Storm Clouds Gather over Tianfu City

The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching.

Normally, these few days should have been the most peaceful and tranquil time in the city, when everyone was relatively happy.

But now, Tianfu City was gripped by tension and fear.

In just a few short days,

A piece of news had spread from who knew where.

The legendary Dragon-Slaying Precious Saber had appeared in Tianfu City.

As a result, large numbers of jianghu people kept pouring into Tianfu City.

As a result, fights and even killings became frequent, and most of those involved were the young masters of prominent families who were used to throwing their weight around.

As a result, the Tianfu City magistrate had been so worried lately that his hair was almost falling out.

But there was nothing he could do. With only the fighting strength of his county yamen constables, he was utterly helpless.

Today,

The magistrate, Jia Dayan, went to the Eighth Prince's residence with a mournful face to ask for help.

The Eighth Prince: "..."

Looking at the magistrate before him, he had no desire to pay him any attention.

He was pondering a very important matter.

Was the Dragon Slaying Saber really in Tianfu City?

As for the chaos in the city, he didn't care. It was perfectly normal, wasn't it?

In this world, where didn't people die?

He was wondering where the Dragon Slaying Saber might be if it really was in Tianfu City.

He turned the matter over in his mind.

Suddenly, the Eighth Prince froze as he looked at the magistrate before him. Then he smiled. He had been so stupid.

Hadn't the person who could solve the problem just come to him?

Who cared where it was? In any case, it was in Tianfu City, wasn't it?

Now that something this big had happened in the city, the magistrate had reason to intervene, didn't he? Surely it wouldn't be excessive to search house by house for the source of the unrest?

At the thought, the Eighth Prince immediately looked at Magistrate Jia Dayan with delight and nodded slightly. "You're right. How about this? I'll lend you the guards at my side."

"Really!"

The magistrate was wild with excitement, but then concern appeared on his face.

If the Eighth Prince's guards left him,

The city was in turmoil at a time like this. What if something happened...

But the Eighth Prince paid it no mind and waved a hand dismissively. "Don't worry. So what if I have no guards? The jianghu... Hmph, if they've got the ability, let them try laying a hand on this prince."

The magistrate came to a sudden realization.

Indeed, even without guards, this was still Tianfu City.

Anyone who dared attack a prince in public must have a death wish.

The magistrate hurriedly nodded.

Afterward, the Eighth Prince gave him a few more pointers.

For instance, what should be done about treating the symptoms but not the root cause?

For instance, now that he had the strength, shouldn't he nip the problem in the bud? And the source was the Dragon Slaying Saber.

Shouldn't he search for it?

In the end, the magistrate left, only half understanding.

Before long, the jianghu people in Tianfu City were having a hard time, because the county yamen had intervened, with a group of powerful martial artists maintaining order.

All at once, the open fighting in Tianfu City disappeared.

Ordinary people felt that the authorities were doing a good job, but more of the powerful and wealthy felt a storm brewing.

Even more jianghu people had been entering the city lately.

Many major sects renowned throughout the jianghu had even begun to arrive.

Jun Residence.

"The Water God Gang is here!"

Sikong Ye said gravely after going out and returning once again.

Before this, he had already gone out more than ten times, and each time he had brought back a name.

The Heavenly One Sect.

The Blood Wolf Society.

Jun Jingyi was getting a little tired of hearing them.

"Tell me, are you still not going to start?"

Sikong Ye was somewhat worried. "Don't let things get out of hand when the time comes. These forces are enough to wipe out the Li Family in the west of the city!"

By now, he had already guessed part of Jun Jingyi's plan.

Just think: if the Dragon Slaying Saber fell into the Li Family's hands, those crazed jianghu people wouldn't care about rules or circumstances.

A great battle was bound to break out at the Li Family.

In a great battle, it would be hard to avoid bringing disaster upon the Li Family. If someone played a few tricks amid the chaos, the Li Family in the west of the city would be no more.

Though he was shocked by Jun Jingyi's intention to wipe out the family,

He soon came to terms with it.

Just think of those ordinary people whose families had been destroyed by that Young Master Li.

And that was only what the insignificant Second Young Master Li had done during this recent period...

"Mm, wait a little longer. It's still not enough!"

Jun Jingyi shook his head.

These forces were indeed enough to deal with the Li Family, but they were still far from enough for the Eighth Prince-or rather, they didn't have the nerve.

He needed a heavyweight force to enter the fray.

As for whether that force had the nerve to deal with the Eighth Prince, that wasn't important.

As long as he came to Tianfu City, his own actions would no longer be up to him.

Sikong Ye frowned.

He looked at Jun Jingyi in puzzlement, thoughts racing through his mind as he tried to understand what he was thinking.

Of course, he didn't consider the possibility of dealing with the Eighth Prince.

That was simply impossible.

He was a prince, after all...

One only had to look at how wary Jun Jingyi had been before. The imperial family was still the imperial family!

After thinking for a long time, Sikong Ye shook his head and left.

He went to gather some more information.

Before long, a piece of news made Jun Jingyi smile.

The Snow Mountain Sect, one of the seven great sects of the jianghu, had arrived.
