After Xie Xuan left Mengjin Town, a large group of people came to Mengjin Tavern. They were wearing different colors of clothes and obviously came from different forces. However, their actions were surprisingly similar. Each of them held a portrait in their hands and asked the passersby if they had seen this person before.
A burly man in a blue suit grabbed a middle-aged man selling vegetables by the roadside and asked,"Hey, have you seen this person before?”
The middle-aged man panicked for a moment. These people were ferocious and obviously not to be trifled with. He looked at the portrait. On the portrait was a handsome young man with a long knife on his back. A figure riding on a horse appeared in his mind.
"Sir, I know. That person is heading towards Mengjin Tavern. Please let me go!”The vegetable seller said in a pleading tone.
"Humph!" When the burly man received the news, he snorted coldly and let go of the uncle. Then, he quickly ran forward and came in front of a man and said,"Sect Master, I found out that the person went to Meng Jin Tavern.”
This person was dressed in purple and had long hair that reached his shoulders. His face was as cold as ice and there was a faint maliciousness in his eyes. One could tell at a glance that he was a vicious person. This person was the leader of the Heavenly Eagle Gang under Peerless City and was known as Leng Tian of the Cold Eagle in the Jianghu.
"Alright, looks like we've gotten there first. Let's go to Mengjin Tavern!”Leng Tian led dozens of sect members and strode forward.
……
At this moment, in Mengjin Tavern, Sister Tao had been feeling uneasy since Xie Xuan left. She called over a subordinate and asked,"Go and investigate immediately. Who is that young man?”
A subordinate hurriedly went down to look for information. Lu Qing, the accountant of the tavern, asked,"Sister Tao, it's just a young man. Why are you so uneasy?”
Her words were filled with ridicule. Lu Qing thought that his Lady Boss had fallen in love with that youth.
Sister Tao was extremely experienced in Jianghu. How could she not know the meaning of Lu Qing's words? She gently knocked Lu Qing with the pipe and pretended to be angry."What are you thinking about? I just feel that there's something strange about this kid.”
"Sister Tao, I found him. That kid is really not simple.”Meng Jin Tavern was indeed the information exchange center. It only took the subordinate a short while to obtain some information from the others. He wrote it down on a piece of paper and handed it to Sister Tao.
Sister Tao opened the piece of paper and saw a few words written on it: Xie Xuan was a member of the Heavenly Frost Hall of the World Guild. He had joined the sect less than a month ago and was sent down the mountain by Qin Shuang to carry out a mission. Unknown martial strength, good at using knives. A few days ago, he defeated Hu Lang, the leader of the Sirius Gang, and wiped out all of them.
"This kid is a minion of the World Association? But how could an ordinary lackey defeat Hu Lang of the Sirius Gang? The difference in levels was too great, and did this mean that the World Association and Peerless City were going to start a war?”
She was very experienced in Jianghu. She knew all the information about the various forces in Jianghu like the back of her hand. As long as it was a person with a little reputation, she could recite it like the back of her hand.
She knew that Hu Lang was quite skilled in martial arts. Although many people in the world could kill him, Xie Xuan was not one of them. Moreover, he was only a teenager. It was too shocking for him to have such strength.
"Da da!" Just as Sister Tao's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, dozens of figures suddenly surged into the tavern's door. They were burly and carried a thick killing intent. Clearly, they were not to be trifled with.
Sister Tao looked at the person in the lead and thought to herself,'Oh no, why is Leng Ying of the Heavenly Eagle Gang here? He's a fierce general under Dugu Yifang of Peerless City. Not only is his Eagle Claw Technique superb, but he's also extremely intelligent.'
Seeing that they had come with ill intentions, Sister Tao went forward and said,"Aiyo, isn't this Gang Leader Leng? What brings you here? Please sit down.”
Even though the faction behind Meng Jin Tavern was not weak, it paled in comparison to Peerless City. After all, it was one of the big shots in the Chinese server's martial arts world. They could not afford to offend it.?
"Is this Sister Tao from Mengjin Tavern? I've heard a lot about you. I'm here today to look for someone. Don't be nervous.”Leng Tian didn't make any small talk and directly expressed his purpose of coming.
"I wonder who Sect Leader Leng is looking for?”Sister Tao's heart skipped a beat, and she cursed in her heart.
Leng Tian waved his hand, and one of his subordinates opened a portrait of Xie Xuan.
"I'm looking for this person. I wonder if it's convenient for sister Tao to tell me and provide some information.”
Sister Tao knew that things were not good. Leng Tian was obviously going to declare his stance. Xie Xuan was a member of the World Association. If she spoke up now, she would definitely offend the World Association. However, if she didn't speak up, Leng Tian would definitely not let it go so easily.
Leng Tian pulled out an exquisite dagger from his waist and played with it in his hand. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Sister Tao as if he was saying, If you don't tell me, you can think about the consequences yourself.
Sister Tao naturally understood the intention behind this. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She gritted her teeth and decided that a wise man would not eat the loss in front of him. Even if she offended the World Association, it would be a matter of the future. The matter at hand was more important.
"Sect Leader Leng, this person once bought a map to the China Pavilion from me. He should be heading towards the China Pavilion now. The only place on the map is the Mengjin Ferry, which is 40 miles away from here.”
Sister Tao took out the piece of paper from before and handed it to Leng Tian."This is the information on that person. He is an ordinary lackey of the World Association.”
"Oh?" Leng Tian raised his eyebrows. The order he received only stated that this person was from the World Association. He thought that he was a hall master or vice hall master. He didn't expect that he was just an ordinary minion. This made him feel like he was using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.
Leng Tian put the paper away and cupped his hands at Sister Tao."Thank you, Sister Tao. We'll be leaving now. This is the reward.”
Leng Tian handed over a few silver notes, totaling up to 300 taels. Then, he turned around and left with his sect members, leaving Sister Tao and the others looking at each other. They thought that Xie Xuan had really broken the sky, to actually attract so many people to surround him.
Leng Tian walked out of Mengjin Tavern and said to his subordinates,""Immediately send a pigeon to the Black Turtle Gang and ask them to block the waterway. The other gangs will bring their elite troops. We must succeed in this battle. As long as we capture this person and present him to the City Lord, it will be a great merit!”
"Yes, sir! This subordinate will do it immediately!" A few subordinates quickly went forward to pass on the information.
"The rest of you, get on your horses and follow me! Go!" Leng Tian brought dozens of gang members and quickly left.
A huge net was spreading out, and there was only one target: Xie Xuan!
