"Everyone, I advise you to behave yourselves. The current imperial court is not the same as the one before. If you continue to act willfully, form cliques, cause trouble in the martial arts world, and hurt others through fighting and killing, you will be in serious trouble."

If you really attract the attention of the imperial court, they may very well take action against you. You should understand how powerful the imperial court is now.

You should also understand His Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty's determination to resolve certain matters, therefore I urge everyone present not to jeopardize yourselves."

These words displeased many martial arts practitioners present. They were used to roaming the martial world, doing whatever they pleased, seeking revenge and living a carefree life, never caring about the constraints of the imperial court or the law.

But now they're being told to behave themselves? How is that possible?

Therefore, an elder of the Tianshan Sword Sect said with a gloomy face:

"So what if it's the imperial court? So what if it's the grandson of the Ming emperor? This is the Jianghu, and the Jianghu has never been under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Even the grandson of the Ming emperor has no power to control us."

So stop your nonsense and get out of here. Otherwise, if you anger us, we'll kill all of you so-called constables. The court won't know, and even if they do, they'll still take you.

"We have no choice," the middle-aged constable said, his face turning ashen. He drew his long sword and said, "..."

“If you dare to fight openly here, we will definitely arrest you.”

Both the righteous and demonic sects laughed, and then the middle-aged Taoist priest from Wudang said:

"Ignore them, charge!"

After saying this, he led the Wudang disciples to charge towards the Demonic Sect. They knew that the Demonic Sect was incredibly wealthy, and by being at the forefront, they would naturally have a better chance of getting a larger share of the spoils.

Other sects were not to be outdone and rushed forward, fearing they would be left out when it came time to divide the spoils.

And so, those righteous people, ignoring the advice and threats of the constables present, stubbornly led their disciples and charged up to fight the people of the Demonic Sect.

The members of the Demonic Sect naturally couldn't tolerate this either. They had been attacked right at their doorstep. If the other side wasn't afraid of the government, what were they afraid of?

So the five leading elders of the demonic sect waved their hands, and thousands of demonic sect disciples rushed out behind them, wielding swords and fighting with the righteous people.

Among the righteous factions, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu did not make a move. Not only were they present, but there were also some righteous people who did not belong to any sect or faction, and the wandering knights of the martial arts world did not take action.

They really were just there to watch the show, so a total of 1,300-1,400 righteous people and some martial arts heroes were fighting.

The remaining two or three hundred people were watching the spectacle. Zhao Qingzhu analyzed the situation as the two sides began to fight, saying:

"Those five elders of the Demonic Sect are quite skilled and have high martial arts prowess. It's just a pity that this time, more than a dozen sects have sent their most powerful elders. These elders and sect leaders are all quite strong, and they have the advantage in numbers. Since they have taken the initiative to cause trouble, they must have the advantage."

Zhu Yunwen said, "It's already quite good that the Demonic Sect was able to resist. After all, more than ten sects joined forces. Although each sect only sent a small number of disciples, the combined force was still not to be underestimated. It's only because the Demonic Sect is powerful that we really couldn't handle it."

Zhao Qingzhu also said:

"That's right, but no matter how powerful the Demonic Sect is, it is ultimately outnumbered and will definitely suffer a great loss over time."

At this moment, the constables were very anxious and wanted to go up and mediate the fight, but they were easily forced back by the masters from both the righteous and evil factions.

Although they were all quite restrained and dared not harm these government officials, they didn't take them seriously. Seeing the twenty constables looking dejected, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but smile. Then he slowly stepped forward and said to the elderly head constable:

"This situation is beyond your control and interference. If they want to attack and you can't defend against it, then let them attack."

The elderly constable sighed and said to Chen Xiao:

"Our Six Doors has an obligation and responsibility to manage certain matters in the martial arts world. Now that they have launched such a large-scale battle, it will inevitably cause considerable casualties."

Even if it doesn't harm ordinary people, it's still a very serious matter. If news of it reaches the imperial court, wouldn't it make us constables look bad for not doing our job properly?

Zhu Yunwen said:

"You can't be blamed for this. There are only twenty of you. How can you stop them? Instead of doing this, you might as well let them go. The court probably won't let them get away with it."

The constable sighed and said:

"There's nothing we can do about it now, we can only watch."

Zhu Yunwen admired the old constable's courage. Twenty men came to stop a fight involving thousands of people. Who would dare to do that if they didn't have some courage?

The constable said somewhat anxiously:

"Look at how they've fought to the death, what's the point?"

Zhu Yunwen smiled:

"Let them fight. It's better if they both suffer heavy losses. Just watch and see."
