Du Zizhan took the letter, slowly opened it, and read it carefully.
While Du Zizhan was reading the letter, Yuan Suiyun below was also secretly observing Du Zizhan's expression.
To Yuan Suiyun's disappointment, Du Zizhan's face remained completely expressionless.
"This Du Zizhan, though upright, is not without cunning," Yuan Suiyun thought to himself. "Young Master Zhongshan is right. This man will sooner or later become a major threat to our Evil Eight Paths' return to Southern Tang. We must get rid of him as soon as possible!"
After reading the letter, Du Zizhan handed it to the side, saying, "Everyone, please take a look."
The group began to pass around the letter from Qin Zhongshan, the young master of the Extinction Dao Sect, to Du Zizhan.
"Huh, this Qin Zhongshan actually invited us into the Xijiang County government? That's really strange!"
"He says he wants to fight us fair and square, does he have a death wish?"
"Heh, I'm afraid there's some kind of conspiracy involved! When did these wicked people become so open and honest?"
……
As the letter was passed around, people began to discuss it.
Qin Zhongshan's letter conveyed only one meaning—he actually wanted to invite these upright masters to the Xijiang County government, saying he wanted to have a fair and square fight with them.
These righteous people were just worried about not having a chance to enter Xijiang County Government. Now, isn't this just the right opportunity for them?
Of course, no one would believe that Qin Zhongshan would actually fight them fair and square. You can't trust a single word spoken by people from the shady world.
After everyone had read the letter, Du Zizhan asked, "You guys actually dared to invite us into the city? What exactly are you up to?"
“I don’t have any ideas.” Yuan Suiyun chuckled. “Young Master Zhongshan said that if we just wait for news from the capital, I’m afraid you all won’t be willing to wait, and he himself would also find it boring. So before news comes from the capital, Young Master Zhongshan hopes to see what you so-called righteous people are capable of.”
“Of course, if you’re worried that we have some kind of conspiracy, and if you’re afraid, you don’t have to go,” Yuan Suiyun continued. “Then let’s continue this stalemate and wait for news from the capital.”
Once news arrives from the capital, all their previous efforts will have been in vain.
If the righteous path gains the upper hand in the capital, the evil path in Xijiang County will retreat without a fight. However, if the evil path gains the upper hand in the capital, the elders of each sect will likely force these young people to return.
Whatever the final outcome in the capital, it's not what they want to see.
"Fine, go back and tell Qin Zhongshan that we will be entering the city early tomorrow morning. Tell him to wash his neck and wait!" Du Zizhan sneered, "You can leave now!"
"Then I await your arrival!" Yuan Suiyun cupped his hands in greeting to Du Zizhan, then turned and walked out.
……
After Yuan Suiyun left, Du Zizhan asked the crowd, "Gentlemen, what do you think Qin Zhongshan is up to this time?"
After thinking about it, everyone came to two conclusions.
First, there's Qin Zhongshan, who has become so arrogant that he thinks he can rival the righteous sects and wants to achieve a great feat before news arrives from the capital, thus solidifying his prestige among the eight evil sects.
However, considering Qin Zhongshan's actions over the past few days, no one believes he would be such a reckless person.
Another thing is that Qin Zhongshan has already laid a trap within the Xijiang County government. He's just waiting for them to enter the city so he can capture them all.
“Although he’s probably planning some kind of scheme against us, we have no choice but to go into Xijiang County. Otherwise, if he’s determined to stay inside the county government, all our previous efforts will be in vain.” Du Zizhan pondered for a moment, then looked at Yuan Daotong: “Brother Yuan, you’ve always been wise and resourceful. What are your thoughts on this matter?”
Yuan Daotong smiled bitterly, "Iron chains block the great river. You know there's a conspiracy, but you have no choice but to cross. This time, Qin Zhongshan invited us into the city, which is our only way to break through the Xijiang County government. No matter what his conspiracy is, we have to bite the bullet and go for it!"
“That’s right!” Zhongli Jiang laughed. “Whatever his schemes and tricks, does Qin Zhongshan have any other tricks up his sleeve to deal with us? If he were really that powerful, he wouldn’t have been hiding in the county government all this time!”
Zhong Lijiang's words reassured everyone considerably.
Zhong Lijiang is right. At least in terms of strength, they have an absolute advantage. Otherwise, Qin Zhongshan wouldn't have been holed up in Xijiang County for so long.
They were all worried that those evil heretics might have some kind of conspiracy, but they had forgotten that in terms of strength, they had an absolute advantage.
Apart from Qin Zhongshan, the rest of the people in Xijiang County were all defeated generals in various parts of Jiangxia Prefecture and were not worth worrying about.
With Qin Zhongshan on the evil path and Du Zizhan on their side, there was no need to fear the other side at all.
“Even so, we should still be careful.” Du Zizhan pondered, “That Qin Zhongshan is no good. Brother Yuan, please do a divination tonight to see what kind of conspiracy they are plotting.”
"Well, my horoscope had some unexpected issues a few days ago. I'll have to prepare it when I get back." Yuan Daotong touched his nose somewhat awkwardly. "Don't worry, Brother Du, I'll definitely be able to get a result by tomorrow."
……
At this moment, in the direction of Xijiang County Government, a young man dressed in a black robe stood with his hands behind his back on the city wall, gazing into the distance.
"Young Master Zhongshan, do you really think those righteous people will come?" someone behind him asked.
This man was none other than Qin Zhongshan, the young master of the Extinction Dao Sect, a thorn in the side of the righteous path and the highest-ranking figure among the heretics in Xijiang County!
“They will definitely come. They only have this one chance, and they won’t give it up.” A mysterious smile appeared on Qin Zhongshan’s lips. “Besides, we’ve been suffering defeat after defeat in other parts of Jiangxia County. These guys probably don’t even take us seriously!”
"Hehe, Young Master Zhongshan is incredibly shrewd and calculating, taking every step with care. He deliberately made us lose to them, luring us to Xijiang County to wipe them out in one fell swoop. It's laughable that those righteous people think they're extraordinary, unaware that they're being manipulated by the young master." The man said, "It's just a pity that the White Lotus Saintess and the Flying Flower Saintess didn't arrive, otherwise the chances would have been even greater."
"Hmph, the Flying Flower Palace and the White Lotus Sect have been fighting for so many years. They don't even care about the common interests of the Eight Evil Paths anymore. I will settle accounts with them sooner or later!" Qin Zhongshan sneered. "Two women are nothing to worry about. But you mustn't have any accidents on your side. Those so-called righteous people are all arrogant and conceited fools. There are only two I can think of: Du Zizhan and Yuan Daotong. You mustn't let Yuan Daotong divine anything."
"Don't worry, Young Master Zhongshan," the man laughed. "Although the Yuan family's Tui Bei Tu is powerful, my Yin Yang Sect's Yun Ji Qi Qian is no pushover either. I've long heard of Yin Yang Qian Kun's great reputation, and this time I'll have to see for myself whether it's really that powerful!"
