Chapter 327 What If I Join In?
"Mayor Huang? Your subordinate's performance was unsatisfactory, please punish me!"
Fang Hua hurried over to apologize, lowering his head and trembling, almost to his knees.
Mayor Huang glanced at Old Master Murong, Elder Lin, Su Yunxi, Alliance Leader Long, and the others. Even he couldn't help but frown deeply.
However, he quickly regained his composure, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, this isn't your fault. You can go."
Fang Hua was relieved and quickly stood behind Alliance Leader Long.
"It's Mayor Huang, the number one figure in Jiangzhou's government!"
"No wonder Fang Hua dared to be so bold! So he has a powerful backer."
"Beside Mayor Huang is Mu Haifeng, the master of Wanyang Martial Arts Hall. This is too outrageous!"
The crowd was silent for a moment, then whispers erupted.
Alliance Leader Long whispered to Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, this Mu Haifeng once saved Mayor Huang's elderly father, and Mayor Huang became Mu Haifeng's backer. All of this must be Mu Haifeng of Wanyang Martial Arts Hall's doing. However, Mayor Huang is the sky of Jiangzhou, so this might be difficult to handle."
Chen Xuan's expression also darkened.
Mu Haifeng, that scoundrel, is so insidious!
Moreover, he could hear the hesitation in Alliance Leader Long's words.
"Alliance Leader Long, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you," Chen Xuan said calmly.
Alliance Leader Long said sternly, "Mr. Chen, that's not what I meant. You are now a permanent director of the Jiangzhou Martial Alliance. I will risk my reputation to protect you. Just don't speak later and let me handle it."
"Alright, I understand."
Chen Xuan was touched by Alliance Leader Long's dedication and couldn't refuse his goodwill.
"Mayor Huang, long time no see," Alliance Leader Long walked forward and greeted him with a smile.
Mayor Huang nodded faintly, acknowledging him.
In Jiangzhou, only Mayor Huang had the qualifications to greet Alliance Leader Long like this, as Mayor Huang was the sky of Jiangzhou!
Alliance Leader Long laughed heartily, "Mayor Huang, this place is within our Martial Alliance's territory. Naturally, I must play the host. We must have a good drink later."
Saying that, Alliance Leader Long made a gesture of invitation.
"Alliance Leader Long, aren't you being too protective? Xuanji Hall has violated national law, and you still want to protect them?"
Mayor Huang remained still, exuding an imposing aura.
Mu Haifeng showed a hint of schadenfreude.
Hahaha, you're not opening your business yet, and now I'll have you all thrown into prison. Let's see how you open!
Alliance Leader Long said seriously, "Mayor Huang, that's not right. Fang Hua was just acting on a report and came to Xuanji Hall to arrest people. Isn't that too unreliable?"
"Hmph! What if we have conclusive evidence?"
...
Alliance Leader Long and Mayor Huang argued incessantly.
Chen Xuan sized up Mayor Huang and nodded secretly.
He noticed that Mayor Huang had a full moon-like face, a rounded nose, a square and full forehead, and his brow was clear of any horizontal lines. This was a physiognomy of great wealth and prosperity, no wonder Mayor Huang had reached his position at only forty years old.
Just as Chen Xuan was looking away, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
He discovered a mass of malevolent energy accumulating between Mayor Huang's eyebrows.
This was a "bing sha" (illness sha). Now that it was condensed at Mayor Huang's brow, Mayor Huang was likely to suffer from a serious illness!
At this moment, the number one and number two figures of Jiangzhou's government had extremely grim expressions, as if a storm was brewing.
The people around them turned pale with fright, swaying precariously. No one dared to step forward to mediate.
At this moment, Chen Xuan couldn't help but say, "Mayor Huang, there's something I don't know if I should say?"
Mayor Huang glanced at Chen Xuan and said impatiently, "Go ahead."
Chen Xuan said calmly, "Mayor Huang, you are plagued by illness sha and need to remove it immediately, otherwise you will be consumed by illness and your hidden ailments will erupt!"
Upon hearing this, Mayor Huang was enraged: "Very good! It seems Master Mu was right. You are indeed a swindler. Come, arrest him!"
"Wait!" Alliance Leader Long took a step forward.
Fang Hua wasn't foolish. Although he was Mayor Huang's subordinate, he dared not act rashly in front of these two, or he would surely become cannon fodder.
"Master Mu has already told me that this fellow talks about feng shui and metaphysics, clearly a big骗子 (piànzi - swindler). Are you still going to stop me?"
Mayor Huang cast a contemptuous glance at Alliance Leader Long.
Alliance Leader Long, however, believed Chen Xuan and said sternly, "Mayor Huang, you had better listen to Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen has great attainments in feng shui and metaphysical arts."
"Alliance Leader Long, I didn't expect you to believe such words. It seems your eyes are truly blinded."
Mayor Huang looked at Alliance Leader Long with disappointment, shaking his head as he spoke.
Finally, he took a breath and angrily declared, "Come, seal Xuanji Hall for me!"
Seeing Mayor Huang's firm stance, Fang Hua waved his hand, signaling the constables to rush forward.
"Who dares to try and stop me!"
Alliance Leader Long scanned the constables.
His gaze made them feel as if they had been electrocuted, their scalps tingling.
They had some skills, but compared to Alliance Leader Long, they were far inferior. The key was that many of these constables had come from the Martial Alliance and were inherently afraid of Alliance Leader Long.
In fact, they feared Alliance Leader Long more than Fang Hua.
"Alliance Leader Long, are you really going to oppose Jiangzhou?"
Mayor Huang looked down from above, his majestic aura spreading, making people tremble and dare not look directly at him.
This was the demeanor of a superior!
"Even if I can't win, I will fight. I tell you, I am protecting Xuanji Hall today. Anyone who dares to touch Xuanji Hall is opposing my Martial Alliance!"
Alliance Leader Long gritted his teeth, his imposing aura not at all weaker.
Chen Xuan was somewhat moved by Alliance Leader Long's resolute figure.
"Do you think you can protect Xuanji Hall? I tell you, I am the sky of Jiangzhou. In Jiangzhou, you, Alliance Leader Long, cannot protect Xuanji Hall!"
Mayor Huang narrowed his eyes, his gaze chilling!
In normal times, Mayor Huang and Alliance Leader Long had considerable friction. Now that they met, it was like sparks hitting a fireball, completely erupting!
The atmosphere was tense, and the situation was extremely critical!
No one was optimistic about Xuanji Hall. Although Alliance Leader Long had immense power, he was still a notch below Mayor Huang. Opposing Mayor Huang was no different from opposing the country.
Mu Haifeng looked on with schadenfreude.
"Fang Hua, take everyone away and seal Xuanji Hall!"
Mayor Huang gave the order.
Fang Hua, steeling himself, led his men forward personally.
"What if I join in!"
Just then, another voice of great authority rang out.
Everyone turned to look, and saw a middle-aged man and a white-haired elder walking over with smiles.
Chen Xuan did not recognize the elder, but he recognized the middle-aged man, who was the divine doctor Song, whom Mu Haifeng had invited to treat Alliance Leader Long.
Seeing the white-haired elder, Mayor Huang's face turned pale, and he was shocked. What was the origin of Xuanji Hall to have even alerted him!
Alliance Leader Long, on the other hand, was beaming with joy and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
He was overjoyed, but complained, "Mr. Chen, you made me worry for nothing. I didn't expect you to know someone like this. If I had known you knew this person,"
Chen Xuan, however, was completely bewildered. He looked at the white-haired elder and, after confirming multiple times, realized he did not recognize this person...
Where did this person come from?
Could it be related to the Yaowang Mansion?
