Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was eleven o’clock at night.
Dragon Bay Manor.
The hall was brightly lit.
Jiang Tianlong sat in the main seat with a dark expression.
There were three people sitting on either side of him, two men and a woman.
“Master Long, why did you call us over tonight?”
A middle-aged man with short hair and a tuft of white hair on his forehead asked Jiang Tianlong.
This middle-aged man was the president of the Southern Sky Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yaoqiang.
“That’s right, Master Long. It’s getting late. If you have something to say, say it.”
A fat middle-aged man with a bald head and a fierce face added.
This middle-aged man was the president of the Northern Rising Chamber of Commerce, Feng Haidong.
Jiang Tianlong said in a low voice, “I invited everyone here tonight to discuss how to deal with Yang Luo.
That kid is a thorn in my heart. If I don’t get rid of him, I won’t be at ease.”
Feng Haidong waved his hand and said, “Hey, what’s so difficult about that? Let’s each send a few capable men to take action. That kid will definitely die.”
“That’s right. No matter how good that kid is at fighting, he’s just one person.”
Xu Yaoqiang continued, “In any case, I don’t believe that that brat is a Grandmaster Realm expert.”
“If that kid is really so easy to get rid of, 1 wouldn’t have invited everyone here.”
Jiang Tianlong shook his head and said. Then, he looked at the young woman who had not spoken. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Sister Zhong, what do you think?”
The woman Jiang Tianlong called “Sister Zhong” was the president of the West Wind Chamber of Commerce, Zhong Lingyun.
Xu Yaoqiang and Feng Haidong also turned to look at Zhong Lingyun.
Usually, this woman was always noisy, but today, she was exceptionally quiet. This made them very puzzled.
Zhong Lingyun said, “I’ll do whatever Master Long arranges.”
“Hehe…”
Jiang Tianlong chuckled and said, “Looks like you’ve also been beaten into submission by that kid, Sister Zhong.”
Hearing this, Xu Yaoqiang and Feng Haidong were stunned.
“Master Long, what do you mean?”
Feng Haidong pursed his lips and asked.
Jiang Tianlong did not answer Feng Haidong. Instead, he stared intently at Zhong Lingyun and said, “Sister Zhong, I heard that you’ve also met that kid in the past two days. You seemed to want to rope him in, right?”
“All?!”
Feng Haidong was stunned, “Sister Zhong, you’ve met that kid too?”
Xu Yaoqiang frowned and said, “Sister Zhong, what you did was not right.
We agreed to deal with that kid together, but you met that kid and wanted to rope him in.
“If that kid finds out that we’re going to deal with him and increases his vigilance, our plan will probably be ruined.”
Seeing that Jiang Tianlong had put it out in the open, Zhong Lingyun readily admitted it.
“Master Long, you’re right. I’ve indeed met that kid.
I did want to rope that kid in, but that kid was unwilling.
After that, I fought that kid, but I was not his match at all. I was defeated in a single move.”
“What?! You can’t even withstand one move?!”
“Damn, is that kid really that powerful?!”
Xu Yaoqiang and Feng Haidong were dumbfounded, their eyes filled with shock.
Previously, when Jiang Tianlong said that he was not that kid’s match, they were still skeptical of it.
But now that Zhong Lingyun had said so, they had no choice but to believe her.
Zhong Lingyun nodded and said, “I’m sure that kid is definitely a Grandmaster Realm expert. None of us are his match.”
“Old Xu, Old Feng, you guys have never interacted with that kid before. Naturally, you don’t know how powerful that kid is. This is very normal.”
Jiang Tianlong said to Xu Yaoqiang and Feng Haidong, then looked at Zhong Lingyun and said, “Sister Zhong, that kid is arrogant and won’t submit to anyone. Give up.”
Zhong Lingyun nodded and said, “That’s why 1 agree with Master Long’s suggestion to get rid of that kid.”
Jiang Tianlong nodded and said, “That kid is very strong. He’s very likely a Grandmaster Realm expert.
If we want to get rid of him, we have to kill him in one strike and not give him any chance to catch his breath.
“Therefore, my suggestion is that our four organizations send out all our elites to kill that kid in one go.”
“Alright, let’s do that!”
“I agree with this suggestion!”
“I concur too!”
Xu Yaoqiang, Feng Haidong, and Zhong Lingyun nodded in agreement.
Jiang Tianlong said, “Of course, other than sending out elites, it’s probably not enough.
“Therefore, I even invited an expert on the Earth Ranking to help.”
“Earthly Ranking expert?!”
Hearing this, Xu Yaoqiang, Feng Haidong, and Zhong Lingyun were shocked.
Because they were all Martial Warriors, they knew that there were two Martial Arts Rankings in China, the Earth Ranking and the Heaven Ranking.
Those who could be ranked on these two lists were all powerhouses in the Chinese martial arts world.
There were 72 people on the Earth List and 36 on the Heaven List.
Just the experts on the Earth Ranking were ail Grandmaster Realm experts. Some of them who were ranked at the top of the Earth Ranking had even stepped into the Martial Highness Realm.
As for the Heaven Ranking, there was no need to mention it. The weakest was at the Martial Highness Realm.
“That’s right.”
Jiang Tianlong nodded and said, “This Earth Ranking expert happened to come to Jiang City to do something, so I invited him over!”
“Master Long, which Earth Ranking expert did you invite?”
Feng Haidong hurriedly asked.
“Sleeve Blade, Xia Zhiyuan!”
Jiang Tianlong replied and said loudly, “Elder Xia, please!”
His voice trailed off.
An old man about 1.7 meters tall walked in step by step. He was wearing a black cloth robe and had long silver-gray hair.
However, this old man gave off an ordinary feeling, causing Xu Yaoqiang and the other two to be skeptical.
Was this old man really the Earth Ranking expert, “Sleeve Blade” Xia Zhiyuan?
Soon, the old man walked into the hall.
He placed his hands behind his back and looked at Jiang Tianlong proudly. He said indifferently, “Jiang Tianlong, I’m only willing to help you this once on account of King Zhennan.
Otherwise, do you think you can hire me with just 50 million?”
“You’re right. With Elder Xia’s status, even if one had money, they would not be able to hire him.
This Junior Jiang here thanks you for giving me face.”
Jiang Tianlong cupped his hands as he bootlicked him.
Xia Zhiyuan nodded, very pleased.
Then, he said, “Jiang Tianlong, I alone am enough to kill that kid. You don’t have to attack, lest you become my burden.”
Hearing this, Xu Yaoqiang, Feng Haidong, and Zhong Lingyun were a little unhappy.
This old man was clearly looking down on them.
Zhong Lingyun picked up a cup of tea and asked, “Are you really the ‘Sleeve Blade’ Xia Zhiyuan, who is ranked 62nd on the Earth Ranking?”
“Of course.”
Xia Zhiyuan then glanced at Zhong Lingyun, “You don’t believe me?”
“How can that be? Since Master Long has already said so, how can I not believe you?”
Zhong Lingyun smiled, “Elder Xia is an honored guest. Please have some tea..”
