"How ridiculous! Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"
Before Yan Xiong could say anything, Ah San looked at Cheng Zhi with a vicious look on his face.
Bang!
As soon as Ah San finished speaking, Cheng Zhi instantly became angry, smashed the table with his palm, stood up suddenly, and shouted:
"What! Can your Tianxiahui already ignore my Shahai Sect
Very good, it seems that the sect has tolerated trash like you, and you have already felt that my Shahai Sect is easy to bully.
Today, I will remind you why our Shahai Clan is the ruler of this land!"
After saying that, he drew the long sword from his waist and rushed forward instantly.
The reason why Cheng Zhineng is so arrogant is not entirely due to the reputation of the Shahai Sect.
Judging from the speed and strength of his sword, this guy is a ninth-grade warrior.
“Heh…” Ah San sneered.
"I was just about to teach the martial arts to the top disciple of the Sand Sea Sect!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his sleeves for no reason, leaving several afterimages in the air and hitting Cheng Zhi.
Ping pong…
The two men's bodies intertwined and they had exchanged several moves in a few breaths.
The tables, chairs and benches in the entire reception room were shattered by the shadows of sleeves and the light of swords.
“That’s enough!”
A roar was heard, and a figure instantly fell between the two men. With a punch and a palm, he directly knocked the two men who were fighting away.
"Yan Xiong, do you really want to be an enemy of my Shahai Sect?"
Cheng Zhi felt a powerful force coming and directly knocked him away.
Da da da.
After landing, the force did not decrease, and it made him retreat three steps and lean directly against the wall.
He swallowed the blood that was rising in his mouth and looked viciously at Yan Xiong who had stopped him and Asan in the field.
"Elder Zhou, what do you think
If you come here to bully our Tianxiahui, you may not get what you want.
Although I, Yan Xiong, am not very strong, I am not someone who can be bullied at will."
Yan Xiong ignored Cheng Zhi, but flicked his sleeves and turned to look at Zhou Renshou.
This moment.
His face was solemn and his hands were clenched, as if he was ready to take action.
From the beginning to the end, Yan Xiong had no intention of being humble in front of the Shahai Sect.
Ever since he started playing Xiongba, he has figured out some rules of acting.
These rules are that he can play tricks on his enemies, be ruthless, and even pretend to be harmless when the enemy is strong and he is weak.
But there was one thing he couldn't do.
That means being humble to others.
Xiongba has been a proud man from beginning to end.
His proud character would not allow him to be humble to others.
Therefore, facing Cheng Zhi's arrogance, Yan Xiong did not stop Asan from taking action.
If there is one person in this world who knows him best, it must be Asan.
So, after seeing Cheng Zhi's disgusting and arrogant attitude, Asan directly fought back, and after Cheng Zhi took action, he chose to take action without hesitation.
And Yan Xiong needs exactly this effect.
He wanted to tell Zhou Renshou that he, Yan Xiong, was not someone who could be bullied.
Zhou Renshou stared at Yan Xiong steadily.
After a while, he said:
"Cheng Zhi, apologize to Gang Leader Yan!"
“Elder…” Cheng Zhi wanted to say something but stopped.
"Apologize!" Zhou Renshou narrowed his eyes.
"Yes!" Seeing that Zhou Renshou was serious, Cheng Zhi did not dare to continue to be stubborn, but bowed to Yan Xiong with a reluctant look on his face:
"Boss Yan, what happened today is my fault. Please forgive me."
"Haha! No need to do that, it's Ah San who should apologize!"
Yan Xiong laughed loudly.
"Young Master Cheng, I was impulsive just now, please forgive me!"
Ah San came over and bowed to apologize.
"Come here, ask the kitchen to prepare a banquet. I want to welcome the people from the Sand Sea Sect!"
Yan Xiong instructed the maid guarding the door.
"No need!" Zhou Renshou waved his hand and refused, saying:
"Boss Yan, I came to Sand City for two things.
The first thing is the offering from your Tianxia Association!
I wonder if your Tianxiahui would like to offer sacrifices to my Shahai Sect?"
In Border Town, Sha Hai Zong is a typical whore who is a virtuous woman.
It was obvious that all the cities were under the rule of their own sect and had to pay tribute. If they didn't, they would be destroyed.
But they still acted as if you paid the offerings willingly and were not forced by me.
In Yan Xiong's opinion, this is the kind of hypocritical righteousness in the martial arts novels of his previous life.
Yes, all sects and gangs in the world are divided into good and evil.
As for the Shahai Sect, they are a righteous sect that claims to be a famous and upright one.
Although he despised Sha Hai Zong's hypocritical behavior, Yan Xiong did not show it. Instead, he said with a smile:
"Of course, our Tianxiahui respects the Shahai Sect."
"Very good!" Zhou Renshou nodded and took out a token. "This is the token of my Shahai Sect's affiliated forces. As long as you accept the token, you must come whenever my sect calls you to come! You should know this!"
"Of course!" Yan Xiong nodded and took the token.
The so-called "must attend" when summoned by the sect means that if the Shahai Sect is fighting with other sects, or when it comes to suppressing the so-called evil demons, the affiliated forces must bring people to assist.
In the past ten years, Shahai Sect has not summoned the surrounding affiliated forces to guard against foreign enemies except for the one time when the current Sect Leader Ding Sheng succeeded to the position of Sect Leader.
However, small-scale gatherings often take place.
For example, a few years ago, several nearby cities wiped out the twelve bandits in the border town.
“The second reason I came here is to investigate the untimely death of Li Shenzhou, the son-in-law of our sect’s Elder Huang, and his family!
"Master Yan was in the Sand City at the time, do you have any clues?"
Zhou Renshou told his second story, and just as Yan Xiong had expected, it was about Li Shenzhou’s death.
Yes, Huang Yueting is the daughter of an elder in the Shahai Sect.
Their entire family is dead. In order to please Huang Yueting's father, Zhou Renshou, the garrison elder of Fancheng, must find out the murderer and take revenge.
In the Shahai Sect, elders are divided into two categories.
One type is elders like Zhou Renshou who are stationed in other places.
These elders are called elders, but they are actually just outer sect elders, and their strength is generally at the eighth rank.
The other type is naturally the inner sect elders who have been enjoying life in the sect all year round.
And the strength of this kind of elder is at least seventh rank.
The difference in power and strength between the two types of elders is huge.
"I don't know much about Mr. Li's death.
That night I happened to be involved in a fight in Huangsong, and then I had a fight with the Three Wolf Gang!
So I didn’t know what happened in the Li Mansion. By the time I found out, the Li Mansion had already been set on fire.”
Yan Xiong frowned, as if he was recalling something carefully.
"However, two nights ago, someone from the Black Sand Village suddenly broke into Sand City and blew up the ruins of the Li Mansion!"
"Heisha Village!" Zhou Renshou frowned, "Do you know why they blew up the ruins of Li's Mansion again?"
"I don't know about that, but some people in Sand City are saying that they are here to destroy the evidence!"
Yan Xiong shook his head.
Actually, there are a lot of loopholes in this matter.
For example, why did Heisha Village burn down Li’s mansion and then come back to blow it up again
For example, since they were able to wipe out Li Shenzhou's entire family quietly, why were they discovered when they were blowing up the ruins
Even Yan Xiong, the person involved, doesn't know how to explain these loopholes.
But Yan Xiong also has a way to deal with it.
That's what I don't know.
Yes, it’s just a word of I don’t know.
As long as Yan Xiong insisted that he knew nothing and Zhou Renshou could not find any evidence, he naturally could not do anything to Yan Xiong.
After all, on the surface, it is impossible for Yan Xiong to kill Li Shenzhou.
Everyone knows that Yan Xiong is a ninth-rank warrior.
If you tell others that a ninth-rank warrior could kill an eighth-rank warrior like Li Shenzhou, no one would believe it.
Of course, if anyone had the ability to think of asking the Seven Killing Palace for help, they would never have guessed that it was Yan Xiong.
Everyone knows that Qishalou takes the high-end route. Without more than 100,000 taels, it is impossible to ask them to take action.
At that time, Yan Xiong was just a small leader of the Chihuo Gang. How could he have so much money
So, this cannot be true.
Moreover, the Qishalou have always been arrogant. They usually carry out assassinations openly and after killing someone, they will throw a token at the scene in a very ostentatious manner to let people know that they were the ones who killed the person.
Something like killing someone and then burning the body to destroy the evidence is simply impossible.
Anyway, no one will know about Li Shenzhou’s death unless one of the two parties, Qishalou and Yan Xiong, personally admits it.
"Black Sand Village!" Zhou Renshou frowned, then opened his eyes and said to Yan Xiong:
"I will investigate this matter. I will be in Sand City in the next few days. I hope you can cooperate with me. If I find the murderer, I will not treat you unfairly!"
"Okay!" Yan Xiong nodded.
"In that case, we'll take our leave!"
Zhou Renshou said this and stood up.
"Will Elder Zhou live in my world if he's not here?"
Seeing him about to leave, Yan Xiong asked.
"No, I'm used to staying in an inn!"
Zhou Renshou refused.
“In that case, Elder Zhou, take care.
Ah San, go see Elder Zhou and the others off!"
…
"Elder, didn't Miss Ximei say that Master Li was killed by the Tianxia Society? How...?"
On the street, Cheng Zhi asked.
"Heh... Do you really think that this news was passed on to Ximei by those wandering fringemen?"
Zhou Renshou showed a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Yi looked confused.
"The Chu family kid's wisdom is indeed amazing. He has brought the entire brothel under his command, but he doesn't know that Ximei has fallen in love with me! Haha..."
Zhou Renshou answered the question irrelevantly and laughed as he spoke.
…
"Boss, they went to Cuiyun Tower!"
The headquarters of Tianxiahui.
Yan Xiong stood in front of the meeting room, looking at the setting sun in the sky.
Ah San came behind him and spoke.
"Everyone says that Zhou Renshou is lustful and likes to live in brothels. Now it seems that it is true!"
Yan Xiong sneered, turned around, and said:
"Send someone to follow them and do their bidding, and report back every day on what they investigate!"
"Yes!" Ah San responded.
After a pause, Yan Xiong continued, “I remember that the Shahai Sect seemed to have a so-called wanted list.
Send someone to check for those eighth- and ninth-rank warriors. If you can find their whereabouts, send them a message and tell them that Sand City is willing to take them in. "
If you want to accomplish something, you can't do it alone.
It is generally difficult to recruit experts.
Therefore, Yan Xiong planned to follow Xiong Ba's example and secretly recruit some vicious and cruel criminals who were wanted by everyone in the world.
Just like the Twelve Evils of Tianchi.
Someone has to do the dirty work.
"Yes! I'll have someone check it out right away!"
…
