C81 (1/2)
In the two days that they were in Embroidery City, Lu Tuan's group of four stayed in the hotel to have a good rest. Lee Xun brought Qin Qing and out for a stroll and bought some clothes. During this period of time, he had also heard a piece of news, which was that the brocade that the Jin Clan was shipping had been plundered consecutively, and the Dongting Sword Sect had also sent reinforcements.
Two days later, Lee Xun and the others arrived at a slender ravine and discovered that something was amiss.
”Big brother, what a strong smell of blood.” Zixing said as she wrinkled her nose. Spiritual Beast were different from Demonic Beast. Spiritual Beast ate Spiritual Treasure, so even if they did not eat anything, they could still rely on the absorption of nature's spirit energy for survival. Of course, he would never let go of a human's delicacy, but he was extremely disgusted by the smell of blood.
Lee Xun also sensed that there were a lot of people fighting at the end of the canyon, it was just that the canyon was very long and it was not straight, so he could not see them. This was not the first time they encountered this. There were many countries in the Sword Soul Continent, and even more powers. In this world where strength reigned supreme, robbing was not a new matter.
”Let's go slowly. Don't get too close. There are at least a hundred people fighting.”
Hearing Lee Xun's instructions, everyone stopped spurring their horses to gallop forward. It was not because Lee Xun and the others were cold-blooded, but because they were unfamiliar with this place.
As they got closer, they noticed that there were quite a few people fighting. There were at least a hundred people lying on the ground. At the same time, there were also three groups of people standing beside Lee Xun. Two of them were small caravans, while the other group consisted of five young people, all of them with the strength of the fifth stage.
Lee Xun recognized that the group of people he met in the group battle was at the Bao Yu Restaurant. Furthermore, towards the two people from the small caravan, they actually did not choose to dodge when faced with a robbery and continued to stay. Walking up to an old man in the caravan, he cupped his hands and asked, ”Old sir, I wonder who is fighting in front, why didn't you guys dodge?”
”Hehe, young man, you finally asked the right person. The two groups of people in front had huge backgrounds. One group had Dongting Sword Sect, while the other had Eastern Ocean Dou Family. A month ago, Dou Family of the East Sea had clearly stated that they wanted to fight with Dongting Sword Sect over the control of brocade business in Jinjin City. This kind of fight had already happened quite a few times, and it was likely that there were still two other families fighting on the other roads. Naturally, they also don't think much of us small fry. ” The old man was clearly gloating.
The Dou Family and the super Sword Sect were actually at loggerheads, it was obvious that they had someone backing them, and their hands seemed to be extended far too far, the Protective Gear business in Jin Family, the Sword Sect in the south, and the struggles between nations, there were all shadows of the Dou Family. What exactly did they want to do, could they not be afraid of being attacked so openly like this? Lee Xun was really unable to understand.
Lee Xun went back to recount the old man's words.
”Senior Brother, let's go help Dongting Sword Sect then.” Lu Tuan said, and Wang Ping and the other two nodded. If they could help at this time, it might be of some help to them when they go to the Dongting Sword Sect in the future.
”If you guys want to die, then go ahead. Look carefully at all these people, even though most of them are at the seventh stage, there are still quite a few at the eighth stage of the Tenth Rank. Let's just take a look first.” Lee Xun's words woke the four of them up. They weren't afraid of a one-on-one fight, but with so many people fighting in a melee, it was hard to say.
A quarter of an hour later, the cries of eagles came from the direction of the valley entrance. The people from Dongting Sword Sect were immediately enlivened, as if they were the ones who had come to help. The people from the Dou Family who had originally held the upper hand immediately reacted, retreating from the canyon with the injured. On the other hand, there were less than thirty people left standing on the Dongting Sword Sect and many of them were lying on the ground moaning.
In less than two minutes, more than thirty people had rushed over and gathered with the people from Dongting Sword Sect. Seeing the end of the battle, the three groups of people who were watching also left towards the mouth of the valley.
Lee Xun and the rest did not want to wait any longer, since the reinforcements had arrived, there was nothing left for them to do, they all mounted their horses and prepared to leave. However, someone from the Dongting Sword Sect stopped them in their tracks, ”You guys, I am Le Heng from Dongting Sword Sect, where are you friends from?”
”We are from Tianshan Sword Sect.” Lu Tuan replied. Normally, he would do these kinds of things.
Le Heng immediately revealed a joyous expression, he had originally wanted to try his luck and find a helper, the first three groups did not catch his eyes, but Lee Xun and the rest were different, Lu Tuan and the other three were actually ninth stage experts, and said: So it's a friend from Tianshan Sword Sect, do you guys recognize Lee Xun?
Lu Tuan and the others all looked at Lee Xun, who revealed a puzzled expression. Listening to Le Heng's words, he meant that Le Heng recognised him, but why didn't remember him?
”This one is Lee Xun, I wonder how you know me?”
”Haha, it really is fate. I don't know you, but my junior sisters do know you. A while ago, they passed by Jinyi City and told me about your achievements.” Le Heng laughed even more.
Lee Xun only smiled, but did not know what to say.
”Lee Xun, I know you and Junior Sister Shang Rongrong from my sect are engaged, so naturally you can count me as half a person. Now that we have encountered some difficulties, you must help us.”
