Chapter 55: The Court of Aristocratic Families and Sects

As soon as Zhou Heng said these words, Tian Chong felt as if his energy had been drained out of him. He collapsed on the ground, his eyes empty and his face full of despair.

It's over.

Completely finished.

Exiled to guard the city in Xiliang, I have never heard of anyone coming back after going there.

This is the road to certain death!

Everyone present couldn't help but sigh. The world of this world is really dangerous. No one knows whether there is any big shot behind a seemingly ordinary person.

With an official position like Chief Buwu of a Prefecture, he is already a big shot in the eyes of ordinary people, but even such a big shot will be knocked down in the face of stronger people in just a moment.

Even life and death in the future are unpredictable.

Pei Zhantu glanced at Zhou Heng appreciatively and said with a smile: "You are decisive. Indeed, martial arts is the foundation. If kowtowing to beg for mercy is useful, why should martial arts be used?"

After saying that, he looked at the newly appointed Buwu Commander-in-Chief Feng He on the high platform and said, "Why are you still standing there, instead of asking people to drag this sinner down?"

"Ah?" Feng He was stunned for a moment. He had not fully adapted to his position, but he immediately reacted and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes! Someone is here! Immediately, give me Tian Da... Immediately give Tian Chong Drag it down and keep it under strict supervision!”

A group of Buwusi's servants stepped onto the ring and were about to drag Tian Chong down.

"No! Don't!" Tian Chong suddenly shouted. He seemed to have thought of something and said to Pei Zhantu: "Sir, sir! I, I have a daughter. She is on good terms with your young master. She is good with your young master. ah!"

"Oh?" When Pei Zhantu heard this, he waved his hand to signal the guards to stop first, and chuckled: "Is there still such a thing? What's your daughter's name?"

"Call Tian Rou, Tian Rou!" Tian Chong was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that Pei Zhantu would spare him for the sake of this relationship, and he might be able to take this opportunity to make a comeback in the future!

"Yes, I remember." Pei Zhantu nodded gently and said, "When I get back, I will instruct my children at home to cut off contact with Tian Rou, and ask your daughter to accompany you to Xiliang, so that you can be taken care of."

"What!??" Tian Chong never expected that there would be such a consequence. He immediately rolled his eyes and couldn't take a breath. The dignified eighth-level master actually fainted just like that.

The officers knew how to act according to the opportunity. Seeing that Tian Chong had been frightened to death, they quickly dragged the former Buwu Commander-in-Chief away.

At this time, the entire arena was filled with dead silence and silence.

This sudden change shocked everyone present. Just now, everyone was worried that Zhou Heng was doomed, but they did not expect that the situation would completely change in the blink of an eye.

It's really incredible that such a big shot appeared out of nowhere to support Zhou Heng's platform!

"Thank you, Mr. Pei." Zhou Heng cupped his hands and thanked him.

"There's no need to be formal or thank me." Pei Zhantu smiled and said, "I was just passing by and accidentally saw Tian Chong abusing his power. I feel sorry for him."

"..."

Zhou Heng was speechless for a moment. Is your adult world so hypocritical?

"..."

"..."

Whether it was Lei Xiuyuan and Lin Cang on the high platform, or Yu He, Yun Xiu, Liu Changsheng and others below the ring, they couldn't help but look stunned after hearing Pei Zhantu's words.

Could it be that this is the way to be an official?

Tian Chong, who had just been dragged down, happened to wake up slightly, and heard Pei Zhantu's words again.

Immediately he kicked his legs, his eyes turned white, and he fainted again.

"Hahaha." Pei Zhantu laughed loudly, looked at Kong Chengshun again, and said, "So, Mr. Kong, let's talk about Zhou Heng joining the Changxing sect?"

"This..." Kong Chengshun's face turned gloomy and he said: "Master Pei, as far as I know, Buwu Division is only in charge of matters within the city. Buwu Division should have no right to interfere with the affairs of our mountain sects."

After the initial panic, he was no longer afraid of Pei Zhantu.

Because he figured something out.

Although Pei Zhantu was a fifth-grade grandmaster, and behind him was the Pingzhou Pei family that the entire Changxing sect could not afford to offend, he was sure that as long as Pei Zhantu was not stupid, he would not be able to use the official authority of Buwusi or the identity of the Pingzhou Pei family. Press him.

The conflict between the family court and the sect has existed since ancient times.

If Pei Zhantu really dares to use the official power of the court to suppress the Changxing sect, then this will not only be a matter of Pei Zhantu and the Changxing sect, but may lead to many conflicts between the aristocratic family, the court, and the sect.

This is not something Pei Zhantu can afford.

From the fact that Pei Zhantu only dealt with Tian Chong, the chief military officer of Huangtong Prefecture, but ignored Huang Jingfu and Hong Kang who were obstructing him, it can be seen that he is definitely aware of the obstacles involved.

Therefore, Kong Chengshun became much more courageous.

Pei Zhantu saw what Kong Chengshun was thinking and said with a smile: "Master Kong has misunderstood. I have no intention of interfering in the affairs of your faction. I just hope that Master Kong can just take care of his own affairs."

The implication was that Kong Chengshun should just focus on recruiting disciples from his own Changxing sect, and not interfere with it and influence Zhou Heng to join other sects.

"It's my duty to do my own things well. Don't worry about it, Mr. Pei." Kong Chengshun saw that Pei Zhantu's words were indeed what he thought. He suddenly felt refreshed and even the pain in his arms was reduced a lot. He smiled and said : "As for other sects, I have no right to ask."

"It should be so." Pei Zhantu said with his head, calm on the surface, but a little unhappy in his heart.

Because Kong Chengshun just seemed to be saying that he had no right to ask other sects to reject Zhou Heng, but in fact it was just nonsense.

What he said was that he had no right to interfere. He had no right to interfere whether other sects would accept Zhou Heng or not.

As for the other sects that were ignored by Zhou Heng, no one knew whether he really "interrogated" them.

But Kong Chengshun had already said this, and Pei Zhantu also knew that he could no longer be aggressive.

The Daqi court was very sensitive to the relationship between officials and sects. Even if Kong Chengshun was only a small eighth-level warrior, he had to treat it with caution.

Although Kong Chengshun and the Changxing Sect are weak, there are many powerful martial arts sects in the world.

It is not a wise move to rashly use official power to suppress sect warriors in full public view.

It's a pity that for a genius like Zhou Heng, his future in martial arts may be bumpy.

Kong Chengshun saw Pei Zhantu's expression, and the joy in his heart almost overflowed. The expression on his face couldn't be stretched, and he showed an obvious smile, and said in a sinister manner:

"Although our Changxing Sect cannot accept Zhou Heng, with his qualifications, if he wants to go to other sects, he will definitely be scrambled for him. Mr. Pei doesn't have to worry."

At the same time, he secretly made up his mind to tell his master what happened when he goes there this time, and then contact other sects through various relationships so that most of the sects in Huangtong Mansion and even the surrounding sects can reach a tacit understanding.

Don’t accept this Zhou Heng!

Liu Changsheng in the audience also heard the implication of Kong Chengshun's words. He sneered and was about to go up to the stage to ask if the Changxing Sect would have any objections to the Five Elements Sect if they wanted to accept Zhou Heng as a disciple.

But before he could take action, he heard a clear crane cry from the sky.

Then the sky suddenly darkened.

A huge white crane flew up into the sky, blocking out the sunlight, and then slowly landed, standing firmly on the ring.

This white crane is more than ten feet tall. Under the sunlight, its feathers are covered with golden light. It is extremely sacred, like a spiritual bird flying down from the fairy mountain.

thump!

Suddenly there was a muffled sound, and a Taoist priest wearing a dirty Taoist robe and smelling of oil and alcohol rolled off Bai He's back and fell into a wooden shape.

Well, this vertical part of the wood is a wine gourd that accidentally fell down.

"Hiccup!" The Taoist priest burped and spit out clouds of alcoholic odor. He raised his head, looked around with blurred eyes, and said vaguely: "Who, who, whose name is Zhou Heng?"
