Guan Yujia directly went to the main topic, and the hall immediately fell silent.
The originally nervous sect masters became quiet at this moment. The fear in their eyes disappeared and turned into dissatisfaction.
After all, the sect masters’ original guess was that in order to escape the investigation of the Imperial Court, Guan Yujia wanted to drag them in to cause trouble and put pressure on the Imperial Court so that the Imperial Court wouldn’t punish the masses.
Although this matter was very risky, due to Guan Yujia’s tyrannical strength, it wasn’t impossible for them to brace themselves and help.
But Guan Yujia wanted to drag in the twelve sects of Wu Province to rebel together. The key was that the Prince of Wu’s rebellion had already failed. He was purely dragging them in to die together.
When Guanghan Lin heard these crazy words, anger immediately appeared on his face. “Guan Yujia! You have taken root in Wu Province’s Jianghu. We regard you as our leader, so we’ve risked being raided by the Imperial Court to come here today to discuss countermeasures with you. By saying this, are you planning to make the twelve sects of Wu Province lose everything and become scapegoats of the Prince of Wu?”
The other sect masters also patted the tea tables.
“Manor Lord Guan, your martial arts skills are outstanding. We do admire you, but with just a word, you’re asking us to lose everything and die. You don’t have the ability.”
Guan Yujia stood in the center of the hall and looked at everyone. Just as he was about to flare up, Ye Silang spoke again. “Seniors, don’t be angry. Since Manor Lord Guan has said this, he will definitely consider your difficulties. 1 wonder what bargaining chips the Prince of Wu has prepared in exchange for the various sects’ help? Manor Lord Guan, although 1 admire your chivalry, the Red Flower Pavilion is a business. If you don’t have enough chips, the pavilion won’t agree to my reckless actions.”
When the various sects heard this, they really fell silent and looked at Guan Yujia.
If the Prince of Wu wanted the twelve sects to help him escape secretly, he must have made preparations.
Using poison to control them and using the antidote to threaten them was one possibility. The second was to tempt them with heavy benefits. Otherwise, with only threats and no benefits, these sect masters knew that if they helped, it would be a close brush with death, and they would rather die than submit.
Seeing that the sect masters were interested in Ye Silang’s words, Guan Yujia sat back in his chair. “The Prince of Wu has countless assets. As long as you can lend a helping hand at this time, the reward you can receive will definitely far exceed your expectations. 1 believe everyone knows about this medicine called the Snow Lake Flower. Many elders from the big sects are even searching hard for it. The apothecaries under the Prince of Wu have now developed a substitute called Snow Lake Powder, and its medicinal effect is no different from the Snow Lake Flower. You can have as much as you want.”
H ii
The sect masters frowned, feeling that this bargaining chip was not small, but most of them had no use for it for the time being. It didn’t seem worth betting everything they had on it.
Guan Yujia had been disturbed by Ye Jingtang, turning the originally tense atmosphere into a serious discussion. But it was really not appropriate for him to get angry.
Seeing that many sect masters were still waiting for more chips, Guan Yujia could only consider for a moment and continue, “The Prince of Wu has also developed a secret medicine that can expand your meridians and let you be reborn. For example, Elder Guanghan, if you take this medicine, you will become a Martial Chief in a short time. Everyone, you can also take a big step forward. It’s not impossible for you to reach the summit of martial arts in the future. It’s also because of this medicine that I’ve worked for the Prince of Wu until now.”
“What?!”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the sect masters were clearly moved. Even Guanghan Lin, who was frowning, looked a little surprised.
Everyone in Jianghu wanted to experience the scenery at the top of the mountain. Most of the people present were figures who dominated a region, but they were destined to never reach the summit of martial arts in their lives. If there was really something outside the Roaring Dragon Chart that could bring about a turnaround, most of them would probably be willing to bet their wealth.
After everyone looked at each other, one of the sect masters asked, “Does the Prince of Wu really have such a divine item?”
Guan Yujia knew that the Heavenly Carnelian Bead would definitely tempt the sect masters, but the Prince of Wu didn’t have it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have landed in such a situation.
Guan Yujia deliberated for a moment and said, “Yes, but the method to concoct such a divine medicine is too complicated. We’re still testing the medicine at the moment. As long as the test succeeds, I can guarantee that every sect master can have one.”
When the sect masters heard this, they naturally frowned. The Prince of Wu didn’t have anything now but still asked them to help him escape. If they wanted the medicine, they could only run away with him. If they ran away, they might not be able to get it. Wasn’t this a joke?
When Guan Yujia saw everyone hesitate, his voice turned colder. “1 guarantee with my head that the Prince of Wu does have this medicine. I’ve already said this much. If everyone can agree to help, everyone will be happy. If not…”
Crack!
Guan Yujia’s right hand moved slightly, and the chair emitted a soft sound. The mahogany armrest actually turned into sawdust under his fingers.
When the sect masters saw Guan Yujia’s coercion, they fell silent at the same time, and the atmosphere became even tenser.
Guanghan Lin was an elder of Wu Province’s Jianghu. He knew that if he allowed Guan Yujia to do whatever he wanted, the entire Wu Province’s Jianghu would probably be wiped out from the world. He said coldly, “Guan Yujia, you… cough…”
As Guanghan Lin spoke, he stood up, but his legs went limp halfway. He sat back down and realized that his body had unknowingly gone limp. He was furious.. “You little bastard, you poisoned me?!”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall. Many sect masters wanted to circulate their qi and stand up, but they realized that their bodies had unknowingly been poisoned. Only two sect masters who were timid and didn’t dare to drink tea were still safe and sound.
When Ye Jingtang saw this scene, he was secretly shocked. However, although he had occasionally picked up the teacup, he couldn’t drink it with his face covered, so there was nothing wrong with his body.
As for the direct disciples and trusted aides standing behind the various sect masters, when they saw that something had happened to the sect masters, they all drew their weapons as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Countless Iron River Villa disciples, who sensed that the situation wasn’t right, ran over with their weapons in hand.
Sha!Sha!Sha!
The outside of the hall instantly fell into chaos.
When Guan Yujia saw that most of the experts had been struck by the Dark Fragrance Corrosion Bone, a cold expression appeared on his face. “So what if I poisoned you? I’ll give you face one last time. If you agree now, the Prince of Wu will still give you what you deserve, and we will still be friends in the future. If you don’t agree…”
Bain!
Before he finished his sentence, Guan Yujia’s figure brazenly exploded in order to make an example out of Guanghan Lin.
Many sect masters only saw a blur in their vision. Guan Yujia had already leaped in front of the Three Absolutes Elderly Immortal with lightning speed. His right hand stretched out five fingers like a hook, and like an eagle pouncing on a rabbit, his claw grabbed at the forehead of the white-haired old man.
The Three Absolutes Elderly Immortal’s pupils constricted. He had been in Jianghu for his entire life and could still react, but he was poisoned by a colorless and odorless strange poison. He couldn’t even raise his hand, so how could he block Guan Yujia? His heart immediately turned ashen, and he could only helplessly watch…
… watch Guan Yujia fly away!
Boom!
The fist in the hall wreaked havoc, and a thunderous explosion sounded!
At the same time that Guan Yujia pounced forward, the chair under Ye Jingtang exploded. His right leg slid out horizontally, and his right hand punched
