Chapter 229: Betrayed
This is an extremely wide hall, Lin Feng's feet is a passage more than six feet wide, the aisle is paved with a layer of soft demon beast skin, there is a row of thick pillars on both sides of the aisle, the pillars are carved with many kinds of strange monsters, and the shape of their teeth and claws is lifelike, which makes people tremble when they see it. [~]
At the end of the aisle, there is a huge Taishi chair, on which some kind of fierce monster is also engraved, and in it sits an old man, whose white hair hangs down his chest and his face is thin, which should be Huang Lin, the ancestor of the Huang family.
Lin Feng walked to the end of the aisle with apprehension, stood a few feet away from Huang Lin, and then bowed down to him and said, "Disciple Lin Feng, see the ancestor." ”
Huang Lin looked at Lin Feng silently, and Lin Feng stood in place for a full dozen breaths, and then Huang Lin said in a deep voice: "The grievances between you and that Dan Stage Cultivator Du Qiuming will tell me in detail from the beginning. ”
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, secretly thinking that it was not his actions in the mine that were discovered, but that the Huang family wanted to inquire about the details of him and Du Qiuming, so he immediately put his mind at ease and briefly told him what had happened before and after.
Huang Lin frowned after hearing this: "You mean, you didn't kill Du Qiuming's apprentice, and he just thought that you killed it, so he wanted to settle accounts with you?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, I happened to pass by at that time, the three foundation building period monks have all fallen, among them is Du Qiuming's disciple, at best I just picked up their storage bags, but I really didn't kill anyone, Du Qiuming completely misunderstood." ”
Huang Lin continued: "Even if you really killed, Du Qiuming didn't see it with his own eyes, so he has no evidence at all, is what I said right or not?"
Lin Feng's face was stunned: "Well, it stands to reason that this is true, but... I really didn't kill him!"
Huang Lin waved his hand: "Needless to say!"
Then, I saw two monks coming out of the two side doors of the main hall, one of them was Zhong Yan, and the other turned out to be Du Qiuming!
Lin Feng's face suddenly changed drastically, and just as he was terrified, Huang Lin chuckled and said to Du Qiuming: "Du Daoyou heard it just now, right? This little friend didn't kill your apprentice, and he, a Qi cultivation period cultivator, doesn't have the ability to kill your foundation building stage cultivator, right?"
Du Qiu snorted coldly: "This kid has a lot of skills, I don't believe what he said! A few days ago in the martial arts arena, didn't he also defeat Zheng Junqi, the young master of Demon Moon City?"
Huang Lin continued to laugh and said, "Anyway, since you don't have evidence, you can't arrest people from me at will, right?"
Du Qiuming looked at Lin Feng coldly: "As long as you hand him over to me, I will promise to help you participate in this toast competition! Of course, I don't dare to guarantee whether you win or lose." [~]”
Huang Lin hahadaxiao: "That's very good!
Du Qiuming glanced at Zhong Yan on the other side again, and then continued: "How do you want to resolve the grievances between me and Zhong Daoyou?"
Huang Lin turned his head to look at Zhong Yan: "Zhong Daoyou, as long as you temporarily let go of the mustard between you and Du Daoyou, and do your best to help me complete this toast competition, my previous promise will still be valid!"
Zhong Yan, who looked like Toutuo, was expressionless: "The mercury in the ice cauldron has been taken away, what else do you have to talk about?"
Huang Lin put his hand to his head and said, "This incident is indeed an accident, and until now, I still can't figure out who has such a haode method to take away a whole pool of mercury from the ice kettle in such a short period of time."
What's even more strange is that this person has actually refined so many mercury from the ice cauldron on the spot! Not to mention the subtlety of the technique for the time being, this refining speed alone is enough to shock the entire cultivation realm!"
Zhong Yan was still expressionless: "Hmph, for the sake of these ice cauldron mercury, I traveled thousands of miles to Zhongyingfang City, but I didn't expect you to show me that it was just a bunch of impurities after refining!"
Huang Lin got up from the Taishi chair and stood up, and said slightly apologetically: "Those mercury in the ice cauldron were also just excavated some time ago, because the quantity is too huge, and no one dares to approach easily, so we have to auction it in the Fang Market, if anyone wants, they can come directly to our Huang family to pick it up."
I originally thought that the mercury in those ice cauldrons was so powerful that no one should dare to covet them, and the toast campaign required a large number of people, so I didn't send disciples to guard them, but I didn't expect that something went wrong in the end. ”
Zhong Yan then asked: "Since the mercury in the ice kettle has been taken away and has been refined on the spot, why did the person who took it throw the impurities into the small pool, and what is the point of him doing this?"
Huang Lin shook his head and said, "I'm also puzzled, it seems like he's doing it too much, but I always feel that something is wrong, but I haven't figured it out yet." ”
Zhong Yan frowned and said: "Huang Ju and Huang Feng, the two Daoists, are seriously injured, your Huang family has fallen into decline in this Tusi election, if you want me to help, you must agree to me on one condition." ”
Huang Lin smiled: "What I have promised, how can I regret it?" Don't worry, as long as you win this martial arts competition, I will not agree to all the conditions you listed before!"
Zhong Yan's tone was relieved at this time: "Everything else is easy to say, there are twelve men and women in the furnace ding, and three million spirit stones, as long as these two conditions meet me, I can fight for you! As for the personal grievances between me and Du Qiuming, I will naturally settle them by myself when I leave Zhongyingfang City." ”
Huang Lin's face was overjoyed: "This is very good! Please come with me, let's prepare first, and then we can set off for the martial arts arena in a while." ”
Du Qiuming, who was on the side, said at this time: "There is Lao Huang Daoyou, give me a good look at this kid first, and I will take him away after the competition is over!"
Huang Lin smiled: "Don't worry, you can't run away from him!"
After that, Huang Lin stretched out his hand at Lin Feng, and a flash of light swished into his chest, and in an instant Lin Feng couldn't move anymore, and then Huang Lin shouted outside the door: "Escort him down, lock him in the back room, take care of him!"
The herald disciple outside the door quickly ran in, and when he mentioned Lin Feng, he walked to the back of the main hall, while Huang Lin and the three of them left the main hall one after another, probably going to the martial arts arena to compete with the other two families.
Lin Feng's spiritual power has been completely imprisoned, although this is only temporary, but at least at this stage he can only be at the mercy of others, the herald disciple dragged him into a stone door, and after passing through a passage of dozens of zhang, Zuihou threw him into a stone room.
