The next day.

Duan Zhaonan received two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The good news is that the Fifth Ancestor Sect agreed to cooperate with the Yanhuang Martial Alliance and uncovered the mastermind behind the incident. The bad news is that the Tianluo Sect rejected his proposal and decided to remain neutral.

"A bunch of short-sighted people!"

In the spacious and bright office, Duan Zhaonan slapped the table hard.

The two subordinates opposite him were as silent as cicadas, watching their noses and hearts, sitting at attention.

Duan Zhaonan was really angry.

The dream of becoming a hidden sect is just around the corner, but when it comes to the end, Tianluo Sect actually chooses to retreat?

Then how can he explain to the alliance leader?

Will the leader of the alliance have a grudge against him because of this and think that he is difficult to take on a big role?

Thinking of this, Duan Zhaonan's anger grew stronger and he couldn't help but scolded: "You short-sighted fool! Do you think you can stay out of the matter by remaining neutral?"

"Master, please calm down."

A subordinate cautiously advised: "At least the Fifth Ancestor Sect agreed. Your hard work has not been in vain."

"You don't understand."

Duan Zhaonan waved his hands slightly irritably: "With or without me, the Fifth Ancestor Sect will always stand on the side of the alliance leader, but it is the Tianluo Sect. I originally had high hopes for them, but..."

In the second half of the sentence, Duan Zhaonan did not continue.

"Otherwise, why don't you call Head Wang personally and ask?"

"Hmph, forget it, they have made it clear that they do not dare to offend Zhenwu Sect and Wuji Sect, and they are not fellow travelers with our Yanhuang Martial Alliance, so what else do you have to ask."

"Then shall we continue to act as planned?"

"certainly!"

Duan Zhaonan's eyes flashed with cold light: "Pass me an order to immediately arrest all those who spread rumors and cause trouble based on the information provided by the Fifth Ancestor Sect. No one is allowed to be let go!"

"As you command!"

The two capable subordinates stood up at the same time, clasped their fists and saluted, turned around and prepared to leave.

Just as the two were about to walk out of the office, Duan Zhaonan suddenly stopped them: "Wait a minute."

"What other instructions do you have?"

"Bring more people."

Duan Zhaonan reminded: "Prevent those guys from jumping over the wall and resisting violently."

"yes."

The two subordinates nodded.

Duan Zhaonan narrowed his eyes again and said in a deep voice: "In addition, since the Fifth Ancestor Sect has agreed to cooperate, before taking action, let them know first and ask them to send some strong people to assist us."

The two subordinates looked at each other and said in unison: "Understood!"

****

Yunchuan City, Central District.

Tianfu Tea House.

Since there are many martial arts schools nearby, this place has become a gathering place for martial artists in their spare time.

The rumors against Lin Zhong first spread from here.

On the second floor of the teahouse, there are more than a dozen Eight Immortals tables.

Every Eight Immortals table was already filled with warriors, and there were even many people standing.

They gathered in a circle in twos and threes, drinking tea and eating melon seeds while discussing recent hot events. The scene was very lively.

"Have you heard? The Ruyi Sect is going to choose a new leader."

"I've heard about it a long time ago, and my master also received an invitation from the Ruyi Sect. They invited my master to attend the succession ceremony of the new head, and I will accompany them when the time comes."

"Wow, Brother Zhen, after three days of separation, I'm going to look at you with admiration. You are about to take off!"

"No, I'm just lucky."

"It is said that the disciples of the Ruyi Sect are all as beautiful as gods, and they are pure and flawless. If Brother Zhen can catch one of them, tsk tsk, that would be a great pleasure."

"Isn't that right? Hehehehehe..."

When it comes to women, these warriors let out obscene laughter that all men understand.

"I'm actually very curious, did Ruyi Sect invite Wu Meng?"

"Even if they invite them, does the Wu Meng have the nerve to participate?"

"The majestic leader of the martial alliance relied on his own strength to bully a group of weak women and wreak havoc on other people's territory. He is a disgrace to us warriors!"

"But I heard from people that there seems to be something hidden behind it..."

"Fart! What's the secret? It's that boy Lin Zhong who took advantage of the situation and made a move on Senior Sister Xi Muwei. After being rejected, he became angry and turned his anger on the Ruyi Sect!"

"Yes, yes, Senior Sister Xi is so beautiful. She is the most beautiful woman in the martial arts community in Yunchuan City. She was seriously injured by Lin Zhong just because she did not want to succumb to Lin Zhong's power!"

"When I become stronger in the future, I will definitely help Senior Sister Xi vent her anger!"

The atmosphere suddenly became more heated.

Everyone was talking and spitting, scolding Lin Zhong and Wu Meng until they were bloody.

At this moment, the sound of dense footsteps suddenly came from downstairs.

However, everyone in the excitement did not notice it.

A few seconds later, seven or eight figures appeared at the entrance to the second floor of the tea house.

Half of them were wearing black martial arts uniforms, and the other half were wearing dark red training uniforms, with the three characters "Fifth Ancestor Sect" embroidered on the left chest.

The leader has short hair as short as a needle, thick eyebrows and a wide mouth. He is strong and tall, nearly two meters tall, and has extremely strong muscles. The loose martial arts uniform on his body actually looks a bit short and tight.

His eyes were like lightning, he looked around and let out a cold snort from his nostrils.

"quiet!"

The loud voice was like thunder, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

"Who's screaming?"

"Are you tired of living?"

The warriors who were in a state of righteous indignation followed the sound and left.

When they saw the identity of these uninvited guests, their breath suddenly suffocated.

"Who is He Wei?"

The leader asked coldly.

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and their eyes gradually focused on a young man.

This young man was wearing a dark gray training uniform. He had an ordinary appearance, ordinary facial features, and a few pimples on his cheeks. He was overall unattractive and could not be found in a crowd.

Facing the attention of everyone, the young man's face turned pale, his forehead was sweating, and his nervousness was palpable.

The leader strode up to the young man and looked down at him condescendingly: "How powerful are you?"

"I...I'm not, you...you got the wrong person."

The young man's eyes dodge, not daring to look directly into the other person's eyes.

The leader frowned, and just as he was about to continue questioning, a disciple of the Fifth Ancestor Sect suddenly stepped forward quickly and whispered in his ear: "Team Leader Lu, it's him."

The leader's expression suddenly condensed, showing a mixture of disgust and anger.

"Whether or not you admitted the wrong person is up to you."

He said coldly: "Come with us."

When the young man knew what had happened, he felt a panic in his heart. He suddenly raised his hands, overturned the Eight Immortals table and threw it at the leader. At the same time, he rushed towards the window with his body.

As long as he can escape from the teahouse, he will be protected by the big shots behind the scenes.

When the time comes, not even the Martial Alliance can do anything to him.

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

The young man had barely taken two steps away when the leader grabbed his neck with one hand and threw him straight down to the ground like he was carrying a rag doll!

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound.

The young man's face came into close contact with the ground. Suddenly, the bridge of his nose was broken and his teeth flew out. He almost choked out of pain and couldn't help but scream.

"waste!"
