C167 He Had No Choice but to Do so

"Do you know why I didn't do it?" Elder Xiao said coldly and stood firmly on the spot. Dugu Ming gritted her teeth, "I see that you dare! As long as I am here, you can forget about hurting a person from the Dugu family. "

Elder Xiao knew that he could not convince Dugu Ming, so he could only sigh. "That's right. As long as you're here, I won't do anything to Dugu family. After all, my biggest threat right now is Dugu Kuang's death. To me, Dugu family is just an ordinary wealthy family. "

Dugu Ming stared at Elder Xiao with her eyes fixed on him. She was holding a melon seed in her hand. She buried his head deep into her chest. Elder Xiao continued, "But if you're not here, then I can't guarantee the existence of the entire Dugu family. After all, the people under my command aren't good people. What would they do? It's not something I can stop. "

Dugu Ming shouted sternly, "You are their leader. Why can't you stop them?" Elder Xiao finally smiled and said. "No, I am not their leader at all. They only have one leader, and that's you! You and your son! Only you can stop them. Only you can protect the Dugu family!"

Dugu Ming's heart was beating rapidly. She knew that. . . Elder Xiao would do whatever he said. There was no room for negotiation. She looked outside the door, but there was no trace of Xiao Nanfeng. "I want to see Xiao Nanfeng. "

Elder Xiao shook his head with a bitter smile. "Don't worry about that. As long as you agree to my request, you can meet anyone you want. " Dugu Ming sighed, "Let me see him first. We can talk about other things later. "

Up until now, she still did not believe that she was Devil Cult Master's daughter, so she hoped that Xiao Nanfeng would appear at this time and stand up for her and Dugu family.

She suddenly thought of her big brother. At this time, if her big brother appeared and brought Master Gu Chen along, wouldn't he be able to fight Elder Xiao to the death?

"Don't think that someone will stand up for the Dugu family. To be honest, the Dugu family has come to an end. The entire Gusu City is under our control, unless someone has grown wings. It's impossible to enter and exit the Gusu City. "

Dugu Ming's last glimmer of hope had been shattered. She sighed. "What exactly do you want me to do? Even if I am, what can I do now? I know nothing about your teachings. I can't do anything. "

Elder Xiao nodded in satisfaction. He had finally achieved his goal. He knew that as long as one person was willing to let go. . . Everything was already moving towards the goal you set. He smiled and said: "Since Miss said so, then I won't beat around the bush anymore. I ask you to inherit your father's will and become the new leader of our Church. I have left this position for you for more than 20 years! "

Dugu Ming swallowed her saliva and her heart almost jumped out of her mouth. Originally, it was already disgusting enough for her to admit that she was Devil Cult Master's daughter. Now, she wanted her to become the Sect Leader of the Devil Cult. This was simply a pipe dream.

Dugu Ming secretly scolded Elder Xiao in her heart, but she said, "Unfortunately, I really don't know anything. Of course, I only know how to take care of children. So in my opinion, it is better for Elder Xiao to find someone else to take care of this matter. We cannot delay the important matters of your sect. "

Elder Xiao shook his head, "Our sect has no leader for more than twenty years. Many disciples left angrily because of this matter. But if they know that the sect master still has a bloodline left in the human world, and if they know that you have regained control of the sect's affairs, then. . . Then if these brothers are still alive, they will definitely come here. . . Meet us. At that time, it won't be a situation where the enemy is stronger than us. "

Dugu Ming's heart trembled slightly. She did not expect that she would have such an important role. She hesitated and shook her head," I really cannot do this. Actually, no matter who you find to do it, no one would doubt the authenticity of this person. I think you should let me go. "

Elder Xiao's expression suddenly changed. He said coldly: "If you really don't want to be the Sect Leader of my Divine Sect, I won't force you either. Then there is only one way. That is to let your son do it! "

When these words came out, Dugu Ming was so scared that she almost fainted. After a long time, she finally reacted and stood up as if she had gone crazy. "Impossible! It is impossible for Little Melon to become Devil Cult Master!"

Elder Xiao coughed twice. "It's the Divine Sect!"

Dugu Ming shook her head. "I don't care what you came here for today. If you push us into a corner. . . I can do anything. No matter what you want to do, just don't hit on my son! "

"So, you have to take the lead in this matter. Otherwise, our Divine Sect can only invite a child who is waiting to be fed to become our Sect Leader. This is both our misfortune and our child's misfortune, don't you agree?" Elder Xiao spoke confidently without showing any impatience.

Dugu Ming let out a long breath. She compromised. In front of the child's problem, she had no choice but to compromise. This was the glory of motherly nature and also the helplessness of motherly nature.

Murong Ke was determined to attack Gusu City not only because his family was still there, but also because the people under his command were restless, especially those who were controlled by the devil religion.

They were getting more and more unstable. The longer they stayed in Gusu City, the easier it would be for things to change. It would be better for them to fight until the end. If they launched the general attack now, they could still stabilize the situation.

Zuo Xiping's attitude toward this battle was very cold, because he knew very well how difficult it was to attack a city. These people were not professional soldiers, and their hands and feet were all powerful. Facing the impregnable Gusu City, they were still helpless.

Murong Ke gathered the leaders of some important sects. Many of them had lost control of their emotions. Some of them even wanted to smash the walls of the Gusu City.

"I'm sure everyone understands the current situation. Since it has already reached this stage, my plan is to take down Gusu City in one go. I wonder what you all think?" Murong Ke spoke very frankly, without any intention of explaining it in a roundabout way.

Those people who were filled with righteous indignation rubbed their palms together, waiting for Murong Ke's order to rush towards Gusu City. Only at this time did Murong Ke continue, "Since everyone has the same intention. What do you think?"

He walked to a sand table and pointed at the geographical position on it. "We are now in the east of Gusu City. The east gate is the biggest and most difficult place to break through in Gusu City. If we go straight to the east gate. . . The result will be hard to predict. Therefore, we have to take a detour. One group of people is feigning an attack at the east gate, while the other group is charging in from the west gate. The gap between the two gates is dozens of miles. I think they won't be able to keep up with us with their numbers. "

These people nodded their heads when they heard this. They had only heard about war from the storyteller. As for how to fight, they knew nothing at all. Now that they heard what Murong Ke said, they couldn't help but admire him even more. All the previous conflicts were thrown to the back of his mind.

Zuo Xiping nodded at his actions. However, he had a very big doubt, and that was how he should attack the city. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be a problem to take down Gusu City with a force of over ten thousand people. However, the key was where to find the siege equipment. This was the top priority right now.

Murong Ke didn't consider this at all. Zuo Xiping didn't want to expose Murong Ke because it was too important to stabilize the morale of the army.

After the crowd dispersed, Murong Ke stared at Zuo Xiping who had yet to leave. He sighed and said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Zuo. "

Zuo Xiping was slightly stunned. "I didn't say anything. How can I help you?" Murong Ke smiled. "It is precisely because you did not say a word that you helped me a lot. As for how to attack the city, I hope you can teach me. "

Zuo Xiping shook his head. "I am not good at this. The important decision still needs to be taken by you, Alliance Master. I can only bring up some of my bad opinions. "

Murong Ke was very satisfied with his answer. Even if he was good at military formations, he could not take advantage of his seniority in front of Murong Ke. Zuo Xiping was very smart. Such a young and aggressive Alliance Master was the most taboo. It was someone who showed his seniority in front of him, and he decisively avoided this question.

The group had followed Murong Ke's orders. At this time, Zuo Xiping's suggestion was passed down once again. They were going from left to right, moving separately. They were very confident in attacking Gusu City. After all, in terms of numbers, they had the absolute advantage.

What Elder Xiao didn't expect was that. . . The defense of Gusu City hadn't been completed yet, and the search and capture of every family hadn't been completed yet. For example, the people of Murong family. None of them had been caught.

Most of the family members of the sects had fallen into their hands, but that didn't mean they had all fallen into their hands. Especially since the most important person wasn't in their hands.

Elder Xiao's attitude towards Murong Ke had changed at this moment. In the past, he thought that Murong Ke was just a kid. Although his hands and feet were strong, his brain wasn't enough. Now, it seemed like the future of any person in this world couldn't be underestimated.

He let out a long sigh, covered his chest and coughed a few times. Apart from himself, no one else knew that he was already beyond cure. Ever since that battle with Ren Bushi, he had been showing signs of lacking strength in his heart. Now, it seemed like this matter really couldn't be dragged on any longer.

Therefore, he didn't hesitate to sacrifice the Leopard and Lion people. The Leopard and Lion People were sacrificed to get rid of them, and the Lion People were sacrificed to numb Nalan Kang. He knew these things very well. What he needed to do now was to resolve everything as soon as possible. If he couldn't do all of these while he was still alive. . . He basically didn't believe that anyone else could do all of this.

He had been laying out traps for more than twenty years. The various mechanisms on the Tiger Hill Mountain had also exhausted all of his energy and money. If he failed on the verge of success, then the Devil Cult would really disappear from the Pugilistic World. As for that blood feud from back then, he would never be able to find anyone to repay it.

The target of his revenge was not a family, but the entire Orthodox Dao of the Pugilistic World. That was because they, or their elders, had participated in the massacre back then. All of this had to be repaid. No one had done anything wrong, and no one had to pay the price. Elder Xiao was the same.

If he hadn't been outside that year, perhaps the Devil Cult wouldn't have been in such a miserable state. At the very least, they would have been able to fight with the people of the righteous path for a period of time. Thus, the Liu Sect wouldn't be met with misfortune.

When he thought of his best friend, whose entire family had been killed, Elder Xiao felt as if a knife had been twisted in his heart. The only person he had ever let down in this world was Lau Yutang. If it wasn't for the friendship between him and Lau Yutang, the Liu Family wouldn't have encountered such a disaster.

That was what he thought. But was that really the truth?

Old Master Nalan didn't come out. He would never show his face casually, and this person was one of the people he didn't want to see the most. Elder Xiao didn't mind this kind of thing. He was a wealthy man who owned half of the Gusu City, so he still had the air of an arrogant man.

After waiting for another hour or so, accompanied by the coughing of Elder Xiao, a person walked out with a sway of his footsteps: "I think you should go back! Our old master really didn't. . . " He didn't finish his words. The old butler, who had worked hard for Nalan Kang for more than twenty years, had already fallen.

There was a Seven Star Dart stuck deep in his throat. The Dart had already pierced into his flesh and blood, and blood slowly flowed out from his throat. The tiger-faced man stood beside Elder Xiao with a solemn expression, as if he had never made a move before.

Elder Xiao's cough was still as loud as before, but Old Master Nalan still didn't appear. He sighed and said indifferently, "Since your old master is unwilling to come out today, then we will come again another day. "

He killed someone just to remind Old Master Nalan. As for how they should continue to cooperate, that would depend on Old Master Nalan's intentions. Now, it seemed like there was no possibility of them working together. Old Master Nalan had no intention of paying attention to him.

There was nothing in this world that couldn't be solved with money. The reason why Old Master Nalan wasn't afraid of anyone in the martial arts world, including the arrogant Elder Xiao, was that he had spent a lot of money to hire the Ghost Shadow Warrior, who had been immersed in the martial arts world for many years, as his bodyguard.

There were a total of four Ghost Shadow Warriors, and they were all equipped with Japanese martial arts, especially their ninjutsu, which was unparalleled in the world. These four people had never left Old Master Nalan's side.

When they were in front of people, these four people were like ghosts, disappearing without a trace. However, those who were careful would realize that they would not leave Old Master Nalan no matter where they were.

The second characteristic was that they could not kill them at all. It was not because they were invulnerable, but because their figures could not be captured at all. It was like an illusion, but also like real shadows.

Even Elder Xiao. . . They might not be able to deal with the four of them at the same time, so it was easier to do things with money. After the four of them became Old Master Nalan's loyal bodyguards, Old Master Nalan would not need to pay for anyone in the martial arts world!
