"Come with me, I need to ask you something." He Nian removed his hand and headed downstairs.
Once He Nian removed his hand, Chen Xie breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more comfortable. After a few deep breaths, he followed He Nian downstairs.
...
Inside the inn.
After obtaining the waist token, the first thing Xiahou did upon returning to his dwelling was to spread the three reasons he prepared.
The more people knew, the better.
Because if one person says it, it might be false. But if a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand say it, even a lie can become truth.
Then when he takes action, there wouldn’t be any opposing opinions.
Bang!
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly kicked open.
Just as Xiahou was about to get angry, he saw several powerful elders of the Xia Family walk in.
High-ranking members of the Xia Family followed closely.
"Xiahou, no matter what you plan to do now, you must stop."
"You must stop, do not act rashly."
"We’ve already lost Xia Jin, Xia Ye, those young ones. It’s painful enough, and now you want to act on impulse."
...
Many elders were united in trying to prevent what Xiahou planned to do next.
In their view, they should wait for the centennial event to end. It wouldn’t be too late to strike when the Hundred Sects Alliance deals with the Immortal Sect.
At that time, even if the scattered inn supports the Immortal Sect, it wouldn’t be simple.
Why act impulsively now?
Why add more damage to the Xia Family?
"Enough!" Xiahou shouted angrily.
Before the many elders continued to speak, Xiahou took out the waist token, "I now have the sole law enforcement right during the centennial event. Not to mention the Immortal Sect, even if the Alliance Leader of the Scattered Inn supports them, as long as I have a reason, I can arrest him, or even kill him!"
Following his words, the room fell silent.
Moments later, a senior elder took it from Xiahou’s hand and passed it around.
"This..."
"How did you get Lian Jin’s Law Enforcement Waist Token?"
"Don’t we have the power to deploy forces from Heaven and Earth Lake and those from beyond?"
Originally they came to reprimand him, but smiles appeared on the faces of many elders.
Xiahou laughed coldly and snatched the waist token back, "At dawn, I will grind every person in the Immortal Sect to dust!"
"Grind to dust!"
"Grind to dust!"
...
Voices rang out in unison.
Finally, it was the Xia Family’s turn to showcase their power.
But at that moment, a low footstep could be heard outside the door.
Slow, and not very firm.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
The steps stopped at the doorway.
A cold voice followed with a query.
"The waiter downstairs said you are high-ranking members of the Xia Family. No mistake, right?"
