Having grown up in this village, Yi Yao knew exactly where the dog holes were.
Therefore, as soon as she returned to the manor, she quietly went to several guest rooms, but she didn't see the three people at all.
In order not to waste time, Yi Yao thought about going to her sister's room first, maybe she could find some clues left by her sister. What happened to her father and fellow apprentices? Who were those strange outsiders?
“Found it!”
Lifting the quilt in front of the bed and opening the compartment under the bed, Yi Yao immediately saw the hand-written note left by her sister. This was a habit unique to the two sisters.
Jiang Li looked out through the crack in the window and saw that the patrolling disciples had all gone to other places. He quickly waved to Yi Yao, and then the two of them quietly sneaked into the night again.
The next morning.
As it was approaching noon, a disciple came and led everyone to Wanchao Pavilion.
Jiang Li saw Yi Hongyi standing outside the door of Wanchao Pavilion from a distance. As the host of this sect conference, Yi Hongyi had changed his usual gentle demeanor today. He wore a red and black robe, and behind him were a group of disciples in plain robes, which made him look even more proud.
"Dr. He, how was your sleep last night?"
When he saw Jiang Li, Yi Hongyi immediately bowed and greeted her. This action was seen by others as a sign of closeness between the two.
Jiang Li smiled, "It's worthy of being the best manor in the world. Even though I only rested here for one night, I felt refreshed. What a great place, it really is!"
"Hahahaha—" This obvious flattery made Yi Hongyi laugh heartily, "As expected of a miracle doctor. In this beautiful place, I finally met a soulmate! Hahahaha... Miracle doctor, please!"
Wanchao Pavilion is the main room of the No. 1 Manor in the World. The roof is decorated with golden lacquer dragons and glazed phoenixes, which is very imposing.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is only one main throne above the main seat, as if to deliberately highlight its noble status. Below the main seat, there are nearly ten thrones on the left and right sides, which are obviously used by the heads of various major sects.
As for the disciples, according to the rules, they need to stand in order behind their corresponding positions.
As a disciple of the "Medicine King Valley" who came from afar, Jiang Li was directly invited to a seat near the main seat.
After the other sects took their seats one by one, Yi Hongyi clapped his hands, and the disciples of the First Village brought out the prepared tea, fruits and melons one by one.
Immediately, the sound of drums and music began to be heard from behind the screen against the wall.
When everyone was puzzled, another group of disciples from the First Village came in, each holding a sword, and danced to the rhythm of the drum. As their moves changed, the swords and tassels combined hardness and softness, showing their heroic spirit.
"It's neither fish nor fowl." Jiang Zhong sneered at the sight and couldn't help but spit softly behind Jiang Li.
Jiang Li glanced at Yi Hongyi, who was sitting at the main seat, and smiled. It seemed that Yi Hongyi had put a lot of thought into today's Hongmen Banquet.
It is called a sect conference, but in fact it is just an excuse to gather the sects within hundreds of miles, either for a martial arts competition or to announce some important matters. Scenes like today's have left other sects a little confused.
When the sword dance ended, someone finally couldn't help it.
"Master Yi, since this is a sect conference, why are you imitating the style of those celebrities and nobles?"
The person who spoke was the leader of the Tiansha Sect. He had a bald head, a dark face and a murderous look.
Yi Hongyi chuckled lightly twice, "Master Kui, I haven't seen you for a few years and you are still so anxious."
Seeing everyone staring at him, Yi Hongyi didn't beat around the bush. "Actually, I asked you all to come here today because I have something important to discuss with you."
As they were talking, Jiang Li saw Yi Yao's senior brother and another person carrying a wooden frame over. After it landed, everyone could see clearly that what was hung on it was actually the map of Daning.
"Everyone, please look." Yi Hongyi stood up and pointed at the border around the map. "Although Da Ning is enjoying good weather and good harvests these days, there are always many people around who covet it. As children of the martial arts world, we have the responsibility to uphold justice and protect our country. Therefore, I propose that we form a martial arts alliance from today. If Da Ning is ever in trouble, we can all work together to help the court save the people. What do you think?"
In everyone's past impression, since Yi Hongyi succeeded as the owner of the No. 1 Manor in the World, the overall strength of the No. 1 Manor has been completely inferior to before, especially in the many martial arts conferences in the past few years, the results have always been at the bottom, and in recent years there have been some signs of retreat.
No one expected Yi Hongyi to say such words today, which made everyone present look at him with admiration.
"Master Yi is indeed a chivalrous and heroic man. I admire him!"
"Yeah, that's a good suggestion! I've been fed up with those Japanese bastards for a long time!"
"That's right! The imperial court is a regular army, and we are unofficial. If we unite, no one will dare to bully Daning again!"
“…”
In an instant, people started talking.
Even Jiang Zhong was surprised and asked, "Is this true? What's this old fox up to?"
Jiang Li shook her head, signaling him not to worry. According to Yi Yao, if Yi Hongyi had already cooperated with those people to protect the country? Oh, rebellion is possible.
As expected, just as Jiang Li had thought, when everyone expressed their agreement, Yi Hongyi said again: "Since that's the case, let's officially establish the Wulin Alliance today. As for the leader..."
Looking at everyone, Yi Hongyi smiled and said, "I will take charge. From now on, everyone must obey my orders. Let's protect our home and country together!"
"etc!"
Hearing this, the Tiansha Sect's leader stood up again and said coldly, "I have no objection to forming a martial arts alliance, but the leader position is definitely not yours, Master Yi, right?"
There was obvious sarcasm in his tone, and suddenly, there was silence in the Wanchao Pavilion.
"Master Kui's words make sense. My Nan Dou Sect won the last martial arts competition. As for the position of alliance leader, I think..."
As the man was speaking, Jiang Li saw Yi Hongyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eye sockets gradually began to turn red, until all the veins on the back of his right hand were prominent. The next moment, he heard a "bang".
The person who was speaking was hit by Yi Hongyi's palm in the air before he could finish his words, and he was hit directly on the door frame and never got up again.
"Master!" The Nandou Sect disciples rushed over, but the person on the ground had died in an instant.
Everyone: “!!!”
"I am the owner of this village and I will be the leader of this alliance. Does anyone have any objections?"
The smile from before was gone, and Yi Hongyi's eyes were red, like a lion ready to go crazy at any moment.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent. Even the leader of the Tiansha Sect sat down in his seat with a stern face and said nothing more.
"Since you have no objection, come and take the leaders to dinner."
After saying that, Yi Hongyi waved his sleeves and left first.
"Sister, what is that?"
Jiang Zhong still couldn't believe that there was actually someone who could kill a martial arts master with just one move.
Jiang Li walked up to the leader of the Nan Dou Sect, took his pulse, and found out that his tendons and veins were all broken, and even the Golden Immortal would be powerless to save him.
Shaking his head towards the Nandou Sect disciples, Jiang Li did not linger any longer and hurriedly took Jiang Chong and Mo Qi back to Linshan Pavilion.
