Bu Yancheng crossed his arms across his chest, chin slightly raised, “Let’s talk about compensation again, 150,000 taels of Demon Silver a month is not enough for me, I want 200,000 taels of Demon Silver per month!

Furthermore, if you wish to extend our agreement after the two-month deadline, you’ll have to pay more.”

“200,000 taels?”

Ji Qianqian let out a mocking laugh, “That’s the asking price for Long the Leader of the Huwei Escort Agency in the Capital City to dispatch a golden dart job.”

She paused slightly mid-sentence.

That comment didn’t fit her current identity.

How could she, a woman of humble rural origins, possibly know such a thing about the Capital City?

However, neither Chu Xisheng nor Liang Chen from Lu Pingyuan paid her any heed.

The only one who glanced at Ji Qianqian from a corner was Chu Yunyun,

In fact, during the large battle the previous afternoon, Chu Yunyun had intended to take advantage of the dense fog to punch Ji Qianqian dead.

The woman’s cultivation of the “Thirteen Grand Protectors Golden Bell Training” might have deceived her initially, but over time, she inevitably gave herself away in front of Chu Yunyun.

Yet, in the fog yesterday, this woman had helped West Mountain Hall eliminate several experts with great vigor.

Therefore, Chu Yunyun decided to wait and see.

She wanted to know what exactly the Grand Protector from Police Pool of Blood, lying in wait beside Chu Xisheng, was really up to?

From this woman’s behavior, it didn’t seem like she was investigating the two men.

Unaware of the thoughts of those in the room, Bu Yancheng chuckled casually, “Of course, I’m worth that price!

If you feel that Long the Leader gives you better value for money, feel free to hire him.

To speak frankly, today in East State, there really aren’t many who can both hold the scene for your Iron Banner Gang and are not afraid of the government.

You won’t find more than five, and I am one of them.

In the East State, I don’t take anyone below Fourth Grade cultivation seriously.

For those above Fourth Grade, given enough crossbows for support, I can help you push them back.

You paying me 200,000 taels of Demon Silver a month is actually a bargain for you!”

He looked interestedly at Chu Xisheng, “If it weren’t for hearing that you had broken up several private mines in Xiushui County and rescued thousands of miners, even for all the money you offered, I wouldn’t have taken this job.”

Chu Xisheng’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing this.

West Mountain Hall had indeed smashed several private mines because those miners were an excellent source of soldiers, enabling Iron Banner Gang to add tens of thousands of manpower, thus growing more formidable.

Chu Xisheng had even planned to use several large mines as the foundation to establish three new Outer Hall bases and assign Hall Masters to Zhoou Liangchen, Li Shenshan, and Wei Yang.

In Daning, the many private mines didn’t have any official government documentation or security; whoever was most powerful could take control.

The output from these private mines was sufficient to support more than three thousand of their elite gang members.

Chu Xisheng had even considered the idea of taking over several official government mines.

But after careful consideration, he gave up on the idea; the slave laborers in those three large government mines were brawny criminals with a mix of good and bad among them, and many were outright villains.

Even if conquered, they would be impossible to manage and could even cause trouble.

Chu Xisheng didn’t expect that smashing those mines would lead Bu Yancheng to him.

“200,000 taels of Demon Silver is still too expensive.”

Chu Xisheng shook his head, about to negotiate the price when he suddenly felt a sense of imminent danger.

Ji Qianqian sensed the danger before him.

She took down the longbow from her back and, in an instant, shot seven arrows through the window, each one with forceful momentum.

Chu Xisheng then turned back to look out the window and saw several blood-colored figures coming towards him from twenty zhang away.

Among them, Chu Xisheng recognized one very well.

It was the Blood Wind Sword, Li Daogui!

The man was dressed in Blood Clothes, with a cold and merciless gaze locked on Chu Xisheng.

Around his body swirled an extensive blood wind, creating a massive blood hurricane.

Chu Xisheng felt a chill, his hair standing on end.

“Mr.

Bu, 200,000 taels of Demon Silver a month, I agree!”

One had to say, his luck wasn’t too bad!

“Deal!”

Bu Yancheng laughed heartily, took off in a leap, smashed through the wooden wall of the large cabin, and appeared above the water outside the boat.

“Relax!

With me here, no one in East State can harm you.

This deal, you’ve made a fortune!”

As Bu Yancheng’s voice echoed, the huge Sword Box on his back clanked open, releasing a total of eight Eight-sided Han Swords.

Bu Yancheng held a sword in each hand, while the other six floated in the void as if six invisible hands were holding the Six-sided Han Swords.

Chu Xisheng knew this was the dharma gate of “Controlling Sword with Qi.”

Bu Yancheng’s Control Sword with Qi was exceptionally strong.

He used True Yuan to simulate human hands, which in flexibility and strength were no less than his own arms.

The next instant, a tremendous roar erupted from the river’s surface, raising mighty waves!

Bu Yancheng clashed with Li Daogui, and instantly, the external walls of the cabin under Chu Xisheng’s feet were torn apart by the force of their Gang Qi.

“Get lost!”

Bu Yancheng slashed with eight swords, issuing eight sword auras simultaneously.

Behind him, an image of a giant eight-armed ape with the might of a Demon God appeared.

As the sword auras cut through the air, they forcibly tore apart the blood hurricane that Li Daogui had brought with him.

Li Daogui was forced to retreat by five zhang.

Bu Yancheng smiled triumphantly as the sword aura continued to slash, holding off the other blood-colored figures.

“What about the Blood Wind Thieves?

Before me, dragons must coil, and tigers must crouch—”

Bu Yancheng’s speech came to an abrupt halt when several other blood-colored figures plunged into the cabin from the shore.

It was a group dispatched by Chu Xisheng to transport seized materials to the East City Pier.

Several of them suddenly turned hostile upon entering the pier, catching everyone off guard.

“Damn!”

Bu Yancheng wanted to go back to help, but the Blood Wind Sword Li Daogui was making another comeback.

He wrapped Bu Yancheng completely in a blood hurricane, and a Blood Sword cast forth thousands of shining points.

Inside the cabin, Chu Xisheng’s face was solemn.

He realized that those attacking him this time were not only the Blood Wind Thieves.

The ranks of the Blood Wind Thieves had been greatly diminished by Jian Cangfeng’s attacks.

But the attackers now included three of the Fifth Grade and as many as ten of Sixth Grade—far greater numbers than before!

Most notably, one towering figure burst into the cabin from the shore, wielding a massive Blood Cone—his formidable aura seemed to rival even that of the Blood Wind Sword Li Daogui!

Situation was heading south—
