Bai Xiaojun thought for a while, and then said, "It may also be because the Mingyue family is not capable of arguing with the lord of Xiyue City." ”

"It's a possibility. But in my opinion, this probability is not high. Because the Mingyue family and the city lord of Xiyue have a mutually restrictive relationship with each other. The City Lord of Xiyue needs the Mingyue family to reap the benefits for him. The Mingyue family also needs the Xiyue City Lord to give the family the status and rights it deserves. Supply and demand can only be satisfied when they meet each other. Therefore, from the perspective of the Mingyue family, if the Xiyue City Lord is unwilling to let the Mingyue family get these places, then it undoubtedly means that he may turn against the Mingyue family. And in this case, what benefits can it be for the Xiyue City Lord? ”

"Nothing good! Unless, the Xiyue City Lord will re-cultivate and support a new family now. But it will take time. During this period of support, it was enough for the rest of the families to develop and compete for power. At the same time, the Mingyue family and the Xiyue City Lord have cooperated with each other for so many years, and they have more or less some of each other's handles. If the people of the Mingyue family really don't care about anything and tell all these tricks, what do you think the result will be? Wang Lin looked at Bai Xiaojun.

Bai Xiaojun was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Wang Lin meant: "So, what you mean is that even if the Xiyue City Lord really wants to give up the Mingyue family, he won't dare." Because the Mingyue family has his handle, it is very likely that he will lose his current position? ”

"Yes, if we want to work together for a long time, it's not just because we share each other's interests properly. At the same time, it is also because they have each other's handles, so that in the whole process of development, the two sides will test each other and cooperate with each other, and they will not completely lose control. That's the best way to work together. Wang Lin said.

"Therefore, the Mingyue family was deprived of so many places for the Enlightenment Monument this time, but the Mingyue family itself did not make some dissatisfied voices. The only possible reason is that behind the scenes, the Xiyue City Lord has given the other party greater benefits. So much so that this benefit can make the Mingyue family give up the Enlightenment Monument this time. But what exactly is the benefit? ”

Wang Lin's words suddenly made Bai Xiaojun fall into deep thought.

Obviously, Wang Lin saw many of these strange problems at a glance.

"In addition, Xiaojun, have you noticed that in the past few days, Shangguan Ling has become very infrequent when he comes to us. It stands to reason that since the Shangguan family wants us to cooperate with their family in the Enlightenment Monument, shouldn't the last few days be the time when we exchange information with each other most frequently? But except for the time when we sent the invitation, Shangguan Ling, or the head of the Shangguan family, they didn't look for us. ”

"Not only that, it seems that their sense of urgency for the battle for the Enlightenment Monument is not so serious?"

Bai Xiaojun thought about it, and then said: "Could it be because the Shangguan family knows that the Mingyue family can't participate in the Enlightenment Monument, so they ......?"

"No, there is no direct causal relationship between the Mingyue family's inability to participate in the Enlightenment Monument and whether the Shangguan family has a higher probability of getting the quota to enter the five universities. So in this matter, the Shangguan family's handling is also very strange. In my opinion, there should be some plan behind the Shangguan family. ”

Wang Lin said in a deep voice: "In the whole process of the party, don't get separated from me, just stay by my side, I'm worried, tonight's drinking party may not be easy." ”

Bai Xiaojun nodded.

Soon, everyone came to the huge reception hall. In front of me, the long table was already full of all kinds of delicacies. And the people who were invited to participate in the Enlightenment Monument also entered the hall one after another. Wang Lin took a cursory look, and most of them were from other counties. But in this way, the number has become extremely strange.

Because, as the organizer, Xiyue County City itself has preferential treatment in the quota of the Enlightenment Monument. That's why cities in various places are competing to hold events at any cost. Once you can apply, then most of the places will be close to that city.

As the Enlightenment Monument has been held twice in a row, Xiyue County has received more benefits. Because of this, the number of places they have should be very large. It is so large that according to the current proportion of people who come to the City Lord's Mansion to attend the dinner, it should be about the same as the number of outsiders. But it is true that there are more outsiders now.

Thinking of this, Wang Lin fell into deep thought, and stood on the edge of the wall with Bai Xiaojun. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Wang Lin looked outside, but saw that under the dim night sky, in the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion, there seemed to be some figure moving.

Wang Lin raised his eyebrows, and immediately pretended not to see anything.

At this time, the rumored Xiyue City Lord finally appeared. Judging from the appearance, the City Lord of Xiyue is a man in his thirties, and he is indeed very young. However, Wang Lin, who knew countless people, saw a hint of evil in the other party's eyes.

"Wang Lin." The Immortal Heavenly Demon suddenly informed Wang Lin through the method of sound transmission: "This person on the stage called the City Lord of Xiyue is wrong. ”

Wang Lin raised his eyebrows: "You can also see it?" ”

The Immortal Heavenly Demon snorted coldly: "Of course I can see it." It should be said that this person is also too eccentric. On his body, there is an aura that does not belong to the human race or the demon race, but this breath is very cold. Vaguely, I seem to have an impression of this race, but I can't remember it specifically. ”

"Well, let's wait and see what happens." Wang Lin slowly said to Bai Xiaojun: "Be careful, it's weird." ”

Bai Xiaojun's expression was grim, his two hands were inserted into each other's sleeves, and he had quietly held the Tubao Jade Toad.

At this time, the city lord of Xiyue was speaking on the stage, and the things he said were nothing more than some clichés and high-sounding words. However, looking at the demeanor of the Xiyue City Lord, Wang Lin also had to admire. At least the other party's eloquence is really good. If before coming here, many outsiders who came to Xiyue County still had a lot of complaints about this Xiyue City Lord, after all, this kind of atmosphere in Xiyue County City was obviously promoted by this city lord. But now, many people's eyes have changed from indifference to a hint of appreciation.

Immediately, the Xiyue City Lord said again: "As for the people who came here today, I am very happy. So, I have a gift for you too. ”

The voice of the Xiyue City Lord fell, and in the huge room, the windows and doors were closed one after another! Immediately, the formation ban was all activated! Everyone's faces changed, as if they didn't expect the Xiyue City Lord to do this?

And at this time, Wang Lin also discovered that in the huge hall, whether it was the Shangguan family or the Mingyue family, there was no one there! Thinking of the sneaky figure he saw outside the window just now, Wang Lin pulled Bai Xiaojun and said, "Come with me, let's find a corner that is relatively easy to cover first." ”

At the same time, the city lord of Xiyue continued: "Actually, in the past few days, a lot of things have happened in Xiyue County. But I didn't care. You know why? Because it's not necessary at all! Including the quota of the Enlightenment Monument, since you think that it is unfair for me to hold those quotas in my hands, then I will give them to you, what is this? ”

"But don't you want to participate in the Enlightenment Monument."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

"City Lord, what do you mean by that!" One of them immediately asked.

"What do you mean?" The City Lord of Xiyue suddenly laughed: "It means that you will die here!" ”

When the words fell, the body of the Xiyue City Lord actually began to twist! His body began to swell, and two huge balls of flesh appeared on his back! Immediately, after the meat ball broke, with the splash of blood, a pair of meat wings directly unfolded! Immediately afterwards, the face of the Xiyue City Lord also began to become hideous, like a Shura demon!

"Roar!"

Under the roar of a beast, the Xiyue City Lord turned into an incomparably terrifying monster! And this scene also made everyone's faces change.

"This, what's going on, Wang Lin!" Bai Xiaojun's eyes showed a hint of horror.

"This is the Hundred Nights Demon Clan!" Wang Lin said in a condensed voice: "Sure enough, although the Purple Divine Yang has just been born, the Hundred Nights Demon Clan has already appeared!" ”

The Immortal Heavenly Demon also said, "Wang Lin, run away, in this case, we shouldn't have much chance of winning!" This is the blood bat clan of the Hundred Nights Demon Clan, and what this kind of race is best at is parasitism. Although there are not many intelligent people in their group, they are very good at stealing beams and changing pillars! I'm afraid that the reason why the Shangguan family and the Mingyue family all have that weird appearance and way of speaking should be because they were parasitized by the blood bat clan! ”

Wang Lin sighed: "I want to escape, but in this situation, I'm afraid we can't escape." ”

As soon as Wang Lin's words fell, he saw that the whole room was distorted. As soon as the master of Xiyue City raised his hand, a disciple who was closer was directly absorbed. The Xiyue City Lord bared his fangs like fierce beasts, grabbed the other party and bit directly at the other party's neck. In an instant, in the midst of the terrible screams, I saw the man convulsing all over, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The crowd was furious, and they took out their weapons and were about to start their hands.

"Smack!"

In the sound of glass shattering, people like the City Lord of Xiyue walked in! These people are still wearing the clothes of the Mingyue family, and they are obviously from the Mingyue family!

"Kill!"

For a while, these monsters pounced on everyone. There were also blood bats that pounced on Wang Lin and Bai Xiaojun.

"Xiaojun, don't have any scruples, kill!"

In an instant, the jade fan in Wang Lin's hand was raised, and it turned into the Nine Songs Evil Venerable and held it tightly in his hand! At the same time, Bai Xiaojun also condensed the hundred flowers in Fang Yuan and waited for it!
