Tomb Raider: The man is in the Nine Gates, but the system insists it's the Primordial Era.

Su Mu, who was almost suffocating, looked in confusion at the front of the crowd.

Whenever important figures arrive, the crowd instinctively makes way for them to reach the front.

Holding a small bamboo-ribbed paper fan, unlike most folding fans, Huo Jinxi walked slowly and arrogantly.

"Isn't that a Japanese fan? Does the head of the Huo family have such a hobby?"

"Maybe they think it's pretty and attractive, but I always think it's tacky, too girly and petty."

"Hehe, if Huo San Niang were paired with that little pillow behind the Japanese geisha, she would look much better."

"You want to die? You know who she is, and you still dare to talk nonsense?"

"If it were any other sect leader of the Nine Gates, I might not dare to, but as for her, I just like to say, so what? This woman is sick, she just looks down on all the men in the world, tch."

"..."

Huo Jinxi raised her eyebrows and eyes.

She ignored the passersby who greeted her, and continued walking forward with an ambiguous smile on her face.

"Oh, everyone's here? I knew it. The Nine Gates wouldn't let some random brat step on Eighth Master's head."

"They were all summoned by Master Fo, weren't they? And Master Fo, why didn't you send anyone to inform the Huo family?"

"Luckily, I also got the news and rushed over, and I brought all the capable members of the Huo family with me, right? It's that kid, isn't it?"

"If you won't make a move, then I will. Do you think I, a mere woman, can earn back the reputation of the Nine Gates? Tsk tsk tsk."

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and smash that kid's place up! Can't you see that Eighth Master's gang is right next door?"

"Yes."

The Huo family members frowned and pushed through the crowd to step forward.

Clang—

The burly man in the straw hat silently drew his sword, tucking the scabbard between his left elbow and right hand.

He stood alone in front of the Huo family.

"Auntie!" Huo Xian'er stared in astonishment at the scene before her.

Huo Jinxi brought so many people here not to celebrate with Su Mu.

They came here to cause trouble in public.

"Get out of here!"

"You think you can stop all of us by yourself?"

"Don't forget, many of us from the Nine Gates are here today. Do we really have to all work together and step over your dead body to get past you?"

"Let me make this clear from the start, as everyone has heard: it's not that our Nine Gates are heartless, it's that this burly man sought his own death!"

"All of you, get up here!"

"..."

In front of the crowd.

Zhang Rishan, with his fists clasped in front of his chest, nudged Wu Laogou with his shoulder: "You're such a good person, aren't you going to try and persuade him?"

Wu, the puppy, chuckled as he stroked the fur on the back of the white puppy in his arms. "Third Sister said this is to save face for the Nine Gates and for Buddha. If you don't try to dissuade me, what am I supposed to do?"

Snapped.

With one hand on each of Zhang Rishan's and Wu Laogou's shoulders, Qi Tiezui, who had popped his head out from behind, stood on tiptoe to watch the spectacle.

"Weren't you all here to celebrate for him? How did you suddenly start fighting? If you fight, are they a match for that evil star? In all my years, I don't think I've ever seen that evil star hold back or lose a battle."

Zhang Rishan and Wu Laogou exchanged a glance and smiled bitterly.

Of all the Nine Gates, the only one who dares to call Black-Backed Old Sixth Fiend Star is probably the one right in front of us.

Ironically, Blackback Six could never get angry with Qi Tiezui.

They all just curse him as a cowardly, spineless coward.

Qi Tiezui never fought with anyone. Even when Black-backed Lao Liu insulted him, he didn't retaliate but simply turned and ran away in a huff.

Jie Jiu pushed up his glasses: "Are you all really just going to watch this show unfold like this?"

Qi Tiezui pouted, "Why don't you, Ninth Master, go and try to persuade that scoundrel?"

Upon hearing this, Jie Jiu's hand, which was pushing up his glasses, trembled slightly.

Blackback Lao Liu was never a reasonable guy; he was stubborn and inflexible.

At this point, anyone who tries to persuade him to stop will become his target.

If a real fight breaks out, perhaps only Buddha Zhang Qishan from the entire Nine Gates would be able to withstand two moves from the opponent.

Remember, it's just two moves.

"Damn it! It's Sixth Master!"

The Huo family members, who were the first to step forward, wanting to teach the burly man, whose face was covered by a straw hat and who had his head down, a lesson, turned and ran away as if they had seen a ghost when they saw the man's face.

"Who?"

The companion's swift, lightning-fast movements, along with the terrified cries that drifted through the air, swept past the remaining members of the Huo family.

"you!"

Huo Jinxi's face turned ugly after being bumped on the shoulder by her subordinate who rushed back and ran away.

She didn't hear what her subordinate had just said.

They would turn and run away as if they had seen a ghost, leaving no room for retreat.

"six!"

The second curious person stepped forward to take a look, and just like before, turned and ran away at the fastest speed he had ever seen, no longer caring about the Huo family or the Nine Gates.

The third person, who was about to repeat the same mistake, stepped forward to look, but suddenly widened his eyes and covered his neck.

He used all his fingers to desperately cover his throat, but he still couldn't stop the blood gushing out like a spring from the blood vessels ripped open by the sharp blade.

After drawing the knife.

The people present finally saw the true face of the burly man in the straw hat.

"Back off! Everyone, back off!"

"No! Run! This guy never leaves anyone alive!"

"run!"

The Huo family's men took a few steps back, then suddenly remembered something, pushed through the crowd, and ran towards the outer perimeter.

Because there was a saying that circulated within the Nine Gates.

Blackback Old Six has no rivals.

Because once you become Black-Backed Six's target, either Black-Backed Six dies, or the other person dies.

"Although this 'Fierce Star' is ugly and has a terrible temper, I must say, his swordsmanship is truly impressive!"

Qi Tiezui huddled behind several sect leaders, speaking with a grin.

Zhang Rishan, Wu Laogou, Jie Jiu, and the others all nodded.

It's rare for people to see Blackback Six draw his knife, especially in such a crowded place.

Most of the stories about Blackback Six's martial arts skills are just rumors in the martial arts world; very few people have actually seen him fight.

After all, none of those he forced to take action survived.

Jie Jiu toyed with the blade in his hand under his sleeve, a heavy feeling settling in his heart.

Despite possessing formidable martial arts skills in private, after witnessing that slash, he had no confidence or assurance in facing Blackback Six.

"Master, it's not that we're cowards, it's just that that guy is Sixth Master!"

Those who had just run out were still in the crowd, shouting as they tried to salvage the increasingly out-of-control situation.

Huo Jinxi's knuckles, which were clearly visible, were bluish as she held the paper fan.

She also saw the true face of the burly man in the straw hat and learned his identity.

If Su Mu had only hired ordinary martial arts figures to protect him, the Huo family could have easily overwhelmed him with a single spit within Changsha.

But if you hire the black-backed old man...

That would be a different story...

Huo Jinxi forced a smile: "So it's Sixth Master. I wonder what benefits this kid gave you? Sixth Master is willing to turn against the Nine Gates to help him?"

"Ahem, you said it yourself, it has nothing to do with us." Zhang Rishan tightened his collar and couldn't help but speak up.

As he bent over, grooming the puppy in his arms, Old Wu asked in a low voice, "Nine Gates, are they the nine gates of your Huo family?"
