Everyone was shocked. The Wuhuo Gang and the Caiyun Society were quite powerful. Because they were adjacent to the Thorn Gate territory, there had been constant friction over the years. The old sect leader was poisoned a few days ago. I don't know who leaked the news. The two gangs gathered manpower at the foot of the mountain a few days ago. Today, when they saw Agarwood knocking in the door alone, they thought the time was right, so they took advantage of the chaos to kill him.
Although it is a crisis, some people are secretly happy: Let's see what the new sect leader can do.
Feng Yaogang wanted to explain the ins and outs of the Wuhuo Gang and the Caiyun Society, but unexpectedly Agarwood spoke first.
"What's your name?" This was said to Xiong San.
Xiong San replied: "I don't have a big name, but my nickname is Xiong San."
"Okay," Chen Xiangzhi gave the order, "Xiong San, you bring a few clever helpers to guard the body of the old gate master. Others, follow me to the gate."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to comment, he walked straight to the door.
The gate of the Thorn Gate was closed tightly, and there were constant shouts and curses outside the door.
Feng Yao followed Shen Xiangzhi, introducing Wuhuo Gang and Caiyun Society in a low voice as he walked.
"Sect Master, do you know about Wuhuo Gang and Caiyun Club?"
Agarwood replied: "I know, but it's not popular."
"Yes, it is indeed a ragtag group of people. But... there are also many good players."
Agarwood nodded and loudly ordered: "Open the door."
The door opened, and there was a crowd of people standing outside. Feng Yao estimated that there were more than 200 people.
The entry requirements for the Thorn Sect are very strict, and the old sect master has very high standards for selection. This also led to the fact that although the Thorn Sect had a good reputation, its population was not prosperous. In addition, the Songshan sect held a martial arts conference some time ago. Seven or eight masters from the sect attended the conference and have not returned yet. This makes people even more stretched.
As the door opened, the yelling stopped.
A gray-haired one-eyed old man on the opposite side shouted to the people at Thorn Gate: "Where is Qiao Fei?! Let him come out! The old man has something to do with him!"
Feng Yao explained in a low voice: "This person is the leader of the Caiyun Society, Wu Tianming. That eye was blinded by the old sect leader."
Agarwood Branch didn't respond. I didn't know which spring on the umbrella handle was pressed, and a bunch of long steel thorns came out from the front part of the umbrella handle. She pressed the steel thorn against the floor tile on her left side, slid it from left to right, and drew a semicircle. There was a sharp friction sound, and a string of fire appeared.
The person on the other side was a little confused. Didn't this woman break into the Thorn Gate just now? Why are you standing with the Thorns disciples again?
Agarwood said in a deep voice: "I am the new sect leader of the Thorn Sect, Agarwood. If you have anything, you can tell me."
"With you?" Wu Tianming said disdainfully, "Girl, you have no right to speak here, let Qiao..."
Before he finished speaking, Agarwood interrupted directly: "If you can't make sense, just fight."
The Thorn Sect also broke out in a cold sweat. Although they were not afraid of death, the new sect leader didn't even say a word of truth and just started fighting?
The other side was also confused. In fact, news came just now that Qiao Fei was dead. They expected that there would be chaos inside the Thorn Gate at this time, so they dared to attack. Who would have expected that Cheng Yaojin would appear on the way. Judging from the face of this girl, she did not look like someone who was easy to get along with. Although we have a large number of people, it is not certain who will suffer the loss when facing the Thorn Sect.
Seeing no one spoke for a long time, Chen Xiangzhi asked: "To fight or not to fight?"
Feng Yao secretly admired the new sect leader's methods for cutting through the mess quickly. He must not show weakness at this time.
Agarwood took a step forward and said: "Fight alone, or attack in groups, it's up to you. I am the only one in Thorn Gate, one person and one umbrella. Don't you dare to fight?"
Even the Thorn Sect felt that the new sect leader was a bit too arrogant.
Wu Tianming grinned and said conspiratorially: "Pretending, Hua Feng!"
"Here!" A man carrying a steel gun stepped forward.
"Since Master Shen is the master of the fight, Xiaohua, please speak to Master Shen on my behalf."
"yes!"
Hua Feng walked up to the agarwood branch, shook his gun, held the tail of the steel gun with one hand, raised the gun to the level of his arm, pointed at the agarwood branch and said, "Master Shen, please."
Then there was a flash of white light, and neither party saw clearly the movements of the agarwood branches, they only felt a gust of wind blowing. After the wind stopped, the two dueling men were still standing on the same spot. The difference was that Agarwood held an arm in his left hand, and the severed arm was still holding a spear.
There was no expression on Agarwood's face, as if she hadn't moved.
When Hua Feng saw the severed arm in Chen Xiangzhi's hand, he realized that it was his own arm, and he felt intense pain in an instant. Hua Feng held his broken arm and kept wailing.
The Thorn Sect understands why the new sect leader is so arrogant, because she has the capital to be crazy. Or, for Chen Xiangzhi, this is not madness at all, but just a unilateral and natural decision on her part. At this time, they understood again that the agarwood branches that had just hit the mountain gate and only repelled them without hurting anyone were the greatest mercy.
Agarwood said coldly: "What's the rush? I haven't followed the rules yet."
She paused and continued: "Fight alone, win out of three, no matter life or death. If we attack in groups, either I will die, or you will all die."
Hua Feng was still lying on the ground wailing, and Wu Tianming was dumbfounded. He is seventy-three years old and has been in the world for more than fifty years. He has never seen such a movement, and he has never even thought about it.
"By the way," Chen Xiangzhi added, "you only have these two choices, there is no third option. Today, there is no reconciliation."
For a while, no one answered.
Agarwood threw the severed arm on the ground and looked at the crowd in front of her coldly.
The arrogance just now disappeared all of a sudden.
There are some good players in Caiyunhui and Wuhuo Gang, but they are simply not good enough among top-notch experts. The strength shown by Shen Xiangzhi now is probably far beyond that of ordinary masters. Maybe this woman is already in the top ten. No one saw the move just now, and it was a serious injury. This kind of strength is beyond the reach of these little shrimps.
Go together? If it were not for this woman, there would still be some chance of winning together, but now with such a top expert, I am afraid it will be lost.
Agarwood took two steps forward and lightly kicked Hua Feng in the chest. Hua Feng flew backwards on the ground. Everyone quickly got out of the way. Hua Feng flew about ten meters before stopping. The wailing stopped, and it looked like he had passed out.
"Forget it," Agarwood said, "I'll help you choose. Let's go together."
After saying this, without waiting for anyone to object, he rushed into the crowd with an umbrella in hand. There was a loud noise from the Wuhuo Gang and Caiyun Society, and the people in the front row hurriedly responded to the enemy. As a result, they were killed by Agarwood Branch and the position was thrown into chaos.
After that incident eighteen years ago, the world has been stable for eighteen years, and vendettas and grievances have been greatly reduced. Most people in the world have never seen real fighting. These rabble-rousers had never had a chance to fight against a master in their entire lives, and now they were suddenly faced with a murderer like Chen Xiangzhi, and more than 200 people were defeated in the battle.
In the space of half a cup of tea, Wuhuo Gang and Caiyun Hui dispersed like birds and beasts. Although they escaped quickly, they still left a dozen bodies behind.
The Thorny Sect's shock at the beginning also turned into a huge shock. After so many years of wandering in the world, they finally understood what it meant to chop melons and vegetables.
The smoke and dust of the Wuhuo Gang and Caiyun Society members had not yet dispersed, and Agarwood Branch stood quietly among several corpses.
She turned around slowly, and everyone in the Thorn Gate could clearly see her eyes, which were cold, indifferent, and without any excitement.
Agarwood said to everyone: "Send someone to clean up the body, and Master Feng."
"My subordinate is here." Feng Yao also acted calmly.
"Deploy the mourning hall, recruit yin and yang students, count the days when the old sect master will be buried, and send people to all the major sects to deliver messages and invite them to attend the funeral. From now on, everyone from the outer sect will be recalled, and no one from the inner sect will go down the mountain unless necessary, for the sake of the old man. The master of the house observes filial piety."
Feng Yao replied: "Yes."
Chen Xiangzhi thought for a while, and then said: "Find two clever disciples in the sect, go to Wuhuo Gang and Caiyun Club, and ask them to apologize and compensate."
Acting vigorously and resolutely, less than an hour after everyone saw the agarwood branch, the impression of decisive killing has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The old sect master did not find the wrong person. But everyone still murmured in their hearts: Who is this agarwood branch? This kind of skill would take thirty years to master. Handling things neatly and neatly is not what young people do well. Why are there no rumors about this kind of person in the world?
In the past eighteen years, Chaolan Valley has not been isolated from the world in the true sense. Although everyone in Changfeng Tower is farming with peace of mind, some necessary supplies still need to be transported in from outside the valley. In the second year after entering the valley, Mo Changfeng ordered people to build a secret passage on the west side of the valley. Of course, people in the Chaolan Valley will not leave the valley. The needed supplies are sent by the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau outside Luoyang City. To be on the safe side, the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau only comes twice a year.
The carriage had just left Chaolan Valley, and the morning sun in June was quite fierce. Due to the special terrain of Chaolan Valley, summer in the valley is not hot. The three girls had grown up in the valley. It was the first time they felt the heat that could ignite people, and they were all a little uncomfortable for a while.
"It's so hot," Amber said weakly, "Why didn't anyone tell us it's so hot outside the valley?"
Jade said angrily: "How far have you come out? Are you starting to complain?"
Li Fenglan didn't speak after leaving the valley, but quietly looked at the map in her hand, which Mo Changfeng gave to them before leaving the valley.
Li Fenglan murmured: "Thirty miles south of the valley, Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, one hundred miles, Luoyang City. Well..."
Jade heard what she said and asked, "Shall we go to Zhenyuan Escort Agency first?"
"Yes," Li Fenglan replied, "Old Mo has already sent a letter to Liu Fei Ge, the head escort, telling him that we are coming. We need to go to the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau to find out some things."
"What's up?"
"Jianghu affairs... Changfeng Tower has been hiding in Chaolan Valley for eighteen years. Although Liu Biaotou sends us some news every year, it is always too one-sided."
Thirty miles is not a long journey. It will be almost noon and the journey will be over.
This place is called Nantun Town. Because it is next to Luoyang City, it is quite prosperous. The Huwei Escort Agency where Liu Escort Head is located is here.
Entering the town, Feicui stopped a passerby and asked, "Excuse me, how to get to Zhenyuan Escort Agency?"
The man took one look at the jade and felt astonished. There are many people traveling from north to south in this small town, but this is the first time I see a beautiful girl driving the car. I am afraid the person sitting in the car is not a fairy.
The man was stunned for a while and replied: "Go forward and pay attention to the left side of the road. Their archway is big and you can see it at a glance."
Jade responded: "Thank you."
Not long after, when they arrived at the entrance of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, the three girls jumped out of the carriage. At this time, the old concierge of the escort agency saw them and immediately came over to greet them.
"Are the three girls from the valley?" The old man smiled with a smile on his face, but his voice was deliberately low.
Li Fenglan replied: "Yes."
"Come in with me."
The three of them followed the concierge into the Huwei Escort Agency. As soon as they entered, the concierge closed the door. In the hall directly in front, an old man and a middle-aged man walked down the steps quickly. The three middle-aged people know each other, Liu Biaotou, who goes to Chaolan Valley twice a year.
The smile on escort leader Liu's face was exactly the same as that of the old concierge, and the same as that of the girl who welcomed the door.
"Oh my," Guard Liu said happily, "I just received the message from the original poster yesterday, and you are here today."
Amber ran to escort Liu and said affectionately: "Uncle Liu! Long time no see!"
Bouncer Liu said: "This girl Hubo has grown taller again."
Only then did he realize that there was an old man beside him, and he hurriedly introduced him: "Head of the family, these are the three girls sent from the valley. Li Fenglan, Zhou Feicui, and Amber. Girls, this is our head of the family, Li Changnian."
Li Fenglan was rarely serious and bowed in a formal manner: "I have met Mr. Li."
Li Changnian seemed a little unhappy, and the corners of his mouth drooped.
Li Fenglan was a little puzzled and glanced at Biao Liu head secretly.
Captain Liu smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's talk in the room."
After leading the three girls into the back hall, Li Changnian sat down on a chair and finally spoke.
"Hmph!" It seemed that he was very angry, "What does the host think? Let the three yellow-haired girls come out!"
Li Fenglan was relieved, it turned out to be because of this.
Liu Biaotou hurriedly said: "Master, please calm down. I know these three girls. Feng Lan is very smart, no worse than those Bai Sangong and Chen Zi. Not to mention Jade and Amber, our young man from the Escort Agency None of them can beat them."
"What's the use of being able to fight!" Li Changnian was still angry, "Have you been through the Jianghu? Have you ever played with those old foxes? I think the poster is stupid in the valley!"
Li Fenglan could tell that although Mr. Li was not forgiving, he was very concerned about the affairs of Changfeng Tower and had no ill intentions towards the three juniors. He simply complained that Mo Changfeng sent three The girl came out to die. After all, Li Changnian was a hidden member of Changfeng Tower scattered around the world, and Mo Changfeng could trust him. What Mo Changfeng didn't care about the most was the attitude of his subordinates. If he could get things done, he could just scold Mo Changfeng in his ears.
Li Fenglan smiled and said: "Master Li... No, Grandpa Li, you don't have to be so angry. I have to go out of the valley this time."
Li Changnian stared at Li Fenglan and asked, "Tell me about it."
Li Fenglan repeated what she had said to Mo Changfeng the day before, and added: "Old Mo was poisoned without being noticed. If I don't come out of the valley, the next poison may kill him." .”
Although what he said was reasonable, Li Changnian still couldn't convince himself to accept this statement and said: "Okay, you have to do it. But... why don't you find some reliable helpers? Where is Chen Yi? Where is Fu Yanhe?"
Li Fenglan explained: "Didn't I say that Lao Mo is also afraid of a head-on war between Jianghu people. Although there are many agencies in the valley, if the martial arts people really want to attack with all their heart, we can't handle it. Therefore, the elite of Changfeng Tower must stand still."
Li Changnian knew that he had no excuse, so he stood up and said to Jade and Hubo: "You two, fight with me."
This surprised the other four people in the room. Li Changnian looked to be in his sixties, with white hair and beard, but he had a loud voice, steady and powerful steps, and his kung fu should be good.
Liu Biaotou hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Master, please say goodbye. The three girls have just arrived. It's dinner time again. Let's talk about it after dinner."
"no!"
After saying that, he quickly walked to the yard. There was no way, so the four of them had to follow him out.
Li Changnian pointed at Amber and said, "You come first."
Amber had not understood the situation since she entered the room. Before she could say a few words, she was pulled out to fight. My brain didn't keep up, but my body couldn't help but walk towards the courtyard.
Liu Biaotou pulled Hu Hu and whispered: "Girl Hu Hu, let me tell you..."
"Shut up!" Li Changnian scolded Mr. Liu.
I have no choice but to shut up.
When Amber regained consciousness, she found herself standing in the middle of the yard. In front of her was an old man rolling up his arms and sleeves. He was so angry that he looked like someone had bullied his granddaughter.
Amber asked blankly: "Grandpa Li, do we... want to fight?"
Li Changnian pointed to the weapon rack and said to Hu Hu: "Yes, let's pick a weapon."
Li Fenglan asked Liu Biaotou in a low voice: "Uncle Liu, what did you want to say to Amber just now?"
Liu Biaotou held his forehead and said: "I want to tell Amber to be gentler...the old man...his kung fu is very poor."
Over there, Amber picked out a short knife, turned it in his hand, and found it handy.
Li Changnian took a long-handled axe.
Li Changnian asked loudly: "Girl, are you ready?"
"Okay, take action."
Amber likes to compete with others, mainly because no one in Chaolan Valley can beat her except Mo Changfeng, Chen Yi, and Feicui. This girl likes the feeling of winning.
"Okay!" The old man shouted, raised his ax and struck at Amber. Apparently, he didn't hold anything back.
Po felt a little strange: This old man looks like a master, why is he so sloppy in his moves? Like a kid who just started practicing martial arts. Could it be that he is hiding his clumsiness?
Amber did not hide or parry, but stretched out his left hand and lightly patted the side of the ax - and the ax came out of his hand.
The three girls were all stunned, mainly because they had never seen such a good person. Bouncer Liu still held his forehead and couldn't bear to look at it, because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stop laughing. I have seen the master compete with others for more than 20 years, and I have never seen him win. The reason why I stopped him just now was not because I was afraid of hurting my temper, but because I was afraid that the old man would be embarrassed.
Li Changnian looked at the flying ax and was stunned for a long time, then laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Good kung fu! Good kung fu!"
Amber Heart said, I didn't do anything.
Li Changnian pointed at Jade and asked Amber: "Which one of you two is better at martial arts?"
Amber replied: "Sister Jade is tall."
Li Changnian waved his hand and said, "There's no need to compete! Hahaha, you two seem to be much better than Fu Yanhe!"
In fact, the old man didn't even know whether they were better than Fu Yanhe, he was just pretending to be experts. But luckily, he tricked me.
Li Changnian asked Jade: "Girl, I want to ask you, who is better, you or Chen Yan?"
Jade shook her head: "I can't beat my mother."
"Your mother?" Li Changnian pondered for a while, "What?!"
The three girls were stunned again. Why was this old man acting like a jerk?
Liu Biaotou on the other side no longer held his forehead, but instead covered his eyes: It's over, I can't hide it anymore.
Li Changnian thought for a while and asked: "Your surname is Zhou, your father...isn't Zhou Xiao?"
"It's my father."
"I'm so angry!" The old man got angry again, "God damn Zhou Xiao!"
Hearing someone scolding his father, Feicui was very angry. Liu Biaotou over there quickly explained: "Jade girl, listen to me... your father back then, oh, let's put it this way. The head of the family had a daughter, and his daughter was instantly recognized by him at a glance. I fell in love with your father, and the head of the family agreed... Then something like that happened eighteen years ago..."
"Liu Yafeng!" Li Changnian yelled at escort Liu, "You already knew that, didn't you?!"
"Yes..." Liu Biaotou had no choice but to reply, "My boss, Zhou Xiao and Chen Yan are consensual, so don't mention it. Besides, the eldest lady has been married for fifteen years. Even if Zhou Xiao is not married, you are still What can I do?"
The old man closed his eyes and thought for a while, then laughed loudly: "Hahaha! It doesn't matter! Chen Yan is still better than my daughter! Let's not talk about it! Eat! Eat!"
