"I didn't expect Master Zhuo Er to know about the 'magic pattern'. It seems that Master Zhuo Er, you also know how the magic pattern on Master Hang's body came from?"
After listening to Situ Zhuo's message, Duan Lingtian took a deep look at Situ Zhuo, and then said meaningfully. net.
This time, Duan Lingtian did not send a message, but said it directly.
At this moment, Situ Hou's eyes also became sharp, staring directly at Situ Zhuo, as if he wanted to see if Situ Zhuo would admit it.
"I don't know what you are talking about. I have never heard of magic patterns or not."
Situ Zhuo didn't expect Duan Lingtian to say it directly, and he was immediately a little angry, but he didn't dare to show it and pretended to be crazy.
"Young Master Zhuo Er doesn't know about magic patterns? This is strange... Just now, you were clearly the one who mentioned the magic patterns to me, and you asked me to stand by and watch. So it seems that I guessed wrong?"
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"Don't spit on others!"
Sensing Situ Hou's increasingly fierce gaze, Situ Zhuo's face darkened and he stared at Duan Lingtian with a fierce look, "Who are you? What are your intentions? You actually want to separate me and Brother Hang!"
"Bloody spewing?"
Duan Lingtian smiled, "Young Master Zhuo, you keep saying that I am a slanderer... Otherwise, you and I will each make a thunder-punishment oath to see who is imitating the slander?"
As Duan Lingtian spoke, he raised his hand, ready to crush his fingers and use the blood as a matchmaker to make an oath of thunder punishment. ∧≮网.╊┼.╇
"Who do you think you are, you are not worthy enough for me to make a Thunder Punishment Oath against you!"
A hint of panic flashed deep in Situ Zhuo's eyes, but on the surface he remained strong. After sneering, he didn't even say hello to Situ Hou before preparing to leave with the ghost-faced man behind him.
But at this moment, as if a gust of wind blew by, Situ Hou disappeared from where he was.
Appearing again, they were already blocking the way of Situ Zhuo and the Ghost-faced Man.
"Elder Hou, what do you mean?"
Situ Zhuo frowned and said.
"I think you can each make a thunder punishment oath... In this way, you can each prove your innocence, right?"
Situ Hou said calmly.
Hearing this, Situ Zhuo's face darkened, "Elder Hou, who is he, worthy of standing against me in the Thunder Punishment Pledge? Don't forget, this is the Situ family, you don't want to favor an outsider, right?"
"There is no such thing as favoritism or favoritism. Even if I am helping, I am still helping you and giving you a chance to clear your suspicions."
Situhou continued.
And just as Situ Zhuo's face became more and more gloomy and he was speechless, Situ Hou made another move.
In a blink of an eye, he bypassed Situ Zhuo and directly attacked the ghost-faced man behind Situ Zhuo. The aura of a strong man in the holy realm swept towards the ghost-faced man like a black cloud over the city, causing the unprepared ghost-faced man to change his expression.
Although the strength of the ghost-faced man is good, and has even reached the 'half-step holy realm', after all, he has not broken through to the 'holy realm', and there is still a huge gap between him and the strong men in the holy realm. Net≧≤≠.┼
Facing the menacing Situ Hou, the ghost-faced man did not dare to neglect and used all his methods without reservation.
What a joke!
For him, to have any reservations in front of a strong person in the Holy Realm is to seek death.
However, precisely because of this, the ghost-faced man exposed the fact that he was a 'devil cultivator'.
When the ghost-faced man showed off his power as a demon cultivator, Duan Lingtian, who was standing by, could clearly detect the imminent movement of the 'Devil-Sealing Monument' in the ring.
Duan Lingtian simply ignored it because it was not his turn to take action now.
"It is indeed a demon cultivator!"
After discovering that the ghost-faced man was a demon cultivator, Situ Hou sneered. The aura rising up all over his body became stronger and stronger, and he was obviously serious.
Situ Zhuo's expression changed drastically, and in panic, he crushed a jade slip.
After the jade slip was shattered, an extremely fast stream of light passed across the sky, like six stars, appearing and disappearing in a flash.
"A jade slip with the 'Sacred Mark of Warning' engraved on it?"
Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows. He was no stranger to this kind of jade slip. When he was still in Yueyao Sect, he participated in the 'hunting assessment' and got a similar jade slip.
However, compared with the jade slip he got at that time, Situ Zhuo's jade slip was obviously more advanced. Net≤.┮╇.┼
At the very least, he crushed the jade slip as a warning, and even Situ Hou, a strong man in the Holy Realm, couldn't react.
Of course, this was also the reason why Situ Hou's attention was not on him.
After Situ Hou learned that the ghost-faced man was a demon cultivator, he took action again without any reservation. He easily killed the ghost-faced man with a flip of his hand.
"Situ Zhuo, how dare you collude with the demon cultivator to harm your clan brother!"
After killing the ghost-faced man, Situ Hou looked at Situ Zhuo with a serious look and his voice was extremely cold.
"Elder Hou, I didn't know he was a demon cultivator."
Even at this time, Situ Zhuo still remained calm and said calmly.
"Didn't you know he was a demon cultivator?"
Situ Hou sneered, "You should keep these words to the law enforcement elders."
As soon as he finished speaking, Situ Hou took a step forward, ready to catch Situ Zhuo and take him to the law enforcement hall.
At this moment, another gust of wind blew by, and a middle-aged man with a medium build suddenly appeared in front of Situ Zhuo. He looked at Situ Hou with a calm expression, "Elder Hou, you don't know that my son has committed a crime. Whatever his fault, you have to take him to the law enforcement elder."
"Situ Ming, you gave birth to a wonderful son!"
Seeing the middle-aged man appear, Situ Hou couldn't help but frown, and then snorted coldly: "Today, no matter what, I will take him to the law enforcement hall... Colluding with demon cultivators and killing clan brothers is not a small crime!"
"Situ Ming?"
When Duan Lingtian heard Situ Hou address the middle-aged man, he couldn't help but glance at him. ≈∧∈≤≠.╋┯.╊
Situ Ming, this name he had heard before he came to the Situ family, was the second master of the Situ family. His status in the Situ family was only lower than that of the head of the family, Situ Hao, and the three supreme elders. He was also a saint. A strong person.
As soon as Situ Hou finished speaking, he went to arrest Situ Zhuo again.
This time, Situ Ming didn't stop him, he just watched calmly.
When Situ Hou took Situ Zhuo away, he turned around and took a deep look at Duan Lingtian before following Situ Hou and heading to the 'Law Enforcement Hall' of Situ's family.
"This Situ Ming is not a simple person... Elder Hou may not be able to do anything to Situ Zhuo if he goes."
Duan Lingtian said secretly.
The result was just as Duan Lingtian had guessed. Although Situ Zhuo was punished, it was only three months of facing the wall in the law enforcement hall.
"How come the punishment is so light?"
Duan Lingtian was puzzled by this.
"Situ Zhuo insisted that he didn't know that the ghost-faced man was a demon cultivator before... In addition, he blamed all the demon cultivators for the demon cultivator who was killed by me, saying that the demon cultivator had inscribed the 'magic pattern' , he didn’t know about it. Therefore, the Law Enforcement Hall only gave him a charge of befriending demon cultivators.”
Situ Hou said in a deep voice, with a hint of unwillingness between his brows.
"He should be allowed to make a thunder-punishment oath to prove his innocence... I think he would not dare to make such a thunder-punishment oath. If he doesn't dare, then he is the mastermind behind it."
Duan Lingtian said that he thought this problem could be easily solved.
"not that simple."
Situ Hou smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Lingtian also learned the 'reason' from Situ Hou.
It turns out that the Situ family is not monolithic.
Although the Situ family openly respects the head of the family, Situ Hao, in fact, nearly half of the family's top officials are secretly only the second master of the Situ family, Situ Ming.
As a result, two major factions emerged in the Situ family.
In addition, the Situ family has five Saint Realm experts, and besides Situ Hao and Situ Ming, there are three left.
Situ Hou is one of them, he is on Situ Hao's side.
But one of the other two Saint Realm experts was on Situ Ming's side.
As for the last person, he remained neutral.
The person who remains neutral is also the strongest person in the Situ family. He is the person with the highest seniority in the Situ family. He is one generation higher than Situ Hou, who is one generation higher than Situ Hao. He is called by the people of the Situ family. 'Old Ancestor'.
According to Situ Hou, the 'ancestor' of the Situ family has not been seen for many years.
The last time he appeared was when Situ Hao succeeded as the head of the family.
"I didn't expect the Situ family's situation to be so complicated... So, this matter can only be left alone?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"After all, nothing happened to Xiaohang, so we can only let it go... The Situ family seems to be in a good mood, but in fact it is troubled internally and externally. Even the head of the family does not dare to fall out with Situ Ming's lineage easily. Once there is a falling out, there will inevitably be Shaking the foundation of the Situ family will also give foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Situ Hou sighed, although he was unwilling to do so, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, this was the general trend.
"Foreign enemies? Isn't the royal family of Fufeng Kingdom behind the Situ family?"
Duan Lingtian frowned, "Does anyone still dare to ignore the royal family and go against the Situ family?"
"Royalty?"
When Situ Hou heard this, he shook his head, "Not to mention 'the most ruthless imperial family', the relationship between our Situ family and the royal family is only tied to 'Concubine Li'. And who dares to talk to us Situ?" The opposing forces have more or less similar connections with the royal family, and some have even closer connections with the royal family than our Situ family."
"In fact, the royal family has acquiesced to the overt and covert fights among our families... In fact, the royal family is even more worried about us living in peace. Maybe, when we really live in peace, the royal family will deliberately provoke conflicts among us."
After talking about it, Situ Hou sighed.
Duan Lingtian nodded, he could understand this.
The royal family of the Fufeng Kingdom naturally does not want the seventh-rate forces below to coexist peacefully, because once they coexist peacefully, those seventh-rate forces will undoubtedly rise very quickly, and in the end they may even threaten the status of the royal family.
In order to eliminate this threat, the royal family was naturally happy to watch the 'little devils' below fight.
