Southwest of Ancheng, fifty miles away.
There is an abandoned mining area among the rolling mountains.
This place is extremely remote, with only one road leading to Anseong, and even the nearest village is several kilometers away.
Inside the mining area, around a relatively hidden pit, more than two hundred figures dragged hundreds of tightly tied birds and animals, threw them to the edge of the pit, and then disemboweled them and bled them.
In the open space dozens of meters away from the edge of the pit, there are still tens of thousands of corpses of various animals piled up like a mountain.
"Hoho..."
"Woo..."
For a moment, in the sky above the huge mining area, deep beast roars and sad bird calls intertwined, converging into a terrifying and strange sound, which was frightening and terrifying.
At the bottom of the pit, the blood of tens of thousands of birds and animals had gathered into a pool of blood, and the smell was so fishy.
This pool of blood seems to have been eroded by some evil force. Not only is it bubbling and bubbling, but puffs of black gas are also diffused from time to time...
It is said that this mining area was haunted in the past, and miners often went crazy for no apparent reason. In the end, their bodies turned black and they bled to death.
Even the monks and Taoists who were invited to perform the practice were frightened to death.
The mine has since been abandoned.
But starting half a year ago, this group of people suddenly entered the mining area, claiming to be from the exploration team, and they have been entrenched here since then and have never left.
What the outside world doesn't know is that the more than two hundred people stationed in the mining area under the banner of an exploration team are actually the elite backbones of the eight major families.
The eight Martial Emperor realm experts who led the team were all respected clan elders.
The reason why the eight major families focused on this abandoned mine and secretly sent a large number of elites to station them was because they discovered some abnormalities by chance.
But after half a year of investigation and exploration, they had determined half a month ago that the truth hidden under the mining area was actually a place sealed by evil spirits.
Although this sealed place is evil and dangerous, it also represents a huge opportunity.
Thinking of the high probability that there would be soul bones and god fragments under the mining area, the heads of the eight major families became red-eyed, and finally decided to block the news and excavate privately.
They didn't even report it to Prince Jin's Mansion.
This is why Ye Fan didn't know that there was a big evil spirit underground in Ancheng until he met the little evil spirit who knew everything.
In the past half month, more than 200 strong men from the eight major families who have stayed here have excavated some distance.
They even captured a large number of birds and animals in the mountains and forests, and locked them all in the warehouse in the mining area.
This is preparation for the final step of blood sacrifice to evil spirits.
According to the original progress, it would have taken at least half a month to dig out the underground seal. However, today the eight major families suddenly suffered a catastrophe, changes occurred, and the situation took a turn for the worse.
After receiving the news, the eight clan elders who stayed here immediately contacted the newly elected acting head of the clan via satellite encrypted phone.
In the end, all parties reached a consensus, and the eight acting family heads pretended to surrender.
On the one hand, they delayed time, and on the other hand, they deceived Ye Fan and the Lu family, and rescued hundreds of elites who were detained and still kneeling outside the gate of the Lu family back to their clan.
The eight clan elders stationed in the mining area led more than two hundred elites to immediately kill the birds and beasts in the warehouse, perform blood sacrifices in advance, break the seal, and release the evil spirits.
All of this is currently going on nervously but orderly...
Once the seal is broken and the evil spirit emerges, Ancheng will be in chaos. Ye Fan and Fan will make an alliance, and the power of the Lu family will be completely contained.
At that time, it was the best time for the eight major families to flee and move to the capital to join King Jin.
Even if this evil spirit is powerful enough, it can severely injure Ye Fan and others.
The eight major families made a desperate move, risked their lives to stay, fought back with all their strength, and made a comeback in one fell swoop. It was by no means impossible...
Lu Family Courtyard.
The eight acting family heads knelt straight in a row in front of Lu Zhongting, Wei Zhengyang, Lu Xue and other senior officials of the Lu family.
He was wiping his tears and begging.
"Second Master Lu, Mr. Wei, we know we were wrong..."
"It's just that the previous heads of the family were too arrogant and arrogant, but now they have committed suicide and apologized."
"Now that we have been elected to temporarily take over the position of family head, we are willing to dedicate all the resources in the family treasury to the Lu family to show our sincerity."
"I hope the Lu family will be forgiving and give us eight families a chance to reform."
"I am waiting here to swear to the Tianmeng that from now on, the eight major families will follow the Lu family and follow and support them from generation to generation, no matter what they are driven by."
"If you violate this oath, you will be sent by heaven, your family will be destroyed, your clan will die, and your clan's bloodline will be cut off..."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The eight old guys spoke sincerely and had a sincere attitude, but everyone in Ancheng who was watching around them couldn't bear it, and they whispered to each other.
Most people tend to hope that the Lu family can be magnanimous and turn their conflicts with the eight major families into friendship.
This actually made things difficult for Lu Zhongting and others.
The Lu family was so humiliated today. Even in the past, the eight major families had robbed the military supplies supplied by the Lu family to the Tianlong Army more than once or twice.
If they were just released like this, everyone in the Lu family would really feel unwilling to do so.
But the situation before us is here.
The eight major families not only spent all their treasury resources to apologize, but even the head of the family and the executor of the assassination of Ye Fan committed suicide in the Lu family compound.
In addition, eight acting family heads swore a poisonous oath to the Tianmeng in public, and everyone in Ancheng present witnessed it...
Putting all this together, if the Lu family still insists on going on a killing spree, they will kill all the members of the eight major families.
Once this matter spreads, not only the Lu family, but also Mark, who is currently in the Lu family's backyard, will probably be criticized.
Just when they were in a dilemma, there was sudden movement in the corner of the courtyard behind them.
"Violent..."
"Crash!"
Du Laogui, who had been standing there practicing Golden Rooster Independence for a long time, suddenly raised his head and roared violently, with a ferocious look on his face.
This was obviously a flashback, and a long roar completely exhausted the last bit of his remaining life force.
The icy cold air that had stopped at his neck immediately surged up, freezing his head in just half an instant.
Immediately afterwards, only half of Du Laogui's body fell forward. After falling to the ground, it shattered into countless frozen fragments and disappeared into nothingness with a crashing sound...
This scene was so tragic that even Lu Zhongting's eyelids twitched slightly when he saw it, and he couldn't bear to look directly at it.
The tangled weighing in my heart seemed to be shaken by this scene.
Just when he was about to speak out and reluctantly agreed to the surrender pleas of the eight acting family heads, Ye Fan's extremely cold voice suddenly came from the direction of the Lu family's backyard.
"Eight major families, you dare to act against the will and ignore the lives of millions of people in Ancheng. It is simply not a pity to die!"
"Guo Li, Yu Qiang, take action immediately, everyone from the eight major families is waiting, no one will be spared..." (End of Chapter)
