"He was so angry that he vomited blood and died?" Teng Qingshan frowned.
Hongwu's expression changed as he hastily said, "Father, this is bad. Elder Ni Hanshan was so furious that he vomited blood and died. At that time, the disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect will definitely hold a grudge against you, Father. He said that it was because of Father's arrogance and bullying the weak. Elder Ni Hanshan vomited blood and died from anger. "
"Hmph." Li Jun couldn't help but snort coldly.
"You don't have to worry about these trivial matters." Teng Qingshan waved his hand and dismissed the Dojo Master.
Right now, Teng Qingshan only wanted to find out who the mastermind was and punish him severely. Teng Qingshan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to those in the Gui Yuan Sect who were prejudiced against him. After all, in this world, there was no way to make everyone praise you endlessly. There will always be someone to defame you.
*****
The Ni family's residence in Yongan County.
The Ni family was one of the top families in Yong 'an County. In the Gui Yuan Sect, the Ni family's origin was not shorter than the Zhuge family's. Currently, the leader of the Ni family was none other than Elder Ni, one of the two Golden Core Innate Law Enforcement Elders of the Gui Yuan Sect.
It was noon and the sun was high up in the sky.
On the other hand, the Ni residence was shrouded in an oppressive atmosphere, such that even the maidservants had to keep their voices down when they walked in the residence as they were afraid of making loud noises. The entire residence was covered with white strips of cloth, and many people were dressed in mourning attire. As one walked closer to the residence's main hall, one could even hear sobbing sounds.
The two children were wearing mourning clothes with red silk cloth tied around their waists. They were kneeling and burning joss paper.
"Boohoo … Master, why did you leave just like that?"
"Master."
Several women were kneeling on the ground, crying in pain. The Ni family was a big clan, and the Law Enforcement Elder Ni had three sons and two daughters. On the other hand, Elder Ni Hanshan, who had passed away, only had a son and two daughters. The death of his only son, Ni Mengzhong, was obviously a huge blow to him, causing him to spit blood and die from anger.
At the side of the memorial hall, next to the coffin, an old man with a cold expression sat quietly on a chair, looking at the coffin in front of him.
The aloof middle-aged man was Elder Ni, the oldest Enforcement Elder in the Ni clan.
"Martial Uncle Ni, my condolences."
From time to time, many people would come over after hearing the news. Some of the elders would respectfully greet the cold middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man slightly nodded and did not speak.
…
In the Gui Yuan Sect, the disciples who had just finished their lunch were walking around in groups of three to five.
"I say, Senior Martial Brother, aren't you going too far by saying that to Lord Teng? After all, the Gui Yuan Sect is indebted to Lord Teng. "
"Too much? Yes, this Lord Teng has done us a great favor. But even if he owed her a favor, he shouldn't be so arrogant, right? It's one thing for you to monopolize our Gui Yuan Sect's Fiery Gilt Battle Armor and Fiery Feather Battle Armor. Look, even the Ni family's eldest grandson, Ni Mengzhong, has lost his life. No one dared to stand up for the Ni family. This Teng Qingshan even forced the Gui Yuan Sect to give him an explanation. Hmph … We can't do anything about it. Teng Qingshan is powerful and a grandmaster. The Gui Yuan Sect can only lower our heads. "Two disciples walked on the road. The shorter disciple's tone was obviously filled with resentment.
"Forget it. What can we do?" The other disciple shook his head and said.
Suddenly —
A young man carrying a war saber on his back walked over. When he saw the two, he hastily said, "Sixth Martial Brother, Seventh Martial Brother. Something bad happened. Elder Ni Hanshan of the Ni family was bedridden due to severe injuries. He spat out blood and died today. "
"What?!" The two were shocked.
"Sigh." The young man with the war saber couldn't help but shake his head. "Elder Ni Hanshan only had one son. His son died, and no one sought justice for him. At that time, he was severely injured by Teng Qingshan. When he returned, he was full of anger and sadness. His son died, and he was severely injured. He spat out blood and died. It's no wonder. "
"This, this …" The shorter disciple couldn't help but reveal an angry expression. He said, "He's going too far! He's going too far! Teng Qingshan's son is his son, but the son of our Gui Yuan Sect's Elder Ni is not his son? He's going too far! "
"What can we do? He's the Sovereign of the Xing Yi Sect. Our Gui Yuan Sect has to rely on him. "The young man with the war saber shook his head helplessly.
"Hmph."
The shorter disciple said angrily, "One must have a backbone! One would rather die standing than live kneeling. So what if he's Teng Qingshan? Our Gui Yuan Sect also has ten thousand Longgang Guards and thirty thousand Black Armoured Corps soldiers. We also have nearly a million disciples! Millions of ordinary soldiers. Without Teng Qingshan, can't our Gui Yuan Sect hold up the sky by ourselves? "
"Instead of being protected by others and being bullied, it's better for our Gui Yuan Sect to hold up the sky by ourselves. It's better for our Gui Yuan Sect to hold up the sky by ourselves. We'd rather have a smaller territory than to suffer such cowardice! "The shorter disciple said angrily.
"Yes, Sixth Senior Martial Brother is right." Another disciple next to him felt his blood boil. "Why should we suffer such cowardice! Teng Qingshan is strong because his Xing Yi Sect is strong. It has nothing to do with our Gui Yuan Sect. Teng Qingshan used to be a disciple of our Gui Yuan Sect. Didn't he betray the sect? He hasn't been a disciple for a long time. "
"You two, lower your voice." The young man with the war saber looked around.
"What are you afraid of? You're right and talented. "The shorter disciple glared and roared," Even in front of the Elders and the Sovereign, I dare to say this! Elder Ni Hanshan was angered to death. Not only did no one give him justice, but they also sealed the Ni Clan's mansion. He even sealed the Ni family's residence and said that he wanted to investigate everyone in the family. It's too chilling. No matter what, we must make Teng Qingshan give us an explanation. "
"Yes, there must be an explanation."
In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, most of the martial artists were hot-blooded. When they were hot-blooded, they would draw their swords and kill. Previously, many disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect had been tolerating it. However, when they heard that Elder Ni Hanshan was so angry that he vomited blood and died. The Ni Clan's mansion was still sealed, and everyone in the mansion was being investigated.
Naturally, they became even angrier.
Maybe it was because they were hot-blooded, or maybe someone was fanning the flames. For a moment, many disciples, who were proud of being a disciple of the Gui Yuan Sect, became angry. A large number of disciples gathered in groups of three to five. Many disciples gathered in front of the main hall of the Gui Yuan Sect.
"Sect Leader, we would rather live standing than die kneeling!"
"Sovereign, the Gui Yuan Sect can't bow to the Xing Yi Sect!"
Tens of thousands of disciples gathered at the square in front of the main hall like a surging ocean. Many of them were shouting at the top of their lungs.
Among the crowd …
"What's the use of shouting here? I think we should go to the outside of the Qingshan Guild Hall and shout. We should ask Teng Qingshan to give us an explanation and give us justice. " Give us justice, "a disciple said.
"Hmph, are you stupid? Go to the front of the Qingshan Guild Hall? That will only make things worse. "
Although the disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect were hot-blooded and angry, most of them knew the severity of the situation. Now that they were all agitated, it would be fine if they wanted the higher-ups of the Gui Yuan Sect to give them an explanation. However, if a large number of people rushed to the front of the Qingshan Guild Hall and caused a ruckus … Then, it would be a big mess. Therefore, only a few people were persuaded.
… …
Although very few people were moved, after all, not everyone was calm. The number of the disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect was too large. In addition, there were some disciples with evil intentions who secretly stirred up trouble. Over a hundred people rushed to the front of the Qingshan Guild Hall and shouted.
"Lord Teng, please give an explanation to the Gui Yuan Sect."
"Lord Teng, your son is your son. Elder Ni Hanshan's son is also your son. Now, you are forcing the Ni Clan. This is too much. I thought you were a great hero since I was young. "
"Teng Qingshan! Don't forget that you used to be a disciple of the Gui Yuan Sect. Now that you have grown up, don't be so arrogant. You are going too far. "
"You are going too far!"
Over a hundred people gathered for a moment.
Hua! Hua! Hua!
A large number of armored soldiers of the Black Armoured Corps gathered and surrounded the disciples. The leader was actually one of the Law Enforcing Elders, Zhuge Yun. Zhuge Yun, who was fully armored and had an ugly expression, waved his hand and shouted, "Take all these people back and lock them in the dungeon!"
"Yes!"
A large number of Black Armoured Corps soldiers rushed over. Most of the disciples did not resist, but some of them roared, "Brothers of the Black Armoured Corps, are you working for the Xing Yi Sect now? Are you here to capture your own brothers? "
"Brothers of the Black Armoured Corps, we are all from the Gui Yuan Sect. What you are doing is disheartening. "
The shouts of some people caused the disciples who hadn't planned to resist to become enraged, and they also began to shout angrily.
However, there was a great disparity in strength. Soon, these people were taken away.
…
Over a hundred thousand people had gathered in front of the Great Hall of the Gui Yuan Sect. Once there were more than ten thousand people, they seemed to be endless. These hundred thousand people had long filled the empty plaza in front of the newly built Gui Yuan Sect's main hall. Many people were standing on the grass, and some were even standing on some trees.
"The Sovereign is here."
"The Sovereign is here."
The originally noisy crowd quickly quietened down. In just a few breaths, nearly a hundred thousand people had become silent, without the slightest noise.
Zhuge Yuan-hong, who was wearing a loose white cloak, was standing in front of the Great Hall of the Gui Yuan Sect. Behind him stood three Law Enforcing Elders.
"Listen up, disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect." Zhuge Yuan-hong's voice spread out, and every disciple could hear him clearly.
"This matter involves a lot of people, and there are many conspiracies and tricks involved. The disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect must not fall into the enemy's trap. " Zhuge Yuan-hong's voice suddenly became louder. "I, Zhuge Yuan-hong, am here to tell all the disciples that the day after tomorrow, which is the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, when the sun rises, I will announce the truth."
This sentence was indeed very effective.
Knowing that they would know the truth the day after tomorrow, and hearing this firm sentence, the disciples who were angry just now obediently retreated. After all, in their hearts, almost all of them were loyal to the Gui Yuan Sect.
…
After calming the people down, Zhuge Yuan-hong immediately went to the Qingshan Guild Hall.
"Someone actually came to the Qingshan Guild Hall to cause trouble …" Zhuge Yuan-hong was also worried that the relationship between him and Teng Qingshan would become even worse.
In the living room of the Qingshan Guild Hall.
"Qingshan." Zhuge Yuan-hong walked into the living room.
"Haha, Master, you look quite embarrassed." Teng Qingshan laughed.
Seeing Teng Qingshan's smile, Zhuge Yuan-hong heaved a sigh of relief, and then shook his head with a bitter smile. "Indeed, I look embarrassed."
"Master, I didn't expect it either. There are so many enemies hiding in the Gui Yuan Sect, and so many spies. "Teng Qingshan smiled and shook his head." So many people actually gathered in front of the main hall. Someone even rushed to the front of the Qingshan Guild Hall. "
Zhuge Yuan-hong nodded. "If there were no spies, this would not have happened. It's my fault … I was too greedy. There was no other way. The Gui Yuan Sect only controlled one county, and it wanted to develop into a super sect. In just twenty years, it only recruited disciples in Yangzhou. It was inevitable that fish eyes passed off as pearls. "
