"Li Shidao, two people from the Lin Family have died here, I need an explanation..."
Negotiations have already started over there, and Fang Yu’s attention was long since withdrawn.
They’re all our own people, threats and negotiations, it’s all fake, there’s nothing worth seeing at all, naturally, Fang Yu wasn’t interested.
His gaze turned to the person beside him.
"Lady Zhuo Xueer, my actions this time were reckless, I have caused trouble for everyone..."
"Quiet! Do you see over there?"
Zhuo Xueer’s sudden interruption startled Fang Yu.
Following the direction of Zhuo Xueer’s Mantis Scythe-like hand, he saw some new faces mingling into the crowd.
[Zong Xianli: 185/185.]
[Tao Yangliu: 296/296.]
[Han Yushu: 171/171.]
[Wei Nianlu: 210/210.]
[Shang Cai: 309/309.]
These people, appearing from nowhere, continued to blend into the surrounding crowd as if they were ordinary onlookers.
If it weren’t for Zhuo Xueer pointing them out, Fang Yu wouldn’t have even noticed this new group of people.
Fang Yu’s brow slightly furrowed.
He couldn’t tell there was anything wrong with these people.
Did Zhuo Xueer come over specially to make him aware of this group?
Their powers were average.
Thinking this, Fang Yu couldn’t help but ask.
"Who are these people?"
"They’re from the Zongheng Martial Arts Hall."
"Zongheng Martial Arts Hall?"
Fang Yu was surprised.
The name of this martial arts hall was a bit unfamiliar.
Or rather, aside from the Three major martial arts schools, the people from other martial arts halls didn’t leave much of an impression on him.
After all, in Tianyuan Town, there were numerous martial arts halls, and since Fang Yu would not join another martial arts hall, it was natural for him not to be concerned with the others.
"Are they very powerful?"
"You don’t know?"
Zhuo Xueer looked puzzled.
Fang Yu shook his head honestly.
"...Zongheng Martial Arts Hall is one of the medium-sized martial arts halls, and it was just taken over a few days ago by a challenge from Li Shidao. It made quite a stir. That day, Li Shidao challenged seven or eight martial arts halls in a row, amassing quite a few followers in the process. Li Shidao, who once acted alone, suddenly started consolidating forces, which was big news for many people."
Fang Yu was surprised.
So that was it.
Indeed, he was unaware.
Because after that bout with Li Shisan, Fang Yu had temporarily lost contact with Green Demon.
He had also been busy with his own affairs afterwards and wasn’t aware that Green Demon had also freed up time to challenge and recruit from other halls.
"So, these are all Li Shidao’s people?"
"Yes. And it’s not just these people. Look over there, and there, and those few as well. Especially those few, you need to pay special attention. Although your reckless actions earlier have exposed us, the attention of the crowd is currently on the Li Family and the Lin Family, so we may still have an opportunity to rectify the situation."
The so-called opportunity to rectify the situation naturally meant that if people from the Bonfire Gathering showed up now, they could still capture them and achieve their initial goal.
Fang Yu looked in the direction Zhuo Xueer was pointing again.
The people in front were martial artists with around 100-200 health points. They might be considered elite within a martial arts hall and belonged to the backbone force of a medium-sized martial arts hall. But in the current situation, they seemed somewhat inadequate.
There were occasionally several martial artists with 300 to 500 health points who seemed like small leaders commanding a group of people, barely making a name for themselves in an environment filled with top experts from the Lin Family and Li Family, and even with demons mingled in, but still unable to influence the overall situation.
Fang Yu was a bit puzzled as to what Brother Qing was planning to do with so many martial artists of this level of strength.
But then, he realized.
This battle between the Lin Family and the Li Family was not some one-on-one duel, but a large-scale family war.
In a battle of this scale, the number of lower-tier combatants was also very important.
Simply put, it meant needing a large number of foot soldiers to bolster the scene, as after all, the Li Family wasn’t solely ruled by Brother Qing, and there was a limit to the number of people he could command.
Fang Yu skipped over these martial artists from medium-sized martial arts halls who weren’t worth much attention and looked towards the few people Zhuo Xueer had specifically mentioned.
With just one glance, Fang Yu understood why Zhuo Xueer had specially pointed out these individuals.
[Du Tiancheng: 1001/1001.]
[Fu Huacang: 795/795.]
[Shu Xinran: 888/888.]
[Qian Lingbo: 1104/1104.]
These individuals had strengths ranging from 800 to 1000!
With such power, in a medium-sized martial arts hall, they would almost be the ones to stand on their own just below the Hall Master, and might even be qualified to become Hall Masters themselves.
"Those few...are they also from a medium-sized martial arts hall?"
Fang Yu looked puzzled.
"No."
Zhuo Xueer narrowed her eyes.
"They are from Truth Spirit Martial Arts Hall."
Truth Spirit Martial Arts Hall?!
Fang Yu was shocked in his heart.
"One of the Three major martial arts schools, Truth Spirit Martial Arts Hall?"
Fang Yu had some impression of Truth Spirit Martial Arts Hall.
Previously, when he first encountered Hei Ao and Zuo Lu, his subordinate, Kun Shanhai, had killed a disciple of Truth Spirit Martial Arts Hall.
And afterwards, it seemed there was no retaliation or anything.
So although Fang Yu was surprised, he had no special feeling regarding Truth Spirit Martial Arts Hall.
The only thing he could still recall was that Lin Biesheng from the Lin Family seemed to have some connection with Truth Spirit Martial Arts Hall.
As Brother Qing shed his skin, metaphorically speaking, with debts dying, Truth Spirit Martial Arts Hall hadn’t appeared within Fang Yu’s range of sight for a while.
He hadn’t expected them to emerge again now.
Combining all the previous signs, without a doubt, Truth Spirit Martial Arts Hall must be...
"The reinforcements from the Lin Family?"
Fang Yu looked toward Zhuo Xueer, and she nodded slightly.
"It seems so, there are indeed rumors that Truth Spirit Martial Arts Hall and the Lin Family are particularly close."
The Li Family has the support of several medium-sized martial arts halls.
While the Lin Family brought in experts from Truth Spirit Martial Arts Hall to bolster their side.
For a moment, it seemed like the two sides were evenly matched.
But Fang Yu knew that the Li Family and the Lin Family were affiliated with demons, it was all just a performance.
It is just that the subordinates are truly fighting to their last breath.
With this move, are they intending to deplete the overall strength of Tianyuan Town’s martial arts forces?
