Not only Yan Liqiang noticed that there were suddenly three uninvited guests on the road ahead, but the people in the team following Yan Liqiang naturally noticed it as well.
The three men were wearing bamboo hats and blocking the road. Each of them was carrying a long sword. There was a hostility in their aura, and it was obvious that they had come with bad intentions.
Yan Qing and Yan Hong rode their horses to the front of Yan Liqiang, and had already taken out their bows. Yan Qing raised his hand and was about to shoot an arrow...
"Wait a minute..." Yan Liqiang spoke, stopping Yan Qing from shooting the arrow.
Yan Qing and Yan Hong's archery skills are extremely powerful against ordinary masters, or even those below the level of Wu Ba. However, the two people standing on the road ahead are both elders of the Sword God Sect. They are masters at the level of Ghost King, and they come well prepared. Yan Liqiang knows very well what their level of cultivation is, so Yan Qing and Yan Hong's archery skills will naturally not be of much use.
As for the remaining person, although Yan Liqiang had never seen him in the Sword Body Sect before, since he could appear here at this time and act together with the two elders of the Sword God Sect, his cultivation must be very strong.
Just by looking at the three people, Yan Liqiang knew that the Sword God Sect came this time because of the Zhu Family's matter in Yinzhou. On that day, he was furious at the Zhu Family and killed Luo Tianyu, one of the seven outstanding disciples of the younger generation of Sword God Sect, the Flying Star Sword, and the evil creature of the Ye Family. He also destroyed the cultivation of all the Sword God Sect disciples present. The two brothers of the Zhu Family had their hands cut off by him, destroying their cultivation. It would be strange if the Sword God Sect could swallow such a thing. A few months after the Zhu Family incident, the Sword God Sect finally took action.
In the Divine Realm of Heavenly Dao, Yan Liqiang is still a disciple of the Sword God Sect, a protector of the Dao, and a disciple of the Sword God Sect's leader Luqiu Mingyue. In the Sword God Sect, he has good brothers like Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng, as well as a generous person like Hall Master Su. But in reality, he and the Sword God Sect inevitably collided with each other. It was really fate that played tricks on him.
After killing Luo Tianyu that day, Yan Liqiang also asked himself if there was any other way. The final answer was no, because the behavior of Luo Tianyu and others was greedy and cruel, which completely exceeded the bottom line of Yan Liqiang's tolerance. If he could still let people like Luo Tianyu live, his Kyudo Club and everything he fought for in his hometown would fall apart, and in the future there would be countless people like Luo Tianyu who would bully him and those around him. Therefore, Luo Tianyu must die, and all the disciples of the Sword God Sect who participated in that incident must pay a sufficient price. There is no room for compromise.
As the saying goes, there are all kinds of people in the world, and a super sect like the Sword God Sect has a large number of disciples, so naturally there will be good and bad ones. God just let me meet a few scums in the Sword God Sect, so don't blame me for cleaning up the Sword God Sect.
"Whoa..." As Yan Liqiang pulled the reins and raised his hand, the entire team stopped suddenly more than forty meters away from the three people from the Sword God Sect.
Feeling the hostility from the three people in front, everyone in the team has already picked up their weapons, and they are eager to try.
"The three of you are blocking the road. It seems like you are coming for me, right?" Yan Liqiang smiled slightly, looking at the three people on the road. Seeing Liu Guiyuan again, thinking of the care and love of his master in the Tiandao Divine Realm, Yan Liqiang couldn't help feeling a little excited.
Neither Liu Guiyuan nor the woman in the bamboo hat spoke. Elder Qian sneered, "As expected of you, you are the Protector General Qi Yun. No wonder you are so domineering at such a young age. It seems that you already know where we come from?"
This Elder Qian had a long and narrow face, full of wrinkles, and an aggressive look. Yan Liqiang had very little contact with him in the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm. In total, they had only met twice, and the conversations did not exceed four sentences. In the Sword God Sect, Yan Liqiang heard that this Elder Qian was narrow-minded, greedy for money, and liked to order other disciples around and was domineering. Therefore, this person's popularity and reputation among the disciples of the Sword God Sect were not very good, and his relationship with other elders was also weak. Yan Liqiang knew why this person came, because the scumbag Feixing Sword Luo Tianyu was the proud disciple trained by this person.
Looking at Liu Guiyuan and the woman next to him, Yan Liqiang knew that in the Sword God Sect, the only thing that could allow two elders to go out together was definitely Lu Qiu Mingyue's approval. One of the seven outstanding disciples was killed, and the cultivation of more than a dozen disciples was abolished. Such a thing has not happened in the Sword God Sect for many years. When the news of the Zhu family's affairs spread to the Sword God Sect, it must have caused a huge shock in the Sword God Sect.
If the Han Empire's court was still there and the situation was not as chaotic as it is now, the Sword God Sect might not have taken such drastic measures and dared to send elders to intercept important court officials. But in this situation, martial arts sects like the Sword God Sect have also become bolder.
Liu Xitong and several officers rode their horses to Yan Liqiang's side, staring at the three people blocking the road, almost wanting to rush over. For officers like them who were born in the imperial capital, they never took gangsters seriously.
Yan Liqiang looked at the people around him and said, "You go first, go to Pingxi County first. When you get to Qiyun County, someone will naturally settle you down. You can't interfere with the things here. I will come back after I deal with these things!"
"Sir..." Yan Qing, Yan Hong, Liu Xi and the others looked at Yan Liqiang in astonishment, wanting to say something...
"What? You don't listen to me?" Yan Liqiang's face suddenly darkened.
“I dare not…” Several people lowered their heads at the same time.
"The three of them are from the Sword God Sect. They won't do anything to me. Since I'm staying here alone, I will handle it naturally. You don't need to worry!" Yan Liqiang said calmly, and then looked at the three people from the Sword God Sect, "The three of you please get out of the way. My subordinates have to go back to Qiyun County first. I'll stay here. We can solve any problems together. There's no need to involve irrelevant people. If things get too serious, I don't think you will be willing!"
Elder Qian's face turned cold, and he was about to say something, but Liu Guiyuan spoke first, in a calm tone, "Okay, these soldiers under your command can leave, but our matter has not been resolved, so you can't leave!"
"Of course I won't leave!" Yan Liqiang said, and jumped off the horse with the meteorite spear in his hand. He patted Caiyun Zhuiyue's body, handed Caiyue Zhuiyue's reins to Meng Hui, and then said to Liu Xi and others, "You guys go, remember my words, go to Qiyun County first, I will be back later!"
Liu Xi and his companions looked at Yan Liqiang, then looked at the three people from the Sword God Sect, gritted their teeth, squeezed their legs against the horses' bellies, and said, "Let's go!"
The three people from the Sword God Sect made way, and then Liu Xi and others rushed over like the wind. Almost all the soldiers who passed by gritted their teeth on horseback, and glanced at the faces of the three people from the Sword God Sect with knife-like eyes, memorizing the faces of the three people in their minds.
“Don’t think that just because the imperial court is not in the Han Empire now, we can allow you gangsters to run rampant. We don’t care what sect you are from. If your Sword God Sect dares to harm my master, we swear that one day, we will lead our troops to raze your sect to the ground!” Liu Xitong, who had rushed over, stopped his horse, turned his horse’s head, roared at this side, and then left with a group of soldiers.
Listening to Liu Xitong's words as he left, Liu Guiyuan and the woman in the bamboo hat remained calm, but Elder Qian's face suddenly became so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip from it, and his eyes when he looked at Yan Liqiang were even more unfriendly...
