Chapter 24 The storm is about to come

The men and horses of Zhuque Hall were almost all out tonight, and the people left behind were subdued, so Hu Qingpeng and others did not encounter any obstacles when they left the dungeon. They also changed into a costume of disciples from the World Association and headed straight to the lobby where the birthday banquet was held.

Hu Qingpeng asked as he walked, "Brother Lan, how many people are in the Tianxia Society's headquarters obeying Hu Lingquan's command? How many people are loyal to the Lord Zhang Yukun? Which party is the other Lords support?" The Tianxia Society has obviously split into two factions. The situation is critical at the moment. Only by getting the full support of Zhang Yukun's faction can they have the opportunity to defeat Hu Lingquan and make their wishful thinking fail.

Lan Yong's face was slightly red. After all, family scandals should not be exposed. He stumbled: "I will divide the four inner halls and four outer halls in the world. The four inner halls are all located in the main hall, and the four outer halls are located in Hangzhou, Yingtian, Nanchang, and Hefei. Among the four inner halls, Zhuque and White Tiger are all obeying Hu Lingquan. The Punishment Hall is naturally controlled by Lord Zhang, and Lord Xie Guanzhong of Shenji Hall is shaking and belongs to those who are changing their minds by the wind."

Hu Qingpeng smiled bitterly, even if he was not counted as Baiyun Sect, Yanyulou's troops were at a disadvantage! Moreover, the other party had been planning for a long time and had been prepared, and Zhang Yukun's people were kept in the dark from beginning to end. Once the war started, they would inevitably be defeated. He asked with one-tenth of hope: "So who should the masters of the four outer halls support?"

Lan Yong shook his head and said, "I don't know! The four of them rarely return to Changsha. Every time they come and go in a hurry, they basically have no contact with us. I heard that the Qinglong Association has strengthened its infiltration activities in recent times and seems to be going to invade the south in large numbers. These four of them are busy welcoming the enemy to prepare for war and have not been able to come back to attend the party's birthday party."

"What?!" The last glimmer of hope was also shattered, and Hu Qingpeng felt the coldness. It was no coincidence that the Qinglong Association chose to invade the World Association at this time. It was absolutely not a coincidence that it was very likely that he had colluded with Baiyun Sect and Yanyu Tower, and consciously restrained the main force of the World Association so that Huangfu Ji and others could take action. The World Association was plotted by the three major forces of the evil gangs, and can it be safe and sound? Of course, the answer is no. Although it has not taken action yet, it can be said that the overall situation has been determined and the manpower is irreversible. Hu Qingpeng calmed down and said to Tang Jingtian seriously: "Brother Tang, Li'er, you have nothing to do with this matter. Listen to me, leave Changsha City immediately. No matter what news you hear, don't look back! Go quickly!"

Tang Jingtian and Tang Xue looked at each other and said in confusion: "Why do you want us to leave? What about you?"

Hu Qingpeng sighed: "This matter is hard to say clearly in a few words. In short, there is a bloody battle at the birthday party. You'd better avoid it in advance to avoid being caught in the fish seedlings of the pond. As for me, I have to find the Lord Zhang Yukun and complete the burden of my burden, and I have to rescue my Senior Brother Gao. So even though I know it's a sea of ​​swords and fire, I have to make a breakthrough!"

Tang Xue looked at his passionate look and a ray of color flashed in her eyes. She grabbed his sleeve and whispered and firmly: "If you don't leave, I won't leave! I will go wherever you go!"

Hu Qingpeng paused and said, "Lier, this is a dangerous battle that will last forever. Don't mess around, okay?"

Tang Xue glared at him: "Who is messing around? I'm serious!"

Hu Qingpeng looked at Tang Jingtian helplessly, and Tang Jingtian waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say it! I, Tang Jingtian, is a cowardly and incompetent coward who abandoned my friend and escaped? If you think I am a friend, don't advise me to leave alone. Either we go together or we stay together!" His tone was firm and there was no doubt.

Hu Qingpeng was moved in his heart. This is his good friend who shares life and death! He turned to Lan Yong and said, "Brother Lan, I'm going to tell you a long story short. Please be sure to believe me! Hu Lingquan colluded with Baiyun Sect and Yanyulou, trying to cooperate tonight to attack the world club's main hall! The leader of Wei Hanxiang was killed and silenced by Deng Dingnan because he discovered their conspiracy. Please inform the brothers in the Punishment Hall immediately. Once you find that there is a change, you will go to the birthday party to save people! It will be too late!"

Lan Yong was startled and said in surprise: "What did you say?! No matter how brave Hu Ling is, he will not betray the leader, right?"

Hu Qingpeng spread his hands: "I know you may not believe it, but it is the truth. Think about it, why did Hu Lingquan imprison me secretly? What exactly is he afraid of? Do I have any reason to deceive you?"

Lan Yong was shocked and sweated coldly, and said with a bitter face: "But without Lord Zhang's token, the disciples of the Zhengtang would not believe me! But Lord Zhang went to attend the birthday party and was not in the Zhengtang!"

Hu Qingpeng was anxious and sighed: "At this point, one step is only one step!"

Turning over a side door, a team of about ten people suddenly flashed out of the slanting thorn, blocking everyone's way. The little leader in the lead shouted proudly: "Stop! Master Hu has an order, and the birthday banquet is at the important place, and idle people are not allowed to enter! Those who violate the order will be killed!"

Lan Yong was so heartless that he believed Hu Qingpeng's words that he angrily said: "Li Bajie, please use chicken feathers as a command arrow. Who do you want to scare? We have an urgent matter to report to Lord Zhang, please get out of here!"

The little leader said sly: "Lan Yong, I'm not kidding today! If you want to hit me, save your life first!" He raised his hand and waved his hand, and the guards behind him all pulled out their weapons, and a murderous aura surged up.

Hu Qingpeng glanced at Tang Jingang, and the two suddenly flashed out, and they made a move like lightning, clicking or slapping, and in a blink of an eye, the guards' acupoints were sealed. The other party and their martial arts were too different, and they didn't expect that they were mixed with ordinary gang disciples, and they lost their freedom of movement before they could even make a scream. Hu Qingpeng and others broke through three lines of warning and defense and came outside the lobby where the birthday party was held. They saw red lanterns hanging outside the lobby, and the word "天" was posted on the walls. The lobby was filled with people and laughing constantly, and the birthday party had already begun.

As soon as Hu Qingpeng and others appeared, dozens of guards guarding outside the lobby stopped them. The leader of the team was Hu Liang, the young master of Hu Lingquan. Because the light was dim at night, Hu Liang did not find Tang Jingtian, an old enemy. He pointed to Lan Yong's nose and said, "If you don't go and watch the gate, be a watchdog, why are you here for the time being? Do you want to pick a few flesh and bones to chew?" The people behind him burst into laughter, full of mockery.

Lan was so brave that he smoked his orifices and said angrily: "Hu Liang, don't rely on others' power! When I followed the club to focus on the country, you didn't even have enough hair. What's the right to shout here?!"

Hu Liang didn't expect that Lan Yong, who had always been low-key, suddenly turned against him and dared to challenge him, shouting: "**, you dare to insult me. Are you tired of living? I'll chop you up!" He pulled out his sword and slashed it on his head.

The moment the sword was unsheathed, Hu Qingpeng couldn't help but exclaimed. The sword in Hu Liang's hand was the Sword that he was familiar with! It turned out that after Hu Lingquan took away his sword, he handed it to his son! Lan Yong didn't know that the sword was powerful, so he raised the sword in one frame. He heard a light sound. The enemy sword cut the steel knife into two pieces, and he slashed it to the face without decreasing speed. Lan Yong was shocked and suddenly felt that the back leader was tightened. Hu Qingpeng pulled it back in time, and survived death.

Hu Liang cut off the opponent's weapon with one sword, raised his toes, and was about to chase after him and make up for the sword. A figure flashed, and an iron fist quickly magnified in front of his eyes. The rapid fist made his skin hurt. Hu Liang was so scared that he closed his eyes and screamed. The sword was whispered back, trying to cut off the enemy's arm. Hu Qingpeng made progress in the toilet, cut the opponent's pulse across the left palm, and wiped his right hand, easily snatched the sword that had been lost for many days back into his hand. He knocked out an elbow punch, hit Hu Liang's chest. Hu Liang groaned, fell back and knocked over the two of them, broke several ribs, and vomited blood and fainted on the spot.

The guards did not expect that someone would dare to take a heavy hand in the main hall to injure Hu Liang, and they were shocked. When Hu Qingpeng calmly snatched the scabbards together, they came to their senses and shouted loudly, and more than a dozen weapons were greeted at him.

Hu Qingpeng shouted, "I won't do it yet!" The long sword danced quickly, shaking up layers of sword waves to protect the vital points of the body. The enemy's weapons hit his sword curtain, and they all broke and fell to the ground with a clang. Lan Yong shouted violently, "Go up!" He took the lead and rushed into a ball with the opponent.

At this moment, two figures flew out from the lobby one after another and shouted, "Stop it all! What's going on? Why do you kill each other?" One of them had square faces and big ears, wearing red clothes, which was Hu Lingquan. The other one had cold faces and strict eyes. He was not angry and powerful when he looked around, which was very frightening. It was Zhang Yukun, the head of the Zhengtang Hall. The two of them had their own thoughts. When they heard the sound of fighting outside the lobby, they came out to check the truth without waiting for the orders of the Lord.

"Master Hu!" "Master Zhang!" When the two factions saw the leader appear, they stopped and dodged, and naturally formed two major camps, clearly separated.

Hu Lingquan suddenly noticed Hu Liang was lying on the ground, his heart trembled, he jumped to Hu Liang's side, carefully picked up his son, fed him a few medicines, and said sternly: "Who did it? Who is it?!" Hu Ran raised his eyes and swept at Hu Qingpeng and others, with endless ferocious hatred in his eyes.

Hu Qingpeng took a step forward and took his sword to his chest: "Lord Hu, it's been a long time since I've been hurt by my son!"

Hu Lingquan was shocked all over and said in a daze: "Why are you?! You are not..." Suddenly, he kept silent, looked at the disciples of the World Association behind him, and understood who had rescued him. He glared at Zhang Yukun with hatred and sneered: "Master Zhang, what a good method! He actually plotted against me in a quiet manner. I will settle this account with you later!"

Zhang Yukun said coldly: "I will accompany you at any time!" Lan Yong grabbed a few steps and came to him and whispered for a while. Zhang Yukun's face turned pale, and his pair of eagle eyes shot at Hu Lingquan like cold electricity, and shouted angrily: "Hu Lingquan, you are so brave, you actually want to betray the world club and conspire to rebel!"

When Hu Lingquan saw Hu Qingpeng, he knew that his plan could not be hidden from the other party. He did not panic when he heard this and retorted: "Zhang Yukun, don't slander me with blood! What evidence do you have to accuse me of betraying the world? No? Haha, is it that you want to cover up the sky with one hand, but you deliberately fabricate the crime and wait for an opportunity to eradicate me? No one will believe this trick that a child plays!"

Zhang Yukun sneered: "You are still quibbling! Do you dare to confront me with the Lord?"

Hu Lingquan said: "Why don't I dare? I am loyal and loyal, only the sun and the moon can express. Are you afraid that you will not succeed?"

Zhang Yukun said, "Okay! Let's go to see the host now!" He turned around and gave Lan Yong a few instructions, handed a token to him. Lan Yong greeted seven or eight disciples and hurriedly left. Seeing this, Hu Lingquan just sneered and did not issue any instructions. He hugged Hu Liangdang to walk into the lobby first. Zhang Yukun waved to Hu Qingpeng, signaled him to come over, and whispered: "Young Master Hu, are you saying true? You will rely on you later!"

Hu Qingpeng said seriously: "I dare to guarantee it with my life, every word I say is true!"

Zhang Yukun nodded, feeling relieved and sad, sighed and turned to the lobby. Hu Qingpeng, Tang Jingtian and others then entered.

The red candles in the lobby were lit up, making it bright as daylight, and about a dozen banquets were placed. A huge golden word "张开" was posted on the front wall. There were a long table in front of the wall. The table was filled with rare treasures. It was a birthday gift dedicated by heroes from all over the world. It shone under the candlelight and was mouth-watering. On the chairman in the middle, Zeng Zhixiong, the leader of the World Association, was sitting on the seat, and his momentum was unparalleled. He was tall and majestic, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, rough outlines, and a steel needle-like chin.

His short beards and every move shows his leader's style, which makes people involuntarily impressed. Although today is his fiftieth birthday and there are heroes who celebrate his birthday, his expression is calm and he cannot see a trace of excitement. His deep eyes are like a lake and sea, which makes people unable to see through the depths. Only when he looks at a young woman in white who is nestled beside him, a little deep affection flashes in his eyes. The young woman is about twenty years old, with red lips and white teeth, dignified and beautiful, with a faint melancholy look between her eyebrows and eyes, and is very close to Zeng Zhixiong.

Those who are qualified to come to the Tianxia Club to attend the birthday party were all well-known masters. Naturally, they heard the sound of the fight just now, but due to the owner's face, they all pretended to be nothing. At this time, they saw Hu Lingquan walking into the lobby with the injured person in his arms, and looked sad and angry. Realizing that the matter was extraordinary, they couldn't help but talk in a low voice. The joyful and festive atmosphere immediately became strange. After Hu Qingpeng stepped into the lobby, he signaled Tang Jingtian, Tang Xue quickly found Gao Qingcheng and Zeng Ying, and don't get separated when the melee was later.

Zeng Zhixiong frowned slightly, put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice: "Old Hu, what happened? Wouldn't you let your friends on the Tao be laughed at by a joke?"

Hu Lingquan knelt down on the ground and said sadly: "Report to the Lord of the Council, the disciples of the Zhengtang colluded with outsiders and broke into the main hall privately. The son Hu Liang was injured because of blocking and interrogating them! When his subordinate wanted to catch the murderer, Lord of the Council not only obstructed him, but also colluded with outsiders to slander me for betraying the World Association and attempt to trap me in an unkind and unrighteous place! His subordinates have fought for the World Association for more than 20 years and have shed countless blood and sweat. Unexpectedly, he was deliberately framed today. I am so disappointed! I would like to ask the Lord of the Council to be fair and restore my innocence!"

Zhang Yukun hurriedly defended: "The Lord of the Association is clear and do not believe the villain's one-sided words! Hu Lingquan colluded with Baiyun Sect and Yanyulou, and attempted to sneak attack my World Association tonight. The situation is urgent. Please approve the Lord of the Association to capture the traitor and be on guard!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in amazement. Especially those heroes who came from afar, they were even more restless and whispered.

Hu Lingquan shouted: "Everyone, don't be impatient, don't believe his rumors! Zhang Yukun, you are talking nonsense, are there any evidence? What's your intention to deliberately disrupt the birthday party's banquet?"

Zhang Yukun said solemnly: "Master, the disciples of Hengshan Sect can testify in this matter!" He pulled Hu Qingpeng with his backhand. Hu Qingpeng understood and stood up and said, "My younger brother, Hu Qingpeng, Hengshan, pay homage to Master Zeng! I saw Deng Dingnan assassinate the helm leader Wei Hanxiang, and saw Huangfuji, the leader of Baiyun Sect, leading the master into Changsha and conspired with Yanyulou to attack the world club. I dare to use Xiang's head to guarantee that he had nothing to say just now!"

Hu Lingquan shouted: "Don't believe his words! He was bribed!"

Zeng Zhixiong stood up and said coldly: "Stop your mouth!" Although the voice was not loud, it contained a strong internal force, which made everyone's hearts jump. They all stopped talking consciously. The needle fell in the hall to hear it. Zeng Zhixiong's eyes turned and shot straight on Hu Qingpeng: "Have you lie?"

Hu Qingpeng and his eyes touched, and his chest felt like he was pressed by a huge rock. The heavy pressure almost made him breathless, and a cold sweat broke out from behind. Zeng Zhixiong's eyes were like sharp arrows, penetrated into his heart, and it seemed like a bottomless abyss, which was terrifying. Faced with such a deep and intimidating gaze, no one dared to have the idea of ​​lying a little. He wanted to speak, but was shocked to find that under the pressure of the other party's aura, his breath was disordered and he could not speak casually! He was secretly shocked in his heart. Zeng Zhixiong's martial arts skills were probably able to compete with Yin Tianyun, Ouyang Jue and others, and he was enough to look down on the world. Hu Qingpeng was stubborn, so how could he give in easily? He silently used his inner family's true energy, and his skills were instantly increased to 100%. He said with a straightforward voice: "I have not lie!"

A look of surprise flashed in Zeng Zhixiong's eyes. He obviously didn't expect that the other party was so young and had the strength of a first-class master. His eyes drooped slightly, and he looked at Hu Lingquan coldly without saying a word. Hu Lingquan's forehead was sweating profusely, and he couldn't help but scold in his heart. Why haven't the damn Huangfu Ji come yet?

Suddenly, a round thing flew in from the gate, sprinkling scarlet blood beads all the way. Zhang Yukun hit him with a palm from the air, and the thing fell to the ground, rolled twice and stopped, Lan Yong died with his head open!
