Chapter 56 Everyone in the Exquisite Pavilion

This Chu Chouli and Ye Hongjian must have known each other a long time ago.

Xu Han understood this very well.

Although he did not know why he suddenly appeared here, he did not understand why Ye Hongjian insisted on taking Chu Chou away to the Exquisite Pavilion.

However, no matter what, since the Ye Clan had gone to the battlefield of the Tiance Prefecture , there was no possibility that Ye Hongjian would harm him. At least for a short period of time, she had no reason to do so.

As for his purpose, Xu Han didn't care. He only wanted to go to the Exquisite Pavilion, repair his meridians, and refine his demon arm. This was the most important thing for him right now.

Thus, the three of them set off.

However, they did not take the initiative to set off. They were beaten out of Xingsheng Town by the old aunt next door that Chu Chouli spoke of with a broom.

That old hen was stolen by Chu Chouli with great effort…

Xingsheng Town was located at the foot of Linglong Pavilion's mountain gate, only fifty kilometers away from Linglong Pavilion.

The three of them were able to withstand it in less than a day because they were intentionally taking care of Xu Han's unhealed body.

Xu Han had been unconscious for a whole day and night. According to his previous assumptions, Tong Tiexin and the others should be fine. Since those Dark Asura Hall assassins had made up their minds to frame Great Xia Dynasty, then they definitely wouldn't have any life-threatening consequences. At this moment, they should have already returned to Linglong Pavilion first.

However, even though their lives were saved, with the Dark Asura Hall 's style, they would inevitably suffer some hardships.

…

Naturally, Xu Han was right.

However, Tong Tiexin and the others suffered much more than the skin and flesh suffering caused by the Dark Asura Hall assassins.

At this moment, the six of them wore tattered clothes and knelt in a pavilion at the Chongju Peak of the Exquisite Pavilion. They lowered their heads like defeated roosters.

"Tell me about you guys, how can you mess up such an important matter?" A skinny old man with a sheephorn pointed at the six of them and cursed angrily.

This old man was the hall master of the Linglong Pavilion's Sword Hall. He was called Ding Jingcheng . His seniority was extremely high, and his character was harsh and harsh. All the junior disciples were afraid of him. At this moment, under his reprimand, none of Tong Tiexin and the others dared to utter a single rebuttal.

"Where's Ye Hongjian ?" Ding Jingcheng had already scolded for a long time. He pursed his lips and felt a little dry. He sat back on the chair behind him and took a sip of the teacup beside his hand. Then, he looked at the crowd again and asked reproachfully.

Tong Tiexin and the others looked at each other, but none of them dared to answer Ding Jingcheng 's question.

"Speak!" However, how could such a big mess be perfunctorily dealt with by such silence? Ding Jingcheng slammed the table at that time and shouted in astonishment. The strength in his hand was enormous, and under his slapping, the top-grade mahogany table caved in with a palm print.

Everyone was shocked at that time. Tong Tiexin , who was in the lead, hesitated slightly. In the end, he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, that thief came so suddenly that we were unprepared. After a chaotic battle, although we managed to beat the thief back, Junior Sister Ye and Xu Han were nowhere to be found in the end."

"Junior Sister Ye? Is that what you can call her?" Hearing this, Ding Jingcheng frowned. He was quite displeased with Tong Tiexin 's address.

Ye Hongjian was a handpicked disciple of Sikong Bing, but she had never done the proper apprenticeship before. Now, she could only be considered a disciple of the Exquisite Pavilion. However, becoming a personal successor to Si Bang was already a matter of certainty. At that time, not only was her status rising, but also her seniority.

It was reasonable for Tong Tiexin and the others to call them that. However, now that they had lost Ye Hongjian , this was a huge mess. The more Ding Jingcheng looked at them, the more unpleasant it became. Therefore, he seized the opportunity to reprimand them.

"Yes" Tong Tiexin was unable to say anything. He had some thoughts about Ye Hongjian in his heart, and his cultivation could break through to the Netherpassage Realm at any time. At that time, he would be accepted as a direct disciple, and his seniority would be on par with Ye Hongjian. He naturally had no intention of changing his tone. But now that he had made a big mistake and was grabbed by Ding Jingcheng 's painful foot, how could he have the courage to refute it? "By the time we regain our senses, Martial Uncle Ye will have disappeared. I wonder if she was kidnapped or escaped by luck. Just in case, we can only rush back to the mountain gate and report to our masters!"

"Fighting back the thief? Ye Hongjian is nowhere to be found?" Hearing this, Ding Jingcheng let out a cold snort. He looked up and down at the people who were in a sorry state. He didn't believe that since the other party dared to attack under the feet of the Exquisite Pavilion, Tong Tiexin and the others could repel those thieves? Moreover, Ye Hongjian was still missing.

Thinking of this, Ding Jingcheng felt a headache.

That was Sikong Bai's disciple. If the old man knew that his disciple had been lost in front of the Linglong Pavilion and was punished, not to mention the juniors in front of him, even he would probably not have any good fruit to eat.

"What exactly is going on?" At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the room. At that time, figures dressed in brocade robes entered the room. One of them, a middle-aged man dressed in purple robes, asked at that time.

The man was around forty years old, with white eyebrows, black hair, high nose, wide lips, and a dignified aura between his eyebrows.

Seeing him arrive, Ding Jingcheng , who was sitting in the Grand Master's chair, stood up and hurriedly saluted the man. "Greetings, Senior Brother Sect Leader."

This man was none other than Ning Zhumang , the current headmaster of the Exquisite Pavilion.

"Yes." Ning Zhumang obviously didn't care if Ding Jingcheng's etiquette was in place or not. He waved his hand slightly to signal him to tell him what had happened, and the rows of silhouettes in brocade clothes behind him also cast their gazes on Ding Jingcheng at that time.

These people were all big shots in the Linglong Pavilion. Whichever one they pulled out was enough to make Great Zhou's Jianghu tremble. At this moment, they were gathered in this small Sword Hall for a girl who was not even seventeen or eighteen years old. Thinking about it, this scene was somewhat inconceivable.

Of course, Ding Jingcheng didn't have much heart to sigh about this.

He pondered for a moment before telling Ning Zhumang everything.

After hearing this, Ning Zhumang frowned. He looked at the junior disciples who were kneeling in the hall in fear. He sighed and said, "Get up."

Hearing this, Tong Tiexin and the others felt as if they had been granted an amnesty and hurriedly stood up.

Ning Zhumang 's gaze looked at them again, but seeing that their bodies were more or less injured, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"I originally thought that Yuan Guilong would keep watch over the Long Night Division. Zhu Xian would definitely not be able to send out any decent assassins. In addition, the Linglong Pavilion has been busy recently, so I handed this matter over to you juniors. I was unaware of this matter. After you guys go down, go to Xuanhe Peak and get some Jade Pills for your cultivation."

When Tong Tiexin and the others heard this, their bodies trembled. They originally thought that they would inevitably be punished for causing such a big mess, but they didn't want Ning Zhumang to not only not blame them, but also give them medicinal pills to help them cultivate. Even a character like Tong Tiexin was touched by this. Not to mention the innocent people like Luo Yin and Hu Daliang , they immediately cupped their hands towards Ning Zhumang. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were grateful to Ning Zhumang.

"I heard from Junior Brother Ding that those thieves were repelled by you. Have you seen the other party's origins?" Ning Zhumang raised his hand to stop everyone from thanking him and asked.

Tong Tiexin and the others exchanged glances at each other then Luo Yin and Hu Daliang stepped forward and handed over a pair of swords.

"This is?" Ning Zhumang 's eyes narrowed as he took the pair of swords and blades. His gaze immediately darkened.

Everyone present was also quite knowledgeable. Immediately, someone said in a deep voice, "It was the Great Xia Saber and Dagger Sword. The people who ambushed Tong Tiexin and the others were from the Great Xia Dynasty?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the Sword Hall instantly fell silent.

The person who assassinated Ye Hongjian must have some sort of connection with the Great Xia Dynasty, so wouldn't it mean that the Great Xia Dynasty had already started to collude with the Great Xia Dynasty?

If that was the case, it would be bad news for the Great Zhou Imperial Court and Jianghu.

However, Ning Zhumang shook his head in the face of this deduction.

"Not to mention how the assassins of the Great Xia Dynasty silently came to this place in the heart of the Central Plains. It's true. If they wanted to assassinate Ye Hongjian , they would definitely leave no survivors. How could they be repelled by Tie Xin and the others? How could they leave behind swords and blades for us to discover? Isn't it true?"

Ning Zhumang was not underestimated as the head of the Exquisite Pavilion. His vision and thoughts were not something ordinary people could compare to.

"Then according to what senior apprentice-brother Sect Leader has seen, who exactly caused this matter?" Someone from the side asked.

Ning Zhumang shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I haven't figured it out yet, but the most important thing is to find Ye Hongjian. If not, wait until Elder Sikong returns from Lunar Temple and knows that Ye Hongjian is lost in our hands. At that time…"

Obviously, the memories Sikong Bai left behind for the great figures present weren't very good. After hearing Ning Zhumang 's words, the expressions of everyone present became somewhat ugly.

After that, Ning Zhumang began to dispatch the people in the mountain gate, almost ready to use the power of the mountain gate to search for Ye Hongjian 's whereabouts.

Just as everyone received their orders and was about to begin their operation.

"Martial Uncle Ding! Martial Uncle Ding!"

Suddenly, a burst of hurried shouts rang out from outside the room. A youth dressed in hemp clothes rushed in.

The young man was probably just a disciple who had just entered the sword-holding hall. At this moment, he rashly barged into the sword-holding hall. However, when he saw those Martial Uncle generation figures gathered together, his body trembled and he was stunned on the spot for a moment.

"What is it! How dare you act rashly!" Ye Hongjian had such a thing. In the final analysis, it was because of the improper arrangement of the Sword Hall. Although Ning Zhumang did not intend to punish him, Dante Jingcheng still felt embarrassed in his heart. Now that this disciple had suddenly barged in, he had found an outlet to vent his anger. He immediately berated him.

The young disciple was stunned at first, but now that he had been berated by Ding Jingcheng , he was even more confused. He wanted to retreat, but he felt that it was inappropriate. He was at a loss for what to do and was in a dilemma.

"No problem, do you have anything to report?" Ning Zhumang knew that his junior apprentice-brother had always loved face, so he didn't expose it. Instead, he looked at the disciple and asked in a soft voice.

Perhaps it was because Ning Zhumang had really comforted him that the disciple hesitated for a moment before he panted heavily and replied.

"There are three people from outside the mountain gate. One of them claims to be Ye Hongjian ."
