Chapter 289

A stretch of silence.

Even though the two women had already done some mental preparation.

The moment they heard this information, they couldn't help but tremble.

A trace of sorrow surfaced in their pupils.

Their complexion also paled considerably at this moment.

Small hands tightly gripping the hem of their clothes.

Unable to speak for a long time.

At this point.

Zhong Ling, who had originally been the one being comforted.

Immediately turned around and began comforting Li Qinglu and the others instead.

On the other side.

Perhaps out of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Or perhaps out of heartache for A'Zi.

Many martial artists across the Nine Provinces spontaneously organized teams to punish Duan Zhengchun.

Among them were quite a few somewhat renowned experts.

Making these teams look, at first glance, like the real deal.

And just at this moment.

A declaration suddenly spread throughout the jianghu of the Nine Provinces.

It turned out that the two Palace Masters of the Yihua Palace had also issued a kill order on Duan Zhengchun!

Although without the incident of Jiang Feng, the Yihua Palace did not have the creed of killing every heartless man under heaven.

A'Zi, who had inherited the Bright Jade Art, was already regarded by them as one of their own in the Yihua Palace.

Then.

Duan Zhengchun, this scumbag who had caused their own disciple to suffer so much.

Naturally, became their target!

Of course.

The reason they dared to be so overbearing and domineering.

Was mainly because they had the colossal Qinglong Society backing them.

Otherwise.

No matter how small Dali Kingdom was, it was still a nation.

How could a top-tier Men Sect simply disregard it like that!

But no matter how you looked at it.

Duan Zhengchun had indeed become famous across the Nine Provinces continent this time.

For a moment.

Countless people gloated and watched the show.

Yunzhou, the headquarters of the Tianxia Society.

Xiong Ba, who had barely recovered part of his injuries.

Sat upright in a reclining chair, listening to Qin Shuang report on the information from these past days.

His face was so dark it could drip water.

He hadn't expected.

That with Feng's betrayal, coupled with his own absence while recuperating.

The Tianxia Society's power had actually declined by twenty percent!

Among them, quite a few members had chosen to flee out of panic.

Besides that.

Even the members who hadn't fled yet.

Were all in a state of panic as well.

If it weren't for his eldest disciple Qin Shuang holding things together.

Who knows how many more of his subordinates would have run off!!

This made him feel angry, and at the same time, his old face couldn't save face.

Fortunately, he had come back early.

If he had delayed a few more days.

Wouldn't he have become a bare-bones commander?!

He took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the fury in his heart.

Not a trace of expression could be seen on Xiong Ba's face.

"Shuang'er, you've done well, you haven't disappointed Master."

"This incident can also be considered a wake-up call for your Master."

"When developing a faction, the loyalty of the subordinates cannot be neglected either!"

"As for the matter of people from other provinces coming to Yunzhou, there's no need to bother with it for now."

"As long as they don't provoke our Tianxia Society, let them do as they please."

Although he was also very envious of strong ones like the Third Pig Emperor and the Second and First Sword Emperor.

But he knew his own situation best.

With his current conditions, he simply didn't have the capital to recruit them.

As for forcing them with martial prowess.

If Purple-Clothed Boss hadn't been injured, there might still be some possibility.

As things stand now, better forget it.

He could only say he had the will but not the strength.

"Yes, this disciple obeys!"

Qin Shuang responded with a face full of reverence.

168-This jianghu, beauty, is always the biggest trouble! (asking for subscriptions)

Great Song, Star Sea.

"A Heaven-grade technique was actually rewarded—Little Ah Zi really has excellent fortune."

Watching the Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers Ranking's strange phenomenon gradually fade into the void.

Ding Chunqiu smacked his lips and muttered to himself.

The joy on his face was almost impossible to hide.

He took two deep breaths.

And calmed his mood down.

Ding Chunqiu straightened his expression and called out in a deep voice.

"Someone come, summon Ah Zi here."

Although the Bright Jade Art's function was far inferior to the North Sea Divine Art.

But no matter how you put it, it was still a Heaven-grade martial art after all.

If he could get it for free, naturally he wouldn't refuse.

In other words.

With such a good thing right before his eyes.

Tell me, which jianghu person would be willing to refuse?!

"Reporting to Master, Junior Sister... Junior Sister is gone."

Star-Picker hesitated a moment, replying in a tone lacking confidence.

That timid, trembling appearance.

Afraid of being taken out on by his own moody Master.
