Chapter 272: with translation of chapter title

"Brother Li!"

"Old Li!"

Zhang family's great elder, with a solemn expression, withdrew his massage hand and spoke in a low voice,

As long as you have your brothers deal with the Chen, Li, or Wang families, I won't even furrow my brow.

But listen to my advice, younger brother: don't lay a hand on the Gu family!

Especially Gu Han and the people around him!

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Kaisan's face filled with doubt, even a hint of resentful anger,

What do you mean? Do you think I can't afford to provoke the Gu family?

In Li Kaisan's eyes, this was clearly the other side looking down on him!

But the Zhang family's great elder took a deep breath.

He originally wanted to tell Li Kaisan the full story, but remembering the City Lord's warning, he hastily swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

Older brother, hear my advice: the waters here are too deep, you can't grasp them.

If you stir up trouble for Gu Han, even if you are a Martial Sovereign, you won't come out well!

Given the City Lord's words beforehand, the Zhang family's great elder could only go this far.

Who would have thought, Li Kaisan not only failed to thank him for the reminder, but his expression suddenly changed in anger,

Zhang Chuan, I treat you as a brother, that's why I encountered such a good opportunity—I thought of you at the First Moment!

What do you mean, you don't appreciate the opportunity I brought to your door?

Li Kaisan slammed the table and rose abruptly,

Since you don't appreciate the opportunity I brought, don't blame me for disregarding brotherly ties!

There are plenty of people who want this opportunity!

Having said that, Li Kaisan flicked his sleeves and left immediately.

Zhang Chuan helplessly watched Li Kaisan's retreating back and sighed,

Old buddy, how can you not trust me?

Do you think that if I'm unwilling, others will be willing?

Out of consideration for his relationship with Li Kaisan, even if he were unwilling to accept the other's opportunity, he would definitely not betray Li Kaisan.

But if people from other families fall out with Li Kaisan, they might secretly tell the Gu family about this!

Gu Han and his brother have the achievement of having slain a Martial Sovereign!

Slaying and defeating are not the same concept!

Even if Li Kaisan is an elder of Heavy Sword Peak, he is still a Martial Sovereign.

But he is merely an outer-door elder; his strength may not even surpass He Qintian.

Since Gu Han and his brother together could slay He Qintian, they could also slay Li Kaisan!

As for whether it would provoke Heavy Sword Peak's retaliation, Zhang Chuan believes Heavy Sword Peak should be a pragmatic force.

The City Lord has already superstitiously transmitted the information about Gu Han and his brother to the capital.

Once the national ruler receives the news, he will surely reward City Lord Liao Lun and employ the Gu Han brothers for important use.

It is even highly possible to make an exception and directly enroll them into the Ben Lang Academy for cultivation.

Heavy Sword Peak may be considered a hegemon in Jiannan Prefecture; even the prefectural magistrate would give it some face.

But looking at the whole Ben Lang Guo, while it's still not bad, in front of the Ben Lang Academy it amounts to nothing.

I hope older brother, you can take my advice.

Zhang Chuan let out a long sigh,

Otherwise, what awaits you is likely an abyss!

Meanwhile, Li Kaisan arrived at the Li family manor, seething with anger.

Although he is not a member of the Li family of Han Shan Cheng.

But people sharing the same surname still have some connection.

Furthermore, given his connection to Heavy Sword Peak behind him, he doesn't believe the Li family would refuse his request!

Just like the Zhang family earlier.

When the Li family guards sensed Li Kaisan emitting a strong aura, they immediately respectfully ushered him inside.

Moreover, a guard immediately went to report to the family elders.

Soon, several elders heard the news and came together.

Upon sensing that Li Kaisan's aura resembled that of the family head, several elders' expressions slightly changed.

After several elders waved their hands to dismiss the guards, they clasped their fists in salute and said,

Senior, we don't know where you came from; what business do you have with our Li family?

Faced with a Martial Sovereign of unknown intent, they couldn't help but be cautious.

Li Kaisan had already restrained the anger he had shown at the Zhang family, and gave a faint smile,

I am an elder of Heavy Sword Peak; I have come, considering our clan ties, to present you with an opportunity.

Upon hearing this, all the Li family elders' hearts tightened.

It turns out to be an elder of Heavy Sword Peak; no wonder he possesses Martial Sovereign strength!

But the Li family and Heavy Sword Peak have had no dealings.

How could such a lofty Heavy Sword Peak elder bring an opportunity to the Li family?

As for the so-called clan ties, it's obviously just a pretense.

They are not so foolish as to be smug about this.

Therefore, the Li family elders were not overjoyed like Zhang Chuang; instead, they were doubtful and wary.

Li Kaishan naturally also noticed the change in the Li family elders' eyes, and said lightly,

"As long as you capture Gu Han in the upcoming sparring among the six great families and hand him over to me."

"Naturally, someone will provide you with the resources needed to reach Martial Sovereign."

Upon hearing about the resources to reach Martial Sovereign, several of them felt a stir in their hearts.

"This little matter, I'll take care of it..."

One of the burly Li family elders hadn't even finished speaking when the elder beside him grabbed him by the arm.

"Are you fucking crazy? Who gave you the guts to oppose the Gu family?"

The Li family elder who looked like a big roughneck furrowed his brows.

"It's just dealing with a Gu family junior; use a few tricks to quietly take him away— that's Martial Sovereign!"

"As long as we break through to Martial Sovereign, what are the Zhang and Wang families to us?"

"It's just a bit of risk; it's worth it!"

However, several other Li family elders were so angry they blew their beards and glared.

"If you want to go, first cut ties with my Li family yourself and write a statement of voluntary withdrawal!"

"He wants you to deal with Gu Han, not an ordinary Gu family junior!"

"You've lost your mind, don't drag my Li family down with you!"

Not to mention whether the juniors are a match for Gu Han.

Even if they secretly join forces, their chances of victory probably don't exceed fifty percent!

Although, as long as they can break through to Martial Sovereign, even a one percent chance is worth the risk for them.

But that's Gu Han!

The City Lord's primary target!

Are they tired of living, daring to move against Gu Han?

Upon hearing Gu Han's name, that burly Li family elder, whose voice had been rough, immediately went limp.

He only noticed the possibility of breaking through to Martial Sovereign.

He didn't even hear that he was supposed to deal with Gu Han.

He suddenly shivered, looked at the ill-intentioned Li Kaishan, and said in a low voice,

"Take this job and find whoever you want to do it; my Li family won't take it!"

In his view, Li Kaishan was simply trying to push his Li family into a pit of fire!

It would be strange if he were in a good mood!

The other Li family elders, while not as hostile, also gave Li Kaishan a perfunctory smile.

They all expressed their polite refusal to Li Kaishan.

Li Kaishan glanced at them with a grim face, then immediately flicked his sleeves and left in resentment.

At his stature, uttering such harsh words would only cause him to lose face.

If the Li family is unwilling, naturally someone else will be willing!
