Jinyuan Town.
It was about forty miles away from the Bai Family Fort.
It was neither too far nor too close. The town was not small either, so it was just right.
The Huaichuan's Avengers Alliance had used this place as their outpost and had gathered here illegally. They had already issued a formal challenge to the Bai Family Fort in two days' time. It could be said that they had come with ill intentions.
Sun Lang came at the right time.
Now that all the heroes had arrived, it was even more spectacular than the time in the Huaichuan Divine Artifact Instance Dungeon. Everyone was ready to do something big.
The nature of today's event was very different from the one in Huaichuan. In the Huaichuan Divine Artifact Instance Dungeon, everyone was a potential competitor. On the surface, they were all smiling, but in their hearts, they hoped that they would be the lucky one to obtain the Divine Artifact Instance Dungeon … But this time, things were different!
The Gold Radiant Sword Saint had killed so many heroes in order to obtain a Divine Artifact Instance Dungeon. What kind of behavior was this?
This was the behavior of the Demon Cult!
Those hundreds of lives could not be forgotten. As the saying goes, if a prince breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people. Even if you are a hero of Tianyuan, even if the Bai Family Fort is powerful, you still have to give the heroes of Jianghu an explanation!
Otherwise, if you can't reason with them, you will have to use your sword to negotiate!
Therefore, everyone came here for the so-called justice and justice. They naturally occupied the moral high ground. The enemy was the incomparably powerful Sword Saint's family. Everyone had to be fearless and brave to fight. Naturally, there was a sense of common hatred for the enemy.
Therefore, the atmosphere in Jinyuan Town was unexpectedly good. Sun Lang entered Jinyuan Town and received a lot of smiles along the way.
Previously, he deliberately changed into a Jianghu person's appearance in a restaurant of the Bai Family Fort. He even put on a wig and dressed up as a young swordsman. He originally planned to cosplay as Li Xiaoyao, but then he thought that the guy's ending would not be good. Wuxia games from the old era loved to play this kind of game. It was fine in the past, but after more than twenty years, there was still no progress. It seemed that other than playing sad and sadistic games, they did not know how to make games.
… Oh, no, they have learned how to play with emotions now.
After expressing his greetings to Yao Xiansen through the crystal wall to the other world, Sun Lang left the flashy horse at the inn. Carrying a metal sword, he slowly walked into Jinyuan Town.
There were two things in Jianghu … What? Fine wine and beautiful women?
No, it was bragging and fighting.
First, there was the appearance of the Huai Chuan Godly Sword. Then, there was the murder of the Gold Radiance Sword Saint. In less than a month, these two events had shaken the martial world. Jianghu would definitely have a lot of topics to talk about. If, a few months later, you mentioned these two events to your new friends, and if you could calmly say, "These two events … I happened to be there at the right time", everyone would definitely think highly of you.
— In fact, even if you were just there to watch the fun, you could still brag about it. After all, they would not know.
Along the way, Sun Lang heard a lot of bragging. Speaking of which, this guy was also good at acting. Along the way, he had made a lot of friends and obtained a lot of reliable and unreliable news. Everyone had gathered here to ask the Bai family for an explanation for the Huaichuan murder case. Therefore, the most discussed topic was naturally what happened that day.
Therefore, Sun Lang heard many versions of the Huai Chuan Murder Case.
There were two points of interest in this matter. First, how could they be sure that it was Bai Yuwei?
Second, Bai Yuwei was a famous general of Tianyuan Empire, the Gold Radiance Sword Saint, and one of the few great masters in the world. How could he casually kill people?
There were several pieces of evidence for the former. First, there were pictures drawn by the survivors. Many people who had seen Bai Yuwei said that he was Old Master Bai. Second, when the old bastard Bai went berserk and slaughtered the innocent people, no one could stop him. At the critical moment, a hero from the sky beat the crazy murderer back. Everyone heard him call out Bai Yuwei's name.
Obviously, this logic was not perfect, but … this matter was not simple at all.
[What a hero from the heavens …]
The hero who descended from the sky touched his chin. He suddenly had a bold idea.
— When I beat up Bai Yuwei, I didn't think too much. Many people must have seen me. So, at this moment, I will appear in Jinyuan Town as the mysterious master who beat Bai Yuwei back. Then, I will raise my arms and call for people to support me as the leader of this Avengers Alliance.
— Huh?
It sounded very exciting!
He could not help but imagine Bai Zhenming's expression when he led a large group of Jianghu people to the Bai Family Castle and shouted "Down with the Tiger in the Army!"
The more Sun Lang thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. He found a place to rest and began to think about the possibility of this plan.
Now that things had escalated to such a stage where the Jianghu people gathered to attack the Bai Family Castle, there must be someone behind this. Needless to say, the mastermind must be the Emperor's family. They had a lot of resources at their disposal, and they were also very evil. Who knew what kind of sinister scheme they were plotting? It was easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to defend against a stab in the dark.
Therefore, the best way to solve the conspiracy was to become a part of it!
Didn't you want to organize this illegal gathering?
Didn't you want to gather the Jianghu people to cause trouble at the Bai Family Castle?
Then I might as well be the leader of this Avengers Alliance!
Look, my martial arts skills are so high, and I was the one who defeated Bai Yuwei. Whether it is in terms of martial arts, contribution, or participation, I am the undisputed number one!
Therefore, if I become the leader of this Avengers Alliance, you will definitely have to follow the rules. Everything will be done according to the basic rules, and there will be no sense of an imperial decision at all. This is called democracy, isn't it?
After I become the leader of this Avengers Alliance, I will contact Bai Zhenming and have both sides verify their statements. When the time comes, I will put on a show and come up with a good plan. Who knows, I might be able to fool them without any mishaps …
— It was a good idea, and it was very feasible.
However, it was also very risky.
The mastermind behind this matter would definitely not let it go so easily. They would definitely have countermeasures in place. He did not want to fall into their trap and make things worse …
Sun Lang was calculating in his mind when he suddenly heard a shout, "Everyone, go to the center of the town. Hero Yang and the others have something to say!"
When he was chatting with the Jianghu people, Sun Lang had also filled them in with some martial arts knowledge. This Hero Yang was the Sword Saint Tianxin. His name was Yang Tiandu, and he was a typical Jianghu person. He was the idol of countless Jianghu girls, and also Sun Lang's enemy.
Therefore, after hearing about Hero Yang's dissolute deeds, Sun Lang had already made up his mind. He would definitely find a time to beat him up, put a gunnysack over his head, and put him on the ground in an alley.
After hearing this shout, most of the Jianghu people who were drinking and bragging in the various restaurants and teahouses in the town put down their cups, paid their bills, and left. Only a few arrogant people remained where they were, as if they were disdainful of such matters. Sun Lang listened to the discussions of these Jianghu people, and he had a rough idea of what was going on.
According to Bai Zhenming's report, the Sword Saint Tianxin, Yang Tiandu, was an elder of this Avengers Alliance. He had been the most active when he gathered everyone up the mountain to cause trouble. Now that he was going to give an important speech, it was likely that he was going to organize a meeting to set up a plan. For example, he was going to choose a leader or something.
Sun Lang didn't have any good impression of this dissolute Hero Yang. He hated this kind of person who went around messing around. He didn't have Hero Sun's chastity, so … …
— He would go and cause trouble, and see if there were any opportunities.
Thus, he straightened his body and placed the iron sword in his hand on his shoulder. Just like an ordinary young swordsman, he looked left and right with excitement and yearning for the major events of Jianghu. He could not hide his excitement.
— This scoundrel's acting was really good.
He followed the crowd for a while. It was bustling with activity, and it took him a long time to reach the center of the town. There was a large plaza there, with dozens of bonfires burning. A large stage had been set up in the center.
A few Jianghu people wearing the same uniform were maintaining order. They seemed to be from the same sect, and they seemed to be of high status.
The Jianghu people who had gathered were in a mess. They stood in three circles on the inside and outside of the plaza, chattering in all directions. It was completely the rhythm of an illegal gathering … Sun Lang shook his head. What a good opportunity. Bai Zhenming, that idiot, with the current situation, it was like thousands of illegal armed forces had gathered to cause trouble. He just needed to find a prefectural general and lead the troops to surround them. First, he would capture the leaders and handcuff them to the radiators for two days. Then, he would be able to gain the upper hand and stir up the situation.
After waiting patiently for a while, seeing that almost everyone had arrived, a lukewarm voice sounded in everyone's ears amidst the clamor.
"Heroes, this humble one greets you."
Sun Lang dug his ears. — His inner strength was not bad.
The crowd was silent for a moment, and then the noise rang out again.
"Greetings, Hero Yang!"
"Good kung fu!"
"Brother Yang, since we parted in Jingyang, how have you been?"
Unknowingly, a tall figure in a fluttering robe had appeared on the stage in the center. He smiled and cupped his hands in salute. He looked like a scoundrel with a knife hidden in his smile.
— Sun Lang had already made a conclusion about Hero Yang in his heart.
Then, he heard Hero Yang say, "We are all Jianghu people, so I won't waste time on pleasantries.
Heroes, you have all traveled thousands of miles to come here. Naturally, it is because of an earth-shattering event that happened a few days ago. To tell you the truth, after I heard about it, I rushed here from Shangzhou on a fast horse. I didn't sleep for three days and three nights, because this matter … is really too much! "
These last few words were infused with internal energy and were filled with anger. It exploded in everyone's ears and everyone could feel his anger.
For a moment, the crowd in the plaza was furious.
Most people's emotions were easily stirred up.
