The Demon Lord of the Outside World

Tap tap tap tap...

Soon, the sound of footsteps came from far away, and then two Xu family Gu masters stood beside a young man, one on the left and one on the right, and escorted him to the ceremony hall without leaving.

This young man's face was a little pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, and his steps were a little shaky. It was Xu Wang.

"Junior Xu Wang, I have met the patriarch and all the elders."

Xu Wan raised his hands, clasped his fists respectfully, and bowed to the people present. Although his arms and leg bones were still aching slightly, in just half a day, Xu Wan's injuries actually healed. Seven or eight.

Such a result was possible because after Xu Wang was taken to the Xu family, someone arranged for a third-level healing Gu Master to treat him non-stop. If he relied on those first-level and second-level healing Gu masters, he would probably not be able to say anything. You have to lie down for a week.

However, the one who made such an arrangement was not Xu Ziran who openly protected Xu Wang, but the deputy clan leader!

This behavior was not out of kindness, but because Xu Wu did not want to use his illness as an excuse to avoid the interrogation in the hall.

"Xu Wan!"

Seeing Xu Wan arriving, Lao Ji gave a loud shout.

"I don't know why the senior calls the junior."

Even when facing a group of family elders, Xu Wan's face remained neither humble nor arrogant, and Lao Ji became even more angry when she saw Xu Wan's behavior.

"Did you know that during this mission, all the Xu family members who were in the same area as you died?"

"Xu Huan only remembers that he lost consciousness after being caught in the air by the demon thief's killing move. If it weren't for what the senior said now, Xu Huan would still know nothing about it."

"nonsense!"

Lao Ji slapped the wooden table hard, and then pointed her finger straight at Xu Wan.

"If, as you said, you lost consciousness after being caught in the wind, then why were traces of the struggle between you and the blue-scaled snake found on your body!"

"Of course Xu Wang didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of the clan leader and elders, but the junior was indeed hit by a hard object in the air and became confused. In the end, he couldn't even remember how he landed."

Xu Wang lowered his head slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.

"The only thing that the junior knew was that there seemed to be the sound of fighting around him, but before the junior could distinguish it, he felt that he was being strangled by something, so he instinctively struggled with all his strength."

"Xu Wang you!"

"This is a ceremonial hall, don't be so noisy."

Just when Lao Ji wanted to interrogate him again, the deputy clan leader calmed Lao Ji and then asked Xu Wan.

"Xu Wang, when the Mu Huo traitor was about to counterattack, I saw you move to Xu Yichen's rear. I don't know why you did that."

Compared with Lao Ji, the deputy clan leader's tone was much gentler, but Xu Juan did not react to it. The other party's move seemed to be a gentler attitude towards Xu Juan, but in fact it was just the most common way of making bad remarks. Just face.

Moreover, the words asked by the deputy chief were even more tricky. No one saw what Lao Ji asked, so what happened was naturally made up by Xu Wan, but what the deputy chief asked was a real situation that someone saw. What happened? The matter has been determined, and all Xu Wang can do is explain. If Xu Wang cannot give a suitable explanation, he can be targeted in the future as long as he is labeled.

However, Xu Wang did not hesitate at all, but his expression changed slightly, showing a sad look.

"To be honest with the deputy patriarch, this junior's behavior... is actually out of fear."

As soon as these words came out, some family elders showed surprised expressions. In front of almost all the senior leaders of the Xu family, saying such words was like bluntly stating their incompetence.

"Xu Wang is worthy of being cultivated by the Xu family, and worthy of his deceased parents... Although the younger generation has always said that it is his duty to kill demons for the Xu family, during this mission, he saw the deputy patriarch and the natural family old man with that In the battle of the Wood Harm Demon Way, the ground collapsed, the buildings collapsed, and the trees collapsed, but fear still rose in my heart. "

Speaking of this time, Xu Wang looked like he hated himself for not living up to expectations and being so cowardly.

"If there weren't so many comrades around me, I would have wanted to escape in order to avoid being affected by such a battle. And when the wood evil demon was shot down, what I thought about was not to save the deputy clan chief and the natural clan elder. I am not happy, but I am worried that this person will retaliate before death and affect himself, and then..."

Xu Wang paused for a moment, then bowed to the deputy patriarch and Lao Ji, with a sincere apology on his face.

"This junior shamelessly thought of hiding away as much as possible. He also thought that Sister Xu Yichen, as the pride of the family, must be more capable than me, so he hid behind her. Now that I think about it, I feel like dirt and chaff."

After saying these words, the expressions on the faces of the elders present changed. Xu Huan's words were undoubtedly destroying his own future. Whether they were true or not, after Xu Huan said these words, he would not fight from now on. Xian Qie's actions are doomed. No matter what happens in the future, he will be stained by this stain in the Xu family.

Some family elders shook their heads slightly, feeling sorry for it, some family elders looked sarcastic and sneered, and some family elders thought carefully and speculated on their intentions.

And Xu Ziran has been expressionless since Xu Wang arrived here. After the deputy patriarch heard these words, his face was gloomy. Xu Huan was so self-deprecating. As the elder of the family, it would be unreasonable for him to ask further questions at this time.

"fart!"

At this moment, a shouting voice with obvious anger sounded, it was Lao Ji.

"Little beast! Don't think you can get away with just a few words! You happened to run behind Chen'er, and you happened to land in the same place as Chen'er, and Chen'er died near you!"

Old Ji became more and more excited, his eyes red, and his anger was evident.

Even the deputy clan leader did not expect Old Ji to be so impulsive, and for a while he could only scold in a low voice.

"What a disgrace! Get out of here!"

"Deputy clan leader! I have always regarded Chen'er as my own granddaughter, and I raised her by myself. I will never allow Chen'er to die in such an unclear way!"

Even in the face of the deputy clan leader's scolding, Old Ji still had no intention of stopping. She had tears in her eyes and gritted her teeth, as if she would not rest in peace until the murderer was brought to justice.

"Xu Wang! You keep saying that you are just acting on instinct and have no calculations. Do you dare to tell the truth in front of the clan leader! Did you kill Chen'er?"

Facing Lao Ji's hysterical questioning, Xu Wang looked like he was sympathizing with her.

"Senior, I can understand your grief, but..."

"No buts!"

Lao Ji suddenly took out a poisonous insect and then stepped in front of Xu Wang.

"Little beast, didn't you say that Chen'er's death had nothing to do with you! Then do you dare to let me use the poison to verify in this hall in front of the clan leader and the elders!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of many elders changed again. Lao Ji, the deputy clan leader's lineage, forced a young clan member so much at the clan meeting, and she would definitely leave a black mark afterwards. As a capable hand of the deputy clan leader, the stain on her body could naturally be seen as the stain of the deputy clan leader.

At this time, Xu Wang just silently looked at the poisonous insect in Lao Ji's hand, his face was slightly gloomy, and he slowly spoke after a while.

"I wonder how you plan to use Gu to verify this, Senior."
