Thousands of flying birds were hovering in mid-air, and suddenly they all vibrated their wings, and countless water droplets fell down. White smoke rose up from the top of the hall, and the fire was quickly extinguished.
Before the white smoke dissipated, a flock of birds suddenly swooped down, flapping their wings and directly looking into the eyes of the soldiers. Snakes, insects, rats, and ants followed from all directions, squirming and quickly surrounding them.
The sound of weapons clanging to the ground could be heard endlessly, and screams could be heard one after another. Looking at the scene in front of him, the general's face suddenly changed and he said hoarsely: "Retreat, retreat!" Before he could finish his words, several wolves behind him had already pounced on him.
These sergeants have never seen such a battle since they were in the army, let alone encounter such a weird "enemy". It would be good if they could save a life.
Listening to the screams outside the window panes, many people wondered: "What on earth happened?", but no one moved. After a while, the screams gradually became weaker. Jade Shura walked to the window and looked out. In addition to the dead people, scattered weapons, and flags in the open space, the soldiers had already fled.
Jade Shura turned around and cried with joy: "Those thieves have been driven away." Hearing this, the heroes breathed a sigh of relief and became happy in their hearts.
Bai Ruoxuan opened her eyes slightly and slowly removed her palm from Xiao Yunfan's back. Said: "Xiao Yunfan, how are you?" Xiao Yunfan looked pale, stood up and said: "I'm fine."
Jade Shura said: "Brother Xiao, if you hadn't used this peerless martial arts, we would have met in hell." Xiao Yunfan smiled, but suddenly his smile froze and he fell backwards.
Jade Shura exclaimed, and Bai Ruoxuan held him in her arms and said pitifully: "Idiot, didn't you say it's okay...how..."
Feng Miaoqing's heart was beating wildly, and she hurriedly stepped forward. Unexpectedly, all the heroes gathered around to block the two of them, and the audience shouted: "Xiao Daxia..."
A man with a red and swollen left cheek knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, we are about to burn those bastards like Zhengdao into cokes. Unexpectedly, countless birds and beasts came from nowhere and started biting people like crazy. . This guy risked his life to come back. It’s because my subordinates are incompetent and they are willing to ask the Lord to punish them.”
The thin old man turned his back to the man, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go down. It was my miscalculation and it has nothing to do with you and others." The man was worried and slowly retreated.
Miao Xianren raised his head and said: "It seems that the spirit of this righteous path has not been exhausted. But little lion, if you think you have defeated me? Then you are totally wrong. Even if you saved the lives of these warriors, they have already lost their souls." , If the way of chivalry does not exist in people's hearts, it will not help even if you work hard."
In the quiet room, several martial arts leaders sat on brocade stools to discuss important matters, while the heroes listened quietly. Just listen to Taoist Gu Feng say: "Now the martial arts is in a critical period of life and death. If everyone can't unite with the enemy and face the outside world, then sooner or later our righteous martial arts forces will be disintegrated by the evil heretics. The old Taoist believes that we should elect a martial arts leader as soon as possible to lead the group. Only by doing this can I keep my righteous power from turning into a piece of loose sand."
Master Zhiyuan nodded and said: "What Taoist Master Gu Feng said is true, but everyone was eager to recommend the leader of the martial arts alliance before, and this was mistaken by the Shenjian Pavilion. Therefore, it is better to be more cautious in choosing the leader of the alliance."
Taoist Master Gu Feng glanced at Master Zhiyuan and said to himself: "This old monk is probably afraid that the prestige of others will be higher than that of Dajue Temple. It's better if I make my words clear so that he can rest assured."
He immediately said: "Master's concerns are also the concerns of everyone, and we must not be careless when it comes to selecting people. Since Pindao recommends the selection of the leader of the martial arts alliance, the method Pindao comes up with will definitely satisfy everyone."
Yin Zhonghao asked: "I don't know what method the leader used?" Gu Feng said: "Pindao's method is extremely simple. Let's write down the list of candidates for the alliance leader right now. If there are several candidates, prepare a few copper coins. Basin, just let the heroes put money into the copper basin. In the end, whoever has the most money in the copper basin will be the leader of the martial arts alliance."
Everyone present said in unison: "A good way, indeed a good way, and extremely fair."
The idea of "promoting talents from a copper basin" soon took shape. In today's martial arts world, only Xiao Yunfan can take this top position to convince everyone. Taoist Gu Feng had already predicted this, so Xiao Yunfan was the best choice. On the one hand, this person has no ambition, and on the other hand, he is what everyone expects.
Xiao Yunfan has never had extravagant hopes for the throne of alliance leader. Firstly, he knows that he is beyond his capabilities, and secondly, he has no intention of pursuing fame and fortune. Sitting on the position of alliance leader will only make him unable to live freely.
Power can make people feel lost, and he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of those big shots.
Suddenly Xiao Yunfan's eyes fell on Bai Ruoxuan, and then he looked at Jade Shura. At that moment, he had some calculations in his mind, and said slowly: "You guys want Xiao to be the leader of this martial arts alliance... it's really..." He said two truths in a row, but never finished his words.
Someone in the crowd became anxious, and the man surnamed Cai puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Brother Xiao, everyone has praised you, why do you have to push back? It's so refreshing."
Xiao Yunfan waved his hand and frowned: "Brother, you don't know something. This burden is heavy. If I do well, you praise me, Xiao Yunfan. My Langjian Sect is naturally glorious. If I don't do well, you have to You can’t bear the burden of scolding my ancestors for me.”
The man surnamed Cai scratched his head and said, "Damn it, you're right. Now the throne of the martial arts leader has become a hot potato."
Taoist Master Gu Feng was good at guessing people's hearts. He smiled and said: "Brother Xiao, why don't you tell me what conditions you have?" Xiao Yunfan said: "It's not impossible for you to ask me to be the leader of this martial arts alliance. Xiao does have three conditions here. If you can tell me one by one, If you promise, then Xiao will do it reluctantly.”
Liu Wanting was not angry with Xiao Yunfan at first, but when he heard his tone, he reached out and slapped the table, and shouted: "Xiao Yunfan, everyone sincerely supports you, it's good that you can take control of everyone. Tell me, Do you want thousands of taels of gold? Do you want martial arts secrets or stunning beauties?"
After Xiao Yunfan heard this, he laughed and said, "I don't want any of these three things. I'm afraid Elder Liu is speaking from his own heart." Hearing this, Liu Wanting couldn't help but blush.
The heroes thought: "Thousands of taels of gold, peerless martial arts, and stunning beauty are the three things that people in the martial arts dream of. This kid doesn't want them. What does he want?"
Xiao Yunfan pinched his fingers and said leisurely: "Xiao's condition is difficult to say, easy to say." Master Zhiyuan said: "No matter how difficult it is, Xiao Tanyue will always tell you, so that everyone can distinguish."
Xiao Yunfan raised a finger and said firmly: "First, please don't embarrass my two friends." Yu Shura and Bai Ruoxuan have shed a lot of blood from decent people, and it is not easy to write off this matter. The faces of the heroes were uncertain, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
Xiao Yunfan looked at Taoist Gu Feng and said: "Taoist Master, no one is willing to agree to my first condition. It seems that there is no need to say the remaining two conditions." Taoist Gu Feng could see that Xiao Yunfan was saying this. If he doesn't come forward to mediate this matter, and save the righteous martial arts world, I'm afraid it will be stranded again.
At this time, Master Zhiyuan announced the name of the Buddha and said: "Amitabha, there is a saying in the Buddha's saying: Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. As long as Jade Shura is willing to convert to this sect, the grievances he had in the past in the world can be wiped out." I mean, as long as Jade Shura joins Dajue Temple, I believe no one will feel the bad luck of Dajue Temple.
Jade Shura glanced at Xiao Yunfan and felt grateful. He was about to speak, but Xiao Yunfan beat him to it. Just listen to what he said: "Xiao certainly believes what the master said. But Brother Shura seems unwilling to hang up orders at Dajue Temple."
Master Zhiyuan also felt embarrassed. There was a blood feud between Jade Shura and several other small sects, and it would definitely be difficult to resolve it with just a few words. Only the sign of Dajue Temple could convince everyone, but Xiao Yunfan refused.
Taoist Master Gu Feng stroked his beard and pondered for a moment: "Brother Xiao, your first condition is not a problem for Pindao. If we have a few big factions to mediate this matter, the other party will definitely give us some face. You What are the following two conditions?"
Xiao Yunfan said: "Don't be busy, Taoist priest, I'm talking about two friends, not Brother Shura." Taoist priest Gu Feng glanced at Bai Ruoxuan and said, "Does this person also have a grudge against others?"
Xiao Yunfan said: "This friend of mine used to be a member of the Gui Xiang Sect, but now she has left the Gui Xiang Sect. I just hope that the righteous friends can forget the past." As soon as the three words "Ghost Xiang Sect" came out, the heroes started talking again.
Taoist Master Gu Feng had long made up his mind. No matter what request Xiao Yunfan made, as long as it did not violate the chivalrous way, he would try his best to achieve it. Only if Xiao Yunfan stood up and united these sects in the martial arts world could there be any hope of fighting against evil. Immediately nodded in agreement.
Everyone present was greatly favored by Xiao Yunfan for this calamity, and they all wanted to be friends with him. It was only natural to be a peacemaker. What's more, since he is now sitting in the position of alliance leader, he will definitely have many interactions in the future. Dajue Temple and Zhengyi Sect have already expressed their stance, and other forces in the world naturally agree.
Seeing this first request is a promise. Xiao Yunfan was overjoyed and continued: "Xiao's second condition is to persuade everyone to let go of Xuannv Palace and Shenjian Pavilion and let bygones be bygones."
It turned out that on that day, after the heroes knew the truth of the matter, they all scorned the Divine Sword Pavilion of Xuannv Palace and wished they could get rid of it quickly. But how to deal with these two factions has not yet been decided. Master Zhiyuan proposed to imprison these people in Dajue Temple first, and wait for everyone to discuss a solution before making a decision.
Nowadays, the martial arts forces are already divided. To contend with the Guixiangmen, the top priority is to stabilize people's hearts. Suppressing these two factions can certainly quell public anger in the short term, but if the suppression is not done properly, once these two factions turn to evil, it will be tantamount to destroying the Great Wall.
The knowledgeable people among the heroes will naturally consider this aspect, but in this situation, only when the sect shows a clear attitude can everyone talk about it. Seeing that Xiao Yunfan had the same idea as him, Taoist Gu Feng thought to himself: "This boy is really extraordinary. He has such insight and is enough to lead the people."
For this second item, Taoist Master Gufeng and Master Zhiyuan looked at each other and expressed their approval. Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "Then the third condition is easier. After Xiao helps you calm down this storm, I will no longer assume the position of leader of the martial arts alliance. If you deserve this, Xiao People have nothing to worry about.”
Taoist Master Gu Feng couldn't help but smile and thought to himself: "It is a wise move to retreat after one's success." He then stood up, walked to Xiao Yunfan and cupped his hands and said: "Taoist Gu Feng of the Zhengyi Sect is willing to listen to the leader's orders." Starting from Gu Feng, to Master Yuan followed closely behind, and everyone else raised their hands and said, "We are willing to listen to the leader's orders." For a time, the hall was filled with thunderous cheers.
At this moment, a monk rushed into the hall in a panic and said breathlessly: "Uncle Master, something serious has happened."
