Both Chen Dingbang and Xu Tong knew that it would be impossible to stay in the Pan family to successfully complete the property handover today.
It would be unwise to confront two martial arts masters head-on.
All the work these days has been in vain.
This doesn't matter, as long as people live and keep the green hills, they don't have to worry about running out of firewood.
Wait until Li Muchen comes out of confinement, and then settle the score with them.
But if Lang Yuwen is detained by them, the consequences will be difficult to predict.
Chen Dingbang and Xu Tong were both aware of the grievances between Lang Yuwen and Jiangdong's wealthy families. Ni Huaiqi's purpose of keeping Lang Yuwen was also obvious.
They also knew how much Li Muchen valued Lang Yuwen. At this stage, Lang Yuwen was Li Muchen's arm and his military advisor.
If something happened to Lang Yuwen in Longcheng, neither Xu Tong nor Chen Dingbang would be ashamed to see Li Muchen again.
"No!" Xu Tong said immediately, "I brought them here, and I must bring them back safely."
Chen Dingbang also said: "Yes, why don't you let them go?"
Ni Huaiqi sneered: "Why? Why did they commit murder in Dragon City! If the Pan family leader is dead, our Shangwu Alliance will naturally punish the murderers severely."
Xu Tong and Chen Dingbang were speechless for a moment. This reason could not be refuted.
Lang Yuwen was from the Pan family who came with Li Muchen, and Ma Shan charged into the battle and was the first one to break in. Many people in the Pan family can prove it.
"I know that they are just accomplices, and the real culprit is at large. But he can't escape. When we find out the truth, we will arrest the culprit, bring him to justice, and avenge the Pan family head!" Ni Huaiqi said.
Hou Kuidong glanced at Chen Dingbang and Xu Tong coldly: "You are also accomplices, right?"
Xu Tong frowned and quickly thought about the next strategy.
The purpose of these two people is very clear, they are here to capture Lang Yuwen. It seems that the eight wealthy families have joined forces again.
"Two Grandmasters, do you think this is okay? Come back with us first. Our two families are the guarantees, so you don't have to worry about them running away, right? This matter involves personal grudges and is not a simple violation of the Pan family.
I will apply for arbitration from the league."
Xu Tong gave in. According to his opinion, arbitration takes time. After the arbitration is over, Li Muchen should be released no matter what.
Looking at the whole of East China, the Chen and Xu families are well-known wealthy families. With this kind of reputation, it is enough to bail two people out.
Unexpectedly, Ni Huaiqi directly refused.
"Impossible! Someone died in the Pan family, and the head of the family died. It's impossible for me to let him go. As for arbitration, you can apply for it. But let me tell you, before coming here, the Martial Arts Association has already held a meeting.
The Supreme Court has passed a resolution that the Pan family's matter complies with the provisions of the mutual protection treaty and requires the Martial Arts Association to come forward. If you apply for arbitration, there will be no results."
Xu Tong felt a chill in his heart.
He knew that if what Ni Huaiqi said was true and the association had already held a meeting and passed a resolution, then it would be of no use.
All members of the association must abide by the resolutions passed by the martial arts association. This means that the masters in six provinces and one city in East China will side with Ni Huaiqi, including Zhu Xiaoyuan and Huangfuxian.
This is troublesome!
Xu Tong always felt that something was wrong.
When did they hold the meeting? Why did they pass the resolution so quickly?
Logically speaking, it is impossible for this kind of thing to come out without rumors, and it should not be hidden from him and Chen Dingbang.
Are there any other forces behind this?
But no matter what, he cannot retreat and must keep Lang Yuwen.
"What if I have to take him away?" Xu Tong's eyes widened, like a tiger opening its eyes.
"You can try!" Ni Huaiqi looked at him and refused to give in.
At this time, I suddenly heard a loud laugh.
"Hahahaha, grandpa comes when he wants to come and leaves when he wants to, no one can care about him!"
It was Mashan who spoke.
He held his head high and walked out.
He was stopped by several disciples brought by Hou Kuidong.
The two sides started fighting.
These are the elites of the Huaying Martial Arts School, Hou Kuidong's favorite students. Their Kung Fu foundation is much deeper than that of Mashan.
But Mashan studied ancient martial arts, and his internal training methods were completely different from ordinary martial arts, and Yu was even more elusive with every step he took.
In addition, this time I came to Longcheng, went to Maoshan, made rapid progress, and got Li Muchen's elixir to regulate me, it was the time when my true energy was abundant.
Several of Hou Kuidong's apprentices were unable to stop him for a moment and were beaten up by him.
"Guwu?!" Hou Kuidong, as a grandmaster, still has some discernment, "What is your relationship with Grandmaster Zhu?"
As far as he knew, no matter Jiangdong or Nanjiang, only the Jinling Zhu family inherited ancient martial arts. And in the entire Zhu family, only Zhu Xiaoyuan had truly mastered it. Even Zhu Xiaoyuan's favorite disciple Bai Fuming, although he had entered the master realm, had not practiced it.
But it's not Gu Wu.
Ni Huaiqi also frowned. If Mashan had anything to do with the Zhu family, this person would be difficult to deal with.
"What a pig, sheep, cow, etc., your grandfather's surname is Ma, he is Ma Lao, hahahaha!"
After hearing this, Hou Kuidong felt relieved. As long as he had nothing to do with Zhu Xiaoyuan, he wouldn't worry.
"Ignorant fanatic, do you know that a grandmaster cannot be insulted? If you dare to make fun of Grandmaster Zhu, you are seeking death!"
After saying that, he suddenly took a step forward, stopped his disciple, stretched out a palm, and slapped Ma Shan on the chest.
It is certainly no small matter for the Grandmaster to take action.
Xu Tong and Chen Dingbang both secretly said something was wrong.
Ma Shan was not afraid at all, he still stepped forward, trying to avoid the palm and strike back with a punch.
However, no matter how fast his kung fu progresses, he is still far from being a master.
Fortunately, Yu Bu was magical and his body was like a ghost. Even Hou Kuidong almost missed it. But how could Hou Kuidong's master's method make this move go in vain? If he had to use a second move on a small character like Ma Shan, then what would happen?
The Martial Arts Association can no longer hold its head high.
He slapped his palm out, and suddenly he saw the ghost of Mashan moving, and he had already avoided it. He didn't close his palm, but just swayed slightly and swept across it.
At this time, Ma Shan had no choice but to fight with his fists.
His fist hit the arm that Hou Kuidong swept over.
I just heard a crunching sound.
Mashan's fist shattered.
This force went up his arm to his shoulder, and his entire right arm softened like noodles. It looked like the arm bones had been shattered.
Mashan stood there, his arms hanging down, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, his teeth chattering, but he didn't say a word.
Hou Kuidong failed to kill the person with one move. He felt that he had lost face in front of his apprentice and Ni Huaiqi, and his face looked a little ugly, so he was about to take action again.
Suddenly I heard a voice saying: "Stop!"
I saw an elegant middle-aged man next to Xu Tong take a step forward.
"Mr. Luo, are you sure?" Xu Tong asked quietly with concern.
Luo Dongfu smiled slightly: "Master Xu treats me well. If I don't go out to fight now, how much better?"
After that, he lightly dusted the Chinese gown on his body.
Suddenly, a burst of awe-inspiring energy burst out from his body.
