Chapter 119 Bet
The leader of the Salt Gang is highly respected and has connections with the hero Guo Jing. Guo Jing had originally planned to ask someone to send a birthday gift, but upon hearing the news of Qiu Chuji's death, he was so sad that he brought his wife Huang Rong from Peach Blossom Island and reunited with the Quanzhen Sect and others on the Salt Island.

The Quanzhen, Wudang and Huashan sects lived together in one courtyard. Guo Jing was well-known, and when they heard that the great hero Guo was coming, the leaders of the other two sects came to greet him in person.

Although there were many onlookers in the courtyard, when Guo Jing saw Ma Yu, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Disciple Guo Jing greets you."

As the saying goes, the husband sings and the wife follows, Huang Rong had no choice but to follow Guo Jing to pay his respects.

Ma Yu nodded, raised his hand in return, and personally helped Guo Jing up.

Guo Jing looked up and saw Ma Yu with an old and haggard face. He thought of the deceased Qiu Chuji and could not help feeling sad.

Ma Yu sighed when he saw this. Guo Jing suppressed his grief and took Huang Rong with him to meet Wudang's Song Yuanqiao and Huashan's Yue Buqun before following Ma Yu into the house.

As soon as he sat down, Guo Jing asked, "I was horrified when I heard about Taoist Qiu. I had met Jia Wei before. He had been kind to my wife and I. Although we were not close friends, I could tell that he was an upright person. How could he kill Taoist Qiu? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Ma Yu sighed again and recounted everything that had happened on Mount Zhongnan and in Linqing City that day.

Guo Jing slammed the tea table and said angrily, "If he wanted revenge, wasn't it enough to kill Junior Brother Zhao Zhijing? Why did he want to kill Taoist Qiu?"

Huang Rong said, "When I killed Ouyang Feng in the Iron Spear Temple, I knew he was a decisive and ruthless person. Now that I haven't seen him for a few months, his skills have increased dramatically, and he is in a high position and has great power. I am afraid that his arrogance has become even greater.

"After he killed Zhao Zhijing, Taoist Qiu wanted to punish him, which must have angered him. He is not a man of the martial arts world, and he doesn't know Taoist Qiu's chivalry. With such a connection, it's no wonder he killed him so ruthlessly."

Guo Jing stood up and said, "I'm going to go find him and ask for an explanation!"

"Brother Jing, don't act rashly!" Huang Rong hurriedly stopped him.

Huang Rong was very smart, but she could not see through Jia Wei that day. Now after hearing his deeds, she knew that Jia Wei was not an ordinary person and was very afraid of him. She knew that if Guo Jing provoked him, there would be endless trouble.

Ma Yu also stopped him and said, "Jing'er, we need to think about this matter carefully."

After the two men persuaded each other, Guo Jing sat down again.

Ma Yu sighed and said, "Now that Junior Brother Qiu is dead, what's the point of coming to explain? You said he had done a favor to you and your wife, how can you do anything about it?

"Besides, he is a military hero and a close minister to the emperor. If you offend him, won't he harm you?"

Guo Jing said angrily: "No matter how big it is, it is not bigger than the word reason."

"We, the Quanzhen people, will avenge Junior Brother Qiu... It's a pity that Senior Uncle Zhou is far away in Mongolia and we can't contact him."

Huang Rong looked at Ma Yu, "Master, what do you mean?"

"After this disaster, Quanzhen should have closed its gates, but he once said, 'First kill Quanzhen, then destroy Emei'. When he sent Junior Brother Qiu's body back, he also told us to disband the sect." Ma Yu said slowly.

"Now it seems that this is true. If he leads his troops to attack, Quanzhen will have no power to resist. So I can only hand over the chores of the sect to your Junior Brother Yin and go down the mountain to seek help from other sects. But Master Miejue from Emei proposed to go to Guangmingding together to eradicate the Demon Sect, and I couldn't ask for help."

Ma Yu looked at Guo Jing and said, "Jing'er, I have only one favor to ask of you. Jia Wei killed several of my Quanzhen people. Even if there is hatred or resentment, it should be settled. I only ask him to spare the rest of the Quanzhen people and stop harming the Emei people..."

Guo Jing nodded heavily and agreed immediately.

Guo Jing left the house and visited the Wudang Sect again, asking about Yang Guo's recent situation.

Song Yuanqiao smiled and said, "Guo'er is very talented and was loved by my master. He was accepted as a disciple by my second junior brother Yu Lianzhou. When I left, he had just mastered the Wudang Nine Yang Kung Fu."

Guo Jing was extremely concerned about Yang Guo, and was relieved only when he knew that he was fine.

Thinking of sending Yang Guo to Wudang, he listened to Jia Wei's suggestion and accepted his kindness. His mood was very complicated...

Afterwards, the couple went to see Jia Wei again, and Huang Rong reminded Guo Jing many times on the way that Jia Wei was an arrogant person, and if he was angered, it would only intensify the conflict.

At this time, Jia Wei was hanging out with three girls in the courtyard, having a great time. When he heard that Guo Jing and his wife were coming, he prepared to meet them. The three girls had also heard of Guo Jing's name, and they all wanted to join in the fun, so Jia Wei did not stop them.

Not long after Guo Jing and his wife sat down in the hall, they saw Jia Wei, dressed in a python robe, rushing over. "Master Guo and Miss Huang are here to visit us. We are sorry for not welcoming you in person!"

Mu Wanqing and Ding Baiying only glanced at each other from behind the screen, but Zhao Min followed Jia Wei in with a swagger and walked to the main seat and sat down.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong also stood up and greeted him, "Brother Jia, hello, Madam Jia."

Hearing this name, Zhao Min, who was drinking tea, almost choked...

Huang Rong looked at Zhao Min, and then noticed two beautiful women behind the screen. She was convinced that Jia Wei was also a lustful man.

After a few pleasantries, Guo Jing couldn't help but talk about Qiu Chuji. Huang Rong quickly tried to smooth things over and told him what Ma Yu wanted.

"Mrs. Guo, do you mean that this matter ends here?" Jia Wei's expression was indifferent. "If I hadn't been lucky enough to be rescued that day, I would have died on Mount Zhongnan."

In fact, these are all the same topic. Jia Wei wanted to start with Quanzhen Sect. Nowadays, the Jianghu is very powerful. Each sect has thousands of people, and they are all martial and do not respect the court. They are equivalent to local separatist armed forces. They are extremely threatening and a major concern for the court. The court has long had the intention to deal with the Jianghu sects.

In addition, the border is in turmoil. If there is any disturbance in the martial arts world, it will cause internal and external troubles. Even if Jia Wei becomes the emperor, he will not tolerate such expansion of the martial arts sects.

Guo Jing suppressed his anger and said, "Brother Jia, are you going to kill all the Quanzhen Sect members? The remaining disciples are so innocent."

"Why don't you two have a fight? Whoever wins gets the final say." Zhao Min enjoyed watching the fun.

Guo Jing sighed and begged, "How about just give me some face and let this go?"

Jia Wei laughed and said, "That day I rescued the daughter of Hero Guo in front of the ruined kiln, and was called by Mrs. Guo to go to the Iron Spear King Temple to fight with Ouyang Feng and rescue Hero Guo's teacher... I don't remember that I owed Hero Guo anything."

Guo Jing was a man of unparalleled chivalry. After hearing these words, his anger disappeared instantly. His face turned red and he felt a little embarrassed and extremely conflicted.

Huang Rong was very perceptive. She could tell from Jia Wei's tone that there was still hope for a better outcome. She asked calmly, "Brother Jia, what do you want in exchange for letting the two factions go?"

Jia Wei smiled without saying anything, picked up the teacup, took a sip and put it down again.

Zhao Min glared at him. Jia Wei drank her water!

Jia Wei said slowly: "What you said makes sense, why don't we have a fight?"

Huang Rong frowned slightly. She obviously disagreed with this proposal. Even if Guo Jing defeated him, he would not have offended him for nothing. Jia Wei was young and hot-tempered, and he would most likely seek revenge in the future.

Guo Jing also sighed, "Brother Jia has done me a favor, how could I lay hands on you?"

Jia Wei said: "It's not Mr. Guo, but everyone else on the island."

Guo Jing and Huang Rong were stunned and just waited for his next words.

"It happens to be the birthday of Gang Leader Song, and all the heroes of Jianghu have gathered. If we just get together, it will be boring. How about I set up the arena tomorrow? Except for Hero Guo, everyone on the island can challenge me. If anyone can defeat me, the matter will be settled."

When Jia Wei said this, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Zhao Min in the hall, and Ding Baiying and Mu Wanqing in the back were all extremely shocked.

Now half of the leaders and disciples of the Jianghu have gathered on Yan Island. Jia Wei wants to challenge them all by himself? How conceited and arrogant is this!
Even people as smart as Zhao Min and Huang Rong didn't know what Jia Wei was thinking...

Huang Rong thought that since Jia Wei was able to kill Qiu Chuji, even if he borrowed the sword of the Heaven Sword, he must have first-class strength himself.

But which one of the leaders of each sect is not a rare master in the world?

Even if one person cannot win, several people can win by taking turns to fight.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong looked at each other. Seeing Huang Rong agreed, he immediately agreed, "Okay, let's do as Brother Jia says!"

Huang Rong said quickly: "But we have to make three rules beforehand:

First, tomorrow is the birthday of Gang Leader Song, so no blood should be shed. The ring is also a competition among the martial arts world, so we must stop at a certain point and not damage the harmony between the two sides.
Second, since it is a competition, if Brother Jia loses, you must not bear a grudge and seek revenge afterwards, otherwise others will think of your power and no one will dare to come on stage to compete;
Third, the divine sword Yitian is too sharp. If the people from Emei Sect see it, they will inevitably take the opportunity to ask for it. If the Quanzhen Sect sees it, they will inevitably think of the death of Taoist Qiu. I ask Brother Jia to temporarily seal the Yitian sword tomorrow."

When Guo Jing heard this, he thought to himself, Rong'er is the most thoughtful!

Zhao Min looked at Huang Rong twice more and admired her meticulous thinking.

Mu Wanqing behind the house said angrily: "A group of people beat one person and still make so many demands, this is bullying!"

Ding Baiying looked at her for a few times and shook his head silently. Although Mu Wanqing was hot, she actually considered Jia Wei after losing her virginity...

Jia Wei chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do as Madam Guo says."

His tone was frivolous, and Huang Rong heard the teasing intent. Then her face changed slightly and she glared at him.

Guo Jing was a kind-hearted person, so he naturally didn't understand the deeper meaning behind it. He was still happy that Jia Wei agreed to these three requests.

He thought to himself: "Brother Jia is indeed an upright person, but it's a pity that he killed Taoist Qiu by mistake. I absolutely cannot have a close relationship with him..."

Huang Rong sensed that Jia Wei had ulterior motives and did not want to stay any longer, so she stood up and said, "Since the matter has been settled, my husband and I would not disturb you any more, so we will take our leave now."

Jia Wei said, "Wait a minute, Madam Guo. You have only said what happens if I lose, but you haven't said what happens if I win..."

Huang Rong frowned, and Guo Jing quickly asked, "Brother Jia, what do you mean?"

Jia Wei smiled: "If I win by chance, I have only one request! Hero Guo, recite the secrets of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to me in person..."
