Chapter 306

"Then let's make a bet; if Liu Xi doesn't die within three months, I'll cut off my own head!"

"Brother, there's really no need; what use would we have for your head? Now it just depends on whether Shaolin and Wudang dare to stand up."

……

The third private room in the East District.

A Fei asked curiously: "Big Brother, do you think Liu Xi will die this time?"

Li Xunhuan pondered: "Although this Liu Xi has offended almost half of the Jianghu, wanting to kill him is probably very difficult."

"But this Liu Xi is too detestable! If I had the strength, I would definitely draw my sword and kill him!"

A Fei said hatefully.

Li Xunhuan just smiled at this, a glimmer of light quietly fading from his eyes.

As a veteran of the Jianghu, he knew this matter was no small thing.

Liu Xi is, after all, the Superintendent of the Eastern Depot, and he stays at the Eastern Depot headquarters in the capital; those Eastern Depot agents are not just for show.

There is no telling how many Qi-breaking crossbows and Gang-breaking crossbows are inside the Eastern Depot specifically to deal with Jianghu people.

Even a Martial King-level expert cannot guarantee they can retreat unscathed.

How easy is it to kill Liu Xi?

However.

If it were him in his younger years, wouldn't he be unable to resist drawing his Little Li Flying Dagger right now?

Being young is truly good.

……

The second private room in the West District.

"No wonder Lord Shenhou praises Liu Xi's martial arts so highly; this person is indeed a ruthless character."

Shangguan Haitang said solemnly.

"It just depends on whether he can escape this calamity."

"If he succeeds in sacrificing the Five Yangs and Two Yins and masters the final layer of the 'Distant Qi Absorption Technique'."

"By then, his martial arts will advance further, and I fear his arrogance will only grow."

Duan Tianya said with some worry.

"Hmph!"

"Although this Liu Xi is ranked ninth on the Grandmaster List,"

"Wudang and Shaolin are full of experts; I think he will definitely die this time."

Shangguan Haitang asserted.

Although the Eastern Depot and the Dragon-Protecting Villa are both imperial agencies.

Both sides wish for the other's swift destruction.

Seeing Liu Xi in trouble now, the Dragon-Protecting Villa is already being merciful by not kicking him while he's down; naturally, it's impossible for them to help.

Unless the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao issues a decree himself, that would be another matter.

……

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen looked at the soaring popularity points, and the smile on his face deepened by three points.

When the discussions below gradually quieted down, he unfurled his folding fan again and spoke slowly:

"Next, I will comment on the eighth place on the Grandmaster List, Huo Xiu."

"This person is also full of legendary color; fifty years ago, he came out to roam the world with his bare hands, and his martial arts suppressed the Jianghu."

"He was once as famous as the Wudang Sect's top elder, Daoist Mu, the Shaolin Sect's Abbot, Zen Master Dabe, and the Emei Sect's previous master, Dugu Yihe."

"Later, however, he miraculously became the richest man in Guanxi and the number one jeweler in the Great Ming, with wealth not inferior to the Hua family."

"Because he lived in seclusion all year round, living the life of a hermit, he rarely appeared in Jianghu discussions, and no one knew his true face."

"In fact, this person's other identity is even more terrifying; he is the General Master of the 108 Green-Clad Towers."

"That Green-Clad Tower headquarters, the First Green-Clad Tower, is actually located beneath Huo Xiu's Pearl and Treasure Pavilion."
