Chapter 1706: Frightened to His Knees
"team leader?"
Zhu Wei and the city lord were stunned.
Isn’t the captain Lord Leng Yue?
How could it be someone else?
Zhu Wei asked in confusion: "City Lord, what's going on?"
The city lord frowned and said, "Mr. Leng Yue asked you to find the captain, which means that neither she nor Master You Mo is the captain. Then who is this captain?"
"Could it be..."
Zhu Wei suddenly seemed to have thought of something, his eyes were full of disbelief!
With such a reminder, the city lord also thought of someone.
Masked man!
The two looked at each other with expressions on their faces as if they were flipping through a book, and were finally replaced by deep shock!
That’s right, it’s this masked man!
Since arriving in the Holy City, the masked man has never appeared. This is obviously unreasonable!
You know, if the masked man was really a follower, he would definitely follow the two adults all the time, riding in front and behind, but he didn't.
Take this time as an example, the two adults were so busy that they didn't ask the masked man to help, but asked people from the City Lord's Mansion to assist. What does this mean?
This shows that the status of the masked man is higher than that of the two adults, and the two adults have no right to order him!
Thinking of this, the faces of the two city lords couldn't help but have thick bitter smiles.
They never expected that this masked man, who was underestimated and ignored by them, was the real person in power!
The city lord said bitterly: "Zhu Wei, I'm so sorry. It was my miscalculation this time."
"It's not your fault, City Lord, it's my fault. I already discovered that the masked man was unusual when we first met, but in the end..."
At this point, he really couldn't go on, he felt so bitter and regretful.
In fact, this matter is indeed the fault of the city lord. If the city lord hadn't repeatedly assured him, how could he underestimate the masked man?
But even if the city lord is at fault, he doesn't dare to blame him. After all, the Holy City belongs to the city lord. If he offends the city lord, it will be extremely difficult for the Zhu family to gain a foothold in the holy city in the future.
What's more, this matter requires the help of the city lord.
Zhu Wei stood up, raised his hands and begged: "City Lord, no matter what, you have to help me this time."
The city lord said: "Hasn't your daughter already entered the temple? Why not let her come to help intercede? For the sake of friendship, I believe that the masked man may give your son a chance."
Zhu Weidao said: "I have asked my servant to inform Yan'er, but Yan'er is currently in Soul Seal City and is busy with official duties. I'm afraid I won't be able to rush back to the Holy City in a short time."
The city lord wondered: "She didn't go directly to the temple, why did she go to Soul Sealing City again?"
"I heard from Yan'er that she accidentally offended a big shot in the temple and was sent to Soul Sealing City for training by the master of the third hall."
Speaking of this, Zhu Wei couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Oh, I thought that if Yan'er entered the temple, my Zhu family would be able to prosper from now on, but unexpectedly, Yan'er was sent away, Feng'er was teased about his qualifications, and my Zhu family It’s true that misfortunes never come singly!”
The city lord warned: "Don't worry, people come up with solutions. I'll go and get busy first. You stay here and think about it carefully. Don't be tempted. Wait until you think of a perfect solution before you go to meet the masked man."
Zhu Weidao: "I understand, I will not act recklessly."
The city lord nodded and strode away, leaving Zhu Wei alone in deep thought.
The same scene is happening somewhere somewhere!
But the difference is that Zhu Wei only knelt down a little, but there was a person in this place who couldn't afford to kneel down.
This person is the leader of the Holy Soul Clan!
He knelt in front of a palace, silently, but burst into tears and his eyes were full of pleading.
On the ground in front of the Holy Soul Clan Leader, there was a young man lying flat on his back. This man's eyes were tightly closed, his face and lips were extremely white, and there was no trace of blood. He was Chen Qingsong, whose godhead was shattered by Wutian.
The palace in front of the father and son is the residence of the leader of the Tiandu Zhan Clan!
Five years ago, the leader of the Holy Soul Clan took Chen Qingsong to the Tiandu War Clan, but after learning of his intention, the leader of the Tiandu Clan immediately sent people to blast him out.
This is the only life-saving straw. How can the leader of the Holy Soul Clan leave just like that?
So, he hugged his son, took three steps and knelt down, and walked towards the residence of the Tiandu patriarch. He wanted to impress the Tiandu patriarch with his sincerity.
And during the whole process, he didn't use divine power to protect him. His knees were worn out, and his bones could be seen. He walked and knelt all the way, and his blood was stained all the way!
The members of the Tiandu War Clan originally planned to drive them away by force, but when they saw this scene, they all couldn't bear it. In any case, the Holy Soul War Clan was also a branch of the Tiandu War Clan, so everyone chose to turn a blind eye. , let him go.
After half a month, the Holy Soul Clan leader hugged his son and finally arrived in front of the Tiandu Clan leader's palace, and then he knelt down like this!
In other words, he has been kneeling for five years!
In order to save Chen Qingsong, he completely put down his face and fought hard.
But in the past five years, the Tiandu clan leader has not appeared once, as if he doesn't know that there is a person outside who can't afford to kneel!
But on this day, the closed door of the palace finally opened slowly. A middle-aged man wearing a purple and gold robe strode out of the palace and stood on the steps in front of the Holy Soul Clan leader, looking down at the father and son.
Seeing this, the Holy Soul Clan leader immediately started kowtowing and begging: "Clan leader, please save Qingsong for the sake of our being of the same bloodline!"
The Tiandu clan leader said: "Although the Holy Soul War Clan is a branch, I have always treated you as my own family and sent you a lot of training resources every year, but what about you? When I asked Chen Qingsong to join the Tiandu War Clan, you said you would never agree to it."
The Tiandu clan leader changed the subject and sneered: "Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You just want to rely on Chen Qingsong, set up your own clan, and break away from the fate of the branch. Will I lend a helping hand to someone as ruthless and ambitious as you?"
"But..."
At this point, the Tiandu clan leader hesitated.
The Holy Soul Clan leader hurriedly said, "The Clan leader has something to say. As long as Qingsong can be saved, I am willing to do anything for you."
"That's what you said."
The Tiandu Clan leader raised his lips slightly and said, "Hundreds of years ago, I followed the Holy Lord to the heaven to snatch the godhood and body of the ancient war god. Afterwards, I was fortunate to get a petal of the fairy flower from Lord Xuanyuan Ao, which saved Chen Qingsong's life. But from today on, Chen Qingsong is a member of my Tiandu War Clan, and has nothing to do with your Holy Soul War Clan. And you and your son must sign a master-servant contract with me!"
"Master-servant contract!"
The Holy Soul Clan leader's face suddenly changed!
Once the master-servant contract is signed, it means that you have to work for the Tiandu War Clan for your whole life. The wish to break away from the branch and trample the Tiandu War Clan under your feet will become a distant dream!
But if you don't agree, Qingsong will die. Once Qingsong dies, the Holy Soul War Clan will have no chance to turn over!
After weighing the pros and cons, the Holy Soul Clan leader finally chose to agree.
Because only by surviving can you have a chance!
And if you die, you will have nothing!
The Holy Soul Clan leader nodded and said, "I agree!"
The Tiandu Clan leader said, "Come in with me. It just so happens that the Holy Temple is recruiting judges now. When Qingsong wakes up, he will go directly to participate in the election."
"Yes!"
The Holy Soul Clan leader responded respectfully, and then got up from the ground, but stumbled and fell to the ground again!
After kneeling for five consecutive years, his legs had long been numb!
"Now you know the taste of suffering for your own actions? If you had agreed to me earlier, these things would never have happened."
The Tiandu Clan leader sneered, waved his hand, rolled up the Holy Soul Clan leader and his son, and strode into the palace. With a clang, the palace door closed quickly.
Let's talk about Zhu Wei!
In the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion, he thought about it and couldn't come up with a good idea, so he prepared to go home first.
But just as he walked out of the door, a woman in red came towards him.
Seeing this girl, Zhu Wei was overjoyed and hurriedly walked up to her and asked, "Yan'er, how did you get back so quickly?"
The woman in red said in a deep voice, "My younger brother is in trouble, how can I not be anxious? After receiving the message, I immediately put down the affairs in my hands, used the portal, and rushed back to the Holy City directly. Father, how is my younger brother's situation?"
"Not optimistic, it's all my fault, I have to be smart and send gifts." Zhu Wei blamed himself.
The woman in red smiled and said, "Father, you are too concerned about my younger brother's future, so you lose your mind. Father, don't blame yourself. I am also a member of the Temple now. I believe that those who come to recruit judges will give me a chance after seeing me."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Zhu Wei smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman in red said, "My younger brother's business is my business. Let's go, take me to see the captain."
"Okay."
Zhu Wei hurriedly led the way.
After a while, the father and daughter came to the villa where Wu Tian was.
The woman in red bowed and said, "Zhu Yan from Resource Hall, I'm here to visit you. Please come out and see me, brother from Judgment Hall."
"Zhu Yan?"
On the third floor, Wu Tian was slightly stunned. Why did he feel that this name sounded familiar?
He stood up and walked to the window and looked down.
Immediately, the corners of his mouth slightly raised!
I didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence in the world.
It turned out that this Zhu Yan was the woman who had embarrassed him in Resource Hall. In the end, because of him, she was sent to the secular world by the Third Hall Master for training.
And from the current situation, this Zhu Yan should be Zhu Wei's daughter. In this case, Zhu Yan's intention to come here is obvious, to plead for her family.
Seeing that there was no response, Zhu Yan frowned, a little impatient, and obviously a little dissatisfied, and said again: "Zhu Yan from Resource Hall is here to visit you. Please come out and see me, brother."
As a result, there was still no response.
Zhu Yan completely lost her patience and sneered, "I want to see who is so arrogant."
She pushed the gate open and entered without being invited.
But at this moment, a cold voice came from the attic: "It seems that sending you to the secular world for training still didn't teach you a lesson."
"This voice..."
Zhu Yan's body froze, and she looked up at the third floor of the attic.
In her sight, a masked man in a white gown slowly walked to the terrace of the attic.
"It's you!"
Seeing Wu Tian, she knelt down in fear, and her face turned pale!
Never expected that the captain who came to recruit the judges this time was actually this murderer!
