Behind him were more than 20 classmates, with Ning Chen and Ning Yong following the closest.

Wang Lan was the last one to walk out quickly and closed the gate before leaving.

But in fact, before they left the yard together, a large number of communication talismans flew out.

This is because Ning Zhuo requested everyone to spread this news as much as possible before going to the clan ancestral hall, so that it would be a good thing if everyone knew about it.

These talismans flew in the air and quickly spread out, like countless pebbles falling into the large pond of the Ning family.

The impact began to spread.

"Young Clan Leader Ning Xiaoren wanted to make Ning Zhuo his dog, so he framed Ning Zhuo's uncle?"

"The young clan leader actually imprisoned Ning Ze and threatened him with his life and freedom?"

"This news must be fake!"

"That's outrageous. Who spread the rumor?"

"Humph, hasn't Ning Xiaoren done enough excessive things?"

"Even so, if he really does this this time, it would be too much, right?"

Even the members of the main line, after learning the news, felt that Ning Xiaoren had gone too far and had completely crossed the bottom line!

According to the rumors, Ning Zhuo's father Ning Zhong was Ning Xiaoren's savior, and Ning Xiaoren had promised to support Ning Zhuo before Ning Zhong went out to fight to the death.

But in fact, Ning Xiaoren did not provide any resources to Ning Zhuo in the more than ten years of his growth, which was a big break his promise.

Ning Zhuo displayed his talent and aptitude for organization, which made Ning Xiaoren see the value of recruiting and winning him over.

In order to make up for his previous mistakes, he used conspiracy and trickery to frame Ning Zhuo's uncle, and fabricated the story that his uncle embezzled his resources to help Ning Zhuo, causing the Ning Zhuo and Ning Ze family to become enemies.

Ning Zhuo made great achievements in exploring the Immortal Palace, but Ning Xiaoren gave unfair rewards and punishments. Ning Zhuo was so angry that he quit the repair team. Ning Xiaoren threatened Ning Ze with his life and freedom, and made Wang Lan kneel in public to force Ning Zhuo to submit.

Is this something a young patriarch should do?

Is this something a righteous cultivator can do? If it is true, Ning Xiaoren, as the young patriarch of the Ning family, a high-ranking official, uses such methods to deal with his own clan members. He is definitely not worthy of the status of young patriarch.

"If Ning Xiaoren really wants to do this, it would be too outrageous!"

"He wouldn't really do that, would he? That's too stupid."

"I feel like this is more like Ning Zhuo's slander."

Members of the Ning family have often heard the name Ning Zhuo in recent times.

Ning Zhuo used to be an inconspicuous little figure in the branch, but he emerged as a rising star in the joint test of the three companies.

If he was particularly suited to the Five Elements Qi Law, making people envious of his luck, then when he showed his talent, most people were optimistic about his future.

After Ning Zhuo helped his classmates many times, more and more people had a good impression of him.

Recently, Ning Zhuo explored the Immortal Palace and reached the eighth level, which made him a sensation! After all, such an achievement completely trampled Ning Xiaohui under his feet. The key point is that Ning Zhuo is from the branch lineage, and Ning Xiaohui is from the main lineage. This made the branch lineage members who were suppressed on weekdays happy to hear this news.

They didn't enjoy themselves for long before they heard the news that Ning Zhuo had been treated unfairly and had voluntarily withdrawn from the renovation team.

Although Ning Xiaoren deliberately spread the news in an attempt to distort public opinion, the majority of branch clan members have been discussing the "unfair treatment".

Many members of the branch clan expressed sympathy and admiration for Ning Zhuo's withdrawal from the team.

But there are also some members of the branch who secretly dislike Ning Zhuo.

"When I was under pressure from the main meridian, I retreated and gave in. But you did this, standing firm and confronting in public. Compared with you, Ning Zhuo, what was I before?"

The human heart is so subtle.

Ning Zhuo's affairs have been the subject of discussion among the entire clan recently.

Now, suddenly there was explosive news about Ning Xiaoren and Ning Ze, and the public opinion was like a pour of kerosene on a burning fire.

With a bang, the flames rose up like an explosion, burning fiercely! One person told ten people, ten told a hundred, a hundred told a thousand...

"If the young patriarch really does this, then his moral character is really poor."

"Is it true?"

"Ning Zhuo and his group are heading to the clan temple. Why don't we go and take a look?"

"Let's go. I am also a branch and have been oppressed and excluded by the main branch. I want to support Ning Zhuo!"

Countless clansmen set off and headed for the Ning family's clan ancestral hall.

If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that members of the clan walk out of their respective homes, gather in the streets and alleys, form streams of people, and converge on the clan ancestral hall.

"What's going on?" The elder who was guarding the ancestral hall noticed something was wrong.

Before Ning Zhuo and his group arrived, other members of the clan had already arrived at the ancestral hall.

"How dare you! You gather here for no reason and disturb the peace of our ancestors. What do you want to do?" The elder of the ancestral hall came forward and scolded the clan members who had already gathered.

Some tribesmen showed fear.

A steward from a branch clan walked out of the crowd, bowed to the elder of the ancestral hall, and then said, "Elder, something big has happened."

"We must get to the bottom of this today."

"Otherwise, if someone is wronged, our ancestors will be furious if they know about it and criticize us, their descendants, for being unfilial."

The old man in the ancestral hall frowned and mentioned the name of his ancestor. As a result, the deacon also mentioned the name of his ancestor.

The family elder looked very unhappy: "Ning Xiangguo, what happened?"

Ning Xiangguo, who was speaking out for justice, quickly and concisely recounted the whole incident.

The elder in the ancestral hall's face changed slightly.

"Based on the young patriarch's temperament, I'm afraid he could really do such a thing."

"Is it still too late to remedy the situation at this time?"

Thinking of this, the elder of the ancestral hall nodded slightly, his expression relaxed, and said to everyone: "As the elder of the ancestral hall, I have always been fair in my work."

"Since this matter has reached this point, please invite the clan leader and other elders to come and witness it."

"You are all qualified to supervise, but what does it look like to gather at the door?"

"Please disperse. Let my subordinates open the three doors and clear the venue so that you can take your seats."

"You, go and inform the clan leader and the elders of each family!" The ancestral hall elder openly asked a subordinate to go and inform them.

While they were talking, another large group of clansmen arrived at the ancestral hall.

The elder of the ancestral hall was secretly shocked: "This is definitely a major event that alarmed the entire clan."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"It's hard to imagine that it was actually started by a young man at the third level of Qi Refining."

The elder of the ancestral hall knew that he could only go with the flow. He would not be able to hide it. Even if he delayed a little, he might be secretly scolded by the clan members for being lazy.

As the main person in charge, he can only hope that Ning Xiaoren was falsely accused and really did not do these things.

The patriarch soon learned the news and stood up from his seat in shock.

As a father, he knew Ning Xiaoren's style of doing things too well.

He immediately cast a spell, and a talisman flew out to notify Ning Xiaoren.

Ning Xiaoren was in seclusion, breathing and replenishing his magic power when he was interrupted by a communication talisman, which made him unhappy.

However, he quickly recognized that this was his father's work, and couldn't help but be curious: "Dad, why did you ask me to do something? It seems so urgent..."

"Ah!" After seeing the content of the communication talisman, Ning Xiaoren jumped up as if his butt was on fire.

"That little bastard Ning Zhu is trying to harm me!"

Ning Xiaoren no longer had the mind to continue practicing. He pushed open the door of the secret room and ran out.

He ran towards the private prison with all his strength.

At this extremely urgent and critical moment, Ning Ze is the most critical person.

As long as he compromises with Ning Xiaoren and keeps denying it, Ning Xiaoren still has hope.

As a result, when he arrived at the private prison, he saw a group of branch tribesmen surrounding the place.

"Get out of the way!" Ning Xiaoren shouted, "Gathering here, are you planning to cause trouble?"

When the members of the branch tribe saw that it was the young patriarch, they suddenly became a little flustered.

But at this time, an old voice came: "Young Patriarch, you are a step too late. Uncle Ning Zhuo has been brought out by me."

Ning Xiaoren's heart sank as he saw the crowd parting ways and an old man slowly walking out. Behind the old man was Ning Ze, who looked suspicious.

When Ning Xiaoren saw the old man, his eyes went dark. He still bowed and said with difficulty, "Master Fu."

The old man was called Ning Youfu, a member of a branch family. He once served as the patriarch of the Futang family and had accumulated considerable reputation.

Ning Xiaoren wanted to try again: "Mr. Fu, you don't know, this is all Ning Zhuo's trick. Ning Ze is suspected of multiple corruptions and has been under investigation. Ning Ze's wife Wang Lan has repeatedly asked me to release Ning Ze. But I didn't agree, after all, the corruption has not been investigated yet."

Ning Youfu laughed at Ning Xiaoren and said, "Ning Ze will take him away personally, Young Clan Leader. If you want to stop him, just step over my dead body."

Ning Xiaoren said quickly, "How dare I, how dare I, Mr. Fu, you are joking and you have misunderstood me."

"No matter if it's a misunderstanding or not, there will definitely be a result in the clan ancestral hall. Young clan leader, please come in." As he spoke, Ning Youfu led Ning Ze out of the crowd and came in front of Ning Xiaoren.

Ning Xiaoren gritted his teeth and wanted to persevere, but in front of everyone, he was facing the hugely famous Ning Youfu.

He could only take a step back and make way.

Ning Youfu laughed and continued walking.

When he passed Ning Xiaoren's shoulder, Ning Xiaoren's expression changed and he stared at Ning Ze, as if warning him - if you say something you shouldn't, you're done!

Ning Ze quickly lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact with Ning Xiaoren.

His mind was filled with countless doubts, and Ning Youfu hadn't said much to him just now.

"So, what happened?!"

A group of people led by Ning Zhuo walked in the clan territory in a mighty manner.

Compared to when they just left their residence, Ning Zhuo's team has more than doubled in size, with at least fifty more people.

And as Ning Zhuo continued walking, more people joined his team.

People chattered and asked Ning Zhuo many questions, and were very gossipy.

Ning Zhuo kept responding with anger on his face.

Ning Yong was not satisfied, and whispered to Ning Zhuo in private: "Brother Zhuo, if we keep stopping and starting like this and answer questions for other tribesmen, it will delay our trip."

Ning Zhuo just glanced at Ning Yong without explaining.

Ning Chenze transmitted his voice: "Stupid! In this situation, of course the more people know about it, the better. The more people support us, the more successful we will be next time. Do you understand?"

Ning Yong exclaimed, and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand."
