There are fourteen first-class forces in Yunxiao City, which are distributed in different areas. The strength of each force is about the same. They have competed for countless years to form the current structure.
To the west of Yunxiao City, there is an extremely prosperous area, with towering buildings standing above the ground. This area is occupied by a force called Chongxiao Sword Sect.
The Chongxiao Sword Sect is the strongest swordsmanship sect in Yunxiao City. It has existed for more than 400,000 years and has cultivated many powerful swordsmen. Although it has not yet reached the level of a top force, it is already among the first-class forces.
Standing at the top.
At this moment, in a palace of Chongxiao Sword Sect, several middle-aged figures were sitting inside, as if discussing matters.
"Everyone has received the invitation, what do you think?" The middle-aged man sitting on the main seat said. This man is in his forties, with bright eyes and a calm face that gives people a calm and calm look.
He has a feeling of authority and is obviously a superior person.
This middle-aged man is Yang Shao, the leader of Chongxiao Sword Sect.
The three people in front of Yang Shao are also the sect leaders of first-rate forces. In addition to their competitive relationship with the Chongxiao Sword Sect, they also have a special relationship. They are all forces that have good relations with the Lin family.
It is precisely because of this relationship that they are sitting here right now.
Xiao Muyang is the person Lin must kill.
Some time ago, Mrs. Lin gave them a greeting and asked them to find an opportunity to deal with Xiao Muyang. Xiao Muyang made such a big fuss as soon as he came to Yunxiao City and secretly wanted to establish his authority. Naturally, they had to discuss countermeasures and they could not let Xiao Muyang succeed.
"Don't take it too seriously, just find an excuse to decline." A middle-aged man said calmly. This person is the master of the Golden Light Temple, Jin Yan.
"Isn't this too direct? He belongs to the prince." Another middle-aged man said with a frown. Now that the prince has sole power, his words are the law of the world. If the prince is offended, the consequences will be disastrous.
"If you go, you will bow to him, and there is no way to explain it to Mrs. Lin. When Mrs. Lin takes the blame, how do you explain it?" Jin Yan said in a cold tone: "It's just a banquet. Even if we don't go, how can the prince
Will they take action against us? How is this possible?"
"Besides, he held this banquet to show his authority to all forces. The other forces must not be willing to go. As long as we communicate in private and don't go to the banquet, there will be nothing he can do."
Everyone nodded after hearing Jin Yan's words. Everyone stood on the same front, and Xiao Muyang had no chance to establish his authority.
"Then it's decided. We will contact several first-class forces later and agree not to go to the banquet." Yang Shao looked at everyone and said, as long as the first-class forces stand on the same front, the situation in Yunxiao City will be different.
Within their control.
Even if the first-rate forces don't go, the rest of the forces will naturally see the situation clearly.
"Okay." Jin Yan and others nodded, and then left together.
…………
In the Hou Mansion, in a garden, Xiao Muyang, Hua Qianyu, Chu Qingli and others were admiring flowers. At this time, a middle-aged figure came here, it was Jizhuang.
Seeing Ji Zhuang coming, Xiao Muyang asked: "Is the matter done?"
"A total of fifty-three forces have been visited, and the major restaurants have also arranged for people to spread the news. Now everyone in the city knows about it." Ji Zhuang responded.
"Thank you." Xiao Muyang said with a smile: "But there are powerful people who have stated that they will definitely come to the banquet?"
"No." Ji Zhuang shook his head and said, Xiao Muyang still had a smile on his face, as if he had expected this to happen.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local coward. He is not yet a strong dragon. Naturally, those first-rate forces will not take him seriously. As for the second- and third-rate forces, they do not dare to take sides easily in this situation, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
.
"If they don't come, what are you going to do?" Ji Zhuang asked. He knew that Xiao Muyang wanted to take this opportunity to establish his authority, but the prerequisite for establishing his authority was that he had enough strength. If all the forces joined forces to oppose, they would have no choice.
.
"Don't worry, we'll wait until the banquet day." Xiao Muyang said with a smile. He was a little curious about how many forces would come to the banquet.
Seeing that Xiao Muyang was not worried at all, Ji Zhuang stopped talking. He only needed to follow the orders and didn't need to worry about other things.
After Ji Zhuang left, Chu Qingli looked at Xiao Muyang and asked, "How sure are you?"
"It's hard to say. The key depends on how many forces come. If there are very few forces coming, this method will not work. We can only think of other methods." Xiao Muyang replied.
Chu Qingli nodded slightly. This matter was very difficult. Xiao Muyang had just come to Yunxiao City and had no foundation. Even if he failed this time, it was understandable. There would be another chance in the future.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
A grand banquet was held in the Hou Mansion. Xiao Muyang sat at the front seat, and Ji Zhuang stood beside him.
Xiao Muyang's face was indifferent, and he sat there quietly waiting for others to arrive.
After half an hour, a middle-aged figure finally arrived. He looked at Xiao Muyang and slightly cupped his hands: "Master Xuanyue Sect has met Xiao Hou."
"Please take a seat." Xiao Muyang said with a smile, looking very easy-going. At this time, Ji Zhuang sent a message to him: "Xuan Yue Sect is a second-rate force."
Xiao Muyang felt calm in his heart, it was good that the second-rate forces could come.
When the leader of Xuanyue Sect discovered that he had arrived alone, his heart suddenly sank a little. However, it was too late to regret it now and he could only adapt to circumstances.
Then the leader of Xuanyue Sect remained silent and didn't say a word. Xiao Muyang knew what he was thinking and didn't speak, waiting for the next person to arrive.
After a while, several more figures came one after another. They were worried that Xiao Muyang would be resentful if they didn't come, so they took the risk and came over. However, after seeing those figures at the banquet, they all felt regret in their hearts.
But after coming, leaving now will definitely offend Xiao Muyang, so he can only stay here. I hope Xiao Muyang will not make excessive demands, otherwise they will have no choice but to fall out.
Compared with Xiao Muyang, they are more afraid of those first-rate forces.
Unknowingly, two hours passed, and only a dozen people arrived, all of them were sect masters from second- and third-rate forces. None of the sect masters from first-rate forces came.
The powerful men looked at Xiao Muyang. In such a situation, he should have retreated.
At this moment, I saw four middle-aged figures walking towards me from one direction. When they saw those four figures, a look of shock flashed across the eyes of the powerful men. They were actually here.
Xiao Muyang also looked at the four figures, his eyes couldn't help but condense, and he faintly felt a powerful aura from them. These four people must have a lot of background.
Soon, the four middle-aged figures came to the banquet, looked directly at Xiao Muyang, and said at the same time: "I have met Xiao Hou."
Although he called Xiao Muyang Xiaohou, there was not much awe in his tone, and he did not salute. He seemed very casual.
Xiao Muyang didn't care about their attitudes and asked: "What forces do the four come from?"
"Palace Master of Qimu Palace, Mu Heng."
"The leader of the Hunyuan Sect, Zhuge Qing."
"The master of Taixuan Hall, Qi Xiu."
"The owner of Xunfeng Tower, Feng Wuji."
Xiao Muyang's expression condensed slightly after hearing these voices, and then another voice came into his mind: "They are all first-rate forces."
This voice naturally came from Ji Zhuang.
I saw a bright smile on Xiao Muyang's face, and he seemed to be in a very happy mood. Four first-rate sect masters came to the banquet, and the situation was much better than he expected.
