Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow

Looking around, we can see that these powerful people in Yongzhou are not fat-headed and big-eared as expected. They are very different from the secular stereotype.

On the contrary, each of them is very refined, with a tall and straight figure, and looks like a fairy.

If you look carefully, the spiritual power of these people is not only not leaked out, but is cleverly contained in every inch of the meridians in the body, exuding an indescribable spiritual temperament. It can be said that they are cultivators of the Jade Luo Realm or even the Alchemy Realm. for.

The Ji family of Dazhou claimed to control the world's military power, but obviously to the powerful people, their methods were ineffective.

As long as you think about it, the powerful will always find various ways to get the cultivation resources they want.

Just when Shen Qing was looking at everyone, he was keenly aware of a gaze that was scanning his body vaguely.

He glanced at it without expression, used his spiritual consciousness to check, and found that the end of the gaze was a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man has a face as sharp as a knife and a calm aura. He wears a large robe, embroidered with delicate cloud and water patterns. At the hem, dark patterns embroidered with gold thread flicker.

From the discussion around this man, I could vaguely hear the identity of the person in front of me.

It is Dong Wentian, the head of the Dong family.

Shen Qing remembered Huangfu Rou's warning, silently lowered his head, picked up the tea cup and drank tea, pretending not to know.

After a while, people arrived in the hall one after another, and all the empty seats were filled.

The originally deserted hall gradually became lively.

Shen Qing, whose status was not considered noble in the first place, was completely marginalized in the presence of these people, no one cared about him, and he looked extremely inconspicuous.

But Shen Qing didn't care either.

He never liked being in the limelight.

In addition, one of Dong Wentian's sons was killed not long ago, so keeping a low profile suited him.

When Sheriff Bai Mu saw that most of the people had arrived, he said happily: "All distinguished and elegant people, it is a rare occasion to gather together today. Since everyone has arrived, there is no need to wait for the delicacies for a long time, so as not to neglect everyone's elegance. Come on, let the people below serve the food."

It didn't take long before his words fell.

The well-trained servants in the county government brought the delicacies that had been prepared one by one.

During the banquet, the guests exchanged glasses and raised their glasses: "Congratulations to the county governor for being in good health and successfully coming out of confinement. Now that you are back in charge of the overall situation, it is really a blessing to the people of Yongzhou!"

"Haha, you're welcome, please."

Everyone drank and drank, and the atmosphere gradually became warm and harmonious.

When the atmosphere at the table was completely lively, County Sheriff Bai Mu gently touched the table and let out a long and deep sigh.

Zhou Xu, the head of the Zhou family, was the first to ask: "I wonder why your Excellency sighs? Now that all the sages in Yongzhou have gathered in this hall, you might as well speak up and discuss it together, and we will relieve your concern."

Bai Mu looked at Zhou Xu with deep eyes, and said sadly: "Although I am happy to have successfully escaped from seclusion this time, there is something in my heart that feels like a lump in my throat and I won't spit it out. Everyone knows that there is a snake outside Yongzhou City today. The demon is ready to move, repeatedly intruding on the people, causing devastation and deprivation of the people. If this continues, it will be a disaster, and you will be deeply affected. As a county guard, I feel anxious, so I sigh. "

Having said this, Bai Mu glanced at the audience and paused for a moment, then continued: "To be honest, I invite you here today mainly because I want to unite everyone here to eradicate this snake demon that is causing harm to the world and bring peace to Yongzhou! I don't know what you think. How about next?”

As soon as these words came out, the banquet hall suddenly fell into deep thought.

Long before they came, Shisan Xing and others had already heard that Bai Mu wanted to use their hands to kill demons.

After exchanging pleasantries, we finally got to the point.

As the most prosperous high-ranking family in Yongzhou, Thirteen Lines has many masters after so many years of accumulation.

Even if they join forces, they can't make any concessions compared with the county government.

Right now, even the county guard himself is no match for the snake demon, and obviously no one else in the county government can get rid of the snake demon.

There is no other way but to rely on the strength of others.

This was expected by everyone.

"What Mr. Bai said is true. I heard that the snake demon is rampant outside and has been lurking in the dark. I don't know what the purpose is. For the peace of Yongzhou, it is imperative to kill the demon. I am the number one in the Zhou family. I am willing to stand up and work with you to get rid of this monster."

"The same goes for my Dong family."

"My Sun family..."

"My Wu family..."

"..."

Soon everyone from high-level sects stood up to express their support.

Seeing this, County Governor Bai Mu laughed and said: "With your help, the snake demon must be doomed. I wonder if the ancestors of the Zhou family and several other families can take action this time?"

Zhou Xu, the head of the Zhou family, said helplessly: "My ancestor of the Zhou family is old, and now his energy and blood are declining day by day. Now he is just in seclusion and asking for leave. He has stopped caring about world affairs. This time we can only send our clan brothers to help."

"The same is true for my ancestor. He is more than two hundred years old and has to live on his last breath and rely on elixirs. If he wants to eliminate the demon, he can only send juniors to support him."

"The same goes for my ancestors."

"..."

Bai Mu looked startled.

That snake demon is comparable to the existence of the innate realm. If it is just a junior or other ordinary martial artist who goes to fight against it, what is the difference between it and delivering a meal?

He didn't ask for their help this time just for this reason.

Bai Mu knew clearly in his heart that the reason why he summoned many high-ranking family heads of the thirteen clans to gather together this time was not only because of their own strength, but also because he wanted to get the ancestors of several of them to take action.

On the one hand, it is to kill the snake demon with a greater probability, on the other hand, it also means to weaken the strength of these people and shorten their lifespan.

These ancestors are all at the Xiantian realm.

If it had been in the past, it would have been fine. With his cultivation, he could still suppress it, so he wouldn't be afraid.

But now that he was injured by the snake demon, even though he had recovered, his strength was still greatly reduced, and it would be difficult to suppress these local snakes.

If he still wanted to keep his official position, he had to think of something.

What's more, that snake demon attacked him so hard. If this revenge is not avenged, he will not be able to feel at ease.

That's why we formed such a game.

Bai Mu was unwilling to give up, with a solemn expression on his face, and said with force: "Everyone, this matter is a major matter related to the safety of Yongzhou. If anyone has doubts or feels that this officer's move is against morality, you can speak out. . But I hope you can understand that if this monster is not eliminated, we will never have peace. At this time, I hope you will not spare any effort."

"Master Bai, it is your duty to slay demons. I can't wait to help you. We have already done our best by sending people to help. What else do you want?"

The head of the Zhou family, Zhou Xu, looked cold and retorted, showing no mercy to Bai Mu at all and going tit-for-tat.

The thirteen lines and other dignitaries all caught Zhou Xu's subtle change in attitude, and the hall suddenly became silent, and a tense atmosphere spread from it.
