Xuanxia

Chapter 818: Leader of Xuan League
"Boss, in front!"

Outside Luoyi City, several Luoyi Prefecture constables who had just left the team alone suddenly pointed forward and shouted.

Beside the official road, there was a long row of ox carts and donkey carts parked. There were also bloodstains on those carts, but most of them were empty, with only a few still having people lying on them.

The captain of the police shouted in a low voice, and led his men to draw their knives and approach quickly.

But soon, they discovered that… everyone who stayed here was dead.

But with so many carts and such deep wheel marks, it was impossible that they were only carrying these few bodies.

"Boss, there are footprints."

A constable whispered.

The captain looked in the direction of his subordinate's finger.

Yes... There were a lot of bloody footprints around these carts, spreading into the woods beside the official road.

"Don't chase me yet!"

The captain shouted, holding a knife, and stood cautiously outside the woods. The tip of the knife trembled slightly as he looked inside.

By this time, it was getting dark, and the woods were pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

But he clearly felt that someone was watching him.

And it’s not just one person…it’s many people!
"Boss?" the subordinate called softly.

The captain's face tensed, he let out a light breath, raised the knife... and then with a swish, he put the knife back into the sheath.

"Pull back these cars and the bodies in them."

He said in a deep voice: "The others in the car have already left - this is the report."

The other detectives also breathed a sigh of relief and responded in agreement.

Soon, they skillfully connected the carts one by one with ropes, drove the ox cart in front, led a long team, and dragged them towards Luoyi City.

The sound of the rolling wheels gradually faded away and eventually died down. Only then did a rustling sound come from the woods, revealing figures one by one.

The leader was Master Baihe.

In addition, Zhenren Jingming, Wu Yue, Elder Yu and others were also present.

Of course, among the younger generation, Ning Wushu, Yuan Zhen, Hua Xiaolan, Murong Xuan and others are also among them.

Behind them were a large number of people from the martial arts world - most of them had been injured to varying degrees, stumbling and supporting each other, but everyone's eyes were gloomy and filled with suppressed anger.

Of course, there are also some secret envoys from the Mingjian Pavilion here. They follow Ning Wushu closely in silence.

"They may be the men of Prefect Wen."

Ning Wushu was the first to speak. She whispered, "He is from Qingzhou."

"It was true before, but it may not be true now." Master Baihe took over the conversation and said, "There is no doubt that this time, King Xishuo, the Lan family, and the Yuan family have won."

Ning Wushu's face turned even paler and he lowered his head.

"Fu Qingzhou and Wuying...are both missing." Hua Xiaolan bit her lip, her eyes dancing with murderous intent: "Where are they?"

"Maybe he's dead." It was Wu Yan who responded.

Hua Xiaolan turned her head and looked at him with cold and murderous eyes, but he didn't care at all. He just said again in the same cold voice: "... Zhu Mei is still in the Xuanmeng... I don't know how she is."

Almost no one here knows who Zhu Mei is, and no one cares except him.

But Master Jingming still spoke slowly: "The white mist behind King Xishuo that can condense into a human form is too terrifying. If we go back now, I'm afraid we still won't be his match."

As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.

They also woke up not long ago.

When he just woke up, he was naturally confused and then angry, shouting that he wanted to fight back.

But soon, they remembered...why they fell.

Then, they heard footsteps coming from the direction of Luoyi, so a large group of people hid in the woods tacitly, and waited until the constables left, then they slowly emerged from the woods.

"Then, what should we do?" someone in the crowd asked after a while.

There was another moment of silence.

Soon, Ning Wushu let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "What King Xishuo of Luoyi did this time is tantamount to rebellion! I must hurry back to the capital!"

"Well, I'm with you."

A deep voice came from the back of the crowd.

Ning Wushu turned around and looked with a slightly happy expression: "Brother Hong!"

The person who came was Hong Zhi.

He walked slowly with the help of several imperial guards, spitting out a mouthful of blood and spitting, cursing: "Damn it, the wound hasn't healed yet, and he got hit by Ning Wuwang's palm... Sister Wushu, can you confirm whether your brother is really a rebel or an undercover agent?"

"……I have no idea."

Ning Wushu sighed and shook his head: "But his actions will undoubtedly split Mingjian Pavilion."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Mingjian Pavilion envoys around them turned very ugly and they all lowered their heads.

However, Ning Wushu only sighed. Soon, she raised her head again and regained her tenacious temperament: "But it doesn't matter. My father is still in the capital, and Li Jingzhe is also in the capital. Even if King Xishuo wants to do something, it is impossible to take over the capital in a blink of an eye! We must return to the capital as quickly as possible and report this place!"

After that, she stood up straighter, turned her eyes around, and said loudly: "Everyone, Dayan is about to change... You are all kind-hearted people, we must not let such a thing of suffering happen. Those who are willing to go to the capital with me, please come together!"

After she finished speaking, Ning Wushu did not wait any longer. She waved her hand, led a group of Mingjian Pavilion secret envoys, and headed directly towards the capital.

Hong Zhi followed closely behind, taking away the imperial guards he brought with him.

The two walked side by side at the front. Hong Zhi broke away from the men who were supporting him and came to Ning Wushu alone. He lowered his voice and said through gritted teeth: "I am here because of the emperor's order."

Ning Wu Shu was shocked.

"Given the emperor's personality, he might come as well." Hong Zhi continued with an embarrassed look on his face.

Ning Wushu bit his lip and quickly calmed down: "Send a few people to investigate. If the emperor really falls into the hands of the rebels, they will definitely publicize it... Before that, we should just pretend that nothing happened."

"Yes, I think so too." Hong Zhi nodded slightly: "I hope the emperor can find a way and return to Beijing as soon as possible."

The two men talked as they walked away, and some gangsters followed them. Soon, the crowd in the forest was reduced by half.

Including Yuan Zhen, he also clasped his hands together and apologized to his friends, saying that he needed to go back to Jinchan Temple to take a look, and then followed Ning Wushu's team.

The rest of the people were still looking at each other.

"I can't swallow this breath."

Baihe Zhenren's eyes were dancing with anger, and he said in a deep voice: "After being so angry, I can't hide back at Zixiao Peak and become a coward! I can't do that!"

"What are you going to do?" It was Elder Yu who asked the question.

Baihe Zhenren sneered: "The Jianghu is so big, they can't reach so far! If you want to rebel, ask me first!"

Elder Yu turned his head and looked at Hua Xiaolan, who nodded slightly. Not only that, Kua Ye, who had no presence at the ceremony due to injury, also showed up at this time, stood behind Hua Xiaolan, and smiled gently at Elder Yu.

"it is good."

Elder Yu said softly: "Wandu Mountain is willing to join hands with Ziqi Xianfeng Temple to fight against the bandits and enemies!"

"The Shenji Sect is also willing to go with us." Kong Ling slowly walked out from the crowd.

"Changqing Escort Agency..." Xiong Shao stood up and said, "Let's go together!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Shen Chuke, who was sitting next to a tree, laughed and said, "There are many things that Xingyun Chamber of Commerce can do!"

More and more people stood up and responded loudly. As Master Baihe listened, his brows gradually raised and his eyes were filled with high spirits.

"If I were to say, the most important thing about this Xuanmeng Ceremony has not yet been decided!"

Wu Yue said loudly: "You, Bai He, have broken through Xuan Xing again. Let's just hand over the position of leader of Xuan League to you! You lead us all to beat all those bastards to death!"

The Jianghu people were stunned for a moment, but soon came to their senses. Someone immediately shouted loudly: "That's right! Master Baihe should be the leader of the Xuan League!"

"Alliance leader!"

"Master Baihe is the leader of Xuanmeng!"

For a moment, a large number of responses rang out in the woods.

Shirakawa smiled slightly.

"it is good."

She glanced at everyone and said slowly, "In the past, I would have at least declined a few words to show my humility - but now it's different."

"The current leader of Xuan League has no benefits, but has a lot of things to do!"

Master Baihe narrowed his eyes slightly and said arrogantly: "But I have to be frank. No one can be the leader except me at the moment!"

The crowd of people in Jianghu, who had just experienced an extremely bad battle, burst into hearty laughter.

"General Ning, General Hong and others have gone to the capital."

Baihe Zhenren continued, "But we are not the same. We are not soldiers, nor are we good at charging into battle. Everyone, I want you to go back to your homes and count your own manpower resources! Then... break up into small groups! Abandon your mountain gates, your manors, and become wandering knights!"

"Next, what we have to do is to use this vast land as a base and sneak into the dark!"

"From today on, the Xuanmeng will obey my orders. We will target King Xishuo and the noble families and tear their underwear to shreds bit by bit!"

The crowd responded loudly and enthusiastically.

No one noticed that two figures quietly left the crowd and wandered towards Luoyi.

That’s Wu Yan and... Murong Xuan.

Wu Yan had not walked far when he noticed Murong Xuan not far behind him.

He turned around and asked suspiciously, "Are you following me?"

"I'm going to Luoyi too, but not with you." Murong Xuan said softly.

Wu Yan said calmly: "I'll go save Zhu Mei."

"I'm going to save my brother." Murong Xuan was also very calm.

The two looked at each other and nodded solemnly at the same time: "Together."
