The night is getting deeper, the chill is getting heavier, and the howling wind on the mountain top seems to have a chilling air.
No one spoke at this time, everyone's nerves seemed to be tense, and almost unanimously, everyone felt that the atmosphere had become tense for no reason.
The meeting hall of the Huashan Sect's main hall was still brightly lit at this moment, and it looked like the bright moon on the top of the mountain, shining with an unusually dazzling light.
After bypassing a long mountain road, under the guidance of two Huashan deacon disciples, Tang Feng and others finally arrived at the hall after half a cup of tea.
Bright candles were swaying, and there were sixteen huge night pearls shining brightly. It seemed that in order to maintain the ancient charm, the main hall was not powered by electricity.
Even the furnishings in the hall maintain the ancient style. Sixteen fine pear rice chairs are arranged on two sides, with three tiger-skin Taishi chairs in the middle.
Supported by eight thick pillars with two persons, the entire hall was very grand. At this moment, Lu Zhanpeng, the head of the Huashan Sect, was sitting on the main seat of the Grand Master's chair in the middle.
Although in terms of status in the world, Lu Zhanpeng may not be as good as Shaolin Xuanfa Master and the help of the Beggar Clan, nor is he as good as Zu Long, Duan Hongyi and others.
But this is Huashan at this moment. As the head of Huashan, Lu Zhanpeng naturally takes the main seat according to the rules. As for Ling Xuzi, he sits on the left side to accompany him, and on the right is the deputy head of Huashan.
Seeing Zu Long and others arriving, Lu Zhanpeng immediately stood up and said with a smile on his face: "I feel really sorry for the late night invitation. Please take a seat!"
Zu Long remained calm, slightly cupping his hands and returning the greeting: "Master Lu is so concerned about the martial arts affairs, so there is no reason for us not to come."
Lu Zhanpeng still smiled and said: "Everyone in the world says that Zulong has the safety of the world at heart and is a great hero. What we saw today is indeed extraordinary."
Zu Long waved his hands slightly and said: "Master Lu, you are polite. I am a martial artist, but I am just doing something within my ability."
Ling Xuzi also smiled and said: "If everyone in the world of martial arts can serve the country and the people like Zu Long, it will be a blessing to China."
Zu Long smiled and did not answer. It was obvious that he was quite disdainful of Ling Xuzi.
Ling Xuzi knew that he was in trouble, so he smiled and sat down angrily.
Master Xuanfa sat on the guest chair on the left, clasped his hands and said: "You are all famous in the world now. Now that you are here, there is no need for polite words. Let's discuss the important matters tonight."
Lu Zhanpeng sat down again and said loudly: "Yes, I invite all the famous martial arts masters to come tonight. There are two main things. One is to reward the winner of the Huashan Sword Competition."
"As for the second thing, of course it is to discuss how to deal with the Southwest Jiuji Sect."
Hong Qitian said: "The old beggar is a rough man, and he speaks directly. Since the reward for the winner of the Huashan sword debate has been decided for a long time, just give Tang Long a thorn directly. As for the second matter, I want to discuss it before discussing it."
, let’s decide on the leader of the martial arts alliance first.”
Duan Hongyi followed up and said: "Yes, it is said that a group of dragons without a leader means a mob. It is better to decide on the leader of the martial arts alliance early. Only by selecting the leader of the martial arts alliance and leading the entire Jianghu can we better discuss how to deal with the Southwest Jiuji Sect.
.”
Hong Qitian said: "According to the rules set before the sword debate in Huashan, Tang Longci is now the winner of the competition, so Zulong should be the leader of the martial arts alliance. Do you have any objections to this?"
When he said these words, the meeting hall suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became a little strange.
Zu Long just listened. As an old Jianghu man, of course he knew that it was not appropriate for him to speak at this time.
Everyone was silent again and again, and finally Duan Hongyi broke the silence: "Since it is a long-established rule, the sword discussion in Huashan is fair and just, I, the Duan family of Dali, support Zulong as the leader of the martial arts alliance."
Hong Qitian said: "I, the Beggar Clan, second the proposal. I wonder what Shaolin wants?"
Since the question came to the head, even though Master Xuanfa wanted to remain silent at this time, he had to speak: "Since it is a rule that has been set long ago, I, Shaolin, naturally have no objection."
Hong Qitian and Duan Hongyi nodded, and then they both turned their heads at the same time and looked at Lu Zhanpeng in the main seat.
For a moment, everyone in the hall, including the heads of the Emei Iron Sword Sect and other sects, turned their heads and looked at Lu Zhanpeng and Ling Xuzi who were sitting on the throne.
Lu Zhanpeng bowed slightly, and seemed to feel a little uncomfortable in front of so many people. He pretended to cough twice and said: "As everyone said, this is a rule that we have jointly set in advance. I, Huashan, naturally agree, otherwise
Aren’t they people who go back on their word?”
Ling Xuzi had no choice but to say: "What Lu Zhanpeng said is absolutely right. Wudang and I also agree and support Zulong as the leader of the martial arts alliance to lead the heroes against the Jiuji Sect."
Everyone couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. The situation has developed smoothly so far.
However, Tang Feng, who was sitting below, frowned slightly at this time. His subconscious told him that this matter was a bit unusual.
Because tonight, the reactions of Lu Zhanpeng and Ling Xuzi were really abnormal. Logically speaking, they should not be so positive.
After all, in today's competition, Tang Feng not only eliminated Lu Zhanpeng's apprentice, but also defeated the Feilong Envoy, causing their so-called five sects to lose face. It was impossible for Ling Xuzi and others not to hold grudges in their hearts.
For a while, Tang Feng couldn't tell what was weird, so he could only wait and see.
Several major sects in the Jianghu, including the Tang Sect, have agreed that Zu Long will be the leader of the martial arts alliance. Naturally, the other small sects will not have any objections, and of course they will not dare to have any objections.
Lu Zhanpeng waved his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and said: "Now that the matter of the leader of the martial arts alliance has been decided, let's ask Tang Longci to step forward and receive the reward."
The reward has been prepared a long time ago and is now placed on the main table, on two ancient wooden plates, both of which should have red cloth.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but sigh slightly. At the same time, their eyes looking at Tang Feng couldn't help but reveal envy. After all, the reward was not cheap. Just the half drop of Kirin True Blood and the Tianling Fruit were tempting enough.
Tang Feng did not hesitate or show off. After all, this was what he deserved. He stood up and walked forward.
Lu Zhanpeng was still sitting there, looking at him and smiling: "Tang Longci is young and talented, and he is indeed the first genius of the younger generation!"
Ling Xuzi, who was next to him, also smiled and said: "Tang Long Ci is the messenger of the Dragon Group. With such a strong talent in cultivation, he will definitely take over the position of Zulong in the future. Even this martial arts leader may not be impossible in the future. Really, he has a bright future.
, Tang Tianjiao will have to worry more about the safety of the martial arts world in the future."
"Seniors, your words are serious!" Tang Feng cupped his hands with a calm expression. He did not feel elated just because of the few words they said. On the contrary, at this time, he felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
"Please accept the reward, congratulations!" Lu Zhanpeng said and stood up. He and Ling Xuzi picked up the wooden tray and handed it to Tang Feng.
Tang Feng didn't think much and stretched out his hands to take the wooden plate.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred. Lu Zhanpeng and Ling Xuzi lifted up the red cloth on the wooden plate, and two black smoke suddenly rose into the sky and rushed towards Tang Feng.
"Do it, kill!" Lu Zhanpeng and Ling Xuzi roared with rage and rushed toward Tang Feng like thunder.
