Chapter 288: Mixed reactions
The situation of the Northern Wilderness is quite special, because Qiu Punke, the original city lord of the Northern Wilderness City, is dead, so it cannot be summoned by the city lord.
However, fortunately, the sect masters of the ten major sects of the Northern Wilderness have left communication soul marks for each other, and some elders also leave communication soul marks for each other, in order to facilitate communication.
In this way, the summons of the Northern Wilderness was directly handed over to the Great Elder Xu Linxian to be responsible.
Xu Linxian immediately summoned the great elders of the major sects in the Northern Wilderness, and officially conveyed the matter of the Sect Meeting.
After receiving Xu Linxian's summons, the nine major sects had mixed reactions.
Xuanyi Sect has been attached to the Mountain and River Sect, naturally there will be no objections, but I feel very shocked, although Yan Wuru expected that the Mountain and River Sect would take this step sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and the way was still so intense, and it was directly opposed to all the sects!
Although shocked, Yan Wuru was not worried about the Shanhe Sect, to be precise, he was not worried about Tang Chen, because he knew Tang Chen's strength and means, that was the person who could even be subdued by the city lord of the Northern Wilderness City, how could he not be able to subdue these sects.
He was sure that once Tang Chen revealed his means, those sects would definitely choose to join him as soon as they did......
The most fierce reaction to the matter of the merger sect was the Northern Wilderness Sect, they were already very unhappy because the sect competition fell from the first place to the fifth place, and it can be said that they were holding back the fire in their stomachs, and now they suddenly heard that the Shanhe Sect actually wanted to merge with the sect, and they immediately broke out.
"Is this the Shanhe Sect trying to turn the sky upside down? It's really beyond his strength, thinking that if he is lucky enough to win the first place in a big competition, he will really be invincible in the world? I'm going to let them see who is the biggest in this Northern Wilderness!" Tuoba Xiong, the sect leader of the Northern Wilderness Sect, couldn't help but jump like thunder after listening to the Great Elder Tuoba Hong's message.
Tuoba Hong wiped his forehead, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, he knew the temper of the sect master very well, he was angry, it was best to say more, but there were some things that could not be said.
Tuoba Xiong's eyes were swollen with anger, and he swept over the elders fiercely, stopped at Tuoba Hong, and said in an unkind tone: "Tuoba Hong, if you have something to say, let it go, don't hold it there and die!"
Tuoba Hong was scolded so much that the bruises on his forehead jumped, and he lowered his head and replied: "Sect Master, please calm your anger! This matter has to be considered in the long run......
"Smack!"
Before Tuoba Hong finished speaking, Tuoba Xiong slapped him on the desk, interrupted him, and scolded: "Think about it in the long run! With the strength of the Shanhe Sect, what is there to discuss? If it weren't for the scruples of the city lord of the Northern Wilderness City, Lao Tzu would have led people to destroy them!"
"That's what the Sect Master said!" Tuoba Hong patted his ass in time, and then continued: "However, didn't the Sect Master find anything wrong?"
Tuoba Xiong raised his eyebrows, glared at Tuoba Hong, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't be a mother-in-law!"
Tuoba Hong smiled awkwardly and replied, "The Mountains and Rivers Sect dares to convene the Combined Sect Assembly with great fanfare, aren't they afraid of the City Lord of the Northern Wilderness City?"
Hearing this, Tuoba Xiong's brows suddenly twisted into a ball, as if he was talking to himself: "Yes, aren't they afraid that the Northern Wilderness City will destroy them?......
After waiting for a while, Tuoba Hongcai said again: "In my opinion, there must be a hidden secret here, we must not be impulsive at this time, it is better to wait and see what happens." ”
Tuoba Xiong nodded, his anger seemed to subside, and asked, "Can you guess what the secret is?"
Tuoba Hong shook his head and replied, "I don't know." But why don't we report this to the lord of the city, and whether the lord knows it or not, we will not make a mistake in doing so. ”
"Yes, yes, tell the lord of the city......"
As he spoke, Tuoba Xiong took out the communication star device and prepared to send a message to the city lord Qiu Punk, however, his soul sense swept away and he was immediately stunned.
Tuoba Hong saw the sect master's strange state and couldn't help asking, "Sect master, what's wrong?"
Tuoba Xiong was still shocked and puzzled, and replied, "City Lord...... The communication soul mark left by the city lord is actually gone!"
"What ?!......"
Hearing this, there was a sudden exclamation in the main hall, everyone knew that this meant that the city lord was likely to have fallen, and only in this way would his communication soul seal dissipate on its own.
After exclaiming, the hall fell into a dead silence, only the "dong dong" sound of the sect master's fingers tapping on the table was rhythmically sounding.
After a long while, the sound of "dong dong" suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at the sect master above.
Tuoba Xiong looked at everyone with a solemn expression and said, "Second Elder, go and investigate immediately, at all costs, you must find out what happened to the Mountain and River Sect recently, as well as what happened to the Northern Wilderness City, and why the city lord died." ”
"Yes!"
The second elder sitting under Tuoba Hong agreed, and immediately got up and went.
"Great Elder, you immediately contact the people of the Auction Hall and test their tone to see if you can use them to contain the Shanhe Sect. Tubaxiong continued.
Tuoba Hong agreed, and immediately got up and left.
"The rest listened to the order, the whole sect entered the highest state of alert, all the people outside were summoned, and all the protective arrays of the sect were opened. Tuoba Xiong continued to order.
"Sect Master, the subordinates are a little unclear, the Mountain and River Sect is just convening a joint sect meeting, why are we so nervous?" someone asked.
Tuoba Xiong glanced at this person and explained: "If the city lord was killed by the Shanhe Sect, then it means that the strength they have accumulated is already terrifying! We have a grudge against the Shanhe Sect for a long time, and I am afraid that they will deal with us specifically......
After listening to the sect master's explanation, everyone's mood suddenly became heavy, they all knew that the city lord of the Northern Desolation City was a beginner-level Star Emperor, if the Shanhe Sect could kill the city lord, it would mean that the Shanhe Sect at least had a primary-level Star Emperor powerhouse, and this kind of strength was not at all something that their Northern Desolation Sect could compete with.
Seeing that everyone's morale was a little low, Tuoba Xiongton shouted: "For the sake of the sect, why are you afraid of death! Why are you still stunned one by one, why don't you prepare quickly?"
Everyone looked stunned and replied in unison: "Yes!"
And when they had said that, they got up and went out of the temple.
But at this moment, an unfamiliar voice remembered in the air above the main hall: "I'm here, you don't have to go." ”
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and they showed their weapons one after another, assuming a defensive posture as if facing a great enemy.
"Who?"
Tuoba Xiong held the spear in his hand and shouted loudly, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed, but he turned up a monstrous wave, he knew very well that the one who came must be a fierce enemy, and a fierce enemy that they could not deal with!
From the fact that the other party was able to quietly come to their near side, it could be seen that its strength was more than one or two levels higher than them, and it was likely to be a Star Emperor powerhouse.
"Crunch ......"
The door of the hall was slowly pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in with a smile, it was one of the ten people that Tang Chen had newly subdued, Xuanyuan Xingyan from the Xuanyuan family.
