An Ultimate Martial Art

"Haha, Brother Zhongzheng, I finally understand. "So you were saying that you met a respected person, but it turns out to be like this."    

The elderly customer suddenly burst out laughing, an expression on his face that made me understand everything.    

Old Village Head Wang Zhongzheng was a bit confused. He already knew what was going on. He didn't seem to have said anything about the Celestial Gate. What could Wang Lu and Wang Lu possibly understand?    

Without waiting for Wang Zhongzheng to react.    

The elderly guest was already envious, "Aiya, I really envy you, brother. There are actually two young men in the village that the Martial Arts Sect has set their sights on, and they coincidentally came back at the most dangerous time to save your Wang Family Village. If there were such a fellow in our village, I would laugh out loud in my dreams. "    

Old Village Head Wang Zhong was looking at this old guest. He had obviously imagined that two young men of the Wang Family Village would be chosen by the Martial Arts Sect as disciples and would grow up to return home in glory after studying. He had coincidentally seen the Wang Family Village in danger and was about to step in to save him, but he suddenly did not know what to say.    

But now that he thought about it, although this wasn't the case, the nature of the situation wasn't that far off. It was just that the matter was ten or a hundred times more exaggerated than the old customer's own imagination.    

"Heh heh."    

The old elder let out a hollow laugh. "Aiya, why are we all gathered here? Let's hurry back to the village and take our seats. When all the guests have arrived, it's time for us to begin."    

The guests then returned to their seats in the village.    

This time, the guests became even more excited, and the topic of discussion started from why the Wang Family Village had suddenly become so rich, to why the two young men of the Wang Family Village had joined a large sect.    

In the midst of this discussion, the guests arrived as promised.    

Not long after, the 180 brand-new square tables that Wang Family Village had prepared seemed to be filled with seats. In actuality, almost one thousand and eight hundred guests had arrived, pushing Wang Family Village's original elation to a new high.    

The welcoming party had ended at the village entrance.    

Old Village Chief Wang Zhong brought Wang Xianyang to the middle of the guests.    

"My friends and relatives, how are you? Thank you very much for coming all the way to participate in the Wang Family Village's Village Chief's successor ceremony."    

Wang Zhongzheng's voice was filled with vigor the moment he opened his mouth. His voice was as if it could shake a mountain. It was effortless, but it could clearly be heard by everyone and they could even faintly feel their eardrums reverberating.    

Bada Bada.    

For nearly a quarter of an hour, Wang Zhong said a long sentence that came from the bottom of his heart. He jumped up from the abyss of despair with a feeling of excitement and regret, as if he had just escaped from a chaotic world.    

It deeply touched the hearts of everyone present.    

The world was difficult, but the chaotic world was more difficult.    

Amongst the guests that were invited, not a single one of them came from a wealthy family. They were like an old dog that had gone all out in this chaotic world to protect their little family, lingering on from death and suffering for an unending period of time.    

Everyone could understand the sentiments that Wang Zhong had said, because it was something that they had always dreamed of.    

"Alright, this old bones of mine has said too much. Everyone must be ridiculing me." In front of his close friends and relatives, he could be considered to have invited them as witnesses. In the future, Wang Xianyang would be the village chief of Wang Family Village. "If anything is amiss, I hope that all my relatives and friends will be able to correct me."    

The Old Village Chief looked at the crowd and then shot Wang Xianyang a look.    

Wang Xianyang immediately understood and stepped forward to the old elder's position, "My close friends, I am Wang Xianyang, thank you so much for coming here today."    

"Ha ha-ha ha ha. It was just a run-down mountain village, yet a run-down village chief had taken over the show. Those who didn't know this would think it was a First Pin Imperial Court official returning home in glory to entertain his neighbors!    

Suddenly —    

A sharp laughter resounded in the sky.    

At the entrance of the village, a large group of soldiers dressed in Xia Xi City's battle uniform charged into Wang Family Village like a pack of wolves and tigers. There were at least four to five hundred people lined up in a large square formation.    

Behind them was an eight-sided palanquin, on the left and right of the palanquin were seventeen or eighteen warriors besides Xue Qian and the Flaming Cloud Swordsman Xiao Hong Zhuang. Judging from their sharp gazes and their bulging temples, their steps were steady and strong.    

Generally, the specially trained soldiers were far from being their match.    

Wang Family Village citizens' expressions changed one after another.    

He felt quite annoyed.    

They had expected that the Wang Family Village's banquet would attract bandits, but they didn't expect that even the Old Master of the Western Xia City would come, and looking at his posture, it was obvious that the Old Master of the Western Xia City had not come with good intentions.    

Some of the hot-tempered citizens of Wang Family Village could not help but step forward and shout: "What are you guys doing? What method has our Wang Family Village committed? What are you trying to do with so many soldiers who have come to our village?"    

As a mountain village under the jurisdiction of the Western Xia City, the Wang Family Village had no good impression of the Western Xia City Lord's mansion. From a certain point of view, they were even more disgusted with the Lord of Western Xia than with the bandits.    

The reason was simple.    

A bandit was a bandit after all. Who would have heard that a bandit who didn't kill or rob would do something good?    

However, the Western Xia City Lord was different. He was the City Lord, and his duty was to be kind to the people under his jurisdiction and protect their condition and safety. However, this fellow was incomparably greedy. It was one thing for him to not be safe, but to think of all sorts of ways to plunder the ointment. Sometimes, his methods are even more vicious than bandits.    

As a result, in the eyes of many villagers, the Western Xia City Lord was no different from a bandit. The bandit was blatantly using a knife and telling them to kill if they didn't pay. Meanwhile, the Western Xia City Lord had wrapped the blade in a layer of cloth so that no one could see the edge of the blade.    

"How dare you, you countryside boy. Do you know who it is that dares to be so impudent just by coming here? Kneel down immediately! "    

Xue Qian fully brought out the function of a kennel strategist, using his sharp voice to shout loudly, and it was extremely ear-piercing. But the soldiers in formation immediately reacted, they all unsheathed their blades, the blades all pointed at the Wang Family Village citizens, a wave of killing intent that was tempered on the battlefield gushed out like a storm.    

Many customers were so scared that their hairs stood on end and their faces turned pale. Cold sweat poured down their bodies like rain.    

"Brother Zhongzheng, quickly speak up. Quickly tell that fellow not to be impulsive. "Xia Xi City's great master is not comparable to those bandits from the Blood Cloud Village. We ordinary commoners cannot afford to offend him …"    

"That's right, loyal old brother. Our Wang Family Village finally had such a difficult time in this situation. We can't let our impulses kill us!"    

The old customer secretly grabbed the old Village Head's sleeve with an anxious expression.    

The old Village Chief smiled and said, "Don't worry, it will be fine."    

"What do you mean 'loyal old bro'? You better not be fooled. The bandits would bully the weak and fear the strong. If they ran away, they wouldn't dare to come back. "But these are the guards of the Western Xia City Lord. Rushing against them is the same as bumping into the imperial government. We can't afford to take the blame!"    

The old village chief did not say anything and only looked at Wang Xianyang. What he meant was, "You are the village chief now, so you settle this issue."    

Wang Xianyang nodded his head, of course he wouldn't allow it, and took a step forward.    

"Stop! This humble one, Wang Xianyang, is the village chief of Wang Family Village. I pay my respects to all the lords of Western Xia City and I do not know of your arrival.    

"Forgive? Do you know that the person inside the palanquin is the Mayor himself? How dare a mere country bumpkin roar at the City Lord's palanquin? Do you not have the laws or the imperial court in your eyes? "    

With a wave of his hand, he ordered: "Men, arrest these two villagers."    

In the blink of an eye.    

The four guards immediately jumped out with their blades at their waists, the light on their blades was cold, like wolves or tigers, two of them pounced towards Wang Xianyang, and the two of them rushed towards the Wang Family Village citizens who could not help but shout just now.    

Wang Xianyang's eyes showed anger, but his body did not change at all. Although he didn't have much combat experience, two ordinary guards couldn't even be considered third-rate fighters, and posed no threat to him at all.    

"You're courting death!"    

When the citizens of Wang Family Village saw that Xue Qian actually dared to attack without saying a word, he became even more furious. He attacked without any hesitation. When he made his move, the palm image became fleeting and illusory, easily sending the two guards flying with a slap. At the same time, his figure quickly leapt up, and also smashed the two guards who were pouncing towards Wang Xianyang, flying away.    

To be able to knock away four guards at the same time with ease.    

This was clearly a martial artist, and an expert at that.    

The Flaming Cloud Swordsman Xiao Hong Zhuang couldn't help but reveal a trace of suspicion on his face. This little mountain village actually had a third-rate martial artist. Moreover, he seemed to be nearing the second-rate peak.    

Xue Qian was even more shocked, there were very few true warriors in this world. This was because the sects and aristocratic families who possessed the secret martial arts manuals were firmly controlling all the cultivation resources. Ordinary people had no access to them at all.    

Logically, a mere Wang Family Village should not have warriors, but it did, and it did not seem simple at all.    

Xue Qian had a feeling that he seemed to have underestimated this Wang Family Village. But when he thought about how he was the City Lord's trusted aide and how he held all of the military and political power in the Western Xia City, let alone a mere warrior, even if there were ten or even a hundred warriors, what could he do?    

After he made up his mind, Xue Qian once again roared with a stern expression, "Presumptuous! This was great insolence! He actually dared to arrest someone for a crime without knowing the crime. "Are you, a bold fanatic, planning to rebel?"    

"Rebel? "What a big hat. Milord, it's best not to speak carelessly of such things." Wang Xianyang said angrily.    

"Shut up!" Just now, that mountain villager dared to injure the Mayor's guard just because he knew some tricks. What was the difference between that and a rebellion? No matter how eloquent you are, you will not escape the punishment of the City Lord today. "    

Xue Qian shouted in a sharp voice, "Everyone listen up, immediately arrest all the villagers of Wang Family Village. If they resist, treat them as traitors and kill them without question!"
