Chapter Eighty-Seven: Sudden Attack
Seeing more than ten Yuan Shao coming from afar, Huo Xu was impressively in the ranks, and the crowd suddenly became agitated.
The younger generation of shopkeepers and clerks quietly moved towards a man in a green robe with a short beard.
"Big brother doesn't know where he went, second brother, you should stand up, take the opportunity of Huo Xu's appearance, expose all the dirty deeds of the acting patriarch to betray the interests of the Huo clan in public, and peel off his paint!" Someone whispered.
"Yes, not long ago, the patriarch of the generation was still talking about yin and yang everywhere, and the news that Huo Xu Jin was called a Yuanshi is afraid that it is not true, only a few days later, Huo Xu came to appear and slap his face, look at his black robe of Yuanshi and the four red bars on his chest, the real four-stage Yuanshi, how can it be fake?
Second brother, don't miss the opportunity, it's time for a showdown! The other chimed in.
The man in the short mustache and green robe is Huo Yu, the manager of the Qingxi store under the jurisdiction of Beiyifang, who is the second oldest among the Huo family's peers, and usually only obeys Huo Jue's orders.
Huo Yu's gaze swept back and forth between Huo Jing and Huo Xu, entangled for a long time, and sighed: "The eldest brother is not present, and the acting patriarch is a nine-section yuanshi, and there are four fang owners to help, as juniors, we have no strength or no strength, and no one wants to be looked forward to, even if we have ironclad evidence, what can we do?"
The eldest brother led us to investigate secretly for two years, and finally figured out the inside story of the loss of the clothing shop.
Let's wait and see, don't act rashly. Alas, I don't know if the big brother can show up today! ”
A young clerk hurriedly said, "Isn't there still Huoxu?" ”
His eyes suddenly brightened, and then gradually dimmed, Huo Yu shook his head and said: "It's a pity that he is only a fourth-stage Yuanshi, and he is too young to fight the patriarch of the generation!" ”
Huo Jing's reaction was far more exciting than this.
"Huoxu!"
This exclamation dragged a deep tail note, as if it came directly from Huo Jing's heart.
Huo Jing's heart had fallen into the ice cellar, and he had a premonition that after "running naked" in front of the Wu clan leaders and the powerhouses of the various sects in the capital on the day of the autumn test, today, he was very likely to be stripped naked in front of more than 20,000 people in the whole clan.
Huo Jing didn't want to sit still, so he preemptively shouted: "Huo Xu, on the day of the autumn test, you openly refused to accept the tribal precedent to go to the Luoxia Mountain Range for training, and you have already cut yourself off from the Huo clan and abandoned yourself from the sect, and today you dare to trespass on the scene of the clan conference, so bold!" ”
Ignoring the bluffing Huo Jing, Huo Xu's gait was calm, he deliberately straightened his chest and turned around frequently, trying his best to let the people in the audience see the Yuanshi black robe and the four red bars on the chest of the robe.
However, Huo Xu did not take the lead, but followed behind Huo Fu.
When his gaze touched Huo Jing's old face full of fear, he just smiled faintly.
Holding a lot of Huo Jing's secrets, he has his own way to wipe out the influence of the Acting Patriarch in an instant, and he can peel off his painting skin without much effort!
Huo Fu led Huo Xu and all the young students of the Huo Clan straight to the front of the stage, ignoring the five people on the stage, turned around and saluted the five elders in the front row, and then turned to the other clansmen to salute.
received a grand courtesy that had not been seen for a long time, and when Huo Xu appeared, the faces of the five elders were shocked.
"Evil beast, you have always been disrespectful, ignoring the clan rules, and getting used to it, if you don't clean you up today, the Fire Clan will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!"
The sound of shouting suddenly sounded, and under the stunned gaze of more than 20,000 people, Huo Jing's face was gloomy, and he flew up, and he didn't know when there was an extra Xi and a sword in his hand.
The streamer's flying blade followed the indifferent gaze of Huo Jing and the four owners, and swept towards Huo Xu.
Looking faintly at Huo Jing's dark and terrifying eyes, Huo Xu remained motionless.
"Wow!"
A strong air flow blew, Xi He Sword took off his hand, and the volley of Huo Jing's body fell diagonally, landing on the Yuanjing platform, staggering a few steps, and falling to the ground in embarrassment.
A ball of light quickly swept over the Meteorite Square, and the dazzling purple light caused another commotion among the dark crowd.
The light fell, and a purple-robed man stepped out of the purple light shattered shadow, stood beside Huo Xu with his head high, his eyes slowly swept over the five people on the stage, and said coldly:
"I'm the guard of the Fire Prince, who dares to be rough with him, die!"
The man was dressed in a Yuan Lie robe, and there were two four-pointed stars on the chest of the robe.
"Two-star Yuan Lie, so strong!" The crowd blurted out, and in an instant, the buzzing of the crowd rang out.
Ten years ago, the two-star Yuan Lie was not a fart in the eyes of the Fire Clan, but now it is not what it used to be, ten years, don't say Yuan Lie, even if tens of thousands of people in the Fire Clan want to see a Yuan Master, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
The Heavenly Sage powerhouses of the Tie Clan, the Mu Clan, and the Shui Clan have never set foot on the island in the middle of the lake for ten years, and during this period, the people who often come to the Fire Clan are all those who are not in the stream of the Tie Clan.
After many years, people finally saw a Heavenly Saint powerhouse, as if they had seen a heavenly god.
Obediently, this is a two-star Yuan Lie, he is at the same level as Tielong and Mu Hua, but he is far younger than the two, and his future achievements are naturally comparable to those of Tielong and Mu Hua.
And such a strong young Yuan Lie is just one of Huo Xu's "guards"!
Under the pressure of the purple-robed man's deliberate catharsis, Huo Jing, who fell to the ground, had his liver and gallbladder split, forgetting to get up, his pupils and heart were contracting simultaneously.
The four invincible owners could still sit still, and they all left their seats in panic and hurriedly stepped down, intending to slip away while the chaos was in place.
"Wait, the clan assembly is not over yet, you owners must not leave!" Huo Fu's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the four people in the audience looking panicked, he said coldly, and immediately waved his hand to signal Yuan Shao next to him to step forward and stay.
Eleven Yuan Shao rushed up and trapped the four panicked owners on the side of the stage.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Huo Jing got up and said, "Huo Fu, do you also want to commit a crime and rebel!" ”
Without even glancing at Huo Jing, Huo Fu said coldly: "Is it a rebellion, let's talk about it after the clan meeting." ”
Approaching the purple-robed man beside him, Huo Xu said in a low voice: "Mr. Fengqiu, this is the Huo family's family matter, and I ask Your Excellency to avoid it." ”
After glaring at Huo Jing fiercely for a moment, the purple-robed man saluted at Huo Xu in a loud voice: "Yes, if Huo Gongzi has orders, he will obey his orders!" After finishing speaking, he stood still far away after flying to the crowd, but did not leave the scene.
Seeing that the purple-robed man was obedient to Huo Xu, people finally believed that this two-star Yuan Lie was really Huo Xu's guard.
The eyes of the five elders and Huo Yu and the others lit up with hope.
Slowly scanning the crowd, Huo Xu looked back suddenly, and said coldly to Huo Jing: "More than a month ago, Brother Huo Jue entered the mountain for retreat, did he take leave from the acting patriarch before leaving?" ”
Huo Jing was caught off guard and subconsciously denied: "No······ No, Huo Jue never mentioned the retreat. ”
Without giving the other party a moment to think, Huo Xu quickly asked: "The day before the autumn test of the Yuan Shaoyuan, Brother Huo Jue went out of the customs, and when he left the customs, he was already a one-star Yuan Master, but he was killed in Yushan.
On the day of the autumn test, could it be that the Acting Patriarch did not learn of the death of Brother Huo Jue from the Acting Alliance Master and Counselor Rose? If that's the case, the Fire Clan might as well invite Counselor Rose to confront him face to face! ”
Huo Jue is dead?!
The audience was silent for a while, and finally, Huo Jue's family broke the silence and cried bitterly, and then, the store manager and clerk of Beiyifang wiped their tears, and in a blink of an eye, the mournful cries on the field were everywhere.
Huo Jue, the most promising among the younger generation of the Huo Clan, who was promoted to the position of the owner of the Beiyi Fang by the clansmen two years ago, was actually killed!
People hadn't yet thought about how Huo Jue's death had anything to do with Huo Jing, but they were all puzzled as to why the Acting Patriarch had to hide this shocking news from his people.
Everyone couldn't understand that since Tie Ying and Tie Xiao, who used to come to the Huo Clan to walk around, appeared at the scene of Huo Jue's murder, it means that both of them are suspected of murdering Huo Jue, and they are both stained with blood feuds, why did the acting patriarch still sell the clothing shop industry to the Tie Clan.
In the crowd of black pressure, more than 20,000 pairs of eyes focused on Huo Jing's face in unison, and collectively asked silently.
Huo Jing's face was like ashes, and he felt that the perfect painting skin woven by lies was bursting, but he couldn't make a sound.
It happened suddenly, and it was an impossible task to concoct a clever excuse enough to fool more than 20,000 people in such a short period of time.
The five elders couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, and the eldest Huo Xi said in a loud voice: "Huo Xu, where are Huo Jue's remains?" ”
Seeing the elder asking, Huo Xu hurriedly saluted: "On the day of the autumn test, Counselor Rose personally informed the acting patriarch of the death of Brother Huo Jue, but the acting patriarch did not pay attention, and later, at the request of the juniors, Du Zhengji buried the body of the eldest brother. ”
Huo Xi paused sadly and said: "Huo Jue is the top figure in the new generation of the clan, since he is dead, he should hold a decent funeral and bury him in the family tomb!" ”
Huo Jing's brain was in chaos, and the worst thing was that Huo Xu spoke again, not giving him time to breathe at all:
"No matter how the Fire Clan declined, it didn't reach the point where the whole clan had to live for the Iron Clan's helpers. Ten years ago, the patriarch had left a large number of silver coins, medicinal materials, and source crystals in the secret treasury of Moshan, and these properties were all accounted for, and after being realized, they were enough for tens of thousands of people in the whole clan to eat for decades.
Patriarch, where is the massive wealth of the Moshan Secret Treasury now! ”
Huo Xu asked questions twice, both times simply and directly, pointing directly at Huo Jing's death hole, and the latter was completely stunned.
Huo Xi saved the title of "Acting Patriarch" and called Huo Jing's name: "Huo Jing, say quickly, is the wealth of the Moshan Secret Treasury still there!"
Hmph, you can't hide it, hand over the key to the secret vault, and let the clansmen enter the warehouse on behalf of the inventory and investigate thoroughly! ”
In a place where he is accustomed to calling for wind and rain, Huo Jing never thought that one day he would lose so badly, and after just two rounds, he was simply defeated by Huo Xu, who should not have appeared and suddenly attacked.
"That fortune······ I can't hold it, the royal family dignitaries······ What can I do with tremendous pressure? I am a nine-stage Yuanshi, ten years of promotion to no avail, but I have faced the great pressure alone again and again, trying my best to shelter the Fire Clan, what else? What else could I do? ”
Weakly arguing, Huo Jing's dead fish-like eyes were aimed at Xi and the sword on the ground, and a terrifying chill suddenly rose from the bottom of his eyes.
"Whoever dares to be rude to the fire boy, die!"
A violent shout that was enveloped by the powerful Yuan Force swept from afar, completely extinguishing the strong urge in Huo Jing's heart to vent his anger with Huo Xu.
