Spirit Emperor - C81
In the two days that they were in Embroidery City, Lu Tuan’s group of four stayed in the hotel to have a good rest. Lee Xun brought Qin Qing and out for a stroll and bought some clothes. During this period of time, he had also heard a piece of news, which was that the brocade that the Jin Clan was shipping had been plundered consecutively, and the Dongting Sword Sect had also sent reinforcements.
Two days later, Lee Xun and the others arrived at a slender ravine and discovered that something was amiss.
“Big brother, what a strong smell of blood.” Zixing said as she wrinkled her nose. Spiritual Beast were different from Demonic Beast. Spiritual Beast ate Spiritual Treasure, so even if they did not eat anything, they could still rely on the absorption of nature’s spirit energy for survival. Of course, he would never let go of a human’s delicacy, but he was extremely disgusted by the smell of blood.
Lee Xun also sensed that there were a lot of people fighting at the end of the canyon, it was just that the canyon was very long and it was not straight, so he could not see them. This was not the first time they encountered this. There were many countries in the Sword Soul Continent, and even more powers. In this world where strength reigned supreme, robbing was not a new matter.
“Let’s go slowly. Don’t get too close. There are at least a hundred people fighting.”
Hearing Lee Xun’s instructions, everyone stopped spurring their horses to gallop forward. It was not because Lee Xun and the others were cold-blooded, but because they were unfamiliar with this place.
As they got closer, they noticed that there were quite a few people fighting. There were at least a hundred people lying on the ground. At the same time, there were also three groups of people standing beside Lee Xun. Two of them were small caravans, while the other group consisted of five young people, all of them with the strength of the fifth stage.
Lee Xun recognized that the group of people he met in the group battle was at the Bao Yu Restaurant. Furthermore, towards the two people from the small caravan, they actually did not choose to dodge when faced with a robbery and continued to stay. Walking up to an old man in the caravan, he cupped his hands and asked, “Old sir, I wonder who is fighting in front, why didn’t you guys dodge?”
“Hehe, young man, you finally asked the right person. The two groups of people in front had huge backgrounds. One group had Dongting Sword Sect, while the other had Eastern Ocean Dou Family. A month ago, Dou Family of the East Sea had clearly stated that they wanted to fight with Dongting Sword Sect over the control of brocade business in Jinjin City. This kind of fight had already happened quite a few times, and it was likely that there were still two other families fighting on the other roads. Naturally, they also don’t think much of us small fry. ” The old man was clearly gloating.
The Dou Family and the super Sword Sect were actually at loggerheads, it was obvious that they had someone backing them, and their hands seemed to be extended far too far, the Protective Gear business in Jin Family, the Sword Sect in the south, and the struggles between nations, there were all shadows of the Dou Family. What exactly did they want to do, could they not be afraid of being attacked so openly like this? Lee Xun was really unable to understand.
Lee Xun went back to recount the old man’s words.
“Senior Brother, let’s go help Dongting Sword Sect then.” Lu Tuan said, and Wang Ping and the other two nodded. If they could help at this time, it might be of some help to them when they go to the Dongting Sword Sect in the future.
“If you guys want to die, then go ahead. Look carefully at all these people, even though most of them are at the seventh stage, there are still quite a few at the eighth stage of the Tenth Rank. Let’s just take a look first.” Lee Xun’s words woke the four of them up. They weren’t afraid of a one-on-one fight, but with so many people fighting in a melee, it was hard to say.
A quarter of an hour later, the cries of eagles came from the direction of the valley entrance. The people from Dongting Sword Sect were immediately enlivened, as if they were the ones who had come to help. The people from the Dou Family who had originally held the upper hand immediately reacted, retreating from the canyon with the injured. On the other hand, there were less than thirty people left standing on the Dongting Sword Sect and many of them were lying on the ground moaning.
In less than two minutes, more than thirty people had rushed over and gathered with the people from Dongting Sword Sect. Seeing the end of the battle, the three groups of people who were watching also left towards the mouth of the valley.
Lee Xun and the rest did not want to wait any longer, since the reinforcements had arrived, there was nothing left for them to do, they all mounted their horses and prepared to leave. However, someone from the Dongting Sword Sect stopped them in their tracks, “You guys, I am Le Heng from Dongting Sword Sect, where are you friends from?”
“We are from Tianshan Sword Sect.” Lu Tuan replied. Normally, he would do these kinds of things.
Le Heng immediately revealed a joyous expression, he had originally wanted to try his luck and find a helper, the first three groups did not catch his eyes, but Lee Xun and the rest were different, Lu Tuan and the other three were actually ninth stage experts, and said: So it’s a friend from Tianshan Sword Sect, do you guys recognize Lee Xun?
Lu Tuan and the others all looked at Lee Xun, who revealed a puzzled expression. Listening to Le Heng’s words, he meant that Le Heng recognised him, but why didn’t remember him?
“This one is Lee Xun, I wonder how you know me?”
“Haha, it really is fate. I don’t know you, but my junior sisters do know you. A while ago, they passed by Jinyi City and told me about your achievements.” Le Heng laughed even more.
Lee Xun only smiled, but did not know what to say.
“Lee Xun, I know you and Junior Sister Shang Rongrong from my sect are engaged, so naturally you can count me as half a person. Now that we have encountered some difficulties, you must help us.”
However, Le Heng did not notice that when he said that Lee Xun and Shang Rongrong had an engagement, Qin Qing, who was at the side, actually smiled. Because Qin Qing knew that Lee Xun was extremely resistant to this engagement.
Lee Xun actually didn’t really want to care about the battles between Dongting Sword Sect, as it was impossible to say who was right and wrong in this kind of fight. But since the other party mentioned Shang Rongrong and the others, it wouldn’t be right for him to not help. Furthermore, he also had to consider Lu Tuan and the others’ conditions. Since the other party had proposed it, they had to agree as well.
“Brother Le Heng, if you have any orders, we will naturally help.”
“I don’t dare to take orders. With you protecting me, I presume our journey here won’t be too troublesome.” Le Heng knew about Lee Xun defeating three Alliance of Five elders alone, and killing those who used a secret technique to raise their strength to Tenth Rank was like killing a little chicken. With such a strong expert protecting him, what could happen? Although he was suspicious in his heart, whether the young Lee Xun really had those powerful Junior Sisters, under their fame, would definitely not be weak, Lee Xun would definitely not be weak. Furthermore, Lu Tuan and the other three all had the strength of the ninth stage.
The number of casualties was light. In this battle, 32 people died from Dongting Sword Sect, and 17 people were severely injured. They had set up camp at the entrance of the valley. After the battle, they obviously could not travel immediately. Furthermore, the closest towns around here were all only two days away, so it was obvious that the Dou Family had already calculated the distance.
“Brother Le Heng, can you tell us more about the people who ambushed you?” Lee Xun asked. Since he had participated, he naturally had to get to the bottom of this.
Le Heng’s eyes revealed a serious look: “They are from the Southern Ocean Dou Family, and the Southern Sea’s Dou Family has been developing at a rapid pace for the past two hundred years. According to their own words, their strength is definitely not below ours, and right now, they are always opposing our Dongting Sword Sect. To tell you the truth, the few elders in the Profound Sky Sect who were sent to argue seemed to have suffered a small loss. Thus, our battle with the Dou Family turned to the light. In this period of time, our Tianshan Sword Sect has lost the lives of nearly a thousand disciples, and they are about the same as well. When Le Heng said this, he could not help but feel a little sad.
“Looks like this Dou Family really cannot be underestimated.” Lee Xun lamented.
“Yeah. Oh right, Lee Xun, I wonder what business do you have in the east? Could it be that you have come to my Dongting Sword Sect to get married? ” Le Heng laughed, he was an optimistic person, the sadness did not last for long.
“Brother Le Heng, you must be joking. This time, it is true that we are going to meet you guys in Dongting Sword Sect, but the ones who want to get engaged are the four of them. My wife and I are searching for a member of her clan, who is also in your Dongting Sword Sect. ”
“Oh?” Le Heng looked at Lu Tuan and the other three. At this moment, the four big boys all revealed bashful expressions, and said. “It can’t be that they have taken a fancy to the junior sisters out of the ten flowers of our Dongting Sword Sect, right?”
“Haha, brother Le Heng’s guess was right.”
“My junior sisters are indeed attractive, but the four of them aren’t doing too well.” Le Heng shook his head and sighed.
“Brother Le Heng, being able to meet us here can be considered to be due to fate. I wonder if we can help the four of them?”
“It’s not that I’m trying to beat them, although their strength is considered quite good in their age group, there are still many in our Dongting Sword Sect. You have also seen my junior sisters, do you think our Dongting Sword Sect’s disciples can be taken away so easily? ”
“It won’t be a problem if they wish each other a happy ending, right?”
“How could there be no problems? This is a big problem.” The simplest part is, if any of my juniors were to suspect that they would be able to protect their juniors and issue a challenge, would you fight them or not? Even if he defeated one, what if there were other challengers? My junior brothers can lose, but the four of them cannot. ”
Sword Soul Continent was a place where strength reigns supreme. If Lee Xun did not have enough strength, he would not dare to casually bring Qin Qing out.
Lu Tuan and the other three naturally heard what Le Heng was saying clearly, and all four of them revealed troubled expressions.
“Whatever, they must face your junior brothers. If they really can’t pass, then it can only be said that they aren’t qualified. If they can’t protect the woman they love, then it would be better to give it to someone who can.” Lee Xun’s words were spoken very loudly, and looked likehe was saying it to Le Heng, but in reality, she was comforting Lu Tuan and the other three.
“Hehe, it might not be as serious as I said. If these Junior Sisters were to truly make up their minds, then it would be impossible for them to stop them. You said that you want to find someone in my Dongting Sword Sect, what’s your name? ”
“Qin Shuang.”
