Divine Sabre Manor's Song Gongming's idea was very simple.

He wasn't here to reason.

Reason wouldn't work anyway, so he simply wouldn't bother, directly taking action to suppress and kill Li Yun, settling the score for revenge.

However—

How could things be that simple?

The moment his incredibly powerful Dharma Manifestation Realm aura erupted, an even more powerful aura erupted from behind Li Yun.

It was none other than Wu Qiuse.

He suddenly stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Li Yun.

The powerful Dao Seed Realm pressure, focused and pressing down towards Song Gongming, instantly crushed Song Gongming's aura into nothingness.

"You're Wantu Kingdom's Divine Sabre Manor Master Song Gongming, right? I've heard of you; you're quite a figure in Wantu Kingdom."

"But this isn't Wantu Kingdom, nor is it Divine Sabre Manor, but rather under the jurisdiction of my Sky-Splitting Dynasty's Nine Sun City."

"For someone from Wantu Kingdom to come to my Nine Sun City's jurisdiction and show off your might, aren't you showing too little respect for me, Wu Qiuse?"

"Nine Sun City Lord, Wu Qiuse?"

Song Gongming's face instantly paled with fright, and he felt a chilling sensation pierce through him.

When he was in Flying Sky City, the experts there said that Jinhe City was under Nine Sun City's jurisdiction and might well attract Wu Qiuse's intervention.

At the time, he thought to himself that the possibility wasn't high.

After all, Li Yun was just a nobody who had fled from Mystic Moon Kingdom; how could he coincidentally be connected to the Nine Sun City Lord Wu Qiuse?

Nine Sun City Lord Wu Qiuse was a Dao Seed Realm expert; how could such a prominent figure so easily stand up for a Li Yun?

It was just that, in order to win over the Flying Sky City experts and proceed with his next plan, making it convenient for him to further his interests, he had agreed to come along with the Flying Sky City experts.

He hadn't expected that things in this world could be so bizarre.

What you feared most came true.

Not only was Nine Sun City Lord Wu Qiuse truly connected to Li Yun, but he was also staying at Li Yun's residence, came out with him, and immediately stood up for Li Yun.

Damn it, wasn't this just too unlucky?

Meanwhile, all around.

Everyone was filled with shock.

The Jinhe City Martial Artists watching the spectacle all looked towards Wu Qiuse.

"Unbelievable... That's actually the Nine Sun City Lord?"

"He's actually here, and he even stood up for Li Yun?"

"Doesn't this mean their relationship is very close..."

Many people also cast their gazes towards the Ding family, their expressions showing a hint of schadenfreude.

What a turn of events.

That Ding Bosheng clearly also had this connection. The Ding family could have originally used this connection to link up with the Nine Sun City Lord. Wouldn't the Ding family then soar to the heavens under Nine Sun City's jurisdiction?

But as a result, this excellent opportunity was actually actively cut off by the people of the Ding family.

This... it's simply beyond belief, nobody else could do this.

Ding family Patriarch Ding Shan's face also changed color repeatedly.

He didn't know what to say.

If he had known earlier that one of the people who walked out of Ding Bosheng's residence was the Nine Sun City Lord, he would never have allowed Ding Hefang to cut ties with Ding Bosheng, no matter what he said; he would have held onto Ding Hefang even if it killed him.

But now...

Ding Shan's intestines were almost turning green with regret.

And at this moment.

From the shattered shop, Ding Hefang limped out.

Just as he heard Wu Qiuse's voice, he was instantly struck as if by lightning, stunned and frozen. He gasped for air rapidly, but couldn't catch his breath and fell backward directly.

This wasn't just the most awkward moment of his life.

The feeling of personally pushing away an opportunity to connect with the Nine Sun City Lord made him feel such heartache that he couldn't breathe.

He could even foresee it.

After this matter concluded, he would definitely be cursed like a dog by the people of the Ding family.

He truly was caught between a rock and a hard place.

It was just that, at a time like this, who would still pay attention to him?

...

Divine Sabre Manor's Song Gongming was already burning with anxiety and quickly turned his gaze towards Qin Jue.

He was truly fortunate.

A Dao Seed Realm expert, Qin Jue, had also come from Flying Sky City; otherwise, facing Wu Qiuse, he wouldn't dare say a word and could only leave dejectedly.

And what about Qin Jue?

In fact, he had seen Wu Qiuse long ago.

It was just that he didn't say anything immediately. The reason was simple: if Song Gongming didn't hit a wall, how could his Qin Jue's ability be demonstrated?

Seeing Song Gongming's pleading gaze sweep over, Qin Jue knew it was his time to appear.

He chuckled.

He flew out.

"Brother Wu, it's been a long time. Do you still remember this old man?"

"Oh... You are... Flying Sky City's Qin Jue, Brother Qin?"

Wu Qiuse looked over upon hearing this, carefully sized up Qin Jue, and his eyelids immediately twitched.

Well now.

Wantu Kingdom's Divine Sabre Manor was one thing, just a minor issue.

But how did the people from Flying Sky City also get involved in this?

This was a bit troublesome now.

To be fair, the words "Flying Sky City" still brought considerable pressure to Wu Qiuse.

Both were Dao Seed Realm experts, but the people from Flying Sky City were definitely more intimidating than those from Nine Sun City. Setting aside other things, their foundation was stronger.

With Qin Jue's standing in Flying Sky City, it would definitely be an easy matter to make a call and summon two or three fellow Dao Seed Realm experts to help.

Where could Nine Sun City find them?

In the entire Nine Sun City, besides himself, there was only one other Dao Seed Realm expert, and he was his sworn enemy. It would be good enough if he didn't kick him while he was down; it was absolutely impossible for him to help.

However, Wu Qiuse wasn't new to the world.

Although he was apprehensive inwardly, he maintained a calm expression on his face, merely secretly and quickly transmitting a message to Ding Bosheng, informing him of Qin Jue's identity so that Ding Bosheng could be prepared.

If a fight broke out.

It was likely that Ding Bosheng would have to take action himself, and then they would have to flee if necessary. The wasps of Flying Sky City weren't something just anyone could provoke.

"Indeed, it is I."

Qin Jue smiled somewhat complacently, "Brother Wu, Divine Sabre Manor's Song Gongming is my friend. His son's Battle Soul was shattered, and as a father, it is understandable for him to come seeking revenge. I wonder if Brother Wu could do me a favor and not interfere in this matter?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Qiuse's expression immediately became somewhat awkward.

He really didn't expect Qin Jue to be so direct.

In this situation, asking him not to interfere, how was he supposed to answer?

Just because of a single sentence from Qin Jue, he should not interfere? Didn't he care about his own face?

Moreover, this was originally a golden opportunity he had been hoping for to further improve his relationship with Li Yun.

It was just that, deep down, he truly didn't want to fall out with Flying Sky City.

Therefore.

He merely chuckled, neither agreeing nor refusing, only saying in a joking tone, "Brother Qin, the Divine Sabre Manor Master is your friend, but Brother Ding and Li Yun are also my friends..."

"Look, since we are all friends, is there a possibility that if there's any misunderstanding, we could all sit down and talk it over properly? If possible, how about we each take a step back?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jue's brows immediately furrowed.

He felt that this Wu Qiuse seemed to be disrespecting him?
