At this moment, the drawbridge of the castle was suddenly lowered, and a group of knights galloped out from within.
"Second Master...."
Suddenly, the man called Brother Chao hastily exclaimed, "This is an Inner Sect Disciple from the Divine Sword Sect."
The group of knights ran down from the drawbridge, led by a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, sitting on a horse sizing up Li Qian, and he cupped his fists saying, "So it is the young hero from the Divine Sword Sect, I am Hong Xingyuan; may I know if the young hero has come to undertake the mission to eliminate the Black Knight Gang?"
"Indeed."
Li Qian nodded.
"May I ask young hero, where are the other members of the Divine Sword Sect?"
The middle-aged man, Hong Xingyuan, asked curiously.
After all, after seeking help from the Divine Sword Sect, the three big families should have sent top experts from the True Qi Realm.
"Just me alone."
Li Qian said indifferently.
"One? Young hero, please follow me into the manor, we will report to you the information about the Black Knight Gang."
Hong Xingyuan was initially startled, and then his expression turned even more respectful.
Although he thought Li Qian was a bit too young, since the Divine Sword Sect had sent him, it meant his strength must be formidable.
For a major martial sect like the Divine Sword Sect, with many geniuses, sometimes age should not be used to measure strength.
Li Qian nodded and rode his horse following these people into the Hong Family Manor.
In the main hall, the Hong Family Master and several senior members came out to greet them.
"Master Li, this Black Knight Gang is too excessive, as soon as we arrived in Chuyun County city, they annihilated the Zhang Family, occupied the Zhang Family’s Dock Castle, and were extremely aggressive towards us local martial forces, causing unbearable sufferings to Chuyun County’s citizens, countless residents harbor deep resentment towards the Black Knight Gang... Their crimes are truly indescribable."
The Hong Family Master, Hong Yangyuan, quickly listed the grievances against the Black Knight Gang.
"Hong Family Master, how come I saw it was people from your Hong Family Manor impersonating the Black Knight Gang, committing evil acts, oppressing the common folk; you aren’t trying to shift the blame onto the Black Knight Gang, are you?"
Li Qian didn’t drink the tea handed to him, tapping his fingers on the armrest of his chair, and spoke indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Hong Yangyuan, the Hong Family Master, revealed a shocked expression and quickly replied, "What? This must be their personal misconduct, our Hong Family Manor definitely does not condone such actions. Fortunately, young hero noticed, otherwise it would bring disgrace on our Hong Family Manor."
"Bring those few who impersonated the Black Knight Gang here and cane them eighty times, to serve as a warning to others." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
