Chapter 44: The Mysterious Middle-Aged Man
Dilong Palace, in the conference hall.
The spacious hall was brightly lit, and there were rows of big men standing on both sides, each of them was a strong man of the local class, and the momentum was unreservedly emanating from the body, forming a killing aura, and the momentum was so strong that people felt depressed in the brothers.
An old man with a furrow face, his sideburns were slightly white, his thick eyebrows were snow-white, his brows were furrowed, his hands were clenched, and he even made a snapping sound in that oppressive and silent atmosphere, and his chest fell together, extremely quickly, obviously annoyed to the extreme, squinting his eyes slightly, but he couldn't hide a little cold light in the tiger's eyes, which shot straight down. Sitting on the only chair made of pure gold in the hall, his face was full of anger, and he couldn't stop the anger in his heart, and the strength of the innate rank was like a flood that burst the embankment ruthlessly released.
The old man sat on the left and right, each sitting about the middle age of three men and one woman, all four of them are dressed luxuriously, from the point of view of clothing, the status of the four should not be low, the four of them bowed, staggered and sat all kinds of people, it seems, these people are some important people in the family, everyone's faces are invariably angry, and the momentum on the body is also slowly steaming with anger.
Under the influence of the momentum of the people under the old man, the temperature of the entire hall is dropping sharply, which makes people shudder.
A middle-aged woman doesn't seem to have left any traces on her body over the years, and she still has charm, but at this time she is lying on the ground and heartbroken, pear blossoms bring rain, crying and crying, and even fainting after the worst time.
At this time, all the eyes of everyone in the hall converged on the two seven-foot wooden coffins in the center of the hall, and in one of the wooden coffins, there was a corpse lying quietly, no, to be precise, the two halves of the corpse were covered by a white cloth from top to bottom, revealing only a terrifying face that was blue from death. In the other wooden coffin, lying was the body of an old man, and two people kneeling neatly next to the wooden coffin.
The armrests of the chair made of pure gold under the "pop" body were pinched and shattered by the old man, and this crisp sound broke the silence in the field, except for the mighty men standing on both sides, everyone's eyes looked at the old man.
"Who is so bold? ”
The old man's majestic voice made the two people kneeling beside the wooden coffin tremble, and one of them immediately replied: "Hui Hall Master, who it is, my subordinates don't know. ”
"I don't know what to do?" It was clear that the answer of the speaker did not satisfy the old man.
Before the old man could continue to interrogate, another person hurriedly said, "Go back to the hall master, but we found out that the main culprit is surnamed Fan." ”
"What, surname Fan. The old man was obviously stunned.
"Hmph, isn't it that the old man doesn't care about anything, he thinks it's too foolish, Zong'er's strength of the Heavenly Rank, even if the acquired junior good is in the hands of Zong'er, he has to deal with it carefully, and he can't get any cheapness, not to mention that he was both killed under the protection of Elder Sheng Ze's Upper Grade Upper Level. And the surname Fan is just a small family, dare to offend us?"
"The hall master, even if the subordinates eat the ambition leopard guts, they don't dare to deceive, this matter is true, at the door of the Tianyi auction, the main culprit said his surname in person, and many people present heard it and can testify. The person who spoke first hurriedly explained when he saw that the hall master was furious.
"Father, perhaps, the Fan family has endured for many years, and it is not necessary that there are any masters hidden in the snow!" The handsome young man held a feather fan of refined coal, fanned it gently, took a step forward, and said lightly.
Hearing this, Dongfang Chen couldn't help but believe it a little, "Fan family, Fan family", Dongfang Chen silently recited a few times, then Dongfang Chen turned around and returned to the seat, and commanded in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then even if this matter is not done by the Fan family themselves, it is also related to them, Ping'er, you take the blood to kill the guards, and take all the family surnamed Fan, remember, you must leave some living mouth and find out the real murderer." As he spoke, the old man made a decapitation gesture.
"Yes. The handsome young man took the order, and turned to leave, and with him left the big men on both sides, obviously, they were the bloody guards in the old man's mouth.
Nodding, the old man looked at the two kneeling on the ground. The two of them felt trembling in their hearts at the same time, and secretly shouted that they were not good, and they were about to face a catastrophe, as expected, they only heard Dongfang Chen shouting: "Send you to protect the young master, since Zong'er is dead now, it is your poor protection, don't say that I, Dongfang Chen, killed innocents indiscriminately, but you deserve to die." ”
The two of them kept kowtowing, and begged with blood on their foreheads: "The hall master spares his life, the hall master spares his life..."
The old man's gaze turned to the crowd, clean up this place, and you all go down, wave your hands, and let everyone leave
In the depths of the 100,000 mountains, I saw a young man with tattered clothes, lost his sleeves, messy hair and scratches on his arms, drenched in blood, shocking young man, his figure moved slightly, leaving an afterimage on the towering trees, and the vine was lifted, and there was no moment of stop at his feet, and then the rocks in the mountain followed the woods, jumping left and right, and then there was a vaguely visible black spot, and after a while, it disappeared without a trace.
The restlessness of the calm forest due to the sudden appearance of the boy also quieted down here, and after about a few minutes. The brief silence was finally broken again.
"Boom" only felt a shaking of the ground, like an earthquake came so violently, a momentum covering the sky and the sun came from afar, raised a sharp roar, and immediately came into view of a beast like a bat, but with long furry ears, dark all over, with wings somewhat like a duck's beak, limbs like cow's hooves, but the size of a large, about the size of an elephant, called the elephant duck beast, and then the same human nature hesitated there, and from time to time looked back, as if waiting for something. As expected, a puppy like a demon beast galloped after a while, and then successively had a strange shape, only you can't think of it, and the demon beasts that can't grow without it gather here, and the sharp beast roar is deafening.
In the interval, I saw these demon beasts gathered together, and a roar spread throughout the depths of the entire 100,000 mountains, as if the beast roar was discussing, and after about thirty seconds, all the beasts rushed towards the direction where the boy disappeared.
Five minutes later, the demon beasts hesitated again, the ten thousand beasts roared towards the sky, the roar resounded non-stop, the leaves rustled into the sky, and the drifting clouds seemed to be dispersed at that moment, which was simply magnificent.
Before it quickly dispersed, it appeared, only to see a well-dressed, personable middle-aged man flashing in, the hair of this person's sideburns was slightly bald, his eyebrows were thick and black and neat, and his clear and deep eyes shot out two thunderbolts, which made the demon beast involuntarily take three or four steps back.
The middle-aged man gently swept over the strange monsters behind his hands, frowned slightly, and said slowly in an irrefutable tone: "If you want to break the rules, you can't do it, leave quickly, I still don't think this happened." Otherwise, you're welcome to blame. After speaking, the middle-aged man didn't care whether the demon beast could understand it or not, as if he didn't care, he closed his eyes and said nothing.
The monsters looked at each other with a look of horror as if they were human, and then looked at the puppy beasts as if they were asking their leader.
The puppy-like little beast also lived up to expectations, slowly raised its still frightened face, looked at the middle-aged man tremblingly, saw the middle-aged man close his eyes and recuperate, knowing that there was no solution to this matter, so he had to raise his head and roar sadly, expressing the anger in his heart, and leading the beasts to leave helplessly.
The middle-aged man who had been peeping with his divine sense saw that the demon beast finally retreated, and his heart couldn't help but relax, and then an inexplicable thought came to his heart, strange, how could there be other cultivators in the Tianlong Continent, the aura of heaven and earth here is extremely thin, no one wants to come to the town to guard, so he has to sign a decision, and he was unlucky to be drawn after the most, so didn't the master assign me to come to the town alone? Then the middle-aged man showed relief, maybe the master had another decision, anyway, it was none of his business, and then the middle-aged man was like lightning, free and easy.
