Nie Renlong was actually someone who followed the rules of the pugilistic world. It was precisely because he liked to scheme that he followed the rules.
People who didn't follow the rules usually didn't need to scheme. Just like Chenqing Di, if he was unhappy with something, he could just throw a punch.
This time, the people from the morgue had crossed the line. Logically speaking, he should be the one to hand them over and punish them, but this time, he couldn't.
Previously, Nie Renlong told Nie Dongliu not to make a big deal out of this. The morgue alliance was still very fragile. If something went wrong, it would fall apart.
Nie Renlong knew very well why this group of people joined the Righteous Manor.
After the alliance stabilized, Nie Renlong could do whatever he wanted to them. By then, they wouldn't be able to leave the morgue alliance.
But now, no matter how big a mistake they made, Nie Renlong had to protect them.
At this moment, Bai Hantian saw Nie Renlong's expression and recalled what Chu Xiu had said before. The smile on Bai Hantian's face gradually disappeared. He coldly said, "Why, Manor Lord Nie doesn't intend to hand them over? You don't intend to give an explanation to my Drifting Snow City?"
Hearing Bai Hantian address him as Manor Lord Nie instead of Brother Nie, Nie Renlong hurriedly said, "Brother Bai, that's not what I meant. This is just a misunderstanding. They are all members of my Alliance. If I were to hand them over now, where would the prestige of the Alliance go? So, my morgue is willing to compensate you in other ways. As long as Brother Bai is satisfied, it's fine. "
Bai Hantian coldly snorted and said, "Your morgue wants prestige, but my Drifting Snow City doesn't? Cut the crap, I don't want anything else from your morgue. I only want those people who acted recklessly. Are you going to hand them over or not? "
Nie Renlong frowned. Based on his understanding of Bai Hantian, he shouldn't be so overbearing.
But now, Nie Renlong could only be a little more forceful and said, "Brother Bai, it's not that I don't want to hand them over, but I can't. How about this, after I'm done here, I will personally bring the items to your Drifting Snow City to apologize. What do you think? "
On the other side, Bai Hantian was also frowning. The more Nie Renlong refused to hand over the man, the more suspicious he became.
Based on Nie Renlong's personality, he should not have refused such a request. But now, Nie Renlong's attitude was unyielding. This was clearly not in line with Nie Renlong's usual style. This made Bai Hantian suspicious. Could it be that the morgue was really going to make a move against the Northern Lands?
Bai Hantian snorted coldly and said, "Good, good, good. Villa Master Nie is indeed loyal. However, even if you are loyal to the members of your Loyalty Villa Alliance, the Northern Fluttering Snow City must also be responsible for the martial arts forces of the Northern Lands. This matter is not over!"
After saying that, Bai Hantian's body moved and in an instant, he had already leaped out of the loft, disappearing into the snowstorm.
Nie Renlong sighed, "I wonder what kind of medicine Bai Hantian ate. His attitude is actually so impulsive. This time around, we have offended the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North."
Nie Dongliu said in a deep voice, "Then father, should we be more vigilant against the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North?"
Nie Renlong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. For such a small matter, the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North will not take action. We are not attacking the disciples of the Driftsnow City. But looking at Bai Hantian's attitude, I am afraid he will come looking for trouble. It is better to be more careful than not. "
Nie Dongliu nodded, but he still felt that something was not right.
It should be said that after the people of Qilian Stockade retreated, he felt that something was wrong. It was as if someone was manipulating everything. It was a very strange feeling, and Nie Dongliu could not find any evidence.
This was only his own feeling. Under the premise that there was no evidence, Nie Dongliu did not dare to speak recklessly. Now, Nie Dongliu could only hope that his feeling was wrong, that he had been too busy recently and that it was an illusion.
After returning to the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North, Bai Hantian's face was gloomy.
Bai Wuji saw that Bai Hantian's expression was a little strange. He hurriedly asked, "Father, is the morgue village not willing to hand over the person?"
Bai Hantian nodded and said, "That demonic brat was right. The morgue's attitude is a little strange. Even if the morgue doesn't want to attack the Northern Lands this time, I'm afraid they have other plans."
Bai Wuji heard this and said coldly, "Then father, what are you waiting for? If people don't offend us, we won't offend them. Since the morgue village dares to cause trouble in our Northern Lands, then I, the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North, will let them see who is the king of the Northern Lands! "
A force that has been rooted in a land for a long time, this in itself represented a kind of foundation and strength.
The full name of the Driftsnow City was Driftsnow City. The reason why the outside world called it the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North was because of the foundation that the Driftsnow City had been rooted in the Northern Lands for thousands of years.
The Driftsnow City represented the Northern Lands, and the Northern Lands represented the Driftsnow City.
Therefore, forces like the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North were very sensitive to their own territory. You can come if you want, but you have to inform them beforehand. If you break the rules and cross the line, the enmity between the two sides would be formed.
Bai Hantian said solemnly, "Don't be in a hurry. Go find that kid from the Hidden Devil Clan. I want to see what he wants to cooperate with us. Also, Wuji, can you be a little calmer? After being in seclusion for such a long time, haven't you tempered your temperament? "
Bai Wuji lowered his head and didn't speak. Previously, after being injured by Shen Bai's sword, Bai Wuji's character was less arrogant, but he was more radical in handling matters.
Just like this time, if Bai Wuji was in charge of this matter, and the morgue village dared to provoke the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North, he could just directly take action.
Perhaps Shen Bai's sword strike had left a very deep impression on him. Now, Bai Wuji's way of doing things was very simple and direct, he loved to use strength to solve all problems.
Chu Xiu did not go far, but stayed directly outside the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North.
When he saw Bai Hantian again, Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Seems like City Lord Bai, you still haven't gotten the person. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here again."
Bai Hantian stared at Chu Xiu, his eyes emitting a blue glow. He said slowly, "I didn't get the person, but why do I feel that something is wrong? The ones who benefit in the end are the people from your Qilian Stockade. Are you the one who instigated this? "
As the City Lord of the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North, Bai Hantian was certainly not an idiot.
Although he had no evidence, from Bai Hantian's point of view, the ones who would benefit in the end would definitely be the people from Qilian Stockade.
It was originally a battle between the morgue village and the Qilian Stockade, but in the end, the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North was the innocent party involved. Bai Hantian felt that something was amiss.
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "City Lord Bai, I'm not the one who instigated this. Even if I denied it, you wouldn't believe me. Even if you insist on it, you have no evidence. But look at the morgue village's route of action and you'll know. The morgue village wants to expand, not to the west or south, but to the north. They say that their target is only the Qilian Stockade, and that they only want to kill the remaining bandits. Do you believe that? "
Bai Hantian remained silent.
He and Nie Renlong had known each other for more than twenty years. He knew very well that the owner of the morgue village, Nie, was a person who would not do anything unless it was for his own benefit.
Everything he did was either for his own benefit or for his reputation. The morgue village would not be so kind as to help the imperial court eradicate the remaining bandits.
Chu Xiu continued, "So, even if you, City Lord Bai, chose not to do anything in this matter and chose to bear with it, once the morgue village has completely stabilized its power in Liaodong and become neighbors with the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North, can you guarantee that there won't be any conflicts? How can you allow others to snore next to your bed! The Great Light Temple can be neighbors with the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North because the difference between the two is huge. But the difference between the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North and the morgue village is not that huge! "
Chu Xiu's previous provocation and threats did not move the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North. But his words, "how can you allow others to snore next to your bed", made Bai Hantian's heart tremble.
In the past, the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North was in a very comfortable geographical location.
As the neighbor of the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North, the Great Light Temple's power was too strong. It was so strong that it was not on the same level as the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North. It was impossible for the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North to feel threatened.
Although the Extreme Evil Sect of the Northern Plains was a demonic sect, they kept a very low profile and did not have any conflicts with the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North.
The Liaodong County in the east did not have any forces that could make a move. The Qilian Stockade could only be considered half of it. The bandits' foundation was too shallow and could not be considered a force at all.
So all these years, the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North had never worried about any external problems.
But if the Congregation Manor became neighbors with the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North, Nie Renlong was not the kind of person who would submit to others. When the time came, the result of the conflict between the two sides could be imagined.
Chu Xiu looked at Bai Hantian and said faintly, "City Lord Bai, I have a habit. I always like to nip danger in the bud. It's simple and saves effort. Sometimes, I would rather kill the wrong person than let the wrong person go! I think this is a very good habit. What do you think, City Lord Bai? "
Bai Hantian was silent for a moment and finally said, "I want to meet with Pang Hu."
There was no expression on Chu Xiu's masked face. But under the mask, a smile appeared on Chu Xiu's face. "Of course."
Even if Chu Xiu represented the Hidden Devil Clan, he was still a martial artist at the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm. Bai Hantian would not be at ease to discuss such an important matter with Chu Xiu. Only Pang Hu had the right to speak to him on equal terms.
Now that Bai Hantian was ready to meet with Pang Hu, it proved that the matter had been settled.
Although the two of them had agreed to meet in the north, it was not in the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North. Pang Hu did not trust Bai Hantian.
But when Bai Hantian and Pang Hu met again, both of them sighed.
Who would have thought that the two of them, who had fought to the death in the past, would one day join forces?
