77. Public Court
Before Su Huanzhen could speak, Teng Xie exclaimed softly, "Sage Su, your conspiracy with the Demon Realm has been exposed."
Su Huanzhen looked at Teng Xie with a dark expression. What good will it do you to say that?
Tengxie shrugged and said, "I don't care if I have too many lice or too many debts. It doesn't matter."
Su Huanzhen had no choice but to turn to Yun Chuiye and politely ask, "Brother Yun, does the Bridge Master have something to discuss with me?"
Yun Chuiye did not reveal his origins, but the knife box he was holding clearly had the four characters "Six Extremes Heavenly Bridge" written on it.
"Our lord invites martial arts practitioners from all sides to a martial arts conference at the Three Realms Rock in ten days to discuss the future direction of the martial arts world. This is the invitation."
Su Huanzhen accepted the gold-embossed invitation, saying, "I will definitely go."
Yun Chuiye nodded, turned and left without even glancing at Teng Xie.
"Sage Su, I'm certain this person is not an imposter."
Just as Su Huanzhen was about to open the invitation, he heard Teng Xie say this.
"Huh? What did the War General see?"
"Of course, this person and that compassionate Bu Nanji are birds of a feather."
"Ah, perhaps Yun Chuiye is not good with words and did not expect the War Commander to be here, so he does not know how to deal with it."
"Or perhaps the dog's attitude reflects the owner's attitude. Oh dear, this martial arts tournament shouldn't turn into some kind of pep rally."
What oath-taking ceremony? A demon-slaying oath-taking ceremony? Su Huanzhen quickly said, "I spoke with the Bridge Master before, and he doesn't have any specific views on the Demon Realm. Perhaps I could go and see the Bridge Master again to clarify the situation?"
Teng Xie spoke nonchalantly, "Then I'll trouble Su Xian..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly paused, and then he saw an elderly man with white hair, vigorous spirit, and extraordinary demeanor approaching with a slightly worried expression on his face.
"Su Huanzhen, I have something to tell you."
"Ah, it's Senior Ling Cangshui."
Su Huanzhen quickly greeted the old man. Teng Xie's heart stirred. "Sage Su, who is this esteemed person?"
"Commander, this is Senior Ling Cangshui, and he is Ling Wei's father."
"Oh, it's an honor to meet you. I am Teng Xielang."
Ling Cangshui nodded heavily, then suddenly paused, realizing that this was the man who had snatched his son's things. He quickly said, "So it's you, sir. Young Master Ling Wei was ignorant and caused you trouble."
Ling Cangshui wasn't involved with Yin Yang Teng Xie; he knew very well what was going on with that silly boy Ling Wei. When he first heard that Ling Wei had gotten a pair of gloves and then went to the Sinful Pit to challenge the Mad Dragon, he was almost scared out of his wits.
Fortunately, Teng Xielang showed mercy, only taking the gloves and returning them to Ling Wei unharmed. Ling Cangshui, being worldly-wise and gentle, had no intention of settling scores with Teng Xielang.
"where."
Teng Xie took out the power to shake the heavens, "This is Ling Wei's glove, and it is also the biggest focus of the martial arts world today, one of the five great artifacts of the Ghost River;
I won't say there's any reason why so many people covet this divine artifact. It would be very dangerous for Ling Wei to have it. I was just curious and took it to use it. Now that I've used it, you might as well take it back.
"No, no need."
Seeing Teng Xie hand over the gloves, Ling Cangshui quickly refused, took a step back, and said in a deep voice, "Since this item is destined for you, you may keep it. I have absolutely no interest in it."
"Oh well."
Teng Xie didn't refuse again, although he really wanted someone else to take over the power of shaking the heavens and see how it would work when integrated into flesh and blood.
But Ling Cangshui was a reclusive and virtuous man, with no interest in the divine artifact, so he didn't force him to pursue it.
Seeing this, Ling Cangshui breathed a slight sigh of relief and then revealed his purpose: "Su Huanzhen, the Gui Liang Army has been destroyed."
"ha?!"
Su Huanzhen was immediately startled. "What's going on?"
Ling Cangshui shook his head. "I don't know the specifics either. It was Yan Qingcheng, the young mistress of Guiliang Military Mansion, who was being chased by assassins. She ran to the vicinity of my house and I rescued her. She said she didn't know what happened, only that a group of assassins suddenly attacked without warning. When I went to investigate, Guiliang Military Mansion was already wiped out."
"this……"
Su Huanzhen frowned. He realized he couldn't figure out the motive behind this. With the death of Gui Liang Tianxia, the prestige, strength, and influence of Gui Liang Military Bureau had plummeted, posing no threat to any force.
"Could it be that someone has an old grudge against the Lord of the Manor?"
Teng Xie suddenly spoke up, "Perhaps someone believes that the Ghost Liang Military Bureau is hiding some secret? Or perhaps they think Yan Qingcheng knows something?"
In Teng Xie's memory, this was something that Gui Liang Tianxia, that cunning old fox, had orchestrated to kill someone and silence them, and that person was none other than Yan Qingcheng.
Yan Qingcheng actually has some special abilities, such as being able to see fragments of the future. Gui Liang Tianxia used this ability to find the secret of the Crouching Dragon Journey and obtain the Nuyuan Heart Flow Manual.
"Um……"
Su Huanzhen nodded. "That is indeed possible. Senior Ling, would you please take care of Miss Yan for a while? I will inquire about the details later."
"Yes, that's fine."
Ten days later.
The Rock of the Three Realms.
The master of the Six Extremes Bridge issued a large-scale invitation to heroes, and the Three Realms Rock was already packed with people.
Moreover, important figures in the martial arts world, such as Su Huanzhen, Tan Wuyu, Ye Xiaochai, Tianlaiyan, and Chi Yunran, all came to attend the ceremony.
When the time comes.
"The law of the public is awe-inspiring and shakes the heavens; the bridge of heaven is majestic and suppresses the universe."
The Six Extremes Sky Bridge descended from the sky, and a sphere of light shining with holy radiance came down from the bridge.
He transformed into a man dressed in a cloud-dragon robe, holding a coiled dragon pearl, exuding a profound and majestic aura.
Then four orbs of light flew in from all directions.
Transforming into three men and one woman, many martial arts practitioners immediately recognized that the dignified high monk was Yingluoyeti, the solemn Taoist priest was Nanming Daozhen, and the stern-faced middle-aged man was Famen Fawuwu.
That gentle and intellectual dignified woman was Chu Junyi, the Confucian matriarch.
All four were highly respected figures in the martial arts world and were leaders of their respective sects. Many martial artists were intrigued that the master of the Six Extremes Heavenly Bridge could invite these four to help him; their backgrounds were indeed extraordinary.
"Fellow martial arts practitioners, I am Zhao Mu Zun. I have come here today to invite four friends to jointly establish a martial arts public court, seeing the world in chaos, with evil spirits and heretics running rampant and the martial arts world in turmoil..."
These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience. It seemed that Zhao Muzun was about to become the master of the martial arts world, and the world was about to undergo another dramatic change.
"Please hear me out."
After a moment of discussion, Zhao Muzun and the others continued, "The Public Court has no intention of ruling the martial arts world; it only seeks to arbitrate disputes, eliminate conflicts, and create peace..."
After uttering a long string of lofty and righteous words, Zhao Muzun continued, "After the establishment of the Public Court, there are three main objectives: first, to arbitrate conflicts and disputes in the martial arts world; second, to reclaim the divine artifacts that have disrupted the peace of the martial arts world; and third, to eliminate the assassin organization Youyan Zhengfu."
These words sparked another round of discussion among the audience. The arbitration dispute directly affected the interests of the martial arts community, and the artifact was also the focus of everyone's attention... It's just a mystery how Youyan Zhengfu offended Zhaomu Zun.
Although hiring someone to commit murder is considered shameful by martial arts practitioners, who can guarantee that they won't need Youyan Zhengfu someday?
