The Zhou family was instantly wiped out by the powerful master who was suspected of being the leader of the Pudu Sect. The mansion was reduced to ruins, with a forest of dead bodies and thick blood, which once suppressed the falling white snow.
In addition, it is also suspected that a strong master of the demonic way has appeared, with superb martial arts skills, competing with the strong master who destroyed the sect.
It's a pity that because the incident happened suddenly and the distance was too far, so we hurried and hurried slowly, but in the end we arrived a step too late. No trace of the two great masters could be found anymore, which made people feel uneasy.
Beitang Ang, Beitang He and his son, as well as almost everyone present, all looked surprisingly ugly.
The Zhou family was destroyed today. Who knows that the powerful master will not suddenly kill him in the future? What should he do then?
Of course, the Yanping County Prince's Palace seems to have the royal grandmaster sitting in charge at this time, and is not very afraid of sneak attacks, but it is different for other families. The grandmaster's combat power is almost invisible, so naturally he cannot resist, and he will not be able to resist if he is upset. Difficult to understand.
"The traitor is hateful. One day when the government army is fully trained, he will lead a large army to break through the Pudu Sect's main altar and capture and kill this beast."
Beitang He's hatred is hard to quell. Originally, today's excellent situation, combined with the powerful master hiding in secret, was enough to lay down the general regulations for establishing the palace army, and seize the huge power in the hands of the palace.
Now being interrupted by this sudden incident, we can only talk about it another day.
However, today he has released a lot of violent information, and the Zhou family has been wiped out, which has alerted the snake. These rats in the city will not give up so easily.
Sure enough, when Meng Zhao was still thinking about how to occupy the Zhou family's legacy properties, a wisp of tiny voices suddenly sounded in his ears, but it was a top expert who used the method of transmitting sounds into secrets to tell him something...
The night was deep, the chill was like the tide, and the heavy snow fell like catkins, making the earth a pure white color far and near.
In a library in the inner city, the fragrance of ink is strong, the rhyme of paper is like smoke, and the warmth is like rippling warm water.
About forty people who had just appeared at the royal palace's night banquet gathered here again.
Everyone is sitting separately. Although there are no fine wines and delicacies at hand for the royal banquet, a cup of tea and a few snacks add some elegance and fun.
Meng Zhao was among them, sitting upright, his eyes wandering, observing the people gathered here, thinking secretly.
There is no doubt that the number of people gathered in the library at this time, although far smaller than the nearly two hundred people at the palace night banquet, already includes all the forces in Lingwu.
The reason why I say this is because the remaining nearly one hundred and twenty people are basically related to the forty or so people in this library. They are either superiors and subordinates, masters and subordinates, or they are relatives or allies. Very close.
To put it bluntly, these forty people are the most representative and powerful leaders of the more than forty forces in Lingwu City. The rest who have not been invited are either subordinate units of these forces or Subordinate forces that rely on in-laws to gain access are not taken seriously and are not qualified to enter this gathering.
For example, the four leaders of small forces that Meng Zhao saved in the palace hall were not among them.
The power of the newcomers is also relatively clearly divided.
Part of it is the family alliance headed by Ding, Xun, and Zhuo families. They are local forces and are very powerful. Even if Zhou Gushan is not dead, the Zhou family is not qualified to receive the invitation given the current strength position of the Zhou family.
Some of them are outsiders such as Meng Zhao, Zhai Hao, Li Li, and Wei Gang. Their own strength is one aspect, and more importantly, they represent connections with the outside world. If they have no backers, or the backers are not strong enough, they are not enough to receive invitations. .
There are also some strong men who are from the local area but are separated from the family alliance, such as Ning Busi, the head of the Sifang Escort Bureau, General Miao He Jiuzhi, and top wealthy businessman Yin Baiqi.
These people are not part of the Family Alliance, but they either have strong foundations and strong strength, or they have extensive connections with the outside world and have strong backing. Even the Family Alliance does not dare to provoke them easily.
The last part is the representatives of the underground forces in Lingwu City. Even during the night banquet at the palace, they never showed up. They all wore masks to hide their identities. They were not many in number and basically did not speak. provoke.
Meng Zhao did know one of the people wearing a macaque mask. He represented an organization called Tiande Pavilion. He mainly engaged in intelligence selling and also worked part-time as an assassin.
Under normal circumstances, underground organizations like this only live in the dark world and do dirty work, and they will never come to attend any royal night banquet.
God knows which family has been tricked by them before. Whether they have any grudge or not, they will definitely have a bad look on them.
But this time I came, it was most likely that I had received some rumors and took the initiative to participate, hoping to get involved.
No matter which force they belong to, as long as they live in Lingwu City, they will inevitably be affected by the general trend of the city.
If you don’t want to follow the crowd and let it happen, you can only face the difficulties and actively join them.
Meng Zhao had bought information from this organization, and was deeply impressed by Tiande Pavilion, so he was considered very powerful.
The person who organized the gathering after the night banquet was undoubtedly the representative of the local forces, the Family Alliance.
After everyone arrived, the head of the Ding family, the old man of the Xun family, and the head of the Zhuo family began to walk around, talking to this one, and having a relationship with that one. They were polite and careful in their words, which could suppress the library. Everyone inside.
Putting aside all additional factors, in terms of pure strength, as far as Lingwu City is concerned, the Family Alliance is the well-deserved overlord. As the leader of the three families, they naturally have enough prestige and ability to guide this gathering.
When the atmosphere was almost heated, Mr. Xun hummed, which reached everyone's ears, attracting everyone's attention to him, and then he said,
"Everyone, today the three of me have invited everyone to gather together in this library for one purpose.
I just want to brainstorm and discuss the future for all of us. This is for the benefit of everyone. I hope everyone can put aside past grudges and prejudices and work together to overcome difficulties together. "
This sentence seems to have no beginning or end, but in fact, the more than forty people present here all know it clearly.
The patriarch of a family surnamed Liu, who had always been familiar with the Xun family, said,
"Mr. Xun, Mr. Liu is well aware of what you said. Looking at the actions of the Prince's Palace today and the overwhelming power of the Grandmaster, there are some things that really need to be planned in advance to deal with unexpected events.
I also know that this is not the time to care about personal grudges. I am willing to put everything aside and follow Mr. Xun to get through this critical moment. "
As soon as he finished speaking, there were more than ten people's voices rising and falling. The general meaning was the same as that of the head of the Liu family, but those who followed him were either Mr. Xun, the head of the Ding family, or the head of the Zhuo family.
It can be seen that they are all closely related to the above three families.
As for the others, they remained silent and watched the changes.
