Chapter 376 It Must Have Been the Demon Cult’s Work
When the Zuo Mansion and the Zhao Family announced their marriage, heroes from all over Henan lamented that Zuo Lengchan of Songshan had completely cut off ties with the underworld.
Look at his relative-in-law, the daughter of a sixth-rank Tongpan. She is more educated and well-mannered than the women of the martial arts world, but she is not as straightforward as them. I am afraid that his Zuo family will not be able to stand her rules and make a fool of themselves.
Compared to the rest of the martial arts world, the Golden Blade Wang family is in a gloomy situation.
Wang Xiaoliu stood in the living room with her head lowered. Grandpa Wang Yuanba, uncle Wang Bofen, father Wang Zhongqiang, and her two brothers all looked at her with some dissatisfaction.
Wang Jiajun looked at this pretty cousin and asked angrily, "You and Zuo Ting have known each other for almost a year, and you haven't made any progress?!"
"I wonder what kind of progress big brother is talking about?" Wang Xiaoliu asked in a low voice.
"You!" Wang Jiajun wanted to speak, but it was a bit difficult to start the conversation, so he turned his head to look at his father.
Wang Bofen sighed, looked at Wang Xiaoliu and asked, "Xiaoliu, you and Zuo Ting have met many times, don't you have any intimate contact?"
"No."
Wang Xiaoliu shook her head, glanced at her father and said, "Dad said that women should be more reserved."
At this moment, seven figures suddenly appeared in the Wang family compound and surrounded all the members of the Wang family.
Wang Yuanba's face darkened, and he leaped in front of his golden sword and grasped the weapon.
The two opponents worked in perfect harmony, tapping the ground with their toes like two gusts of wind, suddenly approaching Wang Yuanba. The other five faced off against the various masters of the Wang family.
One of them swept his blade towards Wang Yuanba's abdomen.
The other one attacked with lightning speed and rapid strikes like a machine gun. Each strike was accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, and the momentum was astonishing.
Wang Yuanba was steady and swung his arm guard to resolve the crisis of the sweep. Then he swung the golden sword to block the continuous straight attacks one by one. Every sound of metal clashing was so loud that it hurt people's eardrums.
Then Wang Yuanba turned his body to the side, cleverly avoiding his opponent's attack.
Upon seeing this, the opponent immediately switched from offensive to defensive. Just as the old man got behind him and was about to deliver a fatal blow, he successfully blocked it.
The opponent on the other side seized the opportunity and rushed forward quickly, with the knife flashing. He first made a feint, causing Wang Yuanba to move slightly, then turned sharply, holding the knife in his left hand, and pushed with his right hand. The blade rotated at an incredible angle and turned into a blade curtain, covering Wang Yuanba.
Faced with this sudden attack, Wang Yuanba's face changed. He could no longer dodge, so he could only take a deep breath, and with his internal strength surging, his golden sword faced the blade curtain.
"clang!"
"clang!"
"clang!"
After several consecutive slashes, Wang Yuanba was forced to retreat again and again. At this moment, another opponent rushed up again and slashed with his sword.
Wang Yuanba was suddenly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. At the critical moment, he exerted force from his waist, raised his internal energy, and stood up sideways against the attack from the man in front of him, avoiding the fatal blow.
Seeing this, the enemy in front had a fierce look in his eyes. Without hesitation, he increased his strength, and the sword was as powerful as a meteorite falling to the ground, slashing towards Wang Yuanba in mid-air.
With a dull thud, Wang Yuanba fell to the ground, a mouthful of blood gushing out of his throat, obviously suffering internal injuries.
"father!"
"grandfather!"
When the Wang family members saw this, they were horrified and angry.
Wang Bofen shouted, "Who are you?! Let me tell you, my nephew is Lin Pingzhi, a disciple of Wudang Taoist Chongxu. You have committed murder in the Wang family today, and Wudang will definitely not sit idly by!"
"Hmph! We're going to kill you, the Wang family." One of them said coldly, and swung his knife even more fiercely.
Just as the Wang family was about to be wiped out, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves outside the door, followed by a voice: "Is it the Golden Blade Wang family? Wan Daping from Songshan, under the order of my master, has come to deliver the invitation."
"Master Wan, save me!" Wang Jiajun shouted immediately after hearing the voice.
"Um?!"
Wan Daping was shocked and immediately led a group of Songshan guards to kick open the door and rush in: "Who is so bold as to cause trouble in Luoyang!" Seeing this, they immediately threw down a few smoke bombs, and after a "bang" splashed a cloud of white mist, they quickly retreated.
"Dad!" Wang Bofen and Wang Zhongqiang quickly helped Wang Yuanba up and asked nervously, "How are you?"
"call"
Wang Yuanba slowly exhaled, then he bowed to Wan Daping who came in and thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Wan, for your help. Otherwise, the Wang family would not be able to escape the disaster today."
"You are too polite, Senior Wang. We just happened to meet." Wan Daping bowed in return and asked in confusion, "Who are these seven people? Why are they looking for trouble with the Wang family?"
"I don't know either, but the sword techniques they used are the Qinglong Dingtang Sword and Qimen Sancai Sword from the north."
Wang Yuanba was also confused. His Wang family had kept a low profile over the years and hadn't offended anyone!
Why did it suddenly appear?
Wait, the wily Wang Yuanba couldn’t help but glance at Wan Daping. If he had offended someone, would Zuo Lengchan be considered the one who had been offended?
But looking at Wan Daping's sincere eyes, he was not sure again.
Wang Bofen said excitedly, "It must be the revenge of the demon sect! I mentioned Wudang, but they became even more ruthless."
Wan Daping frowned slightly and said, "Last year, the Five Mountains Sword Sects joined forces with the Shaolin, Wudang and Beggars' Sects to fight the Demon Sect at the Ancestor Mountain. Both sides suffered numerous casualties. After defeating many other masters, the world's top fighter Dongfang Bubai went to Beijing to challenge Lord Ou, but was eventually seriously injured and died at the hands of Lord Ou. Since then, the Demon Sect has been lurking in the Black Wood Cliff. Logically speaking, they should not be able to cause trouble in the martial arts world."
“But who else could be so disregarding of the elders and the young if not the Demon Cult?” Wang Zhongqiang analyzed, “Pingzhi must have killed a lot of demons in the Ancestor Mountain. They didn’t dare to go to Wudang for revenge, so they came to my Wang family to vent their anger.”
Wan Daping had no idea, so he could only say, "I will report this to Master Yu. Maybe he has some information. No matter who the other party is, he shouldn't be so reckless in Luoyang! I, the Songshan Guard, will not ignore this matter."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Wan!" Wang Yuanba could not see any flaws on Wan Daping's face, so he could only bow to express his gratitude.
Wan Daping waved his hand, then took out a beautifully crafted invitation from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Yuanba with both hands and said, "My young master is getting married on July 19th, and I would like to invite Senior Wang to come and have a drink at that time."
Wang Yuanba took the invitation with a somewhat melancholy look on his face, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Wang Xiaoliu looked at the invitation with a gloomy expression. Although she didn't have any feelings for Zuo Ting, the other party's identity was there after all. She also knew that if she missed this opportunity, she would never see it again.
At this moment, she regretted her previous reserve and not taking a few more steps to grab this rich son-in-law.
Wang Zhongqiang was a little unwilling. He glanced at his daughter, gritted his teeth and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Zuo from your family still remembers Xiao Liu?"
After hearing this, Wan Daping smiled and nodded, saying, "If it wasn't for Brother Wang's reminder, I would have almost forgotten about this. The young master asked me to tell Miss Wang a message: once friends, always friends."
"Friend," Wang Xiaoliu muttered, thinking of Zuo Ting's ordinary face, and felt that he was actually quite good-looking.
When the Wang family heard this, they knew there was no hope.
Wang Yuanba was even more annoyed. Zuo Ting was a kind man and he withdrew very quickly.
I don't know how the sinister Zuo Lengchan cultivated such a naive girl. You have known Wang Xiaoliu for such a long time, why can't you send the people around you away before using force? !
Wan Daping didn't know what this family was thinking. He exchanged a few more words with Wang Yuanba and then left.
After returning to Zuo Mansion, he reported the matter to Zuo Lengchan.
Zuo Lengchan was stunned for a moment, and said, "The current leader of the Sun Moon Divine Sect is Ren Yingying. This woman is very scheming and should not do such a stupid thing. But I heard that many masters of the Divine Sect are not convinced and may run down the mountain to cause trouble."
"What does the master mean?" Wan Daping asked in confusion.
Zuo Lengchan said with a cold look: "Let the Luoyang guards increase patrols and find these seven people. If they were causing trouble somewhere else, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to them, but in Luoyang, that's not allowed!"
"Yes!" Wan Daping responded and then stepped back.
Zuo Lengchan put down the book, and the housekeeper came up to pour him some tea.
"How is that family?" Zuo Lengchan asked calmly.
"The father and his two sons all have internal injuries. They need to be recuperated for half a year." The housekeeper bent over and asked with a smile: "Master, I don't understand, why don't you just be direct?"
"I'm a Tongzhi, how can I break the law knowingly? Just give him a lesson and scare him." Zuo Lengchan shook his head, feeling that it was indeed not easy to be an official. He had been cultivating himself for so long, but until his son completely lost interest in the girl from the Wang family, he could not help but send people to beat up Wang Yuanba to vent his anger.
If it were three years ago, he would have directly ordered the Seven Star Messenger to wipe out the entire Wang family. Unlike now, he would not have to leave some time for Wan Daping to rescue them.
Thinking of this, Zuo Lengchan sighed secretly and decided to go to Shaolin to chat with Master Fang Jing another day to get rid of the anger in his heart.
