Chapter Fifteen: The Chi Family(2/2)
These three people are obviously the connectors in their alley.
It seems that it was not necessarily Jia An who invited the Li brothers out.
Facing the compliments on their faces from the three of them, the yellow-robed monk didn't bother to respond. He just said, "Let's go!", turned around and walked out.
The three of them were not angry, and turned around to ask familiar people to follow them.
Xu Mu, Ma Rui and others followed and walked out of the alley.
After exiting the alley, I found that many people had gathered on the street, all of whom were nearby residents.
The crowd gathered and followed the yellow-robed monk towards the direction of Fangshi.
Halfway through, three more teams mixed in, reaching a huge number of four to five hundred people.
Such a large gathering of people in a small city is definitely a rare occurrence in a century.
Moreover, Xu Mu noticed that among them were not only the lower-level monks from the shanty towns, but also the middle-level monks living in Fang City, especially the leading ones, all of whom were wearing high-grade robes and were obviously of extraordinary strength.
In the past, all of them were existences that were beyond his reach.
With so many masters and so many people brought along, it felt less like asking for an explanation and more like forcing a woman to have an abortion.
Xu Mu had a vague feeling of something bad.
Especially after recognizing one of the senior monks, this feeling became even stronger.
With so many people, if there is a conflict later, it is likely to cause a big riot. If the time comes to get involved, they may become cannon fodder.
But it seemed that it was too late to withdraw now. He was trapped in the crowd. If he walked back, he would immediately fall into the spotlight.
Especially now that there are so many high-level monks in the team, he might be the first to take the lead.
All Xu Mu could do was to slow down as much as possible and let himself fall to the end of the team so that he could escape in time if an accident occurred.
"It turns out there are so many people! Maybe it can really happen now! Haha!"
Ma Rui, who was originally timid and fearful, suddenly became very emotional, excited and excited after joining the large army.
Xu Mu stepped back, but he pushed forward with all his strength.
"what happened?"
"what happened!"
Pedestrians on the street noticed their actions, stopped one after another, got out of the way, and started whispering to each other.
Some brave practitioners followed behind to see what they wanted to do.
The crowd continued to gather like this, and by the time they arrived at the Chi family's residence, the number of people had reached thousands.
The small doorway was crowded with people and very lively.
The Chi family has obviously received the news a long time ago. Several high-level monks wearing robes are guarding the door, waiting in full formation.
"What do you want to do? Do you know where this place is? You want to die!!"
A majestic man wearing high-grade cassocks and carrying a long sword stood in front of most of them and scolded them in a cold voice.
Facing a team of thousands of people, there was no sign of fear.
The gray-robed old cultivator with the highest cultivation level in the crowd stood up and said expressionlessly: "Master Chi, we don't want to do anything, we just come here to ask for an explanation! Your Chi family keeps increasing the rent, and we low-level monks have no money.
Now that we have a way to live, are the Chi family really going to force us to death?"
"snort!"
The head of the Chi family snorted coldly and said: "The rent in Fangshi is set by all the families together. You came to our Chi family alone. Could it be because you think our Chi family is easy to bully!"
As he spoke, an invisible aura emanated from his body, cold and sharp, like sharp swords at everyone's throats.
"We don't know who sets the rent. We only know that our rent is collected by the Chi family. Now let's ask the owner of the Chi family, can the rent be lowered? Can you give us a way to survive?"
Another monk in the late stage of Qi training stood up from the crowd and said coldly.
"Yes, give us a way to survive!"
"Does the Chi family insist on forcing us to death?"
"I am alone, and I will die anyway. The worst is, I will fight for you!"
The crowd was encouraged and started shouting loudly. The crowd was furious and a large-scale conflict could break out at any time.
The face of the head of the Chi family was extremely ugly.
Even if you think about it with your buttocks, you know that if such a large-scale group of monks can be forced to marry, there must be other foundation-building families behind it.
They knew that the ancestor of the Chi family was injured in the battle with Soul Refining and was temporarily unable to take action, so they deliberately took such a step.
If he backs down this time, there will be no end to the temptations ahead until they are driven to a dead end.
Although we all belong to the same camp, we never talk about being in love with each other.
The group of people in front of me are just cannon fodder.
"You want to lower the rent, don't you? Okay! I'll give you a chance! You, you, you!"
The head of the Chi family named the three strongest monks, including the old monk.
"As long as you three can take my sword, our Chi family will not only reduce the rent, but also waive your rent for a year! Do you dare or not?"
The head of the Chi family shouted loudly.
"This this……"
In fact, the three of them are not short of this little rent, it's just that the people behind them promised various benefits, so they were willing to come forward.
Otherwise, just a group of low-level monks wouldn't be able to accomplish anything.
What the head of the Chi family said was like putting them on the fire.
If they agree, even if they win, they won't get much benefit. One year's rent is nothing at their level.
But if you don't agree, the team that was originally gathered temporarily may disperse in an instant.
Without the strength of numbers, they would not dare to confront the Chi family.
After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
"In that case, the three of us will learn Master Chi's peerless sword technique together!"
The old cultivator in gray robe is also a human spirit, so he directly stated that the duel would be three against one, rather than one person at a time.
In this way, they are at least 90% sure of winning, even if the opponent is the Foundation Building Family.
The other two people's eyes also lit up, and they immediately raised their hands and said, "Then the three of us will learn from the master of the Chi family!"
The head of the Chi family looked ugly, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, but he did not stop the three people's cleverness.
As the duel was established, the crowd dispersed automatically, leaving an open space.
The four people stood facing each other.
The three old cultivators in gray robes immediately released their defensive magic weapons, and at the same time blessed them with several protective spells. It can be said that they turned themselves into turtle shells in an instant.
With such a defense, I'm afraid it won't even be able to break through the foundation building stage.
Everyone seemed to have foreseen that the head of the Chi family would be furious after his failure.
Xu Mu has a slightly different view.
Because he didn't think that the person who could take the position of the head of the family would be a fool.
"Are you ready?" the head of the Chi family said coldly.
"Please give me some advice, Master Chi!"
The three of them felt a little unsure. Although on the surface it looked like they had a great chance of winning, they didn't know why, but they just didn't know what was going on.
But now the arrow is on the string and must be fired, and there is no way they can be allowed to withdraw.
They can only comfort themselves in their hearts, maybe they think too much.
After all, the two parties are both late-stage qi-training monks. Three of them are against one. No matter how big the gap is, they won't be able to block even one move.
"In that case! Then——"
"Suffer death!"
A cold light burst out from the eyes of the Chi family leader, and the long sword behind his back suddenly unsheathed amidst the buzzing sound, releasing a fierce sword energy.
The next moment, the long sword divided!
One is divided into two, two is divided into four, and four is divided into eight, forming ten thousand long swords in the blink of an eye.
"Wanlingjianjue! Go!"
Facing such an attack, the expressions of the three people changed drastically.
"We recognize the Master of the Chi family...ahhhhh!"
The three people's impregnable defenses were instantly shattered into pieces by the impact of thousands of sword energies, and their bodies were directly shot into a hornet's nest.
When the sword energy dissipated, there were dense holes on the ground, which made everyone's scalp numb.
