Chapter 704
"Of course, Vice Hall Master Zhong can rest assured. As long as you call Zhang Xiaohu over and check his cultivation, you will know."
Vice Hall Master Zhong shook his head. "This can't be considered as evidence. There are a lot of heavenly treasures in the Youlan Grand Canyon. Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted the inner court female disciples of the Lingering Fragrance Peak to enter the canyon for training. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohu's internal force cultivation is very low. Even if he doesn't use any high-grade heavenly treasures, it would be possible for him to increase his internal force."
Zhao Jian was jealous. Why can't I encounter such a thing?
Thus, he laughed, "Vice Hall Master Zhong is thinking too much. Being afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind is not Vice Hall Master Zhong's style."
"How dare you!" Vice Hall Master Zhong frowned and scolded.
Zhao Jian trembled and quickly said, "I don't dare. I don't have any other meaning. I just thought that if this matter is true, then this is a fat piece of meat sent to Vice Hall Master Zhong's mouth. If it is not true, then you can just wave your hand and let him go. Do you think he will turn around and blame you?"
"He dares?"
Vice Hall Master Zhong laughed, "He is just an ordinary disciple. In the eyes of your Misty School, he is only a direct disciple. But in my eyes, he is not even as good as you."
Immediately, he made up his mind and waved his hand, "Then tomorrow, we will take down Zhang Xiaohu and the others. I want to see what kind of trick they are playing!"
"This …" Zhao Jian heard that they were going to take down the three people and was happy. However, he hesitated and hesitated.
Seeing this, Vice Hall Master Zhong angrily said, "If you have something to say, then say it. If you don't want to say it, then don't let me see it."
Zhao Jian flattered, "Vice Hall Master Zhong is wise. At this time, I was thinking that if Zhang Xiaohu had some flaws and came back to collude with the Martial Uncles of the Misty School, wouldn't we be able to erase some of the clues we want to know?
What if we tell Hall Master Yang tomorrow and let Hall Master Yang have a preconceived idea?
Then … wouldn't we be in a passive position? "
Here, he directly said "we are passive", not "Vice Hall Leader Zhong is passive". Obviously, he tied Vice Hall Leader Zhong to the same boat as him.
Vice Hall Master Zhong gritted his teeth when he heard this, and his eyes narrowed as he said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. However, I'll make things clear. If you're hiding anything from me, then I'll absolutely not forgive you!"
Zhao Jian panicked and said, "This lowly one only has a little bit of selfishness. Everything else is out of consideration for you. If you can take a step further, then wouldn't this lowly one be able to enjoy it endlessly?"
Vice Hall Master Zhong changed his expression and said, "Humph, I know your selfishness. You can rest assured that as long as you are careful and loyal to me, even if this Zhang Xiaohu has nothing to do with the beast tide in the Youlan Grand Canyon, I will still take responsibility and protect you."
Zhao Jian was overjoyed as he cupped his hands and said, "I knew that following Vice Hall Master Zhong was the wisest decision in my life."
"Alright, I already know about your loyalty. You don't have to keep mentioning it."
After Vice Hall Master Zhong finished speaking, he took out a token from his bosom and handed it over, saying, "This is a token specially bestowed by the Sect Leader. Take it and dispatch the law enforcement disciples to capture Zhang Xiaohu and the other two and send them to the dungeon. I'll personally interrogate them in a while."
"Understood!" Zhao Jian was abnormally excited as he carefully took the token and turned around to leave.
Vice Hall Master Zhong stared at Zhao Jian's back as he left, and thought to himself, This guy is quite shrewd. Seeing that Zhang Xiaohu has the tendency to threaten him, he wants to find a way to restrain him.
Hehe, isn't this old man also thinking of weakening the Misty School's strength?
Fifty disciples have died, but Zhang Xiaohu and the others have appeared. Will these three be able to implicate the other disciples?
I'm looking forward to it! "
The situation in the Misty Hall was somewhat delicate. In order to control the disciples of the Misty School, the Sect Leader of the Fragrance Cult had dispatched Vice Hall Master Zhong Pei under Yang Ruping. However, Vice Hall Master Zhong couldn't go into the tiger's den alone, so he had dispatched dozens of law enforcement disciples to protect Zhong Pei's dignity. Moreover, he had also specially bestowed a token. If Vice Hall Master Zhong had any objections to Yang Ruping's decision, he could use this token to veto and delay the decision and hand it over to the Lingxiang Peak.
Therefore, Zhao Jian took this token and led the law enforcement disciples to easily capture Zhang Xiaohu, Changge, and Chen Chen in the dungeon.
When Zhao Jian was capturing Zhang Xiaohu, he had bad intentions. At first, he didn't let the law enforcement disciples come forward, but suddenly barged in himself. Zhang Xiaohu was circulating his qi and regulating his breathing, but Zhao Jian's sudden intrusion almost caused him to go mad. Moreover, Zhao Jian didn't answer and went forward with a fierce method, wanting to take Zhang Xiaohu's life. Zhang Xiaohu was confused and abnormally angry. When he saw Zhao Jian attacking, he naturally had to fight. As a result, without using any weapons, Zhang Xiaohu actually forced Zhao Jian to the point where he almost didn't have the strength to fight back, causing Zhao Jian to lose face. The jealousy in his heart, tsk tsk, was really indescribable.
Seeing that he was unable to cause Zhang Xiaohu's cultivation to go berserk and that he had verified his conjecture that Zhang Xiaohu's martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds, Zhao Jian took out the token and called out the disciplinary disciple from outside. Zhang Xiaohu recognized the token and the disciplinary disciple that all 'Ethereal Sect disciples' loathed and immediately understood what was going on.
After all, in the Youlan Grand Canyon that day, the disciples of the Misty School were hiding in the small forest. The blood wolves only passed by from a distance and didn't discover them. If it weren't for the two inexplicable horse neighs, the dozens of lives wouldn't have been lost in the Youlan Grand Canyon!
Therefore, Zhang Xiaohu and Changge whispered for a long time along the way, speculating about the horse neighs outside the forest. At that time, Zhao Jian and Xia Zihe had asked everyone to take good care of the horses. Who would want to die and let go of the horses?
The two of them couldn't be sure. Even when Zhang Xiaohu heard that Zhao Jian was still alive, he didn't dare to think too much about it. He only had a little suspicion. That day, everyone was focused on running for their lives, so who would pay attention to each other?
It was normal that he didn't see Zhao Jian's figure. However, at this moment, Zhao Jian actually brought law enforcement disciples from the Fragrant Religion to capture him. Wasn't this a blatant act of exposing three hundred taels of silver here?
Therefore, Zhang Xiaohu immediately stopped resisting and pretended that he didn't know anything. He smiled and said, "Senior Zhao, I don't know what mistake I made. I just returned from the Youlan Grand Canyon and you brought law enforcement disciples to capture me?
No matter what, we are still brothers who have gone through life and death together! "
Zhao Jian shook his head, "Junior Zhang, you have to understand. I also don't know what happened. It's just that Vice Hall Master Zhong wants to capture you. Please come with me. If you continue to fight, it will hurt the harmony between us brothers."
"Harmony?"
Zhang Xiaohu sneered in his heart, "If it wasn't for my great improvement in internal energy, wouldn't I have injured you?"
However, his face was very warm, "How about this, Senior Zhao. Just now, a disciple came over and asked me to go see the Hall Master. I was just about to go over. Why don't we go to the Hall Master together?"
Zhao Jian waved the token in his hand, "If it was any other day, I would definitely go see the Hall Master first. However, at this time, Junior Zhang should come with me first."
Zhang Xiaohu was helpless. He knew that he couldn't win against the law enforcement disciples. Even if he made a fuss, he wouldn't be able to do anything. He could only wait to be captured. His acupoints were sealed and he was thrown into the dungeon.
Zhang Xiaohu was a direct disciple of the Ethereal Sect. Even though he had passed away a long time ago, he was still taken care of in the Shixin Peak. His residence was different from the others and no other disciple knew that he had been captured.
However, capturing Changge and Chen Chen was different. The residence of the two was usually forbidden to male disciples. When Zhao Jian and the law enforcement disciples entered, they naturally attracted the attention of the female disciples. Changge and Chen Chen didn't resist, but when they were taken away, they were stopped by Aunt Qin who had received the news and rushed over. However, when she saw Zhao Jian's token, she could only let them go.
However, just in case, she sent several female disciples to follow behind the law enforcement disciples.
She quickly went to Yang Ruping's residence to seek help.
Thus, Zhao Jian easily captured the three of them. However, just as he invited Vice Hall Master Zhong over, Yang Ruping and Aunt Qin arrived as well!
Looking at Yang Ruping and Aunt Qin's angry expressions and stern questioning, Zhong Pei wasn't surprised in the slightest. He only smiled faintly and said, "Hall Master Yang is overthinking things. This one just suddenly felt that Zhang Xiaohu's group of three being able to escape from the Youlan Grand Canyon was very sudden and unreasonable. That's why I captured them and carefully questioned them."
Yang Ruping angrily said, "I also want to ask them tomorrow. You just need to call Zhang Xiaohu and the others to the Misty Hall tomorrow. Why did you make such a big fuss tonight?"
Zhong Pei was still indifferent as he said, "This matter is of great importance. Thousands of disciples in the Youlan Grand Canyon were buried in the stomach of the beasts. I was afraid that there would be some changes tonight, so I had to make such a hasty decision!"
"You …" Yang Ruping was so angry that she laughed, "You actually think that Zhang Xiaohu and the others are related to the beast tide?"
"Isn't it?"
Zhong Pei's expression was still the same as he said, "Using elk to pull the carriage, three people with ordinary martial arts to bring four large carriages, and even saving an inner disciple and a disciple of the Pill Expanding Hall. Hall Master Yang can't even understand this!"
"This is also what I want to ask tomorrow!" Yang Ruping said sternly.
"Then I will ask on behalf of Hall Master Daren tonight, so that Hall Master Daren doesn't have to worry!"
Seeing Zhong Pei so fearless, Yang Ruping angrily said, "Are you the Hall Master of the Misty Hall or am I the Hall Master?
Quickly release them for me! "
Zhong Pei cupped his hands and said, "This Misty Hall is naturally Hall Master Yang's Misty Hall. However, I was appointed by Sect Master Daren and had to deal with matters that Hall Master Yang can't bear to deal with.
Zhang Xiaohu didn't give me a reasonable explanation about the Youlan Grand Canyon, so I can't release him! "
"Good, good, good!"
Yang Ruping said with a smile, "I will send someone to the Lingering Fragrance Peak to report this matter to Sect Master Daren and wait for Sect Master Daren's decision!"
"Hall Master Yang doesn't need to worry. I have already sent someone just now. Hall Master Yang only needs to wait calmly."
