"Rules are rules. Although the Divine Palace is powerful, it only controls some of the forces in the four major regions. If they directly break the rules, they will have to face people who are far more terrifying than the enemies they have encountered before. Xia Juntian is definitely not a fool, so he would naturally not do such a thing."

Zhang Buxiu narrowed his eyes and spoke softly, this is also the reason why Shengfang City can stand at the core of the four major areas, all of this is due to the constraints of the rules!

It was like this before and it will be like this after.

Unless one party suddenly grows stronger or unites the four major regions, it will be able to compete with the rule makers.

Otherwise, no force would dare to break the rules easily, and Xia Juntian would not dare to do so either!

"Who are those people who make the rules? Are they really that scary?"

The man in the green robe slowly asked.

The only person who could have come into contact with those people was Xiang Lun. As for them and Xia Juntian and the others, they didn't even know them, let alone their backgrounds. They only knew that their strength was extremely terrifying, even beyond their imagination...

It is beyond human power to contend with!

"It's better if you don't know."

"The more you know, the less good it does you."

Zhang Buxiu spoke quietly, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's drink first. How can we miss such a beautiful view?"

…

Three days later.

Xiang Lun went to the League of Heroes alone, and arrived at the League of Heroes a few days later.

The guardians of the League of Heroes have all arrived at the hall, looking outside the door, their eyes locked on the person who came.

Long Yi sat high above the main seat, looking dignified and imposing.

After Xiang Lun walked into the hall, everyone looked away, but there was no awe in their eyes.

If it were an ordinary force, whenever Xiang Lun arrived at their sect, everyone would naturally have to bow down to him.

But now, in the League of Heroes, he doesn't receive the courtesy he deserves!

And Long Yi and others didn't seem to take him seriously, and still looked indifferent.

After all, although his reputation can scare other people, it is probably far from enough to scare Long Yi and others, even if Xia Juntian is present in person.

"Your Excellency must be the famous Long Yi, right?"

"I've heard that Long Yi, at such a young age, has already established the League of Heroes, and has many experts under his command."

"Now it seems that the reputation is well-deserved, and the facts are indeed so."

"It seems you have some real skills."

Xiang Lun looked at everyone present, and it was clear that he had a hidden meaning and was just mocking everyone.

After hearing what he said, everyone's faces turned ugly. This bastard is really hateful!

"That's because our leader is highly respected and we all follow him willingly. What does his age have to do with it?"

"When you were this age, you were probably not as good as our leader!"

"This isn't the Divine Palace. I advise you to keep a low profile, or else everyone will attack you and you won't end up in trouble!"

“…”

Everyone spoke indignantly, their words filled with hostility.

If others respect me one foot, I will naturally respect them ten feet.

But Xiang Lun clearly didn't take everyone seriously and even insulted them. How could they let him go so easily?

If they want to have a war of words, they will talk much more than Xiang Lun.

If they wanted to take action, they had more people and more power, and this was also the territory of the League of Heroes, so they would not be the ones who suffered. Xiang Lun was clearly asking for trouble!

Xiang Lun snorted coldly, ignoring everyone's words. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Long Yi and said calmly, "I came here for my young master. Now that you know my intentions, I don't need to say anything more. Just state a condition. What will it take for you to hand over my young master?"

"Your young master and a man named Zhu Xiongfei wanted to kill me. Wang Lei was also involved, but the latter two are now dead. I only spared Xia Yan's life for your master's sake."

Click.

Xiang Lun's teeth were almost broken, "You..."

If Xia Yan's life is worthless, then what is Xia Juntian's?

Long Yi was clearly insulting them on purpose!

"It seems you don't want to continue talking?"

Long Yi's expression turned cold, his brows furrowed, and his voice grew a bit colder. He said calmly, "Let me advise you. I know Xia Juntian is doing well, and I know his status in the four major regions, but this is definitely not a reason for him to bully me. Besides, I didn't kill Xia Yan, which is enough to give him face."

"I originally planned to have him come and take Xia Yan away personally, but since he doesn't have the courage, then I don't need to follow my previous approach. Since the person negotiating is different, the conditions I offer will also be different."

"If you want to take Xia Yan away, you only need to pay 10 million taels of gold!"

The League of Heroes has just been established and money is needed everywhere. Although there is still some foundation between the major families and sects in Lingdong, who cares about having too much money?

"Ten million taels of gold?"

"You really are asking for too much!"

Xiang Lun responded coldly.

Such a large amount of gold is enough to support the operation of the Temple for more than two years. Long Yi actually offered such a condition, which was clearly intended to make things difficult for him!

"Do you think your young master is not worth ten million taels of gold?"

"In that case, I'll just kill him."

"He's no longer of any use to us anyway. Keeping him here is just a waste of food."

"Besides, he almost killed me, but he was just out-skilled and I was about to kill him in return. So there's no need for me to waste my time."

Long Yi waved his hand impatiently and prepared to leave. Several guards standing on the side came forward at the same time and surrounded Xiang Lun, obviously ordering him to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing that Long Yi was not joking, Xiang Lun also began to hesitate.

Ten million taels of gold are important, but not as important as Xia Yan's life!

Xia Yan is the future successor of the Divine Palace, and there must not be any mistakes!

Besides, if he couldn't bring Xia Yan back, he would have no way to report to Xia Juntian!
