I'm in the world of Xianjian

Chapter 212: Four Alliances (Part 4)

When Lin Shen, Zhao Linger and others arrived in Hangzhou City, they saw that the city was very lively.

But it was not as lively as the usual downtown area, but rather as if something miraculous in the martial arts world was about to happen, and most of the people coming and going were martial artists.

Lin Yueru asked the local residents and found out that four noble families were going to hold a meeting here.

They are the Ouyang family of Yunzhou, the Huangfu family of Kaifeng, the Shangguan family of the Western Regions and the Xiahou family of Mingzhou.

When Lin Yueru heard this, she let out a long "Oh~~" and then said, "So it's them. I didn't expect them to come here to join the alliance."

Zhao Linger said, "Sister Yueru, do you know them?"

Lin Yueru said, "They have dealt with our Lin family several times, trying to compete with my father for the position of leader, but they have never succeeded."

Lin Shen first closed his eyes, took a breath, and then said, "After all, this is the leader of the martial arts world. Who wouldn't be jealous of this position?"

Jiang Wan'er said, "Yueru, Anos, why don't we go and take a look. Let's see what these people are up to."

Lin Shen said, "It's rare to see something exciting, it would be a shame not to watch it."

Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru and Anu had no objections, so the five of them asked about the meeting place, which was right next to the West Lake.

As Lin Shen rushed to West Lake, he complained in his heart: These people are quite good at choosing places.

When Lin Shen and his companions arrived at the meeting place, they saw that they had built a wooden platform that was 2 meters high and 20 meters square.

There were several chairs on both sides of the platform. Several men in yellow-brown cloth robes and men in blue-white cloth robes sat on the left, and several men in red-black cloth robes and men in purple sat on the right. Behind these people were guards in the same color clothes.

Anu said, "Brother Anos, Sister Yueru, why do you think they want to form an alliance?"

Lin Shen closed his eyes and tapped his temples lightly with his index finger, but after thinking for a long time he still couldn't figure out why.

Lin Yueru said, "I guess they feel that if they challenge alone, the chances of success are too low, so they stick together to keep each other warm."

Zhao Linger whispered, "Shh~~~They seem to be about to start."

At this time, a man in his 20s, dressed in purple and with a heroic look on his face, stood up, saluted, and said to the audience, "My fellow martial artists, my name is Ouyang Ying. Thank you for coming to our meeting.

You all know that Nan Lin, Bei Shen, and Lin Tiannan are the most powerful in the martial arts world, and Lin Tiannan is the current leader of the martial arts world. However, we are unwilling to be their foils, so we have gathered here and plan to challenge them in the future."

Lin Shen grumbled quietly, "Sure enough, you're really envious of the position of Wulin Alliance Leader."

A man in yellow stood up and said, "Brother Ouyang is right. Why can the leader of the martial arts world only be chosen between the Lin family and the Shen family?

Lin Tiannan only has one daughter, and Shen Qingfeng's son is a typical second-generation rich kid.

I think it’s time for them to consider stepping down and letting others take over.”

When Lin Yueru heard this, her fists clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound.

Lin Shen was afraid that she would attract attention on the stage, so he held Lin Yueru's hand.

Lin Yueru took one look and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Lin Shen whispered, "It's okay. Let's see what tricks they're going to play."

At this time, a man in a blue and white robe stood up and said, "Brother Shangguan is right. Then the four of us should find someone to take the lead and compete for the position of Wulin leader for us."

At this time, a man in a red and black cloth robe crossed his hands and lowered his head to think about something.

After seeing this, Ouyang Ying said, "Brother Xiahou, what are you thinking about?"

The man stood up and said slowly, "I think we must fight for the position of Wulin leader, but I always feel like we've overlooked one person."

Ouyang Ying said, "Brother Xiahou, who are you talking about?"

The man simply said three words, "A~no~s~!"

Everyone on the stage suddenly felt as if they had been struck by lightning. The man in yellow said, "Xiahou Zhang! What do you mean? Why are you bringing him up?"

Xiahou Zhang said, "Don't blame me for being a jinx, my brother Shangguan Xin.

My people also went to the martial arts conference between the Lin and Shen families. They came back to report that a man named Anos had beaten up the owner of Shenjiabao, Shen Qingfeng, and his son Shen Qi.

As far as I know, the only daughter of Linjiabao also has a secret crush on him.

If that guy is willing to stand on our side or remain neutral, the situation will be easier to handle, but if he stands on the side of Alliance Leader Lin, we can forget about it."

The man in the blue and white robe said, "I, Huangfu Yiming, don't believe this.

Shen Qi himself is a second-generation rich kid, and Shen Qingfeng has been busy looking for a concubine and practicing martial arts recently. What's there to say about losing to a junior?

If he comes, I'll see how I deal with him."

Anu nudged Lin Shen with his arm and said jokingly, "How about being underestimated? Should we go up and teach them a lesson?"

Lin Shen took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, saying, "That's not necessary."

Ouyang Ying noticed that the atmosphere was a little off, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about that person.

Let's not forget our purpose today. Since we're forming an alliance, who will be the leader?

Shangguan Xin said, "I think Brother Huangfu can consider it based on his seniority.

In terms of financial resources, Brother Xiahou is second to none.

In terms of personal ability, Brother Ouyang is once again the best candidate."

Huangfu Yiming said, "Since the Lin and Shen families chose their leaders through a duel, why don't the four of us also have a duel to determine the winner."

Ouyang Ying and Shangguan Xin had no objections, and Xiahou Zhang agreed after thinking about it.

The first match was a competition between Huangfu Yiming and Shangguan Xin. Shangguan Xin stood on the left holding two daggers, while Huangfu Yiming stood on the right with his sword drawn.

Shangguan Xin rushed towards Huangfu Yiming, and Huangfu Yiming stabbed at Shangguan Xin with a sword. Shangguan Xin hurriedly clamped Huangfu Yiming's sword with both swords and pushed hard, forcing Huangfu Yiming back.

Shangguan Xin stabbed Huangfu Yiming with the sword in his right hand. Huangfu Yiming dodged to the side. Shangguan Xin slashed the sword in his left hand towards Huangfu Yiming's neck, but Huangfu blocked it with his sword.

Huangfu Yiming swept through the enemy with one strike, and the sword blade slashed towards Shangguan Xin's chest.

Shangguan Xin quickly dodged backwards and avoided the attack.

Huangfu Yiming saw this and said, "Brother Shangguan, your martial arts have improved again."

Shangguan Xin said, "Brother Huangfu, you are too polite. Come again!"

The two men rushed towards each other and started fighting hand to hand again.

Lin Yueru watched for a while, nudged Lin Shen with her elbow, and whispered, "Anos, do you think we should disrupt their situation?"

Zhao Linger whispered, "Sister Yueru, this isn't a good idea. After all, we are the guests and they are the hosts."

Anu said, "These two guys seem to be quite capable.

But compared to Sister Yueru and Uncle Lin, I feel like I'm still a long way behind. I feel like Sister Yueru might be able to take on four of them alone."

Lin Yueru said, "You're exaggerating. But they underestimated Anos, and I don't want to let it go."

Lin Shen glanced at Lin Yueru and whispered, "Yueru, I know you want to help me vent my anger.

But with so many people watching, if they make a fool of themselves in public, I'm afraid they'll become enemies in the future, and it will be difficult to handle if I need their help."

When Lin Yueru heard Lin Shen say this, she took a breath and said, "Okay, Anos, I'll listen to you."

At this time, Huangfu Yiming and Shangguan Xin were still fighting on the stage, and they had been fighting for eighty rounds.

At this time, Shangguan Xin was already a little tired. Huangfu Yiming found the opportunity and kicked Shangguan Xin off the wooden platform.

After Shangguan Xin got up, Huangfu Yiming clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Brother Shangguan."

After Shangguan Xin returned to the wooden platform, he also bowed to Huangfu Yiming and said, "No, no, I am not as skilled as you."

The second match was a duel between Xiahou Zhang and Ouyang Ying. Xiahou Zhang picked up his saber, and Ouyang Ying drew his sword. They both shouted in unison, "Come on!"
