In the afternoon, Duan Zhaonan came to see him again.

From the other party's mouth, Lin Zhong learned about what happened at Ruyimen's main martial arts hall.

"Alliance leader, should we continue the investigation?"

Duan Zhaonan sat upright, only half of his butt dared to touch.

"Do you know the identities of those masked guests?" Lin Zhong asked without answering.

"One of them, named Yue Shan, comes from the Yue family, a famous martial arts family in the north."

Duan Zhaonan lowered his head and said: "The other six people have changed their body shape and appearance, and have hidden their breath and skills, so their identities are temporarily unknown."

He did not express his guess.

Because in front of your immediate boss, any unfounded guess is risking your future.

If you guess right, everything is easy to say, but if you guess wrong, it will be suspected of "cheating the king".

Lin Zhong asked again: "How did Ruyi Sect react after the incident?"

"Shortly after the gym kicking incident ended, they closed down the entire martial arts gym."

Duan Zhaonan replied respectfully: "According to reliable information, its leader Xi Muwei has fallen into a coma and is dying. Currently, the senior sister Lin Wan and the inner hall elder Ye Xiaomei are jointly in charge."

"Have they asked the Martial Alliance for help?"

"......No."

Duan Zhaonan glanced at Lin Zhong secretly: "However, my subordinates believe that there are many strange things about this matter. If ignored, it may have serious consequences."

Lin Zhong remained calm: "What?

What are the serious consequences?”

"Ruyi Sect is the only secluded sect in the southern province and is also the leader of the martial arts world. Due to their gentle and neutral style of life, the southern province has generally remained stable, and no large-scale bloody conflicts have ever broken out."

Duan Zhaonan carefully considered his words and said carefully: "Although the identities of those who kicked the gym are unknown, their purpose is very simple. They are to damage the reputation of Ruyi Sect and disturb the hearts of the martial arts circles in the southern provinces."

"Furthermore, my subordinates suspect that there may be a deeper conspiracy behind this incident. After all, eight powerful men who have achieved great strength cannot be organized casually by any force."

"That makes sense."

Lin Jian nodded: "What are you going to do next?"

Duan Zhaonan took a deep breath and straightened his back: "My subordinates intend to continue the investigation. Regardless of whether the Ruyi Sect asks for help or not, the Martial Alliance's responsibilities must be fulfilled."

"Can."

Lin Zhong nodded slightly: "Just go ahead and do it."

"yes!"

Duan Zhaonan suddenly felt happy and quickly stood up to salute.

With Lin Zhong's approval, he doesn't need to worry about anything in the future.

"As Chief Duan said, it is definitely not something ordinary forces can do to organize eight famous and powerful people, and have them wear masks and change their body shapes."

Lin Zhong's tone was calm: "Perhaps this is the work of Zhenwu Sect and Wuji Sect. They have this ability and this

motivation."

Seeing Lin Zhong infer the mastermind behind just a few words, Duan Zhaonan couldn't help but admire him: "The leader of the alliance is wise, and my subordinates think the same as you."

"In two days, I am going to convene the senior leaders of the league to hold a training meeting in Yunchuan City."

Lin Zhong looked at Duan Zhaonan's face and said with a smile: "Master Duan, please do a good job in reception and confidentiality to avoid causing unwarranted speculations from the outside world."

"Training meeting?"

When Duan Zhaonan heard this familiar yet unfamiliar term, his face showed confusion: "Leader, can you please tell me what the training content is?"

"The top-level combat power of the Martial Alliance is too scarce."

Lin Zhong did not hide anything: "In order to cope with the next challenge, I want to teach you some cultivation experience to help you improve your strength as soon as possible."

Duan Zhaonan's eyes lit up.

Although he could still maintain his composure on the surface, his heart was already turbulent.

"My subordinate understands."

Duan Zhaonan patted his chest and said resolutely: "Please rest assured, I promise to do everything possible and never let you down!"

"If there's nothing else, you can go."

Lin Zhong raised his hand to signal.

"I have one last thing to report to you."

"speak."

"Regarding who was using public opinion to spread rumors to smear you some time ago, after intensive investigation, we have now locked in

Target."

Duan Zhaonan said with a serious face: "We originally planned to arrest him immediately, but the incident at Ruyimen Zongwu Hall happened again. My subordinates are worried that the two incidents are related, so I want to ask you whether you want to arrest him immediately.

Should we live with each other, or should we continue to play the long game and catch big fish?"

"There should be no connection between the two incidents."

Lin Chong thought for a moment and gave the answer: "You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to do things one by one. Since you have locked the target, don't delay. The longer you delay, the easier it is for things to happen."

"As you command!"

Duan Zhaonan stood up and said loudly: "As soon as my subordinates return, we will make arrangements to arrest them!"

****

Southern Province, Yongchang City.

Whooping Crane Faction Headquarters.

This is a new sect that has only emerged in the past ten years.

Although its background is shallow and its history is short, its skills are profound. After more than ten years of expansion and annexation, it has firmly occupied the top spot in Yongchang City's martial arts world and ranked among the medium-sized sects.

What few people know is that the Minghe Sect is actually a pawn planted by the Zhenwu Sect in the southern provinces.

Decades ago, the once extremely powerful Jade Crane Sect was wiped out overnight, and most of the martial arts classics fell into the hands of the Zhenwu Sect, except for the Zhen sect's technique of Capturing the Dragon and Controlling the Crane.

The Zhenwu Sect screened and integrated those martial arts and created a new skill, which is the core inheritance of the Minghe Sect: Heming Jiuxiao Gong.

crane

The Ming Jiuxiao Kung Fu was born out of the Dragon Capturing and Crane Control Kung Fu. Although it is much weaker than the latter, it is still a top-notch magical skill in the world of Yanhuang martial arts.

Then, the Zhenwu Sect handed over the Heming Jiuxiao Gong to a small sect that was unknown at the time, and secretly transferred a large amount of resources to help it develop rapidly.

With the support of the Zhenwu Sect, the Minghe Sect was like riding a rocket. In just a dozen years, it had completed a road that would have taken other sects at least a hundred years to complete.

As for the relationship between the Zhenwu Sect and the Minghe Sect, no one except a very few high-ranking sects knows about it.

In recent days, Xie Changhe, the leader of the Minghe Sect, has been a little uneasy.

He has a gentle personality and is good at sociability. He usually has no airs about being a leader. He always has a refreshing smile on his face and is very loved by his disciples.

But starting from the past few days, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

Instead, there was an indescribable complex emotion.

Be stoic and don't approach strangers.

The disciples were uneasy and couldn't figure out what happened to the leader.

Xie Changhe noticed the change in the atmosphere within the faction, but was too lazy to waste energy explaining it.

That night, Xie Changhe was instructing his true disciples to practice Kung Fu, when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The knock on the door was polite, neither fast nor slow, nor light nor heavy.
