In front of the Nie family door, the Nie family members headed by Nie Beichuan looked at Nie Donghai and his daughter with different expressions.
Nie Beichuan's face was cold and his eyes were expressionless. The clan elder Nie Feiyun had a sneer on his lips, as if he was secretly happy.
The eyes of some other clan elders were a little complicated, and they seemed to feel guilty, but no one said anything to stop them.
More tribesmen, knowing that Nie Donghai and his daughter were going to Lingyun Sect to plead guilty, spontaneously came to see them off. They looked at Nie Donghai and his daughter with some resentment and helplessness in their eyes.
Nie Donghai, who knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, behaved quite calmly and did not argue with Nie Beichuan and others in front of many clan members.
"Donghai, don't worry too much about this Lingyun Sect trip." Nie Yaozu, the eldest clan elder, pondered for a moment in front of the door and said: "Over the years, you have done your best for the Lingyun Sect. … They may not dig into it.”
Nie Yaozu felt that the inexplicable disappearance of all the fire cloud stones in the mine was probably just an accident and had nothing to do with Nie Qian.
But now that things have happened, the Nie family must give an explanation to the Lingyun Sect. Nie Donghai is no longer the head of the Nie family. In addition, he was seriously injured by the Yuan family and the Yun family. He will no longer be able to help the Nie family in the future. He also thinks it is more appropriate to let him take on this responsibility.
But in his heart, he still felt a little sorry for Nie Donghai and his daughter, so he said a few words of comfort.
"I understand." Nie Donghai nodded lightly and said: "I will go to Lingyun Sect to plead guilty. But Nie Tian is still young. If I am punished by Lingyun Sect and cannot return to the Nie family, I hope you will remember my actions today. , help me take good care of Nie Tian."
"Don't worry about this." Nie Yaozu promised.
Nie Donghai said no more, turned around, and was about to take Nie Xian to Lingyun Sect.
"Grandpa!"
At this moment, Nie Tian shouted and ran out of the clan.
Under the watchful eyes of many tribesmen, he rushed in front of Nie Donghai and Nie Qian, blocked them, and shouted: "I am responsible for the disappearance of the fire cloud stone in the mine. I will go to Lingyun Sect to apologize!"
"Xiaotian! What are you talking about? Go back quickly!" Nie Qian said urgently.
Nie Donghai glared at him and shouted: "I didn't go to see you before I left. I just didn't want you to be distracted. Don't be so ignorant!"
Nie Tian did not back down from their scolding. He stood up straight, raised his head and said to Nie Beichuan: "Master, my grandfather is old and cannot bear the anger of Lingyun Sect. Moreover, when the mine collapsed, I happened to be Be present. If the family really needs to find a scapegoat, then let me go!"
"Presumptuous!" Nie Beichuan snorted coldly, "What do you mean by finding a scapegoat? You and Nie Qian were both there when the mine changed. But why do you think that you were responsible for the change? What is your identity? , how old are you? Wouldn’t handing you over to Lingyun Sect bring shame to the family? Make Lingyun Sect think this is child’s play?”
"Nie Tian! Stop messing around, this is not the place you should be!"
"Yes! Giving a child to Lingyun Sect is simply a joke!"
"Why don't you retreat quickly!"
Several clan elders also agreed with Nie Beichuan and shouted harshly.
They finally convinced Nie Donghai and his daughter to go to Lingyun Sect to take the blame. How could they be destroyed by Nie Tian
In their opinion, Nie Tian's words were completely nonsense.
Only Nie Tian knew in his heart that the changes that occurred in the mine were indeed caused by him.
He could not explain to everyone that the disappearing fire cloud stones were all drained of the power of fire by the animal bones and turned into mortal stones.
But he couldn't just watch his grandfather and aunt because he went to Lingyun Sect to plead guilty and bear the wrath of Lingyun Sect.
"Nie Qiu! Capture Nie Tian back, don't let people laugh at our Nie family!" Nie Donghai's third brother Nie Nanshan glared and ordered his son to quickly bring Nie Tian back to the family.
At this time, many people from Black Cloud City heard the quarrel in front of Nie's house and gathered quietly.
In front of Nie's house, within a short time, more than a dozen people had gathered around him.
"Nie Tian! Go back!" Nie Donghai said sternly.
"No!" Nie Tian shook his head and shouted: "I will go to Lingyun Sect myself to plead guilty!"
After saying that, before Nie Qiu could come over, he suddenly walked out.
"Nie Tian! What are you doing? I came all the way from Lingbao Pavilion to find you, and you won't just ignore me without giving me some hospitality, right?"
At this moment, Pan Tao's shouts came from behind the crowd.
Nie Tian paused and looked towards the place where the sound came from with a puzzled look on his face, searching for Pan Tao.
"Get out of my way!" A loud shout came from the crowd.
"The master of the An family, An Rong!"
"He is actually the master of the An family!"
The people gathered here suddenly started making a lot of noise. Where Pan Tao's shouts came from, many people took the initiative to disperse and made way for a smooth road.
Immediately, Nie Tian saw Pan Tao and a middle-aged man who looked similar to him, accompanied by An Rong, the head of the An family, walking slowly and leisurely.
An Rong of the An family is about sixty years old. He is tall and tall with a long beard. He has a cold face and is not angry or intimidating.
Many people from Black Cloud City nearby, after taking the initiative to leave, bowed slightly and said hello with a smile.
"I've met Mr. An."
"Hello, Mr. An."
"Mr. An, long time no see."
An Rong turned a blind eye to the greetings of those people. Instead, he was slightly respectful and took the initiative to lead the middle-aged man next to Pan Tao to where the Nie family members were.
Among the three major families in Black Cloud City, the An family ranks first in terms of strength, which has not changed in decades.
In the eyes of most people in Heiyun City, An Rong, who is the head of the An family, is actually the city lord of Heiyun City and the most powerful person in Heiyun City.
Now, the Lord of Black Cloud City actually visited Nie's house in person and even guided a stranger, which made many people confused.
"An Rong, what are you doing here?" Nie Beichuan was a little unsure, but nominally speaking, as the head of the Nie family, he was actually on an equal footing with An Rong.
"Nie Laoer, does Heiyun City belong to your family?" An Rong had a hot temper and rushed to him as soon as he spoke, "I am going to Heiyun City. Do I need to inform you in advance?"
Nie Beichuan was furious, but had no choice but to say, "Our Nie family didn't invite you anyway!"
"Your Nie family is in such a useless place, and I won't even come if you invite me!" An Rong laughed strangely and said, "Ever since Boss Nie was injured, your Nie family has been in a state of chaos, fighting among each other all day long. You think it's very interesting, right?"
"It's not your turn to deal with the Nie family's affairs!" Nie Beichuan retorted.
"Haha, who the hell has time to care about your petty affairs!" An Rong sneered, "I heard that you ruined the Lingyun Sect's mine? Hey, now you have fun! You just took the position of the head of the family, Then the mine will collapse, which is not a good sign!”
"The mine is the foundation of your Nie family. If the mine collapses, I think your position will not be too far away from collapse."
An Rong laughed loudly, examining Nie Beichuan's sore spots to ridicule him without giving him any face.
Many onlookers, after hearing what he said, were thoughtful and felt that his words were quite reasonable.
Even some members of the Nie family, after thinking about it carefully, thought that the mine suddenly collapsed just after Nie Beichuan came to power. Could it be that Nie Beichuan brought his own bad luck
"Stop talking nonsense!" Nie Beichuan blew his beard angrily and glared, but couldn't find a reason to refute.
At this time, Pan Tao led the middle-aged man to Nie Tian's side.
"Nie Tian, this is my father." Pan Tao pointed to the middle-aged man, introduced him with a smile, then pointed to Nie Tian and said, "Dad, he is my good brother Nie Tian."
"Hello, Uncle Pan." Nie Tian saluted hurriedly.
Pan Bo smiled slightly and said in a very gentle tone: "The day Tao'er returned to Lingbao Pavilion, he urged me to come to Black Cloud City with him. He told me on the way that in Qinghuan Realm, you You have fought side by side with him and gone through adversity together, and he values you very much.”
"Pan Bai! He is Pan Bai from Lingbao Pavilion! He was the one who personally came to take An Shiyi to Lingbao Pavilion back then. He is the son of the great elder Pan Hongzhen!"
"Every time Lingbao Pavilion recruits disciples, he is in charge. He seems to be in the late Zhongtian realm!"
"Why did he come to Black Cloud City?"
One person in the crowd had been staring at Pan Bo when he came over. Now he seemed to have finally confirmed his identity and couldn't help but scream.
"Pan Bo!"
Everyone in the Nie family, including Nie Donghai, was shocked and looked at Pan Bo with strange eyes.
At this time, they finally understood why An Rong, the head of the An family, treated this person with a little respect.
Even with An Shiyi here, the An family is still a subordinate family of Lingbao Pavilion, but Pan Bo is the core figure of Lingbao Pavilion. His father, Pan Tao's grandfather, is even more powerful than one person in Lingbao Pavilion. identity.
"Boss Nie, you are lucky. Mr. Pan came to Black Cloud City this time for Nie Tian." An Rong stopped teasing Nie Beichuan, who looked embarrassed, but turned to look at Nie Donghai and said, "Pan Your husband is specifically responsible for recruiting potential disciples for Lingbao Pavilion. As long as he likes them, they don't need to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining to be accepted by Lingbao Pavilion."
"He came to Black Cloud City in person just to take Nie Tian back to Lingbao Pavilion to practice just like the girl who took me to the An family."
An Rong said solemnly.
As soon as these words came out, all the onlookers, including all the Nie family members, immediately burst into an uproar.
