Chapter 967 A Show of Force

"Yo!"

In front of the Mingyue Tower, a middle-aged Taoist priest chuckled, as if he had just realized what he was doing. He stood there and cupped his hands casually, and said, "So you are the new flag bearer. I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you just now. !”

After the man finished speaking, he looked Liang Yan up and down, and then said:

"The previous flag bearers of Qingyun Pavilion were all in the middle stage of Golden Elixir at the lowest. Your Excellency has just advanced to Golden Elixir. Tsk tsk, you can't even compare to one of our branch's engravings. Here's a piece of advice, you might as well just stay in the pavilion for the next ten years. You can go into seclusion in order to feel relaxed and at ease without getting yourself into trouble, don’t you think so?”

As soon as the middle-aged Taoist priest said this, the people in the Chamber of Commerce present burst into laughter, and many monks had a look of amusement on their faces.

"Who is he?"

Liang Yan glanced at this person and ignored him, but asked Luo Wu behind him.

"This person's name is Ling Tao. He is a worshiper of the Guangyuan City branch. In his early years, he tried to worship at Wuzhuang Mountain, one of the seven immortal mountains. Unfortunately, his talent was too poor and he was kicked out by others."

Luo Wu took his time and told Ling Tao's past. Although there was no expression on his face, there was an unconcealable sarcasm in his eyes.

Ling Tao was slightly startled when he heard this, and then became furious.

In his early years, he indeed traveled thousands of miles to Wuzhuang Mountain to become a disciple and seek enlightenment. Unfortunately, he failed to pass the first round of examinations and was kicked out. This incident was regarded as a great shame and humiliation by Ling Tao.

Later, he worked hard and experienced several adventures, and finally succeeded in cultivating Taoism and entered the Golden Elixir. The fact that he was kicked out of his apprenticeship at Wuzhuangshan was regarded as his biggest taboo, and he hated being mentioned the most.

Now Luo Wu mentioned the matter again in front of so many people present, but he still looked slow and calm, clearly not taking him seriously. No matter how good-hearted Ling Tao was, he couldn't help but get really angry.

"Well, Luo Wu, don't think that because you are from Qingyun Pavilion, I don't dare to touch you!"

As soon as Ling Tao finished speaking, he heard a voice speaking lightly:

"What kind of crime should someone who openly threatens the inspector of Qingyun Pavilion deserve in our Chamber of Commerce?"

"Reporting to the Liangqi Envoy, those who are dissatisfied with the supervision and even openly threaten our Qingyun Pavilion should be removed from their positions and handed over to the Chamber of Commerce Reward and Punishment Hall for punishment." Luo Wu responded loudly.

"good!"

Liang Yan nodded. As soon as he said the word "ok", the figure flashed and disappeared directly.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Ling Tao, with a layer of faint golden light flowing on his raised right hand, and the next moment he fanned out!

Ling Tao really didn't expect that the newly appointed flag bearer would actually take action as soon as he asked. Fortunately, he was also a monk in the early stage of the golden elixir. His reaction was just a little slow, and he quickly mobilized his spiritual power to condense a wave of energy outside his body. Layers of body-protecting Qi.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound, but it was Liang Yan who smashed his protective aura with his palm and slapped him directly in the face!

Ling Tao felt a surge of Buddhist Vajra power, breaking through several levels in his body and shaking his internal organs out of position.

His throat was fishy and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood with a "Wow!" and his whole body flew out to the left.

But before he landed, another figure flashed beside him, but it was Liang Yan who came up from behind and slapped Ling Tao's Tianling Cap with one hand.

With this palm strike, Ling Tao felt an extremely cunning spiritual power seeping into his meridians, sealing all his twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, and he could no longer use any of his magical powers.

Liang Yan restrained Ling Tao with one move, but the expression on his face did not change at all. He picked up Ling Tao's collar with one hand and threw him back casually.

Luo Wu had been waiting for a long time, and now his face was excited. He stepped forward to take Ling Tao and held him in his hands like a little chicken, without giving any face to everyone in the branch.

Everyone present took a breath when they saw this.

The two people who just fought were obviously at the Golden Core realm, but Ling Tao couldn't even catch Liang Yan's move. Before anyone could react, he was already captured alive by the opponent.

Of course, part of the reason here is Liang Yan's sneak attack, but this is also the most irritating part. You must know that as the master of Qingyun Pavilion, and the other party is just a worshiper of a branch, he can actually lose face in front of so many people. To carry out a sneak attack in front of someone, it can only be said that this person has no martial ethics at all.

It's a pity that Liang Yan has never been a man of rules. At this moment, he put his hands behind his back and said calmly in front of a group of monks:

"This person threatened me in the Qingyun Pavilion in public. I have already captured him. He is temporarily under the custody of Luo Wu and will be handed over to the Hall of Reward and Punishment for punishment later."

As soon as the three words "Hall of Reward and Punishment" came out, Ling Tao, who was originally like mud, suddenly became excited again, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

At this time, an old man in Confucian robes among the crowd slowly stood up, cupped his hands towards Liang Yan and said:

"Liang Qi, please calm down. Ling Tao is outspoken. He didn't mean to be disrespectful to you just now. I hope you will not remember the villain's mistakes and spare him this time."

Before Liang Yan could ask, Luo Wu had already sent a message and said: "This person's name is Xu Zhou. He is a worshiper of the Guangyuan City branch and a fellow disciple of the president Situ Shen. According to outside rumors, this person's cultivation is higher than his Senior brother is much stronger."

Different from the introduction of Ling Tao just now, Luo Wu used voice transmission this time, and he was obviously quite afraid of this old man in Confucian robes.

Liang Yan nodded slightly. With just a glance, he could already see that this person's cultivation was at its peak in the middle stage of the Golden Core. He was only one step away from breaking through to the late stage of the Golden Core.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Xu, nice to meet you!"

Liang Yan chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "It's not that Liang is unkind, it's just that I have just taken over the Qingyun Pavilion, and everything must be done impartially, otherwise wouldn't it be just a mouthful? This Ling Tao threatened me in the Qingyun Pavilion in public, He has violated the Chamber of Commerce regulations, which is obvious to everyone, even if Liang wants to let it go, how can he stop everyone from talking about it? "

After hearing this, the people from the Chamber of Commerce present could not help but roll their eyes secretly, feeling that this person was extremely shameless.

Xu Zhou didn't have much fluctuation. He just laughed and said: "Liang Qishi is really eloquent, I feel ashamed. Let me make a bet with you. If Liang Qishi wins, then Ling Tao will be at your disposal, and you will also be given 30,000 spiritual stones as a gift. If I win the Liang Qi Shi by luck, then there is nothing more than letting Ling Tao go, how about that?"

After hearing this, Liang Yan felt secretly funny.

In fact, he did not come here to completely break with the three branches. The reason why he captured Ling Tao was just because he was disrespectful to him in public, which could be regarded as establishing his own prestige.

For the others, Liang Yan didn't want to get too stiff yet, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll give Fellow Daoist Xu some face. Please tell me how to gamble."
