Chapter 405
Each by means
The Du family can be said to be in panic at this time. In the past year, it has been like a nightmare for every Du family member.
First, Elder Du Yongkang's lineage, three elders were ambushed by monsters and returned seriously injured. Their cultivation level dropped sharply, and they followed closely behind. The fourteenth elder was defeated by the unknown Li Wenjun at the door of the Du family compound, causing the Du family's reputation to plummet.
Afterwards, the Du family was in a civil turmoil, and the second elder and the Du Yongkang lineage were in a row. Both sides were injured. Even the patriarch was seriously injured and unconscious. Zheng Jingtang and Qi Shaojun, two people who were not surnamed Du, controlled the overall situation of the Du family. This was not over. Jiang Shaohua, the lord of Jinpeng City, came over and intervened again, and wanted to annex the Du family and take Baekhyun City under his command.
In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Du family's ancestors, it can be said that they have suffered sudden changes. If you are not careful, the Du family will decline into a third-rate family and will no longer be able to control Baekhyun City. What's more, it is possible to exterminate the clan from then on. The wealth accumulated by the Du family over the past few hundred years will become the fat meat for other immortals to divide up.
When Li Wenjun sneaked into the Du family compound, he didn't even see a patrol person. Almost all the people who were qualified to live in the Du family compound left their work and life and rushed to the patriarch's courtyard.
Li Wenjun successfully found Du Yuhuan's courtyard, but Du Yuhuan was not there, and there was no one in Du Yongkang's courtyard. Just as he was about to contact Du Yuhuan with a paper crane, he heard a huge noise coming from one direction.
Li Wenjun's heart moved and walked over with the sound.
The noise came from the patriarch's courtyard. When Li Wenjun squeezed over, he found that the wall of the patriarch's courtyard had been pushed down, and the entire courtyard was exposed to everyone without any cover.
In the courtyard, there were three groups of people confronting each other. Li Wenjun saw Du Yuhuan, bearded and horse-faced men in one group. In this group, they were basically young and strong people from the Du family, with about seventeen or eighteen.
Du Yuhuan stood at the front of the team, with bandages wrapped around his body, and blood was oozing out from behind the bandages. He had a rough beard, messy hair, and multiple holes in his clothes. At this time, he still looked like a handsome young man?
The bearded man and the horse-faced man were also similar to Du Yuhuan. Both of them and Du Yuhuan stared at another group of people with their eyes blazing fire.
Li Wenjun, the two leaders in this group, also met one another. They were no one else, but Zheng Jingtang, the head of the Du family's foreign elders, the uncle of the matriarch Du Yuyu. The other one is naturally Du Yuyu's Taoist partner Qi Shaojun.
There are more people in this group than Du Yuhuan's group, about twenty-three or four. They are all immortal cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, among which there are four or five immortal cultivators in the late stage of Foundation Establishment Stage. Including Zheng Jingtang, there are as many as six. Without exception, they are all covered in their bodies and are not injured at all. They are dressed brightly, and almost everyone is looking at Zheng Jingtang nervously.
Zheng Jingtang frowned and lowered his head, as if he couldn't decide anything.
Li Wenjun didn't know any of the last group of people. The leader of this group of people sat on a grand master's chair with a golden sword. His cultivation was the highest among all the immortal cultivators present, at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Needless to say, he was Jiang Shaohua, the lord of Jinpeng City.
Around Jiang Shaohua, there were more than 30 immortal cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Among them, the lowest level of cultivation is the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and there are as many as four or five of the eighth and ninth levels of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"How is it? Elder Zheng, what are you thinking about?
You should see that I am willing to take risks alone and enter the core area of the Du family compound and talk to you. This represents my sincerity. Let me reiterate. None of your surname is Du, they are all foreigners from the Du family compound. It is never your turn to have the best things in the Du family. Why do you work hard for the Du family?
As long as you are willing to submit to me, I promise not to hurt your lives. Second, I promise that the treatment you enjoyed in the Du family will remain unchanged. What the Du family will give you, and what I will give you in the future.
How about it, my conditions are favorable, right?"
Jiang Shaohua's voice was a little hoarse. At first glance, it was not very nice, but if you listened for a little longer, you would find that his voice had a unique charm.
"The city lord personally recruits you, and he is willing to give you such generous conditions. What else do you have to be satisfied with? Humph, don't be shameless, and don't ignore the toast and eat the punishment wine. Let me tell you, this punishment wine is not that delicious." A male cultivator standing on Jiang Shaohua's left hand said annoyed.
Zheng Jingtang suddenly raised his head, with an unconcealable bitterness on his face, and he said:
"I have been planning for many years. In order to achieve great things, I even married my favorite niece to Du Yuyu, that idiot. It is about to succeed. My Zheng Jingtang is going to control the entire Baekhyun City. At that time, I can combine the power of the entire Du family and even Baekhyun City to use it for me to help me to attack the Golden Pill Stage. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and the fruit of victory that was about to be obtained became your Jiang Shaohua's on-the-board meal. I was unwilling to give up."
Jiang Shaohua laughed and said, "Zheng Jingtang, what can you do if you are unwilling to accept it? One day our Qingmeng Mountain Immortal Cultivation World won't stage a few open and secret battles? Conspiracy, bullying the weak, and everyone uses their own methods. Just like you are also attacking your niece's son-in-law? Logically speaking, Du Yuyu treats you well, but aren't you not able to keep it well?"
"Master Jiang, yes, you're right. I'm sorry to the Du family, but if I asked me to do it again, I would still walk the path I've walked again without hesitation. I just regret that my cultivation is too low. If I was also in the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage, that would be great. In that case, even if you know that there was an internal strife in the Du family, you might not dare to invade the Du family." Zheng Jingtang said unwillingly.
"Yes, you're right. I won't bring anyone to the Du family who has a clan member who has a great perfect state in the Foundation Establishment Stage. But the problem is that you are not the Great perfect state in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and your assumption is not true. Zheng Jingtang, you are also the number one person. As long as you can submit to me, the position of an elder in Jinpeng City cannot escape." Jiang Shaohua once again threw an olive branch to Zheng Jingtang.
Zheng Jingtang was reluctant to believe Jiang Shaohua's promise easily. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was the head of the Du family's foreign elders. If he brought all the foreign elders of the Du family to Jiang Shaohua, would Jiang Shaohua feel at ease? All Jiang Shaohua's promises now are just to make him surrender without resistance and reduce losses. When the situation calms down, Jiang Shaohua will definitely turn around to deal with him.
"Master Jiang, it is reasonable that the conditions you put forward are already very generous, but everyone understands the principle of being a chicken head rather than a queen. We are surrendered to you, and even if we surrender, it will be difficult to gain your trust. Besides, we are deeply grateful to the Du family. If we do nothing, we will put down the flying sword and do not resist, and we will surrender. I am afraid that the entire Qingmeng Mountain Immortal Cultivation World will laugh at us." Zheng Jingtang said.
"Zheng Jingtang, you are really nagging. You said so much, don't you just want to be a bitch and hold the archway again?" The male cultivator standing on Jiang Shaohua's left scolded again.
Zheng Jingtang ignored this person. He said to himself: "Lord Jiang, you can come to the Du family compound in person, make great contributions to us, and make many promises in person. If you want to shed a drop of blood, you will conquer the entire Du family. It is too simple to think. The Du family has been operating Baxian City for hundreds of years. If you don't enter the city, maybe we can't do anything to you, but you just entered the Du family compound? This is a sheep entering the tiger's mouth."
Jiang Shaohua smiled faintly and said, "Maybe in your opinion, the city lord is a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, but in my opinion, I am a tiger entering the flock of sheep. Zheng Jingtang, you and the fellow Taoists behind you. If anyone of you doesn't believe it, just come out and give it a try."
Zheng Jingtang said calmly:
"Master Jiang, we all know that you are a master of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the Lord of a City. You are not short of magic weapons. I guess you have been armed to the teeth at this time. It is impossible for us to beat you, and it is an ambiguous thing to do if you can seriously injure you.
But this is just in general, you forget a possibility.
I wonder if you have ever thought that if all the elders from the Du family had self-destructed themselves together, would you have the possibility of getting out of here?"
Jiang Shaohua's face changed suddenly, but then he smiled and said, "Zheng Jingtang, are you willing to explode yourself?"
"I dare to self-destruct. If Lord Jiang doesn't believe it, I can do it for you." As he said that, Zheng Jingtang began to make gestures.
Jiang Shaohua could no longer remain calm, so he hurriedly said, "Elder Zheng, don't be impatient. We have something to say, don't be impulsive. Impulsiveness is a devil, you must restrain yourself."
Zheng Jingtang breathed a sigh of relief. If he hadn't been forced, he would not have self-destructed. Once he self-destructed, there would be nothing left, and even the soul would be destroyed in self-destruction, and he would have no chance to reincarnate and reborn.
Zheng Jingtang did not disperse his hand gestures that had been halfway through. He pinched his fingers and said, "Lord Jiang, I know that the destruction of the Du family is the general trend, and no one can stop it, including me. Even if you, Lord Jiang, retreat today, you will have a Lord of the King tomorrow, and Lord Li the day after tomorrow, and relies on your strength to annex Baekhyun City. None of the Du family can stop it."
Jiang Shaohua nodded and said, "Yes, that's the reason. Elder Zheng, you realize this, which means that we still have something in common. If you have anything to say, we can say it carefully and slowly, do you see if you disperse the handwriting first?"
