Volume 13 Seven Weapons: Love Ring Chapter 322 Taking Over
Both of them were burned black all over, and the pale man even had more than half of his hair burned off.
Although Su Weiyun was covered in black dust, he looked calm and neatly dressed, and it was obvious that he was not injured at all.
Minister He looked at the house that collapsed but was still burning fiercely, and said thankfully: "Fortunately, the Lord came out in time, otherwise it would be difficult to put out the fire with the glass of light wine in my hand."
The man with a mustache touched his beard, as if wondering if he could ensure that the two tufts of beard would remain intact if he went in.
The old scholar stepped forward and said, "It's good that it's burning, but unfortunately the fire is not strong enough. Since we are here, we can't just follow the old ways. We should break away from the old ways and establish something new."
He stretched out his long, skinny fingers, felt the breath of the two people, and said, "Yes, they are still breathing."
Minister He smiled and said, "As long as you have energy, you can save them, right?"
The old scholar smiled proudly, said no more, just picked up the two of them, floated down, and went to an empty house in the distance.
When Minister He saw him walking away, he said, "Why bother saving them? It's just a waste of energy."
Su Weiyun suddenly said, "There is a faint mark on the back of a man. He is probably a member of the Qinglong Society Jiuyue. We can at least get some information from him."
Minister He said, "Oh? What about the other man with a broken wrist?"
Su Weiyun said: "There is a tube of seven-star bone-piercing nails on his broken wrist, and the nails on the man's chest came from one of them."
Minister He laughed and said, "Haha, your Lordship has a keen eye that I cannot even begin to compare to. So maybe the man with the broken wrist is the vanguard sent by the Western Demon Cult?"
"It's possible."
After Su Weiyun finished saying this, he went down from the roof. He did not go looking for the core of Tianxiang Hall, nor did he intend to look for the location of the treasure house in the courtyard.
He just found a quiet room and a big bed, then lay down and had a good sleep.
…
the next day.
The people in Tianxiang Hall woke up , the guards began to patrol, and the manager who was in charge of the business also got busy, with everyone doing their own job.
But many people were terrified because they knew that they did not stay on duty yesterday when they should have, but fell asleep without realizing it.
The next morning, when they woke up, they found that a large house in the eighth courtyard had been burned down and had now turned to ashes.
If there were not so few houses in the eighth courtyard and the area was not empty, the fire would not have spread out, and they might have died in the fire.
The strange thing is that no one came to trouble them or question them about their crimes today.
They just pretended that they knew nothing and didn't say anything or ask anything.
Then they discovered something even stranger - their hall master Ge Tingxiang was missing, and his two most trusted confidants, Wang Tong and Ge Xin, were also missing.
There was only one person left in charge of Tianxiang Hall - the Hall Master Xiao Shaoying who had a broken wrist.
Although Hall Master Xiao is not dead yet, he was burned unconscious by the fire last night and is now recovering under the care of an old doctor.
The person who gave orders for him was a drunkard whom no one had ever seen before. He looked crazy and very weird, and claimed to be Minister He.
He also said that Ge Tingxiang had taken his trusted aides to the Central Plains to plan a big event, and that he would take over Tianxiangtang for a short period of time.
——As long as you dare to say this, there will definitely be people who dare not believe it.
But after seventeen unbelievers died in succession, the remaining people no longer had the courage to say they didn't believe.
In the study, in the secret room.
The person in charge of intelligence at Tianxiang Hall was standing upright, waiting for orders. He had been waiting for half an hour.
Minister He, who was sitting on a wooden chair, was drinking one cup of wine after another. He finally said something leisurely when the wine jug was empty.
"You said that the major forces in the northwest area have not made any major moves, right?"
"yes."
"There haven't been any new gangs popping up recently?"
"Except for a small gang called the Black Tiger Gang that has just formed about 150 miles away, there should be no other gangs."
"Should there be no, or is there definitely no?"
The man was sweating slightly and explained nervously: "My subordinates have used all their strength to investigate. In the northwest area... we really can't find any new rising power!"
Minister He smiled and said, "Okay, I don't like killing people, and I won't make things difficult for you. Your salary this year will be doubled, so go now."
The man felt relieved, and joy immediately overwhelmed his nervousness. He kept saying, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
After Minister He sent the visitor away, he walked out of the study and went to Su Weiyun's residence, ready to tell him all the information he had sorted out about Tianxiangtang.
The ninth courtyard is the most central location of the entire Tianxiang Hall.
Every lord always likes to set his residence in the center. There is a reason for this. They sit in the center, close to all directions, so they can check everywhere at the fastest speed.
For example, now Minister He quickly walked to Su Weiyun's room.
He saw from afar that Su Weiyun was reading a book.
It was the yellow book with gold thread that Gong Jiu handed to him.
Minister He was actually very curious, because he didn't know which school of martial arts it belonged to.
He moved closer and took a furtive glance, and saw the first word at the beginning of the right side of the yellow book.
It is a word "easy".
"Oh, it's Minister He. Did you find out anything from your investigation?"
Minister He quickly straightened his clothes and bowed, saying, "My Lord, I have ordered Tianxiang Hall to send out all its personnel to investigate, but to no avail. I guess the Western Demon Cult must be acting in secret and not being noticed."
Su Weiyun asked, "Could it be that they want to attack us from the dark and get to the heart of the matter?"
Minister He said, "I don't know about that. But the Azure Dragon Society has reported that the Western Demon Cult has destroyed the Kunlun Sect, recruited its people, and is now in the Great Light Realm. Their leader has also invited some hidden masters to come out, so their power is so great that we must be cautious."
"In the best case, they are still in the process of integration and have not yet arrived; in the worst case, they are already secretly watching the Azure Dragon Society, waiting for us to reveal a flaw!"
Su Weiyun nodded: "Yes. I understand. By the way, have you figured out the identities of the two people I rescued?"
Minister He said, "The man with the nail in his chest is called Li Qianshan. He was originally a disciple of Shuanghuan Sect, but later became an insider of Tianxiang Hall. However, he is actually a two-faced villain. He actually belongs to the September 9th branch of our Qinglong Society. This time, Ge Tingxiang was killed and all the masters of Tianxiang Hall were wiped out. He can be credited with a great contribution."
Su Weiyun didn't know whether it was good or bad, and asked again: "What about the other one?"
Minister He continued, "The man with the broken wrist was also a disciple of Shuanghuan Sect. His name was Xiao Shaoying. He was later expelled from the sect for committing a crime. After many twists and turns, he became one of the branch masters of Tianxiang Hall. But in my opinion, he is probably here for revenge."
"Xiao Shaoying..."
Su Weiyun said: "This seems to be a friend that Liu Changjie mentioned to me..."
Before he could finish, Minister He said, "Then I will immediately send someone to send him to the Central Plains to recuperate."
Su Weiyun said: "Okay. Where is the September Flag Master?"
Minister He's expression became a little strange, and he replied: "The September Banner Masters were originally my previous master's men, but they obeyed orders and went overseas..."
Su Weiyun frowned.
The September Flag was originally a force under the old man's command, but now they have simply left this mess here and ignored it.
Minister He sighed, "The Central Plains martial arts world has nothing to do with him. He has been looking forward to chaos in the Central Plains for a long time. The invasion of the Western Demon Cult is exactly what he wants to see."
Su Weiyun suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, then there is only one last thing."
"Please tell me what you want."
"Take me to see Li Qianshan."
