The man over two ters tall standing in front of Xue Qianbai made him look as if he could be blown away by the wind.
"No matter how you look at it, we got to know each other through a fight." Zhao Beiming said with a smile, "I wonder what brings the Thousand Snow Sword Venerable to Beihan City this ti?"
"Just passing through." Xue Qianbai replied calmly.
"Passing through?" Zhao Beiming said, suddenly looking at Li Changqing who wasn’t far from Xue Qianbai, and asked, "Is that your friend?"
"I don’t know him." Xue Qianbai glanced at Li Changqing, then shook his head.
Hearing this, Li Changqing also looked around, then pointed at his own face with a surprised expression and asked Zhao Beiming, "Are you talking about ? I don’t know him, I’m just a traveler in Beihan Country, General, please don’t misunderstand."
It’s not that Li Changqing wasn’t being loyal, but he really shouldn’t show himself in Beihan City and cause trouble. Besides, Xue Qianbai was so strong, there wouldn’t be any problems. If there really were problems, he wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.
"Oh, I see, a traveler, it really was a misunderstanding." Zhao Beiming said with a smile, and then made a gesture, "I thought he was a friend of my friend, my apologies, you may go."
"Alright, I won’t interrupt your catch-up then."
Li Changqing nudged Ah Fei with his foot and said, "Let’s go, I’ll buy you so at, then we’ll head ho."
With that, Li Changqing and Ah Fei disappeared into the crowd.
But Zhao Beiming let out a cold laugh, then turned back and gave a signal to the soldiers behind him.
The soldiers nodded in understanding and left the group. In Zhao Beiming’s eyes, Li Changqing was also suspicious. He wanted soone to follow him and see where Li Changqing went.
The soldiers rushed in the direction Li Changqing had just left.
Xue Qianbai didn’t stop them. A few Postnatal Realm soldiers weren’t worth worrying about. The real trouble now was being entangled by Zhao Beiming in front of him; it was not a good thing.
"What do you want from ? If there’s nothing, I’ll be leaving." Xue Qianbai said coldly.
"Originally, nothing much. Seeing an old friend, I wanted to catch up over a drink, but seeing that the Thousand Snow Sword Venerable is busy, we’ll skip that part. I’ll get to the personal matter I wanted to discuss."
Zhao Beiming stretched his neck, "Old Demon Xiang was killed in the outer city the night before last. From my observation, it was done by a swordsmanship expert. I’ve been wondering who this expert could be, who could take down a Grandmaster like Old Demon Xiang. And today, here you are, Thousand Snow Sword Venerable. Isn’t it quite a coincidence?"
"Is it? How coincidental indeed. But I’m not familiar with this matter, nor do I know Old Demon Xiang. I’m leaving."
After saying this, Xue Qianbai turned to leave.
"Buzz!"
The space trembled violently, and a long spear descended, blocking Xue Qianbai’s path.
"Thousand Snow Sword Venerable, committing cris in Beihan Country is against our laws. If you don’t clarify this matter, I won’t let you leave so easily today." Zhao Beiming said with a smile.
Zhao Beiming’s move startled the people on the street, and at this ti his soldiers dispersed.
They evacuated the townspeople.
In just a few breaths, the street beca empty.
But in the shadows, many experts had noticed the commotion here, Zhao Beiming’s spear wasn’t insignificant.
"Isn’t that Zhao Beiming? Who has he gotten entangled with this ti?"
On a distant tower, two people sat facing each other.
They were sipping tea; one was an old man in black clothes and white hair, looking far ahead with a hint of amusent, as if expecting a show.
The other was a middle-aged man exuding kingly authority, sharp brows, and bright eyes.
One look could make a soul tremble.
His montum was incomparable.
"Thousand Snow Sword Venerable, Xue Qianbai."
The man said calmly, "He actually ca to Beihan City. It seems like Old Demon Xiang’s death the other night was indeed the work of Xue Qianbai."
"My eyes aren’t that great, I really didn’t see it, turns out it was the Thousand Snow Sword Venerable." The old man chuckled, "But I’ve examined Old Demon Xiang’s body, it wasn’t just Thousand Snow Sword Venerable. Surely there were others, Old Demon Xiang’s internal organs were battered before his death."
"It must have been the mark of a powerful palm. Thousand Snow Sword Venerable hasn’t learned other martial arts, devoted to Sword Dao, single-mindedly pursuing the sword, so that palm print shouldn’t be his." The old man stroked his beard as he spoke.
"Oh?" The man expressed surprise, "They say Thousand Snow Sword Venerable always works alone, yet he tead up with others?"
"Hahaha."
The old man laughed heartily, "Teaming up seems unlikely, a re Old Demon Xiang wouldn’t warrant Thousand Snow Sword Venerable’s collaboration with others."
"After all, he’s one of the few who understood ’Montum’ at the Grandmaster level. Old Demon Xiang is no match for Thousand Snow Sword Venerable, not even worthy to tie his shoes." The old man said.
"There aren’t many who’ve comprehended ’Montum’ at the Grandmaster level." The man also showed a hint of amazent, then said, "There will be a spectacle today. After all, Zhao Beiming is also soone who grasped ’Montum’ at the Grandmaster level. Their confrontation will be interesting."
On the street, Zhao Beiming’s long spear blocked Xue Qianbai’s path.
"Thousand Snow Sword Venerable, it looks like you’ll have to stay and spend so ti in Beihan City’s jail today." Zhao Beiming said, squinting his eyes.
