The night gradually darkened, but the excitement and clamor of Tianmaji had just begun. The brothels and casinos that were usually bustling after nightfall were particularly deserted on this moonless and starless night. But Qingyun Street, where the Clouds Returning Building was located at the west end of the town, was brightly lit. A large number of Jianghu people gathered on the long street. There were people everywhere from the street to the end of the alley. Even in the alleys between the buildings, there were pairs of malicious eyes staring at the Clouds Returning Building.
"Where on earth did Wang Yan find so many people? Why does it feel like the Clouds Returning Building is going to be swallowed alive in just one afternoon? "
Inside the Cloud Returning Pavilion, the two disciples of the Cold Moon Sect's Elder Yun stood by the window of one of the private rooms on the third floor. Looking at the dense crowd of people on the street, the young disciple dressed in blue and white robes appeared very worried. He really did not expect Wang Yan to move so quickly. He had only made a statement at noon, but he had already made such a big commotion at night. It was as if the Cloud Returning Pavilion was already under his control.
"These people may not have been recruited by Wang Yan. It's just that this guy has a very good grasp of the thoughts of the bandits in the South River Valley."
The middle-aged man with a mustache sighed and could not help but shake his head.
In fact, Wang Yan did only find Li Jiuhong, Lin Tianyang, and the master in the Yunzi Stage with half an iron mask. But the problem was that his actions were seen by those who were observant, so they knew that he must be planning something big. In addition, he had made a statement in Yunya Restaurant, and the rat thieves under Rat King had intentionally or unintentionally spread rumors. In just one afternoon, people in Tianmaji and even the entire South River Valley knew that Wang Yan was going to make a move against the Clouds Returning Building. Moreover, the South River Valley had never been short of people who liked to watch the show, fish in troubled waters, or even loot a burning house. So, there was such a scene in front of the Clouds Returning Building at night.
If these hundreds of bandits and outlaws gathered together on a normal day, the Black Knife Gang, Green Skin Society, and Nanhe Association would naturally join forces to suppress them. These people would not be able to do anything. But now, with Wang Yan's name in front of them, Nanhe Association tacitly did not show up, the Black Knife Gang had just been subdued, and the Green Skin Society was powerless to do anything. Not to mention that the real leaders of the Green Skin Society were these two. And the middle-aged man with a mustache had just said at noon that they should not act rashly for the time being. In this way, the situation of the Clouds Returning Building became more and more dangerous.
"Bastard, this guy clearly said at noon in Yunya Restaurant that he would take Qi Xiangshan's life before noon tomorrow and take down the Clouds Returning Building within three days. He made people think that he was still waiting to see the situation, waiting for us and the Black water thief's reaction. I never thought that he would turn around and plot against the Clouds Returning Building. This kind of person even treats his own words as farts. It's really hateful! "
The young man dressed in blue and white black clothes stomped his feet and cursed. He was angry that Wang Yan did not act according to what he had said, and even more angry that he really believed what Wang Yan had said. He was played around like a fool, to the extent that when faced with the current situation, he fell into an absolute passive position because he did not make sufficient preparations in advance.
The middle-aged man with a mustache was rather calm. He only said lightly, "This is not strange. Only heroes keep their promises and never go back on their words. But heroes often end up in tragedy in this Jianghu that is full of deceit and deception, ending in failure. Jin Wuyan is a living example.
And Wang Yan is obviously not such a person. This person has the ambition of a wolf. This time, he has the intention of a snake swallowing a whale. With just these methods, he already has the disposition of an ambitious and ruthless person. We can only blame ourselves for underestimating this person previously. "
Hearing his senior's words, the young man was somewhat at a loss. He said, "Then what should we do now?"
"There's no rush."
The middle-aged man with a mustache was more or less able to keep his composure. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and said, "Although these people are lawless, none of them are stupid. They all understand that the key to this matter is Wang Yan, so if Wang Yan does not appear, they will not act rashly."
"Then where is Wang Yan right now?"
The young man hurriedly asked, but the middle-aged man with a mustache shook his head. If it was said that he still had the confidence to compete with Wang Yan and have the last laugh in this ever-changing Tianmaji, but now, he could not understand Wang Yan at all. He was unable to guess what Wang Yan was going to do next, and even more so, he could not guess where Wang Yan was right now.
.....
Under the pitch-black night, Wang Yan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on a mound. This place was called Mourning Wind Mound, about thirty miles away from Tianmaji. It was also the only way to return to Tianmaji from Liufeng Town. After nightfall, Wang Yan quietly left Tianmaji alone and went straight to this place. Perhaps in the entire Tianmaji, only the Rat King had guessed Wang Yan's thoughts, otherwise Wang Yan would not have promised him such a heavy reward.
When he first came to Tianmaji, Wang Yan really did not think too much. He just wanted to stir up trouble for the Black water thief and focus the Black water thief's revenge on him, thus giving Bai Moli a relatively stable environment, allowing Xiao Douzi and Linghu Wan to escape easily. But with Gan Xiumei's invitation, he took the initiative by using Gan Xiumei to cross the river, and then took advantage of the situation to bring out the great Buddha, Aojian Hanyue. After completely suppressing Li Tianxing, the situation had completely changed, and Wang Yan's heart was also changing.
Wang Yan was not a person without ambition. Since he was awakened, he swore that 'I don't want to live without doing anything, and I don't want to die without a name'. Being in Jianghu, he naturally pursued fame and fortune. For people in Jianghu, fame and fortune were often closely related to strength. Not to mention other things, if Wang Yan had the reputation he had today, Chen Wenyuan would not have dared to attack him so easily, and Shan Bo would not have dared to massacre the village at the foot of the mountain in front of him. Unfortunately, there were no 'if's. It was because Shan Bo and Chen Wenyuan became his stepping stones that he could have such an encounter.
Gan Xiumei's invitation had triggered the current situation, and Wang Yan had used his own tricks to build a stage for him to put on a show. Therefore, his ambition grew. What that mustache middle-aged man had said was right. Wang Yan did have the idea of a snake swallowing a whale. He wanted to make all the promises he had made to Gan Xiumei come true, so that he could take advantage of the big fat pig that was Yunma School. However, what really made him decide to cut the Gordian knot and end the Tianmaji thing as soon as possible was still because of what the lady boss had said.
Of course, Wang Yan knew about the Peerless City. He also knew that the current young city master of the Peerless City, Yan Wushuang, was an extremely powerful warrior who was ranked in the top fifty of the Hidden Dragon Ranking. A person like that might not be afraid of Aojian Hanyue, not to mention that Aojian Hanyue himself had not arrived yet. Therefore, Wang Yan wanted to end the Tianmaji thing before the Peerless City got involved. Then, he would move to a relatively safe place to continue fighting with the Black Water thief, in case that crazy Yan Wushuang would really attack him secretly.
And in order to end the Tianmaji thing, the first step that Wang Yan had to take was to kill Chen Tianliang, the leader of the Black Knife Gang, who had rushed back from Liufeng Town after receiving the news during the day. This news was originally leaked to Wang Yan by the broker when he saw that Wang Yan was generous. But now, Wang Yan had taken it as his first chance to win.
Chen Tianliang, a Cultivating Embryo Stage expert who was good at using dual blades. Although he did not have a title, he had an extremely strong foundation, which was far beyond the likes of the Hundred Faces Ghost and Shan Bo …
Information about Chen Tianliang flowed through Wang Yan's mind one by one. And this time, besides dealing with Chen Tianliang, Wang Yan had to deal with at least two people, which were Chen Tianliang's left and right guardians.
There were three great guardians under the leader of the Black Knife Gang. Except for the head guardian Li Tianxing, the left and right guardians were basically inseparable from Chen Tianliang. The left guardian, Yan Qingshan, was good at external martial arts, which was hard to be injured by ordinary blades and swords. The right guardian, Zuo Daosi, was very good at using a pair of iron strokes and silver hooks. Both of them were Cultivating Embryo Stage experts. Although they were not as strong as Chen Tianliang, they were at least a bit stronger than Shan Bo.
Wang Yan could be said to be extremely bold to rob and kill three people by himself, but he did it. People in Jianghu were like rowing a boat against the current. For people like Wang Yan, who had neither background nor outstanding talent, if he wanted to move forward step by step, he needed to seize every opportunity, and sometimes he even needed to risk his life for it. Wang Yan knew this very well, and he did not want to miss this opportunity that he had created by himself, so he had to do this.
