Chapter 569 The Uproar

Ah Hu couldn’t understand the situation.
He just swung his sword down very hard, intending to strike seven times in a row.
But after the first strike, something unexpected happened.
“Does the Demon Dancing Sword have its own consciousness? No wonder it was regarded as a holy-level weapon. How amazing it is!”
Ah Hu shook his head and felt a little dizzy. He thought that the holy weapon was very powerful.
The vast majority of those present thought so.
“Is this the power of the holy-level weapon?”
“It’s too powerful. Just this breath makes me feel as cold as if I had fallen into an ice cave. I don’t know if Second Childe Ning can resist this move.”
“It’s a little difficult. Maybe Second Childe Ning will suffer a minor injury.”
Many people were discussing.
Ning Xiaotian was the most nervous among them; he kept staring at the battlefield covered with black fog.
“Gulp…”
After swallowing, he murmured, “My brother will be safe!”
The three friends beside him were also stunned. They had seen the battles among martial artists, but it was the first time for them to see such a high-level battle.
As for Zhao Feng and Wang Ming, they were both surprised.
Still, they were not worried. Even if that happened, it had nothing to do with them. They just wanted to know whether Ning Zhanqi would have an accident or not, and whether he could block that move.
But Wang Ming was confused by the power of Ah Hu’s move.
“How could that holy-level weapon attack someone on its own? It’s so strange.”
While those on Ah Hu’s side were not worried, someone on the other side was so nervous that he even held his breath.
It was Luo Fang, the most powerful Grand Master on their side.
He looked a little frightened, as if he had seen something terrible.
In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that elder martial brother Luo was deeply worried about his younger martial brother Ning.
But in fact…
The moment Ah Hu withdrew his long sword, Luo Fang heard something unusual.
It was a faint “click” sound like a metal fracture.
“Was it made by my Nine Rings Sabre?”
Luo Fang held his breath in fear, worrying about his weapon.
At the same time, he was very upset. “Why did I lend my favorite sabre to others?”
The others?
Yes, for Luo Fang, Ning Zhanqi was one of “the others,” which also included all his martial brothers.
Luo Fang was calm and reliable, but he was a selfish man.
At the moment he only cared about his Soul-suppressing Nine Rings Sabre.
Just as he was nervously watching the battle…
The black fog began to disperse from the edge, one meter, two meters… Five meters. They soon disappeared from everyone’s view.
At that moment…
Luo Fang’s eyes were constantly widened and filled with red blood rapidly.
Luo Fang saw Ning Zhanqi lying on the ground without any vital signs. There were three pieces of blades on the left side of his body. On his right side, he still held the handle of the saber in his right hand, and there were two pieces of blades next to his hand.
The Soul-suppressing Nine Rings Sabre was broken by Ah Hu’s attack.
Luo Fang could hardly control his anger.
At that moment, the other onlookers couldn’t help but gasp in fear.
“Was Ning Zhanqi… Killed?”
“Second Childe Ning was killed! Oh, my gosh. There will be an earthquake in Lin Hai!”
“It’s terrible. The Ning family won’t swallow the insult and humiliation silently. What’s more, the Gu family is the Ning family supporter, so they will blow things out of proportion if Gu Donglai says something about it.”
“How could Second Childe Ning, the arrogant talent, be killed by that guy?”
Many people couldn’t believe their eyes.
Especially Ning Xiaotian.
He widely opened his eyes and mouth as if his throat was caught. He couldn’t say anything while he stared at the battlefield in fear.
Suddenly, he moved.
He wasn’t rushing forward to check Ning Zhanqi’s condition, but stepping back.
He was afraid that the other side would kill him due to dissatisfaction. He didn’t want to die!
One second, two seconds… Three seconds later, the battle field fell into a dead silence.
There were no sounds in the viewing platform.
.
“Damn it!” Ah Hu’s cry broke the silence. He took a few steps forward and looked at Ning Zhanqi carefully.
“How could he be so weak?”
“He’s seriously injured but still alive,” Wang Ming approached them and said calmly.
Martial artists were often killed in competitions or battles, and only a few of them liked to have peaceful martial arts exchanges.
Seeing Wang Ming moving forward, Luo Fang also walked towards Ning Zhanqi; several of his martial brothers followed him nervously.
“Ah Hu won the battle,” Luo Fang announced.
He looked at the nine rings saber sadly and then ordered his followers, “Take him back.”
“Yes!”
The three younger martial brothers hurriedly responded, lifting up Ning Zhanqi who was barely breathing, then walking quickly to the foot of the mountain.
None of them paid attention to the broken Nine Rings Sabre. In their eyes, it had little value if it had been broken like that.
Luo Fang was so angry after seeing his broken weapon.
He wasn’t only annoyed by Ah Hu, but also angry with Ning Zhanqi.
With a wave of his right hand, he took the Nine Rings Sabre back into his Space Ring, and then looked at Ah Hu coldly. “You are so merciless.”
Normal martial artists might be frightened by Luo Fang’s attitude.
But Ah Hu had long been with Zhang Han and saw so many powerful martial arts masters; he wasn’t afraid of Luo Fang at all.
“He was too weak,” Ah Hu frowned and replied.
Just as Luo Fang was affected by Ah Hu’s provocations and was about to teach him a lesson, Wang Ming raised his eyebrows and said, “You said that no one would be blamed for killing his opponent in battle, don’t you remember? I can repeat it to remind you about your promise.”
Wang Ming was apparently warning Luo Fang.
At that moment, the other people who were watching the battle retreated for several meters and stared at the field.
They would be affected if they were close to the battlefield if there was a fight between the two Martial Arts Grand Masters.
Luo Fang’s eyes twitched and then swept to Zhao Feng, Leng Yue and the others, as if to remember their appearances. Finally he settled on Wang Ming.
“Yes, I said it. But Lin Hai is dominated by the Gu Family, and Gu Donglai is Ning Zhanqi’s master. You are shaming Grand Master Gu by doing this.”
His words resonated with many people present.
It was true that the Gu Family was the top family in Lin Hai, and Ning Zhanqi was Gu Donglai’s disciple. That was to say, Ah Hu had tried to kill Ning Zhanqi in his hometown.
“Are you kidding me?” Wang Ming sneered. “It’s the first time I hear about such a theory. Maybe you can keep your theory until the gate of the worldlet is opened, if you haven’t been regarded as a fool then.”
“Hahaha.” Luo Fang burst out laughing and then nodded. “Good, I’ll tell my master about this. I hope you remain alive to leave Lin Hai.”
Luo Fang glared at Wang Ming and Ah Hu, and then he left with his men.
Wang Ming was about to say something, but he finally gave up.
He was afraid of Gu Donglai, and he didn’t know if Zhang Han could defeat Gu Donglai in the next possible battle.
After all, Gu Donglai was well-known for his crazy saber style, having become famous earlier than Gai Xingkong. Wang Ming had heard lots of his achievements in the worldlet.
Ning Xiaotian hurried to follow Luo Fang and leave the battlefield.
They took the lead to go down the mountain.
After seeing them leave, Ah Hu approached Wang Ming and whispered, “Have I made trouble again? I don’t know what happened to the Demon Dancing Sword then. I just wanted to wave it downwards in a normal way.”
“It doesn’t matter even if you killed him. We are from Mengmeng Security and represent out master in social activities. No one is allowed to challenge us,” Zhao Feng said seriously.
“Xiaofeng makes sense.” Wang Ming nodded. “We are serving under the same force, we can’t always tolerate provocations from others, nor give them chances again and again. They would deserve punishment, as long as we remain rational while judging their deeds. As for the matter today, it was their fault and Ah Hu was tolerant enough, not killing Ning Zhanqi after injuring him.”
“Ah? Was I tolerant?” Ah Hu scratched his head. “I’m also confused about that attack.”
“Although Ning Zhanqi was badly injured, they can still save him with some valuable medicine. But Ning Zhanqi’s martial arts foundation will be destroyed; it will take him a long time to rebuilt it. Let’s stop talking about it and go back to report it to Han. He will know how to deal with this matter.”
Wang Ming took the lead to go down the mountain, and he saw Luo Fang leaving at high speed on the way.
“Alas.” Zhao Feng sighed with emotion. “My master is not interested in such matters. He will probably just say ‘I see’ when I report it to him this evening.”
“Maybe.” Wang Ming smiled and shook his head. “Although he seems to have no interest in it, he will come up with a solution.”
“…”
As they spoke, they went down the mountain.
Tens of martial artists were left behind by them, looking at each other in confusion.
They were silent at first, and then went into an uproar like a volcano.
“Wow, Second Childe Ning was seriously injured?”
“The conflict between Merciless Zhang and the Gu Family, the No.1 family in Lin Hai. It is amazing!”
“That guy nearly killed Second Childe Ning with one move. No wonder he is Merciless Zhang’s man.”
“Zhang Hanyang liked his staff so much that he gave a bodyguard two holy-level weapons! It’s unbelievable!”
There was a lot of discussion. The originally silent viewing platform became a noisy vegetable market.
The Martial Arts Grand Master standing on the far left, that middle-aged man with flattop haircut, was also surprised.
“Ah Hu had two holy-level weapons then. Even I would have been unable to resist if I had been Ah Hu’s opponent.”
“Ah Hu, Zhang Hanyang’s man, badly injured Ning Zhanqi with the Demon Dancing Sword. The news will soon spread in Lin Hai.”
The middle-aged man shook his head and left the mountain.
Echoing what he said, many people took out their mobile phones to call their friends when they went down the mountain.
“What a pity that you didn’t see the battle today. It was amazing! Even Grand Master Luo’s Nine Rings Sabre was broken…”
“Ah Liu, I saw a wonderful battle today! Second Young Master of the Ning Family was almost killed, and I’m afraid he will never recover.”
“…”
The news spread out quickly.
The martial arts world in Lin Hai was not large, and all the big families and their martial artists soon received the news.
Mount Donglai.
It was located in the eastern side of the North District of Lin Hai. It had a pleasant scenery close to the bay.
That was the location of the Gu Family manor. The ancient family’s luxurious residential area was at the foot of the mountain, where there were many kinds of single family villas.
However, there was no way to reach Mount Donglai in the villa area, only dense forests and steep roads.
Mount Donglai was the place where the elder of the Gu Family lived. The place near the bay cliff at the top of the mountain was a blessed region and the density of spiritual Qi there was several times higher than in the urban area, which could be used for daily cultivation.
Therefore, Gu Donglai had built a quadrangle there, naming the place Mount Donglai as if it were his private estate.
The road to the top of the mountain was on the south side, and cars could be driven halfway to the mountain top. There were some martial arts houses which were also for their cultivation.
The visitors would need to walk up on the rest of the way.
At the moment, Luo Fang and several younger martial brothers are walking up the mountain quickly.
Luo Fang was in a bad mood, while his junior brothers were carrying Ning Zhanqi behind him.
It took five minutes to reach the top of the mountain from the hillside. In front of the iron door of the courtyard, Luo Fang adjusted his expression and hit the door with the iron ring of the door handle; just like a doorbell, making a clanging sound.
He only knocked three times and then waited in silence.
One minute, two minutes… five minutes passed.
A calm voice was heard from within. “Come in.”
“Yes!” Luo Fang replied, opening the door and entering with his martial brothers.
An old man was sitting in the middle of the courtyard while drinking tea. A good part of his hair was white.
His facial expression didn’t change when he saw the dying Ning Zhanqi.
“Master, Junior Brother Ning fought against one of Zhang Hanyang’s men…”
Luo Fang said everything in detail, including what had happened after Ah Hu took out Demon Dancing Sword, including Wang Ming’s attitude and their words. Of course, he exaggerated on purpose.
Gu Donglai’s face changed a little.
“That’s what happened. Junior Brother Ning is dying and only you, our master can save him. Therefore, I brought him back as soon as possible,” said Luo Fang with a depressed expression.
Gu Donglai took a glance at Luo Fang and replied calmly, “Send him back to the Ning Family.”
“Hiss!”
Luo Fang’s pupils shrank. He instantly started to sweat due to fear.
In a low tone, he even made the request with a short instruction, which meant that Gu Donglai was mad.
Luo Fang had been following Gu Donglai; knew he was actually a fierce man.
To be in his master’s company was tantamount to living with a tiger. Three of Luo Fang’s martial brothers had once broken into Gu Donglai house when he was in a bad mood and they were directly killed. Although Gu Donglai didn’t always fight, he was also the kind of person who considered human lives as grass.
“Send him back to the Ning family, hurry up.” Luo Fang turned around and ordered the other three martial brothers.
“Yes.” They hurried out carrying Ning Zhanqi.
After they left, Luo Fang waited for more than ten seconds before he took out the Nine Rings Sabre, which was broken into several pieces.
He asked sadly, “Master, can it be repaired?”
“No.”
“Okay.” Luo Fang nodded and took back his broken weapon. “Master, what do you think of this matter? Shall I release any news?”
Luo Fang raised that last question as he was about to leave.
“It’s not the right time for us to do something, so just ignore it,” Gu Donglai murmured, “I will kill him after I thoroughly master this method.”
“Whoosh!”
Gu Donglai went back to the room in front of him. Inside, there was a picture five meters long and three meters high on the wall.
The painting was very old and shabby, with many lines on it, shining with a metallic luster. It looked very mysterious and profound.
Luo Fang in the courtyard walked out slowly and closed the door before quickly making his way down the mountain.
By six o’clock in the afternoon, what had happened at two o’clock had spread all over the city.
“Have you heard? The Second Young Master of the Ning Family was killed in a battle.”
“Yes, and the whole Ning Family is shocked. Ning Haotian is angry, but he hasn’t taken action yet, because that guy who killed Ning Zhanqi was Zhang Hanyang’s man.”
“That’s just hearsay.”
In the discussion, a person familiar with the matter said, “Ning Zhanqi lost the battle but he could still breathe, although he was seriously injured and dying. Luo Fang sent him back to Mount Donglai, but he was sent down again in a few minutes; he was still alive then. Later he was sent to the Ning Family’s house in the Western side. It is said that he died at the Ning Family’s gate.”
“It’s so amazing. I’m afraid the whole Lin Hai is shocked by the news. Will Gu Donglai take action?”
“The Gu Family hasn’t made any official statement yet, and we don’t know how the matter will be dealt with. It seems that both the Gu and the Ning families are afraid of the Merciless Zhang Hanyang, who hasn’t appeared in front of us yet.”
The martial arts world of Lin Hai was also shocked.
What was Zhang Han doing at the moment? He had just left a western-style restaurant and was currently driving back to the Peninsula Hotel.
“Mengmeng had a good appetite today. Are you tired?” Zhou Fei sat in the copilot’s seat and looked back at Mengmeng.
“Yes, I’m tired.” Mengmeng leaned beside Zhang Han and mumbled an answer.
“When we get back to the hotel, we’ll watch TV and go to bed,” said Zhang Han as he touched Mengmeng’s hand.
“Okay.”
“Sister Yan, the TV station sent someone to discuss the specific process with us and determine one of the three songs,” Zhou Fei said at that time, “He has arrived at the Peninsula Hotel and is now having a tea break on the first floor. Would you like to join me later?”
“Deputy operator Ma?” Zi Yan asked.
“Yes, he is waiting for us.” Zhou Fei nodded.
“Let’s go to meet him together. Now that he came here, it would be impolite of me if I don’t welcome him.” Zi Yan chuckled.
Although Zi Yan was currently popular, she was always modest, never acting as an arrogant super star. That advantage was magnified after she started living with Zhang Han.
After all, her husband was an immortal, who was even more indifferent to fame and wealth.
