Ji Yuan was now hugging Shen Qin on his shoulder as he took him back to the jewelry building and they were now at the VIP fifth floor.
Behind them were Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Xue Qianxue and Bai Qianfeng who had donned back their curtain veils.
Also standing behind awkwardly was Elder Zhong Hui.
Why were they now so friendly toward each other? It was because Shen Qin had completely surrendered earlier.
Ji Yuan said to Shen Qin as though he was an old friend, âReally. You donât have to do it. You sure you want to pay for the tab for me.â
Shen Qin smiled bitterly, âIt is my pleasure to do things for Brother JiâŚâ
âLi Yuan.â Ji Yuan corrected him with a smile.
âYes, yes. For my Brother Li Yuan, I am most willing to do so. There is no question that I am most willing.â Shen Qin smiled weakly.
Ji Yuan promptly turned to the same steward that had served him earlier, âWhere are my jewelries? Did you forget to wrap them?â
The steward panicky answered. âI will go and get it now for you. Please pardon meâŚâ
Ji Yuan then turned to Shen Qin and said, âAlas, you know that the Spirit Blue Moon Sect is in trouble with the major orthodox clans.â
Shen Qin immediately said with great righteousness, âI will definitely be supportive of the cause of the Spirit Blue Moon Sect and will muster my sectâs strength to aid your sect.â
Ji Yuan chuckled, âBrother Shen Qin, you are indeed very righteousness. But if I release you, how do I know that you will not go back on your promises? So it is better that I shall invite you to be a guest of the Spirit Blue Moon Sect. Do you think that it is a good idea?â
âI will definitely keep my promise.â Shen Qin smiled weakly. âElder Zhong Hui can stay behind to be your hostage.â
Elder Zhong Hui: âŚ
Ji Yuan sighed, âBut Elder Zhong Hui is a lowly saint cultivator and your sect has no lack of saints. What if you go back and muster your entire force against the Spirit Blue Moon Sect then wonât I be too young, too simple?â
Shen Qin protested weakly, âBrother Li Yuan is so smart and wise, I dare not try to pull wools over your eyes. I will definitely keep my promises.â
Ji Yuan seemed to ponder for a while before saying, âWhy donât you leave behind your arm? I will promise to preserve it perfectly so that you can re-attach it later. Then I will feel more secure.â
Shen Qin was now trembling with fear, âPlease donâtâŚthis will affect my cultivation speedâŚâ
âYouâre already a middle-tier saint. There is no need for you to cultivate in such a hurry.â Ji Yuan chuckled. âMoreover you are still a far way off from being a great saint. Maybe you will even get killed by the Lightning Tribulation.â
Shen Qin was speechless as he cursed Ji Yuan silently. Without my arm, I will surely get killed by the Lightning TribulationâŚ
Ji Yuan took a look at him before smiling, âYour heaven-step divine sword is quite a good sword. Why donât you give it to me as well?â
Shen Qin was stunned. âThis is my sectâs heritage sword. How can I give it to you just like this?â
Ji Yuan laughed, âNot give to me. I am only borrowing it until the day that you can fulfill your promise. Well, if you donât want to then I am not forcing you. After all, I can take it for myself if I want to do so. I have also heard that you got a younger brother that will be interested to take over your sect leader positionâŚâ
Shen Qin immediately said, âYou may take my heaven-step divine sword. It is my pleasure to lend my divine sword to a great hero like my Brother Li Yuan here.â
He added nervously, âSo can I go now?â
Ji Yuan rolled his eyes and asked. âWhat do you think?â
âI canâŚgo now?â Shen Qin asked with trembling lips.
Ji Yuan patted his shoulder and chuckled. âNot yet. There are more things that we are going to do next.â
Shen Qin was about to faint. How the hell did he offend this great malevolent starâŚ
Ji Yuan grabbed Shen Qinâs shoulder like an old friend. âBecause we are friends now and I think you ought to do a little bit more. I can only release you if you are able to prepare one million high grade spirit stones to the war cause of the Spirit Blue Moon Sect.â
Shen Qin was suddenly smiling. One million high grade spirit stones are nothing at all to the Astonishing Sword Manor. As long as he can get out of his present predicament, he can always take revenge on this Ji Yuan later. Even if Ji Yuan has ten lives, he cannot fight against the full might of the Astonishing Sword Manor.
âNo problem! I can get it done immediately. To show my sincerity, I will leave Elder Zhong Hui in the Spirit Blue Moon Sect as a hostage.â
Elder Zhong Hui: âŚ
Elder Zhong Hui: âŚ
Elder Zhong Hui: âŚ
âYouâre such a great brother to me!â Ji Yuan chuckled. âIt is a good thing that I have met you here.â
Shen Qin smiled bitterly, âThis is for sure. So I can go now?â
Ji Yuan took an intentional look at him before grinning. âNot yet. There is something that we ought to do together before I will let you go.â
Shen Qin pretended to agree, âNaturally it is my pleasure to help Brother Li Yuan. What is it?â
âIt is nothing really and will be easy for Brother Shen Qin to do so.â Ji Yuan laughed aloud before grinning. âWe are going to attack the branches of the other three major unorthodox clans together.â
When Ji Yuan had said that, Shen Qin almost fainted on the spot as he stammered. âWeâŚareâŚgoing to make enemiesâŚof the three other major unorthodox clans?â
Even Ling Feiyue and the other maidens were gasping with shock. They really did not know that Ji Yuan will be this shameless and daring!
They had all thought that this was just a romantic trip to spend time togetherâŚ
Ji Yuan patted Shen Qin on his shoulder, âWhat? You have dared to offend the Spirit Blue Moon Sect and you dare not offend the three other major unorthodox clans?â
Shen Qin was smiling bitterly now; he was completely speechless.
Even if he was not willing to throw his lot with the Spirit Blue Moon Sect, he would not have the choice anymore after he had attacked the three major unorthodox clans. This Ji Yuan was forcing him to throw his lot with the Spirit Blue Moon Sect completely!
Ji Yuan laughed, âSince Brother Shen Qin had already said that it will be your pleasure to help me then letâs not hesitate anymore. After I get the jewelries for my consorts, we will attack the other three major unorthodox clans immediately.â
Shen Qin smiled awkwardly, âNaturally it is my full pleasure to aid Brother Li YuanâŚâ
Ji Yuan laughed, âBrother Shen Qin, Iâm so lucky to have you as my brother.â
âMe tooâŚâ Shen Qin replied bitterly. âVery lucky indeedâŚ.â
Ling Feiyue was blinking her eyes as she looked panicky at Ji Yuan. Is this really such a good idea? What if we have offended the other unorthodox major clans at the same time? Then wonât we be fighting on all fronts?
â
â
â
A short while later at the Dark Solstice Sect Branch;
âWhat? A beardless cultivator that claims to be Sword Demon Ji Yuan and a cultivator that claims to be the Young Master Shen Qin are attacking us? Haha. This must be the funniest thing that we have ever heard.â
âThey canât even get past our defensive arraysâŚâ
âThey must be courting their own deaths!â
âPlease send someone with a beard. HahaâŚâ
A while laterâŚ
âMerciful great heroes, we surrenderâŚâ
âYou beardless son of a bastardâŚâ
Ji Yuan frowned, âWho the ones that have no beards? Shave off all your beards.â
âYes, yesâŚâ
âGreat Hero, please let us goâŚâ
Ji Yuan grinned. âSure I can let you go. Come join me to attack the other two major unorthodox clans.â
Everyone: âŚ
Everyone: âŚ
Everyone: âŚ
â
â
â
A while later at the Black Iron Fortress Branch;
âWhat? We are under attack by the Spirit Blue Moon Sect, the Astonishing Sword Manor and the Dark Solstice Sect?âđ§đ¸đ˝đŽđđđxt.đđđ
âThis means war!â
âHow audacious! We have never crossed each otherâs paths. How dare they attack us!â
âThey must be courting their own deathsâŚâ
âIf we donât teach them a bloody lesson today, then we are not the heroes of the fraternity but are tortoises and pigsâŚ.â
âWe surrenderâŚâ
âPlease spare us great heroesâŚâ
Yuan Ji grinned. âCome and join me to attack the Quad Alliance Sect.â
â
â
â
A while later at the Quad Alliance Sect Branch;
âWho that idiot that is attacking us?â
âMust be some idiots. They didnât know that the Quad Alliance Sect is the most powerful of the five major unorthodox clans?â
âWhat? We are being attacked by the other four major unorthodox clans? Did they form a quad alliance or what?!â
âKill them allâŚâ
âGreat hero, please show some mercies to usâŚâ
Ji Yuan chuckled, âIf you value your lives then join us as we attack the lesser celestial clans in the city.â
Everyone: âŚ
Everyone: âŚ
Everyone: âŚ
Ling Feiyue was shaking her head with disbelief. This is going to be a total diplomacy failure even without trying. She really did not know how to clean this mess anymoreâŚ
â
â
â
Hours later;
The news quickly spread that the five major unorthodox clans were bullying all the other celestial clans in Mayhem Rising City. Immediately several coalitions were formed to fight back against the five major unorthodox clans and all the old alliances were suddenly broken.
Many of the unorthodox cultivators were looking confused. âI thought that we have paid our protection money to the major unorthodox clans? Why are they attacking us?â
âI heard that Sword Demon Ji Yuan and Young Master Shen Qin have formed a powerful alliance together and they are bullying the restâŚâ
âThe unorthodox fraternity is now in a turmoilâŚâ
âJi Yuan, what have you doneâŚâ Ling Feiyue said to him after they had returned to the Spirit Blue Moon Sect.
Xue Qianxue asked, âJi Yuan, so this is your real plan to get the other unorthodox clans to join us?â
Little Princess smiled weakly, âI feel that the Spirit Blue Moon Sect will soon be the number one public enemy in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity.â
Ji Yuan muttered weakly, âI also didnât want this to happen but that Shen Qin is trying to green me. My defense mechanics just got kicked in.â
âBut at least that Young Master Shen Qin is going to be our real ally now.â He chuckled.
Ling Feiyue, Xue Qianxue, Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng: âŚ
Indeed. When Shen Qin had returned to his sect, he did not dare to tell anyone that he had been intimidated by Ji Yuan. Therefore to save his face, he could only say to the elders that the other three major unorthodox clans had been stepping on the toes of the Astonishing Sword Manor for far too long. Therefore he had ordered an attack on them.
Because he knew that the Astonishing Sword Manor will not able to fight off three major unorthodox clans at the same time, he had really thrown in his lot with the Spirit Blue Moon Sect this time round.
