Chapter 477 Tang Family Crisis

Lanqing City, inside the city lord's palace, was in chaos.

Tang Zhen, the city lord who was in seclusion, was alarmed and quickly came out to investigate the situation.

"Zhan Tian is really dead?"

In the meeting hall, Tang Zhen looked shocked.

A strong man from the Tang family who had overcome the tribulation was killed. This had not happened in the Tang family's territory for many years.

Moreover, the person who died was his third brother, Tang Zhantian, who was at the peak of his cultivation.

Among the Tang family disciples of their generation, except for Tang Zhi, Tang Zhantian was the strongest. Even he had to give in.

Moreover, Tang Zhantian's son Tang Fengyue inherited the perfect Tang family bloodline and was deeply favored by his ancestors. His status will naturally rise with the tide. After he abdicates, the throne of the Lord of Lanqing City will most likely be that of Tang Zhantian. The contents of the bag.

But now, the next successor to the city lord has died without any explanation. This is a great shame and humiliation for the Tang family.

Tang Zhen couldn't help but cast his eyes on the man and woman in front of him.

These two people are Tang Yaqing and Tang Lunhai, and they are also strong candidates for the next city lord.

If anyone had the motive to kill Tang Zhantian, these two people would definitely bear the brunt.

After all, once Tang Zhantian dies, their chances of taking over the throne as city lord will be even greater.

Tang Yaqing saw Tang Zhen's suspicious eyes and quickly explained: "Brother, you know me. My third brother and I have always had a good relationship. Fengyue's mother died early, and I have always regarded him as my own, but my second brother, His relationship with his third brother has never been on good terms..."

Seeing Tang Yaqing pointing the finger at him, Tang Lunhai snorted coldly: "You snake and scorpion woman, is now the time to sow discord? The third child just died. Now is not the time for internal strife. Seal the surrounding area of ​​Lanqing City as soon as possible and The top priority is to find the murderer. The City Patrol Department has informed me that a suspicious person invaded Lanqing City today, and it is most likely that this person is responsible for killing Lao San. "

Tang Zhen frowned: "I just came out of seclusion and I don't know about this yet. Who can explain the situation to me in detail?"

Tang Lunhai immediately informed Tang Zhen that someone destroyed the city defense formation today and killed a Tang family deacon, many sword cultivators patrolling the city, and a large number of puppets.

"Impossible, the city defense formation was set up by our ancestors back then. Even a strong person in the Heavenly Realm would have a hard time breaking in."

"What if that person is a heavenly being?" Tang Lunhai said.

Tang Zhen suddenly narrowed his eyes.

If so, the severity of the matter would probably exceed his expectations.

"Where is Protector Tang Zhi? Where is he now?" Tang Zhen asked.

"Since the Protector returned from the Holy Yuan Demon Sect last time, he has been living in seclusion in his own cave to practice hard, and he has not left yet."

"Contact him quickly and ask him to return quickly and guard Lanqing City. I suspect that the murderer has not left yet. Since he killed the third child, we might be his next targets." Tang Zhen said with a serious expression.

Although he knew he didn't have much time left to live, even so, he didn't want to die.

"Do you want to report to the ancestor?" Tang Yaqing said anxiously.

Although Tang Zhi is in the Heavenly Realm and has extraordinary combat power, he has just suffered a blow and his injuries have not yet recovered, so he may not be able to withstand Lanqing City.

This time the crisis breaks out, the other side comes with bad intentions and strong tactics, so we must be prepared carefully.

Only the ancestor himself comes out of the mountain to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Ancestor gave an order before he went into seclusion. He was not to be disturbed until the moment of life and death. If there is a major crisis that threatens the survival of the entire Tang family, we don't need to notify you. Ancestor will naturally be able to sense it."

While the three of them were talking, they did not realize that there was another person in the room.

At this moment, Zhao Mu was sitting swaggeringly in the meeting hall, listening to the conversation of the three people at close range.

His body was shrouded in a layer of space laws, which made him appear to be in a different dimension even though he was here. With the strength of Tang Zhen and the others, they were completely unaware of his existence.

After hearing that, Zhao Mu was not interested in staying any longer, so he turned around and left.

He did a rough survey and found that the Tang family's overall strength seemed to be very strong, but in fact it was facing a situation of sluggishness.

Especially the top experts, the number is actually quite rare.

Although Lanqing City is only the center of the Tang family's power, and there are many other forces scattered outside, even with the addition of other branches of power, the number of high-level combat capabilities of the Tang family is still small.

Logically speaking, with the Tang family's background, it is impossible for only this expert to be in charge.

Then there is only one reason.

Most of the masters of the Tang family have probably become nourishment for the ancestors of the Tang family.

In order to further find out the current situation of the Tang family, Zhao Mu walked around the city lord's mansion.

This is the center of power of the Tang family, second only to the ancestral land of the Tang family, and it should contain many secrets.

Under Zhao Mu's all-encompassing Immortal Eyes' carpet-like search, he soon discovered that there was another world beneath the city lord's palace, and there was a large ancient underground palace.

However, the underground palace is not connected to the outside world at all, and it seems that one can only rely on a specific teleportation array to enter it.

Naturally, this could not hinder Zhao Mu. He strolled into the void and traveled through space to the underground palace in an instant.

The interior space of the underground palace is very large, criss-crossed, and divided into several floors, with three small areas and a large area in the center.

Zhao Mu first inspected the outer layer. There was nothing valuable, but he saw countless names engraved on the walls.

These names are mainly Tang, but there are also some with other surnames. There is a line of numbers behind their names, ranging from zero to ten thousand, which should be their ages when they died.

No, to be precise, it is the age when they became the consumables for the cultivation of the Tang family's ancestors.

Zhao Mu counted them carefully, and all the names added up to more than three million.

But the total number is definitely not just that.

There are more consumables that don't even have the qualifications to leave their names.

Shaking his head, Zhao Mu walked towards the central area of ​​the underground palace.

Before arriving, Zhao Mu was blocked.

Those were two three-headed thousand-handed demon statues. As soon as they saw Zhao Mu, they woke up at the same time and launched a round of bombardment at Zhao Mu.

Another puppet.

Moreover, the feeling these two puppets gave Zhao Mu was different from the previous ones. They contained life breath in their bodies, but the breath was very mixed, as if they were pieced together and refined with different lives.

The strength of the two puppets was very strong, at the peak level of the tribulation, and their bodies were hard and solid, and the hardness was comparable to the best Taoist tools.

Even if a cultivator at the peak of the Tribulation Realm came, it would be difficult to defeat these two puppets.

Zhao Mu was not afraid, but he keenly noticed that there was a special formation connection between these two puppets and the space behind the door.

He could see at a glance that in addition to guarding, these two puppets were also bound to the space behind the door for life and death.

If these two puppets were killed, the space behind the door would activate a self-destruct formation and erase all traces.

Using this method to protect the secret behind the door, it seems that the ancestor of the Tang family is still very cautious.
