Chapter 228
"What's more, they are all businessmen, so it is inevitable that they will take the opportunity to make some demands. If that's the case, it's better to simply abandon Wanbao Zhai and leave the business on the side of the God of Wealth Building to preserve its strength. ”
Mo Feng nodded again and again after hearing this: "The little fat man is decisive enough, this idea is good, but it is your eldest brother's own trouble, let him finish it, let's just ignore it." ”
Thinking of the cause of Jiang Shoucai's death, Zhang Zhao hesitated in his heart: "If you withdraw it now, won't your Jiang family's ancestral business be given away for nothing?" Why don't we try again, start from the side of Flame City first, and find a way to force the person hiding behind to come out." ”
"The person hiding behind? What do you mean? This is not an obvious thing? Jiang Rutao fell into the trap set by the Flame Hall and the Zhongli family, what other way can he do but pay back?"
"The bets on the Shura field are amazing, if we bet heavily, I win that game again, I can pay back some of the ...... first" Zhang Zhao's words made Mo Feng's face a little ugly: "Boy, what's the difference between you and Jiang Rutao like this? Maybe you have to take your own life." ”
"Everyone on the Shura field is an outlaw, and after years of bloody battles, none of those masters are weak. This is by no means different from the ordinary struggle between sects, and there is no room for maneuver when you come to power. ”
As night fell, the elders of the Burning Body Clan, accompanied by Cai Zhixu, entered the Giant Rock City, and they walked north into a towering pavilion made of huge rock blocks, and went directly to a room on the top floor with windows on all sides.
Under the light of the two crystal lights, the sumptuous banquet set up in the room is even more attractive. The old man of the Burning Body Clan unceremoniously pulled over a chair and sat down, without even grabbing chopsticks to eat and drink the wine and food on the table.
"Zhixu, over the years, we have been hiding everywhere for fear of being found. If it weren't for you by my side, I wouldn't even dare to think of coming to this square city. ”
Cai Zhixu was much more indifferent: "Uncle Shi, what are we doing here? The old man of the Burning Body Clan chewed something in his mouth and replied vaguely: "Of course, I came to talk about something important, related to the revitalization plan of our Burning Body Clan. ”
"You say, if we want to take back our dignity from Chiri City, what help do we still lack?" Cai Zhixu frowned slightly: "What is missing? That's a lot, cultivators, armor, immortal crystals, ......"
The old man of the Burning Body Clan swallowed a large piece of meat and nodded vigorously: "We are just short of money, now we need immortal crystals no matter what we do, if we have a lot of immortal crystals, we can hire a group of cultivators in this giant rock city, and we are afraid that those guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death in Red Sun City will not obey?"
Cai Zhixu had some doubts in his heart: "Uncle Shi, do you still know anyone else here?" The old man of the Burning Body Clan shook his head: "I don't know, someone came to the Burning Body City to send me a message two years ago, saying that he wanted to cooperate with us." ”
"At first, I was worried that it was a trap set by Akari Castle, but then I realized that this man knew us very well. Even the fact that I have the Thunderbolt Spirit Bead in my hand is very clear, and he said that he will provide us with enough Immortal Yuan to cause trouble......"
As soon as he said this, Cai Zhixu suddenly shouted: "Who is outside?" As he asked, the west wall cracked silently, and a figure with a robe almost the same color as the stone wall flashed in silently: "Brother Gongye, you are finally here." ”
The old man of the Burning Body Clan heard his voice and waved his hand at Cai Zhixu to indicate that it was okay: "Brother, you know my details very well, there are not many people in the Burning City who have this surname." ”
"The Gongye family was a Taoist family hundreds of years ago, and they were slaughtered by Chiri City in order to revitalize the Burning Body Clan. Although Brother Gongye has been unknown, when it comes to talisman making, he is stronger than the Xuantu family. If not, how could I have asked you for cooperation?"
The old man of the Burning Body Clan smiled a little sadly: "Don't say these useless things anymore, you let me come, I'm here now." Tell me, how exactly do you want to work together?"
"Help me get rid of some people, after the matter is completed, you can come here and take away ten immortal yuan every year......" The old man of the Burning Body Clan immediately put down the wine glass in his hand when he heard this: "...... every year, such a large amount, how can we trust you?"
The gray-robed man sneered: "Brother Gongye, if I'm not mistaken, it should be you who have secretly killed two elders in Red Sun City recently, but if you continue like this until you run out of life, how many more people can you kill?"
"If it's not at the end of the road, how can you be so impatient? Some of the people in the Burning Body Clan have already returned to the Xuanhuo Cities, and there are fewer and fewer people following you. Although this person has reached the realm of incarnation, how can he compete head-on with the five elders of the Red Sun?"
The old man of the Burning Body Clan's face was gloomy, and he obviously hit the sore spot by him: "Okay, I promise you." The gray-robed man laughed quite happily: "Brother Gongye, don't worry, you will not regret this decision." ”
Zhang Zhao did not listen to everyone's persuasion, and went to Flame City early the next morning. He found a restaurant with a wide view near Shura Terrace, ordered a table full of first-class delicacies, and sat in front of the window to carefully look at the more than 30 high platforms in the distance.
As the sun rose, cultivators began to climb the challenges everywhere. Zhang Zhao silently counted in his heart that more than ten people had died in less than an hour, and one of them was the original Shura master.
Until noon, several strong stage owners, including Taidan, didn't even show their faces, and the cultivator with the most consecutive wins on the field was only two games, and yesterday Zhang Zhao met the thin cultivator and was injured in the first game.
The more Zhang Zhao looked, the more surprised he became, during this time, there had been hundreds of people in Shuratai, but he didn't find that any of them could leave safely.
The cultivators who handed over the immortal crystals played in a row, and even if they were lucky enough to win a stage master, they would be defeated by the people who came up from behind. If anyone wins two battles, the Flame Hall will send a master with advanced cultivation to kill them.
"In fact, they all died at the hands of their own people, including those masters, eight out of ten were Burning Bodymen. No matter who wins or loses, the Flame Hall will not lose the slightest. ”
Cai Zhixu appeared beside Zhang Zhao silently, looking at the fight on the Shura platform with a sad face: "But they just can't understand that there are more and more clansmen who are desperate here, killing each other for Xianjing every day, but the result is that both people and money are empty." ”
Zhang Zhao invited him to sit down and poured a glass of wine and handed it over: "Are you here to persuade them to turn back?" Cai Zhixu looked up and drank the dry wine, only to feel that his mouth was bitter: "Who would listen? If it weren't for the son's rescue, even I wouldn't have had a chance to understand this truth." ”
"I'll do something with my uncle, if I have Xianyuan, maybe ......" Cai Zhixu poured himself a glass of wine and raised his salute: "Childe, you still don't want to move around these days, so as not to be affected." ”
"Demon Fire ......" shouted from the direction of the Shura Field, and Taidan, who was bubbling with blue flames above his head, rose like a demon god and landed on a Shura platform in the middle.
A challenger who was also shining with fire all over his body jumped on the Shura platform, he did not hesitate, his hands trembled and turned into dozens of fire snakes to tightly entangle Taidan, and the shouts from the audience rang out like a tide: "Kill him, kill him......"
The blue-white flames on the platform were in full bloom, and the countless fire snakes sent out by the cultivator were engulfed in an instant, and Taidan strode forward, drawing a circular arc of fire with his arms to encircle the opponent inside.
"Ah......" The cultivator was about to volley through the air but was stopped by Tai Dan with countless rope-shaped fire cables, and then the fire wall and fire net on the platform gradually tightened, dyeing all the bright yellow flames on his body blue and white.
The screams lasted only a short moment, and the long rope of flames swirled and threw the cultivator's charred body under the stage. Taidan raised his arms to the sky and roared, and then made an inviting gesture to the countless cultivators in the audience.
A sword-wielding cultivator with a light body ascended the high platform amid the call, and his steps were extremely agile and made a series of moves around Taidan, but soon he was still trapped by the surrounding firelight, and seeing that there was no way out, he held the knife in both hands and sprinted straight to Taidan's chest.
Covered in the flames, Taidan did not dodge, his hands parted as if he were greeting a friend, and let the long knife that screeched break through the flames in front of him and sink deep into his chest.
Zhang Zhao was slightly surprised, and then realized that the hundred refining long knife had been burned by the flames and could not hurt people like a piece of dough, and the knife cultivator whose hands were burned begged for mercy loudly: "Stop, I admit defeat...... Ah......h
Tydan ignored his words, clasped his hands back in his arms, and after a moment lifted the immobile corpse off the platform.
Zhang Zhao calculated that these two people were cultivators who had only won two games, maybe the performance of Shura on the field today was not satisfactory, and Taidan knew that there would be no opponents, so he would come out to try his luck.
The tragic death of the two cultivators did not make everyone flinch, and the cultivators who climbed the various Shura platforms fought even harder. Seeing this scene, Taidan on the stage walked slowly and waved his hand, and only left the stage amid the cheers of everyone after a long time.
"Everybody hates him, but they all want to be him. Cai Zhixu looked at the scene on the Shura platform and sighed sincerely: "For hundreds of years, the clansmen have been like this, and they did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives in order to please others. ”
Zhang Zhao didn't know much about the Burning Body Clan, and when he recalled what he had heard before, he wondered: "They are fighting to the death like this, is there no other way to make a living in the Burning Body City?"
"The Burning Body City has the largest distribution of jade mines in the Xuanhuo Domain, and the land is also vast and fertile. Although they have experienced countless wars over the past few hundred years, the people of the clan are unmatched by any city in Wuxuan. Roughly calculated, I'm afraid that one out of every two people in the Xuanhuo Domain now belongs to the Burning Body Clan. ”
Zhang Zhao was taken aback when he heard this: "There are so many people, why are you Burning Body Clan still being bullied by others?" He looked at the tens of thousands of cultivators under the Shura Stage, and felt incredible: "Even if there is only this power in front of you, no sect dares to despise it." ”
Cai Zhixu smiled bitterly: "What's the use of having more people? Gongzi doesn't know, not only in this Flame City, but also in the famous cities of the Xuanhuo Domain, there are also countless people in my Burning Body Clan. ”
"But the families in the clan have always been incompatible and fighting with each other, and they are servile when they treat outsiders. Even if someone can work hard in the burning city and accumulate some wealth, they will be plundered by those families and sacrificed to the cities of the Red Sun, so the land outside the city has been barren for many years.
"All the clansmen feel that they are of inferior status and ashamed to be born in the Burning Clan. It was the same with me back then, when everyone left the Burning City one after another while they were young, and did their best in various places, regardless of good or evil, just hoping to join other factions in order to get rid of the Burning Body. ”
"Doing the same work in the cities of the Xuanhuo Domain, the Burning Body Clan has twice as much wages. Being a guard in Akari Castle like I did is already a high-profile position......"
"Almost all the guards in the city are burners, and everyone would rather suffer and be humiliated outside than return to their homeland. If I can defeat that barbarian that day, I will be able to settle in the Red Sun City and be free from the slave covenant forever. ”
The more Zhang Zhao listened, the more he didn't understand: "You have such a strong strength, as long as you get together together, what kind of slave contract do you care about?" Cai Zhixu shook his head and sighed: "Now I understand that the slave contract is actually not in Chiri City, but engraved in the hearts of our people." ”
"Childe, look at it, they will cheer and cheer when they see their fellow people killed, just like I used to have a cultivated personality and will not stand up for the deceived clansmen, so it is even more common for thousands of Burning Clansmen to be humiliated by a foreign race everywhere......"
"The men in the clan protect themselves for personal gain, and the women only seek fine clothes and food, regardless of shame. These days, along the way, Zhixu's heart is miserable and the day he was dying alone in that arena......"
"That Taidan was my junior brother just now, and I was like a brother and sister when I was young, but now the two of us are strangers. Even so, we still have to fight hard, hoping to find a clear way for the revival of our people. ”
He said it impassionedly, which touched Zhang Zhao's heart, and after drinking a few glasses, the two asked curiously: "You and that senior are here to do something to revitalize the Burning Body Clan?"
Cai Zhixu nodded slowly: "Take it one step at a time, as long as we have Xianjing, we can at least recruit some more people, and maybe more people will join us......"
"Is that Tydan powerful?"
"We learned art in the Demon Fire Gate when we were young, and Shizun joined the Red Sun City wholeheartedly, and was later killed by someone when he quelled the fighting within the clan, I separated from him to survive, and with his talent, he was the one with the most promising ...... to break through the realm of transformation in the Burning Body Clan."
Zhang Zhao asked Taidan's moves, and Cai Zhixu came to his senses after saying a few words: "Childe, you asked in such detail, it doesn't seem like you want to bet, but like ...... Are you going to go on stage and do something with him?"
Zhang Zhao didn't hide it, first said that the Jiang family owed Xianyuan, and then said that he wanted to challenge Taidan to repay his debts for his friends. Cai Zhixu listened with appreciation: "The son's heart is kind and affectionate, and Zhixu admires it." ”
It was late before the two of them came out of the restaurant, and when they parted, Zhang Zhao finally asked the doubts in his heart: "Since Taidan is known as the first person under the incarnation, with your understanding of him, there is no other way to defeat him except the realm of incarnation?"
