Chapter 57: Hostage Exchange

Seeing that everyone's eyes first looked at themselves, and then fell on that Duan Ruling's body, their eyes were almost full of doubts, and they were very puzzled.

The patriarch of the Zhao clan frowned, glanced at Duan Ruling, who was detained by him, and felt annoyed in his heart.

About a day ago, this kid surnamed Duan, the woman in the purple skirt, Xiao Ruxian, and Zhang Peng, who was holding a giant knife, carried an unconscious man on their backs to the west gate of Dusk City, saying that they had something important to ask to see the city lord.

As the patriarch of the Zhao clan, he held the power of guarding the city gate in his hands, so naturally he would not let them into the city easily.

In addition, his true identity is actually the internal response that the Cold Ice Pavilion has been planted in Dusk City for hundreds of years, and at this time, it is at the critical moment when the Cold Ice Pavilion and the unborn Southern Demon Beast Clan join forces to seize Dusk City, and it is impossible to let people into the city casually.

However, he had to let them in, because the person behind the kid surnamed Duan was his son Zhao Hong.

After the three people entered the city, they showed that they were from the Qiankun Palace, and they had something important to tell the city lord about this trip.

After he sent someone to guide Zhang Peng and Xiao Ruxian to the City Lord's Mansion, he changed his identity as the patriarch of the Zhao clan and warmly entertained Duan Ruling, who rescued his son from the black-clothed bat.

But during the banquet, he secretly drugged and put down Duan Ruling, just in case, so as to leave a way back for himself.

Sure enough, as he expected, the original plan of the Cold Ice Pavilion to invade Dusk City was suddenly disrupted by the Xuanxi Demon Monk who was ordered by the mad god.

Not only did he lose the only place to open the second undead ancient array, the city of dusk, but also let the dark demon monk kill millions of innocent people in the city, set up an undead blood array, and summoned the second ancient beast, the Nine Ghost Blood Snake.

Later, the fierce beast went berserk and poisoned hundreds of monks in an instant, but fortunately, the person behind the control of this earth-shattering change, the greedy wolf star king, suddenly appeared, and joined forces with the girl in the green dress to perform a secret technique, and only then did he subdue the mad Nine Ghost Blood Snake.

It's just that the demon of the blood baby saw that the general trend was gone, and there was no need to stay any longer, so he beckoned the surviving Cold Ice Pavilion evil men to leave in a hurry, but he forgot his Zhao clan in Dusk City.

Before his identity is revealed, he doesn't care, he just continues to lurk among the righteous monks through this identity.

But now, not only did the Zhao clan escape, but the rest of the Zhao clan were all buried under the clutches of the demon monk, and the bones were gone, turning into a pool of blood.

Even his own identity has been exposed, and at this time, above this purgatory blood sea, at least dozens of people know that they are the inner response of the Cold Ice Pavilion to enter the Dusk City.

In order to be able to get out safely, he didn't care about resettle those Zhao clansmen who were lucky enough to escape from this catastrophe, so he only took his son and grabbed Duan Ruling of this Qiankun Palace as a hostage, wanting to retreat with his whole body.

However, he never expected that most of these righteous monks who survived had never seen this kid of Xinduan, and he probably didn't know that he was from the Qiankun Palace, one of the three major factions of the Justice League.

I'm afraid that taking this kid as a hostage now won't help much, which makes him chagrined.

He really couldn't figure out how the original seamless plan had become what it was now?

What now?

He was anxious in his heart, thinking about countermeasures, but a few of the righteous monks suddenly shouted:

"He is the cult Cold Ice Pavilion planted in Dusk City, and he can't be let go!"

"Yes, you must not let him go, even if he has a hostage in his hands, you must kill him to avenge the people of the city!"

"Revenge, revenge ......"

"Kill him, kill him......"

The people in the air suddenly became excited, and they began to sacrifice magic weapons.

After such a painful fight, they urgently need a way to resolve the grief and anger in their hearts, and the only thing that can calm their minds at this moment is revenge.

Thoughts of revenge filled their brains, and these monks who claimed to be righteous had almost lost their minds, and their eyes had become red, as if they were stained with blood, and as if those eyes were made of blood.

The aura emanating from their bodies was even thicker than that emanating from the sea of purgatory blood under their feet, and those eyes full of hatred shot an unusually fierce gaze, like hungry wolves that had been empty for many days but suddenly saw their prey.

The patriarch of the Zhao clan was faintly sweating on his forehead, and his heart was even more anxious, Rao is not low, but he did not have the slightest certainty of escaping in front of this group of hungry wolves.

Zhao Hong, who was beside him, suddenly pointed to the few men who had incited the monks just now, and exclaimed, "Dad, it was the second uncle who spoke just now, and there are other clansmen. ”

The patriarch of the Zhao clan looked in the direction that Zhao Hong pointed and found that, as he said, the few leaders who had incited the surviving monks just now were his own second brother and the survivors of the clan.

The patriarch of the Zhao clan jumped like thunder and scolded angrily: "These ungrateful things, they don't give them less benefits on weekdays, and now it's time for them to repay their kindness, but they not only don't help, but they fall into the ground, if the old man can survive this catastrophe, he will definitely break them into pieces!"

As he spoke, his face became more and more ugly and pale as the distance gradually narrowed to the people who besieged him.

In mid-air, the light of thousands of magic weapons continued to flash rapidly, and seeing that the situation in the field was about to get out of control, Ding Xifeng, who had been quietly watching the situation, suddenly flashed in front of the patriarch of the Zhao clan and looked at Duan Ruling, who was controlled by him in his hand.

After seeing the pattern of five mountain peaks printed on the chest of this kid in the letter paragraph, he couldn't help frowning, and his eyes glanced at the man and two women who were guarding in front of Mo Ran.

Although the two men and women were dressed in different colors and costumes, they had the same pattern printed on their chests - Wufeng Mountain.

They are the people of the Qiankun Hall of Wufeng Mountain, one of the three major factions of the Justice Alliance, but they are the mainstays of the Righteous Path cultivation sect.

If that Ruling was really killed by these irrational people like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the people of Wufeng Mountain to ask about it in the future, and it will be difficult to explain it, let alone clear up the relationship.

Immediately, Ding Xifeng flew to stop a group of monks who had lost their minds, and amplified their voices several times before everyone quieted down.

"I know that at this moment you are full of grief and indignation, and that you have lost relatives, friends, and loved ones in this catastrophe, but do you know why this catastrophe came about?

There was a dead silence in the air, save for the whistling sound of the wind blowing, like a devil crying.

Glancing at everyone, Ding Xifeng said in a deep voice: "This Zhao clan has stood in my Dusk City for hundreds of years, and it is really the first force in the city, and the patriarch of the Zhao clan holds the power of the guards of the whole city, and even they are the internal response of the people in the cult who have been planted in this Dusk City, and it can be seen that the catastrophe suffered by Dusk City today will appear sooner or later." ”

After a slight pause, his words changed, and he suddenly pointed to Duan Ruling, who was controlled by the patriarch of the Zhao clan, and said with a majestic face: "The young man in his hands at this moment is the disciple of the Qiankun Palace, one of the three major factions of the Justice Alliance, if we disregard our safety today, let this disciple from the Qiankun Hall die here, I am afraid that in the future, the Qiankun Hall will investigate it, and we will not be able to escape from it!"

This sentence seemed to wake up the crowd in the audience, and the originally imposing righteous path monk gradually withdrew the shining magic weapon in his hand, and only glared angrily at the patriarch of the Zhao clan.

Ding Xifeng nodded with great satisfaction, and suddenly said to the patriarch of the Zhao clan: "Say, how can you be willing to let go of this Qiankun Hall disciple?"

But now it seems that when the people in the audience heard the words of the white-bearded old man Ding Xifeng, they didn't seem to dare to turn a blind eye to this Duan Ruling from the Qiankun Palace, and disregard his life and death.

The patriarch of the Zhao clan was overjoyed in his heart, and he had a wishful thinking.

At this moment, even if he retreats safely from this twilight blood city, the cult Cold Ice Pavilion will not be able to go back in the future, it is better to simply take this kid surnamed Duan as a hostage, rescue the murderous demon monk, and join him under the command of the greedy wolf star monarch, and maybe be qualified to enter the "Secret Realm" in the future!

Thinking of this, the patriarch of the Zhao clan cleared his throat and said: "Today, there are many bloody battles, and the old man doesn't want to cause trouble again, the old man only wants to leave safely with the dog, but ...... You also have to release this Xuanse master, if you agree, the old man will hand over the young man of this Qiankun Hall to you, otherwise, even if he is buried here, the old man will kill the young man of this Qiankun Hall first, and see how the people of Wufeng Mountain will investigate it in the future, how you will explain. ”

"What?"

The monks in the air frowned, all of them were angry, they couldn't stop shaking their heads, and even some monks directly shouted that they resolutely couldn't agree to let go of this heinous demon monk.

It's just that, after all, they are not deeply involved in the world and can't consider the overall situation.

Ding Xifeng's face changed slightly, half loud, and he responded loudly: "Deal, you can take this demon monk away, but if you don't keep your promise, don't blame us for being polite!"

When the patriarch of the Zhao clan heard that the elder who had been guarding this Dusk City for hundreds of years actually agreed to his request, a smile finally appeared on his tense face, and he said happily: "I must keep my promise!"

As soon as his words fell, Ding Xifeng signaled to the righteous monks who were besieging the Xuanxi Demon Monk, and made way for the Xuanxi Demon Monk.

In this battle, everyone peeked at each other, and finally dispersed the area.

At this moment, in Dusk City, the city lord had already turned against him, and the largest Zhao clan in the city was a cult internal response, so these five elders who had been stationed in Dusk City for many years had become the most powerful people to speak, and the surviving righteous monks also obeyed his arrangement.

Under the gaze of one after another angry eyes, Master Xuanse hurriedly left the circle formed by everyone and stood with the patriarch of the Zhao clan.

Suddenly, the patriarch of the Zhao clan threw Duan Ruling, who was pledged in his hand, into the air, and without waiting for everyone to react, he, his son Zhao Hong, and the Xuanxi demon monk turned into three rays of light and quickly fled in the direction of the east.

The burly Zhang Peng suddenly flew up and steadily caught Duan Ruling, who was abandoned by the patriarch of the Zhao clan.

When his figure fell, all the surviving righteous path monks in the field glared angrily at Mo Ran, who was surrounded by four people, as if they had a blood feud with him.
