Moujiang is by the sea, but the development of Moujiang is not very strong, the crowd here is mixed, although not as chaotic as the initial flow of snakes, but not much better. It is only in recent years that the development of this area has increased and Moujiang has gradually taken off, although it is not as good as other coastal cities, it has a tendency to catch up.
Although the town of Qiaoyang belongs to Moujiang, it is already on the edge of Moujiang, and I say on the edge because Qiaoyang originally belonged to Moujiang. In fact, by real calculations, the town is nearly 200 miles away from Mangjiang. In addition to the inconvenient traffic in Xiyang Town, the town has no other advantages except for some old buildings, and gradually Xiyang Town has been excluded from the construction of Mangjiang.
At this moment, in the large ancestral hall in the old buildings at the edge of Xiyang Town, a short man suddenly stood up and said angrily, “Wang Lengfa, are you going to leave us all here if we don’t agree to your request?”
“Gu Yanghe, what do you mean by that? Both the Huludao Valley and the Nine Bright Schools have been destroyed, and my Nanshan Wang Family is considered the third major sect of the Hidden Sect. For this matter, my Wang family has gone out of its way to expose itself and take the lead, just to preserve my lineage of the Hidden Sect, otherwise if this continues, the survival of my Hidden Sect is in jeopardy.” A slim man in his fifties snorted coldly and immediately stepped forward to retort and chide…
“Then who does Sect Master Wang think has attacked my Hidden Sect, wiping out so many sects one after another with such bloody methods?” A middle-aged woman raised her voice and said.
Wang Lengfa said without haste, “I think we all know very well who wiped out Hulu Valley back then. It was Ye Mo of Luo Yue City, and later on Ye Mo had the Point Cang Sect seal the mountain. Now that my Hidden Sect is once again repeating what happened back then, do we still need to guess?”
The middle-aged woman also snorted coldly and said, “Sect Master Wang, I think it was more that Ye Mo killed your brother and left no one behind at the foot of Broken Peak Mountain against your Southern Mountain Wang Family that made Sect Master Wang so angry at Ye Mo.”
Wang Lengfa suddenly said in a stern voice, “That’s right, that Ye Mo and my Wang family have a deep-seated grudge, how could I let it go? Plus, this fang is now so heartless that he wants to exterminate my lineage of the Hidden Sect. It is even more incumbent on me, the Wang Family, to stand up.”
The skinny Gu Yang and Ye Mo were close to each other. He had admired Ye Mo when he was at the Hidden Sect Grand Competition back then. Now, after hearing Wang Lengfa’s words, he then helped Ye Mo once again and said, “Sect Master Wang, I was there for what happened back then, so I’ll put aside who was right and who was wrong for now. Ye Mo went to the small world from the teleportation array, this matter is known to everyone, Sect Master Wang forced himself to say that this time it was Ye Mo who did it. Could it be because of the hatred between the Southern Mountain Wang Family and Ye Mo?”
Wang Lengfa immediately chided at Gu Yanghe’s words, “Did you see Ye Mo go to the Small World with your own eyes? I know that Ye Mo was kind to you back then, and it’s fine if you want to favor Ye Mo, but please don’t joke about the fate of my Hidden Sect, you can’t afford to joke about that. Besides, apart from Ye Mo, who else has such ability. In just a few months, he could exterminate so many fellow members of the Hidden Sect?”
“Oh, then what do you mean, Sect Master Wang?” A middle-aged man who only looked to be in his thirties or forties stood out and asked in a cold voice.
Wang Lengfa glanced at the middle-aged man who spoke before he said in a stern voice, “Many of the Hidden Sects went to Luo Yue City under Ye Mo’s compulsion, and now the Hidden Sects that are still left behind have suffered such a poisonous hand, what I mean is that our Hidden Sects should unite and deal with Ye Mo. Including the hidden sects that went to Luo Yue, we should also unite.”
“Deal with Ye Mo?” The middle-aged man who had just spoken sneered disdainfully and said, “Ye Mo represents Luo Yue City. Although Luo Yue is a city. But it is more powerful than some countries, as far as we can say to deal with Ye Mo. Even against Luo Yue? You are really broad-minded, Sect Master Wang.”
Wang Lengfa said with the same cold smile, “Of course not with us alone, we can also join forces with others. Now that a large number of experts from the Hidden Sect have left this place through the formation in the Hengduan Mountain Range and gone to the Small World, we can say that we have gathered more than 90% of the experts from the entire Hidden Sect here. It’s not like we want to deal with the entire Luo Yue City, Ye Mo represents Luo Yue, that was before, now Luo Yue City is a mín zhǔ city. I just need to be able to give the Hidden Sect a foothold and a place to stand. Ye Mo wiped out so many of my Hidden Sect, is it not possible for us to ask Luo Yue for a piece of foothold?”
The middle-aged man who spoke did not fear Wang Lengfa in the slightest and said equally loudly, “Wang Lengfa, don’t treat all the people like fools. Don’t think that everyone doesn’t know that the Hongwu Hall, the Point Cang Sect, and the Nine Brightness School are all hidden sects that you, Nanshan, destroyed. If Senior Ye was still in Luo Yue, would you dare call to deal with Ye Mo? If seniors like Wang Qi Jian and Zeng Zhen Man and even Vice Sect Master Feng were around, you would dare to be so arrogant?”
Wang Lengfa wiped his waist and a soft sword had already appeared in his hand, he held the soft sword and pointed it at the middle-aged man who had spoken and shouted, “Zhang Hua, back then in the Hidden Sect Competition Ye Mo saved your life, and you don’t distinguish between good and evil and dare to slander my Nanshan Wang Family. Even if my Nanshan Wang Family was more powerful, would it be able to exterminate such great sects as the Point Cang Sect and the Nine Brightness School? Today, I, Wang, would like to learn from the high ranking people of Guang Yao Temple.”
The middle-aged man named Zhang Hua did not hesitate to draw the thin sword on his back as well, not looking at Wang Lengfa in the slightest. Instead, his mouth said, “When the Transverse Teleportation Formation was opened, your Southern Mountain Wang Family was still sealing off the mountain, so of course you could retain your strength. While high ranking people such as Sect Master Wang Qi Jian and Sect Master Zeng Zhen Man had already gone to the Small World. It is normal for the strength of the Jiu Ming Academy to drop, plus Wang Lengfa you colluded with those men in grey, don’t think that everyone else is blind.”
After saying that, Zhang Hua flicked the thin sword in his hand and said aloud, “Fellow practitioners, I think we all have a score in our hearts, the South Mountain Wang Family has colluded with foreigners and plotted against the resources of my Hidden Sect, and also tried to compel us to deal with Luo Yue City. Is Luo Yue City something that can be dealt with? I think we all understand that the Nanshan Wang Family is just asking us to send us to our deaths. Although I still don’t understand why they are doing this, if we don’t come to our senses, sooner or later we will also be swallowed to the bone by the Wang Family.”
“Fellow Daoist Zhang Hua, these people are dressed in grey and are just the secular forces of the Southern Mountain Wang Family, so what evidence do you have to say that they are deviants? And also colluding with the Wang Family?” At this moment an old man stepped forward and asked.
“It turns out to be Sect Master Yu Tao of the Yi Jian Sect, Sect Master Yu has been cultivating hard for the Yi Jian Sect, so it is normal that he does not know about this matter. Wang Lengfa colluded with the people in grey but someone had already noticed it, even senior Wudao also knew a thing or two about it because ……”
Before Zhang Hua had finished speaking, an early earth level martial artist stepped forward and said, “That’s right, when a friend of the Jiu Ming Academy escaped, he saw that the killers were all men in grey. Before I received Wang Lengfa’s letter, I didn’t know that the South Mountain Wang Family was colluding with the men in grey. But as soon as I saw these men in grey, I knew that we were trapped.”
After saying that, that Earth-ranked martial artist stood outside and said, “Now it seems that not only are they colluding, but they are also not afraid of being exposed at all, otherwise they would not have openly let these men in grey out. Sect Master Wang, I’m afraid that in the end, if everyone doesn’t agree with your joint opinion, it will really be the same as what Gu Yang and senior said, that there is no way to get away already.”
To all the people’s surprise, Wang Lengfa, who was still incredibly angry, said with a cold smile, “You are right, all those who disagree with me will disappear. I, Wang Lengfa, have already done my best for the sake of the Hidden Sect, if you want to seek death, don’t blame me for being ungracious.”
After saying that, Wang Lengfa actually put away his soft sword and took a step back, and just as Wang Lengfa stepped back, the two grey-silhouetted men beside him suddenly lifted the weapons in their hands, followed by two light sounds.
The two dark lights were so swift and incomparable that the eye could not even see them, let alone block them. When an ancient martial arts practitioner reached the Xuan level, he or she could block the bullets of an ordinary pistol. And when a martial artist reaches the Earth level, he or she can even avoid the bullets of some top-cla*s pistols.
But the speed of these two lights was more than several times faster than the bullets, and the martial practitioners inside the ancestral hall had no way to see the trajectory of the shadow before it had already reached the foreheads of Zhang Hua and that other early Earth-rank martial practitioner.
Zhang Hua, who had been alert, did not hesitate to lift the thin blade in his hand and shake it, and with a ‘clang’, a black line was knocked away by Zhang Hua with the sound of gold and iron. And such a small black shadow also caused Zhang Hua to take a step backwards.
“Pfft” at the same time an arrow of blood spurted out, the other martial artist at the early earth level was not as lucky as Zhang Hua, and the black shadow went straight through his forehead, bringing up an arrow of blood from the back of his head.
The ancient martial arts practitioners invited by the Nanshan Wang Family inside the ancestral hall were all dumbfounded, many of them knew the man who had been killed, a martial artist at the early stage of the earth level, but he had been killed by a pistol-like object, in less than half a second.
At this moment, even some ancient martial arts practitioners who did not understand the truth understood that what Zhang Hua said was actually true. And it was also true that the Nanshan Wang Family had asked them all here with the intention of coming hard.
There were 50 to 60 people in grey inside, plus 20 to 30 people from the Nanshan Wang Family, making a total of 70 to 80 people, and it went without saying that there must be an ambush outside.
If these 70 to 80 people were all ancient martial arts practitioners, it would be fine. But the kind of weapons these people had were simply not something that ordinary ancient martial arts practitioners could resist.
Even an early Earth-level martial artist was casually killed, and Zhang Hua, who was at the late Earth-level, could only barely hold off. This is still when one is on guard, once one is not on guard, even Zhang Hua would not be able to stop it, who would dare to fight with such strength? No wonder Wang Lengfa was not afraid that the crowd would not give in.
However, Wang Lengfa once again sneered and said, “Those who are willing to join hands with my Nanshan Wang Family to deal with Luo Yue Ye Mo together, come on my side, those who are not willing, please.”
Everyone understood what Wang Lengfa meant by this word please, that was to let everyone out. This going out was clearly a situation of death without life.
A few martial artists had already hesitantly walked towards Wang Lengfa’s side, and as these people pa*sed, more and more people began to waver. In this situation right now, going against Wang Lengfa, the chance of being killed was more than 90 percent.
Zhang Hua suddenly laughed and said, “I, Zhang Hua, will not go along with your Nanshan Wang family, what can you do?”
