Chapter 195: Xiang Wentian's Test, the Counterattack of the Lower Class
"How many days will this ship have to travel on the sea?"

A few days later, there was a noise in the cabin.

"That's right. I can't stay here any longer. This tiny place is like a dog cage. It's so cramped. Why can they live in a big house and some people can have a floor to themselves?"

Some people are venting their dissatisfaction.

Because most of them came from inland, many of them could not swim. After drifting for several days, many of them had already started vomiting, their faces turned pale, and their legs became weak.

This also makes the smell in the already small and confined space of the cabin even more pungent and unbearable.

Anyone who can get on board is the leader of a sect, no matter how bad he is.

In the sect, everyone is served.

I am respected wherever I go. When have I ever felt so humiliated?

Therefore, after being depressed for the past few days, it finally exploded at this moment.

"Yes, where are the people from Xiake Island? Can you come out?"

Someone looked up and shouted loudly.

"You are the ones who invited us here. Is this how you treat guests on your Knight Island?"

"Look, is this where people live? We want to live on the upper floors!"

"There are so many rooms on the upper floors, why do we have to squeeze down there?"

As soon as one person spoke, two, three, and dozens of people began to agree.

As more and more people joined in, they became more powerful and found Zhang San and Li Si, demanding an explanation from them.

"Two messengers, is this how guests are entertained on Xiake Island?"

"I don't believe the owner of Xiake Island would be so rude."

Everyone raised questions one by one.

Zhang San and Li Si also frowned when faced with so many people's booing.

Although their martial arts skills were superb, it was impossible for them to kill people, especially not everyone.

After all, these people come to the island for other purposes.

"Then what do you want?"

Zhang San snorted, "The rooms on this ship are divided according to strength. If you are dissatisfied, you should reflect on why you are inferior to others instead of shouting here."

"If you have enough ability, maybe you can live on the top floor when you return from Xiake Island."

"Since it is a division based on strength, then who is going to make the division? Why do you think they are stronger than us?"

Someone questioned.

"Yes, we haven't fought before. Why are they stronger than us?"

"I think strength is everything. We have to fight to know who is stronger and who is weaker."

Others immediately followed suit.

Wen has no first, Wu has no second.

Unless they are absolutely overwhelmingly powerful, they will not think that they are worse than others.

If word gets back to the underworld and people in the underworld find out that they can only live on the bottom floor of the ship, while someone else lives on the second floor, etc., wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that they are weaker than others?

"So you don't trust our judgment and want to compete in person?"

Zhang San and Li Si also understood. After looking at each other, they turned around and said, "If that's the case, you can give it a try."

Zhang San and Li Si put their hands on their hips and spoke loudly.

This kind of thing has no impact on them anyway. As long as they can reach the Island of Heroes alive, that's enough.

What happens in between is not important.

"Okay, in that case, let's each rely on our own strength."

After getting permission, many people showed their joy and turned to look for their own challengers.

Bei Haishi, Shi Qing and Min Rou are all on this list.

No one dared to challenge Bai Zizai.

Although Bai Zizai had been defeated by Ning Yuan before, the strength he displayed was enough to make people realize that he was not comparable to ordinary people.

Ning Yuan stood on the top floor, looking down at the fight below and sipping wine leisurely.

"Alliance Master Yue is really cool and unrestrained."

At this time, footsteps were heard and Xiang Wentian appeared behind Ning Yuan.

"A member of the Demonic Cult?"

Ning Yuan said without turning his head.

Xiang Wentian's smile froze for a moment, then returned to normal in an instant, "Alliance Master Yue really has a good eye. I just arrived and you discovered my identity."

"Do you know the relationship between the Demon Cult and my Five Mountains Sword Sect?"

Ning Yuan asked calmly.

“That’s something that comes naturally.”

Xiang Wentian bowed slightly.

"Since you know this, why do you still dare to appear in front of me? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Ning Yuan glanced at Xiang Wentian and continued drinking.

"I believe that Alliance Leader Yue is different from others, otherwise he would not have saved Liu Zhengfeng, who was a close friend of the Demon Cult Elder, and would not have saved the Demon Cult Elder's granddaughter."

Xiang Wentian chuckled and said respectfully.

"That's different."

Ning Yuan turned his head and glanced at Xiang Wentian, saying with a half-smile, "Liu Zhengfeng is from my Five Mountains Sword Sect. It's not a big deal for him to associate with anyone. As for Qu Feiyan, she is just a little girl, and she couldn't choose her birth. I, Yue, can't let go of even a little girl like this."

"But you are different. As a messenger of the Demon Cult, you are in a high position and have great power. There is no shortage of reasons to kill you!"

Ning Yuan said with emotion.

Xiang Wentian's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. "With the strength of the leader, if you wanted to kill me, how could you let me live until now?"

"You are quite smart. No wonder you have survived two sect leaders, Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai, and still hold a high position. Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Ning Yuan put down his wine glass, squinted his eyes and looked at Xiang Wentian, and asked.

"In fact, I have had a question for a long time that I want to ask Master Yue."

Xiang Wentian took a deep breath and his expression became solemn.

"Oh? What's the problem?"

Although Ning Yuan already had some guesses in his mind, he still asked indifferently.

"I would like to know……"

Xiang Wentian's face turned serious, and his words became solemn, "I want to know where my leader is?"

"Isn't your leader on the Blackwood Cliff? Where is your Demon Sect's leader? You don't ask your own people, but ask me, the opponent of the Demon Sect. Isn't that unreasonable?"

Ning Yuan said playfully.

"Alliance Leader Yue, let's not beat around the bush. You know I'm not referring to Dongfang Bubai, but Ren Woxing, the leader of the Ren clan."

Xiang Wentian no longer tried to hide the answer and asked directly.

"What a joke! You should ask Dongfang Bubai where Ren Woxing is instead of asking me."

Ning Yuan said calmly.

"Master Yue still doesn't seem to believe me. I have returned from Plum Manor. The four friends of Plum Manor, no, now the three friends, have told me the truth. I just want to know whether Master Ren is alive or dead now."

Xiang Wentian took two steps forward, feeling somewhat excited.

Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a terrifying aura burst out. Xiang Wentian stopped immediately. The invisible pressure made cold sweat seep out of Xiang Wentian's forehead.

Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes and spoke after a long while, "Do you want me to answer whether he is alive or dead?"

Ning Yuan asked playfully.

As Ning Yuan spoke, the invisible pressure dissipated and Xiang Wentian breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing Ning Yuan's question, Xiang Wentian's heart sank. Such an answer gave him a very bad feeling.

"If the leader is still alive, then with his character, he would never miss such a mysterious opportunity on the Island of Heroes. But I walked all over the ship last night and didn't find any trace of him. Add to that Yue Buqun's words now, I'm afraid..."

Xiang Wentian's heart sank. Although he had a premonition, the feeling became stronger now. Xiang Wentian glanced at the person opposite him and couldn't help licking his dry lips. Last night, when he was looking for Ren Woxing's whereabouts on the boat, he unexpectedly saw a figure walking into Yue Buqun's room.

He came out after an hour, his clothes were a little disheveled and his face was flushed.

Therefore, Xiang Wentian knew very well that this seemingly famous hero, Jun Zijian, was not truly upright in secret.

Otherwise, why would he do such a thing and have an affair with someone else's wife?

This one thing alone is enough to show how scheming the other party is and how dishonorable his methods are.

So anything can happen.

The only thing that puzzled him now was that many people in the martial arts world, especially Zuo Lengchan, died from the Star-Absorbing Art, and this was Ren Woxing's unique skill, which no one else could use.

A unique skill that even Dongfang Bubai doesn't understand.

He hasn't figured this out yet.

In fact, he already had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to be sure, nor was he willing to be sure, and it was hard for him to believe it.

"Master Yue is a gentleman. I just want an answer so that I can feel at ease."

Xiang Wentian took a deep breath and clasped his fists again and said.

"What does it matter if you live or die? Why should you cling to life?"

Ning Yuan patted Xiang Wentian on the shoulder and said, "Right Envoy Xiang is truly a loyal man. If Ren Woxing knew that there was a loyal subordinate like you serving him, he would definitely be very pleased."

Xiang Wentian was stunned for a moment, and then his heart sank.

This doesn't sound right to me.

"Could it be that Master Ren really..."

Xiang Wentian's expression changed and he couldn't help but speak.

"The truth and facts are no longer important, and there is no need for you to ask more questions."

Ning Yuan said casually.

Xiang Wentian clenched his fists and looked at Ning Yuan's disappearing back with a grim expression.

He wanted to ask several times whether he had obtained the Star-Absorbing Art, but he restrained himself.

"If the leader is really dead, then there is only one truth behind the use of the Star Absorbing Technique in the martial arts world. That is, someone else has obtained the leader's unique skills, and this person is most likely Yue Buqun."

"He is the only one whose strength has improved by leaps and bounds recently, which is most consistent with the effect of the Star Absorbing Technique."

"But if I ask him about this in person, I'm afraid it will easily lead to anger and make Yue Buqun want to kill me."

"This person seemed to be upright, but now it seems that he is despicable, vicious, and scheming. He even came up with a way to frame others, making people mistakenly believe that the leader has returned to the underworld so that no one would suspect him."

"It's really a good idea."

Xiang Wentian muttered to himself in his heart.

Thinking back to what he saw last night, Min Rou entering the other person's room late at night and coming out an hour later, he had a deeper understanding of Yue Buqun.

"Gentleman Sword and Ice and Snow Divine Sword are both extremely holy titles in the martial arts world. I didn't expect that they would get together. This righteous path is really full of filth and is worse than our Divine Religion."

Xiang Wentian snorted in her heart. She rolled her eyes and thought, "The gap between Yue Buqun and me is too big. I am afraid it is not easy to threaten Yue Buqun. But this secret may be released at the right time to ruin Yue Buqun's reputation."

"As for Shi Qing, maybe we should find a chance to tell him first and let him go to settle the score with Yue Buqun."

Xiang Wentian sneered.

Now that Ren Woxing is dead, he has nothing to worry about.

Although he is not Yue Buqun's opponent, he will never let Yue Buqun have an easy time.

It is bound to cause some trouble for the other party.

What's more, he was the devil in the eyes of the righteous, while Yue Buqun was the leader of the righteous. The two sides were originally hostile forces, so they would naturally have no scruples when it came to harming each other.

"Yue Buqun and Shi Qing are both famous heroes of the righteous path. I must watch this excitement."

Xiang Wentian clenched his fists.

Now all he lacks is the right opportunity.

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. If I tell Shi Qing directly, he may not believe it. I want to find a chance for him to see this scene with his own eyes."

"I don't believe this pair of bastards can continue to endure their loneliness in the next few days."

Xiang Wentian's eyes were determined.

Then he looked down and looked at Shi Qing and Min Rou.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, "Perhaps this is an opportunity."

Xiang Wentian narrowed his eyes and an idea came to his mind.

……

on the deck.

The challenge continues.

Shi Qing and Min Rou also encountered challenges one after another.

Because the couple shared the same room, they attacked the enemy together.

But after several challenges, both of them were exhausted.

Although their strength is good, those who can get on the ship are the strongest of each faction.

Those who can obtain the Knight's Order are all carefully selected by Zhang San and Li Si, and there are no unqualified people.

Therefore, no matter how strong a couple is, they are not much stronger than other people.

After several challenges, it has lost its initial sharpness.

This allowed more people to see opportunities, and the number of challengers not only did not decrease, but increased.

"My two messengers, this is probably unfair, isn't it?"

Shi Qing couldn't help but speak up, "If we want to defend the ring, we have to keep accepting challenges. This is a round-robin battle, and we will be defeated sooner or later. However, the challengers are all full of energy and have the advantage. If we lose because of this, we will not accept it."

"Yes, we don't accept it either!"

Several other sect leaders who were in similar situations to Shi Qing also spoke up.

"I'm afraid even Mr. Wei De from the Snow Mountain Sect can't stand this kind of round-robin battle, and even the Five Mountains Alliance Leader may not be able to hold on. If we lose this kind of battle, it will be too unfair to us who are defending the ring."

Many people shouted loudly.

"On this ship, strength is everything. Since you can't defend the ring, then you should voluntarily give up the room and give it to someone else. Then someone else will naturally challenge him. You can even challenge him and take the room back!"

There are challengers who are neither shady nor polite.

"Hahaha, the book is good, I agree, this is fair. If you have the ability, you can recuperate after leaving the arena, and then challenge again to take it back."

Many people spoke up in agreement.

Many of them have completely lost the qualifications to compete, but since they can't get along well, they obviously don't want others to get along well either.

Lest the world be in chaos.

These words made Shi Qing, Min Rou and others look unhappy.

Zhang San and Li Si looked at each other, pondered for a moment, then took a few steps forward and said loudly, "What they said does make sense. How about this? As long as the defender can survive three challengers every day, he can continue to live in the original room, and the challenger can only challenge three times a day."

"This……"

Shi Qing and others looked hesitant, but others had already responded.

This is still good for them.

After all, those who can get on the boat are all experts, so the difference won’t be much.

Facing a master of this level, after three battles, it was almost the same.

Next, Shi Qing and Min Rou also met their opponents for the third round.

If it were their peak period, they would naturally be fearless.

But now, both of them looked nervous.

Because their internal strength is severely damaged at this moment, and their physical strength is also severely depleted, they are no longer confident.

And if they are defeated, they will not have the energy to challenge others, and they will probably have to live on the bottom floor tonight.

Min Rou felt sick at the thought of such an environment.

　I just did bodyweight exercises for two days and my arm muscles started to ache. The skin and flesh of my ribs on both sides also felt sore. I did a set of beginner squats and my legs felt weak when I walked downstairs, but I still had to persist!!! I finally broke 100 pounds after a meal. It was the first time I reached 100 pounds, even after a meal!
