Chapter 107: The Assassination of the Du
Xijing City, Wang's Building.
At this time, Wang Mu's office was crowded with people, and there was a person sitting in the middle, who was He Yuexiao, the hall master of the Seven Nights Shadow Moon Hall. At this time, He Yuexiao's face was full of sadness, and her expression was also a little anxious.
Wang Mu had already joined Seven Nights before, and disappeared before he could contribute to the organization. However, his Wang Mansion has now become the helmsman of Qiye in Xijing City and even in the northwest of the entire Celestial Empire.
He Yuexiao was silent for a while, looked at everyone and said, "Now those old guys in the Daoshu Association are bullying people too much, and they have pulled out seven or eight of our rudders in just three days, killing hundreds of people from our sect. I'm afraid we'll be wiped out by these old guys sooner or later! ”
Feng Shenxiu said: "Now the morale of the Dao Art Association is booming, and our losses are too great, so it is naturally not possible to fight hard." I think the most important thing is how to defend against their next attack, and as for taking the initiative, we have to wait until we recover before we make plans! ”
He Yuexiao wouldn't not understand this truth, the Seven Nights Twelve Hall Masters have now died three and seriously injured one. And the eight core members of the Daoshu Association, the president and vice president plus the six elders, except for one Xuanzong, whose whereabouts are unknown, are all unharmed, which means that the Daoist Association has hardly suffered any major blows.
As for the missing Xuanzong of the Dao Art Association, his whereabouts are probably only known to Wang Mu and the Demon Emperor. At the beginning, it was the Demon Emperor who killed Xuanzong in one move in order to save Wang Mu, and at that time Wang Mu really thought that the Demon Emperor was an upright person, and then the incident of the Vermilion Bird Seal made Wang Mu see the essence of the Demon Emperor.
Liu Xia muttered: "It would be nice if Brother Mu was here, he has the most ghost ideas, there must be a way." ”
These words couldn't escape Feng Shenxiu's ears, and he said: "Wang Muzai can't be of much use, he is just a cultivator of the Heavenly Realm, and we have more than seven nights of cultivators at this level!" "But what Feng Shenxiu thought in his heart was that Wang Mu's kid might have died in the land of heavy demons this time!
Feng Shenxiu's words reminded He Yuexiao, she looked up at Feng Shenxiu and asked, "By the way, senior nephew, when did you break through the Xuan Realm?" ”
"You've reached the Xuan Realm?" Feng Yue'er looked at Feng Shenxiu in disbelief.
Feng Shenxiu smiled and said, "Maybe it's because of my diligent cultivation, if it weren't for my dull talent, I would have broken through the Xuan Realm a long time ago!" How could it be that long in the Heaven Realm card. ”
He Yuexiao said disappreciatively: "Being able to break through the Xuan Realm proves that your talent is good, not all people can become cultivators, and not every cultivator can enter the Xuan Realm!" ”
Feng Shenxiu smiled slightly and stopped talking. In fact, he had already broken through the Xuan Realm, but now he slowly let go of his aura, even so, he still suppressed the excessive publicity of his strength to a large extent, causing suspicion.
However, He Yuexiao was obviously not satisfied with Feng Shenxiu's explanation, but now was a critical moment for survival, and she didn't want to doubt her own people.
……
Besides, Wang Mu and the three of them provoked Lin Shaojun, which also made him a little distressed, you must know that the Lin family is a single-handed existence in the magic capital.
At this time, the Lin family was also a little difficult to protect itself, and the Demon City Lord was constantly pressuring to try to reduce its power. There is a Qu family on the side, which is gradually growing, and there is a faint meaning of surpassing the Lin family. In the face of the pressure from both sides, the Lin family was really a little careless.
Early in the morning of this day, the city lord of the Demon Capital sent someone to invite Lin Moyang, and the envoy claimed that there was an urgent matter to discuss, so he must hurry up.
Since it was the city lord's urgent call, Lin Moyang didn't think much about it, and only hurried away with two or three entourages.
Lin Moyang's mount is the Emperor Realm Demon Beast Taixu Beast, this beast was born with the super high talent of the Heavenly Realm, and it was rewarded to him by the Demon Capital City Lord. It is said to have been caught in the middle of the Demon Radiance Forest, and it is considered a relatively high-level demon beast.
The palace of the lord of the Demon City is called Yu Du, which is located on the edge of the Demon Capital, and no one dares to approach it on weekdays. Although Lin Moyang is a close confidant of the city lord, he will only come here if he has something.
The envoy took Lin Moyang to the gate of the Dusk, but then told him that he could not bring his retinue and mounts in. Lin Moyang knew that this was the rule of the Dusk, so he left the Taixu Beast and his entourage to enter the Dusk Capital by himself.
Today's Twilight is a little different from the past, there are a lot of guards here for no reason today, and it can be seen that these guards are all masters.
"Isn't there something big going on in the capital today?" Lin Moyang thought like this, and he couldn't help but speed up his steps. It is forbidden to fly, except for the city lord himself, no one else can fly here if they want to.
Not only that, but the Soul Capital will also greatly suppress the soul power of the soul person, and the Emperor Realm Soul Maker like Lin Moyang only has the strength of the early stage of the Heavenly Realm here. This is also one of the reasons why Lin Moyang usually doesn't come here, he doesn't like the feeling of being bound.
Lin Moyang rushed to the council hall first, and the city lord usually summoned him here. But the strange thing is that the city lord is not here today.
At this time, another person came, Lin Moyang recognized him, this person was the retinue of the city lord, and he usually followed the city lord.
When the entourage saw Lin Moyang, he made a big salute, and then said respectfully: "The city lord is waiting for you in the dormitory!" ”
Lin Moyang wondered a little in his heart, how could the city lord summon him in the dormitory today?
When I arrived at the dormitory, I saw that the city lord was really here. It's just that in addition to the city lord, there are also disheveled city lords' wives and a group of guards standing next to them.
There was also a man kneeling on the ground, his face was bruised, his clothes were somewhat torn, and he had obviously just fought. But when the man turned around, Lin Moyang was stunned, because this person he was very familiar with, and it was one of his cronies.
Before Lin Moyang could speak, another person came in from the door, dressed no different from Lin Moyang. This person is Qu Furen, the current head of the Qu family.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the city lord said slowly: "Someone wanted to assassinate me just now!" ”
"What? Someone wants to assassinate the lord of the castle? ”
Almost everyone present couldn't believe it, it was heavily guarded on weekdays, except for the people inside, people outside couldn't get in if they wanted to, let alone assassinate the city lord.
"Who is going to assassinate the lord of the castle?" Qu Furen said with some excitement: "I will definitely pull him out and break his body into ten thousand pieces!" ”
The lord of the city pointed to the man kneeling on the ground and said, "This is the man who wants to assassinate me!" ”
Qu Furen stepped forward and lifted the man up. But when he saw that person's face clearly, he was also stunned, Qu Furen turned his head and said to Lin Moyang with a complicated expression: "General Lin, what's going on?" I remember this guy was your retinue! ”
Of course, Lin Moyang heard what Qu Furen said, and he was also angry, and shouted loudly: "General Qu, what do you mean? You don't suspect that I sent someone to assassinate the city lord, right? For hundreds of years, my loyalty to the lord of the city is evident, and you dare to slander me like this! ”
Qu Furen suddenly laughed and said, "Now that the evidence is here, General Lin won't pretend not to know this person!" ”
Lin Moyang no longer paid attention to Qu Furen's provocation, and instead asked the entourage angrily: "Why did you assassinate the city lord?" Who is it just that you are here? ”
The entourage glanced at Lin Moyang in a trance, then at Qu Furen, did not speak, but lowered his head deeply.
Qu Furen punched that person in the abdomen, a punch from an Emperor Realm soul was not comfortable, even if he didn't use much strength, ordinary people couldn't stand it at all. I saw that the entourage sprayed a mouthful of blood on Qu Furen's face, and he breathed more and less in.
"Damn, if you don't recruit the behind-the-scenes instructions today, I'll make your life worse than death!" Qu Furen scolded angrily, and pressed his palm on the heart of the attendant. The huge soul power is like an invisible hand, clutching the heart of the follower.
The attendant finally couldn't resist the pain, and said slowly, "Yes...... Crooked....... ”
The entourage didn't finish speaking, and finally couldn't resist the huge pain and bit his tongue and committed suicide. Qu Furen angrily threw the corpse aside, and asked Lin Moyang instead: "General Lin, what else do you have to say now?" This demon capital surnamed Lin is just your family! ”
Lin Moyang is now difficult to argue, the person is a member of his Lin family, and he also heard the word Lin clearly before his entourage died. He has never instructed his entourage to assassinate the city lord, you must know that the Lin family is now on the cusp, and with such a file, his Lin family is really going to be finished.
After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Moyang said slowly: "This matter is by no means instructed by me, the only possibility is that someone wants to blame my Lin family, and I ask the city lord to learn clearly!" ”
The city lord was also two heads at this time, he pressed his head, and said slowly: "I finally thought that this dormitory was happy and happy, and such an assassin appeared. So far, no matter what, it is your Lin Moyang's person, so your Lin family can't escape from this matter. ”
Hearing this, Lin Moyang already roughly understood that the city lord was going to borrow this to get rid of him!
Who knew that the city lord didn't seem to be in a hurry, but said: "First relieve your military power, and when things fall out, I will make plans!" ”
With that, the city lord waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go out. Lin Moyang unwillingly took out a jade plaque from his waist, which was engraved with a strange beast head, which was his talisman.
After exchanging talismans, Lin Moyang slowly withdrew from the dormitory, and everyone looked at him sideways along the way. Maybe Lin Moyang was used to being cross-fertive before, and Fairy Ah was relieved of his military power, so that these people all had a sense of relief.
After everyone left, the lady asked, "Didn't you always want to take the opportunity to get rid of this old guy Lin Moyang?" Isn't this the perfect opportunity today! ”
The city lord sighed and said, "You think I'm really that stupid, this matter is clearly that someone framed Lin Moyang." It's good that I can relieve him of military power, but I have to think long-term to get rid of him, after all, he still has a bunch of die-hard cronies, and those people are also a big problem! ”
"Then who do you think will frame Lin Moyang?" Madame asked again.
The city lord pondered for a moment and said, "Judging from the performance just now, it shouldn't be Qu Furen, I haven't figured out who it is. ”
Lin Moyang left the capital, and the more he thought about it along the way, the more he wondered, and the biggest object of suspicion in his heart was Qu Furen. After all, his death is the best for the Qu family!
Back at the Lin family's mansion, Lin Moyang sat in the study in despair, thinking carefully about the ins and outs of this matter. He also had a doubt in his heart, that is, why didn't the city lord take the opportunity to kill him.
Does the lord of the castle also know that I have been wronged? Thinking like this, a glimmer of hope suddenly emerged in Lin Moyang's heart.
There was a knocking sound at the door, and Lin Moyang let out a trace of spiritual power, and found that it was his grandson Lin Shaojun standing at the door.
"Squeak", the door slowly opened, Lin Shaojun walked in, holding a bowl of tea in his hand, walked to the desk and said respectfully: "Grandpa, have a cup of tea." The finest fire lin's antlers are brewed. ”
Lin Moyang took the tea and tasted it gently, it was indeed no different from the fire lin's antlers. This fire deer is also a unique strange beast in the Demon Radiance Forest, and its whole body is full of great tonic medicine, especially this fire lin antlers are even more nourishing and wonderful.
"Grandpa, what is the city lord calling you today?" Lin Shaojun asked casually.
Lin Moyang asked rhetorically, "How do you know that the City Lord summoned me?" ”
Lin Shaojun said with a smile: "I asked the entourage who just came back with you, and they told me. I saw that my grandfather had been frowning since he entered the door, and I didn't know what had happened? ”
Lin Moyang sighed and said, "It's nothing. It's just that you don't want to make trouble outside in the future, it's been an eventful time recently, and grandpa may not even be able to protect you anymore! ”
Lin Shaojun didn't speak again, just thinking about something.
On the other side, Wang Mu and the others were sitting and resting in the hotel. Now that the innkeeper is dead, there is no one to charge them for their high room fees, and they don't have to rush out to hunt monsters again, so they are naturally happy to be idle.
"It looks like we won't be able to go back for a while, and we have to find a way to learn the language here as soon as possible." Wang Mu said.
In his unchanging tone, the Devil said, "This is easy to do, there is nothing here that potions can't do!" ”
(End of Chapter 107)
To correct the previous mistake, the paragraph in the second chapter where Wang Mu just got Xuanwu Xuan.
Pan Gu was also surprised when he saw Wang Mu for the first time, and asked eagerly, "How can this be?" ”
Wang Mu was still feeling sorry for his coffee table at this time, and said helplessly: "I don't know either." This is the truth, one after another strange things are beyond Wang Mu's comprehension.
Suddenly, Pan Gu seemed to have discovered something, and reached out to grab Wang Mu's chest.
Wang Mu grabbed Pan Gu's wrist and threw it to the side, but he threw Pan Gu out and slammed it on the wall, leaving a big hole in the wall.
"Oops." Wang Mu was shocked.
Wang Mu forgot that he suddenly gained divine power today, and his friend fell and was crippled if he didn't die.
Who knew that Pan Gu slowly got up from the ground, patted his clothes, and said with a wry smile as if he was fine: "You kid wants my life!" ”
Seeing that his friend was fine, Wang Mu finally put his mind at ease. If Pan Gu was really thrown to death by himself so inexplicably, then his conscience would really be uneasy for the rest of his life.
Pan Gu walked over, pointed to Wang Mu's chest and said, "I just want to see the jade pendant in your pocket." ”
Wang Mu smiled embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, I thought you were going to ...... me." ”
Pan Gu rolled his eyes: "Where do you want to go!" ”
Wang Mu took out the jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Pan Gu. Strange to say, the moment he handed over the jade pendant to Pan Gu, the heat on his body disappeared in an instant, and his body was as tired as if it had been drained of energy.
Pan Gu looked at the jade pendant carefully and said: "This jade is called Xuanwu Xuan, Xuanwu is the master of the north palm fire, and Xuan refers to the red jade, which just coincides with the fire attribute of Xuanwu. According to ancient books, Xuanwu Xuan is where the spiritual power of Xuanwu lies. But these are just legends, you are naturally just an ordinary jade pendant, but it is also good to hang it at home to ward off evil spirits, and it is best not to wear it on your body in the future. ”
Wang Mu secretly said in his heart: It turns out that the Xuanwu Beast actually gave all his spiritual power to himself. This Pan Gu really doesn't know the goods, but I am a genuine divine jade.
