“Sect Master Zhou, are you convinced?”
As soon as he said this, there was dead silence inside and outside the Seeking Sword Hall.
Zhou Huaili was also shocked by Ye Jingtang’s formidable spearmanship and strange lightness skills. His expression changed when he heard the voice, and he remembered the current situation. The Zhou family had lost, and they had been crushed without any argument!
“Woah!”
“Good martial arts…”
The many famous figures of Jianghu in front of the hall only remembered to give a few cheers at this moment.
The Three Absolutes Elderly Immortal didn’t pay attention to the outcome of the battle. Instead, he asked in surprise, “Young Master Ye, did you use Yan Mountain’s Cutting Cloud Steps?”
Ye Jingtang blinked. “I was recommended by an elder and visited the Cutting Cloud Palace in private.”
“As expected…”
“This is the first time I’ve heard that the martial arts of the Cutting Cloud Palace can be combined with spearmanship…”
The Red Flower Pavilion had the Yan Province Hall. Although it wasn’t large, it wasn’t strange for them to have some friendship with the Cutting Cloud Palace. Many people didn’t doubt his nonsense.
The Three Absolutes Elderly Immortal nodded slowly with approval in his eyes. He looked at Zhou Huaili beside him. “Sect Master Zhou, what do you think of this battle?”
Zhou Huaili’s face was wooden, and he clenched his hands behind his back. After a moment of silence, he glanced at Xuanyuan Hongzhi, who was standing beside him, and said unhurriedly, “Nephew Ye’s martial arts skills are so high that it’s unexpected. Yuhua is indeed inferior. However… just now, Nephew Ye was knocked out of the stage by Yuhua. According to the rules of Jianghu…”
“What?!”
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar outside the Seeking Sword Hall.
Many people were stunned. They had long known that Zhou Huaili was shameless, unscrupulous, and far inferior to the famous Sword Saint, Zhou Chiyang. But they still didn’t expect Zhou Huaili to say such shameless words in the face of such a disparity.
He came to challenge your Zhou family and fought at your entrance, but he didn’t get knocked out of your Zhou family’s stage.
Fighting out of the shore only means that your Zhou family’s courtyard is too small. Could it be that you still want two outstanding talents of the current generation to fight at the entrance that’s less than 60 feet wide and full of miscellaneous items?
Song Chi had won the bet and originally wanted to give the Zhou family some face. But when he heard this, he was instantly furious and took a step forward. “Zhou Huaili, are you a sore loser?”
Three Absolutes Elderly Immortal Guanghan Lin also frowned. “Sect Master
Zhou, your words are a little bullying to the junior…”
Zhou Huaili had already spoken. He stopped pretending and said calmly, “Since it’s a challenge, there are limits…”
Standing beside him, Xuanyuan Hongzhi had already used both kindness and force to obtain a portion of the future profits of the Clear River Wharf from the Zhou family. At this moment, he also took a step forward and said, “When he sparred with Zhou Ying just now, they were both on the shore and didn’t leave the stage. Yuhua clearly held back when he used the ‘Rabbit Kicking the Eagle’ move just now. It meant that he would stop when a certain point was reached, and getting hit out of the stage was it. After he realized that Nephew Ye didn’t stop when he fell into the water, he hurriedly chased him off the stage, causing him to lose. If Yuhua had made a fatal move with his kick, Nephew Ye would have flown out of the stage and wouldn’t have been able to get up again.”
These words were also sophistry, but the Jianghu heroes discussing this matter fell silent.
After all, Ze Province’s Jianghu was ruled by the two powerful forces, Jun Mountain Terrace and the Water Cloud Sword Pool.
If it were only the Zhou family who couldn’t afford to lose and acted shamelessly, the famous figures of Jianghu present could still be fair and speak up. But the two forces were in the same boat. Not to mention Ze Province, not many forces in the entire Great Wei would dare to challenge them.
When Song Chi and the others saw the two aristocratic families of Ze Province join forces, they frowned. Although they didn’t want to take this lying down, they didn’t have the confidence to fall out on the spot. They looked at the pavilion lord beside them.
Pei Xiangjun’s expression under her mask was very ugly, but she had expected that the Zhou family wouldn’t withdraw from the Clear River Wharf cleanly.
This battle had already made the Red Flower Pavilion famous. If they really flipped the table, they would suffer immense losses against the two giants of Ze Province. At the moment, she could only secretly give Ye Jingtang a signal.
In any case, the Zhou family was shameless first. If the Red Flower Pavilion didn’t give them the five docks promised beforehand, no one in Jianghu would say anything. They would only scold the Zhou family for being shameless, immoral, and undignified.
Ye Jingtang was silent for a moment. He stood on the top of the boulder, turned the spear in his hand, and pointed at the word ‘chivalry’ engraved under his feet. “Sect Master Zhou, since you can’t see this word, why bother putting it in front of your door and embarrassing yourself?”
“What?!”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.
Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, the Three Absolutes Elderly Immortal hurriedly raised his hand to smooth things over. “Hey! Young Master Ye, it’s just a spar. It’s natural for there to be differences. There’s no need to be angry over this…”
Zhou Huali’s expression was cold as he said in a low voice, “Nephew Ye, do you have any objections to Brother Xuanyuan’s words? If you do, you can say it and let the elders present comment.”
The lakeside fell silent. A few people wanted to speak, but they were stopped by the people beside them.
After all, this wasn’t a small fight. Whoever stood up to slap Jun Mountain Terrace’s and the Zhou family’s faces might die on the way back after the birthday banquet ended.
Ye Jingtang gripped the spear in his hand. He really wanted Zhou Huaili to come up and fight him personally, but behind him were the thousands of lives of the entire Red Flower Pavilion. He couldn’t act on impulse. He thought about it and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, Jian Yuhua, who was standing under the boulder, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, “My kick just now didn’t kick him out of the stage…”
“Brat!”
As soon as he said this, Zhou Huaili’s expression turned into anger. He took a step forward and grabbed the sword at his waist.
Buzz!
At this moment, the spear on the boulder flashed and pointed at Zhou Huaili!
Ye Jingtang’s eyes were cold, and his voice was like that of an asura from purgatory. “If you dare to draw your sword today, I will dare to exterminate your entire Zhou family!”
Zhou Huaili stopped in his tracks and shouted angrily, “How dare you?!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The moment the sabers and swords were unsheathed, the outside of the Seeking Sword Hall instantly exploded.
Countless Zhou family disciples drew their swords and surrounded the Seeking Sword Hall.
More than thirty Red Flower Pavilion disciples also took out their weapons at the same time and guarded under the boulder, blocked Jian Yuhua and Ye Jingtang behind them.
The famous figures present were in a mess. Some quickly distanced themselves, and some raised their hands to stop the fight.
At this critical moment when the battle was about to begin, a voice suddenly sounded from the Seeking Sword Hall behind. “Sect Master Zhou, Young Master Ye, today is Old Master Zhou’s birthday. I don’t want to see Old Master Zhou’s mood spoiled. Both of you take a step back. Sect Master Zhou, withdraw from the Clear River Wharf. Young Master Ye, congratulate Old Master Zhou. Let’s leave it at that.”
The voice was cold and ethereal. Although she was sitting in the hall and speaking, and the distance wasn’t close, the aloofness in her words made her seem to be above everyone’s heads, lowering her head to speak.
Moreover, these words were not a discussion but an order. It was as if the leader of Jianghu was casually persuading two noisy juniors.
If it were an ordinary sect master who dared to speak like this in the current situation, she would be courting death.
But when the people outside the building heard the voice, they stopped in unison. Even Xuanyuan Hongzhi’s face showed a solemn expression.
After all, the person who spoke in the hall was the Moon Goddess, the publicly acknowledged ‘number one beautiful young married woman’ in Jianghu.. Or rather, she was the beloved wife of Xue Baijin, the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master, the leader of the Eight Chiefs, the overlord of Jianghu in the secular world, the person reputed to be invincible under the mountains
