"Have you heard? A fight is about to break out!"

"Who told you that?"

"That's what my cousin from my aunt's second son-in-law's family said."

"Is that the third-class deacon from the Eighth Street of the Ten Thousand Blades Sect?"

"Yes, he said the entire Ten Thousand Blades Sect has been mobilized, and all martial artists have been recalled to prepare for battle at any time!"

"It shouldn't be that bad! The Dragon Gate Master is a top expert on the Heavenly Hero Ranking, do you really think people from Tiandu would dare to start a full-scale war?"

"You probably don't know, but all the shops in Yanliu Lane were closed last night!"

Yanliu Lane, with its eighteen-story buildings, is the most extravagant place in Tianjiang City.

The entire alley was owned by Miaoyu Tower, one of the dominant powers in Jiangzhou. The fact that it was closed at the same time could only mean one thing: Miaoyu Tower had received word of it.

"The spirit of Jiangzhou is indeed vigorous and strong."

I never expected that they could work together so well even when facing the four great families of Tiandu.

Although the result will definitely be a futile effort, the courage is commendable!

In this situation, I only wish to compose a poem.

In the teahouse, a refined middle-aged man in a brocade hat and sable fur coat spoke in a clear voice.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Where did this idiot come from!"

"He even recited a poem! He's completely clueless!"

"Gentlemen, what is the meaning of this?"

The refined middle-aged man looked puzzled.

"Brother He, some things are not secrets in Jiangzhou!"

The Dragon Master of the Ten Thousand Blades Sect is known in the martial arts world as the bully of Jiangzhou!

Other dominant forces have all been bullied by him to varying degrees.

At this time, they would rather kick someone when they're down than stand together with the Ten Thousand Blades Sect to fight the enemy.

The Myriad Desires Pavilion has probably already defected!

Just then, his refined middle-aged companion explained.

"I see!"

The refined middle-aged man suddenly realized.

In contrast to the bustling teahouses in the city, the Zhenwu Division was shrouded in a somber atmosphere.

......

Liu and the other two did not share their conjectures.

The three of them looked relaxed, showing no signs of anything amiss.

Seeing how relaxed they were, Zhang Chunxiang, the master of Taihu Pavilion, and Qin Ruxian, the master of Miaoyu Tower, finally felt relieved.

They took a considerable risk in deciding to take action this time.

However, compared to the profits that will be distributed soon, the risk is much smaller.

After all, judging from yesterday's battle, Bei Ming Tun Qiong and the other two combined are capable of fighting Long Daoji.

Without Long Daoji, the Wan Dao Sect was no match for the combined forces' encirclement and suppression.

......

"Zhang Gongfeng..."

"Wait!"

Deep within the Zhenwu Division, Zhang Tianyang stopped the visitors.

He then gently knocked on the door and asked, "Lord Beiming, Chen Qinghe and the others request your presence to discuss dealing with the Ten Thousand Blades Sect!"

Soon, Li Fan's hoarse voice came from inside the room.

"Tianyang, go and inform them to remain on high alert and postpone the war."

Also, have them prepare plenty of spiritual fruits so we can recover from our injuries quickly!

"Yes, sir!"

......

"Zhang Gongfeng, what did Lord Beiming say?"

As soon as Zhang Tianyang appeared, Chen Qinghe asked.

"Lord Beiming said that war will not be started for the time being."

Also, quickly prepare spiritual fruits and healing pills for the master to recover from his injuries.

The more the better!

Finally, Zhang Tianyang added, "Lord Chen, please refer to the Misty Sect of Yunzhou for detailed figures on each sect."

"Brother Zhang, isn't it a bit bad to not start a war?"

After all, we've gathered all our men, haven't we?

Seeing that Liu Sui and the other two hadn't spoken, Zhang Chunxiang became restless.

He's made such a big scene at Taihu Pavilion, he can't just leave without taking action, not to mention he's afraid that the people from Tiandu will run away once they've recovered from their injuries.

Not only would he lose some spiritual fruits, but he would also have to face the purge from the Ten Thousand Blades Sect, which was unacceptable to him.

"Zhang Chunxiang, know your place!"

Whether it's good or bad isn't up to you to decide, but rather up to Lord Beiming!

Zhang Tianyang showed no respect whatsoever to Zhang Chunxiang's questioning.

A mere overlord of Jiangzhou, who hasn't even reached the tenth rank of Dharma Manifestation perfection, dares to speak? Who does he think he is?

"Can......"

"Brother Zhang, don't worry!"

Zhang Chunxiang looked displeased and wanted to continue arguing, but Liu Sui interrupted him, saying, "Zhang Gongfeng, please go back and report. We will act according to Lord Beiming's wishes!"

At this moment, Liu Sui had only one thought in his mind: stall for time!

It doesn't matter to Li Fan if he doesn't start a war; as long as they stay in Tianjiang City, they will have done nothing wrong.

As for the lost spiritual fruits, they are not a big deal at all. How many could three people possibly need?

"That's more like it!"

Zhang Tianyang walked away with his head held high and chest out.

"This is outrageous! This is going too far!"

He's just a lackey of Lord Beiming, how dare he be so arrogant!

"A mere early-stage tenth-grade Dharma Manifestation Realm cultivator? I could crush him with a flick of my wrist!"

After Zhang Tianyang left, Zhang Chunxiang could no longer suppress his anger.

He, the dignified sect leader of Taihu Pavilion, had never been insulted like this before.

Long Daoji is arrogant because he is strong enough.

What gives Zhang Tianyang the right to do this?

"Brother Zhang, calm down!"

Such a despicable person will not have a good end.

Liu Sui comforted her.

Hearing his words, Zhang Chunxiang's expression softened slightly. "Brother Liu's words are enough."

"Lord Liu, Lord He, Sect Leader Zhang, and Master Qin, don't relax yet! The share Zhang Tianyang mentioned is no small amount!"

After Chen Qinghe finished speaking, everyone looked at him at the same time.

After figuring out the number of spiritual fruits that the Misty Sect had brought out, Zhang Chunxiang and Qin Ruxian fell silent.

If they really try to reach that number, both companies can manage it, but whether they can actually reap that much profit is another matter!

"You two can go ahead and collect the money; you'll definitely be compensated afterwards!"

After Liu finished speaking, Zhang Chunxiang and Qin Ruxian nodded.

Just then, Zhang Tianyang returned.

"Oh right, there's something I forgot to mention earlier. You need to prepare four copies."

The Zhenwu Division and the governor should also be included!

“Master Zhang, you’re putting us in a difficult position!”

The governor's office and the Zhenwu Division can't provide that many resources!

Liu Sui said with a bitter face.

"I won't concern myself with that; my only responsibility is to relay Lord Beiming's orders!"

Without waiting for their reply, Zhang Tianyang turned and left.

The reason for returning was not to deliberately annoy the people.

Zhang Tianyang knew that the only way to achieve great success was to cling to Bei Ming Tun Qiong.

The more spiritual fruits offered by various forces, the more it demonstrates Zhang Tianyang's abilities.

If things continue like this, why worry about their position being unstable?

......

"Pavilion Master Zhang, Pavilion Master Qin..."

"Lord Liu, you know how much wealth we have. Providing the share that Zhang Tianyang mentioned is already quite an achievement."

This time, Zhang Chunxiang immediately ended the conversation before Liu Sui could finish speaking.

Taihu Pavilion has some historical significance, but he didn't want to be taken advantage of.

Whether these extracted spiritual fruits can ultimately be recovered is truly unknown.

After all, once the Ten Thousand Blades Sect is destroyed, if Liu and Sui are promoted when it comes time to reward their merits, the next governor and the commander of the Zhenwu Division will basically not acknowledge it.

"My lords, you'll have to figure out the share for the governor's office and the Zhenwu Division yourselves. There's nothing I can do about it!"

Qin Ruxian followed suit and expressed her opinion.

After the two left, only Liu Sui and the other two remained in the room.

After a moment of contemplation, Liu Sui said, "Brother He, if there's really no other way, let's go borrow some from that person first!"

"This is the only way!"

He Mu sighed.

In order not to alert the enemy, they had no choice.

After all, if they disagreed, Li Fan might lose his temper at any time.

When Li Fan loses his temper, people can really die!
