C380 Secrets (C)
Hearing Yin Busan's tepid words, the well-built man immediately became somewhat angry, and spoke to Yin Busan in a displeased manner: "What? Could it be that you've made a breakthrough recently and want to use me to train your techniques? "
"What are you thinking? This matter is not as simple as it seems!" Yin Busan was not anxious, he shook his head and explained.
"Oh? What do you mean? " The old man did not understand the meaning of Yin Busan's words, but it sounded like he did not want to participate in the battles between the younger generation, thus, he calmed himself down and asked.
This sturdy looking old man was called Li Fenghun, and was known as the 'Demonic Bandage'. His nickname sounded funny, but it was because he was the one who interacted the most with Yin Busan and was hence nicknamed "Demonic Ghost Bind". However, if he had been underestimated because of this funny nickname, then he was completely wrong.
Li Fenghun was an expert in martial arts, the pair of short spears in his hands were being used in an unpredictable manner. Those that had fought with him really felt waves of Yin energy coming from all directions like devils.
"Do you know who this person is?" Yin Busan pointed to the person lying on the ground and asked.
"Your Blood Illusion Valley people? Who was he? Don't keep us in suspense! " Li Fenghun asked after taking a look.
"That's right, he is Lu Baihuan!" Yin Busan nodded, then replied.
"What?" Isn't he your protector? I brought some people here to ask for more people, but you guys would rather start a war than give me one. Hearing Yin Busan's introduction, Li Jialai immediately asked in shock. As he spoke, he looked at Yin Jingduan who was beside him, and asked with some doubt.
"Don't even mention asking for a person, just an item, a cat and a dog. With this kind of attitude and behavior, if Blood Illusion Valley agrees, wouldn't she become the laughing stock of the martial arts world?" Yin Jingduan scoffed at him as he replied. It wasn't about right or wrong, it was about face.
"Yin Jingduan is right, we will definitely not give him to you, but we will definitely give you an explanation!" Yin Busan said with all his might.
The meaning behind his words was obvious. He would never give it to a person who wanted it. At most, he would just give an explanation, accept it if it was possible, and drop it if it was not acceptable!
But from Li Jialai's point of view, their goal this time was to come here to get people, to work hard and bring everyone out. If they did not bring anyone with them, wouldn't that mean that they were just like tigers with a tail, how could they hold their head up in the martial arts world in the future?
"..." Li Jialai did not speak, and looked towards his ancestor in Sword League, hoping that he would come up with an idea.
"It's useless even if you look at me. You're Sword League's Alliance Master, you can decide about this yourself!" Li Fenghun looked at Li Jialai and stared at him angrily, then shouted at him. As the leader of a sect, if he asked others for their opinion on everything, then it would be better to give up his position. What qualifications does he have to be the commander of a Noda sect? Li Fenghun wanted to temper Li Jialai too. Humans and steel were the same, without being polished, one would not be able to become a sharp blade.
"Yes, Old Ancestor!" I can reject her, but Blood Illusion Valley must give my Sword League an explanation for this matter! " Li Jialai nodded his head heavily, and replied to Yin Busan in a clear voice.
These words were filled with a bit of a domineering aura! He looked very much like the leader of a large sect. But regarding this matter, he still chose the opinion that Yin Busan suggested. Disregarding the fact that this was the suggestion of a Grade Nine Expert, just based on this strange situation, it was obvious that there was some hidden secret that Li Jialai was curious about.
In this way, without the need for the two factions to fight to the point where they could understand the whole situation, it was better than the situation where both sides were at odds with each other. Even if they stole the person over, wouldn't they be wasting some time to interrogate him? From the looks of it, it was wiser to ask for an explanation.
"Un, not bad!" Yin Busan praised as he squinted his eyes.
"Alright, old fellow, hurry up and tell us, stop keeping us in suspense!" Li Fenghun also nodded, and was more satisfied with his family's younger generation's reply, then urged Yin Busan.
"I have a rough understanding of the Fengyang City's situation. Right now, there are some things that I need to verify with this Great Clan Elder!" Yin Busan said leisurely, he suddenly changed the topic and asked Grand Elder of the Sword Alliance who had not spoken a word since he entered the hall.
"Senior, you can ask for yourself. This one will speak whatever I know without hesitation!" The Great Clan Elder from the Sword League was startled, but soon after, her expression returned to normal. After bowing, he respectfully asked.
"Very good, let me ask you this. Sword League and Blood Illusion Valley are both going to the Imperial Capital to attend the gathering, why is there a quarrel here?" Yin Busan nodded, and continued to ask.
This group of people only wanted to fight to the death, but they had never thought about the cause of this matter. Even Yin Jingduan and Li Jialai could only focus on the outcome of the Phoenix Yang battle and did not care what happened. When they suddenly heard Yin Busan asking about the cause of this matter, everyone looked towards the Great Clan Elder of the Sword League.
The Great Clan Elder of the Sword League muttered to herself for a moment, then explained, "We participated in a banquet in the Situ Family together, and during the banquet, Elder Ma Qingyuan and Protector Lu Baihuan of the Valley had a dispute."
"You want to challenge each other just for these quarrels?" Yin Busan asked with a smile still on his face.
"Everyone, please be clear, we were already back at the time, and suddenly received Lu Baihuan's challenge letter, so we went to accept the challenge!" The Great Clan Elder of the Sword League seemed to be helpless as she hurriedly explained with a bitter face.
"But according to my inquiry, Lu Baihuan did not send out an invitation for a battle, and instead received an invitation for a battle, how do you explain that?" Yin Busan nodded his head and said, this time with a questioning tone, as though he was questioning a lying criminal. Especially the last sentence; it was so cold that it could freeze one's bones.
"Impossible, he's spouting nonsense, we have never sent out such an invitation before. If senior doesn't believe me, you can ask any disciple that wants to go with me to the Fengyang City! As long as there are any empty words, I will naturally commit suicide in front of all of you! " The Great Clan Elder of the Sword League exclaimed and retorted, as she anxiously explained in front of the doubtful gazes of the crowd.
The Prime Grandmaster was sweating profusely. Two of them were LV 9 and two were the leaders of the two big gangs. These four people were looking at him in such a way that even if he was telling the truth, they were still unsure! The Great Elder was on the verge of tears.
"Look at him, do you think it's possible for him to lie to me with his current appearance?" Yin Busan pointed to the ground, which was covered in wounds and blood stains, as he spoke to the Great Clan Elder.
"This ?" He did not know what to say, only then would these people believe him, but looking at the current situation, not to mention believing him, they might even think that he was messing things up. If he was an outsider, he would probably think so, after all, a person who had been tortured before and someone who had not received any punishment, who would be more trustworthy?
"Don't be nervous, I know what you said is the truth!" Just as everyone was prepared to capture the Great Clan Elder and interrogate him, Yin Busan suddenly spoke, his tone was no longer cold, but instead gentle.
"Yinyin, what do you mean by that?" His train of thought suddenly turned out to be different, causing Li Fenghun to be enraged. He was not only teasing the Great Clan Elder of the Sword League, he was also teasing them along the way?
"Hey, Brother Li, you still haven't figured it out? We've all been played! " Yin Busan said to Li Fenghun with an old face.
"What?" Hearing Yin Busan's words, everyone present was shocked beyond belief and they cried out involuntarily in disbelief.
Ever since the two gangs achieved their current status in the Jianghu, there were not many people who dared to have their brains set on them. Even Nightmare Villa's act of using a woman to instigate a great war between the two sects ended up getting the worst of it. Although he had achieved his current status, because of what happened back then, they had suffered enormous losses. This caused them to be stuck in hibernation for many years, recuperating until today.
Putting aside the Nightmare Villa, would there be anyone in the martial arts world who would dare to do something so reckless? Even if someone said it, no one would necessarily believe it, but Yin Busan's words caused them to have no choice but to believe it.
Yin Busan was actually also very surprised, after he had obtained this conclusion, he was also extremely surprised, but after repeatedly confirming it, he couldn't help but believe his own deduction. Even though it was somewhat hard to accept saying it out loud, it was still the truth, and everyone present had extremely high statuses, so the endurance in his heart was also very high.
"I am certain that Lu Baihuan definitely did not send any invitation to fight to your Sword League, and you guys definitely will not lie about this matter, then there can only be one possibility, and that is someone trying to take advantage of us, and play us two gangs in the palm of his hands. All of this is just a conspiracy!" Yin Busan solemnly nodded towards the few people present, indicating that they did not hear wrongly, and continued to analyze the matter.
"What is the other party's goal?" "After taking such a huge risk, what benefits would he get?" Yin Jingduan cut in and asked, the questions were sharp and direct, but they were very precise and did not waste any time.
Everyone in the world had their own purpose when doing everything. If they couldn't profit from it, then why did they continue to do so? That was the meaning of it. Some people did it for their name, some for their power, and some people did it for money. There was a profit point in pushing them to do all these things.
