Hu Xiuwu lowered the sword in his hand.
Zhang Chulan was stunned, his mouth wide open and his chin unable to close. Suddenly he understood why Lu Ci suddenly became easy to talk to after Hu Xiuwu came over.
Chapter 320 Interview
"Oh my god! What kind of monsters are these?"
"Who was that person using the sword just now? He seems to be more powerful than Zhuge Qing and Little Fire God."
"Is that the level of strength that our generation can achieve?"
"This Luotian Grand Ceremony is really interesting."
After the fire was extinguished, the wind died down, and everything was safe, the spectators, who were still in shock, were all shocked by the scene off the field. Among them were some contestants who had come to see Zhuge Qing's skills, some of whom were participating in the Luotian Dajiao.
I thought the strength of Little Vulcan and Zhuge Qing was already exaggerated enough, but in the end Hu Xiuwu showed up.
Look at this place, it seems like a sword storm has blown through it. The originally towering wooden walls seem to have been shaved off a layer by a wood planer, and are now smooth and flat.
Zhang Lingyu, who came to watch Zhuge Qing's competition, also smiled subconsciously: "Senior brother's skills have improved again."
Ji Yun beside him was astonished: "Is that the person that the Heavenly Master asked to see two years ago? He is indeed extraordinary! I am afraid that even Senior Brother Rong Shan may not be his opponent."
Zhuge Qing opened his eyes and recalled what Zhang Lingyu had said to him: "A unicorn is buried in the mountains? It seems that my Zhuge family has not been in the martial arts world for a long time, and has indeed become somewhat detached from the world of extraordinary people."
Taoist Master Rongshan is the referee of this competition. He is also Tianshi's direct disciple and Zhang Lingyu's senior brother. His strength is unfathomable, but he is over 40 years old and is no longer considered to be one of the younger generation, so he is just serving as a referee this time.
Since Hong Bin admitted defeat on his own initiative, Taoist Master Rongshan decided that Zhuge Qing was the winner of the match.
Zhang Chulan's face was distorted, and he wailed, "Oh my god, how can I fight this! Sister Baoer?"
Zhang Chulan hardened his heart, turned his head, and his expression changed in a way that no one else could see. He looked at Feng Baobao sinisterly with a rogue expression.
Feng Baobao cutely gave a thumbs up and said, "I got it. I'll bury him soon."
Zhang Chulan came to Feng Baobao and whispered, "Don't worry, there's still one game left. If you can draw a game with him, you won't have to go through so much trouble."
"know."
Feng Baobao made an OK gesture with her eyes.
"Mr. Hu Xiuwu, are you available for an interview with Yaoxing Society?"
While Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao were planning to use some tricks to deceive Zhuge Qing, Hu Xiuwu was not at peace either. A young man in a suit and leather shoes and with freckles on his face came up to Hu Xiuwu and enthusiastically invited him to be interviewed.
Behind him, there was a photographer carrying a camera and wearing a baseball cap, whose face could not be seen clearly.
"Yao Xing Club."
Hu Xiuwu kept smiling, but he became wary when he heard the name of Yaoxing Society.
Originally, he had a good impression of Yaoxing Society. He benefited a lot from the channels of Yaoxing Society and learned a lot about the situation of the foreign extraordinary world.
But since returning from Hogwarts, Hu Xiuwu has become suspicious of the Yaoxing Society.
The reporter Rita Skeeter who could transform into a beetle and was killed by Hu Xiuwu together with Barty Crouch was a special reporter for Yaoxing Society.
This might just be a coincidence, but when Hu Xiuwu followed this line of investigation, he accidentally discovered from an old report that the voice of Qu Tong, the president of Yaoxing Society, was very similar to the voice that he used to convey orders to Barty Crouch using a magic weapon that day.
It's just a pity that he doesn't have further evidence, and Qu Tong seems to be high-profile, but in fact she rarely appears in the public eye.
Hu Xiuwu also once asked Hu Bayi to help him check the background of Yaoxing Society, but there were very few records about Yaoxing Society within Nadutong, only saying that the society had a clean background and no bad record.
But even so, Hu Xiuwu felt more and more that something was not right.
How could an organization that makes a living from intelligence be so clean?
"Mr. Hu, don't worry. We won't ask you any private questions. If you find any questions offensive, you can refuse to answer them."
Seeing that Hu Xiuwu kept his head down and remained silent, seeming to be very conflicted, the reporter from Yaoxing Society continued to persuade Hu Xiuwu, trying to get an interview with Hu Xiuwu.
As a reporter for Yaoxing Society, he had met many strange people. Some of them were keen on becoming famous, but some preferred to be low-key and quiet. They were somewhat resistant to interviews, fearing that their privacy would be exposed. Therefore, he was not surprised by Hu Xiuwu's hesitant attitude.
Hu Xiuwu frowned at the repeated warm and sincere invitations from the Freckles reporter, then relaxed his brows and sighed, "Okay, go ahead and ask."
"Great, thank you Mr. Hu." The freckled reporter immediately waved excitedly to the photographer behind him, signaling him to adjust the camera.
After the photographer gave him an OK gesture, the reporter with freckles looked serious and took the microphone in his hand seriously:
"Mr. Hu Xiuwu, you are the biggest dark horse contestant in this Luotian Dajiao. I wonder what your purpose is in participating in the Luotian Dajiao?"
Hu Xiuwu said naturally: "It's for the source of Qi and for Zhang Chulan. If I can get the Tongtian Scroll, it would be even better."
"Oh, can you say that? You are really honest." The freckled reporter smiled dryly, but his tone became more and more excited.
This is a big explosion.
Many people came to the Luotian Grand Ceremony this time for Zhang Chulan's Qi body source, but Hu Xiuwu was the first one who frankly admitted his purpose in front of the camera, especially with Zhang Chulan right next to him.
"So what's your plan? Will you show mercy to Zhang Chulan when you meet him?"
Freckles glanced at Zhang Chulan and asked seriously.
Zhang Chulan: Shit! Don't think I don't understand what you mean. Are you asking if Hu Xiuwu will trade with me privately?
Hu Xiuwu said: "Let's win the next game first."
"Oh, by the way, I just remembered, Zhang Chulan, the Heavenly Master just asked me to ask you to go find him."
Hu Xiuwu suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Chulan.
When did the Heavenly Master come to look for me? Weren't we together just now?
Zhang Chulan was confused, but he knew Hu Xiuwu was not someone who spoke nonsense without any purpose, so he showed a surprised expression: "The Heavenly Master wants to see me, so I have to go quickly, Sister Baoer."
"!!!"
He habitually asked Sister Baoer to follow him, but Zhang Chulan realized it too late. When the people from Yaoxing Society held him, Xu San and Xu Si back, a stranger appeared next to Sister Baoer and seemed to be trying to get her to talk.
Zhang Chulan instantly understood why Hu Xiuwu wanted to send him away, but his expression remained unchanged, showing no sign of panic or vigilance. He just shouted in confusion:
"Sister Baoer, we have to leave first. Who is this?"
Feng Baobao said blankly: "I don't know, he came up to chat with me on his own."
Although his spying was interrupted by Zhang Chulan, this depressed middle-aged man dressed like the Yaoxing Society's people did not panic and said calmly:
"I'm a reporter from Yaoxing Society, and I want to interview the contestants of Luotian Dajiao. Zhang Chulan, since you're here too, would you like to be interviewed by us?"
Zhang Chulan smiled and shook his head: "We have something else to do, let's talk about it next time."
"Sister Bao'er, let's go."
Feng Baobao followed Zhang Chulan like a little duck, and left without looking back.
The man did not stop her, but just stared at Feng Baobao from where he was, muttering:
"Almost."
Hu Xiuwu saw all of this. After the people from Yaoxing Society showed up, he had been paying attention to their actions. That's why he immediately warned Zhang Chulan when the people from Yaoxing Society appeared next to Feng Baobao.
If he had only doubted Yaoxing Society before, now he was basically certain that there must be something wrong with Yaoxing Society.
They were able to seize the opportunity of Feng Baobao being alone so accurately and decisively step forward to gather information. It was obvious that this group of people had been observing Feng Baobao for some time.
Naduotong, Quanxing, the Ten Lao, and now there is also a Yaoxing Society.
Hu Xiuwu said with emotion:
So, Longhu Mountain is really lively at this time.
Chapter 321 Visitors from afar
After getting rid of the entanglement of Yaoxing Society, Hu Xiuwu suddenly found that the surroundings were much quieter. Everyone around him had left, and only Wang Kaixuan, who had no fame in the alien world and no exploration value, was left with him.
Tsk, Fatty doesn't seem to be taken seriously by Yaoxing Society. Even Xu San and Xu Si were included in the interview just now, but he, who is known as the Little Overlord of Panjiayuan, didn't get a chance.
If Fatty knew the truth, he would be so angry.
Wang Kaixuan glanced at Hu Xiuwu with empty eyes: "I always feel that the corners of your mouth are rising. Are you laughing at me in your heart?"
"No, it's just your illusion." Hu Xiuwu denied it. Seeing that many spectators had moved to other venues, he changed the subject and said, "There are still a few games to come. Do you want to watch them?"
"Let's go," Wang Kaixuan became excited when he heard this. He took out his phone and logged into the Luotian Dajiao handicap APP created by Lu Jia Canglong. "Don't say that this Luotian Dajiao is comparable to a WWE boxing match. It's much more interesting."
"I bet on you and Deng Youfu to win the first two games on this app, and I made a small profit. I'll treat you to a good meal when I get down the mountain."
"Hey, look, you just showed off your skills and the odds have gone up. They are now the same odds as Zhang Lingyu and Zhuge Qing. They are both 1:1. These guys have a keen sense of smell."
As Wang Kaixuan walked, he showed Hu Xiuwu the odds of each contestant on the tablet. These odds also indirectly reflected the views of the vast majority of people in the extraordinary world on the strength of the younger generation.
However, Hu Xiuwu was not interested in this. Wang Kaixuan found these competitions exciting, but for Hu Xiuwu, it was more like watching a competition among cute kids, which was cute but not exciting enough.
While accompanying Wang Kaixuan to watch the competition between Huang Ming of the Quanzhen Sect and Xiao Xiao, the successor of the Blowing Qi School, Hu Xiuwu's cell phone suddenly vibrated and he received a call.
"That one? Heavenly Master, what's the matter?"
“······Oh, I see. I’ll go right away. No trouble.”
After hanging up the phone, Hu Xiuwu put away his phone and said to Wang Kaixuan, "Fat Brother, I have something to take care of. You can go watch the game by yourself."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Ugh!"
Wang Kaixuan stretched out his hand to grab Hu Xiuwu, but in a flash, Hu Xiuwu disappeared from his sight.
With his hands spread out and his belly thrust out, Wang Kaixuan looked confused and bewildered, even his stubble showed melancholy and helplessness:
"No way, these little guys are just going to leave me here like this?"
……
After leaving Wang Kaixuan behind, Hu Xiuwu headed towards the foot of Longhu Mountain. The Taoist priest had just called him and asked him to help pick up two guests who had come from afar.
Hu Xiuwu was also a guest in Longhu Mountain, and the task of picking up people should not have been assigned to him, but since he had some friendship with the two guests, the Heavenly Master asked him to help Zhang Lingyu.
After the game, Zhang Lingyu arrived early at the canyon where the back mountain and the front mountain of Longhu Mountain meet, waiting for the arrival of guests.
When Hu Xiuwu arrived, Zhang Lingyu was sitting beside the canyon, staring at the steel cable at the edge of the valley in a daze.
"Senior brother."
The Heavenly Master had already informed Zhang Lingyu, so he was not surprised to see Hu Xiuwu coming.
