At this time, Rong Lin and the other elders rushed to the door. In addition to the other three family heads of Rong City mentioned by the servant, they also saw... the leaders of the forces in the other three cities, and some independent cultivators.
In other words, the leaders of the four cities are all gathered at the Rong family at this moment!
Rong Lin withdrew his spiritual power and fell from the sky. He glanced at the people in front of him, and the sense of foreboding in his heart grew stronger.
Sure enough, someone spoke the next second.
"Rong Lin! As the head of the Rong family, you actually dared to collude with the Tiger King in secret and harm the human race. Aren't you afraid of heaven's punishment?!"
"Several disciples of my clan have died in the beast tide. Rong Lin, you must give me an explanation today!"
"The Rong family, what a Rong family! Son, go with peace of mind. Your father will definitely help you avenge your death!"
"Rong Lin..."
Every word of condemnation fell into Rong Lin's ears, and it was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.
When he flew here earlier, he still held a glimmer of hope, thinking... maybe these people came to discuss some cooperation with his Rong family, and maybe the situation would not be so bad?
But when these questions came crashing down, Rong Lin was filled with only despair.
He had never colluded with the Tiger King to harm the human race, and neither had the Rong family.
But does the truth matter to these people?
There is an opportunity to erode the Rong family and gain benefits, and it can be done openly and honestly to gain a good reputation. No matter which force it is, there will be no hesitation!
Besides, since these people dared to gather together and come to the Rong family, they must have some evidence and want to kill the Rong family with one blow!
The Seventh Elder took a step forward, his face flushed red, and he was obviously very angry.
"This is sheer nonsense! When did our Rong family collude with the Tiger King? When did they harm the human race? How come I didn't know?"
No matter who you are, no one will accept the fact that such a false accusation has suddenly been placed on your head.
The Seventh Elder's words expressed the thoughts of the other Rong Family elders. Upon seeing this, they immediately echoed his words.
"My Rong family is upright and honest. In all these years, when have we ever done anything to offend the human race? Are you all blind?"
But at this time, the elders' excuses were nothing but hypocritical lies in the eyes of many people who came.
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know it yourself! What? Do you dare to do it but not take responsibility for it?"
"Your Rong family has never done anything to offend the human race? Haha! What a joke! How dare you say that this beast tide has nothing to do with your Rong family?"
"Give up! We already know what the Rong family has done, and we will never let you continue to do evil!"
"Yes, today! I will use the blood of your Rong family to commemorate my dead sister!"
“…”
As he spoke, someone took a few steps forward, gripped his weapon tightly, and prepared to charge.
In the beast tide in the Huwei Forest, too many people from the four cities died, including the children of major forces and even more independent cultivators.
Each of them has relatives and friends who they care about and feel sad for.
And today, after learning that the Rong family was the culprit of the beast tide, these people spontaneously followed the troops here with the purpose of avenging their dead relatives and friends!
They could only contribute their limited efforts to the conquest of the Tiger King and had no way of participating in the final battle, but towards the Rong family... unless they went in and killed a few people, the hatred in their hearts would be hard to get rid of.
Rong Lin's eyes swept across the faces of the people who spoke, finally stopping at Yu Long. "Where's the evidence?"
Since we are here to attack, there must be some solid evidence to give these people a reason to come, right?
This question hit the nail on the head, and the elders of the Rong family all turned their attention to Yu Long.
Yu Long had an expressionless face, one hand behind his back, and was in a daze when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Then, he turned around belatedly and met Rong Lin's gaze.
Why are you asking me? Why not ask someone else? Can't you see I'm just sitting there in a daze? He complained in his heart, but didn't dare to show it on his face.
Yu Long naturally understood this.
There is an alliance between his Yu family and the Rong family. It is unreasonable for the Yu family, as an ally, to join the punitive army.
Rong Lin's words were not only inquiring about the root cause of the crusade, but also questioning him whether he still remembered that the two families were allies.
Hmm... How should I put it? As a character in the play, no. As an audience member, yes!
Yu Long raised his lip slightly and said, "Brother Rong, the person you should ask about this question is your son."
"...My son?" Rong Lin was stunned, his brows furrowed.
Son, he has two... Is the so-called evidence these people claim is related to Rong Jian? What did Rong Jian do during the two months he disappeared?
The news that Rong Chi brought back was that Rong Jian had lost his trace in the beast tide.
At that time, he didn't have much cultivation and had just stepped into the door of cultivation.
Yet, he was able to escape the beast tide and survive. Moreover, his strength increased significantly. In just two months, he achieved what others would have to work hard for years to achieve.
This is not reasonable in the first place, and Rong Lin has had his doubts.
He secretly checked Rong Jian's body and found nothing wrong. He was the same as other young men in the family who were practicing normally.
Therefore, Rong Lin only thought that his son had some good opportunity in the Huwei Mountains and Forests, which enabled him to improve his cultivation in such a short period of time.
Now it seems that Rong Jian's opportunity may be related to the Tiger King.
And the little tiger that Rong Jian brought back...could it be?!
Rong Lin's pupils shrank, and he looked at Yu Long, wanting to ask for clarification, but he saw Wen Gong and the man in black flying down.
"Master Rong, do you want evidence?" Wen Gong stared directly at Rong Lin, his eyes filled with a sharp light. "Your son is the evidence. The tiger king cub in your son's hand is the evidence!"
Rong Lin's face turned cold and he moved his mouth, but he didn't know how to respond.
If the story about the tiger king's cubs was true, then his Rong family would be in danger today.
"City Lord Wen keeps saying that the tiger cub in Rong Jian's hand is a tiger king cub. Then..." The Seventh Elder glared, "Where did you get that conclusion?"
The Tiger King is a winged tiger, and they have also seen Rong Jian's cub, which does not have wings.
Wen Gong smiled, his expression full of confidence.
"As you all know, some time ago, the four cities joined forces to attack the Tiger King, but they couldn't find any trace of the Tiger King in the Tiger Forest. With no other options, they had to leave people behind to search for him and temporarily evacuate."
"As the initiator of this crusade, the Qingyue City Lord's Mansion must naturally do its best."
"And a few days ago, by chance, one of my men sensed the unique aura of the Tiger King outside Rong City. I even saw Rong Jian, the second son of the Rong family, and a tiger cub appear out of thin air outside the city!"
"Why would a mere young man in the Body Tempering Stage be personally escorted by the Tiger King? Rong Lin, do you dare to say that the cub isn't the Tiger King's son? Your Rong family has nothing to do with the Tiger King?!"
