In fact, from the arrival of several people to Zhong Jinyuan flying to meet them, and then boldly taking action, the whole incident took only a few moments.
This sudden change made most people realize that the other party had come to cause trouble.
And they did not expect that, faced with a powerful figure who had already revealed the background of Divine Court, Lord Zhongcheng still chose to confront him head-on.
" Liao Shisan..." Tang Lian seemed somewhat displeased.
Liao Shisan felt a wave of disdain in his heart, but he made a great effort to maintain a composed expression: " Brother Tang, don't worry. Whatever he did to Miss Jiang Yan, we will repay him a hundredfold."
With that, he gave a meaningful look to the old man standing beside him. The old man patted the pouch at his waist, and a person fell out from inside, who turned out to be the tightly bound Zhong Jiying.
Zhong Jinyuan widened his eyes: "Ji Ying!"
"Break her hands," Tang Lian said coldly.
Liao Shisan nodded, and the veiled woman beside him skillfully stepped forward, reaching out her hand to gently snap something.
"Ah!" "Zhong Jiying" screamed in agony.
"Ji Ying!" Zhong Jinyuan's eyes widened in horror. "If you have any issues, come at me, don't touch Ji Ying!"
"Now that we have you in our hands, it seems like you don't have the qualifications to set conditions," Liao Shisan said smugly.
"Don't get too cocky! Once the city lord gives the order, and the Guardian City Array is activated, none of you bandits will be able to escape!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
Unexpectedly, a young man in the audience, far from the high platform, gathered his courage to rebuke Liao Shisan, and other guests chimed in, showing that the Zhong family is indeed popular in Zhangyu City.
Liao Shisan laughed, "Young man, I don't mean to discourage you, but the so-called Guardian City Array has long been in my hands. Am I right, Mr. Zuo Leng?"
Just now, the old man who released Zhong Jiying nodded and said, "Thousand Faces Alliance never misses."
"Thousand Faces Alliance!"
"It's the Thousand Faces Alliance!"
"Trouble! Miss is in danger this time!"
"Lord Zhongcheng would fear the Thousand Faces Alliance?"
"Foolish, ignorance breeds fearlessness. The Thousand Faces Alliance is at the peak in Mercenary City! In recent years, it has shown signs of catching up to the Wind and Rain Tower."
"Sigh, catching up with the trend of the Assassin First Organization? That's really impressive."
The audience below once again began to discuss fervently. However, the first people who had run to the outskirts of the venue had returned. This was because they had discovered that an invisible formation had already enveloped the entire venue, trapping them inside.
"Your Excellency's intention seems to be to leave no one behind here. It might be better to leave now and avoid further trouble."
Just as everyone's attention was focused on Lord Zhongcheng and Liao Shisan, a serious and somewhat majestic voice sounded from all directions.
"Who? Who is playing god and making trouble? Come out!" Liao Shisan was very unhappy. Someone interrupted his territory, this was his revenge, he wouldn't allow anyone to steal the limelight.
Zhou Dian stepped into the air, there was neither light nor clouds around, as if walking on an invisible staircase.
At this time, he still had the appearance of a Confucian scholar with a long robe and a Confucian scholar, but with a sword at his waist.
The always expressionless Zuo Leng suddenly frowned.
"Who are you? If you are not a member of the Zhong family, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!" Liao Shisan looked at the person and suddenly had a premonition that things were about to get out of control.
This person's spiritual power was released externally and used freely, able to float without exerting pressure on the surroundings. He was a powerful cultivator at the Foundation Building Stage. Even Liao Shisan, who was already in the Solidified Realm, became cautious.
"My name is Zhou Dian," Zhou Dian spoke slowly.
" Mad Emperor Zhou Dian?!" Liao Shisan exclaimed.
"What is he doing here?"
"Could it be that he's here to help the lord when he sees injustice?"
"Ridiculous, he must be here to cause trouble. Otherwise, why hasn't anyone heard that he was coming?"
Just as the audience was in heated discussion, someone recognized Zhou Dian: "No, no, isn't this person Zhou Sheng? The somewhat famous Confucian scholar!"
"Isn't this the person invited by Lord Zhongcheng to the banquet?"
The crowd started to buzz again, just as it had quieted down due to the strong presence of Liao Shisan and others.
Zhong Jinyuan was also stunned. He never expected that the accomplished Confucian scholar was actually the famous Zhou Dian! But now is not the time to discuss his background; the important thing is to continue the performance.
Zhong Jinyuan could only smile bitterly and say, "Zhou, my friend, you really kept this from me."
"I am who? Turns out I am the mad emperor." Liao Shisan was momentarily surprised, then regained his composure. "So, according to you, what should we do?"
Zhou Dian carefully spoke, "Your two families have been in constant friction since ancient times. It would be better for each to withdraw and make way for the great wedding day of Divine Court Young Master Qi. We can find another time to fight."
Liao Shisan jokingly looked at the tense followers on both sides and said, "Do you see, is this possible?"
"What's not possible? It's harmony that is most valued in the world, that's the right way!" Zhou Dian remained unmoved, "Don't you agree, Lord Zhongcheng."
However, Zhong Jinyuan did not answer Zhou Dian, just furrowed his brow and remained silent.
Liao Shisan smiled as if in control and shook his head, saying, "Besides, I didn't come for that kid Qi Liang..."
His tone gradually became ferocious: "I came here today just for Zhong Jinyuan!"
Zhong Jinyuan's heart sank. He had actually anticipated Liao Shisan's retaliation, but he hadn't expected that Zhong Jiying had almost been kidnapped because of him.
"I, Zhong Jinyuan, take responsibility for my own actions. If there's any issue, come to me and release Ji Ying!"
The powerful voice resounded through the venue, fueled by Zhong Jinyuan's true energy.
"Let her go? You actually want me to let her go? Hahaha..." Liao Shisan seemed to find something amusing and laughed openly.
No one dared to act rashly, each with their own concerns, and could only wait for this person to finish laughing.
Then in Zhangyu City, such a scene appeared: a joyous wedding banquet, with the guests silent and only a tall, thin man in the center laughing wildly.
Zhong Jinyuan looked at the frenzied Liao Shisan, appearing eager but secretly delighted. If he could lose his mind in his eagerness for revenge, it would be even better...
"What are you laughing at!" Zhong Jinyuan said casually.
Liao Shisan looked at Zhong Jinyuan mockingly and said, "I'm laughing at the fact that you're about to die and you don't even know the reason. Today, I'll make sure you die with understanding!"
Zhong Jinyuan was not afraid at all: "Hmph, I'd like to hear how you can twist the truth!"
Liao Shisan glanced discreetly at his fellow traveler, the old man, and saw him nod. Liao Shisan began to calculate in his mind: "Twenty years ago, the massacre of bandits at Blood Sun Village in Black Wind Mountain. Do you still remember?"
"I remember clearly, at that time, my ancestor from the the Zhong family went against popular opinion and sent me to lead the Red Guards to eradicate that big tumor. It was also when I met Zhou Dian," Zhong Jinyuan said.
Liao Shisan laughed and said, "You really know how to praise yourself, shameless old thing!"
Immediately, he turned to the guests around him and said, "Do you know why Zhong Jinyuan insisted on using the name of the the Zhong family ancestor at that time? Ha, it's simply because he wanted to take possession of the Blood Yang Technique in the stronghold without attracting the attention of the authorities!"
Then he pointed at Zhong Jinyuan and said, "It was his selfish desires at work. Before we could ransom the hostages, he charged up the mountain. The abducted hostages were all slaughtered by the villains in an instant, and we didn't have a chance to rescue them!"
"This..."
"Lord Zhongcheng is not that kind of person, everyone don't be deceived by Liao Shisan!"
"Lord Zhongcheng Is this true?"
"Lord of the city!"
"Tell us, what is the truth? Is it real?"
Liao Shisan continued, "Hmph, the so-called masterpiece of your esteemed lord, the the Zhong family's Bright Cloud, is nothing more than a combination of Blood Yang Technique and the the Zhong family's Ninefold Force!"
The audience below once again became restless, as Liao Shisan spoke with great conviction, as if there was indeed some truth to his words.
Before Zhong Jinyuan could respond, Liao Shisan pulled out another bombshell: "And among the hostages from that year, only one was lucky enough to survive. That would be the current mad emperor, Zhou Dian, who was once a Confucian scholar."
"!"
The crowd was surprised once again, then looked at Zhou Dian. They saw Zhou Dian nodding and saying, "It is indeed me, but I was knocked unconscious at the time and was unaware of what was happening outside."
"Hmph! Now you understand?" Liao Shisan sneered, "You, Zhou Dian, have always prided yourself on not helping evildoers, not killing the innocent, and cultivating a righteous aura to aid in your practice. In just twenty years, you achieved the golden elixir! And now you want to help the tyrant? Aren't you afraid of losing your righteous aura and the golden elixir?"
Zhou Dian ignored his sarcasm and said calmly, "But his daughter is just an ordinary person. When the tragedy occurred years ago, she was just a helpless child. Why do you need to take it out on his daughter?"
"How will you handle it?" Liao Shisan looked at Zhou Dian with interest.
"If you hand over Zhong Jiying, we can fight another day," Zhou Dian stuck to his old routine.
Liao Shisan straightforwardly said, "Impossible."
Zhou Dian shook his head and said, "We can sign a contract and have a gambling match in Immortal Realm. Your level is similar to Lord Zhongcheng, so it's fair."
Liao Shisan didn't respond, but glanced at Zhong Jinyuan with a hopeful expression, then waved his hand. "Zhong Jiying" was immediately grabbed by the neck and lifted up by him.
Struggling to breathe, "Zhong Jiying" kicked wildly in the air, while Liao Shisan looked fiercely at Zhong Jinyuan, saying, "Fair? He caused my sister to be buried in Black Wind Mountain. So today, I will kill his daughter. That's what you call fair!"
Saying this, he was about to break "Zhong Jiying's" neck.
