"One more thing?" Shen Hongying frowned, having a bad feeling in his heart.
Ye Zong turned around and winked at the people in the City Lord's Mansion.
Swish, swish, swish!
The black gold demon spirit masters of the City Lord's Mansion immediately surrounded the Holy Family.
Shen Xiu's heart trembled and she looked at Chang Ping in a daze.
Could it be that...
The instructors of Shenglan College also quietly adjusted their positions to block the way of the Holy Family.
"Lord City Lord, what do you mean?" With his soul power surging, Shen Hong looked around vigilantly and entered combat state.
Damn it! What did Ye Zong want to do? Did Ye Zong know that he had poisoned Ye Ziyun's biological mother to death? Ye Zong
's eyes widened and he asked in a cold voice, "We just destroyed a dark guild's den in the Zhaixing Restaurant. Can you explain to us all why there are so many dark guild criminals hiding in the Sacred Family's industry?"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly boiled like boiling water.
"The Holy Family and the Dark Guild are colluding?"
"No wonder the city lord always came up empty-handed every time he united the masters of the major families to encircle and suppress the Dark Guild. It turns out that the Sacred Family tipped off the guild in advance."
"Almost all the noble families in the City of Glory have been harmed by the Dark Guild. Only the Holy Family has rarely suffered losses. No, it has never been attacked once. I don't believe that there is no collusion between the two."
Shen Hong's face was as pale as if he had diarrhea all night.
"Frame-up! This is a frame-up!" Shen Hong yelled, and argued: "It was the Dark Guild who wanted to provoke an internal war in our City of Glory. They deliberately set up this trap. The Dark Guild wanted us to fight to the point where both sides would suffer losses, so that they could reap the benefits."
This seemed to make some sense, and the crowd gradually quieted down.
Everyone looked at the city lord.
Ye Zong sneered and said, "Shen Hong, since you claim that the Holy Family has no collusion with the Dark Guild, do you dare to swear to the Heavenly Dao? If you dare, we will believe in your loyalty, and you can prove your innocence."
The Heavenly Oath is very sacred and extremely binding.
If Shen Hong lied, even if he was a black gold demon spirit master, he would be struck to death by the thunder.
"The city lord is right, I swear!"
"If you swear, we will believe that the Holy Family was wrongly accused."
"What? Are you afraid? Are you guilty? Everyone, prepare to fight. The Sacred Family is desperate!"
Shen Hong clenched his fists tightly and glared at Ye Zong with extremely resentful eyes.
He didn't expect Ye Zong to use this trick.
How cruel!
"You can always find a pretext to accuse someone of something. If you want to kill our Sacred Family, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush!" Shen Hong sighed, "My Sacred Family has been working diligently and selflessly to protect the City of Glory for hundreds of years, but I didn't expect it to end up like this. How sad and lamentable!"
"When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked; when the birds are all gone, the good bows are hidden. Ye Zong, you wrongly accuse us of colluding with the Dark Guild, just to destroy our Holy Family and let your Fengxue Family sit firmly on the position of City Lord." Shen Hong burst into tears, feeling inexplicably sad.
He looked around at everyone and said, "Your Ye clan only has one daughter, Ye Ziyun. It will be very difficult for the Fengxue family to want her to inherit the position of city lord. So you framed our Shenghuo family and wanted to eliminate the biggest competitor for city lord, right?"
"Ye Zong, you have a good plan!" Shen Hong pointed at Ye Zong loudly, while secretly rejoicing in his heart.
His words worked, and everyone looked at Ye Zong with suspicion.
While everyone's attention was focused on Ye Zong, Shen Hong quietly took out an inscription scroll from the space ring.
Ye Zong frowned, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a thunderous voice: "I just want you to swear an oath to the heavens. Why are you saying so many irrelevant and messy words? Do you want to delay time and escape?"
"I just want to ask you one question, will you swear?" A powerful soul force emanated from Ye Zong's body, like a mountain, suppressing the people of the Sacred Family.
Shen Hong also released his soul power to counter Ye Zong's soul attack.
The two soul forces, one blue and one red, collided and rubbed against each other, making it difficult to tell which one was stronger for a moment.
"We have no collusion with the dark guild, and we will not swear an oath." Shen Hong gritted his teeth and held on to the end.
Seeing the head of the family being attacked, the Black Gold Demon Spirit Master of the Sacred Family was eager to help.
The Black Gold Demon Spirit Master of the City Lord's Mansion stared at them eagerly, silently circulating his soul power. If the people from the Holy Family took action, they would kill them.
"Wait a minute, I have something to say!"
Just when Ye Zong and Shen Hong were fighting with each other in spiritual power until their necks were sweating, Chang Ping stood between them.
Ye Zong was about to warn Chang Ping of the danger when he suddenly felt his soul power flowing uncontrollably towards Chang Ping. In the blink of an eye, most of the soul power in his soul sea was gone.
Shen Hong on the other side had the same feeling.
The two of them hurriedly withdrew their soul power and looked at Chang Ping with strange expressions.
"What do you have to say?" Ye Zong wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and asked with a slightly trembling voice.
Shen Hong was supported by his tribesmen, staring with disgust at the extremely ordinary-looking burly man in front of him.
Chang Ping turned half a circle, looked at Shen Hong with a smile, and said in a clear voice: "I have evidence to prove that the Holy Family and the Dark Guild are colluding."
"You're talking nonsense!" Shen Hong immediately retorted angrily.
Chang Ping shrugged and glanced at everyone present.
"What I said could be bullshit, but what your sister said couldn't be bullshit!"
He chuckled, turned around and hooked his finger at Shen Xiu, motioning her to come over.
Shen Xiu walked over hesitantly.
"The Holy Family is indeed in collusion with the Dark Guild. Shen Hong not only secretly funded the Dark Guild's members to practice, but also took the initiative to help the Dark Guild find targets for kidnapping and extortion. He also sent assassins from the Dark Guild to assassinate the top leaders of the hostile family..."
Shen Xiu blurted out all the bad things Shen Hong had done over the years.
From childhood to adulthood, Shen Hong had never looked at her straight in the eye. After her mother passed away, he often led his brothers and sisters to bully her, saying that she was a bastard and stealing her pocket money.
If it were just this, she could still bear it.
What she could not accept the most was that Shen Hong now wanted to marry her to an old pervert.
Moreover, the poison in her body was about to take effect. She didn't want to die. She wanted to live well. She had many wishes that had not been fulfilled.
So, she turned against him.
"Bitch!"
Shen Hong suddenly activated the Holy Fire Kunpeng and jumped out like a rabbit, slapping Shen Xiu on the top of his head.
"Get lost!" Chang Ping's eyes turned bloodshot and he went berserk in an instant. He protected Shen Xiu and punched Shen Hong.
The fists and palms collided, making a dull "bang" sound.
Chang Ping didn't move at all, but Shen Hong was knocked flying.
???
Everyone was shocked!
