...Chapter 171: Innate demonic nature...

“What, dad, you want me to solve this case?” The girl pointed to herself, her face extremely shocked.

“Why, you don't want to?” Tie Xue Leng smiled gently.

“No, no, of course I'm willing!” Tie Ruo Nan finally reacted, jumping in excitement.

Tie Xue Leng nodded, sighing in a complicated tone, “You aspire to walk on the same path as me. These few years where you were by my side, you have been greatly influenced by me and learned a lot. An eagle can only learn to fly by itself, only then can it truly grow. Your father is old, my wounds are incurable. I cannot continue with you as you live your life, and as a new generation replaces the old, what happens next is up to you . “

“Dad... do not give up first, is there still hope for treatment?” The young girl's voice trembled as she held back tears.

“You and I both know that the odds are very slim. People have to learn to face the facts, Ruo Nan,” Tie Xue Leng laughed, then turned towards Gu Yue Bo, “Don't worry, clan leader Gu Yue, he said, my daughter has learned at least 80% of my abilities. With my guidance all along, he won't let your clan suffer injustice. ”

” Of course, of course. “Gu Yue Bo quickly cupped his fists,” Young Hero is on par with men; graceful disposition and hero boy, there is no reason for me to worry. Please come to the village and let us party after your arrival. ”

…. . .

Plates filled the entire table, with a fragrance flooding the surroundings. Clear wine was poured from the wine jar in a straight line into Tie Xue Leng's cup.

The wolf tide had just ended, and Gu Yue village was in its heaviest period. Large amounts of resources have been expended, leading to food shortages and commodity shortages. Many people will die of hunger.

But even so, in order to welcome Tie Xue Leng, the Gu Yue clan still composed this banquet.

As the leader of the clan, Gu Yue Bo sat on the chair of the clan head, while Tie Xue Leng and Tie Ruo Nan were beside him.

Moreover, Gu Yue Chi Zhong, Gu Yue Ge Yan, Gu Yue Mo Chen, Gu Yue Yao Ji, as well as Fang Yuan and the others, all of whom were elders, were present.

Before the wave of wolves, the Gu Yue clan had more than a dozen clan elders. But now, only one table was left, and there were less than ten old men.

Moreover, the clan elders present were all injured in varying degrees.

Especially in the case of Gu Yue Mo Chen – two weeks ago when he was fighting a wave of wolves, he was severely injured and hid in his private room to recuperate. He was resting on the bed, but when he heard about Tie Xue Leng's arrival, he forced his body to stand up and attend this banquet.

But this also made him escape the crisis, while his old rival Gu Yue Chi Lian had followed the clan leader in attacking the thunder crown wolf and was killed by the lightning lycan.

“If it wasn't for Brother Tie's help today, I might have already become the lightning lycan's lunch. To save my life, I toast to Brother Tie this cup!” Gu Yue Bo stood up, holding the cup with both hands and bending her back, sincerely thanking her.

“I just do what I can.” Tie Xue Leng raised his cup, drinking the wine at once.

He had a wary and strict lifestyle, refused to gamble or seek prostitutes, maintained his morality and was never greedy on liquor. He was thus, never drunk.

After drinking this cup, Gu Yue Bo looked at the people at the banquet, her eyes reddened, sighed and sat down.

Tie Xue Leng had seen such a situation many times, and he comforted, “ Clan leader Gu Yue, my condolences. As long as your clan is still around, the village will definitely develop again someday. The lightning lycan was severely injured as well, and the lightning wolves had been severely damaged, they would not attack for the next few years. This wolf wave had survived safely. “

The heaviest period of the wolf wave had indeed ended. Over the next few months, although lightning wolves would still appear, their numbers would continue to decrease, and no large groups would form. The pack of wolves no longer had the ability to attack the village directly.

Lightning lycan would return to the wolf nest and recuperate there, while slowly organizing the remaining wolves. Many wolves would be recalled, and many lightning wolves would die, causing the food requirement for the wolf pack to drop drastically.

The pack of wolves will become self-sufficiency, and in the next few years, they will gradually become stronger, where a hundred new beast kings – brave lightning wolves, will become more powerful, thousand beast kings – crazy lightning wolves, and countless beast kings – crown wolf thunder will appear .

At its peak, it began to weaken, and at its weakest point, it began to prosper.

Regardless of humans or wolves, they followed such laws.

But even though Tie Xue Leng's words were true, humans were neither grass nor trees, they had feelings. Clan leader Gu Yue understood this fact much better than Tie Xue Leng, but the tribulation and pain in his heart were unavoidable.

The sacrifice is too great…. . .

Only the elders of the higher clans had already left at least half of it. As for Rank two and Rank one Gu Masters, they had a greater number of casualties. The strength of the entire Gu Yue village had fallen to its lowest point, and could no longer bear the calamity anymore.

“Why don't you guys counterattack, and destroy their nest?” On one side, Tie Ruo Nan could not understand and asked in confusion.

“That's because inside the wolf den, there were more than dozens of clusters of lightning gas worms, numbering over a million of them in total. There was also a large amount of wild Gu mixed in. It is difficult to cause damage to them. , unless the three clans work together, “Gu Yue Yao Ji explained.

Saying so, he suddenly snorted, staring at Fang Yuan, “But this possibility was too small. Even within our clan, there are clan elders shrinking in fear, and during the wolf wave attack, Gods know where they are hiding!”

Saying so, all the other clan elders turned their gazes towards Fang Yuan.

Previously, Fang Yuan was inside a secret cave of rock cracks that explored the legacy of the Flower Wine Monk, causing him to miss the great battle in fighting the wolf tide. In everyone's eyes, this was cunning and evasive, as well as being shy and afraid of death.

Thus, the expressions of the clan elders towards Fang Yuan were all filled with unhappiness, humiliation, and some hidden anger.

Even Gu Yue Bo's expression looked ugly.

The mood at the dinner soon changed.

Tie's father and daughter also felt this change, following everyone's gaze and looking towards Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan's young appearance had attracted the attention of Tie Ruo Nan who was the same age as him.

Fang Yuan drank his wine calmly. Although everyone's gaze was fixed on him, he acted as if he felt nothing.

His expression was calm, as he had already anticipated such a situation if people found trouble with him.

“Everything is getting troublesome,” he sighed in his heart. Though worried, he was not afraid.

Tie Xue Leng's appearance had ruined his plan to leave. If he took the Heavenly Treasure Lotus and destroyed the foundation of Gu Yue village, this would cause Tie's father and son to catch him.

The name heavenly investigator is not just a myth. With his ability and strength, as long as Tie Xue Leng started his pursuit, there was no possibility of failure.

Even if he did not take the Heavenly Treasure Lotus, its mysterious disappearance would cause the clan to investigate. Since this involves the death of Jia Jin Sheng, even Tie's father and son will be involved.

If he were to leave without notice, in their eyes it would be a thief trying to escape, running away from his crimes.

With no choice, Fang Yuan could only choose to stay and observe the situation.

Although everyone reprimanded him, the situation right now was still not the worst. If he were to leave now, it would be a panic move, and it would cause the entire situation to worsen.

“Is the wine good?” Gu Yue Yao Ji laughed sinisterly, looking at Fang Yuan, “Are you not going to explain?”

Fang Yuan slowly put down his cup, raised his head and looked at Gu Yue Yao Ji's broken arm.

The old one is the most cunning, this is very true.

In order to save his life, Gu Yue Yao Ji broke his own arm, and in the name of being injured, he avoided the clan's mission of entering the battlefield.

This had also happened in Fang Yuan's previous life, but to think he was doing the same thing once again.

His act of sacrificing one limb to save his life, was indeed effective. It prevented him from being killed by the crown wolf of thunder and did not participate in the chase, thus keeping himself alive. However, the current him found the problem with Fang Yuan's – one aspect was due to a long grudge, but mostly because he wanted to attract Fang Yuan's attention and reduce people's attention to himself.

“What do you want me to explain? Explain how you broke your own limb just to sustain your miserable life?” Fang Yuan sneered.

“APA?!” Gu Yue Yao Ji was shocked and furious, standing up from his chair.

He stared with both eyes wide open, pointing to Fang Yuan's nose, shrill, “You little! How dare you accuse me like this, this blatant slander, slander !! How can you be so shameless? How could our Gu Yue clan have a joke like you? ”

“Gu Yue Yao Ji!” Gu Yue Bo's expression changed, yelling, “Sit down immediately, we have an important guest here, how can you shout and shout freely like this?”

Gu Yue Yao Ji wanted to continue scolding, but upon seeing Gu Yue Bo's faint expression, he could only swallow the words he was about to let out.

He stared angrily at Fang Yuan, sitting down reluctantly.

Gu Yue Bo settled Yao Ji's matter, then turned her head to look towards Fang Yuan, “Elder Fang Yuan, I need an explanation. During the wolf wave attack, where are you?”

“Fang Yuan ... is he Fang Yuan?” Tie Xue Leng's eyes shone in surprise. In the mysterious disappearance of Jia Jin Sheng, Fang Yuan had played a crucial role. Before coming here, Tie Xue Leng had already gotten a lot of information from Jia Fu. But to think that this young elder was Fang Yuan himself. Instantly, Tie Xue Leng's heart became interested.

He had solved many cases and could see the strangeness of all traces of evidence, to guess the real facts. From everyone's expressions, he could tell the truth behind Fang Yuan's sudden avoidance from the battle.

But the truth that everyone knows only scratches the surface, what is reality really?

Regardless of what the truth was, Fang Yuan's answer would reveal a portion of his inner thoughts. That will be very helpful in resolving this case later.

Sensing Tie Xue Leng's attention to him, Fang Yuan's heart stiffened, but his expression remained the same.

He looked at everyone clearly, and a mocking smile appeared on his face, “There's not much to explain. Since the clan elder asked, I will just say it. I was so scared at the time. Stress accumulated over this vast period, so did my fear of death that had reached its limit. I can't stand it anymore, I'm cowardly and weak, I hide in a corner and no longer dare to enter the front line. “

As soon as he said so, everyone was dumbfounded.

They expected Fang Yuan to use all sorts of excuses and excuses, and prepare to expose his lies and criticize Fang Yuan. But to think he admitted it directly!

“Every kind of lie, as long as it's not true, will have a loophole. Furthermore, Tie Xue Leng was here ..” Fang Yuan's facial expression was calm, looking down and staring at the wine in his cup.

Tie Xue Leng's expression became strange. He involuntarily frowned, and hatred and antipathy appeared in his heart.

“This young man, he has innate demonic nature!”
