Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Tang Feng saw the inquisitive gaze of Chang Xuzi, his face clouded over. However, seeing Chen Jie’s increasingly grim expression, he thought, ”This boy can’t live; my Tang Sect’s millennium-old reputation cannot be destroyed in his hands!”

Thinking this, Tang Feng cast a glance at Zuo Buqun of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance, who slightly frowned. He had heard of the name Chen Jiusi before, knowing that at the Treasure Book Glory Conference, he used one of the Huaxia Three Divine Skills, the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, to defeat Zhu Chongba, who wielded another of the Huaxia Three Divine Skills, the Xuanyuan Technique, thus obtaining Wu Mu’s Legacy.

He had not expected to meet him today in such a circumstance.

With this thought, Zuo Buqun looked at the Shaolin Sect Leader, Master Kong Wen.

Master Kong Wen was also surprised by Chen Jie’s sudden appearance. He had learned of Chen Jiusi from the Treasure Book Glory Conference, and perhaps knew even more than Zuo Buqun, as his martial uncle Kudu was present at the scene back then.

Moreover, he also brought along a junior apprentice who was Zhu Chongba, who had been narrowly defeated at that event.

Now, seeing Chen Jiusi here, he too felt profoundly astonished.

Thus, everyone, with their own peculiar mindset, watched as Chen Jie arrived at the center of the assembly.

Chen Jie walked into the center of the assembly, clasped his hands in salute, and said, ”Chen Jiusi from Mianshui greets the Jianghu seniors.”

Chen Jie’s attitude was very humble, and even when facing his enemy Chang Xuzi, he greeted the Tang Sect people with a smile. This is the Jianghu etiquette, where even if one cannot wait to kill the other, a smile must be maintained before making a move.

At this moment, everyone scrutinized Chen Jiusi up and down.

The first to speak was not Chang Xuzi, whose business had been interrupted, but the forthright Master Jue Mie.

Seeing Chen Jie, Master Jue Mie said, ”Young Hero Chen, why do you mingle with the demon people of the Zoroastrian Sect?”

Master Jue Mie remained polite; although she had a fierce disposition, it showed that she had a clear sense of right and wrong. Since Chen Jie had saved her life, she couldn’t be too rude to him.

Therefore, she still addressed him as a young hero!

Upon hearing this, the rest of the people also looked at Chen Jie, waiting to hear his explanation.

At this moment, Chen Jie began to speak, ”I guess everyone is curious about the reason, right? In that case, let me explain. I managed to reach Bright Peak thanks to Master Tang Feng of the Tang Sect.”

As soon as he said this, everyone turned to look at Tang Feng.

Tang Feng frowned but said nothing more. Chen Jie continued, ”Master Jue Mie, you have been to Wushan, and you should know about my enmity with the King Qi Residence and the Kunlun Sect.”

Master Jue Mie replied, ”I know, they are eager to kill you!”

Chen Jie said, ”Exactly, the King Qi Residence hates me to the bone. As a vassal of the King Qi Residence, the Kunlun Sect naturally must exert themselves for their master, so they helped the King Qi Residence hunt me down. Unfortunately, my whereabouts in Lantian County, Shanxi Road, were discovered by the Kunlun Sect, and then Kunlun Chang Xuzi teamed up with Tang Sect’s Master Tang Feng to plot against me. Moreover, Master Tang Feng used the Tang Sect’s Three Absolute Skills to inflict the Blood Devouring Poison on me.”

”Blood Devouring Poison!”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the crowd gasped, as who in the Jianghu did not know the terrifying nature of the Tang Sect’s Three Devourings? People poisoned with Blood Devouring Poison have, for nearly a thousand years, rarely been cured.

No one expected Chen Jiusi to be able to escape from certain death.

As everyone pondered, Master Jue Mie asked, ”Does this have to do with your entanglements with the Zoroastrian Sect demon people?”

Chen Jie nodded and said, ”Indeed, the Blood Devouring Poison was truly perilous. At that time, I was at death’s door, collapsing by the river, fortunately saved by a Miss Liu from the Zoroastrian Sect.”

Chen Jie pointed to Liu Caidie and said, ”It was her; she is the granddaughter of Yushan Monk Liu Futong.”

”She was the one who helped me escape the pursuits of the King Qi Residence and the Kunlun Sect all the way to this Bright Peak, seeking Yushan Monk’s help to treat me, allowing me to escape from death’s clutches today.”

Chen Jie briefly recounted the events, and everyone was moved, thinking that Chen Jiusi’s fate was not to end, as he managed to survive against all odds.

After explaining his relationship with the Zoroastrian Sect, everyone looked inquisitively at Chang Xuzi, and Song Yuanqiao from Wudang asked, ”Chang Xuzi, is there any falsehood in Brother Chen’s words?”

Chang Xuzi knew that this matter could not be falsified. After all, when Chen Jie was captured, over ten thousand people were involved, and if the Six Great Sects wanted to know the truth, a simple investigation would suffice.

Now lying would only make it seem like he had a guilty conscience.

Chang Xuzi said, ”That’s right, Chen Jiusi is an imperial fugitive on a court-issued warrant. I joined hands with the Tang Sect to capture him; there is nothing wrong with serving the country.”

Upon hearing this, Master Jue Mie of the Emei Sect glanced at Chang Xuzi unfavorably; she hadn’t forgotten that in Wushen Valley, Chang Xuzi had tried to kill her in alliance with the Zoroastrian Sect. That she could talk calmly with them now was purely due to suppressing her true nature; otherwise, left to her own devices, she would have already stabbed Chang Xuzi through eight or ten times.

Seeing Master Jue Mie’s gaze, Chang Xuzi cleared his throat and said, ”Alright, let’s not forget the purpose of our visit today. Let’s first complete the court’s task; the other matters can wait until afterwards.”

Upon this remark, everyone fell silent. Chang Xuzi had a point; today’s purpose was to capture the Little Ming King.

As for other Jianghu grievances, those would have to wait until the court’s task was completed to be discussed later.

After all, they were nominally the Six Great Sects supported by the court.

Thinking this way, Master Jue Mie remained silent, while Shaolin and other sects were also observing.

Song Yuanqiao from Wudang slightly furrowed his brow, harboring a faint sense of unease in his heart.
