Chapter 963 Big Trouble
Xue Chuan's powerful aura caused Yin Tianlu and Wu Ying's expressions to change drastically.
"Fourth-grade Internal Energy Grandmaster!"
Yin Tianlu's eyes trembled. How could another Fourth-grade Internal Energy Grandmaster appear?
Could it be that Jiangnan Province's luck had truly changed?
After all, Jiangnan Province had always been considered a weak province in martial arts.
However, he was unaware that it was Chen Xuan who had forged so many Internal Energy Grandmasters!
Wu Ying's face darkened, but he remained confident. As a fellow Fourth-grade Internal Energy Grandmaster, he possessed immense self-assurance.
The auras of both sides clashed violently!
For many, it was like a thunderclap in their minds.
Bang bang bang...
Under the immense pressure, the vases, ornaments, and chandeliers in the entire room were shattered.
The room was in a mess, as if it had experienced an earthquake.
"Hmph! Trash..." Wu Ying chuckled playfully.
He hadn't used his full strength.
The next moment, his smile froze...
Xue Chuan's aura erupted, a wild force pressing down like a majestic mountain!
Puff!
Wu Ying, the Martial Alliance's representative, turned pale and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood: "How can you be so strong..."
With that, he slumped to the ground with a thud, losing consciousness.
Everyone was stunned, especially Yin Tianlu, the leader of the Martial Alliance. He could never have imagined that Wu Ying, the guardian of the Jiangnan Province Martial Alliance, would be defeated in a clash of auras!
He couldn't understand it, as in his impression, Wu Ying had never lost.
Staring at the unconscious Wu Ying, Xue Chuan said indifferently, "Hardening Grandmaster, invincible in the same realm!"
Hardening Grandmaster...
Upon hearing this, Yin Tianlu revealed a wry smile. No wonder, Hardening Grandmasters were indeed formidable.
"Yin Tianlu, I'm asking you, are you releasing the person or not!"
Xue Chuan's eyes narrowed, a cold glint shot out, fixing his gaze on Yin Tianlu.
Being swept by that gaze, Yin Tianlu's scalp tingled.
Yin Tianlu gritted his teeth and said, bracing himself:
"To be honest, this matter needs to be consulted with Provincial Governor Wang. It was Provincial Governor Wang who ordered the arrest. I cannot release the person easily. How about this, I will call Provincial Governor Wang to get his instructions..."
His words were clearly intended to intimidate them with the authority of Provincial Governor Wang!
They weren't afraid of the Martial Alliance leader, but they should be afraid of Provincial Governor Wang, after all, Wang Zhonghua was the most powerful man in the provincial capital!
"Make the call!"
Xue Chuan also knew that the Martial Alliance leader wouldn't dare to arrest Mr. Chen without authorization.
He wouldn't have the guts even if given ten times the courage!
Yin Tianlu gasped, not expecting Xue Chuan to actually dare to tell him to make the call.
He took out his phone, but before he could dial, Provincial Governor Wang Zhonghua called. "Provincial Governor Wang, is there anything?"
Wang Zhonghua said in a deep voice, "I want to talk to you about Chen Xuan's case..."
Yin Tianlu quickly asked, "Has it been investigated clearly?"
"The investigation into the case is still ongoing. I want to tell you that this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and there must be absolutely no favoritism or corruption. Also, absolutely do not use torture, nor any extreme methods..."
Hearing Wang Zhonghua's words, Yin Tianlu understood that Wang Zhonghua likely also had significant pressure from higher up.
"That Provincial Governor Wang, I understand. Please rest assured, I will definitely keep a close eye on this matter."
Then, Wang Zhonghua was about to hang up. Yin Tianlu hurriedly said, "Provincial Governor Wang, please don't hang up!"
"Oh? What is it? Is there anything else?"
"That Provincial Governor Wang, I have a bit of a difficult situation here, and I'd like you to explain it..."
In fact, Yin Tianlu originally wanted to complain and have Wang Zhonghua deal with these people, but judging from Wang Zhonghua's tone just now, he changed his mind. Clearly, someone had already pressured Wang Zhonghua.
Wang Zhonghua immediately understood, realizing that Yin Tianlu was also under immense pressure. He sighed, "Give the phone to them, I'll explain to them."
So Yin Tianlu handed the phone to Xue Chuan. "Provincial Governor Wang wants to speak with you."
Xue Chuan frowned and took the phone. After a moment, he hung up.
"Xue Chuan, how was it?" Yang Chaotian couldn't help but ask.
The others also looked over nervously, worried that Xue Chuan couldn't withstand the pressure from Wang Zhonghua.
Xue Chuan glanced at them and said solemnly, "Let's go back first."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked and dismayed!
"Why should we go back? We're not going back!"
"Didn't we agree before coming that we wouldn't leave until Mr. Chen was rescued!"
"Xue Chuan, what did Wang Zhonghua say to you?" Yang Chaotian questioned.
Xue Chuan's expression was blank, and he said coldly, "We'll talk about it when we get back..."
The others were unwilling, but Yang Chaotian frowned, seemingly recalling something, and advised, "Alright, let's go back first. Something must have happened that we don't know about."
"Fine!"
Everyone exchanged glances, nodded, and prepared to leave.
Yin Tianlu was overjoyed at this, and a smug expression immediately appeared on his face.
Although he didn't know what Wang Zhonghua had said to them, their obedient departure now implied they had backed down!
He sneered, "Aren't you guys so capable? You even dared to kick my office door? Why are you leaving in such a dejected manner now? Aren't you capable? If you're so capable, why don't you just rip my office door off its hinges? Hmph!"
As soon as he finished speaking, with a bang, the office door was kicked flying!
Yin Tianlu was stunned, then became furious, "You scoundrels! You wait and see, I will absolutely not let you go!"
"Hmph!"
Xue Chuan disdained, strode away, and the others also sneered and turned to leave.
After everyone left, Yin Tianlu was raging, "You're making me so angry, so angry! You all just wait!"
Just then, a member of the Martial Alliance rushed in, shouting, "Big trouble! Big trouble!"
After the Martial Alliance member entered, he saw the damaged office door and was greatly surprised, swallowing all his words.
Who dared to kick down the door of the Martial Alliance leader's office?
Seeing the look in his subordinate's eyes, Yin Tianlu's face darkened, and he snapped irritably, "If you have something to say, say it quickly!"
The subordinate retracted his gaze and hurriedly said, "Alliance Leader, big trouble is brewing. According to reliable sources, experts from Chuan Province have come to Jiangnan Province to challenge!"
"What? How is that possible?"
Yin Tianlu's expression changed, and he blurted out.
"It's absolutely true. Several martial arts schools have already reported that experts from Chuan Province have kicked their schools and even removed their plaques and thrown them into the septic tank!" the subordinate said.
"This is going to be a big problem!"
Yin Tianlu's breathing hitched, and he wailed.
Chuan Province and Jiangnan Province had deep-seated animosity, with a long history. The reasons were unknown, but the two sides looked down on each other.
Chuan Province was full of experts, and martial arts experts would come to Jiangnan Province every year to challenge various masters, aiming to humiliate Jiangnan Province.
It would be one thing if Jiangnan Province were strong, but it was notoriously weak.
Once a year, without exception, each time it was a day of shame for Jiangnan Province. As the leader of the Martial Alliance, Yin Tianlu naturally bore the brunt of it. Sometimes, when he attended martial arts exchanges, he was humiliated by others for this matter, unable to even hold his head high.
In the past, they had barely maintained a shred of dignity by relying on the experts from the Gao family, Murong family, Bailong Chamber of Commerce, and Changle Chamber of Commerce. But would the Gao family and others still step in now?
