Chapter 95: The 94th Picture: Dark and Windy Night
enough!
Two simple words, although plain, are deafening and enlightening.
Many warriors present had heard this voice.
They all changed their expressions, clasped their fists and saluted in the direction of the sound, and shouted in unison: "Greetings to the leader!"
Leader of the Martial Alliance!
One of the only four in the county who is in the skin refining realm!
In the dark night, a skinny old man walked out slowly.
He was dressed in rough cloth, his beard and hair were all white, and he had a mediocre appearance. He was no different from an ordinary old man.
At first glance, it is difficult to connect him with the leader of the Wu League in this county.
But in front of him, Luo Hong and Liang Han put away their previous hostility, sheathed their swords and clasped their fists together.
"Leader!"
"Um."
The old man responded lightly.
Although he is old, his eyes are very bright, not as cloudy as ordinary old people.
"Both of you are the pillars of our martial alliance. Now a storm is about to arise, and monsters and beasts are acting frequently. Don't start any more disputes."
He spoke with an old voice.
"When this monster thing is over, you two can fight whatever you want. I can be a witness for you."
"yes!"
Luo Hong and Liang Han responded in unison, with respectful attitudes and did not dare to have any objections.
There seems to be only a thin line between the five qi and blood realms and the skin refining realm, but in fact they are two worlds apart.
If they start a fight, even if the two of them are tied together, they are no match for this old man.
The old man's eyes moved slightly, scanning Chu Liang, Wu Neng and others, and said: "I already know the reason for this matter."
When Wu Neng and others heard this, their hearts trembled.
Chu Liang was still calm.
Just listen to the old man continue to say: "Wu Neng, there is no evidence for this matter, so we should let it go."
"yes."
Wu Neng was unwilling to do so, but he did not dare to disobey the leader.
"If you have evidence, you can submit it to the Law Enforcement Hall, and the Law Enforcement Hall will make a decision." The old man added.
"yes."
Wu Neng gritted his teeth. If he had evidence, why would he need to make such a big fuss?
It was because there was no evidence that he had to pay for that treasure.
The old man said to Chu Liang: "Chu Liang, you have a good talent. You should stick to your heart, stick to the current path, and don't go astray."
"Yes, thank you, Lord Leader."
Chu Liang cupped his fists and thanked him.
The old man spoke to both of them, which seemed fair.
But anyone who cares can tell that the old man's attitude towards Wu Neng was very casual, but he praised Chu Liang as "very talented".
This gap made many people present have extra thoughts.
"This Chu Liang is valued by the leader of the alliance. We must be friends with him in the future." Many people thought secretly in their hearts.
Wu Neng and others can naturally hear this attitude gap.
They felt very uncomfortable, but they didn't dare to have an attack and could only endure it.
"If you two still want to take action, go find a place outside the county and stop making trouble in the county."
The old man gave another instruction, then turned and left.
He didn't walk very fast, with a thin body and sallow skin. He walked slowly into the dark night where the firelight could not reach.
The night wind howled, carrying his last words.
"Let's all disperse!"
"yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
The storm dissipated.
Through the words of Luo Hong, Liang Han and the old man, everyone understood the cause of this matter.
It turned out to be because of Chu Liang and Wu Neng.
The relationship between these two people was too strong, and they were able to ask the two hall masters to confront each other on their behalf, and even almost started fighting in public.
"As expected of Senior Brother Chu."
In the martial arts hall, many disciples sighed.
Chu Liang usually keeps a low profile, but if he doesn't take action, it will definitely be a big deal.
They had to admire this ability.
"The more powerful Senior Brother Chu is, the greater the reputation of our Autumn Sword Martial Arts School will be. This is a good thing." A disciple said.
"Yes, in the past two months, many people outside have been discussing our martial arts gym."
"Some people say that our martial arts gym is more powerful than the Black Sword Martial Arts Gym."
"Hmph, it's already better than the Black Sword Martial Arts School!"
"..."
As soon as Chu Liang was mentioned, all the disciples felt their faces light up.
It is a great honor to be in the same martial arts gym as Chu Liang. After all, Chu Liang's talent is recognized by the leaders of the local martial arts alliance.
But there were also a few disciples who looked unnatural.
Liu Qiao's face turned pale. He originally wanted to see Chu Liang being taken away, but in the end he only waited until the leader of the Martial Alliance praised Chu Liang.
The sound of people discussing around him was like long needles pricking his heart, making him feel even more uncomfortable.
"Why is Chu Liang always so lucky?"
Liu Qiao felt extremely uncomfortable. He really didn't want to listen anymore and was afraid that the disciples around him would notice him. Finally, he ran back to his residence in despair like a gray mouse.
After the news spread, several people were as upset as he was.
For example, Xu Hua, the young master of Buzhuang.
"Chu Liang! Chu Liang!"
He was scratching his hair, his face was pale, and his mind was in confusion.
"Even the leader of the Martial Alliance praised him, what should I do? Am I unable to take revenge in this life?"
"Trash! Just a compliment and it hit you?"
Qi Hai shouted coldly, held the scabbard in his hand, and whipped Xu Hua violently.
Snap!
The severe pain hit, stimulating Xu Hua's brain and sobering up a lot.
He trembled all over and couldn't help but feel grateful. He looked at Qi Hai and whispered: "Master..."
"You are so young, and your life has just started. There will be many setbacks in the future! Chu Liang is just the first threshold on your martial arts path. Just step over it!"
"Yes, yes... Thank you for your teachings, Master."
Xu Hua took a few deep breaths and adjusted his mentality in a hurry.
In terms of talent, he is a genius in the first echelon of the county. He has condensed the first blood at a young age.
Before Chu Liang came, he was on par with Qi Yue and others, and he was also considered to have the possibility of breaking through the skin refining realm.
It's nothing to fall behind at the moment.
You have to laugh to the end!
At this time, Qi Yue couldn't adjust her mentality as quickly as Xu Hua.
Her delicate face was full of clouds. As soon as she heard the news, she crushed the teacup in her hand with a click and threw it to the ground.
Bang!
In the lobby, tea was spilled all over the floor.
The martial arts disciple who reported the news to her immediately shrank his neck, fearing that he would be angered.
"You didn't lie to me?" Qi Yue asked sternly, "Did the Alliance Master really praise Chu Liang's talent?"
"Yes, Miss, those are the Alliance Master's original words."
"How is it possible?"
Qi Yue gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes reddened.
"The Alliance Master has met me several times, but he has never praised me. Every time he told me to work hard." She didn't want to believe it, her fingers were tightly clenched together, her chest was heaving, and her heart was extremely uneasy.
Outside the lobby, the owner Qi Hong sighed lightly.
He did not enter the lobby, but turned and left.
Some people were happy and some were worried that night.
In the Qiu Dao Martial Arts Hall, Qi Xiuliang bid farewell to Chu Liang and returned to his yard. He was so happy that he practiced sword for a whole hour before resting.
Li Ren and Luo Hong left the martial arts hall together and went to the Martial Alliance, seemingly to discuss something.
Liang Han also returned to the Martial Alliance with everyone from the Law Enforcement Hall.
It was late at night.
The whole county was quiet again.
In the yard, Chu Liang had not rested yet.
He sat cross-legged quietly in the yard, holding his sword in front of him, his eyes slightly closed, waiting for a message.
After a while, Shu Da rushed back from outside and reported to Chu Liang: "Master, it's just as you expected. Wu Neng and others were unwilling to give up and left the county town on horseback overnight. They plan to go to Qingshi Village and search your home thoroughly to try to find some clues."
"Okay!"
Chu Liang suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Wu Neng finally left the county town.
The time has come!
It's dark and windy at night, it's a good time to kill!
