Yue Shan: You're All Helping Wu Yun

The atmosphere turned tense, and swords were drawn in an instant! Yue Shan had truly made up his mind to kill Wu Yun and Lin Dong.

From today's Elixir Immortal Pool Contest, it was clear that Wu Yun and Lin Dong had become members of the Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association. That made them enemies of the Blood Wolf Gang.

If Wu Yun could kill Wei Tong today, it probably would not be long before he could kill Yue Shan as well!

Just as Wu Yun was about to speak, Xia Wanjin stepped forward first. "Gang Leader Yue, Wu Yun is an Offering Elder of the Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association. If you want him to pay with his life, you'll have to ask me, Xia Wanjin, first!"

"Xia Wanjin, I must kill Wu Yun today. If you insist on protecting him, then prepare to go to war with my Blood Wolf Gang."

Yue Shan issued the threat resolutely. He had Xia Wanjin figured out. This man had built his fortune through trade and always valued harmony above all else. He would not dare tear all pretenses apart and fight to the death with him.

"Heh, threatening me with war again? Yue Shan, who's afraid of whom? Touch Wu Yun, and I'll issue the Ten Thousand Gold Command. At worst, we'll fight until both sides are destroyed."

Xia Wanjin spoke firmly.

He hoped to prosper through harmony, but that did not mean he feared trouble. Besides, merchants understood investment. With his eye for talent, he could naturally see that Wu Yun's future was limitless. Supporting him now would surely bring the Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association tremendous returns in the future.

Not a single manager, including Xuan Su, objected. They all supported Wu Yun as well.

"For the sake of one Wu Yun, is it worth tearing all ties with our Blood Wolf Gang?" Yue Shan frowned.

"What's so great about your Blood Wolf Gang? So what if we offend you? Try touching Wu Yun today!"

Suddenly, an aged yet powerful voice rang out from the direction of Flame City.

Everyone turned toward the voice and saw Yan Xuan approaching with a group of people dressed in white Rune Master robes, leaning on a Rune Master's cane.

Each of their robes bore at least one rune insignia.

That meant they were at least One-Seal Talismancers.

"The Symbol Master Association!"

"Master Yan, our Blood Wolf Gang has always respected the Symbol Master Association. What brings you here today?"

Yue Shan tried his best to remain polite. He still did not understand why the Symbol Master Association had suddenly come. "Respect? Then does Gang Leader Yue know that Wu Yun is my disciple?" Yan Xuan said coldly.

"He is your disciple? How is that possible?"

Yue Shan could not believe it. Could this brat have cultivated spiritual power too?

"Not only is he this old man's disciple, he is also a Two-Seal Symbol Master of the Symbol Master Association!" Yan Xuan declared thunderously. The Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association, the Symbol Master Association... Yue Shan thought to himself. Wasn't this brat from the tiny Qingyang Town? How had he earned the attention of these two major factions?

Of Flame City's four great factions, only the City Lord's Mansion had yet to get involved.

Good thing the City Lord's Mansion hasn't come. I can still withstand the pressure from these two factions.

He had just persuaded the Ghost Blade Sect, a force second only to the four great factions, to form an alliance with him. They could barely contend with these two factions.

However, just as that thought arose, the sound of galloping hooves rang out and the earth shook.

In the distance, a dark mass of black-armored troops charged over at incredible speed, their Aura imposing.

At their head was a woman riding a handsome white horse, dressed in a flowing purple gauze dress.

"The Black Armored Guard! It's the City Lord's Mansion's Black Armored Guard!"

Someone could not help crying out in shock.

The Black Armored Guard was the City Lord's Mansion's most powerful force. It could even be called Flame City's strongest force.

Yue Shan suddenly had the urge to curse.

The Black Armored Guard arrived and stopped. The purple-clad young woman at their head dismounted.

Ziyue said in a crisp voice, "Wu Yun is a Guest Elder of my City Lord's Mansion. Whoever wants to touch him will have to step over the corpses of the Black Armored Guard first!"

Now the set was complete! The members of the Blood Wolf Gang were all dumbfounded, Yue Shan included, and did not know what to do.

Three major factions were pressuring them at once! One wrong move, and they would become the target of everyone's wrath! All eyes gathered on Yue Shan... Please, begin your performance! Lin Dong looked at Wu Yun with envy and admiration. "As expected of Big Brother!"

Without saying a single word, he had solved the problem!

When Lin Dong saw Yue Shan blocking their way earlier, he had been somewhat panicked. Yet in the blink of an eye, the enemy that had come for them had become the target of everyone's wrath.

Is this Big Brother's charisma? Yue Shan's face alternated between red and white. At this moment, the pressure on him was enormous! Damn it, I spoke too absolutely just now. Now I have no way to back down... Yue Shan cursed inwardly.

He swept his gaze over the gang members around him. Every one of them was staring at him, waiting for him to decide.

Gui Yan of the Ghost Blade Sect also wore a grave expression as he looked at the three major factions. He said quietly, "Brother Yue, there will be plenty of chances in the future. Please endure this for now. Deal with that brat after today!"

Yue Shan nodded resentfully, then put on a smiling face and called out loudly,

"Since Master Yan and Miss Ziyue have both stepped forward, our Blood Wolf Gang will naturally give you all this respect."

"There may be some misunderstanding here. Once I return and investigate the matter thoroughly, I will give everyone an explanation!"

A gentleman did not stand beneath a crumbling wall!

After speaking, Yue Shan wanted to take his people and slip away. From beginning to end, he had never considered speaking to Wu Yun.

"Heh, leaving just like that?"

Wu Yun mocked.

The voice was not loud, yet the entire scene instantly fell silent.

Everyone turned to look at Wu Yun!

What was he going to do?

"Hm? Are you provoking me?"

Yue Shan turned back, his gaze turning cold and sharp.

"Do you really think I don't dare kill you?"

He was, after all, the dignified leader of a gang, one of Flame City's three Great Perfection Core Formation Stage experts.

"Oh? Then kill me."

Wu Yun spoke calmly.

He looked completely fearless!

"You!"

The veins on Yue Shan's face bulged. He was just short of exploding with rage.

He swept his gaze across the crowd and said sternly, "Everyone saw it, didn't you? He is the one courting death. It is not that I, Yue Shan, refuse to let him go."

Xia Wanjin, Yan Xuan, and Ziyue all looked at Wu Yun in confusion, unable to understand what he was trying to do. Did he really intend to borrow their influence and say a few grand words just to save face? That did not seem like Wu Yun's usual style.

At that moment, Wu Yun stepped out.

He first cupped his hands toward everyone. "Thank you all for standing up to help me!"

"However, this is ultimately a grudge between the Blood Wolf Gang and me."

"Gang Leader Yue, don't talk about who is letting whom go. You only dare not attack because you fear them. In the end, it comes down to whose fist is bigger.

"Back when the Blood Garment Sect tried to seize the Yang Yuan Stone Mine of my Mad Blade Martial Arts School, they also used force to threaten us. We tried reasoning with them, but they would not listen. They insisted on fighting, so they all died. That taught me that a bigger fist is the only hard truth!"

As Wu Yun spoke, he walked step by step toward the Blood Wolf Gang.

"So, you think your fist is big enough?" Yue Shan sneered coldly.

"I do have that feeling. I don't know whether I can beat you to death, but I'd like to try."

Wu Yun said this with utter sincerity.

The moment those words came out, everyone was shocked.

Wu Yun actually wanted to challenge Yue Shan!

He had gone mad! Yue Shan was at the Great Perfection Core Formation Stage.

"Haha, you want to challenge me? Have a Life-and-Death Duel with me?" Yue Shan burst into laughter.

"Wu Yun, don't be impulsive! This Yue Shan may have already grasped the Intent of Creation. He is no ordinary Great Perfection expert, and you are no match for him!"

Xia Wanjin said anxiously. Yue Shan was someone even he deeply feared.

"Gasp, he has grasped the Intent of Creation!"

"That is equivalent to having one foot in the Creation Stage."

Those who heard Xia Wanjin's words were utterly shocked!

The Intent of Creation was the necessary path to entering the Three Stages of Creation. Only by comprehending the Intent of Creation could one advance into the first stage of the Three Stages of Creation, the Creation Stage! Wu Yun still smiled teasingly. "Since President Xia is worried, then just watch my back. If you see that I cannot defeat Yue Shan, save me at the critical moment. And if I happen to kill him, consider it an early repayment of the favor I owe you!"

Here it comes! Here it comes!!!
