Chapter 172: Continuation of Life

The next day, Sioux House.

The old lady was sitting on the main seat of the council hall, and on her left and right stood nearly ten loyal pillars of the Su family.

At this time, the wrinkles on her face have become significantly less, and the loose skin has become firmer, looking as if she has rejuvenated, of course, it is not so exaggerated, after the old lady used the water essence, her face only returned to the state of ten years ago.

If she didn't speak, the people around her didn't dare to speak, this was the deterrent power of the real head of the Su family.

"Tell me, what should you do next?" the old lady's triangular eyes glanced at his henchmen, including his son Su Rui.

They all buried their heads, no one took the initiative to answer the old lady's question, they have known the deterrent power of the dragon since childhood, the dragon of the last session, it is said that he alone guarded a city for the Great Zhou. Anyway, it was definitely not something that their Su family could contend with, but they knew that the old lady still seemed to want to go against Su Ze.

"Alas" the old lady sighed, pointed at these people and said, "I really don't know why the huge Su family can't come out with someone who can stand up at a critical moment." "She is now on top of her anger, and the water spirit disappeared for no reason after she planted a wisp of divine consciousness, but fortunately, the role of prolonging life has been reflected.

In the face of the old lady's reprimand, Su Rui was full of slander in his heart, why the people of the Su family are like this, don't you know it enough? It's not because this mother controls all the rights of the Su family, and the people under his hands are just a group of empty shells with nothing to show for themselves.

I don't know why my mother's luck is so good, she can actually receive a water spirit from someone else, and if she continues like this, she may really be able to boil herself to death. Su Rui was extremely helpless in his heart, if he wanted to be the real person in power, he had to wait for his mother to pass away. The relationship between him and Lao Taijun has been washed away by time, and only the indelible blood relationship remains.

"Su Rui. The old lady suddenly called out his name, which frightened Su Rui, and subconsciously thought that his rebellious thoughts were known to his mother, and hurriedly bent down in front of the old lady sitting on the wooden chair.

The old lady glanced at Su Rui, who was sweating profusely, didn't she know what her son was thinking?

"Everyone else should step back first, remember to be vigilant these days, and be ready to face Su Ze's revenge at any time. As soon as the old lady gave the order, the high-level Su family who was usually domineering dispersed and left the council hall, leaving Su Rui alone to face the old lady.

"Su Rui, let me ask you, why do I feel that my body bones have deteriorated after using the water essence?" asked the old lady coldly, even if she was not a cultivator, but she was drained of ten years of life, she could still faintly detect this change.

A drop of cold sweat ran down Su Rui's cheeks and fell to the ground, and he hurriedly explained: "Mother, this is definitely not what I did!"

Looking at Su Rui, who was like a coward, the old lady's suspicion became more and more intense, and in the end, Su Rui couldn't help but tremble.

"Okay, stand up, let others see this appearance, how can you, the head of the Su family, continue to be the head of the Su family?" Although the person who wants to die the most is Su Ze is Su Rui, but the old lady also knows the character of his son, he has a thief's heart but no thief's courage, Su Rui can't do this kind of thing to harm himself.

After Su Rui straightened up, his face was pale, and his lips trembled and said, "Could it be Su Ze's hand?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"In the Su family, apart from me, only Su Ze knows the origin of this thousand-year-old water spirit, he has a long-standing grudge against his mother, maybe he has already secretly moved his hands and feet. In order not to be thrown away as an outcast by his mother, Su Rui put this big black cauldron on Su Ze's head.

The old lady nodded, and agreed with Su Rui's statement, even if he knew who the real murderer was who he was, he was now powerless.

The longer people live, the more afraid of death becomes, and the old lady who is in charge of the Su family is naturally no exception, she now feels that her physical condition is very poor, like a lamp that may go out at any time, and she urgently needs to refill the lamp oil for herself.

"Su Rui, after going down, go back and find some children. The old lady said suspiciously.

"Ah, mother, the government has begun to be vigilant. Su Rui replied, he was telling the truth, although Chaofeng City was extremely good, but after the disappearance of so many children, it was inevitable that others would notice.

The old lady raised her eyebrows, and scolded angrily: "Tell you to do it, you do it, where did all this nonsense come from, is it that if I die, you will be happy?"

Su Rui was trembling, and he didn't dare to resist at all, "Okay, I'll go down and do it." ”

The old lady was angry, and now her chest was still rising and falling violently, and she continued to instruct with her brows furrowed: "There are not enough children in the slums, so go to other places to find them, as fast as you can, I can't wait long." ”

"Yes!" As soon as he heard in a deep voice, Su Rui bowed backwards and left the council hall.

After walking out of the council hall, Su Rui clenched his fists, and now he couldn't wait to send that old thing to the west with one punch.

However, after a long time, he let go of his fist, glanced around, and after confirming that there was no spy from his mother, Su Rui hurriedly left here.

Why are the people of the Su family so afraid of an old lady who has never practiced? Because they have been forcibly integrated into the ancestral hall of the Su family since they were young, as long as the heads of the Su family are willing, they can take their lives at any time.

When Su Ze joined the Su family, because the old lady looked down on his son-in-law, he did not integrate his essence and blood into the ancestral hall, otherwise there would not be such an embarrassing situation as today.

Ten years ago, the old lady of the Su family was terminally ill, his longevity was about to end, and he was already a person who had stepped into the coffin board with half a foot, just when everyone in the Su family was extremely sad on the surface and smiled in their hearts, a person from the Su family came.

This person is very strange, tall, but his face is not clear, and everyone who sees him can't help but make way for him, and this person comes to the old lady without hindrance, and tells the old lady the method of an evil art to continue his life.

Then this person left quietly, and in order to survive, the old lady sent someone to collect the hearts of ninety-nine children according to the content of the evil arts, and then refined it into a blood pill, after taking it, her illness was miraculously cured, and the longevity was extended for a year.

Ninety-nine people's lives can be exchanged for a year's longevity, although this means is extremely vulgar, but it is the old lady's life-saving straw, the Su family is forced by the pressure of the old lady, so they only continue this evil act every year...

In the council hall, there was no light at this time, the old lady's whole body was wrapped in darkness, and a black dark iron token was held in her hand, she remembered what the evil cultivator said when he left, it seemed that ten years later, he would return to Chaofeng City...
