174 Rumors in the City
“You… What kind of evil spell did you use?” Zhang Aochuan stood up from his chair, trembling.
However, the arrogance and killing intent from before vanished into thin air with Qin Huai’s low shout.
The surrounding people held their breaths and looked at Qin Huai.
“Whether it is an evil spell or not is not important. The important thing is…” Qin Huai sat on the chair and said calmly, “If I can make you sit down, I can take your head.”
Zhang Aochuan opened his mouth, but no words came out. He looked at the man in front of him, his heart filled with fear. Until now, he still did not know what had happened to him just now.
Pa, pa, pa …
“As expected of the man that Sister Shaoxiang has taken a fancy to.” Zhang Haoyue clapped his hands. He looked at Qin Huai with a complicated gaze, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
“Humph! I told you long ago that my brother-in-law is not someone a small fry like you can deal with.” Li Buhu’s face was flushed red.
It was even better than him winning personally. Who would dare to doubt their own judgment now? Brother-in-law’s low shout could even shock an eighth refinement martial artist. Even Zhang Haoyue could not do it.
“Everyone, we’re all fellow disciples. Don’t let a small matter hurt our harmony.” Zhang Haoyue patted Zhang Aochuan’s shoulder. “Aochuan, you’ve always been hot-tempered. If I’m not wrong, you were the one who started it, right? ”
He could feel Zhang Ao’s qi and blood. It was very stable, not like some kind of hidden force.
Was it poison? But how did he do it in front of everyone? Strange… There was indeed something strange about Qin Huai.
“Aochuan, apologize to Brother Qin.”
“What?!” When Zhang Aochuan heard this, his expression changed. However, he met Zhang Haoyue’s kind gaze and was speechless.
“I’m sorry!” He cupped his fists at Qin Huai. Then, he sat down quietly.
The surrounding crowd did not dare to scowl at Qin Huai anymore. They lowered their heads and didn’t even make eye contact with Qin Huai.
As for Qin Huai, he was calm and collected. He silently tasted the wine of the Green Feather Tower.
He had brought the poison here because he wanted to avoid bloodshed. It was definitely impossible for him to poison someone to death in front of everyone.
However, it was still easy to scare them away. He did not want to expose his trump cards and moves on such an occasion.
“Alright, I believe that many of you already know why everyone has been called here today.” Zhang Haoyue glanced at Qin Huai, then turned to face the crowd.
He slowly walked to the side of the hollow attic fence.
On the ceiling, a feather-shaped wooden tray hanging from a metal chain slowly descended, and Zhang Haoyue stepped on it.
He slowly descended to the center, and everyone in the building could be seen. For a moment, everyone looked at the number one person of the Nine Dragons sect.
“Everyone, let me explain the purpose of our gathering here today.
“Half a month ago, we found many rumors in the city. They said that the disciples of the Nine Dragons sect had taken advantage of the chaotic tide to kill ordinary people and even itinerant martial artists in the surrounding towns and villages.
“The Nine Dragons sect has placed great importance on this matter. We sent three teams of disciples to investigate, but there was no news.
“Since then, more and more disciples from small dojos in other towns have been killed. It is said that there are traces of the use of the changqi formula.
“Furthermore, there have been cases of Nine Dragons sect disciples being hunted down in recent days!”
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar upstairs and downstairs. They were killing the disciples of the Nine Dragons sect? This kind of thing was simply unheard of!
“Who is it? How dare they be so arrogant?!”
“Even the county governor and the Twin Extreme sect wouldn’t dare to do this. This is simply a public provocation!”
“Offending my Nine Dragons sect… What benefits do those people have?”
All kinds of voices rose and fell, discussing the whole story.
When Qin Huai heard this news, he also felt that it was a little ridiculous. Killing a Nine Dragons Sect disciple, did he have the guts of a bear or a leopard?
Didn’t they know that the Nine Dragons sect was backed by the True Path sect? If they were really forced to invite an important figure from the main True Path sect over, would the other party still be able to live?
“Is there any news from the sect?” someone asked.
“The sect master and the elders have two guesses,” Zhang Haoyue said. “Firstly, it was the traitor of the Nine Dragons sect thirty years ago… The original Elder Zhang Can did not die after falling off the cliff. Now, he has come back and persuaded those disciples to rebel. He wants to take revenge on the sect. ”
“Zhang Can? Who is that person?” Qin Huai looked at Li Buhu.
“That person’s matter is a little ridiculous. He was originally a pillar of the Zhang family. However, because he fell in love with the county governor’s daughter, he secretly sent information to the county governor’s manor as a bargaining chip to pursue his daughter.
“However, in the end, he was chased by the elders of the sect and fell from a ten-thousand-meter-high mountain. His life and death are unknown.”
When Li Buhu mentioned this person, his eyes were filled with disdain. Using the sect’s information to pursue the county governor’s daughter was indeed absurd.
“Young Master, did the two of them end up together?” a disciple from the fourth branch asked.
Li Buhu’s expression became even stranger. “It’s said that they didn’t even hold hands until Zhang Can fell off the cliff.”
“Ah?” The few of them immediately sighed. “What kind of elder is this? What a loss.”
“The sect has so much important information, but they didn’t even let them hold hands once…” Qin Huai couldn’t help but shake his head.
The world was truly full of wonders. If that was the case, the grudge between the Nine Dragons sect and the county governor’s mansion was not small.
“Of course, I think the possibility of this happening is very small.” Zhang Haoyue interrupted their discussion. “The second possibility is that the people from the Sacred Heart sect have started to cause trouble in Lingjiang.”
