Beauty Sacrifices Herself

"Hall Master Luo Jiu, you're blocking my way. You're not here just to chat, are you?"

Jiang Lei's expression sank as he looked at the ill-intentioned members of the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, speaking in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man at the forefront of the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School's contingent snorted and said, "Jiang Lei, to tell you the truth, I recently broke through to Great Accomplishment of Shaping Realm.

Now, I'll give your Eagle Martial Arts School two options: either merge into my Blood Vulture Martial Arts School and become one of us, or leave Great Eagle City and find your own way to survive. Choose one!"

As the Hall Master of the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, Luo Jiu's words fell, immediately causing a commotion among the onlookers.

This place was right in the center of Great Eagle City, with a large flow of people. Therefore, the events unfolding here quickly drew a crowd.

Numerous gazes looked at the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School and the Eagle Martial Arts School in the center with surprise.

As the two most powerful martial arts schools in Great Eagle City, they had been evenly matched for years.

However, with Luo Jiu's breakthrough to Great Accomplishment of Shaping Realm, had the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School finally unleashed its ambition to dominate Great Eagle City?

On the other side, the members of the Eagle Martial Arts School, led by Jiang Lei, also had their expressions sink.

Compared to the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, which had been rising in recent years, the Eagle Martial Arts School was an established force in Great Eagle City, with a legacy of over ten years. Its very name was derived from Great Eagle City.

Now that the Eagle Martial Arts School was being pushed to such an extent by the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, they were not only angered but also filled with shame.

Even Jiang Xue, who was beside Lin Langtian, clenched her fists tightly, biting her red lips, her beautiful eyes filled with undisguised anger.

"Hall Master Luo Jiu, our two martial arts schools have always minded our own business. Isn't this going too far?" Jiang Lei frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, the winner takes all, the loser is the bandit. You understand this principle, don't you, Jiang Lei? My fist is big, so my word is the rule in Great Eagle City!" Luo Jiu snorted.

"Luo Jiu, do you really think I'm afraid of you!"

Hearing this, Jiang Lei's expression became extremely grim. He clenched his palm, and a heavy sword instantly appeared. A powerful aura erupted.

"Haha, Jiang Lei, I've already reached Great Accomplishment of Shaping Realm. The gap between us is widening. With your current strength, are you even worthy of fighting me?" Seeing this, Luo Jiu burst into laughter, his words filled with disdain.

"Then let's try!"

Jiang Lei's eyes darkened. He stomped on the ground, and his body suddenly darted out. The heavy sword carried a sharp sword light, fiercely slashing towards Luo Jiu, who was sitting on his horse.

"Die!"

Seeing this, Luo Jiu's eyes sharpened. He gripped his palm, and a heavy iron hammer appeared in his hand. He slapped the horse's back with his palm and leaped forward. The hammer whistled, like a falling boulder, and with lightning speed, it fiercely struck Jiang Lei's sword light.

"Clang!"

A low muffled sound and fluctuations of Primal Energy erupted from mid-air. Then, Jiang Lei's body was shaken backward, and he retreated to the ground, leaving a trail of about ten meters.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing Jiang Lei fall into a disadvantage after just one blow, the people of the Eagle Martial Arts School let out worried murmurs.

"I'll give you three days. If your Eagle Martial Arts School doesn't voluntarily withdraw from Great Eagle City within three days, then don't blame me for taking action myself!"

After repelling Jiang Lei with a single blow, Luo Jiu sneered disdainfully. He then waved his hand at the people behind him and returned the way they came, giving the Eagle Martial Arts School a stern warning before leaving.

After the incident with the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, the mood of the Eagle Martial Arts School members became extremely somber.

As for Lin Langtian, after following everyone to the Eagle Martial Arts School, he was arranged in a relatively luxurious room.

Thinking about the events of the day, Lin Langtian shook his head.

This was the Great Thousand World. There was no law, no order, only the harsh reality of the strong ruling the weak.

Conflicts like the one between the Eagle Martial Arts School and the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School were happening everywhere in the Great Thousand World all the time, and were nothing new.

Although he had spent a few days with the Eagle Martial Arts School, he didn't have any deep emotional ties.

Furthermore, the debt of gratitude for guiding him had already been repaid when he defeated the Leopard Crocodile King. Therefore, he didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, nor could he possibly intervene in all such injustices he encountered.

"Knock knock!"

Just as Lin Langtian was preparing to rest, his door was suddenly knocked upon, and Jiang Xue's gentle voice came from outside.

"Please come in." Seeing Jiang Xue coming to find him so late, Lin Langtian showed a thoughtful expression and then spoke.

"Creak."

The door was pushed open, and moonlight streamed in through the gap. A graceful figure then stepped in with light footsteps, bathed in the moonlight.

Lin Langtian was slightly taken aback as he watched Jiang Xue enter the room, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Xue had clearly made an effort to dress up. She wore a purple top over a green dress, her features were as beautiful as a painting, her skin was as white as snow, and her smooth black hair cascaded down to her slender waist.

Coupled with her slightly flushed cheeks and the moonlight illuminating her, she appeared exceptionally beautiful and captivating.

Being stared at by Lin Langtian, the blush on Jiang Xue's pretty face deepened slightly. She closed the door behind her, holding a neat stack of clothes in her jade hands.

"Miss Jiang Xue, what brings you here so late at night?" Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow and asked.

"These are some spare clothes." Jiang Xue placed the neat stack of clothes on the table, her voice soft. She lowered her head slightly, the lamplight illuminating her pretty face, making it seem as hot as fire.

"You could have just had a maid bring these over." Lin Langtian shook his head slightly, then looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Miss Jiang Xue, is this about what happened today?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xue's delicate body stiffened slightly. She lowered her pretty face and remained silent for a moment before softly saying, "My mother left early, so my father raised my sister Yinyin and me. Later, we came to Great Eagle City and established the Eagle Martial Arts School here."

This is my father's hard work for over a decade. If the martial arts school is disbanded, he won't be able to bear the blow. I don't want to see him become dejected."

Jiang Xue lightly bit her red lips, mist gathering in her eyes. Her gentle voice sounded helpless and sad.

"So, I'd like to ask for your help, Young Master. You were able to instantly kill the Leopard Crocodile King at such a young age, so you should have a good chance of dealing with Luo Jiu."

There wasn't much surprise on Lin Langtian's face; he had clearly anticipated Jiang Xue's request. He spoke indifferently.

"Although I don't take that Luo Jiu seriously, Miss Jiang Xue, it seems I've already repaid your kindness in guiding me.

While I believe in repaying debts and grudges, I'm not a do-gooder who intervenes in every situation. Therefore, I don't see any reason why I should offer assistance in the conflict between your martial arts school and the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School."

Lin Langtian knew that in the world of Xuanhuan, being low-key and cautious was the way to go. Flaunting one's strength everywhere and acting arrogantly would only lead to a quicker death.

Even if Luo Jiu wasn't that strong, what if there was a powerful expert behind him? Wouldn't that be courting death?

Therefore, even though the beauty before him was on the verge of tears, eliciting pity, Lin Langtian remained unmoved.

"Young Master Lin Tian, if you can prevent the Eagle Martial Arts School from being disbanded, Xue'er is willing to be your servant!"

Jiang Xue looked at the calm Lin Langtian, took a deep breath, and lightly unfastened her sash. Her skirt slid down, and in an instant, a body as delicate as white jade was completely exposed in the closed room.

This sudden change caused Lin Langtian's expression to shift slightly. He looked at the perfect, snow-white body before him with some surprise.

Jiang Xue was tall and voluptuous, with a slender waist that could be held in one hand. Her skin was like snow and jade, smooth and tender—truly top-notch.

"This, coming on so strong... isn't that a bit much..."
