Chapter 4407: The Strength of the Wen Family
Nie Tian had his own reasons for suspecting that Mr. Si was from the Wen family.
He felt that the sudden disappearance of Wen Hou should be caused by the people of Guiya Sect, and the kidnapping of Wen Hou was very likely done by Mr. Si himself.
The person who could easily kidnap Wen Hou in the Wen family was most likely a senior member of the Wen family.
Considering both, Mr. Si was very likely to be from the Wen family!
Wen Xiang led Nie Tian and others out of the secret place and went directly to the Elders' Council.
After leaving the secret place, Wen Xiang asked Wen Lun to notify the guards of the Wen Mansion to seal off the entire Wen Mansion from this moment on, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Then, Wen Xiang, Nie Tian and others went straight to the Elders' Council.
Along the way, Nie Tian saw that everything was normal in the Wen Mansion, but there was an invisible sense of oppression.
A moment later, everyone came to the inner courtyard where the Elders' Council was located and went directly into the lobby of the Elders' Council.
"Master, what happened?" At this time, an old man in a gray robe walked out of the hall. He was short, but his eyes were very sharp. Seeing Wen Xiang and others so imposing, he couldn't help but ask carefully.
He was Wen Buyu, the fifth elder of the Wen family. He ranked high in the elders' council, but his status was not high. He didn't like to talk much at ordinary times, giving people a feeling of honesty and kindness.
"Fifth elder, please inform everyone in the elders' council that this master has important things to discuss with everyone." Wen Xiang said sternly without any nonsense.
"Okay." Wen Buyu saw Wen Xiang's expression and immediately knew that something big had happened. He didn't dare to neglect it. After agreeing, he left directly and rushed to inform other elders.
The Wen family is a big family. The distribution of family power is similar to that of other big families. There is a difference between the patriarch and the elders' council.
Usually, the patriarch is in charge of all family affairs, but whenever something big happens, the patriarch cannot make the decision on his own and must consult the elders' council.
The elders' council of the Wen family has eleven elders, all of whom are the older generation of warriors of the Wen family.
Wen Xiang led everyone into the hall and arranged for everyone to sit down.
No one spoke in the hall, the atmosphere was a bit depressing, and everyone was thinking.
After a while, Wen Lun appeared in the hall.
"Lun'er, have you arranged things?" Wen Xiang looked up and asked when he saw Wen Lun coming back.
"Don't worry, second uncle, I have notified the guards. Not only is the interior of the Wen Mansion under strict surveillance, but everything within dozens of miles around the Wen Mansion is also under control. As long as the person who kidnapped my grandfather is still in the Wen Mansion, he will definitely not escape!" Wen Lun said with confidence.
"That's good." Wen Lun's tense face eased a little, but he was still worried in his heart. After all, it has been some time since Wen Hou disappeared. Will the kidnapper have left?
Soon, the fifth elder Wen Buyu came back, followed by two old men of the same age as him. They all had a strong aura and were strong at first glance.
"Fifth elder, seventh elder, eighth elder." Wen Xiang saw the three people and nodded slightly and shouted.
"Master, what happened? Why are you calling everyone in such a hurry?" The Eighth Elder was old, but he looked very fierce and impatient. He asked carelessly.
"Don't be impatient, Eighth Elder. Please be patient. When everyone is here, I will tell everyone everything." Wen Xiang signaled the Eighth Elder not to be impatient and waved his hand to signal the three elders to sit down.
"Master, these are..." The Seventh Elder was tall and looked very steady. His shrewd eyes could not help but sweep over Nie Tian and others.
After all, this is the lobby of the Wen family elders' council, not for ordinary people.
Wen Lun is a direct disciple of the Wen family, and he may even become the next head of the Wen family. It is understandable for him to be here, but Nie Tian and others are obviously outsiders. How can they enter the lobby of the elders' council?
"This is Lord Fenghuang of Fengtian Mingzong, this is Fan Qizhu of Fengtian Mingzong, and that one is Lord Fenghuang's friend." Wen Xiang nodded slightly and introduced Nie Tian, Fan Zhongtang Shisan and others one by one.
"Fenghuang?" The seventh elder's eyes immediately locked on Nie Tian, and his surprise was written on his face.
He never thought that this young man who looked about the same age as Wen Lun would be the Fenghuang of Fengtian Mingzong.
In fact, he also heard that Fengtian Mingzong had found a new Fenghuang, but he didn't expect that the new Fenghuang would be so young.
The fifth and eighth elders were also stunned, looking at Nie Tian with shock.
"May I ask Lord Fenghuang, what are you doing here at Wen Mansion?" It was still the seventh elder who reacted first, bowed slightly to Nie Tian, and asked respectfully.
"This emperor is here to invite Senior Wen Hou to come out of the mountain, and now I have encountered some troubles." Nie Tian nodded and said lightly.
When the Seventh Elder heard the word "trouble", he couldn't help but frown, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Wen Xiang had already said that he would tell everyone everything after everyone was gathered, so there was no need to rush at this moment.
Nie Tian swept his eyes over the three elders, secretly sensing their auras, and couldn't help but be surprised.
The auras of these three elders were very strong, and they were obviously all Tianwu Saint Ancestors. It seemed that their strength was not much different from Fan Zhong.
These three people were obviously not the strongest in the Wen Family Elders Council, and there must be stronger figures in the Elders Council who have not yet appeared.
In this way, the Wen family alone is only stronger than Fengtian Fate Sect.
The Wen family is obviously not the most powerful family in the Seven Cultivation Saint Realm, but it is not weaker than Fengtian Fate Sect. This shows the decline of Fengtian Fate Sect.
Nie Tian glanced at Fan Zhong, who understood, but shook his head.
Fan Zhong began to carefully sense the three elders when they just entered the hall, but unfortunately, none of them had a similar aura to Mr. Four.
Next, the other elders came to the hall one after another.
About half an hour later, nine elders of the Wen family appeared in the hall.
Unfortunately, Fan Zhong still did not find any suspicious people.
"Who else hasn't arrived?" Wen Xiang looked at the elders and asked solemnly.
"Go home, the head of the family, the first elder and the fourth elder haven't come yet." The second elder bowed slightly and replied carefully.
The elders felt that Wen Xiang's mood was a little wrong, and they couldn't help but frown.
Although Wen Xiang was the head of the family, he understood the order of seniority very well. He was usually very respectful to the elders like them, and he had never been as abnormal as today.
Could it be that something big happened in the Wen family?
Nie Tian was secretly observing all the elders, but he didn't find any suspicious points.
"Where are the first elder and the fourth elder?" Wen Xiang frowned and asked coldly.
There was silence in the hall, no one spoke.
The atmosphere suddenly became deep and depressing.
"Master, what happened?" At this time, the second elder could no longer sit still, so he stood up and asked.
Wen Xiang's face was gloomy, and he didn't speak.
"Senior Wen Hou disappeared not long ago, and he must have been kidnapped." At this time, Nie Tian stood up, glanced at everyone, and said lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the audience changed their faces and were shocked on the spot.
