"I heard that the two little boys from the Gongsun family are in the city lord's mansion?"
The great elder looked at Zhao Cangqiong and asked directly without any nonsense.
"Yes."
Zhao Cangqiong's heart sank slightly. Did he come for Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Liang?
"They were kidnapped by the Shengtian Sect and later escaped back... City Master Zhao, can you believe it?"
The great elder asked again.
"This matter is still under investigation... we will definitely get to the bottom of it."
Zhao Cangqiong said.
"No need to go to so much trouble. I am good at soul searching. If you search the souls of the two of them, you will know whether they have joined the Shengtian Cult."
The great elder said calmly.
"Elder Qingpeng..."
Zhao Cangqiong frowned, he wanted to search for the souls of two people? Are they useless?
He didn't care about the life and death of Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Liang, but if they let Qingpeng search their souls in the city lord's palace, how would they explain to Gongsun Zhen and Shanhailou?
At this moment, he regretted not letting Gongsun Zhen take him away earlier.
The main thing is that no one expected that the Great Elder would attack two people as soon as he came to Sifang City.
Normally, if you have a dispute, you should go to Gongsun Zhen.
After all, Gongsun Zhen was suspected of Wu Qingming's death.
"Why, does Zhao Cheng want to reject me?"
The great elder raised his eyelids and stared at Zhao Cangqiong with lifeless eyes.
Zhao Cangqiong felt the great elder's gaze, as if a thousand kilograms of boulders were weighing on his body, and he felt quite stressed for a moment.
"Senior Qingpeng, long time no see."
Ji Wuji took a step forward and cupped his hands.
"You came to Sifang City a few days ago. I happened to have something to do and didn't see you."
"This matter has nothing to do with the Void Sword Sect."
The great elder glanced at Ji Wuji, his tone still calm.
"What, you want to get involved on behalf of the Void Sword Sect?"
"Elder Qingpeng's words are serious."
Ji Wuji's heart skipped a beat, wasn't this old guy too aggressive?
"If you don't want to get involved, then don't say anything."
After the great elder finished speaking, he stopped looking at Ji Wuji.
"..."
Ji Wuji's veins on his forehead twitched a few times, he gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger.
"Elder Qingpeng, this is not something I refuse or not, it's just that I can't do it."
Zhao Cangqiong took a deep breath, looked at the great elder, and said slowly.
He was a little panicked, but there were some things he couldn't stop saying just because he was panicked.
There are some things that you can’t just not do just because you’re panicking.
He is the lord of Sifang City, and he has the responsibility to say something and do something!
"..."
The great elder stared at Zhao Cangqiong and said nothing.
This silent pressure swept out with him as the center.
The strong men in Qingyun Tower were also surprised that Zhao Cangqiong refused like this?
No face given at all?
Zhao Cangqiong met the great elder's gaze without any retreat.
The eyes of the two people collided silently in the air.
Ji Wuji and Huai Tianlei were also under pressure.
They looked at the Great Elder, then at Zhao Cangqiong, and secretly admired... This guy still has courage.
"Ah."
Suddenly, the great elder laughed.
"City Lord Zhao, what if I have to do it?"
"Then this junior will only be offended."
Zhao Cangqiong said in a deep voice.
"He would not hesitate to involve Broken Star Palace in it and make Qingyun Tower an enemy?"
The great elder's smile faded and he asked.
"This has nothing to do with Broken Star Palace."
Zhao Cangqiong shook his head.
"This is something that the four forces in Sifang City must face together... I believe that Senior Ji and Senior Huai will not allow such a thing to happen."
"..."
Ji Wuji and Huai Tianlei, who had been admiring Zhao Cangqiong's courage just now, suddenly wanted to curse.
This guy directly dragged the two of them into it.
"The four forces? Hehe, maybe it's time to change the four forces in Sifang City."
The great elder looked at Zhao Cangqiong and sneered.
"How about Broken Star Palace, Void Sword Sect, Jiuding Sect, plus me, Qingyun Tower?"
Listening to the words of the great elder, Zhao Cangqiong and the others were shocked. Is Qingyun Tower going to take this opportunity to take over Sifang City?
"We'll talk about this later. Today, I'm going to go see those two brats from Shanhai Tower."
The great elder said solemnly.
"No one can stop it."
"Elder Qingpeng, the two of them are in very bad condition and are very likely to become useless. You are a senior expert, and if you are like this with two juniors, if word spreads, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation."
Zhao Cangqiong refused to give in.
"Waste people? Since they are waste people, what are they left for? Just in time, I got rid of them... Maybe they have joined the Shengtian Sect and even become the link between the Shengtian Sect and Gongsun Zhen."
The great elder said coldly.
"You mean, Senior Gongsun and the Shengtian Sect..."
Zhao Cangqiong's heart moved.
"Otherwise? Based on what he has done recently, do you think it is normal?"
The great elder said, looking at Ji Wuji and Huai Tianlei.
"As for Wu Qingming's death, it can be put aside in front of the Shengtian Sect... Everyone in the Shengtian Sect can kill him."
"..."
Ji Wuji and Huai Tianlei were speechless. You are using the pretense of "righteousness" to get rid of Gongsun Zhen!
Apparently this old guy felt that finding Wu Qingming's murderer was too much trouble.
In other words, it doesn't matter how Wu Qingming died.
The important thing is that this is an opportunity to attack Shanhai Tower.
For Gongsun Zhen to become a member of the 'Shengtian Sect', it would not only deal with him personally, but also be a threat to Shanhailou.
If you think about it this way, it makes sense why the great elder came to see Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Liang.
He wants to use these two people as a breakthrough point... No matter whether they belong to the Shengtian Sect or not, after searching their souls, they will definitely be members of the Shengtian Sect!
The Great Elder... definitely has such a method!
"It's fine if you don't take action. Once you take action, it's a killing move."
Ji Wuji sighed in his heart, wondering how Gongsun Zhen and Shanhailou would respond?
They alone should not be able to stop the Great Elder.
After all, they didn't think about actually going to war with Qingyun Tower.
Just when Zhao Cangqiong was thinking about how to deal with it, there was a violent aura, coming from far to near.
"Gongsun Zhen is here."
Huai Tianlei looked up.
Soon, Gongsun Zhen led the powerful men from Shanhai Tower from far to near, and landed in the city lord's palace.
Zhao Cangqiong breathed a sigh of relief. Gongsun Zhen had arrived, so there would be nothing wrong with him.
No matter what happens to Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Liang, Gongsun Zhen will deal with it.
"Shanhailou Gongsun Zhen has met Elder Qingpeng."
Gongsun Zhen looked at the great elder and raised his hands.
Although the conflict between the two sides has been made clear and they want to kill each other, since there is no war, the due etiquette of the world still needs to be maintained.
"Um."
The great elder nodded.
"Gongsun Zhen, hand over Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Liang."
"They are members of my Gongsun family, and they are also members of Shanhailou. Elder Qingpeng just wants me to hand it over with just one sentence?"
Gongsun Zhen said in a deep voice.
When he faced the great elder, he felt panic in his heart, but even though he was panic-stricken, he still had some confidence.
After all, the other party is from Qingyun Tower, so it is impossible to kill him in public.
Chen Xiao's senior brother was unknown, which made him even more unsure.
"Why, are you afraid that I will learn something from them?"
The great elder asked slowly.
"They have become useless people. If they really joined the Shengtian Sect, they would not end up like this."
Gongsun Zhen shook his head.
"As an ancestor, I should save their lives."
"Oh, even you are suspected of being a member of the Shengtian Sect. How can you save their lives?"
The great elder's sneer became even stronger, and the aura around him also changed.
"Since you want to protect their lives, then I... let me use you to search for souls!"
After hearing the great elder's words, Gongsun Zhen's expression changed. Was he going to take action?
"For the safety of Tianwaitian, I will visit Shanhai Tower in the future to explain. I believe Shanhai Tower can also understand."
After the great elder finished speaking, the black robe on his body bulged automatically without any wind.
"Elder Qingpeng..."
The expressions of Zhao Cangqiong and the others also changed. The development of the situation was different from what they imagined.
"This is a matter between Qingyun Tower and Shanhai Tower, as well as a matter between Qingyun Tower and Shengtian Sect. Anyone who interferes without authorization is equivalent to being an enemy of Qingyun Tower and the entire Tianwaitian... I will naturally regard them as members of Shengtian Sect.
People, kill them!"
After the great elder finished speaking, he went straight to Gongsun Zhen.
The strong men from Qingyun Tower behind him also broke out in an instant, killing the strong men from Shanhai Tower.
In the previous battle, Shanhailou was at a disadvantage.
But today is different, the great elder is here!
Gongsun Zhen retreated violently, trying to distance himself from the great elder, but there was a gap in strength between the two, so it was not so easy to dodge.
Bang bang bang...
The war broke out in an instant.
"what to do?"
Zhao Cangqiong looked at Ji Wuji and Huai Tianlei and asked.
"My suggestion is... take a look first."
Ji Wuji said slowly.
"If we go up at this time, it will only become more chaotic."
"Anyway, I don't want to fight that old guy."
Huai Tianlei glanced at the elder who was pressing down on Gongsun Zhen and muttered.
"Then let's take a look first."
Zhao Cangqiong thought for a while and made a decision.
It is not appropriate to join the war rashly.
"Fortunately, Chen Xiao and Lu Hongyun are gone...otherwise what might have happened if they got involved."
Such an idea suddenly came to Zhao Cangqiong's mind.
"Elder Qingpeng, are you planning to start a war with Shanhai Tower?"
Gongsun Zhen roared loudly and backed away.
He was no match for the great elder, and with his injury still unhealed, he couldn't stop him at all.
"I said that I will personally explain to Shanhailou afterwards."
The great elder's beard and hair were spread out, his body was slightly thin and short, but he exuded a terrifying aura.
Gongsun Zhen wanted to run, but he couldn't escape the great elder's attack.
As for what to explain to Shanhailou, he will be dead by then, and there is no point in explaining it anymore.
Just like now, does it matter how Wu Qingming died...?
It doesn't matter at all!
"Come and help!"
Gongsun Zhen shouted, looking for someone to help.
However, the strong men from Shanhai Tower were blocked by the strong men from Qingyun Tower, making it difficult for them to support them.
As for Zhao Cangqiong and the others... they haven't thought about stepping forward for the time being.
"In Tian Jueyuan, you, Shanhai Tower, killed my Qingyun Tower, and now in Sifang City, you are even bullying me, Qingyun Tower... Do you really think that I, Qingyun Tower, are easy to bully?"
The great elder finished speaking and disappeared.
boom.
The next second, Gongsun Zhen vomited blood and flew out.
