Chapter 133: Chapter 115: Tricks (4.6K large Chapter, asking for monthly ticket)_3
At this moment, the drawbridge of the castle was suddenly lowered, and a group of knights galloped out from within.
"Second Master...."
Suddenly, the man called Brother Chao hastily exclaimed, "This is an Inner Sect Disciple from the Divine Sword Sect."
The group of knights ran down from the drawbridge, led by a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, sitting on a horse sizing up Li Qian, and he cupped his fists saying, "So it is the young hero from the Divine Sword Sect, I am Hong Xingyuan; may I know if the young hero has come to undertake the mission to eliminate the Black Knight Gang?"
"Indeed."
Li Qian nodded.
"May I ask young hero, where are the other members of the Divine Sword Sect?"
The middle-aged man, Hong Xingyuan, asked curiously.
After all, after seeking help from the Divine Sword Sect, the three big families should have sent top experts from the True Qi Realm.
"Just me alone."
Li Qian said indifferently.
"One? Young hero, please follow me into the manor, we will report to you the information about the Black Knight Gang."
Hong Xingyuan was initially startled, and then his expression turned even more respectful.
Although he thought Li Qian was a bit too young, since the Divine Sword Sect had sent him, it meant his strength must be formidable.
For a major martial sect like the Divine Sword Sect, with many geniuses, sometimes age should not be used to measure strength.
Li Qian nodded and rode his horse following these people into the Hong Family Manor.
In the main hall, the Hong Family Master and several senior members came out to greet them.
"Master Li, this Black Knight Gang is too excessive, as soon as we arrived in Chuyun County city, they annihilated the Zhang Family, occupied the Zhang Family’s Dock Castle, and were extremely aggressive towards us local martial forces, causing unbearable sufferings to Chuyun County’s citizens, countless residents harbor deep resentment towards the Black Knight Gang... Their crimes are truly indescribable."
The Hong Family Master, Hong Yangyuan, quickly listed the grievances against the Black Knight Gang.
"Hong Family Master, how come I saw it was people from your Hong Family Manor impersonating the Black Knight Gang, committing evil acts, oppressing the common folk; you aren’t trying to shift the blame onto the Black Knight Gang, are you?"
Li Qian didn’t drink the tea handed to him, tapping his fingers on the armrest of his chair, and spoke indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Hong Yangyuan, the Hong Family Master, revealed a shocked expression and quickly replied, "What? This must be their personal misconduct, our Hong Family Manor definitely does not condone such actions. Fortunately, young hero noticed, otherwise it would bring disgrace on our Hong Family Manor."
"Bring those few who impersonated the Black Knight Gang here and cane them eighty times, to serve as a warning to others."
Saying so, he suddenly commanded.
"Yes."
Immediately, law enforcement officers from the Hong Family Manor rushed out and dragged those three off.
"Master, spare us... we won’t dare anymore."
Followed by the thumping sounds of caning and the screams of those three.
But Li Qian’s eyes narrowed.
He was now basically sure that there must be something fishy going on.
The Divine Sword Sect is welcoming to martial forces that have migrated from other places... the reason is simple, due to the great war that continued for years, the martial forces within the territory of the Divine Sword Sect suffered heavy losses.
During that extensive conflict, many martial powers were annihilated.
After all, when the Luo Wang Mansion rebel forces attacked the Divine Sword Sect, it wasn’t just the Divine Sword Sect that suffered, but also many martial forces on their territory.
The Divine Sword Sect wants to quickly restore the martial power on their territory, so they thought of absorbing martial forces from other provinces of Tai Xing Dao sovereign nation.
Especially after the He Family arrived from the Tai Xing Dao sovereign nation, acting in a domineering manner, utterly disregarding the local martial forces, brutally exploiting them, favoring those who complied, and decimating those who resisted... many forces were forced to flee.
During this period, numerous forces migrated to the territory of the Divine Sword Sect.
The Black Knight Gang was one of them.
These migrating forces had more or less connections with the Xuanming Sect and Purple Cloud Sect... but both those powers had already perished.
The Divine Sword Sect naturally wouldn’t strike these mid-sized martial forces anymore.
At this time, someone rushed into the main hall, "Master, not good, the Black Knight Gang is escaping."
"What?"
Hearing this, Hong Yangyuan suddenly stood up and hastily said to Li Qian, "Master Li, the Black Knight Gang must have gotten the news of your arrival, so they want to flee, please look out for the many martial forces and citizens of Chuyun County who have suffered under the Black Knight Gang."
How could the three big families let the Black Knight Gang escape after planning for so long?
A remnant martial power that once produced a Grandmaster is definitely a juicy target, and it would be atrocious to let the Black Knight Gang escape.
The three big families, lacking full confidence to take down the Black Knight Gang, can only ask for a master from the Divine Sword Sect to make a move.
After annihilating the Black Knight Gang, then proceed to split the spoils fifty-fifty.
This Master Li would probably be very willing to.
