"What a deep internal force..."

The footsteps paused, Shen Wuxian looked up at the second floor of the tavern, this voice was condensed by true qi, strong and not dispersed, it can be seen that the internal force transmitter is a master!

Frowning slightly, after careful consideration, Shen Wuxian turned around and walked towards the tavern.

This person invited himself to drink, if he was an enemy, and now he is injured, it is a good time to make a move, but the other party has not moved, so it can be imagined that it is a friend and not an enemy!

Entering the tavern, the tavern is very ordinary, divided into two floors, the ground floor is covered with tables and chairs, and the upstairs must be too.

Today's taverns are sparsely populated and there aren't many diners.

Glancing around, there was nothing wrong, and Shen Wuxian paced towards the second floor.

When you come to the second floor, you will only be greeted by a table of diners by the window.

I saw a middle-aged man in an ink coat with a mustache drinking, and an elderly man standing next to him.

The middle-aged man was about 40 years old, and his face was resolute and mature, with a righteous face.

"Shen Shaoxia, please take a seat..."

Holding a glass of wine in his hand, his eyes looked at Shen Wuxian, his eyes were full of appreciation, and the middle-aged man waved his hand and invited with a smile.

also looked at the other party, retracted his gaze, Shen Wuxian hugged his fists, and sat down opposite the middle-aged man.

As Shen Wuxian took his seat, the old man, Uncle Xiao, picked up the wine jug and poured him a full cup of Chinese wine.

Looking at Uncle Xiao, Shen Wuxian was secretly surprised in his heart.

It can be seen that this old man is standing next to the middle-aged man, who has not been seated, and is obviously a servant!

But to Shen Wuxian's surprise, this old man's cultivation was on par with himself, and he was also in the realm of a super-first-class master!

"Thank you for the invitation, I don't know your honorable name?"

The super-first-class master is just a servant, so the identity of this middle-aged man must not be simple! Shen Wuxian immediately clasped his hands into fists and asked politely.

"Thank you..."

Picking up the wine glass and looking at Shen Wuxian with four eyes, the middle-aged man said with a smile.

"It turned out to be the leader of the Xie Alliance!

Hearing this, he looked stunned, and Shen Wuxian hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said apologetically.

Xie Tianhao, the owner of Haoyi Villa, a peerless master in the rivers and lakes, and the leader of the righteous martial arts alliance elected by the six major factions!

"Hahaha, no need to be polite... If you are really a hero, the bull head, one of the four protectors of the Shura Palace, also died in your hands, Shen Shaoxia is a harm to the righteous path of martial arts!"

With a wave of his hand, he drank all the wine in the cup, and Xie Tianhao smiled.

"Xie Meng's words are heavy... I don't know if you are in Zhengzhou City now, but you are also here for these children?"

Also after drinking all the wine, Shen Wuxian frowned and asked suspiciously.

"Shen Shaoxia, three days ago, our master fought the five demons of Xishan alone, and fought for a day and a night before the five of them were killed!

Hearing what Shen Wuxian said, pouring a full cup of Chinese wine for him, Uncle Xiao glanced at his master with concern and said in a loud voice.

"Shen Shaoxia, this is my housekeeper, Uncle Xiao..."

Blinded Uncle Xiao, signaled that he was okay, and reassured him, and then Xie Tianhao introduced with a smile.

"Lord Xie, even if you are injured internally, you have to rush to deal with the Shura Hall and rescue these children... Admire you without a trace!"

Hearing the introduction, Shen Wuxian hugged his fists, said hello to Uncle Xiao, and then looked at Xie Tianhao with a look of respect.

Suddenly, just as Shen Wuxian finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tavern window.

Hearing the sound, the three of them looked out the window together, only to see more than a dozen brocade-clothed guards with knives, coming to the place where Shen Wuxian was fighting with the bull's head!

"Chief, we seem to be a step too late..."

Blinded the corpses of the Shura Hall around him, and saw that the ground was torn apart, leaving traces of blood, it was obvious that there had been a fight here, and a Jinyi subordinate whispered to the leader.

"Hmm... Dispose of the corpse, and we'll go back to our lives!"

Nodding, the brocade leader crossed his hands on his hips and commanded proudly.

After that, he left a few brocade guards to clean up the market, and he quickly left with the rest of his men.

"Hmph! There was a fight in the rivers and lakes, and they never saw them make a move, and they only appeared after the fact that they were killed! A bunch of waste! Ridiculous!"

Staring at the brocade-clothed guards outside the window, Shen Wuxian sneered.

The Killing Hall, established by the imperial court, is an institution used to control the order of the rivers and lakes, maintain the law and order of the martial arts, and prevent the people and sects in the rivers and lakes from fighting!

"Shen Shaoxia, this river and lake is no longer the one it used to be, do you know why the Shura Hall is so rampant?"

Seeing that Shen Wuxian was dissatisfied with the Killing Hall, Xie Tianhao sighed.

Hearing this, he was puzzled, and Shen Wuxian shook his head suspiciously.

"Hehe... The rise of the Shura Hall and the chaos of the martial arts are precisely because of the Killing Hall!"

Laughing at himself, Xie Tianhao stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the window.

A hundred years after the world's No. 1 master, the Absolute Dust Grandmaster, retired from the rivers and lakes, the six major forces in the martial arts have gradually competed!

The righteous path is headed by the six major factions (Kongtong, Huashan, Firmament, Tianshan, Beggar Gang, Kunlun).

And the evil way has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes since the Holy Sect has been in the rivers and lakes for a hundred years, and the dragons have no leader, but thirty years ago, the Shura Hall rose and unified the evil way!

In addition to these two forces, there are three forces in the rivers and lakes, namely the Funeral Flower Palace, the Plain Girl Pavilion and the Shaolin Temple, but although these three forces are large, they rarely ask about martial arts.

This last force is from the imperial court, a hundred years ago there was a coup d'état in the imperial court, the thieves colluded with the people in the rivers and lakes, and wanted to usurp the throne.

But after this incident, the Emperor Taishang knew well the threat of the people in the rivers and lakes to the imperial court, so he set up a killing hall!

Clearly, it is to maintain law and order in the martial arts, but secretly, it is to monitor every move in the martial arts.

Now the six forces are standing in the rivers and lakes, and each force has a grandmaster!

Shaolin Temple Juekong Monk, Kongtong Sect Taishi Gong Song Yanming, Burial Flower Palace Master Red Lotus, Su Nu Pavilion Master Qu Lingshang, Shura Hall Ghost Yama King! These five people are the five grandmasters in the rivers and lakes!

And there is also a grandmaster in the imperial court, who is the current emperor Liu Yuanzong!

"Stop the Killing Hall, thank you Alliance Master, what do you mean by this?"

Hearing that he didn't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, Shen Wuxian asked puzzled.

"Alas... Now the Killing Hall is under the control of Nangong Huang, this person is a peerless master's realm, and his skills are on par with Xie Mou, but this person colludes with the Ghost Yama King! The Killing Hall is set up by the imperial court, wanting to maintain the law and order of the martial arts and prevent the vendetta of the rivers and lakes..."

With a long sigh, he stretched out his hands to close the window, Xie Tianhao sat back at the wine table, and explained with a solemn face: "But Nangong Huang abuses his power! Whenever the Shura Hall does evil, the Killing Hall is one step late, allowing the Shura Hall to kill innocent people and annex my small sect of the Righteous Path! And when I want to fight back, the Killing Hall will stop it in time and oppose the Righteous Path to deal with the Shura Palace! In this way, the strength of the Shura Hall will gradually grow, and it is not what it used to be... These two people both have their own ghosts, the ghost king wants to dominate the rivers and lakes and become the martial arts overlord! and Nangong Huang wants to be the person behind the control of the martial arts overlord!"

"Master Xie Meng, if it is true that Nangong Huang and the Ghost Yama King are in cahoots, these two should be killed!

Knowing the truth, Shen Wuxian showed a solemn look on his face and said in a deep voice.

"Shen Shaoxia, do you know something, Xie Mou and the six major factions have already wanted to destroy the Shura Palace! But the Killing Hall is obstructed everywhere, just because it was set up by the imperial court, and the people in the rivers and lakes cannot be enemies of the imperial court, and Nangong Huang is a person in the imperial court, so we can't kill him! We are also helpless, so we can only endure it for a while..."

Blinded by Shen Wuxi, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, Xie Tianhao explained weakly.

How can this Jianghu sect be able to defeat thousands of troops?

Now that Nangong Huang is abusing his power and acting for the tiger, the six major factions have nothing to do but secretly observe and wait for the opportunity.

"Master Xie, this matter is indeed tricky, but the matter of good and evil, no trace never asks... It's useless for you to say this to Traceless..."

Seeing Xie Tianhao's brows furrowed, worried about the survival of the righteous path, Shen Wuxian clenched his fists with both hands and replied apologetically.

Myself on the right path of martial arts... I've been disappointed for a long time!

"Shen Shaoxia, in the past two years, your deeds have been widely spread by everyone in the rivers and lakes... Wherever the silver flute boy goes, he punishes the evil and destroys the evil, and guards the right and wards off the evil! Now that I am in trouble on the right path, don't you want to help?"

Hearing Shen Wuxian's answer, he never thought that the other party was unwilling to ask, Xie Tianhao looked stunned, and then asked.

"Master Xie Meng, as you just said, this river and lake is no longer the same as before, you see... Who else has come to rescue these children today besides you and me? Even if they have been afraid of the imperial court and have endured for many years, the righteous path should never allow these innocent children to suffer! Without a trace has long been disappointed, I'm just a junior, the big things between good and evil, it's not my turn, and I don't need to take care of it... I'm sorry..."

Shaking his head, thinking of the child who died tragically in his arms, Shen Wuxian clenched his fists, his face was like frost.

In today's rivers and lakes, the righteous path will not be saved when it sees death, and it is selfish! What is right is no longer right, so how can we overcome evil?
