Chapter 54: Confluence

Although Wudang City is a border city, it has a population of 10 million.

As Pang Tao's old nest, Wudang City has been built to be far more magnificent and prosperous than some large cities in the mainland.

In addition, nearly one-third of the land in Wudang City has been turned into a military base, and it can be said that among the six cities in the southeast, the safest is Wudang City.

Now that the news of Pang Tao's death has not yet spread, Wudang City and even the entire southeast are as calm as before.

Entering Wudang City, Jiang Xiaobai did not go directly to the headquarters of the Southeast Military Region, but went directly to the most luxurious Wudang Hotel in Wudang City, and made a little arrangement.

Then, the three of them ordered good wine and food, and began to chat and wait in the box.

Speaking of Wudang City, the first thing people have to say is the name Wudang City, because it was given by Pang Tao himself.

"Wudang, with martial arts. Pang Tao is also full of courage, but his ambition is too great. Jiang Xiaobai sighed, and couldn't help but feel a little regret and regret in his heart.

"The God of War Research Institute has killed so many people, and he will have to pay the price after all. Guo Lin said that she also felt regret and even heartache, but she was sorry and heartache for the death of those top scientists.

During the casual chat, Guo Lin talked about the results of her experiment, and she told Jiang Xiaobai that the path of evolution was not an ideal path for the strong.

In fact, Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Zixu have talked about it before, whether it is a fierce beast or an evolutionary agent, it is closely related to the greedy wolf civilization, and now human beings rely on evolutionary agents to strengthen themselves, and it is likely that they are just drinking to quench their thirst.

Now that Guo Lin's research has undoubtedly revealed some kind of truth, Jiang Xiaobai feels that once the evolutionary martial artist opens the devouring instinct, it will be like raising Gu, and there is only a cruelty left in this world.

It's just that what makes people feel heavy is that now the Li Palace, or the so-called Qin clan, may have obtained the relevant secrets.

Jiang Xiaobai invited Guo Lin to stay, but Guo Lin insisted on returning to the God of War Research Institute, she didn't want to continue to research the evolutionary agent, but to find a way to prevent the evolutionary martial artist from evolving again.

If that cruel world does come one day, she hopes that there is a way to stop it.

Jiang Xiaobai expressed his support for Guo Lin's ideals, so he did not force him to stay.

"By the way, Mr. Yan, are these people who are coming over about to be your friends? When did you meet Xiaobai?" Guo Lin changed the topic and asked Yan Guang.

"Well, sort of. Yan Guang replied after a slight hesitation.

"Sort of?" Guo Lin said he didn't understand.

Yan Guang was slightly silent, sighed, and then said, "Actually, we are all killers who went to assassinate the boss ten years ago. ”

"Ah!" Guo Lin exclaimed, even more incomprehensible now, "Then what is the situation of you, you don't know each other if you don't fight?"

Yan Guang laughed at himself and said, "The gap is too big, in front of the boss, how can you say what you can't fight." ”

"I know, you are forced to succumb to Jiang Xiaobai's obscenity. Guo Lin looked like I understood.

Jiang Xiaobai was speechless for a while when he heard this, and Yan Guang couldn't help sweating.

Yan Guang explained: "You misunderstood. ”

Yan Guang's face showed a look of reminiscence, and his thoughts seemed to travel back to that day through time and space, and then, he said a lot, and Guo Lin also understood a lot.

Yan Guang's words seemed to make him know a completely different Jiang Xiaobai.

Back then, Yan Guang received a task to assassinate Jiang Xiaobai, thinking it would be an easy task, but he didn't expect that it was not Jiang Xiaobai's enemy.

As a killer, he was ready to be counter-killed. But later I found out that Jiang Xiaobai didn't kill him, but just knocked him unconscious.

When he woke up, he found that there were ten other people present, and they, like Yan Guang, were all failures of that mission.

At that time, they asked Jiang Xiaobai why he didn't kill them?

At that time, Jiang Xiaobai said that he didn't feel like they were bad people and didn't deserve to die. And said that if they wanted, he could take them to the light, everything to save the world. If you don't want to, you can leave on your own.

Jiang Xiaobai's cultivation is certainly awe-inspiring, but what really makes them admire is Jiang Xiaobai's bearing, because Jiang Xiaobai never used his life to blackmail them.

And what really makes them willing to follow Jiang Xiaobai is because Jiang Xiaobai understands them and is willing to truly accept them.

Who is born to be a killer, and if there is another choice, who would want to be a killer?

When he was young, Yan Guang was wiped out because he offended a child of a big family in the ancient martial arts world, and in order to escape for his life and take revenge, he had to hide in the killer world and walk in the darkness from then on.

Not only Yan Guang, but almost all the other ten people at that time had a tragic past. Although they have killed countless people, the people they kill are often treacherous people who have done some bad things but escaped the punishment of justice.

As for the time when they went to assassinate Jiang Xiaobai, they were mainly deceived and mistook him for a traitor who endangered Huaxia.

They have killed too many people, and they have been implicated too much in the ancient martial arts world, and they have even been implicated in the Jiang clan and the Ji clan.

In their eyes, this world will not accept them at all, even if the disaster of fierce beasts breaks out, they will only secretly kill some fierce beasts, and they dare not reveal their identities at all.

At the end of the day, they're just a bunch of poor people who are in the dark, but still yearn for the light.

In fact, they did not expect that in their confused and cold lives, they would meet a person who was willing to lead them to the light.

So they are willing to give this person a chance, willing to give themselves a chance, even if Jiang Xiaobai let them live in seclusion from now on, waiting for the uncertain call, they will gladly accept the order and never break their word.

After Yan Guang finished speaking, there was silence in the box, even if he was a ninth-level peak martial artist, his mood would inevitably fluctuate at this moment.

At this time, Jiang Xiaobai finally spoke: "It was precisely because I felt that your original intention was still the same, so I didn't kill you, and the other seven people, although their early experiences were also sympathetic, but their hearts were lost, and they did all kinds of evil, so they died." No matter how it evolves in the future, not forgetting the original intention, this is always my requirement and expectation for you, and even for myself. ”

"Boss, don't worry, the original intention will never change. Yan Guang patted his chest.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Boss, everyone should be here. Yan Guang stood up.

"Then please come in. Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Brothers, boss, please!" Yan Guang shouted after opening the door, no matter how he heard it, it smelled like he was shouting when selling steamed buns.

Immediately, a middle-aged man in a suit and black-framed glasses walked in first, he looked gentle, and a little elegant, but he was holding a three-foot long sword in his hand, which felt very incongruous with his dress.

Following the men in suits, there were more people who walked in one after another, most of them were men, only two women, and including Yan Guang, a total of eleven people.

Most of them are in their forties and fifties, and some are in their thirties.

As soon as everyone came in, they greeted Jiang Xiaobai one after another.

Everyone has different names, some are called Mr. Jiang, some are called Jiang Handsome Guy, some are called Jiang seniors, some are called the boss with Yan Guang at a glance, and some call him by name, and what makes Guo Lin speechless is that there are still people who call him a dead ghost, which is too ambiguous.

Even Yan Guang on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, this is the pinnacle of a generation, an invincible figure in the world, can he scream casually?

Yan Guang seriously criticized and persuaded and educated everyone, otherwise how to carry out work in the future.

As soon as he said this, everyone agreed, and in the future, following this extremely strong existence, he really can't be as reckless as the rivers and lakes.

In the end, everyone unified the name, anyway, Jiang Xiaobai will serve as the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region in the future, so simply call him Mr. Jiang.

"Mr. Jiang?" Jiang Xiaobai felt a little crying and laughing at this title, why did he suddenly feel that he had been promoted to the boss of the company.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded to everyone: "Everyone please take a seat." Lao Yan, let's arrange the food. ”

"Good. Yan Guang answered, and then called the waiter to serve the food.

Everyone took their seats, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at everyone, and nodded with satisfaction: "After ten years of silence, you have to return to the basics." Now that everyone has reached the peak of the ninth-level martial arts, it is only a matter of time before they go further, very good, very good. ”

Speaking of this, everyone was full of emotion, how could they have thought that there would be such achievements on the road of martial arts, they thought that this life could only stop at the early stage of the ninth-level martial arts, and they never thought of returning to seclusion for ten years, but their state of mind was sublimated, so they could only further cultivate it.

For Jiang Xiaobai, everyone sincerely admired and expressed their gratitude.

At this time, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes fell on the man in a suit who looked like a gentleman.

"Lao Mu, congratulations on becoming a supreme martial artist. ”

Jiang Xiaobai said a word, and everyone was shocked.

The middle-aged man known as Lao Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly, looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you." ”

Of course, the most shocking thing was Guo Lin, she didn't expect that counting herself, a table full of thirteen people, there were two top martial artists, ten ninth-level peak martial artists, and only one of her was a seventh-level martial artist, which made her feel embarrassed!

At the same time, Guo Lin was also shocked in his heart, what a huge force this is, looking at the whole of China, there is no party with such a huge force now.

While everyone was amazed, a table full of delicacies was quickly served.

Jiang Xiaobai toasted to the banquet, welcomed and thanked everyone for coming, and encouraged everyone to make persistent efforts, and warned everyone that no matter what the future holds, no matter where you go, you must not forget your original intention.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, and their spirits were high, but they still had no intention of ending the battle.

Unbeknownst to everyone, while they were drinking, the resolution jointly issued by the eight supreme martial artists quickly spread to various cities in China.

For a time, the land of China seemed to have a 12-magnitude earthquake, and whether it was the fall of Pang Tao or Jiang Xiaobai's appointment as commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, the military and political circles were all shocked.

At the headquarters of the Southeast Military Region, Pang Tao's right-hand men Feng Lang and Han Xiong, as well as the high-level leaders of the Southeast Military Region, have long been together.

Originally, they already had a bad premonition that Pang Tao had not returned for a long time, and that they could not be contacted at all.

The moment they received the resolution jointly signed by the eight summits, Feng Lang, Han Xiong and others felt as if the world had collapsed, and only their minds were blank.

Their faith, their pillars, the pinnacle of a generation, have fallen!
