't until I saw the corpse of the Ninth Elder that I was truly convinced that the Ninth Elder had indeed been killed. ”

When Ji Hao heard it, his whole body was suddenly blindfolded.

"If you go quickly, if you don't leave, I'm afraid it'll be too late."

"I, Miao Qing, am a member of the Dongwu Tribe, and today I will clean up the portal for the Dongwu Tribe."

"Ji Hao, if I unfortunately die, please ask you to eliminate the harm for my Dongwu tribe in the future!"

What Miao Qing said that day still echoed in Ji Hao's mind.

Although Ji Hao and Miao Qing have only known each other for a day, Miao Qing can be said to have saved Ji Hao's life. Ji Hao came back this time to save him, but now he suddenly heard the news of Miao Qing's death, which caught Ji Hao off guard.

Seeing that Ji Hao's expression was a little wrong, Murong Yue hurriedly said, "Ji Hao, are you okay?" ”

"No, it's fine." Ji Hao shook his head, but his voice trembled a little.

After Miao Meili and Ji Hao told them about Miao Qing's death, they went into the back room to inform Yang Li and the elders. After a while, Yang Li and they were all out.

As soon as Yang Li came out, she said to Ji Hao: "Ji Hao, don't be impulsive." ”

Obviously, Miao Meili told Yang Li about Ji Hao's reaction.

"Senior Yang, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid." Ji Hao said.

"Hmm."

Yang Li nodded, and went out with the Great Elder, they were going to see Miao Qing's corpse. Although now they all guess that Miao Hong should have killed Miao Qing, this matter needs evidence.

"Murong, Wuhua, you can go too, I'll just wait for you here." Ji Hao looked at Yang Li's distant backs and said.

"Are you sure you can?" Wuhua asked.

"I'm sure." Ji Hao said: "The most important thing now is to know how the Ninth Elder Miao Qing died. I'm afraid that Senior Yang will hide something from us, so it's better for you to go over the trip. ”

After all, Ji Hao and they are outsiders no matter what they say, and it is inevitable that Yang Li and they have something to hide.

Seeing Ji Hao's repeated insistence, Murong Yue and Wuhua said, "Okay, let's go, you pay attention to yourself." ”

"Hmm."

Ji Hao nodded, watched Murong Yue and them go away, and then walked to the inner room, where Qin Zheng was inside.

Murong Yue and Wuhua caught up with Yang Li and them, Yang Li didn't say anything about Murong Yue and Wuhua's arrival, so she took the two of them and set off towards the central altar.

By the time Murong Yue and the others arrived, the altar had already been under martial law, and not only the Dongwu tribe, but even the other two tribes were also alarmed. After all, no matter what Miao Qing said, he was also an elder when he was alive, so how could he not alarm them with such a big event.

With the Great Elder opening the way, Murong Yue and the others traveled unimpeded all the way to the place where Miao Qing was held.

"What about the remains of the Nine Elders?"

After coming to the place where Miao Qing was being held, the Great Elder and the others found that the Fifth Elder and the Seventh Elder had already arrived, but Miao Qing's body was not here, so the Great Elder asked the Fifth Elder on the side.

"Back to the Great Elder, the body of the Ninth Elder has been taken away by the patriarch, saying that he is going to be cremated." The Fifth Elder replied truthfully.

"I was taken by Miao Hong, and I have to be cremated."

When Yang Li and the others heard this, they were all shocked. Why did Miao Hong take away Miao Qing's body, was he afraid that the corpse would speak?

"What did you eat, you actually let the patriarch take away the body, don't you know that the body is very important?" The Great Elder roared.

"Great Elder, it's no wonder that I didn't come over when the patriarch took away the body." The five elders said aggrievedly.

Seeing the five elders' aggrieved faces, the great elders also knew that they had lost their temper.

"Then how do you know that the patriarch took the body?" The Great Elder asked.

The fifth elder glanced at the seventh elder, and the seventh elder was helpless, and said: "When the patriarch took away the body, I was here, but I had already stopped him at that time, but the patriarch insisted on going his own way, and I had no choice but to take the body. ”

"Really?"

Hearing the words of the Seventh Elder, the Great Elder glanced at them and stepped aside.

"Do you think you can believe the words of the seven elders?" Yang Li asked.

"I don't know." The Eighth Elder said.

There was silence. The Great Elder suddenly said, "Don't worry about this for now, you said that this Miao Hong suddenly killed Miao Qing, do you know that we have discovered his secret?" ”

"Well, that's possible." The Second Elder nodded, agreeing with the Great Elder's statement.

"I don't think so."

Yang Li put forward a different point of view: "If Miao Hong knows, we already know that he colluded with the corpse, then it will be useless whether he kills Miao Qing or not." Instead of killing him, it is better to take Miao Qing as a hostage to make us throw a rat trap. ”

What Yang Li said was more convincing than what the Great Elder said, and it was immediately agreed by the four, six, eight, and three elders

"Damn, last night this Miao Hong also used the old patriarch is death to lure me to arrest Ji Hao, I think he did it at that time." The Sixth Elder said.

"If we can't see the corpse and can't determine the cause of death, we can't be sure if Miao Qing was killed by Miao Hong. Now the main thing is to find them. The four elders said.

The Great Elder was silent, came to the guard on the side, and ordered, "Send the order, and order everyone in the tribe to let him rush here as soon as he finds the patriarch." ”

"Yes." The guard yelled and ran away.

"Old Five, what do you say the Great Elder is talking about? Why avoid us? The Seventh Elder asked.
