"Daoist friends sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and this will never be forgotten in the future!" Huo Xuanchong bowed deeply to the twelve people, and his expression was full of respect.

"Without this action, I wouldn't have been able to live long, and I was able to use my crippled body to exchange a large amount of cultivation resources for future generations, in the end, we still earned it!" these twelve people actually said in unison, and their tones all meant that they regarded death as home.

Huo Xuan nodded, and said slowly: "The firm promises to give you descendants a pension, half a piece of immortal stone will not be less, in addition, I can also promise that all Taoist friends have their blood and soul retained, with the current development speed of the firm, at most ten thousand years will have a strong enough heritage, looking for your reincarnation, and then there will be a special person to guide you, my Xuanhuo firm is duty-bound, and bless the Taoist friends to practice for a lifetime!"

"With the words of the owner, I will wait for death without regrets!" The twelve people bowed and saluted, and their eyes were full of indescribable surprise. The rest of the men in black also nodded secretly.

"The time for action is set in three days, and the specific plan, all Taoist friends, listen to me......" In the dense forest, the sound of whispering and discussion came out, and it was not until more than half an hour later that it was quiet.

In order to facilitate the collection of taxes, the hook snake clan set up a lot of sentry posts similar to shops along the river, on the one hand, to prevent people from stealing, on the other hand, to collect the tax of scattered immortals.

"Lord Iron Hook, are you going back to the city today, are you going to attend the feast of the Elder Fangs?"

In front of a sentry post, three Hooked Snake Clansmen asked with a flattering smile at another tall Hooked Snake Clan. The Hooked Snake Clan, known as the 'Iron Hook Lord', is the captain of the sentry here. The second grade of the earth immortal is cultivated, and his other identity is the descendant of the bloodline of the elder of the clan, and his status is quite high.

"The ancestor is very happy today, of course our juniors want to give a congratulatory gift!"

Iron Hook laughed, and when he saw several scattered immortals walking not far away, his face showed disdain, and he instructed his subordinates: "Remember, from today onwards, this gang of miscellaneous taxes will be increased by half more, and Lord Ben will honor the heart of the Poison Fang Ancestor." It's up to them!"

"Yes!"

Several Hooked Snake Clansmen grinned and took the order. Then he turned around, and immediately changed his face, and the fierce god rushed towards those scattered immortals. Soon, shouting and scolding. There were also cries of pleading. Iron hooks seem to be used to it. With a light snort, he shot up to the sky and flew towards the city of the river.

After he left. Not far away, in a hidden corner, a faint figure appeared, 'whooshing' through the air, and followed closely behind.

The sentry posts along the river are thousands of miles away from the city, and they can be reached in half an hour with an iron hook. As he swept over a mountain peak, suddenly, he heard an indifferent male voice in his ears.

"Come down for me!"

On the clouds, an invisible net of great nets spread down without any warning. When the iron hook found out, it was too late to dodge, and he felt that his whole body was tight, and he had been entangled in a huge net, and the whole person fled to the ground like a meteorite under a strong pull.

"There's an enemy attack!"

He reacted immediately, and was about to shout a warning, but at this moment, he smelled a sweet smell from his mouth and nose, and the next moment, he was already unconscious.

In the col, in a hidden corner, Huo Xuan showed his figure, looking at the iron hook lying on the ground and unconscious by cobwebs, and a cold color flashed on his face. I saw that he pinched his hands together, and a huge monster phantom immediately appeared above his head, which was like a leech, but it had a long tail hook shaped like a scorpion tail, and with a flick in mid-air, the sharp tail hook was directly inserted into the iron hook Tianling, and after a while, the monster phantom disappeared.

Huo Xuan smiled mysteriously at this time, waved his hand to lift the cobwebs on the other party's body, and with a shake of his body, the person had disappeared without a trace. Less than half a pillar of incense after he left, the iron hook woke up slowly, his consciousness regained in an instant, and he stood up with a confused and incomprehensible expression on his face.

"Why am I here......" He didn't seem to remember anything about what happened before, and he stood still for a while, before he muttered: "I have to go back to the city as much as possible, don't delay the hour." With that, he rediscovered his retreat and flew towards the city.

And Huo Xuan, hiding at the moment, quietly followed behind him.

Soon the iron hook came to the city, and when he fell at the gate, the guards greeted him warmly. It can be seen that the iron hook has a wide range of connections in the hooked snake clan and is extremely popular.

He nodded at those clansmen wantonly, and without saying much, he went directly into the city and went to his ancestor's mansion. Huo Xuan also showed his figure outside the city gate, dressed up as an old scattered immortal for a year, came to the city gate, honestly paid the entrance fee, and then entered the city.

When he came to the city, he did not follow the iron hook, but turned around and came to the Holy Ancestor Shrine of the Hook Snake Clan, wandering outside and not entering, as if waiting for an opportunity. On the other side, the iron hook came to a mansion in the center of the city, it was close to evening, the gate of the mansion was lit up, beaming with joy, and there were endless guests, most of them were members of the Hook Snake clan, and there were also guests from other sacred beast families.

"Brother Twelve, you're here!"

At the door, a young man saw the iron hook and greeted him with a smile on his face. When the iron hook saw him, he also showed a rare smile, reached out and took out a ring, threw it to the other party, and said: "Old fifteen, this is a little heart for my ancestor to congratulate him." ”

The hooked snake clan known as the 'Old Fifteen' took the ring, swept his mind, and exclaimed: "Three hundred medium-grade immortal stones, twelve brothers, what a big stroke!"

"No way, the ancestor is overjoyed, I'll wait for the juniors to congratulate, this congratulatory gift can't be taken lightly!" Iron Hook smiled, and the two walked towards the mansion side by side. When he stepped into the door of the mansion, a strange light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the iron hook, and immediately, he turned his head to look at his own brother and asked, "Old Fifteen, have you ever seen the concubine that the ancestor has accepted this time?"

"Of course I did. "The 'old fifteen' smiled exaggeratedly, with a sound in his mouth, attached to the iron hook ear, and lowered his voice and said: "That wonderful person, born charming, one look can make people ecstatic, wonderful......"

The iron hook said 'oh', smiled, stretched out his hand on the other party's shoulder, and said, "Hearing you say that, I also want to see it...... Old Fifteen, you have always served in the Ancestral Mansion, this little thing should not be difficult for you!"

"This ......" Old Fifteen looked hesitant and a little embarrassed. "Fifteenth brother, I treat you well for my brother on weekdays, but you refuse to help you with this little thing, and you are going to be angry for your brother. Iron Hook pretended to be displeased, and then said more, "Just take a look, even if the ancestor finds out, it's not a big deal, don't forget, we are all ancestors." ”

"Okay. Old Fifteen nodded and agreed. As the other party said, he usually receives a lot of benefits from this brother, some small things, if he refuses to help, this is not reasonable.

"This woman is forbidden by the ancestors, brother twelve, let's talk about it, just take a look, don't move your hands and feet, otherwise the ancestors will know, and we won't be able to eat and walk around!" In his opinion, his brother likes women, and this request is also to satisfy the desire to peep, as long as he doesn't act excessively, there is no problem.

"Don't worry!" the iron hook grabbed him, and the two of them talked and laughed, and walked towards the inner hall of the mansion.

"Go this way!"

Led by the 'Old Fifteen', they walked through a few corridors from a remote path to an attic. Stopping, the 'old fifteen' mysteriously pointed to the attic and said, "The person is inside." ”

"Let's go in and have a look. The iron hook was a little impatient at the moment, so he wanted to push the door away, but was stopped by the 'old fifteen', "Brother Twelve, you are still so reckless, this attic is forbidden by the ancestors, if you push the door like this, the ancestors will find out immediately!"

"I'm a little anxious for my brother!" Iron Hook stopped and smiled, embarrassed to touch his head. 'Old Fifteen' took out a token, shook it at the iron hook, and said proudly: "I am responsible for this woman's daily residence, and the ancestor specially gave the token, only it can remove the prohibition around the attic." ”

Iron Hook's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Then there is Brother Lao, hurry up and make a move, I can't wait for my brother!" 'Old Fifteen' laughed, the token in his hand flickered, and a flash of spiritual light flashed, covering the entire attic, and after that, he stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, and said, "Brother Twelve, you can go in!"

The iron hook took the lead and pushed the door away. The 'Old Fifteen' followed closely behind him, not leaving an inch. The two entered the attic and saw that the hall was empty. The iron hook was about to speak, and the 'old fifteen' beside him had already spoken, and said loudly: "Fairy Lan, please come out and see you!"

After a few breaths, footsteps came from upstairs, and it wasn't long before a thousand charming young women appeared on the stairs and strolled down. At a glance, the iron hook couldn't help but show surprise on his face.

"What are you doing?" the young woman came to the hall, didn't even look at the iron hook, and said this coldly at the 'old fifteen', and the jade face couldn't hide the disgust. 'Old Fifteen' laughed a few times dryly, and said: "On the order of the ancestor, come over to see if Fairy Lan is okay, well, the fairy has a good face, and he can rest assured in the future, you can go back to the ancestor!" He didn't dare to explain the purpose of coming, it was to take the elder brother of the family to see the appearance of this woman, and to say this excuse, I expected that the other party would not ask about his ancestor in the future and cause trouble.

After that, the 'old fifteen' pulled the iron hook and wanted to retreat. Under a pull, who expected that the iron hook body was like a rock, and it did not move at all, as if there was no idea of leaving. Seeing this, the 'old fifteen' frowned, and secretly transmitted: "Brother Twelve, don't forget that we agreed before, this woman is forbidden by the ancestors, and you can't touch it!" In his heart, this brother of his own family must have been attracted by this woman's appearance and had thoughts in his heart, so he warned him.

Iron Hook sighed, as if he had come to his senses, cast an apologetic gaze, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "Fifteen brothers, I have a great thing to discuss with you for my brother...... As soon as he heard that there was a good thing, the 'old fifteen' did not suspect that he had it, and listened attentively, without the slightest defense. Just when the two of them were talking to each other, face to face less than half a foot away, suddenly, a strange light shot out from the center of the iron hook eyebrows, and directly drilled into the head of the 'old fifteen', who snorted and immediately lay down on the ground and fell unconscious.

"What do you want to do?"

On the side, the young woman saw this scene in her eyes, and her heart was shocked, and her jade face was immediately full of vigilance. Under the gaze of her beautiful eyes, she saw that the person who came slowly turned her head, smiled gently at herself, and said, "Zhi'er, it's me!" (to be continued......)
