Cataclysm King

Chapter 261 The big shots come together and bet on the Innocence City

Suddenly corpses fell from the sky, and Hong Louli was instantly panicked.

Soon someone recognized the fat face.

After all, Song Yuanhai, the second master of the Song family, is a federal red-top wealthy businessman who can often be seen in newspapers.

This is better known than the SSS wanted criminals on the wanted list.

If he died in Honglou, this matter would be a big problem.

Ji Xun looked at the corpse with no expression.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Song Can beside him.

The fat man was only surprised for a moment, and soon he frowned as if he had guessed something.

Then those small eyes that were still immersed in the resentment of love just now could not hide their sadness and murmured to themselves: "Is grandma gone?"

Although as a junior in the family, he was not qualified to participate in the elders' meeting upstairs.

But it doesn't mean that Song Can doesn't know the intensity of the family's internal fighting.

On the contrary, he sensed the coming storm more keenly than anyone in the family.

He had even foreseen his second uncle's death.

So I got out of that whirlpool early.

Looking at the body, Song Can immediately knew what happened.

Most likely, it was his second uncle who was colluding with outsiders who had a showdown at the Clan Elders Association and then collapsed.

But even so, several uncles in the family would never dare to kill him.

Then the only possibility is that grandma has been preparing to clean up the house for a long time.

Cutting off the tail to survive is the only option that can stabilize the Song family.

Song Can knew very well that his second uncle must die in order to suppress other people in the family who had different intentions.

But he has no interest in family strife.

He doesn't care about the helm position that everyone in the Song family is currently staring at.

Instead, he felt extremely sad about the death of his respectable, lovely and kind grandmother.

That was the elder, life mentor and relative he respected the most who had given him the most preference since he was a child.

Song Can was already very emotional. Thinking of never seeing that kind face again, she couldn't help but shed tears on her face.

Ji Xun also took another look.

Unexpectedly, this little fat man, who was always optimistic, would cry in front of an outsider.

Song Can knew that he had lost his composure, but he couldn't help it. He choked with red eyes and said, "Grandma passed away."

When Ji Xun heard the word "passed away", his expression darkened inexplicably.

As she spoke, Song Can burst into tears. She cried ugly, but her true feelings could not be concealed. She cried loudly: "I don't know if the 'Chaoyang' that grandma is looking for has been found."

He also blamed himself a little, knowing that it was his grandma's biggest wish before she died, but he didn't do much to help.

Hearing this, Ji Xun glanced at the fat man and said nothing.

The sudden change scared the actors on the hall stage to death.

Immediately, a large number of security personnel in black suits sprang out from all over Honglou and began to clear the place.

The melon-eaters in the Red Mansion were all cleared out before they could understand what was happening.

There is some excitement and chaos, but it can kill people.

After recognizing the identity of the corpse, smart people know that for such a thing, one without any strength is not even qualified to be a spectator.

Soon, the first floor was deserted.

Song Can watched Ji Xun's eyes fall on the corpse, thinking that he was not an outsider, so he explained: "There are some conflicts within the family. It makes you laugh."

Of course Ji Xun knew.

And he had a hunch that this might not just be an internal conflict within the Song family.

His second uncle died, and now there was a big problem. Song Can was a member of the Song family, so he couldn't stay out of it.

He didn't want to watch the excitement from the side, so he turned around and said, "Brother Ji Xun, you'd better find a room to rest. I'll leave to deal with some things first, and I'll come back to you later."

Ji Xun nodded: "Yes. You will go and do your work first."

With that said, Song Can left in a hurry.

The clearing went smoothly, and Hong Tower, which had been noisy just a moment ago, fell silent in an instant.

No one was left to dispose of the body.

The second, third, and fourth floors. Almost every floor has several rooms with lights on.

There were several blurry figures standing in front of the window glass.

People who were qualified to watch this excitement stood in front of the glass windows of their own private rooms and watched silently.

Ji Xun also chose a corner that was convenient for watching the show and would not be affected.

I want to see how this develops next.

There were still some quarrels and roars echoing in Honglou.

Looking at the situation, it seems that negotiations are still going on upstairs.

Ji Xun could bear the loneliness, so he waited with peace of mind.

But suddenly, Qi Ji sensed something, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp: "There is murderous intent! You are coming for me!"

The person who came was very scary. Ji Xun looked like a cat with explosive hair, and all the hairs on his back suddenly stood up.

The golden color appeared all over his body, and he suddenly pulled away and retreated, trying to avoid the murderous aura that was locked on him.

But as soon as he turned his face, he saw a fist as big as a casserole was already attached to his face.

"So fast!"

Ji Xun secretly thought that it was so bad that he couldn't even react. The enemy's strength was beyond his imagination.

Just this thought flashed through, and it was no longer possible to avoid it.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two distinctive crisp sounds of a head banging.

Ji Xun felt like he was hit twice on the head very quickly.

A pain that penetrated into his bone marrow caused him to take a deep breath and spin.

But at the same time, he already knew who was doing it.

Because this kind of method that can completely ignore the hegemony can only be done by the old man.

The strange thing is that these two punches caused severe pain but very little power.

Ji Xun just tilted his head back slightly and immediately stopped.

At the same time, the pain in my forehead surged out like a volcano.

It hurt so much that I couldn't stop crying.

Ji Xun held his forehead and instantly felt a bump rising from the place covered in his hand.

First the size of marbles, then the size of buns.

Then it turned into a gourd!

I don’t know why these bags overlap!

Ji Xun's eyes were so painful that they shed tears as if they were smoked by chili peppers. He looked at the old man in front of him and said with a bitter face, "Senior Gong, what are you doing?"

The person who made the sneak attack was none other than Gong Wu.

The old man looked at Ji Xun's innocent and resentful expression. The memory of a hundred years ago was still vivid in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

His old face imitated an expression that wanted to be beaten, which evoked someone's memory and said: "I kept this bag!"

"."

Hearing this, Ji Xun knew what was going on.

Youyou shut up, not daring to quibble.

The vengeful old man remembered the duel at Saphire Manor a hundred years ago.

Ah. But this has been a hundred years.

Gong Wu looked at the two huge bumps on Ji Xun's forehead, his expression was satisfied, and he didn't forget to say: "Do you know why you were beaten?"

"."

Ji Xun glanced at the old man and gave up with a grimace.

But although he didn't dare to quibble with his mouth, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Gong Wu looked at Ji Xun, and his old face became sullen.

The person was also beaten, and his thoughts became clear.

It turns out that it wasn’t that I wasn’t good at that time, but that I taught too well.

But when he saw Ji Xun's restrained Qi, he was also surprised and said: "But you have made great progress, and you have actually touched the threshold of 'meaning'."

Ji Xun didn't realize anything when he heard it, so he asked: "Meaning?"

Gong Wu glanced at him with a slightly strange expression: "Yes. What happened to your kid these days that you touched the 'meaning' so quickly?"

Thinking that they had only been separated from Shangbang Prison for a few days, right?

Gong Wu was really surprised by such a big change.

You must know that he himself was stuck on this threshold for ten or eight years.

"Intention" is not a career advancement for card masters. You can break through when you are strong enough.

This thing relies on chance, experience and understanding.

The saying "If the heart is not dead, the mind is not born" is not for nothing.

Ji Xun also realized that the mysterious feeling he had before was that he had touched the threshold of "meaning".

He also said why he suddenly felt that the sensory world was different, as if it was too clear.

It turned out to be the case.

But let’s talk about how you understand it.

The joy in Ji Xun's eyes disappeared as soon as it appeared.

Seeing the sadness in Ji Xun's expression, another person on the side said: "Old man Gong, if you don't understand, don't ask blindly."

Not only did Gong Wu come, he was also followed by a mysterious man in a cloak.

Looking at the iconic white beard, Ji Xun also recognized that it was Master Merlin.

But why did these two come to Honglou together?

Gong Wu was unhappy when he heard this: "Why don't I understand?"

Merlin: "Old man Gong, do you know what love is?"

Gong Wu said faintly: "What do you know about that thing? Women will only affect the speed of my punches."

"Ah"

Merlin was quite speechless, but had no interest in arguing with this guy.

Ji Xun watched the two of them finish speaking and greeted respectfully: "Master Merlin."

"Ah."

Merlin looked at Ji Xun and nodded, sighing with a complicated expression.

Song Yu came to Wuxin City to meet him for the last time.

He also knew who the old friend was coming to see.

Now I came to Honglou not only to do business, but also to send that person off on his last journey.

Ji Xun guessed it and was not in a high mood.

Gong Wu on the side looked at the expressions of the two people and blew his beard.

But they didn't talk much, and the excitement started again.

Suddenly, an explosion penetrated the eardrums.

With a "boom", two embarrassed figures fell down from the upstairs.

At the same time, there was an angry shout: "People of the Song family, do you know what you are doing! I am a federal congressman! No matter what I have done, only the federal court is qualified to try me. If you dare to attack a congressman, you are seeking death. !”

Everyone took a closer look, and saw a strong man in a suit who looked like a bodyguard twisting a fat middle-aged man and falling into the hall.

It looked like they had been beaten down, and both of them had bleeding wounds.

Ji Xun looked at the fat man and recognized him at a glance.

He had read in the newspaper that the Federation's most popular congressman, big banker, and regular on the rich list was a politician named Keen.

Ji Xun only saw two people, and Gong Wu beside him also narrowed his eyes slightly: "Hey, this assassin is not bad."

assassin?

Ji Xunzheng was surprised.

Just as the two of them landed, ripples suddenly flashed in the air, and a dark green dagger poked out of the air.

"Lord Keen, be careful!"

The bodyguard obviously took a moment to realize it. ,

He wanted to lead the men away and retreat, but the dagger had already slipped on his arm.

"Stab!" A bloody arrow shot out.

An arm fell to the ground. The bodyguard didn't expect that his arm would be cut off easily, and he looked horrified.

There are absolutely only a handful of assassins in the entire federation who can do this!

He looked at the assassin dressed in a hooded corset not far away, his face changed drastically, and he reminded: "Sir, it's Quintu!"

Councilor Keen's face turned pale with fright. Looking at the legendary assassin in front of him, he still wanted to struggle: "Quintu, no matter how much money the Song family pays, I will pay double! No, ten times!"

Ji Xun heard the name and guessed who it was.

The honorary president of the Assassin's Guild and the legendary thief king "Night Shadow" Kuntu.

The legendary strongman, the best assassin in the world!

This sounds like a killer hired by the Song family's financial resources?

Unexpectedly, the assassin was completely unmoved and walked over step by step holding the dagger.

Congressman Keen turned pale with fright, but he is a politician after all, and he cannot be persuaded by inducements, so he threatened again: "Quintu, you dare to assassinate Congressman. After today, there will be no place for you, your family, and the entire federation! "

"Ha ha."

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Kuntu actually stopped.

However, he seemed to deliberately want others to hear something, and he said it clearly: "I received the kindness from my family in the early years, and today I am here to repay the kindness I received back then. Congressman, you should not have ideas about the Song family."

If the legendary strong man can return the favor, there is no way this matter can be rectified.

From the corner of his eye, Keen glanced at the body of the second master of the Song family not far away in a pool of blood, and his face turned ugly.

If he had known that the Song family was still hiding such a skill, how could he have rashly come forward.

damn it!

Song Laoer didn't even know such important information!

It hurts me!

Seeing the assassin approaching step by step, Keen still refused to give up.

He suddenly turned his face and shouted towards all floors of Hong Tower: "Congressman Robert, I know you are here, save me! If I die here today, I, the member of the New Party, will never give up."

As soon as this voice was shouted out, some big shots who originally only wanted to watch the fun could no longer stay out of the incident.

After all, Keane is a new-school federal congressman, and there are many people supporting him in the House of Representatives.

As soon as these words came out, a window on the third floor also opened.

An expressionless old gentleman stood by the window.

He knew Keane was trying to drag him into the water.

The federal colleagues who were originally looking up and looking down, were yelled at and wanted to help no matter what.

But at this moment, Robert had no intention of intervening. He only glanced at it and said calmly: "After all, this is the Song family's own business. We outsiders are not qualified to say anything about what they are doing internally. But if there are outsiders who want to get involved, If so, I, the Morton family, still have to give 'that' face. It's not easy for me, an outsider, to get involved in how they deal with it."

After expressing his attitude, he did not forget to say to the other side: "Boss Cao, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, the huge Hong Tower fell silent.

Anyone who is qualified to watch the excitement must understand the situation in the Federation.

When I heard this name, I already knew that the person speaking now was Robert Morton, one of the five major congressmen.

And the only one who can make him call "Boss Cao" is Cao Zhengxiong, another member of the five major council members.

Robert was dragged into the water by Keen. He didn't want to bear the firepower of the parliament alone, so he directly dragged another big congressman into the water.

Hearing this, the Cao family, who were also senior members, were also helpless.

Just show your face.

In a window on the fourth floor, a middle-aged man smoking a cigar agreed: "Yes. Congressman Robert is right. It is difficult for outsiders like us to interfere with the internal affairs of the Song family."

As he said that, the congressman looked at the other rooms and said, "You think so, Miss Olin, old Capone? Oh, and that girl from the Lionheart family."

There are three people mentioned in this sentence. "Miss Olin" is naturally from the golden family of the five major congressmen, and "Capone" is also the surname of the five major congressmen.

From the Lionheart family, Catalina is naturally here.

They are all old foxes and know everything.

This is to get everyone involved and share the firepower.

And in itself, this is the tacit understanding of these old foxes who have played politics for generations.

This statement was followed by several others.

"I think what Boss Cao said is right. I also want to express my position. Our Olin family has been grateful to 'that person' a lot over the years. They will handle the internal affairs of the Song family by themselves, and we will never get involved."

"What a coincidence, that old man is also very close to me, and we will never interfere in the internal affairs of the Song family. If we need to help, our Capone family will also help."

"My uncles are right, my old man means the same thing."

"Hehe, the old lion actually asked little Carter to come. It seems that your Lionheart family is going to have a domineering little lion."

"Uncle Capone, Uncle Robert, Uncle Cao, and Aunt Olin made all the elders laugh. Grandpa originally wanted to come in person, but he has been ill recently and his niece happened to be in Innocence City, so he came."

"."

The conversation between the five people in a few words had already determined the death of a congressman.

Even if the New Party is in the spotlight again, they all have the same opinion, and any objection is meaningless.

"you.!!!"

Councilor Keane also didn’t expect that his request for help would lead to such a large gathering of important figures.

With this posture, I am afraid that even major federal meetings may not include the presence of several senior congressmen.

But after hearing this, Keane was instantly disappointed.

Only then did he realize that these old foxes had been waiting for this game for a long time.

Use the help of the Song family to get rid of him as a "new party member".

Help?

Just wishful thinking.

But do you want me to die?

Is it that easy!

Keen's expression suddenly turned evil and ferocious.

The Cao family, the Morton family, the golden family Orin, Capone, and the Bai family who appeared before.

People from the five major congressman families are here.

There is also the Lionheart family who is now known as the "Sixth Councilor".

Ji Xun, who was watching the excitement from a distance, looked at a few big figures showing their faces upstairs, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

He also didn't expect to see some of the most powerful people in the Federation today in Innocence City.

Even though he has no interest in politics, he understands now.

This time the Song family was not only fighting internally, but also involved turmoil in the federal political situation.

However, some people understand politics, while others understand other things.

Gong Wu on the side looked like he was watching the fun and didn't mind the matter, and murmured: "Killing someone for a while, why don't you do it yet? What are you waiting for?"

The old man has such a bad temper that he never hesitates when he kills people, and he dislikes people who talk too much.

Just like those absurd stories told by bards, if the villain speaks a few more words, he will be saved by an inexplicable person.

Ji Xun felt the same way.

The thief king really made people wait a little too long.

If a legend wants to kill a politician who doesn't even have the third level, it's just a matter of one sword.

Just now, I deliberately wanted to wait for a few major congressmen to show their faces to achieve certain goals.

But now?

Without thinking much, Gong Wu seemed to have discovered something at this moment, showing an interesting expression, and suddenly changed his words: "Oh, it turns out there is really a master."

Ji Xun also looked over attentively. Who is the person who can make the old man say he is a "master"?

Keen gave a ferocious smile, his expression seemed to say: I won't pretend anymore, you forced me to.

"Boom!"

Without warning, a guy as tall as a mountain broke through the guardrail and fell from the sky.

As soon as this guy landed, it was like a cannonball hitting the ground, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly exploded on the hard ground.

And this guy's silver armor is extremely eye-catching.

Ji Xun's pupils shrank slightly, and he recognized this famous black knight's professional armor.

A fifth-level relic, the legendary armor known as the "Immovable Fortress" [Frederick I's Silver Armor]!

This armor is the strongest armor known in the card master world. It is said that no one can break it after wearing it.

It can be called immortal body.

However, because this armor was extremely contaminated, every owner died suddenly.

I have never heard of anyone who can actually control this armor.

Who is this guy who suddenly appears? How dare he wear armor?

Seeing this armor, Master Merlin smiled and said, "Oh, the heavy pollutants contained in Bureau X's warehouse have actually appeared here. It's interesting."

Gong Wu glanced at it and praised: "It's really a good armor."

However, Ji Xun was originally very interested in armor, and was looking forward to seeing whether the Thief Emperor was more powerful, or whether the armor's defense was more powerful.

But suddenly, he let out a light sigh in his heart.

Because the [God-Stealer Ring] flickered lightly on his finger.

Strong blood plague reaction.

"vampire?"

Only then did Ji Xun realize that there might not be a person inside the armor.

But a vampire.

Seeing this, Ji Xun fell into thinking.

This Congressman Keen seems to be more than just a politician.

He is most likely a pawn of the scarlet corruption in the political arena.

Moreover, now vampires dare to show up in public. In other words, those guys from the Scarlet Sect have no intention of hiding anymore. Do they plan to kill everyone here as well?

Just after this guy covered in armor appeared, a cloaked man also appeared out of thin air.

As soon as the cloaked man appeared, Gong Wu immediately recognized the field surrounding his body and was slightly surprised: "Hey, is this ability a disciple of that guy Gurney? The light chaser of this generation?"

As he said this, the old man's intuition also guessed something: "Oh, old man Merlin, wouldn't you have told me that it was so lively? It's also mysterious."

Just when these top powerhouses came out, a strong aura of conspiracy came flooding in.

The entire Honglou fell into a depressing atmosphere of approaching storm.

Even the senior congressmen immediately realized that something was wrong.

This situation has exceeded their expectations.

Their vision also saw through at a glance, someone had laid out a big picture.

Someone deliberately lured them to Innocence City.

Ji Xun looked at the cloaked man who appeared and thought it was Jia Yu with a mushroom head.

Is this armored man the person he said he wanted to kill?

Looking at this posture, it's not just killing people.

Instead, the "card game" begins.

Just when Ji Xun thought the show was about to begin, unexpected changes happened again.

Outside the window, suddenly a bright white moon slowly rose.

In the shocked eyes of everyone, the bright moonlight not only illuminated Hong Tower, but even illuminated the entire Sinless City.

Ji Xun looked at the familiar moonlight with a startled expression: "Silver Moon Sect?"

Scarlet Sect, Silver Moon Sect, Thirteen Knights, Five Councilors. Is this going to be a big fight?

Suddenly, Ji Xun seemed to understand a little bit of the game.

There was definitely a conflict between the two Old God sects.

The five major congressmen are also each other's opponents.

The Thirteen Knights are not allies with any of them.

so.

Are all the forces their own enemies?

The Song family line, the Scarlet Corruption line, the Oran survivors and the Silver Moon Sect line, and the five major councilors.

A magical force gathered these people in Innocence City.

"Amazing"

Ji Xun had already glimpsed a corner of the sky-covering net, and was once again impressed by the ability of the mushroom head.

This method is really admirable.

However, no matter how strong the Thirteen Knights are, there are only a few of them.

There is no guarantee of victory against any one of these forces.

What should we do if we attract so many big bosses?

Ji Xun did not doubt Mushroom Tou's layout ability.

I'm just curious about how he can solve these problems.

All kinds of thoughts were swirling in his mind, and suddenly, he thought of the question asked by Mushroom Head before: If one group of people had to be sacrificed in order to save others, how should one choose?

At the same time, Ji Xun also thought of the fragmentary contents on the black stone tablet in Shangbang Prison: burial of six million people, isolation of pollution, and the source of disaster.

hiss.!

That mushroom head, isn't he going to bet the entire Innocence City?
