"Have you heard? This time, the Martial Arts Society Convention will be held in our Pingwu County. The sect masters and outstanding disciples of over a hundred sects in Liang Province will be participating." A middle-aged man with a thin face deliberately lowered his voice as he asked.
"I've heard about it long ago. What kind of news is this? Right now, all the sects are rushing towards Pingwu County. Our Scarlet Shark Sect's Sect Master has already arrived and rented an entire inn. I'm afraid those who come later won't even have a place to sleep on the streets." A bearded man laughed.
At this moment, in the Qian Family Restaurant in the county, there were many travel-worn Jianghu heroes with sabers and swords in their hands. They were discussing among themselves. It was very lively.
Pingwu County was going to hold a Martial Arts Society Convention? And all the sects in Liangzhou at that? Lu Xiaotian was currently sitting in an inconspicuous corner of the restaurant. He ordered a pot of tea and a plate of beef, silently listening to the discussion in the restaurant.
"Of course I'm not talking about that. This is the first time such a grand Martial Arts Society Convention has been held in the past few decades. Even the Iron Palm Sect, the number one sect in Liangzhou, doesn't have such a rallying power. Do you know the reason?" After being refuted, the thin middle-aged man decided to reveal some shocking information.
"What reason?"
"The Black Iron Order!"
"What? The Black Iron Order? How is that possible? Hasn't it disappeared for almost a hundred years?" Everyone in the restaurant was shocked and looked at each other.
The thin middle-aged man snorted, "Yesterday, the leader of the Four Seas Sect, Yu Tianshan, was attacked by his enemies and unfortunately died. The Jianghu people who passed by saw the Black Iron Order fall from Yu Tianshan's body. Other than the Black Iron Order, who else has the ability to gather all the sects in Liangzhou for a meeting in such a short time? "
"If that's the case, it's quite possible." The people in the restaurant began to discuss, and for a moment, their faces were filled with fear.
So it's just some trifling Jianghu matters. Lu Xiaotian shook his head with a smile and prepared to pay the bill and leave. Other than cultivation, he was not interested in these Jianghu disputes. However, soon, the words of an old man with white eyebrows made his hand pause.
"Rumor has it that the holder of the Black Iron Order has received guidance from an immortal. Back then, the sects in Liangzhou refused to obey the Black Iron Order, but they suffered a bloody baptism. Within a few days, the residences of the sect leaders and sects were attacked by fireballs. The fire can melt gold and iron, and water can't extinguish it.. Or if an ice arrow pierced through his body and turned him into an ice sculpture. That ice arrow doesn't melt when it comes into contact with fire and is extremely cold … "
Lu Xiaotian's pupils dilated.......... is................. ......................... .................... However, this made sense. There were dozens of counties in Liangzhou, hundreds of sects of various sizes, and hundreds of thousands of warriors. Among them, there were many first-class experts and several peerless warriors. It was impossible for a single person to command so many unruly warriors. Only the powerful strength of a cultivator could make these warriors submit to him.
But what made him curious was why the cultivators would go through so much trouble to find these ordinary warriors.
Just as Lu Xiaotian was feeling surprised, a luxurious carriage escorted by twenty First Rated Martial Artists entered from the north gate of Pingwu County. Not to mention that the four horses used in the carriage were all snow-white and exceptionally handsome. Just a dozen or so First Rated Warriors galloping on horseback was an incomparably powerful force no matter where they went.
The carriage drove into a large courtyard, and no one dared to stop it. A white-haired old man and a fat shopkeeper were waiting there respectfully. If Lu Xiaotian was here, he would definitely recognize that this fat shopkeeper was the shopkeeper of Miaozhi Hall.
Tock tock …
The carriage stopped, and an arrogant golden-robed young man came out of it. He looked to be in his twenties, but his arrogant attitude made it seem as if he didn't pay any attention to the many cultivators present.
"I am Miaozhi Hall's Hall Master, Hu Yiping. This is the hall's Shopkeeper, Ma Hongtao. Greetings, Lord Sacred Envoy. "The white-haired old man, Hu Yiping, and Shopkeeper Ma saluted the golden-robed young man at the same time.
"Hmm, so you have news of the Purple Spirit Grass?" The golden-robed young man stood on the carriage with his hands behind his back, looking down at the two of them.
"Yes, but the Purple Spirit Grass that Lord Sacred Envoy mentioned was bought by another young man," Shopkeeper Ma said truthfully.
"What?" The golden-robed young man was furious. Liangzhou was located in a remote area, and there weren't many spiritual items. It wasn't easy to get the news of the Purple Spirit Grass, but it was stolen by someone else.
"I didn't know that the Purple Spirit Grass was the herb that Lord Sacred Envoy needed. I've offended Lord Sacred Envoy, so I've emptied it. Please forgive me, Lord Sacred Envoy!"
Feeling the pressure from the golden-robed young man, Ma Hongtao's legs trembled, and he almost couldn't help but kneel down. The Hall Master, Hu Yiping, had a much higher cultivation than him, but his face was also pale.
"Do you remember the person who bought the Purple Spirit Grass?" The golden-robed young man asked in a deep voice.
Ma Hongtao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I remember."
"Ask the Great Painter to draw a portrait of this person immediately and secretly investigate this person's whereabouts. If you find anything, don't act rashly. Inform me immediately and get out of here!" The golden-robed young man said after thinking for a while.
"Yes, yes!" Hu Yiping and Ma Hongtao hurriedly left as if they had been granted amnesty.
"Back to the Green Lotus Villa!" The golden-robed young man said and got back into the carriage.
At this time, a plump woman in a red dress was lying in the carriage. She was playing with a strand of black hair beside her ear. "Didn't you say that Liangzhou has always been the territory of the Situ Family? How come there are other cultivators? "
The golden-robed young man said with a gloomy face, "I heard about this from the elders in the family. Our family has left Liangzhou for more than a hundred years. It's normal for a few rogue cultivators to appear in Liangzhou during such a long time. It's fine if I didn't know about this, but now that I know about it, I have to kill this person. "
"We don't know how strong he is now. How can you be so sure? Should we inform the experts in the family to come? "The woman threw herself into the golden-robed young man's arms.
The golden-robed young man snorted and said, "Liangzhou is such a remote place. Rogue cultivators with high cultivation levels won't come. If it weren't for the fierce competition in Moonview Immortal City and my ancestor offending a Foundation Establishment senior in the city, I wouldn't have been reduced to Liangzhou. Moreover, the other party only took the Purple Spirit Grass, which is the lowest level spiritual herb. A rogue cultivator, even if he's in the third level of the Qi Refinement Realm, may not be my match. Moreover, there are two of us. What's there to be afraid of? My father is preparing to break through to the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm. He doesn't have the time now. Moreover, if I can't even do such a small thing, how can I inherit the family business in the future? "
"Alright, then let's investigate that person's background first. However, we have to find him first."
The golden-robed young man nodded and said, "As long as he's still in Liangzhou City, he won't be able to escape our eyes and ears. There are hundreds of large and small gangs in Liangzhou, and countless martial artists. I believe we'll have news of that person soon. When the time comes, we'll act according to the circumstances. "
There's a possibility that another cultivator might appear in Pingwu County. After his scheming against the black-robed old man, Lu Xiaotian was instinctively wary of other people. However, the black-robed old man kept his mouth shut, and he knew nothing about the situation in the Cultivation World. After much consideration, Lu Xiaotian decided that even if there was a certain amount of risk, he had to try to get in touch with the Cultivation World and understand the situation. Otherwise, if he were to rely on his own cultivation, he might not be able to reach the fourth or fifth level of the Qi Refinement Realm in his lifetime. At this moment, the Cultivation World had already opened a door for him. He was not willing to stop here so easily.
"It seems that I have to participate in this Martial Arts Convention."
Lu Xiaotian muttered to himself. He took out some silver pieces, placed them on the table, and left. Not long after he left, the eyes of two middle-aged men wearing bamboo hats flashed with a hint of surprise. One of them hurriedly left, while the other fell far behind in the bustling crowd of people in the county.
As martial artists from all over gathered in Pingwu County, there were more and more Jianghu martial artists in the county. The streets were filled with endless streams of people. On the streets, Lu Xiaotian did not notice it. After all, there were too many people.
However, after he left the city gate, the man in the bamboo hat followed him out. Very soon, he was alerted.
"Could it be the people from Miaozhi Hall again?" Lu Xiaotian frowned. He quickened his pace and rushed to a deserted place in the wilderness.
"Giddy up …"
Dozens of First Rated Martial Artists galloped on the streets. Behind them were four carriages pulled by white horses. The martial artists on the street originally wanted to open their mouths and curse, but when they saw that all of them were First Rated Warriors, they immediately shut their mouths. Disaster comes from careless talk. They could not afford to provoke such a powerful force.
After they left the city gate, the golden-robed young man and the red-dressed young lady left the carriage. They chased after the middle-aged man in the bamboo hat into the wilderness. However, after chasing for a while, they entered the forest. They saw the middle-aged man in the bamboo hat looking into the distance with a blank expression.
The golden-robed young man asked coldly, "Where is he?"
"Who do you think you are … Ouch!" The middle-aged man in the bamboo hat wanted to refute the young man in front of him. After all, he did not know him. However, before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. His entire body curled up like a shrimp, and was sent flying four or five feet away. He fell to the ground and howled miserably.
"You'd better tell me what I want to hear before my patience runs out," the golden-robed young man said with a cold face.
"I, I followed that young man out of the city gate and into the forest. Then, he disappeared. I, I don't know where he went!" Looking at the golden-robed young man's ice-cold eyes, the man in the bamboo hat shuddered. His face turned blue as he said in a trembling voice.
