Following the voice of the receptionist, a short and fat man in a cyan robe strode toward the manor with a long sword in his hand.
This short and fat man's appearance was really impressive. His round head, which was as big as a watermelon, had no hair at all. His eyes were so small that they looked like slits, and his ears were so big that they looked like they were protruding from the wind. The only thing that was normal was his nose, but it was indescribably weird to have a hooked nose on such a face. In addition, he had a silver carp mouth. Looking at this short and fat man, there was only one word left in the minds of the Jianghu people — extremely ugly.
And this strange looking short and fat man was naturally Zhang Xiaobao, Master Po, who had taken care of Wang Yan in the Aojian Villa!
After not seeing each other for a year, Master Po was still as elegant as before. Once he entered the Five Sounds Manor, he didn't have the demeanor of a master at all. He cupped his hands and walked forward, not caring whether they knew each other or not. At the same time, he bowed to the Jianghu people on both sides from time to time and said, "Nice to meet you."
Master Po was still smooth and slick, but the Jianghu people present didn't seem to fall for it. Most of them looked at him with strange expressions and ignored his greetings. Even if a few people cupped their hands to return his greetings, it was just a pretense. There was no sincerity in their eyes.
Master Po didn't feel strange seeing this. He knew that his life now was not good. Although the Jianghu people gave him the title of "Sky Flipping Sword," it wasn't a title he earned with his own strength. It was just a joke. Sky Flipping Sword was also called Sky Flipping Seal, which was a slang in the Underworld. It usually referred to the act of betraying the master. Using the title of Sky Flipping Sword meant that Zhang Xiaobao was a person who had betrayed his sect.
However, Master Po had no other choice. When he saw the situation in the outer gate war, he and others robbed the Sword Scripture Pavilion and fled. He couldn't stay in the Nanyue State anymore and finally escaped to the Beisheng State. However, because of his betrayal of his sect, he was also disliked by others. Although he exchanged the stolen manuals for a lot of resources and broke through to the Nurturing Embryo Stage, the Sword Scripture Pavilion was just a place for the outer gate. Its cultivation methods weren't good, so his strength was limited after breaking through to the Nurturing Embryo Stage. Besides, no sect was willing to accept him. Master Po's life was very difficult.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaobao was also wondering if he should go to Dong Hua to look for other opportunities. He didn't expect that before he could make a decision, he would hear news about Wang Yan. Zhang Xiaobao, who felt that this was an opportunity, couldn't help but announce that he and Wang Yan were old acquaintances and that they had a good relationship when they were in the Aojian Villa. As expected, after this news spread, he received an invitation from Old Villa Master Zhu of the Five Sounds Village a few days ago. Therefore, he traveled day and night to attend this "King Slaying Conference."
Master Po had always been thick-skinned. He didn't care that he wasn't welcomed. He walked straight to Zhu Wuyin and bowed. He said, "Greetings, Old Villa Master Zhu."
Zhu Wuyin was very enthusiastic. He helped Zhang Xiaobao up and said, "Young Hero Zhang, you don't have to be so polite. Please take a seat."
As he spoke, Zhu Wuyin gestured with his hand and saw that there was an empty armchair on the far right side. Zhang Xiaobao looked at the person sitting with him and immediately felt flattered. He didn't expect that at this moment, 'Rushing Thunder Hand' Lei Yuangang said, "Old Villa Master Zhu, we came to attend this' King Slaying Conference 'because of you. If you want me to sit with this person who betrayed the sect, I, Lei, will not accompany you."
Before he finished speaking, Lei Yuangang immediately stood up. Zhu Wuyin's expression changed. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaobao was a smart person. He couldn't help but say, "Hero Lei is right. I can just stand."
Zhang Xiaobao immediately turned around and walked a few steps back with his head lowered. However, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes. After retreating for seven or eight meters, Zhang Xiaobao turned back to Old Villa Master Zhu and said, "I will just stand here."
When Zhu Wuyin saw this, he nodded and showed some gratitude in his eyes. He then stood up and said, "It is my honor to have so many young talents gathered in my Five Music Villa. There is only one reason for everyone to gather here, and that is for the madman of Aojian Villa, Wang Yan."
Zhu Wuyin's words could be considered as the prelude to the King Slaying Conference. There were no flowers or applause. Everyone was looking at Zhu Wuyin. They only wanted to know the rules of this' King Slaying Conference '. After all, everyone in the world came for benefits. Even if Zhu Wuyin took the lead, if there were no benefits, why would these people come? After all, there was only one Wang Yan's head. It could only be exchanged for the reward offered by one sect.
However, Zhu Wuyin was not in a hurry. He continued, "This Wang Yan is really hateful. When he was in the tower, he ignored Master Tianxing's words just because he was younger and had a lower realm. As soon as he entered our southern territory, he first robbed the escort team of Danyuan Escort Agency, then he plundered Shanlan Town and killed countless people. There is nothing he wouldn't do …"
Listening to Zhu Wuyin's words, Zhang Xiaobao couldn't help but twitch his mouth. He felt that this old man was really old-fashioned. Before he killed someone, he always had to find a reason and make this' King Slaying Conference 'sound justifiable. However, who didn't know the actual situation? If it was said that Wang Yan robbed the escort team, Zhang Xiaobao would be the first to not believe it. In that kind of environment, Wang Yan would have to be out of his mind to rob an escort team that was escorting ore and cloth. Even if he really did rob them, where would he get rid of them?
Zhu Wuyin talked non-stop. He was just short of listing out the top ten crimes of Wang Yan, making him look like a typical criminal. In the end, the old man angrily said, "This Wang Yan really regarded us, the people of Jianghu in the southern part of the Northern Victory Region as nothing. If he wanted to rob something, he would rob it. If he wanted to kill people, he would kill them. He has turned the surrounding area of Golden City into a mess. Seeing this, this old man felt very distressed. Therefore, I took the initiative to hold this' King Slaying Conference '.
However, that Wang Yan is, after all, a junior. This old man still hopes that you, the younger generation, can solve this matter on your own and return a bright future to our southern martial arts world. "
"What Old Manor Master Zhu said is correct."
"That Wang Yan is heinous beyond redemption. He should be hacked into pieces."
"Kill Wang Yan, kill Wang Yan, kill Wang Yan!"
...
As soon as Zhu Wuyin finished speaking, there was a sound of agreement from the training field. However, overall, it was not too enthusiastic. Most of the people who agreed were NPCs, while the players basically just looked at Zhu Wuyin. Because everyone knew that Zhu Wuyin didn't get to the point. How should the benefits be distributed? After all, with such a big battle array, they couldn't just let a certain person benefit, right?
Zhu Wuyin was a shrewd man. When he saw the situation, he naturally knew what these people were thinking. He could not help but say, "Although this old man can't personally take action because of my identity, to return a bright future to our southern martial arts world, I'm willing to use all my wealth to help everyone."
As he spoke, Zhu Wuyin clapped his hands. A few burly men in the hall carried out three large chests that were as tall as a person. When they placed the chests in front of the main hall, Zhu Wuyin opened the chests one by one. He saw that the first chest contained hundreds of silver ingots neatly stacked together. The second chest contained some jewelry and other goods. The third chest contained more than ten secret manuals and more than ten swords. These swords and sabers all looked extraordinary. Even if they were not famous swords or sabers, they were still fine or even top-grade weapons.
"This time, as long as we can kill that madman Wang Yan, all participants can receive a reward from me based on their contributions. It can be as small as a silver ingot, or as large as the secret manuals I've gathered. I, Zhu Wuyin, will definitely not mistreat everyone."
With that, the atmosphere became lively. No one cared why Zhu Wuyin was so passionate about this matter. He was actually willing to spend all his wealth to kill Wang Yan. Most of the people present, regardless of whether they were NPCs or players, cupped their fists and said, "We're willing to listen to Manor Master Zhu's orders."
When Zhu Wuyin saw this, he waved his hand and said, "I won't embarrass myself. As for how to plan this matter, let's listen to Miss Nangong and Miss Zhuge."
After saying this, Zhu Wuyin leisurely sat back on his armchair. Nangong Yuqing and Zhuge Chan, these two women who were famous for their intelligence, could not help but look at each other. Even though one of them was an NPC and the other was a player, their gazes clearly showed that they wanted to use this matter to compare their strengths.
However, before the two of them could speak, Li Daohai said, "What else is there to plan? With so many of us here, do you think we're afraid of that Wang Yan? Of course we'll just go and find him and kill him. "
"That's not true."
Nangong Yuqing smiled and shook her head. She then stood up and said, "Brother Li, I only have one question. If that Wang Yan is an Inhuman like you and sees that we're too strong to fight, he leaves this world and doesn't show up for half a month, what should we do then?"
Even though Nangong Yuqing was an NPC, she clearly had a good understanding of Inhumans. As soon as she said this, Zhu Wuyin could not help but nod in approval. Li Daohai, on the other hand, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, not a single word came out. Instead, his face became as red as a monkey's butt.
On the side, Zhang Xiaobao saw this scene and found it funny. He could not help but agree, "Miss Zhuge's words make sense. That Wang Yan is as cunning as a ghost."
As soon as Zhang Xiaobao spoke, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him. Many of them already knew that he was friends with Wang Yan, and Zhu Wuyin's intention of asking him to come was obvious. However, Zhuge Chan looked at Zhang Xiaobao with a burning gaze and said, "Is that Wang Yan really an Inhuman?"
"Of course he is!"
Zhang Xiaobao's answer was resolute, but only he knew what he was thinking. Zhuge Chan laughed coldly and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if Wang Yan is an Inhuman or not. As long as we make the arrangements and block him outside of Chaoyuan Town, then use the people of the other towns to weave a big net and suppress his movement space bit by bit. In the end, we'll surround him and he won't be able to escape."
Nangong Yuqing nodded and said, "Yes, it doesn't matter if Wang Yan is an Inhuman or not. Even an Inhuman needs to eat and drink, and the south is mostly hilly and desolate, so it's hard to find food. That's why Wang Yan took the risk to break into the town twice to rob the restaurants. So, we just need to guard the water source and use the towns as bait. He will show up sooner or later."
"Just this alone is too passive. We can …"
As Zhuge Chan spoke, she took out a map from her pocket and unfolded it. Then, the two girls pointed in front of the map, sometimes arguing, sometimes coming to a consensus. Not long after, the two girls came up with a plan that they felt was appropriate and assigned tasks to everyone present. With the support of Zhu Wuyin, no one had any objections. In the end, Nangong Yuqing said to 'Fire Phoenix' Rao Yu, "I'll have to trouble you to stay in Chaoyuan Town and not let that scoundrel Wang Yan pass, okay?"
