A few days later, it was in the meeting hall again.

"Fifth Elder, Ziyun Iron has been taken care of for you and can be transported directly back to the family. Of course, if you want to stay in the mine and see the scenery of the Meteor Mountains, we also welcome you."

The fourth elder said politely.

Although the fifth elder made a big fuss a few days ago, the fourth and sixth elders and the deacons did not take it seriously as they were both members of the Xiao family.

The fifth elder had a gloomy face, presumably because of his lingering anger, and said calmly, "It's still early in the day, so there's no rush. The purple leaf spirit tea in the veins has a unique taste. I'll taste a few more cups before leaving."

"

The fourth elder smiled and said, "The fifth elder likes it, so drink more. I will order you to prepare more for you later. It would be good to take it back to the family to taste."

"Thank you." The fifth elder bowed his hand casually.

"You're welcome." The fourth elder smiled and waved his hand.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

The fifth elder then sighed, "Fourth elder, sixth elder."

"Uh." The fourth elder and the sixth elder were stunned at the same time, surprised that the fifth elder did not call them elders.

In fact, many years ago, when there were no disputes within the Xiao family, the relationship between the nine elders was still very close. They did not call each other "elder", but "third", "fourth", and "fifth".

Lao Liu said hello like this.

At that time, the Xiao family, the head of the family, Xiao Chenfeng, had not yet disappeared. When the family's power was at its peak, it was more powerful than the other two major families, and could be called the overlord of Ziyun City.

However, later on, as a series of things happened, the head of the family disappeared, the first elder and the second elder successively stopped taking care of the affairs of the clan, and the other elders also created gaps among themselves due to power struggles.

The fifth elder suddenly smiled and said, "I remember many years ago, when we were in our prime, we came to the Meteor Mountains to practice like the current family members."

Recalling the prosperous years of those years, the fourth and sixth elders also smiled knowingly.

"Yes, the Meteor Mountains back then were much more chaotic than they are now. Many other forces wanted to take advantage of our Xiao family's mineral veins."

"We will fight to the death with them for the dignity, glory and interests of our family. Remember those bastards from the Murong family and the Jiang family, we dealt with them miserably."

"Haha, the head of the family was still young at that time, and he led us across the Meteor Mountains, unrivaled by anyone. Now, among the elders of the Murong family and the Jiang family, we have not dealt with any of them. I am really happy to think about it."

The fourth and sixth elders were very happy when they talked about the past, and the chat with the fifth elder was particularly interesting.

I don’t know why, but the fifth elder today is so interested in learning about the past. He drank cups of tea without any intention of leaving.

"Fourth, Sixth, you remember that the master led us. Have you forgotten that we once fought side by side and even depended on each other for life and death?" The fifth elder suddenly sighed.

The Fourth Elder said, "Lao Wu, of course we remember those things. I still remember that one time a few of us went deep into the Meteor Mountains and encountered a group of monsters attacking us. If it weren't for your cleverness, Lao Liu and I almost ended up there.

.”

"Since I remember." The fifth elder's face suddenly changed, and his tone became angry, "Why are you helping that little loser Xiao Yi and going against me everywhere, without even thinking about the friendship we had back then."

"Uh." The fourth and sixth elders were suddenly startled. Unexpectedly, the fifth elder suddenly became angry.

Xiao Yi, who was quietly listening to the three elders chatting on the side, also frowned at this time.

"Lao Wu, don't be angry first..." the fourth elder said.

"Shut up." The fifth elder shouted loudly, "You are not worthy of calling me that. Since you have forgotten our friendship back then and don't consider me a member of the Xiao family at all, I don't have to be polite to you, let alone be soft-hearted to you."

"Lao Wu, we never thought you were a member of the Xiao family..." Elder Si Liu was about to explain, but his expression suddenly changed.

"Fifth Elder, you...poof." The fourth and sixth elders spit out a mouthful of blood at the same time.

The deacons, including Xiao Yi, also looked ugly, and then vomited blood.

"There's something wrong with this tea." Xiao Yi turned aside and looked at his cup.

The others also thought about this and looked at the tea in the cup.

The fourth elder's face darkened, and he looked at the fifth elder in surprise, "How is that possible? Purple Leaf Ling Tea is always under special supervision, so you have no chance to do anything."

"Hahahaha." The fifth elder laughed, "Of course tea is okay, but this water... haha."

The fourth elder was immediately furious, "You actually poisoned the water? Doesn't that mean that the entire mine has been poisoned, not just us, but all the clan members?"

The sixth elder was furious and prepared to take action. However, just as he was about to mobilize the true energy in his body, his body suddenly went limp and he collapsed on the spot.

"How is it possible? All my energy has been suppressed, and I can't even use half of my power." The Sixth Elder was shocked and angry.

"Hahahaha, it's useless." The fifth elder laughed, "In two hours, you will not be able to show your cultivation. You are no different from useless people."

"Impossible." The fourth elder said in surprise, "Lao Liu and I are innate warriors, and our true blood nourishes our whole body. It is impossible for poison to suppress our cultivation."

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and said, "It's not poison, it's the power of the martial spirit."

He never expected that such a shrewd and cautious man as he was, would fall for the Fifth Elder's advice. At this moment, his true energy was completely suppressed and his whole body was powerless.

He discovered that there was an inexplicable black energy in his body. The black energy circulated on its own, and then condensed into a flower bone as black as ink. It was this flower bone that suppressed his true energy.

Obviously, this is not poison, but the power of the martial spirit that has penetrated into the body.

"Fifth Elder, you are so despicable." Xiao Yi looked at the Fifth Elder coldly, with a fierce look in his eyes.

He never imagined that the fifth elder would be so insane and cruel that he would not spare the rest of the clan and be so vicious.

Of course, this is not his fault. After all, there are two innate elders in the mine.

The strength of the innate warrior gave him enough confidence.

The bodies of innate warriors have become so powerful that absolutely no foreign object can harm them, not even the poison pills in the third-grade elixirs.

The one who can hurt the innate warrior can only be stronger than the innate warrior.

It was also for this reason that Xiao Yicai was not afraid of the Five Elders' schemes, let alone guarded against them.

The same is true for the fourth and sixth elders and deacons.

At this time, the fourth elder's expression suddenly changed when he heard Xiao Yi's words, "The power of the martial spirit? In Ziyun City, there is only one whose martial spirit is poisonous and can suppress the cultivation of others."

"Murong Mo, the eldest elder of the Murong family who has not been seen for many years." The sixth elder gritted his teeth.

"Murong Mo?" Xiao Yi was also surprised. He had heard of this name. He was also a famous figure in Ziyun City many years ago.

However, this person has not shown up for many years. Some people say that he has retreated behind the scenes, while others say that he has left Ziyun City. There are different opinions, and no one really knows.

"Fifth elder, how dare you collude with the Murong family?" The fourth elder looked murderous.

In the past, even if the fifth elder used his power for personal gain and suppressed members of the Xiao family, the other elders would turn a blind eye because of his contribution to the family.

However, colluding with outsiders and harming fellow clan members is a taboo in the Xiao family rules.

The elders and deacons had murderous intentions at this moment, but their true energy was suppressed, so they could only slash at the fifth elder with cold eyes.

Facing the cold gazes of everyone, the fifth elder didn't care at all.

"Don't blame me." The fifth elder said coldly, "If you want to blame, blame yourselves. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous."

"Hahahaha, well said."

Outside the meeting hall, suddenly a sinister laughter came, and two figures came into the meeting hall.

"Murong Huai, Murong Xie?" the fourth elder said through gritted teeth.

The visitors turned out to be two elders from the Murong family mine.

"Fifth Elder, those who achieve great things should have this courage." Murong Huai said with a dark smile.

"Today, no one in the Xiao family can survive." Murong Xie said proudly, his cold eyes sweeping over all the members of the Xiao family.

When he glanced at Xiao Yi, his eyes were particularly vicious.
