After hearing this shocking news, Ji Miaoyan quickly turned her head and spat out a big mouthful of soup, but she still choked accidentally.
From the conversation just now, she was certain that the woman in front of her was the witch.
Even though she was very different from the one he knew.
But she was still terribly scared.
Let her stay with the other person.
What's the difference between this and feeding a tiger with one's own body?
"Eat slowly, child." Nangong Ruyun stood up and came over to pat Ji Miaoyan on the back.
"Hey, why are you sweating so much?" As soon as she touched the girl's back, Nangong Ruyun found that the sweat had stuck her clothes to her back.
"Cough cough cough!~" Ji Miaoyan choked badly and couldn't speak for a while.
She wanted to object, but her throat was choked, causing her to cough violently.
At this time, Zhao Kangping felt that his communication jade slip had received a message from someone.
He took it out and saw that it was a message from Dongfang Jingrou.
After he clicked on the message, his eyes widened.
Chapter 235 He Weiyuan's Resistance
Cooking for the people you love is a very happy thing.
Nangong Ruyun likes Zhao Kangping, but of course it is just the love of an elder for a younger person.
This meal was originally quite warm, like a small family gathering.
However, this warm atmosphere was broken after Zhao Kangping received news from Dongfang Jingrou.
"He Weiyuan actually resisted arrest." Zhao Kangping said to himself.
Previously, because of the evidence of the former city lord's embezzlement of public funds, Suzaku Hall had sent people to capture He Weiyuan.
But the news from Dongfang Jingrou indicated that the He family's manor had activated a protective formation, and now people from outside could not attack at all.
Oh, when Zhao sneaked into the He family manor before, he didn’t activate the formation. Zhao Kangping once thought that they didn’t have a formation.
However, this thing consumes a lot of spirit stones when it is turned on. If you don’t have a strong financial background, you really can’t keep it turned on all the time.
But his action was so stupid that he dragged the He family into the water in disguise.
Originally they only wanted to arrest He Weiyuan, but now the entire He family is an accomplice.
However, if you think about it carefully, the He family is not innocent either. Which of these He family members dares to say that they have not used the embezzled public funds?
Birds of a feather all deserve to be arrested.
"I'm going out for a while, you stay here." Zhao Kangping said to Ji Miaoyan.
However, the latter was still coughing. She wanted to refuse, but Zhao Kangping did not give her any chance.
"Ping'er, is something wrong?"
"Yes, it's a big deal. The former city lord is corrupt and resisting arrest. I have to go over and help."
"Be careful on the road."
As soon as Nangong Ruyun finished speaking, Zhao Kangping turned into a stream of light and flew away into the sky.
Ji Miaoyan was left alone, trembling in fear.
……
Outside the He family manor, it was surrounded by disciples of the Suzaku Hall.
This time, Suzaku Hall dispatched more than a thousand disciples of all levels. It looked grand, but actually more than nine hundred of them were in the Foundation Establishment Stage, nearly a hundred in the Golden Core Stage, and eight in the Nascent Soul Stage.
However, among these Nascent Souls, only the leader Dongfang Jingrou is in the late Nascent Soul stage, and the rest are all in the early stages.
However, because her spiritual roots had transformed into a single wood spiritual root, she had originally planned to switch to a new cultivation method. However, time was too short, so she was still using her previous cultivation method.
Back when she was in the underground mine, her Qi Sea was shattered and her cultivation was ruined.
After taking the Sanyang Qingyang Pill, her three spiritual roots turned into a single wood spiritual root. Her cultivation level also dropped a small realm compared to before.
However, her single spiritual root brought her an additional change, which was that her spiritual power was more condensed than before. So her strength was not weaker than before, but it was not stronger either.
Since the He family chose to resist, they could only resort to force.
Following Dongfang Jingrou's order, more than 2,000 Suzaku disciples launched an attack on the He family's formation.
For a moment, the flashes of swords and the shadows of magic lights of various colors kept flashing and hit the pale golden light shield.
Countless ripples instantly appeared in the light shield of the formation, and the colorful lights were very beautiful.
But apart from these, there are no other changes.
"There are fifty-three cultivators in the He family, six of whom are in the Nascent Soul stage and ten in the Golden Core stage. The rest are in the Foundation Establishment stage and Qi training stage, so there's nothing to worry about."
"Among them, He Weiyuan is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and the other five are in the early stage." Yan Qing reported to Dongfang Jingrou.
The two looked down at the He family manor from high above and could see that many cultivators had come out of it, seemingly ready for battle.
"Is there any movement from the five major families?" Dongfang Jingrou asked with a Suzaku mask on her face.
The He family is a relatively young family, having been established for only two hundred years. Its foundation cannot be compared with that of the five major families.
But they were separated from the Xue family and can be regarded as a vassal family of the Xue family.
The Xue family is powerful, but they rarely interfere in external affairs.
A family like the He family, which was founded by the second son of a son-in-law of the Xue family, may not be very important in their eyes.
After all, He Weiyuan's surname is not Xue, so he cannot enjoy everything the Xue family has given him like his brother. He can only rely on himself to fight for it.
However, he chose a path of no return.
He was in cahoots with the five major families and was tied to them.
The He family intermarried with these families, forming a huge network of interests.
Yan Qing said, "According to the latest report from the spies, the Yang family has dispatched fifty people, and they are on their way."
"They arrived at the mountain over there an hour ago."
"We still don't know their intentions. We don't know if they want to collude with the He family or take advantage of the situation."
"In addition, the Shen family has a late Nascent Soul cultivator. His whereabouts are currently unknown, but he is very likely here to support the He family."
These families are not only partners, but also have leverage over each other.
Once the He family is destroyed, the people of Suzaku Hall can use the He family as a breakthrough point to uncover many dirty deeds of other families.
"What about the other families? Apart from the Yang family and the Shen family, are the other three families going to be ignored?" Dongfang Jingrou was a little uneasy.
She didn't think that would happen.
Such a close-knit family may not prosper together, but they will definitely suffer together.
“No movement was found in the other companies.”
"Really? But don't let your guard down. Notice everyone and be prepared for any emergencies."
Dongfang Jingrou was still a little worried.
This is a good opportunity to eliminate the He family and we must not miss it.
The attacks on the He family's protective formation from below never stopped.
The formation was very powerful, and none of them understood the formation, so they could only break it by brute force.
Although this method is stupid, their attacks will increase the consumption of spirit stones used by the He family to maintain the formation.
When the spirit stones inside are almost consumed, the cultivators inside can only rely on their own spiritual power to maintain the formation.
But this is not a long-term solution.
The protective formation will be breached sooner or later.
However, it is precisely this time wasted by the formation that may bring about many variables.
It is uncertain whether the reinforcements from the five major families will arrive, or whether the He family has any other cards up its sleeve.
There are many cases where Suzaku Hall has encountered desperate resistance while enforcing the law.
In the past, when Suzaku cleaned up those rebellious families for the Holy Lord, her hands were almost always stained with blood.
Every time she did these dirty jobs, she would see countless eyes filled with resentment and hatred. She also knew how humans could become beasts when driven by their survival instinct.
And this time she will probably have to take action herself.
A long sword with a shiny blade and a dark green handle appeared in her hand.
Ever since the sword that had accompanied her for many years broke in the underground mine, she has not retrieved the broken sword.
Actually, that knife was only of the top grade Xuan grade, which could no longer meet her needs.
She had exchanged this knife for her contribution points at the resource exchange center in the Holy Land. It was of mid-grade earth grade and its power was several times higher than the previous one.
The name of this sword is Mo Jin. In addition to its extraordinary power, when the handle is held in battle, it can burst out with infinite vitality and slowly heal the injuries of the person holding the sword.
In addition, if the knife wielder uses wood-attribute spells, it can not only save more spiritual energy, but also increase the power of the spell slightly.
It is most suitable for a swordsman like her who has wood-attributed spiritual roots.
"Let's break the formation together." She originally wanted to wait for Zhao Kangping to come and break the formation, but time waits for no one.
Too late and things will change.
With the addition of Dongfang Jingrou, who was in the late Nascent Soul stage, their progress in breaking the formation by force was greatly accelerated.
After an incense stick of time, shocking cracks appeared on the light curtain of the He family's formation.
Just as Dongfang Jingrou raised her sword to chop down again, the He family's protective formation suddenly closed.
It was the people inside who took the initiative to close the formation.
This also made her pause.
Are the He family members going to surrender?
Suzaku doesn't think so.
At this moment, the He Family Manor was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere. The autumn wind from the mountains brought a biting chill, blowing on every woman in the Suzaku Hall.
Although they have the advantage in numbers, in terms of high-end combat power, if the secret support of the five major families is taken into account, they may not have the upper hand.
The fight between monks does not depend on the number of people, but high-end combat power is the key to victory or defeat.
The He family shut down the formation, probably because they were prepared for resistance.
On the surface, whether it is high-end combat power or grassroots combat power, Suzaku has the upper hand.
But the He family's hidden support may very well overturn the balance of power between them.
The first six people to emerge from the He Family Manor were led by the family head, He Weiyuan. The remaining five included He Weiyuan's second son, He Jinkui, and four servants employed by the He Family.
He Weiyuan held a heavy sword in his hand and carried it on his shoulder. He did not look like he was going to negotiate peace.
Then, behind him, a large group of guards armed with swords and axes filed out from the open gate of the He family. Each of them had strength ranging from Qi training to foundation building.
Until all these people were standing in line, about a hundred people came out.
But there was not a single young member of the He family.
"Suzaku? This is the first time I've seen this generation of Suzaku." He Weiyuan walked to the front of the He family. He looked at Dongfang Jingrou who was descending from the sky.
"He Weiyuan, you took out your weapon, do you want to resist?" Dongfang Jingrou scolded loudly.
However, He Weiyuan did not answer her immediately. Instead, he spread out his left hand, on which was a small porcelain bottle. He bit off the cork with his teeth and swallowed a red pill in the bottle.
Then, the other five Nascent Souls did the same.
The executioners took the same red pill.
After He Weiyuan swallowed the pill, he laughed viciously: "Hahaha, how can a cultivator like me just sit there and accept death? Even if I die, I'd rather die in battle."
He almost forgot how many years ago his last battle was.
A long time ago, he was also a passionate young man with beautiful dreams.
