At the beginning of Niujia Village, my sister-in-law and I depended on each other.

The viewing platform, front row.

Ke Zhen'e held an iron rod in his hand, tilted his head, and listened carefully to the movements on the podium. As for the fragrant tea on the table beside him, it seemed to be untouched.

At this moment, after listening to Niu Dingtian reading some policies aloud and then no one else moved, he suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice towards the high platform:
"I, the blind man, really admire the teachings of Master Niu! If there are no more ceremonies later, I, Ke, will dare to use this platform to settle some personal grudges!"

Opposite, Quanzhen Sect area
Seeing the figure holding the staff suddenly attack, Ma Yu's expression paused slightly. He frowned and looked at his fellow junior brothers and sisters, then stared at the young man in the crown on the platform, his face gradually becoming solemn.

Beside him, Qiu Chuji had his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting. Hearing the noise from the opposite side, he raised his thick dark green eyebrows slightly and opened his eyes expressionlessly.

"Big brother!"

Han Baoju and Zhu Cong quickly stood up, one on each side, and tried to carry Ke Zhenwu away. Han Baoju even complained in a low voice, "Can't we wait? Aren't you destroying your own place?"

Ke Zhenwu's face froze, and when he thought of his seventh sister, he hesitated slightly.

On the high platform, Niu Dingtian had a calm expression, his face was like mysterious water, and he glanced at the three people below the stage. Without any hesitation, he looked around and said loudly: "The divine teaching has been completed, and the ceremony has ended."

"The leader of this sect said before outside the city that this conference is for the purpose of establishing the sect, settling grudges, and discussing martial arts. Therefore, anyone who has grudges can settle them one by one on this high platform, regardless of life or death!"

"but……"

Niu Dingtian paused, changed the subject, and his cold and bright eyes once again glanced over. The atmosphere in the audience was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"After the grudge is settled, you must not maliciously take someone's life during the martial arts discussion!"

After saying this, Niu Dingtian turned into a phantom and instantly flashed to the side of the huge cauldron for offering sacrifices to the sky.

He just pushed out with one hand, and a wave of air suddenly rose on the stage. Then there was a loud "bang", and the thousand-pound tripod rose from the ground, and with a whoosh of breaking through the air, it flew steadily to the center of the square.

"boom!"

The huge cauldron for offering sacrifices to heaven fell to the ground with a loud bang, but the blue bricks on the ground were not damaged, and not even the broth in the cauldron splashed out.

"Clearance!"

Niu Dingtian shouted loudly, then flew up, then landed on the viewing platform and sat on a throne next to Fentian.

Several guards received the order and quickly went up to the platform and removed the brazier and the carved sandalwood chair.

"OK!"

Ke Zhenwu raised his head slightly, smiled happily, and shouted: "Second brother, third brother! Follow me to the stage!"

After saying that, he slammed the demon-subduing staff in his hand on the blue bricks with a bang, and with the force of the staff, he flew to the platform like a flying bat.

"Second Master! Third Master! Jing'er is going too!" Seeing this, Guo Jing in the back row hurried over.

Glancing at Qiu Chuji in the distance, a look of resentment flashed across his dark face. Obviously, he had not forgotten the scene in the felt tent that day for three years.

Han Baoju and Zhu Cong looked at each other, frowned, and scolded: "Stay away, children, don't meddle in adult affairs!"

"But……"

Guo Jing still wanted to argue.

Han Baoju waved his hand and pushed him away. Then, holding the Golden Dragon Whip, he swung it at the wooden stake beside the stage. The golden whip was wrapped tightly around the stake, and with a slight pull of his hand, the fat body fell steadily beside his eldest brother.

Zhu Cong unfolded the iron fan in his hand and smiled to comfort him: "Jing'er is still young, you should practice hard first. If the masters are defeated today, you will have to take over the revenge in the future."

After saying that, he suddenly put away the iron fan, leaped up, and landed steadily on the other side of Ke Zhenwu.

On the stage, Han Xiaoying stared at the young man in the crown and saw him nod slightly. Then she stood up with her sword in hand, ready to go on stage.

"Wait a minute!"

However, at this moment, Ma Yu in the distance suddenly stood up with a serious expression, shouted loudly, and bowed to the young man in the crown robe, hesitantly said:

"Master Niu! Since Miss Han is a member of your sect, as the host, wouldn't it be inconvenient for your sect to take action today?"

Niu Dingtian raised his eyebrows.

People in the stands also started talking about it, but since there was something exciting to watch, how could they miss it?
Then some people who thought the excitement was not enough stood up with knives in their hands and started to make a fuss:

"I heard that Taoist Qiu fought against seven people at one time and never lost. Why is the Quanzhen Sect so scared now? Besides, why don't we take revenge?"

"That's right! If you have a grudge, you should take revenge. If you have a grudge, you should take revenge. Since you have a grudge, what does it have to do with the owner?"

Niu Dingtian's eyes sparkled, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, then looked at Ma Yu in surprise, asking in confusion: "When did she become a member of our Sun Moon Divine Sect?"

"she is not……"

Ma Yu wanted to say something else. If Han Xiaoying got involved, once his junior brother took heavy-handed action, this person would definitely turn hostile and show no mercy.

But before he could finish his words, Niu Dingtian frowned and interrupted him, saying, "Let alone the revenge of my sworn brother, she has not yet officially entered the sect, so she is naturally not considered a member of the Divine Religion. How can she be accused of deceiving a guest?"

"Brother, there is no need to say more!" Qiu Chuji had a blank expression on his face. He slowly stood up, took off the sword behind him and held it in his hand.

He did not look at Niu Dingtian, nor did he look at Ke Zhen'e and the other two on the platform. Instead, he looked towards the Beggars' Sect area with a stern gaze and said in a deep voice:
"The reason we fought back then was because the other party insulted our master first. But the final disastrous consequences were caused by the malicious words and instigation of the Beggars' Sect elders."

"This is not just my one-sided statement. The details of what happened are naturally known to Master Ke and the others. Moreover, the child was also present that day. If it weren't for Lady Han's rescue, I'm afraid that this Liangshan hero would have been beheaded and killed by the elders of the Beggars' Sect!"

After saying that, Qiu Chuji stared intently, raised his arm, and slowly pointed the sword at the person opposite him, who was the stunned Guo Jing.

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a sudden gust of wind rippling a pool of spring water, and there was an uproar in the square.

Everyone thought that the Northern Beggar Hong Qigong was a man of great integrity, but his elders actually attacked a child. Judging from the child's age, he was only about ten years old three years ago. Yideng and Huang Yaoshi exchanged a glance, and his thick white eyebrows could not help but frown, and a trace of worry appeared on his kind face.

Yideng was indeed a little worried, fearing that the grudge between Niu Dingtian and Hong Qigong, which had been resolved with great difficulty, would be disturbed again because of this.

Of course, some are sad and some are happy.

Today, the four greatest masters sat in a row. Ouyang Feng, who was at the edge, couldn't hide the smile on his face. He glanced at Hong Qigong beside him. His gloomy eyes were sparkling, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Qiu Chuji continued in a deep voice, "It's fine for Lady Han to take action today. As long as Master Niu doesn't interfere, I can deal with it alone. But after this grudge is settled, whether it's life or death, the Beggars' Sect must give an explanation to the Quanzhen Sect and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan!"

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

Lu Youjiao could no longer bear it. He cursed angrily, banged his bamboo stick, and stood up with a group of disciples in indignation, saying angrily: "The elder of my Beggars' Sect has died tragically, what else do you want the Beggars' Sect to explain to your Quanzhen Sect?"

Not far away, Hong Qigong saw this scene, put down the wine gourd that was about to reach his mouth, and couldn't help but frowned.

At this moment, Ouyang Feng came up to him and snorted, "How come after Brother Chongyang passed away, these young idiots are becoming more and more ungrateful? If it's too much trouble, Seventh Brother, I will take care of it for you later."

Hong Qigong snorted and distanced himself from him, saying without any appreciation: "Why didn't Brother Chongyang listen to your words when he was alive? The affairs of the Beggars' Sect do not need other people to meddle. If you have time, you might as well discipline your useless nephew."

Ouyang Feng was not amused, so he could only laugh: "Seventh Brother is just a name, now there is only an old kid left in Quanzhen Sect, he was defeated by me, and he still makes you afraid."

Hong Qigong ignored him. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he knew that the Taoist named Qiu was trying to drag the Beggars' Sect into trouble.

But the facts are the facts, and this concerns the reputation of the Beggars' Sect, so an explanation must be given today.

So he tied the wine gourd, picked up the dog-beating stick, leaped forward, and with the faint sound of dragon's roar, he spread his wings and soared towards the center of the square like an eagle.

The moment the pair of big feet in tattered cloth shoes touched the ground, an invisible air wave spread out along the body.

Seeing countless eyes looking at him, Hong Qigong held the dog-beating stick, clasped his fists and saluted, saying with a stern face: "The old beggar has always acted uprightly. If there is, there is. If there is no, there is no. I will never deny right or wrong!"

After a pause, Hong Qigong looked around and said with a guilty look on his face, "I inherited the position of the 18th leader from Leader Qian 20 years ago, but I am greedy and playful by nature. I have been wandering around for many years and have neglected to discipline the disciples in the gang, which has led to some illegal acts by some disciples in recent years. Here, I, the old beggar, would like to apologize to you all first!"

As he spoke, he bowed and clasped his fists, performing a square salute. He raised his head and said in a deep voice, "This time, the old beggar has returned. A total of five high-level disciples and 16 middle-level disciples have been investigated and punished. The reasons for all of them have been investigated, their martial arts have been revoked, and they have been expelled from the Beggars' Sect!"

hiss~
After hearing this, everyone present took a deep breath. Nowadays, in the martial arts world, there are few people who can be so ruthless when dealing with illegal disciples.

In the Jianghu, force is the most important thing. The middle and high-level members of a sect have always been the backbone and part of the sect's strength since ancient times.

Therefore, as long as it is not stealing or damaging the interests of the sect, most people will let it go. How many people would cut off their own arms because of illegality like this?
"There are many illegal sects in the martial arts world. This is to scrape the bones and remove the poison. Brother Seventh has such courage. He really deserves the name of the Five Supremes."

On the stands, after hearing what Hong Qigong said, the worry on Yidenghe's face gradually disappeared, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

He knew that given the other party's personality, he would never use such things to deceive the martial arts masters.

Huang Yaoshi also nodded slightly.

Ouyang Feng sneered and said nothing. In his opinion, putting on a show in public was just a way of seeking fame and reputation.

Here, Fentian withdrew his gaze from Hong Qigong and stared at the young man in the crown beside him. There seemed to be a hint of hesitation on his snow-white face.

Niu Dingtian sat on the armchair, his eyes were indifferent, still staring at the scene. But he seemed to have noticed the beauty's expression, and said indifferently: "If the Divine Religion wants to last long, it must be like this."

"If masters are gone, we can continue to train them. As long as there are secret manuals of martial arts passed down, there will never be a shortage of masters. But once masters lose their bottom line for personal gain, no matter how big the sect is, it will eventually be hollowed out."

Fentian nodded slightly after hearing this, and looked at the field again with her beautiful eyes, hesitantly saying: "Are we just going to watch him perform alone?"

Niu Dingtian smiled softly and said, "This is probably true, but the veterans present here will not let it go easily. I didn't expect that Qiu Chuji would want to drag the Beggars' Sect into the water and share the firepower with the Quanzhen Sect."

"No matter whether that request is fulfilled or not, and no matter what the outcome of the fight is, everyone will not just focus on the scandal of Quanzhen Sect in the future."

Fentian raised his willow-shaped eyebrows and said in a delicate voice, "But Wang Chongyang is dead. If we really want to make enemies, the Quanzhen Sect is no match for the Beggars' Sect."

Niu Dingtian retracted his gaze, turned his head, and leaned close to the beautiful woman's bright and beautiful face, and whispered: "No one is afraid of reasonable people. Besides, they have a set of combined sword formations that are not simple, and the old man who fought with the Divine Eagle earlier is their uncle, which is called confidence."

"What do you see over there?"

After saying that, Niu Dingtian pointed to the top of a palace farthest to the left.

There was a man lying on the roof, wearing a grey cloth in a rather funny way, with only two small holes showing his eyes staring at the excitement in the field.

in the square
Hong Qigong said in a deep voice: "Three years ago, the elder and leader of the Beggars' Sect died tragically. Later, some elders in the sect used this to confuse right and wrong and framed high-level disciples, which led to a series of disastrous consequences later."

"Although he died at the hands of Master Niu and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, it was his own fault. Moreover, the old beggar was not good at judging people and did not discipline them strictly. Therefore, I have no face to talk about revenge."

"As the saying goes, when a person dies, all grudges are gone. Since I have paid with my life, the grudges are naturally settled. If there is anything that the Quanzhen Sect wants to explain, this old beggar will take it on!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden silence. Qiu Chuji's face was not looking good, and the other junior brothers and sisters were naturally not much better.

But just as Niu Dingtian said, this rare opportunity to suppress the Five Supremes was naturally not something that more than one or two people were willing to let go of. Then someone shouted in a deep voice:

"It's understandable that people in the martial arts world have grudges and hatreds, but the child was only ten years old at the time, and the elders of the Beggar Gang were so cruel as to kill him? We have admired the Northern Beggar for many years, but we didn't expect that he was blind!"

"That's right! Gang Leader Hong needs to give us an explanation for that kid! Otherwise, we will ask Cult Leader Niu to do justice today!"

"Please ask Master Niu to administer justice!"

"Please ask Master Niu to administer justice!"

"Please ask Master Niu to administer justice!"
