Chapter 86

"Who's there?"

Wu Qi's face turned serious. These two spirals of spiritual energy were unpredictable, and even he, a Heaven Wheel expert, felt a great threat from them.

"The Silver Ring Chamber of Commerce has truly fallen."

A graceful figure appeared before Shangguan Mingyue and Xiao Shi. Her skin was as smooth as congealed fat, her eyes held a hint of autumn waves, and her black hair was tied to one side. She wore a long green robe that accentuated her devilishly curvaceous figure, exuding an endless charm that made it impossible to look away.

"Auntie!"

Shangguan Mingyue clung to Shangguan Junyi's arm, her lips pursed, her eyes red, and her voice filled with委屈.

"Yue'er, I'm sorry I came late." Shangguan Junyi, who doted on her niece the most, felt a surge of anger at the sight of her expression. She turned to Wu Qi and the others, her eyes filled with killing intent, and said, "Since you dare to cause trouble at the Shengyu Chamber of Commerce, you won't be leaving."

At this moment, two pairs of young men and women entered from outside, including Zhong Wen and Zheng Qiyuan.

"Daddy!" Zheng Yueting, seeing her father lying on the ground with a golden complexion and blood at the corner of his mouth, was shocked and quickly ran over to support him, looking up at Zhong Wen with worry.

"Old Zheng, why do you always look so miserable when I see you?" Zhong Wen chuckled as he approached Zheng Gongming and handed him a pill.

With a quick glance, he knew that although Zheng Gongming had two broken bones, he was not in mortal danger, so he was not overly concerned.

Hu Xiao took two steps back, maintaining a distance from Shangguan Junyi and her niece. His eyes darted around, sizing up Shangguan Junyi, Nan Gong Ling, and Zheng Yueting. He found that the women who had just arrived were all stunningly beautiful, rivaling celestial maidens. He exchanged a glance with He Ming, and they both read excitement in each other's eyes.

With so many beautiful women, they would surely get at least two each!

The lustful master and disciple thought this, and they couldn't help but feel eager.

Seeing the faces of the newcomers, Wu Qi became calm: "Wu Qi of the Silver Ring Chamber of Commerce, I have the honor of meeting Miss Shangguan Junyi."

"Tell me, how do you want to die?" Shangguan Junyi said coldly, not bothering to engage in further conversation.

"Miss Shangguan Junyi's strength has long been a topic of discussion. Although I heard you were not in the city, I did not dare to be unprepared." Wu Qi's eyes showed no fear as he spoke confidently, "It seems that being cautious has its benefits."

An old man with white hair and a yellow robe suddenly stepped out from among the Silver Ring Chamber of Commerce members, standing beside Wu Qi.

"Allow me to introduce you." A hint of satisfaction flashed in Wu Qi's eyes, "This is Du Beijiang, the second elder of Antai Province's Yu Xu Sect, a top expert at the sixth level of the Heaven Wheel."

Du Beijiang, who had been hidden in the crowd without drawing any attention, now appeared with a dignified and imposing presence, exuding the aura of a true expert.

"A top expert at the sixth level of the Heaven Wheel and a sect elder, are you not ashamed to join the Silver Ring Chamber of Commerce in bullying and oppressing others?" Shangguan Junyi's face remained unchanged as she mocked.

"Truly impressive, young lady!" Du Beijiang, with his extensive experience, was not easily provoked, "At your young age, your cultivation is already on par with mine, truly broadening my horizons."

"If you retreat now, I will let bygones be bygones." Shangguan Junyi looked at Du Beijiang and said slowly, "Otherwise, even if you win, I will find the Yu Xu Sect and slaughter all your disciples."

"Our sect's grand elder is a Spirit Venerable level expert. Although your cultivation is high, the idea of destroying the Yu Xu Sect is a delusion." Du Beijiang's heart trembled, but he did not back down, "Moreover, the Silver Ring Chamber of Commerce has helped me, and I must repay this favor."

"Since that's the case, you will stay and accompany him." Shangguan Junyi did not waste any more words. She lightly waved her hand and pointed at Du Beijiang, creating a massive spiritual energy vortex between Du Beijiang and Wu Qi. The strong suction from the vortex threatened to engulf everyone from the Silver Ring Chamber of Commerce.

"What a powerful spiritual technique!"

Du Beijiang and Wu Qi's faces changed simultaneously as they felt the immense threat from the vortex.

"Attendant Wu, let me hold off Shangguan Junyi while you deal with the others and come to my aid!" Du Beijiang shouted, striking out with a palm that transformed into a golden giant snake in mid-air.

The snake's mouth opened wide, hissing as it lunged toward Shangguan Junyi with incredible speed.

"Attack!" Wu Qi shouted to his subordinates while darting toward Shangguan Mingyue.

If he could capture Miss Shangguan, Shangguan Junyi would be hesitant to act, and even if she didn't surrender immediately, her distraction would make her no match for Elder Du.

Wu Qi, confident in his plan, was about to capture the young lady when a graceful figure suddenly blocked Shangguan Mingyue.

"You... why?"

Shangguan Mingyue never expected that the one who stepped forward to protect her would be Nan Gong Ling, whom she had always disliked.

Wu Qi, unable to stop himself, decided to kill Nan Gong Ling first and then capture Shangguan Mingyue.

Just as his palm was about to strike Nan Gong Ling's chest, a powerful force hit his hand, forcing him back several steps.

A masked woman in a green robe then blocked Wu Qi's path.

"Do you want to kill her?" the green-robed woman asked coldly.

"Who are you, and why do you dare to obstruct me?" Wu Qi, frustrated by the unexpected obstacles, became more aggressive.

"I am your grandmother!"

The green-robed woman struck without hesitation, her spiritual energy forming green threads that shot toward Wu Qi from all directions. She was clearly a powerful Heaven Wheel expert.

Wu Qi, feeling extremely unlucky, had no choice but to engage the green-robed woman with all his might.

With the Heaven Wheel experts leading the way, the others no longer held back and began to fight their respective opponents.

He Ming and Hu Xiao, sharing a telepathic connection, simultaneously abandoned Shangguan Mingyue and Xiao Shi and headed straight for Zheng Gongming and his daughter.

Apart from the four Heaven Wheel experts, they were the most powerful among those present. Seeing that the leader of the Golden Saber Sect was taking a pill to heal himself, they did not want to give him time to recover. Moreover, Zheng Yueting's beauty and heroic demeanor made these lustful men even more eager.

"Scoundrels, how dare you!" Zheng Yueting, knowing that her father was being treated by Zhong Wen and could not be disturbed, shouted and charged forward with her saber.

"Hey, what a fierce little beauty, so eager to play with us?" He Ming's eyes gleamed with lust, and he drooled, "Don't worry, we won't disappoint you tonight!"

"Shameless!" Zheng Yueting's saber techniques were swift and relentless, growing stronger with each strike. Although He Ming's cultivation far exceeded hers, he found it difficult to find an opening.

"Brother, hurry up, be careful not to let this little beauty escape." He Ming, a peak Earth Wheel expert, shamelessly sought help against a young girl.

Hu Xiao laughed maniacally and joined the fight. Together, they used the "Tiger Crane Double Form" technique, their tiger and crane punches complementing each other perfectly, creating a formidable force that rivaled a Heaven Wheel expert. Zheng Yueting, though skilled, was no match for their combined strength and was quickly overwhelmed. If they had not intended to capture her alive, she would have been seriously injured by now.

Seeing that she was no match for them, Zheng Yueting did not lose heart. She took a step back and began to sing a heroic song with her soft voice, adding a unique charm to the melody.

"Hey, she can sing too, so beautiful!" Hu Xiao, taken aback, then laughed, "Such a beautiful voice, tsk tsk, it will surely be enchanting tonight."

Unexpectedly, as she sang, the power of Zheng Yueting's willow leaf saber increased. She unleashed the "Eighteen Waves of the Broken Tide" technique, which created a powerful and unstoppable wave of energy. He Ming, caught off guard, had his right arm cut by the saber's wind, causing blood to flow.

"Damn woman!" He Ming, proud of his cultivation and fighting a young girl with two against one, could not bear the humiliation of being injured and became enraged, "If I catch you, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

The "Tiger Crane Double Form" technique was not to be underestimated. In the hands of two peak Earth Wheel cultivators, it had the power of a Heaven Wheel expert. Although Zheng Yueting's saber techniques were exquisite, her cultivation was still shallow. Once they became serious, she could not resist and had to retreat.

He Ming gave a nod to Hu Xiao, and they understood each other. Hu Xiao suddenly lunged and appeared behind Zheng Yueting. The young girl, lacking experience, was caught off guard and exposed a weakness in her stance. Hu Xiao seized the opportunity and used two fingers to clamp down on her willow leaf saber.

Zheng Yueting, trying to free her right hand, found the saber immobile and began to panic. At that moment, He Ming's attack arrived, and his hand, filled with lust, aimed for her chest.

Zheng Yueting, shocked, quickly released her saber and used both hands to protect her chest, willing to suffer serious injuries rather than let this lecherous man take advantage of her.

"Come here!" He Ming, aroused by Zheng Yueting's shy actions, laughed and reached out to grab her arm.

Without her weapon, the young girl, despite her skillful footwork, was trapped between the two men and felt a sense of helplessness.

Just then, a finger appeared between He Ming and Zheng Yueting.

The finger gently touched and deflected He Ming's hand.

He Ming, who thought he had a sure thing, found his hand suddenly redirected and involuntarily struck his disciple, Hu Xiao, who was behind Zheng Yueting.

Hu Xiao, who had blocked Zheng Yueting's escape, was about to pounce when he was unexpectedly attacked by He Ming. He quickly changed his stance to block the attack. The two men's palms collided with a loud "bang," and Hu Xiao, feeling his arm go numb and his blood surge, stumbled back several steps. Although he was not seriously injured, their encirclement was broken.

Zheng Yueting, expecting to be seriously injured, saw He Ming's attack suddenly change direction. Then, she felt a gentle force lift her off the ground and carry her back two meters.

Turning her head, she saw Zhong Wen's handsome face, and her cheeks instantly turned red. After a moment, she whispered, "Thank you."

"Tingting, rest for a while." Zhong Wen, with a smile, released his arm from around the young girl's waist, his eyes flashing with determination, "These two ugly men dared to bully you; watch me deal with them."

"Be careful." Zheng Yueting, blushing, softly reminded him and then obediently stepped aside.

Seeing his usually cheerful daughter showing such rare shyness, Zheng Gongming, lying on the ground, felt a tightening in his heart, sensing something significant.
