In the spacious hall, a middle-aged warrior sat at the head of the table. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He gave off a great sense of oppression as he looked around.
Below him were two young warriors, one tall and one short, who looked restrained.
These two young martial artists were none other than Zhao Gangyi and his junior brother, Guo Zhengyang.
The middle-aged warrior sitting at the head of the table was Zhao Jing, the Left Guardian of the Scorching Sun Gang in Qinghe Town. His strength was second only to the leader of the sect, Liu Dong. He was also their master.
"I heard that you challenged Ziyue to a match?"
An indifferent voice suddenly came from Zhao Jing's mouth.
"Yes …"
Zhao Gangyi's body trembled as he replied in a low voice.
In today's match, he had been sent flying by a single punch. He had lost miserably.
Even his self-confidence had been destroyed. When he replied to his master, his voice was a little hoarse.
"Idiot!"
Zhao Jing reprimanded and said, "Originally, in this selection for outstanding disciple status, with my relationship with Elder Nie, you still had a chance. Now, it seems that you should stop dreaming."
"Master, does Senior Brother really not have a chance at all?"
Guo Zhengyang hurriedly asked.
"If your talent is not as good as others, you can still rely on your strength. If your strength is not as good as others, what right do you have to compete?
Ziyue is the disciple of the sect leader. Do you think that he is an ordinary gang member that you can bully as you wish? "
Zhao Jing snorted coldly and said in a complicated tone.
…
Just like Ziyue now rented a house outside, Zhao Gangyi and Guo Zhengyang also rented two houses at the entrance of the North Street.
The two houses were not far from each other. Occasionally, they would buy some food and drink together to talk about things.
At this moment, in Zhao Gangyi's room, Guo Zhengyang looked at Zhao Gangyi, who was gulping down hard liquor, and said indignantly, "Brother Zhao, are you going to give up just like that? Are you willing to give up the outstanding disciple status to Ziyue?"
"What can I do?
Master has already said that his talent and strength are inferior to others, so don't even dream about it. "
Shaking his head, Zhao Gangyi poured another bowl of wine and gulped it down.
If it was possible, how could he be willing to give up this opportunity?
In order to become an outstanding disciple, he had prepared for three whole years.
"It's not like there's no way at all."
Glancing at Zhao Gangyi, Guo Zhengyang rolled his eyes and suddenly said.
"What is it?"
Zhao Gangyi couldn't help but pause in his actions.
"As long as that Ziyue dies, wouldn't everything be fine?"
Guo Zhengyang's voice was very soft, so soft that it could not be heard if one did not listen carefully. However, in Zhao Gangyi's ears, it was like a sudden clap of thunder. "Are you crazy?"
"That Ziyue is the Sect Leader's disciple. Even if the Sect Leader doesn't know about it, our lives will be in danger. Do you think the Sect Leader will offend the Sect Leader for us?"
To be honest, at that moment, Zhao Gangyi was a little tempted, but his heart was still full of worries.
If Ziyue was just an ordinary inner disciple, he would do it without hesitation.
Over the years, there were not many people who had offended him who came out unscathed, and there was no lack of inner disciples in the sect.
However, Ziyue's identity as the Sect Leader's disciple still made him extremely wary.
"You don't understand the Sect Leader at all.
Why would the Sect Leader be so angry that Brother Zhao went to compete with Ziyue and lost?
Isn't it because you ruined the Sect Leader's important matter? "
Guo Zhengyang said with a cold smile.
"What important matter?" Zhao Gangyi's face was full of disbelief, but he could not help but reveal a curious expression.
"You also know that the Sect Leader has been relatively idle these years. Do you know the real reason?
The Sect Leader's suppression!
All along, the Sect Leader has been suppressing the Sect Leader.
Right Guardian Liu Yang is in charge of mining, restaurants, gambling, and the Wind Moon Ship, all of which are businesses that make money.
What about the Sect Leader?
The only thing that makes sense is the shipping business. The other businesses are all cumbersome and piecemeal, and they don't make much money at all.
Therefore, the Sect Leader has long had the intention to jump out of Qinghe Town and develop in Wujiang County.
However, he has been suppressed by the Sect Leader, so he did not succeed.
Originally, if your identity as an outstanding disciple was confirmed, with the Sect Leader's previous relationship, he could naturally make a good plan.
However, now that your identity as an outstanding disciple has been ruined, do you think the Sect Leader would not be angry? "
"These are only your guesses."
Zhao Gangyi said with some hesitation.
"Think about it yourself and you will know whether this is the case or not."
Guo Zhengyang saw that Zhao Gangyi was already tempted and his heart relaxed. He struck while the iron was hot and said, "If Ziyue is still alive, the Sect Leader will naturally value him. However, once he is dead … No one will care about a dead genius.
Besides, as long as we do it secretly, who will know that it was us who did it?
Even if someone suspects us, I believe the Sect Leader will protect us. "
"I need to think about this carefully.
Moreover, my strength is not Ziyue's match at all. "
Zhao Gangyi frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Brother Zhao, in ten days, the Elder Nie of the outstanding disciple assessment will arrive. You don't have much time left.
Moreover, you and I are not the only ones who don't like Ziyue. Three years ago, Wang Jian was sent to the mines. Isn't his relationship with Senior Brother good?
There is also Zhang Bo, who was demoted and sent away because of Ziyue. Now, he is working under the Sect Leader.
I think their hatred for Ziyue is much deeper than ours.
Most importantly, they are strong enough to deal with a Ziyue who has not yet grown up. It will be very easy. "
As he said this, Guo Zhengyang's face revealed a trace of ruthlessness.
"Junior Brother Guo, I am very curious. Why are you so concerned about this matter?"
Zhao Gangyi narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Guo Zhengyang.
Although he had drunk wine, it did not mean that he was drunk. Guo Zhengyang had been leading and sowing discord, which made him somewhat suspicious of Guo Zhengyang's purpose.
"Aren't I thinking for you, Brother Zhao?
Moreover, the Sect Leader also wants to do this.
If you don't dare to do it, I don't care. After all, I won't get the title of outstanding disciple. "
Guo Zhengyang's heart skipped a beat and he pretended to be angry.
"Humph, I don't think you have the guts."
Zhao Gangyi coldly snorted. For a long time, Guo Zhengyang had regarded himself as a little brother in front of him, which made him look down on him. Therefore, he did not pay too much attention to him. In his heart, he began to think about the feasibility of this matter.
After all, he was only at the outer forging level. Even if he had cultivated the Vajra Jade Lock Tactic to the marrow level and was only one step away from the peak of the outer forging level, he was only one or two levels higher than Bai Ziyue. If he managed to escape, it would be a big problem for Bai Ziyue.
Therefore, there was still one more person. Zhang Kuang's strength was enough. It was said that he had broken through to the Inner Forging Level, but if they wanted to ask him to help, the price would be higher.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gangyi felt a headache coming on. However, when he saw Guo Zhengyang, who had been watching his expression, he smiled.
Since it was Guo Zhengyang's suggestion, he naturally had to put in some effort as well.
