Meeting

Go there yourself?

Upon hearing the words of the Martial Arts Alliance, the people exchanged bewildered glances.

Lord Zhang of the enforcement team tentatively asked, "Your Emissary Lord, you wouldn't happen to want to see that traitor, would you?"

The man surnamed Zhang noticed that the middle-aged Scholar had glanced in the direction of the Six Swords Inn before making those remarks. It seemed that what interested him was Jiang Yi Dao, who had caused trouble at the Lihuo Sect's shop.

How could such a petty scoundrel have aroused the desire of the Martial Arts Alliance to meet him?

The man surnamed Zhang was somewhat bewildered, and the elders of the Lihuo Sect were also a bit dumbfounded.

It's not a good thing that a middle-aged Scholar would use "interesting" as a compliment instead of expressing anger.

"Traitor?" The middle-aged Scholar smiled slightly. "Calling him a traitor is a bit of an exaggeration. It's understandable that a young man who has achieved early success would act a bit flamboyantly."

Young people?

Upon hearing this word, the handsome young man who had been following behind the middle-aged Scholar felt a stirring in his heart and raised an eyebrow.

Judging from the middle-aged Scholar's words, it was a young man who thwarted Gongsun Yang and his group?

Judging from this, this young man is clearly much better than that good-for-nothing Gongsun Yang, and... he even managed to get the middle-aged Scholar to use the word "interesting."

Is it interesting...?

The handsome young man frowned and subconsciously twitched his knuckles.

The middle-aged Scholar noticed this small detail but ignored it, continuing to speak to the man surnamed Zhang: "Young people are naturally hot-tempered, and given the overly forceful and brutal style of your enforcement team, coupled with the arrogance of the Lihuo Sect members, it's easy to provoke conflict. It's understandable that he acted impulsively and hit you."

Normal?

Gongsun Ding was dumbfounded.

Their shops Lihuo Sect were all smashed, more than a dozen people were crippled, and even the enforcement team was routed.

The middle-aged Scholar's assessment, however, was... "normal"?

If this had come from anyone else, Gongsun Ding would have been furious long ago.

But what could he say coming from the mouth of the Martial Arts Alliance envoy?

"Your Emissary Lord, if we don't punish this matter, then in the future, our enforcement team..."

The man surnamed Zhang said with great difficulty that he could tell the middle-aged Scholar was probably not interested in pursuing the matter, but the young man had aroused the Scholar's curiosity.

This is not good news. Where do they put their enforcement team's face now?

The middle-aged Scholar said, "Punishment is necessary. It's not a good thing for young people to be arrogant and overbearing. They need to be taught a lesson."

The middle-aged Scholar said this, and Gongsun Ding was speechless.

Just a "knock"?

The fight that took place in Tianwu City was a serious offense to the dignity of the man surnamed Zhang and Gongsun Ding, but the middle-aged Scholar saw it as nothing more than a children's fight and didn't take it to heart.

"Elder Sun, you don't need to take it too seriously. I will give you an explanation for this matter. You lost one shop, but I will let you open another one."

The middle-aged Scholar said indifferently that for someone of his caliber, the loss of more than a dozen poorly qualified guards to the Lihuo Sect was nothing. He could easily make up for it by simply paying for a shop.

Since the middle-aged Scholar had already said so, Gongsun Ding and the man surnamed Zhang had no choice but to follow him toward the Six Swords Inn Scholar, no matter how unwilling they were.

As soon as they left the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, they encountered several people who looked disheveled.

The one leading the group was none other than Gongsun Yang.

The hook-nosed man and Gongsun Zhi were both gone. Gongsun Zhi was alright, his injuries weren't serious, but the hook-nosed man's nose was sunken into his face, making him unsightly.

Only Gongsun Yang, who shamelessly begged for mercy and even left behind his Space Ring, was spared.

Therefore, only Gongsun Yang is now allowed to return and report.

Upon seeing the middle-aged Scholar approaching, Gongsun Yang felt a burning shame. He had gone to confront a barbarian from the South China Sea with great momentum, only to have his entire force driven back. He was too ashamed to stand there any longer.

"Your Excellency... Your Emissary Lord."

Gongsun Yang forced himself to bow.

The middle-aged Scholar nodded indifferently, saying nothing. However, the handsome young man who had been following behind Scholar sneered and casually transmitted his voice, "A piece of trash, returning like a stray dog."

You!

Gongsun Yang's eyes widened, and his face instantly turned red!

This handsome young man was so arrogant just because he was a member of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and he mocked him again and again!

How could he possibly swallow this insult?

"Enough!" Just then, Gongsun Yang heard Gongsun Ding's voice transmission through his vital energy.

Although the handsome young man had only transmitted his voice without speaking, Gongsun Ding could easily guess what had happened from Gongsun Yang's reaction and the way he looked at the young man.

In fact, not only Gongsun Ding, but also the middle-aged Scholar saw it, but he didn't say a word.

Gongsun Ding was furious at the handsome young man's mockery, but there was nothing he could do.

"Isn't it embarrassing enough? If you had defeated those barbarians, why would any more trouble have arisen, making our Lihuo Sect a laughingstock!"

Gongsun Ding transmitted his frustration to Gongsun Yang, who was so frustrated he almost bit his lip until it bled, but there was nothing he could do.

He was powerless to refute Gongsun Ding's words.

He could only slink along with the crowd, hating the handsome young man and Jiang Yi Dao who had trampled on him twice.

The group were all experts. Although their pace seemed slow, they walked from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion to the Six Swords Inn in just a few dozen breaths.

Is this the place?

The middle-aged Scholar stood in front of the Six Swords Inn, his hands behind his back. He exuded a gentle and welcoming aura, attracting the attention of many passersby.

Even if they didn't know this middle-aged Scholar, they could sense that this person was no ordinary individual.

The gate of the Six Swords Inn had been smashed down by the hook-nosed man, and the entire inn was in a mess. With something interesting to watch, people were coming and going, but everyone subconsciously avoided the middle-aged Scholar, leaving the place where Scholar stood as an empty space.

The middle-aged Scholar simply waited, without stepping inside.

Just then, a young man in blue robes, carrying a long sword, walked out of the messy Six Swords Inn.

This young man had a very ordinary appearance; he was the kind of person who would be completely lost in a crowd. However, he exuded a sharp aura that made people's hearts tremble.

This young man was none other than Yi Yun, who had used the <Star Shifting Heaven Book>. With such a miraculous secret technique, one could alter one's appearance, aura, and even bone age. In addition, the arrogance he exuded made it difficult to connect this proud and arrogant genius with the Yi Yun who had disappeared seven or eight years ago.

The middle-aged Scholar looked at Yi Yun, Yi Yun also looked at the middle-aged Scholar.

Is that him...?

Yi Yun sensed a familiar aura emanating from the middle-aged Scholar; the probing power that had just sent a chill down his spine clearly originated from this man. (To be continued~^~)
