"team leader?"
Zhu Wei and the city lord were both stunned.
Isn’t the captain Lord Lengyue
How could it become someone else
Zhu Wei was puzzled and asked: "City Lord, what's going on?"
The city lord frowned and said, "Lady Leng Yue asked you to find the captain, which means that neither she nor Lord You Mo is the captain. Then who is this captain?"
"Could it be..."
Zhu Wei suddenly seemed to think of something, his eyes full of disbelief!
With this reminder, the city lord also thought of someone.
Masked man!
The two looked at each other, the expressions on their faces were like turning pages of a book, and finally replaced by deep shock!
Yes, it’s this masked man!
The masked man has never shown up since arriving in the holy city. This is obviously unreasonable!
You know, if the masked man was really a follower, he would definitely follow the two adults all the time, but he didn't.
Take this time for example, the two adults were so busy that they didn't even ask the masked man to go and help, but instead asked people from the City Lord's Mansion to go and assist. What does this mean
This means that the masked man’s status is higher than the two adults, and the two adults have no right to order him around!
Thinking of this, the city lord and the other man couldn't help but smile bitterly.
They never expected that this masked man who was underestimated and ignored by them was the real person in power!
The city lord said bitterly: "Zhu Wei, I'm so sorry, I miscalculated this time."
"It's not your fault, City Lord. It's my fault. I had already noticed the masked man's unusualness when we first met, but in the end..."
Having said this, he really couldn't continue. He felt extremely bitter and regretful.
In fact, this matter was indeed the city lord's fault. If the city lord had not given him repeated assurances, how could he have underestimated the masked man
But even if the city lord was wrong, he did not dare to blame him. After all, the Holy City belonged to the city lord. If they offended the city lord, it would be extremely difficult for the Zhu family to gain a foothold in the Holy City in the future.
What's more, this matter requires the help of the city lord.
Zhu Wei stood up, cupped his hands and pleaded, "City Lord, no matter what, you have to help me this time."
The city lord said, "Hasn't your daughter already entered the temple? Why don't you ask her to come and help plead for you? For the sake of our fellow disciples, I believe that masked man might give your son a chance."
Zhu Wei said: "I have asked the servant to inform Yan'er, but Yan'er is currently in Fenghun City and is busy with official duties. I am afraid that she will not be able to return to the Holy City in a short time."
The city lord was puzzled: "Didn't she go directly to the temple? Why did she go to the Soul Sealing City?"
"I heard from Yan'er that she accidentally offended a big shot in the Holy Temple and was banished to the Soul Sealing City for training by the Third Palace Master."
At this point, Zhu Wei could not help but sigh deeply: "Alas, I thought that after Yan'er entered the Holy Temple, my Zhu family would be able to prosper from now on, but unexpectedly, Yan'er was exiled and Feng'er was ridiculed. My Zhu family is really in trouble!"
The city lord warned, "Don't worry. Solutions are invented by people. I'll go and get busy first. You stay here and think about it carefully. Don't be impulsive. Once you have a perfect plan, go meet the masked man again."
Zhu Wei said: "I understand. I won't act rashly."
The city lord nodded and strode away, leaving Zhu Wei alone in deep thought.
Somewhere, the same scene is happening!
But the difference is that Zhu Wei only kneeled for a short while, but in this place, there was a person who knelt for a long time and could not get up.
This person is the leader of the Holy Soul Clan!
He knelt in front of a palace, silent, but with tears streaming down his face and his eyes full of pleading.
On the ground in front of the Holy Soul Patriarch, a young man was lying flat. His eyes were closed, and his face and lips were extremely pale, without a trace of blood. He was Chen Qingsong, whose divinity was shattered by Wutan.
The palace in front of the father and son is the residence of the patriarch of the Tiandu War Clan!
Five years ago, the Holy Soul clan leader brought Chen Qingsong to the Tiandu War Clan, but after learning of his purpose, the Tiandu clan leader immediately sent people to kick him out.
This is the only life-saving straw, how can the Saint Soul Patriarch just leave like this
So, he held his son in his arms, knelt every three steps, and walked towards the residence of the Tiandu chief. He wanted to impress the Tiandu chief with his sincerity.
And throughout the whole process, he did not use any divine power to protect himself. His knees were so worn out that his bones could be seen. He walked and knelt all the way, and his whole path was stained red with blood!
The members of the Tiandu War Clan originally planned to drive him away by force, but after seeing this scene, they couldn't bear it. No matter what, the Shenghun War Clan was also a branch of the Tiandu War Clan, so everyone chose to turn a blind eye and let him go.
It took half a month for the Holy Soul tribe leader, holding his son, to finally arrive in front of the Tiandu tribe leader's palace, and then he knelt down there!
In other words, he has been kneeling for five years!
In order to save Chen Qingsong, he completely put aside his pride and tried his best.
But in the past five years, the chief of Tiandu tribe has not shown up once, as if he had no idea that there was a person kneeling outside and could not get up!
However, on this day, the tightly closed door of the palace finally opened slowly, and a middle-aged man in a purple and gold robe strode out of the palace, stood on the steps in front of the Holy Soul Clan leader, and looked down at the father and son.
Upon seeing this, the Holy Soul clan leader immediately kowtowed and begged: "Clan leader, please save Qingsong for the sake of our common bloodline!"
The Tiandu clan leader said: "Although the Holy Soul War Clan is a branch, I have always treated you as my own family and sent you a large amount of training resources every year. But what about you? When I asked Chen Qingsong to join the Tiandu War Clan, you said you were unwilling to do so."
The Tiandu clan leader changed the subject and sneered, "Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You just want to rely on Chen Qingsong, set up your own sect, and break away from the fate of the branch. For a heartless and ambitious person like you, will I lend a helping hand?"
"but… "
At this point, the Tiandu clan leader hesitated.
The Holy Soul clan leader hurriedly said, "Clan leader, please speak frankly. As long as Qingsong can be saved, I am willing to do anything."
"That's what you said."
The Tiandu clan leader raised his lips slightly and said, "Hundreds of years ago, I accompanied the Holy Lord to the heaven to snatch the godhood and body of the ancient war god. Afterwards, I was fortunate to get a petal of the fairy flower from Master Xuanyuan Ao, which saved Chen Qingsong's life. But from today on, Chen Qingsong is a member of my Tiandu War Clan and has nothing to do with your Shenghun War Clan. Moreover, both you and your son must sign a master-servant contract with me!"
"Master-Servant Contract!"
The Holy Soul Clan leader's expression suddenly changed!
Once the master-servant contract is signed, it means that you will have to work for the Tiandu War Clan for the rest of your life. The desire to break away from the branch and trample the Tiandu War Clan underfoot will become a distant dream!
But if they don't agree, Qingsong will die. Once Qingsong dies, the Holy Soul War Clan will have no chance of turning things around!
After careful consideration, the Holy Soul Clan leader finally decided to agree.
Because only by surviving can you have a chance!
But when you die, everything is gone!
The Holy Soul Clan leader nodded and said, "I agree!"
The Tiandu clan leader said, "Follow me in. It just so happens that the temple is recruiting judges right now. After Qingsong wakes up, we will go directly to participate in the election."
"yes!"
The Holy Soul clan leader responded respectfully and then got up from the ground, but he stumbled and fell to the ground again!
After kneeling for five consecutive years, his legs had already become numb!
"Now you know what it feels like to suffer the consequences of your own actions? If you had agreed to my request earlier, none of this would have happened."
The Tiandu clan leader sneered, waved his hand, picked up the Shenghun clan leader and his son, and strode into the palace. With a clang, the palace door closed quickly.
Let’s talk about Zhu Wei!
In the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion, he thought about it over and over again but couldn't come up with a good idea, so he decided to go home first.
But just as he walked out of the door, a woman in red came towards him.
Seeing this girl, Zhu Wei was overjoyed. He hurriedly walked up to her and asked, "Yan'er, how did you get back so quickly?"
The red-dressed woman said in a deep voice, "My little brother is in trouble. How can I not be anxious? After receiving the message, I immediately put down the things in my hands, used the portal, and rushed directly back to the Holy City. Father, how is my little brother doing?"
"I'm not optimistic. It's all my father's fault. I had to be smart and give gifts." Zhu Wei blamed himself.
The red-dressed woman smiled and said, "Father, you lost your composure because you were too concerned about my future. Don't blame yourself. I am a member of the Temple now. I believe that the people who come to recruit judges will give me a chance after seeing me."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Zhu Wei smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman in red said, "My brother's business is my business. Come on, take me to see the captain."
"good."
Zhu Wei hurriedly led the way.
After a while, the father and daughter arrived at the villa where Wutan was.
The woman in red bowed and said, "I am Zhu Yan from the Resource Hall and I am here to visit you. I hope the elder brother from the Judgment Hall will come out to see me."
"Zhu Yan?"
On the third floor, Wutan was slightly stunned. Why did this name sound familiar
He stood up, walked to the window and looked down.
Immediately, the corners of his mouth rose slightly!
I didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence in the world.
It turned out that this Zhu Yan was the woman who had made things difficult for him in the Resources Palace. In the end, because of him, she was banished to the secular world for training by the Third Palace Master.
Judging from the current situation, this Zhu Yan should be Zhu Wei's daughter. In this case, the purpose of Zhu Yan's coming is very obvious, she is here to plead for her family.
Seeing that there was no response, Zhu Yan frowned, a little impatient and obviously dissatisfied, and said, "Zhu Yan from the Resources Hall is here to visit, please come out and see me."
Still no response.
Zhu Yan completely lost his patience and sneered, "I want to see who is so arrogant."
She pushed the gate open and walked in without being invited.
But at this moment, a cold voice came from the attic: "It seems that sending you to the secular world for training still hasn't taught you a lesson."
"This sound..."
Zhu Yan's body stiffened and she looked up towards the third floor of the attic.
In sight, a masked man in a white robe slowly walked onto the terrace of the attic.
"It's you!"
When she saw Wutan, she was so scared that she fell to her knees, and her face turned pale!
I never expected that the captain who came to recruit the judges this time would be this vicious man!
