When people were dying, their hearts were filled with fear, however, at this moment, the Dragon King’s heart was calm, without the slightest bit of fear.
He closed his eyes and quickly reviewed his life in his head.
At the age of eighteen, he mixed with the world, cultivated martial arts, climbed up the ladder, and finally became an expert ranked twelve on the Tiger Ranking, and became the king of the underground world of Jiangzhou.
This life was enough to be described with the word brilliant.
What made the Dragon King most proud was that although he was the boss of the underground forces in Jiangzhou, he had never killed an innocent person indiscriminately, much less killed a single person wrongly.
Above, he can afford the sky, and below, he can afford his brothers.
In this life, I have a clear conscience.
No regrets in death!
At this time, the sharpness of the dagger was already against his throat, and the Dragon King could feel that as long as the dagger was sent an inch further, he would officially leave this world.
Die, life is all about death.
“Stop!”
Suddenly, a loud cry rang out, followed by a strong wind breaking through the air, and a “ding” sound came from his ears.
The Dragon King snapped his eyes open, only to see the dagger in the youth’s hand being knocked away, he was busy twisting his head to look at the doorway, and then his face changed drastically.
“Ye Qiu, what are you doing here? Get out of here.”
The Dragon King drank, he was already about to die, he didn’t want to involve Ye Qiu before he died.
“I’m here to save you.”Ye Qiu swept a glance and saw that the Dragon King was unharmed, his eyes then fell on Cao Yuan, who was dressed in green, and asked, “You are the Nine Thousand Years Old?”
“Exactly.”Cao Yuan laughed, “Truly life is not like this, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon.”
The Dragon King looked at Ye Qiu in shock, “You and the Nine Thousand Years old have met?”
“We met once in the hospital in the morning, it’s just that at that time, I didn’t know that he was the Nine Thousand Years.”Ye Qiu then said to Cao Yuan, “Can you spare the Dragon King’s life?”
“Why did you save him?”Cao Yuan asked rhetorically.
“Because the Dragon King owes me a great favour.”
“By great favour, do you mean that last night in the Crystal Palace, he stood up for you? Or do you mean, Zhao Yun helped you bury Guo Shaocong alive?”
Boom!
Ye Qiu’s heart shook wildly.
It wasn’t hard to find out what happened in the Crystal Palace last night, but how did the Nine Thousand Years know about this matter of Guo Shao Cong?
There was no one else present that day except for him and Zhao Yun, as well as a few of Zhao Yun’s men, and Ye Qiu believed that Zhao Yun and the others would definitely not divulge it, so where did the Nine Thousand Years find out about it?
For a moment, cold sweat broke out on Ye Qiu’s back.
“I guess you must be thinking in your heart, how did I know, right?”Cao Yuan laughed, “There is nothing in this world that I can’t find out as long as I want to.”
Ye Qiu steadied his mind and asked straight to the point, “What would it take for you to let the Dragon King go?”
Cao Yuan shook his head and said, “The Dragon King will die.”
“Why?”
“Last night, Xiao Qingdi sent a message on my behalf, but the Dragon King collaborated with you and Lin Exquisite to injure him and kill his slaves, his crime is one. When I first arrived in Jiangzhou, I was assassinated and several of my men died, so it shows how chaotic Jiangzhou is. The Dragon King, as the boss of the underground forces in Jiangzhou, managed Jiangzhou like this, his crime is also two. Therefore, it must be killed.”
Ye Qiu was a bit angry in his heart and said, “Neither of these two things should be blamed on the Dragon King’s head.”
“Oh?”Cao Yuan was a bit curious, “Tell me about it.”
Ye Qiu said, “Xiao Qing Di is arrogant and domineering and does whatever he wants, yet you let such a person deliver a message for you, I think it’s because you don’t know the right people and you’re not using the right people.”
“At the banquet, it was Xiao Qingdi who was the first to be murderous and made the first move to kill us, this is clear to everyone who attended the banquet, while we were only passively defending. Killing his slaves and breaking his legs was nothing more than legitimate defence.”
“Secondly, you came to Jiangzhou without the Dragon King’s knowledge, and you didn’t ask the Dragon King to send anyone to protect you, the assassination was entirely your own personal matter, how can you blame it on the Dragon King?”
“As you are the Dragon Sect’s Sect Leader, there are many people in the world who want to kill you, this is something you yourself should know best. If you had taken tight precautions last night, then how could the people who wanted to kill you have an opportunity to take advantage of it?”
“As for those few men you died, they died to protect you, if it wasn’t because of you, then they wouldn’t have died, to put it mildly, it was you who caused them to die ……”
“How dare you!”Without waiting for Ye Qiu to finish his sentence, a youth snapped.
Ye Qiu swept a glance and found that the youth who chastised him was the same guy who held the dagger earlier, and immediately scolded, “I’m talking to your master, and you, a dog, dare to interrupt?”
“You–”
“You what you! Being a dog should have the consciousness of being a dog!”
“Seek death!”The youth was furious and slammed his fist at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu stood still and didn’t move, only waiting for the youth’s fist to be only half a metre away from him before he blasted out a punch.
“Bang!”
The two fists clashed together with a muffled sound, and after that, Ye Qiu and the youth simultaneously took five steps backward.
“Huh?”
Both of them let out a shocked eep at the same time, both of them a bit surprised by the other’s strength.
“No wonder you’re so arrogant, so you know some three-legged kung fu, come again!”
Boom!
The youth slammed another fist over.
Ye Qiu raised his fist to meet it.
“Bang!”
The second fist collided.
This time, there was no muffled sound like the first punch, the two men’s bodies were almost motionless, their fists only slightly touched and immediately separated before each of them took another three steps back.
“You attacked me with two punches, next, it’s time for me to attack you.”
As Ye Qiu’s words fell, he swiftly rushed out, his body was like a bolt of lightning, appearing in front of that youth in an instant.
“Boom!”
The fists of the two men violently clashed together again.
Rubbing!
Rubbing!
Rubbing!
The young man’s body kept retreating, his leather shoes rubbing against the ground with a “ZiZi” sound, and he retreated a dozen or so steps before stabilising himself.
The youth looked at Ye Qiu in shock.
At the same time, the other two youths behind Cao Yuan stood out, also ready to strike.
Ye Qiu was blatantly unafraid and sneered, “So it turns out that the Dragon Sect’s style of action is to bully the few with the many, I’ve learned a lot today.”
“Stop!”Cao Yuan called out to the two youths, then exuded a thick pressure of superiority from his body as he stared at Ye Qiu.
In that instant, Ye Qiu’s body went cold and had a feeling like falling into an ice cellar.
Cao Yuan said in a deep voice, “If someone else spoke to me like you did, then they would already be a dead body by now, but remembering that you saved Han Long’s life, I won’t bother with you today.”
“You want to save the Dragon King, right? Fine, I can let him go, but you must promise me one condition.”
“What condition?”Ye Qiu asked urgently.
“Find the murderer who assassinated me last night.”
“Good!”Ye Qiu agreed without hesitation.
“Don’t agree so quickly first, I haven’t finished my words yet.”Cao Yuan continued, “I will only give you three days, if you find the murderer within three days, I will not bother with the Dragon King. If you can’t find the murderer, after three days, not only will I take the Dragon King’s head, I will also break one of your arms, do you still want to promise?”
“I promise!”
As long as he could save the Dragon King’s life, even if he broke one of Ye Qiu’s arms now, he would still promise.
“Very well, I hope you won’t let me down.”Cao Yuan finished speaking and left the Dragon King’s villa with the three youths.
