Chapter 144: That Li Ming, leave it to me

Since Yu Huatian had asserted so, even if the two heroes of the You family still had doubts in their hearts, they could not say anything and could only nod in agreement.

The original purpose of the two of them convening the Heroes Conference was actually simple. Just as it was written on the invitation, it was to call on their fellow martial artists to deal with the evil villain Qiao Feng, and at the same time discuss how they, the martial artists, should deal with the relentless pressure from the imperial court.

But not long ago, people from the Western Factory suddenly broke into their inner residence without anyone noticing, and then the whole family was taken under control.

Among the villagers of Juxian Manor, the spies from the Western Factory had infiltrated at some point.

Under pressure at the time, the two heroes of the You family wanted to resist, but they soon felt the huge gap between the two sides.

Ma Jinliang, the head of the Western Factory, easily subdued the two of them. Taking their lives would have been a piece of cake.

But the other party obviously did not mean that and just wanted to take them captive.

Immediately afterwards, the two heroes of the You family followed Ma Jinliang's awe-filled and somewhat fanatical gaze and saw the peerless governor of the Western Factory.

Generally speaking, the two would only use the word "beautiful" to describe women, but after they met Yu Huatian, they felt that the legendary governor had a feminine yet luxurious aura that they had never seen in all their years of wandering the world!
They had never thought that there was a man who could be so gorgeous and elegant. It even made the two of them, who had never paid much attention to appearance, feel ashamed for the first time - although strictly speaking, Yu Huatian was not a complete man.

The oppressive feeling that Yu Huatian brought to the two made them completely give up the will to resist. It seemed that with the opponent's strength, he could crush them to death with just a slight movement of his fingers.

After meeting the two of them, Yu Huatian expressed his purpose.

According to Yu Huatian, it would only be a piece of cake for the West Factory to destroy Juxianzhuang. Juxianzhuang might have some reputation in the world, but it was nothing to Yu Huatian.

However, Yu Huatian was more interested in the heroes' conference they were holding this time.

At the beginning, even the two heroes of the You family might not have thought that the hero conference they convened would receive so many responses from their fellow martial artists.

Those who have already responded and confirmed that they will come include famous sects such as Shaolin, Emei, Kongtong, etc.

Not to mention the other mixed forces in the underworld, there are many people who respond.

It just so happened that both the East and West Factories and the Hulong Villa had recently received divine instructions intending to rectify the martial arts world. Yu Huatian keenly captured this and thought that this was a perfect opportunity.

It would be much better to wait until all these gangsters gather together and then catch them all in one fell swoop than to look for them one by one.

Therefore, Yu Huatian approached the two heroes of the You family and asked them to cooperate with him.

When the two heroes of the You family heard his plan, they were reluctant to agree at first.

Because once this kind of thing happens, they will be accomplices of the Western Factory in slaughtering their fellow martial artists. Just thinking about it, you can imagine what kind of infamy they will bear. I guess the people in the martial arts world will spit at them to death.

The two men still wanted to act tough and would rather die than surrender, but Yu Huatian ordered his men to pull over You Ju's beloved son You Tanzhi, stripped off his pants, and threatened them sinisterly that he would turn You Tanzhi into a eunuch like the others in the Western Factory.

In this regard, the Western Factory's men have extremely rich experience.

The two heroes of the You family immediately lost their temper and surrendered, expressing their willingness to cooperate with Yu Huatian.

That's why this scene happened.

After controlling the two heroes of the You family, Yu Huatian sent a group of people, disguised as servants and farmhands of Juxian Manor, to control everyone here.

Some farmhands who discovered some clues were killed in time.

The members of the You family were poisoned by Yu Huatian. In addition, the women and children in the family were all under his control, so there was no need to worry that the two heroes of the You family would not be disobedient.

The people sent by Yu Huatian all had strength ranging from the peak of the acquired realm to the innate realm.

So many masters disguised as servants of Juxian Manor would naturally arouse suspicion, so Yu Huatian asked them to take the unique elixir of the Western Factory in advance.

After taking it, their own strength will not be affected. As long as they do not mobilize their true energy to fight others, their cultivation level will be hidden. Even if a master or a grand master investigates them, they will only think they are ordinary people with no strength and will not be able to know their true level.

But if they get into a fight with others, the effect of the elixir will become ineffective, so Yu Huatian ordered the two heroes of the You family to pay more attention and try to avoid this situation.

The lives of the entire family are in the hands of the other party. The two heroes of the You family have already accepted their fate and dare not have any thoughts of resistance.

Moreover, in recent times, they have witnessed the preparations and arrangements made by the other party in Juxian Manor, and have intuitively felt the power of the imperial court!
This time, the operation was not carried out by the West Factory alone, but for the first time, the East and West Factories cooperated with each other.

There were dozens of innate realm masters who appeared in their village alone, and hundreds of acquired realm masters, not to mention those who were hiding in the dark and not visible to them.

They don’t have the ability to see through the strong people above the Grandmaster level, but they estimate that there are quite a few of them.

Recently, a tight net has been set up near Juxianzhuang without leaving any traces.

The two felt that with such a careful arrangement, any warrior who wanted to come to Juxian Manor this time would probably be in trouble.

They will definitely not be able to survive in the martial arts world after cooperating with the Western Factory to deal with so many fellow martial artists. They can only fantasize that a big shot like Yu Huatian will keep his word and give them freedom and let them live in hiding in other places.

Originally, Yu Huatian had arranged everything step by step, but when he heard that Li Ming, the master of Qianming Martial Arts School, also appeared here, he couldn't help but become interested. He asked the two heroes of the You family to entertain him wholeheartedly and arranged for people to observe him secretly.

Obviously, Yu Huatian was very interested in the situation of Master Li.

After listening to the reports from the two heroes of the You family, Yu Huatian waved his hand.

Ma Jinliang, the head of the Western Factory, shouted at the side: "Get lost!"

The two heroes of the You family were angry but dared not say anything, so they could only retreat silently.

As soon as he went out, two Xiantian realm masters disguised as servants of Juxian Manor immediately closed the door and stood guard at the door.

The two heroes of the You family could only leave with long sighs.

In the attic, Yu Huatian sipped his tea gently while Ma Jinliang reported beside him.

"Master, according to our observations, among the nine disciples brought by Li Ming, there are actually four in the Xiantian realm!"

Ma Jinliang said this with a confused look on his face: "We knew about Lin Pingzhi in advance. The other two were named Kong Wu and Zhou Zhenfei. We had some research data on these two people before, but not much. Their strength improvement speed far exceeded our expectations."

"Being able to soar all the way to the Xiantian realm within a year of joining Qianming Martial Arts School, this can no longer be explained by their extraordinary talent. It seems that the rumors in the martial arts world are true. Li Ming does have a secret method that can quickly improve one's realm."

When Ma Jinliang said this, a greedy look flashed in his eyes, and then he continued.

"What surprised us the most was his new female disciple Jiang Yuyan. Our people have repeatedly observed and confirmed that she now has the strength of the late Xiantian realm! This is totally impossible!"

When Ma Jinliang was telling this news, he felt it was a bit ridiculous.

“Only two months ago, Jiang Yuyan was just a poor woman wandering around the world. She didn’t have any martial arts skills at all. She was sold to a restaurant and then redeemed by Li Ming and accepted as his disciple. No matter how gifted she was, it was impossible for her to improve so quickly!” As Ma Jinliang spoke, Yu Huatian stopped holding the teacup, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a solemn look flashed across his face.

Yu Huatian would never have believed this kind of news if it had not been told by his confidant Ma Jinliang himself.

But since Ma Jinliang dared to report it to him, it meant that it had been repeatedly confirmed.

"This is interesting..." Yu Huatian murmured.

Ma Jinliang observed the governor's expression and continued to report.

"Master, there is actually more interesting news. We have sent people to investigate the identity of Jiang Yuyan in detail and found that her background is not ordinary. She is the illegitimate daughter of Jiang Biehe, who is well-known in the martial arts world! She has been looking for her biological father for many years until she ended up in Qixia Town..."

"Is there such a thing?"

Yu Huatian had obviously also heard of Jiang Biehe's name.

"We have sent someone to confirm it. It is absolutely true."

Yu Huatian groaned, "Jiang Biehe, I remember that he seems to have a good relationship with Liu Xi, the deputy supervisor of the East Factory. How about this, when we take action next, don't hurt Jiang Yuyan. Let's capture her alive. Maybe she can be of some value to me."

"Yes!"

Ma Jinliang accepted the order.

Although this operation was a joint effort of their East and West factories, the internal fighting between the two factories was still fierce, and they both disliked each other.

Jiang Yuyan's cultivation progress is so fast, and she also has such a relationship with the East Factory. Yu Huatian will definitely find a way to use her and will not let her go easily.

But Ma Jinliang couldn't help asking again.

"Master, we didn't expect that Li Ming would really leave Qixia Town to attend the Heroes Conference. He has the ability to kill Blood Knife Patriarch and masters like Jing Wuming. When we take action, who can stop him?"

Yu Huatian glanced at Ma Jinliang and said in a faint voice: "Don't worry about this. Leave Li Ming to me."

"Yes!"

Ma Jinliang nodded in agreement.

In fact, there was still some worry in his eyes, and he thought to himself, even if the governor himself came out, he might not be his opponent, right?
But he didn't dare to say such words out loud and could only keep them in his heart.

the next day……

Juxian Manor became bustling early in the morning. The Heroes Conference was about to be held, and a large number of martial artists showed up in the last one or two days.

The two heroes of the You family appeared in everyone's sight again. They had returned to normal. There was nothing unusual in their expressions. They warmly entertained everyone.

As soon as Li Ming and his disciples appeared, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Although many people wanted to get close to Li Ming yesterday and were turned down, they still did not give up and were thinking about how they could get to know the famous Master Li.

Not long after Li Ming and his disciples sat down, Juxian Manor became lively.

The first to arrive were the masters from Kongtong Sect.

Next came the members of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, including the Five Mountains leader Mo Xiaobei, followed by old acquaintances.

Although Mo Xiaobei is young, she has a high status and no one dares to neglect her.

The two heroes of the You family welcomed them warmly.

After entering Juxianzhuang, Mo Xiaobei and others soon saw Li Ming.

Mo Xiaobei is a playful person, but she has been working with Mr. Mo Da recently. She is surrounded by elders who are several years older than her. They keep using their status as the leader of the Five Mountains to ask her to be steady in her words and deeds. Mo Xiaobei has long been impatient.

Now that he saw his master, Mo Xiaobei couldn't wait to come over and say hello, but was immediately stopped by Li Ming's eyes.

Although they are master and disciple, in front of so many people, Mo Xiaobei, the leader of the Five Mountains, represents the face of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, so there is no need for him to interact with him.

Mo Xiaobei had no choice but to pout and sit with Mr. Mo Da and the others.

"Emei Sect, it's Master Miejue from the Emei Sect who is here!"

The people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect had just sat down when, accompanied by the voices of the curious, everyone looked towards the gate of Juxian Manor again, and their eyes lit up to varying degrees.

Because all the people sent by Emei were women, except for the elderly Nun Miejue who was walking in the front, holding the sword of the Heavenly Sword, with a face as cold as ice, the rest of the women were all beautiful and very eye-catching.

Although Li Ming didn't know them, he looked at them a few more times and heard the sound of people talking around him.

"That one is Ding Minjun. The one next to her is Zhou Zhiruo from the Emei Sect. She is indeed very pretty."

To these warriors who have been fighting in the martial arts world for years, these women from the Emei Sect are like fairies, and many of them drool at the sight of them.

However, their lustful looks did not last long, as they were glared back at by Master Miejue with an icy gaze.

Everyone knew that this old nun was not easy to mess with, especially the sword in her hand. They all immediately became much more obedient and dared not stare at the people from the Emei Sect anymore.

“By the way, didn’t Dugu Yihe from the Emei Sect come?” someone asked.

"I heard that Dugu Yihe joined the Emei Sect later and was not a direct disciple of the previous leader. His martial arts are also different from those of the Emei Sect. He is currently in seclusion to study martial arts. It is estimated that he will not appear in the martial arts world in the short term."

The two heroes of the You family finally arranged all the people from the Emei Sect, and then the high monks from Shaolin arrived.

Two bald old monks walked in surrounded by a crowd of people, and Li Ming immediately realized that they were all old acquaintances.

They were the two old monks Xuan Nan and Xuan Ji.

Xuan Nan seemed to have recovered a long time ago, and there was no sign of injury on his body. His strength was even better than when he fought Li Ming before. He still had a sullen face and looked like he was not someone you would mess with, but he was much more restrained than before.

As soon as he entered the door, Xuan Nan saw Li Ming in the crowd at first sight and his face changed slightly.

At the same time, the scene of himself being seriously injured by Li Ming's sword last time emerged in his mind.

The aura of destruction and death contained in that sword is still fresh in his memory.
