Chapter 97: This old thing Wu Xingyan……

I will consider this matter. As for whether I'll take action or not, we'll discuss it later.

Chu Tian did not immediately agree to the crowd's requests, nor did he explicitly refuse.

Upon hearing this, everyone could only temporarily set aside their demands.

After all, although they had submitted to Chu Tian, they had not performed any service for him. Now, suddenly requesting him to intervene, Chu Tian's refusal was only natural.

Moreover, although Chu Tian was a Martial Venerable, Jiangbei was not lacking in Martial Venerable experts either.

If the two sides truly clashed, who would live and who would perish was still uncertain!

Just as everyone fell silent,

“Jiulong, let's go.”

Chu Tian finished speaking and walked straight out of the private room, with Wang Jiulong naturally following right behind him.

“Gong Song Chu Mr.!”

Everyone then reacted, bowing in salute again, their tones extremely humble.

It was not until Chu Tian's back had disappeared from sight that everyone dared to straighten up.

“From today onward, the entire Jiangnan Province will probably have to obey Chu Mr.'s every command!”

Looking at this scene, Su Dingguo couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

At this moment, outside the suburbs of Tianmen City, in a certain stone chamber.

It was already May now, and summer temperatures could reach up to forty degrees, yet the stone chamber held not the slightest trace of heat, instead revealing a profound chill.

Tang Rixin let out a soft breath, his breath slightly steaming, reflecting the cold intent emanating from his body.

Just then, a loud boom echoed from the inner part of the stone chamber, and a stone door was pushed open.

Immediately after, a young man walked out from the secret room.

“SiTu Young Master!”

Tang Rixin bowed and saluted, his tone very humble.

“What about the results of the matters I instructed you to handle?”

SiTu Deng's expression darkened, his tone carrying a hint of questioning.

“SiTu Young Master, please... please forgive me. Because Chu Tian appeared in time, I didn't have the chance to kill Han Bao.”

Tang Rixin quickly lowered his head, appearing extremely guilty and fearful.

From the conversation between the two, it was obvious what had happened: the assassination attempts against Chu Tian's people had been entirely arranged by SiTu Deng.

“Useless!”

“I've already spread the news of the Jade Hanzi Ring in advance, and even informed you of Han Bao's route to Taiji Mountain. How could you still let him live? You're too unqualified as an assassin!”

SiTu Deng's tone subtly suppressed his anger.

“SiTu Young Master, this is all my responsibility. Please give me another chance.”

Tang Rixin's face was full of panic, cold sweat already oozing from his forehead.

SiTu Deng remained silent for a moment, still staring at Tang Rixin.

“Follow me in.”

SiTu Deng suddenly waved his hand, turning to lead the way.

Hearing this, Tang Rixin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly followed behind SiTu Deng, heading together to the secret room.

“My master is in cultivation; don't disturb him.”

SiTu Deng lowered his voice, warning secretly.

“Yes.”

Tang Rixin also lowered his voice, immediately slowing his steps to avoid making too much noise.

The two of them walked into the secret room, which was empty, with only a vacant cold jade bed placed there.

Tang Rixin was somewhat surprised but didn't dare ask.

“How are things with Jiangbei going? Have you contacted them?”

SiTu Deng spoke slowly, his gaze falling on the cold jade bed.

“SiTu Young Master, I've secretly contacted the major families in Jiangbei according to your instructions. The North-South Struggle this time will definitely not have any accidents, and the position of Alliance Leader will definitely belong to the SiTu family.”

Tang Rixin immediately spoke up, although he couldn't successfully assassinate Han Bao, he hadn't failed in contacting the families.

“This North-South Struggle is such a grand spectacle; maybe Chu Tian will participate too. What do you think?”

SiTu Deng muttered to himself, as if asking Tang Rixin, or perhaps just pondering.

“SiTu Young Master, this... I really can't guess that.”

Tang Rixin didn't dare make any assumptions.

“Hmph, whether Chu Tian participates in this North-South Struggle or not, after the Long Family falls, Chu Tian won't be able to survive either.”

SiTu Deng sneered coldly, his tone seeming quite confident.

“SiTu Young Master, you... you still want to overthrow the Jinling Long Family?”

Tang Rixin's pupils contracted sharply, sucking in a cold breath.

“What? Are you afraid?”

SiTu Deng suddenly turned around, staring directly at Tang Rixin's face.

Tang Rixin was about to deny but suddenly fell silent.

The Jinling Long Family was the foremost martial arts family in Jiangnan, different from the SiTu family.

SiTu Wudi of the SiTu family had only been close to the Martial Saint realm, not yet there.

But the Jinling Long Family was different; they were a strong family with confirmed Martial Saints.

This point was very clear to SiTu Wuhen.

Otherwise, the Long Family wouldn't have called to scare SiTu Wuhen into changing his mind and not immediately seeking revenge from Chu Tian.

Now, SiTu Deng wanted to destroy the Jinling Long Family; was he insane?

But Tang Rixin didn't dare question SiTu Deng.

Tang Rixin knew that SiTu Deng was not blindly arrogant; since he dared to make such assertions, there must be some backing behind him.

Sure enough, SiTu Deng didn't hide and quickly revealed his own thoughts.

“I can't deal with the Long Family, but that doesn't mean my master can't deal with the Long Family!”

SiTu Deng sneered, taking another step forward, his gaze once again looking at the cold jade bed, seeming to have some deeper meaning.

“SiTu Young Master, may I ask if you can disclose who your master is?”

Tang Rixin carefully phrased his words, adding a probing tone.

“Hmph, my master is right in front of you. Can't you see?”

SiTu Deng sneered coldly, raising his finger to point at the cold jade bed.

But there was no one on the cold jade bed, not even a single figure visible.

Tang Rixin felt puzzled, not understanding what SiTu Deng meant.

Just then, ripples appeared on the cold jade bed, as if something was about to shatter.

The next second, the barrier blocking the view dissolved, and a man and a woman appeared on the cold jade bed.

The man was a vigorous old man, and the woman was a young and beautiful girl; their ages appeared mismatched.

However, neither of them was wearing clothes, making the scene somewhat unsightly.

“This...”

Tang Rixin's expression froze for a moment, not reacting for a time.

But he didn't dare look further and quickly averted his gaze.

“Disciple greets Master!”

SiTu Deng had already stepped forward and bowed.

Tang Rixin then reacted and quickly followed behind SiTu Deng, bowing together towards the cold jade bed.

“Don’t disturb Master’s elegance!”

Wu Xingyan was completely naked, embracing the woman in his arms.

He was indeed SiTu Deng's master, which was why SiTu Deng knew about Chu Tian's theft of the Jade Hanzi Ring.

But Wu Xingyan paid no attention to the two of them; he flipped over again, pressing back onto the beauty.
