Nightmare's Call

The sun slanted, covering the entire earth-yellow ruins with heat.

This is a desert area more than 80 kilometers away from Uman City.

No one knows that one of the real base camps of the Pei family is actually located in the center of this desert.

The high wall of the khaki ruins forms a huge hemisphere, covering half of the area.

In the covered area, there is a huge ancient tree with its roots sticking out of the ground.

A large area of ​​roots of the ancient tree extended down along a stone staircase, covering the entire staircase.

At this time of evening, even though the sun was setting in the west, it was still extremely hot.

A group of high-ranking elders of the Pei family stood quietly in the open space by the edge of the old tree, each holding a cane.

There are twelve elders in total, and at least nine of them have arrived at this time.

The nine elders all looked solemn. Surrounded by a large crowd, their eyes quietly fell on the center of the venue.

There stood a metal cross with a beautiful girl with long purple hair bound with wire.

The girl was in a coma. Judging by her appearance, she was Pei Shangyu's daughter Pei Lin.

Xia Yin stood aside, looking at the elder of the Pei family with a complicated expression.

"Anyway, this kind of thing is not allowed next time. This time the upper council suppressed it, but if there is another time, I'm afraid it won't just let me come over."

"Of course there won't be a next time. Thank you for the understanding and support of the deputy speaker of the parliament. My Pei family is not a person who doesn't know what is good or bad." The grand elder replied calmly.

"I hope so." Xia Yin's eyes flickered subconsciously, and landed on Yahong standing in the corner not far away.

This little girl who looked like an ordinary withdrawn student had already reached an exaggerated level of force.

If it weren't for the deterrence of the red tooth, she would not have turned to join the camp of the Pei family.

"By the way, where's Director Lowy? Why didn't you come with you?" A high-ranking member of the Pei family approached him with a smile and asked.

"He went back first by himself, saying he was a little tired." Xia Yin smiled.

But the look of contempt that Roy looked at him before flashed back in his mind.

I'm afraid that after this time, the friendship between them will completely disappear.

'The essence of politics is to achieve a win-win situation through compromise, so that we can continue to grow ourselves.

Roy, even if you once held a high position and don't understand this truth, you will never be able to get out of that shackle. '

Xia Yinxi sighed in his heart, put aside his regret for Luo Yi, but looked up at the great elder.

"What is the Pei family's plan now? The members of the Early Moon Sword die here, and the Holy Mountain will never let it go. I am afraid that the Early Moon Sword troops are already on their way."

She stared intently at the great elder, expecting to see a hint of meaning in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter, Yahong is here. Besides, who can prove that which one of the Zaoyue sword died in the hands of my Pei family? Although the holy mountain is supreme, it's just like that."

The two elders on the side replied with a smile.

Although his demeanor is humble, anyone can hear the arrogance contained in his tone.

Xia Yin remained calm and did not speak again.

At this moment, a member of the Pei family trotted forward and whispered something next to the great elder and the second elder.

Because high-level corpse demons have a special protective force field that can isolate the surrounding sound, Xia Yin doesn't know what they are talking about.

If you can speak your lips, you can see something. But there is no way now.

Xia Yin felt a little regretful.

Just immediately, after hearing the news, the complexions of the elders became extremely ugly to the naked eye.

Several people asked some questions in low voices, and the reporter from the Pei family answered them one by one.

Soon, several elders discussed the situation before approaching Xia Yin.

"I'm sorry, there was a little accident. Pei Shangyu and Zhuang Qing were rescued by a special force. Now their whereabouts are unknown. I'm afraid we need extra people to track them down."

The grand elder was very polite to Xia Yin, after all, Xia Yin represented the huge power of the Rixing Council behind his back.

"Really? So what do we do now? What is your plan?" Xia Yin asked in surprise.

"Pei Shangyu and Zhuang Qing dote on their only daughter very much, as long as Pei Lin is in our hands, we can't help them not coming.

So, we just have to wait and see. Just wait here for them. "The elder said calmly.

The Pei family itself has complicated roots, and belongs to the third force independent of the Night Walk Alliance and the Day Walk Council, that is, the family bloodline force.

It's just that they are a particularly strong family force.

"You are not worried about pressure from the parliament." Xia Yin said helplessly.

"In this regard, it depends on Ms. Xia's support. In addition, our Pei family has supportive congressmen. If we speak together, there will be no problem." The grand elder said calmly.

The sky gradually dimmed.

The surrounding elders, after discussing for a while, returned to their residences to rest. Only some clansmen were left for vigilance, guarding the surroundings.

After talking for a while with Pei Shangyun who arrived in a hurry, Xia Yin was also arranged to rest in the residence.

Pei Shangyun's mood was very unstable and irritable. His son Pei Peng mysteriously disappeared during this operation. He believed that all of this was caused by the corpse demon under Pei Shangyu's ambush.

Even Pei Lin, whom he even caught, hated her.

Although Pei Peng is not his only son, he is the one he is most satisfied with.

As soon as he saw Pei Lin, he wanted to go up and kill her on the spot.

But was stopped by the rest of the Pei family.

The disappearance of Pei Peng means that all the anticipation and energy that Pei Shangyun has invested in has been in vain.

Xia Yin could understand his feelings, but neither the elders nor the council she represented would allow Pei Shangyun to do anything wrong.

Using Pei Lin as a bait, Pei Shangyu and Zhuang Qing must be wiped out.

Pei Lin opened her eyes in a daze, feeling pain in every joint in her body.

She was tied to a metal cross in ragged clothes, surrounded by a dark night.

Even at night, the hot wind in the desert still made her sweat all over.

"Where is this place?" She remembered that her last thought was being knocked unconscious by that woman Xia Yin.

"Xia Yin. Hehe" She felt nauseous when she recalled that hypocritical woman.

"Don't be afraid, Linlin, we'll rescue you right away." Suddenly a voice as thin as a mosquito gnat came into her ears.

In the darkness, the corpse demons of the Pei family guarding around suddenly fell to the ground one by one silently.

The figures in white armor and with jagged long swords on their backs were rising and falling at an extremely fast speed, clearing away all the Pei family's guards like lightning.

"Zaoyue Sword!?" Pei Lin's eyes lit up.

Seeing this scene, a strong hope suddenly rose in my heart.

According to what my aunt said before, Zaoyuejian is a powerful security force on the holy mountain. Now their appearance is obviously aimed at the corpse demon of the Pei family.

Thinking of my aunt, Pei Lin couldn't help feeling a little pain in her heart. There is no doubt that my aunt died for her.

When she came back to her senses, Pei Lin opened her eyes wide, watching each of the corpse guards of the Pei family being ambushed, fell to the ground, and disappeared without a sound.

Men in white armor with jagged long swords on their backs kept entering the field.

The ancient trees are raining lavender leaves with the wind.

Just the rustling sound of the leaves shaking completely covered the sounds of the surrounding hands.

"Don't be afraid, Linlin. I'll let you down immediately." A familiar figure suddenly appeared not far from Pei Lin.

Pei Shangyu looked happy, and changed into a clean black shirt. The night wind made his purple hair flutter constantly.
