599 Hope 1
The sun was shining obliquely, and the scorching heat covered the entire earthy ruins.
This is a desert area more than 80 kilometers away from the city of Uman.
No one knew that one of the real Pei family's base camps was actually located in the center of this desert.
The earthy yellow ruins are high walls, forming a large hemisphere, enclosing half of the area.
In the obscured area, there is an ancient tree with a huge root exposed to the ground.
The roots of the ancient tree stretched down a stone staircase, covering the entire staircase.
In the evening, the sun was still hot, even though it was setting in the west.
A group of high-level elders of the Pei family, each with a pestle and a cane, stood quietly in the open space at the edge of the ancient tree.
There were twelve patriarchs, and at least nine were at this time.
The nine elders all had solemn faces, and surrounded by a large crowd of people around them, their eyes quietly fell on the center of the venue.
There was a metal cross, on which was tied a beautiful girl with long purple hair.
The girl was in a coma, and looking at her appearance, it was Pei Shangyu's daughter Pei Lin.
Xia Yin stood aside and looked at the elder of the Pei family with a complicated expression.
"Anyway, there's no going to be a next time for something like this. This time the council from above has been suppressed, but if there is a next time, I'm afraid it won't just let me come. ”
"Naturally, there will be no next time. Thank you to the Deputy Speaker of the Parliament for your understanding and support. My Pei family is not a bad person. The Grand Patriarch replied calmly.
"I hope so. Xia Yin's subconscious gaze flickered, and fell on the tooth red standing in the corner not far away.
This little girl, who looks like an ordinary withdrawn student, has reached an exaggerated level of force.
If it weren't for the deterrence of the red tooth, she would not have finally turned around and joined the Pei family's camp.
"By the way, what about Director Roy, why didn't I come with you?" a senior member of the Pei family on the side smiled and asked closer.
He ..... I went back first, saying that I was a little tired. Xia Yin smiled.
But the disdainful look that Roy had looked at him before flashed back to his mind.
I'm afraid that after this time, the friendship between them will also be completely gone.
The essence of politics is to achieve a win-win situation through compromise, so that we can continue to grow stronger.
Roy, even if you were once in a high position and didn't understand this truth, you would never be able to get out of that shackle. ’
Xia Yinxi sighed in his heart, put aside his regret for Luo Yi, and looked up at the elder.
"What are the Pei family's plans to do now? If the members of the Early Moon Sword die here, the Holy Mountain will definitely not give up. I'm afraid the Early Moon Sword troops are already on their way to arrive by now. ”
She stared intently at the Grand Elder, expecting to see a hint of meaning in the other man's eyes.
"It doesn't matter, Yahong is here, besides, who can prove that which one of the Early Moon Sword died in the hands of my Pei family? ”
The two elders on the side replied with a smile.
Although his demeanor was humble, the arrogance contained in his tone could be heard by anyone.
Xia Yin remained silent and did not speak again.
At this moment, a member of the Pei family trotted forward and whispered something to the eldest elder and the second elder and others.
Because the high-level corpse demon has a special protective physical field, which can isolate the surrounding sounds, Xia Yin doesn't know what they are talking about.
If you know how to lip speak, you can see something. But I can't help it now.
Xia Yin was slightly regretful.
Just immediately, after hearing the news, the faces of several patriarchs became extremely difficult to look at with the naked eye.
Several people asked some questions in a whisper, and the Pei family reporter answered them one by one.
Soon, several elders discussed the situation before approaching Xia Yin's side.
"I'm sorry, there was a little accident, Pei Shangyu and Zhuang Qing were rescued by a special force, and now their whereabouts are unknown, I'm afraid we need additional manpower to track them down. ”
The elder was very polite to Xia Yin, after all, Xia Yin was the huge force behind the Rixing Council.
"Really, what do we do now?" "What are you going to do?" Xia Yin said in surprise.
"Pei Shangyu and Zhuang Qing are very fond of their only daughter, as long as Pei Lin is in our hands, they can't help but come.
So, we just have to wait and see what happens. Just wait for them here. The Grand Elder said calmly.
The Pei family itself has complex roots, and it belongs to the third force independent of the Night Walker Alliance and the Daywalk Council, that is, the family bloodline force.
It's just that they are a particularly strong family force.
"You're not worried about pressure from the council. Xia Yin said helplessly.
"In this regard, I rely on Miss Xia's support. In addition, our Pei family also has supportive parliamentarians, and there will be no problem in speaking out together. The Grand Patriarch said with a flat expression.
The sky was getting darker.
The elders around them, after deliberating for a while, returned to their lodgings to rest. Only a few clansmen were left to guard the surroundings.
After Xia Yin talked to Pei Shangyun, who arrived in a hurry, he was also arranged to rest.
Pei Shangyun is very emotionally unstable and very irritable, and his son Pei Peng mysteriously disappeared during this operation, and he believes that all this comes from the corpse demon manpower under Pei Shangyu's ambush.
Even Pei Lin, who took him and even caught, hated it.
Although Pei Peng is not his only son, he is the one he is most satisfied with.
As soon as he saw Pei Lin, he wanted to go up and kill her on the spot.
But was stopped by the rest of the Pei family.
Pei Peng's disappearance means that a lot of expectations and energy that Pei Shangyun has been investing have been wasted.
Xia Yin could understand his feelings, but neither the elders nor the parliament she represented now would allow Pei Shangyun to do something bad.
With Pei Lin as bait, it is necessary to catch Pei Shangyu and Zhuang Qing in one go.
.............
.............
Pei Lin opened her eyes in a daze, and felt that there was no pain in the joints of her body.
Her whole body was tied to a metal cross in rags, and it was a dark night around her.
Even at night, the hot wind in the desert still made her sweat.
"Where is this?" she remembered the last thought she remembered, which was to be knocked unconscious by Xia Yin's woman.
Xia Yin..... Hehe..."She thought back to the fake woman, and her heart was sick.
"Don't be afraid, Linlin, we'll save you right away. Suddenly, a voice as thin as a gnat came into her ears.
In the dark, the corpse demons of the Pei family guarding around suddenly fell to the ground one by one silently.
One by one, the figures wearing white armor and carrying the jagged long sword were constantly rising and falling at an extremely fast speed, clearing all the Pei family men guarding with lightning speed.
"Early Moon Sword!?" Pei Lin's eyes lit up.
Seeing this scene, a strong hope suddenly rose in my heart.
According to the previous aunt's statement, the Early Moon Sword is a powerful garrison on the Holy Mountain, and now their appearance is obviously aimed at the Pei family's corpse demons.
When she thought of her aunt, Pei Lin couldn't help but feel a little pain in her heart. There is no doubt that the aunt died for her.
Coming back to her senses, Pei Lin opened her eyes wide, watching the corpse demon guards of the Pei family being attacked one by one, falling to the ground, and disappearing silently.
White-armored men with serrated swords on their backs continued to enter the field.
Ancient trees rain with lilac leaves.
The sound of the leaves shaking alone completely drowned out the sounds of the surrounding hands.
"Don't be afraid. Linlin. I'll put you down right away. A familiar figure suddenly appeared not far in front of Pei Lin.
Pei Shangyu's face was happy, he changed into a clean black shirt, and his purple hair was constantly turning in the night wind.
