Chapter 486: Chapter 17 Chi Xiao Recognizes Its Master, Night Exploration of Qilin Hunting_3

This remark provoked laughter from everyone present.

The Sect Master of the Sky-reaching Sect smiled and said, "Lord Tong is a local hero, having established his military achievements, and in the future, he will surely be recorded in history, but he cannot compare to Taiping Duke Li Wanli or the Divine General Yue Pengwu."

Lord Tong then said,

"Then, gentlemen, who do you think is more loyal to the state, me or Li Wanli and Yue Pengwu?"

These grandees from the Martial World just burst into loud laughter.

Lord Tong was not angry and calmly said, "Gentlemen, look, even with the loyalty of Taiping Duke and Yue Pengwu, they were still suspected by the Emperor and killed; even their reputation and strategies were removed by the Emperor."

"And I, if we talk about loyalty, am not as good as them."

"The current Emperor, wouldn’t he be suspicious of me as well?"

"Such pillars of the state are killed upon saying so, and my learning is even further from theirs. Since the Emperor is suspicious of me, would he hesitate to kill me?"

The City Lord of Zhenbei City spoke with a solemn face, "My name has probably already appeared in the Emperor’s documents. It’s just that Xue Daoyong, that ferocious tiger, has tied up his attention and forced him to invest in matters concerning discord between the Emperor and his ministers."

"Once he frees up his hands, I will surely encounter a disaster."

"A man in this world should not be controlled by others. The Master said, ’Let the ruler be a ruler, the subject a subject, the father a father, the son a son.’

"If the ruler does not act like a ruler, then the subject need not act like a subject!"

"He is not my ruler, but just an ordinary man!"

All the grandees from the Martial World applauded with laughter, "Good!"

Lord Tong raised his drink in an easy and unhurried manner, chatting and discussing with these martial artists about numerous affairs of the Martial World. Another middle-aged man said with a smile, "My Divine Beast Manor has also acquired quite a few exotic beasts, already placed within City Lord Mansion. When Mr. Yuwen leaves, he can take them with him, to serve as a congratulatory gift for General Yu Wen."

"But where is Mr. Yuwen? Why don’t I see him?"

Nu Jianxian opened his eyes and said indifferently, "He’s probably gone to see that girl."

Everyone’s expressions changed slightly.

The Great Elder of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "The number one beauty under the heavens."

Li Guanyi confirmed the targets of these martial artists and also knew that Yuwen Hua was not here; he pondered, "Yuwen Hua is most likely off to kill Xue Zhaoji. We must hurry."

Shaking Light nodded.

After all, facing four Martial Arts Grandmasters of the Martial World, it was difficult for Shaking Light’s concealment to completely hide Li Guanyi as well. They couldn’t get too close, so they made a detour following the Qi Mechanism of Yuwen Hua, and soon Li Guanyi found Yuwen Hua’s location.

He and Shaking Light were on the roof, and Li Guanyi found the perfect angle.

Drawing the Qiushui Sword, he opened a small gap in the roof and looked inside. Indeed, he saw Yuwen Hua. This 21-year-old standout from the Yuwen Family had an even more poised demeanor than a month ago.

Clad in a splendid blue tight-fitting attire with an extraordinary bearing, Li Guanyi could faintly perceive the fierce tiger Qi Mechanism around Yuwen Hua. It was no longer at the level where he had to display the Yuwen Family’s Absolute Skill to evoke the Divine Charm during the arena match.

Li Guanyi slightly raised his eyes: "He has broken through and is now at the Fourth Layer Heaven."

"No wonder General Yuwen entrusted this task to him."

Yuwen Hua was the first strong enemy Li Guanyi encountered.

On that day, they were evenly matched in strength and physique, but now that Yuwen Hua had broken through, he must have received further inheritance from the Yuwen Family, absolutely not to be underestimated. Li Guanyi noticed another middle-aged man behind Yuwen Hua, calm and dignified, with an intense Military School murderous aura.

Li Guanyi gave up his initial plan to snipe Yuwen Hua with the Breaking Cloud Sky-shattering Bow.

The man beside him was clearly a famous General from the Yuwen Family.

Today, Yuwen Hua did not look like he did during the great sacrifice in Chen Country, dressed in full armor. He was actually quite handsome, with the gallant appearance of a martial artist, holding a food box and walking over with a smile, "Miss Nangong, you haven’t eaten or drunk for three days. Even if you want to leave here, you need to eat something."

"Without strength, you won’t be able to get away."

A melodious voice said faintly, "General Yuwen has imprisoned me here and still speaks such fair words. Truly the offspring of a soldier, you’ve said all there is to say, good and bad. But, I dare not eat your food."

Yuwen Hua laughed heartily, "Miss, are you worried I poisoned it?"

"Hahaha, do I, Yuwen Hua, need to resort to such unrefined methods to get a woman I want? Your martial arts are not high; if I wanted to force you, could you win against me? I am unwilling to do so because I regard you as the person I admire in this life."

"Not an ordinary woman."

Miss Nangong seemed very calm, replying faintly, "Does that mean General Yuwen has forced himself on many ordinary women?"

Yuwen Hua just smiled lightly, "Matters of mutual consent.

"Miss, I have only one thing to say. Your beauty is unparalleled under the heavens, yet you lack the power to protect yourself. If today I don’t keep you safe, given the characters of several Martial Arts Grandmasters here, you would already have become their plaything. Whether you leave with me or not, Miss, consider it carefully."

The lady remained calm.

Yuwen Hua gave a cold laugh, put down the food and stood up, leaving with a sweep of his sleeves.

Outside the door, Yuwen Hua respectfully said, "Uncle, let’s go see those martial artists in the Martial World."

Yuwen Tianxian replied, "Good, in Lie’s plan, you also need to be on good terms with them."

Yuwen Hua said, "Yes, hmph, they are but martial artists from the Martial World after all. In uncle’s strategy, the Qilin, Li Guan, that city lord, these people from the Martial World, they are not the focus. The key lies in hollowing out Zhenbei City from the inside, using this Qilin Hunting Conference as a foundation."
