The huge Jiangnan Martial Arts Association headquarters was already empty.
Even the door was closed, creating a lifeless scene.
Occasionally, people passing by opened their eyes in confusion when they saw this scene.
I don’t know what happened to make the martial arts association in the city that was so lively in the past turn into what it is now.
The very few insiders are also very secretive about this.
“I’m sorry, Brother Shi, I really can’t help with this matter.”
In the office on the second floor, a middle-aged man looked at Shi Tao with a hint of apology in his eyes.
This person is the city lord of Jiangnan City and a level A awakener.
“Brother Yang, you don’t have to feel embarrassed, because the whole thing has nothing to do with you. I’m very satisfied that you can come over at this time.”
Shi Tao said with a smile.
"Yeah yeah."
Chang Fei and the others on the side also nodded.
Ordinary people naturally have no idea what is happening here.
But those with a little bit of influence in the city could find out about it, and therefore, everyone wanted to disassociate themselves from the association, let alone come and have a look.
As the lord of Jiangnan City, Yang Yi came here at this time. If word got out and people from the Song family and the Fuxing Association knew about it, there was no guarantee that he would not be targeted in the future.
That’s why they were extremely moved in their hearts.
"well."
Yang Yi sighed, then slapped the table in front of him and said angrily: "These people from the Feng Kingdom are simply lawless. They are so arrogant in our land of the Yan Kingdom. How can it be so unreasonable!"
"The reason for this is not because of the gift of some people in the Presbyterian Church." Chang Fei said bitterly: "It is precisely because there are families like the Song family and these Feng people that they are arrogant and domineering and do not treat us Yan people. Put it in your eyes.”
After the words fell, Yang Yi's ears moved slightly and he asked tentatively: "Do you think it will be effective if we make this matter bigger and force the Presbyterian Council to come forward?"
"this?"
Shi Tao and others looked at each other.
"City Master Yang, in fact, this idea has not been discussed, but I think the possibility is very small." Shen Shen shook his head and said: "The reason why people from the Feng Kingdom are able to cross the ocean and set foot on our Yan Kingdom's land is precisely thanks to the Presbyterian Council , not to mention that our martial arts association is naturally the enemy of the family, and they cannot help us. "
“How about giving it a try?”
Yang Yi is determined not to give up.
"The relationship between the Presbyterian Church and the Revival Church is good, but once this matter gets bigger, everyone in the Yan Kingdom will know about it. They always have to take care of their face. If they let the Revival Church kill you, wouldn't it be a shame for everyone? Heart?"
Chang Fei and the others couldn't help but look at Shi Tao.
What City Lord Yang said does seem to make some sense.
They are here, waiting to die anyway.
How about treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor and give it a try?
Shi Tao was also a little moved in his heart.
At this moment, the phone nearby rang.
The room instantly became quiet.
Yang Yi also quickly closed his mouth, not daring to make a sound.
“Hello, who is that?”
Chang Fei answered the phone.
In the past two days, some people have also called to inquire.
Of course, it’s just an expression of concern and sympathy, and they all understand.
“Is it the headquarters of the Jiangnancheng Martial Arts Association?”
A cold male voice sounded.
"Yes you are?"
Chang Fei frowned and turned on the speakerphone at the same time, so that other people in the office could also hear the conversation.
In addition, his intuition told him that the tone of the person who called was hostile.
“My surname is Xu, you can call me Director Xu.” the other party said.
“Director Xu?”
Chang Fei became even more confused.
Shi Tao’s expression changed slightly.
Think of something.
“Where is the president of your association?” Director Xu asked.
“Just, right here.”
Chang Fei hesitated and said.
“Okay, then ask him to come and answer the phone.”
Chang Fei looked over.
The thoughtful people on the side couldn't help but feel nervous.
Shi Tao came over and said, "I am Shi Tao. What can I do for you?"
"Shi Tao, you are so brave. You dare to kill people from the Fuxing Association in broad daylight and imprison the Song family. Do you really think that no one in this world can deal with you, do you?"
As the words fell, anger surged in the hearts of several people in the room.
Shi Tao stretched out his palm to signal several people to be silent.
Because he already knows who this Director Xu is.
“Director Xu, this is not what you think, but...”
“I didn’t call you to hear you say this.”
The other party directly interrupted Shi Tao and asked: "Where is Chen Fan? Is he here too?"
“Chen Fan, he’s not here.”
“Not there? Then where did he go?”
"I am not sure as well."
Shi Tao shook his head.
Don’t say he really doesn’t know.
Even if it is clear, it will not be said.
“Not sure?”
Obviously, the other party did not believe it, "You are the president of the association, but you don't know where your subordinates are? How did you become the president? Okay, I am too lazy to talk nonsense to you. Anything related to this matter People, you have only half a day to rush to the Baijiang City Presbyterian Church building and wait for your resignation. If you are late, you will be responsible for the consequences. Do you understand me?"
“What! Baijiang City Presbyterian Church Building!”
“Presbyterian!”
“He is a Presbyterian!”
When Chang Fei and others heard this, they immediately understood the identity of Director Xu.
He was actually sent by the Presbyterian Church. No wonder he was so arrogant.
Yang Yi was also on the side, with a look of shock on his face.
He listened to the conversation just now without missing a word.
The Presbyterian Church actually asked Shi Tao and others to go to Baijiang City to wait for their fate?
This does not sound like a good word.
Could it be said that the Presbyterian Church really wants to deal with Shi Tao and the others to vent their anger on the Revival Church?
“Director Xu, the people of Feng Country were at fault in this matter.”
Shi Tao said in a deep voice.
"I said, I called you not to hear what you said, but to inform you that we will arrive at Baijiang City within half a day."
Director Xu’s tone left no room for doubt.
“If you feel you have been wronged, the elders will give you a satisfactory explanation after you come here, do you understand?”
Shi Tao was silent.
He is not a three-year-old child. When you arrive on someone else’s territory, it’s not up to them to decide whether it’s straight or crooked.
“What, you are not convinced?”
Director Xu was keenly aware of this, smiled contemptuously, and said: "It's useless if you don't believe it. No one who has the courage to go against the Presbyterian Church will have a good end. If you don't believe in this evil, you can give it a try."
“Director Xu, that’s not what I meant, I...”
"okay."
Director Xu interrupted again, "Anyway, I have brought you the message. If you are not seen in Baijiang City tonight, humph, I have warned you anyway. It is your business to listen or not."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
The already depressing atmosphere in the room became even more intense, making people almost breathless.
The mood of despair spread in the hearts of several people.
They thought they were only facing the Song family and the Fuxing Association.
Even these two forces made them feel desperate.
Unexpectedly, even the Presbyterian Council sent an ultimatum.
What are the consequences for offending the Presbyterian Church? It is estimated that there will be no place for them in the entire Yan Kingdom from now on.
Yang Yi sat aside and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
All fools know that if Shi Tao and the others go there, there will definitely be no good end.
Because Director Xu didn’t even have the patience to communicate properly on the phone.
But if you don’t go, the consequences will only be worse.
“Brother Yang, please go back first. Thank you for taking such a big risk to come see us.” Shi Tao smiled.
“Brother Shi, I...”
Yang Yi was about to speak but stopped.
Shi Tao nodded, indicating that he understood.
“Oh, brother Shi, I wish you good luck.”
Yang Yi stood up and took a deep look at everyone. Not surprisingly, this was the last time they saw each other.
After Yang Yi left, several people in the room looked at each other.
“President, what should I do?”
Someone asked: "Do you really want to listen to Director Xu and rush to Baijiang City within half a day?"
“If you go, there won’t be any good results, right?”
The other person shrank his neck.
Not only the Presbyterian Church, but also the Song Family and the Fuxing Association were all in Baijiang City.
Perhaps, the Song family and people from the revival meeting are waiting there right now.
Will the Presbyterians ignore the words of the revivalists with whom they have better relations and listen to them?
I'm afraid that once I leave, they will be condemned.
“It’s death regardless of whether it’s going away or not. What’s the difference?”
Chang Fei snorted coldly:
“If you don’t go, you can die here with more dignity. If you go, I don’t know if you will die in that dark corner.”
"good."
Shi Tao nodded slightly, "Since they are coming, let them come. It's just that there are a few more people than expected."
He has taken life and death lightly.
Just thinking about it, the beast tide is not far outside the city.
Yet they are still fighting among themselves here, and there is an indescribable desolation in their hearts.
"Yeah, it's all about death anyway, there's nothing to be afraid of. It's just that the call from the Elder Council was really unexpected. I think it's better for us to tell Chen Fan and Mr. Wang about this, so as not to I didn't know the situation, but I came over and were killed by those people," Shen Shen said.
“Well, I’ll give him a call and have a look.”
at the same time.
Baijiang City, Fuxing Meeting.
In the conference room, a group of blond-haired and blue-eyed Maple people sat.
There were several figures with black hair and black eyes mixed in there.
One of them is the former head of the Song family, Song Lianfeng.
The other few are a little unfamiliar, but as soon as the leader opens his mouth, his identity is readily apparent.
“President Kate,”
Director Xu bent over slightly, gently holding the hand of the tall white man in front of him with both hands, and said with a flattering smile: "You also heard the phone call just now. I have already conveyed the message to the elders to the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association. The highest will of the meeting, I believe they will be here within a few hours. At that time, you have the final say on how to deal with them. "
“No, Xu.”
Kate was not too happy, but asked: "What if these people don't come? There is an old saying in your country of Yan, which is that people are like knives and fish, and I am like fish and meat. They are not fools. They know that if they come here, nothing will happen to them." The result will not come."
"Mr. Kate, it doesn't matter if they don't come."
Director Xu smiled slightly, as if he was sure of victory.
"I have warned them that if they don't come, they will be responsible for the consequences. Of course, if they really don't come, then tomorrow morning, our Presbyterian Church will send people to go to Jiangnan City with you to arrest a few people. The result will be the same. of."
"Um."
Kate nodded, "That's not bad."
“Hehehe.”
Director Xu smiled flatteringly and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Kate, we have always regarded the revival meeting as a top priority. The five elders are also paying close attention to this matter. We are deeply sorry for Mr. Carl's death, but this We will definitely give everyone in the revival meeting a satisfactory answer.”
The people in the Feng country in the conference room all nodded when they heard this.
“Xu, there is one more thing.”
Kate glanced at Song Lianfeng and said, "Mr. Song said before that there is a force secretly targeting our revival meeting and killing John of the Larson family. It is that force that has been planning for a long time. I don't know if there is such a thing. thing."
As soon as the words fell, the people around Fengguo became nervous again.
In fact, after Karl's death, they had no intention of approaching the Presbyterian Council. They only wanted to approach the Song family and blackmail them severely. It would be best to eat the entire Song family to pieces.
But what Song Lianfeng said when he arrived immediately frightened them.
They know that there are too many people secretly unhappy with them.
Had it not been for the protection of the Presbyterian Church, they would have been exterminated long ago.
But now there are people who are ignoring the Presbyterian Church behind them and taking action against them. How can they not panic?
“That’s nonsense!”
Director Xu glared at Song Lianfeng fiercely, and said with a sinister tone: "Some people, for the sake of their own family, do not hesitate to make alarmist remarks. Mr. Kate, and everyone in the revival meeting, please rest assured that there is absolutely no deliberate intention in our Yan Kingdom." There are forces targeting you!”
“You can’t say that.”
Song Lianfeng, who had been silent all this time, said quietly: "As far as I know, the Awakened Association has been dissatisfied with the revival meeting for more than a day or two."
Hearing this, the Fengguo people in the room turned pale with fright.
"Song Lianfeng, what do you mean by this? Do you want to sow discord?" Director Xu shouted angrily.
Several people behind him also glared at Song Lianfeng.
Song Lianfeng was not afraid at all and looked directly at them.
“If what I said is wrong, why are you so nervous?”
Song family. We have reached the edge of life and death.
The consequences of saying this will be discussed after the Song family can get out of this crisis.
“Nervous, what are you nervous about?”
Director Xu narrowed his eyes, "Song Lianfeng, as the former head of the Song family, you should know what can and cannot be said. What happened just now will be reported to the five elders truthfully when I return."
"what ever."
After Song Lianfeng finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.
His purpose has been achieved anyway, so there is no point in staying.
