"Ah? Destroying Senior Su's practice? This...I, I really didn't know it would be like this. Then, what should we do now?"
Bai Zhuling shook her head in panic, glanced at Su Twelve quietly from the corner of her eye, and then cautiously continued to ask.
She had no doubt about Ren Ze's words.
"Don't be afraid, Grandpa and Senior Su are here."
Ren Ze grinned, and then his eyes fell on Su Twelve.
"Fellow Daoist Su, this person died suddenly on the spot after fighting with you. The purpose of the person behind the scenes must be to sow discord between you and me and the Night Clan. From the information revealed by Zhu Ling, it is very likely that he is a member of the lineage of the Great Elder of the Night Clan.
"
"Of course, no matter who it is, under the current situation, the other party's strategy is undoubtedly successful. In the eyes of the Night Clan people, you are the murderer of this person."
"What should we do next? Do you have any ideas?"
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Su Twelve didn't change his expression.
After pondering for a moment, he continued to look forward, "Su plans to continue to the mansion of the leader of the Night Clan. However, this trip is dangerous and unpredictable, and the person who was injured is also Su. It is the best choice for fellow Taoist Ren to leave the Night Clan now."
"Fellow Daoist Su, what you said is wrong. Since you and I are walking together, we should face difficulties together. Besides, Wantong is still in the patriarch's mansion. Due to circumstances and reasons, the little old man has no reason to leave."
"Even if the Night Clan is a dragon's den and a tiger's den, we can still fight through it if we join forces."
Ren Ze's expression straightened and he spoke to Su Twelve seriously.
Nodding, Su Twelve stopped persuading and turned to look at Bai Zhuling.
Before he could speak, Ren Ze's voice sounded first.
"Zhu Ling, please continue to lead the way and take us to the patriarch's mansion."
"Okay...okay!"
At this time, Bai Zhuling was already in a state of despair. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded quickly and continued walking forward.
The mansion of the leader of the Night Clan, located in the Dark Night City
The most central.
This time, the group of three people moved forward without any obstacles, and successfully arrived at the gate of a grand mansion.
The door is open in front of you, and you can see the spacious courtyard inside.
Just when the three of them felt strange, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and then an old man with fluffy white hair and a slightly short stature walked out with his head lowered and a hurried expression.
"Third Elder?"
Seeing the person coming, Bai Zhuling trembled slightly and called out the person's identity.
"Little girl Zhuling?! Huh? These two are the seniors from the outside world that you said before? Why did you bring them here?"
The third elder subconsciously raised his head, and as he spoke, his eyes swept over Su Twelve and Ren Ze, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
Bai Zhuling said carefully: "Didn't you tell the clan leader that you want me to bring the person here directly?"
"This time and that time, nothing happened before. But now, the steward of the Grand Elder's Mansion has died in the hands of the two seniors you brought."
The third elder continued to speak, and as he spoke, his peripheral vision continued to glance at Su Twelve and the two of them. His tone became colder, his face became gloomy, and he became slightly unkind.
Bai Zhuling said hurriedly: "But...what happened today was clearly caused by Butler Shen's intention to make things difficult. Moreover, Senior Su did not kill anyone. Someone else secretly did the death of Butler Shen."
"Huh? Do it secretly? Are you sure?"
The third elder was stunned when he heard this, and stared at Bai Zhuling as he spoke.
"Confirmed! Senior Su at that time..."
Bai Zhuling carefully looked back at the two people behind her, then nodded and hurriedly opened her mouth to explain.
In the previous conversation between Su Twelve and Ren Ze, she was
I ignored it for a while, even though my mind was confused at the time and I didn’t fully understand it.
But along the way, I kept thinking about it, and I roughly figured out what was going on.
1510, tell what happened and the analysis of Su Twelve and the others.
After explaining, he hesitated and quickly added:
"With Senior Su's strength, if he really wanted to kill people, Butler Shen would never have a chance. Besides, Senior Su came here to seek help from our Night Clan, so how could he kill for no reason?!"
The third elder nodded, and most of the gloom on his face disappeared.
"What you said does make some sense."
"What should we do now? Can I take Senior Su and the others to continue looking for the clan leader?" Bai Zhuling breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.
The third elder shook his head decisively and said: "No, the death of Butler Shen has made the first elder extremely angry. Now he is furious and is holding the clan leader accountable."
"The Great Elder has extraordinary strength, but he is the number one person in our Night Clan. If you bring people there now, you are not helping them, but only harming them."
Bai Zhuling said nervously: "But, Butler Shen's death really has nothing to do with Senior Su and the others!"
"It doesn't matter, what you are saying now is just speculation and one-sided words." The third elder looked sad.
Bai Zhuling couldn't help but be stunned, "Third Elder, don't you believe what I said?"
"You are a good boy. The immortal cultivator you can trust is naturally worthy of my trust. Moreover, I think the patriarch is also willing to believe your words."
"But the patriarch and I alone can't believe it. Do you think the great elder will accept such a statement?"
The third elder looked at Bai Zhuling and first confirmed Bai Zhuling's question.
Immediately, he mentioned the great elder and asked with a wry smile.
"The Great Elder has always been concerned about helping Senior Su.
I didn’t agree with it from the beginning. Butler Shen suddenly provoked and was secretly killed. Maybe the Great Elder was behind it..."
Bai Zhuling was secretly anxious and said hurriedly.
Before he could finish speaking, Ren Ze pulled his arm and interrupted what he was about to say.
"Zhu Ling, don't say anything without any evidence."
On the side, Su Twelve’s eyes fell on the third elder of the Night Clan in front of him, he cupped his hands and took the opportunity to speak.
"Su Twelve, I have met the third elder!"
"The third elder of the Night Clan, White-headed Man, has met Senior Su."
"Thank you, Third Elder, for trusting Su."
"Senior Su is joking, you and I have never met each other, how can we trust you? I just trust little girl Zhuling."
Regarding Su Twelve, the Third Elder Pulsatilla's tone was obviously much colder.
Su Twelve didn't care, and continued: "It's Su's fault that it caused trouble to the nobles as soon as they came. The third elder just said that the eldest elder is holding the clan leader accountable in the mansion?"
"Exactly!"
"Su dares to ask, how will this matter be resolved in the end?"
"If the Great Elder must investigate, it is very likely that the entire Night Clan will take action against the two of you. After all, even if someone is causing trouble secretly, it is just a guess now."
After a slight hesitation, the Third Elder Pulsatilla glanced at Su Twelve and Ren Ze.
"It seems that the Great Elder's power in the Night Clan is still higher than that of the clan leader?" Su Twelve squinted his eyes, his expression calm.
"In this world, after all, the strong are respected and strength is supreme. The two seniors should know this better than me."
The white-headed man smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Although he didn't say much, Su Twelve could still feel keenly that he was quite dissatisfied with the great elder.
