Chapter 216

"Sect Master Xiao, wait."

Gu Hanyuan changed the surname he used to address Qiao Feng, but the title of Sect Master remained unchanged.

"Brother Gu, what do you have to say?"

Xiao Feng respected Gu Hanyuan, who had let him know the whole truth, the most, and at this moment, seeing him speak, to show closeness, he also called him "Brother Gu."

"I believe that the Song and Liao Kingdoms are currently weak and are natural allies. Sect Master Xiao's identity as a Khitan is not a hindrance, but should be an asset. With the status your father had during his lifetime, it would be easy to gain a voice in the Liao court; wouldn't it be better to lead a Song-Liao alliance then? And with the status of Northern Beggar Sect Master, both the Song and Liao Kingdoms will trust you more, and Sect Master Xiao can completely become a bridge for dialogue between Song and Liao."

Gu Hanyuan glanced at Huang Rong before saying this.

Huang Rong also saw the meaning of this glance, knowing that he said this for her sake.

If Song and Liao allied, the greatest benefit would be Xiangyang City, and it could even liberate her from pressure from then on.

Xiao Feng, after hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, was indeed shaken by the expectant eyes of the Northern Beggar Sect members, but his parents were killed by Han people, so it was impossible to say he had no resentment in his heart.

In the end, he still indicated that he wanted to avenge his parents first, and politely declined Gu Hanyuan's suggestion.

Gu Hanyuan, upon hearing this, walked back to Huang Rong's side and said softly:

"Lady Guo, I have done my best."

"I know, thank you."

Huang Rong's face was gloomy, her eyes lowered, looking burdened with worries.

Huang Rong naturally knew that Gu Hanyuan had done his best, but listening to his self-address, she could not stop feeling sad in her heart.

Having spent a long time with Gu Hanyuan, she had already learned his habits.

When he addressed himself as "Gu Mou," he was generally facing strangers or those in a hostile stance.

When he addressed himself as "Zai Xia," it was with respect mixed with distance.

Only when he addressed himself as "I" was he truly facing someone close.

When she looked up and met Gu Hanyuan's eyes, the sadness in her eyes seemed to make him misunderstand.

Gu Hanyuan suddenly showed an ugly expression that would never appear on weekdays, gritted his teeth and said:

"Lady Guo, I will help you one last time."

Saying this, he walked back into the field.

"Hanyuan! What are you going to do!"

Huang Rong felt a sense of foreboding when she saw Gu Hanyuan's expression, and she could not care about exposing the intimate address in front of everyone, shouting.

Everyone looked in surprise at Gu Hanyuan, who had suddenly walked back into the field.

"Sect Master Xiao, do you know what will happen after you leave the Northern Beggar Sect?"

Xiao Feng did not understand.

Gu Hanyuan drew his Hero Sword and pointed it at the Beggar Sect members.

"Just like this, I have long heard of the great name of the Northern Beggar Sect, and today I want to challenge you all."

The Beggar Sect members were startled by Gu Hanyuan's actions, completely not expecting such a development.

"Brother Gu, what are you doing?"

Xiao Feng never expected Gu Hanyuan to come into conflict with the Northern Beggar Sect.

Although he did not intend to continue as the Northern Beggar Sect Master, it did not mean he had no feelings for the Northern Beggar Sect.

"Heh, without Xiao Feng, the Northern Beggar Sect is just a second-rate sect; what qualifications do you have to make me take you seriously?"

Once these words were spoken, the Northern Beggar Sect members were immediately annoyed.

The most impatient elder, Wu Changfeng, said angrily:

"Young Master Gu, we respect you for clarifying the truth for Sect Master Xiao, but that does not mean you can insult our Northern Beggar Sect."

"Heh, insult? Today I will learn the high moves of the Northern Beggar Sect."

Gu Hanyuan said, and rushed into the crowd of the Beggar Sect.

"Hanyuan! Don't!"

Huang Rong had already understood his intention when Gu Hanyuan said those provocative words.

She did not expect Gu Hanyuan to use such a provocative way to force Xiao Feng not to leave the Northern Beggar Sect.

Because the Apricot Forest Assembly was of great importance, there were hundreds of Northern Beggar Sect disciples gathered here.

If the few elders could not deal with Gu Hanyuan, they would definitely organize into a Dog-Beating Array to attack him.

But Gu Hanyuan could not kill people, otherwise it would get out of hand.

Without killing anyone, defeating hundreds of people, how was that different from seeking death?

Of course, Gu Hanyuan was actually not worried about this.

Although the Dog-Beating Array was indeed very powerful when there were many people, how could it compare to a military formation?

Moreover, Gu Hanyuan's true cultivation was in the Grandmaster Realm, he had the immortal cultivation skill "Yin-Yang Art," his internal strength was deep and he was not afraid of consumption in a short time, he had the best lightness skill in the world, and the divine weapon Hero Sword in his hand broke people's weapons as if it were nothing.

When he only defeated Fei Bin and the others at the Golden Basin Hand-Washing Assembly and the Songshan Sect backed down, Gu Hanyuan had some regrets.

With such a big scene, when would he farm reputation if not now?

Xiao Feng wanted to stop him, but unfortunately Gu Hanyuan would not listen to him at all.

Gu Hanyuan had already rushed into the crowd, first splitting the big knife in Wu Changfeng's hand with one sword, then cutting off the iron chain connecting Chen Guyan's three-section staff, and the two elders Xi and Song could not even get close before losing their weapons and falling to the ground.

Even Quan Guanqing, who tried to hide as far back as possible, was kicked by Gu Hanyuan and flew out.

Bai Shijing also did not last a few moves in his hands before the Hero Sword was held against his neck, and he dared not move.

In the blink of an eye, the four great elders plus Quan Guanqing and Bai Shijing were cleanly defeated.

Gu Hanyuan's martial arts made them feel horrified; it was strength not weaker than Xiao Feng's.

Quan Guanqing saw the clues at this time, knowing that Gu Hanyuan would not kill, so he decided to use human wave tactics.

"Beggar Sect disciples, obey orders! The time to maintain the prestige of the Northern Beggar Sect has come, form the Dog-Beating Array, take down this arrogant fellow!"

Huang Rong saw that, as expected, the Northern Beggar Sect used the sect-protecting formation, the Dog-Beating Array.

If it weren't for the threat of the Dog-Beating Array, she would not be worried about Gu Hanyuan's safety at all.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes narrowed, and he did not care about Bai Shijing, who had been let go.

Waving the Hero Sword, he used the "Inexplicable Sword Art" and killed his way into the Dog-Beating Array.

Flashing and moving, he broke bamboo sticks and kicked beggars.

Even if the Dog-Beating Array was exquisite, it could not withstand the sharpness of the Hero Sword. ===== CHAPTER 218 =====
