Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

#328 - Do you deserve my respect?

Liang Jin, in a demon god-like stance, held the long sword, demanding Bai Qiuying come and take it herself.

His words were filled with intense provocation!

And that… thick arrogance!

It was more like a challenge!

Everyone's heart jolted.

Could it be that after killing Wang Zhi, this kid actually intended to challenge Bai Qiuying, the leader of the Great Snow Mountain Sect?

Could he do it?

If it were before this decisive battle, everyone would probably have felt that Liang Jin was not worthy to be Bai Qiuying's opponent.

But at this moment, after witnessing Liang Jin defeating Wang Zhi, a Third-Rank expert, with his Fourth-Rank strength, everyone subconsciously classified Liang Jin as a Third-Rank existence!

Such a person was naturally qualified to challenge Bai Qiuying.

Thus.

Everyone's gaze turned sharply towards Bai Qiuying.

They were eager to see if Bai Qiuying, as the leader of the Great Snow Mountain Sect, would accept this challenge.

Would she step forward to take the sword?

At this moment, Bai Qiuying's face was livid.

Her eyes were fixed on Liang Jin with a cold and sinister gaze, and her killing intent surged continuously.

Her killing intent was so strong that the surrounding tables, chairs, and the ground rapidly began to frost over.

Everyone could understand her killing intent.

Liang Jin had not only killed the heir she had personally cultivated but had also seized the Great Snow Mountain Sect's treasured artifact.

Now, Liang Jin was even openly issuing a challenge.

This simply showed no respect for the Great Snow Mountain Sect.

It was only natural for Bai Qiuying to have such intense killing intent.

Cang Du, who was beside her, quickly advised:

"Sect Leader Bai! Please, don't be impulsive!"

"Ming Cangwu and Wuliang Fawang are both waiting on the sidelines to reap the benefits."

"If you rashly make a move, any mishap could ruin everything."

If Bai Qiuying, as the leader of the sect, rashly made a move, then regardless of the outcome of this competition, the overall situation would already be at a disadvantage.

Bai Qiuying naturally knew this principle.

But how could she swallow this humiliation?

This Liang Jin was too arrogant!

She had ordered Liang Jin to stop, but Liang Jin insisted on killing Wang Zhi in front of her.

She had ordered Liang Jin to return the Ice Jade Sword, but Liang Jin insisted on using the opportunity to provoke trouble.

If Bai Qiuying endured this, then she and the Great Snow Mountain Sect would truly face a crisis of prestige.

Across from her.

Liang Jin still pointed the sword at Bai Qiuying:

"The sword is here, if you have the guts, come and take it yourself."

After he had almost fully unleashed his strength, dealing with Wang Zhi, a pseudo-Third-Rank expert who had just entered the early Third-Rank stage, was no longer a problem.

Taking advantage of this moment, he really wanted to challenge a true Third-Rank expert like Bai Qiuying!

Liang Jin also knew that if he fought with Bai Qiuying, he would face immense pressure.

Especially since Bai Qiuying, as the leader of a sect, had learned a lot, had rich experience, and was far from being comparable to a newcomer like Wang Zhi.

But he, Liang Jin, still wanted to try.

Because this was an opportunity.

The leaders of the three major sects were gathered, and they all had concerns and did not dare to easily expose their true trump cards.

In this way, even if Bai Qiuying really fought with Liang Jin, Bai Qiuying would not go all out.

Liang Jin would not have to bear too much pressure from the beginning, so he could slowly verify his strength.

Such an opportunity would not come often after this.

"Or is it…"

"You don't dare to come and take it?!"

Liang Jin shouted in a deep voice.

He once again forced Bai Qiuying.

Didn't the Great Snow Mountain Sect like to use provocation tactics?

Liang Jin also used their own methods to deal with them.

Hearing Liang Jin retort to Bai Qiuying like this made everyone's hearts hang in the balance at this moment.

This was not a martial arts competition.

If Bai Qiuying led the Great Snow Mountain Sect to fight Liang Jin and the Green Robe Tower, then both sides would inevitably suffer heavy losses and countless casualties.

It might even lead to both sides losing the qualifications to compete for the treasure.

Therefore, Star Demon Sea Master Ming Cangwu and Wuliang Fawang both closed their eyes slightly, saying nothing, happy to watch everything unfold.

Ayina stood in the crowd, constantly shaking her head at Liang Jin:

"Meng Xinghun, don't fight her!"

"It's not wise for you two to fight like this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was suddenly shocked.

Because she suddenly realized that what she was worried about was not that Liang Jin would be easily killed by Bai Qiuying, but that she was afraid that the two would suffer heavy losses?

Not long ago, before Liang Jin fought Wang Zhi, she was not like this.

Unknowingly, Ayina had already regarded Liang Jin as a master close to the level of the three great sect leaders!

Liu Yuan also shook her head at Liang Jin, signaling:

"Don't be impulsive!"

"A master of Bai Qiuying's level is not comparable to Wang Zhi!"

Although Bai Qiuying and Wang Zhi were both Third-Rank experts, the gap between Third-Rank experts was also extremely large.

If Bai Qiuying fought Wang Zhi, she would also be able to easily kill Wang Zhi like Liang Jin.

The leaders of such large forces must have their own trump cards.

At this time.

On the other side.

Bai Qiuying had been forced into a corner.

She had to respond, or she would really be unable to step down!

"Kid, you asked for this!"

Bai Qiuying gritted her teeth, and her killing intent burst out.

Immediately, she flipped her palm, and cold air brewed.

Although she was unwilling to make a move, there was no way!

Just at this critical moment.

Suddenly—

Only a burst of clamor came from behind.

It was the direction of the abandoned tomb excavation.

At this moment, a large number of laborers were cheering.

Their cheers echoed continuously in the valley.

One could even see the disciples of the three major sects in charge of supervising the work running over excitedly, shouting:

"It's been dug through!"

"The collapsed part of the abandoned tomb has been dug through!"

"We can enter the tomb!!!"

As soon as this news came out, the whole place immediately erupted.

So many people had traveled thousands of miles to get here, all for the sake of entering the abandoned mausoleum and obtaining the treasure, right?

Now that the abandoned mausoleum had finally been excavated, it also meant that the treasure was within reach.

In an instant, everyone's attention was shifted to the treasure.

Everyone was eager to make a move, unable to restrain themselves, wanting to rush into the abandoned mausoleum immediately.

Bai Qiuying's expression also became anxious.

"Damn it!"

She was currently being held back by Liang Jin, and if the Boundless Bright King Sect and the Star Demon Sea were to seize the initiative, it would be troublesome.

Even more so, after the Star Demon Sea Master, Ming Cangwu, gave the Right Demon Envoy, Black Vulture, a look.

The Right Demon Envoy, Black Vulture, immediately said:

"The grievances between your Great Snow Mountain Sect and the Green Cloak Tower are for you to resolve yourselves."

"Now is no longer a martial arts competition, fight however you want."

"We, the Star Demon Sea, will not accompany you any further."

As he spoke, the people of the Star Demon Sea stood up one after another, seemingly about to leave immediately.

The people from the Boundless Bright King Sect also stood up one after another upon seeing this.

This time.

The most anxious were the people from the Great Snow Mountain Sect and the Green Cloak Tower.

Both groups were impatient.

However, in the arena.

Liang Jin still had a indifferent expression, staring at Bai Qiuying with his sword.

Bai Qiuying was extremely anxious, but she was in a dilemma.

Fighting was not an option, and not fighting was not an option either, she was simply caught between a rock and a hard place.

Cang Du could not sit still either.

He immediately stood up and said to Liang Jin with cupped fists:

"Young Hero Meng, now that the treasure has appeared, why don't we put aside our prejudices for the time being?"

"Please give me some face, let's deal with the treasure first, then talk about other things."

At this time, he naturally could not be implicated here because of this matter.

Bai Qiuying felt a slight relief in her heart upon hearing these words.

If someone offered a way out, then it would undoubtedly be the best outcome for both sides to take it.

Who knew.

Liang Jin snorted coldly:

"Who do you think you are, to deserve me giving you face?"

These words.

Left Cang Du stunned.

Afterwards, his face was filled with bitterness.

That's right, did Liang Jin still need to give him face now?

He had even killed a third-rank martial artist, would he still care about a fourth-rank martial artist like himself?

Moreover, he was no longer his partner.

Cang Du couldn't help but regret it again when he thought of this.

If he hadn't forced Liang Jin to withdraw in the first place, then the two of them would still be partners at this time, and there would be no martial arts slaughter today.

And with Liang Jin's assistance, Cang Du's right to speak would naturally be higher than anyone else's.

Unfortunately, it was too late to regret.

Now that Liang Jin didn't even give Cang Du any face, this made Bai Qiuying face an even more embarrassing choice.

She was even more caught in a dilemma.

She was not afraid of fighting Liang Jin, but she was afraid that this fight would lead to more serious consequences.

At this time.

A beautiful woman walked out from among the disciples of the Great Snow Mountain Sect.

It was Ice Palace Mistress, Lu Yingrong.

She first bowed to Bai Qiuying, and then cupped her fists to Liang Jin:

"Tower Master Meng, in my opinion, the matter of the treasure is the most important thing right now."

"Why don't we hand over this Ice Jade Sword to you for temporary safekeeping first?"

"After the treasure matter is settled, how about we discuss the return of the Ice Jade Sword?"

Lu Yingrong looked pleading.

She knew the predicament of her Sect Leader, and for the sake of the sect, she could only brace herself and stand up.

Liang Jin looked at Lu Yingrong.

He had a good relationship with this person, especially since this person had also given Liang Jin friendly reminders.

Liang Jin could also accept her suggestion.

So Liang Jin spoke:

"I will naturally give Palace Mistress Lu face."

"Let's do as Palace Mistress Lu says!"

After speaking, Liang Jin retracted his hand, and the Ice Jade Sword in his palm immediately disappeared.

His aggressive aura also quickly dissipated.

Even his entire body shape quickly changed from that demon god-like appearance back to his original normal appearance.

Obviously, he had given up on continuing the challenge.

Xiao Wan hurriedly ran to Liang Jin with a piece of clothing, helping Liang Jin change.

Bai Qiuying finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

However, a trace of shame and anger was added to her heart.

As the dignified Sect Leader of the Great Snow Mountain Sect, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?

Lu Yingrong cupped her hands to Liang Jin:

"Thank you, Tower Master Meng!"

Just as she finished speaking, she felt a sharp gaze looking over.

Lu Yingrong turned her head and found that it was Bai Qiuying glaring at her angrily.

"Who allowed you to overstep your authority and make decisions for me without authorization?!"

Bai Qiuying rebuked in a displeased and deep voice.

Although Lu Yingrong resolved the situation and gave both sides a way out.

However, her actions also damaged Bai Qiuying's face and caused anger in her heart.

Lu Yingrong could only hurriedly bow, not daring to answer.

Bai Qiuying snorted coldly:

"Don't forget, you are a member of the Great Snow Mountain Sect!"

Lu Yingrong bowed and dared not straighten up, only repeatedly saying yes.

Her face was respectful, but her heart was also full of bitterness.

She had always been loyal to the sect and shared the Sect Leader's worries.

But all she received was reprimand…

Bai Qiuying waved her hand, and immediately led the disciples of the Great Snow Mountain Sect towards the location of the treasure.

At this time.

Liang Jin suddenly spoke:

"Wait!"

Bai Qiuying suddenly turned her head:

"What do you want again?"

Liang Jin said lightly:

"Sect Leader Bai, why are you so angry."

"I'm not just telling you to wait, I'm telling everyone to wait!"

"Now that the distribution of the treasure has not been agreed upon, no one can leave!"

These words naturally received the support of all the Green Cloak Tower disciples.

They immediately stood behind Liang Jin, cheering loudly to support Liang Jin.

At this moment, they also believed that Liang Jin was indeed fighting for their interests!
