Chapter 477 Tang Family Crisis
In Lanqing City, the city lord's mansion was in chaos.
Tang Zhen, the city lord who was in retreat, was alarmed and hurried out to investigate the situation.
"Zhan Tian is really dead?"
In the meeting hall, Tang Zhen was shocked.
It has been many years since the Tang family's strongman was killed. .
And the person who died was his third brother, Tang Zhantian, who was at the peak of Transcending Tribulation.
Among the descendants of the Tang family in their generation, apart from Tang Zhi, Tang Zhantian was the strongest, and even he had to give up three points.
Moreover, Tang Fengyue, the son of Tang Zhantian, inherited the perfect blood of the Tang family and was deeply favored by the ancestors. His status naturally rose accordingly. stuff in the bag.
But now, the successor of the next city lord has died for no apparent reason, which is a great shame to the Tang family.
Tang Zhen couldn't help turning his eyes to the man and woman in front of him.
These two are Tang Yaqing and Tang Lunhai, and they are also strong candidates for the next city lord.
If anyone had the motive to kill Tang Zhantian, these two would definitely bear the brunt.
After all, once Tang Zhantian died, they would have a greater chance of succeeding the city lord.
Seeing Tang Zhen's suspicious gaze, Tang Yaqing quickly explained: "Brother, you know me. I have always had a good relationship with my third brother. Fengyue's mother died early, and I have always regarded him as my own. It is the second brother. The relationship between him and the third brother has always been at odds..."
Seeing Tang Yaqing pointing the finger at him, Tang Lunhai snorted coldly: "You femme fatale, is now the time to sow discord? The third child just died, now is not the time for internal strife, seal off the surrounding area of Lanqing City as soon as possible, and Finding the murderer is the top priority, and the inspector of the city has informed me that there is a high probability that a suspicious person invaded Lanqing City and killed the third child today."
Tang Zhen frowned: "I just left customs, and I don't know about it yet, who can explain the situation to me in detail?"
Tang Lunhai immediately informed Tang Zhen of the news that someone had destroyed the large formation protecting the city, killed a Tang family deacon, many sword repairmen patrolling the city, and a large number of puppets.
"Impossible. The great formation that protects the city was set up by the ancestors back then, and it is difficult for even the strongest in the heavenly realm to break in."
"What if that person is a supreme being?" Tang Lunhai said.
Tang Zhen narrowed his eyes immediately.
If so, the severity of the matter may have exceeded his expectations.
"Where is Protector Tang Zhi, where is he now?" Tang Zhen asked.
"Since the guardian returned from the Holy Yuan Demon Sect last time, he has been living in seclusion in his own cave to practice hard, and has not come out yet."
"Contact him quickly and ask him to return quickly and guard Lanqing City. I suspect that the murderer has not left. Since he killed the third child, we may be his next targets." Tang Zhen said with a serious expression.
Although he knew that he didn't have many days to live, even so, he didn't want to die.
"Do you want to report to the ancestor?" Tang Yaqing said anxiously.
Although Tang Zhi is in the realm of heaven and man and has extraordinary combat power, he has just suffered a blow and his injuries have not healed yet, so he may not be able to withstand Lanqing City.
This time the crisis broke out, the other party came with bad intentions and tough tactics, so we had to be prepared for it.
Only when the ancestors come out of the mountain in person can they be sure of everything.
"The ancestor had an order before retreating. Don't disturb the old man until the time of life and death. If there is a major crisis that threatens the survival of the entire Tang family, the ancestor will naturally be able to sense it without you or me."
While the three of them were talking, they didn't realize that there was another person in the room.
At this moment, Zhao Mu was sitting swaggeringly in the meeting hall, listening to the conversation of the three of them closely.
His body was shrouded in a layer of space law, which made him clearly in this place, but seemed to be in a different dimension. With the strength of Tang Zhen and the other three, they couldn't detect his existence at all.
After hearing that, Zhao Mu was not interested in staying any longer, so he turned around and left.
He did a general search, and found that the overall strength of the Tang family seemed to be very strong, but in fact it was facing a situation where it was not enough.
Especially the top powerhouses, the number is actually quite rare.
Although Lanqing City is only the center of the Tang family's power, and there are many other powers scattered outside, even with the addition of other power branches, the Tang family's high-level combat power is still not much.
Logically speaking, with the background of the Tang family, it is impossible for only this expert to sit in charge.
Then there is only one reason.
Most of the masters of the Tang family have probably become the nourishment of the ancestors of the Tang family.
In order to further find out the current situation of the Tang family, Zhao Mu walked around the city lord's mansion.
This is the power center of the Tang family, second only to the ancestral land of the Tang family, and it should contain many secrets.
Under the carpet search of Zhao Mu's Myriad Immortal Eyes, he soon discovered that there is another universe and another universe under the City Lord's Mansion, and there is a large ancient underground palace.
But this underground palace is not connected to the outside world at all, and it seems that it can only enter it by relying on a specific teleportation array.
Naturally, this could not hinder Zhao Mu. He strolled into the void and reached the underground palace in an instant.
The interior space of the underground palace is very large, criss-crossing, divided into several floors, three small areas and a large area in the center.
Zhao Mu first inspected the outer layer, but there was nothing valuable, but he saw countless names engraved on the walls.
The names of these people are mainly Tang surnames, but they also have foreign surnames. A line of numbers is marked behind the names, ranging from zero to ten thousand, which should be their ages at the time of death.
No, to be precise, it was the age when they became the consumables for the ancestors of the Tang family.
Zhao Mu counted them carefully, and the total number of names exceeded three million.
But the total is much more than that.
More consumables, not even qualified to leave a name record.
Shaking his head, Zhao Mu walked towards the central area of the underground palace.
Before arriving, Zhao Mu was blocked.
Those were two demon king statues with three heads and thousands of hands. The moment they saw Zhao Mu, they woke up at the same time and started bombarding Zhao Mu in turn.
Another puppet.
Moreover, these two puppets gave Zhao Mu a different feeling from what he had encountered before. Their bodies contained the breath of life, but the breath was very heterogeneous, as if they were patched together with different lives.
The strength of the two puppets is very strong, at the peak level of crossing the catastrophe, and their bodies are hard and firm, comparable to the highest-grade Taoist artifacts.
Even if the practitioners at the peak of Transcendence Tribulation come, it is estimated that it will be difficult to defeat these two puppets.
Zhao Mu is not afraid, but he is keenly aware that there is a special formation connection between these two puppets and the space behind the door.
He could tell at a glance that in addition to guarding the two puppets, they were also tied to the space behind the door for life and death.
If these two puppets are killed, the space behind the door will activate a self-destruct formation, erasing all traces.
Using this method to protect the secrets behind the door, it seems that the patriarch of the Tang family is still very cautious.
