After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 340 The protagonist!

"If you can help me destroy the Kingdom of Nanyue, we can discuss this matter."

Jiang Che smiled faintly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Huangfu Buling, Yuan Chu and others all looked gloomy.

Destroy South Vietnam?
They don't have that ability.

Although they are the young masters of their respective families, they are still part of the younger generation and do not have much power. Before they come to power, their status is high but their power is low.

Huangfu Buling suppressed his displeasure and stared at Jiang Che with a frown:

"Brother Jiang, are you kidding?"

"You were the ones who joked with Jiang first."

Jiang Che glanced at a few people, turned around and left with an indifferent expression.

Just a few promises and I want him to help.

These young men from aristocratic families were obviously overthinking it.

Three in the top ten, what does that mean?
This means that Jiang Che will face enemies that are several times larger than himself, and the gains and losses are simply not proportional.

As for making friends with these young masters of aristocratic families, it has no meaning at all to Jiang Che.

Give him some more time until his cultivation strength improves further.

By then, the only ones who can stand on equal footing with him will be the heads of the major families.

"My brother-in-law has always been like this. Please don't be surprised." Qi Shaoyan explained with a smile, then turned around and left without paying any attention to them.

What these guys said before had already made him unhappy.

She clearly looked down on him and even tried to poach his employees right in front of him.

If he hadn't known that this was not the place to fight, he would have turned hostile long ago.

Seeing Jiang Che not giving them any face at all, the faces of the Ye family's young master and others instantly turned ugly. They looked at Jiang Che's back with a gloomy face and a slightly cold gaze.

"This Jiang Che is really as unruly as the rumors say." Huangfu Buling commented expressionlessly.

“Hmph, he is just relying on the support of Beiling Qi clan, yet he is so disrespectful to us. It is true that he comes from a humble background and has no family education.” The young master of the Ye family was very unhappy.

Winning over Jiang Che was something they had discussed and they thought it was a done deal. However, after they actually met in person, they realized that they and others seemed to be completely ignored by the other party.

They might have been turned down politely, but they didn't expect Jiang Che's refusal to be so blunt.

“Although his words were a bit impolite, they were also within common sense. After all, the competition in this martial arts competition was so fierce that it was not easy for him to fight for a position.

Not to mention helping the three of us grab a seat."

Although Yuan Chu's face looked a little unhappy, he could understand Jiang Che's choice.

After all, the verbal promises made by the three of them had a certain sense of coercion.

"Brother Huangfu, do you want to teach this guy a lesson?" The young master of the Ye family's eyes moved and he suddenly suggested.

Huangfu Buling glanced at him, a smile on his face:
"Okay, I support Brother Ye in taking action and let this person understand what the sky is high and the earth is thick."

"I?"

The corner of the Ye family's young master's mouth twitched, and he said nothing more.

Although he is quite powerful, he believes that he is no match for Jiang Che. He just wanted to watch the fun and it would be best if Huangfu Buling would not become enemies with Jiang Che.

As for himself, forget it.

To put it bluntly, this matter is just a loss of face. If you act on impulse and end up being defeated by Jiang Che, it will affect the battle in the martial arts realm afterwards.

Yuan Chu was not interested in the obscure confrontation between the two and said in a deep voice:
"Since this person won't take action, should we still join forces?"

"Without Jiang Che, do we have no chance? Now the Taoist, Buddhist, and Sword Sects are all secretly banding together, and Jiang Che may have received support from the court.

If we don’t join hands, I’m afraid we won’t be able to grab a single seat.”

Huangfu Buling was determined to get a top ten position and would not allow it to be lost.

“Then if we really grab a seat in the end, who among us will sit on it?” The young master of the Ye family frowned.

They are all young masters of their respective families, representing the top forces, and it is impossible for them to make wedding dresses for others.

"After we occupy the seats, we will compete with each other. It is too early to talk about this now. Let's take this opportunity to recruit more independent masters to help us."

Huangfu Buling shook his head, not wanting to argue too much on this issue in order to avoid hurting the relationship.

"You are really rude. Those guys are not as friendly as they appear to be." After they walked away, Qi Shaoyan suddenly reminded them with a meaningful look.

Jiang Che was fearless when he heard this and smiled contemptuously:
"If these people want to be respectable, they'd better not mess with me. If they don't want to be respectable, I will make sure they can't even get a seat."

Qi Shaoyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Jiang Che carefully.

But he didn't refute it.

Because Jiang Che does have such means now.

It may be difficult to grab a few seats, but if you don't want someone to sit in a certain seat, it is still possible.

Jiang Che's change made him feel a little sad.

The gap between them is getting bigger and bigger.

“Oh, big brother, after you enter the martial realm, you must be prepared. I won’t help others, and I can’t help them, but you are my big brother after all, and I will do my best to help you.

Seeing how much these people value the top ten positions, I think there must be some other magical uses."

Jiang Che still had a good impression of Qi Shaoyan. This brother-in-law had helped him a lot. He would naturally repay the kindness of Beiling Qi family to the best of his ability.

Only by giving and taking can the relationship become closer.

"This... This is not good, right? Don't let me delay your important event because of me." Qi Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.

Everyone knows their own business. Qi Shaoyan is very aware of his own strength. He does not expect to be in the top ten. The most he can do is to perform as well as possible.

Of course, if there was a chance to enter the top ten, he would not refuse.

Who made him have a good brother-in-law?

"Then, I'll do my best to help you this time, and you owe me a favor. If I need your help in the future, you must not refuse." Jiang Che chuckled.

"My current strength can't help you at all."

Qi Shaoyan was a little surprised.

"No matter what, you are still the young master of the Qi family, how could you not help me?"

"Well, whether this succeeds or not, I owe you a favor." Qi Shaoyan said seriously.

Jiang Che subconsciously glanced in Qi Wanjun's direction and nodded with a smile:

"Then it's settled."

"Brother Jiang Jiang, long time no see." While they were talking, suddenly, an abrupt voice rang out. Jiang Che turned around and saw Wei Junjie looking at him with a humble smile on his face.

Jiang Che glanced at Wei Junjie from head to toe, then set his eyes on the figure beside him and nodded slightly:
"It's Brother Wei. It's been a long time since we last met. How are you these days?"

"Thanks to Brother Jiang's kindness, I am still okay." Wei Junjie was overjoyed to see Jiang Che responded to him. He himself didn't understand. Jiang Che just said something, was he really so useless?
But when he came into close contact with Jiang Che, only a smile remained on his face.

"Who is this?"

Jiang Che's eyes turned to the man next to Wei Junjie.

"This is Brother Lu Jieyun, who has become famous in recent years." Wei Junjie said hurriedly.

Jiang Che's eyes fixed on Wei Junjie for a moment, and he nodded slightly:

"I've admired you for a long time."

Jiang Che was not unfamiliar with the name Lu Jieyun.

After all, the other party ranked tenth on the Heiya Martial Book, second only to Huangfu Buling, the young master of the Huangfu family. The most important thing is that this person was of ordinary origin.

To have come this far, he really has some skills.

He had read some of this person's resume. He was born in a small family, was unknown, but suddenly rose to prominence. He got opportunities repeatedly and rose to prominence in the world within a few years.

Moreover, this person is good at networking and has wide social connections. He has strong connections and reputation in the Central Plains.

Also, this person has never joined any force or married into any aristocratic family so far. Everything he has achieved is through his own efforts.

This alone is enough to make people admire it.

Jiang Che even felt that this person was somewhat like a protagonist with good fortune.

"I have really heard of Brother Jiang for a long time. I have always wanted to meet him, but unfortunately he rarely shows up in Central Plains. I just saw him, so I asked Brother Wei to introduce him to me."

Jiang Che thinks Lu Jieyun is the protagonist, but in Lu Jieyun's view, Jiang Che is the real protagonist, an alien who has jumped out of his memory, mysterious and powerful.

While I was interested in him, I also felt a vague fear.

"Brother Lu is too polite."

Jiang Che had a smile on his face.

A few words brought them closer, and Lu Jieyun spoke a little more. On one hand, he was talking about the affairs of the martial arts world, while on the other hand, he was more carefully sensing Jiang Che's subtle changes.

Seeing this, Qi Shaoyan and Wei Junjie were at a loss for words, so they found an excuse and walked away.

The atmosphere in the entire hall gradually returned to normal.

During this period, several true disciples of the top forces came forward to greet Jiang Che and Lu Jieyun. Their purpose was the same as Huangfu Buling's, which was to seek an alliance with them.

But they were all declined by Jiang Che and Lu Jieyun.

"It seems that Brother Lu is very confident about the upcoming martial arts realm battle." Jiang Che originally thought that Lu Jieyun also came to seek his help, but after contacting him, he realized that the other party did not mean that.

It seemed like she just wanted to make friends with him.

They are not even interested in some alliances.

"It's not about confidence, I'm just trying my best. But Brother Jiang, we have a good chance of reaching the top this time." Lu Jieyun waved his hand, being very humble.

"Faced with all the heroes in the world gathering together, Jiang doesn't have the confidence."

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes.

"If even Brother Jiang doesn't have confidence, then I'm afraid no one would dare to make such a bold statement. By the way, there is something I would like to remind Brother Jiang of."

Lu Jieyun's expression suddenly turned serious and he looked a little solemn.

"Oh? Brother Lu is frank."

"In this battle of the martial realm, there are several difficult people. Brother Jiang, please be careful. One of them is Monk Sanzang from the Great Leiyin Temple. This person practices both Dharma and body, and is extremely extraordinary.

The second one is Chu He, the Saint of Qingtian Sect. He possesses the Nine Suns Saint Body, and his fighting skills are extremely powerful. Brother Jiang must remember not to let him get close to him."

Lu Jieyun could feel Jiang Che's alienation towards him. In fact, this was normal. After all, it was their first meeting. But in order to make friends with Jiang Che temporarily, he decided to tell him some information from his memory.

"Blue Sky Saint Chu He?"

Jiang Che knew clearly that the monk Sanzang was listed first in the Black Ya Martial Book and was said to be the reincarnation of Bodhisattva, but Chu He, the Holy Son of Qingtian, made him somewhat suspicious.

Because he seemed to have never heard of this name.

But looking at Lu Jieyun's solemn expression, it seemed that this matter could not be false.

Lu Jieyun nodded heavily:
"This person has always been very mysterious. Even in the Qingtian Sect, not much is known about him. However, his strength is indeed among the best among his peers. This martial arts battle is probably his first battle after years of training."

"Brother Lu is very well-informed."

Lu Jieyun could not deny this:
"After years of wandering around the martial arts world, I do have some secret channels. In addition to Chu He, Li Xuanzhen, Jiang Ping, and Chen Ping are not unknown people either. By the way, as far as I know, even people from the Baiyue countries have come to participate in the battle. Although Brother Jiang is very powerful, it is best not to underestimate the enemy."

Jiang Che's eyes moved, thinking about the martial arts ranking that the court was about to set up, and suddenly said:
"Brother Lu, do you know why there are so many talented heroes participating in this martial arts battle?"

Lu Jieyun pondered for a moment and then said:
“As far as I know, the court seems to be planning a major event that will affect the world situation, and this battle in the martial realm is the core. There is another thing, but I don’t know whether it is true or not.

It is said that if you can enter the top ten in this martial arts battle, you will be favored by the heaven and earth. The higher your ranking, the more luck you will get. "

"Luck. It seems that it has been the same in previous generations, right?"

Jiang Che stared at the other person seriously. He was somewhat surprised that Lu Jieyun knew that the court was planning something big, because even Qi Shaoyan was not aware of this.

This shows how strictly the court blocked information.

How did Lu Jieyun, a Xuandan master with no background, know about this?

"Although there have been rumors in previous years, this year is very different. You will understand once Brother Jiang actually wins the top ten." Lu Jieyun smiled and didn't explain it too clearly.

"So, Brother Lu is also interested in competing for the top ten this time?"

"I will try my best to fight for it, and I hope Brother Jiang will show mercy."

"Haha, Brother Lu is too polite."

Jiang and Lu both behaved very modestly.

Just as the two were testing each other, suddenly, there was some commotion around them. Jiang Che and the others looked and saw a young man in a black robe standing at the door.

With an indifferent look on his face, he looked at everyone present unscrupulously.

There was an undisguised powerful aura emanating from his entire body.

It was as if he didn't take anyone seriously, and he was very arrogant.

Lu Jieyun looked at him carefully for a moment, and suddenly whispered to Jiang Che:
"This person is the current Saint Son of the Qingtian Sect, the Nine Sun Saint Body, Chu He."

Jiang Che looked at the strange man for a few seconds and nodded slightly.

Lu Jieyun was indeed right. Just from the aura emanating from this person, he could feel that this Chu He was extremely powerful and was a tough and formidable opponent.
