Chapter 1720: Chapter 398: Chen Jiu IV: Today I Alone Will Battle the Six Great Sects! (Part 3)

At this moment, Chang Xuzi looked at Chen Jiusi and said, "Chen Jiusi, let’s put our personal grievances aside for now. The purpose of my Six Great Sects coming here today is to capture Little Ming King. Please step aside and let us take Little Ming King away. Afterwards, whether it’s a Jianghu duel or a personal vendetta, I, Chang Xuzi, will be waiting for you. How about it?"

Chang Xuzi’s words were straightforward yet clever, clearly pointing out the purpose of the Six Great Sects’ mission and emphasizing that capturing Little Ming King is the primary task. As for personal grievances afterward, we can settle them slowly.

Collective interests are paramount. If Chen Jie disagrees now, he would be opposing the Six Great Sects.

Chang Xuzi would not be fighting alone anymore.

Therefore Chang Xuzi looked at Chen Jie with a smile and said, "Chen Jiusi, step aside. Afterwards, if you seek vengeance, I will be waiting for you at Kunlun. Today, don’t try to stop a chariot with your arms; the matters here are not something you can meddle with!"

Upon hearing Chang Xuzi’s words, Chen Jie knew he was trying to provoke him.

Frankly speaking, since Chen Jie stepped forward, he was in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat!

If Chen Jie chooses not to intervene, how will the Zoroastrian Sect view him? A seemingly harmonious relationship between Chen Jie and the Zoroastrian Sect would inevitably have cracks.

And if he chooses to intervene, isn’t it as Chang Xuzi said, opposing the Six Great Sects? Chang Xuzi might be borrowing someone else’s knife to kill, which is what he truly wants to do.

Chang Xuzi looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, after you!"

Chen Jie looked at Chang Xuzi, his gaze slightly narrowing, and said, "Hehe, Chang Xuzi, worthy of being the Kunlun Sect Leader, impressive, impressive."

Upon hearing this, Chang Xuzi forced a smile and said, "Not as impressive as you; even the Blood Devouring Poison couldn’t kill you!"

After saying this, Chang Xuzi took a step forward, the Cheng Ying Sword tightly gripped in his hand, ready to execute Lei Ming. Unexpectedly, Chen Jie blocked his path.

Chang Xuzi furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Chen Jiusi, what do you mean by this? Do you intend to stop us from capturing Little Ming King? Opposing my Six Great Sects?"

Chen Jie looked at Chang Xuzi and said, "Isn’t this exactly what you want to see?"

Chang Xuzi laughed and said, "Yes, but who would have thought you would really be this foolish, opposing the Six Great Sects for Little Ming King. Have you thought this through?"

Chen Jie said, "I’ve thought it through very well."

After saying this, Chang Xuzi smiled, stepped back, and said, "Master Jue Mie, how do you think this should be resolved?"

"Given Emei’s past ties with Chen Jiusi, it seems only you can resolve this matter."

Chang Xuzi directly threw this difficult task to Master Jue Mie.

At this moment, Master Jue Mie’s face darkened, glaring at Chang Xuzi. Chang Xuzi was truly malicious, knowing that Chen Jie had saved Emei, and now forcing Master Jue Mie to make a decision was clearly intended to pressure her.

Master Jue Mie’s expression was unpleasant at this moment, but Song Yuanqiao of Wudang was quite perceptive.

He furrowed his brows and looked at Master Kong Wen of Shaolin, saying, "Master Kong Wen, being the chief of the Six Sects this time, it should be up to you to decide."

Hearing this, Master Kong Wen looked at Master Jue Mie. Both were monks and naturally shared some camaraderie, not wishing to pressure her too much, so he said, "Chen Jiusi, the situation is as such, with no other options. Either step aside and let us take Little Ming King, and resolve your enmities with Kunlun and Tang Sect yourselves, which we will not interfere with."

"Or stay, and it means opposing my Six Great Sects. Don’t blame us for not being polite then!"

Hearing this, Chen Jie bowed to Master Kong Wen and said, "Master, pardon me. It was thanks to the favor of Yushan Shangren that I survived, and to repay that life-saving grace, I promised him to ensure Little Ming King’s safety, so I apologize, Master. Today I must offend you!"

After hearing this, Master Kong Wen said calmly, "Then there’s nothing that can be done. Since you’ve chosen to protect Little Ming King, don’t blame us for being ruthless."

After saying this, Chen Jie looked at Master Kong Wen and said, "Master, I’ve seen what happened just now. Since I’ve decided to protect Little Ming King, I stand with the Divine Dragon Sect."

"You just had a Jianghu duel, and the Divine Dragon Sect’s members were completely defeated. I, Chen Jiusi, will fill the vacancy. If by chance I win a move or two against the Six Great Sects, I hope Master will fulfill your promise and release Little Ming King. What does Master think?"

Master Kong Wen, upon hearing this, said, "Alright, since Mr. Chen has said so, then let Mr. Chen battle against my Six Great Sects. If Mr. Chen wins, we will descend from the mountain and no longer target Little Ming King. If Mr. Chen loses, then please hand over Little Ming King and withdraw from this dispute, is that acceptable?"

Chen Jie, upon hearing this, said, "Alright, it’s a deal."

Master Kong Wen then took a step back, looking at everyone present and said, "What does everyone think of my decision?"

Upon hearing this, no one spoke, indicating tacit approval.

Master Kong Wen looked at Chang Xuzi and said, "Sect Leader Chang Xuzi, it was your turn just now, perhaps you should lead again this time?"

Chang Xuzi, upon hearing this, glanced at Chen Jie and said, "Fine, I initially thought to resolve our personal vendettas after leaving Bright Peak. Now it seems there’s no need for such trouble."

Saying this, Chang Xuzi slowly advanced, raising the Cheng Ying Sword in his hand.

Seeing this, Chen Jie reached out, lifting the Fire Dragon Spear from the ground. With the spear in hand, Chen Jie said, "Sect Leader Chang Xuzi, please!"

Chang Xuzi glanced at Chen Jie, and without further words, the Cheng Ying Sword in his hand sliced through with sword shadows and said, "Chen Jiusi, take the sword."

Though Chang Xuzi was wary of Chen Jie, he still believed he could win against him. After all, Chen Jie was at the Middle Melting Furnace Realm, while he was at the Upper Melting Furnace Realm. The realm suppression gave him the confidence that he wouldn’t lose.
