In the Xiahou family's mansion, countless warriors were walking back and forth, and it was much more lively than when they gathered for the Yizhuang Alliance.
At the moment, the person who calls the shots in the Xiahou Clan is Xiahou Zhen. In fact, there is an ancestor in the Xiahou Clan. However, the Xiahou Clan’s cultivation of divine arts is not very strong in the physical body. The ancestor’s physical body has declined.
Although the power of the soul is still strong, he is no longer allowed to show up frequently and consume his efforts, so most of the affairs of the Xiahou clan have to be left to Xiahou Town and the elders of the Xiahou clan.
Xiahou Town also had mixed feelings about this ancestor of Xiahou Town.
If it weren't for this ancestor, he could have turned the Xiahou clan into his own without having to worry about those annoying elders. Those old people relied on having the ancestor behind them to be so arrogant and have no scruples.
.
However, if their Xiahou family does not have this ancestor in charge, the Xiahou family's own prestige will definitely suffer a huge blow.
At least when there is no second strong man in the Real Fire God Refining Realm in the Xiahou clan, the existence of ancestor Xiahou is necessary.
In a large courtyard opened by the Xiahou family alone, everything was ready. Xiahou Zhen walked to the center of the stage and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, everyone must have heard the news from Beiyan. That Chu Xiu is simply arrogant.
Arrogant to the point of being unscrupulous, Brother Nie of Juyizhuang died tragically in his hands.
Fortunately, our martial arts community in Eastern Qi is so powerful that Chu Xiu doesn't dare to act recklessly, but he has to repay the blood debts he committed!
Today, I, Xiahou, will lead our Eastern Qi martial arts alliance to form an alliance to attack the Guanzhong Punishment Hall and strangle Chu Xiu, the demonic murderer. I hope you will give me your full help!"
Among the people below, a middle-aged man in blue attire immediately stood up and said: "The head of the Xiahou family is right, Chu Xiu is a cruel boy. In Xiaofantian, I, the Lu family, have never provoked him.
To kill them all is simply too much!"
The grudge between the Gaoping Lu family and Chu Xiu was caused by Xiao Fantian.
Inexplicably, everyone in the Lu family was killed by Chu Xiu, which made the people in the Lu family gnashed their teeth in hatred.
Only when Chu Xiu's identity was revealed later did they realize that their enemy was not far away.
Some people who supported the Xiahou family below agreed and echoed, but at this time, a different voice came: "The Xiahou family master is right, Chu Xiu should indeed be exterminated, this is related to the face of my righteous martial arts world.
But Mr. Xiahou, don’t blame me for speaking badly. As the leader of this alliance, I dare to ask Mr. Xiahou why you should take on this responsibility? The few people present are no less powerful than you, Mr. Xiahou.”
The person who spoke was the owner of Zangjian Villa, Cheng Tingshan of Wuxin Sword Tomb.
Although the strength of Hidden Sword Villa is not too strong, Hidden Sword Villa is one of the five major sword sects after all, and it is not weaker than the Xiahou clan.
Xiahou Zhenyi frowned and said: "The alliance was brought about by me with all my efforts. Everyone present can see how much effort I, the Xiahou clan, put into this.
Cheng Tingshan, you want to take away the position of leader of the alliance with just one sentence, why? You, Hidden Sword Villa, take it too much for granted, right?"
Cheng Tingshan shook his head and said: "It's not that I take it for granted, but there are so many strong men from the Eastern Qi martial arts here. Head of the Xiahou family, you are the leader of the alliance. Why do you have to ask everyone what they mean?"
As he spoke, Cheng Tingshan pointed at the people present and said: "Brother Yuchi from Baihu Hall, Brother Mo from the Mo family in Shangyang, Brother Wang Shuangjun from the 'Shuangyang Sword' who came here on behalf of the Crown Prince, and 'Smiling Noodle Rice' from the Great Prajna Temple.
Master Le'chijian, the deputy landlord of Fengmanlou, brother Qi Yuanli Qi, Mr. Ying Bailu from the Ying family of Shangshui, senior Luo Jiunianluo from the Luo family in Wujun and other powerful masters.
Head of the Xiahou family, with all due respect, among the people present here, you are not ranked first in terms of identity, strength, and seniority. If you become the leader of the alliance, I’m afraid you won’t be able to convince everyone.”
In fact, among the people present, not all of them came because they had grudges against Chu Xiu.
For example, Yu Chifeng from Baihu Hall, he just came to watch the fun, but because he was in Dong Qi, and Baihu Hall was neither a righteous path nor a demonic path, but he wanted to get closer to the righteous martial arts world, so he joined the alliance.
But when you get to the place, whether or not to take action depends on the situation.
The same is true for the Mo family in Shangyang. The Mo family knows about the friendship between Mo Tianlin and Chu Xiu. Although this friendship will not make the Mo family favor Chu Xiu, the attitude of the Mo family when they join the alliance this time is actually very ambiguous.
As for the prince sending someone, even Xiahou Zhen didn't expect it.
‘Double Yang Sword’ Wang Shuangjun is a middle-aged man who carries two swords and has a cold expression.
This person used to be a well-known casual martial artist in the land of Dong Qi, with extraordinary strength, but he has not appeared in recent years. Unexpectedly, as soon as he appeared, he reached the realm of martial arts master, and actually became the prince Lu Longji.
This matter is somewhat unexpected.
Lu Longji also hated Chu Xiu very much this time, so he used his own power to intervene in Jianghu affairs.
In the Guanzhong torture hall, one Yang Gongdu and Chen Eunuch were slapped to death by Luo Shenjun, and the other died in Chu Xiu's hands, but Lu Longji put all the blame on Chu Xiu's head.
Luo Shenjun was far away at Tianmen in West Kunlun. Even as a prince, Lu Longji did not dare to trouble a powerful man of that level, so he could only trouble Chu Xiu.
And the death of Yang Gongdu really made Lu Longji heartbroken.
It's not that he has any romantic relationship with Yang Gongdu, but Yang Gongdu's existence is simply a savior for Lu Longji.
As a prince, he was constantly pressed by his younger brother, and was often in a weak position. This made fewer and fewer people in the Eastern Qi court willing to support him.
Fortunately, the appearance of Yang Gongdu helped him turn the situation around. Even Wang Shuangjun, a master at the master level, was recruited by Yang Gongdu. As a result, now that Yang Gongdu is dead, Lu Longji is almost like a broken arm.
Although Chi Jian, the 'Smiling Miller', doesn't have much grudge against Chu Xiu, Chu Xiu does have a deep grudge against the Buddhist lineage. It just so happens that his Prajna Temple is also in Dong Qi, so Chi Jian does take action.
reasons.
And Luo Jiunian, he also hated Chu Xiu very much.
In the past, he wanted to marry Luo Feihong to the Ying family of Shangshui, but the result was that Chu Xiu made trouble and the whole thing fell through.
However, the Luo family has declined. Luo Jiunian was conceited and had no choice but to have Chu Xiu under the protection of Zhongxingtang, so he never came to trouble Chu Xiu.
But this time, after learning that Xiahou Town had formed an alliance, Luo Jiunian came directly without Xiahou Town's invitation.
As for the remaining Ying Bailu and Qi Yuanli, they actually came just to watch the excitement.
The Shangshui Ying clan has always been too lazy to get involved in things like slaying demons and defending the Tao. This time, sending Ying Bailu here as a token token was just to give the Xiahou clan some face.
Otherwise, if the Shangshui Ying clan really wanted to take action, they would not lack experts at the martial arts master level given their strength.
The same goes for Feng Manlou, but if Shangshui Yingshi only passively watched the excitement, then Fengmanlou took the initiative to watch the excitement.
For Feng Manlou, this is a major event in the world and must be recorded in person. Qi Yuanli also took the initiative to invite him.
He had been in contact with Chu Xiu for more than a day or two. The two parties had cooperated and bought and sold information before, but he did not expect that Chu Xiu turned out to be Lin Ye, who was from the Hidden Demon lineage. This kid had hidden deep enough.
of.
Xiahou Zhen looked at Cheng Tingshan coldly. As soon as these words came out, he was immediately speechless.
How should he handle this? Could it be that everyone present is inferior to him in strength and ability, and only he is qualified to be the leader of this alliance?
After a long silence, Xiahou Zhen directly waved his hand and said: "Since Master Cheng thinks that I am not worthy of being the leader of the alliance, who would like to be the leader of the alliance? As long as there is anyone here who thinks he is stronger than me, Xiahou Zhen, then fine, I will give up my position.
, let him be the leader of the alliance.
Of course, this premise is that this person must ‘convince the public’!”
Xiahou Zhen can be regarded as retreating in order to advance. He cannot convince the crowd, but what about others? If it were others standing on this stage, wouldn't it be the same?
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two sides was getting stronger and stronger, Qi Yuanli stood up and said with a smile: "I say everyone, we are going to the alliance to deal with other people, not to kill each other.
It's a joke to start a fight before the enemy even sees them.
How about this, I have an idea, don't talk so much useless things between us, just decide the outcome based on strength. Whoever wants to be the leader of the alliance will stand on the stage. After one round of fighting, whoever can stand
In the end, who will be the leader of the alliance, what do you think?"
Everyone present looked at each other, and no one objected. They just used their fists to decide the outcome. This was the simplest thing.
Cheng Tingshan laughed loudly and said: "If that's the case, then I will take the first round, the head of the Xiahou family, or you and I will fight first?"
Among the people present, there were only a few who could be ranked on the most popular list. Although the Xiahou clan's divine control skills were miraculous, Cheng Tingshan also had confidence in his own swordsmanship.
Besides, the outcome of this game didn't matter to Cheng Tingshan.
The alliance was not formed by Cheng Tingshan. If he lost this game, he would lose, and he would not lose anything.
But if they win and the position of leader of the alliance is taken by themselves, then the reputation of their Hidden Sword Villa will definitely skyrocket, which is a benefit they get for free.
Therefore, Xiahou Zhen's complexion turned a little dark. Apparently he had also thought of this, and such a beating would be detrimental to him.
I have worked hard to form an alliance, but when it comes time to harvest, someone else picks the peaches first. It is simply unreasonable!
But at this moment, a young man wearing white mourning clothes and holding a sword in his hand suddenly separated from the crowd and walked in. He said solemnly: "If no one comes to the stage, I would like to learn the swordsmanship of Senior Cheng!"
