Boom!

His furious strike burst forth. The terrifying attack arrived before Su Jingxing before the old man could even get close.

Seven consecutive law-like true energy imprints attacked Su Jingxing from different directions.

Everywhere they passed, the air was torn apart, leaving behind seven distinct marks.

Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!

The claw-like winds that were almost tangible enveloped Su Jingxing all around.

Up, down, left, right, front, back, sealing off all routes of retreat.

Instantly, Su Jingxing was completely surrounded.

However, he did not panic or feel afraid.

The old fellow’s attacks were indeed terrifying, but Su Jingxing wasn’t weak either!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Three punches in a row easily broke through the claw seals.

Pa!

He threw a palm strike from a distance, and a semi-transparent, silvery-black palm imprint slammed on the charging old man. It dissipated his crazed attacks and sent him reeling backward.

Controlling the Martial Art True Intent of the Sishui Horned Dragons, he seized the opportunity to chow down the white snake. It was as if a true dragon was devouring a huge snake. In less than half a minute, it had swallowed up the snake.

Pu!

The retreating old man spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as a sheet.

He wasn’t like the crazed Shi Zhinie who couldn’t feel anything.

Every shattering of a Martial Art True Intent dealt severe damage to one’s spirit, mind, and will.

It was impossible to immediately manifest it again.

Even without his Martial Art True Intent, the old man still had other ultimate moves and trump cards.

But since he wasn’t even a match Su Jingxing when he manifested his Martial Art True Intent, what more without the support of his Martial Art True Intent?

He had met his match.

The old man, whose head was throbbing and his heart aching, was finally enlightened.

If Feng Tiejian, this human medicine, dared to walk the streets openly, how could he not have a backer?

His momentary greed had led him to be put against such a powerful backer.

The old man was both shocked and enraged.

“You…”

“Stop!”

Right at that moment, a loud yell came from afar.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of rushing wind could be heard.

In the air, three figures dashed towards the entrance of the hotel through the air.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

They descended from the sky and stood between Su Jingxing and the old man.

“Friends, please calm down.”

The middle-aged man who spoke had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a resolute aura. He was dressed in an armed training suit, and even though he was standing still, he was very eye-catching.

“If there’s a misunderstanding, you can sit down and talk it out.

“I, Tang Lianyuan, don’t have anything but I can still afford a few cups of Longxian Tea,” said the middle-aged man with a friendly smile.

He first looked at the old man, then at Su Jingxing.

“Haha, it’s been a while since we last met. Elder Jiang’s capabilities have improved again.”

The other burly man, who was nearly two meters tall, laughed. “It’s rare for us to meet again here. Why don’t we find a place to have some tea and catch up, Elder Jiang?”

Then, lowering his voice, he said quickly, “I have good news for you, Elder Jiang. I’ve already found half of the Flying Lion Ring!”

The Flying Lion Ring?

How did the Changyang Prefecture Army find the other half of the Flying Lion Ring so quickly?

$u Jingxing was taken aback.

But his aura remained the same.

The burly man was none other than Gu Zhanlin, one of the commanders of the Changyang Prefecture Army whom he had met once previously.

Last time, the two of them were in a valley deep in the Green Cloud Mountain Range, trying to awaken the Flying Lions.

In the end, they gave up because they did not have the Flying Lion Ring.

To be honest, Su Jingxing was a little surprised to see him again today.

Especially when Gu Zhanlin and the others had rushed over from nearby to stop his fight with the old man.

It was Su Jingxing’s first time seeing Tang Lianyuan, the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he knew who he was.

He was the Commander of City Governance of Changyang Prefecture City’s Martial Suppression Office, a third-grade expert.

The fact that Gu Zhanlin had appeared together with Tang Lianyuan meant that the two of them had been discussing something earlier.

The third person with them was a sloppy old man with disheveled hair and a muscular build. He was most likely

“Haha! Hahaha!”

The unkempt old man suddenly burst out laughing, interrupting Su Jingxing, who was about to speak.

“Hahaha! Good, good, good! The heavens don’t want me dead!”

Laughing, he pounced on Feng Tiejian, grabbed him, and easily lifted him up like he was a chick.

Then, his hands moved up and down Feng Tiejian’s body, non-stop.

He laughed out loud as he touched him.

“Good, good, good, good! Hahaha…”

stunned.

Feng Tiejian was stunned, absolutely dumbfounded.

Tang Lianyuan and Gu Zhanlin were both wide-eyed with shock.

The others also gaped, puzzled by what was happening.

Su Jingxing was slightly better; he could tell that the unkept old man was examining Feng Tiejian’s physique.

He had most probably identified Feng Tiejian as a human medicine.

The combination of the two perfectly met one of the unkempt old man’s requirements.

That was why he was so excited.

“Commander Gu, who is this?” asked Su Jingxing, breaking the silence with his aged voice.

“You can address him as the Diamond King. He’s the Sect Master of the Diamond Sect and also its sole disciple.”

Gu Zhanlin came back to his senses and explained, “The reason why the Diamond King was so agitated must have been because of this young man’s conditions. He finally fulfilled his requirements for taking in a disciple.”

“Taking in a disciple?”

Su Jingxing asked, raising his eyebrows in surprise. “Commander Gu, are you saying that the Diamond King is going to take in a disciple? Take in this young man who is fated with me to be his disciple?”

“Most likely.”

Gu Zhanlin replied, “For generations, the Diamond Sect only has one disciple. The sect master is also the sole disciple of the sect. The title, Diamond King is also the only title. They have their own requirements for taking in disciples, and these requirements are very special. Outsiders don’t know the

specifics, we know that one does not necessarily need to be a martial artist. Ordinary people who meet the requirements will also be accepted.

“This young man that Elder Jiang knows must have met the requirements. He’s very lucky to have encountered the Diamond King here,” said Gu Zhanlin, envy appearing on his face.

He paused and recalled something, then added, “Don’t tell me you want to take him in as a disciple too, Elder Jiang?”

“No.”

Su Jingxing answered frankly, “I only lent him a helping hand because fate had brought us together. Who would have thought that this young man would benefit from a disaster and run into the Diamond King? Even without me, he would be able to protect himself in the future.”

“May Lask if he is the reason why Elder Jiang got physical with Chairman Bi?” Tang Lianyuan popped in a question at the right moment.

“Yes.”

Su Jingxing nodded. “He tried to abduct him by force, I won’t agree to it, so I acted. As for the reason, can’t you tell why?”

“Tell what?” asked Tang Lianyuan, puzzled.

Gu Zhanlin also frowned. “What is Elder Jiang referring to?”

“His constitution,” reminded Su Jingxing. “There’s something wrong with this young man’s constitution. The reason why the Diamond King was so excited is because of his constitution.”

“Constitution?” asked Tang Lianyuan, his eyes roving over Feng Tiejian.

Gu Zhanlin’s gaze fell on Feng Tiejian, scanning him repeatedly.

Finally, a few minutes later, Gu Zhanlin’s eyes abruptly widened in shock. “How is this possible?! Was… Was he born this way or was it acquired?”

“Do you think he was born this way or was it acquired, Commander Gu?” asked Su Jingxing coolly.

Even without saying a word, Tang Lianyuan had also recognized Feng Tiejian’s identity as a human medicine.

His mouth dropped open at once. Shock was written all over his face.

‘When he heard Su Jingxing and Gu Zhanlin’s conversation, his pupils constricted.

How could the constitution of a human medicine be innate?

They were “reared” and nurtured to be this way!

Clearly, the Diamond King was so excited because he had figured out Feng Tiejian’s identity as a human medicine from the very beginning.

‘The physique of a human medicine met the requirements to become a disciple of the Diamond Sect?

‘The Diamond Sect seems like quite the oddity.

“The Chairman Bi that Commander Tang mentioned, which organization is he from?”

Su Jingxing paid no more attention to Feng Tiejian. Instead, his gaze fell on the old man, who had a grim expression on his face. “This Chairman Bi clearly harbored evil intentions when he tried to snatch him away. If it weren’t for my appearance, he would have gotten his way.”

“His name is Bi Qisen, and he’s one of the vice chairmans of the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce.”

‘Tang Lianyuan shared while coughing.

The Tianlong Chamber of Commerce was one of the three major chambers of commerce in the Yu Nation.

It had branches and companies in all 18 prefectures of the Yu Nation.

Bi Qisen’s realm as a third-grade martial artist wasn’t the highest in the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce.

There were seven vice chairmans in the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce.

This meant that the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce had at least seven third-grade martial artists.

No one knew how many more were hidden, such as second-grade ones.

Due to his powerful background, Tang Lianyuan had no choice but to urge him with soft words.

By telling Su Jingxing Bi Qisen’s identity, he was also giving him a heads up.

That he had better think twice before making a move on Bi Qisen!

Su Jingxing was well aware of that.

Come to think of it, without a powerful backer, would the old fellow Bi Qisen dare to abduct someone off the streets?

No matter how tyrannical a third-grade martial artist was, experts from the Martial Suppression Office were there to suppress them.

Even with the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce backing them, if they committed too many evil deeds and got caught red-handed, the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t dare to shield them either.

Compared to the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, the Martial Suppression Office was the Yu Nation’s most powerful department.

‘The Head Supervisor of the Martial Suppression Office was one of the few big shots in the world, a first-grade expert, and a member of the Yu Nation’s cabinet.

However, neither side would make a big deal out of it if unnecessary.

The current situation was the best.

Bi Qisen was the one who started it all. He was also the one to strike first.

Now that Su Jingxing had wounded him, as long as he didn’t continue, the matter would come to an end.

Su Jingxing was more than happy to cooperate

He wasn’t afraid of the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, but there was also no reason for him to provoke them.

If he were to get into a conflict with such a behemoth, things could get tricky.

Even if Su Jingxing was using the alias “Jiang Ziya’.

“You can investigate the cause of this incident yourself. You’ll be able to get a clear look from the security camera footage at the entrance of the hotel.”

Su Jingxing spoke calmly, “I can do Commander Tang a favor regarding this matter, but I’m not sure about Chairman Bi.”

“Haha, don’t worry, Elder Jiang. I’ll talk to Chairman Bi. I guarantee this matter will end here.”

‘Tang Lianyuan was overjoyed.

Then, he looked at Gu Zhanlin and said, “Old Gu, please entertain Elder Jiang. I’ll go talk to Bi Qisen.”

“Go ahead, go ahead. It’s best to get Bi Qisen to be sensible.”

Gu Zhanlin waved his hand.

He wasn’t afraid of Bi Qisen. No matter how powerful the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce was, they wouldn’t dare face off against the Changyang Prefecture Army.

“Elder Jiang, if Bi Qisen was smart, he would definitely cooperate,”

comforted Gu Zhanlin.

“It’s fine,” replied Su Jingxing coolly. “I’m fine if he doesn’t cooperate too.”

Right~

Gu Zhanlin shrugged, impressed by this “Jiang Ziya” who lived in seclusion in the woods.

Ordinary third-grade martial artists would not dare to go up against the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce.

Even though Bi Qisen couldn’t represent the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, they wouldn’t sit idly by if Jiang Ziya really wanted to kill him.

At that time, there would be great trouble.

Still, it was admirable that Jiang Ziya wasn’t afraid of them at all.

In fact, compared to Bi Qisen, Su Jingxing was more wary of Gu Zhanlin.

‘The cloak and mask Su Jingxing wore this time was different from what he wore during the previous time when he met Gu Zhanlin.

Yet Gu Zhanlin recognized him immediately when he arrived at the scene.

What did this mean?

This meant that Gu Zhanlin had committed his aura and vitality to memory!

The Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique could only fully hide Su Jingxing’s aura when he’s not fighting.

‘Once he made a move and released true energy, the effect would be greatly reduced.

This was the incomplete reason.

As such, Su Jingxing usually paid close attention to this.

Yet, Gu Zhanlin remembered him just after one occasion. He became wary for some reason.

‘The next time they met, he would try his best not to make a move unless it was necessary.

Of course, he had to protect his identity well when the time came.

Su Jingxing, Yang Jian, Guest Elder Lin, Jiang Ziya.

One true self and three aliases; it was impossible for anyone to associate them together.

Feng Tiejian would have connected the dots.

The last time he was rescued, Li Linzhou had called Su Jingxing “Guest Elder Lin”.

And now, Gu Zhanlin was addressing him as “Elder Jiang”.

If Feng Tiejian heard this, he would definitely be confused.

Unfortunately, the Diamond King had been pestering him from the very beginning. He couldn’t stop touching him, and Feng Tiejian fell in a daze.

By the time he came back to his senses, he was exclaiming in alarm, shouting out loud. How could he have the energy to listen to anything else?

“Senior! Senior! Don’t do this! Don’t do this… Ah!”

“Senior! Senior! Save me! Save me!”

At times, Feng Tiejian begged for mercy. At times, he begged Su Jingxing for help.

Su Jingxing had no time for him.

It was only a physical examination, not harassment.

At this moment, Su Jingxing’s attention was mostly on Bi Qisen.

Tang Lianyuan was in the midst of a discussion with Bi Qisen to resolve the matter.

“Impossible!

“He injured me, there’s no way I’m letting this rest just like that!

“I must take that kid with me!”

Bi Qisen’s expression was stone-cold, showing no respect for Tang Lianyuan.

‘Tang Lianyuan tried to persuade Bi Qisen multiple times in an attempt to eliminate the ill effects. However, Bi Qisen remained extremely stubborn. He was starting to get frustrated.

“Bi Qisen!

“Don’t think you are something just because you are a vice-chairman of . Tianlong and everyone is afraid of you!

“I’m trying to persuade you out of goodwill, not because I’m afraid of you. It’s because I don’t want to cause a huge commotion. If you want to pursue the matter, fine, I’ll help you give the other party a heads up!”

With that, Tang Lianyuan turned around and shouted at the disheveled old man, who was still in a state of excitement. “Senior Wu, this vice-chairman of Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, Bi Qisen, Chairman Bi said that he must take this young man away. What do you think…”

Boom!

‘A gust of wind suddenly rose and swept past Bi Qisen.

Thump!

Bi Qisen was pushed to the ground, and pinned face-down, unable to move an inch!
