"Nie Yuan Qing, if I remember correctly, you should be at the peak of Qi Sea's fifth level of Manifestation realm. If you are injured like this, is it possible that Nie Yu's strength has surpassed yours?"
After a while, the great elder sitting in the highest seat suddenly spoke, his eyes flashing with sharp light as if to check whether he was lying.
As an elder of the older generation, he still has some feelings for the Nie Tian branch. After all, Nie Xiao Tian was extremely talented at the time and was the perfect candidate to be the first heir of the family.
If it hadn't been for that obsession, the position of clan leader would definitely not have fallen into Nie Hao Tian's hands.
"I..." Nie Yuan Qing's voice was choked when he heard the great elder's question.
Although he didn't want to admit that Nie Yun was stronger than him, he still vividly remembered how he was knocked down and how he was injured, making him tremble from the bottom of his heart.
"Reporting back to the great elder, his current strength is only in the middle stage of the fourth level of Qi Sea. The reason why he was able to injure the captain was because he used some kind of magic. He must have defected to the demon clan and become its lackey. Otherwise, it would be impossible to beat the captain at the peak of the Manifestation Realm to this level with his strength in the middle stage of the fourth True Qi Realm!"
Suddenly, Nie Hen, who was lying on another stretcher, struggled and roared.
They couldn't figure out why Nie Yun had such fighting power, so they attributed it to sorcery.
The demon clan has many secrets. Those who take refuge in the demon clan and are possessed by demon spirits can indeed increase their combat power and leapfrog challenges.
"Take refuge in the demon clan? Become a lackey of the demon clan?"
"Yes, all the elders are practitioners, and they all know that the strength of the True Qi Realm and the Manifestation Realm are very different. They are not the same at all. If you want to defeat the peak of the Manifestation Realm with the help of the middle stage of the True Qi Realm, It's just a dream! But the fact is right in front of you, which only shows one problem, that is, Nie Yun has surrendered to the demon clan and is possessed by the demon spirit!"
Nie Qiang, who was standing in the middle of the hall, interrupted.
"The demons have various methods. We must be careful. Regardless of whether this kid has surrendered to the demon clan or not, he must be executed. We would rather kill him by mistake than let him go!" an elder said in a strange tone.
This elder was obviously working with Nie Qiang and the others. He spoke extremely harshly and showed no mercy.
"You would rather kill by mistake than let go? Elder Nie Ying Xin, what are you talking about? If our Nie family really does this, what is the difference between us and those beasts of the demon clan?"
The great elder scolded, his anger rising to the sky.
"The demons do all kinds of evil, and their methods are outrageous. Has the Great Elder forgotten the history of the monsters' invasion a hundred years ago, and the head of our Nie family was killed by demons?"
An elder also stood up.
The battle between the demon clan and the human race has never stopped. The most recent demon clan invasion was about a hundred years ago. Nie Chen, the head of the Nie family at that time, was captured by a demon of low rank from the royal family. He made many decisions when surrendering to the enemy. The entire Nie family was almost destroyed.
If it hadn't been for the sudden action of a top-notch figure, perhaps all four major families would have lost the Nie family long ago.
Hearing the elder mention, a hundred years ago, the hall fell silent for a while, as if everyone was imagining the tragedies recorded in history.
"As far as I know, this Nie Yun's Dantian was opened not long ago, and he is of high-grade noble bloodline. In addition, Xiao Tian was the number one genius in Luo Shui City back then and had many methods, so it shouldn't be too difficult for him to have the ability to fight beyond the next level. Just because he can defeat Nie Yuan Qing, isn't it a bit too hasty to arbitrarily assume that he has defected to the demon clan?"
A person who supported the great elder hesitated and said slowly.
A few words of dialogue made it clear that the elder team was divided into two factions. Those led by the great elder had no prejudice against the Nie Tian branch, while those led by the patriarch Nie Hao Tian spared no effort to suppress the Nie Tian branch!
In fact, thanks to the Great Elder and his group, otherwise, the current Nie Tian branch might have been completely removed from Luo Shui City before Nie Yun was reborn.
"Hasty? Haha, let Nie Liu from the Nie Long branch come in!"
It seems that this result has been known for a long time,
Nie Qiang smiled lightly and clapped his hands again.
"Nie Long branch young master Nie Liu has met the clan leader and elders!" As soon as he finished speaking, a figure slowly walked in. It was the man who had framed his sister Nie Xiao Feng. After Nie Yun found out, he made him take Thousand Desires Flower, and the chrysanthemum blossomed for Nie Liu.
"The Nie Long branch? The down-and-out branch that has been expelled from the core of the family? Don't you have a very good relationship with the Nie Tian branch?"
The elder who previously supported the great elder's decision thought for a moment and said slowly.
"Yes, our Nie Long branch did have a good relationship with the Nie Tian branch in the past, but it is no longer the case..." A look of resentment rose on Nie Liu's face, and he knelt down on the ground with a "pop" "Please also invite the clan leader. young master, Elders, make the decision for me!"
"If you have any problem, just say it. No matter what, you are all descendants of the Nie family. We are not just watching you suffer humiliation to protect the perpetrators!"
Patriarch Nie Hao Tian waved his hand and a gentle force lifted Nie Liu up, looked around, and said lightly.
"Clan Chief thank you!" Nie Liu clasped his fists again, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made some kind of huge decision. "The thing is like this. Last time Nie Yun came to me for a drink and planned to ask me to pick up 10,000 taels of silver. I didn't know what he wanted to do, but after thinking that people from the Nie family should help each other, I agreed! Who would have thought that not only did this guy fail to repay his gratitude, he actually put a powerful obscene drug in my wine..."
Speaking of this, Nie Liu's eyes turned red, and he seemed to be trembling all over as he thought of something.
"Obscene drug?" All the elders' expressions changed.
"Yes! This kind of obscene drug is very powerful. As long as it is taken, it will cause death. I trusted him a lot, so I didn't have any doubts, so I took it. The result..."
When Nie Liu said this, he could no longer bear it, and tears rolled down his face.
A grown man, the dignified young master of the Nie Long branch, actually cried like this, which shows how terrible it must have been to think about it!
"What's the result?" Seeing his appearance, the great elder seemed to believe it. His eyebrows were raised, showing a strong sense of majesty.
Feeling this majesty, Nie Liu seemed to have recovered, and continued to sob twice, and then said: "He locked me up with the old housekeeper Nie Lin, and I lost control under the torture of the drug..."
"What? You and a man?"
"It's so ridiculous, how could he do this!"
"It's absolutely crazy, it's definitely the work of a demon..."
Seeing how pitiful Nie Liu was, everyone immediately transferred their anger to the young man named Nie Yun. Even the great elder was trembling with anger.
"That's all, but he used the memory crystal to record 'that scene' and used it as a bargaining chip to threaten me.
He defrauded me of fifteen thousand taels of silver that day..." Nie Liu said while sobbing.
"Damn it, damn it! How could there be such a scum in the family!"
