Due to its proximity to the border and abundant resources around it, the small Ningcheng was like an inexperienced girl, attracting the covetousness of all the major families in Longhua.
Fortunately, the Hu family, which has always been entrenched here, has a deep enough background.
Several bloody battles directly repelled countless wealthy families who tried to extend their hands into Ningcheng.
Up to now, only the Zhu family, Wu family, Guo family and Wei family are left.
With the support of other big families, these four major families can barely compete with the Hu family.
But when it comes to territory, these four families combined are only equal to the Hu family, and if the Yuecheng Lang family hadn't put increasing pressure on the Hu family in the Qingyuan mine in recent years, the strength comparison between the two sides would have been Even more disparity.
In view of this, the Hu family can be regarded as the dominant one in this small town.
Such a huge force has also divided into several branches within the family.
For example, the high priest, clan leader and ruling elder belong to the Hu family.
The direct line of the family has the reputation of Jiuyou, and there are five other branches: Zebai branch, Liqing branch, Xuechi branch, Arctic branch and Shaluo branch.
Among these major branches, the Zebai branch and the Liqing branch are stronger.
Together with the direct line, they are called the upper three branches.
The other branches are collectively called the lower three branches.
The residences of these branches are not concentrated together, but are scattered throughout Ningxia.
Among all places in the city, only the ancestral hall used by the clan to discuss affairs is located in the center of Ningcheng, symbolizing the Hu family's unique status in Ningcheng.
The Zongtang has a high status in the Hu family.
Only the high priests and members of the Council of Elders are qualified to stay here.
Due to the intense fighting in the Qingyuan Mine a few days ago, most of the elders were sent to the front line to support, so the inside seemed much cleaner than usual. .
At this moment, in the high priest's room in the ancestral hall, a white-haired middle-aged man wearing armor stood in front of the high priest and was talking quietly.
"Master Priest, when we were in the forbidden area just now, Hu Gao no longer remembers who he is.
He seems to have lost his memory.
Before the sacrifice, Hu Gao and his subordinates had interacted with him several times.
He should not be pretending."
It was Bai Wei who was sent back yesterday by the ruling elders to report the news.
"Well, there are a lot of strange things in this matter.
Back then, Qinggao was the perfect vessel that I personally selected from the Liqing lineage.
For this reason, I even made an exception and gave him the surname Hu.
I must have thought that the Huangquan of the Zebai lineage must be the reason for this.
The Great Elder and the Great Elder of Zangming from the Li Qing lineage both knew it well, but I didn’t expect that this time, Li Qing, the weakest of the three, would make me look at him with admiration.”
High Priest Hu Jiuzhan sighed.
Said silently.
"Priest, there is no need to worry.
The inheritor is very powerful.
If there is a problem with Hu Gao, it will not last long.
His subordinates will keep an eye on him secretly and come back to report to you at any time."
"Okay, but you have to be careful.
Grand Elder Huang Quan has been brooding about the bloodline inheritance for many years.
For the long-term revival of the family, irreversible changes must not occur because of trivial matters."
Hu Jiuzhan held the scepter. , stood up, with a hint of bright expectation on his old face.
At this time, outside the ancestral hall, Hu Gao, who was still in shock and was touching his chest with one hand, was put down by Qingfeng and followed a few people silently.
He could feel that the others seemed to be injured because of the injury of the great elder Judgment.
There was a lot of hostility towards him.
Hey, he was shot even while lying down.
"puff" Just after entering the first inner door of the ancestral hall, Elder Judgment finally couldn't hold back and spit out a mouthful of black blood.
After the blood stains were sprayed on the ground, purple smoke rose up, which was obviously highly toxic.

"Judgment Great Elder, you" The four people looked shocked and panicked.
Elder Judgment is the leader of the entire Hu family's bodyguard team and the mainstay of the family.
If an accident occurs at this time, it will be a huge blow to the already precarious Hu family.
"I didn't expect that little bastard Lang Sheng's black flame wolf beast soul would progress so quickly.
I could take his move a year ago, but now I can't resist it.
The poison of fire rushed into my heart.
I'm afraid it's...
Time is running out."
The face of the ruling elder was pale, and his old face was full of worry, "But his beast soul was shattered by me with all my strength.
This guy is so arrogant and dares to ignore the restrictions of our Hu tribe.
Fortunately, he won't live long."
After all, he is the most powerful genius of the Lang clan in recent years.
If we get rid of him, we can at least get a few years of peace."
"Elder Judgment, you will be fine."
The four of them also looked sad.
Although the chance of killing Lang was a blessing in disguise, for the Hu family, such a loss was still unacceptable.
"If I were thirty years younger, I would still be able to withstand the poison of the Black Flame Wolf.
But now I can't.
An Feng, go and call Bai Xiao.
It would be a waste to take all my blood and essence underground.
Just consider this my last contribution to the family.
As for Hu Gao, I can only leave it to the priest."
The elder Judgment was calm.
He was not afraid of death, but he was worried about the future of the Hu family.
Especially at this time, Hu Gao, who was standing next to him with a calm face, why couldn't he feel any trace of the Hu family's blood from him?
breath "Great Elder" Several people cried out sadly.
"Go ahead, I've lived long enough, and death may be a relief for me."
The Judgment Elder waved his hand at the four of them.
"Yes" The four people who have been wearing masks belong to the special organization of the Hu family.
They are personally managed and deployed by the priest.
Each person has a different code name according to the mask.
One of the masks has a word wind engraved on it.
The man raised his hand to wipe his tears and said with a sad expression.
Hu Gao stood aside and watched without saying a word.
For the first time, he witnessed the death of a flesh-and-blood person, which made him see the cruelty of the other world.
How can he gain a foothold here without even the slightest ability?
, is the problem he must face now "Master Priest, you are here."
An Feng was about to leave when he happened to meet the Master Priest who came after receiving the news.
He quickly bowed in greeting and stepped aside.
Hu Jiuzhan looked at the shaky Judgment Chief Shuilong supported by the two people, and hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him.
"Old man," before he could finish his words, he was choked with tears.
He waved his right hand, " Anfeng, please go first, and the other Anshi will take Hu Gao to find the clan leader, as long as I'm here."
As a high priest, he didn't want too many people to see his fragile side.
The direct line of the Hu family was now withered.
He had struggled to support it for so many years.

Who would have thought that just when the family was about to rejuvenate, he would be standing behind him.
The most powerful supporter actually walked ahead because of his own mistakes.
Hu Jiuzhan felt deep self-blame in his heart.
The secret service had reminded him many times before that there were changes in the Lang family.
At that time, he was preparing for the final sacrifice and had no way to distract himself.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a tragedy. , God really does not bless me, the Hu people.
Hu Shuilong forced a smile and said, "Master Priest, don't be sad.
Three hundred years of ups and downs have long been forgotten.
Besides, the new generation of our Hu family has also grown up, especially the patriarch's daughter Hu Wushuang.
I'm afraid you don't have to be talented to win, ahem."
Hu Shuilong spat out another mouthful of black blood, "Besides, our sacrifice was finally successful this time.
With the successor, there is still hope for everything."
"Stop talking, we will definitely avenge you, our Hu tribe will never perish":
