Compared to the commotion caused by the arrival of Sun Zixuan, He Qingfeng, and Shen Linfeng, the crowd was much quieter when Shangguan Tong arrived. Many of them remained silent as they looked at Shanghai Tong, Zheng Yu, and the rest with a strange expression on their faces.
This was because the incident yesterday had spread throughout the entire Red Rock City. Everyone knew that Governor Shangguan Chen had protected the 'murderer' Xiao Fan, while Wang Guiyi, Liu Zhiguang, and the He family had 'compromised' and the Sun family had treated them coldly. Countless undercurrents were surging in Red Rock City.
As for Shangguan Chen and Shangguan Tong, who were at the center of the undercurrent, many people were already looking down on them. Some people were sneering secretly, waiting to see whether Shangguan Chen and Shangguan Tong would die or not. Therefore, when they saw Shangguan Tong, no one said anything. The whole scene was strangely quiet.
However, Shanghai Tong was not in the mood to care about the situation. She immediately turned her Black Dragon Horse around and walked toward the Bright Moon Pavilion. Zheng Yu, on the other hand, glared at everyone in the scene before he led his guards to his resting place without saying a word.
As soon as Shanghai Tong, Zheng Yu, and the rest left, the scene resumed its heated discussion.
"I have to say that Wang Guiyi, Liu Zhiguang, and the He family are really smart. They're roasting Shangguan Chen on the fire!"
"That's right. Now, Wang Guiyi, Liu Zhiguang, and the He family are the victims. Shangguan Chen is harboring the murderer. If he doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid he won't be able to let it go, right?"
"Of course not. If Shangguan Chen doesn't stand up and say something today, let alone those who are not in his camp, I'm afraid even those who were originally in his camp won't be able to accept it!"
"Heh, let's watch the show!"
"Speaking of which, where did Xiao Fan go?"
"I heard that he's hiding in the Governor's Mansion and doesn't dare to come out!"
"That's true. Although he can flaunt his strength in the Windward Formation Guild, if he leaves the guild, I wonder how he'll die!"
"Although a formation master is incomparably honorable, this world is ultimately a world where cultivators have the final say. No matter how rare a formation master is or how strong their abilities are, if a cultivator puts a knife to your neck and uses your family and friends to threaten you, wouldn't you still obediently submit? Do whatever you're told? Be as obedient as a dog? "
"You can't say that. There are still powerful Formation Masters whose combat strength is comparable to cultivators. otherwise, how do you think the Windward Formation Guild and Night Formation Guild are on equal footing with the Water Cloud Saint Land?
"That's right. Red Rock City is too small. Although there are some things that we haven't seen, we can't jump to conclusions so easily. Otherwise, people will laugh at us for being frogs at the bottom of a well!"
"Alright!"
.....
At the Bright Moon Pavilion!
Before Shangguan Tong arrived, Sun Zixuan, He Qingfeng, and Shen Linfeng were leisurely drinking tea while laughing and chatting.
They were one of the predetermined successors of the various forces in Red Rock City in the future and were also the most likely successors. Before they replaced their respective elders in power, their goals and interests were the same.
Therefore, they automatically used the resources that they currently had to help each other to stabilize their positions and fight against other powerful competitors in their respective families, forming a temporary community of interests.
However, even though they were allies, there were still conflicts. However, because they were still in the honeymoon period, even if there were conflicts, they were suppressed and could only be fully revealed in the future!
"I would like to meet that Xiao Fan and see how strong his Formation Skills are." Zhou Cheng narrowed his eyes and sneered.
"Although I'm not a Formation Master, according to the people present, since that Xiao Fan could silently control the Burning Sky Formation of the Windward Formation Guild and easily break the Lightning Rush Spell, it is enough to prove that his Formation Skills are not to be underestimated!" Wang Tong knocked on the chair's armrest and said with a faint smile.
"However, from the current evidence, his Formation Skills are probably unmatched in Red Rock City!" Sun Zixuan said coldly.
"Unmatched? Brother Sun, you're exaggerating! " He Qingfeng chuckled, then shook his head and said, "On that day, Brother Zhou's master, Li Guang Zheng, the president of the Linfeng Formation Guild, wasn't there. The three elders weren't there, and even the nine Golden Guards weren't there. It could be said that all the true Formation Masters of the Linfeng Formation Guild weren't there. The only ones left were a group of half-baked Formation Masters who were in charge of managing the guild!"
"That Xiao Fan could silently control all the Formations of the Windward Formation Guild right under their noses. There is nothing strange about that."
"Although he is indeed extraordinary, it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that his Formation Skills are unmatched in our Red Rock City!"
"What about the Rolling Thunder Incantation?" Shen Linfeng raised his lips and asked with a faintly discernible smile.
"Other than the Lightning Rush Spell, the Burning Sky Spell, and the Reversal Spell, there is also the most mysterious Wind Shadow Spell in the Windward Formation Guild. It is not impossible for Xiao Fan to use it to counter the Lightning Rush Spell!" He Qingfeng chuckled.
"The control of the Wind Shadow Spell is in the hands of my master. It is impossible for outsiders to use it. Furthermore, we have checked it and there are no traces of Xiao Fan controlling the Wind Shadow Spell!" Zhou Cheng shook his head and said.
Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, the rest of the people glanced at He Qingfeng with a hint of mockery in their eyes.
"It seems that I was talking nonsense!" He Qingfeng was not embarrassed by the rest of the people's mockery. Instead, he smiled faintly and admitted his mistake.
"Brother He, what you said is basically correct. I have contacted my master and the three elders and they all agreed with you. As for the method to counter the Lightning Rush Spell, we suspect that Xiao Fan may have the Thunder Swallowing Stone!" Zhou Cheng said softly.
"Thunder Swallowing Stone?" The rest of the people raised their eyebrows and looked confused.
"The Thunder Swallowing Stone is a mysterious stone that is formed after being struck by lightning in the sky. It can absorb lightning and turn it into invisible attacks!" Zhou Cheng explained, "Although the Thunder Rush Incantation is powerful, if it meets the Thunder Swallowing Stone, it is basically useless!
"Currently, the Thunder Swallowing Stone is the most common and most effective method to counter the Lightning Formation. However, it is very rare. Since you don't study Formation Skills, you naturally wouldn't know about it!"
"I see!" He Qingfeng, Sun Zixuan, and the rest nodded in understanding.
"I know about the Thunder Swallowing Stone, and I also know that it is not only rare, but also a one-time item. It is basically useless after it is used up!" Han Dongxue, who had been silent, shook his head disdainfully and said, "Yesterday, Xiao Fan had the Thunder Swallowing Stone, and the real Formation Masters of the Windfront Formation Guild were not there. Under such unexpected conditions, Xiao Fan was able to suppress everyone by himself!"
"So if that's the case, this Xiao Fan doesn't have anything worth praising!"
"He is not worth worrying about!" Sun Zixuan said with a sneer.
"It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that he's nothing to worry about, because he should more or less have some ability. At the very least, he's stronger than the vice president and the others. Among our younger generation, his array formation level is actually considered top-notch!" In response to Sun Zixuan's words, Zhou Cheng shook his head, then narrowed his eyes and said in a serious voice, "So, I really want to see how good his Formation Skills are."
"He is now holed up in the City Lord's Mansion. If he doesn't come out, no one can do anything!" Wang Tong took a sip of tea and said with his hands spread out.
"I heard that Shangguan Tong seems to be a little interested in Xiao Fan!" Shen Linfeng suddenly said with a chuckle.
"I heard, and I also heard that Shangguan Tong has always been very protective of Xiao Fan. From the moment they met, there was something wrong!" Wang Tong said with a smile.
"Oh? Why is that? Could it be that Shangguan Tong fell in love with Xiao Fan at first sight? "Zhou Cheng asked curiously.
"That can't be. I heard that Shangguan Tong admires Demon Emperor Xiao Fan very much. And that Xiao Fan and Demon Emperor Xiao Fan have the same name, so Shangguan Tong has a very good impression of Xiao Fan when they met! "He Qingfeng said with a chuckle.
"Everyone knows that Demon Emperor Xiao Fan is dead. This Xiao Fan and Demon Emperor just have the same name. Moreover, how big is the Central imperial realm? There are many people named Xiao Fan. I don't know what is wrong with Shangguan Tong to fall in love with this Xiao Fan who just has the same name? "Wang Tong shook his head and said with a smile.
"She's just being coquettish!" Han Dongxue suddenly sneered and said with a sharp voice.
The others immediately looked at Han Dongxue, but Han Dongxue's expression was extremely gloomy. Her beautiful face was filled with disgust for Shangguan Tong.
Han Dongxue and Shangguan Tong were called the Twin Sisters of Red Rock City by some busybodies, the two great goddesses. However, the two goddesses did not get along well with each other, and the conflict between them had been building up for a long time!
The specific reason probably came from when they were still in the Water Cloud Holy Land. Now that the two of them were in the same small city and stood on different sides, the conflict between them was naturally even more intense.
"Demon Emperor Xiao Fan? What is that? Only a lowly woman like Shangguan Tong would admire him. Bah! "Han Dongxue sneered sharply.
Sun Zixuan, He Wenqing, Shen Linfeng, and the others did not speak because they knew Han Dongxue's temperament. They knew that under Han Dongxue's beautiful appearance, there was a soul that was not very kind. Especially when Han Dongxue was angry, it was best not to interrupt. Who knew if this temperamental woman would unreasonably vent her anger on you just because you said something that might be flattering?
However, at this moment!
"Han Dongxue, you crazy woman, I dare you to say another word!" Shangguan Tong's angry voice suddenly sounded behind everyone. (End)
