Chapter 53 Tiangang Sword Sect arrives and the duel begins
Outside the city lord's mansion.
Everyone in the Piaomiao Sect, who had not been able to see the old city lord of Yanbeishan, looked solemn.
"It seems that City Lord Yan did not want to offend both parties, so he came up with such a method..." Xiang Dongliu said.
Shi Mu nodded slightly and looked up at the sky.
The sky was completely dark at this moment, and the streets of Holy Tree City were lit up with brilliant lights.
"I want to inform the third elder now, but I'm afraid it's too late..." Shi Mu said. ??
"Then what should we do?" Mu Yuer'er frowned, and she said seriously, "The third elder warned us not to conflict with the people of the Tiangang Sword Sect."
Yun Zhou interrupted the other party, "We are not going to have a conflict with the Tiangang Sword Sect now, but we have to participate in this duel. If we don't go tomorrow, the Gang Sword Sect will win without a fight that day, and the management rights of the Holy Tree City will be in vain.
It was given to them."
Once the Holy Tree City truly falls into the hands of the Tiangang Sword Sect, the situation will be irreversible.
So now there is only one way to go before everyone.
"I have no choice but to accept the challenge tomorrow!" Ouyang Rong said.
Shi Mu and Xiang Dongliu looked at each other, and a cold smile appeared on the former's face: "If you want to fight, I'm really not afraid."
"Yes!" Xiang Dongliu nodded, "Have a good rest tonight and recharge your batteries. We will deal with those little guys from the Tiangang Sword Sect tomorrow!"
Later, under the leadership of Xiang Dongliu and Ouyang Rong, everyone came to a courtyard.
Although the area of the courtyard is not very large, every plant, tree and brick inside is very neat.
Xiang Dongliu assigned a rest room for everyone, and then called Shi Mu and Ouyang Rong to the meeting hall.
Before leaving, Ouyang Rong glanced at Xiao Nuo with some grudge. It could be seen that she was extremely dissatisfied with the identity of the "disciple of Nirvana Hall" above Xiao Nuo's head.
"Go to rest early! There will be a fierce fight tomorrow..." Yun Zhou glanced at the few people lightly, and then entered the room on his own.
"Get some rest early, Junior Brother Xiao Nuo..." Mu Yue'er was the only one who was relatively friendly.
Xiao Nuo nodded politely, then turned and entered his room.
Close the door.
Xiao Nuo lit the candle on the table.
Golden light gradually filled the entire space, and the shadow of Xiao Nuo's silhouette was cast on the wall, with an indescribable depth in his gaze.
Xiao Nuo was not in a hurry to lie down and rest. He sat next to the table and spread out a scroll.
On the scroll is the martial arts content of "Dark Tiger Canghai Jin".
…
The stars move, the sun and the moon alternate.
One night passed quietly.
When the candle on the table burns cleanly, the last spark is extinguished.
Xiao Nuo closed the scroll in front of him and put it away.
Although he didn't sleep a wink all night, Xiao Nuo was still in excellent mental condition.
A monk in the Qi Control Realm can absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth at any time and place to replenish his own consumption. In addition, Xiao Nuo's physical body is extremely strong, far beyond the comparison of ordinary people, so one night's consumption will not bring much fatigue.
At the same time, Xiang Dongliu, Shi Mu, Ouyang Rong and others also got up one after another.
There were sounds of footsteps and conversations outside the hospital.
Xiao Nuo stood up and opened the door to meet everyone.
But as soon as he walked out of the room, Mu Yue'er's voice came, "What? You're not taking Xiao Nuo with you?"
After saying this, Mu Yue'er subconsciously looked at Xiao Nuo at the door, her face full of confusion.
Xiang Dongliu, Ouyang Rong, Shi Mu, Yun Zhou, and Li Chen were all there, and everyone looked at Xiao Nuo with the same look.
Shi Mu came over and said, "You don't have to go to the City Lord's Mansion with us today, you can just stay here."
"Why?" Xiao Nuo asked lightly.
"Humph, why, don't you have any idea?" Ouyang Rong stepped forward and accused unceremoniously, "Today we are facing the Tiangang Sword Sect. If the people from the Nirvana Palace appear in front of them, they will only become objects of ridicule.
If you go, what else can you do besides damaging our morale?"
Xiao Nuo frowned slightly, the other party's words were indeed a bit unpleasant.
But even so, except for Mu Yue'er, everyone else just watched with cold eyes.
"Senior Sister Ouyang, don't say that, Junior Brother Xiao Nuo is still very capable..." Mu Yue'er quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
Ouyang Rong refused to give in. She said resolutely, "The humiliation brought by Nirvana Palace to the Piaomiao Sect has never disappeared. We don't want to be ridiculed by the Tiangang Sword Sect before the duel has even begun."
Xiang Dongliu also came over, and he persuaded in a gentle tone, "Junior Brother Xiao, although Senior Sister Ouyang's words are a bit harsh, they are also for the sake of the overall situation. Just wait here!"
Mu Yue'er wanted to argue for Xiao Nuo, but Shi Mu immediately said, "This is an order!"
Shi Mu is the commander of the team. As soon as he said these words, he was telling Xiao Nuo and Mu Yue'er that they were not discussing with Xiao Nuo, but were forcing the other party not to show up in the city lord's mansion.
After that, Shi Mu turned to the others, "It's almost time, let's go!"
Everyone nodded, then no longer looked at Xiao Nuo, and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Xiao Nuo's face was a little cold, and he couldn't even tell whether these people had objections to him or to the Nirvana Palace.
Or both.
"Alas!" Mu Yue'er sighed, and she said helplessly, "Don't be angry, they are also thinking about the overall situation."
"Are you sure?" Xiao Nuo asked.
"Huh?" Mu Yue'er was puzzled.
Xiao Nuo sneered and replied, "No matter what the humiliation is,
Cover it up, it will never disappear. By not letting me show up, can you avoid the sharp edge of the Tiangang Sword Sect?"
Mu Yue'er didn't know what to say.
Then, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she thought of something, "I have a solution."
"oh?"
"Isn't it that I don't want you to show up? Then just don't show up... follow me."
Mu Yue'er took the idea into consideration, raised her eyebrows at Xiao Nuo, and then led him out of the house excitedly.
…
Holy Tree City!
City Lord's Mansion!
In the central square of the front yard, a fighting platform for martial arts competitions was built.
To the north of the battle platform, there is a high ground with several large and comfortable chairs placed on the high ground.
People came in one after another in the square.
Under the leadership of the receptionist, several distinguished middle-aged people took their seats one after another.
West side of the square.
Shi Mu, Xiang Dongliu, Li Zhou, Ouyang Rong, and Li Chen are already in place.
Looking at the middle-aged people seated, Xiang Dongliu said, "Those are the leaders of several major families in Holy Tree City, and they must be here to watch the battle today..."
Holy Tree City covers a wide area. In addition to the city lord Yan Beishan as the owner, there are also several other large families in the city.
Whether it is an alliance with the Tiangang Sword Sect or a good relationship with the Piaomiao Sect, Holy Tree City is closely related to the fate of other families, so they are also very concerned about the direction of today's showdown.
…
at the same time.
In the rear area of the square, Mu Yue'er and Xiao Nuo sneaked in secretly.
"Let me tell you! There will definitely be a lot of people coming to Holy Tree City today. If we stay away from the battle platform, we won't be discovered."
Mu Yue'er said proudly.
"So what's the meaning of this black clothes on me?" Xiao Nuo asked.
At this moment, Xiao Nuo was still wearing a large black robe with a hood, covering most of his figure and face.
Mu Yue'er replied, "Then they won't let you show your face, so if you cover your face now, it won't count as showing your face."
Xiao Nuo was speechless.
Fortunately, the two of them were standing relatively far back. If they had stood a little further forward, Xiao Nuo's outfit would definitely attract attention.
at this time……
An announcement came from the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"The vice-president of Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, Miss Gongsun Qing, has arrived..."
Hearing the announcement at the door, several family leaders who were seated stood up one after another.
"Is it President Gongsun of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce?"
"Rare visitor!"
"A rare visitor indeed."
"..."
Wanjin Chamber of Commerce?
Gongsunqing?
<
br> When he heard these words, Xiao Nuo was slightly startled.
He looked sideways and saw a group of people from the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce entering the arena. The leader was an extremely beautiful woman.
She has a graceful figure, a snow-white complexion, and two delicate hairpins inserted into her long, inky hair.
With her delicate facial features and small oval face, she is a rare beauty in the world.
Xiao Nuo recognized the other party at a glance, Gongsun Qing, the eldest lady of the Gongsun family, one of the five major families in Xiyue City.
"She is the vice-president of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce..." Mu Yue'er's eyes brightened, "This woman is quite famous. The Wanjin Chamber of Commerce's business is spread all over the Eastern Wasteland. I didn't expect that we even have intersections here in Holy Tree City."
Mu Yue'er briefly introduced Xiao Nuo.
As everyone knows, Xiao Nuo and Gong Sunqing are "acquaintances".
Last time Xiao Nuo killed Xiao Yong, the young master of the Xiao family in Xiyue City, and was hunted everywhere by the Xiao family. It was only with Gongsun Qing's help that he managed to get out of the city.
The reason why Xiao Nuo joined the Piaomiao Sect was because of Gongsun Qing's recommendation.
But Gongsun Qing would appear here, which really surprised Xiao Nuo.
It can be seen that Wanjin Chamber of Commerce is indeed doing a lot of business. The heads of several major families in Holy Tree City came forward to say hello to Gongsun Qing.
Gongsun Qing also responded politely.
Because they were far away, Xiao Nuo and Mu Yue'er couldn't hear the conversation there, but judging from the attitudes of the family leaders, they were obviously quite polite.
Later, Gongsun Qing took a seat at the VIP table at the invitation of everyone.
Almost all the guests have arrived.
The time for today's showdown is getting closer and closer.
then……
Directly opposite the Piaomiao Sect group, seven or eight young figures with majestic aura, full of sharpness and arrogance slowly stepped into the field.
"Wow!"
Spirited!
Cut into the field with sharpness like a sword.
The Piaomiao Sect members on the field immediately felt an oncoming provocation.
Gongsun Qing and the leaders of several major families in Holy Tree City also turned their attention there.
The people from the Tiangang Sword Sect are here!
"Disciple of the Tiangang Sword Sect, Xiao Yi, I have met all of you..."
"Wow!"
The voice was loud and clear, with invisible sword power.
Xiang Dongliu, Shi Mu, Ouyang Rong and others all had their eyes narrowed.
At this moment, Xiao Nuo, who was standing at the back of the square with Mu Yue'er, couldn't help clenching his hands...
How interesting!
Under the black robe, Xiao Nuo's eyes were extremely sharp. Xiao Nuo basically knew all the people in the group opposite the battle stage, except for a few people.
They are all members of the Xiao family in Xiyue City.
The leader is none other than Xiao Xiong’s eldest son, Xiao Yuwei’s elder brother, and the real young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Yi!
