323: Some accounts need to be settled.

This man was so ungentlemanly, actually threatening her.

It wasn't as if she said she wouldn't honor the bet; was this really necessary? He was being far too petty.

"It's not a threat, just a piece of advice."

"Because no one can default on a debt to this Prince, not even you, Li Hanyi."

"Of course, with the exception of this Prince's women." Duan Zhengchun shrugged and turned to leave.

Li Hanyi's teeth itched with rage, but she was completely powerless.

"Dammit, that bastard. I must have been possessed to go and Ask the Sword of that bastard in the first place."

"Now look at this, I've brought such trouble upon myself," Li Hanyi muttered resentfully.

However, she felt quite helpless in her heart.

At that moment, a guard came running over in a hurry.

"What happened?" Li Hanyi put her mask back on, her tone turning cold.

"Reporting to the Second City Lord, the latest news is that Jin has amassed a million troops and is about to go to war with the Kingdom."

"Hmm? Jin? What exactly is going on?" A sharp glint flashed in Li Hanyi's eyes, and her aura unconsciously grew cold.

"It's like this..."

The guard explained the truth of the matter to Li Hanyi. After hearing it, she frowned slightly.

She hadn't expected Duan Zhengchun to actually kill the Crown Prince of Jin and his son in Jiangnan. No wonder the Emperor of Jin, Emperor of Jin, would be so furious as to deploy troops against the Kingdom.

"That guy is as overbearing as ever; those who offend him never come to a good end," Li Hanyi said with a cold, mocking tone.

"Alright, I'm aware of this. You may leave!"

It wasn't that he liked eavesdropping, but he had just stepped out when he saw a guard rushing in, so he curiously listened to what the guard had to say.

Upon learning that the Emperor of Jin, Emperor of Jin, was actually going to deploy troops against the Kingdom, the expression on Duan Zhengchun's face suddenly turned icy.

"Emperor of Jin, very well. You have already found your way to death," Duan Zhengchun's voice was cold and filled with killing intent.

It seemed he had been too low-key. He had already given a warning, yet they were still courting death. In that case, there was no need for mercy.

As his voice fell, Duan Zhengchun's figure vanished instantly.

When he reappeared, he was already on the first floor of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.

Duan Zhengchun's sudden appearance startled the few people who were chatting.

Moon Princess immediately noticed that Duan Zhengchun's expression was grim. Her heart trembled, and she quickly stood up.

"Prince, has something happened?"

"It's nothing, just a few trifles. Now, we are going to Nine Dragons Temple. Certain matters still need to be resolved." Duan Zhengchun's tone carried a hint of anger, and his face turned cold.

At this, everyone present felt that Duan Zhengchun's mood was off.

Lei Wujie stood up and approached Duan Zhengchun, speaking cautiously.

"Brother-in-law, did something happen? Is my sister unwilling to honor the bet?"

"No one can default on a debt to me, Duan Zhengchun, but this matter has nothing to do with your sister."

"Some people always think that being in a high position allows them to be lawless. If they dare to move against my people, then don't blame this Prince for showing no mercy." Duan Zhengchun's voice was cold and filled with killing intent, and the surrounding environment changed because of this surge of intent.

Everyone present felt Duan Zhengchun's icy killing intent; they all felt their hair stand on end as a chill rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Even Xiao Se, whose expression rarely changed, looked much more serious.

He knew that something major must have happened for Duan Zhengchun to react this way.

What exactly happened to cause such a change in Duan Zhengchun?

"Hey, have you guys heard? Big news."

"What news? You look so nervous."

"According to the latest news, Jin, which borders the Great Song, has suddenly gathered its army and is marching south."

"Huh? What's going on? Why did Jin suddenly deploy troops?"

"I heard that the Crown Prince of Jin, Crown Prince of Jin, was killed at the Jiangnan Misty Rain Tower in the Great Song."

"That's why today's events are happening."

"Holy crap, who's so powerful? They actually killed the Crown Prince of Jin?"

"Hehe... Speaking of which, everyone has heard of this person, but not many have seen him."

"Damn it, hurry up and say it! If you keep us in suspense like this, watch out or we'll strip you naked and throw you onto the main road."

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. The one who killed Crown Prince of Jin is none other than the most famous person in the Jianghu today, Duan Zhengchun, the Reliant King of Dali."

...Silence. After the person finished speaking, the scene fell into an instant hush.

"Holy crap..."

"Holy crap..."

"Good! Prince Duan did well! I've heard of that Crown Prince of Jin; he was nothing but a piece of trash. As the Crown Prince of Jin, he stayed in Jiangnan of the Great Song and wouldn't leave. Who in the entire Jiangnan Prefecture didn't know that Crown Prince of Jin was a scumbag and a beast?"

"Moreover, Wanyan Kang, that so-called son of Crown Prince of Jin, was even less of a human being, actually using children to practice his martial arts."

"You don't know, those children used by Wanyan Kang for practice all had five holes in their heads."

"Looking at it, they were clearly holes gouged out by fingers. Shouldn't a person like that be killed?"

"Hey, brother, you're so clear about it. Were you there at the time?"

"My neighbor's sister's nephew's cousin's second uncle was there at the time. Moreover, that Wanyan Kang was not only a ruthless person..."

"It's said he was also a traitor who recognized his enemy as his father."

"Crown Prince of Jin was the murderer who destroyed his family years ago. Yet, Wanyan Kang still refused to give up his status as the Little Prince."

"He never admitted to being a Han person, saying he was a person of Jin. Such a person simply deserves to die."

"So how did this Crown Prince of Jin provoke Prince Duan?"

"This, it was all because of Wanyan Kang. Not only was this guy ruthless, but he also had a thing for women."

"He offended Prince Duan's woman, and after being taught a lesson, he wasn't satisfied. He then called for reinforcements, having Crown Prince of Jin lead troops to kill."

"The result was predictable; Prince Duan didn't care about Crown Prince of Jin at all."

"Not only did he kill Crown Prince of Jin, but even the two hundred elite soldiers he brought were slaughtered on the spot."

"The ridiculous thing is, even then, Wanyan Kang was still arrogantly clamoring to retaliate against Prince Duan. The result can be imagined."

Hearing the truth of the matter, everyone suddenly understood what was going on.

Everyone was discussing how Wanyan Kang was a piece of trash and Crown Prince of Jin was no good either. They provoked someone they shouldn't have, and they deserved to die.

Xiao Se and the others also understood why Duan Zhengchun's expression was so grim.

For Jin to deploy troops at this time was too insidious.

"Dammit, how dare a tiny Jin be so overbearing! Brother-in-law, I'll go to Jin personally right now and kill that dog emperor to see if he still dares to be so arrogant!" Lei Wujie roared and slammed the table as he stood up.

Tang Lian didn't say anything, but he had already stood up, his attitude very clear.

With just a word from Duan Zhengchun, they would charge straight into the Jin royal court and kill the Emperor of Jin.

"Enough. It's just Jin; this Prince doesn't care about them. You don't need to worry about this; this Prince can handle it himself."

"Now, take this Prince to Nine Dragons Temple. It's time to settle some scores," Duan Zhengchun said coldly.
