In the restaurants of Xiangyang City, large and small, people from the martial arts world were passionately discussing amongst themselves.
Xiangyang City was no longer as lively as it used to be. It was said that the Mongolian Army was preparing and would soon attack the city.
It was at this moment that three Daoists riding horses arrived outside of Xiangyang City.
The old Daoist priest in the lead wore a gray Daoist robe, and his expression was ancient. He was none other than the King that had come to Xiangyang City to request Guo Jing to administer justice. Behind him were two third-generation disciples dressed in black Daoist robes.
They rode into the city without the slightest hesitation and headed straight for Guo Qing's mansion.
The Taoists of the True Sect were quite recognizable. A few of the martial artists who were originally planning to greet them immediately gave up on greeting when they saw the three mournful expressions on their faces.
Xiangyang City was very big. A trio of princes rode their horses and galloped along the streets. It was half an hour later before they arrived outside the Guo Mansion.
There was no need for a notice, because the servants of the Guo Mansion were aware of the relationship between Guo Jing and the entire True Sect.
He invited the trio from King's Hall into the mansion.
”Please wait a moment, Daoist Daoists. I'll go get Lord Guo.”
The king returned the bow and replied, ”Sorry for troubling you.”
The servant didn't dare to say anything and ran off to look for Guo Qing.
”Dao Elder Wang, Senior Martial Brother Li, Senior Martial Brother Yu, you should have notified me earlier when you came. I can also go welcome the two of you!”
In a moment, a middle-aged man stepped through the door. His square face was full of righteousness, and his voice was bright. He was walking steadily.
It was none other than the great hero of the generation, Guo Jing.
”Jing Er!”
Wang Tong stood up and cupped his hands. His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was choked with emotions.
”Dao Elder Wang, what happened to you two?”
Even if Guo Jing had been honest and straightforward, he'd felt that the atmosphere wasn't right.
