Chapter 426

Because he knew,

Baili Dongjun had no good feelings toward the Xiao Imperial Clan.

Although when Ye Dingzhi led a group of Hidden River experts to march east back then, they were successfully blocked by Baili Dongjun and the others, leading to Ye Dingzhi being forced to commit suicide in the end.

But regarding Ye Dingzhi's death,

if one were to ask who was the most distressed, Baili Dongjun would definitely be one of them.

Because Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi had been the best of playmates since childhood, and even after both became top experts in the Jianghu, they remained very close friends.

But because of Emperor Mingde,

the two were forced to turn their blades against each other.

Back then, Baili Dongjun had tried to take Ye Dingzhi away, and for this, he did not hesitate to offend Emperor Mingde, beating the other party's cultivation from the Carefree Heaven Realm down to the Free Earth Realm.

He even told Emperor Mingde directly that he was not allowed to use martial arts ever again, otherwise he would only be able to lie on the dragon throne for the rest of his life.

However,

Snow Moon City at that time was only a Jianghu faction, and Baili Dongjun was likewise not invincible in the world.

Facing the behemoth that was Tianqi City,

Baili Dongjun finally chose to compromise.

Because whether it was Baili Dongjun or the other experts who participated in resisting the Hidden River's eastern march back then,

everyone knew,

that since there was already the precedent of Ye Dingzhi, Emperor Mingde would absolutely not allow a second such massive Jianghu faction to appear in the Northern Li Dynasty.

Consequently, later on,

in order to preserve Snow Moon City,

Baili Dongjun promised Emperor Mingde that he would not be a minister or a prince in this life, but only a Jianghu wanderer, and would never interfere in court affairs again.

This was also the reason why Sikong Changfeng was in charge of Snow Moon City now.

And,

if it weren't for this promise,

as Li Hanyi's Senior Brother, how could Baili Dongjun have allowed Li Hanyi to go to the execution ground alone back then?

Hearing Xiao Se also knew,

that the reason Old Master Tang dared to join forces with the Hidden River to ambush Li Hanyi was that there must have been the reason that Baili Dongjun could not interfere in court affairs.

Otherwise,

even if the Tang Men were given a few more guts, the other party would mostly not dare to betray Snow Moon City, and even if they still chose to betray, they would absolutely not dare to agree to the Hidden River's request to cooperate in assassinating Li Hanyi.

However,

these things were all in the past.

Now,

Baili Dongjun had already broken through to the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm.

And in Snow Moon City,

there was even Jiang Chen, who could kill the Dao Sword Immortal Zhao Yuzhen with one sword, sitting in town.

Therefore, Hearing Xiao Se did not know if Baili Dongjun would still abide by the promise from back then.

Fortunately,

seemingly seeing through what Hearing Xiao Se was thinking, Baili Dongjun said faintly:

"... As the Great City Master of Snow Moon City, since I made a promise to your father back then, I naturally will not go back on it. And now that Sikong Changfeng has chosen to support you, I also respect his decision."

"However, perhaps to you, everything you are doing now is merely to seek justice for Prince Langya and to find the person who secretly poisoned you back then. But since you already know that Jiang Chen is Li Hanyi's disciple, then I think you should also be able to guess what will happen in the future."

"I naturally know."

Hearing Xiao Se also looked at Baili Dongjun and said softly: "Actually, whether I seek out Snow Moon City or not, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal will inevitably return to Tianqi one day."

"It is good that you are clear in your heart."

Baili Dongjun glanced at Lei Wujie, then continued:

"Although Snow Moon City does not want to be involved in the temple, if there really is such a day in the future, I will absolutely not stand idly by again."

The reason Baili Dongjun said this,

was because he knew that whether it was Jiang Chen or Sikong Changfeng, the reason they agreed to Hearing Xiao Se was all just because of Li Hanyi.

And at this moment,

regarding what the relationship between Snow Moon City and Tianqi City will be in the future, it all depends on how Hearing Xiao Se chooses in the future.

Following that,

Baili Dongjun then said to Hearing Xiao Se:

"Now, I will take you to see Mo Yi. As for whether the other party is willing to save you, that is not something I can decide."
