The chivalrous spirit is fickle

Shi Gu shook his head and answered honestly.

"If we can't deal with it, at most both sides will suffer losses."

Without waiting for Xiaojiu to speak, Shigu smiled and turned to look outside the door.

"But I have a helper, a helper at the peak of the ninth rank."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door slowly opened, and a burly middle-aged man stood behind the door with a complicated expression. It was Su Xun, the leader of the Xuanming Division.

Liu Zhong of the Yulin League did not take action last night. In fact, he was not concerned about Shi Gu, but Su Xun.

Su Xun walked slowly into the house, looked at Shi Gu, and sighed.

"You tricked me."

Shi Gu did not answer when he heard this, but just looked at Shen Yue and the other two and spoke softly.

"You three should go out first. I have something to say to this dog meat seller."

Hearing this, Shen Yue and the other two looked at each other and walked out of the room. For a moment, only Shi Gu and Su Xun were left in the room.

Su Xun sat down casually, flipped his hand, and took out a wine jug from somewhere. He poured out the tea in the cup, poured a glass of wine, and pushed it towards Shi Gu.

"Did you expect me to take action?"

Shi Gu picked up the wine glass and shook it slightly. The wine was emerald green and had a refreshing fragrance. It was a rare good wine. He smiled slightly, drank it all in one gulp, sat next to Su Xun, and said.

"Lao Su, let me be frank. You look like a nasty businessman now."

"Looking ahead and behind, hesitating, he is alone calculating gains and losses."

Shi Gu laughed at Su Xun wantonly, snatched the wine jug from Su Xun's hand, poured himself another glass of wine, and pointed his finger at Su Xun's nose and said.

"So, when I kill a total of forty ninth-grade masters, you will have to consider whether I am more valuable than the Yulin League and Yaowang Valley."

Su Xun snatched the wine jug, glared at Shi Gu and sneered.

"You really think too highly of yourself. Even after last night, you can never be more valuable than Yaowang Valley and Yulin League."

"Their two sect leaders are both at the peak of the ninth rank martial realm. Especially in Medicine King Valley, it is said that there are monsters at the demon transformation realm. You are really good at flattering yourself by comparing you to them."

Shi Gu was holding the wine glass, but he smiled even more happily when he heard that. He raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully.

"But it will obviously be more satisfying if you join forces with me."

"Mr. Shi, why do you sound weird?"

Shi Gu took a sip of wine, looked at Su Xun, his eyes softened a lot, and shook his head.

"Old Su, Old Su, let me ask you one question. Are you happy being the clan leader?"

Su Xun was stunned when he heard this. After a moment, he picked up the wine glass, looked down at the green wine, and said lightly.

"What if I'm happy? What if I'm not happy?"

"I didn't become the leader just for fun."

Shi Gu was not surprised by Su Xun's negative answer and continued.

"This world is too mundane, without any trace of immortality."

"The so-called five major sects are just like the ordinary sects in Daliang and Da Zhou, fighting for petty gains and getting hurt."

"You are already at the ninth level of martial arts, you should be able to go anywhere and be free, but you are always thinking about these low-level things. If you are like this, it will be a miracle if you can enter the Xiantian realm."

As he spoke, Shi Gu pointed his big hand at Su Xun's frowning brows.

"If you continue like this, you will never be able to enter the Xiantian Martial Realm in your lifetime. You are not a person who likes this kind of thing. You imprison yourself in the Xuanming Division and lock yourself up completely."

Su Xun put down his wine glass, slammed the table, and shouted in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense. We can't just throw away the legacy passed down by our ancestors."

"I can't let the Xuanming Division decline in my hands. Otherwise, how will I meet my ancestor and my master in the afterlife?"

The more Su Xun spoke, the more depressed he became. He simply picked up the wine jug and poured the wine into his mouth. After drinking most of the jug, Su Xun's face flushed slightly and he slapped the table and said.

"I really do look down on what the Yulin League and Yaowang Valley are doing, but I can't do anything about it. The Demon Cult is getting stronger day by day. If I don't stick together with these two unfortunate guys, there will be no place for my Xuanming Division in this world."

"When we were besieging the Blood Demon, no one in my Xuanming Division retreated. What was the result?"

"All the demon-transforming cultivators of the Xuanming Division died at the hands of the Blood Demon. On the contrary, the group of turtle eggs in the Medicine King Valley still had one demon-transforming cultivator left."

"Among the five major sects, my Xuanming Division is the weakest, relying on me alone to support it."

"I also want to be as carefree as you, but I can't."

The more Su Xun spoke, the more depressed he became. Finally, he pushed the wine jug aside, handed it to Shi Gu, and shouted.

"No more talking, drink!"

Shi Gu pushed the wine jug away with disdain. Su Xun had already drunk from it. If the other person was a beauty, he wouldn't mind, but Su Xun was a rough man, so he had to be disdainful.

Shi Gu pushed away the wine jug and said.

"I have a way to make your Demon Cult stand with you."

Upon hearing this, Su Xun looked at Shi Gu with disdain and said with a pout.

"Come on, forget it. You have left behind so many romantic debts over the years that you haven't paid them off yet. Now don't tell me that you had an affair with the leader of the Demon Cult."

After saying that, Su Xun's eyes flashed and he spoke thoughtfully.

"That's not necessarily true. You were able to trick the cult leader's dog into coming here and then kill and eat it. Obviously, you have a close relationship with him."

"Are you really having an affair with that girl from the Demon Cult?"

Shi Gu's eyes twitched, and he wanted to slap Su Xun on the head. Shen Yue and the other two were eavesdropping outside the door, and this guy had to talk about some romantic debt.

At least Xiaojiu, who is very jealous, will probably explode.

"Bullshit, when have I ever had any romantic debts?"

Shi Gu slammed the table and started cursing. If he was not firm in his attitude now, he would be in big trouble later, especially for someone like him who had no idea how to coax a girl.

"The leader of the Demon Cult and I have a friendship. To be more precise, she owes me a favor."

"As for the romantic debts, can you imagine how that crazy woman likes people?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xun couldn't help but imagine the soft and gentle voice of the Demon Cult leader, and immediately got goose bumps all over his body.

"Yeah, it's really creepy."

The same is true for Shi Gu. The look of the Demon Cult leader acting like a spoiled child can give people nightmares. That person's eyes should only have Po Jing Xiantian and no room for anything else.

"Let's not talk about the fact that the Demon Cult leader owes me a favor, you should also think about your ancestor of the Xuanming Division."

Su Xun raised his eyebrows, looking puzzled, and asked.

"How to say?"

Shi Gu stretched out his fingers, tapped the table lightly, and spoke slowly.

"The founder of your Xuanming Division was originally a butcher. When he was young, he saw injustice and killed a young man from an aristocratic family who bullied men and women, right?"

Su Xun's expression became serious, and he immediately shook his head and corrected himself.

"The master used a butcher knife at that time. This point cannot be ignored."

"Okay, okay, butcher knife, butcher knife."

Shi Gu was helpless and continued.

"After he killed someone, he was hunted down by the noble families. He suffered a lot along the way."

"But fortunately, after all the hardship comes happiness. During the process of hunting down the enemy, your ancestor's realm improved very quickly and he became a master that the aristocratic family couldn't afford to offend."

Su Xun nodded. He knew this story by heart. He had heard it countless times since he was a child.

"Your ancestor entered the ninth-grade peak martial realm and founded the Xuanming Division. He then went to the ghost swamp in the south and killed monsters in the north. He fought hundreds of fierce battles and his life was on the line many times. Is that right or wrong?"

Su Xun sat up straighter, raised his head a little, and spoke seriously.

"Of course. The founder hated evil and was ready to face death. Even now, there are stone tablets erected for him by local people in the south and north."

"It is precisely because of the various feats of our ancestors that our Xuanming Division has become one of the five major sects."

Shi Gu nodded slightly and continued.

“However, just when your ancestor was in seclusion and preparing to enter the Xiantian realm, a great demon appeared in the world. Although he was about to enter the Xiantian realm, your ancestor still resolutely came out of seclusion and went with the heroes of the martial arts world to kill the great demon.”

"After that great war, the great demon fell into slumber, and your ancestor fell and died."

Su Xun looked gloomy and sighed.

"At that time, the successor of the Heavenly Master was in the inheritance stage, and someone was needed to delay time for the Heavenly Master. My ancestor used his own life to buy the last bit of time for the Heavenly Master."

Shi Gu tapped the table lightly, looked at Su Xun, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, your ancestor is undoubtedly a hero and a man worthy of respect."

"Then let me ask you, when your ancestor killed that noble family disciple alone, did he ever think about the gains and losses?"

"When he was facing the monsters of the north and south alone, was he thinking that Xuanmingsi would occupy a good position in the martial arts world?"

"He knew he was going to die, but he still wanted to stop the demon. Was he thinking about the future prosperity of Xuanming Division?"

Su Xun's expression froze, he lowered his head, and was unable to speak.

"Your ancestor probably never thought that while he risked his own life, his disciples acted like businessmen, only caring about the status of the sect and colluding with a group of villains."

"If he were alive and met you, what would he say?"

Listening to Shi Gu's questioning, Su Xun smiled bitterly and sighed.

"Stop talking. I'll help you. You're indeed a good lobbyist."

Upon hearing this, Shi Gu shook his head and sighed.

"If you are really a bad person, it will be useless for me to say such eloquent things."

Chapter 88: Zombies and Monsters (I)

There are naturally ready-made clothing shops in Huiyin City. Among all the large and small clothing shops, Li Ji's Clothing Shop located in the city center is the most famous one.

Li Ji Garment Shop has excellent silk and prices, and there is a constant stream of customers coming to the store every day.

But when the people of Huiyin City thought of Li’s Garment Shop, they always felt that the store had too many rules.

There were no windows in the shop and it was completely dark. Even in the daytime one had to light a candle to see clearly. When a customer asked about it, Shopkeeper Li explained with a smile.

He asked an expert to calculate it, and he was told that if he opened the window, his wealth would leak out. He wanted his own wealth, so he locked it tightly.

No one knew the name of Shopkeeper Li, and when someone asked, his answer was different every time. He looked very young, with delicate features, and owned a shop that did good business.

Therefore, many matchmakers came to his house, wanting to find a partner for him, but Manager Li always declined, saying that he had already married and had children.

As time went by, the matchmaker stopped coming to his house, but the neighbors began to doubt the wife he was talking about.

Shopkeeper Li has been in Huiyin City for five years, but no one has seen his wife, which naturally makes people suspicious. Perhaps because of this suspicion, the wife that Shopkeeper Li mentioned showed up on a rainy day.

That day, it was raining heavily. The customers who came to the store were surprised to find a woman sitting in the store. The woman had delicate and graceful features and was graceful and elegant. She was the wife of Shopkeeper Li, named Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying seemed to not like showing up in public. She sat quietly in the store without saying a word. Her sleeves were very long, covering her hands. Apart from that, the only impression people had of her was her frighteningly pale skin.

When Shopkeeper Li looked at her, his eyes were gentle and tender, as if he was looking at his most cherished treasure.

From then on, no one doubted the proprietress of Li Ji's Garment Shop anymore, but she still complained about the dim environment in the store.

However, just today, a window of Li Ji's Garment Shop was opened, and it was cut open from top to bottom by a sword.

The sword flashed like water. Qiao Fu strode into the store and slashed with his sword, cutting off most of the store. In an instant, dust rose up and the customers in the store scattered.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Li's face turned pale, but he still walked out of the counter and greeted them with a smile.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Qiao Fu glanced at Shopkeeper Li, then turned to look at Nanmian and Li Buque who had just walked into the store, and asked.

"is it him?"

Nanmian held a ball of mist in his hand. After taking a closer look at the mist, he shook his head and said.

"Not him. He's in the cabinet on the left."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Li's face changed drastically, as if he had become a different person. He stood in front of the cabinet and shouted at several people.
