Chapter 329 Silence at the Oath-taking Ceremony
A subtle glint of sinister intent flashed across his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "I've also heard recently that Mr. Jin and you have formed a new force."
"Of course, in this special period, coupled with the witch priest's prophecy, your trust in me, Lie, has decreased. It's only natural to be on the safe side."
"However, I still ask Mr. Jin to lend his full support in the face of this major issue, and to jointly protect Beast City."
Lie Xiaotian spoke the ceremonial words very beautifully.
Even though Jin Zishan had been calm, after hearing Lie Xiaotian's words, he spoke slowly, "Of course. Beast City isn't just owned by our family, it's the home of all orcs, isn't it?"
"Mr. Jin said it well!"
Someone below immediately responded, and Lie Xiaotian gave a malicious smile.
"As expected of Mr. Jin, you are so understanding and righteous. This is truly a great boon for our Beast City. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Beast City."
"Oh, no hurry. Then, our respected Lord City Lord, what advice do you have on how to deal with the enemy? I heard that the Shadow Wolf Clan of the Beast City Army has been divided. In previous years, this was the main force of Beast City!"
Although Jin Zishan's voice sounded old, it revealed a sense of calmness and confidence. In this atmosphere full of gunpowder, he seemed particularly calm.
Lie Xiaotian's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his righteous demeanor. "As the saying goes, I am for all, and all are for me. Everything is for the benefit of all of Beast City. In this moment of life and death, we should unite as one, right, Mr. Jin?"
Lie Xiaotian spoke passionately, but those family heads who knew Lie Xiaotian's true face only felt sick when they heard it.
They knew in their hearts that Lie Xiaotian was only trying to break through his own strength and use the beast tide to achieve his own unknown purpose.
However, it is undeniable that Lie Xiaotian was right about one thing: the threat of the beast tide is imminent, and it really requires the entire Beast City to put in all its efforts.
The patriarch of the Xiong family stood up first and said loudly: "My Xiong family is willing to let most of the males of the patriarch participate in the battle and contribute to the protection of the Beast City!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the small families below responded one after another, their voices louder than the other, as if they were engaged in a fierce competition.
Some families who were unaware of the truth, infected by this passionate atmosphere, also followed suit.
"There is strength in numbers, so I'm joining in."
“Many hands make light work, and so do I.”
"Although our family is weak, we also want to contribute our part."
For a moment, the meeting square was filled with passionate voices, as if it were an exciting oath-taking meeting.
However, in this clamor, Jin Zishan's group remained silent, seeming out of place.
Soon, the orcs noticed the unusual silence.
The head of a small family stood up and asked, "Master Jin, why are you guys so silent?"
"Could it be that you don't want to live and die with Beast City?"
The other party's voice was sharp, with a hint of questioning, which instantly broke the original noise, and everyone's eyes were all cast on Jin Zishan.
Jin Zishan was still sitting on the high seat with an old look. He raised his head calmly and glanced at everyone coldly.
That seemingly ordinary look seemed to carry an invisible deterrent force, instantly suppressing the increasingly loud curses.
The entire forum suddenly fell silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting for his response.
Jin Zishan spoke slowly, his voice not loud but clearly carried to every corner: "Although I am very sorry, I am not the one in charge now. I have no right to speak on behalf of the heads of the various families."
"That's true. It's really troublesome when the Palace Master is not around."
"Alas, even if I am willing to agree, there is nothing I can do. After all, I have pledged allegiance to the Palace Master in the name of the Beast God."
“It’s a really troubling question.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started talking about it.
"...Uh, what's going on?"
"What, how is this possible?"
"Could it be that Mr. Jin is not the leader of the Soul-Calming Hall?"
Everyone has heard about the configuration of the Soul-Calming Hall and knows that it contains the priceless and hard-to-find Holy Healing Spiritual Fluid as a resource.
Originally everyone thought that the leader of the organization was Jin Zishan, but now from what Jin Zishan said, it seems that there is someone else.
For a moment, everyone's hearts were filled with curiosity and speculation, and the sound of whispers came one after another.
The entire forum was plunged into noise again.
"What's going on? Didn't Jin Zishan unite with the major families just to be wary of me?"
Lie Xiaotian was also shocked and confused.
At this moment, Bai Luoluo, wearing a mask and a simple yet elegant robe, walked in lightly, and Conis followed her steadily like a towering mountain.
The two men exuded an awe-inspiring aura, and they forged a path through the huge crowd of orcs.
"Welcome, Palace Master."
As soon as Jin Zishan saw Bai Luoluo, a hint of joy and relief immediately flashed in his eyes.
He quickly straightened his clothes and took the lead in respectfully saluting, his voice loud and solemn: "Welcome, Palace Master!"
Tuoba Yehu was suspicious, but his body was faster than his brain, and he quickly shouted, "Welcome to the Palace Master!"
The Ye family and others followed closely behind, and the shouts that came one after another successfully shocked the surroundings.
After all, it was the first time they saw the head of a noble family groveling.
The orcs' eyes were all focused on Bai Luoluo. Seeing her slightly unfamiliar figure with a green face and fangs, they couldn't help but feel confused.
"No, who on earth is she that makes all the heads of the families bow down to her in worship?"
"Didn't you hear? She's the master of the Soul-Calming Hall. I heard that the Holy Healing Spiritual Juice was made by her."
"Really? Doesn't that mean joining the Soul-Calming Palace will give you a chance to obtain the priceless Holy Healing Spiritual Juice?"
As for Lie Xiaotian, the moment he saw Bai Luoluo, his originally calm expression changed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
"She is……"
Lie Xiaotian quickly guessed the identities of Bai Luoluo and Conis, and couldn't help but grit his teeth in his heart.
"I didn't expect that I still underestimated the wife that Conis found."
Lie Xiaotian could never have imagined that a seemingly weak female actually possessed such amazing abilities and could even convince an old fox like Jin Zilin to gather power in a short period of time.
The key point is to make them submit willingly, which is something even he can't do!
"Could it be that she has the same hypnotic ability as Bao Zier?" Lie Xiaotian speculated in his heart.
Lie Xiaotian felt a strong sense of unease in his heart. He realized that his plan might be on the verge of failure again.
the other side.
Bai Luoluo had no choice but to agree to her grandfather's sudden addition.
He suppressed the embarrassment of having paronychia and spoke with a smile.
"Excuse me, City Lord Lie, but it seems you want me to contribute money and manpower to the Soul-Suppressing Hall?"
Unfortunately, she has no money and no life.
