Chapter 481: Old Man(1/2)
Xu Luo curled his lips disdainfully and waved directly to Ren Qingbai.
"No, don't ask me. Before the plan was formulated, I already said it. I am only responsible for killing people. You can take care of other things."
Seeing that Ren Qingbai still had a confused look on his face, Xu Luo finally smiled bitterly.
"Brother Ren, I'm leaving soon!"
Ren Qingbai was horrified and immediately understood the meaning behind Xu Luo's actions.
As soon as he leaves, the mess in Dayan will definitely be dominated by the reformed sect. In other words, those trivial matters will eventually fall on people like himself.
It's better to take advantage of Xu Luo's support and let the others go ahead and do it first. If there is any accident, at least he will be the one to take care of it.
Moreover, Xu Luo's move also had the meaning of hiding his merit and fame to avoid suspicion.
To put it bluntly, what he did was not at all based on his deep friendship with the Reformed Church, but more on the face of Gu Xixi, his daughter, and the Ren family.
Thinking of this, Ren Qingbai stopped trying to persuade him and simply agreed.
"Brother, I understand your painstaking efforts. Don't worry, we can leave the rest of the matter to us. Since you, Xiao Luo, did such a big thing last night, people in the capital city must be in panic now."
Xu Luo made another cup of tea for him, with a pretended helplessness on his face.
"Then it depends on whether this monkey knows what's interesting?"
After Ren Qingbai thought about it, he understood what he meant, and couldn't help laughing. He didn't say anything, but just picked up the tea cup and touched it with him.
Just as the two of them guessed, all the well-informed people in the Zongren Mansion were a little restless at this moment.
The school grounds used to be empty at this time, but today they are bustling with people.
Many practitioners gathered together in small groups, some were whispering, some were talking eloquently, and most of them were staring in the direction of the main house with gloomy expressions.
At this moment, the skin on Xia Wuyou's face had obviously lost its previous luster, and even his tall figure seemed to be a little rickety.
Xia Changqing behind him looked worried, he must not let anything happen to his ancestor at this critical moment.
But when he thought about the bad news he received last night, even he couldn't help but feel a little lost.
The Duke's Mansion, which had been fighting openly and covertly with the clan's Mansion for nearly a hundred years, collapsed just like that overnight?
No one in the Xia family who had received the news about this big "happy" event was at all excited. Including Xia Wuyou, the worried look on his old face almost overflowed.
At this moment, the two of them were standing on the tallest star-catching building in the Zongren Mansion. They could see all the ugliness in the noisy school field not far away.
"Where have the elite reformed factions gone?"
After a long while, Xia Wuyou seemed to finally come to his senses and spoke in a dull voice.
Xia Changqing felt relieved, as long as the old man didn't give up yet, that would be fine.
Until now, he still hasn't figured out why the building is on the verge of collapse in just a few months.
The Mingming Zong Mansion had not experienced any problems during this period, but unknowingly, it was surrounded by enemies from all sides, with troops approaching the city.
Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Xia Wuyou couldn't help but frown and look back.
But all I could see was that Xia Changqing's usual calm demeanor had completely disappeared, and there was clearly a look of confusion in his eyes.
When the old fox saw this scene, he no longer felt disappointed, but he missed Xuan Yu's child more and more.
Seeing the indifference in his eyes, Xia Changqing finally reacted, and quickly covered up and forced a laugh.
"Ancestor, please rest assured that things are not yet at their worst.
The Reformed Jiehai base camp is indeed almost in full force, but on the other side of the Rock Defense Line, Yu Laizi is leading the team, and the number of people is only about three thousand..."
"I ask you where these people have gone?"
Xia Wuyou was too lazy to listen to his self-deceiving words anymore.
Tsk tsk, what a cripple. Don't you know that this old cripple was one of the four reformed heroes who caused countless bloody storms in the capital city?
Don't you know how much prestige he has in the hearts of those low-level exorcists?
There are only 3,000 people. In such a precarious situation, even if there is only one person from the General's Mansion in Panshi City, don't you know what it means?
Xia Changqing laughed a few times, as if he couldn't make it up anymore, so he had no choice but to turn the topic to what happened last night.
"As for Yunwuze, Xu Luo has already appeared at the dock, but he didn't dare to go deep because he was worried about the rune formation.
Those exorcists on Dazzling Island are retreating towards the capital city. I wonder if our ancestors need to keep these people in their pockets, or do they have other ways to deal with them?"
Seeing that he finally said a few reliable words, Xia Wuyou didn't want to argue with him anymore. After thinking for a while, he smiled bitterly.
"I'm afraid these people have already been scared out of their wits by that Xu Luo. Even if they accept them all, what effect will they have?
Forget it, if a war really comes, it would be good to have more cannon fodder, so you should take care of this first!"
He paused for a moment before saying this, and then said in deep thought.
"As for Na Xu Luo, you must not send anyone to test him again. This person is no longer something that the people below can deal with.
In addition, the two cavalrymen of Thunder and Lightning must stay at home these days, and no one is allowed to leave the station.
The places where the Royal Military Division is stationed are all the most critical nodes of the rune formation, so you can't be too careful."
Xia Changqing nodded obediently. Seeing that he turned back to look in the direction of the school grounds and said nothing for a long time, he bowed respectfully and left.
Xia Wuyou seemed not to notice his departure, quietly watching the noisy school grounds without moving.
All his actions just now were just to make up for the situation. He understood, and Xia Changqing, who seemed to be pretending to be stupid, understood even more.
But these things must be done. As for why, you will understand when you look at the panic scene on the school field in front of you.
Xia Wuyou saw more about Xu Luo's failure to enter the reward capital in time than the following people.
As soon as Xu Luo took action, he almost killed all the remaining elite members of the Duke Wei and the Duke's Mansion. This was to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and it was specially done to show him.
But Xia Wuyou never understood why Xu Luo went to such trouble?
Don't say that this young man is soft-hearted, otherwise even the people in the capital will laugh out loud.
unless……
Xia Wuyou's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he vaguely guessed that Xu Luo seemed to have great worries, or was held back by something important.
He doesn't have much time to waste here!
Although it is just a guess, judging from Xia Wuyou's experience of eating so many old rice, there is a very high chance that this is the case.
Thinking of this, he suddenly relaxed a little. Now when he saw the noisy school not far away, he suddenly felt a little disgusted, and his body disappeared in an instant from the Star Building.
Boom, a violent storm seemed to blow out of thin air on the school grounds, and everyone was involuntarily thrown aside and retreated.
But before everyone could yell and curse, they quickly swallowed all their complaints, because the master of the palace, who had never been seen before, had already appeared in the middle of the school grounds with a gloomy face.
Xia Wuyou didn't say a word, just looked around with sharp eyes.
Suddenly, everyone who had been unhappy just now lowered their heads like quails, and the ever-lasting noise on the school grounds suddenly stopped.
Everyone could detect the anger raging in Xia Wuyou's heart.
"Why don't you speak?"
Xia Wuyou's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder exploding in everyone's ears. Everyone trembled subconsciously, and the school grounds became completely silent.
"The sky won't fall yet! Give me your place immediately. If there is any problem with the talisman array, your whole clan will die without hesitation."
Everyone was trembling more and more violently, especially some of the older men, and their faces even turned pale as if they had thought of something.
Xia Wuyou has been in charge of the clan mansion for nearly a hundred years. Is it possible that he is just a good old man? His great prestige is earned solely through the influence of love and by building bridges and paving roads?
No fool would think so.
Xia Wuyou lost his temper and finally his expression became calmer and his tone became gentler.
"As long as we all work together to overcome this hurdle, our family will be the only one to dominate the Great Yan from now on. You might as well think about the benefits.
I have decided to start the evil killing place in seven days.
Anyone who practices in the Body Washing Realm of our sect can enter one of them to try out the opportunity. If they are in the Ningsha Realm or above, they can recommend one person to enter.
While everyone is keeping their positions these days, you can also make preparations first."
This method of slapping and stuffing a sweet date was used by Xia Wuyou, and there was really no trace at all.
Even if there are smart people among them who can understand the secrets, the desire for the Ningsha Realm is enough to overwhelm any reason.
At this moment, after hearing this, 99% of the people on the campus had expressions of uncontrollable ecstasy on their faces, but few people thought about it carefully.
Why should it be set in seven days, not tomorrow?
Xia Wuyou waved his hands around, and everyone who had eaten a big cake immediately saluted him in understanding and dispersed in twos and threes.
Until the school grounds became as empty as before again, all the excited expressions on Xia Wuyou's face disappeared.
He subconsciously looked in the direction of Yunwuze, and seemed to see a young man sitting cross-legged, looking at this ironic scene with a half-smile.
Seven days? Then these people must be able to wait until that moment arrives!
Although Xia Wuyou was drawing a cake just now, at this moment, he sincerely hoped that these people could walk into the evil place on his own in seven days.
But even he himself knew that it was simply impossible.
