Chapter 745 - 732: Making a Name
Xue Sheng suddenly stood up, feeling that the Feiyun Pavilion was not only shameless but also arrogant and dismissive of others.
He shouted, "Feiyun Pavilion, don’t bully others too much. Do you really think the Capital City Jianghu is a place for you to act recklessly?"
Ling Xiao, with a blank expression, said, "Master Xue, our Feiyun Pavilion follows the Jianghu rules for challenges, conducts affairs according to Jianghu customs, yet following Jianghu rules, we are considered reckless? Do you believe that our Feiyun Pavilion should not challenge at all, and you should just acknowledge us as a large force and retreat whenever we meet in the future?"
Large force?
From small to medium size, it might have taken them five years, ten years, or even longer. But this Feiyun Pavilion, how long has it been since its establishment? It only appeared in the Capital City Jianghu over half a month ago, an unknown small force without manpower or reputation, climbing its way up. Originally, it was thought they just wanted a place among the medium forces, but unexpectedly, their ambitions are large enough that they actually want to become a large force?
Xue Sheng and others were so infuriated, they laughed. Did they really think with only a few dozen people they could become a large force?
Ling Xiao certainly didn’t think so; he acted this way because Xia Wenjin said the Feiyun Pavilion needed to make its name known. Since they needed to make a name, what better way than challenging all the way up, making all forces bow their heads in surrender, rising from obscurity to fame? Isn’t this the simplest way to become famous?
As for manpower, he wasn’t worried at all.
The only part of Feiyun Pavilion that came to the Capital City was the Azure Dragon Hall.
And Feiyun Pavilion has the Azure Dragon Hall, Qingfeng Hall, Qingluan Hall, Qingyun Hall, Feige Hall, Flying Eagle Hall, Flying Tiger Hall, and Flying Sparrow Hall. Perhaps there will be more in the future.
Even now, only a part of the Azure Dragon Hall has come.
The Pavilion Master’s ambition is for the world, not just Nanxia. Naturally, as subordinates, they must look further ahead to make their actions more effective, simpler, and quicker!
Duan Sizhan impatiently said, "You acknowledge the challenge result, right? Since you do, stop with the nonsense. I want to see how you plan to challenge us!"
They each brought skilled fighters; the hall was crowded with over twenty people while their opponent only had six.
This kind of force challenge is not fought one-on-one; he wanted to see how these six people could defeat them all!
Even according to Jianghu rules, if they used a relay battle, it wouldn’t be shameful, as they were not the challengers. If it weren’t considered unfavorable to attack in groups, they wouldn’t mind!
Of course, this is also the reason why several forces heard that Feiyun Pavilion was challenging the Blood Tiger Hall today and came over.
If Feiyun Pavilion wins, these forces will have to move aside a bit, but if they lose, they can maintain their position.
Ling Xiao didn’t care, saying, "Since it’s a challenge, naturally, we’ll determine the outcome in the arena!"
They actually want to resolve it in the arena!
The five Hall Masters and Sect Leaders felt both anger and cold amusement.
Arrogant, pompous, and foolish!
Duan Sizhan, with a name that sounded simple and domineering, was not a simple person at all; he immediately asked, "Are you saying you want to challenge all of us here with your six people?"
Ling Xiao glanced at everyone in the hall and said blandly, "If we don’t challenge all of you, I suppose you wouldn’t be convinced. Since our Feiyun Pavilion wants to expand, naturally we must show you our strength!"
They really accepted the challenge.
Duan Sizhan, seeing Ling Xiao fall into his trap, took control, saying, "Then please, to the practice arena!"
Xue Sheng was slightly uncomfortable with Duan Sizhan behaving like he was not an outsider, but he thought, although the challenge was against their Blood Tiger Hall, it also closely concerned these other families.
Moreover, even though their Blood Tiger Hall ranked tenth, their strength wasn’t much different. This was also a good opportunity to observe the skills of experts from other families.
Besides, the people from Feiyun Pavilion came with ill intentions. The display of power at the hall’s entrance before was of no use at all; evidently, only a hard fight will settle this high or low. There’s no reason for only Blood Tiger Hall to exert effort while the four other families profit. Naturally, they should work together as allies!
Such a small matter isn’t worth worrying over.
He waved his hand and said, "Please this way!"
The practice arena of Blood Tiger Hall is to the east, a large area with some followers practicing martial arts there. On the right side, there’s a platform just right for sparring.
When everyone arrived, Xue Sheng had already instructed others to clear the disciples, and more chairs were brought and arranged in front of the platform, allowing Xue Sheng and the others to take their seats one by one.
