Volume 1 Stormy Smoke City Chapter 33 The Eve of the Great War
The ancestral home of the Qin family.
Qin Yanghao, the head of the Qin family, sat at the top, and the elders and deacons of various branches of the Qin family were sitting below, all the real power figures of the Qin family were here, everyone's faces were solemn, there was an unsolvable sorrow between their eyebrows, and the atmosphere in the room was very depressing.
"Family master, twelve of the fifteen towns of my Qin family have been breached, and only the three towns of Shibao, Tunyi, and Ningfu are still in our hands, but they have also been besieged for a long time, I am afraid that they will not be able to defend for long, and the three towns will be lost, and then there will really be no place for my Qin family to stand in this smoke city!" an old man in black stood up and said.
"Hmph! These three towns are the territory of the Qin family that the Immortal Dynasty has given me, I want to see which one who eats the heart of a bear and the leopard dares to attack!" A big man with a naked shirt and a leopard head and ringed eyes suddenly stood up, full of murderous aura, "The law of the Immortal Dynasty, the one who is good at attacking the back cover of the family, die!"
The white-clothed middle-aged man beside Dahan shook his head, "Elder Feng, you have been in charge of the Discipline Hall for many years, and you still don't understand that this law is just a piece of paper? Otherwise, the Three Towns have been besieged for so long, why hasn't there been any movement in Ruyan City?"
"It's just that Elder Feng is still too naΓ―ve. β
"We can only rely on ourselves!"
Everyone was talking about it, and the scene suddenly became chaotic, Qin Yanghao frowned, raised his hand, and the room suddenly fell silent.
The former first family of Ruyancheng has been forced to the point of exhaustion, not only a large area of territory has been occupied, but even the most important spiritual stone mine has been occupied by the Wu family, and if no measures are taken, the Qin family may really be swept into the dust of history.
"What a panic!" Qin Yanghao shouted angrily, everyone immediately lowered their heads, they had been in charge of the Qin family for many years, and no one dared to anger his majesty, "A few local chickens and dogs will scare you like this, how can the background of my Qin family be able to compete with these ghosts!"
"Do you think that my Qin family has lost so much territory, is it really not strong?" Qin Yanghao said in a low voice, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
Everyone was stunned.
Qin Feng was stunned and said, "Isn't it?"
Qin Yanghao chuckled and said, "If you take it in advance, you must deal with it first! Without the temptation of these territories, how can those families be willing to take out all their belongings?" When all their monks have gathered...... Qin Yanghao said coldly, "It's their death time!"
Everyone had different expressions, some were shocked, some were puzzled, some were thoughtful, and some of them had already reacted, and the middle-aged man in white asked, "What does the head of the family mean...... Could it be the old ancestor?"
Qin Yanghao smiled, "I'll give you a reassuring pill today, I have told the old ancestor that the old ancestor will come out at the critical moment, no matter how many people he has in the seven major families, the killing will also be a turnover...... But you, don't mess with yourself during this time!"
"Haha! The old ancestor is really alive!"
"The Qin family will win!"
Everyone was overjoyed, the previous gloom was swept away, and with the ancestor of the Jindan Realm in charge, the Qin family was invincible!
......
Tieqiong Mountain.
It has been five days since Xiaohuo crossed the tribulation, and in five days, Xiaohuo has completely stabilized his cultivation in the early stage of the Jindan Realm, and the second fox tail has also been completely condensed, and the nine-tailed fox clan is said to have nine lives, each tail represents a life, and as Xiaohuo breaks through to the Jindan Realm, the inheritance of the nine-tailed fox clan begins to appear.
The nine-tailed fox clan has 'Tu Shan' as their surname, and Xiao Huo has given himself a name - Tu Huo.
On this day, Chen Yunfeng and Tu Huo were cultivating in the main hall, when suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from outside.
A guard walked into the main hall, knelt down on one knee and said, "The Lord of the Enlightened Mountain, such as the Lord of the Smoke City, sent an envoy to ask for a meeting!"
The mountain lord is the name of Chen Yunfeng, the mountain lord of Tieqiong Mountain - the son of chasing clouds!
"Ruyan City Lord?" Chen Yunfeng was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off, "Invite him to rest in the side hall, and I'll come later." β
"The subordinates obeyed. The guards immediately retired.
Chen Yunfeng held his chin in his hand and thought secretly, "What is the city lord looking for me? Do you know that Xiaohuo has broken through the Jindan Realm? But shouldn't the news be so fast?"
Seeing Chen Yunfeng frowning and thinking, Tu Huo said, "Big brother, do you need me to go with you?"
Chen Yunfeng shook his head, "No, let's see what this city lord wants." With that, he got up and walked towards the side hall, "Come on, go and invite Chief Wu over." β
Wu Yu has been immersed in the Wu family for many years, and he knows these tricks best.
Inside the side hall.
A purple-robed man sat opposite Chen Yunfeng.
"I have admired the name of the Cloud Chasing Boy for a long time, he is so young, he is really a hero and a young man!" The purple-robed man smiled, his eyes were full of appreciation, he didn't pay attention to this 'Cloud Chasing Prince', but he never thought that this person was only in his twenties, as the right-hand man of the city lord, 'Shen Yuan' suddenly had the intention of wooing.
Shen Yuan went out of the city this time, mainly to personally investigate the battle situation of several major families, and came to Tieqiongshan just by the way, but he didn't expect to be surprised by him to find a piece of jade.
"I don't dare to be an adult to praise me like this. Chen Yunfeng raised his hand to return the salute and said indifferently, "Chasing clouds is just a casual cultivation, the heroes of the world are like crossing the river, and the cultivation of chasing clouds is not worth mentioning in their eyes." β
"Haha, the son is so young, he must have a bright future!" Shen Yuan smiled slightly, changed the topic, just leave a good impression when they meet for the first time, how to win this person back and tell the master, "This official came this time to be rewarded by the city lord in the name of the city lord." β
"Reward?" Chen Yunfeng wondered, he and this city lord are not related, why did he reward himself for no reason?
"Alas......" Shen Yuan sighed, "Several major families fight each other for interests, but the people of the city are as miserable as smoke, displaced, the people are not happy, the city lord is anxious in his eyes, but his own strength is low, he can only protect the people in the city, but the people outside the city are beyond the reach of the whip." However......" Shen Yuan saluted Chen Yunfeng slightly, "Thanks to Gongzi's righteous action to protect hundreds of thousands of people near Tieqiong Mountain, the city lord felt Gongzi's righteousness and decided to divide the left side of Tieqiong Mountain and the former Chen family's territory to Gongzi, and from then on, Gongzi's family can open a mansion and build a tooth in Ruyan City, which will last for thousands of generations!"
"Tieqiong Mountain, Chen Family Territory, give me a seal?" Chen Yunfeng was shocked, this is a big gift!
According to the law of the Qinghe Immortal Dynasty, it is the right of the city lord to divide the territory, but this division is not what the city lord wants to divide, and the person who receives the title must have great merit, and ...... The city lord divides the territory, and generally only divides it to his cronies, so as to facilitate his own management, and there are very few people like Chen Yunfeng who are feudal!
"My lord, if you don't have merit, you won't dare to accept it!" Chen Yunfeng even excused himself.
Shen Yuan stretched out his hand to hold Chen Yunfeng, his eyes stared at him and said, "Childe, don't shirk, you shelter hundreds of thousands of people, this is a great merit! The city lord cherishes the son's great talent, and the son should not live up to the city lord's good intentions." β
After saying that, Shen Yuan glanced at Chen Yunfeng with deep meaning.
Wu Yu also persuaded on the side, "City Lord Ende, the prince still accepts it." β
Chen Yunfeng was silent for a moment, looked up at Shen Yuan, and said with blazing eyes: "That is the case, Chaiyun accepted it with shame." Please also convey your gratitude to the lord of the castle!"
"Haha! Childe rest assured. Shen Yuan smiled, "It's here, Shen will leave!"
Ignoring Chen Yunfeng's retention, he turned around and left.
Sending Shen Yuan to the bottom of the mountain, looking at his departing back, Chen Yunfeng said indifferently: "Chief Wu, what does the city lord mean by this?"
Wu Wei smiled slightly, "Son, you can rest assured, this matter is beneficial and harmless! The territory is full of fires, and the city lord's face is not good-looking, if it is expected to be good, the city lord must be dissatisfied with the actions of several major families, as for rewarding the prince, it is just a coincidence that he wants to support a new force." β
Chen Yunfeng nodded, he already had a grudge against several major families, since the Lord of Ruyan City wanted to set him up as a target, he accepted it along the way.
"I didn't expect my Chen family's territory to go around and go back to my hands!" Chen Yunfeng grinned, his father must be very happy to know the news!
......
Wu family.
Several major families pushed the cup to change the lamp, and several successive victories greatly stimulated their nerves, such as ninety percent of Yancheng was taken by them, and the Qin family was completely surrounded in three small towns, just waiting for them to gather together, they could completely flatten the Qin family.
"Haha, Brother Lu, I'll toast you!"
"Master Sun, you and my brother want to have a drink, and we will take care of it in the future!"
"Brother Zheng, come, have a drink. β
The hall was so lively, the atmosphere was getting more and more enthusiastic, no one noticed the owner of this place, Wu Ye, the head of the Wu family, had quietly left the banquet.
"Haven't you found it yet?" Wu Ye's eyes were red, exuding a bloodthirsty glow.
There were two yellow-armored generals kneeling in the room, one of the generals bowed over, did not dare to look directly at Wu Ye, and said tremblingly: "My subordinates have searched all over Ruyan City, but I haven't found any clues about Kui Xiang's predecessors." β
"Waste! Waste!" Wu Ye roared loudly, picked up the tea cup in his hand and smashed it sharply at the Huangjia general, with a 'snap', the tea cup was smashed and shattered, and a blood line flowed out of the Huangjia general's forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it, let the blood flow on his face, and his head was lower.
Wu Ye's face was flushed, his shoulders were trembling, it seemed to be anger, but he was actually afraid!
Seeing that the decisive battle with the Qin family was coming, he couldn't hold back any longer, and came to Lingzhuyuan, where Kuixiang's predecessors were retreating, and wanted to report to his seniors, but he was horrified to find that this place was already empty, not only Kuixiang's predecessors disappeared, but even his two daughters were nowhere to be seen.
He doesn't care about the life or death of his two daughters, but Kuixiang's predecessors are gone, and this is going to die!
They and the Qin family have completely torn their faces, and there is no room for maneuver, either you die or I die. At this juncture, the powerhouse of his own Jindan Realm suddenly disappeared, which was doomed to a situation of defeat! As the vanguard of the fight against the Qin family, the Qin family wanted to retaliate, and Wu Ye was naturally the first to bear the brunt, not only him, but the entire Wu family had to accompany him to the funeral!
"It's over, it's over!" Wu Ye sat slumped on the chair, his eyes blank, "The Wu family is finished!"
"Damn the Qin family! Damn Kui Xiang!" Wu Ye choked silently, and after a while, he raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, "The Wu family can't die!"
Wu Ye roared in a low voice, his eyes exuding an earth-shattering aura.
"The Wu family can't die!"
"The Lu family, the Sun family...... Six families, you will die for the Wu family!"
