231 The Wandering Dragon Pill
“Look, all of you, take a look. What is the demeanor of a king…”
“What is a gentleman’s bearing?!”
Many of the surrounding Zhang family members praised Zhang Haoyue as if they were looking at their wise lord.
“Qin Huai killed Zhang Dagen, but Senior Brother Zhang still returned the evil with good… What boldness.”
“Hey, what do you mean by Qin Huai killed Zhang Dagen? Don’t say things without evidence,” a disciple of the second branch retorted.
“Humph! The news had already spread. Qin Huai was jealous of the wise and capable, so he followed Zhang Dagen and killed him in the forest. He even pushed the blame on the Sacred Heart sect~”
“Zhang Dagen is also considered a sage?” The disciples of the Li family’s second branch were so angry that they laughed.
“Zhang Dagen has killed so many of our Li family’s people in private. Are you guys using your eyes to vent your anger? ”
“That’s right!”
“I just don’t have the strength. Otherwise, I would definitely skin that Zhang Dagen alive! ”
The people from the Li family’s second and fourth branches were filled with righteous indignation.
The Zhang family members immediately surrounded them. “I think you’re the one. Don’t slander others without evidence. ”
Both sides were like two gunpowder barrels, on the verge of exploding.
However, the number of people from the second and fourth branches combined was much less than the other side. There were even many Li family disciples among the Zhang family members who were ready to attack.
As for the young men of the first branch, who were supposed to be the main branch, they tried to mediate the situation with the people of the sixth branch.
The Li family’s six branches were divided into three factions in a conflict. The complexity of people’s hearts was obvious at a glance.
“Everyone, stop arguing.” Zhang Haoyue’s gentle voice sounded, causing everyone to silently separate.
Everyone respected this Big Senior Brother of the Nine Dragons sect. Even the young men of the second and fourth branches couldn’t find any fault with Zhang Haoyue.
“Rumors might be the devious ways of those who have ill intentions in order to disintegrate my Nine Dragons sect.” Zhang Haoyue spoke frankly and confidently, “In these troubled times, what we need to do the most is to trust our own people, other than improving our strength.
“This is the only way we can unleash our strongest combat power to deal with the Sacred Heart sect, the county governor’s mansion, and the Twin Extreme sect. Today, I’m here with Brother Qin to tell everyone…”
Zhang Haoyue gasped. His gentle but powerful eyes swept across the crowd solemnly. All the disciples of the Nine Dragons sect subconsciously straightened their backs.
“Even if some elders in the sect might be hostile to each other, we young people… At the very least, I, Zhang Haoyue, am here. Whether it’s Zhang or Li, he’s my most important and trustworthy junior brother!
“As long as you junior brothers are in trouble, you can come to me for help. I will do my best to eliminate the deep-rooted conflict between the Zhang and Li families.
“Let the hatred of life and death that has accumulated for hundreds of years begin to diminish from our generation.”
Zhang Haoyue’s voice was full of emotion. As he spoke, his eyes actually turned red.
“Eldest Senior Brother, if you want to resolve the hatred between the Zhang and Li families, you can do it. Why don’t you give me this wandering dragon pill? What’s the use of giving it to this Qin fellow? He’s not a member of the Li family.”
A short-haired youth walked out from the crowd.
“I, Li Buchang, have already entered the ninth refinement a year ago. I’m only one step away from the bone pattern realm.”
Qin Huai looked at the young man who spoke. In his impression, this person should be the leader of the younger generation of the sixth branch.
Just like his second uncle’s son, Li Xiao, who was also the only one in the Li family in the bone pattern realm, he was always out training. However, the places where Li Buchang was active were areas that had disputes with the Twin Extreme sect and the county governor’s mansion.
Li Buchang had shed blood for the sect and made great contributions. He hadn’t returned for more than half a year, and Qin Huai didn’t know why he suddenly appeared in the sect today.
“In terms of merit and experience, I should be ahead of Qin Huai, shouldn’t I?” Li Buchang sneered and walked up to Qin Huai.
“Well…” Zhang Haoyue was instantly rendered speechless. He looked at Qin Huai with a troubled expression.
Qin Huai said, “Buchang is right. No matter how you look at it, this wandering dragon pill suits him more than me.”
Qin Huai was very calm. Since he had already entered the bone pattern realm, it didn’t matter whether he had the wandering dragon pill or not.
Moreover, the person who stood up to snatch the pill was also from the Li family, not the third or fifth branch. If the Li family could really gain another bone pattern realm expert, Qin Huai would be happy to see it.
“You have some self-awareness.” Li Buchang glanced at Qin Huai from the corner of his eyes, his eyes filled with disgust.
He heard from his father that this person had provoked the Zhang family several times since he arrived at the Nine Dragons sect. This made the already extremely hostile situation between the two families even worse.
He might even be the murderer of Zhang Dagen. He was at the peak of the ninth refinement, only half a step away from the bone pattern realm.
The current situation was unpredictable. For the Nine Dragons sect, it was very important to have one more master and to stabilize the relationship between the Zhang and Li families.
This person actually ruined the overall situation just for a little selfish desire. He really did not know the big picture.
“Since Brother Qin has no objections, I’ll give this wandering dragon pill to Buchang.” Zhang Haoyue laughed heartily and immediately handed the exquisite box in his hand to Li Buchang.
“Buchang, you’ve earned a lot for the Nine Dragons sect in the past few years. It’s been hard on you.” Zhang Haoyue patted Li Buchang’s shoulder heavily.
“To be honest, I feel that this wandering dragon pill is not enough to reflect the contributions you have made to the sect over the years. However, now… The sect needs to deal with the major events that might happen next. We urgently need money in all aspects, so…”
