They had considered that these three top-tier experts with formidable combat power could not be ordinary people; they must have extremely distinguished identities.

But no one expected that their identities would be so illustrious.

Ren Pingsheng.

Ta Ye.

Li Yourong.

These three, if placed in the Great Zhou Dynasty, would basically be among the top ten in terms of combat strength.

Ren Pingsheng was also the head of the Dan Pavilion, which was the head of the largest alchemist organization in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Offending him is equivalent to offending more than half of the alchemists in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Then look at Li Yourong, the owner of Yanyu Tower. He is the head of the largest merchant guild in the Great Zhou Dynasty. His shops and businesses are spread throughout all the cities of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He is almost as rich as a country. In the imperial city, he is even known as "Li Half-City".

Finally, there's Master Ta. Although he has no powerful backing, this kind of lone wolf is the most terrifying. After all, those with nothing to lose are not afraid of those with something to lose. If you provoke him, he'll really fight you to the death.

"You were the one who told us to take off our masks just now. Now that we've taken them off, why are you so silent?"

Ren Pingsheng looked at Li Changhe, who was frozen in place, and broke the silence with his voice.

Li Changhe came to his senses.

But what could he say?

These three entities, if considered individually, could potentially clash.

However, even with the size of the Li Prince's Mansion, it would be difficult to withstand three of them at once.

Taking a deep breath, Li Changhe suppressed his anger and said in a conciliatory tone, "The three of you are all prominent figures in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Why bother risking your lives for the heir of a fallen royal family?"

"Today, as long as you turn around and leave, the Li Prince's Mansion will forgive and forget everything you did before."

A murmur of dismay rippled through the crowd.

Li Changhe has already made significant concessions, after all, the number of high-ranking officials of the Li Prince's Mansion who died at the hands of the three men is too many to count on two hands.

However, the three remained unmoved.

Li Changhe gritted his teeth and raised his stakes: "How about this, whatever Qin Changye gives you, I'll pay double."

However, the three remained unmoved.

Over the years, ten princes have been vying for the throne. Each of them has approached them openly or secretly, promising them large sums of money, but they have remained unmoved and simply refused.

How could I possibly care about Li Changhe's paltry sum of money today?

Li Yourong, in particular, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Bribe her with money?

Is this an insult to her?

Over the years, she has never cared whether her friends were rich or not, because none of them were as rich as her.

"What do you want from me before you turn around and leave?"

Li Changhe simply got straight to the point and asked.

"He is my master's friend. As long as I can still breathe today, I will not sit idly by."

Ren Pingsheng straightened his chest and spoke with a firm and powerful tone.

"He is my master's friend. If you want to harm him, you'll have to step over my dead body first."

Grandpa Ta took a big gulp of wine, his voice resounding.

Li Yourong's stunningly beautiful face glowed slightly in the moonlight: "He is my... man's friend. Today, if he points east, I will go east; if he points west, I will go west."

Li Changhe's expression changed several times: "So, there's absolutely no room for negotiation?"

The three nodded without hesitation.

Their resolute attitude made Qin Changye look at them with even greater respect.

"Good, very good, excellent!"

"Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for fighting you to the death!"

A resolute look flashed across Li Changhe's face, as if he had made a momentous decision.

He carefully took out a token from his pocket.

This token is completely black.

The back features eerie, blood-red inscriptions.

The front is engraved with a blood-red character "天" (heaven).

He offered a drop of his essence blood, absorbed it into the token, and then raised the token high: "The Heavenly King's Decree is here. I, in my capacity as the Heavenly King of the Blood-Clad Guard, command all the elders of the Blood-Clad Guard to put down what they are doing and come here as quickly as possible."

As his voice fell, the token erupted with a vast crimson light, illuminating most of the imperial city for an instant.

Blood-Clad Guards!

Numerous experts and powerful figures emerge here.

It is the most mysterious and powerful underground force in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Although in recent years, with the disappearance of the "Heavenly King's Decree" that could summon the Blood-Clad Guards, the Blood-Clad Guards have gone into hiding and gradually disappeared, but their legends still circulate in the martial arts world.

There are even rumors that the "Heavenly King's Decree" has fallen into the Qin Prince's mansion.

In retrospect, that was a huge mistake.

The "Heavenly King's Decree" had apparently fallen into the hands of Prince Li.

Li Changhe, who holds the "Heavenly King's Decree," is also the highest leader of the Blood-Clad Guards: Lord Heavenly King!

Some people even privately referred to this Heavenly King as the underground emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The prestige of their status is self-evident.

The entire venue erupted in a tremendous uproar at that moment.

Facing the astonished gazes of the crowd, Li Changhe's face was full of heroic spirit, but he was somewhat doubtful in his heart.

He knew very well that this "Heavenly King's Decree" was actually a forgery created by their Li Royal Palace at great cost and with all their might.

However, according to the elder brother Li Changhai, the weapon-forging master who forged this "Heavenly King Token" and the weapon-forging master who forged the real "Heavenly King Token" were fellow disciples.

The forged "Heavenly King's Decree" was almost indistinguishable from the real thing, and it even managed to summon the six elders of the Blood-Clad Guards.

As for being suspected of having an identity by the six elders?

There's absolutely nothing to worry about!

The Blood-Clad Guards, as the most powerful underground organization in the Great Zhou Dynasty, were able to maintain their peak for many years because of their overall strength and, more importantly, their secrecy regarding their identities.

Every member was dressed in the same blood-red clothes, wore the same blood-red hat, and covered their face with the same blood-red veil.

These blood-red garments could not only conceal one's appearance but also block one's breath and alter one's voice.

Therefore, even the six elders did not know the other party's true identity.

It's even less likely that they'd know the "Heavenly King's" true identity.

They recognize the "Heavenly King's Decree" and only recognize the "Heavenly King's Decree".

To expose him, the only way is for a real "Heavenly King's Decree" to appear.

There's even less to worry about then!

The real "Heavenly King's Decree" has been lost for many years and disappeared without a trace. How could it possibly appear today?
