"How dare you!"
"Where is this yellow-haired girl from, how dare she disrespect us?"
As expected, Xu Lei's words immediately drew the thunderous rage of those five powerful clan masters.
One of them, with icy eyebrows and cold eyes, waved his palm and prepared to teach the one who had spoken so wildly a lesson.
However, after seeing that it was a junior, he finally withdrew his hand.
"Hmph~"
"Since you are a young girl, we will not bother with you."
"Otherwise, based on your words alone, we could have punished you for your disrespect!"
Although these martial arts masters were somewhat old-fashioned, they were all very good-natured people after all.
They naturally did not yet care to teach a lesson to such a small character like Xu Lei.
"Is that so?"
"I only said a few words, and seniors want to cure me of disrespect."
"Then a few seniors have previously slandered and offended against the Wushuang Seal, so is it possible to cure you of disrespect as well?" Xu Lei was unafraid and coldly replied back.
"You~" those few old men were almost angry at Xu Lei's words, "What a sharp-tongued little girl!"
"What kind of person is that Ye Fan to you that you are so partial to him?"
"However, seeing that you are also of the age of fame, we, as elders, can remind you of this."
"That Ye Fan, has committed the great crime of collaborating with the enemy and committing treason."
"At times like this, you are advised to keep some distance from him."
"Otherwise, it will be too late to regret if you draw fire to yourself!"
"You are nonsense! My brother Xiaofan has acted with morality and righteousness in his life, there is no way he would do something to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, it must be because you are talking nonsense and treating my brother Xiaofan..." When she heard them falsely accuse Ye Fan, Xu Lei spoke angrily as if she were a cat with fried hair, trying hard to defend Ye Fan.
However, just as Xu Lei was arguing her case, Li Er and the others rushed over and pulled Xu Lei to the side.
"I say, General Xu, at times like this, you'd better say less."
"It's bad enough for us now that Miss Qiu is in trouble."
"If anything else happens to you, we won't be able to explain to Mr. Chu."
Li Er was terrified and could not stop advising.
At this time, Lu Tianhe seemed to recognise the people in front of him.
This great general, who was guarding one side of the city, hurried forward and greeted one of them with respect and dignity: "Patriarch Yan, what brings you to Jiangdong?"
"Why didn't you say so in advance."
"My junior Lu Tianhe, so I could have made some preparations earlier to do my part as a host."
Lu Tianhe said in a respectful voice.
Before he joined the military, Lu Tianhe was already a person of martial arts.
Later on, he was the instructor of the three armies, and he had been in and out of Yanjing for many years, so he naturally knew some famous figures in the martial arts world.
For example, the grey-robed old man in front of him was the current top of the ranking of masters, the helmsman of the Jiangnan Form Yi Sect, Yan Bu Ping.
Together with Lu Songliang of Jiangbei, he was known as Yan Buping of the South and Lu Lu of the North, and could be considered a famous figure.
However, unlike Lu Songliang's family, Yan Bu Ping is at the helm of a martial arts school.
He has been practising martial arts for many years and has no less than 3,000 disciples under his command.
Martial artists from all over the world who practise the Form of Yi Quan regard him as their respected teacher.
His reputation and prestige is even greater than that of Lu Songliang.
How could Lu Tianhe not know such a renowned figure?
However, just because Lu Tianhe knew him, it did not mean that people also knew Lu Tianhe.
Therefore, in the face of Lu Tianhe's obeisance, Yan Bu Ping, the leader of the Five Great Patriarchs, merely raised his eyebrows, "Lu Tianhe?"
"Never heard of it."
"Whose disciple are you?"
"Me~" The corners of Lu Tianhe's eyes twitched hard.
There was nothing more embarrassing in life than this, right?
He had run over to say hello, only to find out that he didn't know who you were.
Under the embarrassment, Lu Tianhe's 10,000 grass mud horses were racing past.
What the hell.
This old man was even better at pretending than Mr. Chu.
"That, back to Patriarch Yan, junior is..."
No matter how annoyed he was in his heart, Lu Tianhe introduced himself to the other party in a nice voice.
However, who had thought that before Lu Tianhe finished his side of the introduction, he was directly interrupted by Yan Bu Ping.
"Alright, we'll discuss who you are later."
"Seeing that you should be from Jiangdong, you are more familiar with the situation here than us."
"In this way, you go to Ye Fan right now, and tell him that the Martial God Hall has given instructions to come and be punished quickly!"
The words of Yan Bu Ping were majestic, and his low voice echoed in all directions.
Lu Tianhe's self-introduction that had just reached his mouth was immediately held back.
His old face was blue and white, very ugly.
Anyone who was in this situation would be as uncomfortable as Lu Tianhe, right?
It was like eating a fly.
Contempt!
This was a naked defiance of him, Lu Tianhe!
However, what could be done about it?
He was the number one person under the Yanxia Seal, and he was also a senior in the martial arts, and he was highly respected.
For this majesty of Yan Bu Ping, Lu Tianhe could only accept it.
However, it was impossible to ask him to send a message to Ye Fan.
Not to mention that Ye Fan was not in Yunzhou right now, even if he was, Lu Tianhe would not go to be this messenger.
"That, I'm sorry, Patriarch Yan."
"Mr. Chu is a pillar of the state and has a peerless seal."
"I, Lu Tianhe, am a man of few words, how dare I pass on such words to the Pillar of Peerlessness?"
"Since the Martial Hall is giving you instructions, it would be better for the few of you to personally go and deliver the message to Patriarch Wushuang." Lu Tianhe excused himself with a smile.
"Don't worry."
"Just say that you were instructed by the Martial God Hall to come and deliver the message."
"Even that Ye Fan will not dare to act rudely."
"Unless, he is bent on death." Yan Bu Ping thought that Lu Tianhe was afraid of Ye Fan's might and soothed him from the side.
In their opinion, even if Ye Fan was unruly and untamed, he would not dare to openly confront the Martial God Hall this time.
After all, it was Ye Fan who was unreasonable this time!
"It's better not to."
"You gods are fighting, so I, a mortal, won't participate." Lu Tianhe still pushed back.
"Hm?"
"I'm asking you one last time, are you going or not?"
Seeing Lu Tianhe repeatedly pushing back, Yan Bu Ping might have run out of patience.
His tone suddenly turned cold as he asked in a stern voice.
"Elder Yan, what are you bothering with them?"
"Poor mountains and evil waters produce unruly people!"
"In a place like Jiangdong, if one scum like Ye Fan can come out, a second one can come out."
"People with eyes like this, who have no pearls, are honest enough to be beaten up."
"Leave it to me, Ke Che, to teach such unruly people a lesson."
Beside him, an old man stepped out.
This man had a long beard, wore a pair of military cloth shoes, and had an unkempt appearance.
However, upon hearing Ke Che's name, Lu Tianhe in front of him trembled, and his old eyes glared huge.
"Ke... Ke Che?"
"Ke Che, who is ranked second on the Patriarch Ranking?"
"My goodness!"
"The second one has also arrived."
"Then the remaining three, could it be that they are all among the top five ranked on the Patriarch Ranking?"
Lu Tianhe had completely pissed himself in fear.
He had thought that these few people were only one heavyweight, Yan Bu Ping, and the remaining four, were all just making up the numbers.
Now, it seemed that he had underestimated the determination of the Martial God Hall this time.
"It seems that they are really going to flip-flop with Mr. Chu."
"Just to pass on the word, they have five Patriarchs to do so."
"In the future, I'm afraid that this Yanxia Martial Dao will really not be able to accommodate Mr. Chu."
Lu Tianhe's eyebrows were gloomy and his heart was filled with anxiety.
However, now was not the time to worry about Ye Fan, nowadays, his situation, Lu Tianhe, was also somewhat precarious.
As he watched, that Ke Che came out and prepared to establish his authority by teaching Lu Tianhe a lesson, a soft female voice, however, came out quietly from the Cloud Mist Lake!
"There is a reason for injustice."
"A few old gentlemen, if you have anything to do, come at me."
"Why should you make things difficult for General Lu?"
The faint voice carried a clear, cold and firm majesty.
For a moment, the crowd by the lake, turned to look in unison.
They saw a bamboo boat on the Lake of Clouds and Mist.
A charming woman was slowly docking with the boat.
