191: Chapter 191 I've given you face!
In the carriage behind them.
Zhou Duoer was a little nervous.
"Young Lord, can we go through?"
Chen Xian said with a smile: "Don't worry, we definitely can!"
"Why?"
The Moon Demon was not as optimistic as Chen Xian and said very seriously: "Those Sword Cultivator Families and Sects probably won't give Yu Weihu this much Face so easily!"
"This matter is too important, especially since it involves the Legacy of a Sword Saint!"
"It's a small matter for their Families and Sects to lose a few Prodigies; what they want more is the Legacy on your person!"
"At this time, Yu Weihu's only reliance is his Mahayana Stage cultivation. How could those few families be afraid of him?"
Facing the Moon Demon's analysis,
Chen Xian just smiled.
Although he could use the System to calculate today's outcome,
Chen Xian felt it was unnecessary.
If Yu Weihu couldn't even handle these people,
how could he possibly be Li Zhen's right-hand man?
And how could he have suppressed the Da Gan Dynasty for so many years?
This Right Prime Minister of his was notoriously ruthless.
Not long after.
an old man appeared in front of Yu Weihu.
"Deputy City Lord of Shanhai City, Yao Xing, pays respects to the Right Prime Minister!"
Yu Weihu had no patience for pleasantries and said coldly: "I need to leave the city!"
Yao Xing was stunned.
and said awkwardly: "Right Prime Minister, this is probably inappropriate!"
"Hmm?"
"A Sword Cultivator in Shanhai City slaughtered several hundred Sword Cultivators inside the city. We are currently searching. If we rashly open the city gates, it might draw public dissatisfaction. For the mentors of those deceased Sword Cultivators, it would also have a negative impact."
"Right Prime Minister, why don't you have some tea and rest inside the city for a while? Once we ascertain the truth, we will personally escort the Right Prime Minister out of the city. How about that?"
As soon as Yao Xing finished speaking,
the sound of a slap echoed in everyone's ears.
"With just you, you dare to stop me?"
Yao Xing was slapped, and a trace of resentment appeared in his eyes.
But he still braced himself and said:
"Although the Right Prime Minister holds a noble rank in the court, there are over a hundred lives involved, which also involves Noble Families and Sects."
"You, too, cannot be exempt from the rules!"
"Otherwise, Shanhai City will have no order!"
Yu Weihu's expression was unmoved.
But those familiar with him knew that this was his state when he was angry.
"So, you insist on opposing me?"
"It's not me opposing you, but you must abide by the rules of Shanhai City."
"Otherwise, I won't be the only one opposing you."
As soon as Yao Xing finished speaking,
dozens of figures suddenly appeared behind him.
The auras of these people were mysterious and powerful.
Their gazes fell upon Yu Weihu,
and dissatisfaction appeared in their tone.
"Why is the Right Prime Minister in such a hurry to leave?"
"We are tracking that villain in the city. Why doesn't the Right Prime Minister lend us a hand?"
"Alternatively, let us check if that villain is among your entourage. If not, we will naturally let the Right Prime Minister leave."
Upon hearing this,
everyone subconsciously held their breath.
Even Yao Xing's expression changed upon hearing this.
One must know that stopping Yu Weihu and searching Yu Weihu were completely different in nature and consequence.
Stopping Yu Weihu could be explained by the city-wide lockdown.
But searching him was a naked act of suspicion towards Yu Weihu, even trampling on Yu Weihu's dignity.
Yu Weihu's gaze fell upon the old man who had just spoken.
"You are..."
"Zhao Hong, the Third Master of the Zhao Family, a Noble Family from the Central Continent!"
Chen Xian, in the carriage, felt a jolt.
Zhao Hong, he didn't know.
But the Zhao Family of the Central Continent was indeed famous among Sword Cultivators.
In several Sword Dao Assemblies, the Old Ancestor of the Zhao Family was almost always one of the judges, which showed the status of their Zhao Family.
He hadn't expected this Third Master of the Zhao Family to be here.
No wonder he dared to brazenly demand to search Yu Weihu's carriage.
Zhou Duoer was still a child and said nervously: "Young Lord, what should we do?"
If they fled!
How could they escape with so many people around?
If they reasoned?
These people were hardly the sort to listen to reason.
Relying solely on Yu Weihu from the court, they seemed to be at a disadvantage.
However, Chen Xian was completely unruffled and said: "No rush, the situation hasn't reached a dead end."
"Yu Weihu hasn't made his stance clear yet!"
The Moon Demon snorted.
"Do you think he will choose to clash head-on with these Noble Families for your sake?"
"Which of these Noble Families doesn't have a Mahayana Stage Cultivator?"
"It's not worth it for just a mere you."
Although Chen Xian was important, when weighing the pros and cons, he was not as important to Yu Weihu.
"Now, while everyone is confronting each other and Yu Weihu hasn't handed you over, hurry up and slip away!"
The Moon Demon's encouragement made Zhou Duoer nod frantically.
She also believed that an outsider couldn't possibly protect them.
However, Chen Xian recalled the look Yu Weihu gave him.
There was a familiar feeling in that gaze.
Chen Xian clenched his fist and said softly: "Wait a little longer!"
At this time,
the atmosphere outside the carriage had become tense.
Yu Weihu stood opposite Zhao Hong and Yao Xing.
"So, you insist on blocking me?"
Zhao Hong sneered.
"This concerns the souls of over a hundred Sword Cultivators. We cannot simply let you leave like this. Or perhaps, you are the one harboring that villain, which is why you are so insistent on leaving!"
"If you don't let us check, the Right Prime Minister won't be leaving today!"
Yu Weihu sighed helplessly.
"This old man didn't want to kill anyone, but..."
He just glanced at Yao Xing.
His eyes were filled with cold indifference.
The next second, Yao Xing suddenly felt immense pressure fall upon him.
Pfft!
Yao Xing spat out a mouthful of blood directly and was sent flying backward.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.
"With just one look, Yao Xing was defeated?"
"How is this possible? Yao Xing is clearly also a Mahayana Stage Cultivator!"
"But Mahayana Stage and Mahayana Stage Cultivators are different, aren't they?"
While everyone was discussing,
a playful expression appeared on Zhao Hong's Face.
"It seems there's no need for further discussion. Right Prime Minister, no, you should now be the public enemy of all of us!"
Behind Zhao Hong stood over a hundred Elders from various Sects and Noble Families.
They all looked at Yu Weihu with grave expressions,
their gazes constantly flickering between him and the carriage behind him.
The person in that carriage was most likely the successor of that Fearless Sword Saint.
In terms of reason and sentiment, they absolutely could not let Yu Weihu leave with that person.
Yu Weihu looked at the hundred-plus people behind Zhao Hong.
"So, you all stand with Zhao Hong?"
The people behind Zhao Hong exchanged glances.
They did not move.
Their silence, simply by their stance, had already declared their attitude.
A playful expression appeared on Yu Weihu's Face.
"Heh heh, it seems this old man has been too low-key in the North Continent. Not only do some people commit insubordination, but they also want to search this old man!"
