CHAPTER 2147: CHAPTER 2147
The coming of a storm
The Hidden Cloud Sect was founded by the sect's founder, Xu Dongsheng, 1300 years ago. At that time, Xu Dongsheng was a Xiantian expert. In the Kingdom of Tian Long, he was ranked in the top five. Therefore, the Hidden Cloud Sect was unparalleled. No other sect in the Sishui Commandery could compete with it.
However, as Xu Dongsheng's lifespan came to an end, the Hidden Cloud Sect became weaker with each generation. In this generation, the Sect Master, Xu Dingtian, had been reduced to a Second Order True Element Boundary martial artist. In the Sishui County, there were several forces that could compete with the Hidden Cloud Sect, but a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would deliberately provoke the Hidden Cloud Sect.
When Xu Wen carried the corpses of the two Hidden Cloud Sect elders back to the sect, it instantly caused a huge uproar in the Hidden Cloud Sect!
Someone actually dared to make a move against an Elder of the Hidden Cloud Sect? Could it be that those sects wanted to start a war with the Hidden Cloud Sect?
Thinking of this, many of the Hidden Cloud Sect's martial artists were shocked and angered. The lower level martial artists were shocked because they were afraid of death. The higher level martial artists were enraged because they relied on the Hidden Cloud Sect to strengthen themselves. If someone dared to attack the Hidden Cloud Sect, that was the same as taking away their rice bowls. They had to ruthlessly strike back in order to deter these thieves!
"How did the black and white elders die?"
Xu Dingtian sat in the host's seat and indifferently looked at the two corpses on the ground. To his left and right sat the Hidden Cloud Sect's Grand Elder and Second Elder. Both of them were True Element Realm experts, but they were one realm lower than Xu Dingtian.
Besides these two people, there were also eight other Elder level existences sitting in the Sovereign Hall. Their cultivations ranged from the seventh to the tenth level of the Bone Forging realm!
Their eyes were incomparably furious!
"Father, your son brought the Black and White Elders to Hundred Mountain City's Zhao Mansion to propose marriage, but the result was that there was a young cultivator in the Zhao Mansion with extraordinary strength. Your son was unable to clearly see how he killed the Black and White Elders. Your son suspected that he was a True Element Boundary master, so your son did not bother with him and immediately brought the Black and White Elders back to the Sect to ask for father's decision!"
Xu Wen whispered.
"You did well. A gentleman does not stand under a collapsing wall."
Xu Dingtian nodded and approved of Xu Wen's actions. Many elders thought that Xu Wen was afraid of death, but they didn't dare to express their thoughts with Xu Dingtian around.
"True Element Realm master … In our Si Water Commandery, apart from those few sects, there are only twenty or so True Element Realm masters. Which one of them is it?"
The Hidden Cloud Sect's Second Elder stroked his beard and muttered.
"No matter who it is, since they killed an Elder of the Hidden Cloud Sect, they must give us an explanation. I haven't exercised my body in a long time. This time, I will personally make a trip to the Zhao Mansion. First Elder, come with me. Second Elder, stay here and guard the Hidden Cloud Sect.
Xu Dingtian said calmly.
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
All the elders responded in unison. Only the Great Elder had a strange expression. He knew that Xu Dingtian wanted to bring him along because he was afraid that he would cause trouble in the Hidden Cloud Sect. The Great Elder glanced at Xu Dingtian from the corner of his eyes and sneered in his heart.
"Father, I'll go with you."
Xu Wen said.
"Let's go together."
Xu Dingtian nodded.
…
Hundred Mountain City.
Besides the Zhao Mansion, there were also four other families in Hundred Mountain City. They were the Huang Family, the Long Family, the Shangguan Family, and the Nangong Family. The last three families had already been operating in Hundred Mountain City for hundreds of years. Because they weren't families that specialized in business, they were much weaker than the Zhao Mansion in terms of financial resources. However, the overall strength of their martial artists was much stronger than the Zhao Mansion. Each family had three to five masters at the seventh stage of the Bone Forging realm!
As for the Huang Family, it was originally a small family. However, thirty years ago, the Huang Family produced an imperial concubine. With the help of this imperial concubine, the Huang Family soared to the sky. After thirty years, they were comparable to the other large families. They were even the strongest of the five families in Hundred Mountain City! This was because the Huang Family had an expert at the eighth level of the Bone Forging Realm. This imperial concubine had sent him from the imperial palace to be her father's guard!
"Everyone, have you heard? The Hidden Cloud Sect's two elders died in the Zhao Mansion."
The Huang Family's head, Huang Batian, said with a smile. His tone contained a hint of schadenfreude. Before he made his fortune, he was once bullied by a servant of the Zhao Mansion. Although not many people knew about this, and Huang Batian didn't want others to say that he was narrow-minded, he never forgot about it. After he made his fortune, he would find trouble with the Zhao Mansion whenever he had the chance. Now that he heard that two elders of the Hidden Cloud Sect died in the Zhao Mansion, he was naturally happy.
The Long Family, Shangguan Family, and Nangong Family's heads were also present. After hearing Huang Batian's words, they all smiled and nodded.
"With the Hidden Cloud Sect's personality, in a few days, the Zhao Mansion will disappear from Hundred Mountain City. At that time, who do you think the Hidden Cloud Sect will hand over the Zhao Mansion's business to?"
Long Qinyun said with a smile.
"Why don't we divide it among the four families? That way, it will be more fair."
Shangguan Mo Di said.
Nangong Cheng shook his head and said, "The Huang Family will take thirty percent, and the remaining seventy will be divided among the three of us. That's more fair."
Long Qinyun and Shangguan Mo Di glanced at him and cursed him in their hearts. However, on the surface, they nodded with a smile.
"That's fine too."
The two said at the same time.
"No, no, my Huang Family will take fifty percent. The remaining fifty will be divided among the three of you."
Huang Batian shook his head with a smile. Although he was over sixty years old, because he had practiced the cultivation technique from the royal palace and consumed the pills his daughter gave him, his cultivation had reached the seventh-level of the Bone Forging Realm. He still looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. If he didn't have any illnesses, he could easily live to one hundred and forty years old.
Fifty percent?
Even Nangong Cheng's expression changed slightly. However, after weighing the pros and cons, the three of them nodded in agreement. Huang Batian's daughter now had a high status in the royal palace. There was no need to become enemies with Huang Batian over such a trivial matter.
"That's right, Huang Family Head, I heard that the person who killed the Hidden Cloud Sect's Black and White Elders was picked up by Zhao Zhuo's daughter, Zhao Ruo. At that time, she was seriously injured and unconscious. This person's cultivation cannot be underestimated. Do you think that the Hidden Cloud Sect can take revenge this time?"
Long Qinyun suddenly let out a smile.
"Oh …"
Everyone, including Huang Batian, frowned slightly. He had never considered this before.
"The Hidden Cloud Sect has occupied this place for over one thousand and three hundred years. They must have some special tricks up their sleeves. Otherwise, they would have been eliminated long ago. How can a single person stop the Hidden Cloud Sect? I'll just wait and watch the show. "
Nangong Cheng said with a smile.
"Patriarch Nangong is right. Let's just watch the show!"
