Chapter 168
On a quiet night, in the quiet city lord's mansion, the moonlight shone through the spotless small windows, projecting on the blue luxurious carpet and the strange hoarfrost sculpture that appeared at some time.
On the bare branches of the ice tree, four black-headed eagles that almost looked exactly the same. Under the moonlight, the eagles' black wings gradually shed, revealing the strange eagles' feathers that were blue and white, almost transparent. The high eagle heads also turned into snow-white. In the contrast of the cold air and snow light of the ice tree, it seemed as if they were born from the ice and snow, and were breathtakingly beautiful.
The person sitting on the high seat was surrounded by wind and snow, protected, hazy and unable to see clearly.
The only thing that can be seen clearly is the flawless and beautiful hand that is like ice sculptures and jade-carved and the crystal wine glass that is gently pinched between the thumb and middle finger. In the wine glass, the light golden liquid is not affected by the wind and snow at all, and is as stable as the windless lake surface.
Suddenly, the hand moved slightly. With just a gentle shaking, the charming brilliance of the first sun reflecting the snow was produced between the snow-white five fingers, which was dazzling.
The door was pushed open, and an armored guard rushed over, bypassing the ice tree, and kneeled in front of the noble snow and snow on one knee.
"The 'Rae Eye' in the direction of Ningcheng is rewarded. Ningcheng encountered a drastic change, and the former site of the Hu family is already in ruins. The actual controller of Ningcheng is a young man named Lang Zheng. His strength is initially judged as the second level of the Blast Yuan Realm. The 'Rae Eye' asks for instructions, whether to continue observing."
After a brief silence, the moving voice in the wind and snow, like the snow-singing night, came slowly through the wind and snow-snow-
"No, order the 'Sharp Eye' sent to Ningcheng to return immediately."
"Yes." The guards took the order and left without any doubt.
After the guard left, the city lord's mansion became quiet again. The black color was like watering ink, and it quickly dyed the heads of the four giant eagles on the ice tree. After a while, they turned back to their original black-headed eagles. Except for the still-looking expression in their eyes, they could not find any unique features.
"Ningcheng lost its despair and its mineral veins retreated... It was a surprising change... Did the little fox outside the city come to Xiaoling City at a desperate situation? Should I give him some small compensation for my misunderstanding... A vulnerable little wolf destroyed the foundation of the fox clan in Ningcheng... Where did the real elites of the fox clan go? Or, where can they go..."
The wind and snow suddenly rolled up the light golden wine in the wine glass and put it into the mouth of the ponder. This is not the instinctive need after thirst, but the unique habit of the man thinking in the wind and snow...
After a long time, the ice tree melted for no reason, and six black-headed eagles spread their wings and flew high, crossed the passage reserved for them on the roof, flew out of the city lord's mansion, and flew to the direction where they each performed their respective duties. And in the empty city lord's mansion, a wonderful sound like a snow oriole sounded again-
"The only possibility...'Sea of Hope'!"
...
The moonlight tonight is particularly bright, as if the sky is witnessing the shocking changes in Xiaoling City this night.
In the "big pocket" outside the city, strong bows and crossbows fell like rain, watering this land that had never been stained with blood, irrigated the city with scarlet red.
The Zhou family has been waiting for a long time on this day.
Every arrow shot was painted with a poison that could kill a high-level powerhouse in an instant. This batch of venom took the total income of the Zhou family for five years. When this decision was made, an elder of the Zhou family opposed it, but the head of the Zhou family ignored the opposition and insisted on it to the end!
It was the persistence at that time that made the Zhou family a victory in the massacre today!
The three elites who came to their senses no longer cared about Hu Gao, who "carried all the wealth of the Zhang family", braved the dense rain of arrows and rushed towards the direction of the exit! Now they had to fight for their lives, because if they didn't fight for their lives, the only thing waiting for them was death!
Being trapped!
Everyone knew they were trapped! But they didn't even have time to shout these two words. No one expected that the Zhou family was so cruel that they wanted to design to catch them all in one go!
Under the dense rain of arrows, there were very few elites from the three major families who could rush to the exit, and the figures at the exit completely destroyed all their hopes for escape!
Zhou Jian, with the three strongest guards of the Zhou family, held a giant shield that was three people tall, completely blocked the entrances and exits that could accommodate four people side by side. This giant shield itself was extremely hard, and with the blessing of the four people's Yuanli, it was something these desperate remnants could shake.
These survivors who rushed to the entrance and exit had only time to launch an attack on the giant shields on all sides, and a new round of arrow rain shot from behind them, nailing them to the ground.
Hu Gao, the center of the storm, was now lazily leaning against the stone wall, admiring the one-sided massacre. The depression of the stone wall where Hu Gao was located was the only dead corner in the entire "big pocket" that could not be shot by the Zhou family's crossbow. Of course, if the Zhou family's guards adjusted their positions, it would be a different matter.
"This kind of exaggerated giant shield, the crossbows prepared as scheduled, the poison on the arrows, and the skill of these guards holding the crossbows... Tsk tsk... The Zhou family seems to have planned to use the natural terrain here to catch all the people from other families in one go. Even if I don't show up in Xiaoling City, the old guy will definitely think of other ways."
The massacre lasted less than half an incense stick, and the elites of the three major families became dead bodies. The unification of the five major families in Xiaoling City seemed to be inevitable.
The head of the Zhou family led more than ten guards to jump off the stone wall and stopped a hundred steps away from Hu Gao. Instead of confiscating the spoils at the first time, they surrounded Hu Gao in a half-moon shape. All the sharp arrows painted on the crossbow locked Hu Gao's left chest.
"How does it feel?" The head of the Zhou family smiled, as if he had no malice.
"Excellent and wonderful!" Hu Gao clapped and smiled, not taking the powerful crossbows that locked him seriously at all. "The head of the Zhou family is fully prepared, which opens my eyes. But I am very curious. What are the benefits of killing all other families at once? All the wealth of the five major families is for your family to use, can you finish it?"
"You little brother, you are an outsider, of course you don't understand." The proud and fulfilled head of the Zhou family was also happy to answer Hu Gao's doubts. "Although our five major families are known to be the five major families in Xiaoling City, we actually know in our hearts that we are just second-rate families. There is only one first-rate family in Xiaoling City, that is, the Yin family, the mansion of the lord, who claims to be noble!"
Speaking of the Yin family in the city lord's mansion, the head of the Zhou family couldn't help but show a look of resentment on his face: "Although I'm very reluctant, I have to admit that the Yin family is very powerful, so powerful that we can't even have the idea of resistance. If you want to truly compete with the Yin family, gathering the resources of the five families and quickly cultivating a group of elite soldiers is the only way! Of course, the resources of the five families I mentioned naturally include the ones in your hands."
"So the head of the Zhou family is preparing to unload the donkey?" Hu Gao pretended to be like he was just now suddenly enlightened.
"You are good at pretending to be garlic. In fact, didn't you know from the beginning?" The head of the Zhou family made it clear without hesitation, "It's just that you are very confident in yourself and think you can get a share of the pie and escape successfully. What a pity... The crossbow under my hand doesn't have eyes, and you won't save your life just because you are young."
"Oh..." Hu Gao sighed with a lonely face, "I didn't expect you to have so many oil-poisoned crossbows, miscalculated, miscalculated! Really miscalculated! Compared to you, an old guy, I am still too young! Since that's the case, then you can do it!"
After saying that, Hu Gao closed his eyes, opened his arms, and looked like he was waiting for death.
The head of the Zhou family saw Hu Gao's appearance and sneered, raised his right hand and was about to wave it, but suddenly—
"boom!"
A loud noise came from behind the head of the Zhou family, causing his right hand to froze directly in the air. The head of the Zhou family quickly turned around and was shocked to see Zhou Jian holding a giant shield lying on the ground, with blood and flesh on his back turning out, dying, and half his life was lost even if he didn't die.
And in the center of smoke and dust, a tall man was riding a angrily lion with his head held high.
Seeing the third-level totem wind and sand anger lion that was completely concrete and condensed into a solid body, the head of the Zhou family suddenly shrank!
"Full concrete...explosion...explosion of the Yuan Realm?!"
The head of the Zhou family broke his head and didn't know when he had offended a powerful person in the Booming Yuan Realm! The Booming Yuan Realm! This is an absolute high-end power in Xiaoling City! Apart from the people in the City Lord's Mansion, the head of the Zhou family has never seen other powerful people in Xiaoling City. And the person in front of him looks like a person in the City Lord's Mansion. When did he provoke such a super strong person?!
"Oh! Master Zhou! You are so careless! How could you turn against me as an ally when there are other enemies? With Master Zhou, you shouldn't be so wise!" How could Hu Gao miss such a good opportunity and immediately exclaimed.
The head of the Zhou family felt that his scalp was almost blown up. If it weren't for the strong enemy, he would have wanted to immediately order his subordinates to shoot the noisy boy into a hornet's nest!
The next scene shocked the head of the Zhou family so much that his chin almost lost its stagnation!
The powerful Explosion Realm riding a wind and sand lion ignored the crossbow lock, walked past the Zhou family members with great swagger, came to Hu Gao, and turned over. This powerful man who was so powerful that everyone in the Zhou family was afraid of everyone, slowly but firmly knelt down to Hu Gao on one knee in the shocked eyes of everyone: "I am late to save you, please forgive me!"
Hu Gao glanced at the head of the Zhou family who looked as if dead, and nodded slightly to Zhu Youtian: "It's not too late, it's just right. If you came a moment ago, I would have blamed you for breaking this game tonight! Did you see the old guy over there? He is feeling more uncomfortable now than death. You said, are you here just right?"
