The expressions of the Qinghai Sect's disciples changed dramatically as if they had heard the most terrifying thing. They all took a few steps back and stared at the two with fear written all over their faces.
Yue Lingshan curiously asked, "Father, who exactly are these two people? Why did those people from the Qinghai Sect look so arrogant just now, but now they look like they have seen a ghost?"
Yue Buqun's face was also pale. He murmured, "It is said that there is an Island of Chivalry in the vast South Sea. Every thirty years, they will send two messengers, Zhang San and Li Si, to the Central Plains to invite the sect leaders of the various sects to the Island of Chivalry to drink Laba Porridge."
Note: The original Island of Chivalry would send people to the Central Plains every ten years. Because this novel is a combination of fourteen novels, the timeline has been adjusted to once every thirty years.
"It's just porridge. Since they invited us, we can just go and drink it." Yue Lingshan was even more puzzled. Most of the people in the restaurant nodded. After all, they were still young and had not experienced the bloodshed of thirty years ago.
Yue Buqun smiled bitterly. "But thirty years have passed, and none of the sect leaders who went to the Island of Chivalry came back alive. They were the top masters of the Jianghu at that time. Among them was the abbot of Shaolin, Master Miaodi, and the abbot of Wudang's Baiyun Monastery, Daoist Yu Cha. Their martial arts were not inferior to the abbot of Shaolin and the abbot of Wudang."
Yue Lingshan was also frightened. She murmured, "Then why don't we just not go?"
Yue Buqun seemed to remember something terrible.
"Thirty years ago, all the heads who didn't go were either brutally killed, or their sects were removed from Jianghu. At that time, the head of the Qingcheng Sect, Daoist Xu Shan, was unrivaled in Jianghu with his internal energy. He was a top-notch master in Jianghu, but he was killed by the two envoys in one move. Back then, the two envoys were still young. From then on, no one dared to go against them."
"Then why haven't I heard of any of the seniors of the Huashan Sect being invited to the Huashan Sect?" Yue Lingshan suddenly remembered and asked in confusion.
"At the time, our sects of energy and the sword sects were locked in a fierce battle. Neither of us could do anything to the other, and the position of sect leader was left vacant. Perhaps that's why we were able to avoid disaster." Yue Buqun groaned inwardly. What was going on? Ever since he became the Sect Master of Mount Hua, Zuo Leng Chan had been eyeing him covetously from the outside, and the Sword Sect had ulterior motives. There was even an enemy spy among the disciples. The slightest carelessness could lead to the destruction of the sect, and now, the Isle of Heroes had gotten involved.
"Sect Master Yue is truly knowledgeable. I am Zhang San." The stout and fat official said with a smile.
"Li Si." The other black-clothed man's tone was cold.
"Sect Leader Yue, please forgive me. Allow me to first discuss this with these people of the Azure Sea Sect," Zhang San turned his head to look at the three people of the White Board Fiend Star, "Among the three of you, who is the current Sect Leader of the Azure Sea Sect?"
Bo Tai snorted, "My Qinghai Sect has never had a lot of people, there are only a few people in a sect, how can there be a Sect Leader?"
Zhang San took out an account book and flipped through it. He nodded and said, "Sure enough, Lao Si, what do you think we should do in this situation?"
"Three, together." Li Si's words were very concise, as if he didn't want to waste his breath.
"Look at this brain of mine, I just can't wrap my head around it," Zhang San slapped his forehead and looked at the three people with a smile, "If that's the case, then please accept the Good Punishment Order."
As soon as he finished speaking, his left hand shook, and several black objects simultaneously flew out from his sleeve. With a 'pa' sound, they fell side by side in front of the three people. They were three bronze plates, and they were neatly embedded into the stone slab on the ground. They were perfectly aligned with the ground, as if they had been inlaid with fine craftsmanship. Each plate was engraved with a smiling face, just like Zhang San's smile.
When Yue Buqun saw this from afar, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. The internal energy of Mount Hua's Qi Sect had always been praised by the martial world, but even though he had cultivated the Purple Cloud Divine Art to this level, he could at most slap the bronze plate into a wooden board. It was impossible for him to hit a hard stone floor, let alone lift something so heavy as if it was light.
The three people of the Qinghai Sect also looked at each other in dismay. They knew that the opponent's internal energy was far higher than theirs, but if they were to willingly go to the Isle of Heroes, it would be a waste of their decades of reputation.
"What if we don't accept?" The White Slate Fiend Lao Ai smiled. Thirty years ago, he didn't personally see the Good Punishment Order, the Evil Emissary, in action, so he wasn't too sure of their martial arts. He had roamed the underworld for decades, so he naturally understood that a person's internal energy didn't necessarily mean that their overall strength was high. He thought that with the three of them combined, they might not lose to the two of them.
"Accept, live; don't accept, die." Li Si's voice didn't contain the slightest emotion, and everyone who heard it couldn't help but feel a chill in their stomachs.
"Then this old man would like to give it a try." The White Slate Fiend Lao Ai grinned, and his body pounced towards Zhang San like a roc.
Bo Tai and Hao Mi seemed to have a telepathic connection, and simultaneously used their lifetime's worth of martial arts to attack Zhang San. They clearly understood that as long as they could take care of one of them by surprise, the other would naturally not be a problem.
"Seeing that I'm smiling so kindly, you think I'm easy to bully?" The fat on Zhang San's chubby face trembled, and his figure flashed, and he appeared next to the three people.
Hao Mi didn't even have time to react before her shoulder was grabbed by the opponent, and she suddenly felt all the strength in her body disappear without a trace. She didn't even have time to panic before her entire body was lifted up by the opponent and thrown towards the White Slate Fiend Lao Ai in midair.
The White Slate Fiend Lao Ai hastily withdrew his attack, but Hao Mi was like a cannonball, and he felt as if his chest had been struck by a hammer. He couldn't catch his breath, and both of them fell to the ground from midair, looking extremely embarrassed for a moment.
However, after this torment, Zhang San was no longer able to block Bo Tai's attack. He saw Bo Tai use the power of the tenth layer of One Finger Zen, and in the blink of an eye, he had hit several of Zhang San's major acupuncture points.
However, he didn't show the slightest bit of joy, because he felt as if he had hit a block of wood, and all his strength had no effect. Just as he was about to retreat, it was already too late, and Zhang San's other hand had already grabbed his arm.
A sharp pain came from his hand, and Bo Tai wailed in his heart: I can't keep my arm …
Fortunately, Hao Mi promptly said, "Be lenient, we'll take it."
Only then did Zhang San let go, and with a slight smile said, "That's more like it."
Everyone saw him lift his leg as he spoke, and the next moment he appeared in front of the Hua Mountain group's table. "What does Sect Master Yue think?"
Yue Buqun was startled by his movement technique, and hastily replied, "Since the two esteemed envoys have invited me with great hospitality, I will definitely attend the banquet on time."
The Azure Sea group's three people secretly cursed him for being shameless, he was obviously being coerced, and yet he still spoke in such a dignified manner. Just now, the three of them had lost without knowing why, and originally wanted to take advantage of the time when the two of them were exchanging blows, but who knew that Yue Buqun's bones were so soft.
Zhang San gave a thumbs up, and said, "Many thanks to Sect Master Yue, we two brothers didn't have to return empty-handed."
Seeing that it was about time, Li Si went straight to Li Mochou, and said, "Scarlet Serpent Deity, Li Mochou, because of love, she destroyed the entire Lu family, and in the following years, she wantonly massacred people with the surname He in Jianghu. She deserves to be executed!"
