Duan Yan was the governor of Fengjian City and Zhou He was the commander-in-chief of Fengjian City. They were both high and mighty figures, but in the eyes of Shi Dong and Mu Qing, they were nothing. Shi Dong and Mu He stared at the two of them coldly. A powerful aura spread out, causing the soldiers outside the Martial Mansion to tremble.
An expert at the peak of the Divine Vein Realm was no joke!
"Elders, please calm down. We didn't mean to offend you." Duan Yan got off his horse and said, "I received news that a disciple called Lin Tian from the Nine Yang Martial Mansion killed three Divine Pulse Realm generals in Fengjian City. I believe the two of you should understand the severity of this matter."
Duan Yan's cultivation wasn't weak. He was at the seventh level of the Divine Vein Realm. However, he was slightly weaker than Shi Dong and Mu Qing. Although he was the City Lord, in terms of status, Shi Dong and Mu Qing weren't any lower than him. In fact, in some sense, they were even higher. Therefore, Duan Yan didn't get angry at Shi Dong's reprimand and appeared to be very calm.
Seeing Duan Yan get off his horse, Zhou He also got off his horse and stood quietly at the side.
Shi Dong and Mu Qing looked at Zhou He coldly.
"City Lord Duan, have you asked your subordinates why such a thing happened today?"
Mu Qing asked.
Duan Yan was slightly puzzled and asked, "Elder Mu, what do you mean?"
Shi Dong's temper wasn't as good as Mu Qing's. He snorted and said, "Why? Ask him yourself!"
Duan Yan was even more puzzled. He tilted his head and asked, "Zhou He, what's going on?"
"Governor, I don't know what Elder Shi and Elder Mu mean."
Zhou He shook his head.
Shi Dong stared at Zhou He and said coldly, "Zhou He, put away your tricks. Do you think we don't know what's going on today? You should be glad that we didn't come to find trouble with you! How dare you gather your troops at the gate of the Martial Mansion? Do you think the Nine Yang Martial Mansion is a decoration? "
The news of Lin Tian killing Chen Ping and the other two had spread throughout Fengjian City. Shi Dong and Mu Qing naturally knew about it. Moreover, the two of them had personally asked Sushu about the details of the entire incident. As Elders of the Martial House, not only were their cultivations powerful, they were also extremely experienced. How could they not see through this scheme?
Something like this happened right after Zhou Hao died. No matter how one looked at it, there was a big problem.
"Something fishy? I have no idea what you're talking about! " Zhou He continued, "Today, three soldiers were ordered to deliver a letter of challenge to me, but they were stopped by your Martial House disciple, Lin Tian. The three soldiers only scolded him a little before they were beaten up. Chen Ping and the other two happened to be passing by, and after they scolded him a little, they were killed on the street …"
"Nonsense!" A voice rang out. Sushu stood out from behind Mu Qing and glared at Zhou He, "It was clearly those three soldiers who deliberately urged their horses to crash into us. Later, because the horses were inexplicably frightened, they were thrown off their horses. Because of this, those three wanted to capture us. Lin Tian only made a move out of self-defense."
"Coincidentally, just as this happened, three Generals led their troops over as if they had calculated the time beforehand. What's worse is that these three Generals didn't even ask about it and immediately ordered to suppress us! Hmph, this is obviously some people with ulterior motives, deliberately trying to harm others! " At this point, Sushu changed the topic and said, "Oh right, Commander Zhou, not long ago, in a fair deathmatch, your son, Zhou Hao, died at the hands of Lin Tian. Today's matter couldn't be a scheme of yours, right?"
As soon as Sushu finished speaking, the expressions of many people in the surroundings changed, and all of them had strange expressions.
"The Commander's son was killed in a deathmatch?!"
"There's actually such a thing?"
"This …"
"Now that you mention it, it's indeed a bit strange. It's too much of a coincidence."
"That's true, but there's no evidence. It's just a guess."
Many people were talking about it.
In the distance, Xin Yao and Pushi stood among the ordinary people, slightly surprised.
"This little brother Lin Tian is really bold. Before this, he actually killed the Commander's son."
Pushi smiled bitterly.
Xin Yao's eyes lit up. "This guy is really interesting!"
In the other direction, cold sweat broke out on Qin Luo's forehead. She really didn't expect that Lin Tian would actually kill the Commander's son!
Duan Yan frowned and looked at Sushu. "This is?"
"My disciple."
Mu Qing said.
With that, Mu Qing pulled Sushu behind him.
Duan Yan nodded. "So it's Elder Mu's disciple." With that, Duan Yan tilted his head and looked at Zhou He. "What the hell is going on? Is what this girl said true? "
"City Lord, I'm a soldier! Naturally, I have the honor of a soldier! " Zhou He's expression was painful, but he straightened his chest. "As a father, I do want to take revenge for my son's death. But as the girl said, Hao 'er was killed in a fair battle of life and death. Although I hate it, I can only endure it! I swear on the honor of the Imperial City that today's matter has nothing to do with me. Otherwise, I'll die a horrible death! "
Zhou He's words were sonorous and powerful. Coupled with his painful expression, many people fell silent.
After Zhou He's words, three people walked out of the thousands of soldiers behind him.
"These three people are?"
Duan Yan frowned.
The three soldiers knelt down on one knee. "Reporting to the City Lord, the three of us are the people who delivered the letter for the Commander."
"Oh? Tell me what happened. "
"Yes!" The three of them gave their orders. One of them said, "Yesterday, the three of us were ordered to go to the Commander's Residence in Luo Yue City to get a letter for Commander Zhou. We traveled through the night and finally arrived at Supervisor Feng City this morning. However, on the way to the Commander's Residence, we were stopped by a young man in the middle of the road. He startled our horses and caused us to fall off the backs of our horses …"
"It's fine for us to fall off the horses, but the key point is that the letter was destroyed. City Lord, you know how important the letter is. The three of us were furious at that time and subconsciously shouted a few words. We didn't expect that person to really fight. That person is a genius of the Martial House, the three of us were naturally not his match … "
"Coincidentally, at this time, Chen Ping and the other two generals, who often patrol the streets, passed by here. They wanted to seek justice for the three of us, but who would have thought that that person was so arrogant and strong that he actually killed the three generals." At this point, the three of them shed tears and shouted, "City Lord! Lord Commander! Please avenge the three generals! "
Hearing this, the surrounding people were moved.
"This …"
Many people couldn't help but frown.
Sushu was furious. She pointed at the three of them and said, "You're lying! Twisting the truth! "
"Every word of the three of us is true. If there's a single lie, may the heavens and earth destroy us!"
The three of them said harshly.
At this time, Zhou He stepped forward and looked at Shi Dong and Mu Qing. He said, "I know that Lin Tian is the most brilliant genius of your Martial House this year, but so what? Could it be that just because he was a rare genius, he could do whatever he wanted? Can he kill people as he pleases? Impossible! " As he spoke, Zhou He clenched his fists tightly. His face was filled with pain. "Chen Ping and the other two generals are not only my subordinates and friends, but also soldiers of the Empire who retired from the battlefield. They can't die like this! The culprit must be severely punished! "
"Severely punish the culprit!"
"Severely punish the culprit!"
"Severely punish the culprit!"
Following Zhou Hao's words, all the soldiers behind him began to shout in unison.
With over a thousand soldiers gathered together and roaring like this, the momentum was truly somewhat terrifying.
Looking at this scene, many of the onlookers were moved.
In the distance, Pushi and Xin Yao stood together. Xin Yao couldn't help but frown.
"This Zhou He has some prestige, and his mind is clear. He knows that the strength of a few people isn't enough to negotiate with the Nine Yang Martial House. Therefore, he gathered all the soldiers here. At this moment, thousands of soldiers are shouting together, demanding the Nine Yang Martial House to hand over the culprit. Even the elders of the Martial House will be in a difficult position. "
Pushi said.
"What a cunning old fox!"
Xin Yao snorted.
The soldiers roared with great momentum. Each wave was louder than the last. It was shocking.
Shi Dong and Mu Qing stared at Zhou Hao with sullen faces. They said coldly, "You gathered people to threaten us?!"
"I don't dare." Zhou He said, "Everyone in Fengjian City knows about the Martial House's status. Even if I had more guts, I wouldn't dare to threaten the two elders. However, the Empire's generals can't be killed for nothing. If I don't punish the culprit because of the Martial House's status, wouldn't I disappoint the thousands of soldiers? " At this point, Zhou He cupped his fists and bowed forty-five degrees. "Therefore, if I may be so bold, I ask the two elders to hand over the culprit!"
"Elder, please hand over the culprit!"
"Elder, please hand over the culprit!"
"Elder, please hand over the culprit!"
The soldiers bowed like Zhou He and shouted in unison again.
Especially the three people who claimed to be the messengers. They shouted the loudest.
Shi Dong and Mu Qing's faces were ugly. They could reprimand Zhou He, and they couldn't be polite to City Lord Duan Yan. However, they were helpless against thousands of soldiers.
Duan Yan frowned. "Stop!" Duan Yan was the City Lord of Fengjian City. With this shout, the thousands of soldiers stopped. After that, Duan Yan looked at Mu Qing and Shi Dong. "Elders, these soldiers are the subordinates of the three generals. I hope the two elders can understand their feelings. Let's not talk about punishing the culprit for now. Can you let that Lin Tian come out and say a few words? There shouldn't be any problems, right? "
To be able to sit in the position of the City Lord, Duan Yan was naturally not a simple-minded person. When he heard the word "fishy" from Shi Dong's mouth and heard Su Shu's words, his heart was slightly suspicious. Zhou He's report was not false. Chen Ping and the other two were indeed killed by Lin Tian. However, Duan Yan was very clear about Shi Dong and Mu Qing's character. Since Shi Dong said the word "fishy", coupled with Sushu's words, there might be more to it than meets the eye. After thinking about it, Duan Yan decided to make a choice. He would let Lin Tian come out and make a decision after that.
Shi Dong frowned. He wanted to say something, but Mu Qing pulled him back.
"Sushu, call Lin Tian over."
Mu Qing said.
Since Duan Yan had already taken a step back, if they continued to refuse, wouldn't it seem like they had a guilty conscience?
Sushu coldly snorted and glared at Zhou He. Then, she ran towards Lin Tian's residence.
Zhou He's eyes flashed with a sinister light. Lin Tiansha had indeed killed Chen Ping and the other two. Even if Shi Dong and the others guessed that there was something fishy about today's matter, so what? As long as he stubbornly refused to admit it, what could these people do? The commander of Luo Yue City was his good friend for many years. The three soldiers kneeling in front of him would definitely not offend him for a Martial House disciple. They would definitely stand on his side. Even if Shi Dong and the others wanted to investigate, there was nothing they could do. As such, as long as he called Lin Tian out, with the help of thousands of soldiers, the Martial House would not have to worry about not handing over the culprit!
…
Within the Martial House, Lin Tian walked out of his residence and headed towards the Martial Pavilion. His Divine Pulse Realm cultivation had completely stabilized. He had also finished cultivating the remaining 30% of the Azure Thunder Sword Art. He was prepared to go to the Martial Pavilion to choose an inferior Divine Pulse Realm martial technique.
"Speaking of which, the highest level martial technique in the Nine Yang Martial House is the inferior Divine Pulse martial technique."
Lin Tian muttered to himself.
Thinking about it, Lin Tian's eyes flashed. After a while, the Nine Yang Martial House would not be able to satisfy him. If he wanted to walk further on the martial path, he would have to go to a higher place.
"Imperial City, Northern Flame Imperial Courtyard."
Lin Tian murmured.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian shook his head. The most important thing now was to increase his strength. After all, according to Luo Xiao, entering the Northern Flame Imperial Courtyard was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
"Lin Tian."
A voice sounded from the front. Sushu ran towards him.
