Chapter 208

In the Jianghu, no single faction can withstand the wrath of the imperial court alone.

"Since when did it become your turn to speak?"

Xiao Mochen dismissed him with disdain.

Wang Chongyang was certainly good at playing the saint.

He was still in a life-or-death situation himself, yet he was using Xiao Mochen's favor to act the good guy.

"Do you truly dare to kill me?"

"Xiao Mochen, your strength is profound, but the imperial court is absolutely not someone you can provoke!"

Zhao Min, her identity now exposed, spoke in her normal voice.

"The antidote, hand it over!"

Xiao Mochen held out his hand.

"The antidote is on my person!"

"If you have the ability, come and take it!"

Zhao Min was defiant.

She did not believe Xiao Mochen dared to lay a hand on her.

But the next moment, Xiao Mochen took a step and vanished from where he stood.

"Princess, watch out!"

He Biweng cried out in alarm.

He realized that, without him knowing when it happened, Xiao Mochen had already arrived beside Zhao Min.

It was as if he had been standing there all along.

What terrifying speed this was.

Was this the Mad Sword Immortal?

Based on this alone, among those present, no one was his match.

"What, what are you trying to do?"

Zhao Min was startled.

"Didn't you tell me to take the antidote myself?"

Xiao Mochen sneered.

He reached out and grabbed Zhao Min directly.

This action instantly sent Zhao Min into a panic.

As a princess, everyone respected her and feared her.

Never before had she had such intimate contact with a man.

Xiao Mochen, however, paid no mind to such things and began fumbling all over her body.

His wicked hand even reached inside her bodice.

"Quite well-endowed, aren't you!"

Xiao Mochen chuckled; he had found the antidote.

Zhao Min had hidden it quite deep.

As he withdrew his hand, Xiao Mochen took the opportunity to give her a squeeze.

"Ah!"

Instantly, Zhao Min's shriek rang out.

"I, this princess will kill you!"

Zhao Min was driven mad.

Xiao Mochen had humiliated her so thoroughly!

Her chaste body had been molested in front of everyone.

Seeing Xiao Mochen take a step and appear beside Huang Rong and the other women,

Zhao Min went completely berserk.

But she was struck on the neck by Ku Toutuo and knocked unconscious.

"Everyone, you have the antidote now!"

"Let this matter be settled here, how about that?"

Ku Toutuo placed a hand over his heart and bowed.

"Why should we let it be settled here?"

Huang Rong, having neutralized the poison and feeling her true qi return, let out a cold snort.

"That's right!"

"You colluded with the Qingcheng Sect and the others to take our lives!"

"And now, you want to leave?"

"Not a chance!"

Li Mochou neutralized her poison and channeled her internal energy.

People of the Jianghu settle their debts clearly.

"Everyone, although we used poison, you have now obtained the antidote!"

"Furthermore, protected by the Sword Immortal, you are all unharmed!"

"Look at us instead; we have suffered heavy losses. Is that not enough?"

"Moreover, Princess Minmin is one of the Emperor's most beloved princesses."

"Although not his biological daughter, he treats her as his own."

"If anything were to happen to her, the imperial court would be enraged. I ask you all, who here can withstand the wrath of the court?"

Ku Toutuo pleaded earnestly.

Hearing this, the crowd fell into silence.

Although the Nine Provinces is a world of martial arts, the power of the imperial court cannot be underestimated.

If the court were to target any one faction, they truly would not be able to block it.

"And what if I say no?"

Xiao Mochen chuckled.

What he hated most was being coerced.

"I naturally believe the Sword Immortal is fearless."

"But what about Peach Blossom Island?"

"What about the people around you?"

"And the Quanzhen Sect, the Beggar Gang—can you truly withstand the wrath of the court?"

"As long as the Sword Immortal stops now, this matter will be as if it never happened."

Lu Zhangke also offered his promise.

For a moment, the crowd looked at Xiao Mochen, full of entreaty.

They had vast estates and could not afford to oppose the court.

Yet, the court also dared not fall out with the Jianghu.

Because if pushed too hard, the martial artists of the Nine Provinces would unite, and even the court could not hold them back.

For years, both sides had maintained a fragile balance.

At this moment, if that were broken,

they would be the first victims.

"Is that so?"

Xiao Mochen chuckled.

However, the next moment,

he activated his Sword Immortal Dharma Form.

Instantly, a terrifying power radiated out, and a massive phantom image appeared in mid-air.

The horrific pressure made everyone feel their souls trembling.

"Not good, run!"

Ku Toutuo cried out in alarm.
