In the early morning of the second day, as the morning light broke, Huang Tianjue and Guan Ming appeared together with Wang Zheng in the council chamber of the city lord's palace.
Half an hour later, the heads of the major Tianzong sects who were sincerely invited by Huang Tianjue entered the city lord's mansion one after another and gathered together. The originally small main hall was quickly filled up, and everyone took a cursory glance.
, it can be seen that there are at least thirty people, and some leaders of forces are arriving in an endless stream.
It wasn't until a full hour later that the gate of the City Lord's Mansion stopped letting people in, and the big room of the Assembly Pavilion was dark and filled with human heads everywhere. When Huang Tianjue saw this, he frowned tightly and leaned into Guan Ming's ear to lower his voice.
The voice said: "Didn't you say that there are only a dozen Tianzong who have lost their treasures? Why are there so many people?"
Guan Ming's face was ashen as he looked at the experts from all walks of life gathered in the room, and he gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "Let's take advantage of the situation. They see that our Xiaoyue Sect is in dire straits, and they are ready to take advantage of it and take advantage of it."
"Shameless." Wang Zheng sat on the far right and gritted his teeth.
Huang Tianjue thought about it for a while, then forced himself to calm down and said: "In any case, we should follow what we discussed last night and drag them with them to see what they want to do?"
"Listen to you."
After the words fell, Guan Ming took a deep breath to calm down his anger, stood up, stretched out his hands and made a pressing gesture, and said to the noisy big room: "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet."
Whoosh!
The discussion pavilion, which was still whispering just now, became quiet under Guan Ming's efforts. The monks in the pavilion were all well-established. If you look closely, you can notice that none of the monks here are weak. From the front
Starting from the first row, there are masters of the Great Perfection in the late stages of Chengdao. This arrangement seems to be based on the cultivation level of these people. The further back, the lower the cultivation level of the monks, but even if they are standing at the end
The last person in the row has a personal strength of Miaodu Dzogchen and will never fall below this stage. So far, in addition to the three masters of Huang Tianjue and a few followers, there are fifty or sixty people in the meeting room.
A strong man with strong skills and good cultivation.
Especially the three old men at the beginning have extraordinary cultivation. They are Fan Xianzhong from the Canglong Gang, Priest Wu Yuan from Shui Yuntian, and Pavilion Master Teng Baipo from Qianren Pavilion.
These three people are what Guan Ming said, the leaders who took the lead in making trouble at the city lord's mansion in Ba Kong City.
When Leiyin Pavilion and Xuan Jingzhai were still at odds with each other in Lingzhou, the three great sects of Canglong Gang, Shuiyuntian, and Qianren Pavilion rarely came to prominence. Normally, the monks in Lingzhou only knew the heads of these three great sects.
There is some gap between the original Xu Hao and Qingjing Sanren, but since the whereabouts of Qingjing Sanren were unknown and the deaths of Xu Hao and his son, the three great Tianzongyi gradually became the leading Tianzong in Lingzhou.
Of course, when they emerged, Madam Hongxing and Feng Jueyu had already led nearly 800,000 Xiaoyue Sect disciples to sit on the top spot in Lingzhou. Usually, these three major heavenly sects often sent people to present treasures in order to
The Xiaoyue Sect followed suit, but no one expected that when the Xiaoyue Sect was defeated in Qizhou, the three major heavenly sects suddenly jumped out and put pressure on the Xiaoyue Sect.
Guan Ming squinted his eyes and glanced at the meeting room, feeling a burning hatred in his heart. However, he knew that there was something hidden behind this matter, so he kept silent as he had agreed with Huang Tianjue the night before.
Looking across the hall, Guan Ming said angrily: "Everyone, please be patient. Yesterday, I submitted your sincere petition to Xiaoyue Mountain for the elders to handle. Today, I specially summoned you all to gather together. I just want to
Find out the truth and give everyone a reasonable explanation. As you all know, from the time Ba Kong City was attached to the sect to today, the city has opened up, attracting colleagues from all walks of life to rush to welcome it. Over the years, there has really been no mistakes. Even though
Even here today, I dare to say this in front of everyone, no matter what, as long as my sect supervises the city government and has any negligence or misstep, I will bear all the losses and will not let everyone here.
You will suffer any losses.”
Guan Ming first gave a righteous speech, and then stopped to observe the faces of the monks in the forum.
In front of the hall, Fan Xianzhong, the leader of the Canglong Gang, who was looking forward to it, raised his fists and said in a loud voice: "Master Guan, the Free Noble Sect in Ba Kong City has been under the jurisdiction of the Lord for many years, and there has indeed never been any major incident that would cause humiliation for us.
, knowing this, we can rest assured to hand over the shops in the city to your ancestor for protection. Regardless of what the palace master said, I 100% believe it. Since your ancestor has already discussed the countermeasures, we might as well talk about the issue of compensation first.
Bar."
Fan Xianzhong directly brought the topic to compensation, which immediately aroused the approval of Wu Yuan and Teng Baipo.
"Yes, we also believe that Xiaoyue Sect will not ignore it. Here is a list of the treasures lost on the night of July 2nd. There are a total of thirty-two magic weapons and fifteen bottles of elixirs. They are all treasures.
Dan, in addition to this, there are also some rare treasures of heaven, materials and earth, which are listed on the list one by one. Please take a look at it, the master of the palace." Wu Yuan was not polite at all and directly drew up the things that were thrown away that day.
A list was handed over.
Then came Teng Baipo: "I've already drawn it up here. There aren't many things but there are quite a few. Please take a look at them all, please, the master of the palace."
When these three people opened their mouths, chaos began in the meeting hall. Several Tianzong behind the three people handed over the missing lists they had already prepared one after another, and then seemed to resonate, and many Tianzong also acted in a decent manner.
Make a list of one category and prepare it for Guan Ming.
Guan Ming was not polite and waved his hand to the crowd. Soon, disciples from the City Lord's Mansion came forward and accepted the list one by one.
After Guan Ming accepted it, he weighed it in his hand. Looking at the names of various heavenly materials, earthly treasures and magic weapons and elixirs listed on the list, his scalp went numb, but he still endured it.
, said calmly: "I have accepted the list, but I still want to say that whether the treasures you lost in the store that day are as accurate as those listed on these lists, we still need further investigation.
As long as we confirm that these lists are true, we will compensate you according to the price."
After Guan Ming finished speaking, Huang Tianjue stood up and sang in harmony: "Everyone, please go back to your home first. Our Xiaoyue Sect never deceives others. Once the matter is found out, we will definitely give you an explanation. Everyone, please go back.
"
After he finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave, but upon hearing this, all the Tianzong masters in the hall stopped.
"Elder Huang? Guan Palace Master? What do you mean? Do you two think that we are making things out of nothing?" The first person to criticize was Elder Wu Yuan of Shui Yuntian, one of the three major heavenly sects. This elder has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
, he doesn’t look like a good person at first glance, and he has a very bad reputation in Lingzhou, having done a lot of evil things.
"That's right, you two just said a few words like before and it's over. You don't take us seriously enough." Teng Baipo jumped out and said with an extremely dissatisfied mood.
Fan Xianzhong snorted coldly, completely losing his composure before saying: "Huh, Xiaoyue Sect is really good at prevaricating people. The lists in the hands of the palace master were carefully counted by me and other sects after they encountered the bad guys that night. Could it be that
You two don’t believe me?”
"Yes, we report the lost treasures according to the actual number. By saying this, are you implying that we deliberately concealed the report and defrauded your sect? Xiaoyue Sect is too bullying."
"Yes, if we don't give a reasonable explanation today, we can't just let it go. So what about Xiaoyue Sect? Even Shanhai Academy is not so unreasonable."
Wang Zheng, who stood up to leave, almost lost his breath and crooked his nose when he saw this. In fact, a few days ago, when the Canglong Gang and others found the city, he had sent people out to investigate.
City Lord's City has always been lively, and the City Lord's Mansion was attacked that night, so few people knew about the City Lord's Mansion. The reason why the City Lord's Mansion was successfully infiltrated by gangsters was simply because the guards in the city were patrolling the city regularly.
Wandering around, it is true that some troubles occurred at night, and some Tianzong were affected, including the Canglong Gang and other Tianzong. However, when troubles occurred in the city, most of them were inconspicuous robbery cases, and
There was no mention of which family had lost dozens of top-quality treasures at once, and that night, when the patrol teams from various places in the city received the news and rushed over, the major heavenly sects also used words to excuse themselves, saying that they wanted to make an inventory of the goods.
, plus what happened to Wang Mang, Xiaoyue Sect didn't care.
But who would have thought that a few days later, when the major heavenly sects came to visit, they found that the things they had lost were not only extremely valuable, but also in huge quantities. This was a bit of a scam.
Next, Guan Ming and Wang Zheng were sent to Ba Kong City to investigate. After statistics, they found that the total number of missing treasures was several times more than the reserves of the entire Xiaoyue Sect for decades. This was not an obvious trap.
Human? Only then did Xiao Yuehe and others realize that this might have been arranged by Shenglong Mountain, but the purpose was still unclear.
With the instigation of Fan Xianzhong, Wuyuan Sanren, and Teng Baipo, the meeting hall was in chaos. The heads of the major Tianzong were clamoring for an explanation, and they all spoke in unison, which was really a headache.
Wang Zheng listened for a long time and finally couldn't hold it back anymore. He slapped the table hard and said angrily: "That's enough. There is trouble in the city. As the city lord, you naturally have an unshirkable responsibility, but you need to ask for an explanation now."
, Isn’t it a bit too much to bully people? Did you just say that you lost the treasure? Can’t you even check it?” Wang Zheng was filled with resentment because of his grandfather’s death, but Guan Ming and Huang Tianjue persuaded him all night long.
Only then did he restrain himself from getting angry, but he could see that the Xiaoyue Sect today is like the earth emperor of Lingzhou, and the group of people in front of him can be compared to the subjects of Lingzhou. Now the subjects have great intentions of revolting against the emperor.
