Chapter 354 Mediation of civil unrest
When Jiang Chen asked, Fang woke up Wang Zihan. She quickly shouted: "Oh, I forgot about this! Wan Liang and Senior Brother Bu went to mediate the dispute! This morning, the disciples of Tianxie Peak fought with the disciples of Demon Soul Peak. Now in the city, the disciples of Tianxie Peak were headed by Wan Liang, and the disciples of Demon Soul Peak were headed by you, but you were not here these days, and the only one who could restrain them was Bu Zheng. So they both ran to mediate, which caused the second elder of the Shui family to be dissatisfied."
"Oh? Why did the fight start? When I was fighting with the army of the Simon Sect before, I saw that the disciples below were all very united!" Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard this.
"It's not the resentment accumulated in the past. It's just that during the war a few days ago, everyone was concerned about fighting, and they forgot these resentments for the time being. Now the situation has relaxed. These contradictions have been revealed again, and due to your reasons, the contradiction has become more intensified!" Wang Zihan sighed.
"What? My reason? I have made the conflict even more intense?" After hearing this, Jiang Chen looked extremely surprised.
He touched his chin and smiled bitterly: "It seems that I have never bullied anyone, let alone said anything that is not conducive to unity. Why do you say that I have made the conflict even more intense?"
"Senior Brother Jiang, do you know that the Demon Soul Peak where you were originally was often bullied by disciples of other mountain peaks. Due to the disadvantage of strength and number of people, the disciples of Demon Soul Peak dared not speak out..." Wang Zihan then told the story of what happened in recent days.
It turned out that in the past, there were conflicts and conflicts between the peaks of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Because of the strongest strength of Tianyou Peak, their disciples looked down on the disciples of other peaks. The disciples of other peaks also knew that they could not beat Tianyou Peak, so they exhaled their anger on the weakest disciples of the Demon Soul Peak.
The number of disciples at Demon Soul Peak is smaller than that of the other seven peaks, and the strength is much worse than that of others, so they keep swallowing their anger. Gradually, the other peaks have developed the virtue of being arrogant in front of the disciples at Demon Soul Peak. The disciples at Demon Soul Peak are also used to it.
But now, Jiang Chen suddenly rose up and led the disciples of the Tianmo Sect to defeat the invading army of the Ziyin Sect in one fell swoop, and killed Mu Tiezhu and Yan Nannan, becoming the city lord of Wunan City, and reversing the situation in the entire northern part of the Han Kingdom.
His great achievements naturally inspired the disciples of Demon Soul Peak, and he immediately felt like a serf turned over as his master.
But the disciples of the other peaks did not buy it much. In their opinion, this was just a reflection of Jiang Chen's personal ability, not the glory of the Demon Soul Peak. Moreover, the other disciples of the Demon Soul Peak did not make much military achievements in the battle, and their views on the other disciples of the Demon Soul Peak were still the same as before.
As a result, the conflict between the two sides will naturally become sharp. It was fine when Jiang Chen was there, and everyone was always a little worried, but Jiang Chen was not in the city lord's mansion these days, and the two sides had no scruples, and naturally there would be constant conflicts. If it weren't for the restraint of Wan Liang, Bu Zheng, Wang Zihan and others, they would be afraid that they would have had a big fight.
However, today happened to meet Shui Yuening and others leading reinforcements. Wan Liang, Bu Zheng and others went to the city gate to welcome him. Ding Lei, the early stage disciple of the Foundation Building of the Demon Soul Peak, and Liao Wencheng, the early stage disciple of the Foundation Building of the Demon Yin Peak, were out of control, so they bought a bottle of energy and scattered each other, which finally led to the two sides agreeing to make a duel in the square in the center of the city to determine the outcome.
Before the fight started, the two of them notified their fellow brothers with sound transmission notes, and in the end they became a group fight with dozens of people participating.
Wan Liang and Bu Zheng, who received the report, were anxious and had to hand over the reception to Wang Zihan and Zheng Yiran. Then they took the monks from the city law enforcement team to isolate the two sides.
"These guys are so stupid!" Jiang Chen was also angry when he heard this.
He immediately said, "Let's go! Take me to the scene and let me see what these bastards are going to do!"
Wang Zihan nodded. Then he was led to the square in the center of the city. At this time, many onlookers had already come to the square, including cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Sect, some casual cultivators and body refiners. In the center of the square, Wan Liang and Bu Zheng each led a group of law enforcement monks to separate the two clearly divided groups of young disciples in the Heavenly Demon Sect uniforms.
Jiang Chen looked closely and saw a badge with the word "soul" on his chest, which seemed to be a disciple of Demon Soul Peak. The other team had a badge with the word "yin" on his chest, which was naturally a monk of Demon Soul.
When the disciples of the Demon Soul Peak saw Jiang Chen coming, they immediately cheered, as if they were saviors. The disciples of the Demon Soul Peak were sarcastic and mixed with joy.
Seeing Jiang Chen coming, Wan Liang and Bu Zheng quickly came up and said angrily: "Senior Brother Jiang, you are finally back. If you don't come, we can't hold back."
"What's going on? Which side caused the incident first?" Jiang Chen asked in a low voice.
"This..." Wan Liang and Bu Zheng looked at each other, and Bu Zheng signaled that Wan Liang would speak.
Wan Liang thought about it, after all, Bu Zheng is also a disciple of the Demon Soul Peak. Although he is a fair person, in the eyes of outsiders, he is inevitably suspicious of being slapped. So he sighed and said, "In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just that both sides had some grudges during the big exam, and lacked tolerance, so they were unwilling to give in. The owner of the pharmacy shop originally suggested that Junior Brother Ding and Junior Brother Liao share the bottle of qi, but they were not willing to. So, just..."
When Jiang Chen heard this, he was finally furious. He immediately shouted at the disciple with a bruised nose and face and said, "Ding Lei, Liao Wencheng, come out for me!"
Ding Lei was the disciple who participated in the Demon Soul Peak Examination with Jiang Chen and finally won the third place. Liao Wencheng was the champion of the Demon Yin Peak Examination with Jiang Chen. He participated in the Fairy Spirit Pool Competition, but was defeated.
But the two of them had a good encounter later and both succeeded in building the foundation. However, in the big test, Ding Lei and Liao Wencheng formed a grudge, so they always couldn't stand each other. Now the struggle for gathering and dispersing is just a fuse.
Jiang Chen said with a heartache at this time: "Do you know? Why can we defeat the powerful army of the Ziyin Sect with a disadvantaged force? The main reason is not how powerful I, Jiang Chen, is, but that everyone can let go of their past grudges, work together, and unite to fight the enemy! Only then can we cooperate with tacit understanding under the enemy's superior forces to make Wunan City stand tall..."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued, "But if you always fight for some small grudges between individuals, speak harsh words to your brothers, and get hurt by the harmony between them. Then how can you fight against the enemy together in the future? Even if you are forced to go to the battlefield, you will have a gap in your heart, and it will be hard to be as close as before!"
"Now, the Ziyin Sect has not yet been defeated. We have only saved the situation in the north and have not yet fought with the main force commanded by Yan Nantian. His troops are even more powerful than Yan Nannan. Even if we have reinforcements, we may not be able to ensure victory. In the current situation of the great enemy, how about you! Let's fight in the nest first?"
"Who are you doing this for? Are you doing this for the monks of Xiangyang who are here today? Or are you doing this for me, Jiang Chen? Are you afraid that others will not know that the Demon Sect is good for internal fighting? You two of you said: Is it true that you are comrades who fought bloody together? Are you worthy of those brothers who died to protect their friends?" Jiang Chen shouted angrily.
After hearing this, Ding Lei and Liao Wencheng were speechless, their mouths twitched for a while, then lowered their heads and remained silent.
Standing behind them, the disciples in the Qi Refining Stage were speechless. However, a few people still showed dissatisfaction on their faces, as if they wanted to defend themselves for a few words, but after thinking for a long time, they felt that they could not refute Jiang Chen's words. After opening their mouths for a while, they quickly closed them.
Seeing that they were still a little ashamed, Fang's tone calmed down and said in a deep voice: "I know! The Demon Soul Peak, which Jiang was born in, has reduced its strength among the eight peaks of the Heavenly Demon Sect, so its status in everyone's mind is not high. But what I want to say is: Whether it is the Demon Soul Peak or the Demon Yin Peak, even the recognized strongest Tianyou Peak. In my mind, Jiang Chen, they are an important part of the Heavenly Demon Sect. They are part of the fight against foreign enemies. I don't want everyone to discriminate against the disciples of the peak because of the weak strength of a certain peak. They don't want the disciples of the peak to think that they can be proud and bully others in turn!"
"If you want to be favored and to get respect and recognition from others, then show your own strength! In three days, the rest period will end. Our reinforcements have arrived today... Now I can tell you: In three days, I will personally lead the army of Wunan City to the south and launch an attack on the army of the Ziyin Sect from behind Yan Nantian. If you really want to prove your strength to the other party, it depends on how many enemies you can kill and how many military achievements you can make. What our Tianmo Sect wants is a hero who makes the enemy scared, not a coward who only knows internal fighting!" Jiang Chen said solemnly at this time.
Ding Lei and Liao Wencheng finally showed a shameful expression. The two immediately stood up straight and said in unison: "Senior Brother Jiang, don't worry! I will definitely prove to you with practical actions that I will be better than him!"
