"What a bird joke! Their target is Leng Yurou. If we refuse to hand her over, why should the two dukes deliver messages on our behalf?"

"So we just give up like this? That’s the complete Peacock Secret Method, the Great Five Elements Yin-Yang Magnet Miejue Needle in five stages. With this, we can save at least eight million taels of patterned silver in tribute every year."

"Gentlemen, my master has a decree, if there is no countermeasure from the headquarters, our Northwest Baidao Hall has to withdraw from the Shenqi Union."

"It’s not that we’re unprincipled. We joined initially for better business. We can’t jeopardize thousands of people in Baidao Hall just for this matter."

"If you ask me, I’d say we should fight Earl Chengyi’s mansion!"

"Fight a fucking egg? They have so many Heavenly Level allies, what can we compete with? We must come up with a solution, or we cannot afford the salaries of the masters in our service."

Wei Shumeng looked at the Shenqi Union leader whose face was dark as he glanced at the absent-minded crowd, and he couldn’t help but exhale a deep breath.

He knew that at this point, the Shenqi Union must make a determination quickly. Otherwise, the entire Shenqi Union will fall apart within a few days and completely disband.

On the sixth day, which was the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Xuan, who was waiting in the half-ruined artifact palace at the top of Artifact Mountain, saw a group of men galloping in through the broken gate. The leader of the group was Dai Longli, the union leader of the Shenqi Union, and his deputy, Wei Shumeng.

"It seems like I can still return to the capital for the New Year."

Li Xuan sat on the chairman’s seat in the palace and said sarcastically: "I was wondering how long they would hold on!"

"They are not a sect, more like a commercial alliance. How much cohesion they could have, it’s already pretty good to have held on for seven days."

When Su Zhaojun said this, she was intently watching her younger uncle.

She knew that this time, Li Xuan’s attack on the Shenqi Union covered all aspects. The power used can be described as terrifying. It was completely like a hand covering the sky, pressing down with irresistible momentum.

This seemed to have affected Li Xuan’s Martial Law. In the past few days, Su Zhaojun felt that the ’Shi’ on Li Xuan was getting heavier and more domineering.

He is now neither a civilian official nor a military officer, but his influence and power are greater than those of the Court’s Zongbing.

All these have turned into Li Xuan’s ’Shi’ ––

Thinking of this, Su Zhaojun could not help sighing again, feeling that her younger brother had unknowingly grown into a towering tree.

"What’s your next move, young brother? Do they hand over the person and stop the war?"

"Ha!" Li Xuan chuckled: "I have mobilized so many manpower and resources, just for this little gain? Is it worth it to my friends? Let’s see their sincerity ––"

As they were talking, the group from the Shenqi Union, their faces pale, had already walked into the artifact palace.

The leader of the Shenqi Union, Dai Longli, looked at Li Xuan with a complicated expression, then kneeled halfway down and bowed: "Dai begs for forgiveness from Earl Jingan! I humbly ask for your mercy to forgive my ignorant offenses."

"Good one, being arrogant first then humble later," Li Xuan sarcastically said, then asked: "What about Yurou? Did you bring my maid?"

Dai Longli’s face nearly twisted, but it soon smoothed out, not revealing any abnormality.

Behind him, Wei Shumeng respectfully answered: "Your servant wasn’t captured by us. She and Xuanchenzi from Tianshi’s mansion have been trapped at the top of a peak in the Taihang Mountain Range. She has powerful hidden weapons by her side, and Xuanchenzi is unmatched in his agility. Our people can’t ascend, and they can’t descend either."

His face was a bit awkward: "Before we came here, we had already sent a message to your servant, but she didn’t believe it and shot down our messenger with the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle."

Li Xuan was taken aback and exchanged a glance with Su Zhaojun.

He thought that since Leng Yurou hadn’t been captured, why didn’t she seek help from Earl Chengyi’s mansion? However, Li Xuan soon realized that the Shenqi Union must have cut off the flying charm communication method.

Considering the multitude of hidden weapons in Leng Yurou’s hands and Xuanchenzi practicing "The Immaculate Scripture", the Shenqi Union may not be able to get them even if they hold their fort jointly.

"Even if what you said is true."

Li Xuan sneered: "You don’t think this matter will just end like this, do you? Have you thought about it, what kind of explanation are you going to give me?"

Dai Longli’s face was grim, his voice hoarse: "Is Earl Jingan really planning to fight us to the death?"

Li Xuan was secretly sneering, preparing to ridicule them verbally. But he heard Wei Shumeng say: "Earl Jingan, we can’t afford to pay more money, but this time there is a better solution to resolve our disputes."

Dai Longli was startled, puzzled and annoyed in his heart. How did Wei Shumeng make decisions without his consent?

But just at that moment, his heart felt a warning sign, and his back felt a chill. At this moment, at least twelve people exploded thousands of silver needles from their sleeves and blasted into Dai Longli’s back before he could defend.

Experiencing the same fate was the leader of the Artifact Building, Bai Zheli, who was hit by at least seven thousand silver needles at close range, making him riddled with holes.

"You guys––" Dai Longli’s eyes were about to split, he turned back in disbelief.

But what greeted him was the gleaming knife light in Wei Shumeng’s hand, which decisively beheaded Dai Longli.

"Colluding with Meng Wu and selling weapons privately was all done by Dai Longli and Bai Zheli of Shenji Building, we didn’t know."

Wei Shumeng kneeled down again and punched a fist: "We, the Shenqi Union, are willing to acknowledge the master of Peacock Manor, Leng Yurou, as the leader of the Shenqi Union."

He mentally praised his own cleverness, thinking there was no better solution than this.
