Chapter 563: Not Knowing How to Appreciate a Favor
Yangguan was in a bloody storm because of Hua Mancheng's arrival.
The well-informed monks naturally knew about the dirty tricks between Zhishan Sect and Hua Mancheng. Therefore, after receiving the news that Hua Mancheng had successfully entered Yangguan, these people began to secretly speculate how the sentimental young master would retaliate.
Unexpectedly, the first place to shed blood was not Zhishan Sect's station in Yangguan, but the branch of the Seven Emotions Demon Palace in Yangguan.
Overnight, not a blade of grass was left!
The next day, the Seven Emotions Demon Palace, far away in Xianyang City, formally issued the strongest protest to Zhishan Sect, meaning that Zhishan Sect failed to ambush and kill Hua Mancheng, and took its anger out on the branch of the Seven Emotions Demon Palace in Yangguan. It even cruelly killed all the outer disciples of the Seven Emotions Demon Palace in the branch, and asked Zhishan Sect to catch the murderer within three days and hand him over to the Seven Emotions Demon Palace.
The Zhishan Sect was not willing to be outdone. Not only did it deny all the accusations of destroying the Yangguan branch of the Seven Emotions Demon Palace, it also denied the ambush and killing of Hua Mancheng.
It only said that it was a personal grudge between Hua Mancheng and Yu Wushuang!
The Zhishan Sect expressed deep sympathy for the destruction of the Yangguan branch of the Seven Emotions Demon Palace, and expressed deep regret for Hua Mancheng's experience along the way, but also said that Hua Mancheng was not as skilled as others!
At the same time, Yu Wushuang led the Zhishan Sect to settle in Yangguan. As soon as she entered the gate of Yangguan, Yu Wushuang announced to the world: Hua Mancheng is welcome to seek revenge on her!
For a while, the two largest forces in Qin County were caught in a quarrel with each other...
The originally calm Yangguan became turbulent because of this.
However, these disputes in the upper class did not arouse the interest of Xiao Mian and Gui Hai at all. For these two foodies, eating a big meal was the right thing to do.
I didn't expect that even such a small wish could not be realized.
It's not that the two of them were short of money. Although Zhongzhou is famous for "high rice prices and difficult to live in a big place", Xiao Mian has accumulated a huge amount of spiritual stones along the way, so it is not difficult to have a feast at the highest-end spiritual material restaurant in Yangguan.
However, the two of them went to three spiritual wine and food restaurants in a row, but they were told that they were full. The waiters who greeted the guests at the door of the restaurant looked at them coldly, but while telling them that they were full, the waiters still warmly welcomed other cultivators to move in.
At first, the two of them had just arrived and didn't want to cause trouble. Besides, those waiters were just cultivators in the Qi training stage, and they were not worth getting angry about. However, they encountered this kind of targeted cold reception again and again. Not to mention Gui Hai, who had a hot temper, even Xiao Mian, who had always been patient, felt angry!
Finally, after being rejected for the fourth time, Gui Hai exploded!
Without saying a word, Gui Hai raised his ghost-head knife, swung it down in front of the waiter who looked down on people, and chopped it directly in front of the door of the tavern.
Amid the loud explosion, smoke and dust rolled, and the chickens and dogs were in a turmoil, it was so lively!
Anyone who could enter and exit the tavern was more or less a monk with a lot of money. Correspondingly, these monks often had some wealth, some face, and some strength.
Suddenly, three primary magic weapons flew towards Gui Hai who was committing the crime.
Grinning, Gui Hai raised the ghost-head knife upside down and chopped it over.
Fighting one against three, the ghost-head knife seemed to have inherited Gui Hai's ferocity. While slicing away two flying swords, the last attack hit the last water-dividing fork!
With a crisp sound, the knife passed through the fork and broke!
A scream came, and at the same time, the two flying swords that tried to get out before, like frightened birds, fled back to their respective owners desperately.
The smoke and dust were still flying all over the sky, but most of the people who could enter and exit the tavern were Jindan cultivators, and their spiritual perception would naturally not be blocked by the smoke and dust. Therefore, everyone inside and outside the tavern sensed the ferocity of Gui Hai and Gui Tou Dao, and for a while, no one interfered.
"You brat! How dare you destroy my magic weapon!?"
Others could stand by and watch, but the owner of the water split fork had to step out!
Dang Mao was in a bad mood today, because his brother-in-law, the leader of the branch of the Seven Emotions Demon Palace in Yangguan, who he relied on as a backer, was executed. Dang Mao's sister had died a long time ago because she could not form a pill. With the help of her deceased sister, Dang Mao climbed up to the high branch of his brother-in-law. On weekdays, few people dared to provoke him in this small piece of land in Yangguan, but now, his backer has fallen!
Compared with ordinary cultivators who are talking about the quarrels between the two big bosses of the Seven Emotions Demon Palace and the Zhishan Sect, Dang Mao naturally knows more about the hidden truth of the matter than them.
What Dang Mao feared now was whether the mastermind who had wiped out his brother-in-law's family would find him and kill him - after all, whether it was the Seven Emotions Demon Palace or the Supreme Goodness Sect, Dang Mao could never fight against them!
That's why Dang Mao was thinking about whether to leave Yangguan and go somewhere else to avoid the limelight.
However, Dang Mao was born and raised here, and he had never left Yangguan. When he thought about his life without support in the future, Dang Mao felt unhappy and even drank to drown his sorrows.
He didn't want to drink, but he couldn't feel good!
When he heard that someone was coming to the wine shop to mess up the place, Dang Mao was the first to show up, but his water-dividing fork was of poor quality, and it was the last to arrive, and it was pulled behind the other two flying swords. Therefore, he was caught by Gui Hai and smashed with a ghost-head knife.
Shameful and angry, Dang Mao was facing Gui Hai, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
This big man is clearly difficult to deal with. Besides, Dang Mao is only capable of handling a water-splitting fork. Now even the primary magic weapon has been destroyed by the opponent's sword. If he takes out some top-level magic weapons, Isn't it an attempt to make people laugh?
However, the reason why Dang Mao dared to stand up was because he knew that there was a backer behind this wine shop, and this backer was no less impressive than the Seven Emotions Demon Palace!
If he can win the favor of the owner of the wine shop today, who knows, Dang Mao will still be able to prosper without leaving Yangguan... The more he thinks about it, the more beautiful it becomes. Also, returning to the sea like the reincarnation of a evil star will also be in Dang Mao's eyes. Become cute!
"How dare you two foreign monks act recklessly in 'Yangguanchun'? Don't you know that the big family behind Yangguanchun is the Wang family, one of the four major aristocratic families in Qin County?"
Dang Mao didn't take action, but started talking.
Dang Mao has already mastered the trick of pretending to be powerful.
But now that Guihai has taken action, how can he still care about your Wang family and Li family?
Taking a step forward with a sneer, Gui Hai wanted to teach this blind boy a profound lesson.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiao Mian, who had been standing by and watching, suddenly pulled Gui Hai.
Wang family? hehe……
Xiao Mian was naturally not afraid of the Wang family. When Wang Li was chased by Liu Suyi, Xiao Mian once thought of taking advantage of the situation to kill Wang Li and put the blame on Liu Suyi!
It's just that it was a deserted land at that time. As long as his hands and feet were cleaner, even if Xiao Mian really killed Wang Li, the Wang family would not be able to find Xiao Mian's head. But now, it is difficult for two foreign monks to confront him in public. Confrontation between the Wang family.
Otherwise, even if the Wang family doesn't bother to argue with the two of them, there will always be some domineering villains who will interfere with it, and finally put the two of them on the opposite side of the Wang family.
Then, the gain outweighs the loss!
Taking a step forward, Xiao Mian looked at Dang Mao, but looked beyond Dang Mao towards the inside of the wine shop.
Gui Hai's sword seemed to be unreasonable, but in fact it was quite mysterious. The blade seemed to be cutting towards the main entrance of Yangguanchun, but in fact most of the power of the Ghost Head Sword fell into the air at the door. On the ground, it is also because of this that the sky is filled with dust.
As for Yang Guanchun, he was actually unscathed. The only thing that was broken was the water fork!
"It's just an elementary magic weapon, why do you need to make such a fuss about it?" Casting his gaze on Dang Mao, Xiao Mian sneered carelessly: "I have heard that Zhongzhou has been prosperous since ancient times, and the monks in Zhongzhou are extremely rich. I see what you, Taoist, are doing. The water-splitting fork magic weapon is just the bottom of the list of elementary magic weapons. It is not even comparable to some top-level magic weapons. If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed. It will save you the trouble of embarrassing fellow Taoists in the future, right?"
"You! How dare you bully others so much!?"
"So what if I bully you? If you don't have a diamond in your hand, don't take the porcelain job! You just want to show off your power and dominate with your water fork that I don't even want for free. You Zhongzhou monks are looking down on you too much. Are we foreign monks?”
Now that the other party had revealed their identity as foreign monks, Xiao Mian simply made it clear and pushed the matter towards the truth.
If you stick to your principles, even if you cause some trouble, there is always room for mediation!
Dang Mao was speechless by Xiao Mian, but at this moment, a young man in brocade robes slowly walked out of Yangguan Chunzhong. He looked somewhat similar to Wang Li.
Is it possible that all the disciples of the Wang family like to wear brocade robes?
"Let me think about it: How long has it been since I saw such an interesting foreign monk?"
That young man in brocade robe, just as Xiao Mian guessed, was Wang Li's cousin—Wang Ping!
Wang Ping is also a high-level Jindan cultivator, but his combat prowess is not as good as Wang Li's. Originally, someone with his status would definitely not appear in a little-known small industry in the family. It was only because of the recent tension between the Perfect Sect and the Seven Emotions Demon Palace that the Wang family sent Wang Ping to Yangguan. Already taking a defensive stance.
Lest someone take advantage of the chaos and plot against the Wang family.
In fact, not only the Wang family sent Wang Ping, but the other three major families also sent their outstanding disciples to Yangguan to take charge of the overall situation in case of unexpected events.
It can be seen that under the amiable appearance of Qinjun's senior officials, there are also turbulent undercurrents...
"You have good sense and haven't harmed any of my Wang family's property. Otherwise, you would no longer be alive!" Looking at Guihai, Wang Ping naturally thought that Guihai didn't attack Yang Guanchun head-on. He was afraid of the Wang family, but even so, Wang Ping still sneered: "But you can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape the living penalty!"
In Wang Ping's opinion, considering that Gui Hai is so well-informed and knowledgeable, he does not intend to kill Gui Hai. He only wants to humiliate the other party, and then use this foreign monk to show off his power and let the other three aristocratic families show off their power. It is right not to dare to look down upon it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Ping finished speaking, Xiao Mian smiled and shook his head, but Guihai raised the ghost-headed sword again and slashed it firmly on the lintel of Yangguanchun...
