C334 It Was Hard to Keep One's Pride

The Pugilistic World had calmed down a lot because of Shenzong Xin's injuries. Only the Tianxinag Pavilion would occasionally show their faces in the Pugilistic World. As for the Jianghu Alliance, it seemed like they existed in name only.

The main branch of the Jianghu Alliance was actually Zhang Tiankai's courtyard. Under the baptism of the snow and wind, this place seemed much quieter. The Jianghu Alliance, which had been flourishing a few days ago, had now become a deserted place.

It was almost dusk when Zhang Tiankai sat in the main hall. He was the only one in the room. The departure of his son, Zhang Hu, had given him the feeling of a hero dying of old age.

He picked up the kettle and wanted to brew a cup of tea, but the kettle was empty. He was too lazy to call the servants in the mansion, so he threw the kettle heavily to relieve his boredom.

Suddenly, someone outside the door reported, "Lih Tianxiang from Tianxinag Pavilion requests an audience. "

Zhang Tian opened the door and said, "Please!"

Lih Tianxiang was still sitting on the bamboo chair that was carried by eight people. It seemed to have become a part of her body. The Four Saints of Sword Controllings were separated to the left and right.

After getting down from the bamboo chair, Lih Tianxiang said, "How is the matter that you were asked to do?"

Zhang Tiankai's face darkened. "Asking me to contact so many gangs at once, how can I do it just like that?"

Lih Tianxiang seemed to be accustomed to his attitude, she leisurely said, "You have seven days to settle this matter properly. Otherwise, when Master gets angry, I'm afraid your head will not be able to protect it. "

Zhang Tiankai was somewhat angry and could not be forgiven. He was about to get angry but he endured it. After all, the Master that Lih Tianxiang spoke of was the famous Leng Qingluo. This old woman had become temperamental and violent. If he angered her, he was afraid that his life would be in danger.

The biggest tragedy for a person was that his life was in someone else's hands, but for someone like Zhang Tiankai who was once proud and arrogant, it was even more tragic.

Zhang Tiankai sighed lightly and thought to himself, "Who asked me to do something wrong back then? I can't turn back now. " He said respectfully, "I will not delay Master's big matter. "

Lih Tianxiang's smile was very strange. She flew back to the bamboo chair and left before she left. One sentence. "This Jianghu Meeting is not a trivial matter. Do not make any mistakes. As for Duan Tianya and Shenzong Xin, Master has his own arrangements. "

Zhang Tiankai looked at Lih Tianxiang who was far away. His teeth were itching with hatred, but there was nothing he could do about it. He raised his right hand and struck with his palm, creating a big hole in the table. The anger in his heart could not be vented. The poor table could only be the scapegoat.

Late at night, a strong wind blew. Zhang Tiankai gave the invitation cards to his subordinates, telling them to convey the Jiang Hu Conference six months later to all the sects and schools.

There were also many invitations in his hands. But his subordinates had already been sent out. He felt a little lonely. He felt like a puppet. If it wasn't for his greed for Lih Tianxiang's beauty back then, he definitely wouldn't have ended up like this. However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. Everything that happened was his own fault.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a person rushing into the courtyard. The sound of his feet stepping on snow was exceptionally clear. The person who had barged in did not plan to hide himself. On the contrary, he swaggered in.

Zhang Tiankai pushed open the door and said in shock, "Du Buyue!"

Du Buyue said, "It's me!"

Zhang Tiankai asked, "Are you here to kill me?"

Du Buyue nodded and said, "Yes!"

Zhang Tiandao said, "Although your sword skills are outstanding, you might not be able to kill me. "

As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside said, "Count me in!" Another person walked in from outside the door. This person held a knife in his hand.

Zhang Tiankai was stunned and said, "Lee Jingyun!"

Lee Jingyun said with a smile. "That's right, it's me. " He said again, "I wonder if the two of us can kill you. "

Zhang Tiankai was an experienced man after all. He smiled and said, "Of course the two of you can kill me. But I now deeply believe that the two of you are not here to kill me. "

"Oh?" Lee Jingyun asked curiously, and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Zhang Tiandao said, "If you wanted to kill me, I'm afraid you would have done so long ago. "

"The old Jianghu is the old Jianghu. Although they don't look like they are living right now, they are still training there. " Another person walked in.

Seeing this person, Zhang Tiankai couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "It seems like Duan Tianya is really surrounded by crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Even Little Zhuge is on good terms with him. "

Little Zhuge said with a smile, "Which tiger and which dragon am I? Zhang Tiankai was the dragon and tiger back then. "

When Zhang Tiankai heard this, his face turned red and he couldn't help but sigh, "You must want to know why I have become like this. "

Little Zhuge said, "A single misstep will bring thousands of years of hatred!"

Zhang Tiankai nodded and said, "Little Zhuge is Little Zhuge. Nothing can be hidden from you. "

Little Zhuge said, "There are some things that can be turned back. "

Zhang Tiankai shook his head helplessly and said, "Other people can turn back, but I, Zhang Tiankai, cannot. "

Little Zhuge was stunned, and then he understood Zhang Tiankai's intention.

Zhang Tiankai asked, "You guys came late at night, could it be that you came just to persuade me to turn back?"

Little Zhuge replied, "We came here to know about the Jiang Hu Conference. "

Zhang Tian said, "Six months later, Leng Qingluo intends to hold a Jiang Hu Conference in Tianxinag Pavilion. At that time, she will become the first female alliance leader in the Jiang Hu. "

"She is not worried that someone will object?"

Zhang Tiankai smiled bitterly and said, "If you see her skills, you will know how terrifying this old woman is. "

There was no need to say anything else. Little Zhuge understood everything.

At this time, the Tianxinag Pavilion was already strong and strong, and Leng Qingluo had come out of the mountain at the right time.

Regarding Leng Qingluo's sword technique, the few of them also learned a thing or two from Duan Tianya. Although it was only a few moves, it was still enough to shock the world.

Loneliness occupied a person's heart. It would torture a person to suffer.

It was obvious that Zhang Tiankai was feeling extremely lonely right now. He was actually treating Little Zhuge and the other two to a drink in his courtyard.

There was wine and meat in his courtyard. Zhang Tiankai couldn't stop drinking. Perhaps, when he got drunk, he would forget a lot of unhappy things.

He recalled how much respect he had received back then. Even if he wasn't the number one genius in the world, his reputation was still very good. Anyone who mentioned Zhang Tiankai's name would praise his pride.

What he had done now had made him feel ashamed.

Zhang Tiankai was drunk. He laid down on the table and fell asleep.

When Little Zhuge and the others left, they saw a man standing on the high wall. No one would worry about his identity. Everyone in the Jianghu knew that Zhang Hu was good at using a tiger head knife.

The cold wind was blowing. The long street was covered with wheels and footprints.

The lights were shaking, the workers were curled up, and the dark clouds in the sky covered the winter moon tightly.

A few inns and taverns had their lights on, and the most lively one was the brothel in town.

Two people and three swords walked into the inn. They asked for two upper rooms and some food and drinks. Just as they were going up the stairs, a person suddenly stood in front of them. This person's face was covered with a thin veil, and his voice was light as he asked, "Are the two of you Peng Zhong and Wang Liang?"
