Before the other party could finish what he said, the red-clothed leader suddenly slammed his tin staff on the ground with a loud bang, and said angrily, "If you still dare to quibble now, someone, drag these three losers down and burn them at the stake!"
"yes!"
Several burly guards in red immediately stepped forward and dragged the three people out.
"Leader, please spare my life!"
"Leader, give us another chance!"
The three of them begged, but the leader in red did not let them go. After a while, the three people's heart-rending wails of pain were heard from outside.
The entire hall was filled with the sound of teeth chattering, and no one could predict whether the leader would be the one to express his anger next.
The leader of the red-clothed cult looked down at the trembling people below and said in a deep voice, "According to the laws of the red-clothed cult, how should we make a decision at this time!"
None of the senior officials of the Red Sect below answered, and everyone had their heads buried deep in their heads.
Although they all knew about Princess Cardinal's behavior, what should they do if they strictly followed the rules of the Red Sect?
But this time the person who violated this prohibition was Princess Cardinal, and no one dared to speak easily.
"Report to the leader!"
At this time, the White Dragon Envoy next to him, dressed in white, with a face like a crown of jade, and a white sheath sword slung across his waist, cupped his hands and said, "According to the rules of the Red Clothes Sect, Princess Hongque should be severely punished for her actions."
"But my subordinates believe that Princess Hongque is a saint of our religion and the adopted daughter of the leader. Even though she is quirky, she has never done anything out of bounds."
"It stands to reason that she has absolutely no motive for fleeing. My subordinates infer that there must be other unspeakable secrets behind Princess Cardinal Cardinal's unauthorized departure from the Holy Land this time."
"So my subordinates believe that we should not make a decision too early on this matter. The top priority is to send people to find Princess Cardinal first, and then make a decision after finding out the truth!"
The leader of the red-clothed sect pondered for a moment, looked at the senior leaders of the red-clothed sect below, and said calmly, "What do you think?"
A group of senior leaders of the Red Sect said in unison, "What the White Dragon Envoy said is absolutely true. We agree with the White Dragon Envoy's proposal!"
"Okay, that's how it will be done."
The red-clothed leader said, "Who is willing to take on the task of finding Princess Red Sparrow?"
The senior leaders of the Red Sect below were silent again.
This time it involves Princess Cardinal, so this task is definitely a hot potato, and no one dares to take it easily.
Just when the red-clothed leader was about to get angry, a middle-aged man in his fifties with a flame totem tattooed on his face stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Let me report to the leader, my subordinates believe that the status of Princess Hongque is too high."
It is too special, so this matter should be handled with caution and should not be made public."
"Princess Wanwan's cultivation level is unpredictable. Just in case, I think I can ask the seniors from the Elder Pavilion to take care of this matter, just in case."
After hearing this, the White Dragon Envoy on the side suddenly said in a deep voice, "How dare you, the Elder's Pavilion is the foundation of my Red Clothes Sect, how can I change it at will?"
The middle-aged man with a flame tattoo on his face said calmly, "The White Dragon envoy calms down. My subordinates are only considering the special status of Princess Cardinal and the interests of the Red Sect. What should I do?
It’s up to the leader to decide.”
The White Dragon Envoy quickly turned to the side, cupped his hands towards the red-clothed leader, and said, "Let me tell you, leader, this must not be done!"
"The Elder's Pavilion is the foundation of our Red Clothes Sect, and the five elders' Five Elements World-Destroying Formation is our Red-clothed Sect's protective shield. None of them can be missing. If one of them is removed without authorization, the power of the Five Elements' World-Destroying Formation will be reduced.
More than half, so the Elder Pavilion must not be mobilized unless absolutely necessary!"
"Besides, I have so many experts in the Red Clothes Sect that I don't have to mobilize the Elder Pavilion. I can send other experts down the mountain!"
As soon as the White Dragon Envoy finished speaking, the middle-aged man with a flame tattoo on his face shook his head slightly and sighed, "The White Dragon Envoy's words are wrong. Although our Red Clothes Sect is indeed a master, but this time
The target of the mission is Princess Cardinal."
"So the person sent must have the ability to absolutely crush Princess Hongque, so that they can bring her back without harming Princess Hongque."
"Furthermore, Princess Cardinal has a special status and an eccentric temperament. If anyone else is allowed to go, she will inevitably worry too much and be restrained."
"But the elders in the Elder Pavilion are highly respected, and Princess Cardinal will never act recklessly in front of them."
"Furthermore, although the five elders in the Elder's Pavilion are our red-clothed sect's protective barrier, they are not the only one. Moreover, our red-clothed sect's identity is secret. There are only a handful of people who know the specific location of our red-clothed sect's holy land, let alone invade us.
Red Sect.”
"To put it bluntly, even if someone really accidentally breaks into our Red Clothes Holy Land while the elder is away, the many masters of our Red Clothes Sect are not just decorations. Besides, aren't there White Dragon Envoys?"
The White Dragon Envoy was speechless by these words and frowned: "But..."
"Okay, don't say anything."
Just as the White Dragon Envoy was about to continue the argument, the red-clothed leader raised his hand and said, "At this time, just do what Hosar says."
"Since Hongque girl is practicing the Burning Fire Technique, let's use water to make fire!"
"White Dragon Envoy, you immediately go to the Elder Pavilion to pass on my teaching order and let Elder Chi Yan handle this matter!"
late at night.
When it was almost early in the morning, Xiao Bailong finally sent an address to Yang Xuan and emphasized again: "Remember, you must get that Buddha statue!"
Yang Xuan drove straight to the place designated by Xiao Bailong.
At this time, the initiative is in the hands of the other party. Even if Yang Xuan has doubts and is reluctant, he can only do it temporarily.
There is a small forest about 20 kilometers north of the city.
A blond foreigner held a cigar in his mouth and shook it gently with two fingers.
Next to him, a middle-aged man with an oriental face and dark skin said in a deep voice, "Two million?
Are you kidding me? This ancient Buddha was from five hundred years ago and is in perfect condition. It costs two million. Isn't this just for my entertainment?"
The two burly black men standing behind the foreigner immediately glared, clenched their fists and took a step forward.
"Fuck, why do you still want to take action?"
Not to be outdone, the companion behind the middle-aged man with an oriental face drew out his dagger and prepared to fight.
"Wait a minute."
The foreigner waved his hand gently, looked at the middle-aged man, smiled and said in blunt Longxia dialect: "Two million, I mean US dollars."
"What the hell?
U.S. dollars?”
The middle-aged man's face instantly relaxed, and he laughed and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Hahaha, okay, then it's two million US dollars. Let's do the deal now. Do you have the money?"
The foreigner waved his hand gently, and a strong black man behind him opened a box, which was full of neatly numbered bundles of U.S. dollars.
The middle-aged man also opened a box about two feet long. Inside was a bronze Buddha statue full of faith.
"If you have any good stuff in the future, please remember to contact me. I'll take whatever you have."
The foreigner took out a cigar and threw it at the other party.
The middle-aged man copied it with one hand, firmly grasped the cigar in his hand, laughed and said, "Don't worry, as long as you can afford the price, I will get you whatever treasure you want!"
“A pleasure to work with!”
Just as the two sides were preparing to evacuate, a faint voice suddenly came from the side, "You dare to sell this kind of thing to a foreigner. What is the difference between this and a traitor?"
