Chapter 128 The scapegoat
"If I remember correctly, Long Chao should be very proficient in formations, right? He seems to have the ability to break the formations of the protectors." Someone in the crowd said, good guy, now his suspicion is even greater.
At this time, Long Xuan said again: "If I remember correctly, he seems to have a small strong Gu, right? Does it matter if he has a small strong Gu and his heart was pierced? Why is he lying on the ground pretending to be dead?"
Good guy, as soon as Long Xuan said this, his suspicion became even greater. Everyone looked at Long Chao with wide eyes, and their eyes became even weirder.
How could anyone with a small powerful Gu hide it from his eyes? Long Xuan didn't want to wrong him. His behavior of pretending to be dead was indeed very abnormal. What Long Chen said when he kicked him was also very thought-provoking. If he and Hun If the family didn't collude, it would be considered a ghost.
Since he is indeed in collusion with the Hun family, let him simply take the blame for himself. For such a person who cheats and cheats, there is no need to have any psychological burden.
At this time, Long Chao was completely confused. No one knew that he had a small strong Gu. How did this person know?
He didn't have time to think about it. At this time, Long Wanli walked over quickly with a ferocious expression, then grabbed his collar and lifted him up. He dug into his abdomen and took out a bloody little strong Gu. .
Seeing this Gu worm, Long Wanli laughed angrily: "Wow! It's really good! You really impress me."
"First use the little strong Gu to fake death, and then after everyone gets out, you come back to life and steal the holy tree secretly, then lie on the ground and continue to pretend to be dead."
"You have the nerve to ask what happened after you woke up!"
"You are really good at acting!"
Long Wanli threw Long Chao heavily to the ground and shouted loudly: "Come here, take this ungrateful thing down and torture him."
"I want to know all the collusion between him and the Hun clan, and find out if Long Chen was also assassinated by him!"
Two savage-looking Long Gu cultivators immediately walked out of the crowd. With ferocious expressions, they grabbed his shoulders and dragged him out.
At this time, Long Chao's face turned pale. He had fainted from the kick just now. He really didn't know what happened.
He didn't know how the branches of the sacred tree were broken. He still doesn't know what happened. Why did he become a suspect when he woke up, and all the clues pointed to him.
The matter of destroying the formation, killing Long Chen, and colluding with the Soul clan really cannot withstand investigation. Once these things are verified, the crime of destroying the holy tree will be completely pinned on him. It is simply unfair. Death, no matter how you explain it, no one will believe it.
At this time, he finally realized that he was afraid, his eyes showed fear, and he hurriedly shouted: "The master of the house is wronged! The branches of the holy tree were broken and it really has nothing to do with me..."
His voice became farther and farther away, and everyone showed disgust and looked at him with contempt.
"Hmph! I've long seen that his character is not good, but I didn't expect that he could even do such a thing. What good will it do him if the family's strength is greatly reduced? It's not good for himself at the expense of others."
"Then there is no need to think about it? His Evil Dragon Emperor's Eyes are of the highest quality, and he possesses one of the top ten ability soul seeds. Once transformed perfectly, he will be an invincible existence at the same level. How can he be willing to accept the Evil Dragon Emperor's Eyes in an imperfect state? Metamorphosis.”
"Then it can't be at the expense of destroying the family, right? Look at Long Ziyan. He has exactly the same Evil Dragon Emperor's eyes as him, and his ability is also soul seed. Why didn't he do the same thing?"
"It seems that Long Chao is definitely doomed this time. For being a traitor to the clan, he must bear the punishment of being bitten by thousands of insects according to the clan rules. His body will be filled with insect eggs and then eaten bit by bit by the larvae from the inside out. , this kind of pain is worse than death, and the speed of death is extremely slow. You can’t think of relief within three months.”
"That's what you deserve..."
The crowd talked a lot and slowly dispersed under Long Wanli's order, but the heated discussion lingered for a long time.
This was destined to be a sleepless night. If such a big thing happened, it would cause quite a stir in the whole clan.
The eye-washing activity will definitely not be able to continue. The sacred tree was seriously injured and needs to recuperate. Everyone's Dragon Tears rewards will be cancelled, and can only be replaced with contribution points rewards.
The following sacrificial activities were held on time, but there were more sacrifices. After a large number of cattle and sheep were slaughtered, the Long clan people poured blood around the sacred tree. It is not difficult to see that the sacred tree was probably cultivated using blood as the food. host.
Long Xuan has seen a spirit tree that drinks magma, but seeing a spirit tree that drinks blood now will not surprise him at all.
However, if you want to plant Shenlongmu, you may have to raise a large number of cattle and sheep at home, and building a large pasture may become your next task.
Building a pasture requires a large area of land, and the pasture must be sufficient. His land is notoriously large, and it can really meet the needs of building a pasture.
In this way, he would have fresh beef and mutton to eat in the future. Thinking of the hot pot in his previous life, Long Xuan's throat twitched and he couldn't help but feel greedy. There is a chili elixir in this world, and the spiciness is much higher. in previous lives.
At this time, the whole clan was solemnly worshiping the holy tree, but he was thinking about food and worshiped without any piety.
He didn't pay attention to what the head of the family said on the altar, he was already out of his mind.
It was not until the end that everyone knelt down and worshiped around the holy tree, making wishes to the holy tree one after another. Long Xuan looked pious, and made a wish in his heart that he and Long Ziyan could achieve enlightenment as soon as possible, and then the long-lasting sacrificial activities finally came to an end. it's over.
Long Xuan had already been impatient. As soon as the sacrificial ceremony was over, he hurried home. He couldn't wait to study the cutting technology of the spiritual tree.
However, as soon as he arrived home, he immediately noticed that there were people in the magic cube formation. He couldn't help but frowned deeply. Who would break into a private house in the middle of the night?
He impatiently checked the people trapped in the magic cube formation, but when he saw that two people released the breath of the spiritual sea realm Gu cultivator, his face suddenly changed.
"A spiritual sea period strongman actually came to visit? I can't afford to offend, I can't afford to offend, let them be trapped inside."
Having said that, he no longer paid attention to the few people in the formation who were about to go crazy, and walked quickly to the top of the mountain.
...
It was already late at night, in the attic of the owner of the family.
"How is the interrogation going?" Long Wanli asked in a deep voice with a gloomy face.
The ten clan elders showed signs of fatigue and said helplessly: "After investigating for a whole night, whether it was the destruction of the formation or the death of Long Chen, it was all done by him. It was indeed him who colluded with the Hun family to lead the enemy to attack." "We found his letter on the corpse of the Hun family Gu cultivator. The evidence is solid and there is no possibility of overturning the case." "Just as we guessed before, his motive was to obtain more dragon milk for the evil dragon emperor, but we never found where he hid the broken branches, and he refused to admit it." "This guy is very stubborn, and he is still lucky, holding on to the last glimmer of fantasy. If we don't bring the evidence to him, He would never give up before the incident. If we hadn't found his letter in Hun's storage bag, he would not admit that he had colluded with foreign tribes. "
Long Wanli slammed the table heavily, his eyes released raging anger, and he said angrily: "This traitor dares to be stubborn. If he didn't do it, why is he lying on the ground pretending to be dead?"
"No need to look for it. Even if you find the branches of the holy tree, it is impossible to reconnect them. Just use the insect punishment on him. If I don't cut him into pieces, it will be difficult to eliminate my hatred!"
Long Wanli lost his previous rationality in anger and planned to torture Long Chao to death with the most cruel punishment.
"What about Long Chao's evil dragon emperor eye? All his poisonous insects have been forced by me to cancel the blood contract relationship. "Shizu Lao asked tentatively.
Long Wanli slowly calmed down, calmed down his anger, and said: "His evil dragon emperor eye has a divine skill soul seed, which is too important for the family."
"Long Ziyan is the champion of this Dou Gu Conference. I think we should give her this evil dragon emperor eye as a champion reward."
"The ability of this evil dragon emperor eye is the same as her evil dragon emperor eye. Both are soul seeds that are rare in a thousand years. Let her use the second transformation route of the evil dragon emperor eye to transform, which is enough to make her evil dragon emperor eye transform perfectly."
"Once the soul seed transforms perfectly, it will be too terrible. Our clan will definitely be in the future. A super strong man will emerge. "
The ten elders nodded and said, "I was thinking the same thing. Long Chao's motive of betraying the clan has already sounded the alarm for us. Although I trust Long Ziyan very much, it is better to completely eliminate this uncertainty."
Long Wanli also said with lingering fear, "This kind of thing has happened more than once in the history of my clan. There have even been several times when the family was severely damaged and almost exterminated. "
"Until modern times, the spiritual power of heaven and earth has been gradually exhausted, resulting in the disappearance of a large area of materials for refining the evil dragon emperor's eye. The evil dragon emperor's eye with reduced materials has been difficult to awaken its heaven-defying ability , so this kind of thing never happened again."
"I didn't expect that such a thing would happen during my term as the head of the family. It's also my fault. I was familiar with the family history but relaxed my vigilance in this regard, which almost caused a disaster."
Long Wanli's face suddenly became much older, and he sighed and said: "As for the rest of Long Chao's poisonous insects, they will be considered as contributions and placed in the treasure house."
"But the traitor's poisonous insects must be very few people willing to take them, so let's reduce the contribution a little."
Long Wanli changed the subject and said: "Let's not talk about this matter for now, things are over and over. "Let's write this in the clan history so that future generations can learn from history. We still need to look forward." "Call Long Ao now. I'll ask him how confident he is in refining the Xuanlong Pill. The Xuanlong Pill is the most suitable pill for the Long bloodline breakthrough. If you can refine it yourself, even if you will consume a lot of materials due to failure, it is better than buying pills from outside." "Cultivating a second Gu King is the most urgent thing for our clan now." "Okay, I'll call him now." Thinking of this, the ten clan elders also showed expectations and immediately walked towards the Red Jade Peak of Long Lao. ...
