Meanwhile, at Jun Mountain Terrace…

Wu Province and Ze Province bordered each other. Rising Sun City was less than 400 kilometers southeast of Ze Province, where Jun Mountain Terrace was located.

At noon, the Cloud Dream Swamp was shrouded in fog. Thirty-six islands were hidden among blue waves, connected by corridors, terraces, and pavilions. Among them, ships and pleasure boats floated with the waves, gathering countless sabermen who had come from all over the world to make a pilgrimage or become famous.

Recently, the Prince of Wu’s rebellion had caused a huge commotion, but there were very few Jianghu people around Jun Mountain Terrace, and most of them were talking about another matter. Qiu Tianhe had come out.

Qiu Tianhe was one of the ‘Three Heroes of Cloud Lake’ 30 years ago. Although he had been through many ups and downs in the past few decades, he was still in Jianghu and was honorable and righteous. To this day, he was already one of the most qualified candidates for the next Saber Chief in the hearts of the people of Jianghu.

On the day Qiu Tianhe came out, he shouted at the Dragon Roar Pavilion, “Old Man Xuanyuan, you didn’t expect that…”

After the news spread in Jianghu, countless sabermen rushed to Jun Mountain Terrace one after another, wanting to see if Qiu Tianhe’s first stop after coming out was to cause trouble for Old Man Xuanyuan.

Compared to the Jianghu people, who were watching the excitement, the Xuanyuan family’s reaction was rather calm. After all, Qiu Tianhe would only come for a duel. Whether he won or lost, he couldn’t shake the foundation of Jun Mountain Terrace.

Qiu Tianhe stood up for his friend and killed his way into the emperor’s wedding team single-handedly. From then on, he became a rebel and wandered aimlessly for decades.

Xuanyuan Tiangang was dissatisfied with his family’s actions, so he abandoned his saber and left Jianghu to become a rural fisherman and never appeared again.

Had these three people grown up smoothly, not only would Yao Wenzhong not become the successor of Jun Mountain Terrace, but it would have even been a problem for him to become a direct disciple of Xuanyuan Chao.

Now that the successor of the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade had appeared with such torrential momentum, Yao Wenzhong understood what he would face next.

Hearing Xuanyuan Hongzhi cursing, Yao Wenzhong advised, “Last time, they didn’t find out the details. This time, it might be an exaggeration because of the urgency. Ye Jingtang has only appeared for a few months and is about twenty years old. I believe that his martial arts skills are astonishing, but it’s impossible for him to wield military power. At most, he will be a leader of the Black Office and bring a hundred people…”

Xuanyuan Hongzhi said, “To be able to frighten Bai Siming into revealing his identity and sending news, he must have already appeared in front of Bai Siming. Once Ye Jingtang captures the Prince of Wu, his merits will be enough to promote him to a noble. If we don’t think of a way to get rid of the trouble now and give him another two years, do you think he will be like Zheng Feng and come to Jun Mountain Terrace alone to speak with a saber? As long as he attains power in the court, he will first kill the marquis, then send troops to raid the house, and then execute the entire family. On the day I go to the execution ground, it might be the first time I see him…”

Yao Wenzhong knew that this wasn’t a lie and deliberated for a moment. “If we kill a chief constable of the Black Office at the critical moment of the Prince of Wu’s rebellion, if word gets out, we will definitely be accused of colluding with the Prince of Wu… I will deal with this person personally…”

Xuanyuan Hongzhi stopped in his tracks and said in a deep voice, “Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Bai Siming said that this child isn’t far from the level of the Eight Chiefs. You might not be able to suppress him. At this moment, it’s time for my father to go personally. It’s best to call Zhou Chiyang over and let him take revenge for the murder of his brother…”

Yao Wenzhong shook his head. “It’s impossible for Zhou Chiyang to wade into such muddy waters. Master is the face of our Jun Mountain Terrace. We’re going to kill an official. If something happens, Master can still expel me from the sect like Old Master Zhou did and explain to the Imperial Court that it was my own decision. If Master goes personally and accidentally reveals his identity, Jun Mountain Terrace will have no room to maneuver. It’s better if I handle this matter.”

Xuanyuan Hongzhi clenched his hands behind his back and turned around. “I’ll go with you. I don’t believe that Ye Jingtang is really comparable to the Eight Chiefs in his twenties…”

Yao Wenzhong wasn’t sure how powerful Ye Jingtang was, so he didn’t say much about it and left the tall building with Xuanyuan Hongzhi…
