238: Hirashi's Challenge

Lü Ci looked at Xu Xin, his face full of conflict. In the end, he allowed the Poison Qi to enter his body and did not attack Xu Xin.

When he finally woke up, he was already lying in bed.

"Am I... dead?"

A nearby Lü Family Member shook his head.

"Young Master, you are alive and well. The Tang Clan saved you with an antidote."

Lü Ci finally reacted.

"So that's how it is..."

Just then, Xu Xin walked over with a mischievous grin.

"Hehehe, how are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Ci instantly rushed toward the latrine outside.

"Hehehe, if I can't poison you to death, I can still make you poop yourself to death!"

...After Lü Ci finished, his legs were trembling as he squatted on the ground.

"Second Brother, how else should we beg the Sect Leader?"

"Seventh Brother, are you delirious from diarrhea? If the Sect Leader hadn't agreed, do you think we would still be on the mountain?"

"You're still young, so it's not your fault for not noticing. Do you need to force the Sect Leader to admit it verbally before you believe he agreed?"

Lü Ci finally realized it then; he finally understood the Sect Leader's meaning.

At this moment, Xu Xin walked toward him.

"Young Master, are you done?

"The Sect Leader asked me to call Your Excellency over."

Subsequently, Lü Ci followed Xu Xin to meet the Sect Leader.

At this moment, Tang Yuan was standing to the left of Sect Leader, and he pointed to the empty seat on his right.

"Young Master... would you be willing to accompany me to meet a guest shortly?"

Lü Ci immediately asked curiously, "What kind of guest? The Sect Leader is personally greeting them at the mountain gate?"

Tang Yuan then changed the subject.

"The Sect Leader told you to wait; just wait patiently and watch."

"After all, some guests cannot be allowed into the mountain; they would dirty the mountain gate."

Hearing this, Lü Ci was confused, while Tang Bingwen looked at Tang Yuan with some surprise.

"Tang Yuan, how did you know we were going to welcome them?"

"Hehehe, Sect Leader, Disciple has practiced a Cultivation Method that allows me to observe enemies within dozens of miles. I already sensed an Uninvited Guest coming up the mountain."

"That such a Spell exists in this world is truly unexpected."

Tang Bingwen looked at this young man who had suddenly appeared before him, feeling that he held many secrets yet to be uncovered.

As soon as he finished speaking, sure enough, a person walked up from down the mountain.

Tang Yuan immediately shouted, "Stop right there!!"

The man then handed over a Letter. Tang Yuan immediately stepped forward, took the envelope, and handed it to Tang Bingwen.

Tang Bingwen opened it and saw that it was actually a Challenge Letter, and inside was also a List of Names.

"The person in the middle must be the Tang Clan Head, Mister Tang Bingwen? Bihe Mountain and your Esteemed Sect have clashed many times, and this continuous attrition is not a solution for either side."

"But isn't it necessary for our conflict to finally be resolved?"

"Sect Leader, how about this: we each send out ten people for a Decisive Battle. As long as one side kills ten of the opponents and still has survivors, they are the victorious side."

"If Bihe Mountain loses this time, we will no longer be enemies with the Tang Clan, and we will never enter Chinese Territory again."

Hearing this, Tang Bingwen asked:

"And if we fail?"

"Hahahahahaha!! Then we only need one thing to completely resolve the Feud between us! Tang Clan Head! We only want your head!!"

Tang Bingwen sneered, "If I lose, one head ensures everyone else is safe. That seems like a worthwhile deal."

At this moment, Tang Shiying, who was standing nearby, frowned as he looked at the letter.

"Go to the Mountain Cave in Jilin? Isn't that too far?"

"Even if it's a Duel, shouldn't we get to choose the location?"

"Gentlemen, don't forget that we will be fighting away from home. We are probably the only ones who need to worry about being taken advantage of. Even if it's a bit far, it is still on your own land."

"Don't worry, only the ten people we selected and some Highly Respected Elders from Bihe Mountain will be there as witnesses."

"In that case, if you are truly worried, feel free to find Influential Figures from Other Sects to bear witness, such as the Celestial Master of Mount Longhu. We are fine with that."

Tang Bingwen said expressionlessly, "Integrity is paramount in life! Although I have clashed with you many times, I still have basic human respect for you, even if you are enemies."

Tang Yuan turned his head and glanced at Tang Bingwen. The Tang Clan, relying on its Deep Foundation, was still full of High Spirits at this moment.

But alas, the two battles, one after the other, completely wiped out the Tang Clan's future.

The Newcomer chuckled:

"Hahaha! I am extremely grateful! Allow me to introduce myself!!"

"One of the ten! Wakasa Chubei! I look forward to a Life-and-Death Duel with all of you!!"

Tang Bingwen nodded.

"Very well, I agree to your terms. However, we need to discuss the details in between. Once we have a specific time, I will sign and seal the Wager and hand it over for you to take back."

"You may go rest down the mountain. I see you have already signed and sealed it, Niriki Koji?"

Wakasa Chubei immediately explained, "This is our new Leader, who will personally attend as a Witness."

Lü Ci immediately couldn't help but ask, "Wait a moment! Is that Demon or something, the Lunatic who uses a Single Blade, included here!"

Wakasa Chubei smiled.

"I know who you are asking about: Nikaido Eita! Also known as Demon Blade Eita. He is also among the ten."

After receiving confirmation, Lü Ci's Killing Intent leaked out, and he was about to step forward, but Tang Bingwen restrained him.

"Your Excellency may leave now."

"Then I shall take my leave!"

Wakasa Chubei bowed slightly and walked toward the back... Everyone returned inside, and Lü Ci immediately started shouting loudly, "Sect Leader! I know I am being shameless this time, but I beg you!! Include me in the list of ten people."

"I must find Demon Blade Eita!! This person must die by my hands!!"

The Sect Leader nodded.

"It's not impossible, but Young Master, I must first confirm with you: this duel is ten-on-ten, not one-on-one. Young Master, you come from the Lü family and carry a Deep Blood Feud. If you are truly only targeting Eita, I really cannot take you."

Lü Ci replied with a serious expression, "Sect Leader, don't worry! These Bastards are difficult to deal with! Otherwise, I wouldn't be pestering you. As long as I can contribute when killing them, I will do anything!!"

"If he doesn't die by my hands in the end, I accept it! But his corpse must be given to me! I need to take it back to console my Elder Brother's Spirit in Heaven!"

"Don't worry about me. You should worry more about the Tang Clan. This time, the opponent is clearly digging a pit, and you jumped right in."

An Elder nearby also nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Sect Leader. I usually just follow orders when you speak, but weren't you a bit Rash this time? What if it's a Trap..."
