Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 825 Downturn
The person who spoke was Ke Qi, the sixth adopted son among many adopted sons.

Lao Liu's brain has always been quick, but he is a little timid, so the tasks assigned to him are all relatively obvious work, and he just needs to do the accounting clearly.

It's not wrong to express my opinion now, but...

Just as he said, even if the man was really killed by the Green Demon, they had no evidence to prove it.

After all... the Green Demon Envoy is still staying in their territory and doesn't even have the chance to go out. How can he kill someone right under their noses?

Although he is the messenger of the Demon Capital, he is still a demon after all. With so many people in the imperial court, how could they really let this guy walk around the palace? He must be restricted in his residence and cannot even step out of the door. He is under strict surveillance.

Therefore, what Lao Liu said is nonsense.

“Human skin!”

As if he could see the questioning looks from the people around him, Lao Liu couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Aren't demons the best at disguising themselves as humans? With human skin on, who knows if he actually went out last night!"

In this world, it is not the one who has the loudest voice that is persuasive.

So even though Lao Liu raised his voice, the people present still showed no change in expression, and they did not feel that what Lao Liu said was convincing at all.

Finally, the third brother, who was relatively calm, spoke up: "Sixth brother, do you think that the Green Demon Envoy's covert tactics can work in the palace? Can it work under our noses? Do you think that our foster father is incompetent, or that the other eight clans are too stupid, or that the current emperor is..."

"Don't dare!"

Pfft!
Lao Liu was so scared that he knelt on the ground and banged his head heavily on the ground. His voice was trembling and he seemed to be about to cry.

"Godfather! Godfather, that's not what I meant! Third brother is slandering me! I didn't mean what Third brother thought!"

"Then you still..."

The third brother wanted to press on with his victory, but suddenly he felt his adoptive father's gaze sweeping over him. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly knelt down.

"Foster father, I just think that Sixth Brother's idea is too naive. It's not, it's not..."

The gaze from above has been withdrawn at this time.

"What do you think? Speak up."

The first wave of attempts has apparently ended.

It is said that they suspected that Eunuch Xu died in an internal struggle, but even the leader of Tianji Pavilion himself only thought that there was such a possibility and did not really think that it was done by other adopted sons.

Because although Eunuch Xu, the adopted son, occupies the position of the eldest brother, his actual strength, ability, and even value have reached a certain limit.

Since its early years, it has been on the decline and gradually gave up its dominant position. However, it is because he is highly trusted and has always been entrusted with important tasks by the head of the Tianji Pavilion that his status is not low.

In fact, he has several adopted sons whose strength, potential, and abilities in all aspects are far superior to Eunuch Xu. It is only a matter of time before they succeed Eunuch Xu. There is no need to resort to such low-level means as killing people in advance.

Maintaining the brotherly relationship well and parting ways in peace, Eunuch Xu handed over the banner and let him step down smoothly. This is the scene that the leader of Tianji Pavilion wants to see, and it is also the truth that the adopted sons below can understand.

After all, Eunuch Xu has followed the Pavilion Master for so many years, and even if he has no merits, he has worked hard. The Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion also hopes that this adopted son can have a good life in his later years.

Unexpectedly, such bad news came suddenly.

The sixth and third brothers, who were kneeling on the ground, knew that the crisis was over, but they still knelt on the ground and dared not come.

As for the godfather's questions, they didn't even dare to respond.

The pressure was suddenly passed on to other people.

Godfather, I don’t like silence.

Because silence means being a lazy person and having no ability to solve problems.

A person without ability is not qualified to become the adopted son of his adoptive father.

They have no blood relationship, and if they don't have some skills, these people present would not be qualified to become the disciples of Tianji Pavilion, one of the eight sects in the current court!

So, someone spoke up immediately.

"Foster father, in my opinion, there are many strange things about my eldest brother's death. Considering my eldest brother's identity, status, and strength, the possibility of him being killed by an external enemy is very low."

He is the ninth among the adopted sons.

Although he is ranked ninth, he is actually the oldest among all the adopted sons present, and looks like an old man with a frail appearance.

For people who practice martial arts, there are certain ways to modify their appearance if they want to be young, mature or old. Lao Jiu shows himself in this posture, which is a sign of weakness. He shows weakness to the enemy so that he can find the best time to attack, which is also in line with his style of doing things.

Secondly, he is really the oldest, and if he gets someone with delicate skin and tender flesh, it will give the other brothers a bad impression.

Thirdly, he already had this image when he became his adoptive father, and it would be inappropriate to change it.

"So what you mean is..."

The head of Tianji Pavilion looked at his ninth son.

This immediately doubled the pressure on Lao Jiu!

The eight meridians, the eight meridians, are the eight meridians of Daxia!
The head of any of the eight meridians can bring turmoil to the entire Great Xia Dynasty with just a flick of his finger!
Faced with such an existence, even if one excludes the factor of its own strength, that identity alone is enough to make people feel a little breathless and nervous.

Taking a deep breath, Lao Jiu said cautiously.

"Foster father, in my opinion, the accident of big brother is probably related to the people of the other eight clans in the court. After all, considering big brother's situation, apart from the demons, in the whole capital, I am afraid that only the people of the other eight clans who are at odds with us dare to attack big brother, right?"

reasonable.

And there is a certain basis for this.

Because although the eight meridians have been fighting for a long time, they have now formed a certain stable relationship, and the conflicts and solutions are no longer so intense.

However, there are still a lot of conflicts, private grudges, and old grudges from the past.

It is hard to guarantee that it is not some enemy left by the eldest brother because of his work for the Tianji Pavilion, who found an opportunity to kill him. But even so, if the eldest brother can be killed, there must be the shadow of other eight veins behind him. Without the support of equal forces, it is impossible to find an opportunity to kill the eldest brother with just passion.

Many of the adopted sons nodded, and some even frowned, starting to think about who Eunuch Xu had offended recently and what ruthless people he had offended in the past.

"Golden and Silver Leopard, who is ranked fourth on the wanted list, had a feud with my eldest brother, but the injuries on my eldest brother's body don't match the methods used by Golden and Silver Leopard."

"That was a long time ago. Besides, how could a wanted criminal have the chance to attack my brother in the capital? In my opinion, there must be someone else, maybe from the Demon Front Army..."

The voice lowered.

There are some things that you can doubt but cannot really say out loud.

They didn't know all of Eunuch Xu's old enemies, but they could list a lot of people who were qualified to kill Eunuch Xu, so there were quite a lot of suspects.

"Godfather, I don't think something is right." When everyone's thoughts were completely drawn to the infighting among the Eight Veins, the second son, who was ranked second and had been silent the whole time, slowly spoke.

With long shiny silver hair and a handsome face like a gentleman, he stands out among the adopted sons who look middle-aged or elderly.

Putting away the folding fan in his hand, the second son slowly stood up and looked directly at the head of the Tianji Pavilion.

"Foster father, we can't deceive ourselves anymore. Give up your fantasy. In this world, how many people dare to kill my brother? How many people dare to do it at this time?"

"I'm afraid that the Third Prince discovered that we, the Tianji Pavilion, had secretly surrendered to the Seventh Prince. We were wavering and making preparations, and he discovered us. That's why he gave us a warning and asked us to correct our attitude."

"Today he is the eldest brother, tomorrow it could be me, then the third brother, the fourth brother, the fifth brother..."

Whoever the second son pointed the folding fan at would quickly lower his head nervously.

Unlike the eldest adopted son, Eunuch Xu, who is already on the decline, the second adopted son, who is now standing at the top and is full of vigor and vitality, is the strongest among all the adopted sons of Tianji Pavilion. He will firmly take over the position of the eldest brother and become the true right-hand man of his adoptive father.

Since the matter involved the prince, the attitude of the head of Tianji Pavilion became hesitant.

"The Third Prince trusts us very much and has been working with us for so many years. Holding our lineage is undoubtedly a huge help to him. Even if it is to maintain his current position, he would not do anything to us, let alone Changzui."

The second son half-knelt down and said, "Adoptive father, how can we explain this matter clearly? Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. How can we know what the Third Prince is thinking? To put it another way, if it wasn't the Third Prince who did it, then it must be the Seventh Prince. He was fed up with our wavering and killed my eldest brother directly. He then pretended to be ignorant and let us guess on our own. In fact, he was hinting at us to make a decision as soon as possible, to draw a clear line with the Third Prince and follow him completely!"

"..."

The head of Tianji Pavilion was silent, tapping the table lightly with the joints of his index fingers.

"Sir Seventh Prince, you may have that thought, but I still don't believe that he would be so reckless. He was drunk to death. Apart from forcing us to express our opinions, all other results would be bad for him. If Sir Seventh Prince really did such a stupid thing, and we continue to follow him, we would undoubtedly be heading for a dead end."

The second son frowned.

"Since godfather said so, I have another candidate in mind..."

"enough!"

The head of Tianji Pavilion interrupted directly.

Talking about the two princes one after another was already extremely stressful for everyone present.

As for the third prince that the second son wanted to bring out, the head of the Tianji Pavilion himself knew clearly who he wanted to talk about.

Of course, it was the most mysterious Second Prince who had just returned to Beijing!
Of course, there is a motive and the reasons are sufficient, but the Second Prince's identity is sensitive and he is favored and respected by the emperor.

Even though he had been missing for so many years, he was not blamed when he suddenly returned to the capital. As if nothing had happened, he inherited all the rights, status, and glory that a prince deserved.

Therefore, before he understood the emperor's intentions, he would never make any unnecessary speculations about the Second Prince.

After pondering for a moment, the head of Tianji Pavilion said in a deep voice.

"Let's send someone down to investigate first. The person behind this is not important for now. First, find out who killed Chang Zui and give me a result."

"I want... to give Changzui an explanation!"

The relationship between father and son has lasted for many years. Although they are both fathers-in-law, it is just a physical defect and has nothing to do with human friendship.

Just as debts are wiped out when a person dies, those not-so-pleasant memories of the past begin to be gradually beautified, and what remains are the heartwarming fragments.

The Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion needs to give an explanation for that feeling, and also needs to... give an explanation to the capital, to the other eight sects, and to the people of the world!
Let these people know how their Tianji Pavilion works! Can anyone touch the people in their Tianji Pavilion?

It's okay to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but the knife must be broken first.

How to negotiate with the person holding the knife is a matter for the future.

"Yes!!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Everyone could see that this time, my godfather was really angry.

If Tianji Pavilion doesn't take drastic measures to resolve this matter, all of their adopted sons will be in trouble!
Raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while.

No matter how casual you are on weekdays, now that the leader of a lineage has spoken, if the violent organization, Tianji Pavilion, does not start to operate and demonstrate its absolute strength, then your good days will be over.

All the adopted sons withdrew one after another.

On weekdays, each of them is responsible for different parts and affairs of the Tianji Pavilion.

But at this moment, they need to reunite as a group and become... the real Tianji Pavilion.

Get moving.

With Tianji Pavilion as the source, like the root of a big tree, spreading infinitely downwards and branching out like branches, the terrifying and huge organization began to operate.

The terrifying energy contained in this force is enough to make anyone in the capital tremble.

The entire capital city began to surge with undercurrents, and the final destination, the target of the spearhead, was... Bo Mansion!
……

"What? Take me out to lead the team on a mission?"

Boli's eyes widened.

As the second sister in the family, her status in the family is not high.

Because the most favored person in the family is the younger brother Bofu.

It's the good thing in the family, but it's basically not her turn to enjoy it.

Unexpectedly, grandpa suddenly assigned her a special task.

And we're going to set off tonight.

"Will Senior Diao come with us?"

After digesting this information and being excited to try it out, Boli suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly.

The great elder of Bo Mansion frowned.

"Nonsense! How can Lord Diao, a guest, accompany you? Remember, although you are the leader this time, several other young masters will also travel with you. You must be responsible for taking care of their safety."

Boli pursed his lips and didn't take the words to heart.

He and his other brothers just can't stand each other, so who cares whether to protect them or not.

"Okay, go back and prepare first, I have other things to do."
