Chapter 125: The Young Master's Accomplishment

Cave of Wood!"Gold, representing unwavering progress and unstoppable force, is therefore the fourth attribute of my celestial cave!"……"Fire, burning fiercely, illuminating everything, consuming heaven...These nearly thousand cultivators were originally furious at Luo Lingxiao's actions of taking Jiang Yun away without a word after his appearance, but they dared not speak out.

As Luo Lingxiao said, this Nanzhang City belongs to the Luo Family!

They are all cultivators who do not belong to Nanshen City or the Luo family. The principle that a strong dragon does not press down on a local snake is understood by anyone, let alone them. After all, they are not even strong dragons; they are merely the lowest tier of cultivators in the world.

However, Xia Zhongxing's words now struck them like a boulder dropped into their hearts, causing ripples and waves.

Yes, since the Luo family can arbitrarily arrest Gu Jiang today, then tomorrow they can just as easily arrest all cultivators who are not part of the Luo family!

"If Young Master Luo has already captured Master Gu and our eldest brother, why not take my younger brothers as well!"

Just then, two voices rose from both sides almost simultaneously, and two burly men with angry faces appeared before the crowd.

They are naturally the two brothers of the red-robed strongman, they were just not here a moment ago, and now they have just arrived!

"Loyalty and deep brotherhood, are we" Luo Lingxiao's face was even more sarcastic, he coldly said: "Then this young master will fulfill you, take him away!"

Before the Luo family cultivators could step forward and apprehend the two burly men, the earth suddenly trembled slightly, as if an earthquake were about to occur. This caused everyone to involuntarily turn their heads towards the direction from which the sound came.

On both ends of Xiu Yuan Street, countless cultivators were running at full speed right now. A sea of heads, at least a thousand strong, pressed towards the center.

Though these cultivators hadn't arrived yet, their voices had already reached us first.

Since Young Master Luo has already captured Old Master Gu and the Song brothers, why not capture us as well!

"As for me, I'm not from the Luo family either. Instead of living in fear, waiting for the Luo family to arbitrarily arrest me one day, I might as well be arrested with Master Gu now. At least I'll have company!"

"Yes, please also allow us to be taken away together with Young Master Luo!"

One by one, the voices came from the mouths of these thousands of cultivators, echoing over Xiu Yuan Street, over Nanxing City, and even resounding in Luo Lingxiao's ears.

Looking at these cultivators, even Jiang Yun's face showed a hint of astonishment. However, as his gaze swept over each cultivator's face one by one, his astonishment gradually gave way to a smile.

Because, he knows all these thousands of faces!

Because, these thousands of cultivators were the ones he had treated during this period!

At this very moment, although I don't know why they are here, their purpose is clear: to protect themselves!

The sound of thousands upon thousands, finally shattered the last vestiges of hesitation in the hearts of the thousand cultivators queuing.

They were still deliberating whether to stand up and support Jiang Yun, but now they didn't need to consider it!

"I am not a cultivator from the Luo family, please spare me, young master Luo, and let me go!"

"Young Master Luo, show mercy and take all of us away!"

At this moment, the dozen or so cultivators from the Luo family had already turned pale, their faces contorted with terror. As for Luo Lingxiao, his expression was grim to the extreme.

He never imagined that things would escalate to this point today.

When he first received this mission, he thought the head of the household was making a mountain out of a molehill. He felt that capturing a shop clerk didn't require the young master to go there himself.

Now he understands!

He underestimated the ancient ginger, he underestimated Xia Zhongxing, and even more so, he underestimated all the cultivators who were not from his Luo family gathered here at this moment.

Although he really wanted to take all the cultivators in front of him away, he also knew that it was impossible.

Because there are nearly two thousand monks here!

Two thousand cultivators, even if they were all at the Tongmai Realm and utterly destitute, would still be a force to be reckoned with that no sect could afford to underestimate when gathered together.

If Luo Lingxiao really did that, it could even shake the very foundation of his Luo family, jeopardizing the prosperous business they had painstakingly built over the years.

This Nāngxīng City, although it belongs to the Ló family, its fundamental development still relies on these cultivators who don't belong to the Ló family!

Once others knew, the Luo family would randomly arrest cultivators within Nánxīng City. Then who would be willing to come to Nánxīng City

"Now, Young Master Luo, you have two choices!" Xia Zhongxing spoke again slowly. "The first is to arrest all of us; the second is to tell us, right in front of us, why you want to arrest Gu Jiang!"

“I can assure Young Master Luo that as long as your reason for apprehending Gu Jiang is reasonable, I will not only not obstruct you, but will even lend a hand in capturing him!”

Luo Lingxiao fell silent!

Given his personality and status, he certainly wouldn't want to speak up. Because once he did, it would be like slapping himself in the face.

After all, he just said that Nánxīng City belongs to his Lóu family. There's no need for a reason to arrest someone.

However, the gaze of nearly two thousand pairs of eyes had already generated a heavy pressure. Not to mention him, even if the head of the Luo family were here, it would be difficult to bear.

After a long silence, Luo Lingxiao finally spoke in a cold voice: "Master Du Guirong of Baicao Tang died last night outside Nanxing City. The killer is unknown at present. Since Gu Jiang had a dispute with Du Guirong over alchemy some time ago and is suspected, I will take him back!"

Upon hearing Luo Lingxiao's explanation, everyone was astonished. Even Xia Zhongxing's face showed a look of shock as he said, "Master Du Guirong is actually dead! How did he die"

After saying that, Xia Zhongxing suddenly froze again. He said slowly, word by word: "Your Luo family suspects that Gu Jiang killed Master Du"

Luo Lingxiao didn't speak again, just coldly watched Xia Zhongxing, while Xia Zhongxing couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head: "Young Master Luo, let alone whether Gu Jiang has the ability to kill Master Du, if Master Gu really died last night, then I can prove that the murderer was definitely not Gu Jiang!"

"Because ancient ginger, last night, didn't leave the Medicine Pavilion even a single step!"

Ginger Cloud suddenly raised her head, taking a long look at Xia Zhongxing, and then at Xia Shi who had been silent all along.

"What use is your proof!" Luo Lingxiao sneered. "You are the shopkeeper of Duoyao Pavilion, and the shopkeeper of Gujiang. Everyone knows you are extremely protective of Gujiang and that helping him lie is not impossible."

Xia Zhongxing spread his hands and said, "Whose proof can be useful then"

"No one's proof matters! I will take Gu Jiang back to the Luo family. If he truly didn't kill Du Gui Rong, then he will naturally be released later!" Luo Lingxiao also said word by word: "Now, I've given my reason, shouldn't you let go now!"

"Still no good!" Xia Zhongxing still shook his head.

"You!" Luo Lingxiao's eyes were about to burst into flames, wishing he could slap Xia Zhongxing to death with one palm.

Xia Zhongxing, however, waved his hand dismissively and said: "Who knows what you will do to Gu Jiang after bringing him back to the Luo family You might torture him mercilessly and force him into a false confession!"

"Xia Zhongxing, don't be too much!"

Luo Lingxiao suddenly took a step forward, roared out loud, his neck veins bulging, clearly he was on the verge of exploding. He seemed to have no regard for anything and intended to strike recklessly.

However, just then, a voice came from afar, "Everyone calm down! Don't get riled up! Young Master, if you don't trust Mr. Xia's proof, then what about my proof Young Master, do you believe me"
