Emperor Shentongjian

Chapter 613
The three families of Cheng, Shen, and Hang, who received the notice of redemption, became ants on the hot pot. They took a picture and a letter, clearly pointing out that their city lord/patriarch/elder was captured after failing to win the treasure, and they had to be rescued. , have to pay compensation.

A half-step supernatural power is a city, the pillar of a family, and the loss of one has a lot to do with it.

Ningyue City can't sit still, just by hearing the name of the city, one can tell that Cheng Ningyue is the founder of this city, and the city lord's mansion is full of her subordinates and disciples, and there are only two people who are of the same strength as her. If something happened to her, Ningyue City would be equivalent to dropping a level, not far from abjection.

"Quickly open the treasury, there is not enough money and supplies to top it up! Block the news and don't let other people know about it!" The chief manager stomped his feet in hatred. If this matter gets out, it will be a serious scandal. People can't lift their heads.

There are many city-states in the six-section world, and a city is a small country. No matter what the inside is, face is always important. Otherwise, how do you face your neighbors, how do you face the businesses and families that have settled in the city, and how do you welcome the monks who are passing by?
No matter whether it is seizing the treasure or being captured, it must not be spread.

While they were preparing the ransom, they were angry, and a confidant general said angrily, "Do you want to obediently send out the things on time? I'll invite two priests, find out where this person is hiding, and catch them all!"

"Exactly, isn't she going to trade in Nanling? We can secretly ambush and kill the city lord once we get back."

The head steward also couldn't hold back his breath, "Be optimistic about the fate card of the city lord, let the two priests pretend to be ordinary monks to trade, and then lead 1000 people to hide near Nanling and wait for orders, and play by ear."

The Shen family's news was not strictly covered. Not only the worshiping elders with foreign surnames knew about it, but thousands of people in the whole family knew that their ancestor was captured alive, and there was a commotion.

Shen Rong himself has only one parent-child. He knows that it is difficult to bear children after his cultivation base is high, so he insisted on giving birth to his parent-child when he was young, and then let his grandchildren in their teens and twenties continue to have children. It will take 300 years to draw He formed a big family with thousands of people, and the thousands of people who are connected by blood are very united under his upbringing.

The only bad thing is that Shen Rong was arrested, his parents and son died, and there was no one in the Shen family who could make the decision, only his thirty or so grandchildren gathered together to discuss things and discussed the accident of the ancestor. They discussed the extravagant hopes of the world, but they didn't discuss whether to pay the ransom.

"We don't know where the ancestor's private treasury is. The public treasury has to get the ancestor's seal for the money."

"The treasury keeper only recognizes the ancestor. Without a seal, he would not give the spirit stone. Originally, my father also had a secondary seal. Unfortunately, my father is gone, and the ancestor has not yet selected a new heir."

Shen Bao is the grandson of Shen's parents. He has been with his father and ancestor for many years. He knows that the ancestor intends to build a city in the near future and bring the family into a new stage. But at this juncture, his father died. It is meaningless to build this city. No one will inherit it. .

He may just be a transcendent in this life. Although the ancestors and father seem to rely on him, they will not consider themselves as heirs. Now that the ancestors and father are gone, he has become the strongest among the descendants of the family. Enshrinement, plus he has a gifted granddaughter, maybe he can compete for the position of Patriarch.

However, he gave up this idea after a while. If the ancestor was not dead and was released, everything would be in vain. Why not find a way to raise money to save the ancestor and make a contribution. Granddaughter pushes up.

Shen Bao shouted in the majesty of the eldest grandson of the long house, and shocked the scene, "Today, the public treasury must be opened if it is not opened. Things are dead, but people are alive. We must exchange for the old ancestor at any cost!"

The Patriarch of the Hang family on the other side snorted angrily, "I still have the face to be rescued, I have already warned, don't mess with those order holders from outside, why are you disobedient!"

"Five million is our family's income for more than half a year. Besides, there is not much money in the treasury. If it is taken out, how will the gaps in other places be filled?"

"Does the money need to be paid by our entire Hang family, or by his own family?"

"Where can he show it? Let me tell you, he was wrong. Let's just use this to expel the family."

"Well, there are only three half-step supernatural powers in our Hang family. How to give up him, and ask the owner to redeem him."

"Patriarch, just now Hu Jiacheng sent someone to ask about Elder Hang Hu's whereabouts."

"We have no contact with Hu Jiacheng, why are they asking this?"

"It seems that someone saw City Lord Hu Hai watching the battle with Elder Hang Hu, and then disappeared."

"If Hu Hai hadn't covered that place with fog, how could we not be able to track down their whereabouts? In the current passive situation, we still have the nerve to ask us! I wonder if Hu Hai and others kidnapped Hang Hu, prepare to crush my Hang family."

"This time people are very difficult to deal with."

"Damn it, let's talk about it after getting Hang Hu back, and she'll just give it a day."

Ping An City Inn

Zhan Changfeng. Wu Feiyu came out of the deep mountains and old forests a long time ago, and now he is nesting in the room, ready to leave through the secret teleportation array of the Holy Land at any time.

Zhan Changfeng used Qianliu to see the movements of the three families, and he was very moved, "Such a city and a family are vulnerable even if they become a country."

"..." Wu Feiyu didn't want to guess where her conclusion came from, it was boring.

"Aren't cities and families like this? If there are more masters and the inheritance system is improved, this situation may be avoided."

Zhan Changfeng glanced at her and said comfortingly, "Children can be taught."

Wu Feiyu thought about it, and decided to talk to her less, as she was almost leading her astray, so she didn't want to think about those devious ways, "What about the Hu family?"

"The Hu family has a supernatural monarch. It will be a bit troublesome if it is alarmed. Let's seal Hu Hai for hundreds of years."

Wu Feiyu thought about it, Hu Hai was seriously injured, and he would die in a short time, "It depends on his luck."

The savior of Ningyue City was eager, and after raising the ransom, he asked the two priests to rush to the agreed place on time, and 1000 people secretly sent to support them.

The two priests went deep into the forest, observing the surroundings carefully, not letting go of any strangeness with their spiritual sense.

"There is no one, could it be that they are hidden by special means?"

"I always feel that the people behind should be removed. If they are discovered, they will push our city lord into the fire pit."

"Shhh, let's do what they decide, anyway, we are outsiders, just follow orders."

"Is it here?"

The two found a tree with a bird's nest, and on it stood a more common bird with flaming plumage.

They looked around, worriedly put the storage bag containing the ransom money into the bird's nest, and left quickly.

When we got outside, we joined 1000 people and closely watched the ransom.

"The bird took the ransom away, do you want to chase after it?"

"How to chase, the city lord hasn't appeared yet."

The group of people held back and did not move, but their spiritual consciousness quietly followed the bird, passing through a cloud suddenly, as if their spiritual consciousness was blocked by something, and they couldn't find the bird.

Then a bird flew to their hiding place, and in their surprised eyes, dropped a note with a coordinate on it.

The monks in Ningyue City were sweating profusely, did that person know they were here? !

"Could the city lord have been killed?"

"Don't be disheartened!"

They bravely rushed to the location of the coordinates, searched left and right to no avail, dug a hole at the location of the coordinates, and finally dug out a seemingly ordinary sarcophagus, broke the seal with great effort, and rescued Cheng Ningyue inside.
