Chapter 795: The Crisis of the Crystal Gate
Elwyn Kingdom, Shining Gold City, Crystal Gate
I saw that there was a depression here, and there was no longer the grandeur of the previous dignified bronze power, and even the position of the gatekeeper was only two middle-aged warriors, and they were also depressed, not to mention that this scene was compared with the time when the Crystal Gate dominated the Golden City a few years ago, even when the previous door master Meng Duo was defeated by Xiao Di and then retreated.
The reason for all this comes from the conspiracy two years ago, when the Mu family, one of the eight wealthy families, in order to get a heavy reward given by Chrissy, the head mother of the Rafa family, and also to breathe a sigh of relief for himself, he once sent someone to find the people from the Crystal Gate to help, but he didn't expect that Mondo, who had been in retreat, successfully broke through to the seventh order, and then refused to deal with the Shura Gang and beat the messenger sent by the Mu family.
Since then, the Crystal Gate has been on the blacklist of the Mu family, because the Crystal Gate was originally a subordinate force of the Mu family, so if the Mu family dealt with the Crystal Gate, it was very simple, and since then, the small shoes on it have been thrown, either asking for additional fees or arranging many thankless tasks, and at the same time, they have also taken good care of their competitors in the Shining Gold City, the life of the Crystal Gate has become more and more difficult, and many disciples and even elders have left on their own and even defected to the Yin and Yang Building.
And Mondo didn't care about this at all, let it go, whoever wanted to go, anyway, he just practiced behind closed doors, and all the affairs were pushed to the deputy master Sima Yi and Zhuge Shanzhen and others, although these two old men were loyal and dedicated, but after all, the strength and prestige were not enough to deter outsiders, so the situation of the Crystal Gate could only get worse and worse, and now the number of people still in the sect is only one-third of the original, and most of them are still old, weak, sick and disabled.
But even so, the people of the Mu family did not intend to let go of the Crystal Gate, if it weren't for the fact that directly sending a master to get rid of the Crystal Gate would cause panic among the rest of the subordinate forces, and at the same time give an excuse to the competitors, they would have killed Mondo a long time ago, but they kept arranging new tricks to torture the people of the Crystal Gate like cats and mice, and over time they seemed to find endless pleasure from this.
On this day, the Crystal Gate ushered in a few messengers of the Mu family, and this time both pomp and momentum were different from before, in the past, it was basically just a few little minions of the Mu family who came to fight the autumn wind, at most it was just a small steward, but this time from the grade of the carriage and the entourage, it turned out to be two elders, in addition to the Yin Yang Building, a deputy door master named Loew accompanied, just like a loyal dog, when the Mu family suppressed the Crystal Gate, the Yin and Yang Building took the opportunity to oppose the guest in the past two years.
Seeing this battle can frighten the guards of the Crystal Gate, when have they seen such a big scene, they hurriedly rushed inside to inform, Sima Yi and Zhuge Shanzhen were also startled when they heard it, and the two of them hurriedly came out of the gate.
Seeing the arrogant fingers of the two elders of the Mu family, Loew immediately nodded like a dog and ran over, one of the elders whispered a few words to him, he nodded again and again, and then ran back again, but his expression had already changed to a high-minded look, and his head was about to be raised to the sky.
He arrogantly said to Yi Lao and Zhuge : "I said the two deputy sect masters, aren't you two blind? Here are the two elders of the Mu family, Mu De and Mu Long, don't you hurry up and come over to pay respects?"
Yi Lao and Zhuge were also startled when they heard that it was the elders of the Mu family, and hurriedly came over to pay respectful respects, Mu De waved his hand casually and said, "Okay, get up, you won't just let us stay here at the gate, right?"
Yi Lao hurriedly invited everyone to the noble living room of the Crystal Gate, and asked people to bring the best tea and snacks, and then asked with a smile: "Several adults have worked hard all the way, may I ask what you are doing here this time? β
Mu De took a sip of the tea bowl and frowned: "What kind of inferior tea is this, you are embarrassed to take it out to entertain us?" It seems that the rumors are really true, your crystal gate is becoming more and more presumptuous, by the way, where is your door master Mondo, why don't you come over to meet our brother, don't you take our Mu family in your eyes, huh?"
With his cold snort, the people in the crystal gate in the house suddenly felt a huge pressure, and they all fell to the ground involuntarily, and the weak ones even fell down directly and couldn't get up, Yi Lao didn't look good, the difference between the two sides in terms of identity and status was too far, this Mu De probably should already have the strength of the eighth order, and he was just playing with these people to deal with him.
He hurriedly kowtowed again and pleaded: "Two elders, please don't be angry, our Mondo Sect Master has been in retreat for a long time, and we haven't even seen him, so I'll personally go and invite him over, and I hope that the Lord will accept the coercion." β
Seeing the embarrassed appearance of a large group of people in the Crystal Gate, Mu De felt a little satisfied this time, and withdrew his coercion: "Then hurry up and call Mondo over, Elder Ben has something important to tell you." β
At this time, someone outside suddenly said calmly: "Meng is here, I don't know what is so important, and I still need to drive the two elders of the Mu family here?"
At this time, I saw that as soon as the door opened, Mondo walked in, Yi Lao and the others had not seen him for several months, only to see that he was much thinner than before, his eyes were deep-set, his beard was unkempt, only his eyes were still sharp.
Seeing Mondo, Loew was anxious to show himself, and shouted: "Mondo, the elder of the wooden family is here, you don't go far to greet him, and he is still so unkempt, do you still have superior forces in your heart?"
Mondo's eyes swept Loew coldly, Loew suddenly felt as if he was splashed with cold water, his whole body was trembling, and the cruel words behind him were also swallowed back in fright, he hurriedly leaned towards Mude and them, and then he felt safer.
Mu De's eyes also lit up instantly, and he looked back and forth on Mondo before saying: "Seventh-order peak cultivation, compared to the intelligence of a year ago, it's not easy, Mondo, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant, but your strength is also here in Shining Gold City, it's nothing compared to us, hehe." β
Meng Duo said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Meng has neither resources nor famous teachers to guide him, of course, he can't compare with the dignified Mu family, and Meng is willing to bow down to this." β
Mu De sneered: "Even if you are still a little self-aware, but even if you have those things, you can't compare with us, the humble blood you keep on your body has already doomed you to be only an ant crawling on the ground in this life, and you can only look up to us eagles in the sky." β
Mu Long waved his hand and said, "Third brother, why bother talking nonsense with them, just tell them our intentions directly, it will save a waste of time." β
Mu De nodded and said: "What the fifth brother said is also true, Mondo, we came here this time to inform you that we now need to prepare war materials for the Mu family, so all subordinate forces need to increase the amount of contributions, after our discussion, this time your crystal gate will be doubled, in addition, you need to provide an additional thousand disciples to help - you must be young and strong, do you understand what I said? β
Everyone in the Crystal Gate gasped when they heard this, in the past two years, under the suppression of the people at all levels of the Mu family, the bright and dark Crystal Gate does not know how much money has been consumed, and now the accumulation of decades has been almost spent, and this time to double the contribution will basically be able to smash the pot and sell iron, not to mention a thousand disciples, and the remaining young members of the current Crystal Gate may add up to so much, which will be sent to the Crystal Gate There is an empty shelf left.
Elder Yi hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Elder Mu Mingjian, it's not that we don't help with this matter, it's really beyond our ability, if you don't believe it, please check it in our warehouse." β
Loew came back to life at this time, and said in a strange manner: "Yo~, Deputy Gang Leader Sima, what are these words, who doesn't know that your Crystal Gate is very rich, and you have been powerful here in Shining Gold City for decades, and you don't know how many benefits, so what does it matter if you contribute a little to the superior forces? Check the warehouse? β
Yi was trembling with anger, and at this time, Meng Duo suddenly twitched and said, "Two Elders Mu, I want to ask, Yin Yang Mansion also has the same contribution as us this time, right?"
Loew sneered: "Of course this is different, of course you have to contribute a little more to the Crystal Gate, our Yin Yang Building has few people, and it remains the same." β
Mondo asked rhetorically: "If you want to say that the development of our Crystal Gate was a little better in the past, I also admit it, but now everyone can see what we are, and the money is just that, and we have less than a thousand young disciples in the whole sect now, so where can we find someone?" Elder Mu, this seems a bit unreasonable, right?"
Mu De said lazily: "LΓΆw's deputy sect master is right, this contribution is formulated by us according to the situation of each power, everything is for the overall situation, Mondo Sect Master, we will not forget the contribution of your crystal gate, and we will definitely give you a return after the development of our Mu family grows stronger in the future, you can rest assured, hahaha." β
Meng Duo was silent, Yi Lao Zhuge and the others also looked gloomy, this Mu De obviously said all the pretexts, if the crystal gate did what they said this time, I am afraid that it will never exist again in the future, what will be the future return?
But if they don't agree, then they can just take the opportunity for their subordinates to disobey the order and directly forcibly interfere, otherwise they won't send two eighth-order masters to come, this time it seems that they are determined to play the Death Crystal Gate, and I don't know if the people of the Yin and Yang Building are in the middle and are fueling the trouble, once the Crystal Gate falls, they can easily dominate the Shining Gold City.
