"Send troops?" Nantes heard these two words, glanced at Zhou Dezhen, and sneered again.
"You really like my position as city lord so much? Are you so impatient?"
It is well known that the Lord of the Southern City hates the family. He has nothing to do in Qingshi. Firstly, he is used to laziness. Secondly, it is also because he is restricted by the family. Of course, it is certain that he has not made great efforts to rectify this restriction.
So even if the Zhou family encounters misfortune, he still dares to make sarcastic remarks.
Moreover, his sarcastic words were reasonable. If he sent troops privately without the approval of the county governor, he would be suspected of rebellion.
Zhou Dezhen also knew that he was right, so he suppressed his anger and raised his hand in a dignified manner, "It was me who was reckless. The main reason is that my tribe is being slaughtered. I also ask the city lord to contact the county guard as soon as possible."
"What should I, the city lord, do, and I still have to listen to you?" Nante was furious when he heard this, "Worry... you can go back to save your people, am I stopping you?"
"I'm not..." Zhou Dezhen was worried. After a moment of hesitation, considering the clan members who were being slaughtered, he finally answered directly, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to defeat him?"
"Looking at your potential," Nante glanced at him disdainfully, "When you encounter a strong enemy, you will think that I am the city lord. If you have the Nightmare Spider, you will take advantage of the Northern Territory... It is impossible until I implement this matter.
Ask the county governor for instructions, if it is not true, someone in my south will be shameless."
It’s not that he is careless, it’s just the fact that it made me panic when I think about it. Who thought I was the lord of the city?
"Then let's leave quickly." Zhou Dezhen knew that Nan Te had also broken through the fourth-level spirit fairy a while ago. Two fourth-level spirit immortals plus Zhou Zaiyuan, a second-level spirit immortal, could make Chen Taizhong escape, but it was because of God's ignorance.
"Zhou Dezhen, who do you think you are!" Nante was so angry that he scolded him directly, "You dare to order me, the city lord, to do things, and then you set your sights on the position of county guard?"
"Nancheng Lord, calm down, calm down." Zhou Zaiyuan, another spiritual immortal from the Zhou family, hurriedly stepped forward, "My uncle has been concentrating on cultivation and is not very good at talking. He feels sorry for his clan members... He made a mistake while busy, please forgive me."
"He's a boss, he's not as good at talking as a little brat," Nante glared at Zhou Dezhen fiercely.
After all, Zhou Zaiyuan was the master of Jiu Zhangduo. He didn't dare to care about being called a brat, so he could only endure his anger and flatter the other person, "My uncle's fighting ability is much worse than yours, we were just thinking.
With you here, there is no need to worry about not being able to defeat Chen Taizhong."
He said this quite tactfully, but Nantes was not happy to hear it.
"What do you mean, with me here, you don't have to worry about not being able to defeat Chen Taizhong? The lives of your Zhou family members are valuable, but the life of my city lord is not valuable? What if you still can't defeat him? Damn it... it's worth it even if the city lord is buried with him.
Yes, right?"
Zhou Zaiyuan was speechless. But Zhou Dezhen couldn't help it, "Does the Lord of the South City mean to sit back and watch?"
"You fart," said Nantes, who did not have the image of a city lord at all. He was swearing profusely, but he would not really be derelict in his duties. "You are afraid of death, and I am afraid of death too. We must recruit more talents, right?"
This was a waste of time in convening the people. The Tao family and the Chu family did not dare to resist, but after a long time of coercion, only one fairy came out of each family.
In the end, a luxurious team of six immortals, including two mid-level immortals, marched straight to Zhoujiabao.
As you can imagine, when they arrived, they could only watch the burning village.
Zhou Dezhen immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, while Zhou Zaiyuan gathered the scattered Zhou clan members and took stock of their losses.
The losses were simply unbearable by the Zhou family. The death of three worshipers was second to none. The key point was that many elite members of the Zhou family died, including the first person of the Qing generation, Zhou Qinggun - who was less than thirty years old.
Eighth level wandering immortal.
The most annoying thing is that the ancestral temple was smashed to pieces. This is the place where the Zhou family worships their ancestors.
The high-level defensive spiritual array as a betrothal gift from the Zheng family in the Northern Territory was also destroyed. This kind of thing cannot be bought even with money.
This loss was so huge, and the loss of face was even greater. It was a shame that Zhou Dezhen, the leader of the Zhou family, could not bear.
The Zhou family is used to being domineering in Qingshi City, but they have suffered heavy setbacks in recent days. When other people saw this miserable situation, although they were extremely angry, they might also feel a little gloating in their hearts.
——The Zhou family actually secretly hides three spirits to worship, and they don’t know what they want to do.
By evening, out of the tens of thousands of people from Zhoujiapu, only more than 4,000 people had returned sporadically. Chen Taizhong had killed more than 400 people, and the remaining thousands of people were nowhere to be seen.
This tragic scene made Zhou Zaiyuan couldn't help but shed tears. Although he knew that most people had not received the news and did not dare to come back, but the huge Zhou family, the Zhou clan that used to be extremely prosperous, had fallen into such a state.
, who can not feel sad?
It was getting dark soon, and the other four fairies wanted to return to the city - it was too unsafe to stay in the wilderness, there was not even a defensive formation, so it was safer to go back to the city.
"I'd like to thank you all for your hard work all night." Second-level Immortal Zhou Zaiyuan came out to smooth things over. He was very polite, "I, the Zhou clan, are still returning. We can return at noon tomorrow."
"This is out of the blue, and Chen Taizhong is good at invisibility." Chu Nongying and Tao Xinran decisively refused, "We are here to help, not to die."
At this time, the Zhou family could no longer hide it. Zhou Dezhen sneered, "If you leave now, you will die... Don't think that Chen Taizhong only hates my Zhou family. The immortals who disappeared from your two families also died in
In his hand."
"Are you sure?" The two of them were shocked when they heard this.
"Uncle Daoping and Deling died in his hands a while ago," Zhou Dezhen said through gritted teeth, "The sixth-level immortal you saw is Chen Taizhong."
Chu Nongying and Tao Xinran were stunned immediately. After a long time, Tao Xinran shook his head and said, "This is impossible. Chen Taizhong is good at marksmanship. The masked man used a knife."
"When he killed three of my family members, he used knives... He only used guns in group fights," Zhou Dezhen replied expressionlessly.
In fact, he really didn't want to reveal this secret, so that other family members would run into it, but at this time, he had to say it - the four immortals were gone, and he had no guts to stay here.
And the members of the Zhou family are still returning one after another. He can't just throw away and leave. After being called "ancestor" for so many years, he has to be worthy of the respect of his clan members.
As soon as these words came out, even Nantes took it seriously, "This is just a guess. Is there any other evidence?"
"My uncle Daoping has an exclusive footwork that Chen Taizhong can also use," Zhou Dezhen replied with a stern face. In fact, this footwork was discovered by grandma, but she shouted it out in front of so many people, and the others
That’s it.
"This means... he knows the Qi Condensation Technique?" Chu Nongying's eyes narrowed slightly. When Chen Taizhong was hunted down, he was at the eighth level of Youxian. Now it is normal for him to be at the ninth level of Youxian - that guy's promotion,
It's fast to become famous.
However, it is impossible for you to reach the sixth level of Youxian. You can only use Qi Condensation Technique to explain this abnormality.
"That means... maybe that guy is more than the ninth level Immortal?" Tao Xinran also took a breath of cold air. The six spirit immortals did not retain the eighth level Immortal. Now the eighth level Immortal has been promoted to the first level spirit.
Wow, this, this, this... is really terrible.
Nante pondered for a while before slowly nodding, "It's been nine months, and it's possible to advance to the rank of Spirit Immortal... I decided to stay in Zhoujiazhuang for one night. Anyone who wants to leave can leave."
Just kidding, if he doesn't leave, who would dare to leave? Everyone was frightened by this speculation.
So everyone spent a frightening night, and there were some misunderstandings from time to time.
The six immortals all brought their own outdoor defense formations, but even so, no one among the six dared to close their eyes.
After all, it is normal for a cultivator of spiritual immortals to stay up for several days and nights. At noon the next day, the number of people returning from the Zhou family had reached 6,000. Under the supervision of other spiritual immortals, Zhou Dezhen gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go...
…Leave a few signs and let them go to town on their own.”
Everyone walked cautiously along the way. The only one who was more relaxed was the city lord Nantes. He even took out a jug of wine and drank slowly while walking.
Among the six thousand people, almost two thousand were mortals who had not even reached the level of Immortal. You can imagine the speed. It was not until it was almost dark that a large group of people arrived at Qingshi City.
Six thousand people were about to enter the city, which was another busy time. In order to prevent Chen Taizhong from sneaking in, the inspection was even more detailed.
However, the food and lodging for these 6,000 people were all borne by the Zhou family. Qingshi's Zhou residence was full, so the others were not affected much.
As soon as Nante returned to the city lord's palace, he summoned the spirits from the three families over again, "There is bad news..."
The bad news is that the Liang family was bloodbathed for the second time today. The murderer was a masked woman. This was reported to the Liang family in the city through the communication crane when the Liang family was in trouble.
Who did it? Do you even need to ask?
Chen Taizhong can pretend to be a sixth-level immortal, but he can't pretend to be a woman? Let alone a masked woman.
Just when there was silence in the city lord's palace, Zhou Dezhen smiled, a sinister sneer, "Hey, there are always people who think it's none of their business. The Liang family was killed twice by him... He didn't kill any of the people who chased him."
I won’t let it go.”
In terms of hatred towards Chen Taizhong, the Zhou family has the deepest hatred, and the Liang family is also not shallow. The Tao and Chu families just abide by their agreement and send combat forces to arrest those who disturb order.
Zhou Dezhen's words pointed out: The Liang family, who offended Chen Taizhong even though they were not too cruel, could be destroyed twice. You, the Tao and Chu family, also sent people out. Do you really think you will be spared?
Not to mention, the Tao and Chu families had each lost a spirit fairy a while ago.
Tao Xinran was the most cunning. He looked at Nantes and said, "We are responding to the call of the city lord. Since your Zhou family doesn't have the appeal...the city lord will give us an explanation."
The Zhou family was in decline, even the ancestral temple was smashed, and three of the worshipers were dead. He no longer needed to show any mercy.
The Lord of the South City had a sullen face and said nothing.
"Farewell." At this moment, Chu Nongying stood up, and she bowed her hands to the people present, "For the next battle, don't count my Chu family, I want to return to the Chu family village, and my fellow clansmen will share the hardships."
