"Alliance Master Zuo!"
Jun Yue left Dragon Gate Grotto. On the way back to Luoyang, he saw a tall figure blocking his way. At first glance, Jun Yue knew who it was. It was Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Five Peaks Alliance!
Mount Song was only about a hundred miles away from Luoyang, so Jun Yue was not surprised that Zuo Lengchan would appear here. However, it was a surprise that he would appear here.
Just now, he was attacked by the White Lotus Society. Now that Zuo Lengchan was here, it was not the right time for him to do so.
"Junior Brother Yue, why are you here? You are related to the robbery!"
"Official Silver Robbery!"
Hearing Zuo Lengchan's words, Jun Yue's expression changed. Was that golden Buddha made of official silver?
If that was the case, the White Lotus Society would really go against him this time, even if he was the one who had been unjust first.
What was official silver? That was the silver from the government's treasury. Even Jun Yue could not touch the silver. Apart from the deterrence of the government, the official silver was also used for many other purposes. The salary of the army, the salary of the ministers, the livelihood of the people…It was not the private pocket of those officials.
" This time, I was entrusted by the Luoyang Prefecture Chief Constable, Iron Sword Pang Fei, to investigate a case of stolen official silver. I just received a tip that they were doing business in Dragon Gate Grotto, and Junior Brother Yue appeared here. Could it be..."
Originally, Alliance Master Zuo didn't need to come to this case, but after he knew that Jun Yue had come to Luoyang, he had an idea and came personally.
Jun Yue looked at Zuo Lengchan, and his eyes immediately revealed a cold and murderous aura.
White Lotus Society? Mount Song Sect?
Jun Yue quickly denied this speculation because Zuo Lengchan was courting death. At least if the two sides were to cooperate, there would be ambushes within a thousand feet, but there were none now.
Moreover, there was also the matter of the official silver robbery. Jun Yue felt that even if Zuo Lengchan did not resort to extreme means, he would not have such great means, let alone stand out openly.
" Alliance Master Zuo received the information about who it was. This time, it was related to me. However, I was the one who settled the grudge with the White Lotus Society in Dragon Gate Grotto. As soon as they left, the officials came. However, I have been in Luoyang for some time now. Why haven't I heard about the robbery?”
"White Lotus Society!"
Hearing Jun Yue's admission, Zuo Lengchan was a little surprised, but when he heard Jun Yue mention the White Lotus Society, Zuo Lengchan's expression changed drastically. He knew what kind of existence the White Lotus Society was.
The White Lotus Society was neither righteous nor demonic, but evil. Their influence far surpassed the Five Mountain Sword Sect!
The White Lotus Society was not just a sect, but a religious orthodoxy. They definitely had more than tens of thousands of followers, while the Five Mountain Sword Sect only had a little over a thousand disciples including those who were not of the same rank.
"Junior Brother Yue has connections with the White Lotus Society?”
"They injured my eldest disciple, Linghu Chong, and I killed one of their top experts and two of their elders and guardians!”
One top-notch expert and two first-rate experts?
However, when he thought about the report they had arranged near Mount Hua, he realized that there was such a thing. However, he did not know the whole story. He did not expect it to be related to the White Lotus Society.
He thought about the many things that had happened this time. Although Jun Yue was his enemy, he believed that Jun Yue would never do something like intercepting the official silver. Moreover, this was a show full of flaws. His opponent was not such a fool. He believed that Jun Yue had been schemed against by the White Lotus Society.
At the very least, the death of the top expert and the two first-rate experts was not in vain. If three first-rate experts had died on Mount Song, he would have done the same.
"Junior Martial Brother Yue, how could the official silver be involved in this matter of settling grudges with them?”
"They sent people to investigate Mount Hua several months ago, and they even killed my second disciple, Laudeno. What they wanted was an ancient lotus mirror that I accidentally obtained from the foot of the mountain. It was said to be a sacred object that was passed down from the White Lotus Society. I don't know where this news was leaked, but that's why they came to Mount Hua. In order not to cause trouble for them, I proposed the idea of trading with them, but I didn't expect..."
Jun Yue's story was well-founded, especially when it involved Laudeno. Even Zuo Lengchan was tempted.
He didn't know if Jun Yue was telling the truth. After all, Lao De Nuo was a spy sent by him. The others didn't die, but Lao De Nuo died. This made him feel that Jun Yue was testing him.
"If that's the case, Junior Brother Yue, are you willing to come with me to meet the Iron Sword Chief Constable? I'm willing to vouch for you!”
Staring at Jun Yue, Zuo Lengchan's eyes were also filled with a sense of coercion, but Jun Yue just smiled and said,"
"Since Zuo Shixiong is willing to vouch for me, I naturally believe him.”
Hearing Jun Yue's words, Zuo Lengchan looked at Jun Yue in surprise. He didn't expect Jun Yue to be so straightforward.
After all, the two of them were like two tigers on the same mountain. It would be unbelievable if he didn't plot against Jun Yue.
Along the way, Jun Yue didn't hide anything. He told them everything about how Mount Hua and the White Lotus Society sneaked into Mount Hua. Other than killing Laudeno and turning the Nine Dragon Jade Pendant into the ancient bronze mirror, everything was flawless. Even Zuo Lengchan, who was a wily old fox, believed 90% of his words, and only 10% of his words were due to his fear of Jun Yue.
When they arrived at Dragon Gate Grotto, a group of people from the yamen were carrying the Golden Buddha statues outside the cave. The leader was a burly middle-aged man. He was Pang Fei, the head of Luoyang's headquarters, who was known as the Iron Sword Constable.
"Alliance Master Zuo, this is…"
Pang Fei soon saw Zuo Lenchan's arrival. At the same time, he looked at the young man with Zuo Lenchan. His temperament was not inferior to Zuo Lenchan's at all.
"This is the Huashan Gentleman Sword, Junior Brother Yue. This matter is related to Junior Brother Yue. If I'm not wrong, this Golden Buddha statue that was split into two should be from my Junior Brother Yue's hands!”
Zuo Lengchan looked at Jun Yue in surprise. He could not believe that Jun Yue had split the Golden Buddha into two with just one sword strike.
Jun Yue's strength had already reached such a level. The golden Buddha statue must have just been split open, and it was brand new, especially the words on it. He had seen Jun Yue's handwriting before, and it was definitely Jun Yue's handwriting.
"I wasn't happy about being tricked by the White Lotus Society, so I slashed the Golden Buddha statue in half.”
What was that?
Except for Zuo Lengchan, the other yamen officials looked at Jun Yue in horror and quickly surrounded him.
This was an important criminal. Originally, they had found the gold but could not find the thief. They did not expect the thief to come to their door.
"Stand down. Sect Master Yue is known as the Noble Sword in the pugilistic world and is the leader of the righteous path. Moreover, if it's related to Sect Master Yue, why would Sect Master Yue return? There is only one purpose for coming back, and that is to silence him. Even if we attack him together, we are still no match for Sect Leader Yue!”
Zuo Lenchan's eyes gleamed coldly when he heard the words " chief of the righteous path."
However, Pang Fei didn't notice the change in Zuo Lengchan's emotions. Instead, he was looking at Jun Yue. He knew Jun Yue's name, and he knew that if Jun Yue was really the gold thief, he could have killed all of them just now, and there was no need for him to come back. Besides, he also heard something else. It was the White Lotus Society.
"Sect Leader Yue, you mentioned the White Lotus Society. Could it be that this matter is really related to the White Lotus Society?”
"That's right. I came here this time mainly to settle a grudge with the White Lotus Society. I didn't know that their gold was in the treasury. Moreover, your government kept it a secret. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen for their trick.”
Hearing Jun Yue's complaints, the yamen people knew that they had recovered the stolen money. Jun Yue could be considered a treasure. It was worth at least 100,000 taels of gold.
"I wonder if Sect Leader Yue can explain it clearly?”
"Yes!"
Jun Yue told Iron Sword Pang Fei exactly what he told Zuo Lengchan. When he heard that Jun Yue had the sacred relic of the White Lotus Society and had even killed several masters of the White Lotus Society, his eyes lit up.
He knew that Jun Yue's words must have some basis. At the same time, he secretly felt that there was a huge conspiracy behind this. It was definitely not something that he, the chief constable of Luoyang, could be sure of.
After all, according to Jun Yue, wasn't the White Lotus Society's aim this time to deal with Jun Yue?
They could imagine that if that was the case, even though the government had destroyed Mount Hua, Jun Yue would still be able to split the Golden Buddha statues with a single sword strike. At that time, the government would have another bayonet on their heads.
"I wonder who passed the message to Sect Leader Yue. Sect Leader Yue must have come into contact with the White Lotus Society in Chang 'an, right?”
" That's right. I've come into contact with the White Lotus Society. You might not know this person. Although he didn't see me with his true face at that time, I couldn't hide it from my eyes because I've seen his true identity. He's the magistrate of Chang 'an!”
What was that?
The prefect of Chang 'an, a fourth-grade official!
Moreover, this was not a simple fourth-grade official. One had to know what kind of place Chang An was. Even if it was not a capital city, it was still a major city.
Jun Yue sneered. Since the White Lotus Society thought that they couldn't do anything to them if they hid, he would just make them lose a general. After all, this was a high-ranking official of a territory.
No matter what position that person had in the White Lotus Society, dragging down a follower of the magistrate, and the magistrate of Chang 'an, was definitely enough to hurt the other party.
One had to know that once a magistrate, the highest ranking officer of a region, started a rebellion, he would definitely be of more help to the White Lotus Society than 100,000 followers.
"Is what Sect Master Yue said true?"
