Chapter 887: Chapter 821: This Is the Price!

All the powerful figures from various sects in the Sword South Path, invited by Lin Wenshan, did not dare utter a word at this moment.

Confronting the Town Martial Office is something that, once done, can’t be undone.

After all, the Town Martial Office is meant to suppress all martial arts forces; it would be strange if people didn’t resist.

But whether it’s a duke from the court or a general from the military, such identities are not ones the martial arts forces can easily provoke.

Because once provoked, it would involve not just the Town Martial Office but the entire powerful and domineering Great Sui Dynasty!

So, although everyone intended to help the Qing City Sword Sect when they came.

At this moment, no one could say a single word.

However, the young girl behind Zhuge Longyin didn’t understand these things.

In her view, she came with her grandfather to watch the excitement, only to find that those elders of her grandfather’s generation dared not utter a word as soon as they were shouted at by that incredibly handsome man behind Zhang San.

Although she felt the guy’s expression was somewhat arrogant, he was really handsome!

His skin, perhaps darkened from years of martial practice, wasn’t too dark and appeared really healthy.

Especially his Adam’s apple, which was very prominent, making him look so handsome. What was the urge to lick his neck?

At this moment, Zhuge Longyin didn’t notice that the face of the granddaughter behind him involuntarily blushed.

So, she sneaked to the side and tugged on Long Xutuo, who was also somewhat shocked beside her.

Long Xutuo, though a military general, had once come to the Martial Marquis Manor to seek teachings from her grandfather, thus being considered half a student to Zhuge Longyin.

“Uncle Long, who was that person who just spoke?”

Long Xutuo glanced over and introduced to Zhuge Qingqing: “That is Wang Ziteng, Zhang San’s sworn sixth brother.”

“Wang Ziteng, I’ve never heard of him! Is he very powerful? Or is he just arrogant because he’s Zhang San’s sworn brother and a crony?”

Long Xutuo’s heart trembled, fearing Zhuge Qingqing would think Wang Ziteng was an easy target and cause more trouble by provoking him. He immediately exaggeratedly reintroduced him to Zhuge Qingqing.

“That Wang Ziteng’s strength is not much inferior to Zhang San’s, and being so young, how could he be a mere crony?”

“Moreover, this person once joined the Julong Pass garrison on Longyou Road and went on an expedition to the Thirty-Six Nations of the Western Regions, destroying numerous Western Region Kingdoms, and was conferred the title of Marquis of the Western Pacification by Kaihuang!”

“Just now, under such circumstances, did you see that person who seemed like a fool looking around? That is a Purple Mansion Realm expert on Zhang San’s side, but even such an expert had no speaking rights, yet Wang Ziteng did. Do you think Wang Ziteng can be a crony?”

At this time, Zhang San, seeing those powerful figures remain silent, cupped his fists towards them and smiled slightly.

“I naturally know the martial forces of the Sword South Path are in harmony.”

“I also know that I have multiple identities, so when I come, you might worry about my intentions, including considerations from the Town Martial Office’s perspective. You’re afraid today I’m dealing with the Qing City Sword Sect; next time it might be you.”

“But in fact, I only want a resolution to this matter. After all, a disciple from the Qing City Sword Sect attempted to assassinate me; I can’t just pretend it never happened, right?”

“So this matter, I can downplay it to make a big thing small and a small thing nothing.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Wenshan couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

It’s good if it can be peacefully resolved.

“These seven disciples, I can hand them over to your Qing City Sword Sect for you to handle on your own.”

Upon hearing this, many elders behind Lin Wenshan from the Qing City Sword Sect showed smiles.

“However, I was assassinated, which isn’t a trivial matter. Surely, the Qing City Sword Sect should show some response, right?”

Lin Wenshan nodded repeatedly.

After all, it’s ultimately about paying a price for disaster relief.

I understand!

“I wonder what Deputy Chief Zhang wants?”

Lin Wenshan knew, especially with the presence of so many sect leaders nearby, Zhang San couldn’t make excessive demands.

“Although I practice Blade Technique, weapons in the end have places where one can learn, borrow, and mutually exchange. And I’ve heard, Qing City Sword Sect has a very peculiar Sword Storage Tower. All the swordsmanship manuals, and even some swords used by sect ancestors, are in it.”

“I wish to enter and have a look, and how much I can learn or comprehend depends on my fortune. This is both my fortune and the Town Martial Office’s fortune. What I learn and grasp inside, I might pass on to other martial artists and cultivators in the Town Martial Office.”

Saying this, Zhang San’s gaze swept over the Qing City Sword Sect crowd and the few seeking strong men.

“It’s equivalent to the Qing City Sword Sect exchanging part of its Sword Dao heritage for this moment of peace. How about it?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Wenshan furrowed his brow and glanced back at the elders behind him.

In fact, the elders all felt it was okay, after all, the Sword Storing Pavilion was very big, and the swordsmanship manuals and various heritages inside were too many to count.

Without guidance, even a Sword Dao expert wouldn’t find the Qing City Sword Sect’s three mainline heritage sword techniques by themselves.

As long as Zhang San couldn’t find these mainline heritage sword techniques, it didn’t matter how much of the other stuff he learned.

However, seeing the sect leader’s expression, they instantly understood and quickly feigned a very conflicted expression, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Lin Wenshan spoke: “It can be…okay! But Deputy Chief Zhang is young and promising; if he stays too long, I’m afraid all of Qing City Sword Sect’s heritage might be learned by you. How about setting a time limit?”

Zhang San nodded and then looked up at the sky.

“The sun hasn’t set yet. Why not this, I’ll enter the Sword Storing Pavilion, and leave by sunrise. How about it?”

Lin Wenshan thought about it, and it was just one night; even if Zhang San was a genius, how much could he learn?

The Qing City Sword Sect originally collected various swordsmanship manuals from all over.

Therefore, the manuals in the Sword Storing Pavilion are as vast as the sea of stars, Zhang San could look at them as he pleased.

Moreover, in the Sword Storing Pavilion, besides swordsmanship manuals, there are also other types of manuals, with so many, how could Zhang San just happen to find the Qing City Sword Sect’s most core three mainstream heritage sword techniques?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

More importantly, there are many famous swords left by ancestors in the Sword Storing Pavilion, some of which contain the Sword Intent of those ancestors.

If Zhang San is attracted and comprehends the Sword Intent for a while, such comprehension generally takes at least ten days to half a month.

In one night, Zhang San would probably only have time to have a moment of realization before coming out.

But to prevent Zhang San from realizing he got a raw deal, Lin Wenshan still had to pretend to be very difficult, finally hesitating a bit, then grudgingly nodded: “Alright! Then come out at sunrise! This is the price my Qing City Sword Sect should pay!”
