Chapter 137, the Zhang family of Tianling Island
It's been a day since the big war.
The news of the battle of Wind Spirit City was also like a bombshell dropped on a calm lake, instantly detonating a radius of Wind Spirit City for a hundred miles, and spreading in Tianling Island at a speed like supersonic speed.
Now, thousands of miles away.
In a basin surrounded by mountains, a large city that can accommodate 30 million people is located here.
The gates of the city are opened between the two valleys.
It has the effect of being a husband and a wife, and it is impossible to open it.
This is the first city of Tianling Island.
Heavenly Spirit City.
Because Huode deliberately confessed, a special person was responsible for reporting the letter, and the speed was more than ten times faster, so the Zhang family also received the letter early the next morning after the incident.
The moment the letter was received, the entire Zhang family fell into silence.
And then, as you can imagine.
At this moment, the Zhang family has already exploded.
In the ancestral hall, there seemed to be a layer of low air pressure, and everyone was out of breath, although it was all people from the Zhang Patriarchal Association, but no one dared to speak.
They were all staring at the old man with a white beard whose eyes were red and panting like a cow.
This old man is the Zhang family, named Zhang Baiyuan.
A powerhouse at the pinnacle of the nine-star life and death realm.
One of the four masters of Tianling Island.
He is also the grandfather of Zhang Jincheng and Zhang Jiachuan.
Zhang Baiyuan's favorite has always been the Zhang Jiachuan brothers, who have shown since childhood that they far surpass their family peers' cultivation talent.
And Zhang Jiachuan also regarded them as the hope of the family's rise, and spent a lot of time and energy to cultivate them.
When they break through to the realm of life and death, they will let go completely.
Let them go out and about.
Therefore, they have been away from home for many years and have always kept in touch, but they are not in a hurry to recall them, just to make them strong quickly under the high pressure of the outside world.
In the future, he will take over and lead the Zhang family to become the first family and the first force on Tianling Island.
However, today, he received the news again, but it was a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.
It's still a tragic end with no bones left.
Bodies can't be left to their roots.
How do you ask him to accept it?
"It's been a few hours, have you found out? Who the hell is that old thing? ”
In the lobby, Zhang Baiyuan was furious, shouting with angry eyes.
In the lobby, there was silence.
No one was able to give him an answer.
"Speak! Isn't it all quite talkative? Now they're all deaf and dumb, can't they speak? ”
Zhang Baiyuan scolded, he was angry.
"I can't blame us either, the two cities are too far apart, if it weren't for the city lord Huo De of Wind Spirit City who specially sent someone to inform us, I'm afraid that until now, we would still be in the dark."
After a while, an old man finally whispered, the voice was small and inaudible.
"Too far? Can't complain about you? Hehe, are you embarrassed to say? ”
Zhang Baiyuan laughed angrily, and continued to scold angrily: "How many times have I said it, the intelligence network is going to spread all over Tianling Island, what is your attitude?" What did you do? ”
Faced with Zhang Baiyuan's angry scolding.
In the ancestral hall.
Quiet.
Needle drops can be heard.
All the elders were blushing and hot at this moment, as if they had been slapped hard, and they lowered their heads one after another to hide the embarrassment on their faces.
Ten years ago.
Zhang Baiyuan said this.
If you want the family to be strong, the first thing is to establish a huge intelligence network and bring back the news of Tianling Island as soon as possible, so as to pave the way for the development of the family.
However, a group of people in the House of Elders, under the pretext that their influence had not expanded to a certain continent for the time being, said that it was unnecessary and blocked the operation.
The news network of Tianling City.
They have long been established.
Although it is not as large as the other major families, it is relatively complete.
But.
This is completely incompatible, they want to dominate one side.
"The head of the family, we owe it to us to think about this matter."
A fat elder had a look of shame on his face and said, "Right now, this is not the time to pursue this matter. At present, the most important thing for us is to find out what the identity of the murderers of Jiachuan and Jin Cheng is. See if he has a big background, if not, we can directly kill him, if there is, depending on the situation, we can also take the opportunity to blackmail them for a wave. ”
What he said is not unreasonable, and the matter has come to this.
Only the most urgent problems can be solved first, and then the others can be considered.
At the same time, find a way to recover your losses.
also took the opportunity to inform the people of Tianling Island that their Zhang family was not easy to mess with.
"Wait a minute, Third Elder, the word blackmail is not used correctly. Besides, have you forgotten something? ”
Sitting beside him, the old man with a yellow face stroked his beard and reminded.
Truly.
Extortion does not apply.
It should be reasonable to claim compensation.
"Forgot something?"
The third fat elder looked puzzled, thought for a moment, but still didn't remember, and said, "I don't remember, I forgot some details." ”
"Hey, it's been so many years, and I still can't get rid of this problem."
For this reason, the yellow-faced old man shook his head helplessly, and continued: "The messenger, what did you say at that time? Remember. ”
What did the messenger say?
What else can be said?
Let's put it bluntly.
In the Zhang family, he still dared to play dumb riddles.
Hearing this, the doubts on the faces of the three fat elders were even worse, and the details began to be recalled in their minds.
Others also began to reminisce.
"I remember, it's a flame martial art!"
Half-loud, someone finally exclaimed!
After being reminded.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened, and their faces were suddenly colored.
At this moment, they remembered.
They all ignore the issue.
Flame martial arts, what a conspicuous clue.
But no one noticed.
Also ignore it.
Suddenly, the three fat elders' pupils shrank, and he said, "Are you suspicious, that person is from the Divine Fire Sect?" ”
"There is every reason to suspect that it is them, after all, a strong man who can use this level of flame martial arts, and a strong man who can kill the Seven Star Life and Death Realm. On this Heavenly Spirit Island, apart from the three great holy envoys of the Divine Fire Sect, I really can't think of anyone else. ”
"It makes sense, it's just that after so many years, they are still haunted by that incident!"
"What's so strange about that, do they do less of this kind of thing?"
The yellow-faced old man said.
Saying this, the others nodded their heads.
In recent decades, the Divine Fire Sect has done a lot of murder and extermination.
"In this way, we can divide our troops into two ways."
The three fat elders said.
"Okay, I'll leave the matter of Wind Spirit City to you, and you, as the person in charge of the intelligence network, should be responsible."
Hearing this, the anger in Zhang Baiyuan's chest calmed down a little.
"Okay, I'll leave at once, and I'm sure I'm going to bring back the murderer's head."
The three fat elders looked fierce and confident, as if they had seen the situation of returning victoriously.
As he spoke, the three fat elders were ready to get up and leave.
"Wait a minute, although you are in the eight-star life and death realm, however, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, you bring more manpower, you can outwit, if you are not able to fight the enemy, retreat in time, and think about it in the long run."
Zhang Baiyuan stopped the three fat elders and said what he thought, and the three fat elders said hello and left quickly.
After the three fat elders left, Zhang Baiyuan looked at the yellow-faced elder and said, "There seems to be movement on Wuling Island, I'm going to go over and take a look, and I'll leave it to you to deal with it over there." Remember, you must find out the truth. ”
"Okay."
……
Wind Spirit City.
The flames are blazing.
Ten miles in radius, baked at high temperatures, the land dried up and cracked in just one day.
And inside and outside the city of Wind Spirit City, the population is even more sparse.
Even the City Lord's Mansion was empty.
The whole city is like a lifeless and ruined place.
"Miscalculated!"
On the wall of Wind Spirit City, Huo De smashed his fist on the wall, his face full of chagrin, "I knew that today, at that time, I should have taken it earlier, but now, I can't get in at all." ”
In the morning, he was going to go to Mingyue Tower to have a look.
However, after he went, he found that with his current cultivation and methods, he could not withstand such a terrifying high temperature.
If you force your way in, you may have been burned to ashes before you even crossed it.
"I don't know, the master from behind, do you have such a means, forget it, let's get out of here first. He couldn't leave for a while. ”
Just here, you need to use spiritual power to resist the heat, and for a long time, it is very physically demanding.
However, at this time.
Bang! Bang! ……
Outside the Mingyue Tower, which collapsed into ruins.
There is already a deep pit with a depth of tens of meters.
In the middle of a pit.
There is a large machine that is out of step with the times, with an iron arm extended, and is working with a clatter.
Above, there was an old man with an old face.
This person is none other than Murong Feng.
"I've been digging for so long, why haven't I seen it yet?"
Murong Feng opened the door of the cab and said suspiciously.
