Chapter Eighty-Four: Vicious Father and Son
Seeing the tense scene that suddenly turned into a hand-to-hand encounter, Mu Yifan's face suddenly sank, he didn't want to make such a fuss as soon as he came up, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said slightly angrily: "Great Elder, Third Elder, what do you mean by this? Can't you just listen to them explain a little?" "Second brother, don't worry, it's they who first broke into the forbidden land without permission, and then killed and injured our beast herd. According to the rules of their own clan, they have already committed a capital crime and must be executed on the spot......" The fat-faced old man sitting on the right hand side said to Mu Yifan in a gloomy tone. "Fart, Mu Hongying, you have to tell the old man, where did our guardian herdsman get such killing rules? Even the group of federal soldiers hundreds of years ago were greedy for the fierce beast spirit core in the mountain range and slaughtered our beast spirit, so we had no choice but to get rid of them. Later, our clan was led by the patriarch Mu Dingtian, and he has never killed a person by mistake, so how can he kill innocents indiscriminately now?" Hearing this, Mu Yifan pointed at the three elders and scolded loudly. "You are presumptuous! Mu Yifan, don't forget, now this entire Shepherd Mountain Villa is presided over by Elder Ben, and all the so-called things in the clan are all decided by me Mu Jian alone!" "You, now you're just the acting patriarch......" As soon as the Great Elder Mu Jian said this, Mu Yifan's body trembled slightly, and then he was unwilling to shut up honestly, flicked his sleeves, and retreated to the side.
Glancing at Mu Yifan gratefully, Ye Shi's face was unwavering, and he looked around at the group of armored warriors around him fearlessly, and when he finally turned his eyes to the two elders in the center, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Two elders, although it is not voluntary for the three of me to break into the mountain and hurt the beast, it is also a matter for a reason, and it is a last resort. It's just that, in terms of the so-called clan rules of the two of you, it seems that you really treat the three of us as soft persimmons? Or is it ...... Two of them thought that with only a few dozen seventh- and eighth-level martial artists, they would let the three of us obediently tie our hands and arrest them?"
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, as soon as Ye Shi's sneer fell, the three of them suddenly released a fierce and intense energy reaction. In an instant, a burst of icy aura spread to all corners of the entire conference hall, and even made the group of armored warriors feel like they had fallen into an ice cellar. "This, this powerful momentum is ......" Accompanied by the infinite extension of the high-energy evil qi, it seemed to be spreading as if it was a plague, instantly shocking those martial artists, and one by one a look of disbelief appeared.
To be honest, it's no wonder they were horrified, who would have thought that the three of them who had looked young and young before would be able to exude such a powerful energy as substance. Even the black-haired boy who looked at him who was so much younger than himself, after just one glance, made them instantly feel the urge to throw down the weapon in their hands and then turn around and want to run away.
"Damn, it's actually two ninth-level and ninth-level powerhouses, and even one elemental auxiliary master looks like it's at the level of eighth?......! Damn, if you really want to fight hard with them recklessly, even if you can win, it will be a miserable win...... No, Elder Ben has just grasped the power and is not yet stable, and if he fights so hard, he will definitely lose a lot of his henchmen who have worked so hard to cultivate, which is quite detrimental to my plan to unify the Shepherd's Villa. Let's bear with it first......" At this time, the Great Elder Mu Jian's eyes shrank tightly, and while he was shocked in his heart, his brain was also spinning wildly. Immediately, he hurriedly beckoned the group of armored warriors to retreat, and his face changed from normal to a dry smile. "Haha, misunderstanding, pure misunderstanding. As the second elder said, our clan has always treated people with courtesy, just now...... I just want to try the courage of the three, and it's really a hero out of a young man, haha...... Uh, then, what are you three young men doing in my Shepherd's Lodge?"
"Damn, this old man is really shameless, this kind of nonsense to deceive children...... Who the would believe Na ......" Hearing this, the three of them scolded in unison in disgust.
At the same time, he glanced at the Great Elder Mu Jian with great contempt, and Mu Yifan hurriedly stepped forward and replied with his fists cupped: "The three of them are young master Muli's college classmates, and they have come all the way to find someone. ”
"What, they are looking for this traitor ......Mu Li" Hearing this, the third elder Mu Hongying's face changed color suddenly, and he secretly glanced at the eldest elder, and then immediately closed his mouth. "Uh, see Muri...... Yes, yes...... However, he is not very stable at the moment...... Well, then...... The Second Elder will trouble you again and take them to the wooden house to meet. After pondering and hesitating for a while, Great Elder Mu Jian slowly nodded and whispered to Mu Yifan below. "Don't bother, the old man just wants to go out for a walk. Mu Yifan didn't seem to want to stay here for a second longer, and after hearing this, his face was not flat, and he didn't even bother to look at Mu Jian again, so he turned around and led the three of them out of the hall of the Yi Hall.
"Damn, this second child is too bad to give the boss your face, do you think it's great to be loved by the villagers......" After everyone left, the third elder Mu Hongying stood up directly and scolded. "Third child, don't be impatient, in a day's time, as soon as the clan ceremony is over, wait for Elder Ben to officially become the patriarch, and then see how he is arrogant and arrogant in front of me......" gently persuaded the third child, and the great elder Mu Jian showed a vicious and hideous gaze......
Walking on the field road, Yeshi did not relax his vigilance, and from time to time secretly glanced at the shadows in the shadows of the village, and finally couldn't help but ask Mu Yifan: "Senior Mu, you also witnessed everything with your own eyes just now, if it weren't for the fact that we still have a little strength to protect ourselves, I'm afraid the corpses will be cold at this time." However, the matter of your village seems to have implicated the three of us. At this moment, if you don't want us to die unjustly in the village, can you tell us the truth about what happened here?" In the past, the village had always been governed by the old patriarch Mu Dingtian, and we three elders assisted me. However, because of the strength of our race, we have been valued by a few small countries on the periphery, and in recent years, some envoys have come to us, hoping to win over or co-opt our people. Originally, the patriarch and the old man categorically refused to accept it, but Mu Jian and Mu Hongying were greedy, and they both wanted to gain benefits from one of the small countries called Wei Qiu. It's just that this matter has no choice but to make the patriarch and me press back. It's a pity that just a few months ago, the patriarch suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away soon after......" Mu Yifan said sadly.
The Principality of Vitchu, located in the northern part of the Setizunka Mountains, is a small but wealthy country. Outside the border of the Merk Federation, it is one of the most powerful countries among many small countries. It is said that about 30 years ago, their king was extremely ambitious, unwilling to accept the existing land resources in the country, and launched a military invasion of other small countries' materials, and in the end, several small countries were terrified and everyone was in danger. I couldn't bear it, so I jointly asked the Merk Federation for help. At this point, the Duchy of Weiqiu was warned by the federal suppression, and its ambitions had to be curtailed a little.
"Well, that means that now this Great Elder Mu Jian wants to take the opportunity to take power, and then wants to merge with other small countries. But what does this have to do with Muri, etc...... Could it be that he is heh...... Won't it......" Hearing this, Ye Shi snorted coldly at first, but immediately, his head suddenly flashed, and he stopped directly. "Well, that's right, Young Master Muli is the son of the previous patriarch and the next heir of the Shepherd Villa in the future......"
"Ahh Dare to love now, we and Muri are not in danger, but are already in extreme danger......" Yeshi sighed bitterly, and said with a very ugly face. "Hehe, smart boy, and the identity of the old man is inconvenient to interfere, if you want to live, it all depends on how you resolve the ......" One hand on Yeshi's shoulder, Mu Yifan lowered his head with a touch of anticipation. "It turns out that you deliberately led us into the village from the beginning to help you ......" was involved in a family dispute for no reason, and Yeshi was also extremely depressed in his heart. "Hehe, if you help the old man, you are helping Young Master Muli, aren't you good friends? Don't worry, if you can really let Young Master Muli inherit the position of patriarch, let my Shepherd Villa avoid a catastrophe. I, Mu Yifan, swear to heaven that I will spend my life assisting the young master. Mu Yifan smiled slyly and secretly transmitted the message to the night world. "Senior Mu, I really didn't see it, although you look honest, how can you have the same attribute as the president of our university. "Hey, what attributes?" "Old fox ......" "......"
"Stop! This wooden house is a forbidden place in the mountain villa, who is here?" In the middle of the sound, everyone came to a wooden house, but before they could get closer, several armored warriors with sharp weapons stopped at the door. "Are you blind, you can't see who the old man is, get out of here!" "Yo, who should my nephew be, it turned out to be the second uncle who came to visit. However, even if you come in person, no one will be able to see the angry patriarch's rebel son in the house without my father's order. Among them, there was a man about thirty or forty years old, with a somewhat handsome pink face, but with a feminine aura, and a smile on the corner of his mouth, and slowly walked out from the crowd of guards. "Hmph, this is what your Lao Tzu personally agreed, if you don't believe it, just go back and ask your Lao Tzu. Looking at the man in front of him with a smirk, Mu Yifan really had the urge to slap him, and finally held back the anger in his heart, and then snorted coldly. "Father actually allowed it? hehe...... In that case, then I won't disturb your gathering, let's go!" Hearing this, the man's face was slightly stunned, but immediately, he immediately showed a smile of the spring breeze, gently lowered his head and hugged his fists, and quickly beckoned all the armored warriors to retreat. And when he was leaving, the feminine man turned his head to look at Ao Xiaoyu and Qinghe, and an evil color flashed in his eyes.
"The leading man's name is Mu Saiping, he is the turtle son of the great elder Mu Jian, and he always relies on his identity as Lao Tzu on weekdays, always acting as a prestige in the village, bullying men and women. In the early years, the young master Muli often cleaned him up, but unfortunately since the young master went out of the village to study, this little bastard has become more and more arrogant, and the old man is angry when he sees him. Seeing that Mu Yiping and his group left, Mu Yifan snorted heavily and scolded in extreme disgust.
And looking at the back of Mu Saiping, the thoughts in Ye Shi's heart flickered, and a burst of incense slowly floated behind him, which made him feel refreshed, and his eyes turned to look at Ao Xiaoyu is lotus step moved lightly. "This wooden sacrifice is not a good thing, when he looked at me and Sister Qinghe just now, there was a yin and evil taste in his eyes. Presumably, this person probably practiced some kind of yin poison technique to take yin and replenish yang. Moreover, according to Miss Ben's observation, there should be more than ten feminine energies diffusing in his body...... "Take yin to supplement yang!? Could he ......" Qinghe was shocked when he heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he screamed. "That's right, this bastard is a complete brute, it is estimated that more than ten women have been sacrificed, so you have to be extra careful with him in the future......" Ye Shi's face was extremely incomparable, and the tone in his mouth was full of evil.
"What are you talking about! Mu Saiping, that little bastard, is actually cultivating the evil sect Yin Gong? It's impossible, but whoever takes the evil method of supplementing yin and yang, it needs a woman with a certain amount of energy in the body to act as a meat tripod, but no girl in our Shepherd Villa is missing, how can he cultivate?" The three of them said well, and Mu Yifan could naturally hear it. Then he asked with a shocked face.
"Don't get me wrong, before there is conclusive evidence, the three of us are just random suspicions. Belch...... Let's see Kiri first. Ye Shi smiled slightly and opened the subject. "Yes, the young master is inside, you go in, the old man is guarding outside. After all, it was related to the future situation of the entire Shepherd Villa, Mu Yifan immediately interrupted the suspicion in his heart and said hurriedly.
This wooden house is not large, about forty or fifty square meters in size, the beams are covered with white cloth strips, the ground is sprinkled with white flower petals, and a wooden coffin is placed in the center. Obviously, this wooden house is a mourning hall, and in the coffin should be the former patriarch Mu Dingtian. However, the room was dark and filled with a sad atmosphere. Through a glimmer of light, a figure sat silently on the floor, motionless, in a corner deep inside.
"Wood, wood, you sober up, talk, Muli, Muli......" At this moment, the three of them finally met with Muli. But it's a pity that now his mood seems to have declined to the extreme, his eyes are hollow, his body and mind are completely insensitive, and he doesn't look like the Lingyun of a young master at all. Not to mention getting up and replying, it is impossible to even move for a moment, and the whole person seems to have become a real log.
"No, Brother Yeshi, Muli may be overly sad because of his father's death, which leads to the closure of his heart, if he continues like this, if he can't stimulate his mind, I'm afraid Muli is likely to be decadent for the rest of his life. After Qinghe carefully observed Muli, he hurriedly pulled Ye Shi and Ao Xiaoyu together, anxious, and said very sadly.
Looking at the crying and anxious Qinghe sister, as well as the walking corpse-like Muli, Ye Shi also felt a sense of difficulty in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he comforted softly, "Don't worry, sister, I will think about it." Well, although people can't be resurrected after death, if we can find some clues from it, maybe it can give Muri a spiritual comfort. For example, what did his father die of a serious illness, and did the cause of death have anything to do with the great elder's father and son...... "It makes sense, I have to give Muli an answer, maybe...... This may be able to spark the trauma in his heart......" Hearing this, Qinghe wiped away his tears and muttered in his mouth. "But after all, we are outsiders, and we are also unfamiliar with the inside and outside of the mountain villa, so it is better to call Elder Mu in and ......discuss it together," Ao Xiaoyu said in agreement.
...... At the same time, in a room in the Shepherd's Villa, the Great Elder Mu Jian was sitting alone on a chair with a gloomy face, raising a glass and sipping tea. "Father, father, how can you agree to let Mu Yifan and them see that kid!" A moment later, several people broke in from outside the room, led by his son Mu Saiping. "There are no rules, you shut up Lao Tzu...... You've come just in time, I have something to say to you, let them all out first. Listening to his son's loud noise, Mu Jian frowned, severely interrupted Mu Saiping's shouting, and sent away a group of followers behind his son by the way.
Next, after the followers respectfully retreated, Mu Xianping obediently came to the side of the Great Elder Mu Jian, and said in a low voice of dissatisfaction: "Father, why did you let them meet in the Mu Family Spirit Hall, aren't you afraid that Mu Yifan will notice a trace of clues?" "Hehe, what if? That kind ......of poison hasn't even been discovered when Mu Dingtian was alive, and others can't find it." Wait for tomorrow's patriarchal ceremony, if Mu Dingtian's body is burned, everything will sink into the sea, what are you afraid of?" After making sure that there was no partition wall and ears, the Great Elder picked up the teacup and smiled grimly. "My son is not worried about this, I am worried that in the patriarchal ceremony tomorrow, in case that kid in Muli comes to his senses and competes with you for the position of patriarch. You also know that this kid has always been talented, and after studying in the outside world for a few more years, his strength has increased greatly when he comes back,...... Besides, that patriarch seal flag, haven't we found it yet?" Mu Saiping hurriedly persuaded him.
Hearing this, Mu Jian's body trembled slightly, and then he said in a deep voice with some disdain: "Hmph, what if that kid is talented? Elder Ben is still afraid of a little rabbit cub who is less than the ninth level?...... It's just that you're right, the patriarch's seal flag is an important token of our clan, if you don't have it...... Elder Ben would not be able to truly inherit the position of village chief. What's even more troublesome is that we have already negotiated a cooperation agreement with the small country outside the mountain range, and time waits for no one......"
"Cut, it's just a small national power, and it's really giving them face, and they want to annex my Shepherd's Villa. Soon, when our clan migrates to their country, with the strong strength of our imperial beasts, it will be a matter of time before we occupy and erode all rights, so why give them such a big face. Mu Saihei squinted his eyes slightly, and said disdainfully in his mouth. "That can't be said, for now, Elder Ben must put down his body and give the Weiqiu people an attitude of wanting to conspire, so that the Weiqiu people will think that our clan is sincere and obedient. Belch...... Let's not talk about the future, the most important thing now is how to unify the entire Shepherd's Villa into the hands of Lao Tzu. Moreover, the three young outsiders today are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they must always be on guard against causing trouble. ...... Sai Ping, you usually have the most slippery brain, try to give Lao Tzu an idea?" the Great Elder stroked his beard, and when he finished speaking, his eyes added a touch of coldness in vain.
"Hehe, my son has already thought of a clever plan for you. It doesn't matter if you don't have the Patriarch's Seal Banner, as for those three outsiders who are not from my clan after all, what qualifications do they have to make irresponsible remarks in the villa, there is no need to worry at all. If someone disagrees during the period, I will let some younger brothers fan the flames, not afraid that the other party will not comply. At that time, you just need to get Mu Yifan, and I will help you clean up that wood......" Mu Xiping smiled, and the coldness of his eyes was not much worse than that of his Lao Tzu.
You must know that although he is a gentleman, he is also a dragon and phoenix among people. Since he was a child, he has always grown up in a song of merit and virtue, and he is listed as one of the best genius young masters in the clan. When he was young, the family focused on cultivating him, and I don't know how many natural treasures were used on him, hoping that he could cultivate at the eighth level of the general level earlier. Of course, Mu Saihei did not disappoint his father, and after the accumulation of many treasures and medicines, the latter also managed to climb to the level of an eighth-level master before the age of thirty, and his strength far surpassed that of his peers, and he stood out in the Shepherd's Villa. But it's a pity that the brilliance of Kishohei didn't dazzle for long, and the so-called first place among the young generation masters was replaced by another talented teenager. And this young man, who was just born, had the spirit root of the Thunder Elemental Inheritance, and when he was a teenager, although he only had three or four levels of energy reactions in his body, he could still easily defeat Mu Saiping by leaping over the level. That's right, this young man is the son of the old patriarch Mu Dingtian, a classmate of Mu Tou Muli. Therefore, the scenery and pride of Mu Saiping are not worth mentioning in front of the latter, and gradually, this kind of old suppressed frustration makes Mu Saiping have a deep and strong jealousy and resentment towards Muli in his heart, and he wants to get rid of it all the time.
"Well, it's good, I didn't hurt you in vain. Remember, everything I do now is for your future......" Hearing this, Mu Jian nodded in satisfaction, stroked his beard and laughed out loud. "That's, that's, you're my umbrella, and my son deserves to be my father's burden. Oh yes, Father, a few days ago, the envoy of Na Weiqiu presented dozens of women with very good qualifications, and the son specially selected two of them that are both beautiful and some of the meat dings, waiting for you to taste them for yourself......" Listening to his father's praise, Mu Saiping said flatteringly. "Okay, but don't let outsiders know about this kind of thing, the practice of taking yin and supplementing yang is extremely domineering, and you can't ......disturb it in the slightest when you cultivate" "You can just put a hundred hearts, I have sent two henchmen to detain them all in a wooden house ten miles outside the village, and no one will disturb your cultivation ......" "Hahaha......" The old eyes glanced at Mu Xianping slightly, and a sinister expression appeared on the face of the great elder Mu Jian, and immediately, he echoed his son and laughed loudly.
In the mourning hall of the villa, four people, Yeshi, Ao Xiaoyu, Qinghe, and Mu Yifan, gathered together.
At this time, the central coffin in the house has been opened, after the worship is made in front of the deceased. The Qinghe girl stepped forward, closed her eyes slightly, and slowly hung her toes in the air, immediately dissipating a stream of colorful energy from her body. After a long time, I saw her take a deep breath, and actually transformed this colorful energy into a wisp of smoke and mist, and then eroded it on the corpse through guidance. Immediately, the jade hand stretched out to grasp, and gradually sucked the colorful smoke directly into the palm of his hand. "Poof. But in an instant, the delicate body of the Qinghe girl trembled violently, her beautiful face became quite difficult to look at, and even a mouthful of black blood suddenly spurted out of her small mouth.
"Sure enough, it's poisonous...... "Sister, are you okay?" Seeing this, Yeshi and Ao Xiaoyu hurriedly helped her down. "It's okay, fortunately, this poison has not absorbed much, and it has been forced out of my mouth just now. Qinghe shook his head slightly, and said with a pale face. "Can you find out what kind of poison it is?" Then, slowly supporting Qinghe on the floor, Yeshi asked calmly by holding her hand. "Oh, it seems to be a kind of chronic poison. Although a small dose will not cause any harm to the body, once the poison reaches a certain amount, the poison will instantly spread to all parts of the body, and there is no cure at the time of the poison. He took out a few poison-avoiding pills from the space items, and after taking them, Qinghe's face became more rosy.
Suddenly, Mu Yifan's old face was gloomy and terrifying, the roots of his teeth were clenched, and he couldn't help but scold angrily: "The old man just said, we protect the herdsman family, which has a long history from ancient times. Take Muli's father, Mu Dingtian, for example, breaking through the eighth level at the age of thirty, and approaching the ninth level at the age of thirty-five, although he only had a young master Muli at the age of seventy, but his body is still young and powerful, and he is vigorous, how could he suddenly get seriously ill and die? This must have been harmed, I think ...... The murderer is 100% the old bastard of the wooden sword......"
"Evidence, everything must pay attention to evidence, just based on this little clue, it is difficult to conclude that the murderer is Mu Jian father and son. Interrupting Mu Yifan's anger, Yeshi supported his cheek with one hand, pondered for a while, and then said in a deep voice. "Then what should I do? From noon tomorrow, the patriarch ceremony will start immediately, but in front of him, the young master of Muli still looks like this, and he will definitely not be able to compete with Mu Jian for the position of patriarch. "You must know that Mu Yifan has a strong personality, is celibate, and does not like to form gangs, although he is very loved by the villagers, it is a pity that his power in the village is weak, and he cannot compete with the Great Elder Mu Jian. But there is one thing worth affirming, as the second elder of the village, he still has a wealth of experience in living for hundreds of years, and with his sophisticated eyes, it seems that he has already seen that the black-haired young man in front of him, whether it is his strength cultivation and wisdom level, or the demeanor of a general, is by no means a few points more than that of Young Master Muli.
"Hmm...... I haven't thought of a good way yet, so it's better for Elder Mu to go back and rest first, and then I'll inform you as soon as the three of us have results." Nightworld shook his head with a wry smile. “...... Okay, the old man asked someone to help you prepare some food, you have been in the dust along the way, first settle down here and rest......" Mu Yifan also knew that this matter could not be too urgent, after hearing this, the old man glanced at Mu Li who was sitting on the floor in a daze, then sighed, and then turned around and walked out of the mourning hall alone.
After Mu Yifan left, Yeshi asked Ao Xiaoyu and Qinghe to take care of Muli, but he stepped out of the mourning hall alone, and sat on the wooden platform in front of the door and meditated. "Alas, since ancient times, the dispute between the royal family and the big family over power has been the most cruel, Wang Hao's family is like this, why is the Muli family also like this. Is it possible to force it by force? No, this is bound to hurt many innocent villagers, is there any way to achieve the best of both worlds......" "Hehe, night boy, have you forgotten the old man and me? I have a plan to get the best of both worlds, and I can minimize the loss, even ...... Maybe you can make the father and son jump out and confess their sins, do you want to hear it?" At this time, when the night world was distressed, in the Polestar necklace, Sheng Yan suddenly said with a smile. "Hey, Senior Sheng Yan has a good way? Say it quickly, boy, I'm about to burn my eyebrows now!" If there is Sheng Yan's help, it will naturally be very good, and Ye Shi will be overjoyed.
"Hmph, if the old man hadn't looked at a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks in the mourning hall, the old man would really be too lazy to care about this kind of boring idle matter. You remember, we're going to do this tomorrow...... And then like this...... Do you understand?" "I'll go, senior, you're really sinister and cunning, but I like ......" After hearing this, Yeshi's face was overjoyed, and his eyes flashed with light. "Damn boy, are you complimenting people, no big or small, I don't know how to respect the elderly, don't always learn from that little girl in the demon world......" When Ye Shi ran into the mourning hall quickly, about to inform everyone, in the pole star, Sheng Yan let out a snort of dissatisfaction.
The next morning, the sun rises in the east, and the warm light shines on the earth.
"Three guests from outside, we are hereby inviting you to gather at the Righteous Hall by order of the elders!" The sky had just dawned, and outside the mourning hall of the wooden house, several armored warriors were already outside the door, shouting loudly. "I know, we just finished resting, and it's not bad to go for tea by the way, so let's let you lead the way." With a click, the door was pushed open, and the three of them walked out with a smile. I know very well that what should come will always come, no matter what, this precursor to this 'Hongmen Banquet', everyone will have to break through. Of course, you have to go there for the first step of the plan......
"Hey, three elders, it's early. Accompanied by the leader to the hall of the villa, Ye Shi looked at the three elders sitting on the chair in the center, and waved hello with a smile on his face. "Hehe, three guests, please take a seat. Great Elder Mu Jian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he coughed dryly, inviting the three of them to sit down. "It smells so good, uh...... Elders, call us over early in the morning, it won't be as simple as just drinking a few cups of tea, you might as well talk about anything. Picking up the teacup in his hand, he sniffed the tea slightly with the tip of his nose, and asked with a smile on his face. "Oh, actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the time you came is relatively coincidental, there is going to be a very important ceremony in our clan villa at noon today, I don't know if you ......" Great Elder Mu Jian said tentatively.
"Is it a major ceremony? Ha, what a coincidence, of course to participate, this kind of once-in-a-lifetime good day, we must see it in person, don't we?" Before the Great Elder finished speaking, Ye Shi pretended to be happy, as if he was quite interested in this matter. "Ahem, Elder Ben doesn't mean that, the patriarch ceremony is a major festival of the clan, and it is not easy for outsiders to participate, Elder Ben means to ......" Hearing this, the Great Elder Mu Jian almost choked on the tea, and hurriedly explained embarrassedly. "It doesn't matter, it's rare for outsiders in the clan to visit as guests, isn't it just a few more pairs of bowls and chopsticks, since you have caught up, it's not a big deal to participate in the ceremony, and it's very welcome. Suddenly, Mu Yifan on the left hand side suddenly interjected with a smile and directly blocked the mouth of the Great Elder. "Damn Mu Yifan, you sincerely want to get along with Elder Ben......" The words were blocked twice, and the Great Elder scolded with a gloomy face. But in an instant, the haze was swept away, and a fake smile was forced on his face. "Well, it's okay to just take a look. However, after all, you are outsiders, and you are still very unfamiliar with some of the rules of the clan, so you must remember to just look at it and not say it, otherwise, you will be disrespectful to the ancestors of our clan......"
Hearing this, Ye Shi didn't seem to hear his last few warnings, but turned his head and asked with a smile: "Great Elder, I heard that your patriarch is going to elect a new patriarch this time, I wonder if there are any candidates?" "Hmph, what kind of candidate do you want, except for the deceased old patriarch, who in my Shepherd Villa doesn't know that my eldest brother is the most respected and strong! The second brother is not as good as him, and my Mu Hongying is even worse than him!" On the side, the Mu Hongying on the right hand suddenly shouted. "Oh, yes? But how did I hear that...... Muli is also one of the candidates in the clan, and he is also the son of the former patriarch, inheriting the orthodox bloodline of the guardian clan. Ye Shi took a sip of tea and said softly with a look of disapproval. "He, how is it possible? He, a rebel son who is angry with the old patriarch, what qualifications does he have to inherit the Shepherd Villa! To tell you the truth, the purpose of this patriarch's ceremony is to elect my eldest brother as the next patriarch, and second, to announce that this rebel son is not a member of our clan in the ceremony, and then expel him from the village...... Mu Hongying's words became louder and louder. "Cut, if you say expel and expel you, are you really sure that Muli's father was angry with wood? Miss Ben sees that you are an elemental powerhouse, how can you speak so without going through your brain. In this regard, Ao Xiaoyu drank tea while a sneer came out of his mouth.
"Presumptuous, what do you, you little girl know, aren't elemental martial artists afraid of going mad?" the old patriarch will ...... if he is not careful" With a bang, Mu Hongying's face turned pale, and she smashed the tea set in her hand angrily, pointing at Ao Xiaoyu and angrily defending. "Third child, be careful when you speak, is this the attitude of an elder to a junior?" Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was abnormal, Mu Yifan frowned, and said in a deep voice with dissatisfaction.
"So...... Three little friends, are you going to be determined to help Muli, a sinner in the clan, come out? Elder Ben advises you, don't think that if you have a little strength, you just want to show off, it's easy to have an accident!" For a while, the hall of the villa had a heavy atmosphere, and after a long time, the Great Elder Mu Jian slowly put down the tea set in his hand and said in a cold tone. "Hehe, it's not strong, it's just ...... As the most important good friends of each other, and Muli he has been wronged and humiliated by you so much, I have to take care of it in the night world......" Hearing this, the night world smiled fearlessly, and his eyes moved to the Great Elder, just a fierce spark between the eyes of the wooden sword. In an instant, a powerful momentum erupted from the bodies of both of them, and the entire hall was immediately diffused and diffused.
Suddenly, when the two of them looked at each other solemnly, the temperature in the righteous hall instantly turned cold. I felt an invisible sense of coercion erupt from each other's bodies, as if the Yellow River had burst its banks. It can be seen that the competition of super powerhouses above level nine, even if it is only a collision of momentum oppression, should not be underestimated. Gradually, these two coercive momentum suddenly appeared, causing the space to directly roll and twist wildly, and even the other powerhouses in the hall immediately trembled, urging the energy in their bodies to resist.
"Bump. About half a minute later, only a dull loud noise was heard in the hall, and two powerful and majestic breaths were calm. At this point, the teacup in Ye Shi's hand shattered, and a crack was torn on the chair of the Great Elder. It seems that the coercion of the two has not hurt each other, and it seems that Qihu is comparable and comparable......
"In that case, the three of them should do it themselves, Elder Ben still has some things to deal with, so he will leave first. After a little relaxation, the Great Elder's face was extremely ugly, a poisonous glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he whispered a word, and then got up and left the hall. Then, the third elder Mu Hongying was also very knowledgeable, so he casually made an excuse and quickly got up and exited the hall.
"Cow! Night friends are really heroes and boys. At a young age, he actually fought with Mu Jian in the middle and late stages of the ninth level, and it felt like it was evenly divided! Tsk, I can't accept the old haha......" Seeing that Mu Jian and Mu Hongying had left, Mu Yifan walked to the side of Ye Shi, hugged his shoulders vigorously, and laughed loudly and praisefully. "Senior Mu, do you think that when we made such a fuss just now, was Mu Jian angry in his heart?" "Haha, why stop being angry, according to the old man, he should be angry at the moment, and it is estimated that he even has the heart to slap you to death." Mu Yifan replied in the affirmative. "Hey...... That's good, that's what I want now......" Hearing this, the corners of Yeshi's mouth twitched slightly, but Jun's face showed a touch of extreme cunning. With this appearance, even Mu Yifan couldn't help but feel furious when he saw it.
However, at this time, the Great Elder Mu Jian was in his room, his old face was gloomy, and he was wandering around repeatedly with his hands on his back.
"I'm angry with Elder Ben, damn little rabbit cub, dare to fight against me, die, damn ......" "Father, are you looking for me?" "Saihei, have you hidden that Ten Thousand Ant Demon Scatter, and how much is left?" Seeing that his son had just entered the door, Mu Jian couldn't help but ask. "And some, it's no problem to poison five or six people, why father, do you want to use it?" Mu Saiping looked at his old face and replied honestly. "Of course, you come here, listen to me carefully......" Hearing this, a sinister look appeared in Mu Jian's eyes, and he whispered a few words into his son's ear. Immediately, Mu Saiping nodded again and again, and quietly slipped out of the room with a gloomy face.
Time passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon. After the intensive preparations of the villagers, the patriarchal ceremony was finally officially held in the village square at noon. At this moment, all over the village, regardless of men, women and children, with a serious and expectant expression on their faces, all dressed in blue cloth from their own homes, gathered around the village square. Of course, the four people of Yeshi, Ao Xiaoyu, Qinghe, and Muli, who are still sluggish, are also mixed in with this group of people.
"Oo......oo Then, from the stone castle, a group of men and women dressed in animal pattern gold clothes, holding a stone figure covered with golden gauze, walked barefoot step by step to the center of the village square in full view of everyone. They then bowed around the stone sculptures and began a fiery, free-spirited ritual dance. Among them, one of the leading priests, the old man, held up a beast-shaped wooden tripod, knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Our great ancestors are above, and you have forged our guardian herdsmen with your blood and will. At this moment, we swear by our lives and souls to protect our fellow beasts in this world, and may our ancestors bless us with peace and prosperity, and good weather. With the blood of the clansmen and the soul of the beasts, we will accompany the eternal and long-term path to glory and glory......"
"Roar, roar, roar......" When the priest and the old priest finished reading the greetings and slowly stepped forward to lift the golden gauze on the stone carving, all the villagers had a pious look on their faces, and they knelt down towards the central stone sculpture to pay respects. Even outside the mountains around the village, the howls of fierce beasts resounded throughout the mountains at the same time, as if they were also sincere sacrifices, as if all beasts bowed down to their orders......
However, at a glance, this tall portrait is carved with a mighty man, with a slender body and a serious face like a knife and an axe, but it is a handsome and dashing appearance. It is about middle-aged and wields a lifelike dragon-shaped sword. Moreover, it is worth noting that the eyes of this stone carving man are particularly bright, just like a real person. Vaguely, he actually felt an unruly wild aura emanating from it, which made the three of them in the night world can't help but take a few more looks. "Awesome! This stone carver is magnificent and magnificent, presumably, he must have been a peerless super strong man during his lifetime! This, is this the ancestor of the Muli family?"
Filled with curiosity, Ye Shi couldn't help but turn his head and ask: "Senior Mu, the stone statue in the center is your ancestor, it is really domineering and powerful, I don't know the prestige of that ancestor?"
Glancing at the stone carving with deep respect, Mu Yifan said proudly: "Yes, the stone carving is my guardian shepherd family, the first patriarch. The old man will not hide it from you, in fact, my shepherd clan is one of the surviving human descendants left over from the War of the Six Realms millions of years ago, and it is the exclusive vein of the great Night King's exclusive beast master. Since the end of the Great Tribulation of the War of the Six Realms, the ancestor has led our clan to live in seclusion on the continent. And the prestige of his old man ...... Master Beast Master, Lord Makisai!"
Hearing this, Ye Shi's face was stunned, but before he could wake up from his sluggishness, in the Polestar necklace, he suddenly heard Sheng Yan's voice of exclamation and nostalgia.
"Alas, it turned out to be one of the eight heroes of the human race, the little ghost of the beast master Mu Yuzhai, no wonder the old man looked at him so familiarly......"
