The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"This kid is really hard to like!"

The Yin-Yang True Lord of the Sun Moon Sect was now hidden among the crowd, his gaze toward Jia Daoshi extremely gloomy.

The Sun Moon Sect has suffered repeated defeats at the hands of this person. Now that this kid is so arrogant, if he weren't so unsure of the other party's strength and didn't have absolute confidence, he would have already made a move!

There were quite a few people present who shared the same thoughts as the Sun Moon Cult.

The heroes of the martial arts world and the imperial court were mortal enemies. If it weren't for the fact that the newly appointed head of the Imperial City Guard was unfathomable, a riot would have already broken out on the spot.

The people of the Shadow Gate of the Longwu Dynasty were already getting restless.

"That's interesting. I'd like to test its length!"

Dressed in all black, Ling Xiaoyue licked her lips with her nimble tongue.

Because the rain was so heavy, a lot of it got on her body. Her black clothes were soaking wet and clung to Ling Xiaoyue's devilish figure, creating a seductive wet look.

"Don't rush, if we really want to make a move, we still have to wait in line. Didn't you see those people over there?" Nie Tianguan, standing next to Ling Xiaoyue, gestured in another direction.

Not far away, there were also several slender women standing.

Unlike Ling Xiaoyue, these women wore dresses of different colors and carried oil-paper umbrellas, making them stand out in the crowd.

"I never expected that the Hehuan Sect would come too! I've heard that this new commander of the Imperial City Guard is extremely fond of women and has a large number of wives and concubines at home. If the Hehuan Sect wants to make a move against him, they will have a great advantage!" Kong Lianshun, who was standing next to Nie Tianguan, frowned.

“These women are not to be trifled with. Let’s wait and see.” Nie Tianguan nodded.

The women of the Hehuan Sect, though extremely beautiful and alluring, are also extremely dangerous!

At this moment, none of the martial arts figures present made a move.

Because any slight movement could cause the situation to immediately spiral out of control!

The treasure that everyone wanted to snatch was still in Shen Li's hands, and Jia Daoshi's behavior was unusually assertive, so no one was willing to be the first to make a move!

The situation remained deadlocked; neither side was willing to make a move, nor were they willing to simply retreat.

They were surrounded on all sides, both above and below, and Jia Daoshi and his two companions were unable to escape for the time being.

Therefore, the two sides could only begin their standoff in the rain.

With Jia Daoshi standing alone in front, there was an inexplicable feeling of a man facing a thousand troops with his own iron will.

However, we can't just stand there getting soaked in the rain.

If they stay in the rain for too long, won't the old folks' rheumatoid arthritis flare up again?

So, soon a tall and thin figure walked out of the crowd.

Everyone turned to look.

The flickering firelight illuminated the man's face, and soon someone recognized him!

"Ximen Qing, the scholar Ximen?"

This Ximen Qing was originally a scholar, but he failed the imperial examinations repeatedly, so he abandoned his literary pursuits and turned to martial arts, unexpectedly making a name for himself in the martial arts world.

Moreover, he had a good reputation, known as the chivalrous Ximen Qing, and many江湖客 (jianghu people) would give him face.

But no one knew that this guy was a beast in human form. After becoming famous, he not only seduced his neighbor's wife, but also poisoned his neighbor to death. He had an affair with the young woman every night, and even secretly killed her younger brother when he came to seek revenge.

“Jia Tisi, I am a few years older than you. In this situation, why don’t you listen to my opinion?”

After Ximen Qing stepped out of the crowd, he clasped his hands in a respectful greeting to Jia Daoshi, a kind smile on his face.

Jia Daoshi glanced at him.

The middle-aged man in front of him looked like a gentleman, but the occasional glint of cunning in his eyes did not escape his notice.

Another hypocrite!

He hated hypocrites the most, couldn't be bothered with them, and eventually simply ignored them altogether.

Seeing Jia Daoshi's silence, Ximen Qing assumed that the other party genuinely wanted to hear his opinion, so he smiled faintly and calmly said, "Chief Jia, in fact, there is absolutely no need for the Imperial City Guard and the various sects of our Jianghu to have gone this far. Everyone just wants the Three Yuan Taiyi Pill and the key to the Martial God Hall."

"As far as I know, the imperial treasury contains the Three Yuan Taiyi Pill, and the key to the Martial God Hall can only be opened by combining all three. So... what are we fighting to the death here for?"

"With Jia Tisi's talent and cultivation, it won't be long before he becomes the leader of the martial arts world. If he were to fight with the heroes of the world to the death for the sake of a moment of pride, it would be a great loss!"

"Why don't you hand over the things to us, and you can leave safely with your two beauties? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

“Mr. Simon is right!” Yan Tianlong said loudly, “Jia Tisi, what Mr. Simon said is your only way out now. As long as you are willing to hand over the items, I, Yan Tianlong, will not make things difficult for you!”

If you can use your persuasive skills to get the other party to hand over their treasure, that would be ideal.

Although Yan Tianlong was not afraid of fighting, he would avoid fighting if possible at this moment.

Although he was domineering, he was not a mindless brute.

Seeing the two of them singing in unison, many people in the martial arts world who knew the truth showed disdain on their faces.

Given Yan Tianlong's temperament, once he gets the item, he will only kill people to silence them.

As for Ximen Qing, he only relied on his silver tongue to deceive people.

But this is not the time to expose them.

Because no one is absolutely certain of dealing with Jia Daoshi!

Who would want to die if they came here?

"Jia Daoshi, what do you think?"

Ximen Qing and Yan Tianlong, on the other hand, looked completely at ease, urging Jia Daoshi to make a choice quickly.

Jia Daoshi slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on Ximen Qing.

"Did you make a move just now?"

Ximen Qing was taken aback.

What does Jia Daoshi mean by this?

What made a move?

He didn't ask Yan Tianlong because Yan Tianlong had already made his move.

As for Ximen Qing, he didn't make a move openly, but instead hid in the crowd and secretly shot at Meng Geluo. If it weren't for Meng Geluo's formidable strength, he probably would have succeeded.

Even so, Menggeluo was affected, and her rhythm and pace were disrupted several times.

"Jatis, I didn't make a move just now!"

"I just wanted to help Justus resolve this peacefully."

"Jatis, are you still not satisfied with this method and want to insist on doing things your own way?"

Ximen Qing's smile slowly faded, and he finally sighed helplessly, "I say, Jia Tisi, why are you doing this?"

"Since you don't appreciate it, don't blame me for turning ruthless."

"Regardless of the circumstances, we stand on different sides. My actions just now, which were entirely on Tess's behalf, can be considered as doing my utmost..."

Ximen Qing's words were even more eloquent than his singing.

But some people who know him think he's disgusting.

"Have you finished speaking?"

Jia Daoshi looked at Ximen Qing with a playful expression, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
