High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery novel Chapter 760

Chapter 760: Chapter 601: It’s Useless Even If You Don’t Accept It

The once bustling headquarters of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association now stood deserted.

The main gate was tightly shut, and a suffocating atmosphere of desolation hung in the air.

Occasionally, passersby would widen their eyes in bewilderment upon seeing such a scene.

They couldn’t fathom what had happened to cause the once lively Martial Arts Association to fall into such a state.

The few who knew kept their lips tightly sealed.

"I’m sorry, Brother Shi, but there’s really nothing I can do about this."

In an office on the second floor, a middle-aged man looked at Shi Tao with an apologetic gaze.

This man was Yang Yi, the City Lord of Jiangnan City, an A-level Awakened.

"Brother Yang, you don’t need to feel embarrassed. This has nothing to do with you. The fact that you came here at this time is more than enough for me."

Shi Tao said with a smile.

"Yes, indeed."

Chang Fei and the others beside him nodded repeatedly.

Ordinary people wouldn’t know what had happened here.

But those with some influence in the city could find out, and as a result, they all wished to distance themselves from the Association, let alone come and see.

As the City Lord of Jiangnan City, for Yang Yi to come at this time and if word got out, the Song Family and the Revival Association wouldn’t necessarily let it pass.

That’s why their hearts were deeply touched.

"Alas."

Yang Yi sighed and then slammed the table in front of him, fuming, "These people from Feng Country are simply lawless! On the land of our Yan Country, they dare to be so arrogant! It’s outrageous!"

"It’s all because of some people in the Elder Council." Chang Fei said angrily, "It is families like the Songs that allow these Feng Country people to be so arrogant, not putting us Yan Country people in their eyes."

After his words fell, Yang Yi’s ears twitched, and he tentatively asked, "What if we blow this matter up and force the Elder Council to intervene? Would that work?"

"This?"

Shi Tao and the others exchanged glances.

"City Lord Yang, we actually discussed this, but we think it’s unlikely to work." Shen Si shook his head, "The fact that the Feng Country people could come all this way to our Yan Country is thanks to the Elder Council. Besides, our Martial Arts Association is naturally the enemy of the Noble Families. They won’t help us."

"Why not give it a try?"

Yang Yi was unwilling to give up.

"The Elder Council has a good relationship with the Revival Association. But if this matter gets blown up, everyone in Yan Country will know. They have to consider their reputation. If they allow the Revival Association to kill you, wouldn’t that chill everyone’s hearts?"

Chang Fei and the others couldn’t help but look at Shi Tao.

What Yang Yi said seemed to make some sense.

Besides, they were waiting here like sitting ducks.

Why not give it a shot, as a last resort?

Shi Tao was also somewhat tempted.

At that moment, the phone beside him rang.

The room immediately fell silent.

Yang Yi closed his mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.

"Hello, who’s this?"

Chang Fei answered the phone.

In the past two days, some people had called to inquire.

Of course, they were merely expressing concern and sympathy, which they appreciated.

"Is this the headquarters of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association?"
