The Game

The person shouting was Li Zicheng.

Everyone followed the direction of his shout and saw a figure behind the Mad Saber Sect disciples. It was Jiang Shuo.

Feng En's eyes lit up, and he immediately waved, calling out, "Jiang Shuo, hurry over here!"

"Don't let him get away." As Jiang Shuo was about to step forward, Chen Xian immediately ordered. The Mad Saber Sect disciples immediately moved, surrounding Jiang Shuo and trapping him tightly in the middle.

A cold glint flashed in Feng En's eyes as he looked at Chen Xian. "What do you mean by this? Jiang Shuo is a disciple who went missing from my Hundred Flowers Sect. Why is the Mad Saber Sect capturing him? You people from the Mad Saber Sect always claimed to know nothing before. It doesn't seem like what you said."

"We are not letting him go." With his lie exposed, Chen Xian simply stated the Mad Saber Sect's attitude without any explanation.

Feng En's eyebrow twitched slightly. "Could it be that you really think I wouldn't dare to take him?"

Chen Xian's expression stiffened, and his demeanor became extremely solemn.

After Jiang Shuo and the other person intruded into the Forbidden Ground, Chen Xian investigated their backgrounds. Sun Daoming was Sun Man's son. As for Jiang Shuo, although he hadn't been in Yulin for long, he was already famous. Legend had it that Feng En had expelled the meritorious Zhao Zhi from the sect for Jiang Shuo, and even detained the County Magistrate's son, openly defying the imperial court. Although the imperial court and the martial arts world were different, this undoubtedly proved Feng En's high regard for Jiang Shuo.

Chen Xian understood Feng En's personality. If he pushed the other party too hard, he feared the other party might actually do it.

With just their few people, they wouldn't be able to stop the Hundred Flowers Sect from taking him.

"Heh heh, Hundred Flowers Sect, Hundred Flowers Sect, don't push your luck too far!" As Chen Xian was at a loss, another voice came from the side. It was Shi Gangwei, the senior disciple of the Mad Saber Sect.

Along with Shi Gangwei came a large number of Mad Saber Sect disciples. This was, after all, the Mad Saber Sect's territory. The Mad Saber Sect disciples surrounded the Hundred Flowers Sect's people entirely, making it more than enough even if it was three against one.

"Senior Disciple Brother." Everyone bowed and cleared a path. Shi Gangwei walked to the front and looked at Feng En. "My Mad Saber Sect treats the Hundred Flowers Sect as honored guests and has never neglected them in any way. Yet, your Hundred Flowers Sect secretly sent disciples to infiltrate our sect's Forbidden Ground with ill intentions. Everyone in the martial arts world knows that the back mountain is the Mad Saber Sect's Forbidden Ground, and trespassers will be killed without mercy. Your sect's two disciples trespassed into the Forbidden Ground first, and now you are blaming us for detaining them. Heh heh, are all people from the Hundred Flowers Sect those who twist right and wrong?"

Shi Gangwei had completely lost the amiable demeanor he had when welcoming Changsun Li, exuding dominance. He narrowed his eyes, swept his gaze lightly across the crowd, and continued, "The land you are standing on now is also the Mad Saber Sect's Forbidden Ground. Let alone the Forbidden Ground, even other places, trespassing without the owner's permission is unreasonable, isn't it? You even keep saying you want to take someone. Could it be that your sect is trying to bully us because our Sect Master is absent?"

After speaking, he winked, and the Mad Saber Sect disciples raised their voices in unison, their shouts reaching the heavens, deafening and awe-inspiring.

Except for a few people like Feng En, everyone in the Hundred Flowers Sect changed their expressions.

Feng En narrowed his eyes and looked at the opposite side, contemplating what to do.

"Senior Disciple Brother, this matter is indeed our fault. If we forcefully try to take him, regardless of whether we succeed, the conflict with the Mad Saber Sect will escalate, and it might even lead to a war between the two sects," Sun Man, who could see Feng En's favoritism towards Jiang Shuo, said quickly, fearing he would act impulsively.

As for Sun Daoming, although he had committed the same mistake as Jiang Shuo, he was on their side. Even if the Mad Saber Sect wanted someone, with Feng En's personality, how could he give them up? Sacrificing one Jiang Shuo to resolve this matter perfectly seemed like a relatively good outcome.

Feng En's eyes were a little cold. He naturally saw that Sun Man was deliberately trying to harm Jiang Shuo, yet what he said was not unreasonable. If he insisted on taking him by force, he feared he wouldn't be able to get the full support of the Hundred Flowers Sect.

"Master Feng, if there's nothing else, please have the Hundred Flowers Sect members withdraw from the Mad Saber Sect's Forbidden Ground," Shi Gangwei said loudly again.

He was gambling that Feng En would not completely fall out with the Mad Saber Sect for the sake of a mere Jiang Shuo.

Feng En's eyes narrowed. He glanced at Jiang Shuo and had made up his mind.

He lowered his voice and looked at Shi Gangwei, asking, "What if I don't leave?"

"Senior Disciple Brother, this..." Sun Man's eyes widened in surprise, and he opened his mouth to persuade, but Feng En raised his hand to stop him.

Feng En's words had clearly stated his attitude. A ruthless glint flashed in Shi Gangwei's eyes, and he slowly raised his arm.

As he raised his arm, the Mad Saber Sect disciples on the periphery became more stern, gripping their weapons, ready to face a fierce battle.

"Wait!"

As the battle was about to erupt, a soft female voice came from the outermost edge.

The voice was not loud, and its tone was melodious, yet it seemed to contain an inexplicable power that clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

As if thinking of something, Shi Gangwei's brows furrowed.

Then, the crowd parted to the sides, and a group of enchanting women, forming a pleasing spectacle, led by Liu Ruyan, slowly walked forward.
