To most martial artists in the underworld, a Martial Dao master was an unreachable existence.
Lv Fengxian dared to go all out in the face of a martial artist at the Oneness of Heaven and Man Realm, and he also had the courage to go all out. However, they were now facing an expert at the Martial Dao grandmaster level. Even with Lv Fengxian's temperament, he could not help but feel a little desperate at this time.
However, Chu Xiu was very calm at this moment, and he seemed to have nothing to fear.
Just as Nie Renlong was about to make a move, a slightly old voice suddenly sounded. "If Guan Siyu isn't worthy of your respect, then what about I?"
Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw an old man in a black robe with a black longsword hanging on his waist walking toward them. With a single step, he covered a distance of more than ten feet. His aura was shocking, and it was clear that he was also a Martial Dao Master.
Behind the old man was a young man in his twenties. Although he was only at the physical invulnerability stage, he had an extraordinary aura. It was obvious that he wasn't someone easy to deal with.
Lu Fengxian was stunned. He looked at Chu Xiu and sent a voice transmission in confusion. "Brother Chu, did you find him?"
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Never overestimate your opponent's bottom line. The so-called not to bully the weak in the underworld is just a casual saying. In the face of absolute strength, even if you really bully the weak, what can others do to you? I guessed that Nie Renlong would make a move this time, so I made some preparations in advance. Now, it really came in handy. "
Lu Fengxian nodded, but she didn't know if he took it in.
However, the others could tell that although Official Chu and Lu Fengxian were good friends, the two of them had completely different personalities. Only God knew how they became friends.
To put it nicely, Lu Fengxian's personality was carefree and casual. To put it bluntly, she was a little impulsive and pure.
Even in the midst of escaping, Lv Fengxian actually did not have any plans. She was completely relying on her own strength to forcefully kill her way out. Wherever she wanted to go, she would go. Although she looked valiant and powerful, there was no order to speak of.
On the other hand, Chu Xiu's personality was very obvious. He would plan before taking action. In terms of using his brain, Chu Xiu was obviously better than Lu Fengxian.
However, in the eyes of the crowd, Chu Xiu and Lu Fengxian working together was a good idea. Chu Xiu would plan the overall situation, while Lu Fengxian would fight. The two of them could work well together.
At this moment, Nie Renlong looked at the newcomer and frowned. He said in confusion, "'Nine Abandonment Sword' Sheng Tianyao! What are you doing here? As far as I know, you have nothing to do with the Guanzhong torture room or Chu Xiu! "
The person in front of him was the Northern Yan's famous Loose Cultivator, 'Nine Abandonment Sword' Sheng Tianyao. Nie Renlong had long heard of his name, but he had not really interacted with him.
However, if the other party was really a pure Loose Cultivator, Nie Renlong would not be afraid of him at all.
No matter what, he was the leader of the Righteous Manor, one of the Six Gangs. Why would he be afraid of a Loose Cultivator? He did not even want to give face to Guan Siyu, let alone Sheng Tianyao.
However, the crux of the problem was that Sheng Tianyao's background was not as simple as a Loose Cultivator. Sheng Tianyao was the Northern Yan's Royal Consecrator. He was the kind of Consecrator who was loyal only to the Northern Yan Royal Family. Simply put, Sheng Tianyao was the Northern Yan Royal Family's hired thug. He was backed by the entire Northern Yan Royal Family!
Nie Renlong could not care less about the Guanzhong torture room, but he could not ignore the Northern Yan Royal Family and the Northern Yan Royal Family.
Since ancient times, the Jianghu and the Royal Family had always been at odds with each other. The people of the Jianghu did not want to be bound by the rules of the Royal Family, and the Royal Family did not want the people of the Jianghu to exist.
Unfortunately, both sides could not do anything to each other. Therefore, the Jianghu and the Royal Family had reached a tacit agreement.
As long as the sects in the Jianghu did not become too arrogant and did not challenge the authority of the Royal Family, the Royal Family would not act against the people of the Jianghu.
As long as the Royal Family did not want to completely eradicate the people of the Jianghu, most of the people of the Jianghu would abide by the rules and would not break them.
Therefore, when the people of the Jianghu fought in the state capitals, they would deliberately control their strength. It did not matter if they broke something, but if they really hurt innocent people, it would be a violation of the rules and could easily cause the Royal Family to intervene.
Although the Royal Family and the Jianghu were at odds, they also had areas where they could work together.
For example, in the past, the Eastern Qi was extremely powerful. It occupied the rich lands of the Central Plains and had the momentum to conquer the mountains and rivers. It even fought against the Northern Yan and Western Chu at the same time.
The Northern Yan was able to defeat the Eastern Qi and destroy the small country Wei Kingdom that was attached to Eastern Qi, becoming the Northern Yan's Wei County. It was all thanks to the old emperor of the Northern Yan, Emperor Wu of Yan, Xiang Long's unparalleled courage. He joined forces with the Northern Yan Jianghu to fight against the Eastern Qi and won the war.
Therefore, since then, the Northern Yan could be said to be the country with the closest relationship with the people of the Jianghu among the three countries. Recruiting Foreign Officials had almost become an open rule.
Sheng Tianyao was a member of the Royal Family, and he had been a member of the Northern Yan Royal Family for more than ten years. He had a deep network of connections. In the Northern Yan, Sheng Tianyao was indeed more influential than Guan Siyu.
Of course, this was only Sheng Tianyao's identity on the surface. According to the news from Mei Qinglian, Sheng Tianyao was a martial arts grandmaster of the Yinmo Clan and the only successor of the Nine Demon Sword Sect, a great demonic sect in the past.
Therefore, his identity was not only the 'Nine Abandonment Sword' Sheng Tianyao, but also the Nine Demon Sword.
Sheng Tianyao sneered. "Although I have nothing to do with Chu Xiu, I have a relationship with the Guanzhong Torture Room.
In the past, I was young and impetuous, and I offended someone I shouldn't have. If it wasn't for Chu Juxia, I wouldn't have the strength I have today.
Now that the Guanzhong Torture Room's power has been stabilized, I can't find a chance to repay Chu Juxia's kindness. Now that I've finally found a chance, how can I ignore the young talents of the Guanzhong Torture Room?
"Nie Renlong, I know what kind of person you are. I also know about the bullsh * t things you did in the past. However, I didn't expect that you're getting worse and worse. You're actually bullying the weak in such a righteous and self-righteous manner.
Anyway, with me here today, you can't touch a single person from the Guanzhong Torture Room! "
Nie Renlong frowned. He didn't expect that this matter would attract the old man Sheng Tianyao.
Nie Renlong didn't doubt Sheng Tianyao's words. After all, when Chu Kuangge was roaming the Jianghu, there were too many martial artists who owed him favors, so many that they couldn't be counted.
Even if only a tenth of them remembered Chu Kuangge's kindness, it would still be a terrifying thing. Just like now, Nie Renlong had calculated everything, but he did not expect Sheng Tianyao to interfere.
At this moment, the young man behind Sheng Tianyao smiled and said, "Villa Master Nie, where possible, one should forgive and forget. If you go too far, it won't look good for anyone, right?"
This young man was only in the physical invulnerability realm, but his tone carried a hint of superiority. Even when he was facing Nie Renlong, the villa master of the Righteous Manor, he was still like this.
Nie Renlong frowned and said, "Who are you?"
A martial artist in the physical invulnerability realm actually dared to speak to him in such a tone. Even if he used the dumbest method, he would know that the other party was either an idiot, or he was confident.
The young man smiled and said, "That's easy. My name is Xiang Chong. Villa Master Nie should have heard of my name."
Nie Renlong's eyes narrowed. Of course he knew this name!
He was the thirteenth prince of the current Emperor, and also the most favored son of the Emperor, the thirteenth prince, Xiang Chong!
Although the Northern Yan Emperor Xiang Long was old, his body was still healthy, and he had many descendants.
The previous Northern Yan Crown Prince died in an accident a few years ago. No one knew what Xiang Long was thinking, but he never appointed another Crown Prince. This gave his descendants the opportunity to covet the throne.
Right now, the Thirteenth Prince was a popular candidate for the position of Crown Prince. Although he was very young and did not have enough experience in the Northern Yan court, Xiang Chong's only advantage was that he looked very similar to Xiang Long when he was young, almost ninety percent similar. Therefore, he was also the one Xiang Long doted on the most among all the princes.
At this moment, Xiang Chong was standing on Sheng Tianyao's side and pressuring him. This prince probably wanted to rope in Sheng Tianyao.
After all, Xiang Chong's foundation in the imperial court was weak. Whether it was in the military, the civil officials, or the imperial court, he did not have much power. Therefore, it was not a bad idea to target the royal family.
Nie Renlong could almost guess the cause and effect of these things at a glance, but he did not want to make an enemy of a prince.
If he offended Xiang Chong, although he was not the Crown Prince, he still had all kinds of ways to make trouble for him.
Although a prince could not influence the Emperor's decision to destroy the morgue, he could at least cause some trouble for the morgue.
But at this moment, a cold voice was heard. "I say, thirteenth brother, you really have your hands in the pugilistic world. Aren't you afraid of being scolded by father? Don't be afraid, Heightslord Nie. My thirteenth brother is just a fox borrowing the tiger's might. He does not have much power in the imperial court. Just because of father's favor, he let father deal with the morgue, one of the Six Gangs. Father is not that stupid. "
Another group of people came from afar. The leader was a young man in his thirties. He wore a golden robe and had a small mustache. He had an extraordinary aura. Behind him were a few eunuchs and a few maids. He was much more arrogant than Xiang Chong.
This time, Nie Renlong did not need to hear the name to know that this person had a powerful background. He was the Second Prince, Xiang Li.
Since ancient times, the imperial court had always respected the elders and not the juniors.
With the Crown Prince dead, as the second prince, he had the greatest hope. Therefore, Xiang Li had many supporters in the imperial court. Other than not being favored by Xiang Chong, everyone else was stronger than Xiang Chong.
