Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Xing Hun is actually quite eloquent, but on the one hand his emotions interfere with his ability to organize language, and on the other hand even when he is most eloquent he is trying to reason with people instead of attacking their physical defects.

Facing Tianming's criticism, Xinghun could only frown and remain silent.

Neither his past nor his present identity allowed him to argue with a little kid who hadn't even grown all his hair yet.

"Do you dare to kill him?" After a moment's silence, Xing Hun asked with a sneer.

"The Yin-Yang School and the Mohist School are century-old enemies. Why shouldn't I dare to kill him?" Tianming looked as if he was joking.

If Tianming hadn't been concerned about Shilan's brother, he would have killed her and run away.

As for the consequences of Yun Zhongjun's death as mentioned by Gu Xun, he didn't care.

No matter what the consequences are, the people of the Yin-Yang School will be the first to bear them.

Xinghun laughed more and more wildly and wantonly, "What about your original purpose? You don't care about the remnants of Shushan?"

Obviously, Xing Hun knew very well the purpose of Tianming and his companions' repeated adventures to climb the Mirage - but he probably didn't know that Tianming already knew about the past events, and that his purpose was not only to save people, but also to seek revenge.

Tianming has the leverage to threaten Xinghun, and Xinghun can of course use Tianming's demands to coerce him in return.

Hearing Xinghun's words, Tianming's eyes lit up and he kicked Yunzhongjun, "Do you know where the person is?"

"If you know that, that would be perfect. One person for one."

"Do you think you can still escape?" Xing Hun asked back.

Tianming spread his hands, "Why not? I have a hostage!"

"You said one person for one person, and you can only replace one person." Xinghun replied coldly, "If you replace the person, can you still get away?"

Tianming grinned, "Then I definitely can't do it here. I have to find a safe place to exchange hostages."

"You're asking for too much." Xing Hun replied coldly with his hands behind his back.

"So what?" Tianming didn't care. He stepped on Yun Zhongjun's stomach, making the old man look like he was going to die. "People have different values."

"This old guy is much more important to you than the person I want is to me."

If Tianming fails to rescue people, the worst that can happen is that he will find another opportunity.

Even if they failed completely, Shi Lan's brother was killed by the Yin-Yang family in a fit of rage. For Tian Ming and Shi Lan, it was just one more grudge that needed to be settled.

In the final analysis, the man was killed by the Yin-Yang School, and Tianming would not take the blame on himself.

But if Yun Zhongjun died... Tianming didn't know what the specific consequences would be, but judging from the fact that Gu Xun specifically reminded him of this, everyone on this ship would be in trouble, and big trouble!

If the negotiations break down, both sides will have to pay a price, and Tianming will suffer mainly mental trauma, while Xinghun will most likely suffer death... It goes without saying which is more serious.

So Tianming acted as if he had completely controlled Xinghun, not caring about the pace of the negotiations at all, and just being tough.

Xinghun's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he wished he could kill her alive. His voice was as cold as the winter wind, "I hate it most when people threaten me!"

"It's best if you hate me." Tianming almost laughed until his mouth stretched to his ears when he heard this.

Who the hell cares whether you, the enemy, are annoying or not!

It would be better to say that the unhappier Xinghun is, the happier Tianming is.

If Tianming fails to disgust Xinghun, he will actually suffer a loss.

The Star Soul Fang squeaked, and the air blade flickered in his palm, as if he was ready to attack at any time.

Tianming saw this and passed Shengxie to Yunzhongjun's throat, looking happy, "Come on, if you want to do it, hurry up!"

He was well prepared. If Xinghun dared to take action, he would kill.

And Xinghun...really doesn't dare to gamble.

Tianming’s judgment was absolutely correct. Xinghun could not afford the consequences of Yun Zhongjun’s accident, or he didn’t know whether he could bear it.

Xing Hun's attitude towards Yun Zhongjun has always been ambiguous. On the one hand, he really needs Yun Zhongjun, and Yun Zhongjun is very loyal to him - in terms of attitude. On the other hand, he hates Yun Zhongjun from the bottom of his heart, so he always has bad intentions in his heart.

The reason for disliking Yun Zhongjun is related to the identities and status of both parties.

According to the rules of Yin-Yang family, a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. As a guardian, Xing Hun's status is theoretically definitely higher than that of the elder Yun Zhongjun, just like the other elders of the five tribes.

But the biggest rules in the world are not the rules of the Yin-Yang School, but the rules of the empire, or the rules of the emperor.

Of course, the emperor’s rules are not necessarily the biggest rules. After all, Ying Zheng is not omnipotent, and he cannot make his words come true.

However, the rules of the Yin-Yang School must be subordinate to the emperor's rules.

For Ying Zheng, there are many things he values ​​and many people he cares about on the Mirage.

Yun Zhongjun is one of them, but Xinghun...is obviously not among them.

For the emperor, the death of ten thousand star souls would be fine, but nothing could happen to Yun Zhongjun, at least not at this time.

Xinghun is just a nominal title holder of the imperial guardian, and his status is higher than that of Yunzhongjun.

Whether Xing Hun is willing to admit it or not, the reality is this - if something happens to Yun Zhongjun, Ying Zheng, who has just experienced a life-and-death moment, will definitely not let Xing Hun have a good ending.

Xinghun replied with obvious annoyance in his tone, "I don't know where the person is, so we can't exchange him!"

This is the truth.

Having said that, Xing Hun had no choice but to lose face. If he knew where the person was, he would definitely not mind making a deal to end this mess as soon as possible.

But he only knew that Tianming's target was the remnant of Shushan captured by Yun Zhongjun, and he didn't know where Yun Zhongjun hid the person.

Maybe we can find out the approximate range, but it will probably take a lot of time to find the person.

"Then I have to take him away and let him go after I find out where he is." Tianming did not doubt it and immediately changed his purpose.

Xinghun replied without thinking, "That's impossible! Otherwise, just do it!"

The tone was aggressive and sounded like there was no room for compromise.

Tianming looked at Yun Zhongjun on the ground, who was breathing in more than out.

This old Deng looks very dangerous, as if he is hanging on by one breath, but actually it is not that serious.

After all, he is a top master. Even if he is the weakest one among his classmates, he is much more resilient than ordinary people.

He is just unconscious now, and his wounds are no longer bleeding. He will be fine when he wakes up - of course, if we leave him alone, he will definitely die.

"I won't let anyone go until they are rescued." Tianming raised his head and responded to Xinghun.

Xing Hun looked at him coldly without saying a word.

What he just said is still the truth.

There was no problem for him to exchange Brother Shi Lan for Yun Zhongjun, except for the embarrassment, but letting Yun Zhongjun be taken away by Tianming was another matter.

Even if he risked Yun Zhongjun being killed on the spot and Ying Zheng being furious, he could not let Tianming take the person away.

Seeing that Xinghun had no intention of negotiating, Tianming knew that this matter was indeed not negotiable.

He didn't care because he didn't think he could take Yun Zhongjun away.

Yun Zhongjun died, and the first person to bear the consequences was Xing Hun, the Yin-Yang Family member on the ship. But if the person was taken away by him, he would most likely be the first to bear the consequences.

Tianming doesn't want to cause more trouble now.

After thinking about it, he didn't argue with Xinghun. He bent down and gave Yun Zhongjun a few big slaps.

While beating him, he explained to Xinghun, "Since no one is willing to give in, we have no choice but to wake him up first."

Xinghun's eyelids twitched as he watched, and the murderous intent in his heart kept rising, but he could only suppress it. However, Tianming slapped Yun Zhongjun a dozen times, and Yun Zhongjun's old face turned red like a baby, but he didn't wake up.

Or rather, he was awake, but not completely awake, and could only make some unconscious moans, unable to open his eyes or speak.

Tianming smacked his lips and felt a little troubled.

It is obvious that Yun Zhongjun's injury cannot be recovered by the Great Awakening Spell alone, and formal treatment is necessary.

Tianming certainly could not provide such a service, but he couldn't hand the person over to the Yin-Yang family, and he couldn't even let the Yin-Yang family get close to him.

Xinghun also knows this.

So the situation came to a standstill.

Just when both sides were racking their brains over how to proceed, alarm bells suddenly rang in Tianming's mind, and he realized that another expert was approaching.

Without thinking, he grabbed Yun Zhongjun, held his arm with one hand, and held the sword across his throat with the other, holding the hostage in the most secure posture.

At the same time, the Moon Goddess in a water-blue dress also appeared in the alchemy room.

Xing Hun felt relieved when he saw the Moon Goddess appear, but he ignored her completely on the surface.

The Moon Goddess is proficient in illusion and may be able to snatch the person back from Tianming, but Xinghun obviously will not take the initiative to ask the Moon Goddess for help.

Whether to save him or not...he just didn't believe that the Moon God would dare to ignore Yun Zhongjun's life or death.

Compared to Xinghun, Tianming is more hostile towards Yueshen.

He only had prejudice and dislike towards Xinghun, and was more wary and hostile towards Yueshen - because it was Yueshen who snatched Qianlong away from him in the first place.

Although the person was fine, he still remembered the grudge.

When the Moon God arrived, he also didn't even look at Xinghun, but directly said to Tianming:
"Let the person go."

Tianming rolled his eyes and said, "You two really are from the same sect. You even dream about the same things."

"Later, I will ask Yun Zhongjun to release the person you want." Yue Shen continued.

Tianming was stunned for a moment, then showed an even more disdainful expression, "I was wrong, you are more of a dreamer than that short guy."

The Moon Goddess remained calm, with no emotion visible on her veiled face. She continued, "I will guarantee this matter in the name of the National Master Gu Xun."

"Ah?" Tianming was a little confused by these inexplicable words.

Why... can you, a member of the Yin-Yang family, use his name as a guarantee?
"You...use someone else's name as collateral? Are you sane?"

"If we break our promise, you can go to him to seek justice for you." The Moon Goddess had no intention of explaining, she only stated the facts.

Tian Mingrang was amused and asked, "You used someone else's name as a guarantor for no reason, so they should mind your business?"

"With his personality, if someone did this, he wouldn't just ignore it, right?" Moon Goddess asked back.

Tianming fell silent.

At first glance, Moon Goddess's words seemed outrageous, but if you think about it carefully, they were... not completely unreasonable.

If it was Tianming, and he knew that someone was impersonating him and cheating others, he would definitely seek to settle accounts with the other party. This would be even more so if the relationship between the two parties was already bad - provided that he had the ability to do so.

It undoubtedly fits Gu Xun perfectly.

But the difference is that with Gu Xun's personality, even if Yue Shen doesn't break the contract, it seems likely that he will be retaliated...

Tianming was a little puzzled. Was this woman tired of living?

Xing Hun was standing aside, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

He somewhat regretted his previous thought - it would be better if the Moon God did not come!

Compared to Yueshen's act of inviting a wolf into the house, Xinghun would rather spend more time with Tianming, even though it is just embarrassing.

The Moon Goddess ignored the two's opinions and asked again, "How?"

Tianming was in hesitation.

If it were in the past, he would have agreed directly - he had great confidence in Gu Xun, in every sense of the word.

But now, he didn't want to see Gu Xun again in the short term.

If the Moon God really tricked him...

After some hesitation, Tianming finally chose to agree to this plan.

If he disagreed, he really didn't know how to resolve the current deadlock.

Anyway, we still have Shi Lan. If Yue Shen breaks the contract, let Shi Lan go find Gu Xun.

"Okay!" Tianming nodded in agreement, but he was not in a hurry to let him go. "But I feel a little bit at a disadvantage."

"I want to receive some extra compensation."

After saying that, Tianming looked at Yun Zhongjun in his hand, as if he was going to make amends from him.

The Moon Goddess asked calmly, "What compensation do you want?"

Tianming grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, "Two choices."

"Either you let me hit him again to vent my anger, or you return my non-attack to me."

They both knew very well that what Tianming meant by 'hit' was definitely not just a simple punch or kick.

According to the agreement, Tianming would not kill anyone, but this time he would probably beat Yun Zhongjun half to death, or even leave him with lifelong disability.

This was unacceptable to both of them.

Yun Zhongjun was only slightly injured, so the matter could be kept secret among them and not be known by the emperor.

But if Yun Zhongjun was lying in bed half-dead, or even missing limbs, then it would be impossible to hide it.

"The things will be returned together with the people." Yue Shen agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, Feigong was not captured by her and it is not in her hands now. She will not suffer any loss if she returns it.

As for whether Gongshu Chou will return it or not...Gongshu Chou doesn't have that much say yet.

He has been studying for such a long time, if there is no result, he can't blame others.

Xing Hun's face didn't look good, but it was impossible for him to ruin Yue Shen's plan at this time - if he dared to ruin Yue Shen's plan, she would put all the blame on him.

Anyway, it is Gongshu Chou's interests that are lost, so it doesn't matter whether his son dies or not.

"Hehe, I hope you can keep your word!" Tianming said finally, then immediately left Yun Zhongjun behind and ran away.

Moon Goddess and Star Soul simply didn't chase after them.

You can chase them, but if you can't keep them, there's no need to waste your energy.

The Moon Goddess turned to look at Xinghun, "From now on, I'll leave it to Lord Xinghun to deal with. Is that ok?"

Xinghun snorted coldly, ignoring the Moon Goddess's tone, he stepped forward and waved his hand. A few hands of true energy pulled Yun Zhongjun up and walked out of the alchemy room.

The Moon Goddess then reminded, "There is also the matter of releasing the people and returning Fei Gong. Lord Xinghun will also handle it."

"I don't think you want the Imperial Master to come on board for this."

Xinghun paused for a moment, then left without saying a word.

But everyone can see that he is very angry (End of this chapter)
