Chapter 143

Jing Wuming was a man of few words. Compared to verbal persuasion, he was more adept at using words and reasoning to convince people.

He wouldn’t have bothered to speak if Shangguan Fei hadn’t been courting death himself.

He naturally saw through Shangguan Haitang’s sinister intentions, but he didn’t care about a good-for-nothing like Shangguan Fei. He also knew Shangguan Jin Hong’s true identity and who his successor was; Shangguan Jin Hong was just a target in the open.

It’s all Shangguan Fei’s fault for choosing to be a useless piece of trash.

Shangguan Fei was naturally furious, but he also knew his father’s instructions and that Jing Wuming was giving him a way out. Otherwise, if he really accepted Shangguan Haitang’s sword, it would undoubtedly bring trouble to the Money Gang.

Neither Zhang Lingyu nor the Sword-Eating Ancestor could afford to offend either of them; either of them could even ruin their family’s important affairs.

Shangguan Fei was well aware of how terrifying that princess was. Although she was not a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, she had reached the same level as his father, the leader of the gang, and was now at the pinnacle of the martial arts world. With no Grandmasters around, she was the most outstanding existence in the martial arts world.

Jiang Biehe, who had been looking for an opportunity to ease the tension between father and daughter, finally got his chance. He immediately stepped forward, acting like a master of drama and a movie star, and questioned Shangguan Fei and Jing Wuming in a fatherly manner: “I had no idea that your Money Gang was invited today. Look at the state of the martial arts world in Jiangnan that your Money Gang has been wreaking havoc on recently. Yu Yan is my daughter, Jiang Biehe’s daughter. She is not someone your Money Gang can bully.”

As Jiang Biehe spoke, he looked at his daughter Jiang Yuyan with tenderness, reassuring her with a fatherly expression of love: “Yuyan, don’t be afraid. With your father here, I will never let those petty scoundrels from the Money Gang make things difficult for you.”

Shangguan Haitang’s expression was very strange at this moment, as if she saw the shadow of another person in Jiang Biehe. That person was Yue Buqun, the new leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, who was as famous as Jiang Biehe and the head of the Huashan Sword Sect.

Is Jiang Yuyan in danger?

Don’t be ridiculous. In the entire Money Gang, apart from the gang leader Shangguan Jin Hong, who is her match? Even if Shangguan Jin Hong dares to make a move, do you think Yao Yue and Lian Xing are both dead?

She’s already being kind by not bullying others; who would dare to bully her?

Jiang Biehe only dared to step forward because he knew there was little risk involved. If it were something that even the Yihua Palace couldn’t afford to offend, do you think he would have stepped forward?

However, the disdainful looks from everyone present made Shangguan Fei very embarrassed. He retorted angrily, his face turning red, “Uncle Jiang, you misunderstand. I was only attracted by Miss Yu Yan and wanted to get to know her. I have no other improper thoughts.”

“Hahaha, what a joke! What are you, the Money Gang, that you dare to associate with my daughter? You are not welcome here, and neither is the Jiang family. Others may fear your Money Gang, but I, Jiang Biehe, am not.”

“I’m not afraid to tell you, I will soon convene a martial arts conference with the major families and renowned martial arts masters of Jiangnan to jointly confront your Money Gang. We will absolutely not allow the Money Gang to wreak havoc on the Jiangnan martial arts world and disrupt our peace.”

“Well said! I support you, Master Jiang.”

“As expected of the great hero of Jiangnan, he is indeed a chivalrous person. The good days of the Money Gang are over.”

“Get out! You Money Gang members aren’t welcome here!”

“Get out of here!!!”

…

Just like Yue Buqun before him, Jiang Biehe stood up at this time to denounce the Money Gang, which won him a round of applause and the support and response of everyone.

The main Money Gang is really too powerful and domineering. It directly broke the original balance, forcibly planted its flag, and tried to dominate the entire southern martial arts world. It truly is a case of “those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish,” and it has all kinds of perverse and rebellious actions.

Of course, the Money Gang is indeed powerful enough that no one dares to step forward and take the lead. Now that Jiang Biehe has stepped forward and acted so righteously and benevolently, he has naturally gained countless fans.

Putting everything else aside, Hua Wuque, that hothead, is just like in the original drama, actually believing Jiang Biehe’s nonsense.

After all, he was his junior sister’s biological father, a renowned martial arts master, so he had a natural bias. Moreover, he had indeed heard a lot about the evil deeds of the Money Gang, which were even worse than those of the Sun Moon Cult.

“Damn it, don’t be so stubborn. You really think you’re something special. In the martial arts world, skill is everything. If your skills aren’t up to par, no matter how famous you are, it’s useless. If you’re so capable, then compete with me, Shangguan Fei, and let me see how powerful you are as a Jiangnan hero.”

Jiang Biehe’s martial arts skills are not bad. Because of Jiang Feng, he obtained the secret manual of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill from Yan Nantian (Yan Nantian passed it on to Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng could not bear the pain after only cultivating to the third level and threw it to his page Jiang Qin). Although it was not the complete version, Jiang Biehe successfully cultivated to the sixth level after twenty years of hard work.

However, because he doesn’t understand how to disperse his internal energy and is reluctant to pass it on to others, every time he uses his internal energy, it is extremely painful, as if a thousand arrows are piercing his heart and he is being torn apart. Therefore, he will generally avoid taking action if possible and will try his best to act submissive.

But this time was different, and Shangguan Fei was clearly a spoiled rich kid. Such a young master had limited skills, so this was the best way to make a strong impression. So I agreed.

Why wouldn’t you want free experience packs and reputation cards?

Shangguan Fei first learned the Dragon and Phoenix Rings. Such a unique weapon is naturally very difficult to master. He had limited talent and not enough perseverance, so he later went to practice swordsmanship. Although he sought out many famous sword masters to learn from, he was still only a half-baked swordsman, only at the fifth rank in the martial arts world. He was neither a great nor a great swordsman, and was not as good as some of the leaders of the Money Gang.

This is also why Shangguan Jin Hong looked down on this guy, ignored him, and instead focused on raising her daughter.

Shangguan Jin Hong was a true ruthless and ambitious man. The two words he most admired were “Things will stand firm if they are focused, and fail if they are not focused” and “You reap what you sow.”

The reason why the Money Gang was able to become so powerful in just two years (according to the original novel) was not due to luck.

Before the Money Gang was even established, it had thoroughly investigated the backgrounds and details of every slightly famous person in the martial arts world, demonstrating that it had made ample preparations long ago.

Jiang Biehe had followed Yan Nantian and Jiang Feng around. He might not be good at other things, but his sharp eyesight was something else entirely. Naturally, he quickly saw through Shangguan Fei’s weakness.

Not only is his skill shallow, but his lower body is also unstable. He has clearly been misled by wine and women, and his foundation is unstable. He is a complete waste of a person. One palm strike is enough to deal with such a weakling.
