I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 213 Come in!
Hearing Xie Lingyun's words, the young gentleman on the other side paused, then grinned: "That tomb is a cure for all kinds of stubbornness! If it weren't for my close friendship with your father, I would never have advised you."

Hearing the young master's words, Xie Lingyun was curious. After thinking for a moment, he still did not move. Instead, he drank the mutton soup slowly: "After today, the Great Victory Congress will be very lively, very lively!"

"Some people are going to get mad." The young master said, "Zhang Chen is extremely hated. After today, the strong men in the world will want to crush him to ashes."

In the barren mountains, Zhong Xiang led his army and sat there quietly, looking at the movement below the mountain. He was still recalling Zhang Chen's words in his heart: "Zhang Chen argued with me for a few words, and I was so angry that I fainted? With that guy's ability to irritate people, I'm afraid it's not as simple as fainting."

Zhong Xiang suddenly became worried about his little grandfather. For a moment, he sat there with a worried look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the distance, and the masters of the Inspection Office came chasing from the bottom of the mountain, panting heavily, as tired as old dogs: "Zhang Chen has escaped here, hand him over quickly."

The leader of the Inspection Office clearly did not see Zhang Chen rushing over, but at this time he insisted that Zhang Chen rushed in.

It was obvious that Zhong Xiang and Xie Lingyun had communicated with each other in advance.

"Hmph, this is my camp, how can I allow you to intrude at will?" Zhong Xiang snorted coldly when he heard this and confronted the leader.

While talking, both sides tacitly kept their distance and just stood in front of the camp and engaged in a war of words.

Before everyone had to wait long, they saw the masters of Pingbian Palace and the masters of Confucianism all rushing over.

"Where is Zhang Chen? Where has Zhang Chen gone?" Zhang Xiaohua called out loudly.

The head of the Inspection Office quickly took over the conversation and said, "Young Prince, Zhang Chen fled to the opposite camp and jumped into a cave in the camp. I wanted to search, but was stopped by this person. I dare not act rashly. Please make the decision, Your Highness."

Zhang Xiaohua glanced at the camp opposite and saw the hundreds of elite warriors. She knew that they were extraordinary, so she stepped forward and asked, "I am the prince of Pingbian Palace. Who is the boss of this camp? Please come out and see me."

"Greetings, Your Highness. My name is Zhong Xiang, and I'm the commander of the camp!" Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiang walked forward and saluted Zhang Xiaohua with his hands clasped together.

"So it's Nan Qilin in person. I'm so sorry!" Zhang Xiaohua was also shocked when he heard that. He had heard of Nan Qilin's reputation a long time ago, but he didn't expect that it was the heroic young man in front of him.

"I have been chasing the wanted criminal Zhang Chen all the way, but he actually escaped into your camp. Please hand Zhang Chen over. I will be very grateful." Zhang Xiaohua is by no means a brainless playboy and is very polite to Zhong Xiang.

Zhong Xiang looked at Zhang Xiaohua, whose face was covered with scars and one ear was missing, and was surprised. He thought to himself, "Zhang Chen is such a ruthless guy. Zhang Xiaohua, such a brave young man, was turned into this state. He really has no scruples or fear at all."

Thinking about how that bastard had stabbed her butt without any cover, Zhang Xiaohua became a little angry and said to herself, "Yeah, that guy is just a cheap bastard, how could he know the background of a big family?"

Zhang Xiaohua spoke politely, and Zhong Xiang responded politely as well: "My young prince has spoken, so I should give you a favor and obey you unconditionally. But it just so happens that I am here to do something recently. There are some secrets in the camp that cannot be disturbed. How about I wait until I finish my business, then I will personally catch that guy and make amends for you?"

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned when she heard this: "Doing things? Could it be that the rumors in the city are true? Have you really found the entrance to the tomb?"

Rumors were spreading like wildfire down the mountain, and Zhang Xiaohua had certainly heard some of them. He didn't take it seriously at first. After all, if someone really found the entrance to the tomb, they would have covered it up long ago. Who would leak the news?
But looking at Zhong Xiang's expression, the layout of the surrounding tents, and the molten magma on the ground, he felt that it was very likely.

"Rumors? What rumors? There is no entrance to the tomb. I am just setting up a temporary camp here to do something. My young prince, you are such a joke." Zhong Xiang pretended to change his expression, then quickly returned to normal, and fooled the questioner by pretending to know nothing.

Zhang Xiaohua could not hide Zhong Xiang's expression from her. She saw thousands of thoughts flashing through her mind, and her face became serious. She muttered to herself, "This tomb appeared on the territory of my Beidi Pingbian Palace. It should be the property of my Pingbian Palace. I must not let outsiders take advantage of it."

But looking at Zhong Xiang's expression of unwillingness to give way, Zhang Xiaohua also felt it was difficult. After all, the Zhong family behind Zhong Xiang was not easy to mess with.

"That criminal stole something very important, which is of great relevance to my Pingbian Palace. I ask Brother Zhong to give my Pingbian Palace some face. My Pingbian Palace will definitely repay you in the future." At this time, Zhang Xiaohua simply brought out the Pingbian Palace and put it on Zhong Xiang's head.

Zhong Xiang still refused to give in after hearing this: "Normally, since the prince has asked for it himself, I should give you this favor no matter what. However, today's situation is special and I really cannot give way. Please wait for a few more days, and then I will cooperate with you to capture the thief, how about that?"

"The treasure stolen by that little thief is extremely valuable. If we wait a few more days for him to refine the treasure, it will be too late!" Zhang Xiaohua's voice was a little impatient.

Wait a few days?
Once Zhong Xiang digs out the treasure, what will happen to his Pingbian Palace?

Since the treasure appears on the territory of Pingbian Palace, it should belong to Pingbian Palace, and no one can take the treasure away.

"How about three days?" Zhong Xiang held up three fingers: "I only need three days."

"No! Not even for one day. I have to go in now." When Zhang Xiaohua heard that there were only three days, she became even more anxious. She didn't expect that Zhong Xiang had excavated the tomb to this extent.

The other party said three days, but I’m afraid it will be shorter than three days. When the other party takes the treasure, who can I go to for justice?
Zhong Xiang frowned when he heard this: "Young Prince, I'm sorry I can't agree to your request. It will take at least one day for me to make way for you."

Zhang Xiaohua was even more shocked when she heard this. The other party had said three days before, and now said two days. She was afraid that they had already reached the core of the tomb.

Looking at the movement of the Feng Shui formation of the big tomb coming into the world, the lightning connected the sky and the earth, it was earth-shaking and mighty. I'm afraid there must be a lot of good fortune hidden in the tomb.

"This is the territory of our Pingbian Palace. Everything in the Northland belongs to our Pingbian Palace. Do we need others' consent to do anything we want to do in the Northland or go anywhere?" Zhang Xiaohua was getting a little anxious, and her tone gradually became heavier. Zhong Xiang shook his head when he heard this: "Even if the Northland belongs to the Pingbian Palace, since I am here now, the Pingbian Palace has no right to investigate. I can only be rude to the young prince's request today. In the future, I will definitely bring a generous gift to the Pingbian Palace to apologize and allow the Pingbian Palace to punish me."

After hearing what Zhong Xiang said, Zhang Xiaohua was in a dilemma. Should she fight with Zhong Xiang at this time? It's not appropriate!

Zhong Xiang is not a loner like Zhang Chen, but if he allows Zhong Xiang to continue digging the tomb while he, the Prince Pingbian, just watches, it would not be appropriate.

"You really don't want to give me this face?" Zhang Xiaohua's tone turned a little cold.

Zhong Xiang smiled bitterly: "I will come to your house in person to apologize in the future, and I will tolerate your beatings and scoldings, young prince."

Zhang Xiaohua stood there without saying a word, just looking at Zhong Xiang. The atmosphere between the two sides was tense. At this moment, Mr. Wuliu's cough was heard in the distance. Zhang Xiaohua turned around and saw that Mr. Wuliu had caught up with them.

Zhang Xiaohua glanced at Zhong Xiang and said nothing more. Instead, she flicked her sleeves and came to Mr. Wuliu. "The rumor down the mountain is true. Zhong Xiang actually dug through the ancient tomb of gods and demons. Zhang Chen was so desperate that he broke into the tomb, but Zhong Xiang stopped us and refused to let us in."

Zhang Xiaohua outlined the main points of the matter in just a few words.

Mr. Wuliu looked at the lightning in the distance, his eyes showing a trace of caution. "I have only seen such a great tomb emerge when the Dasheng Royal Family obtained the twelfth-level mystery in the past. The inheritance in this tomb must be no worse than that of the Dasheng Royal Family. That Zhang Chen has mastered a method specifically targeting warriors, and we must not let it go! If this method is in the hands of the Pingbian Palace, our chances of winning in the future will increase by at least 50%."

Zhang Xiaohua's pupils shrank when she heard this: "In that case, we must go into this tomb."

"We have to go in! Not only must we go in, but we must also leave all the treasures behind. By then, the gap between us and the Dasheng Imperial Family will be completely narrowed." Mr. Wuliu said with excitement in his voice, "There is hope for a great cause!"

"But now Zhong Xiang is blocking the way and doesn't give us any chance to get in. If we just confront each other... it won't be good!" Zhang Xiaohua was also afraid.

Hearing Zhang Xiaohua's words, Mr. Wuliu had a strange smile on his face: "Aren't there many Confucianists over there? Many of them are Zhong Xiang's elders. If they come forward to threaten him, Zhong Xiang will definitely give in. What's more, Zhong Wubai was seriously injured by Zhang Chen. We are now seeking revenge for Zhong Wubai. We are a just army with a legitimate reason. If Zhong Xiang dares to stop us with this accusation, his reputation will be ruined and his future will be ruined."

"Sir, you are so smart. Why didn't I think of this?" Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed when she heard this.

Mr. Wuliu glanced at the tomb, his eyes showing a hint of murderous intent: "You might as well pass the news to those people in the Confucian School. I believe that they will definitely help you solve the obstacle of Zhong Xiang."

At this point, Mr. Wuliu looked at Zhong Xiang and said, "Please protect my body. I will leave my body and inform the prince to send 50,000 troops to seal the mountain. I will also ask the eight masters in the palace to come and support us."

"You can go as you please. I just hope you can go quickly and come back soon to take charge of the situation." Zhong Xiang said.

The next moment, Mr. Wuliu's spirit left his body and flew away, leaving only his physical body standing there.

"Protect the master's body." Zhang Xiaohua instructed the warrior beside her, then looked at the Confucian masters gathering in the distance, and took the initiative to walk towards the Confucian people.

This discussion caused a sensation throughout the world, and countless Confucian masters gathered here just to witness this grand event with their own eyes.

Looking around, there were probably more than 300 Confucian celebrities and scholars, all of whom had come to avenge Mr. Wu.

Zhang Chen destroyed Mr. Wu's Taoist aspirations, which was equivalent to destroying a master of Confucianism. How could the celebrities of Confucianism let it go?
"Gentlemen, Xiao Wang is here to greet you." Zhang Xiaohua called out from a distance, attracting all the Confucian celebrities.

"Did the young prince catch that bastard Zhang Chen?"

The one who spoke was an old scholar in his seventies with white hair and beard.

This person is called: Liu Lin. He is the most outstanding person among all the Confucian disciples in the north. Even if Mr. Wu meets him, he will be overshadowed by his qualifications.

Although this person's knowledge is not as good as Mr. Wu's, he is senior enough.

Confucianism emphasizes benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, and is about ranking based on seniority, not that whoever has higher knowledge or better accomplishment is the boss.

Hearing Liu Lin's words, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly sighed with a bitter look in her eyes: "Xiao Wang failed to live up to the expectations of the gentleman, it was really because of the resistance. Seeing that the thief was so close, he could have been taken down with a little effort, but who knew that he was blocked by someone, and he could only sigh helplessly."

As expected, after hearing Zhang Xiaohua's words, Liu Lin flew into a rage: "How dare you! Who dares to stand up for that peasant Zhang Chen? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Zhang Xiaohua opened and closed her lips when she heard that, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated to speak.

"Your Highness, who on earth stood up for that bastard Zhang Chen, and made you helpless and defeated? There are only a few people in this world who dare to offend both the Pingbian Palace and the Confucian School at the same time! But no matter who is here today, I will confront him and see if he has the guts to go against the grain and do something that goes against human ethics." Liu Lin's voice was full of anger: "Your Highness, tell me who stopped you?"

Zhang Xiaohua sighed helplessly upon hearing this, her face full of bitterness: "I didn't want to say it originally, but since you insisted on asking, I had no choice but to tell you. The person who stopped me from taking action should be known to everyone in the field. He is the grandson of Mr. Wu, Zhong Xiang, known as the Southern Unicorn. He is now blocking my way and is determined to protect the thief. What can I, an outsider, do? How can I stand up for Mr. Wu?"

Zhang Xiaohua's voice was full of helplessness, and her words stunned everyone in the room.

Although Zhong Xiang is not Mr. Wu’s grandson, he is not much different from a grandson, right?
Now he actually came out to stop everyone and stopped them from standing up for Mr. Wu. Doesn't it seem that this group of outsiders will have a hard time standing if they want to intervene again?
