you, as a person of the Great Ming, are provoking the Great Ming's majesty without cause; I fear that is somewhat inappropriate, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>two flashes of brilliance passed through his cloudy old eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and his aura was faintly ready to be unleashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the air felt somewhat heavy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the atmosphere became tense and ready for battle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the onlookers immediately tightened their spirits,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>watching them closely,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>expecting them to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked as if they were about to bring out melon seeds and small stools!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you are going to stand up for the Great Ming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Gucheng sneered coldly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his tone somewhat menacing as he continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you afraid that instead of succeeding, you will lose your own life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wouldn't it be better to honestly seal yourself away and avoid the world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter is not something you can get involved in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the other party's strength was unfathomable,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Gucheng felt no fear at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, there was even a trace of mockery in his eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as if he didn't take him seriously at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope your strength is as sharp as your mouth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Wei Qingqingqing was not angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and his terrifying aura at the early stage of Heaven-Human erupted suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That powerful force bore down directly on Ye Gucheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he secretly used his own Heaven-Human realm cultivation\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to borrow the power of heaven and earth and seal this space!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't give him any chance to escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to suppress him in one blow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Gucheng's expression remained unchanged,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>standing quietly on the spot,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as if he had been scared silly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, Ximen Chuixue and Lu Xiaofeng,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>feeling the suffocating and terrifying pressure,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had their expressions change drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to strike back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but unfortunately, the gap was too large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone striking back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even moving was extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the onlookers\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were not affected in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing the three of them unable to fight back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their hearts were all lifted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and even their breathing stopped subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes were wide open, not blinking at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also at this moment\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that another change occurred!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the void,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a heroic voice, carrying a sense of unrestrained freedom, suddenly reached the ears of everyone present:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Drinking hundreds of cups of fine wine, dancing with a long sword pointing at the void.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My feet tread on the stars, and with a long whistle, the world turns red.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha... such a lively scene, how could I, Li, be missing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What other master is this??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instantly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the onlookers in the arena were energized,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>casting curious gazes toward the source of the sound,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>filled with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This duel was truly full of twists and turns!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I like it!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were full of anticipation, wondering if the following developments would become more and more exciting,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the figure of the newcomer landed gracefully in front of Ye Gucheng and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the moonlight,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>everyone finally saw the newcomer clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a white robe swaying in the wind,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a long sword hanging on his back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and a wine gourd in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In every move, he exuded an invisible, elegant, and transcendent temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked like an immortal, like a transcendent being in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green Dragon Society's Fifth Dragon Head, Li Taibai?!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just an instant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>everyone's pupils shrank,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and this name appeared in their minds in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the atmosphere, which had been full of murderous intent and tension,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>suddenly became quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few breaths,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it became noisy again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the vast majority of martial artists had expressions full of excitement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The look in their eyes toward Li Taibai was flashing with thick excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking like that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they were definitely die-hard fans!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"September 20th, greetings to the Fifth Dragon Head! Thank you, Fifth Dragon Head, for your help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the invisible pressure around him dissipate,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Gucheng thanked him respectfully. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As his voice rang out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the atmosphere in the arena tightened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the onlookers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but even Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue, Wei Qingqingqing, and Zhuge Zhengwo were stunned on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at Li Taibai and Ye Gucheng with surprise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their eyes wide open, filled with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They really hadn't expected\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that the famous City Lord of White Cloud, Ye Gucheng, the Sword Saint of the Great Ming Jianghu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>would actually be a member of the Green Dragon Society?!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This news truly shocked them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in an instant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they felt a sense of realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Ye Gucheng had been so confident just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out he was backed by the behemoth that is the Green Dragon Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it finally made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need for formalities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enjoying the star-like attention,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Taibai waved his hand with a beautiful feeling in his heart,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then turned his head,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his smile vanishing instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With narrowed eyes, he looked at Wei Qingqingqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to say, your courage is truly great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daring to touch a member of my Green Dragon Society, you are the first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was very light,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>not even revealing any joy or sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wei Qingqingqing, who was being stared at, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ominous premonition slowly spread in the bottom of his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great terror!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter is a misunderstanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I ask the Fifth Dragon Head to calm your anger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhuge Zhengwo stood out hurriedly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>speaking in a neither humble nor pushy manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in his pupils, a trace of undetectable fear flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although backed by the Great Ming, he didn't fear Li Taibai much,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but the Green Dragon Society was simply too vast and too terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the Great Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was his cultivation unfathomable, but his actions were also unscrupulous and without any restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not necessary,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he really didn't want to get involved with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once these words were spoken,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the onlookers were slightly stunned,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their mouths wide open, full of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, there was also thick disbelief!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Shenhou actually backed down?!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even if they were beaten to death, they wouldn't believe it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the shock,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they had a new understanding of the terror of the Green Dragon Society!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly worthy of being hailed as the existence of the Ninth Great Dynasty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simply terrifying!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If a misunderstanding could solve everything, then what are the government offices for?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you dared to strike at a member of my Green Dragon Society, you must be prepared to die at any time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Taibai snorted coldly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>not intending to stop while he was ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between his words, murderous intent was surging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Dragon Society cannot be insulted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone striking at a member of the Green Dragon Society!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the other party didn't know!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, since they had struck, they were guilty!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was how overbearing they were!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was how unreasonable they were!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the overbearing and strong nature in Li Taibai's words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the onlookers couldn't help but gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their spirits were greatly shaken!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only them,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but even Ximen Chuixue and Lu Xiaofeng\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were fiercely shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at Ye Gucheng, whose expression remained unchanged,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they secretly clicked their tongues in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifth Dragon Head, don't forget, this is the Great Ming!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of anger appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Zhengwo took a deep breath,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>threatening with a somewhat gloomy look in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear was fear,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but since Li Taibai wouldn't give any face at all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in front of so many martial artists of the Nine Continents,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he naturally wouldn't let the Great Ming's majesty fall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>once it spread to the Nine Continents,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>wouldn't the Great Ming Dynasty lose all its face?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't bear such responsibility!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this was the capital of the Great Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their own Protector was not there to be a
