Chapter XVII
None of the other families spoke, and there was such a bird as they wanted to see. It couldn't be better to test Ang Lee's attitude in this way.
How could the rest of the family's minds not know that they dare to directly harden steel, and naturally have this confidence. The Xiao family is considered a top-notch force in Flying Fish City, but there is an ancestor of the Fifth Realm in the family, even in the face of the city lord, they also have a certain right to speak.
"Release? What if I don't let it go? Li An's voice was cold, and he said again. Three days later, your ancestor will have a catastrophe, and if you ask me at that time, I hope you will also have this attitude. “
When Li An's words fell, the Dark Incense Pavilion suddenly trembled, and a pillar of light fell from the sky above Flying Fish City, instantly enveloping the entire Dark Incense Pavilion.
"Huh? Do you notice anything? Bai Hongsheng frowned.
At the same time, several high-level family masters or guest kings all looked around suspiciously, and for some reason they had a strange feeling, as if they were in the middle of a desert, and there was a rolling heat wave coming to their faces.
"It's hot, what's the situation?" Someone muttered quietly.
The sudden heat wave did cause a commotion, but several high-ranking figures of the family did not care about it. The heat wave is just a small amount of Qi that needs to be released to offset it.
"If you insist on this, then don't blame me for being polite." The deacon's voice that had spoken before was cold, and the breath of the Sanhua Realm burst out.
The next moment, he stepped out, the wooden planks on the ground cracked, and a strong aura rushed straight to Li An.
Li An chuckled, and the hand behind his back silently pinched the trick. When the deacon stepped into the room, his body suddenly shuddered, and his whole body became distorted, like a figure in a mirror.
"What's going on?"
Everyone outside the door stared, and the deacon of the Xiao family disappeared, disappearing right under their noses.
"Illusion?" Someone was suspicious.
"It should be, otherwise there is no way to hide it from all of us." A housemaster whispered.
The disappearance of the Xiao family deacon is indeed an illusion as they say. The formation way, especially the formation that communicates the terrain, cannot escape the shackles of the range after all. Unless there is a special method, you can construct a teleportation array or the like.
And Li An of the Dark Incense Pavilion is arranging a spirit attraction array, and the Flying Fish City is full of power. If the qi luck is condensed, it can produce extreme heat. The conditions for this kind of formation arrangement are extremely harsh, if it weren't for the special nature of Flying Fish City, I am afraid that the raw ash would not be used once.
Luck is mysterious, mysterious, ever-changing. At this time, it incarnates into an invisible fire, which can burn the body. The deacon of the Xiao family was in the illusion and trapped dragon array, and he was in the endless desert at this time.
The sudden change startled him, but he quickly reacted. This illusion is not dangerous to him, now he just needs to find a way to break the formation.
Time flies, but there is no rotation of the sun or moon in the desert. The deacon of the Xiao family was already soaked with sweat, and under the rolling heat, he was horrified to find that his Qi was actually passing. Originally, he had fallen to the early stage of the Sanhua Realm, and he was about to return to the Yin and Yang Realm if he didn't break the formation.
In the room, Li An leisurely tasted wine, and everyone did not move, quietly waiting for the Xiao family deacon to break the illusion. But this wait is half an hour, there is no movement in the room at all, and these second ancestors are so anxious, and a few people have already wailed the word help.
"My time is limited, can you talk now?" Li An said lightly.
"Guys, I'll go first." Bai Hongsheng bowed his hand to several family heads and said that he would be the first to step into the room.
Bai Hongsheng entered the room and was not taken into the illusion, Li An pushed with one hand, and a chair slid in front of Bai Hongsheng.
Li An crossed Bai Hongsheng and said lightly to the people outside the room, "Is it only the head of the Bai family?" “
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, Luo Zifeng sighed and walked over everyone and walked inside, followed by the Cheng family, the Lu family, and the Hong family.
For a while, the five major families in the room compromised, and no one expected that a farce would evolve like this. Li An can easily control the Sanhua Realm with one hand, although there are still unborn ancestors in each family, but they are still unwilling to expose their hole cards until they have to.
What's more, there is an inexplicable relationship with the city lord, and if they can talk about it, they don't want to make too much trouble.
"It's impossible for the Tan family master and the Xiao family master to talk?" Li An squinted his eyes and smiled.
The head of the Xiao family didn't speak from beginning to end, but pretended to be fine, looking left and right. The head of the Tan family was silent when he heard this, and the Tan family was the most unfathomable among the many forces. In recent years, there have been no rumors that his family has made a big fuss about something, but an incident many years ago was like a knife across the necks of all forces.
Fifteen years ago, Flying Fish City was still dominated by the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and the most powerful ones at that time were Shenglongmen, Sanshouguan, Gongshui Nanshan and Tan Family.
The Tan family, as the only family member, was naturally suppressed by the three parties. And Shenglongmen accidentally killed several descendants of the Tan family in a dispute, and later released cruel words to officially declare war with the Tan family.
However, just when the forces of all parties were about to watch the show, a shocking news came the next day. The Shenglong Gate was destroyed, and no one at the top of the sect survived. Even the Supreme Elder in the Gate, a master of the Fifth Realm, was killed, and their head was placed at the door of Tan's house.
After this incident, there was an uproar, and no one expected that the Tan family would have such energy. For a while, the Tan family was powerful under public opinion, but for some reason they chose to keep a low profile at that time.
After the destruction of the Shenglong Gate, many benefits were divided, and it also created a number of families in the future. But all the rising stars understand a truth, they are just fat people who eat leftovers, and there is only one real boss in the family, and that is the Tan family.
"Head of the house!"
Suddenly, a servant came up from the fifth staircase, and he whispered in Tan Long's ear, and he didn't know what to say. After half a ring, Tan Long looked at Li Anping and said calmly. "What you want will be sent to Yinshan tomorrow, farewell!" After that, Tan Long turned around and left directly.
This scene puzzled everyone, and they didn't know what the servant had said to him.
"Wait." Li An said suddenly.
Tan Long stopped his steps and looked back, only to see Li An casually pick up a young man and throw it out.
Tan Long waved his hand, and the young man fell in front of him. Neither of them spoke, and Tan Long turned around and left.
"The master of the Xiao family has given you a chance, you don't want it!" Li An smiled, and then the door slammed shut. At the same time, a miserable scream sounded in the room, Xiaocheng frowned, and heard that the voice was made by his second son.
Xiao Changshen screamed on the ground for no reason in the room, and the whole person curled up in a ball and looked very pitiful. Several heads of the family looked pale and frozen, and they could see at a glance that this person had been banned.
"What should we do, master?" An attendant outside the room whispered.
Xiaocheng thought for a moment and then said slowly, "Go and invite the ancestor." “
"The children of the family can't stand this pain, it seems that you still need to pay more attention to cultivating the younger generations in the future." Ang Lee pouted.
Several heads of the family looked strange when they heard this, and they all looked at their descendants in unison. It is also true that as Ang Lee said, they are now kneeling on the ground and spineless, and it is difficult to imagine that the family will be supported by such a person in a few years.
"Sir, that's what you learned." Everyone laughed and laughed.
"Wei Xuan, come, tell a few uncles how much you have been wronged." Li An squinted his eyes and said.
As soon as these words came out, the five heads of the family knew that they were here to slander people.
Hearing the summons, Wei Xuan walked slowly from behind several people, but he stumbled and almost fell down as soon as he took two steps. Under the gaze of everyone, Wei Xuan walked to Li An's side, and before he could speak, suddenly his face turned red, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
This scene came suddenly, and Ang Lee looked at Wei Xuan in astonishment. This guy was fine just now, but I checked him and didn't get hurt. Suddenly, a strange idea appeared in Ang Lee's mind, Wei Xuan did it on purpose, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to extort a sum of money.
Several family heads frowned, judging from Wei Xuan's state, it was indeed not very good, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.
"My precious apprentice usually feels distressed for a few days when he falls, but I didn't expect to be so seriously injured on their hands. Ladies and gentlemen, the list I have made is for compensation, and it is not difficult for you. Li An said calmly.
"Master, they tortured me for a day, not letting me shout, not letting me drink water. Even, even to destroy me, and said that let our pulse be broken from now on. The grief and indignation that Wei Xuan said faintly had tears in his eyes.
"Master, material compensation is not enough to heal my pain. We can't just cheap them like this, otherwise everyone will think we are easy to bully in the future. Wei Xuan continued.
"Also, these material things are used to replenish the body. The psychological trauma inflicted on my apprentices is not something that can be repaired by money. "Ang Lee is serious.
"We didn't, we didn't know about it. It was Luo Chong, Luo Chong called us. “
Hearing Wei Xuan's blood spew, several Second Ancestors instantly panicked, they themselves did not participate, they were just shields pulled by Luo Chong. It was definitely not a big deal to investigate it afterwards, but what Wei Xuan said was true, and neither the clan nor Daochang Li would let them go easily.
"He spewed blood, we only found out about it when we came to the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, Dad, we can't believe his words." The young master of the Cheng family said excitedly.
Hearing this, the head of the Cheng family and the others all looked at Wei Xuan, and then moved their eyes to Luo Chong, who was unconscious.
"Mr. Li, this matter ......" As soon as Bai Hongsheng spoke, Li An waved his hand.
"I believe in the words of the disciples, and I feel even more sorry for the injuries suffered by the disciples. It's just that I didn't expect the children of the so-called wealthy families to dare to do it. It's all pushed on the body of a faint man, and it's really a good intention. “
As soon as these words came out, it was a mouthpiece of silence for everyone, no matter what the second ancestors said, it would be useless, after all, facts speak louder than words, and the dominant power is not in their hands.
"Mr. Li, we are deeply remorseful for what happened to the disciples. But the conditions you have offered do make it difficult for me, and taking out so many supplies in the middle of the storm is undoubtedly driving us to a dead end. The head of the Cheng family sighed.
"Deadlock? If my apprentice dies, or today I am overshadowed by these boys. Who will administer justice to me? Guys, do you really think I'm talking to you? Li An's voice suddenly said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned, and they always had a negotiating attitude. It's best if you don't fall out, and it doesn't hurt to lose some of your possessions. But Ang Lee's list has hurt the fundamentals, especially the Luo family, which is already hard, if you follow the list, I am afraid that the family will go bankrupt.
"Daochang Li, juniors should bear the due price if they don't consider the consequences of doing things. But the cost is too great for us to afford. The head of the Cheng family continued.
"Daochang Li, we are here sincerely, just as if it is a business, there is no room for negotiation." Bai Hongsheng answered.
Li An squinted at a few people, and he really didn't prepare all the items on the list. According to his plan, these people should have started fighting directly after they came, but now they actually sat down to negotiate. This shows that they are taking care of something, and they can also use this to stick to the bottom line.
"You're not wrong to say that, but that's my low price." Li An said that he would no longer pay attention to everyone, and looked at Wei Xuan with a look of heartache on his face.
"Daochang Li, what you said is forgive and obey fate, we came with an attitude of respecting you, but I didn't expect you to force us to a dead end. Perhaps you are ready to face the pressure of the Seven Great Families. The Lu family said.
As soon as these words came out, the family was silent, and it seemed to acquiesce to his statement. Li An heard the implication that this was a failure of the negotiation and the net would be broken. He didn't care about the attitude of the family, he had planned to meet the so-called family, but this negotiation became an episode.
"It's a good Seven Great Family, the Seven Great Families are the Seven Great Families of the Tan Family, after you cannibalize the Ascending Dragon Sect, with your current strength, I am afraid that it is not as good as the previous Ascending Dragon Sect." Li An said this, and continued.
"You are not my opponents, go and invite the ancestor behind you."
"This ......"
Luo Zifeng and Bai Hongsheng hesitated, such a situation was the last thing they wanted to see. Even if you invite the ancestor to come out of the mountain and overpower Ang Li in terms of momentum, you can't kill you. After all, there is a city lord who is secretly watching, and it is better to offend the city lord than to obey Li An.
But if the killer offends Ang Lee because of this, I am afraid that my family will not have a good life in the future. After all, Li An has a personal relationship with the city lord, and they usually wear small shoes, and they will also be suppressed for no reason.
"Mr. Li, I have something I don't understand. Was this your idea, or whose idea? Luo Zifeng suddenly spoke.
The outcome of this question can directly affect the choice of the five great families, but everyone knows that such a question will not get a real answer.
Li An was stunned, he didn't understand what Luo Zifeng said. But after thinking about it, I guessed that there was a deviation in the direction of things. It seems to have been caused by the presence of some awesome person. These people may have misunderstood something that led to the current result.
"It's not!"
Ang Lee squinted his eyes and smiled evilly, the meaning of this expression made people reverie endlessly.
A few people seem to understand, but they don't seem to understand. But through Ang Lee's two-word answer, as well as this confusing expression, one thing can be certain.
Li Daochang must have some kind of relationship with the city lord......
Just when everyone was not sure what to choose, a heat wave suddenly appeared in the room. Under the heat wave, everyone's Qi unconsciously emerged, and then some Qi disappeared inexplicably.
"What, what's going on! I'm missing some of my Qi. Bai Hongsheng said in horror.
The others were no better, and this was the first time they had encountered such a situation. For so many years of cultivation, the Qi body has been stored in the body, as inseparable as blood.
But under the heat wave, some of them disappeared for no reason, although it was small but enough to attract their attention.
"Bang!"
A figure suddenly appeared in the room, and everyone looked at it, only to see the deacon of the Xiao family fall to the ground. At this time, his eyes were hollow, and his whole person seemed to have fallen into the water, and his clothes could squeeze out the water.
"Illusion broken?" The head of the Cheng family was shocked, and his eyes obviously flashed with joy. If Ang Lee's self-conceived means are broken, he will not be afraid of his own strength, and it will not be as rumored to be. You can also be stronger, as long as you don't really fall out. It's a big deal to go to the city lord's mansion afterwards to make amends.
"No, I can't feel the qi in his body. It looks like, it looks! Bai Hongsheng was shocked and couldn't say the next words.
"Mortal!" Luo Zifeng said in a deep voice.
The five people were silent, and the human body itself was like a mouth that was eating all the time. And Qi will also increase and increase with continuous intake. Even if the overload of Qi Qi leads to a deficit, then it will not be absent at all? After all, the human body is still making supplements, and more or less you will notice that Qi is starting from nothing.
But the deacon of the Xiao family does not have any Qi in his body, and he is no different from a mortal.
"What a means! Directly abolished a Sanhua Realm powerhouse! "The five of them were shocked, such a method was unheard of, not to mention that this was a formation. It can be used on multiple people at the same time, and five people become vigilant at once.
"Don't be afraid, we're not negotiating!" Li An squinted his eyes and smiled.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Li An continued. "I just wanted to try if this formation would have an effect on the seniors of the fourth or even fifth realm. If there is a little effect, let him fall into the realm, it will be worth the trip. “
Ang Lee's words were full of threat, and the majesty of the formation was obvious to all. The Three Flower Realm may really have no power to resist, and the ancestors of the fourth or fifth realm should be able to break it when they come. But because of this, the ancestor realm fell, and it can be said that the gains outweighed the losses.
The existence of the ancestor is used for deterrence, so it will not be easy to attack. If something else happened to the ancestor, the family would fall apart in an instant.
"Mr. Li, we really can't get these supplies. Hurt the root of it, me! I can only lose the car to protect the handsome. Bai Hongsheng closed his eyes and made a heavy decision.
