Du Ziqi and the other guests, whether they were willing or not, all went down to the main hall. They saw dozens of people with thunder sword embroidered on their sleeves, some sitting and some standing, each with different emotions. Some had red eyes, some were crying loudly. Xu Longxiang was helped to sit on a chair at the side of the main hall, staring at each of the guests with a malicious expression.
Those who were qualified to enter were all Yuan Chen, and each of them was very strong. The one who screamed at the manager was one of the Yuan Chen, Luo Dalong, who was below Xu Longxiang. However, Xu Longxiang was especially unhappy because he knew he had made a fatal mistake: he did not order the manager to chase away the guests. This should have been done immediately. Now that this mistake was made up for by Luo Dalong, it greatly damaged his prestige. He had already developed a resentment towards Luo Dalong. The loss of prestige was fine, but he was not sure if any of the guests had heard anything. Moreover, he could not openly make them stay as it would arouse the suspicion of the Yuan Chen. It could be said that once the truth was exposed, he would be torn to pieces by the Yuan Chen. He was very clear about Lei Yan's position in the Thunder Division. Their loyalty to Lei Yan was no less than that of the Sect Master.
"Senior Xu, quickly make them leave. There is no need for outsiders to gossip about the internal affairs of the Court Of Sword!" Luo Dalong said beside Xu Longxiang.
This idiot!
Xu Longxiang secretly clenched his teeth. Even though he wanted to make them stay, he could not find an excuse not to arouse suspicion. Thus, he could only say, "First ask for their identities and register before letting them go!"
The guests were not stupid. They knew that something big had happened in the Court Of Sword. It was really a fluke that they were able to escape. Their anger disappeared immediately, and they cooperated with the registration in high spirits. When it was Du Ziqi's turn, she reported her identity. Xu Longxiang heard it and immediately became suspicious. "Du Ziqi, you are a disciple of the Lotus Sect. What are you doing in the Sword Province?"
Du Ziqi was shocked in her heart, and she calculated in her heart that if she were to tell the truth now, then how many people would believe her? But when she saw an expanse of ferocious gazes sweep over, her courage to risk everything was instantly extinguished, and she could only feign composure and laugh coldly. "When did the Sword Court unify the Immortal Dimension? Who are you to care where the disciples of the Lotus Sect go? "
Every lady on the Lotus Seat had an air of arrogance wherever they went. Those ferocious gazes softened a little. Presumably, the culprit was not this lady in front of them. Moreover, Du Ziqi was also a core disciple of the Lotus Sect. and if there was any conflict, it would likely lead to discord between the Confucian orthodoxy. They did not dare to be too presumptuous.
Luo Dalong. "Luo Dalong said," Miss Du, I am sorry. The post house and the ferry are temporarily closed. do not allow outsiders to enter.
"Hmph, I don't want to stay here." Du Ziqi turned her head and walked away. On the surface, he put on a disdainful expression, but in reality, his heart was in a mess. He was secretly praying to the deities of the universe that no accidents would happen.
Du, and, but Longing, he, he, Sect, and said. "But"., Dragon,.., and were.....
. "" What? "Du Ziqi had a fierce look on her face. In her heart, she was panicking.
Xu Longxiang had calmed down. Although Luo Dalong had stolen his limelight and damaged his reputation, the most important thing was that the "truth" had not been leaked. He tried to find a flaw in Du Ziqi's appearance, but he didn't have the ability to read minds, and he wasn't familiar with Du Ziqi, so he couldn't see through her. He called the manager and asked, "Which room does she live in?"
The manager replied, "Picking Sword Residence. It's next door."
Xu Longxiang's face changed. "Men, take her down!" He had been in the Thunder Division for so many years.
But, among the Yuan Chen in the class, there were some who did not doubt his orders. They took Du Ziqi down.
Du Ziqi said sternly, "What right do you have to take me down. If the Thunder Division causes a dispute between the Confucian orthodoxy, I want to see how you, the vice leader, can take responsibility!"
"What is Senior Brother Xu doing?" Luo Dalong frowned.
"Don't say more. Take her down and lock her up!" Xu Longxiang's face was dark.
"The Court Of Sword wants to harm a fellow disciple! The Court Of Sword wants to harm a fellow disciple! "Du Ziqi screamed as she was taken to the underground storeroom.
Luo Dalong said anxiously, "Senior Brother Xu, what you are doing is against the rules. You are detaining a disciple of another sect. If the Lotus Seat Sect Leader comes to question you, what will happen to the Sect Leader's face?"
"I will give you all an explanation after this! Xu Longxiang stood up with the support of his crutch. He shouted at Luo Dalong, "Isn't the most important thing now to seek justice for Senior Brother Lei?"
"Yes …" Luo Dalong was speechless.
"Revenge! We want revenge! "A few Yuan Chen who had cried shouted.
"Go, call the people on the ship to carry the corpse."
The sailors were called to carry the corpse. Close to twenty thousand sword cultivators surrounded the corpse with black umbrellas. Many Thunder Sect disciples could not help but cry, but their cries were covered by the heavy rain. Xu Longxiang forcefully pushed away the people who were holding the umbrella for him. He let the rain soak into his wounds and let his injuries relapse. He shouted bitterly, "Senior Brother Lei is dead. He died in the hands of Yan Li. I saw the whole process of him killing Senior Brother Lei with my own eyes! If it wasn't for my senior and junior brothers who used their lives to protect me, I wouldn't be standing here telling you the truth! " His one eye widened and he said sternly, "Now, please tell me, in the laws of the Court Of Sword, what is the punishment for killing a fellow disciple?"
"Hundred Swords Cutting Flesh, Thousand Swords Cutting Bone, Ten Thousand Swords Piercing Heart!" The emotional sword cultivators shouted loudly. Before they arrived, Xu Longxiang had already passed on the truth through the mouths of the Yuan Chen. Therefore, they did not show any surprise.
"Senior Brother Xu, give the order. We will immediately go down to the Lower Bound and capture that bastard Yan Li. We will execute him as a sacrifice to Senior Brother Lei's soul in heaven!"
Xu Longxiang pressed down with one hand to control the emotional crowd. "Listen to me. The Sect Leader is in seclusion, and Eldest Senior Brother is acting as the Sect Leader Deacon. What we should do now is to report the truth to Eldest Senior Brother and ask him to uphold justice for Senior Brother Lei! Now, follow me into the mountain. Don't ride on the sword. We will walk up step by step and let Eldest Senior Brother see our determination! "
"Into the mountain!" The Yuan Chen waved their hands. The mighty corpse carrying team advanced towards Pillar of Sky Mountain.
In contrast to this sudden gloom, Cangjian Peak had not seen everyone gather for a long time. It could be said to be a relatively lively night in recent years.
Outside, it was raining heavily, pitter-pattering on the frosted tiles. In the large dining hall, Cao Zigu, Cao Zijun, Lu Fengxin, Luo Fangshuo and his mother, Huang Chengyan and Su Xiaorong, the six of them sat around a round table. There were many plates on the table, filled with pork, cow, goat, and deer meat rolls. Vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, and lotus roots were all cut into thin slices. In the middle, there was a stove rack and a basin. In the basin, the red and spicy soup emitted a rich aroma that made one's mouth water.
Cao Zijun took a deep breath and said in an intoxicated manner, "Yes, yes, yes. There's star anise, five spices, garlic, pepper, and pepper. I can't tell what else is in it. I didn't expect that when these ingredients are mixed together, it would produce such an aroma. Little Fatty, what do you call this method of eating?"
Luo Fangshuo said proudly, "This is a method of eating that I researched from ancient books, long before the birth of the cultivation system. It's called 'Antique Soup'. In some places, people call it 'Hotpot'. Usually, seasonings are mixed together in a pot, then fresh ingredients are thrown in and cooked before eating. However, I was creative and mixed these seasonings first, adding special ingredients to make their taste smoother and truly integrated into one. "
"Oh!" Everyone exclaimed and gave him a thumbs up, which greatly satisfied Luo Fangshuo's vanity.
"Hotpot?" Lu Feng's fingers twitched and he swallowed his saliva, "It's very vivid. Brat, when can we start eating? "
"Right away!" Luo Fangshuo saw that the soup was boiling, so he immediately put the beef roll in and stirred it twice. Because the beef was cut very thin, it was cooked as soon as it entered the soup. He immediately picked it up and put it in Lu Feng's bowl. Lu Feng couldn't help but pick it up and eat it. First, it was scalding, then numb, spicy, bitter, astringent, and sweet. Although the beef was thin and tender, it was chewy. It was like a feast for the taste, and he almost swallowed his tongue.
Everyone looked at her expectantly, and she said as if intoxicated, "It's so delicious!" Hearing this, everyone started eating. Even Shuang Shuang, who was lying on Su Xiao Rong's lap, couldn't help but open her eyes. The Mighty Rooster Ah Bu, who was standing at the side, also came over, crowing and begging for food. Lu Feng loved it more than his own son, so he immediately cooked a plate full of meat and vegetables for Ah Bu, who was pecking at the food, seemed to be very happy.
Cao Zijun said, "I wonder what kind of breed Abu is, it can even eat meat."
"Who knew that the egg that Great Beauty Lu picked up by the roadside could actually hatch? But at that time, we all thought that it was a python's egg. It was as big as a washbasin, so we almost cooked it and ate it. Who knew that it would hatch into a chick in the end. Ah Bu finally lives up to his' egg size 'back then," Cao Zigu said while chewing on the meat slices.
Saying that you want to eat me in front of me, be a little more careful, brat! Abu whimpered in protest.
Huang Chengyan smiled, "If only junior apprentice-brother Yan and Little Xiaofu were here."
"Soon, he said that he would come back after arranging the affairs of Dragon Order City. By then, our Cangjian Peak will be bustling again. The spirit of the Peak Lord in heaven will be very happy!" Cao Zijun said, his eyes turning red.
Su Xiaorong ate the meat as fast as the others and said coldly, "Even if he comes back, he will be investigated."
"Elder Xiao Rong is too unreasonable …" Cao Zigu was halfway through his sentence when Su Xiaorong glanced at him casually. He choked on the food and coughed violently. He quickly ran outside to drink some water. As he was drinking, he saw the army carrying the corpses pass by the bamboo forest in silence.
"Huh, isn't that the Thunder Department? What are they doing?" He rolled his eyes and sneakily followed them. At the place where the crowd was densest, although it was tightly covered by umbrellas, he could vaguely see that there were stretchers with people lying on them. He didn't know if they were dead or alive. His expression changed slightly, and then he sneered, "Looks like someone was killed. The idiots of the Heavenly Sword Peak deserve it!" Even though he felt that something was wrong, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
He was about to go back and continue his fight with the food, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Something's not right. Could it be that something happened to senior apprentice-brother Lei?
Thinking of this, he no longer had the mood to eat and quickly chased after them.
