The Thirteenth Prince, Xiang Chong, and the Second Prince, Xiang Li, were also here. No one expected this, not even Chu Xiu.
This was originally a grudge between him and the morgue. How did the two princes get involved?
In fact, the reason why Xiang Chong was here was very simple.
Xiang Chong wanted to rope in Sheng Tianyao, but there was something fishy about Sheng Tianyao's identity. How could he agree to Xiang Chong's request so easily?
Therefore, Sheng Tianyao did not directly agree or reject Xiang Chong's invitation. Instead, he pretended to be polite.
This time, when Xiang Chong heard that Sheng Tianyao was going to help, he hurried over to do Sheng Tianyao a favor. He wanted to let Sheng Tianyao see how courteous he was so that he could join him.
Xiang Li's appearance here was even simpler. He heard about Xiang Chong's movements and came to cause trouble.
There were so many princes in the Northern Yan, but the Crown Prince was dead. As the Second Prince, Xiang Li's ability and background were not bad. Logically speaking, he should be the most popular successor to the Crown Prince's position. Even most of the power in the Northern Yan court was inclined towards him.
However, one must not forget that the Northern Yan Emperor, Xiang Long, was still alive. Among the emperors of the Northern Yan dynasty, Xiang Long was not the founder of the country, but it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the leader of the resurgence.
When Eastern Qi was at its strongest, Xiang Long joined forces with the Northern Yan martial arts world and West Chu to resist Eastern Qi, forcibly breaking Eastern Qi's hegemony. This kind of achievement could be said to be unique among the emperors of the Northern Yan.
Therefore, in the Northern Yan court, Xiang Long's prestige was absolute.
If he did not express his opinion, then Xiang Li would be the most popular candidate to inherit the Crown Prince's position.
However, as long as Xiang Long spoke up and wanted Xiang Chong to be the Crown Prince, no one in the Northern Yan would dare to oppose him.
So in these past few years, Xiang Li had spared no effort to suppress Xiang Chong, and he wanted to make sure that Xiang Chong didn't have the slightest chance to turn things around!
As long as it was Xiang Chong's doing, he would destroy it and target it. Just like now, although he had nothing to do with the morgue, just because Xiang Chong was standing against it, he would stand on the side of the morgue.
Xiang Chong looked at Xiang Li with anger in his eyes.
Ever since he was young, he had always been suppressed by Xiang Li.
In fact, Xiang Chong did not have much ambition in the beginning. He was ranked 13th, and with so many older brothers ahead of him, the position of Crown Prince would never fall to him.
However, it was precisely because he resembled his father the most that he had been bullied and targeted by Xiang Li since he was young. As a result, Xiang Chong's mentality had also changed slightly after he grew up.
Aren't you worried that I'll steal the position of Crown Prince? Fine, I originally didn't want this position, but since you're all afraid that I'll get it, then I'll really fight for this position!
It was at this point that Xiang Chong began to prepare to fight for the position of Crown Prince. At the same time, he would have to face Xiang Li's even fiercer suppression.
The anger on Xiang Chong's face disappeared as he looked at Xiang Li. He only smiled coldly and said, "Second Brother, you've been paying a lot of attention to me. You've been following behind me all day like a shadow. Aren't you tired?"
A trace of mockery appeared on Xiang Li's face as he said, "What, are you angry? To be honest, I haven't been paying too much attention to you. I have people by your side. Don't you believe that I'll have people report to me in detail what you eat at night and which woman you sleep with, not to mention where you go? "
A look of shock appeared on Xiang Chong's face. However, he soon calmed down and only snorted coldly, "Useless provocation!"
Although Xiang Chong was young, he was no idiot. If he were to go back and investigate the people by his side with great fanfare because of Xiang Li's provocation, that would be very disappointing.
Xiang Li said slowly, "Whether it's useful or not, you know it yourself."
As he said this, Xiang Li turned his gaze to Nie Renlong and smiled, "Manor Lord Nie, the affairs of the Jianghu should be left to the Jianghu. The people of the Imperial Court will not easily interfere in the affairs of the Jianghu. Otherwise, they would be breaking the rules. Feel free to do what you want. The Northern Yan Imperial Court will not make things difficult for you, and no one will dare to. "
Nie Renlong's lips curled into a smile as he said, "Then I'll have to thank Your Highness."
With Xiang Li's words, Nie Renlong no longer had to be afraid of the Northern Yan Imperial Court.
Nie Renlong looked directly at Sheng Tianyao and said in a low voice, "Sheng Tianyao, this is my Memorial Hall's business. It has nothing to do with you. If you want to repay Chu Kuangge's kindness, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. However, if you want to interfere in this matter, then don't blame me for not showing mercy."
From Nie Renlong's point of view, Sheng Tianyao only wanted to find an opportunity to repay Chu Kuangge's kindness. His target was only the Guanzhong Torture Room, not Chu Xiu.
Now that he was going to take action with an unyielding attitude, Sheng Tianyao would most likely give in and find another opportunity to repay the Guanzhong Torture Room. There was no need to fight to the death with the Memorial Hall.
However, Nie Renlong did not know that Sheng Tianyao's real target was not the Guanzhong Torture Room, but Chu Xiu!
Sheng Tianyao did not participate in the battle on Mount Fuyu because he was the Northern Yan Imperial Court's Imperial Court's Protector and had a mission at that time. He did not have enough time.
However, Mister Lu had sent someone to inform him of the details of the great battle between the Righteous and Demonic Paths on Floating Jade Mountain. His faction was also very close to the Phaseless Demon Sect, so he naturally knew Chu Xiu's true identity.
This was the most outstanding young talent of the Yinmo branch. For this reason, Sheng Tianyao had to protect Chu Xiu.
Moreover, Mei Qinglian had also sent him a message to help Chu Xiu. Sheng Tianyao would not give in so easily.
Looking at Nie Renlong, Sheng Tianyao said coldly, "Don't care about feelings? I didn't ask you to care about feelings today!
If I watch the most outstanding disciple of the Guanzhong Torture Room's younger generation get hurt in front of me, how can I face Chu Juxia?
Anyway, as long as I'm here today, your Memorial Hall can forget about touching Chu Xiu and the others! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Tianyao had already unsheathed his long sword, and the cold light was terrifying.
Nie Renlong frowned. Sheng Tianyao's stubbornness was somewhat beyond his imagination.
In the past, Nie Renlong had never dealt with Sheng Tianyao, but he had heard of Sheng Tianyao's reputation. In his impression, Sheng Tianyao was also a rather slippery person. Today, for the sake of a dead person's kindness, he went against the Memorial Hall to the end. Was Chu Kuangge's charm that great?
Shaking his head, Nie Renlong sighed and also took a step forward. The aura around his body soared to the sky.
In fact, Nie Renlong did not like to use this kind of forceful method to solve problems. For him, it was better not to make a move if he could.
However, looking at the current situation, today's battle was inevitable.
Although Nie Renlong did not like this kind of inexplicable fight, he was not afraid to fight with others.
In the past, when the Memorial Hall was just built, the number of warriors who died under his hands was also not small!
"Sheng Tianyao, since you're so stubborn, then don't blame me for not giving you face. Today, I'd like to see the power of your Nine Abandonment Sword, and what qualifications do you have to be recruited by the Northern Yan Royal Family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Renlong had already blasted out his palm. In mid-air, the powerful Gang Qi condensed into a huge palm print that was dozens of feet wide, and it fell down.
Sheng Tianyao's eyes revealed a touch of coldness. He unsheathed the black long sword in his hand. The scabbard was black, and the blade was also as black as ink.
As he stabbed out with his sword, the surrounding night seemed to be integrated into his sword. The sword broke the dawn and tore the sky!
The sword Qi collided with the Cloud-encompassing Universe Hand and a loud boom rang out. The powerful sword Qi tore the Cloud-encompassing Universe Hand apart. However, as Nie Renlong's hands continued to dance, the power of the world around him continued to swirl and condense, completely wrapping around Sheng Tianyao.
Sheng Tianyao coldly snorted, and a black mist erupted from the body of his sword. When the sword was unsheathed, the faint howls of ghosts and gods could be heard. Countless sword Qis burst out from the black mist, tearing apart the astral energy, and once again condensed into a huge astral sword that charged towards Nie Renlong!
Sheng Tianyao's true identity was the successor of the Nine Demon Sword Sect, a major demonic sect. However, his luck was quite good. He had once accidentally obtained several ancient sword techniques, and after mastering them thoroughly, he finally condensed nine powerful sword techniques with endless transformations. This was also the origin of his nickname, Nine Abandonment Sword.
Therefore, even if Sheng Tianyao did not use his trump card, the Demon Sword, he could still exert 90% of his strength.
Nie Renlong held the Heaven and Earth in his hand, and a powerful force grabbed hold of Sheng Tianyao's Sword Intent, melting it and tearing it apart. Waves of strange and unfathomable power shot towards Sheng Tianyao along the trajectory of the Sword Intent, but Sheng Tianyao immediately retreated. The sword in his hand turned into countless Sword Qis, and they attacked from all directions.
The two Martial Dao masters were locked in a stalemate, but the more they fought, the deeper Nie Renlong's frown became.
As a famous figure in the Jianghu, Nie Renlong was confident in his strength. If he took out his trump card and went all out, he had a certain degree of confidence in defeating Sheng Tianyao.
However, the problem was that Sheng Tianyao seemed to have gone mad. He actually went all out against him, as if he wanted to protect Chu Xiu even if he had to risk his life.
Therefore, even if Nie Renlong went all out, he was not confident that he could escape unscathed when facing Sheng Tianyao in this state.
He was the leader of the morgue and the only Martial Dao master in the entire morgue. If he was injured and needed to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time, there was no telling what would happen to the morgue. If the news were to spread, Nie Renlong could not guarantee that his enemies would not hit him when he was down.
Therefore, Nie Renlong was also conflicted at the moment. Should he go all out and even pay the price of injury to get rid of Sheng Tianyao, then kill Chu Xiu, or should he just give up?
After a quarter of an hour of intense battle, Nie Renlong took the initiative to retreat more than 30 meters and said with a gloomy gaze, "Sheng Tianyao, how much did Chu Kuangge owe you in the past? Is it worth it for you to risk your life for a junior martial artist in the Guanzhong Torture Room?"
