Chapter 266: Family Rebellion
As night falls, the quarry town falls silent. [Full text reading]
The inhabitants are settled, and the doors of every house are closed. Torches were lit on the walls, and the defenders were on standby.
A cold wind blew, a drizzle fell in the air, and there was no one on the street. The rain dripping from the eaves falls on the stone pavement, and in the ticking sound, the faint lights and shadows spread, and the bleak meaning spreads, like a ghost market.
Wei Wuji had been guarding the city wall for a day, and only then did he change his guard and was about to return to his temporary station.
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from a distance, and seven or eight people rushed towards Wei Wuji.
"Huh, it's not the Silver Armor Guard, and you're still running on the streets at this time?" Wei Wuji wondered.
At this time, the other party walked up to Wei Wuji, and a person walked up from behind, "Wei Wuji, are you here?" ”
"Wei Lifeng?" Wei Wuji saw the person coming clearly and was secretly on guard.
Wei Lifeng smiled faintly and said to his companions behind him: "You guys go first, and I'll come to meet you after I've solved the matter here." ”
"Are you okay?" would you like to leave the two of you behind and help you?" asked the companion.
"Personal grievances, I won't bother you. Wei Lifeng said with a smile.
The companion nodded, and led the group to rush forward.
"Okay, now there are only the two of us left here, Ming people don't do dark things, my brother Wei Liwen, did he die at your hands?" Wei Lifeng asked.
"If I answer yes, are you going to hand me the sword in disregard of the house rules?" Wei Wuji asked with a smile.
"Family rules, hehe, family rules are worthless now, and the power of Quarry Town is about to be reversed. It's ridiculous that you don't know anything. Wei Lifeng said with disdain on his face.
"I don't understand what you mean. Wei Wuji's face showed surprise.
"You tell me what I want to know, and I'll tell you what's going to happen in town. Wei Lifeng said.
"That's right, your younger brother Wei Liwen gathered people and besieged me in the secret realm of Shigu, but I killed him. Wei Wuji said.
When Wei Lifeng heard this, his face showed pathos, "My younger brother will never learn well, so he knows that he is showing off and showing off everywhere outside, and he has long known that something will happen one day." But ......"
When Wei Lifeng said this, his face showed a cruel color, "But he is no longer right, he is also my own brother! Whoever kills him, I will kill his whole family, Wei Wuji, you draw your sword!"
"Wait, you haven't told me what's going on in Quarrytown. Wei Wuji hurriedly asked.
Wei Lifeng drew his sword in his hand and pointed at Wei Wuji from afar, "Let me tell you, it is a good opportunity for all the family heads in Quarry Town to gather together." After dawn, power in Quarry will be in the hands of someone else, with some families dying and others rising. ”
"You betrayed the family?" Wei Wuji asked.
"No, I won't betray the family! It is estimated that now they have done it, and the general trend is irreversible. Wei Lifeng replied.
"The Warcraft Tide is also false news?" Wei Wuji continued to ask.
"How can there be false news? The fake Warcraft tide can trick all the masters of the town out to defend and resist? ”
Wei Lifeng shook his head and sighed, "It seems that you are really stupid, my brother died at your hands, it is really not worth it." Okay, no more nonsense, look at the sword!"
After speaking, Wei Lifeng attacked Wei Wuji with a sword.
The void air flow is disordered, and the momentum of the opponent's sword is like a river embankment bursting, pouring thousands of miles, unstoppable.
Wei Wuji watched the other party approach, and instantly took out half of the remnant sword, and a sword light rushed away.
The two figures coincided instantly, and immediately separated by staggering, in this lonely drizzly alley, as if the ghost was a combined doppelganger.
Wei Lifeng fell to the ground, he looked at his wound in disbelief, blood was gurgling, the heat was steaming up, but his body instantly became cold.
"How can you do it with one move...... Defeat me?" Wei Lifeng's face was full of unwillingness, he never thought that Wei Wuji would have such strength.
"Originally, I wanted to practice a few more tricks with you, but now is not the time to delay, you should have left two companions to help you, if someone helped you, maybe the person who fell would be me. Wei Wuji put away the remnant sword and said with a smile.
"I ...... I hate ...... so much."
Wei Lifeng felt remorse in his heart, but it was useless to regret, and finally swallowed his last breath and died.
Wei Wuji's divine consciousness swept over, and there were only a few essence stones on the other party's body. He took the essence stone into his pocket and flew away into the distance.
There was no one to be seen on the streets, and there were no patrolling silver guards, and everything changed suddenly.
Wei Wuji has only two choices, the first way, run far away and avoid this accident. However, in the future, he can only die in the world and be a scattered cultivator, and maybe he will even affect the old servant Uncle Wang. The second way is to get involved and help the head of the family, Wei Qingyuan, to tide over this difficulty.
"I guess the heads of the family are not people who sit still and wait to die, they must have a back hand. Wei Wuji thought about it carefully, made a decision in his heart, and ran towards the martial arts platform where the head of the family was.
The martial arts platform is located in the inner city, Wei Wuji ran all the way to the inner city, and found that it was surrounded by people.
"I wonder how many people were involved in this betrayal?
Wei Wuji was surprised in his heart, quietly walked to a secluded place, added a few runes to himself to hide his breath, climbed the city wall, and took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the inner city.
When he came to the martial arts platform, Wei Wuji found that many people surrounded the front. These people were all masters above the Seventh Heaven, Wei Wuji didn't dare to act rashly, and quietly turned to the back, preparing to sneak in.
However, when he approached the martial arts platform, he found that there was a rune barrier, protecting the entire martial arts platform in the middle.
"Fortunately, I have studied the art of runes, and it is not too difficult to break this rune barrier. Wei Wuji hid in the corner and began to crack the rune barrier.
After half a pillar of incense, a gap was broken in the rune barrier, and Wei Wuji drilled into it, resealing the gap and entering the platform.
Passing through a corridor, Wei Wuji crept to the main hall, climbed onto the roof, hid in the shadows of the beams, and looked down.
There were a lot of corpses around, including the guards around the head of the family, and the people on the other side, obviously after a fierce battle.
The heads of the three major families, Wei Qingyuan, Ning Jingtian, and Nangong Xiong, were all inside, sitting on the ground and looking weak. Of the heads of other small families, seven of them sat next to Wei Qingyuan and the others, and the rest of the heads of small families all fell to the ground, obviously having been dead for a long time.
There are three people on the other side, the leader is an old man with the strength of the Nine Heavens, and there are two men standing behind him, both of whom are the strength of the Seven Heavens.
What surprised Wei Wuji the most was that Pharmacist Mu was actually at the scene. He stood in front of the head of the family and confronted the old man.
"Senior brother, I didn't expect to be found by you in incognito. What happened in the first place, did you really hate me so much?" said Pharmacist Mu.
"Of course! Every day when I think of you, I can't eat, I can't sleep well, and I want to break you to pieces!"
The old man's face showed a cruel color, "You are bent on currying favor with Master, and a little thing caused me to be expelled from the sect." Do you think you can get the favor of the master? How can you stay in the sect with your roots, and you haven't been kicked out yet, hehe......"
