Chapter 43 Refusing to Take the Position

Inside the stone house, Wu Yan sat cross-legged on the stone bed, looking at Zhang Tangzhu with a wooden face. Zhang Tangzhu brought Zhang Tao and stood not far from the bed in the stone house. Zhang Tao looked embarrassed, but Zhang Tangzhu looked eager.

At this time, the four swords of Gushan had been sent away by Wu Yan. After watching the four people chop up the bodies of the Wang brothers and bury them, Wu Yan was relieved about the four people. Then he used both kindness and force again, and then ordered them to do a few things and sent them away.

The reason why Wu Yan did not drive Zhang Tao away was that he found that Zhang Tangzhu had always shown a hint of fanaticism in his eyes since he saw him kill Wang Bai and poison Wang Feng in a few breaths, and seemed to have a big plan.

Wu Yan was a little curious about this. Zhang Tangzhu was supposed to be an old man of the Iron Sword Alliance, and he was also the head of the Inner Hall Law Enforcement Hall. Since he had a plan, he must know some confidential things. It just so happened that before Wu Yan left Gushan, he had some things to worry about, so he decided to keep him to ask.

Now he knew that this Zhang Hall Master was called Zhang Lang, and this name made Wu Yan speechless. Zhang Lang, it really sounded like a cockroach. A kind of nauseating bug. Wu Yan felt that seeing Zhang Lang's expression now was no different from seeing a cockroach.

"Zhang Hall Master, according to what you said, you are very angry that Li Ruoxu took your power? Do you think that I, Wu Yan, am a three-year-old child and can't understand your plan of killing someone with a borrowed knife or driving a tiger to swallow a wolf? Hehe, you really have a good plan. You know that I admire Zhang Tao very much, so you want to use me for this?" Wu Yan stared at Zhang Lang and sneered, not giving him face because he was Zhang Tao's second uncle.

Zhang Lang's old face flushed red, but he couldn't refute it. He didn't expect that Wu Yan, a fifteen-year-old boy, was so smart that he could even see this, and said it without giving face. He even felt that Wu Yan was a bit unfathomable, so much so that Wu Yan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, but he asked them to stand beside him, and he didn't care about some of the subtle mysteries.

"Second uncle, how could you do this? It's a pity that Wu Junior Brother gave you the antidote just now, which helped you get rid of the poison in your body." Zhang Tao shouted in dissatisfaction on the side.

After listening to his second uncle's plan just now, Zhang Tao felt a little embarrassed. In his impression, his second uncle has always been a hero who stands tall and upright, but he never thought that he would say such humble words behind his back, and what he said was a conspiracy. He, Zhang Tao, has always disdained conspiracy.

Just now, after Zhang Lang used the Qingling powder given by Wu Yan to get rid of the poison in his body, he followed Wu Yan to the valley with a shameless face. What made Wu Yan and Zhang Tao speechless was that Zhang Lang, who had always been taciturn and taciturn in front of outsiders, was actually a fluent and eloquent person. He resolved the crisis in a few words, and even almost got Wu Yan involved.

The Iron Sword Alliance has two inner halls and ten outer halls. The status of the inner hall master has always been the highest among the twelve hall masters. The two inner halls are the Law Enforcement Hall with Zhang Lang as the hall master, and the Deacon Hall with Wang Bo's master Zhao Zhang as the hall master. Just last month, Zhang Lang was discovered by Li Ruoxu because he was close to a deputy leader in private. Li Ruoxu found an excuse and promoted one of his confidants to replace Zhang Lang as the hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, but transferred Zhang Lang to the Wild Wolf Hall stationed in the Wild Wolf Valley as the hall master.

Zhang Lang tried to find Li Ruoxu for this several times, but Li Ruoxu used the excuse of retreating to practice several times and did not see him. Zhang Lang was completely panicked and realized that he was being ostracized.

Zhang Lang has been a member of the Iron Sword League for more than 30 years. He is also a direct descendant of the older generation of the Iron Sword League who withdrew from Yunzhou City. He was treated so unfairly that he naturally felt resentful. Of course, he also knew that if there was anyone in the league who could replace Li Ruoxu, it would probably be Elder Feng, the grandson of the founder of the Iron Sword League.

This morning, when he learned that Li Ruoxu had sent the Wang brothers and the Four Swords of Gushan to Qiancao Valley on official business, he felt something was wrong. He hurriedly came to Qiancao Valley to investigate the situation without even bringing anyone with him. On the way here, he happened to meet Zhang Tao, who had also heard about this and rushed here. The two of them came by coincidence, and they happened to run into the scene of the confrontation between the Wang brothers and Wu Yan.

Zhang Lang just made a suggestion to Wu Yan that he would help contact the old subordinates of the Feng family in the Iron Sword League, and at the same time contact the core disciples of the Iron Sword League who had been poisoned by chronic poisons due to taking the Qi Gathering Pill, looking for an opportunity to abolish Li Ruoxu. Of course, if Elder Feng can be found as soon as possible, it will be perfect.

Unfortunately, Wu Yan didn't seem to be interested in this.

"Master Zhang, I think you are confused because you want to get promoted?" Wu Yan sneered unceremoniously, "I heard that the Blood Rain Sect and the Dragon Tiger Gang have sent out a large number of elite disciples, and they are probably already in Qing County. Under the siege of these two gangs, do you think the Iron Sword League can still hold on? Only a fool would be the leader of a gang that is about to be slaughtered. I don't want to be this fool."

Zhang Lang showed a disapproving expression on his face, as if he didn't care about the Blood Rain Sect and the Dragon Tiger Gang attacking the Iron Sword League. It seems that he should be full of confidence that the Iron Sword League can defend Gushan.

"Wu Shaoxia, if you are worried about this, I think there is no need to be like this. Huh, I am not boasting. After thirty years of hard work by the older generation of direct disciples of this alliance, this small solitary mountain has a radius of hundreds of miles and can be said to be a piece of iron. Again. However, there are said to be several roads into the mountain, but in fact only one road is really smooth, which is the dangerous mountain road leading from the Yelang Valley Yixiantian Canyon, and the road leading to the core of the alliance is the same. There is only one necessary path, which is the second level that new disciples must pass - Buried Sword Valley. No matter which place they are, it is not easy to pass. Even with all the elites of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, there is no way they can break into the main arena. Even if there are some extremely skilled transformation masters who can break in, they are just taking risks alone, so what's the use?"

Zhang Lang's words were full of arrogance and confidence. It’s no wonder that since the Iron Sword Alliance has suffered a bloodbath by the Blood Rain Clan, Longhu Gang and other gangs, even if they are huddled in this small solitary mountain, I am afraid they will never forget the bloody lesson. They will definitely be in this group. A large number of precautionary measures have been deployed and history will never be allowed to repeat itself.

Thinking of this, Wu Yan couldn't help but his face moved, as if he remembered the uneasy feeling he felt when he broke through the second level and buried the sword valley. Is there any powerful mechanism that can stop the enemy in the Buried Sword Valley? If not, why would Zhang Lang look so confident?

"Oh, am I really worrying too much?" Wu Yan touched his chin and muttered to himself.

Seeing this, Zhang Lang chuckled from the side and continued to encourage with eloquent words: "Wu Shaoxia is so young and thinks so carefully and cautiously. With such means and magnanimity, he is definitely a person who can do great things. Why not take advantage of the opportunity to rise to the top?" Have a fight?"

Wu Yan's face moved slightly, showing a strange expression, and asked Zhang Lang: "Hall Master Zhang, what will be the result if an immortal master joins the two groups attacking the Iron Sword Alliance?"

"Immortal Master? Ah! This? How is this possible? Absolutely impossible!" Zhang Lang was originally full of confidence, but when he heard Wu Yan's words, he didn't react at first, and then after reacting, he showed that he would never dare His expression of belief and tone also changed to one of surprise and uncertainty, and as if he knew who the Immortal Master was, he shook his head and waved his hands in loud denial.

"Hall Master Zhang, why are you so excited? I was just talking about what would happen if an immortal master came. Besides, Hall Master Zhang, why are you so sure that no immortal master will follow them?"

Wu Yan is also eager to know about the immortal cultivators. Although he already knew something from Pharmacist Feng, his knowledge was still very limited. There are very few things related to immortal cultivators recorded in Pharmacist Feng's notes, and they are all very vague. Seeing Zhang Lang's expression, Wu Yan's heart moved slightly, as if he knew something, so he couldn't help but ask, with a curious expression on his face.
