City Lord Mo was never willing to beat around the bush when he asked questions, he spoke directly, and his voice was soft. He didn't seem like a serious person, so after facing the City Lord for a long time, Chen Lin was no longer nervous, but relaxed.
Come down.
"No." Chen Lin just finished speaking and was thinking about how to explain it to City Master Mo. City Master Mo said, "Well, I will investigate this matter clearly."
City Lord Mo's attitude surprised Chen Lin. He actually trusted him so much. Could it be that just by relying on his words, he could conclude that Chen Tingnan was not killed by him?
"Are you wondering why I trust you so much?" City Lord Mo asked.
"Yeah." Chen Lin nodded.
"It's very simple, because you are his child." When City Lord Mo said this, he slowly stroked the cane with his hands and gently stood up from the chair.
He, of course, refers to Lin Long, but what Chen Lin didn't expect was that the city lord also knew his father.
The huge palace of Murong's house no longer had the lively atmosphere it once had, and was lifeless. Almost no one dared to speak.
Murong Sheng's face was almost covered with dark clouds. Although he didn't speak for a long time, everyone could see that his hatred for Chen Lin was almost to the extreme.
"Grandfather." Murong Qingnuo bowed aside. Although he was a little timid, he raised his head slightly and glanced up. At this time, Murong Sheng also happened to look at him and looked at each other. He couldn't help but trembled.
He lowered his head weakly. This was not fear. On the contrary, the two of them were almost at the early stage of innate cultivation. This was just respect for their elders.
Since he took over the Murong family, this ancestor has been practicing in seclusion, focusing on breaking through the realm of acquired heaven. He only came forward after those mysterious people suddenly visited. Although he is the head of the Murong family on the surface, in fact, now there are many people in the house.
All matters, big and small, were almost taken over by this ancestor.
"Well, how are the people sent to the palace?" Murong Sheng said calmly.
"They...were dismissed." Murong Qing said.
Snapped!
A crisp sound suddenly sounded, and the chair under his crotch also shattered at the sound, and the dust drifted away.
"Mo Chen!" The corners of Murong Sheng's eyes kept twitching, and veins kept popping out of his tightly clenched fists.
"Ancestor! How about we take down the people from the palace? I don't believe that they can still stop my Murong army!" said an elder of the Murong family. In other words, he is the only elder of the Murong family, among the elders.
After his death, he became the first person in the Murong family besides the head of the family and the ancestor who had the right to speak.
"Yes, that's right. His palace is too arrogant. If we continue to sit idly by and ignore him, we will be oppressed by them for the rest of our lives."
"What are you afraid of if you fight? Don't you have the support of the Qin State? If you kill Mo Chen, the emperor will definitely not know about it in such a remote place." Several children of the Murong family shouted loudly.
"Shut up." After hearing the words of these family members, Murong Sheng's face turned even more livid, and he secretly cursed these people for speaking without thinking, "Mo Chen is better than me!"
With just this sentence, the entire audience fell silent, and no one continued to express their opinions.
Better than Murong Sheng? Just kidding, who else in Qingcheng is a master of the innate realm? They always thought that the palace was ruling Qingcheng with the power of the empire at most, but how could they know that without strength, they wanted to
It is simply impossible to overwhelm a group of Jianghu sects, not even the empire can do it.
They didn't know this, but Murong Sheng knew very well that since there was Master Han whose cultivation was not weaker than his own, how could there be less of an unpredictable city lord?
"Grandfather, that Chen Lin..." Murong Qing whispered.
"No one in the palace can be touched. Even without the support of the empire, Mo Chen alone is enough to drive out all my Murong family." Murong Sheng's expression twitched a little when he said this, and he didn't look like he was in trouble.
Just kidding, everyone took a deep breath after hearing this. Even Murong Qing stared wide-eyed, "So as long as Chen Lin doesn't leave the palace for a day, we can't touch him."
"Then if he never comes out, wouldn't it be an advantage to him?" the elder said angrily.
"No, there is another person who hates him more than us." At this time, Murong Qing sneered.
"Oh? Chen Ruofeng?" Murong Sheng said.
"Yes, the spies came to report that Chen Tingnan never showed up. It turned out to be because he died in the middle of the night a few days ago, and the murderer was Chen Lin."
"Can he kill Chen Tingnan?" Murong Sheng asked with some doubt. However, one of his elders was at the peak of the acquired realm, and such a master could be killed by Chen Lin, so this matter might really be possible.
It was him who did it. Thinking of this, he became filled with anger. If Chen Lin Ru didn't get rid of it, he might be the one to blame.
"Whether he killed it or not, the Chen family thinks that he killed it, right?" Murong Qing smiled coldly.
"Okay, you did a good job in this matter. Since someone wants to be the leader, why don't I let him do it hahaha!" Murong Sheng laughed loudly.
"Report!"
At this moment, a report sound suddenly came from the gate, and then a guard came to the gate and bowed: "Report, someone from the Chen family is here."
"Oh? How many people are there?" Murong Sheng frowned slightly and asked with some doubts. The previous incident was widely spread in Qingcheng. The two innate masters of the Murong family have been exposed. How could the Chen family come in vain?
Death? If this is not the purpose, then...
"Hmph, no matter how many people come, this time they are seeking death on their own. Even if the people from the palace are here, they will definitely not dare to say anything."
"That's right, this is a good opportunity. Kill them first and leave trouble in the future."
"Hey, the Murong family will become the number one overlord in Qingcheng. It's just around the corner." Several juniors all laughed.
"They...only one person came." At this time, the guard Nuonuo said.
"Alone?" After hearing this, Murong Sheng and Murong Qing were also puzzled. Who in the Chen family dared to come here alone? Could it be Chen Ruofeng?
"Let's go and have a look." Murong Sheng said loudly, then he stood up and darted out of the hall.
In the reception hall, Chen Ruofeng took off all the black clothes covering his body and stood respectfully in the center. Surrounding him were the guards of the Murong family. They didn't care because Chen Ruofeng was a former member of the Chen family.
The elders maintained respect for him, but instead glared at Chen Ruofeng fiercely, holding on to the saber in his sleeve.
Chen Ruofeng definitely has no good intentions when he comes this time!
"I didn't expect Elder Chen to be here!" At this moment, a chuckle came from outside the hall. Murong Qing's footsteps moved and he passed through Chen Ruofeng at a very fast speed, then he rose up and floated away.
He fell down and sat on the chair in the hall.
"I haven't seen you for many days. Murong's family master is still charming." Chen Ruofeng smiled bitterly. Murong Qing's age has long been over seventy or eighty years old. He is similar to Chen Tingnan, but his cultivation has reached the innate level.
After entering the realm, his appearance has become much younger, and now he looks similar to him. Alas, these years of cultivation are really unforgiving.
"What? What's the matter with coming to Murong's house today? Or...are you planning to join my Murong family?" Murong Qing didn't give him a good look, or it could be said that the relationship between the two families had already been broken fifteen years ago.
Already broken.
Hearing Murong Qing's words, Chen Ruofeng's face became very ugly, but he immediately changed and said with a bitter smile: "That's not true, it's just that I have something to ask for at this time."
"Oh? Your Chen family actually asked me for something? Haha, things have really turned around. Back then, I begged your family and they ignored me, and even betrothed your little girl to them, without even looking at us. Today, it's unexpected
Do you want to come and beg me?" Murong Qing snorted coldly.
Chen Ruofeng's smile froze, and he bowed with some lack of confidence, not daring to look directly at Murong Qing: "What happened back then was purely a misunderstanding. Now my sister has also been punished. We shouldn't pursue these issues anymore.
, I also hope that the head of the Murong family, Haihan."
"Hmph, my Murong family has lost all face, and you actually asked me to let you go? Chen Ruofeng, Chen Ruofeng, could it be that you were dazzled by Chen Tingnan's death, and you really thought that you would be able to come here alone?
Can it resolve the feud between our two families?" Murong Qing laughed and said, "Let me tell you, if it weren't for the Wangfu's presence, your Chen family would have been doomed long ago. It would be better for you to withdraw from Qingcheng and give up your position as the number one overlord.
I, maybe I will consider not killing them all."
Murong Qing's words were already very obvious. If Chen Ruofeng didn't agree, even though it wouldn't be possible to wipe out the Chen family head-on, it would not be difficult to destroy them.
Hearing these words, Chen Ruofeng said with a pale face: "That's exactly why I came here."
"Oh?" Murong Qing's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up from the chair.
Chen Ruofeng fumbled in his sleeve for a while, and finally took out a stack of paper and spread it out in his hands. He looked at Murong Qing with peaceful eyes and said with a smile: "This is the title deed of all the medicinal materials shops of the Chen family. I have
I can give it to you."
"Haha Chen Ruofeng, are you kidding me? Your father refused to hand it over to me until he died. Now that he is dead, you would do such a heinous thing. Do you have ulterior motives?" Murong Qing naturally wouldn't do it.
I believe that Chen Ruofeng, a cunning disciple, will hand over the things to him.
"Ruofeng is just here to ask for something. If the head of the family can agree to my request, these things will be yours." Chen Ruofeng said bravely.
"Haha, tell me." Murong Qing was even more happy when he saw a hint of sincerity in Chen Ruofeng's eyes.
"If the palace hands that little beast Chen Lin over to your Murong family, I also beg you to hand him over to our Chen family."
"Why?" Murong Qing's expression changed slightly and he said calmly.
"Because he not only killed my son, but also my father. He is the enemy of the entire Chen family." At this point, Chen Ruofeng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, with anger surging from his eyes.
And out.
"He also killed members of my Murong family." Murong Qing said coldly.
"But he is from my Chen family!" Chen Ruofeng continued coldly.
"Yes, that's right. Just because he is a member of your Chen family, so if he kills a member of my Murong family, your Chen family will not be able to escape from it! See you off." Murong Qing no longer liked listening to Chen Ruofeng's words.
With a wave of his hand, the guards on the sides all moved out, one on the left and the other on the right, holding Chen Ruofeng in the middle.
"Murong Qing, you..." Chen Ruofeng pointed at Murong Qing with a trembling finger, but as soon as he moved his finger, the paper in his hand was suddenly pulled and taken away. As he looked, he found that a
In the hands of the Murong family.
"Keep this thing," the elder sneered.
"You... you Murong family are bastards!" Chen Ruofeng cursed loudly. Just as he was about to say something, he was hit by a sudden punch, and then his whole body flew straight out of the hall.
"Let's go, get out of here!" The guards did not respect him because he was the elder of the Chen family. Instead, they lifted up their hands and threw them directly outside the door of the Murong family. The land deed of the Chen family also
They all stayed at Murong's house.
After Chen Ruofeng was beaten out, Murong Sheng slowly walked out from the back of the hall. He stared at the door intently and said coldly: "You did a good job."
"Grandpa, I think someone will take care of Chen Lin for us now." After saying that, Murong Qing cracked the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly.
