Chapter 63: Not Giving Up an Inch

Li Liangyu's face darkened. "Master Jiang, do you mean you don't plan to go with us?"

Jiang Jinzhou sneered, "We didn't kill him, why should we go with you?"

Li Liangyu drew his sword and looked at him coldly, "The emperor has ordered that anyone who resists must be killed without mercy."

Jiang Jinzhou: "Why, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"You said the emperor issued an order, but where is the imperial edict? Do you have it in your hand?"

It’s not that he looks down on Li Liangyu. With a person like him, he can kill him without his sister having to do anything.

"If this is the case with Mr. Jiang, don't blame me..."

"Lord Li, wait a minute." Just as the two men were drawing their swords, Lan Ying arrived in time.

"I am Lan Ying from Qinglong Mountain of the Wulin League. What is Lord Li going to do?"

"The Wulin Alliance had an agreement with the court. Any case involving the court and the martial arts world must be tried jointly by our Wulin Alliance and the Supervisory Department. Lord Li wants to take our Wulin Alliance away without saying anything. Isn't this a bit too much of a disregard for our Wulin Alliance?"

Li Liangyu snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing across his face, "It is precisely because of you, a group of so-called Jianghu people, that the court and the Jianghu are in turmoil in Dayong."

"Prince Kang, Prince Lu, Prince Shun, Prince Cheng, and Prince Shou died suddenly overnight. Even the princes and grandchildren were not spared, but Prince Yu's Mansion slipped through the net. Doesn't this prove that Cangwu Palace colluded with Prince Yu's Mansion and participated in the struggle for the throne?"

Li Liangyu pressed on: "The facts are before our eyes, what else do you have to say? Is it because Cangwu Palace is one of the six major sects, so you want to protect them?"

Li Liangyu sneered: "Oh, I remember, half a month ago, this Lady Lin defeated the great evil leader Yang Juntian of the Xuanyin Sect, so the Wulin Alliance doesn't dare to do that anymore?"

Li Liangyu pressed on, "Also, some time ago, a Taishan Sect disciple died suddenly overnight in Yanyun Sect. Until now, Yanyun Sect has not given Taishan Sect an explanation, and even replaced the Taishan Sect leader. Could it be that because Yan Yunchu is the leader of the Wulin Alliance, the matter is left unresolved?"

Li Liangyu sneered, with a mocking look on his face, "It is your own business if you, the Wulin League, are willing to cover up, but now this matter involves our court, and even involves several royal bloodlines. We are deeply favored by the emperor, and we should serve His Majesty and bring the real culprit behind the scenes to justice."

"Master Lan is trying to stop me. Could it be that your Wulin Alliance is planning a rebellion?"

Lan Ying's face darkened, and he spoke coldly, "Master Li, please be careful with your words. The Wulin Alliance has already investigated the murder of Taishan Sect disciples. Master Li, please stop talking nonsense."

Li Liangyu sneered disdainfully: "Whether it is nonsense or not, it is naturally up to you Wulin League to decide. After all, it is your Wulin League's business."

Li Liangyu drew his sword and said, "But now, this is the capital, the territory of our Supervisory Department. No one can bend the law for personal gain."

Lan Ying: "Master Li, they are from our Wulin Alliance. We will investigate on our own. We won't bother you anymore."

Li Liangyu glanced at Lan Ying and shouted, "Come here, take them back to the Supervisory Office for interrogation. Anyone who disobeys my order will be killed without mercy."

Lan Ying: ...

Zhou Minghua: “Yes.”

Lan Ying's expression changed, and he stood up directly, "Let's see who dares."

Li Liangyu narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression darkened, "Master Lan, are you sure you want to do this?"

Lan Ying's gaze was like a sharp arrow, piercing directly into the other person's heart. "Master Li, these two are from my Wulin Alliance. Even if they need to be interrogated, it should be done by our Wulin Alliance. There is no need for your Supervision Department to intervene."

Li Liangyu laughed angrily, "Someone from the Wulin Alliance?"

"Lan Ying, Master Lan, these two people are related to the murder of the Five Kings. This is no longer a matter for you martial arts masters, but a matter for the imperial court. Even if your Wulin League is powerful, it is still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Don't go too far."

Lan Ying's face was livid, and he refused to give in. "Lord Li, are you doing this for the court or for the master behind you? You know it clearly in your heart. Crown Prince Xuande, do I need to explain it more clearly?"

Li Liangyu's heart sank and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. This man deserved to be killed.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I must take him away today. I will see who dares to stop me. Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy and will be charged with treason."

Lan Ying didn't even look at Li Liangyu, but looked directly at Zhang Ying, the commander of the Imperial Guards. "Sir Zhang, our Wulin Alliance has already found out who is behind this. I wonder if Sir Zhang can bring me to see the Emperor."

Zhang Ying hesitated, and Lan Ying continued, three months ago, Yang Yunxi, the youngest daughter of the Yang family, was murdered in Yanyun Gate. According to the investigation results, Yang Yunxi died from Chan Mengxiang, and as everyone knows, Chan Mengxiang is only owned by the royal family of Dayong. The person behind the scenes wants to stir up disputes between the court and the world of martial arts in order to reap the benefits. Lan has some evidence to present to Your Majesty, and I hope Lord Zhang will agree. ”

Zhang Ying's expression changed. "Are you telling the truth?"

If this was really a conspiracy by someone, then the killing of the five kings would be an even more serious matter.

Lan Ying nodded heavily, "Lan Ying is right. The person behind the scenes planned all this in order to overthrow the court and disrupt the peace of the martial arts world and the court."

Li Liangyu sneered, "Mr. Lan, don't exaggerate here. You just want to protect the people of your Wulin League, and you want to overthrow the court. Don't be ridiculous."

"The Great Yong Dynasty has lasted for more than two hundred years. Do you think you can overthrow the court with just a few words? Don't treat people as fools."

Lan Ying stared at him and said calmly, "Master Li, please don't worry about whether I am joking or not."

Zhang Ying thought about the order the emperor had given him, and after a moment's thought, he said to Li Liangyu, "Sir Li, there are indeed many doubts about the murder of the five princes. I need to report this to your majesty and ask your majesty to make the decision."

Li Liangyu looked at him unhappily, "Master Zhang, you and I are officials in the same court. You should know what kind of person Li is. Li will never wrongly accuse a good person, but he will not let a suspicious person go either."

"Your Majesty was deeply distressed by the murder of the Five Kings and almost fainted. We are deeply favored by the Emperor and should serve His Majesty instead of listening to the slander of villains and disturbing His Majesty."

Zhang Ying's face darkened, and he was obviously unhappy. "Sir Li, this matter is of great importance and cannot be handled casually."

The underworld is a huge force, and in the past decade or so it has even been competing with the imperial court.

The court is in chaos now. If this provokes resistance from the Wulin Alliance, it would be counterproductive.

There are many martial arts masters, and many strong men who can enter and leave the palace freely.

If they were angered, even if the imperial court had an army of hundreds of thousands, it would be of little use and the court must act with caution.

"Lord Li is probably afraid that His Majesty will know the background of the real culprit behind this, so he is trying to stop it." Lan Ying suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yingxia consciously looked towards Li Liangyu.

Although he concealed it well, Zhang Ying still noticed something was wrong.

Lord Li was indeed a little abnormal today. Why did he have to involve Jiang Jinzhou and Lin Yulu? Is there really some unspeakable secret?
