In the small restaurant, dozens of warriors were sitting and drinking. It was noisy and seemed very chaotic.
The Jiangnan Gathering was about to begin. The restaurants, brothels, and other places in the center of the Jiangnan Prefecture were either only open to a few famous experts of the Jianghu, or they were all reserved by the large sects. The wandering martial artists could only squeeze into the small restaurants.
Seeing Li Chenfeng come here, those individual cultivators were very surprised.
This was an expert ranked 23rd on the Ranking List of Young Masters. Although he had been criticized a lot recently, he was still a direct descendant of the Longxi Li Family and a Tanhua of the imperial court of the Zhou Kingdom. He had nothing to do with individual cultivators like them. What was he doing here?
"Which one is Sun Jiuchen?" Li Chenfeng asked with a frown.
At one of the tables, a big man with a long saber on his back stood up. He cupped his hands at Li Chenfeng and said respectfully, "I am Sun Jiuchen. May I know why Young Master Li is looking for me?"
"You and your friends come out. I have something to say to you."
Sun Jiuchen was a little confused, but since Li Chenfeng invited him, he brought the other three people at his table and followed Li Chenfeng out.
Anyway, it was the time of the Jiangnan Gathering. Most of the young generation of warriors in the world were gathered here. With so many eyes watching, he was not worried that Li Chenfeng would harm him.
Moreover, the other party was a direct descendant of the Longxi Li Family and a Tanhua expert on the Ranking List of Young Masters, Li Chenfeng. He really could not think of any reason for the other party to harm a small individual cultivator like him.
After bringing the other party into an alley, Li Chenfeng asked, "Is Liu Tianyuan, who was killed by Su Xin, your friend?"
Sun Jiuchen said cautiously, "He can't be considered a friend. He can only be said to be a like-minded Jianghu friend."
Li Chenfeng waved his hand and said, "Don't be so nervous. I have nothing to do with Liu Tianyuan. I only called you here to ask you. Liu Tianyuan died at the hands of Su Xin. As his friends, don't you want to avenge him?"
Sun Jiuchen and the others looked at each other. Finally, Sun Jiuchen smiled bitterly and said, "That Su Xin is an expert ranked 22nd on the Young Ranking List. If we go there, it won't be revenge, but death."
In fact, Sun Jiuchen didn't say that even if Su Xin wasn't on the Human List, they wouldn't avenge Liu Tianyuan.
Although these rogue cultivators had some friendship with each other, it was far from being close friends of life and death.
They didn't have the resolve to risk their lives for a friend they could talk to.
Li Chenfeng said indifferently, "It's fine if you don't dare to be enemies with Su Xin, but I dare. As long as you cooperate with me, I can cripple that Su Xin this time!"
Sun Jiuchen asked, "How does Young Master Li want us to cooperate?"
Li Chenfeng said, "It's very simple. Tomorrow, you just have to go find that Su Xin and say that you want to seek justice for Liu Tianyuan. The more intense the words, the better. You must provoke Su Xin into making a move against you."
Sun Jiuchen and the others' faces immediately turned pale. He hurriedly said, "Young Master Li, you might as well kill us directly!
What kind of person is that Su Xin? He kills people at the slightest disagreement. He's almost the same as those people from the Devil Dao. If we challenge him with our strength, we won't even be able to withstand a single slash from him! "
"What are you afraid of?!" Li Chenfeng berated. "Did I say that I want you to die? You just have to let Su Xin make a move. With me and other experts around, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you. "
Although Li Chenfeng said so, Sun Jiuchen and the others were still somewhat hesitant.
Although they hadn't seen Su Xin make a move, they had known Liu Tianyuan for several years. They already knew that Liu Tianyuan's strength was about the same as theirs.
Liu Tianyuan was killed by Su Xin with a single strike. He didn't even have the chance to react. It was obvious what the consequences would be if they went.
Although Li Chenfeng said that he would protect them from the side, Sun Jiuchen and the others still didn't want to put their lives in the hands of others.
Seeing their expressions, Li Chenfeng said indifferently, "Aren't you lingering in this Jiangnan Association because you want to make a name for yourselves overnight and fight for a good place in the future?
If you agree to this, I will immediately recommend you as guests of my Li Family. From then on, you will have no worries for the rest of your lives. Isn't it more glorious than becoming a guest elder of a small sect in the future?
Sun Jiuchen and the others revealed a trace of joy. Li Chenfeng's promise just happened to move them.
Unaffiliated martial artists like them didn't have a fixed residence and didn't have the support of cultivation resources. It was already not easy to cultivate to the Xiantian Realm. If they wanted to advance further, it would be even more difficult.
Now that Li Chenfeng promised them the status of guests, there was no reason for Sun Jiuchen and the others not to be tempted.
Although the Li Family wasn't one of the six major families, it could still be ranked among the top in the Jianghu.
How could a guest elder of a small sect compare to joining such a family?
Sun Jiuchen and the others thought about it, then finally gritted their teeth and agreed.
As the saying went, "Fortune is found in danger." Being a guest of the Li Family was enough for them to take the risk.
Naturally, Su Xin didn't know about Li Chenfeng and Hu Jingyan's schemes. He was currently in closed-door cultivation in the inn, trying to break through to the Divinity level again.
Unfortunately, after that time, Su Xin couldn't find that ethereal feeling again. It was as if there was some barrier between his Divinity Palace and the world. No matter how hard Su Xin tried, he couldn't break through it.
Su Xin also wanted to search the system's store, but unfortunately, breaking through to the Divinity level didn't require inner strength and True Qi, but luck. So far, there were no pills that could help him break through to the Divinity level quickly and effectively.
Since he couldn't break through to the Divinity level, Su Xin didn't want to waste this useless effort. He left the inn to take a walk.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the inn, he felt as if someone was staring at him.
Su Xin sneered in his heart and didn't care. The only person who had a grudge against him in the Jiangnan Prefecture was Li Chenfeng, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
The Li Family was indeed very powerful, second only to the six major families. Unfortunately, even if Li Chenfeng went to the Li Family to complain, the Li Family wouldn't help Li Chenfeng deal with him at a time like this. There was only one reason, and that was because of the rules.
What was the difference between a righteous sect and an evil sect?
Nine out of ten people in Jianghu would answer this question by saying that righteous sects were chivalrous, evil sects were cruel and murderous, and so on.
But ever since Su Xin stepped into Jianghu, he hadn't seen many righteous disciples who would do anything chivalrous. Most of the time they fought, it was because of the sect's internal strife or because they were competitive.
Therefore, in Su Xin's opinion, the biggest difference between the so-called righteous sects and the evil sects was that one followed the rules, while the other did not.
If a righteous sect wanted to kill someone, they would arrange a righteous excuse. There would be a reason for them to kill someone or even exterminate their entire family. Therefore, they stood on the side of morality and got rid of evil for the people.
On the other hand, if the evil sects wanted to kill someone, they didn't have so many concerns. If they wanted to kill someone, they would kill. They acted unscrupulously. Their methods were crueler and more ruthless than the righteous sects, so they were labeled as evil sects.
It was because of this rule that during the Jiangnan Gathering, the older generation of martial artists from various sects were not allowed to fight because it was a grand gathering of the younger generation in Jianghu.
During the Jiangnan Gathering, if the older generation of martial artists attacked, it would be suppressing the younger generation of disciples. This would be despised by the entire Jianghu. No one dared to take the risk and do such a thing.
It was just like how Hu Jingyan had to find a good excuse to attack Su Xin. Although he wasn't considered a senior in Jianghu, he was still someone ranked on the ranking list of the previous generation. Attacking without permission was also a taboo.
Of course, even if the Li family really did attack, Su Xin had ways to deal with them.
Don't forget that Su Xin had another identity. He was a Wind-Chasing Patroller of Six Doors and was directly under the jurisdiction of the headquarters of Six Doors.
Although the Li family was a martial arts family, they had a close relationship with the Imperial Court.
Six Doors was one of the two largest military organizations in the Imperial Court of Zhou Kingdom. Would the Li family dare to not give Six Doors face?
As long as Su Xin revealed his identity as a Wind-Chasing Patroller, as long as the Li family wasn't crazy, they wouldn't dare to attack him again.
If the fight between the younger generation escalated to the point where the Li family dared to not give Six Doors face, then things would get out of hand.
As for whether or not exposing his identity as a Wind-Chasing Patroller would affect his reputation, Su Xin had long since stopped considering it.
After all, ever since he killed an entire family, his reputation in Jianghu was almost the same as those of the evil sects.
As long as he had even the slightest connection with the demonic sects, it was guaranteed that the next day, the Jianghu would spread the news that Su Xin, a cultivator on the ranking list, had completely fallen into the demonic sects.
At this time, the crowd in front of Su Xin suddenly parted. Four martial artists approached aggressively. Su Xin's eyes narrowed. These four people were coming for him!
The four of them were naturally Sun Jiuchen and the other three.
Su Xin had stayed in the inn for a full two days. Sun Jiuchen and the others had waited outside for two days. Li Chenfeng had also sent people to wait outside. Only now did they finally wait for Su Xin to come out.
Sun Jiuchen and the others came in front of Su Xin with grief and indignation. "Su Xin, even if you are a cultivator on the ranking list, you have gone too far this time!
My brother, Liu Tianyuan, sincerely wanted to ask for advice from you. In the end, you ruthlessly killed him. There was no enmity between us. Where is justice! Today, I must seek justice for my brother! "
When the surrounding people heard that Sun Jiuchen and the others were actually here to seek justice for Liu Tianyuan, who was killed by Su Xin, they were immediately stunned.
The strength of these wandering martial artists was simply heaven and earth apart from Su Xin. They actually dared to challenge Su Xin. Were they tired of living?
Of course, there were also people who secretly sighed that these four people were really loyal. For the sake of a brother who was killed, they actually dared to seek justice from the vicious Su Xin.
However, there was a trace of mockery in Su Xin's eyes.
To seek justice for Liu Tianyuan? Only a fool would believe such words.
