"Elder Jiu."

Under everyone’s gaze, Si Huang’er slightly bowed to Hu Yiqiu. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Damn! The little princess salutes Elder Jiu?"

"Looks like Elder Jiu might be close with Princess Chang..."

"Shut up, do you want to die?"

Everyone around felt a fierce shock in their hearts. People from the five major forces, including the Spirit Sword Sect, frowned, their gazes turning serious. If Hu Yiqiu’s relationship with Princess Chang really became intimate, then Jiang Chen would be difficult to deal with.

But they only felt slightly more apprehensive. They had legitimate reasons, and even Princess Chang couldn’t use her power to oppress them over this matter.

Hu Yiqiu was also stunned for a moment, glancing around at everyone, suddenly understanding, and softly said: "Thank you for your consideration."

"Elder Jiu, Jiang Chen has made a contribution in capturing a division of the Nether Kui Snake’s Primordial Spirit. Although he passed the credit to someone else, the fact is the fact. If he is willing, he can join the Canglan Army!"

Si Huang’er softly invited.

The expressions of the people from the five major forces changed completely this time. If Jiang Chen joined the Canglan Army, then they really couldn’t trouble Jiang Chen anymore.

To trouble someone from the Canglan Army is to make an enemy of the entire Canglan Army, which represents the mighty being ruling over the entire Canglan Continent. They didn’t have the guts to provoke that existence.

"Girl, I understand your intention, but young Jiang probably won’t join the Canglan Army."

Hu Yiqiu gently shook his head.

"I understand too, it’s just... I hope he can get through this!"

Si Huang’er sighed and said apologetically, "Elder Jiu, I’m sorry, for some reasons, I cannot lend a hand to help, please understand."

"It’s fine. That kid has his own means. He holds two Life-Saving Jade Tokens given to him by two old guys. If those people bully him too much, that kid will bring those two old guys here, hehe, that’ll be interesting."

Hu Yiqiu spoke in a low voice, a sly smile appearing on his face.

Si Huang’er was taken aback, giving Hu Yiqiu a surprised look, and felt a sense of relief. She knew Hu Yiqiu cared a lot about Jiang Chen, and since Hu Yiqiu was not worried, there was definitely a way to resolve things here.

"Meng Changde, if you want to list young Jiang on the academy’s bounty list, do as you like. This old man wants to see whether young Jiang dies first, or you and Meng Youyuan do!"

Hu Yiqiu turned his head and coldly glanced at Meng Changde.

Meng Changde seemed to realize something, his face changed, and he glared at Hu Yiqiu hatefully but didn’t say anything tough.

"By the way, when will that kid come out?"

Hu Yiqiu looked up at Si Huang’er.

Everyone turned their gaze to Si Huang’er upon hearing this.

"I’m not sure, he seems to have encountered a problem in his cultivation and needs to sort out the problem inside before coming out."

Si Huang’er spoke softly.

"Encountered a problem in cultivation?"

Hu Yiqiu was surprised, a look of guilt suddenly appeared on his face: "I have been an unworthy master!"

Si Huang’er fell silent. She was basically aware of Jiang Chen’s experiences since coming to the Void Nether Realm. Truth be told, Hu Yiqiu indeed had not been a very competent master!

Buzz!

Suddenly, a chilling intent of killing rose from Hu Yiqiu, drawing everyone’s surprised attention to him.

Swoosh!

Hu Yiqiu leaped up, flying straight out the window, then a roar resounded throughout Forsaken Town: "Trash from the five clans of Qingyang Prefecture, come out for this old man! If you want to kill my disciple, come to me first to die!"

Everyone in the tavern was shocked, turning simultaneously to Liu Yuanshan and others, their eyes filled with a look of watching the spectacle. Is this a case of the master clearing the hidden dangers before the disciple even comes out?

Everyone in Forsaken Town heard the shout, turning their gaze to Forsaken Tavern, and some brave ones leaped around, watching intently.

In a room on the top floor of the tavern, Jin Ming and Jin Tianlin glanced out the window. Jin Ming said faintly: "Mr. Jiang’s master has some spirit."

"However, even if he can block the people from Qingyang Prefecture, the people from the five major forces are probably not something we can handle with just the manpower we have here. Should we send a message to the clan and ask for a Supreme Elder to come and sit here?"

Jin Tianlin said softly.

"No need, don’t forget Yun Cheng is also here. With me, the third elder, and Yun Cheng, we can hold off these five Semi-Saints and the hidden Saint, it’s enough!"

Jin Ming shook his head gently.

On the third floor.

Liu Yuanshan and others’ faces changed dramatically, their brows furrowed tightly.

Liu Yuanshan turned to look at Si Huang’er, signaling to the head of the Meng Family, Meng Wanlin, one of the four great families.

Meng Wanlin understood, stood up, and cupped his fists toward Hu Yiqiu, who was floating outside, saying loudly: "Elder Jiu, this is a grudge between us and Jiang Chen. Please don’t involve Changling Academy, this might cause people to say Changling Academy is using its power to oppress others!"

"When did this old man ever bring up the academy?"

Hu Yiqiu’s angry voice came again: "I’m not an elder of Changling Academy now, just Jiang Chen’s master. Don’t try to constrain me with the academy; I have no such scruples. Now I am confronting you purely as an individual, as Jiang Chen’s master. Come on, if you want to deal with Jiang Chen, defeat me first!"

"Elder Jiu, Jiang Chen killed my only son. Are you provoking the main house of Qingyang Prefecture?"

Liu Yuanshan’s face sank, bringing up the name of the main house.

"The grievances between Jiang Chen and everyone from Qingyang Prefecture are purely personal resource disputes and have nothing to do with the main house. If you want to solve it, do it with personal identities, don’t involve others!"

Si Huang’er suddenly spoke up.

Everyone’s faces changed drastically. Si Huang’er was representing Canglan City here, saying so meant Liu Yuanshan couldn’t use the main house to pressure Hu Yiqiu anymore.

Liu Yuanshan’s face turned ugly as well, but he dared not be displeased with Si Huang’er.

"Haha... did you hear that? Hurry and get out here! Otherwise, don’t blame this old man for taking a trip to Qingyang Prefecture. Since you shamelessly want to bully the smaller, killing my disciple, then I won’t have any psychological burden on killing your relatives and descendants!"

Hu Yiqiu laughed loudly.

Liu Yuanshan and others’ faces all changed. Given Hu Yiqiu’s status, even if he killed their descendants with a personal identity, they probably couldn’t do anything about him. Moreover, they were the ones who intended to bully the smaller first, giving Hu Yiqiu the moral high ground, and the world wouldn’t view him as brutal.

"Since Elder Jiu wants to test our skills, we can’t let Elder Jiu lose face. Chen Family Head, go have a spar with Elder Jiu!"

Liu Yuanshan’s face was gloomy as he spoke in a deep voice.
