Dust swirled in the air, and bits of wood flew everywhere. Sunlight shone down from the sky, creating a brilliant beam of light. Everyone who looked at Hayashikawa felt a strange sense of oppression, as if he were some sort of god.
Everyone was bewildered, wondering whether or not they should attack again. Suddenly, six people stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at each other in dismay. Fear and dread could be seen in each other's eyes.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the six people stepped forward, then dropped to one knee and bowed respectfully in the direction of Hayashikawa.
"Zhao Zheng, chief disciple of the Solitary Sword Sect, greets His Excellency Hayashikawa of the Lin Clan!"
As the young man in the lead bowed, the other disciples of the Solitary Sword Sect all dropped to their knees in fear and trepidation.
Although most of them didn't know who Hayashikawa was, the mere mention of the Lin Clan, His Excellency Hayashikawa was enough to make them realize that Hayashikawa had a noble status! If they offended him, the Solitary Sword Sect would have no way of protecting them. If Hayashikawa wanted to take their lives, he wouldn't even need to do it himself. All he needed to do was say the word.
"Oh? You know me? " Hayashikawa looked at the Solitary Sword Sect disciples with an enigmatic smile, especially the chief disciple, Zhao Zheng, who was kneeling in front of them.
"I followed my Master to the Lin Clan's end-of-year grand competition," said the young man hurriedly. "Well met, Your Excellency Hayashikawa!"
"Then just now …" Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes and said unhurriedly.
"That was a misunderstanding! Please calm your anger, Your Excellency Hayashikawa! We thought some random thief had come to ambush us. We never imagined that it would be Your Excellency Hayashikawa. If we had known, we wouldn't have dared to attack you! "Zhao Zheng explained.
From Hayashikawa's tone, he didn't hear too much hatred, which made him feel a little relieved. At least there was still room for redemption. Otherwise, they really wouldn't be able to bear the consequences this time.
"Forget it. I don't want to talk about anything else. The Lin Family has reserved this canyon. You should leave as soon as possible!" Hayashikawa waved his hand. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people.
He remembered that the Solitary Sword Sect and the Lin Clan were allies. Although there was a huge difference in status, he couldn't go too far. Letting these people leave wasn't a big deal; it was just a matter of convenience.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Excellency Hayashikawa!" Zhao Zheng said respectfully.
Zhao Zheng looked back. In the confrontation just now, Hayashikawa's side was unscathed. On the other hand, more than a dozen people on their side were seriously injured by Hayashikawa. Some of them didn't look like they would survive. Zhao Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"As expected, the heir of a great family is not something ordinary people can compare to …."
Soon, Hayashikawa and Bu Lianshi watched as the group carefully left the canyon.
"Wait! Did you discover anything when you were here just now? "Lin Chuan stopped Zhao Zheng, who was about to leave, and asked.
"Uh …. What does Young Master Hayashikawa mean by 'discover'?" Zhao Zheng asked.
The Solitary Sword Sect had only come here to pick some medicinal herbs. They hadn't paid much attention to anything else. However, since this place had attracted the attention of Bai Lingzi of the Lin Clan, it was obvious that there was something worth investigating. Zhao Zheng had to figure out what Hayashikawa was interested in first before he could recall what Hayashikawa wanted.
"Is there any strange pool of water?" Hayashikawa asked directly. He wasn't afraid that Zhao Zheng would discover anything.
The Holy Spirit Dew's aura was very faint in the pool. Apart from Hayashikawa, who had been in contact with it for a long time, or Bu Lianshi, who had absolute perception, no one else would be able to discover the secret of the pool.
"Pool …." Zhao Zheng frowned, trying hard to recall the various pools they had encountered in the canyon.
They had only passed by these places. There was nothing special about them, and they didn't bother to pay attention to them. Therefore, many of their memories had become blurry.
"Speaking of strange places, there is indeed a pool of water that is quite strange. That's because the medicinal herbs growing near the pool are particularly lush. It can even be described as dense. However, those herbs have all been picked. Even when we came here, we only managed to pick up a few. I don't know who picked them first!" Zhao Zheng said.
"Give me the location of the pool!" Hayashikawa said, stretching out his hand.
After a while, Hayashikawa took the jade tube given by Zhao Zheng and the jade tube given by the Liu Family. After verifying the two, he went straight to the location of the pool.
On the other side, after the people of the Solitary Sword Sect retreated to the entrance of the canyon, they stopped there. Their position was just right at the mouth of the gourd. This place could be said to be the throat of the entire canyon. Guarding this place, people outside couldn't enter, and people inside couldn't leave.
"Eldest senior brother, we are going to …." One of the disciples at the Peak of the Gold Core Stage looked at Zhao Zheng's actions and asked with some doubts.
"Just guard here!" Zhao Zheng glanced at his junior brother and turned to the other core disciples and said.
After everyone had settled down, Zhao Zheng and the other five junior brothers gathered together.
"Hayashikawa's strength is very strong. We can't fight with him. The previous compromise was just a stopgap measure. He came here with Bai Lingzi named Bu Lianshi. His conspiracy is definitely not simple. What we need to do is wait!" Zhao Zheng's eyes flashed.
Zhao Zheng was definitely not a simple person to be able to become the eldest disciple of a medium-sized Sect. His respect for Hayashikawa was not fake, but that was when Hayashikawa was still alive. What if he was dead?
The surrounding junior brothers secretly thought for a while and roughly understood the purpose of Zhao Zheng's actions.
Wait! It was indeed the best strategy at the moment!
"This canyon is not simple. From our previous exploration, there is a large area of danger, but it is also the most likely place to find treasures. Just the precious herbs we saw were no less than ten. There must be more, but we don't have the strength to take them, so we can only watch. Now that Hayashikawa is here, he can take them for us!" Zhao Zheng said with a chuckle.
"Eldest senior brother, do you mean that we should wait until Hayashikawa has enough treasures, and then rob them?" Someone said.
"Oh, if you think you have the strength, you can go to your death. I won't accompany you! To tell you the truth, even if there is only Hayashikawa, we can't beat him with 100 people. What's more, he has Bai Lingzi, Bu Lianshi, who is not to be trifled with. Rob them? You're tired of living! "Zhao Zheng said coldly.
"Then ….?" The man looked at his eldest senior brother puzzledly.
"Life and death are predestined. If Lin Chuan comes out alive, then we'll be guarding the canyon for him and ensuring his safety. If he doesn't come out alive, then everything he has will be ours! "The corners of Zhao Zheng's mouth curled up, revealing a smile of having succeeded in his scheme.
He never intended to fight against Hayashikawa, but this did not mean that he did not want to fight against Hayashikawa.
