Chapter 443: Turbulence
When the time for the official banquet arrived, Mr. Long, as the host, naturally had to show up.
Mr. Long walked into the banquet, still wrapped in the animal skin cloak, making him look particularly thin. Behind him was his adopted son Long Zhanfeng.
With the appearance of Mr. Long, the helmsmen stood up one after another, clasped their fists and raised their hands to show their respect for this first man on the sea.
"I've met Mr. Long!"
"I've met Mr. Long!"
The sounds came and went.
The same is true for Lei Yanpao and Wudang Wei. They had more or less inherited the affection of Mr. Long in the past.
Hao Taigu stood up, saluted Mr. Long, and said loudly: "I haven't seen him for many years. Mr. Long is as healthy as ever. It's really enviable!"
"It's Hao Taigu. I wonder if you still remember the old man. Haha, if you want to be healthy, you have to know how to let go. Without so many worldly things, this person's life will be easier." Mr. Long said angrily. replied.
Sun Buer also spoke: "It is rare to see people as transparent as Mr. Long."
"Oh? You are that boy from the Zhou family, right? I didn't expect that after more than ten years I haven't seen you, but you are also one of the elders in the Seven Star Palace. Not bad, not bad, you will have a formidable future!" Elder Long said with a smile.
He has lived for too long, and he has met too many people whether it is the sea, the divine sect, or the Zhenwu Hall.
Some people were still in their infancy when we first met them, but after more than ten years or decades, the scenery is completely different.
While chatting and laughing with everyone, Mr. Long sat down in the middle of the seat. He glanced at his right hand and said thoughtfully: "Isn't Zhenwu Hall planning to have people come today?"
Some things are secret before the incident, but no matter how hidden they are after the incident, they are still in the eyes of everyone.
The night attack on Zhenwutang's ship last night has spread wildly in the ears of all the helmsmen today.
"On such a big day as the sea gathering, how could the Zhenwu Hall not be there?"
I heard a loud voice coming from outside the table, and everyone looked around. A fair-skinned young man wearing Zhenwutang attire and a sword on his waist walked towards him, with a long-lost shy smile on his lips.
Hao Taigu looked at the young man with a smile on his face. Sun Buer's eyes were a bit chilly, and Qiu Shu's eyes couldn't suppress the anger. The God's cult was beaten in the face that day, and this young man had something to do with it.
When they arrived at the banquet, Yi Xifeng clasped his fists and saluted Mr. Long, and said respectfully: "Junior Li Chengtao, I have heard Mr. Long's name for a long time. When I meet him today, he is worthy of being the 'real Dragon King with the storms in all directions and the churning sea'!"
When this person is old, he is used to being called "old" to show respect. So when Mr. Long was in his prime, he couldn't be called "old" too, right?
Although the casual cultivators on the sea are still scattered, they still maintain a certain sense of independence. This is related to an old case from that year.
At that time, the casual cultivators on the sea had a conflict with the Zhenwu Hall because of Lingkunzhou, resulting in heavy casualties, especially on the casual cultivator side, who lost countless flags.
At this moment, another ship came from all directions, and the banner of the divine religion roared fiercely, which meant that it was chilling.
But a small boat came out gracefully and came to the main ship of the cult. The wind was surging and the waves were rising. A man stood on the bow of the boat and shouted loudly: "Today's guests are coming. Where are they from?"
Three elders from the divine sect came to fight, but they were knocked into the sea one by one by this man, with great momentum.
This person's cultivation level has reached the level of a chivalrous person in one fell swoop after repeated battles.
The elder of the previous generation of Qixing Palace stood on the boat, looking at this man from a distance. Their eyes collided, but they never started fighting.
Afterwards, the Shenjiao Tower chose to retreat, and the conflict between the Zhenwu Hall and the casual cultivators on the sea subsided, and a huge storm was resolved.
Storms are turbulent in all directions, and the sea is churning with the True Dragon King!
This is the Dragon King in his prime and the Dragon Elder in his old age.
It's a pity that if he hadn't been trapped in the capital of God's Domain, with Elder Long's qualifications, he would have already broken through to the realm of a hero, and even hoped to become a saint.
"I haven't heard the word Dragon King in twenty years, but now someone can still mention it. It feels like how many years have passed!" Mr. Long narrowed his eyes, as if he was recalling the scenes from that year.
"Long Lao is still strong. Even twenty years later, he can still calm the wind and calm the waves." Yi Xifeng said with a smile.
"Hahaha!" Mr. Long smiled happily and said: "Young people nowadays are very good at talking. Your name is Li Chengtao, which is somewhat similar to an old friend of mine. If it weren't for the age difference, maybe you and he would still be brothers. .”
Yi Xifeng smiled calmly on his face, but he couldn't help shouting in his heart: Coach Cheng Qian and Master Cheng Tao are brothers!
Elder Long suddenly asked: "I heard that the elder from Zhenwu Hall this time is Zhang Ao. Why don't we see him here today?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Xifeng showed sadness and indignation on his face, and said with red eyes: "Last night, a group of men in black took advantage of the chaos to attack the building and the ship, and there were even strong men who secretly poisoned Elder Zhang Ao. Today Cheng Tao is here Therefore, I also want to ask Mr. Long to seek justice!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole banquet was shocked, and the leaders couldn't help but whisper. Although they had heard a lot of rumors, they were still quite shocked when they confirmed it.
You must know that in previous years' sea gatherings, under the authority of Mr. Long, conflicts between various flags had to be suppressed, let alone such a life-threatening incident.
An unexplainable look flashed in Mr. Long's eyes. His tone became colder and he said: "Last night there was a lot of flooding on the sea, and someone tried to assassinate the elders of the Zhenwu Hall. It seems that someone was plotting behind the scenes, with the intention of causing harm to the sea. There is chaos! Li Chengtao, do you know who is responsible?"
Yi Xifeng glanced at the entire audience, looking at Hao Taigu, Sun Buer, and other helmsmen with different expressions, and finally said: "The perpetrators are the helmsmen of the flags at sea!"
"How can you talk nonsense!" At this time, Long Zhanfeng couldn't help but stand up and shouted: "The gathering on the sea is hosted by my father. If any casual cultivator on the sea doesn't know the rules, how can anyone try to harm the Zhenwu Hall!"
Everyone couldn't help but talk about it, but Mr. Long remained silent.
Lei Yanpao's rough voice sounded, and he said: "Li Chengtao, since you said it was the helmsman at sea who did it, do you have any evidence?"
"Of course there is evidence! Submit it!" As Yi Xifeng finished speaking, four disciples wearing Zhenwutang costumes came out of the banquet. Each of them held a square plate with both hands, and the plate was covered with black cloth. , raised in the middle.
Four square plates, four pieces of black cloth, the four disciples suddenly opened the black cloth, revealing the big human heads inside.
The expressions on each person's head were full of shock and panic before death, and they refused to rest in peace.
There was an uproar at the banquet. These four heads were the four leaders of the casual cultivator.
Yi Xifeng's cold voice continued, "The four of them are not enough to threaten Elder Zhang Ao. Another person in charge appeared on the ship last night, Wu Dang, right or not?!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wudang nodded slightly and said:
"yes!"
