This mountain with God-given fire veins has incredible miraculous effects on practicing fire-attribute skills. It is here that the huge force of the Zhou family thrives.
In the sea-like palace complex, at this moment, in the central hall, dozens of high-ranking people gathered together, and the atmosphere in the hall was very tense and solemn.
At the bottom of the hall, a man with a straight figure stood slumped. The Qi in his body had been blocked and he could not use the divine energy. He wanted to forcefully raise his chest, but the power of the seal was too strong, and he failed despite his efforts several times. Unable to hold body upright.
A charming and delicate goddess next to her had eyes filled with pity and mist, and she quietly stretched out her hand to support the man.
The two people stood stubbornly at the head of the main palace, looking upward without giving in, watching coldly how the elders in the clan who had the power of life and death would punish them.
If Zhou Lu were here, he would probably recognize this man and this woman at once. They are exactly the same as the images of his parents he saw in the Demon Sword Field.
Decades have passed, and Zhou Lu has grown from ignorance to the supreme power he is now, but the appearance of his parents has not changed at all, and they are no different from the images they sealed on the demon sword back then.
Today is the most solemn meeting in the Zhou Clan Elders¡¯ Pavilion, because the Demon Sect has given the Zhou clan a final ultimatum, ordering them to escort Zhou Qinghou to the Demon Sect immediately.
Everyone knows that the Supreme God of the Demon Sect wants to kill Zhou Qinghou and seize the Fire Lord in his soul.
??This time to go to the Demon Sect, Zhou Qinghou and his wife will only die.
At the top of the hall, the third elder of the clan, Zhou Tie'e, looked upright. He suddenly stood up and broke the silence in the hall, and said indignantly:
"I don't agree to hand over Qinghou and his wife to the Demon Sect. Qinghou is the only person in our clan who has inherited the position of Fire Lord. He is the only hope for the revival of our clan. He is very important to our Zhou family. We will never Don¡¯t compromise with the devil.¡±
Great Elder Zhou Sha has a pair of slender eyes under his long eyebrows. When he squints his eyes, it seems as if he is looking at people with murderous eyes at any time.
The great elder lifted up the hem of his robe, changed his sitting position at the top, and retorted coldly: "Don't hand over? It sounds nice. If you don't hand over, you will die. Do you think that if you don't hand over the Qinghou couple, the Demon Sect will let them go?" Overcoming our Zhou clan?"
Third Elder Zhou Tie¡¯e¡¯s face was full of indignation:
"We are not afraid of the Demon Sect. If the Demon Sect really dares to attack us, we will surrender our entire clan to the Wood Demon Mansion."
"Shut up." The great elder Zhou Sha shouted sharply, blocking the words of the third elder: "We are such a big family, and you want us to send the whole family to live under someone else's roof? Everything about our Zhou family in Li Fentian Xiaoyan Territory What to do with our wealth? What to do with our power here? Are we giving up on our ancestral homeland where we have lived for so many years?¡±
There was silence in the main hall, and the atmosphere was unusually solemn. Everyone looked towards the third elder, Zhou Tie'e.
The third elder, Zhou Tie'e, was both angry and dissatisfied. The veins on his forehead were pulsing. The third elder clenched his fists and stared at the elder above him. He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word. :
"It is true that our whole family has been wronged by living under someone else's roof, but even living under someone else's roof is better than handing over our relatives and living under the influence of a demon sect!"
The third elder and the first elder were tit for tat, refusing to give in.
The strong smell of gunpowder filled the hall, and many people were as silent as cicadas, not daring to say a word.
"Third brother, shut up."
Great Elder Zhou Sha¡¯s slender eyes suddenly emitted a terrifying murderous aura. At this moment, he was really angry. The great elder suddenly stood up, faced the third elder below, and shouted sharply:
"Third brother, do you think I handed over the Qinghou couple to buy my own miserable life? Everything I did was for the sake of our entire clan, and what have you done? Your impulsiveness will only Bring disaster to the whole clan."
The great elder kept talking about the whole clan, and he refuted it with righteous words. Moreover, he is the Great Elder, with the highest prestige and the most powerful position in the clan. For such a long time since the death of the Fire Lord, the Great Elder has almost been the acting clan leader, and no one can shake his authority.
Being questioned in public by the third elder today, he was extremely angry.
However, the third elder, Zhou Tie'e, was still dissatisfied.
This matter concerns Zhou Qing?The life and death of the couple, and Zhou Qinghou is the only person in the third generation of the Zhou family who will successfully inherit the secret technique. He is the hope of the future of the Zhou family. But even if you abandon these, the same clan, the same bloodline, and still have each other. There is a deep sense of family affection.
"Seeing their relatives being sent into the tiger's mouth, but they were unable to protect them, this was simply a shame for their Elder Pavilion. The third elder was an upright man and would never let such a thing happen.
Third Elder Zhou Tie¡¯e¡¯s voice also turned cold:
"Great Elder, our whole clan is life, so Qinghou and his wife are not life? They are both lives, and they are completely equal in the face of the right to survive. What right do we have to sacrifice the two of them in order to protect ourselves? The Qinghou couple are innocent. We let two innocent tribesmen die for nothing. This is unfair. If our Elder Pavilion did such an unfair thing, how can we stand in front of our tribe? Will other tribesmen do this? Questioning, saying that if they need to be sacrificed in the future, the Elder Pavilion will not hesitate?"
The words of the third elder were so loud and grand that too many people in the hall could not help but nod secretly.
Facing the Demon Sect, they sometimes lack this fearless passion.
The third elder spoke out the deepest desires in their hearts, and many of them began to have their blood flow accelerate.
The first elder was blushing after being contradicted, and his face turned blue and red. He became angry and stepped down the stairs. He pointed at the nose of the third elder and shouted angrily:
"You fart. Third child, the justice you want is purely a woman's kindness, but I, the great elder, must look at the overall situation, consider the whole clan, and save the clan at the expense of two people. This is the righteousness. This is the only way. It is the greatest justice.¡±
The murderous atmosphere in the hall has begun to permeate the air.
The opinions of the Zhou clan's top officials were severely divided. At this time, the Demon Sect's ultimatum had been issued for three days. The heavy pressure to survive was like an endless mountain hanging above everyone's head. That kind of pressure made the Zhou clan Every clan member has a feeling of suffocation.
The third elder slowly stepped back and waved his broad sleeves to protect Zhou Qinghou and his wife. The elder narrowed his eyes coldly. He looked at the first elder with doubts in his eyes. .
The third elder slowly shook his head:
"Great Elder, you are not the clan leader after all. At this critical moment for the whole clan to make a major decision, you cannot represent the whole clan. I request a referendum for the whole clan on this matter. Should we hand over the Qinghou couple and live in an ignoble life, or should we surrender to the wood demon? Government, I want to ultimately let all clan members make the decision." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
