Chapter 199: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
"Hehe, I didn't expect this little Dongsheng Town to be so lively today, and I will also intervene in the old woman." Just when the two of them were at a stalemate, they only heard a hoarse teasing sound from the distant forest. Immediately after that, there was an old woman with a withered face and ragged clothes, and a bamboo stick in her hand seemed to barely support her rickety body.
"It seems that the reputation of your Black Dragon Society is not as big as rumored, and there are still people in this Dongsheng Town who don't give you face to the old man." I only heard the old woman gloating a little, but she didn't take the so-called Black Dragon Society in her eyes at all.
"Hmph, it's you crazy woman! Why don't you honestly hide in your cave and come to this Dongsheng Town? Zhu Hui, who was in the distance, didn't turn his face on the spot when he saw the comer, and he was obviously a little jealous of this old woman.
"What is the origin of this old woman, even the Black Dragon Elder who has just been invincible and turned his face when he says it, is actually in awe of her?" Tian Jihong couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Hey, you don't know yet, this old woman is a well-known casual cultivator near Dongsheng Town, and she is nicknamed [Old Man Devil Dove]. Don't look at its harmless appearance, in fact, its cultivation time is appalling. Lin Rong explained in a low voice.
"Ordinary cultivators will not be more than a hundred years old if they don't break through to the reincarnation realm, but this demon dove old man didn't know where to get the method of continuing his life, his age is already nearly one hundred and fifty years old, and his cultivation is almost to the extreme of entering the heavenly realm, and he is only one step away from breaking through the divine sea realm. That Zhu Hui is just a foreign sect steward, obviously his strength is still inferior to this person, no wonder he is so jealous. ”
"The outer door steward?" Tianjihong couldn't help but be stunned.
"I'm afraid you don't know, the names of the elders under the major sects also have a class division, although the nominal names are the same elders, but there is a world of difference between the elders of the outer gate and the inner gate." Lin Rong continued, "The so-called Outer Sect can serve as an elder, which is nothing more than qualified to lead the team, often dealing with some communication matters outside, and being placed in the sect is only one level higher than the position of a deacon, which can be called a steward. The strength of such a character is often stronger than that of ordinary deacons in the Bone Forging Realm, but it is not much higher. ”
"And the one who can really be called the mainstay of a sect is the so-called elder of the inner sect, whose status cannot be the same as that of the outer sect, and he is enough to serve as its protector within the sect." Speaking of such a strong person, Lin Rong's eyebrows were also a little more dignified.
"Except for some small sects and factions in the continent that are not worthy of the name, as long as they are under the door of the martial arts world, which can be called the entry force, and can achieve the position of the elder of the inner gate, at least they have the strength to enter the heavenly realm. If it weren't for urgent matters, such a high-ranking figure would rarely show up in the mortal realm in person, and such a strong person would be enough to be regarded as a real master even if he was placed in the entire continent. ”
Tianjihong was also suddenly, and Lin Rong's words made him feel a little awe of those unattainable behemoths in his heart. At this time, he couldn't help but think of the enemy Shi Yuzong that he had in mind, as the leading top sect in the martial arts world, the strength of his disciples was probably even stronger than what Lin Rong said, and he still had a long way to go.
"Hehe, others are afraid of your so-called Black Dragon Society, but I'm not afraid of my wife." Sure enough, in the face of Zhu Hui's ridicule, the old man of the demon dove didn't mean to be soft at all, and replied directly, "Old woman, I am not the lord who sits in a place all day long, there is such a gathering in Dongsheng Town today, how can I not rush to intervene?" But I think what are the so-called four major families, just like my wife and me, don't eat your Black Dragon Society's obscenity, do you want me to help you say it together? ”
At the same time, Gong Yexin, who was just confronting Zhu Hui, looked even more ugly, obviously the two in front of him were far from what he could provoke. Now that he has been ordered to block the town for an investigation, don't look at the tone of the two opposite, they don't deal with each other, but if they can't enter the city smoothly now, they will definitely have the same hatred, if they continue to consume like this, they will definitely not be able to stop them with their own and his subordinates, not to mention whether there will be other tricky characters in the future.
"Huh? Another person has arrived, and the posture is extraordinary. Just as Gong Yexin was worried, at this time, Tian Jihong, who had a keen perception, first found that there was another force in the woods behind him, and the person at the head was unexpectedly a young man in yellow, riding a tall horse under his feet, and the followers behind him were as many as sixty or seventy people, which could be said to be the most manpower that Tian Jihong had seen so far.
"This road should be the so-called [Hundred Huimeng]." Lin Rong glanced at the dozens of people dressed in various clothes and then spoke, "As the name suggests, the Hundred Huimeng is a business alliance established by some weak forces and chambers of commerce in the nearby and slightly distant Tianling Earth Realm, and its leader is called [One-armed Fork] Ye Jin, who is the most powerful [Qingye Gate] master in the alliance. ”
"This Ye Jin's strength should not be underestimated, when he was young, he dared to provoke the hob meat of the major sects of all parties, but unfortunately he offended a certain big man because of his youth and vigor and was cut off an arm, but now he has retreated to the second line and silently took charge of the Baihui League, which is much more low-key. You see that the young man who is the leader is Ye Chongxiao, the only son of Ye Jin, and all the forces are gathered in accordance with his orders in the face of his father. ”
"I see, it seems that this Ye Chongxiao is also a... Eh, wait! That old guy is?! Under the detection of Tianji Hong's soul sense, his complexion suddenly changed.
"Damn, it's this old bastard, who dares to appear in front of my eyes!" Tianjihong, who has a calm temperament, is okay to say, Wang Hong, who has a more fiery temper on the side, is obviously untenable, and I saw that the person standing not far from Ye Chongxiao was actually the Qianbiao of the Longsheng caravan two days ago!
Wang Hong's voice roared out of Tianjihong and he knew that something bad was wrong, at this time, not only the people around him were really startled and cast dissatisfied eyes, but Qianbiao, who was not far away, also noticed the existence of the three people in the crowd, and his eyes were suddenly stunned, and then turned into vicious.
Just when Jihong and Lin Rong were struggling to pull Wang Hong, who was about to come forward to ask for an explanation, they were worried that this Qianbiao would directly retaliate in front of so many people, but they were surprised to see that Qianbiao restrained the anger between his eyebrows, and turned to Ye Chongxiao, who was riding on a horse in front of him, and then he didn't know what he whispered in his ear, but the malicious smile at the corner of his mouth never faded.
At this time, Tian Jihong also understood, the reason why the other party did not dare to make a rash move must be because he learned the news of Bai Yanfeng's defeat, coupled with the bluff behind his own identity in the previous encounter, which made him worried and unwilling to step forward in person.
However, at the moment, it was obviously not a good thing for him to quietly conspire with Ye Chongxiao, and I saw that the latter, under his instigation, looked at Tian Jihong and the three of them, and his gaze was like a prey, which made Tian Jihong, who was not far away, feel his scalp tingle.
"I said, why are you so impulsive! Now it's okay, if you shout out, the Hundred Alliances on the other side will definitely embarrass us! Lin Rong also stopped Wang Hong, who was surging with blood, and didn't let him step forward desperately, and then complained helplessly.
"Alas, now I can only take one step at a time, it seems that this trip to Dongsheng Town will definitely not go well. Fortunately, they should not make a public move in this large court, and everyone should be more vigilant after entering the city, so as to save the people of the Hundred Huimeng from making hooks behind their backs! Tian Jihong had no choice but to say so.
If the appearance of this Qianbiao and the Baihui Alliance is of any benefit to the three of them, it is that Gong Yexin, who was blocking at the gate of the city, is becoming more and more shaken. Faced with the coercion of the three forces that are not weaker than the family behind him, if he wants to continue to obey the order, I am afraid that he will have to do it.
But at this moment, a child of the Gongye clan in the same attire hurriedly came to the road behind him, and after he whispered a few words in Gongyexin's ear, Gongyexin's face instantly improved, and it seemed that he had received further instructions. Not daring to delay for a moment, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the three people in front of her, saying:
"Sorry for the wait! I just received an order from the clan, since a few people are indeed in a hurry to enter the city, my four major families will sell you a face to open the city in advance. also asked a few people to control the people behind them and enter the city in an orderly manner; As for other people outside the city, they can also enter the city according to the regulations after a few people, and then arrange for people to prepare for release! ”
"Huh? It seems that this posture is passable! Lin Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were people in the front crowd who began to follow the three forces and line up to pass through the city gate. Ye Chongxiao, who had looked at the three of them carefully, did not come forward to make things difficult, at this time, everyone knew that entering the city was the most important thing, and it was not the time to settle grievances.
And only Tianjihong is still frowning, according to what Gong Yexin said, the scattered cultivation of all walks of life outside the three major forces still cannot escape the review process. His identity is extremely sensitive, and it is not convenient for him to use a pseudonym in front of Lin Rong and Wang Hong, if he is accidentally exposed and recognized, it will be a big trouble.
……
"Name? Origin? When it was the turn of the three of them, the city guard dressed in clan clothes asked lazily, looking like he didn't seem to pay much attention to the three people in linen clothes.
"Hehe, my name is Lin Rong, the two around me are Tianjihong and Wang Hong, we are all from Donglin Village, a small village not far from the north, and we come to several chambers of commerce in Dongsheng Town on weekdays to do some small business, and they are all serious businessmen. I came to Dongsheng Town today just to gain knowledge, and I also ask Your Excellency to be accommodating" Lin Rong, who has been in Dongsheng Town for the longest time, naturally stepped forward and handed over a small bag of copper coins in his hand.
