Chapter 1365 – Overbearing
The streets outside the tavern were completely filled with water, the neat rows of Heavenly Awakening Sect disciples stood there solemnly. Although they did not converse loudly, everyone knew why they were summoned here so quickly.
The sect master had personally come out to support the angered disciples. This sort of thing would always make one’s heart heat up.
Although the cold winter wind made everyone on the street feel somewhat cold, their hearts were still warm.
“Sit down and eat until you’re full.”
An Zheng pressed down his hand and then pointed to the dishes on the table. “Give us one according to the rules, how many dishes are there for each of us?”
“Eight people’s worth of dishes, six fried vegetables and a stew. There is no limit to the amount of steamed buns and rice.”
“Come here six people.”
An Zheng waved his hand.
Gu Chaotong brought a few people to sit beside An Zheng, waiting for the dishes to be served.
Liang Jin Lai, who had worked under Ning Xiaolou for many years, was actually not very loyal to Ning Xiaolou. When he was assigned to be the Branch Lord of the Heavenly Awakening Sect, he was still quite happy, and felt that he was not looked down upon. But as the Heavenly Awakening Sect’s reputation grew, and as An Zheng massacred across the entire contest ground during the day, and as the people kept mentioning Ning Xiaolou, he kept feeling a little uncomfortable.
He couldn’t help but think in his heart that if it weren’t for the fact that his old tribe was helping the Heavenly Awakening Sect maintain its stability, would he, An Zheng, be able to survive in the contest ground?
But today, he knew that this trivial matter could very well ruin his future in the Yancheng. He couldn’t help but ponder in his heart about how far An Zheng wanted to go. If it was just for the sake of venting the anger of his disciple, he definitely wouldn’t have done anything to his. After all, he was the representative of Ning Xiaolou’s Old Clan. If they were to make a move on him, Ning Xiaolou’s original subordinates would not be able to sit still.
Thus, he had some confidence.
“Sovereign, you are putting us in a difficult position.”
Liang Jin thought about it for a while and felt that if he didn’t stand up for his subordinates, then who would be willing to follow him?
“Even if there is anything wrong with my attitude, I apologize for them. However, if the Sect Leader orders it this way, they will probably die of exhaustion. ”
An Zheng raised his head and glanced at Liang Jin. “Are you trying to reason with me?”
It was only a single glance, but Liang Jin could feel as if his heart had been stabbed. He didn’t know why, but he felt chills on his back and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes. As he stood there, he had the urge to kneel down. He clenched his teeth and forced himself to hold on for a while, but the feeling did not subside.
However, An Zheng only looked at him once, while Liang Jin felt like he had walked through the gates of hell.
“Master, let me apologize on behalf of my subordinate.”
Liang Jin turned around, and cupped his fists towards the Heavenly Awakening Sect disciple who had suffered a grievance before, “You should take responsibility for today’s matter. My people also aren’t intentionally targeting you, or perhaps they are truly tired. We are all members of the Heavenly Awakening Sect, so we cannot separate ourselves because of this. ”
“Are we all from the Heavenly Awakening Sect?”
An Zheng squinted, “Just now, who said something at the door, how was your Heavenly Awakening Sect?”
Liang Jin Lai’s face was pale as he said, “Sect Master, my men have done meritorious deeds, you can’t treat them like this. If it were not for them, where did the Yancheng get such a stable job? ”
“Oh.”
An Zheng nodded: “So that’s what you think. You’re planning to reason with me right … The only way to verify truth is to practice. Say, if not for you, the Yancheng would not be as peaceful and stable as we are now. Then let’s see if the Yancheng is going to be in chaos without your people. If it weren’t for you, the Yancheng would have turned into a mess.
He waved his hand, “Other than the manager and kitchen chefs in this restaurant, all of Liang Jin’s subordinates have been taken down and unarmed. From today onwards, they are no longer members of our Heavenly Awakening Sect. On the other hand, I can’t get rid of all these people in the restaurant. I’m still hungry, and the men of Heavenly Awakening Sect are hungry as well. I am a man of my word. I said, let everyone eat their fill in this shop, I must do it. If I did not do it because of me, then I came from punishment. If it’s not because of me that we haven’t all had a hot meal, then let’s find out who it is. ”
Liang Jinlei’s eyes turned red, “An Zheng, aren’t you afraid of causing any bad results by doing this?”
An Zheng: “Are you threatening me? Do you know how many people have threatened me before you? ”
Liang Jinlei’s entire body trembled as he said, “Worse comes to worse!”
“The fish will die, the net will still be fine.”
An Zheng said indifferently: “I don’t know who gave you this confidence, but to make you think that you’re so important, and make you think that I’m keeping you alive, is because I have to have you, so I’m begging you. Or is it elimination method … Gu Chaotong, send someone to inform all the people in Heavenly Awakening Sect that he was leaving, but in Ning Xiaolou’s old tribe, if they feel that they have been wronged, they can leave. If they thought that after leaving the Heavenly Awakening Sect, they would be finished, they could even stay and watch as it was over for them. I can reject the fact that there are a million warriors in Qinguan who are good at fighting, but I really can’t leave you people? ”
Liang Jin had already been forced into a dead end, and after he let out a cry, he was about to charge forward, but when he raised his foot, he was suddenly stopped. He didn’t know where the power came from, nor did he see An Zheng make a move, he only felt that his entire body was tightly bound by countless ropes, and there were even a few steel nails that were ruthlessly wedged into the ground.
He couldn’t move. He couldn’t even blink his eyes.
“The fishdeath net is broken …” You really overestimate yourself. ”
An Zheng looked at the shopkeeper and the shop assistant who were completely stunned, as well as those who stood trembling at the door.
“Go and cook, my people are full.”
Not long after, An Zheng’s table had a standard amount of dishes for a meal, six Stir-Fried Vegetables and a pot of stew. An Zheng picked up a steamed bun and picked up a mouthful of the dish, putting it into his mouth. The taste wasn’t that good, but this was simple food. Too many people have made eating no longer a meal, but a social interaction, a means.
The disciples entered in groups after groups, and left after eating their meals. However, there were still many people lining up on the street. One could not see the end of them.
Four hours. Twelve hours. Two hours … After eating, An Zheng brought Qu Liuxi and left. Liang Jin who was frozen stood there like a statue, his posture was comical and comical. He just watched on helplessly. The shop assistants were so tired that they were on the verge of collapse. As long as the customers didn’t stop eating, the kitchen would have to continue cooking while the waiters would have to clean up and wash the dishes.
The Heavenly Awakening Sect’s law enforcement team was standing around the house, there were even people in the kitchen, who dared to stop?
An Zheng madrip to Martial Arts Conference to watch the competition between the rogue cultivators. Actually, one could easily deduce a person’s character from just one move. Sitting on the high platform watching the fight, there were indeed a few youths that made his eyes light up.
Just as they were watching, dozens of people walked up from below the platform, and all of them had ugly expressions on their faces. He was clearly angry, but he held it in and didn’t dare show it. It made people uncomfortable to look at him. These people were all from Ning Xiaolou’s original old clan. Now, they were all members of the Heavenly Awakening Sect. Some people even held important positions. Most of the officials in the Yancheng were still these people.
The one who led the group was called Du Shang Yuan, he brought his men and went up to the stage, quickly approaching An Zheng and bowed, “Greetings Sect Master.”
An Zheng waved his hand: “Move to the side a little, stand in my way and watch the battle.”
Du Xiangyuan’s expression changed, but he did not dare disobey. He leaned to the side, straightened his body, and said, “I heard that Sect Master removed Liang Jin from Heavenly Awakening Sect? Your subordinate knows he shouldn’t have come to ask, but we are old colleagues, so we should do something. So we wanted to come over and ask, “What did he do wrong?”
An Zheng didn’t look at him, and said while watching: “Don’t stop, continue. I want to hear your final words.”
Du Xiangyuan was stunned for a moment. An Zheng’s attitude gave him an ominous premonition. But now that things had reached this point, there didn’t seem to be any path of retreat.
“We only wanted to ask the sect master to give him a way out. It has already been almost twelve hours, and those workers have made a mistake. However, Liang Jinlei has been locked in your inn for twenty-four hours, and his bloodline is still not working. If you don’t let him move, his blood and Qi channels might even be crippled. ”
An Zheng said, “Then let him move, he can move however he wants.”
He gritted his teeth and endured. Lowering his head, he said, “Sect Master, it was Liang Jin’s fault. Sect Master punished him. That is only natural. But we can’t just cripple him like this, if the sect head really did that, our old colleagues might feel cold in their hearts too. ”
An Zheng laughed: “You still have something to say, continue, that is not enough.”
Du Shang harrumphed in his heart, “If Sect Master is determined to kick Liang Jinping out of Heavenly Awakening Sect, then you can also go with us. We and Liang Jin are like brothers, we can’t just watch him suffer alone. ”
An Zheng nodded and replied seriously: “Sure.”
Du Xiangyuan’s heart shook, and asked An Zheng in disbelief, “Sect Master, what did you say? “Well, what do you mean?”
An Zheng waved his hand, “What are these people who have nothing to do with the Heavenly Awakening Sect doing here? Give them one day to pack up and leave the Yancheng. If they can’t leave within one day, it will be considered an illegal invasion. ”
Du Xiangyuan was stunned: “What do you mean by that!”
An Zheng raised his head and looked at him, “You shall be merciful one last time, I will give you whatever you ask for. In the future, none of you are members of the Heavenly Awakening Sect, but as long as you are still there, don’t do anything that violates the rules of the Heavenly Awakening Sect. Let’s go, by the way … “It’s only the beginning of the month, so I won’t be paying you guys your salaries.”
Du Xiangyuan angrily said, “You … You really dare to do that? ”
An Zheng’s eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was about to do something.
“I’ll count to one. If you don’t leave, I’ll have someone ask you to leave.”
“An Zheng, don’t go too far!”
“One.”
An Zheng waved his hand: “Throw them all out. Watch them, don’t take anything away. Besides the clothes they are wearing, it’s stealing to bring anything out of Yancheng. I’ll give you guys face, don’t … ”
At this moment, Du Xiangyuan’s heart was as dead as ashes.
