Chapter 89 Integrity
"A report just came from the city that Wang Weiwu is dead. It is said that he invited Prince Zhou to dinner yesterday, but somehow he was discovered this morning and has been assassinated by villains."
The scout said, his heart pounding.
Bang!
Li Ba was furious and slammed his fist on the table.
"Who did this?!"
Wang Ba was equally enraged, even more so than Li Ba.
Who on earth dared to kill his distant cousin? More importantly, it was he who instructed Wang Weiwu to properly entertain Zhou Xianzong.
But apart from this incident, no one could bear to think about it.
"Sect Master, we haven't been able to find out who did it yet. What we can confirm is that Wang Weiwu was with Prince Zhou and his six lovers yesterday."
"Qingyang Sect, you are determined to start a war with me."
Li Badan roared inwardly.
"Pass down the order to immediately summon the disciples of the Enforcement Hall and bring Xiao Potian here. I want to ask him personally what exactly happened last night."
"yes!"
In a short time, the Overlord Body Sect dispatched five top disciples of the Enforcement Hall, along with an elder of the Enforcement Hall, to Tianwu City.
This is enough to show how serious they are.
The Overlord Body Sect was the sect furthest from Tianwu City, but even so, it took the six of them less than an hour to arrive in Tianwu City.
And they located Wang Weiwu's residence immediately.
At this moment, Zhou Xianzong was lazily reclining on a stone chair, eating the fruit that Xiao Hong had prepared for him.
Swish swish swish!
The first thing the elder of the Enforcement Hall did upon arriving at the residence was to have Zhou Xianzong surrounded in the center.
He clenched his fists, clearly nervous, and said to Zhou Xianzong.
“Crown Prince Zhou, you must know the purpose of our visit. I have come under orders and have no choice but to invite you to the Overlord Body Sect. If this is a misunderstanding, I am willing to kneel down and apologize.”
“I know why you’ve come, but I definitely didn’t kill the person. To prove my innocence, I’ll come with you.”
Zhou Xianzong said calmly.
He was secretly overjoyed; the arrival of the Overlord Body Sect had truly come at the right time.
I've been waiting for ages, and they've finally arrived.
Come on, I won't resist, just grab me and take me back.
According to the plot, he was supposed to have a long chat with the old man.
But Zhou Xianzong felt that he would have to go to the Overlord Body Sect sooner or later anyway.
Get this done quickly so he can come back.
The elder of the Enforcement Hall was also a little confused.
What the hell is going on?
They came with us so easily?
He originally thought Zhou Xianzong would refuse, but he didn't expect him to be so cooperative.
This surprised him a bit.
The others were also stunned.
I never expected Zhou Xianzong to be so easy to talk to; this is completely different from what people outside have said.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go."
Zhou Xianzong urged him on, sounding somewhat displeased.
Damn it, you've got Alzheimer's, your reactions are so slow.
I don't know what Li Badan was thinking, sending an old man like you over here. It's really troublesome.
"Okay, let's go now."
The elder in charge of law enforcement was reprimanded and came to his senses.
He didn't dare to actually tie Zhou Xianzong up, but instead had his men surround Zhou Xianzong from both sides, just to make it look like a show.
Soon, the group arrived at the Overlord Body Sect. The Enforcement Elder left him in a side room, had several Enforcement Disciples guard the room, and then went to report back to Li Badan.
At the same time, the news that the Overlord Sect had taken away Zhou Xianzong swept through the entire Tianwu City like a whirlwind.
The major sects and families also learned about it.
Many people are discussing how Li Badan is really stubborn, actually arresting Zhou Xianzong.
Putting aside what will happen to the Zhou Dynasty, the Qingyang Sect alone will not be able to tolerate it.
"Sigh, do you think the Qingyang Sect will really fight the Ba Ti Sect? After all, they took away Zhou Xianzong."
Inside a restaurant, the crowd was buzzing with discussion.
Xiao Potian listened to the discussion and found it quite enjoyable.
snort.
You good-for-nothings probably don't know this, but it was all my doing.
To deal with that brainless good-for-nothing Zhou Xianzong, I only need to exert a little force to make him suffer unbearably.
Anyway, he really admires his masterpiece.
This tactic of using someone else to do the dirty work is something probably no one in the entire Tianwu City would do.
Xiao Potian was very pleased with himself, and he seemed a little arrogant.
He said it in a flippant manner.
"You're overthinking it. What is Zhou Xianzong anyway? Does he deserve the entire Qingyang Sect to fight for him? You're giving him far too much credit."
These words shocked everyone.
I wondered who this guy was, talking so arrogantly.
Bang!
Immediately, a group of people at a table not far from Xiao Potian slapped his hand hard and shouted angrily.
"Where did this brat come from, daring to speak so arrogantly? You have quite the nerve!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Potian's expression darkened, and he looked at the person who had spoken.
He was a large, burly man with a token bearing the character "Zhou" hanging from his waist.
Without a doubt, even if this person was not from the Zhou Dynasty, he was still related to the Zhou Dynasty.
In fact, Xiao Potian's guess was correct.
This person was from the Treasure Pavilion, specifically responsible for transporting the medicinal herbs that the Treasure Pavilion sold to the Zhou Dynasty.
The token was used for entering and leaving the Zhou Dynasty.
Despite his burly and unassuming appearance, he is actually quite powerful.
Mo Wu originally only asked him to escort her, which made him very happy.
The fact that such a cushy job fell to him alone was enough to show how much Mo Wu valued him, and he thought his days of rising to prominence had come.
To his utter dismay, Mo Wu had read his diary a few days ago and then sent a few more people, which made him feel quite aggrieved.
Now that he heard someone insulting Zhou Xianzong, he naturally stood up immediately to defend him, just to curry favor later.
Who do you think you are?!
Xiao Potian said disdainfully, showing that he didn't take people seriously at all.
They can be as wild as they want.
"Are you looking for death?!"
The man was furious and stood up to attack.
At this moment, the shopkeeper came out and quickly stopped the two sides.
"Esteemed guests, this is a place to eat. If you want to fight, please go outside."
"Kid, you're lucky you stepped in dog poop today. Someone stopped you, otherwise I would have torn your dog mouth apart."
The man cursed and shouted angrily.
This enraged Xiao Potian, and his murderous intent towards the man intensified.
But he knew this wasn't the place to start a fight, so he paid for his meal and left.
The Overlord Body Sect.
Inside the main hall, Li Badan looked at the law enforcement elder with some surprise.
"You brought him back so quickly?"
"Didn't you tell me to get things done quickly, Sect Master? As soon as I received the order, I set off immediately. It took a lot of effort to bring Zhou Xianzong back."
The elder in charge of law enforcement nodded.
Upon hearing this, Li Badan felt a pang of pain in his groin.
He was so angry that he had almost lost his mind.
My anger has subsided considerably, and I've had a lot to think about.
He brought Zhou Xianzong back not for any particular purpose, but simply to save face.
As the saying goes, people fight for a breath of air, and even Buddhas fight for a stick of incense. The envoy of the Overlord Body Sect was killed.
If he doesn't react, how will others view him, and what will they think of the Overlord Body Sect?
More importantly, what would his disciples think? They would definitely think he was too cowardly and useless.
Sending someone to arrest someone is one thing; whether or not they succeed is another.
At least he took action, which showed his integrity and made the world understand that he was definitely a sect leader who cared about his disciples.
He hadn't expected Zhou Xianzong to actually come, but now things are fine.
When the person arrived, he really didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to use torture or anything like that.
This is just too damn frustrating.
