C185 Sword Emperor
Zhang Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and stared at his opponent. Zheng Xingquan felt a burning sensation on the spot he was looking at, and the smile on his face became a little forced.
“ Oh? Sir Zheng, your hospitality is really enthusiastic. This is the first time I've seen such a huge commotion. I heard from the story that there are ceremonial cannons for distinguished guests. Your arrow rain is flying everywhere. It seems that there is a similar effect. However, I just casually stood there and walked in. When I went out..."
As he spoke, he signalled with his eyes that there was only a narrow gap under the giant valve that allowed one person to lie down before they could go out.
"Don't tell me you still want to lie down? Sir Zheng, you might even have to be a prostitute on your side and treat us with such hospitality that we can't stand? It's hard to reject such hospitality, and we can't bear to leave like this."
After such a short period of contact, Zheng Xingquan had a certain understanding of Zhang Jingxuan and the others.
At first, his plan was to catch a turtle in a jar. As long as he could capture Zhang Jingxuan, the leader of the Litre Bucket Sect, he would be able to do so. Then the invasion of nearly ten thousand men could be solved. It was the same principle that Zhang Jingxuan had taken down Daoist One Pin under Xi An City.
However, Zheng Xingquan only knew one thing, but he didn't know the other. At that time, Zhang Jingxuan defeated the four core disciples of his opponent in front of everyone's eyes. At the same time, Xie Yuanbin, who was the leader of the Unbroken Dao, knelt down and called Zhang Jingxuan Cereal God a descendent. That was why the other disciples were convinced.
Now that this plan had failed, Zheng Xingquan hoped that Zhang Jingxuan and the others would leave. Because the strength of these four people was really troublesome. When they retreated from the giant gatehouse... No matter who took the rear, they could take them down with all their might. He believed that Zhang Jingxuan would definitely be cautious when the time came.
Based on his observation, Zhang Jingxuan and the others must be very concerned about the safety of their important figures. At that time, if he had hostages in his hands, he would at least have some bargaining chips to win the initiative.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Jingxuan actually had a completely composed and arrogant appearance at this time, and he even opened his mouth and teased him. His attitude was extremely light and slow, and it was unfathomable to the extent that he didn't know what he was confident in.
How could he not know that it was mainly because Zhang Jingxuan had suddenly gained the upper hand in talking nonsense that he started to speak nonsense again? Of course, this couldn't exclude the fact that he had extraordinary strength and had already made arrangements.
Zheng Xingquan was not affected in the slightest, and his smile was even more brilliant. " This is wonderful, as long as the host follows the guest. Since Cult Master Zhang has such a wonderful mood... Of course, Shangluo would welcome him with open arms. I can say that I am responsible for the young lady in the pavilion of the Shangluo. They are definitely not worse than the provincial capital, and I guarantee that you will not be able to enjoy yourself. Haha, I never thought that Cult Master Zhang would be someone who is on the same side as me. In that case, we will have a lot of topics to talk about in the future. "
When Zhang Jingxuan saw that the other party was really carefree, he could not help but be stunned. Then he said helplessly, "Master Zheng, I really admire you. You always do whatever you say. Let's not play word games anymore. We'll talk when we have something to say. If you don't have any other thoughts, just get down to business. Lend me your county yamun for a few days, then gather some resources for me. I'll let bygones be bygones, and leave on my way. If I don't agree, swords and spears will be silent, and both sides will definitely suffer losses. I'll leave the power of life and death to you. It all depends on how you choose. "
Zheng Xingquan suddenly stopped laughing. The serious look on his face made people feel uncomfortable.
"Cult Master Zhang, does everyone have to do this? Why do we have to make love? It's not that I can't agree to your conditions. It's just that although the County Magistrate seems to be in charge of this Shangluo, it's actually not the case.
As an immigrant city with a larger population than the locals in Shangluo, it is naturally a little different. There are some elders and capable people in this city. After learning that Cult Master Zhang has graced us with his presence, they also wanted to get close to him. You have to know that I, Zheng, can't do anything to them. Cult Master Zhang, please don't take offense." He said with a bitter smile, as if what he said was the truth.
Zhang Jingxuan casually nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Zheng Xingquan turned around and clapped his hands. A few people walked out of the city. They looked like they were walking out, but the feet of these people were as if they had stepped on a flaming wheel, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of them.
There were a total of six people, five men and one woman.
The person in front had a long beard that was covered in snow. Silver light flickered. He seemed to be in his fifties, but he was still very strong and did not look old at all. His pair of phoenix eyes were closed, but just from the way he appeared, it was clear that he was extraordinary.
Zheng Xingquan cupped his hands towards the person who came over and said with a smile, "Old Man Wang, I have no choice but to trouble you for your presence. I feel uneasy that there are no heavyweight figures guarding Cult Master Zhang here.
Come, come, let me introduce you. This is the most famous Sword Emperor in Shangluo, Wong Beiming, Old Man Wang. When Old Man Wang became famous, the few of us were not even born yet.
What's even more rare is that Old Man Wang has been cultivating like a day for dozens of years. His hard work of cultivating makes us young people feel ashamed. A hundred feet high! He was able to improve again and again. It was also thanks to Cult Master Zhang's great fortune that I might not have been able to meet Elder Wang. It has been eight or ten years since the old man left the world. "
Sword Emperor Wong Beiming. Zhang Jingxuan had heard of him before, but he didn't expect this man to still be alive. And I didn't expect that I would meet him again this time. He looked like he was in his fifties, but in fact, he was at least seventy years old. It had been more than forty years since he had made a name for himself.
According to the legends, this man was obsessed with martial arts, and his level was probably comparable to Feng Jintao's. The difference was that Feng Jintao walked around the martial world alone and sparred with others. He kept palm strikes everywhere, but this Wong Beiming had a lot of businesses in Shangluo. Back then, he had made some progress in his swordsmanship, and was known as the number one sword in Shangluo.
However, this Mister Wang was not satisfied with this realm, and he desired to have greater progress in his swordsmanship.
The method he used was very strange, and that was to write a letter.
No one knew how many letters Wong Beiming had written, and what kind of standards he had used to determine his target. In short, at that time, in the Jianghu, the heads of the various sword sects, famous sword masters, and others... If they hadn't received Wong Beiming's letter, they would have felt empty in their hearts. But even if they received it, it did not mean that it would really be like that.
For example, the previous Sect Master of Wudang, Daoist Hao Feng, the Number One Expert of Kunlun Sect, Ling Hanxiao, and other top swordsmen would definitely have received his letter. The content of the letter was nothing more than a sign of respect, inviting him to come to Shangluo when he was free. They would exchange pointers and discuss sword techniques and so on.
The title of Shangluo's number one sword might still be famous in Shangluo. Venerable Hao Feng, Ling Hanxiao, and the others might not have heard of it at all. They were afraid that some of them did not know where Shangluo was.
The number of people who received his invitation was unknown. However, at least one of them came, and it was this one who established Wong Beiming's status in the martial arts world.
This person was the most famous swordsmith, Gu Feng.
