"Master Zhou, the head of my family invites you!"
After finishing his inspection on the city wall, Zhou He was about to go to the government office, but was stopped by a group of people.
The leader, Zhou He, recognized that Wu Junhui, the chief steward of the Wu family, possessed the cultivation level of the late stage of out-of-body cultivation.
The Wu family and other seven major families unscrupulously surrendered to the giant snake demon king when the demon cultivator army approached, and caused a lot of killings in the city. The court will never tolerate such a situation, so now the seven The big family is already like a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't last long.
Therefore, Zhou He did not want to have anything to do with them and said calmly: "Steward Wu, I'm really sorry. I have political affairs to deal with. I'm afraid I won't be able to accept the invitation. Please forgive me."
"Haha!" Hearing this, Wu Junhui showed a weird smile and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Zhou, the floral dress your wife is wearing today is quite unique. I like it very much."
Suddenly, Zhou He's face suddenly changed, and he stared at Wu Junhui coldly: "What did you do to Ronger?"
Wu Junhui's face showed a bit of pride: "Master Zhou, don't worry, Miss Ronger is very good, she just came to my Wu family as a guest. Of course, Miss Ronger misses Master Zhou very much. Don't you want to see Master Zhou?" Miss Ronger?"
Hearing that Wu Junhui threatened him with his daughter, Zhou He's face became extremely ugly, and he was troubled in his heart as to whether he should go to Wu's house or not.
Seeing this, Wu Junhui urged: "Mr. Zhou, my head's time is very precious. Don't keep him waiting for a long time!"
"You two go back to the Yamen first, I'll go with Butler Wu!"
Zhou He turned around and said to the two government officials behind him. As he spoke, he quietly sent a message asking them to go to the inn to look for Mr. Song.
"Yes, sir!"
The two government officials turned around and left, but Wu Junhui showed a sneer at this moment.
"Poof! Poof!"
With a flash of sword light, the heads of the two government officials were separated. Then Wu Junhui waved his hand and put the two bodies into the storage bag.
"Master Zhou, don't be careful, otherwise, I can't guarantee your safety!" Wu Junhui glanced at Zhou He in a warning manner, which made his heart sink and he felt even more defeated.
Soon, Wu Junhui escorted Zhou He to the Wu family.
"Master Zhou's arrival really makes my Wu family proud!" Wu Taisheng came up to greet him and said with a smile on his face.
"I've met the head of the Wu family, but I wonder where my Rong'er is?" Zhou He bowed and asked anxiously.
"Master Zhou, please relax, our Wu family will never treat Miss Ronger badly!" Wu Taisheng narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
"Okay, Old Wu, time is urgent, don't talk nonsense!" A voice sounded, but it was the patriarch of another family, one of the seven major families.
But then, the patriarchs of the other six families appeared one after another.
The head of the Kong family said: "Zhou He, I won't beat around the bush with you. You arrange for our seven families to leave the city. Not only will we not harm you father and daughter, but we will also give you five hundred top-quality spiritual crystals. How about that?"
"This...?" Zhou He couldn't help but show hesitation.
"Zhou He, I advise you not to be ungrateful. If you don't agree, don't blame us for sending your father and daughter to reunite underground!" the head of the Yao family threatened.
After some hesitation, Zhou He finally nodded: "Okay, I promise you, but you have to promise not to harm our father and daughter. Also, you have to pay me some of the five hundred top-quality spiritual crystals first!"
Wu Taisheng laughed loudly: "Haha, okay, since you are so sensible, we will not treat you badly! Take it, there are two hundred top-quality spiritual crystals in it, and the remaining three hundred will be given to you when the matter is completed!"
As the saying goes, long nights bring many dreams.
As soon as Zhou He agreed, the seven major families began to make arrangements, broke the family members into pieces, and quietly gathered at the city gate.
A quarter of an hour later, no less than 20,000 people gathered at the most remote gate of Xianfeng City, all of whom were members of the seven major families.
"Zhou He, activate the formation!" Wu Taisheng urged.
"good!"
Zhou He took out the pass token and played a few spells. Suddenly, the city defense formation suddenly opened, and a portal as tall as one person appeared.
"The exit is too small, open it wider!" Wu Taisheng scolded.
"Master Wu, please forgive me, the pass token in my hand can only open such a big hole!" Zhou He said solemnly.
"Okay, Old Wu, let's go quickly!" As he spoke, the head of the Kong family had already rushed towards the door.
Time goes back to when Zhou He opened the city defense formation.
Song Yan in the inn suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the city gate. The city defense formation of Xianfeng City had been broken by the giant snake demon king. This city defense formation was restored by him, so he and the city defense chief There is a special induction between the formations, so as soon as Zhou He opened the city defense formation, he felt it.
"Whoosh!"
The head of the Kong family rushed into the city impatiently, but just as he rushed through the gate, his eyes suddenly blurred.
"Bang!"
The figure of the head of the Kong family flew back and collided with Wu Taisheng who was about to pass through the portal.
Suddenly, the two fell into a heap, extremely embarrassed.
"How is this going?"
Everyone in the seven major families was shocked.
The next moment, a handsome young man walked in from the door. When they saw him, the faces of the seven major families became extremely ugly.
"Mr. Song, you are here!"
Zhou He bent down to salute, with a trace of joy on his face. Fortunately, Song Yan arrived in time, otherwise members of the seven major families of Zhenren would have escaped from Xianfeng City.
"Zhou He, how dare you play tricks on us?"
Wu Taisheng got up from the ground and stared at Zhou He bitterly: "Don't you want your daughter's life?"
"In order to prevent you, the scum of the human race, from escaping, I will not hesitate to sacrifice Ronger, even my own life!" Zhou He said firmly.
"you… !"
For a moment, Wu Taisheng's face became extremely ugly.
At this moment, another head of the family came forward and bowed to Song Yan: "Master Song, we have no enmity with you in the past and no enmity in the recent past. Why do you have to suffer so much? As long as you are willing to let us go, I will The Bo Lai family is willing to give up all their property!"
"I, the Xie family, are also willing to give up all my family property. I just ask Mr. Song to give us a chance to survive!"
Next, the patriarchs of the other five families expressed their willingness to give up all their family property as long as Song Yan was willing to let them go.
For a moment, Zhou He couldn't help but feel worried, really afraid that Song Yan would agree.
Finally, Song Yan spoke: "If I had done something else, I might have promised you, but this time, you have gone too far. Not only did you take refuge with the giant snake demon king, you actually acted as an executioner and slaughtered the human race. If people like you continue to live, it will be a disaster!"
Hearing this, Zhou He nodded in agreement, but the faces of the seven major families became extremely ugly.
Suddenly, Wu Taisheng roared at Song Yan: "Song, who do you think you are? The savior? You are neither a member of the imperial court nor a member of the Phoenix Celestial Sect. Why do you meddle in other people's business!"
In response to this, Song Yan smiled disapprovingly and stood with his hands behind his back: "Although I am not a member of the imperial court, nor a member of the Phoenix Celestial Sect, I am a human race, and anyone can punish human scum like you. , now, all of you, go back obediently, if you still stay here for more than half a quarter of an hour, you will be killed without mercy!"
