Chapter 120: Fifteen years ago, September Volley
As Ling Hao had guessed, after Xu Jingshen led the city guards to advance, the Lei family and the Zhong family had already begun to gather their men and start their actions at nightfall.
They divided into two routes, one part went to the Zhang family, and the other went to the Feng family, preparing to join the City Lord's Mansion after slaughtering the two families who stood in the united front with the City Lord's Mansion.
However, a group of cultivators led by Lei Hang, the second head of the Lei family, and Zhong Yu, the head of the Zhong family, encountered fierce resistance after they began to act against the Zhang family.
The two Xuanyuan Realm cultivators of the Zhang family, Yang Zhen and Li Zun, in addition to the Feng Hai, had already been prepared!
Not only that, but nearly half of the elite of the Zhang family's mercenary group are also here!
After seeing Lei Hang, Zhong Yu and the others, according to the cultivator who guarded the Zhang family, he didn't say a word, and came up to greet him with crossbow arrows, and caught Lei Hang, Zhong Yu and others, who were about to raid the Zhang family and slaughter everyone, by surprise.
Seeing that the distance was about to be shortened little by little, Yang Zhen and Li Zun had no intention of fighting them, and directly began to throw gunpowder bullets.
The gunpowder shells basically couldn't cause any damage to cultivators who cultivated above the Innate Realm, but after those gunpowder bombs exploded, they actually exploded into an incomparably thick white smoke.
After the fog cleared, Yang Zhen, Li Zun and the others had long since disappeared, leaving only an empty Zhang Mansion.
The same thing happened on the Feng family's side.
The Feng family's medicine store had been moved cleanly, and on the side of the Feng family's mansion, the Feng family cultivators led by Feng Jinlu and Feng Qiang and Lei Xu, the head of the Lei family who came to raid, and some black-clothed cultivators who didn't know each other, fought for a while, and then they also threw out gunpowder bombs that exploded into a white fog. After the fog cleared, the Feng family's old mansion had become empty, and no one was left.
Realizing that something was wrong, the two parties immediately began to follow the plan and march in the direction where the City Lord's Mansion was located.
Two miles east of the City Lord's Mansion, there was a warehouse that the Lei family originally used to store medicinal materials, and now, it was already full of cultivators from the Lei family and the Zhong family, as well as cultivators from the Hundred Ghost Sect who were dressed in black.
After the two cultivators met, they only inquired about the other party's situation a little, and they immediately became clear about one thing:
The Zhang family and the Feng family are obviously prepared!
The Zhang family and the Feng family are prepared, what about the City Lord's Mansion?
Everyone's faces were a little ugly.
After a long time, Lei Hang asked a little bottomlessly: "Big brother, have our actions been discovered by the City Lord's Mansion a long time ago?"
Not only Lei Hang's heart was bottomless, but Zhong Yu was the same, with a look of uneasiness flashing in his eyes.
Lei Xu frowned, and then looked at the black-robed old man next to him, who was thin and had a dark appearance.
"Old Su, what do you think?"
Su Lao's hair is sparse, but it covers his forehead, and he looks very weird.
He laughed for a while, and said gloomily: "Everyone, please rest assured, the old man has made sufficient preparations, even if the Zhang family and the Feng family have already made some moves, they still can't make much waves." ”
"As long as Xu Jingshen and the city guards are not there, no one will be able to stop our plans. After tonight, this Xuanyan City will be ours!"
"When the time comes, everyone present will be able to do whatever they want in this city that belongs to us!"
"Even if the Three-City Alliance Army and the Xuanyan City City Guards don't fight, when Xu Jingshen returns with his people, he can only watch from outside the city as we ravage their families in the city, and then rush over like moths to death to death!"
When everyone heard this, there was a little excitement in their eyes.
"So Su Lao, what should we do next?" asked Lei Hang.
"Wait. ”
Su Lao looked at a skylight in the warehouse: "The old man's student has already killed the maid next to the eldest lady in the City Lord's Mansion, and has changed her appearance into that maid." ”
"When he catches the eldest lady, he will interrogate the old man. Su Laoyin said with a smile, "When the time comes, we can use that eldest lady as a hostage, force those people in the City Lord's Mansion to give up resistance, and then kill them all!"
Zhong Yu hesitated for a while and said, "Old Su, but the people from the City Lord's Mansion are not easy to mess with." This time, in addition to Xu Jingshen, Cao Bo, and Chu Huan, the remaining two deputy city lords, Zhu Lei and He Mingke, were all in the city. ”
"Those two are both Xuanyuan Realm consummate cultivators, and they have experienced a hundred battles, when the time comes, we will ......"
"Hahahaha!"
When Su Lao heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, and his laughter was full of pride:
"Now that we've done it, the old man won't hide it from you. ”
"Then Zhu Lei and He Ming are actually already our people!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
The two deputy city lords of Xuanyan City have actually been bought by the Hundred Ghost Sect?
"Hahaha, I see. Lei Hang's face was surprised after being stunned for a moment, "If Zhu Lei and He Ming are both on the same side as us, then there will really be no one in this Xuanyan City who can stop us!"
The cultivators in the warehouse were all smiling, as if they had seen the coming victory.
Lei Xu said in a low voice after pondering for a long time: "Old Su, I don't know something. ”
"The head of the Lei family, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"Whether it is the Blood Snake Village or the Guizong, they all seem to regard this Xuanyan City as very important, and they even list Xuanyan City as the first target to be captured. Lei Xu looked puzzled, "What is so special about this Xuanyan City?"
After Su Lao was silent for a while, he said, "Since we are already in a cooperative relationship, it doesn't hurt to tell the Lei family master." ”
"One night fifteen years ago, there was a vision of 'September Volley' in the night sky of Xuanyan City. I don't know if the Lei family master remembers?"
Lei Xu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
Therefore, according to the old legend, the treasure and the genius came into the world, and the sky showed September to congratulate.
One night fifteen years ago, a blizzard fell on the city of Xuanyan, which rarely snows, and after the blizzard, a vision of September volleys appeared in the sky.
After seeing this vision, the old city lord who was still in power at that time immediately ordered the city guards of Xuanyan City to search all parts of the city.
After that, there were even some characters who were so terrifying that the old city lord and other nine city lords gathered in Xuanyan City and knelt down to greet each other here, almost digging Xuanyan City into the ground.
But in the end, nothing was found.
No earth-shattering treasures have appeared, and no peerless geniuses have been discovered.
After those terrifying characters left, before the old city lord could ambitiously carry out a follow-up search, the White Moon Demon Wolf led the demon beasts of the Yinyun Mountain Range to attack the city in a big way.
Because the old city lord died in that battle, many people felt that the so-called September volley vision was a bad omen that would bring disaster to Xuanyan City, and no one mentioned it anymore.
"Throughout the history of the continent, the number of occurrences of the September volley vision is also very rare, and all of them have fulfilled the legend. Su Lao's tone was gloomy, "And Xuanyan City, but nothing has been found, this is really too abnormal." ”
"After capturing Xuanyan City, my Hundred Ghost Sect will conduct a thorough search of this city, even if it is ten feet into the ground, we must find the thing that caused the September volley vision!"
"If I can get that thing, my Hundred Ghost Sect will definitely become the strongest existence in this Great Chu, and even in the southern region of the entire continent!"
As he spoke, the door to the warehouse opened, and a group of heavily armed City Guard sergeants slowly entered.
The first two are the two deputy city lords of Xuanyan City, Zhu Lei and He Ming!
Without waiting for Su Lao's warm welcome, He Ming said in a low voice:
"Old Su, the situation has changed. ”
"Your student, dead. ”
