Perhaps not many people present here are familiar with the name of Fenglei Pavilion...
But the words "Zhongzhou" sent a deep shock through everyone present!
Everyone in the Douqi Continent knows that the true masters of the continent are almost all gathered in one place: Zhongzhou!
Looking across the Black Horn Region, and even the entire Northwest Region, a Douhuang is considered a top-tier powerhouse, and a Douzong is even the pinnacle.
As for the higher-level Douzun...
well, none of those present have ever seen a powerhouse of this level, so they are still only heard of, not seen.
Zhongzhou, however, is the core of this world, a dreamland that everyone dreams of experiencing once in their lifetime!
"Are you really from Zhongzhou?"
The woman clinging to Mo Tang's shoulder exhaled softly, her voice filled with shock and surprise.
Mo Tang smiled faintly, but didn't give her a clear answer. Instead, he whispered, "Well, we'll talk about this when we're free..."
"Hehehe, okay, then I'll be waiting for you..."
Su Mei's charming laughter spread, warming the hearts of many men present.
Tie Wu, standing next to her, glanced at her with envy, secretly cursing, "That bitch! I didn't expect she'd actually hook a golden dragon!"
If she could truly establish a connection with a Zhongzhou faction, then not only could she move her sect there, but even relying on the reputation alone would allow Su Mei to roam freely in the Black Horn Territory...
As long as she didn't provoke those taboo-like beings, even if the Black Horn Territory was filled with desperadoes, few would dare to truly provoke a terrifying existence from Zhongzhou!
But, what exactly was the rank of this Fenglei Pavilion?
The somewhat unsophisticated Tiewu speculated secretly...
At the same time, the unfamiliar Douhuang, who had been fighting Yin Gu Lao with all his might, actually bowed respectfully to Mo Tang and said, "My name is Hong Cheng, from Tianbei City in the Northern Region of Zhongzhou..."
Mo Tang raised an eyebrow.
If you mentioned other cities, I wouldn't say much.
But if you mentioned Tianbei City, then I'm not sleepy anymore!
"Tianbei City? Are you from the Hong family?" Tianbei
City belongs to the sphere of influence of the Fenglei Pavilion's North Pavilion, and the Hong family is the most powerful family in Tianbei City, constantly competing openly and secretly with another family, the Han family.
In the original novel, Xiao Yan, having just arrived in Zhongzhou, happened upon a conflict between two families. He then killed the Hong family's disciple who had joined the Northern Pavilion, thus forging a feud with the Fenglei Northern Pavilion, ultimately leading to its destruction...
Well, while the Fenglei Pavilion was considered one of Zhongzhou's top factions, its role in the original novel was similar to that of the Mohist Clan: both served as monsters for the protagonist to defeat and level up. The only difference was that the Fenglei Pavilion appeared more like a mid-level boss, while the Mohist Clan might not even be considered an elite monster...
As for Hong Cheng
, if he had some doubts before, upon hearing the other party mention the name of the Hong family from Tianbei City, he instantly confirmed his identity as a Zhongzhou resident.
After all, Zhongzhou's Northern Region was vast, with countless cities like Tianbei City. The chances of people from other regions knowing about this city, or even the families within it, were extremely small.
Furthermore, Tianbei City was already within the Fenglei North Pavilion's sphere of influence, and they had close ties. Now that the other party had such insight, he was likely an elite disciple of the Fenglei North Pavilion, perhaps even a direct disciple of some influential figure!
After some thought, Hong Cheng's attitude became even more respectful.
To everyone's astonishment, he actually bowed to Mo Tang and said, "Young Master, you're joking. Although my surname is Hong, I have no connection to the Hong family, Tianbei City's foremost clan."
Mo Tang sighed in understanding and said, "Oh, so that's how it is."
With that, he seemed to lose interest in the conversation and fell silent.
This made Hong Cheng anxious...
If he let such a great opportunity slip away, wouldn't he be in great trouble?
Besides, he had offended someone in Zhongzhou, forcing him to seek refuge in a place like the Black Horn Region. If he could cling to the Fenglei Pavilion's influence, then what was there to fear?
Thinking of this, he finally couldn't help himself. He actually knelt on one knee in mid-air, clasped his fists above his head, and said, "Young Master, Hong Cheng has long admired Fenglei Pavilion, but due to his low status and mediocre talent, he has never been able to join.
Today, I have the pleasure of meeting your majestic appearance and am deeply impressed by your stunning appearance. I am willing to hold your horse and stirrups. Please take me in!"
Mo Tang's mouth twitched wildly, clearly overwhelmed by the other party's shameless flattery...
Beside him, Su Mei stared at Hong Cheng in shock, then looked at Mo Tang, who was held in her arms, and her arms tightened involuntarily.
"Ahem, um, Hong Cheng, right?"
Mo Tang finally spoke after a somewhat awkward cough.
"This young master has no intention of accepting a servant at the moment, so you may leave."
Such a blunt refusal left many present dumbfounded...
After all, this is a Dou Huang! He
's eager to be your servant, and you refuse? You're asking for the sky!
But then again, he's from a major power in Zhongzhou, and his status is undoubtedly high. What you consider a peerless Douhuang might be nothing to him...
Thinking about it this way, doesn't his reaction make sense?
"Tsk tsk, someone like that is actually willing to be a deputy leader of Luosha Sect... Is Su Mei's life just good enough?" Disappointed by
this blunt rejection, Hong Cheng left.
He suspected the man might be resentful of his lack of connections and family resources, hence his rejection...
Apparently, even if you want to cling to someone powerful, you must have the credentials.
Su Mei stared blankly at the man she embraced, refusing to let go.
For a long moment...
"Brother Tang, are you really from Zhongzhou Fenglei Pavilion?"
Mo Tang smiled faintly and asked, "What do you think?"
Su Mei rolled her eyes at him, but she was already pretty sure.
Moreover, judging from the other party's attitude towards her, it is completely different from the cold and arrogant attitude when he rejected Hong Cheng before. It seems that he still likes her very much...
As expected, my charm is unstoppable!
If Mo Tang knew what she was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes to the sky.
Damn, do you think I don't want to accept a Douhuang-level slave? But the other party worships the title of Fenglei Pavilion, not a mere Douwang like me...
If I were really a disciple of Fenglei Pavilion, it would be fine, but I am not! If
I accept him, wouldn't it be exposed in a minute?
However, Mo Tang doesn't have the courage to subdue Hong Cheng yet...
But if he wants to use the name of Fenglei Pavilion to deceive these unsophisticated people from the three major forces, Mo Tang still has the courage, and it's very big!
Sighing, Mo Tang spread his hands pretentiously and whispered in Su Mei's ear: "Originally, I was thinking of getting along with you as an ordinary person... I didn't expect that I would be recognized..."
