As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall.
"What does this mean?!"
"Do you think I can't say a few words about family affairs?" Some elders asked angrily.
Some said faintly: "It seems that I am really old."
"This Xue family no longer needs me to wait for the old man."
Some even directly reprimanded and questioned, "You are still young, you dare to talk like that! Do you still have family laws and family rules in your eyes!"
"I knew that sooner or later the Xue family would be defeated by a traitor like you!"
Obviously, they have no fear of Xue Wu, a junior, at least not as afraid as they are of Qianye.
The Patriarch of the Xue family spoke at this moment, and said: "All the elders and deacons stay here and make a joint decision. This matter is settled here, there is no need to discuss it again."
Now that the Patriarch had already spoken, Xue Wu had no reason to persist, he sat down with his head bowed, his face was ashen. He was scolded a lot just now, but those words caused public outrage.
In any family, in any dynasty, secrets are an important part of power and position, and which of the elders in this hall is willing to be inferior.
Ji Tianqing waited quietly. Seeing that the Xue family members had finished arguing, Fang said slowly, "Since the Patriarch said he couldn't recognize it, then I'll just say it bluntly. This is the badge of the Demon Family."
Not many elders were moved. This badge has a strong demonic style, and anyone with a little knowledge can tell it apart. It's just that no one has the knowledge of which family they belong to.
Patriarch Xue's complexion was a little ugly, and he pondered: "Forgive me for my poor eyesight, I can't tell which family's badge this is."
"Patriarch really can't see it?" Ji Tianqing made no secret of his sarcasm.
Several of the elders looked at the Patriarch with their eyes flickering.
No matter how powerful the city is, the Patriarch of the Xue family couldn't prevaricate at this moment, so he could only say: "This seems to be the family emblem of Masefield." rare.
Ji Tianqing smiled slightly, and said, "Your old man finally has eyesight. That's right, this is the family emblem of Masefield. It's just that this emblem is a bit special."
The Patriarch of the Xue family picked up the badge again, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then said: "If the old man's old eyes are not wrong, this badge seems to belong to a certain... Marquis?"
There was a commotion among the elders of the Xue family, and the Marquis of the Demon Race was already a very important figure to them. Now that the badge fell into Qianye's hands, could it be said that a marquis was killed
The sarcasm in Ji Tianqing's eyes became more obvious, and she said: "The Patriarch is really good at joking, how could this badge belong to the Marquis. Since the Patriarch will definitely not say it clearly, then I will not be polite. This badge belongs to Lin Jiaer, the Vice-Duke of the Devil. "
"What?!" With a bang, the badge fell from the hand of the Patriarch of the Xue family onto the table.
"Does the owner want to ask whether it is true or not?"
The Patriarch of the Xue family blushed slightly, but still bit the bullet and said: "This badge is indeed the logo of the top management of Masefield, but it doesn't seem to have any personal badge on it. I don't know how you can determine that it is Lin Jiaer?"
Ji Tianqing said: "This badge can only be owned by Duke-level nobles, needless to say. As for why it belongs to Lin Jiaer, it's very simple, because it was snatched from Lin Jiaer."
The elders looked at each other in blank dismay. Many of them had never heard of Lin Jiaer's name. The world beyond the neutral land was already too far away for them.
The Patriarch of the Xue family obviously knew about Lin Jiaer, tried his best to hold back his shock, and reluctantly said: "What do you mean by showing a badge from Lin Jiaer?"
"It's very simple. This time the demonic backup fleet is led by Lin Jiaer. Now I can tell you that the demonic backup fleet is gone." Ji Tianqing said straightforwardly.
The Patriarch of the Xue family was silent for a moment, and Fang said: "What do you want our Xue family to do?"
Before Ji Tianqing could answer, an elder stood up abruptly and shouted: "Why should we believe that the backing of the demon descendants has been lost? Don't we believe what you say, and really think that we are waiting for nothing? Take ten thousand steps back and talk about it." , even if what you said is true, Yongye is so big and powerful, wouldn’t it be enough to send another fleet? When the army of demons arrives, the situation will definitely turn around!”
Before the head of the Xue family could speak, Qianye suddenly jumped up like a ghost, and the red light in his hand flashed away.
The elder was still talking eloquently, but suddenly his face changed drastically. When he looked down, he saw a few scarlet spots slowly spreading on his chest. The spot was very small, and in the end it was no more than the size of a bean grain, but the elder felt his whole body was weak, he couldn't even speak, and gradually fell limp.
There was an uproar in the room, exclamations everywhere, everyone gathered around the elder who fell to the ground to check, and some people were on guard against Qianye, but no one dared to attack.
The most terrifying thing about an opponent like Qianye is that he is not afraid of siege at all. In addition, his speed is too fast, and his shots are too fierce. Even in a group battle, most of the opponents who are picked up by him will be doomed. The elders of the Xue family are all people who cherish their lives. Obviously, even at this time, no one is willing to be the unjust dead ghost in his early years.
Only the Patriarch of the Xue family, Xue Wu and a few others saw clearly that what Qianye shot out were several extremely thin red lines. I don't know what's special about these red lines, they are extremely powerful, once they are hit, the elder's vitality will be cut off.
"Why is this!" The Patriarch of the Xue family was startled and angry, and asked loudly.
Ji Tianqing still sat upright and said, "This elder seems to be determined to stand on the side of the demon descendants. There is no other way but to send him to die."
"You killed people in my Xue family, and you don't take us seriously?" Some elders immediately angrily reprimanded.
Ji Tianqing said calmly: "Don't you understand? We are determined to win this battle, and there is no room for maneuver. As long as we stand on the side of the demons, no matter who they are, we will kill them immediately."
Another elder got up and said angrily: "How unreasonable! You are forcing our Xue family to fall to the demons!"
"If the Xue family falls to the demon descendants, then we will wipe out the Xue family." Ji Tianqing said lightly, as if the implication was not to destroy the family, but just a trivial matter.
The Patriarch of the Xue family couldn't calm down at this moment, and said slightly sullenly: "Your side behaved like this, so you didn't come here to discuss things at all."
Before Ji Tianqing could speak, Xue Wu suddenly smiled wryly, and said, "Patriarch, don't you understand? They really didn't come here to discuss, they just let us make a decision, whether to stand on the side of the empire or Yongye."
There was a sudden awkward silence in the hall.
Another elder asked tentatively: "Then what if my Xue family doesn't help each other?"
Ji Tianqing said coldly: "The big battle is imminent, how can we allow small details to affect the overall situation. Before the arrival of the demon descendants' backup, anyone who does not belong to our empire will be uprooted!"
These words were extremely blunt, and the face of the Patriarch of the Xue family also changed drastically, completely unexpected that Ji Tianqing would not leave any room for it. He frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid of losing people's hearts by doing this?"
"Today, how can the empire need such vacillating hearts? Where do we go, let the Patriarch say something. If you don't want to stand on the side of the empire, then we will leave immediately."
The Patriarch of the Xue family smiled wryly, and said: "This, this is too urgent, can you give me a little time, let me discuss it later?"
Ji Tianqing nodded: "Okay, half an hour." After finishing speaking, she sat in the same place without moving, showing that the villain was bullying the master.
Patriarch Xue smiled wryly, stood up first, and walked out of the room. All the elders glanced at each other, and with the body of the fallen elder, they filed out to discuss themselves.
Qianye got up, stood in front of the window, looked thoughtfully at the endless Xue family mansion in front of him, and remained silent.
Ji Tianqing came to his side, shrugged and said, "This is all Song Zining's idea, I'm just a sounding board, if you want to blame you, blame him! Here, let me show you this."
With that said, Ji Tianqing threw a pamphlet to Qianye.
Qianye opened it and saw that there were dense conversations written in it, most of which were said by Ji Tianqing, so he couldn't help being stunned: "What is this?"
"script."
In the meeting room in the courtyard next door, all the elders of the Xue family were arguing, and there were still a few who stood firm and had an extremely firm attitude. They didn't dare to speak in front of Qianye, but facing their own people at this moment, they could speak freely and say whatever they wanted.
Most of the elders just want to negotiate more terms and reap some benefits. As for how to distribute the benefits, there were disagreements, and they did not hesitate to quarrel, as if those benefits had already been in their hands.
The Patriarch of the Xue family frowned deeply, and suddenly asked Xue Wu: "Xiao Wu, what do you think?"
Xue Wu had been silent at first, but at this moment Fang said: "Patriarch still doesn't understand? Our use value is only so small."
"You are familiar with Qianye, can you accommodate me?"
Xue Wu sighed softly, and said: "The difference in strength is too great, how can we talk about accommodation? What's more, my Xue family, how can I have an old relationship with him?"
All the elders were silent. Looking back on the past, the Xue family attacked Qianye overtly and secretly more than once, but suffered heavy losses. This so-called "feeling" was actually frightened by being beaten.
But Ji Tianqing's conditions were too bad, there was almost no conditions at all, the Patriarch of the Xue family was still hesitating.
At this moment, Xue Wu suddenly took a side step, and dodged behind the two elders who had always been tough. A cold light flashed in his hands, and two short knives pierced the backs of the two elders!
Xue Wu's sudden attack surprised everyone, and the Patriarch shouted: "Xiao Wu, what are you doing?"
Xue Wu let the corpses of the two elders fall to the ground, threw down the blood-stained dagger, and said calmly: "It's for the life and death of the Xue family. These two people have received a large amount of benefits from the demon descendants, so they are naturally unwilling to agree. It can't be done for their own sake." For personal gain, do you want the entire Xue family to be buried with you? Now there is no objection, Patriarch, let’s decide.”
An elder sighed: "Why is this so, why is this so! No matter how fierce that Qianye is, can he kill our Xue family by himself?"
"It can be killed." Xue Wu lowered his eyes and said, his face was as usual, and his tone was indifferent.
At this moment, the room was silent, and no one questioned.
"It's settled like this, our Xue family joins the empire!" The Patriarch of the Xue family finally made up his mind.
A while later, after hearing the decision made by the Patriarch of the Xue family, Ji Tianqing straightened her body and let go of her frivolity. The aura of a peerless powerhouse emerged spontaneously, and said indifferently: "Congratulations, Patriarch."
This plain congratulations scared the elders of the Xue family into a cold sweat.
Xue Wu came in front of Qianye with a firm face, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Qianye, from now on there will only be affiliation, nothing else!"
