Chapter 132 is all about experience!
"We have no connection with the Ning family anymore!" Ning Ze said calmly, looking at Zheng Mang.
"Wasn't the lesson I gave you before enough?"
Zheng Mang narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected that Ning Ze, now a stray dog, would still dare to be so arrogant in front of him.
Although they already knew that after Zhuo Qingyun crippled his right hand, Ning Ze's martial arts skills not only did not decline, but he also practiced left-handed swordsmanship and even stepped into the Grandmaster realm, this time, their Zheng family had a Grandmaster come to Yunzhou to preside over the affairs of the Zhenwu Hall.
"A stray dog dares to bark at me?"
The wandering swordsmen dining at the Yuelai Inn, witnessing this scene, all tacitly stepped back.
Anyone with a little experience in the martial arts world knows that if two masters are about to fight, it's best not to get involved, or you might be the one who suffers!
Moreover, these people kept mentioning the Zheng and Ning families of Zhenwu Hall.
The Zhenwu Hall is quite famous in the martial arts world, and people in the martial arts world know a lot about the five major families of the Zhenwu Hall.
Swish!
A sword light appeared; it was Ning Wanqing who made the move.
Since the Zheng family has chosen to kick us when we're down, and their identities have been recognized, we might as well strike first.
During this period, Ning Wanqing's swordsmanship has improved greatly. With each strike, it is like a rushing river, flowing for thousands of miles. In an instant, more than a dozen sword lights emerge in the inn, covering all of Zheng Mang's vital points and penetrating every crevice.
"Humph!"
Zheng Mang snorted coldly.
Clang!
The sword at his waist was drawn.
Suddenly, a blade of light appeared amidst the sword light, and in an instant, the blade and sword light collided.
Bang bang bang!
Sword and saber energy emanated from them, shattering the tables, chairs, and benches around them into pieces.
Although Ning Wanqing's swordsmanship has improved significantly, Zheng Mang is, after all, the number one among the younger generation of the Zheng family. His martial arts have long been at the peak of the fifth rank, and his internal strength is far beyond what Ning Wanqing can compare to.
After forcing Ning Wanqing back with a single strike, a ruthless glint flashed in Zheng Mang's eyes, and he slashed out with his longsword once more.
Swish!
A sharp blade of energy shot straight at Ning Wanqing's face.
clang!
Ning Ze shattered the blade's energy with a single, gentle strike of his sword.
Linghu Baiwan looked at Zheng Songwen, the Grandmaster of the Zheng family behind Zheng Mang, and said coldly:
"Brother Zheng, we've worked together at the Zhenwu Hall for so long, are you going to attack me today too?"
Zheng Songwen shook his head and smiled:
“I also do not want to fight Brother Linghu, but you disobeyed the imperial court’s orders, forcibly stood up for your disciple, and injured many brothers of Zhenwu Hall.”
"I happened to run into Brother Linghu today. If I don't bring you back, I won't be able to face the court or the Zhenwu Hall brothers who were injured by you."
Normally, he wouldn't dare to take on Linghu Baiwan, a renowned Grandmaster of the Third Rank, all by himself. But now, Linghu Baiwan is seriously injured, and it would be good if he could only unleash 60% of his martial arts skills.
Who doesn't enjoy kicking a dog when it's down?
Hey!
A commotion arose from the crowd watching from afar.
"So these two are both from the Zhenwu Hall. It seems that this Linghu is the one who betrayed the Zhenwu Hall?"
"Heh... You've never heard of Linghu Baiwan? He's the head of the Zhenwu Hall in Yongzhou. His disciple was crippled by Zhuo Qingyun, the prodigy of Yunzhou!"
"You're back the pride of Yunzhou! Zhuo Qingyun's grave is already overgrown with weeds!"
"What the hell..."
The atmosphere inside the Yue Lai Inn was tense, while outside, the verbal dispute almost escalated into a physical fight.
"Brother Zheng, it's none of your Zheng family's business to meddle in the affairs of my Ning family."
Just then, an aged voice came from the crowd.
Zheng Songwen looked at the person who spoke, his brows furrowing slightly.
Ning Xianyuan, the most skilled martial artist in the Ning family!
Peak of the Third Grade Grandmaster!
Although he did not make it onto the Grandmaster list, his martial arts skills might even surpass those of Linghu Baiwan.
Zheng Songwen said in a deep voice:
"Brother Ning, what do you mean by this?"
"They are the people the imperial court needs!"
"Furthermore, how many of my Zhenwu Hall members have been injured by them during this period? What do you mean by this? Are you going to let them go?"
Ning Xianyuan said calmly:
"They didn't violate any imperial laws; they just met people they shouldn't have. If I had left the pass at that time, I would never have allowed the Ning family to do such a thing!"
After speaking, Ning Xianyuan looked at Ning Ze and his sister, and sighed:
"Let's go!"
"You can't go back to the Ning family now. In the future, you siblings will still have to support each other in the martial world!"
Ning Ze remained motionless, while Ning Wanqing wore a cold smile.
Linghu Baiwan said calmly:
"Ning Xianyuan, stop pretending."
"When Ze'er was crippled, you didn't go into seclusion, but you didn't utter a single word. Now you're pretending to be a good person?"
"Although you tried your best to conceal it when you fought me and did not use your Ning family's martial arts, I have been traveling the martial world for so many years. Do you think I can't even see through your little martial arts style?"
"You drove us all the way to Yunzhou just to wait for Xiao Bieli to show up?"
"Although we don't know who the expert who has been following us is, it seems you overestimate the status of these brother and sister in Xiao Bieli's heart!"
As Linghu Baiwan finished speaking...
Wow!
An uproar erupted around the inn!
'Demon Blade' Xiao Bieli!
The man who single-handedly destroyed the Giant Spirit Gang, one of the six major gangs in the world!
The youngest second-rank Celestial Being in the entire martial arts world!
These three were actually bait to lure Xiao Bieli into a trap?
Ning Xianyuan's face turned ugly.
Zheng Songwen trembled and his face turned deathly pale.
Since Ning Xianyuan and his group's purpose in coming here is to use Linghu Baiwan and his group to lure out Xiao Bieli, it must not be the Ning family's doing.
He is at least a second-grade Celestial Being... or even a first-grade ancestor!
But they ruined all of this!
Ruined!
Three words flashed through his mind!
at this time,
The onlookers also realized what was happening.
Since the goal is to deal with 'Demon Blade' Xiao Bieli, there must be a peerless master, renowned throughout the martial arts world, hiding in the shadows.
“Although Xiao Bieli values loyalty, he cannot sacrifice his life for a friend he is not very familiar with!” Ning Wanqing looked at Ning Xianyuan and said coldly.
As soon as Ning Wanqing finished speaking, a young voice came from inside the Yuelai Restaurant.
"Ning Wanqing, you still don't quite understand me!"
"Everyone in Manzhou knows that I, Xiao Bieli, value loyalty above all else. I am known as the 'Little Mengchang' for my kind heart. How could I not come when you are in trouble because of me?"
"Besides, this is all experience!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a handsome young man in a black outfit sitting by the window on the first floor of the Yuelai Inn.
"Xiao...Xiao Farewell!"
Zheng Mang was standing not far from Xiao Bieli, and he recognized Xiao Bieli the moment he saw the young man in black.
As the leading figure among the younger generation of the Zheng family, he had naturally seen the portrait of 'Demon Blade' Xiao Bieli.
However, he felt that even if a master painter were to create the portrait, it would only capture two or three parts of Xiao Bieli's charm.
Let alone the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, even those on the Grandmaster Ranking or Great Grandmaster Ranking would probably feel inferior to Xiao Bieli if they met him in their youth.
Ning Wanqing's pretty face flushed slightly.
She automatically ignored Xiao Bieli's last words!
