Chapter 918: He Has the Support of Dragon Breath

Furthermore, an investigation team was sent from above, specifically targeting the Pei Family Group for investigation; the Pei Family Bank has been frozen, dozens of official personnel are implicated, and the things the Pei Family has done over these years are gradually surfacing.

The amounts involved and the competitors eliminated by the Pei Family have already reached a shocking figure; this time, many people in Jinling are going to be in trouble.

Within the Tiance Sword Mansion sect.

In recent days, the nerves of Tiance Sword Mansion have been stretched tight; after all, that thing capable of turning people into puppets is still lurking in the surroundings, and as long as there is an opportunity, she will strike out and hurt people.

Moreover, in the last few days, they have received many pleas for help from Outer Sect Disciples, and quite a few Outer Sect Disciples have been lost, but now the main sect of Tiance Sword Mansion is already in a state of total chaos, so where would they have the time to care about Outer Sect Disciples?

"Senior Brother, something has happened to the Pei Family." Wang Zhonglou was sitting in meditation when He Mingshan rushed in from outside.

"What is the matter that you are so nervous?" Wang Zhonglou's brows locked, and he slowly raised his head.

In normal times, he would certainly have scolded his Junior Brother; having already reached the realm of a Half-step Dharma Cultivator, how could he still be so unsteady in his actions?

But given the things that have happened one after another in the sect in recent days, this caused his temper to be restrained quite a bit.

"The Pei Family has had an incident." He Mingshan said in a deep voice: "The Pei Family we supported in Jinling is finished, those related to the Pei Family are also finished, and this time it is a total uprooting; all the connections of the Pei Family have completely collapsed."

"What about Pei Yuan? Didn't I already plant people by their side long ago? If an incident occurred, they were to kill Pei Yuan directly." Wang Zhonglou barked.

"Pei Yuan... he was captured." He Mingshan had a look of difficulty: "Our people didn't have time to act; they were stopped by Chen Yu."

"Chen Yu, it's him again." Wang Zhonglou was furious; he struck a table with his palm, and the solid wood table in front of him instantly vaporized.

He paced back and forth in the room, saying angrily: "Does he really think that our Tiance Sword Mansion cannot spare the hands to teach him a lesson now?"

"We underestimated Chen Yu in the past, and this time Chen Yu has come with ill intent; behind him, there must be official tacit approval." He Mingshan steadied himself and said: "Senior Brother, this time, I am afraid the Heaven War Pavilion is going to make a move."

"Dragon Breath, Heaven War Pavilion!" Wang Zhonglou stopped his footsteps abruptly; he turned his head and stared fixedly at He Mingshan, saying: "Is your news true?"

"It should be correct; this news was leaked from Dragon Breath. Senior Brother, they are going to move against us." He Mingshan said.

"Dragon Breath is going to move against us? Are they crazy? Don't they know what status we have now? If they move against us, it will cause a huge sensation." Wang Zhonglou said through gritted teeth.

"But the news I received is just this. Senior Brother, our actions over these years have already incited the wrath of heaven and the resentment of men, so it is only reasonable that they move against us. Now what we need to do is think of a way to protect ourselves." He Mingshan said through gritted teeth.

"Protect ourselves..." Wang Zhonglou walked to the window, and with his hands behind his back, he said: "Then call the Three Sects Six Schools Twelve Gates all here to discuss the matter."

"We are still the head of Xuanwu Pavilion, commanding the Jiangnan Martial Arts World; I don't believe that if everyone comes out to make a scene, they, Dragon Breath, can still wipe us all out?" Wang Zhonglou sneered.

"Senior Brother, I have already sent people to carry the Xuanwu Order to call them over to discuss matters; I believe that before noon, they will all receive the news and come." He Mingshan said.

Wang Zhonglou's expression stiffened; he slowly turned around and stared at He Mingshan: "Without my order, who let you take it upon yourself to make decisions?"

"The situation is urgent, there was no time to report." He Mingshan sighed and said: "Senior Brother, I have no intention of contending for anything, it is just that our Tiance Sword Mansion has a hundred years of heritage and cannot be destroyed because of this."

"Then you must also understand the rules; let this not happen again." Wang Zhonglou snorted coldly.

Currently, their Sect Leader Duan Tianming has been in closed-door cultivation, and all matters, large and small, in the sect are controlled by Wang Zhonglou.

He Mingshan doing this was somewhat overstepping his authority, which made Wang Zhonglou feel threatened.

"Yes, I understand, Senior Brother." He Mingshan's expression was somewhat ugly.

"Elder, the disciple who went out this morning to distribute the Xuanwu Order has returned." Just at this moment, a disciple hurried over to report.

"How did the Six Schools and Twelve Gates respond? Can they arrive at our Tiance Sword Mansion before noon to discuss matters?" Wang Zhonglou asked.

"Elder..." The disciple's expression was somewhat hesitant, not knowing whether to say the following words.

"What happened? Speak, why are you stammering?" Wang Zhonglou suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Yes, Elder, the sect's messenger disciples went to the Six Schools and Twelve Gates in Jinling early this morning to issue the Xuanwu Order and summon them to come, but among the Six Schools, three schools refused to come, and two school leaders closed their doors and would not see anyone."

"Among the Twelve Gates, there was even less response to our Xuanwu Order; now that the Xuanwu Order has been sent out, almost no one is responding..." The disciple's expression was panicked.

"What? They actually do not obey the summons of the Xuanwu Order?" Both Elders' expressions changed drastically.

Wang Zhonglou was even more furious: "They have rebelled! I will go out now, go to their mountain gates one by one; I want to see who dares not to obey our Xuanwu Order."

"Senior Brother, do not be agitated; ask about the situation clearly before deciding." He Mingshan was still relatively steady; he shouted in a deep voice: "They did not obey the summons of the Xuanwu Order; did they say any reason?"

"They did not say any reason, but now it is widely rumored outside that the Heaven War Pavilion is going to move against us, so... not only the Six Schools and Twelve Gates, but even the two sects that are on par with us are making frequent moves."

"Even our own disciples are in a state of panic. Elders, you should go out and dispel the rumors." The disciple said with a panicked expression, trembling slightly.

Wang Zhonglou's expression was furious; suddenly, he struck out with a palm in the air, sending the disciple who came to report flying.

Pfft... The disciple spat out a mouthful of blood, then he fell to the ground with a thud, and it looked like he was unconscious.

"Dispel rumors? Our Tiance Sword Mansion is the number one martial arts sect in the world; does this little matter want to stump our Tiance Sword Mansion? Don't say it's just the support of a mere Heaven War Pavilion; even if the Heaven War Pavilion came in person, they shouldn't even think about moving us in the slightest."

"Senior Brother, why did you hurt your own sect disciple?" He Mingshan was outraged.

"Hmph, now the sect is in a precarious situation; if I don't kill a few to stabilize the hearts of the people, Tiance Sword Mansion will face an even greater crisis. I am going now to wake up the Sect Leader Senior Brother to discuss countermeasures."

Wang Zhonglou said, turning and leaving.

Tiance Sword Mansion, on a Lone Peak.

Wang Zhonglou stood in front of the mountain; he had already released the sect's contact signal. Sect Leader Duan Tianming was in closed-door cultivation here and had not left the Lone Peak for decades.
