Under a huge dead tree, an old woman was sitting cross-legged, closing her eyes and regulating her breath. Around her, there were a lot of pale skulls. These bones were arranged in the shape of a flower, and the old woman was sitting there. In the center of the flower, some pale and strange white air floated out from the bones and continued to seep into the old woman's body.
There was a little sweat on the old woman's face, and she was breathing rapidly, but you could see that her expression was unusually relaxed, and she had a strange look of being nostalgic for this feeling, as if she was experiencing something painful and happy.
"Master!!"
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from behind, followed by a deep voice.
The old witch Jueming slowly opened her sunken old eyes, and her old bark-like face was filled with displeasure. She said in a deep voice: "Zi Du, didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to do this while I am practicing?" Excuse me? Have you forgotten what I said??"
Upon hearing this, the visitor hurriedly clasped his fists: "How dare Zidu forget Master's teachings? It's just that the matter is too urgent, and Zidu has no choice but to disturb Master."
"Huh, tell me, what's the matter?" the old woman said coldly.
"Master, just now a Neishu disciple reported that Junior Brother Xie was killed outside the valley. Only six of the eleven disciples with him have returned. Now the person who killed this disciple may still be there. Taniguchi.”
Mu Zidu said respectfully.
The words fell to the ground, and the old woman's face suddenly became cold.
"What did you say? Who was killed??"
"It's Neishu disciple Xie Bingkun and others." Mu Zidu said: "Because our Jueming Valley has recently sent many disciples out of the valley to do things, but only people came out but no one came in. And for nearly half a month, we haven't collected them yet. Any news reported to the outside world, so the disciple suspected that someone was up to something. Perhaps he deliberately blocked our connection with the outside world, and then sent Xie Bingkun and others to investigate the situation outside the valley. He did not expect that the other party was so rampant. There was an ambush at the entrance of the valley, and Xie Bingkun and his party were attacked by the opponent at the entrance of the valley!"
"How strong is the other party? How many people are there?"
The old woman asked calmly.
"According to the six people who came back, there is only one person on the other side, and he is... very powerful."
"oh?"
The old woman's old yellow eyes suddenly widened, she glanced at Mu Zidu, was silent for a while, waved her hand and said, "Call those six people."
"Yes, Master!"
Mu Zidu went down immediately and summoned the six people.
The six people walked into the old witch's unique training place anxiously. Looking at the old witch sitting in front of the dead tree, the six people hurriedly knelt down respectfully and shouted: "Greetings to the Valley Master."
"Um."
The old witch Jueming nodded, opened his eyes slightly, glanced around the six people, and then asked: "Who is that person? What is his cultivation level? Why do you want to go against me, Jueming Valley? Do you know? ? "
"That man... that man was wearing a hood, we couldn't see his face clearly..."
"And... and... he has a shielding magic weapon on him, and we can't see through it no matter what..."
"What he is doing here, we... we don't quite know..."
Three of the six people said tremblingly.
"Oh?" The old witch opened his eyes completely and asked in a low voice: "Then among the twelve of you, why are six dead and six alive? Why did he let you in?"
"Disciple... I don't know, he just asked the disciples to go back to the valley... Disciple... The disciple came back..." one person said with a trembling voice.
The old witch stared at the man for a while, with a strange light flashing in his dim eyes. Then he turned to look at the others and asked, "Is that so?"
"Is such that."
The others hurriedly said, not daring to hesitate at all.
But the next second, a green light swirled out like an air blade, expanded in all directions, and swallowed up the six Jueming Valley disciples almost instantly, wrapping their bodies tightly, and the green light shone on them. The body stayed on the body for about three breaths, and then dispersed, only to see that the six corpses had turned into six bones and fell to the ground, and even the three souls and seven souls had disappeared without a trace...
"For no reason, why would others let you back? No matter what the reason is, you must die! I will not allow a traitor in the Valley of Death!!"
The old witch Jueming snorted coldly, then stood up suddenly, waved his withered hand, and shouted at Mu Zidu who looked calm beside him: "Zi Du, follow me to the mouth of the valley, someone will come!!"
"Yes, Master!!"
Mu Zidu said hurriedly.
The old witch Jueming moved very quickly, and he jumped out of the withered tree altar and ran towards the outside of Jueming Valley.
She is arrogant. Since the founding of the Jue Ming Gu sect, she has never encountered such a thing. She was blocked by someone, and the other party was only one person. If she didn't know him, where would Jue Ming Gu's face be in the future? go?
When the Jueming Old Witch was rushing out, the eldest disciple Mu Zidu also planned to notify the elites of the Jueming Valley and ask them to support the Jueming Old Witch. However, after being informed by the Jueming Old Witch, he immediately stopped it.
"It's just one person, do you need to go to war? What's more, I don't plan to, you can go later. If you can't deal with it, I will take action, old lady. If you can't deal with me, no matter how many people come, it won't help. .”
The desperate old witch said, but she was more worried about what traps the other party might have. If there were too many people there, it would not be easy to escape. At least for herself, self-protection was enough.
Soon, the old witch, Mu Zidu and several people from Jueming Valley sprang out from the blood formation. The old witch Jueming flew straight into the sky, scanning the outside of the valley with his dim eyes.
However, the scene outside the valley shocked her.
But at some point outside the valley, thousands of people appeared in a dense crowd. These people were divided into small groups and gathered together like a crowd. Each group of people wore a badge behind or on their body that represented their identity. symbols of.
Qingcai Chamber of Commerce.
Dongguang Chamber of Commerce.
Yu Wanxin Auction House.
Red Road Chamber of Commerce…
"These are... people from the Chamber of Commerce??"
The old witch Jueming was slightly startled.
"Old witch, you finally appeared!!"
At this moment, a fat man with a round body walked out from among these people from the Chamber of Commerce. He stared at the old witch, glared angrily, and shouted loudly: "Today, either you die or I die!!"
"What? You want to rebel against me??"
The old witch Jueming turned cold and said solemnly.
"You want to force us to death. If we don't fight against you, how can we survive??"
shouted another president of a small chamber of commerce.
"Pay half of the monthly profit in black coins as tribute every month! You are simply killing us! Jueming Old Witch, since you treat us like this, why don't we stand up and resist you? We are also human beings, aren't we? Fish and meat for you to slaughter!!”
"You devil!"
"We are here today because of you. Old Witch of Death, please wake up!"
"Don't be afraid of this person. Let's unite and fight her!!"
"Why should we be afraid of her?"
The roars continued. These people who had been dealing with commodities and mysterious coins for many years finally found the long-lost pride and self-esteem that spiritual practitioners should have. All of this was revived today.
The roars that kept ringing around made the old witch's cold face freeze. She frowned, and her turbid eyes glanced around, her heart already full of doubts.
From these people's words, she heard something unusual. Pay half of the monthly profit as tribute every month... What does this mean? Is it that each chamber of commerce has to pay a general amount of profit as a tribute to the Valley of Death every month? When had you ever given such an order?
Could it be... that he was framed?
The old witch Jueming snorted secretly, and suddenly understood the cause and effect of the matter.
First, they sent people to spread rumors and used their identity to force all chambers of commerce to release the news, leaving them with no choice but to rise up to resist. Then they used their own means to block communication between the Valley and the outside world, making it impossible for the Valley to obtain information in time. Knowing this, it is even more impossible to clarify the matter in time, making this conflict sublime!
It seems that all this was carefully planned by someone.
"Don't make trouble here. What about 'paying half of the monthly profit as a tribute every month'? I have never issued this order at all. Someone must be deliberately framed me, framed me in the Valley of Death, you should leave now." , the tribute items will still be carried out according to the previous amount, old lady, I will not increase the amount of tribute to you!!"
The old witch Jueming said solemnly.
only.
This sentence was supposed to be a clarification, but it was pushed back by another sentence that suddenly popped up in the crowd...
"Don't believe the old witch Jue Ming. Who is she, the old witch Jue Ming? She is just a despicable and shameless villain. Lies are easy for her to make. If you believe her words today, then what will happen tomorrow?" The desperate old witch will secretly attack everyone and defeat them one by one. If that time comes, it will be too late!!"
After saying this, many people nodded in agreement.
The desperate old witch has a bad reputation. How many people are willing to believe her at this time? What's more, the real reason why everyone is gathering here at this moment is not because of the sudden increase in the amount of tribute. In the final analysis, it is because of the squeeze of the major chambers of commerce in the Valley of Death.
People have had enough and don’t want their hard-earned black coins to fall into the hands of others for no reason. Everyone is eager to solve the troubles in the Valley of Death. Today, more than a hundred chambers of commerce have gathered here. This is a Opportunity, no resistance in the past was as large as today.
Therefore, no one will leave today even if the desperate old witch talks about it.
Because people have made a decision... Today, they vow to destroy the old witch Jue Ming and restore all freedoms! !
Seeing the looks in these people's eyes, Jueming Old Witch's face became even more ugly.
She noticed it, noticed the fighting spirit in these people's eyes...
It was an explosion of long-standing resentment, absolutely terrifying! !
