Chapter 371 - Elegant Scum
Yin Zhiping himself had the strength of the peak Profound Realm. How could those people’s voices escape his ears?
When he heard those people discussing and praising Gong Ziliang’s poems, when they mentioned him, their mouths were filled with ridicule, and they were immediately furious.
“Damn couple, if you don’t get out in three breaths, I’ll tear down this zither shop and bury you!”
As Yin Zhiping shouted, he raised three fingers and pressed down heavily on one.
“Three!”
There was no movement in the attic.
“Two!”
Yin Zhiping pressed down on the second finger, the fierceness in his eyes becoming stronger.
“One!”
The last finger quickly pressed down, and killing intent appeared in Yin Zhiping’s eyes.
At the same time, the Crippled Heaven Elder behind him took a step forward, completely ignoring the fact that it would affect the onlookers. The aura of the late-stage True Martial Realm condensed into an invisible spiritual qi mountain that pressed down on the zither shop pavilion in front of him.
As the spiritual qi mountain descended, the main body of the pavilion immediately emitted a creaking sound that made one’s teeth ache, causing the expressions of the onlookers to suddenly change.
True Martial experts were extremely terrifying. Just the spiritual qi they mobilized could easily crush an attic.
If he attacked with all his strength, he could probably burn the city and river alone!
One person’s strength could shake three armies!
While everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them, two figures strolled out of the attic and stood in front of it.
It was Gong Ziliang and Lin Anruo.
One was the most popular courtesan in Firewood City recently. It was said that even the current princes were infatuated with her.
One was Gong Ziliang, who had literary talent and was so powerful that he could suppress the heir of the Duke’s Mansion of the Flat River Dynasty.
At this moment, everyone looked at the two of them and four words could not help but appear in their minds: A match made in heaven.
“I was wondering who was barking outside. So it’s my defeated opponent.”
However, in the next moment, a casual voice sounded from Gong Ziliang’s mouth.
To everyone, there was a series of violent thunder in their ears!
Yin Zhiping’s identity was not an ordinary heir…
His ancestors had followed him before the founding of the Flat River Dynasty. With this merit, the Yin Family could inherit the title of Duke.
It was not an exaggeration to say that among the descendants of the Flat River Dynasty, other than the Crown Prince, everyone else could not compare to Yin Zhiping’s status.
With the current power of the Flat River Dynasty, even the princes of other dynasties could not obtain any status in front of Yin Zhiping.
Not to mention anything else, just the experts brought by Yin Zhiping were seven True Martial Realm experts and nearly twenty Profound Realm experts.
Such a formation was completely effortless to wipe out the territories under some dynasties.
It would take at most half a day to flatten Firewood City.
Under such circumstances, Gong Ziliang actually did not quickly kneel down and beg for mercy and even spoke arrogantly and provocatively.
It made everyone feel that he was afraid that he would not die too miserably later.
Towards Gong Ziliang’s words, Yin Zhiping did not show any anger on his face. Instead, he said disdainfully, “Gong Ziliang, you colluded with this slut and obtained the topic of the poetry competition in advance. That’s why you were lucky to win against me.”
As soon as Yin Zhiping finished speaking, he gave the Crippled Heaven Elder behind him a look. The latter understood and stretched out his hand to wave. He swept over Cai Lian, who was tied up with spiritual qi from behind, and threw her at Yin Zhiping’s feet.
“This is Lin Anruo’s personal maid. I believe some of you know her. Lin Anruo asked her to leak the question to Gong Ziliang.”
“Of course, just this lowly maid’s words are not enough to convince me.”
“However, before today’s poetry gathering, we all saw it. Lin Anruo asked her to hand a note to Gong Ziliang.”
As soon as Yin Zhiping finished speaking, a few people who were participating in the poetry gathering stood out to express that they had indeed seen it with their own eyes.
Originally, everyone was still suspicious of Yin Zhiping’s accusation.
However, when they saw the princes and descendants of the various dynasties express their stance, they immediately believed them.
Taking in everyone’s reaction, Yin Zhiping could not help but reveal a satisfied smile.
With the people he brought, killing Gong Ziliang was as simple as crushing an ant.
However, at the poetry gathering, he had lost too badly. Therefore, before killing Gong Ziliang, he had to let him have a taste of his own medicine!
Gong Ziliang seemed to be unable to refute Yin Zhiping’s accusations. He stood there without saying a word.
In the eyes of the onlookers, his performance immediately swept away the last two traces of uncertainty in their hearts.
They all firmly believed that the reason why Yin Zhiping was not a match for Gong Ziliang at the poetry competition was because Lin Anruo had told him the question in advance.
“Such a person is really an elegant scum!”
“Back then, although Duke Yin and the Great Ancestor of the Flat River Dynasty fought their way into the world on the back of the War Beast, the Duke’s Mansion has produced many geniuses in recent years. They’re more than enough to suppress the ten kingdoms. I believe they attracted jealousy and hatred because of this and wanted to use such a despicable method to damage the reputation of the Duke’s Mansion!”
“Heaven doesn’t hide evil! Fortunately, Prince Yin came out in time to clarify. Otherwise, we would probably be deceived by the methods of the villains.”
In the crowd, the people Yin Zhiping had planted in advance took the lead to shout. Soon, it attracted a huge reaction, causing everyone to feel indignant.
Seeing this, Yin Zhiping knew that his goal had been achieved. If this continued, if Gong Ziliang used any more methods, although the Crippled Heaven Elder and the experts he brought were around, it was still a variable.
“Gong Ziliang, you and the Demoness Lin Anruo set up a trap to target me and the descendants of the various dynasties. There’s definitely a mastermind behind this. I want to bring the two of you back for interrogation!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you directly. I’ll only break your limbs. When I have sex with this Beauty Lin, I’ll let you watch from the side.”
The last sentence was secretly sent by Yin Zhiping, so only Gong Ziliang and Lin Anruo could hear it.
Lin Anruo’s expression changed instantly.
Her confidence came from her charm technique.
However, in this environment, forget about whether she had the chance to use it, even if she used it, it would be difficult to affect Yin Zhiping who was protected by the Crippled Heaven Elder.
While her heart was cold, she turned to look at Gong Ziliang at the side. Just as she was about to speak, a rumbling sound of iron hooves sounded from behind the crowd of onlookers.
The sudden commotion instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
When they saw guards in gold lined up in a battle formation and advancing, their terrifying killing intent spread through the air, everyone immediately began to turn around.
“Golden… Golden Armor Army!”
They recognized the origin of these Golden Armor Guards and immediately ignored their appearance and rolled to the side to dodge.
No matter how noble Yin Zhiping’s status was, he was still the heir of the Flat River Dynasty.
As for the Golden Armor Army, it was the personal army under the monarch. To the commoners of the Monet Dynasty who were born and raised in Firewood City, it was undoubtedly more intimidating.
