Chapter 10: The Undercurrent of the Quartet
Seeing that the heads of the other two major families in Yifeng City had actually come to the City Lord's Mansion together, Shen Lie's heart surged.
Could it be that these few leaders want to provoke a big war between the four forces? No, no, the One Sword Sect has not yet arrived, and it seems that this is just foreplay.
Looking at the head of the Zhou family who was sitting on his side, Shen Lie suddenly had an idea.
"City Lord Sun, I don't know what great rebellion my rebel son has done, and he was imprisoned in the dungeon of Yifeng City. ”
"It's really a big rebellion, when Xing Zhutou of my city lord's mansion was patrolling outside, he saw Ling Lang on the roof of the Huancai Pavilion, and then a strong man jumped out of the Huancai Pavilion, and was given by Ling Lang" Sun Xingyi made a neck wiping motion at Shen Lie. "Click!"
Without the anger that Sun Xingyi imagined, Shen Lie said lightly: "City Lord Sun, look at this matter, how should you deal with my rebel?"
"Haha, such a simple question, do you still need to think about it? In my opinion, to repay debts and pay for death, this son is stubborn and murderous, if he is left alive, I don't know how many people will die at his hands. City Lord Sun, what do you say?" Li Kui laughed.
"Master Li, Xiaojie's child is young and vigorous after all, and it's nothing if he is angry. In my opinion, Xiao Jie definitely didn't mean to hurt people, it should be that strong man, he wanted to teach Xiao Jie a lesson, but he was killed by Xiao Jie by mistake. There's nothing wrong with Xiaojie in this matter. ”
"Old Zhou, what you said was wrong, it was a fresh human life. Sun Xingyi slowly spoke, also picked up the teacup, and took a sip slowly.
"A month later, the One Sword Sect opened the mountain to accept disciples, I think you all know about it. Shen Lie's words changed. "City Lord Sun, if you want to be chosen, I think our old bones will not work. ”
Seeing that no one interjected, Shen Lie continued
"And my family Jie Er has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his skills have even broken through to the same realm as Xing Zhutou, and in this Yifeng City, he can be regarded as the best among teenagers. If yes"
Zhou Shuren suddenly interjected: "If there is an immortal in my Yifeng City, it will be beneficial and harmless to you, the city lord." Only people like Xiaojie's generation have the hope of being chosen by the immortals. ”
"Hmph!" Li Kui snorted coldly and stopped talking.
"The head of the Shen family, the head of the Zhou family, this Yifeng City is not only your Shen family's Shen Jie!" Sun Xingyi shouted.
"Sun Xingyi, this Yifeng City is not the only one in your City Lord's Mansion!" Shen Lie slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Sun Xingyi and said angrily.
"It's a matter of course to kill people to pay for their lives!" Li Kui also slapped the table and stood up.
"Haha, everyone, in fact, no one knows what happened to this matter, right?" Zhou Shuren still sat on the chair and said with a smile.
Hearing Zhou Shuren's words, Sun Xingyi's face was slightly undetectable, and he said calmly: "Xing Zhutou of my City Lord's Mansion has seen it, that Shen Jie is using the Shen family's unique dragon pattern short sword!
Seeing that everyone was silent again, he pretended to say again: "Forget it, I won't pursue it, but Shen Jie must stay in the dungeon of Yifeng City for a month!
This is obviously the beginning of the transaction, a trade of human lives!
"Yes! Li Kui shouted.
"Master Shen, look" Zhou Shuren looked at Shen Lie, after all, he was someone else's child, and it was not his turn to call the shots.
"I agree, but you have to hand over Xing Qing to me! I heard that he threatened my son. And I want to see my son. Shen Lie spoke calmly.
Although he knew that Shen Lie's request was obviously unreasonable, he thought that if he could produce an immortal among his heirs, he would immediately be able to make the power of the City Lord's Mansion dominant, and from then on, let these old families be under his control.
As for Shen Jie, since there is no one who may be chosen by the immortals, there is no threat. Compared to immortals, he is not even a fart!
"Yes. I'll let Xing Qing go to your Shen Mansion later. But the Shen family master, you can't see Ling Lang now. ”
"Hmph, why not?" the green tendons on Shen Lie's forehead flaret up again.
"I just said that I can't see you now, Master Shen, it's not early, it's time to go back and rest, Ling Lang's safety, I guarantee with my life!"
Shen Lie stared at Sun Xingyi, the cold glint in his eyes flashed, and with a flick of his sleeves, he turned around and left the City Lord's Mansion.
The old man didn't bother anymore and took his leave. ”
Only Li Kui and Sun Xingyi were left in the City Lord's Mansion.
"City Lord Sun, he informed you. ”
"That's natural, this person is really good at getting rid of Shen Lie's lineage, it's a pity that Liang Zhuang is indeed a good martial artist. ”
"But there's that Xing Qing. ”
"The current Shen family, except for that Shen Jie, the others don't have to worry, get rid of him, the Shen family will definitely not be able to produce immortals! This time, the One Sword Sect opened the mountain to accept disciples, and it will definitely be able to choose my family's Sa'er! ”
When Li Kui heard this, he lowered his head, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
And at this moment, the Tianshu Empire, the Imperial City, and the Nine Emperors' Palace.
"Nine Emperor Princes, those five children are ready to go. A man bowed over to the man in front of him. Behind him, there were nine guard-like men on one knee,
"It's a long way to go, be careful all the way, make sure that these five children are safely taken to a place where they can take the test! The key to whether I can ascend the throne or not is in these five children. ”
After a pause, the Nine Emperor Princes continued to speak, "You must arrive in time when you set off overnight! Otherwise, you will bring me to see you! If everything goes well, when I ascend the throne, I will not be able to take you with me." Go for it!"
"Yes! Ten people responded in unison, slowly exited the room, and the two of them took a child and left the imperial city at night.
"Bang!" the Nine Emperor Princes slammed the table hard. "Mang Hanzong has too few places for the royal family every time, and there are not many monks in the foundation building period to support him, what can I do to fight with my eldest brother! Now that I have no one around me, I have to be careful. ”
Tianshu Empire, Imperial City, East Palace.
"It seems that my ninth brother still doesn't give up, Mr. Lu, what do you think?" a young man in a blue robe lay lazily on a rocking chair and asked the scribe in green clothes behind him casually.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Nine Emperors did this just to add a little weight to themselves, and this time he sent all his henchmen and warriors out, presumably with the intention of winning. If all the people who went out this time were folded outside."
"Mr. Lu has won my heart, hahahaha!"
On the Purple Void Mountain, in the Tianji Pavilion. The white-haired old man with sword eyebrows stood in the center of a complicated formation.
His eyes were closed, and the starlight of the formation under his feet flickered, as if echoing with the stars on the old man's star robe, changing with the stars in the night sky.
"The Child of Destiny has appeared, near the One Sword Sect. If he can deal with the approaching catastrophe, he must embark on the path of cultivating immortals. The old man muttered. Recently, his hexagram has become more and more dangerous, and it has shown the image of ten deaths and no life, alas. ”
At this moment, the stars flashed in the night sky, and the formation on the soles of the old man's feet suddenly became unstable.
"Huh?" The old man's perception told him that this change in the stars was likely to be related to the rise and fall of the entire Tianshu Continent. ”
Thinking of this, the old man's hands suddenly clasped together, formed a complicated handprint, and shouted: "Drink!"
"Poof!" a mouthful of blood burst out. stained the walls of the top floor of the Tianji Pavilion red. And that formation also slowly dissipated.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock. "A girl went up the stairs to the top floor.
"Master Ouyang!" Seeing the old man in the star robe fall to the ground, the girl hurriedly ignored the rules, and flew to the old man's side and knelt down. "Master Ouyang!"
"Tell Senior Brother Tianjizi, cough cough" The old man in the star robe coughed up a mouthful of blood again. Seeing this, the girl tried to stop him from continuing to speak, but he stopped him with his eyes.
"Originally, the Son of Destiny showed the appearance of ten deaths, ahem. But just now, a star has changed the hexagram, and a hint of vitality has appeared, cough cough. This star has a lot to do with my Purple Void Mountain, so Senior Brother Tianjizi, ahem, uh!
Seeing that the old man was about to swallow his breath, he saw the green light on the girl's hand looming, brushing over the old man's body.
"Master!" the girl in green had tears in her eyes, and her sad look was distressing.
Seeing this, tears also flowed from the old man's eyes, but he didn't have any words of thanks, and continued to speak: "Pay attention, this calamity, the One Sword Sect, is the key! The person who changed the hexagram will also be there! Nan'er, go down, cough cough." Since the hexagram of the Great Tribulation appeared, I have been spying on the heavens for many years, and the time limit has come. Just let me look at the starry sky again. ”
"Master!" the girl in green heard this, and the tears in her eyes could not be suppressed.
"Go on! If you don't become a true immortal, you still have to have different paths after all. Lu'er, don't use that trick anymore. The star-robed old man looked at the bright starry sky above his head and slowly closed his eyes. "It's nice to be able to look at the starry sky before you die, Xiaoman. ”
In the Sword Sect, in the Sword Shrine.
"Sect Master, can you arrange the matter of opening the mountain and accepting disciples?"
"Returning to Elder Taishang, a limited number of tasks have been issued within the sect, and according to what the Elder of the Accounting Office said, in about a month, the disciples can set off and go to the large and small towns within the scope of the prophecy. ”
"That's good, Purple Void Mountain's prophecy, but there has never been any major mistakes. This matter must be handled with heart, and the disciples recruited, regardless of their background, are only judged by their strength! I think that the son of prophecy should not be a waste. ”
"Yes! ”
Outside Yifeng City, in Lei Mu Sen, inside the Immortal Cave Mansion.
"Damn! I've been looking at it for two days, and I still don't see what it is, is it really the same as the kid said? There's no treasure here, and this mural was painted casually?"
"Forget it, it's hard to receive the goods no matter how much you look at it, this time the One Sword Sect braved the world's disapproval, and actually opened a mountain to accept disciples, which really broke the rules of the immortal cultivation world, and I don't know how many peers there will be on this trip, oh roar roar roar. The woman moved and disappeared into the cave, leaving only laughter echoing.
At this time, the three major empires on the Tianshu Continent, the Tianshu Empire, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Firmament Empire. All have been turbulent to varying degrees.
This turmoil made ordinary thieves dare not go out of the mountains to rob for a long time, and also made many life-saving runners stay at home.
Because, most of the people who don't do it stop breathing forever.
