The sun shone down, and the scorching heat covered the entire yellow ruins.
This was a desert area more than eighty kilometers away from Uman City.
No one knew that one of the Pei Family's main camps was actually located in the center of this desert.
The earthy yellow walls of the ruins formed a huge hemisphere, covering half of the area within.
In the covered area, there was an ancient tree with huge roots exposed on the ground.
The ancient tree's roots extended down a stone staircase, covering the entire staircase.
It was evening, and although the sun was setting, it was still extremely hot.
The senior elders of the Pei Family, each holding their crutches, stood quietly on the empty space at the edge of the ancient tree.
There were a total of twelve elders, and at least nine of them were present.
The nine elders all looked solemn, and surrounded by a large crowd, their eyes quietly fell on the center of the field.
There was a metal cross, and on top of it was a beautiful girl with long purple hair.
The girl was unconscious, and looking at her face, it was Pei Shangyu's daughter, Pei Lin.
Xia Yin stood on the side, and looked at the Pei Family's Grand Elder with a complicated expression.
"No matter what, there will not be a next time. This time, the council has suppressed it, but if there is a next time, I'm afraid it won't just be me coming. "
"Of course there won't be a next time. Thank you for the council's understanding and support. My Pei Family is not a group of people who don't know what's good for them, "Grand Elder replied calmly.
"I hope so." Xia Yin's eyes flashed, and fell on Ya Hong who was standing in the corner not far away.
This little girl, who looked like an ordinary and unsociable student, had already reached an exaggerated level in terms of martial strength.
If not for Ya Hong's deterrence, she would not have turned and joined the Pei Family's side.
"Right, where's Chief Luo Yi? Why didn't he come with you? "A senior member of the Pei Family smiled and asked.
"He … went back first, said he was a little tired." Xia Yin smiled.
But her mind flashed back to Luo Yi's look of disdain.
Perhaps after this incident, the friendship between them would be completely gone.
'The essence of politics is to reach a win-win situation through compromise, and only then can you continue to strengthen yourself.
Luo Yi, even if you used to be in a high position, if you don't understand this, you will never be able to walk out of that shackle. '
Xia Yin sighed, and cast aside his regret for Luo Yi, and looked up at the Grand Elder.
"What does the Pei family plan to do now? The Sacred Mountain would never let the Early Moon Sword members die here. I'm afraid the Early Moon Sword's troops are already on their way. "
She stared at the Grand Elder, hoping to find a hint of meaning in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter. Ya Hong is here. Moreover, who can prove which of the Early Moon Sword died in the hands of the Pei Family? Although the Sacred Mountain is supreme, it is only so-so. "
The Second Founding Elder replied with a smile.
Although his demeanor was humble, the arrogance in his tone was obvious to everyone.
Xia Yin's expression did not change, and she did not speak again.
At this moment, a Pei family member trotted forward and whispered something to the First Elder and the Second Elder.
Because high-level Corpsedemons had a special protective force field that could isolate the surrounding sound, Xia Yin did not know what they were talking about.
If he knew how to read lips, he might be able to see something. But there was nothing he could do now.
Xia Yin felt a little regretful.
However, after hearing the news, the expressions of the Grand Elders became visibly ugly.
They whispered some questions, and the informant from the Pei Family answered them one by one.
Soon, the Grand Elders discussed the situation, and then approached Xia Yin.
"I'm sorry, there was a small accident. Pei Shangyu and Zhuang Qing were rescued by a special force, and their whereabouts are unknown. I'm afraid we need extra people to track them down."
The Grand Elder was very polite to Xia Yin. After all, Xia Yin represented the huge force of the Daywalker Council.
"Is that so? Then what do we do now? What's your plan? "Xia Yin was surprised.
"Pei Shangyu and Zhuang Qing love their only daughter very much. As long as Pei Lin is in our hands, they have no choice but to come. So, we just have to wait for them. " Just wait for them here, "the Grand Elder said calmly.
The Pei Family itself was complicated, and belonged to the third force independent of the Daywalker Alliance and the Daywalker Council, which was a family bloodline force.
But they were a particularly strong family force.
"You're not worried about the pressure from the council." Xia Yin said helplessly.
"In this regard, we'll have to rely on Miss Xia's support. Also, we have the support of the council members, and if we speak up together, there shouldn't be any problems. "The Grand Elder said calmly.
The sky gradually darkened.
The surrounding elders, after discussing for a while, went back to their residences to rest. Only some of the family members were left to guard the surroundings.
After Xia Yin and Pei Shangyun, who had hurried over, had a chat, she was also arranged to rest.
Pei Shangyun's mood was very unstable and very irritable. His son Pei Peng had mysteriously disappeared in this operation, and he thought that it was all because of the Corpse Demons that Pei Shangyu had set up.
Even Pei Lin, who he had captured, was hated by him.
Although Pei Peng was not his only son, he was the son he was most satisfied with.
As soon as he saw Pei Lin, he wanted to kill her on the spot.
But he was stopped by the rest of the Pei Family.
Pei Peng's disappearance meant that a lot of the expectations and energy that Pei Shangyun had invested all this time had gone down the drain.
Xia Yin could understand his feelings, but whether it was the Grand Elder, or the council that she now represented, they would not allow Pei Shangyun to mess things up.
With Pei Lin as the bait, they must capture Pei Shangyu and Zhuang Qing in one fell swoop.
…
…
Pei Lin opened her eyes in a daze, feeling that there was not a single joint in her body that did not hurt.
Her whole body was tied to a metal cross in ragged clothes, surrounded by the darkness of the night.
Even at night, the hot wind in the desert still made her sweat all over.
"Where is this place?" The last thought she remembered was being knocked unconscious by that woman, Xia Yin.
"Xia Yin … hehe …" She recalled that hypocritical woman, and felt nauseous.
"Don't be afraid, Lin Lin, we'll save you right away." Suddenly, a voice as soft as a mosquito came into her ears.
In the darkness, the Pei Family's Corpse Demons that were guarding around suddenly fell to the ground without a sound.
One by one, figures wearing white armor and carrying sawtooth-like longswords, were rising and falling at an incredible speed, clearing out all the Pei Family's guards like lightning.
"Early Moon Sword!?" Pei Lin's eyes lit up.
Seeing this scene, a strong sense of hope rose in her heart.
The Early Moon Sword, according to what her aunt said, was the strongest guard force on the Sacred Mountain, and now that they appeared, it was obvious that they were here for the Pei Family's Corpse Demons.
When she thought of her aunt, Pei Lin could not help but feel a little pain in her heart. There was no doubt that her aunt had died for her.
Coming back to her senses, Pei Lin's eyes widened as she watched the Pei Family's Corpse Demons being ambushed one after another, falling to the ground and disappearing without a sound.
One by one, people in white armor carrying sawtooth-like longswords entered the field.
The ancient tree scattered a light purple rain of leaves with the wind.
Just the rustling of the leaves was enough to drown out the sounds of fighting around them.
"Don't be afraid. Lin Lin. I'll put you down right away. "A familiar figure suddenly appeared not far in front of Pei Lin.
Pei Shangyu's face was filled with joy as he changed into a clean black shirt, as the night wind blew his purple hair.
