Tian Shilie went to Chengdu alone, but he didn't know that he was falling into danger step by step.
Chengdu is a good place, known as the land of abundance.
The rivers and lakes here are not as grand as those in the Central Plains, but they are still hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are twice as many masters.
The four major families in the Jianghu, each holding their own, are powerful and have already outcompeted the traditional famous sects.
The Tang clan dominated the south and dominated Sichuan. There were numerous talents from the middle and high schools, including clouds of masters. Among the older generation, the sect leader Tang Mugong and the three elders are all top-notch masters in the world. There are five heroes under him, and five young masters as assistants. It can be said that they have strong soldiers and horses, and they can be called the largest sect in the world. Although there were two major sects, Emei and Qingcheng, in central Sichuan, they were unable to compete with the Tang Sect for supremacy, so they had no choice but to allow them to gain power.
However, the four major families all aspire to dominate the world, so they all look down on each other. The Sheng Ling people created the Guan Yin case originally because they wanted to target the Tang Sect and weaken its strength in order to achieve their ambition of domination. However, due to a strange combination of circumstances, the Tang Sect was not destroyed, but the fire was diverted eastward and burned to the Xiaoyao Sect in Hangzhou. Although this matter was not Sheng Lingren's intention, it was not a bad thing for him. If Xiaoyaomen is destroyed by the imperial court, then the temple will take the opportunity to expand to the coast, rapidly grow its own power, and dominate the southeastern coast for a generation.
In the previous Taishan Conference, after the Xiaoyao Sect suffered heavy losses, it was hard to recover. The reason why it was not destroyed was because the former number one master in the world was still there, and he still had the faint majesty of the number one master in Tianyi. But with the current situation, once Ren Xiaoyao dies, everyone can guess the situation of Xiaoyao Sect.
It is also a good thing to kill the weakest first instead of getting rid of the strongest.
If the strongest faction and the weakest faction fight and both sides lose, that is what Sheng Lingren would rather see.
Sheng Lingren asked his eldest son Sheng Zhiqiang to stay quietly in Chengdu, in order to control the matter secretly, which eventually led to a martial arts catastrophe.
In troubled times heroes emerge.
If the world is not in chaos, how can we show the value of heroes?
Therefore, heroes or tycoons in peaceful times like to make the world as chaotic as possible.
Tian Shilie had already entered the city and found nothing unusual, nor any trace of his son. He didn't realize that he was being watched secretly by a group of people.
Those who come are not good, and these are obviously not good people.
Even if they are good people, they must be evil because of something.
There was a wealthy businessman in the Tang Sect named Bai Hai. Bai Hai's in-laws were Tang Mugong, the head of the Tang Sect. Ever since the Tang Sect learned about rumors in the world that the Guanyin case was committed by the Xiaoyao Sect, they had been secretly accumulating strength and wanted to have a showdown with the Xiaoyao Sect. The Tang Sect is powerful and the Xiaoyao Sect is alone. If they are really facing each other, the Xiaoyao Sect will definitely suffer a big loss. What's more, Tian Shilie, the top disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, doesn't know the danger at all.
Tian Shilie didn't find any useful clues, so he went to sit in a restaurant. For convenience, Tian Shilie sat at a table next to the balcony on the second floor, where he could overlook every move on the street.
But as soon as he arrived at the restaurant, several people from the world suddenly whispered something, and then left in a hurry.
"What are they talking about?" Tian Shilie asked himself, finally feeling that something was wrong.
Tian Shilie ordered a few side dishes and a pot of soju, and drank it himself.
Opposite him, there was a man wearing a bamboo hat. The bamboo hat was worn very low, covering his entire face.
"This man is either a gangster or a fugitive. Otherwise, why wouldn't he dare to see people in broad daylight?" Tian Shilie sighed to himself.
Just when Tian Shi Lie thought this, he suddenly found that the man glanced at him secretly. Tian Shilie thought to himself, "Does he know what I'm thinking?" Just as he was thinking this, the man suddenly looked at him again. Tian Shilie felt unhappy and thought something was going to happen, so he dropped his chopsticks and shouted: "Waiter, check out."
"Sir, you haven't made much use of the food and wine, so why are you leaving now?" The waiter looked at the food with a pity, so he said something casually.
"I have something urgent and I need to leave immediately." After saying that, he threw the money to the waiter and planned to leave.
"Yes! If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Your Excellency left in such a hurry, maybe you did something wrong." The man wearing a bamboo hat suddenly said in a mocking tone.
"What do you mean by your words? I, Tian Shilie, have always been upright. Why do I dare to show my regrets to others?" Tian Shilie didn't find his son, and he was originally worried. When he heard others mocking him, he suddenly became angry. Burn, asked sharply.
"You know whether you have done something wrong or not, so why need others to tell you." The man wearing a hat still speaks with a gun and a stick.
"If Ming people don't do secret things, what bad things have I done? You should tell me," Tian Shilie said, suppressing the anger in his heart.
