Chapter 263: The Battle Begins
Inner City.
Xuanji Pavilion.
After a few years, the Xuanji Pavilion is no longer a newcomer to Yucheng, and a large area located in the southwest of the inner city is now the rudder of the Xuanji Pavilion, and it does not stop at the hexagonal pavilion on that side.
In addition, the power of Xuanji Pavilion has also spread throughout Yu County, or coercion, or inducement, there are many gangs in the outer city to do things for it, all kinds of businesses are all over the city, only some official businesses such as salt and iron are not allowed to interfere for the time being.
Of course.
Xuanji Pavilion is far from being able to cover the sky in Yucheng, like Hehuan Sect, although it only operates the Qinglou business on the surface, but in fact, over the past few years, there are many large and small forces in Yucheng, and they are controlled by them behind the scenes, after all, they may not be as good at business as Xuanji Pavilion, but they only need to use lust to control people who can do business.
At this moment, in the main building of the Xuanji Pavilion, in a somewhat spacious room, many Xuanrobe deacons were seated, including the Dharma Protector Duanmu Chun, and everyone was sitting on the pineapple floor, with many account books placed in front of them.
"The restaurant business in Nancheng District earned 21,214 taels last month."
"The restaurant business in the eastern city area earned 17,781 taels last month."
"West City ......"
A deacon is checking the revenue books.
Xuanji Pavilion is now a big business, the business is all over the restaurant, flower boats, rice and flour cloth, etc., and the upper and lower jurisdictions are extremely strict, and all kinds of account books must be counted once a month.
Duanmu Chun sat at the top, not participating in the statistical review of the account books, only listening to the deacons' collation, and there were several other Xuanji Pavilion protectors wearing Xuan robes next to him, and some of them were leisurely sipping tea.
"What's going on with the Supervision Department lately?"
Duanmu Chun listened to the various account book reports for a while, turned his head to look at one person and asked.
Compared with the verification of the monthly account books, it is still the movement of the Seven Xuanzong and the Supervision Department that is more critical, although seven or eight days have passed since the start of the incident, and the entire inner city is peaceful, but the more this is the case, the more Duanmu Chun feels that the matter will not be settled down so easily, and with Chen Mu's history, it is impossible to admit it like this.
First of all, Chen Mu may not be able to find out the head of their Xuanji Pavilion, because the matter is personally acted by the masters in the Xuanji Pavilion, and it is almost seamless, even if the Xuanji Pavilion and the Seven Xuanzong have the deepest grudge, but in this period, who can be sure that it is not a deliberate design by another family to provoke, as long as Chen Mu is not completely sure that it is the plan set up by the Xuanji Pavilion, then it is impossible to retaliate recklessly and without scruples.
Of course.
A dignified master of the Storm List is not a child's play, and it is impossible not to cause some thunder when such a serious situation occurs, so the Xuanji Pavilion has long been prepared for the impact of various businesses.
As a result, it was calm for seven or eight days, whether it was Chen Mu, the Supervision Division, or the Seven Xuanzong, as if nothing had happened, there had never been any drastic action, and there was no large-scale search and arrest in the inner city in the name of this.
Nevertheless.
Duanmu Chun still made a lot of preparations, such as ordering all the subordinates of the Xuanji Pavilion to act carefully, and all the deacons and Dharma protectors stayed at the Xuanji Pavilion station, and they were not allowed to act at will in a short period of time.
"There are more people secretly staring at our Xuanji Pavilion in the Supervision Division, and our side is indeed suspected by them, but things are done seamlessly, and no matter how much they check, they can't find any clues."
Someone leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and responded.
Duanmu Chun nodded slightly, and said, "Do you have any information about Chen Mu?" ”
Another Dharma Protector said with a smile: "There is no news, most of them are still thinking about getting rid of the demonic qi, but once the demonic qi penetrates the five internal organs, even the existence of the grandmaster cannot help it get rid of it, it can only be slowly consumed, and it is difficult to get rid of it after more than ten years, so this person is not to worry about it in the future." ”
"No, no matter what, he is also a master of the Fengyun list who has practiced the artistic conception of Qiankun, it is too exaggerated to say that it is not to worry, at least it is still not to be taken lightly for us, and when he comes to his senses, it will inevitably set off a storm in Yucheng, and it is better for me to fish in troubled waters when the time comes, and it will be better to attract this person to fight with Tianyin Sect and Linjiang Pavilion."
Several Dharma protectors were talking to each other.
The plan to use Xu Hongyu to target Chen Mu has completely worked, and it has undoubtedly achieved the most basic purpose, including the high-level members of the Xuanji Pavilion sect are very praising it, as for whether Chen Mu will be suspected in the future, how to deal with Chen Mu's retaliation, that is another matter, at least the disciples below the deacon of the Xuanji Pavilion are completely unaware of this.
Even if Chen Mu went crazy and turned Yujun upside down, and exposed all the fields of the Xuanji Pavilion outside, he couldn't find anything, unless he killed them regardless of the station, the premise was that it was completely sure that it was their mastermind.
But.
Even if Chen Mu is a master on the list, their Xuanji Pavilion is not a fish, shrimp and crab that can be handled at will, let alone a mere Chen Mu, even if it is the entire Seven Xuanzong Sect, Xuanji Pavilion has never been afraid, it is nothing more than a one.
"What you said is too serious, I see that Chen Mu has been attacked by demonic energy, I am afraid that he will not have the courage to act recklessly, and sooner or later he will flee back to the Seven Xuanzong...... It's still Senior Brother Duanmu's wonderful means, and a little trick will solve a big problem in my Xuanji Pavilion. ”
"There is no wine here, we should replace wine with tea, and give a glass to Senior Brother Duanmu."
There is a protector who smiled at Duanmu Chun and picked up the teacup.
Although this plan was first mentioned by the following deacon, the credit on the sect's side was naturally the first to be counted on Duanmu Chun, who was in charge, and for a while, the nearby deacons also raised their glasses to Duanmu Chun.
Seeing this, Duanmu Chun couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and said, "The matter is not over yet, and it is too early to celebrate at this time." ”
"The overall situation has been decided, why is it too early to talk about it?"
The next Dharma Protector said with a smile.
The other Dharma protectors and deacons also looked over.
However.
Almost at this moment, an indifferent voice suddenly came from behind everyone: "Oh, what the big picture has been decided, I want to hear it." ”
This discordant voice suddenly fell into the ears of many Dharma protectors and deacons present, making everyone stunned, and then everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that behind everyone, where the account books were sorted out, a figure appeared at some point, facing everyone, holding a stack of account books in their hands, as if they were flipping through at random.
The atmosphere in the room was first.
"Who?!"
"How did you get in?"
The nearest few deacons of the Xuanji Pavilion saw that the figure was unfamiliar in clothes, and subconsciously asked loudly.
I was even more skeptical.
This is the main building of the Xuanji Pavilion, without permission, even the inner disciples of the Xuanji Pavilion are not allowed to come up, how did this person in front of him suddenly appear here?
But.
The deacons who immediately scolded him saw the figure holding the account book in his hand, slowly turned his head, revealing a strange and young face, a pair of eyes swept over the audience indifferently, and almost all the deacons felt a cold chill spontaneously arise from their eyes, as if they had become cold down their spines all of a sudden.
At this time, some people directly recognized the person, their eyes widened, revealing a little shocked.
"You...... You are ......"
Although there is no specific portrait on either the rookie spectrum or the Fengyun List, the intelligence of the Xuanji Pavilion is strong, and it is naturally impossible for the personal face of the Fengyun List to be circulated internally, even if they have not seen it, some of them can recognize their identities at a glance.
The young figure in front of him, dressed in a cloth robe, is an existence that many people can recognize at a glance.
The first rookie in Hanbei Province.
The twenty-seventh on the Billboard - 'Qiankun Knife' Chen Mu!
This is the Xuanji Building in the center of the Xuanji Pavilion, how did Chen Mu appear here quietly, not to mention that there was no movement outside, and even everyone present did not notice it in advance!
Syllable.
Chen Mu gently put the account book in his hand back on the stack of account books, and then looked at the many Xuanji Pavilion deacons and Dharma protectors in the room, and said in a flat tone: "Trouble Yuzhou, steal money, food and resources, and do some despicable means, this is the Xuanji Pavilion, which is known as the famous and authentic family, the so-called overall situation?" ”
The whole room was depressed, some deacons looked at Chen Mu with a little horror in their eyes, and cold sweat appeared on their foreheads, not to mention the masters of the Fengyun List for the time being, Chen Mu can appear here quietly, this method is too terrifying, it is like a blood hidden building, if they do the assassination, they are afraid that they will not know how to die until they die!
But.
Although there was a shock in his heart, some people were nervous, and their eyes sank slightly, and a cold glint flashed in their eyes, after all, although Chen Mu's method was terrifying, he dared to appear in the Xuanji Pavilion in a grand manner, which was still a little too rampant.
Even if the masters of the Fengyun List are there, not to mention that they are now eroded by demonic energy, even if they are in their heyday, they dare to break into the hinterland of the Xuanji Pavilion alone, really when they are a place where they can come and go at will? !
"The Great Xuan Imperial Court is declining, and the world is constantly strife, it is the eleven states of the Cold North Road, and it is also an endless conquest, at this time, only the unification of the Cold North can calm the chaos and rescue hundreds of millions of Li Shu, the Seven Xuanzong sit on a state, dominate one side, and it seems to be a corner of the land, but it is actually the root of the troubled times, Xuanji Pavilion upholds the mandate of heaven and practices the principles of heaven, how is it not the right way?"
A Dharma protector stared at Chen Mu and slowly spoke.
Duanmu Chun slowly stood up, looked at Chen Mu from afar, and said lightly: "In extraordinary times, when extraordinary means are performed, what do you know?" But since you broke into here alone, that's just right, so stay in the Xuanji Pavilion. ”
……
Outside.
Outside the Xuanji Pavilion station, the spacious streets are often crowded with pedestrians, and the markets are very lively.
After the four sects settled in Yu County for a few years, the situation in Yu County has not become more chaotic, but the chaos at the bottom of the past has disappeared a lot, after all, there are many more disciples of the younger generation of sects who 'punish rape and eliminate evil', and those mixed gangs that once ran rampant and showed off their might, and now they are all people with their heads down.
"Did you hear, Lord Chen seems to have returned to Yujun."
"Lord Chen? Which Lord Chen. ”
"Who else could it be...... A few years ago, I said that Master Chen turned into a dragon when he encountered a storm, and now it has only been a few years, and he is already a master of the wind and clouds, comparable to the figure of Lord Yan. ”
In the bazaar restaurant, some customers in long robes drank wine and talked in whispers.
"When Lord Chen came back, I don't even know, but a distant nephew of my family also worked under Lord Chen, and at that time, Lord Chen was just working on an errand in the outer city."
Someone said with emotion.
"With Lord Chen's current identity, coming back to Yujun is probably to visit the family, if it weren't for someone in my family who was on an errand in the Supervision Department, I'm afraid I wouldn't know about it, and I don't think I would stay long."
"Well, if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known yet, now Lord Chen is also a big man who can't see the end of the dragon, and I'm afraid that in the future, we can only listen to the rumors and anecdotes of Lord Chen, but it's difficult to see him again."
One of the people sitting on the windowsill sighed, then picked up the glass and was about to take a drink.
But.
Almost at this moment, a roar came from a distance, exploded as if the ground was moving, and was accompanied by a howling wind that swept through the nearby streets and alleys, blowing everywhere on people's backs, and even the drinkers in the restaurant were in chaos.
The wine spilled all over the ground, and all kinds of dishes and chopsticks fell everywhere, and everyone was stunned for a while, and then they all looked in the direction where the movement came from, and their expressions were shaken.
"What's going on?"
"Why is there such a big movement, it should be ...... over there Xuanji Pavilion station? Could it be that something happened to the Xuanji Pavilion station, but who would dare to make trouble at the Xuanji Pavilion station? ”
The restaurant and the shopkeeper almost all looked at each other.
But then.
Rumble!
A second earth-shattering roar came, accompanied by an indifferent voice.
"It's not helpful to say more."
"Just let me see if the methods of the Xuanji Pavilion are as mysterious as you boast."
With this indifferent voice swinging between the streets and alleys of the inner city, for a while, countless pedestrians, wine merchants and merchants on the streets and alleys all froze, and then they all showed a look of shock and looked in the direction of the Xuanji Pavilion station.
Someone actually started a fight with Xuanji Pavilion?
Who is it?
With such momentum and courage?
Swish! Swish!!
For a while, some characters jumped up in the chaotic street market, quickly fell to the height of the eaves of the restaurant, and looked in the direction of the location of the Xuanji Pavilion, and saw some shocking scenes in front of them.
But in the Xuanji Pavilion station, the towering hexagonal pavilion on that side almost collapsed more than half at this time, leaving only a small part of the ruins and broken walls standing, and a figure stood on it, overlooking the entire Xuanji Pavilion below.
The figure is none other than Chen Mu!
Below Chen Mu, he saw that in the collapsed pavilion, there were messes and blood stains everywhere, and some stumps and broken arms were faintly visible, and flesh and blood were flying, a shocking scene.
Between the broken pavilions, you can see the figures of Duanmu Chun and many other Xuanji Pavilion protectors, each with a bundle of Yuangang intertwined, and they all looked up at Chen Mu above.
"Bastard!"
Duanmu Chun looked at Chen Mu with a gloomy face.
Chen Mushi was in the Xuanji Pavilion, he had no scruples, and he directly started to shake them with many Dharma protectors, and the aftermath suddenly shocked many Xuanji Pavilion disciples who had no time to retreat from the building!
He wanted to angrily accuse Chen Mu of being so cruel and unscrupulous, and he had no scruples about the younger generation, but when he thought that Chen Mu was not yet thirty years old now, and he actually belonged to the younger generation, he couldn't say it for a while.
Airplanes.
Chen Mu stood at the corner of the eaves of a broken eaves of the Xuanji Pavilion, his face was indifferent at this time, and he raised his hand and shot down with a palm, and the magnificent power of heaven and earth roared, turning into a giant hand that stretched for several zhang, and several kinds of brilliance were intertwined, and they were crushed down.
Xuanji Pavilion has ignored the rule of 'disaster does not affect the family', so naturally he will not talk much about the truth of bullying the small with the big, as for the concept of the sect of the Xuanji Pavilion, he has no interest in distinguishing it, whether it is poisonous and despicable, or it is the world in his heart, in short, it provokes his head, and uses the relatives around him to set up a poisonous plan, and he can only repay it with blood!
A mighty palm fell, the magnificent power of heaven and earth gathered, and the condensed palm print made Duanmu Chun's face change drastically, unexpectedly Chen Mu's body was corroded by demonic energy, and he could still exert such terrifying power with his hands and feet.
Many of the other Dharma protectors were also frightened.
But at this moment.
A voice came from afar.
"Hugh be presumptuous!"
But seeing a figure in a Xuanji robe coming from afar, he came to the Xuanji Pavilion station in an instant, and before he arrived, he had already slapped a palm towards this side, and in an instant, the winter wind whistled by, forming a cold palm print visible to the naked eye, and the ground condensed into ice piece by piece, and collided with Chen Mu's palm print at once.
With an earth-shattering roar, the remnants of the Xuanji Pavilion were completely shattered and collapsed, and countless sawdust were frozen into pieces of ice in the fragments, splashing everywhere between the heavens and the earth.
Swish.
Chen Mu's figure landed at the corner of the eaves of the building not far away, his eyes fell on the person, and he said in a light tone.
"Cold Sword, Situ Shu?"
The Great Protector of the Xuanji Pavilion, the Chilling Sword Situ Shu!
In the winter realm, the cold spirit knife has defeated the 'Fire Cloud Master', 'Red Blood Hand Rama' and many other strong people who are rampant in the cold north, and the reputation is famous, standing in the twenty-third place of the cold north road list!
