Inside the Tianxiahui headquarters.
Yan Xiong sat in the main seat, and in front of him, Xu Zhou was kneeling on the ground.
Looking at Xu Zhou kneeling on the ground in front of him, Yan Xiong pondered for a while.
He had to think carefully about whether he had a chance of success if he took action.
Or maybe he'll get into big trouble.
This is not a game world where you fight monsters and level up.
Any decision he makes will determine the future direction of Tianxiahui and himself.
After thinking for a while, he finally decided to take action.
There are two reasons for taking action.
First, even though Xu’s company was being targeted, it didn’t mean they were doomed.
They just haven't exerted their strength yet.
Yan Xiong didn't believe that the Xu's Trading Company, which had a seventh-rank warrior in charge, would be unable to deal with the Jiuhuang Village, which might have an eighth-rank warrior.
The reason why Xu Zhou knelt down and begged him for help was simply because Xu's Trading Company was too far away from here, and he was worried that something might happen to Xu Sheng, the young master of Xu's Trading Company.
That's why he came to Yan Xiong for help.
If Xu's reinforcements arrived and found that Yan Xiong did not come to their rescue, the situation would be embarrassing.
Although Yan Xiong had no obligation to take action.
But the two parties are allies after all. If the news of not helping an ally in danger were to get out, the Tianxiahui would definitely be ridiculed by their fellow martial artists.
Although Yan Xiong does things unscrupulously, he does not want to be labeled as a traitor.
Although there are some rumors about him now because of his rebellion against Huang Song.
But the truest truth in the world is that the strong are respected.
Yan Xiong is stronger than Huang Song, and it is normal for him to be unwilling to be inferior to him.
Most people in the martial arts world commented on this matter, saying that Yan Xiong was a ruthless and tyrannical character, and did not accuse him of being treacherous.
But it’s different here with Xu’s Trading Company.
The Tianxiahui and Xu's Trading Company signed a blood alliance.
It would be hard to just watch someone die without helping.
And the second reason.
Yan Xiong wanted to take this opportunity to swallow up Jiuhuang Village.
Jiuhuang Village is located two hundred miles east of Sand City.
It is not far from Zhuxiao City.
If we capture this place, we can not only add many capable combat personnel to the Tianxia Association, but also use this place as a springboard to provide assistance to Bu Jingyun in Zhuxiao City.
In addition, the reward promised by Xu Zhou was also one of the reasons why he was willing to take action.
"You should get up! My Tianxiahui and your Xu's Company are allies, and Xu Sheng is the one who brought our two companies together. How can I ignore him when he is in trouble?"
Yan Xiong said this in a decisive tone.
In his words, he described himself as a chivalrous man who valued friendship and loyalty.
You know what, these words really moved Xu Zhou.
"Boss Yan, I thank you on behalf of my young master and the president!"
Xu Zhou saluted with red eyes.
“That’s not necessary, this is what I should do.
You are tired from the journey, go down and rest for a while, I will go to gather the people, in order to avoid any trouble, we will set out tonight!"
Yan Xiong stood up and said.
"I understand!"
Xu Zhou stood up and followed a maid to rest.
Yan Xiong did not delay. After Xu Zhou left, he immediately sent someone to inform Asan, asking him to leave a small number of people to guard the silver mine and withdraw everyone else.
Mining is a tedious task that requires not only a variety of tools and labor, but also surveying the best location for mining.
All of these require a lot of time to complete.
Now that this kind of thing has happened, Yan Xiong doesn't want to leave too many people there.
Anyway, the mines won’t grow legs and run away.
As long as the Tianxiahui still exists, no one can move away the mine located on the edge of the Sand City.
Therefore, Yan Xiong planned to solve Xu Sheng's problem first, and then arrange people to mine.
An hour later.
The World Conference Hall.
Yan Xiong sat at the top, leaning on the head of the chair which was coated with a layer of gold powder, and looked down.
For several months, the Tianxiahui has been fighting non-stop.
But there was no feeling of weakness at all.
On the contrary, due to the continuous recruitment, the power of Tianxiahui is now truly comparable to the power to rule a city.
"Jin Sheng, you have just joined our Tianxia Club and are unfamiliar with many things. You should follow Niu Kui on this trip!"
Yan Xiong first looked down at a man with an ordinary face.
This man's name is Jin Sheng.
He was once a ninth-rank wanderer in the martial arts world. After hearing that Yan Xiong was an eighth-rank warrior and had unified Sand City, he took the initiative to join the Tianxiahui.
"I obey your orders!"
Jin Sheng stood up and clasped his fists in response.
Yan Xiong nodded, his eyes unconsciously glancing at the pair of silver rings on Jin Sheng's hands.
That is Jin Sheng’s weapon, the Silver Moon Ring.
Generally, people who use rings as weapons are also good at punching and palming.
I just don't know how good Jin Sheng's martial arts are.
After all, the current Tianxiahui is too small, and it is a good sign that a ninth-rank warrior has taken the initiative to join.
So when he joined the gang, Yan Xiong only confirmed that he was a ninth-rank warrior and did not specifically test his martial arts skills.
"Feng Liu, your injury has not healed yet, so you don't need to go this time. You help Ah San to defend the Sand City, and I will take Niu Kui and Jin Sheng on the trip this time."
After talking to Jin Sheng for a few words, Yan Xiong looked at Feng Liu again.
Feng Liu was injured in the battle outside the east gate a few days ago. Now when he came to the classroom, he was still wrapped in bandages.
"I obey your orders!"
Feng Liu nodded.
"Asan, after we leave, you should be careful. Mobei has not been peaceful recently. I suspect that the Blood Blade Sect will set its sights on Sand City.
If you encounter a strong enemy, you can retreat first, and I will deal with you when I return to the city."
Looking at Ah San, Yan Xiong gave these instructions.
It's not that he is worrying too much.
But Mobei has indeed become more and more chaotic recently.
Just this morning, the spy sent by Tianxiahui to Fancheng sent back a letter saying that the Blood Knife Sect had directly taken away the Shahai Sect's mine in Fancheng.
Now the two sides have been fighting each other.
Fancheng is not far from Shacheng, so it is possible that it will be affected.
That's why Yan Xiong specifically gave such instructions.
Sand City is the only territory of the Tianxiahui, and it must not be lost.
However, as long as there are still people in the Tianxiahui and Yan Xiong is still here, the Tianxiahui will not fall.
If we really encounter an invincible enemy, it is feasible to let Asan evacuate temporarily.
Of course, all this was just Yan Xiong's preparation for a rainy day.
He didn't believe that the Blood Knife Sect was so powerful that they would have the energy to come to the remote Sand City to cause trouble after being attacked by several major sects.
"Don't worry, Boss. I will definitely protect Sand City."
Ah San nodded.
"Okay, gather the people and let's go!"
Yan Xiong stood up.
When it gets dark.
A large number of Tianxiahui gang members rode their horses and rushed out of the city.
The wilderness was extremely flat and vast, with few obstacles, so even though it was night, the team's speed was still astonishing.
After running for several hours, they were getting closer and closer to Jiuhuang Village.
"Get off the horse and rest where you are!"
When they were only ten miles away from Jiuhuang Village, Yan Xiong ordered everyone to dismount and rest.
Looking back at the crowd.
This time, Yan Xiong brought out nearly 700 people in total.
They all carried swords with them, and their eyes were flashing with terrifying murderous intent.
Yan Xiong has no requirements for those who want to join the Tianxiahui, no matter what they did before.
As long as you join the gang, you must obey orders. In addition, you are not allowed to retreat when encountering a fight, unless he or the person in charge orders you to do so. If anyone retreats after a fight, the law enforcement personnel behind him can directly kill him.
