Chapter 12

In the cold wind, Qian Chen shrank his head and brain, like a dejected quail.

One of Liang Dou's disciples swept his eyes outside before entering the door, saw Qian Chen's appearance, grinned, and walked into the main gate without caring at all.

"I am Bai Yuanliang, the Iron Fist of Guanxi, and these are my two little disciples..." A middle-aged man dressed simply smiled all over his face, nodding and bowing to the Four Seas Hall disciples outside the corner gate. The two disciples following him, one wooden and one dull, looked more like two rural farmers than martial arts people. The disciple impatiently flipped through the roster in his hand.

"There is indeed a person like you... Please come in!" After saying that, he opened the corner gate and let Bai Yuanliang bring his two disciples in.

After entering the door, naturally, someone led them to settle down...

"Even entering the corner gate requires an identity!" Qian Chen lowered his head and rubbed the ground with his feet. He had no identity now. Should he... just disguise himself as the divine doctor Qi Qiuzi?

"Not appropriate, not appropriate. Although I have the real Qi Qiuzi in my hands, this kind of famous identity that everyone pays attention to with every move is not so easy to disguise. Moreover, the Dragon Head knows the true identity of all Yuan Chen. Now the one most likely to see through the disguise of the God-Lord of Mist-Riding is that mysterious Dragon Head."

"But it's impossible for the Dragon Head not to secretly pay attention to the real identities of the Twelve Yuan Chen. In this way, the possibility of my disguise as Qi Qiuzi being exposed is infinitely large."

Qian Chen thought carefully, weighing the pros and cons. Now he could only rely on this identity to become famous and be invited into the Four Seas Hall. The fastest way was to find a famous Jianghu hero on the street, defeat him with a hand of excellent martial arts, and naturally, his reputation would spread.

This is also the fastest and most common way for unknown people in the martial arts world without anyone to carry them.

Every year, many old seniors are challenged and beaten up by juniors. This is how the new generation replaces the old. This is the Jianghu!

It's a pity that Qian Chen doesn't want to do this... He wants to prepare a cleaner identity to facilitate his subsequent actions.

"Also... the Twelve Yuan Chen's surprise attack on the Four Seas Hall this time requires everyone to offer a 'meeting gift' to render the cruel and terrifying image of the Twelve Yuan Chen and lay the groundwork for the layout behind. The meeting gift thought up by the God-Lord of Mist-Riding is, of course, to poison a few famous experts today, or even poison all the cats, dogs, cows, and horses in the Four Seas Hall, rendering an atmosphere where no chickens or dogs are left."

"Now, of course, I can't do that. But if the God-Lord of Mist-Riding doesn't make a move, it might arouse the suspicion of other Yuan Chen, which is unfavorable to the God-Lord of Mist-Riding I am impersonating later."

Qian Chen's thoughts turned rapidly, and he soon thought of a way.

He smiled cunningly and muttered in his stomach: "Little guys, I'm sorry!"

He immediately took action and acted according to the law...

The gate of the Four Seas Hall was bustling with people coming and going, still very lively. But although the scene was noisy, it was solemn in the midst of the noise. Inside the main altar, the atmosphere was strict, and the guards were tight. The guests who came had high status and strong strength, and there were many idle people, but everything was in order and showed no flaws. That's why the Twelve Yuan Chen had to prepare a 'meeting gift' to create chaos to break this situation.

At this moment, the auspicious peace was soon broken by a scream...

Although the guards of the Four Seas Hall were alarmed, they still acted in an orderly manner and approached the place where the scream came from. Soon, a series of screams from the womenfolk sang out one after another... The disciples of the Four Seas Hall responsible for guarding acted one after another, and the guests at the gate also looked sideways one after another.

They immediately saw a strange scene they had never seen in their lives...

Countless large gray rats ran together, crowding from every corner of the Four Seas Hall, gathering into a wriggling gray tide, rushing out toward the gate of the Four Seas Hall. The sudden rat tide caused a great chaos in the crowd. Many people were dumbfounded. Those rats were fat and large, making people wonder how much good food they had eaten from the Four Seas Hall to grow like this.

The disciples guarding the gate were about to kill them and trample the rats to death.

They were immediately stopped by the red-faced man who had just welcomed them out of the gate: "Today is the day of the sect master's great joy. Do you want the gate of the main hall to be littered with corpses?"

After saying that, the red-faced man operated his true qi and said loudly: "Sect Master Hong Sihai has a long life and shakes all directions. The rat generation flees!"

The buzzing sound echoed, suppressing the discussions of the guests, showing a very strong internal qi.

Soon, someone who knew how to flatter said: "Yes! Old Hall Master Hong has been chivalrous all his life, making the rat generation lose their courage, pacifying the chaos of the Demon Sect, and suppressing the plots of the green forest. Today is his great birthday, and the rats fleeing in front of the Four Seas Hall is exactly an auspicious sign!"

So a group of Jianghu people and visiting guests said one after another: "It is indeed an auspicious sign!"

"The rats fleeing, doesn't it just match the appearance of the Demon Sect disappearing and the remnants fleeing back then..."

Everyone tried to cheer up, but although the red-faced man had a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes at all. He just scanned the guests very covertly, seeming to want to find out who was making trouble.

At this moment, even more absurd things happened. The rat tide outside the gate, with countless gray fur balls wriggling, suddenly shed their gray fur, and countless rat hairs flew. Those fat rats actually shed their fur together, revealing white skin and flesh, one by one white-skinned rats squeezed together, the scene was absurd and made people laugh.

This strange event that had never happened in ancient times made everyone stunned, not knowing how to change their words to make up for it.

Not just rats, the same flies and stink bugs in the Four Seas Hall were flying out. Often, as soon as they flew out of the Four Seas Hall's courtyard, they fell to the ground, and dense insect corpses paved the ground outside the Four Seas Hall.

"It's poison!" Qian Chen picked up a fat rat under the eyes of everyone, observed it carefully without any disgust, and concluded: "Someone poisoned them, drove these rat and insect swarms to flee out of the Four Seas Hall, and then the poison broke out, causing the rat swarms to shed their fur and the insect swarms to die. This poison only broke out for the first time. When it breaks out again, these rats will crazily attack all living things they can see, and finally die of exhaustion!"

Tang Da, the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Tang Sect, also walked out of the Four Seas Hall after hearing this and came to the rat swarm to check carefully.

He also nodded and admitted Qian Chen's view: "It is indeed someone who poisoned them."

The red-faced man came to Tang Da and said in a low voice: "Great Master, today is the sect master's birthday. I can't afford to be responsible for such a thing! Please help..."

Tang Da frowned and shook his head: "I can't solve this poison."

"He can poison all the rats in the Four Seas Hall, poison all the flying insects, and he can also poison everyone here. This person is afraid that he is the most vicious poison expert in the world today." Tang Da said with an ugly face: "He poisoned all the flying insects here, and then he wants to poison all the rats here. These rats shedding all their fur is him provoking you."

"He wants the Four Seas Hall to have no grass growing, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!"
