In the early morning of the next day, in the courtyard outside the guest room where Li Aotian of the Han Mansion lived, Han Leng and the high-ranking members of the Han family gathered in one courtyard.

Unlike yesterday when he was in the Hanguang Palace, in today's courtyard, Zhu Ziyan, the former head of the Zhu family, is not there, but there are five more older Han family powerhouses of the older generation.

These five people are all gray-haired male old men, although they look like they are about to enter the earth, but the cultivation of the five people is not weak, and they have all reached the level of a half-step Xuan King.

"Han Leng, why hasn't Senior Li come out yet?"

Looking at the closed door of the guest room in front of him, among the five elder powerhouses of the Han family, a hunchbacked old man with a rickety figure couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe Senior Li is cultivating, after all, he only had a fierce battle with the Supreme Elder of the Nine Shadows Hall last night, and he needs to take some time to adjust his state, which is also reasonable. ”

Han replied with a sneer, although he was the head of the Han family, he obviously had great respect for the hunchbacked old man in front of him.

"Alas, in the final analysis, it's still our fault, blame us for being old, and we can't do anything for the family, otherwise we wouldn't have to ask for foreign aid to help resolve the family crisis. ”

The hunchbacked old man sighed.

"Second uncle, I can't blame you for this, the main reason why my Han family is in crisis is not in force. ”

"The reason why my Han family has become what it is now is mainly because the five major families have suppressed a large number of industries and businesses of my Han family in the city, which is equivalent to cutting off our lifeline, and this is not a problem that can be solved by force alone. ”

Han Leng said helplessly.

"It is true that it cannot be solved by force alone, my Han family is a huge family, and there are thousands of people in the side and outside of the lineage. “

"With so many people, they need to consume a lot of cultivation resources every day, and without enough sources of income at the moment, it is quite difficult to support it, after all, we can't choose to go to war with the five major families head-on. ”

The hunchbacked old man said with a gloomy face.

"It's all because of my incompetence as the head of the family, and it's because I failed to take care of the family that the family is facing today's situation. Han Leng said with a self-reproachful face.

"You don't need to blame yourself too much, and you can't blame it all, after all, you are not only the head of my Han family, but also the city lord of this Taiyin City, the burden on your body is too heavy, and it is normal to inevitably have negligence. ”

"But my Han family can't fall this time, once it falls, there will be no day to turn over in this Taiyin City!"

The hunchbacked old man said with a serious expression.

Han Leng nodded when he heard this: "I know, isn't there still Senior Li, let's rest assured!"

"Father, hasn't Senior Li come out yet?"

A silver shadow came from the sky in the distance and quickly landed beside Han Leng, it was Han Lingsha.

"Han Lingsha has seen several ancestors!"

As soon as she landed, Han Lingsha saw the five hunchbacked old men, and although she was a little surprised, she still respectfully saluted the five people.

"No need to be polite, Lingsha has grown so big, and her cultivation has also reached the triple level of the Divine Wheel, not bad, this cultivation speed is no worse than your brother!"

Glancing at Han Lingsha, the hunchbacked old man praised with a smile.

Facing the praise of the hunchbacked old man, Han Lingsha shook her head modestly: "Qing Ancestor praises it, my eldest brother is a cultivation genius, and I can't compare with him." ”

"Lingsha, you brought Senior Li to this room last night, did he have anything to say to you?"

Han Leng diverted the topic with some curiosity and asked.

"I didn't say anything, I just talked about it casually. Han Lingsha said very casually.

"Reminiscence, I forgot to ask if you didn't say this, how did you and Senior Li meet, he actually saved you, why didn't you tell me?"

Han Leng continued to ask with more interest.

"It's not a big deal. ”

"Once, I took on a sect mission to hunt demon beasts with a few fellow disciples, but I encountered danger when hunting demon beasts. ”

"By the way, Zhu Dachang was also with us at that time, so Senior Li also knew him. ”

It seems that he had already guessed that Han Leng would ask, and Han Lingsha told the acquaintance that Li Aotian made up last night.

Han Leng was a little speechless when he heard this: "It's as simple as that?"

"It's as simple as that, oh, by the way, when hunting demon beasts, I and several of my fellow disciples were seriously injured, and Senior Li deliberately protected the Dharma for us for three days in order to let us heal with peace of mind. ”

"At that time, Zhu Dachang's pig-headed saw that Senior Li was a good person, and secretly asked Senior Li to help him say good things in front of me, but I also sulked. ”

Han Lingsha continued to add.

"I really didn't expect that the powerhouse of the Xuanwang realm of Senior Li would be so attentive to you juniors. ”

"But you and Dachang are bold enough, one asks Senior Li to help say good things, and the other dares to sulk without giving Senior Li face, if you are not my daughter, I don't believe half a word of these words. ”

Han Leng shook his head angrily and said.

"What's not to believe in this, in fact, it's mainly because Senior Li hid his cultivation, and the cultivation talent he showed at that time was ninefold, plus he was young and young, so we just thought he was an ordinary friend who met in Pingshui. ”

Han Lingsha continued to lie.

"This makes sense, many seniors like to play the world, you can happen to meet Senior Li, it's really a godsend, Senior Li said yesterday, the reason why he agreed to help my Han family is more or less to see a little face from you. ”

Han Leng was deeply gratified.

Han Lingsha smiled and said nothing, but in her heart she was thinking that Li Aotian's talent for making up nonsense was no worse than his cultivation talent, and even his scheming father believed it, and he still believed it.

Time flashed by and it was nearly an hour.

Under the bitter waiting of everyone in the Han family, Li Aotian still did not show up, so that many people even secretly wondered if Li Aotian had already secretly left.

"Father, it's not a way for us to wait like this, or... Let me go in and see!"

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Han Lingsha said a little impatiently.

When Han Leng heard this, he shook his head with a serious expression: "No, Senior Li hasn't shown up until this moment, there must be something important to do, maybe it's because our cultivation has reached a critical moment, since we have a request for others, how can we be rude and rashly disturb, wait patiently!"

"Han Leng, hand over the person who killed my Supreme Elder of the Nine Shadows Palace!!"

Suddenly, a voice full of anger suddenly came from afar, and then a dozen rays of light pierced the sky and quickly flew to the sky above the courtyard where Han Leng and the others were, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Han family.

The people who came were all men, and their cultivation was above the Yuandan realm.

Especially the first middle-aged man with tiger beard wearing a black robe, he was covered with a faint layer of black demonic energy, judging from the true yuan aura that was exposed, his cultivation had surpassed the limit of the Yuan Dan realm and reached the level of the Xuan King realm.

"Nine Shadows Hall Lord Nie Kong Split!"

Looking coldly at the middle-aged man with tiger whiskers in mid-air, Han Leng couldn't help but exclaim, obviously knowing the other party.

With a flash of aura, the tiger-bearded man with a group of more than a dozen people quickly landed in the courtyard where Han Leng was.

"Lord Han, long time no see!"

Facing Han Leng's eyes, the tiger bearded man said in a cold tone.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, it's been more than ten years before and after, Hall Master Nie, I didn't expect you to have broken through the bottleneck and entered the realm of King Xuan, the key is that you haven't revealed the slightest rumor. ”

Han said lukewarmly.

"Why, aren't you a little disappointed, you Han Leng is known as the first person under the Xuanwang in the northwest of my Guhua Continent, but now I am already a cultivator in the Xuanwang realm, and you are still wandering in the Yuandan Jiuzhong. ”

The tiger-bearded man who was called Nie Kong's crack by Han Leng sneered and mocked.

"I can't talk about disappointment, it's just a little unexpected, I didn't expect that your Nine Shadows Hall actually has two Xuanwang-level powerhouses at once, you must know that Haoyuemen and the True Thunder Sect and the like, but there is only one Xuanwang powerhouse. ”

Han Leng said meaningfully.

"What's so surprising about this, my Nine Shadows Hall has always been stronger than the likes of Haoyue Gate and True Thunder Sect, and there are a few more Xuan King powerhouses, isn't this normal. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let me ask you, where is the person who killed my Supreme Elder of the Nine Shadows Palace?"

Nie Kongli asked murderously.

"It seems that you already know, but it's a pity, you are a step late, and Li Bad, who killed the Supreme Elder of your Nine Shadows Palace, has already left my Han family last night. ”

Han Leng knew that Nie Kongli was coming for Li Aotian, but he didn't betray Li Aotian, but casually made up a lie.

"Leave, bullshit! The five major families have been sending people to keep an eye on your Han family, so whether Li Bad has left or not, will I not know!"

Nie Kong's face was full of disbelief.

"Believe it or not, anyway, when I said that he left my Han family, he left my Han family. ”

"You don't want to think about it, people are powerful people of the Xuanwang Palace, even your Nine Shadows Hall Elder can kill the existence, if he leaves quietly, can those people sent by the five major families find out. ”

Han Leng said with a sneer.

"Did he really leave?"

Seeing that what Han Leng said was so reasonable, Nie Wuying's face changed slightly, and he still didn't believe it.

Han Leng sneered when he heard this: "People are not stupid, the people who killed you in the Nine Shadows Palace, could it be that they will stay here and wait for you to seek revenge?"

"Hmph, that guy can even kill my Supreme Elder of the Nine Shadows Palace, is he still afraid that we will seek revenge!" Nie Kong Split snorted coldly.

"Since you know that people are not afraid, then you still dare to come to the door, it seems that you Nie Kongli thinks that you are even more powerful than your Nine Shadows Hall Elder Taishang. ”

"I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, your Supreme Elder Ma Su of the Nine Secluded Palace, that is a real Xuanwang five-fold cultivation, and you... It seems that it has only broken through to the Xuanwang Yizhong not long ago. ”

Han said with a cold smile.

"You don't have to worry about this, since you said that Li Bad has left, then your Han family has to be responsible for this matter!"

Nie Kongli changed the topic.

"My Han family is in charge, Nie Kongli, don't deceive people too much, the people of the five major families were present yesterday, then Li Bad came to my Han Mansion uninvited, and it has nothing to do with my Han family, he killed the people of your Nine Shadows Palace, why should my Han family be responsible!"

Han Leng said in a hurry.

"That's not what I said, first of all, Elder Ma Su died in your Han family after the people of the five major families left, who knows if Li Gang has reached any agreement with your Han family. ”

"Secondly, you, Han Leng, as the city lord of Taiyin City, saw that Li Bad killing people in the city, especially in your Han Mansion, but you stood by and ignored him, do you think you can get rid of it?"

"According to the city rules of Taiyin City jointly formulated by the seven major families, the fighting law is prohibited in Taiyin City, and it is not allowed to kill people, but if anyone dares to violate the city rules, the City Lord's Mansion will spare no effort to kill them, but what is the result?"

Obviously, he had already thought of the wording before coming, and Nie Kongbi questioned Han Leng one by one.

"Shameless!"

As soon as Nie Kong's words fell, the elder of the Han family couldn't help but scold.

This is a middle-aged man in white who looks to be in his thirties, he has the cultivation of Yuan Dan Sixfold, and his status in the Han family is obviously not low.

"You dare to insult the master of this hall, I think you are looking for death!"

His eyes glared at the middle-aged man in white coldly, Nie Kongli raised his hand and flicked his fingers, and a black lightning bolt suddenly flew out from his fingertips, shooting towards the eyebrows of the man in white at a speed that was difficult to reach with the naked eye......
