Chapter 98 Night talk in the inn
The dim firelight was swaying in the thick silence. The inn was very quiet. The fire emitted a faint warmth and the flames crackled. In this almost suffocatingly quiet space, every explosion was particularly abrupt.

The waiter was still wondering why so many people, all heroes of the martial arts world, were so quiet and no one was talking.

But the shopkeeper standing next to him had turned pale and his body began to tremble slightly unconsciously.

Unlike the waiter who was young and experienced, he was not a man of the world, but he had been running the business at Fengming Ferry for many years and was well-informed. How could he not realize that this was the calm before the storm?

He knew very well that these heroes in the martial arts world would fight and kill without any scruples if they disagreed with each other. Although it was painful to have things broken, it was better than losing his life here. However, he wanted to leave but did not dare to. In such a quiet place, if he left for no reason, it would be too conspicuous. Those people in the martial arts world all had quirks in their personalities. If his attention was attracted, he might get into trouble.

At this moment,
Suddenly, a light voice came from the corner: "Boss, go to the kitchen and heat a pot of wine for me. The waiter will serve the dishes. The wine must be hot and the dishes must be fresh. I'm not in a hurry, and you don't have to worry either!"

In an instant, everyone in the inn looked towards the corner, where three people were sitting, two men and one woman. Their faces were not clearly visible in the dim corner, and one could only tell whether they were male or female.

this moment,
The shopkeeper finally knew the real cause of today's trouble. He also understood the hidden meaning behind the words of the young man in the corner. He knew that the young man was giving him and the waiter a chance to stay away. A feeling of gratitude rose in his heart.

"Sir, please wait a moment!"

Immediately, the shopkeeper grabbed the waiter and dragged the bewildered waiter out of the lobby.

And at this moment,
The lobby was still quiet.
The cold wind was howling and a suffocating silence filled the inn.

Only the blazing fire occasionally made a crackling sound, and the dancing flames were reflected on everyone's faces. There was an eerie silence. The cold wind outside the door blew in some snowflakes. There were many figures, and there were people outside the door, but it was hard to tell how many there were.

suddenly,
A tall, burly middle-aged man broke the silence and said, "Have you ever heard of Blind Gu, the surgeon at Linjiang?"

Someone immediately chimed in, "Of course I haven't heard of him. He's known as Yunzhou's number one assassin. He hates evil with a vengeance, and no wanted criminal can escape his pursuit."

"hey-hey,"

Beside the burly man stood a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion, resembling a scholar. His body was gaunt, with prominent cheekbones and sunken eyes, a look of excessive indulgence. He slumped over the table, holding a glass of wine, and said, "Are you kidding me, sir? How can someone as sinister and despicable as Gu Mo be called someone who hates evil? Isn't he the greatest evil?"

"Please give me some advice!" said a Taoist priest carrying a sword on his back.

The scholar took a sip of wine, slowly stood up and said, "Are there any good people left in the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult? Can those who colluded with Yang Qingtong, the father-killer and traitor, be called righteous and hate evil?

The head of the Wutong sect, Liu, led thirty-three of his disciples to participate in the martial arts conference. By chance, they met the evil villain Yang Qingtong who killed his father and betrayed his faith. They wanted to eliminate this scourge for the righteous martial arts world, but they happened to meet the blind man Gu.

In the past, that Blind Gu was a well-known hero, and Sect Leader Liu had no doubts about him and welcomed him warmly. But unexpectedly, that Blind Gu ruthlessly killed them all. Of the thirty-four members of the Wutong Sect, only two managed to escape with their lives. Thirty-two of his fellow martial artists were killed. Isn't that Blind Gu evil enough?"

The Taoist monk with the sword on his back slammed the table and said, "Evil, indeed evil, a traitor seeking fame and fortune!"

"No, no," the scholar continued, "The Xinyi League has investigated and found that Blind Gu is not a traitor. He is originally a member of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect. He has simply been hiding in our righteous world, plotting evil. Who knows how many evil deeds he has committed in secret? The Xinyi League is now issuing a wanted warrant for Blind Gu. His head is valued at 10,000 taels!"

The burly man who spoke first shouted angrily, "Damn it, damn it! She deserves to be killed just like that bitch Yang Qingtong! She deserves to be killed!"

The scholar drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. He seemed a little drunk, staggering on the table, looking into the corner, and said, "Three friends, why don't you share your views on this matter?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the three people in the corner again.

Gu Chudong didn't move, but his hand was on the hilt of the knife.

Yang Qingtong did not make any movement, but his hand was on the hilt of the sword.

Only Gu Mo drank slowly, but he didn't say anything either.

The atmosphere was very depressing and the lobby was very quiet.
The sound of wind and snow outside the door seemed to be getting louder and louder.

After a long while, Gu Mo drank all the wine in the jug, then he slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Is Nie Dongliu here?"

The burly man said, "Alliance Leader Nie is such a hero, how dare you, a thief, meet him?"

"Ah"

Yang Qingtong suddenly sneered, his laughter full of mockery and contempt, and said: "How ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!"

The burly man was immediately enraged. He pointed at Yang Qingtong and cursed, "You traitorous, father-killing bitch, what qualifications do you have to laugh at me? Do you know who I am?"

Yang Qingtong said: "Of course I know who you are, Fan Yixiong, the leader of the Iron Fist Gang!"

"Since you know me, how dare you laugh at me?" Fan Yixiong said angrily: "I, Fan Yixiong, have lived an upright life. What qualifications do you, a thief and a bitch, have to laugh at me!"

"I laugh at your blindness," Yang Qingtong stood up, pointed at the heroes in the room, and said loudly: "I not only laugh at you, Fan Yixiong, I also laugh at all the heroes in the room. They are all blind and mistake real heroes for villains and villains for heroes!" "Nonsense!" Fan Yixiong shouted angrily.

Yang Qingtong said in a deep voice, "I have fled all the way from Donglin County to Tai'an County, going through hardships just to clear my name. But the heroes of Yunzhou are all blind, believing that despicable villain Nie Dongliu to be a hero. My father, Yang Shentong, was such a hero, but now he has been killed by that traitor Nie Dongliu, leaving me alive to be hunted down by you. How many of you here have received kindness from my father, yet now you have ignored the truth of his murder and come here to kill me, come here to kill me?"

Fan Yixiong was one of those who had received great kindness from Yang Shentong. When he heard what Yang Qingtong said, he was stunned for a moment. Especially when he heard Yang Qingtong's last two questions, he was in a trance.

And at this moment,
A soft, husky voice rang out from the crowd, "You thief, you're still quibbling even when you're about to die. You're even spouting nonsense, framing Alliance Leader Nie. You're so shameless! You're truly a thief, a slut. Can those evil people of the Moon Worshiping Cult satisfy you?"

Yang Qingtong's face turned pale. These words were really vicious. Even though Yang Qingtong was a person in the martial arts world who didn't care about trivial matters, she was still a grown-up girl after all. It was really vicious to have someone insult her in public about her innocent matter.

Gu Mo sat on a small stool and couldn't listen any longer. He said slowly, "My friend, in this situation, the worst that can happen is a murder. It's not appropriate to insult a girl like this, isn't it?"

The soft, gentle voice rang out again: "Hey, what an adulterous couple! You bastard, you are so protective of that bitch. Did you accept Chen Yushan's offer? You are worse than an animal. I'm afraid you haven't even let your sister go..."

Originally, Gu Mo wasn't angry, but when he heard that person insulting his younger sister Gu Chudong, he immediately flew into a rage. He suddenly stood up and shouted, "You cunning bastard, get out here!"

The roar was so powerful that the inn was shaking as if it was about to collapse. Many people felt a buzzing in their ears, dizziness in their heads, and their chests seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer. Their blood surged uncontrollably, their faces turned as pale as paper in an instant, their steps staggered, and they all retreated backwards.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Mo swung his right arm, and the invisible power of the Dragon Capturing Technique surged out. It seemed as if an invisible dragon was roaring and flying through the air, and there was a long and shocking sound of a dragon's roar.

Before everyone could recover from the loud shout, they saw a man with a pointed chin and monkey face flying out involuntarily from the crowd.

He waved his limbs wildly, his face full of fear. He wanted to struggle but was tightly bound by the mysterious force. He could only let himself fly straight towards Gu Mo like a kite with a broken string.

The man fell directly in front of Gu Mo, his face pale, and he staggered as if he was drunk.

"Shan Zheng," Yang Qingtong said angrily when she saw the man, "In the past, when we were in the Xinyi League, I treated you well. I protected you when you owed three thousand taels of Yangli Gao and had your hand chopped off. I also paid for your mother's medical treatment when she was seriously ill. How dare you insult me ​​like this today?"

"Is this person from the Xinyi League?" Gu Mo asked.

Yang Qingtong nodded and said, "Yes, a master of incense from the headquarters."

Gu Mo said in a deep voice: "You ungrateful thing, if you have the guts, repeat what you just said to my face!"

The man looked at Gu Mo and dared not say anything. He was so scared that he collapsed to the ground.

"waste!"

Gu Mo kicked the man out and he flew directly out of the inn door. Blood spurted out in the air. He fell to the ground and rolled several times. Blood gushed out of his mouth. It was obvious that he was not going to survive.

"Chengchengcheng..."

Immediately, some people in the inn drew their weapons. They were the several members of the Xinyi League who were traveling with Shan Zheng. One of the young men pointed at Gu Mo and the other two and shouted angrily, "How dare these thieves! First, they framed Alliance Leader Nie in front of all the heroes in the martial arts world, and now they dare to hurt others. Do they really think that there are no people in the Yunzhou martial arts world? Fellow practitioners, what else can we say to these ruthless and disloyal thieves? Everyone, join forces and kill them!"

At this moment,
Suddenly there were screams from the crowd. It turned out that some unknown group of people were hiding in the crowd and suddenly attacked those righteous people, catching them off guard. For a moment, screams and angry shouts were intertwined. Tables and chairs in the inn flew everywhere, cups and plates were broken, and the inn was in a mess.

Amidst the chaos, the attackers tore off their outer clothes, revealing the attire of the Moon Worship Sect. The leader shouted to Yang Qingtong and Gu Mo, "Master Yang, Master Gu, we have many brothers. Are we still afraid of this rabble? Act quickly and kill all these self-proclaimed righteous hypocrites!"

The man was tall and strong, with a face covered with hideous scars. A long scar ran from his forehead across his left eye to his cheek, causing him to lose his left eye, leaving only a black eye socket. His eyes were fierce and brutal, making people afraid of him.

"It's the faceless ghost Pang Mingshan!"

"Gu Mo, you bastard, Yang Qingtong, you bastard, they are indeed colluding with the Moon Worship Cult!"

After the burly man tore off the veil on his face, he revealed a ferocious face that was very recognizable. He was a master of the Moon Worship Sect who had been very active in Dongshan County during this period. He was a leader under the command of Chen Yushan, the amorous young man who was previously wiped out by Yang Shentong.

In an instant, the scene broke out into chaos. The whole inn was filled with shouts, the sounds of weapons clashing, and the sounds of tables and chairs falling to the ground. It was a mess, with smoke everywhere and blood splattering everywhere. Everyone started a life-and-death struggle in this small space.

"Yang Qingtong, Gu Mo, you thieves!"

"Yang Qingtong, you thief actually wanted to deceive us!"

"Kill them!"
