Chapter 45 Calling a Deer a Horse (Part 1) [Second Update]
"Nie Yuanqing, if I remember correctly, you should be at the peak of the fifth level of Qi Hai's out-of-body realm. If you are injured like this, is it possible that this 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, I still have some feelings for the Nie Tian branch. After all, Nie Xiaotian was extremely talented at the time and was the perfect candidate for the family's first heir. If it hadn't been for that incident, the position of clan leader would definitely not have fallen to Nie Haotian. in hand.
"I..." Nie Yuanqing'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, the story of how he was knocked down and how he was injured was still vivid in his mind, making him tremble from the bottom of his heart.
"Reporting back to the great elder, his current strength is only the middle stage of the fourth level of Qihai. The reason why he was able to injure the captain was because he used some kind of magic. He must have taken refuge in the demon clan and became its lackey. Otherwise, no Maybe with the strength of the middle stage of the fourth level of True Qi Realm, the captain at the peak of the Out of Body Realm can be beaten like this!"
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 the demon clan's lackey?"
"Yes, all the elders are practitioners, and they all know that the strength of the true energy realm and the out-of-body realm are very different. They are not the same at all. If you want to defeat the out-of-body realm with the middle stage of the true energy realm, Peak, it’s just a dream! But the fact is right in front of you, which only shows one thing, that is, Nie Yun has surrendered to the demon clan and is possessed by the demon spirit!”
Nie Qiang, 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 angrily.
This elder was obviously working with Nie Qiang and the others. He spoke extremely harshly and showed no mercy.
"Would you rather kill by mistake than let go? Elder Nie Yingxin, 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 into the sky.
"The monsters do all kinds of evil, and their methods are outrageous. Has the Great Elder forgotten the history of the monster invasion a hundred years ago, and the heads of our Nie family were all killed by monsters?"
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 to surrender to the enemy. The entire Nie family was almost destroyed.
If it hadn't been for the sudden action of a top-notch figure, I'm afraid 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 moment, as everyone seemed to be imagining the tragedies recorded in history.
"As far as I know, this Nie Yun has just opened his dantian not long ago, and he is of high-grade noble blood. In addition, Xiaotian was the number one genius in Luoshui City back then, and he has many methods, so it shouldn't be too big for him to have the ability to fight across levels. It’s difficult. Just because he can defeat Nie Yuanqing, is 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.
From just a few words of dialogue, it is clear that the elder team is divided into two factions. The one led by the great elder has no prejudice against the Nie Tian branch, and the one led by the patriarch Nie Haotian spares no effort to suppress the Nie Tian branch!
In fact, it is also thanks to the Great Elder and his group, otherwise, the current Nie Tian branch might have been completely removed from Luoshui City before Nie Yun was reborn.
"Hasty? Haha, let Nie Liu from the Nie Long branch come in!"
As if he already knew this outcome, 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 Xiaofeng. After Nie Yun found out, he made her take Qianyuhua. The chrysanthemum blossoms of 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..." Resentment rose on Nie Liu's face, and he knelt down on the ground with a "pop" "Please also invite the clan leader and 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 Haotian waved his hand and a gentle force lifted Nie Liu up, looked around and said lightly.
"Xie Patriarch!" 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 did he want to do, but he thought that people from the Nie family should help each other, so he agreed! Unexpectedly, this guy not only failed to express gratitude, but also put a powerful drug in the wine..."
Speaking of this, Nie Liu's eyes turned red, and he seemed to be trembling all over as he thought of something.
"Yin medicine?" All the elders' expressions changed.
"Yes! This kind of drug is very powerful. Once taken, it will make people lose their minds. I trusted him and had no doubts, so I took it. As a result..." Nie Liu couldn't hold back any more and tears rolled down his cheeks.
A grown man, the young master of the Nielong branch, actually cried like this, which shows how terrible it must be to think about that incident!
"What was the result?" Seeing him like this, the elder seemed to believe it a little. His eyebrows were raised, revealing a strong majesty.
Feeling this majesty, Nie Liu seemed to slow down, and continued to sob twice, and then said: "He locked me and the old housekeeper Nie Lin together. I couldn't control myself under the torture of the drug..."
"What? You and a man?"
"It's ridiculous. How could he do this!"
"It's so crazy. It must be the work of a demon..."
Seeing Nie Liu so pitiful, everyone immediately transferred their anger to the young man named Nie Yun, and even the elder was trembling with anger.
"That would be fine, but he used the memory crystal to record 'that scene' and used it as a bargaining chip to threaten me. He cheated me of 15,000 taels of silver that day..." Nie Liu sobbed.
"Damn it, damn it! How could there be such a scum in the family!"
An elder roared in anger, and slapped the table in front of him to pieces.
"No matter whether he is possessed by the demon clan or not, this man must be dealt with! Otherwise, how can our Nie family still have a foothold in Luoshui City!" Another elder roared.
"Reporting to the head of the family and the elders, the people of the Nie Zhang branch are outside asking for an audience!" Just as the elders were furious, a voice suddenly sounded outside the hall, and then two figures walked in.
