Chapter XXIII: The Attitude of the Imperial Family

"Uncle Xue, where are we going next?, leaving the White Cloud Empire?" Tang Fan couldn't help but ask when he found that the direction Xue Wuxian was going was not the direction to Black Rock City.

"Leave the White Cloud Empire? No, let's go to Cloud Dragon City next. Xue Wuxian understood what Tang Fan was thinking, but he didn't explain too much.

Tang Fan didn't ask any more, since Xue Wuxian had already made arrangements, he just followed along, after all, he was not very familiar with this world, so he just went to see and understand.

And just when Xue Wuxian and Tang Fan rushed to Yunlong City, what happened during the opening of the King's Tomb gradually spread in the Great Wilderness Mountain, and then spread to Black Stone City and even the entire White Cloud Empire, causing a huge sensation.

"The tomb of the mercenary king Sha Tongtian has really been opened?"

"Yes, I heard that people from all the major families in Black Rock City have sent people, and even the Thirteen Princes have appeared. ”

"Yes, yes, I heard that they were surrounded by spirit beasts at the beginning, and it was the Thirteen Princes who broke the siege!"

"Cut, the exact news is that the people of the spirit beast clan are looking for a feline spirit beast, thinking that those people took it away, so they surrounded them, and then the thirteen princes reached an agreement with them, and the spirit beast dispersed.

It's just that later, someone deliberately killed cat spirit beasts when the strong men of the major families went down to the king's tomb, which angered the spirit beast clan and slaughtered the people left in the valley, and only more than 1,000 people survived. ”

"Ah, that spirit beast is so ferocious, wouldn't that anger the major families and imperial families of Black Rock City!"

"Anger the major families and royal families in Black Rock City? Hehe, they didn't kill the people of the major families and royal families, they all died of people from small mercenary groups and loose cultivators, who would stand up for them, and they died in vain. ”

"No, how did I hear that the elders of the Li family in Black Rock City were seriously injured, and the elders of the five families, including the Zhang family and the Wang family, died there, and the two guards of the thirteen princes also died. ”

"It wasn't killed by spirit beasts, they were killed in the tomb! I heard that it was Xue Wuji, the leader of the Snow Fox Mercenary Group, who killed the people.

He entered the tomb in advance, got the inheritance of the king of mercenaries, and his strength increased greatly, which injured Li Changfeng, the elder of the Li family, and he could also control the organs in the tomb, and used the organs to kill the elders of the Zhang family and the guards of the thirteen princes. ”

"Snow without a trace? He's awesome, isn't he afraid of being chased by major families and royal families?"

"Then who knows? Either he has any hole cards, or he has a bad brain. ”

"That's not right, people can escape from the Baiyun Empire if they kill someone, there's no need to wait here for death, you think he got the treasure in the tomb, isn't it chic!"

"Brother Gaojian, what you say makes sense!"

......

The White Cloud Empire is full of news about the tombs of kings, and there are various versions, true and false, false and true have become the biggest talking point before and after dinner.

Black Rock City, in the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion, all the family patriarchs who can rank in Black Rock City have arrived.

Sitting at the top was a middle-aged man with a pale face wearing a crown on his head, he was the Zhennan Wang Zong Yiren, the younger brother of the Emperor of the White Cloud Empire, and he was also a master of the royal family, a powerhouse in the Tianwu Realm.

Zong Yiren's feminine eyes glanced at the patriarchs of the various families sitting below, and said in a soft voice, "What do the patriarchs think about what happened in the Great Wilderness Mountain?"

The major patriarchs looked at each other, and Li Yunlei, the patriarch of the Li family, said with a sad and righteous face: "That Xue Wuxian is really mad, not only did he swallow the treasures in the tomb alone, but also slaughtered the elders of the major families and the guards of the prince, I suggest that a reward order be issued, and Xue Wuxian is wanted in the whole country!"

"Yes, a bounty order is issued, and the whole country wants Snow Without a Trace!"

"This kind of murderer, you can't let him get away with it!"

"Yes, he can't be allowed to get away with it!"

“......”

The patriarchs of the five families, including the Zhang family, the Wang family, echoed Li Yunlei's words, and even the other patriarchs nodded one after another.

"Is this your unanimous idea? Do you know the background of Snow Traceless?" Zong Yiren said lightly.

"Background?"

"Isn't it just a mercenary leader? I heard that his mercenary group has been wiped out by another mercenary group, and now he is the only one left. Could it be that he has other backgrounds?" Li Yunlei looked at Zong Yiren with a puzzled expression.

"This Xue Wuxian is not just the leader of a mercenary group, he is a member of the Xue family of the Xianwu Academy, and he is also the grandson of the former head of the Xue family. Zong Yiren's voice was still calm and light.

"Xianwu Academy Xue Family?" Many patriarchs were stunned, they had never heard of the Xue family, but they knew that Xianwu Academy was one of the top forces in the entire Southern Region.

The headquarters of Xianwu Academy is located in the center of the Southern Regions, and there are four branches under the academy, and there are eight other courtyards under each branch, and the Baiyun Empire has one of them.

Although the Xianwu Courtyard is a neutral force and does not participate in the affairs of the empire, it has a transcendent status in the Baiyun Empire, and no one dares to provoke it.

That Xue Wuxian is actually a person from the main courtyard of the Xianwu Academy, or the grandson of the old patriarch, that background is really scary, they really can't afford to mess with them, let alone them, the royal family of the White Cloud Empire can't afford to mess with them.

It's just that how could a person with such a background come to their wasteland and become the leader of a mercenary group, is it possible that people from that kind of big family are so good at playing?

The expressions of the major patriarchs fell on Zong Yiren's eyes, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and then said: "But I heard that this Xue Wuxian had a falling out with the Xue family because of some things before, and he ran out of the Xue family in a fit of anger.

Later, he came to the Great Wilderness Mountain and formed a mercenary group called Snow Fox, but the mercenary group has been wiped out, and it is the wild wolf mercenary group that found the tomb of the king.

Xue Wuxian was able to enter the king's tomb in advance, which should have something to do with this matter.

Okay, that's all I can tell you about the situation of Snow Without a Trace, what to do next, you should know in your hearts, but my imperial family will not be embarrassed by him. ”

Seeing that the major patriarchs were silent, Zong Yiren's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he continued: "Let's talk about what the Great Wilderness Mountain Beast Clan has done this time. ”

When it came to the matter of the Great Wilderness Mountain Beast Clan, the patriarchs of the major families had their expressions becoming more exciting, but they couldn't figure out what the attitude of this Zhennan King was, and no one spoke rashly for a while.

However, when Zong Yiren looked at them again, Li Yunlei, the patriarch of the Li family, was the first to speak again: "The beast clan has become more and more arrogant over the years, and has repeatedly entered the public area of the Great Wilderness Mountain in disregard of the agreement, and this time it has gone even further, and it has actually slaughtered humans in the public realm.

Although the slaughter was all mercenaries, these mercenaries are also the people of my White Cloud Empire after all, and if we don't give those beasts some color this time, maybe one day they will come to Black Rock City to kill people.

And after this incident happened, it also had a great impact on the hearts of the people of our Black Rock City, and if we didn't do anything, I am afraid that it would leave the impression that we were afraid of the beasts. ”

Then the patriarch of the Zhang family also spoke: "Yes, this time the beast clan did it, and they started killing people without asking, and nearly 10,000 people were slaughtered, they didn't take our Baiyun Empire seriously at all!"

Later, the other patriarchs also echoed it, and the general meaning was basically the same, all of them wanted to give the beast clan some color to see.

After everyone finished speaking, Zong Yiren said slowly: "The cause and effect of this matter must have been known to all the patriarchs, and I won't dwell on it anymore, I just want to remind you, do you know what the feline spirit beast they are looking for is?"

"Could it be that the feline spirit beast also has a strong background?"

Seeing Zong Yiren ask like this, the major patriarchs were shocked and muttered secretly.

"Isn't it just a feline spirit animal, how much background can it have, and it can withstand the lives of so many people? We can't always tie our hands and feet!"

At this time, a patriarch muttered quietly.

Zong Yiren glanced at the man, and said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Do you think that an ordinary spirit cat can alarm so many spirit beasts to come out to look for it? It is not an ordinary spirit cat, if my guess is right, it should be a chinchilla!"

"What?

Many people couldn't help but exclaim when they heard the word Totoro, and their faces became ugly.

They have all lived in Blackstone City for generations, and Blackstone City is the closest city to the Great Wilderness Mountain, and they have heard of the legend of Totoro.

If that cat-like spirit animal was a civet, then the reaction of the orcs would not be surprising.

If someone really touched the civet, not to mention that the orcs would kill so many mercenaries, it was possible for them to attack Blackstone City.

After all, Totoro's background is also scary, and its importance to the beast clan is self-evident, those beasts don't understand the world, and their personalities are more irritable, and they will start to do it if they don't agree with each other, and that will happen.

The major patriarchs fell silent again, if this matter is caused by Totoro, then it must be handled carefully, then Totoro's background is not much worse than Xue Wuxi, those people actually provoked it, it is really innocent.

Zong Yiren took in the expressions of the major patriarchs, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "A group of guys who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, it's strange that they can achieve great things." ”

However, on the surface, he still does it lightly, after all, he represents the royal family, and some things still have to be done well.

Zong Yiren cleared his throat and said with a serious face: "Although this matter started because of Totoro, no one has seen Totoro appear, and the beast clan has killed so many of us, this matter can't be just settled, otherwise, as you said, those spirit beasts may dare to kill people in this Black Rock City at any time."

So I decided that tomorrow the powerhouses above the Xuanwu Realm of our families will go to the beast clan with me to ask for an explanation, and ask the patriarchs to go back and prepare. ”

"This ......"

The major patriarchs didn't expect this Zong Yiren to come out like this, they wanted to refuse, but they didn't dare to say it, and they accepted the reality helplessly with bitter faces.

Zong Yiren didn't say anything more, and walked out of the hall with a cold face.
