Inside the circular mark, all kinds of strange patterns were flowing with light and vibrant colors. It seemed to be irregular, but it contained the power of s.p.a.ce.Suddenly, the golden light in the circular imprint weakened.
The middle-aged man immediately turned his head to look at Situ Zhangkong, who was sitting in the second seat.
Situ Zhangkong furrowed his brows, his expression turning unsightly.
Puff — -Suddenly, he felt his blood roiling, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Elder Zhangkong..."
"Grand Elder …"The other three elders on the table, as well as the middle-aged man in the lead, all looked at Situ Zhangkong in shock.
It was completely out of their expectations for such a situation to occur.
It was obvious that the formation that Situ Zhangkong had set up had been broken, so it had suffered a backlash.
"How is this possible … He actually had a high-grade Profound Rank expert by his side?! Otherwise, it would be impossible to break this old one"s Earth Spirit Formation so easily … "Before Situ Zhangkong could wipe the blood off his face, he spoke with widened eyes.
The moment he said that, everyone in the hall froze.
"An expert of high rank of the profound rank … Could this kid really be from the Lu Family? Then, the old monsters from the Lu family have dared to show their faces? "
One of the gray-robed elders seated at the back frowned, his voice slightly trembling.
"Lu Family? What a joke! "Situ Zhangkong laughed coldly and began to cough violently once more.
"At this critical juncture, if all the forces of the Celestial Sect of Wonders gather in the Jiang Prefecture, will the Lu Family not dare to show their faces here?"
After Situ Zhangkong finished speaking, he hurriedly took out a pill and popped it into his mouth.He closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, completely absorbing the medicinal properties of the pill. Only then did his pale complexion improve slightly.
The middle-aged man who was sitting at the head seat suddenly stood up and swept his hawk-like gaze over everyone in the hall.
"Elders, if it really is a member of the Lu family, then in my opinion, it is necessary to notify a member of the Duanmu family."
"As the saying goes, a sandpiper and clam fight will reap the benefits. Once the Duanmu Clan makes a move, we only need to watch the flames from the other side of the river and wait for the opportunity to make our move. ""After all, strictly speaking, we don"t have too many grudges with the Lu family. There"s no need for us to truly form a relationship and put ourselves at the heart of the struggle."
"If those old monsters from the Lu family were to really fight, although we, the Situ family, would not be afraid, it would still take us some effort.""On the other hand, the Duanmu Family has been constantly searching for the remnants of the Lu Family for the past dozen years. I"m afraid that if they were to find out about the location of those old monsters, they would definitely take action."
"Also, it doesn"t matter if this kid is from the Lu family or not. Our Situ family cannot have him. Neither the Li nor the Murong family can hope for him.""There"s less than a month until the once every three year Profound Gate Great a.s.sembly. We can"t allow any more mishaps to occur."
The other four elders quickly exchanged glances and nodded their heads in acknowledgement.
"Elders, don"t worry. This matter will be tightly sealed by me. It will not affect the reputation of our Situ Family!"
As the middle-aged man finished speaking, the figures of the four elders in the hall moved, and the colors of the lights around them changed, instantly vanishing from where they stood ….
Kcha! *A slight cracking sound could be heard from the ring finger of Situ Qingcheng"s left hand as blood dripped down.
She forcefully suppressed the fear that flashed across her face and managed to maintain a calm expression.Ever since he felt that strange energy fluctuation, Zhang Junwei didn"t know what caused it, but his gaze had always been focused on Situ Qingcheng.
This was because he himself believed that this was the doing of this beautiful and outrageous woman in front of him."Mr Lu, sorry to bother you today!" If Mr Lu ever has the time, I would like to ask for a few words of advice to clear the doubts in my heart! "
The terror in Situ Qingcheng"s heart was inexplicable, but she managed to maintain her calm on the surface.
As she spoke, she pulled the cracked topaz ring tightly onto her palm.
The ring finger on his left hand had been cut open, and blood was dripping down his fingers.
Lu Chen could faintly guess what was going on.He calmly replied:
"Miss Situ, it is my honor to have such sincerity. When I"m free, I will definitely have a good chat with Miss Situ! "
Lu Chen"s eyes narrowed, a calm and unhurried smile hung on his face as he cupped his fists towards Situ Qingcheng.
"Master, do you want to leave this girl behind?" "I see that she looks pretty good, she"s a beauty …"Seeing that Lu Chen did not intend to continue attacking her, the little fox intentionally teased him.
Of course, Lu Chen knew what the little fox meant.
It was obviously hoping that it would not let Situ Qingcheng off so easily.However, Lu Chen didn"t think that Situ Qingcheng actually had any killing intent on her. There was no need to find trouble with him.
There were probably a lot of things that she couldn"t help herself with.
Most importantly, even if he wanted to keep Situ Qingcheng here, it would be meaningless.He couldn"t just kill her.
On the other hand, even if there was a way to control Situ Qingcheng, it would be much more inconvenient to keep her here."Forget it, it"s just a chess piece that"s forced on him. There"s no need to make things too difficult for him."
"Moreover, since the person behind him came up with this kind of trick, it doesn"t mean that he would act brazenly. It must be because he has his reservations."
"Moreover, even though Miss Situ looks fine on the surface, the truth is that she has suffered quite a bit. Who knows, her cultivation might even be damaged."
"At the very least, we haven"t completely fallen out yet. Let"s temporarily maintain this state! I believe that the person behind her is also a little afraid. "
At this point, Lu Chen paused for a moment, and his tone became a little more gentle."Also, you should pay more attention to your spirit body! If something were to happen to you and if you really meet an expert, I won"t be able to cope with it. "
Just when Situ Qingcheng was about to turn around and leave, Zhang Junwei suddenly stopped her."Wait …" Miss Situ, right? What did you just do to my Master?! "
Zhang Junwei kept a close eye on Situ Qingcheng"s every move.And just in time, he saw a streak of blood falling from Situ Qingcheng"s right hand.
Moreover, she clenched her fists tightly, as if she was pulling something.
Hearing Zhang Junwei"s words, Situ Qingcheng froze.
Just now, the Sky Elder"s Earth Spirit Formation had been broken in front of Lu Chen, and he had suffered a terrible backlash that caused his yellow jade ring to break apart.
Although Situ Qingcheng"s heart was filled with unhappiness, when she turned her head to look at Zhang Junwei, a smile broke out on her face.
"What are you talking about, little brother?" I didn"t do anything! "
Zhang Junwei raised his brows. He looked at Situ Qingcheng"s left hand and said with a sneer on his face:"No?" What is that thing in your right hand? Why are you still bleeding? "
Situ Qingcheng furrowed her brows, a cold light flickering in her eyes.
