Chapter 119

Even though Yan Shisan and Ye Gucheng's identities have not been verified!

But he dared not gamble!!

After all.

If he lost the gamble.

The cost would be the entire Xia Society!

This was something he could not bear!

"Why bother?"

Yan Shisan sighed.

Slowly drew his Bone Poison Sword.

Beside him.

Ye Gucheng, silent as ever, expressionless, drew his Flying Rainbow Sword.

Immediately after.

Terrifying aura erupted violently from both their bodies, surging straight to Fairy Yunxiao.

Overwhelming killing intent instantly flooded the entire arena.

Even the temperature around them.

Plunged abruptly at that moment.

"I've hated the two of you ice blocks for ages!"

"We warriors must press forward without hesitation—worst case, we die!!"

Jiang Duanping, with his fiery temper flaring.

Roared loudly upon seeing this.

Raised his right hand, holding his blade horizontally before him.

His peerless peak cultivation surged fully into motion.

The battle was about to erupt!

Jiang Renting, who had witnessed this scene.

His expression flickered between dark and light.

Watching his younger brother prepare to charge at Yan Shisan and the other.

A flicker of helplessness passed through his eyes as he bellowed.

"Stop!!"

"Huh? Big brother?!"

Jiang Duanping froze mid-movement, turning to look at him.

His eyes filled with deep confusion and disbelief.

Too bad.

Jiang Renting gave him no explanation.

Took two deep breaths, forcing a smile toward Yan Shisan and the other.

"I'll hand it over!"

"Please, show mercy!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Jiang Duanping's eyes widened in shock.

Staring at his big brother in disbelief—for the first time, he felt he was strange to him.

"Big brother...."

"Shut up!"

Giving him no chance to speak.

Jiang Renting cut him off with a sharp rebuke.

Then.

Reached into his robe and pulled out a silk cloth, forcing a smile.

"This is the Forgetful Heaven Scripture you requested—please inspect it."

Though he spoke these words.

His heart was bleeding inside.

After all.

This was the very foundation of his and his brother's survival!

But if a conflict truly broke out.

The outcome could be far worse!

Yes, one could certainly choose to die as a jade shard rather than survive as a clay tile!

But what of his tens of thousands of men?

Would he let them also die pointlessly because of his stubbornness?!

Clearly.

At this point.

He had no choice left!

Or rather.

Long before they arrived, the outcome had already been sealed!.

Ying Zheng guessed: the Heavenly Dao Golden List has stirred!

Jiang Duanping stared at the scene, his face ashen.

His fists clenched tightly.

He didn't even notice his nails sinking into his flesh.

He wanted to shout out a sharp accusation.

But restrained by his elder brother's earlier outburst, he opened his mouth, yet ultimately said nothing.

"No need to look—dare you fools dare play tricks?!"

He sheathed the Bone Poison Sword.

Yan Shisan raised his right hand, closing his fist.

Instantly.

The silk scroll recording the Forgetful Passion Heavenly Book flew toward him.

He didn't even glance at its contents.

Yan Shisan casually shoved it into his bosom.

He sneered, dropped a final remark, and walked away side by side with Ye Gucheng.

They watched their figures vanish from sight.

Jiang Renting swayed twice, then sat heavily on the ground with no dignity left.

His once bright eyes dimmed considerably.

"Elder brother!"

Seeing this, Jiang Duanping cried out in alarm.

He quickly reached out to help him up.

His tiger-like eyes filled with grief and fury.

It was at this moment he realized.

His elder brother bore just as much suffering as he did!

He simply never showed it.

He saw the guilt on his younger brother's face.

Jiang Renting forced a faint smile, patted his arm, and whispered words of comfort.

"It's nothing—let's go home."

Great Ming, Forbidden City.
