Chapter 17: The First Climb to the Wind and Thunder Platform
If there is water, it will be long, and if there is no water, it will be short.
December passed in a hurry, and at the beginning of January, Wu Di came to Qianlong City again. However, this time it is not a petty fight in the grandmaster ring, but a bloody wheel battle between sects:
γWind Thunder Terraceγ
"You don't have to fight today!"
When entering the city gate, the sergeant major was still persuading: "We are not running the rivers and lakes, what rules do we abide by?" In case you die, the morale of the troops will collapse. If the army can't even hold its own commander, what kind of army is it. β
Zhang Wei also sulked: "Let them come and fight if they have a kind!" We may not lose positional warfare! β
Wu Di shook his head: "I know that the 301st Company may not lose the positional battle, but can you guarantee that there are no losses?" β
No one dares to pack a ticket.
Qi Yong hesitated: "How can there be immortals in a war...... But the battle damage ratio must be beautiful......"
"No matter how beautiful the battle damage is, it is also a war loss." Wu Di said solemnly: "Hundreds of us are coming together, then I will bring back a lot of people!" β
Wu Di's attitude was very resolute, and everyone had no way to persuade him.
At the end of the line, Yang Zhao trotted up: "Elder Qi, I don't think there's a need to be so pessimistic. We have a strong gear backing up and there will be a huge advantage in the ring. β
Qi Yong corrected: "You have to call!" Sergeant Major! β
Qi Yong looked at the bandage on his hand and frowned, "And Non-commissioned Officer Yang!" You are the wounded! The last person you should be here today is actually you! β
Yang Zhao's complexion was very bad, because he had been operating the spirit forging platform non-stop for the past month, and the skin on his two hands had almost been burned.
Wu Di didn't bring a large army today, only a guard squad. Yang Zhao strongly asked to come along, so he had to transfer him in.
However, Wu Di was still puzzled: "You are injured like this, why did you follow me?" β
Yang Zhao stretched out his thumb wrapped in bandages and pointed behind his back: "I want to take the place of the special service team to witness with my own eyes, and use this thing to penetrate the big scene of the Jindan period to protect the true qi of the body!" β
He carried a rectangular weapon case on his back, which contained the results of the special service squad this month. It is also where Wu Di's confidence lies in today's battle.
Wu Di smiled: "You are confident, even the Jindan period monks are not afraid. β
Yang Zhao smiled: "Hehe! Boss, I'm a fox and a fake tiger. β
The conflict between King Kong Island and Yan Island has long spread throughout the rivers and lakes, and Qianlong City has gathered a large number of heroes to see the excitement today.
Wu Di and the others entered Qianlong City, and from this moment on, the entire army began to attract attention. Pedestrians gave way, and their eyes kept gathering.
Someone in the crowd followed up and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is said that Lord Wu Dao himself has not reached the realm of cultivation and is not in the forging period, is this true?" β
Wu Di didn't want to deal with it at all.
Zhang Wei said angrily: "Why can't you reach the forging period? He didn't have time to cultivate because he had to manage the troops! What do you know? β
I haven't cultivated...... That's the mortal beating Jindan?
Suicide?
There was silence in the crowd.
"In other words, this battle is the suicide of the owner of King Kong Island, what is it that stimulates the owner to do such a tragic act?"
Someone else asked: "It is said that the cause of the incident was a month ago, when your faction poisoned Hao Yuyang's fleet and won the night battle by this despicable means, is this true?" β
"Poisoning?"
Zhang Wei, the sergeant major, and all the people in the guard squad looked over together, if their eyes could kill, the person who asked the question was afraid that they had already been chopped up.
Wu Di was impatient: "Okay, don't pay attention to them." The march won't be over, will it? β
Zhang Wei retorted: "But they said that poisoning, we were obviously fighting head-on to defeat each other, and they still have hostages in their hands......"
Yang Zhao, who had been in Hao Yanzong, pondered for a while:
"According to my understanding of Hao Yanzong, the head of Hao Yuanzi has always cared about face, and if Hao Yuyang goes back and tells the truth about his fiasco, it is estimated that he will be torn apart by his father that night."
Hao Yuyang naturally wanted to add fuel to his failure and find some excuses. Hence the "poisoning" theory.
Wu Di: "There is no need to explain this kind of thing, and there is no need to explain it to unrelated people." β
The troops remained silent and made their way from the outer city to the inner city.
From here on, no casual practice is allowed. Only the disciples of the various heads or sects were allowed to enter, and the crowd was blocked by the guards.
At the root of the city wall, Gu Miaocai, who was leaning on the wall, greeted Wu Di behind his back:
"It's finally here, come with me."
She got up and led the way, and the group followed her to the center of the city, eventually to the rooftop of a trapezoidal tower.
Here, it is an extremely empty observation deck.
Many guests were already in the list, and the one sitting in the main seat was the alliance leader Long Yuyuan.
There was a chair on his left and right, a middle-aged monk with a gray beard sat on his left, and a chair on his right was empty.
Gu Miaocai turned back to Wu Di and instructed:
"Lord Wu, go and say hello to the old man. Just bring one person with you, and I'll arrange for the others to sit down first. β
The sergeant major automatically stepped forward and followed Wu Di up.
Wu Di went over to greet the two people: "Hello city lord, this gentleman is good." β
The man next to Long Yuyuan closed his eyes and ignored Wu Di.
And Long Yuyuan warmly invited: "Master Wu, it's been a long time." Sit down, and sit with me. β
After Wu Di sat down, he found that the atmosphere at the scene was quiet. And everyone's eyes moved back and forth between themselves and the middle-aged monk next to them.
Wu Di has watched gangster movies: When the godfather sits in the middle as the talker, the people on both sides must be the bosses of their respective gangs.
It's like in the poster of the Pleasant Goat, there must be a Pleasant Goat standing opposite the gray wolf, at least not bald.
Wu Di guessed: "In other words, the gray wolf next to him should be ......"
Long Yuyuan smiled at this time and accosted: "Master Hao, Master Wu greets you." β
This person is the owner of Yandao Island, Hao Yuanzi.
Hao Yuanzi's eyelids widened slightly, and after glancing at Wu Di, he sneered: "The city lord has Yaxing to deal with juniors, but the old man doesn't disdain to be with the grass people and depreciate himself!" β
Seeing that Wu Di had no martial arts cultivation on his body, Hao Yuanzi was very polite.
Wu Di silently: "......"
Long Yuyuan said with a smile: "Those who cultivate high are not necessarily strong, on the rivers and lakes, there are countless deeds of leapfrogging challenges......"
Hao Yuanzi continued to be yin and yang: "Yes, being keen on poisoning, hidden weapons, sneak attacks, such indiscriminate tricks, that is naturally a shortcut on the path of cultivation." β
He looked away from Wu Di's face with disdain.
"But on the ring, it's clear who is strong and who is weak. An incompetent waste person is a waste person after all. Crooked ways are still heresy! β
Hao Yuanzi had no scruples, and said loudly: "In my opinion! Can such a person become the head of a faction? Hahaha! It's just a joke! β
Everyone present heard it clearly.
Yang Zhao couldn't help but get up and refute, but was pressed on the shoulder by Zhang Wei next to him: "I didn't receive an order, don't move." β
Everyone did not squint and sat upright.
"Endure?"
Seeing this, Hao Yuanzi shook his head and sneered: "Hehe, I thought it was some kind of rising star, it seems that it is just a dead mouse." β
These words are considered a humiliation for a Jianghu person, if you don't do it on the spot, don't blame people for looking down on you.
And Wu Di and his entourage, from beginning to end, let alone doing it, these two people didn't say a word. Even the disciples remained silent, and no one opened their mouths to refute.
In the eyes of many people in the rivers and lakes, there is only one word to describe these people:
Loser!
In the face of provocation, Wu Di, including the people below him, did not speak up.
The discipline and forbearance of Wu Di and the entire sect made Long Yuyuan more and more curious about him: I didn't realize that there was such a group of people in the Southern Xinjiang Martial Arts......
From what he saw, if these people were not rats, they were wolves.
And Hao Yuanzi, who thought that Wu Di only knew how to poison and sneak attack, laughed more and more wantonly: "This kind of goods, you actually have the courage to go to the thunder platform?" Hehehe! β
At this time, the referee's announcement was heard in the room:
"Duel petition, ready to begin!"
