Early the next morning, Munin followed Meng Ke to the location of the Blood Flag Martial Arts Tournament. It was near a pier by the Luo River.
Tang Yuyan and Yunlin stayed at the escort agency to take care of the Tang Lishan.
Munin silently sized up the Luo River along the way.
This section of the river was a little sloped and the current was rapid. The river was four to five hundred feet wide and stretched from east to west without an end. It was like a winding white dragon. It was indeed a natural barrier.
There was a slight bend on the shore where the current was relatively flat. It was where the pier was. Many small boats were docked there, loading and unloading goods in twos and threes.
Next to the pier, there was a wooden platform built in the water with a blood-red escort flag about ten feet tall. This was the arena of the Blood Flag Martial Arts Tournament.
Many tables and chairs were placed on the riverbank. They were the spectator seats.
Munin and Meng Ke sat together, surrounded by many Tang Lishan's confidants. On the other side were Zhu Zhenqi's men. They seemed to be a family, but in fact, they were divided and did not hide much.
Munin used one opportunity to attack on the way here and maintained his strength at the level of a second-rate martial artist.
If Gu Youjing really came, he would use another opportunity to increase his strength to the peak of a first-rate martial artist. It would not be a problem to take back the broken incense burner.
Everyone arrived quickly and the Blood Flag Martial Arts Tournament began.
Although it was a competition between the younger generation, the people sent by each escort agency were not weak. They were all second-rate martial artists.
The competition method was very simple. As long as one had the confidence, they would stand on the wooden platform and announce loudly, "The first seat of the escort agency in Danyang City is ours. If anyone is not convinced, come up!"
If no one went up to challenge within 15 minutes, the first seat would belong to the escort agency where the person who made the announcement was from.
However, this kind of situation had never happened before.
This time, the first person to announce on the wooden platform was Li Yu, the escort leader of the Nanwei Escort Agency, who used to be the strongest. His Hengshui Knife Technique was fierce and ruthless, and he had won first place many times.
However, it did not take long for someone to challenge him. It was a life-and-death battle.
After a round of fighting, the other party fell off the wooden platform with serious injuries. Li Yu won easily.
"Who else is not convinced?" Li Yu said proudly as he looked around with his blood-dripping saber in hand.
The escort leader of the Black Flag Escort Agency, Zhu Zhenqi, was discussing with a young man wearing a blue long-sleeved robe beside him in a low voice. The Munin was able to use his Divine Sense to hear them clearly.
"Father, I'll go up and fulfill your wish of many years. Seeing that old man Li's arrogant look makes me angry." The young man in blue was Zhu Zhenqi's son, Zhu Zhe.
"Zhe 'er, let's wait a little longer. I heard that Old Tang was seriously injured by a mysterious master and is now half-dead. But now, the Tang's Escort Agency has a Swordsman Mu who can make medicine with one hand. Look, he's the boy in the blue robe. We'd better be careful," Zhu Zhenqi said cautiously.
Zhu Zhe glanced at the Munin in the distance and said with disdain, "Father, you're too cautious. I'll find out sooner or later. What medicine with one hand? Immortal doctor's methods? They're all tricks of the martial world. The reason why Old Tang could be saved was because of the sacred medicine, Bright Jade Pill. That Swordsman Mu is just pretending to be mysterious. Only people like Zhen Fu Ming, who are from a branch family, would be fooled. " “
I know that you've seen a lot after going to the White Sun Sect, but we still can't be careless. I heard that Swordsman Mu also took out the sacred medicine, Bright Jade Pill. " Zhu Zhenqi still looked very conservative.
Zhu Zhe smiled and said, "Father, you're wrong. I heard that the boy is called Zhen Mowu. He's a descendant of the Zhen Family's main branch. However, he's mediocre and swindles people everywhere. He pretends to be a madman from Green Rock City. That so-called Bright Jade Pill is obviously fake. Actually, it's not hard to imagine. Sacred medicine is already a rare thing. How can two of them appear at the same time? Yesterday, Zhen Fu Ming, Steward Pang, and the others were all brainless. They were fooled by Zhen Mowu's tricks. They were so scared that they didn't even check the Bright Jade Pill and ran away. What a joke. "
"Zhe 'er, I'll leave it to you. Father is indeed old." Zhu Zhenqi completely believed Zhu Zhe's words and sighed with relief.
Zhu Zhe said confidently, "Father, don't worry. Just be the escort leader of Dan Yang City's number one escort agency. Even if there's an accident, our White Sun Sect's reputation isn't just for show. Besides, I have an inner sect senior brother nearby. I can ask him for help anytime. " “
"Inner sect senior brother? Could he be a First Rated Warrior? " Zhu Zhenqi was slightly shocked. Tang Lishan, who came from an unorthodox background, had already become a First Rated Martial Artist and was able to completely suppress the six escort agencies. If an Inner Sanctum First Rated Martial Artist from the White Sun Sect of the seven sects and three clans were to come, it wouldn't be a problem for the First Rated Martial Artist to wipe out all the forces of the underworld in Dan Yang City.
…
While the father and son of the Zhu Clan were discussing quietly, on the arena, the escort leader of the Nanwei Escort Agency, Li Yu, had already accepted the challenges of the five escort agencies. Only the Tang's Escort Agency and the Black Flag Escort Agency were left.
Li Yu ignored the Black Flag Escort Agency and looked at the Tang's Escort Agency proudly. "Young man Meng, you're the representative of the Tang's Escort Agency, right? What do you say?
"The Tang's Escort Agency gives up the fight for the number one spot," Meng Ke replied reluctantly according to the Tang Lishan's instructions.
When they heard Meng Ke's reply, no one was surprised.
In this way, Li Yu's Nanwei Escort Agency was almost guaranteed to take the number one spot. However, Li Yu still didn't look in the direction of the Black Flag Escort Agency. He said arrogantly, "If there's anyone else who's not convinced, feel free to come up. If there's no one else, then this escort agency will be disrespectful. The number one spot still belongs to our Nanwei Escort Agency." “
Zhu Zhe suddenly stood up and said, "Li, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you're still so arrogant."
"Zhu Zhenqi, who is he? Is this how the Black Flag Escort Agency is educated?" Li Yu was even more disdainful.
Zhu Zhe moved and landed on the wooden stage with his bare hands. "I'm Zhu Zhe." “
"You're Zhu Zhenqi's youngest son. What kind of Qinggong is that?" Li Yu became serious.
"Of course, it's the White Sun Sect's Fish Leap Technique!" Zhu Zhe said calmly.
"You … You went to the White Sun Sect all these years." Li Yu was shocked and lost his composure.
"Why? Are you afraid? I'm just an outer sect disciple. Please enlighten me. " Zhu Zhe said humbly.
"I admit defeat." Li Yu's face was red, but he jumped off the wooden stage decisively. Everyone else felt that it was natural. No one was surprised, and they even praised his decisiveness.
Everyone present knew what kind of existence the White Sun Sect was. It was one of the top forces in the martial arts world of the Heng dynasty. It was one of the seven sects and three clans.
It was said that there were even Innate Stage martial artists in the sect. Usually, no forces would dare to offend any one of them.
After Li Yu went down, the other escort agencies could continue to challenge him.
"Whoever is not convinced, please step forward. I, Zhu Zhe, will take on all of them." Zhu Zhe knew that no one would step forward, but he still asked as usual. The Black Flag Escort Agency and Zhu Zhenqi could finally hold their heads high.
Ten breaths, twenty breaths, thirty breaths passed, but there was still no movement.
"Since no one objects, then the Black Flag Escort Agency will take the first seat," Zhu Zhe said in a clear voice.
"I'm not convinced." A cold voice sounded.
Zhu Zhe looked at the person who spoke with a sharp gaze. "You're not from the seven escort agencies. You have no right to refuse!"
"I'm not now, but I will be soon. The seven escort agencies will respect my Master from now on." A dark-skinned man with a bamboo hat stood at the bow of a boat with a black awning not far away from the wooden stage. He stood with his hands behind his back and was as still as a mountain.
"How arrogant!" Zhu Zhe said coldly.
The burly man leaped into the air and landed steadily on the wooden stage after a few light touches on the surface of the flowing river.
Zhu Zhe's pupils shrunk. Judging from the burly man's Qing Gong, he was definitely much stronger than him. He could even be compared to the inner sect disciples of the White Sun Sect. Zhu Zhe asked cautiously, "Who are you? Are you also from one of the seven sects and three clans? " “
