Eternal Sword

Chapter 523 Whoever Wins Stands
All the big and small forces in the martial arts world gathered at this martial arts conference, and almost everyone who received an invitation from Zuixianlou came.

At a glance, the flags representing the major sects were fluttering in the wind, and below was a sea of ​​people, densely packed with perhaps several thousand people.

To the entire world, it seems that there are not many people.

But in fact, most of these people who came were the backbones of various forces and major sects, and well-known masters and elites.

At the end of the crowd, there were about ten people gathered together. Their clothes were old-fashioned and they didn’t look like gangsters.

There are old men with gray hair and beards, old women leaning on crutches, fat people with bloated bodies, and old ladies peeling peanuts without stopping...

There was also a strong man who was very tall. Even when he was squatting on the ground, he was a head taller than the person next to him.

Among the crowd stood a girl with delicate features, wearing two buns and with a rosy face, looking very cute.

At this moment, the girl was standing on tiptoe, looking into the crowd, as if looking for something.

"Didn't you see that?"

An old man with a clear face, dressed in plain cloth and with a willow branch on his waist turned around and asked.

“There are too many people to see inside.”

The girl shook her head and spoke softly, her voice a little hoarse.

"You'll see it sooner or later, not now."

The thin old man spoke in a calm tone.

The girl raised her head slightly and said nothing, but there was a hint of loss between her brows.

"Old Liu, the kid wants to see Chen Tang, why don't you care at all?"

The old woman next to her noticed the girl's expression, frowned, and said something unhappily.

Then, the old woman looked at the big man squatting next to her and said to the girl, "Go, sit on your uncle Tie's neck and let him hold you up and look for it."

"This……"

The girl hesitated.

The sturdy man grinned at the girl, patted his broad shoulders and motioned for the girl to sit on it.

The thin old man frowned and said, "There are several masters ahead, be careful and don't get discovered."

"It's okay, just take a look."

The sturdy man said in a muffled voice, and seeing that the girl was embarrassed, he stepped forward, lifted her up, and placed her steadily on his neck before standing up.

The sturdy man had dark skin and was over nine feet tall. He looked like an iron tower when he stood there.

At this moment, he was holding up the young girl, and had an excellent view. He could see the crowd in front of him clearly.

The girl glanced over to the Bashan Sword Sect and soon spotted a middle-aged man.

That human skin mask could deceive others, but not her.

"Uncle Tie, I found it."

The girl quickly patted the sturdy man beneath her.

The sturdy man understood and immediately bent down and put the gentle girl down.

The thin old man couldn't bear to watch it, and snorted: "Just spoil her, this child is not without legs!"

"Hey."

The peanut lady curled her lips and said, "Who can be as spoiled as you? In the past six months, I haven't taken care of the chrysanthemums or trimmed the willow branches. I just hang around her all day. This time, you were afraid that something might happen to her, so you dragged us all here."

"You guys, you stay in the valley all day, guarding your one-third acre of land, you are useless!"

The thin old man didn't blush, his heart didn't beat, he glanced at the fat man beside him, and said righteously: "Look at Old Jia, he has become so fat, let's not call him Fatty Jia anymore, just change his surname to Zhen!"

Several people burst into laughter.

Fatty Jia was teased by the thin old man, but he still smiled and didn't care. There was a lot of noise in front, and the few of them were chatting in the back, and no one paid attention.

The girl laughed a few times, but she was not in high spirits and seemed to be worried about something.

The thin old man saw the girl's worry and said, "Don't worry, today's scene is almost entirely controlled by those masters. Not to mention Chen Tang, even the leaders of those second- and third-rate forces don't have much chance to speak."

"In everyone's mind, Chen Tang is already a dead man. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to jump out, no one will notice him."

Mrs. Peanut pulled the girl and asked, "Little girl, stop thinking about it. Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry."

The girl shook her head.

The peanut lady said, "If you are hungry, eat a few peanuts to fill your stomach."

Girl: "..."

The peanut lady peeled a peanut, threw one into her mouth, and skillfully stuffed the other into the girl's mouth, saying, "Why don't we just barge in openly and tell it all."

"Anyway, we have the evidence in hand. We can confront the drunkard in public and make it clear what is right and what is wrong."

The strong man said, "I think it's okay. Since everyone is here, it's a good opportunity to let the world see their true faces."

"You guys are oversimplifying things."

The thin old man changed his joking attitude and looked a little serious. He said, "That drunkard has been planning for many years, forming alliances, using coercion and inducement, and the situation today is already set. The fact that the story of the Drunken Eight Immortals had no effect on him before is a testament to this."

"Even if we lay out the truth before them, are these people really willing to stand on our side?"

Everyone was silent.

Many people in front of him, who had drunk the Drunken Eight Immortals and heard the previous rumors, must have realized the truth.

But even so, after so much time, no one has stood up to denounce Zui Weng.

Even the master of Yaowang Valley personally testified for Zui Weng.

The thin old man said, "Some of them have already fallen into the Drunkard's trap and are unable to extricate themselves. They have long lost their minds. Some, either out of consideration for their personal relationships, or because they have received great favors from the drunkard, or because they have leverage over him, have no way out."

“And some people only believe what they want to believe.”

"Don't forget, we have the Hidden Doctor on our side, and they have the Medicine King to testify for him."

The old woman next to him paused with her cane and said sternly, "Don't be afraid of them. At worst, we can just have a fight!"

"We are not weak in fighting."

The thin old man said, "But once the situation gets out of control and a fight breaks out, there will be countless casualties. After all, these are all masters in the Nanxia martial arts world. If a river of blood flows, the Nanxia martial arts world will probably never recover."

"Although we haven't been involved in martial arts for many years, we don't want to see the Nanxia martial arts world decline. I'm sure the old Pavilion Master can't bear to see this scene."

Aunt Peanut asked, "What are we waiting for here?"

The thin old man said, "We are waiting for news from the other side. It should be soon."

"Nothing's going to go wrong there, is it?"

The old woman frowned and said, "I heard that not only did the Dongyi tribe come, but even Donglaizhou had Yuanying strongmen coming to support us."

"It should be fine."

The thin old man said: "Jian Pavilion has been planning for today's battle for many years, just to deal a heavy blow to Xuantian Sect in one fell swoop."

Aunt Peanut was still puzzled and asked, "Even if they win a great victory and the news gets through, will these people repent and distinguish right from wrong?"

"Some people are not really unable to distinguish right from wrong. They know it clearly in their minds. They just stand on the side of whoever wins."

The thin old man said calmly: "If they see that the situation is hopeless, many of them will know what to do."
