C18 (2/2)
They all knew that this was only the calm before the storm. The longer this silence persisted, the more violent the storm would be.
On this day, Liu'er had just finished washing up. She was surprised to hear that the outside of the door was abnormally noisy. Opening the door to check out the situation, we were just about to bump into Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan shooed and shooed in anger, and then spoke first, ”Coming, coming! It's finally here! Wang Jian brought a group of people, about thirty to forty of them, and said that he was here to ask uncle Jiang to burn the ”Azure Sun Art”, a book that would harm martial arts. Big brother Jiang saw that we've come with ill intentions, and also said that the two of you are not from my manor, so you two can't be implicated because of the matters of my manor. I am here to inform you that you must not go out on a whim. It is safest to stay here. ” After speaking, he gave Liu'er a glance, then hurriedly ran towards the main hall without waiting for Daoist Honest's reply.
Liu'er wanted to follow her, but Daoist Xu Zhen hastily stopped her. ”Where are you going?” Didn't you hear what that little girl said? ” Liu'er said anxiously, ”The two of us have only met once, and we have never had a deep friendship with each other. Now that his enemies had come looking for him, it was bound to be a fierce battle. It's fine that he didn't invite us to help, but he was instead worried about our safety. He wanted Xiao Lan to inform him first, afraid that we would be harmed. If Big Bro Jiang treats me like this and I don't cower, I'll have to bear the burden of my manly body! What are you still doing as a hero! ” Saying so, she pushed Daoist Zhen Zhen away and, ignoring his tugging, also ran towards the main hall. The Daoist shook his head and sighed, then quickly walked towards the hall.
Liu'er entered the hall and saw that it was filled with martial artists. There were at least seventy to eighty of them, filling the previously spacious hall up to the brim. The crocodile was sitting in the middle of the hall. Several people were standing on both sides of the hall. River City was one of them. There were more than ten people sitting on the left and right side of the hall. They were most likely the more prestigious people in the martial arts world.
Liu'er saw that the person sitting in the first seat on the left was a white robed daoist. He seemed to be around thirty years of age, and behind him stood four or five similarly dressed people, each holding a great sword. The second from the left was most likely the leader of the gang, Wang Jian. Although Liu'er didn't know Wang Jian, she knew the people at the back, Wang pigeon and Xiao Feng! Among the rest of the people, some came in groups of two or three, while others came alone.
At this time, the green dragon cupped his hands towards the crowd and said, ”Today, all of the heroes have come to my residence. Do not blame me for being overconfident, I cannot serve all of you. However, I wonder what sort of face does the Jiang manor lord have to dare bring everyone here in person? ”
Wang Jian sat there and did not get up. He cupped his hands and said, ”We do not need your service. We are not here for a casual meal.”
The Azure Dragon City's mansion is extremely deep, and it is not easy to be angry. Instead, he smiled and said, ”Then I am quite relieved. Everyone, come to my residence early in the morning. Sect Leader Wang, do you have any advice for me? As long as it does not go against the right path, I will do my best. ”
Wang Jian sneered and said, ”Hmph, what do you mean by 'not going against the right'? The 12 members of the Qiao family have been dead for many days, yet none of you have stood up to say anything.
Just as the green dragon was about to speak, a daoist-robed young man sitting on the left said to Wang Jian, ”Clan Head Wang, it is not that we are not the ones who are impartial.” The Qiao Family's murder case had not yet been investigated, so it could not be determined that it was the work of the Immortal Crocodile Manor. If we find out that those twelve lives were the work of the Immortal Crocodile clan, it would still not be too late for the Purple Void Sect and everyone else to seek an explanation from the Lord of the Jiang manor. I wonder what Sect Leader Wang thinks? ”
When Liu'er heard the name of the Purple Clouds Sect, she was shocked. ”Even people from the Purple Clouds Sect have come!”
Wang Jian had no choice but to say, ”Since Taoist Wu Chen has said so, I have nothing else to say.” However, since the heroes had come, they would not let the innocent die in vain! ”I will not allow these treacherous people to roam the martial arts world!” His words were extremely impassioned, and many people in the hall loudly echoed his words. No one cared about what he usually did.
The Daoist priest that had spoken was the Purple Void Sect's Wu Chenzi. The Purple Void Sect was the largest sect in the Martial Arts Forest, and Wu Chenzi was also the head disciple of the Sect Leader, Daoist Master Qingyu. This cultivator's martial arts cultivation and reputation were naturally much higher than Wang Jian's.
