The wealthy Alliance Leader Qin had reserved the entire Star-Moon Tower. There wasn’t a single irrelevant person inside.

On the second floor were five large round tables—one in the center and four on either side. Only one person sat at the central table, while the other four tables each seated eight people.

Sitting alone at the large round table was Qin Haoran. His hands rested on the tabletop, his body leaning against the chair back, eyes closed in meditation. His entire being emanated the aura of someone long accustomed to positions of authority.

The thirty-two martial artists on either side were the big shots from various sects. Though they didn’t possess the alliance leader’s imposing presence, they too emanated an awe-inspiring aura.

Because of their presence, the entire second floor became exceptionally solemn.

At this moment, if an ordinary person were to enter and see such an imposing scene, they would definitely be frightened to the point of trembling.

“Alliance Leader Qin.”

After a long while, the Longdao Sect master couldn’t help but speak up: “It’s almost noon already. Why hasn’t the Tiegu Sect master arrived yet?”

“Could he be standing us up?” the Huxiao Sect master said.

“No.” Alliance Leader Qin said firmly.

The matter had been arranged through Xie Guangkun. He didn’t believe the Tiegu Sect would dare break the appointment.

“Hmph.”

One big shot said indifferently: “Such an important matter as an alliance meeting, yet he’s actually late. It seems he doesn’t take the Hundred Sects Alliance seriously!”

“When he arrives, we must properly question him about whether he’s familiar with the Hundred Sects Alliance regulations!”

“Forget it, Sect Master Wei. If Jun Changxiao knew the alliance regulations, how could he have done something as outrageous as destroying the Lingquan Sect!”

“Damn it, that guy destroyed the Lingquan Sect. If the Shengquan Sect comes to hold us accountable, we’ll definitely suffer along with him.”

The sect masters from various sects discussed indignantly.

From their emotions, it was clear that when Jun Changxiao arrived, they would definitely drown him in their spittle!

Actually, if it had been any other sect that was destroyed, they wouldn’t be this angry. But the one destroyed was the Lingquan Sect, which had connections to the Shengquan Sect.

The Shengquan Sect—that was a sect that existed on a completely different level from their sects!

Forget about their high-ranking members taking action—even a single disciple coming down the mountain could abuse them until they questioned their very existence!

Qin Haoran’s expression also became grave.

This alliance meeting was being held precisely so the alliance could stand up for the Lingquan Sect first, to give the Shengquan Sect an explanation.

“Thud, thud, thud.”

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs could be heard.

Qin Haoran and the thirty-two sect masters all turned in unison to look at the stairway entrance, their gazes flashing with cold severity.

Jun Changxiao’s head appeared first at the stairway entrance. Seeing so many people, he said: “My apologies, my entrance method was incorrect. Please wait a moment.”

With that, he retreated back down.

“Why did he go back down?”

“Hmph, he’s probably too scared to face City Lord Qin.”

“If he was going to be afraid, he shouldn’t have done something like destroying the Lingquan Sect!”

“Du-du-gu, du-du-gu-gu, du-du-gu-du-du-gu…” Suddenly, a somewhat ear-splitting deep sound rang out, startling the sect masters from various sects to their feet, their eyes fixed on the stairway entrance.

Accompanied by the God of Gamblers entrance BGM, Jun Changxiao walked up wearing a sable fur coat, a cigar in his mouth, strutting with an air of supreme confidence.

So showy it was unbearable!!

Li Qingyang, Su Xiaomo, and Xiao Zuiji followed behind him.

They stood in a line formation behind their sect master, hands crossed and lowered. If they had been wearing black suits and sunglasses, they would have looked exactly like dark criminal forces!

Wudi Ye Xingchen, meanwhile, carried the sound system up with a frantic expression on his face.

Damn it.

So embarrassing, so shameful!

Suddenly, the divine music changed, beginning to sing: “Don’t look at me as just a sheep…”

The corner of Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched: “Turn it off.”

Snap.

The sound system was turned off. Silence fell.

Across from them, Alliance Leader Qin and the thirty-two sect masters all had their eyes wide open, their gazes gleaming with a ‘what the hell is this’ kind of luster.

Jun Changxiao shrugged his shoulders.

Li Qingyang stepped forward, took the sable fur coat that had been temporarily rented from the town, then retreated back to his original position.

“Puff!”

Exhaling a smoke ring, Jun Changxiao said indifferently: “Alliance Leader Qin, such a large table, yet you don’t even prepare a single chair? That’s a bit against the rules of the martial world, isn’t it?”

The Tiequan Gang leader said indifferently: “Does your Tiegu Sect even deserve to sit on a chair?”

Right beside him was a ready-made chair that had originally been reserved for Jun Changxiao, but it had been deliberately pulled back.

This action received the support of the sect masters from various sects.

Never mind the question of sect superiority—just the destruction of the Lingquan Sect alone violated alliance regulations. What qualification did the Tiegu Sect master have to sit as an equal with them at the meeting?

“Zuiji.”

Jun Changxiao said: “Bring the chair over.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Zuiji walked over.

The Tiequan Gang leader pressed one hand down on the chair surface, saying indifferently: “If someone’s going to take it, it should be the sect master. What are you, a mere disciple?”

The elders from various sects watched with great interest.

The Tiequan Gang was famous for their iron fists. With one hand pressing down on the chair, that Tiegu Sect disciple definitely wouldn’t be able to move it even a fraction.

“Please remove your hand.” Xiao Zuiji said calmly.

The Tiequan Gang leader changed from palm to fist as he pressed down, saying disdainfully: “This gang leader already said, tell your sect master to…”

“Swish!”

Xiao Zuiji’s right arm suddenly swung over, his physical strength exploding forth. Not only was it fast, it also carried a gust of fierce wind!

The Tiequan Gang leader’s expression changed drastically. He instinctively raised both arms to block.

“Bang!” The iron arm, heavy with tremendous force like a sledgehammer, ruthlessly struck his arms. The force exploded, directly lifting him up, then with a bang he crashed through the window and flew out magnificently.

…

Outside the Star-Moon Tower, many martial artists had gathered. Some were discussing in low voices, others were looking up at the second floor. Suddenly the window shattered and a person fell from above, giving everyone a huge fright.

Oh my god.

The Tiegu Sect master just went up, and the alliance already made a move?

Exciting, so exciting!

Many martial artists focused their gazes, immediately becoming dumbstruck, because the one who fell from the second floor wasn’t a member of the Tiegu Sect—it was the Tiequan Gang leader!

“Ah, ah… it hurts so much!”

…

Inside the Star-Moon Tower, silence reigned.

The big shots from various sects stared dumbfounded as Xiao Zuiji picked up the chair, placed it behind the Tiegu Sect master, then returned to his original position, his exposed right arm displaying beautiful muscle definition.

One look showed it was very powerful!

“That guy is clearly trash without spiritual power, yet relying solely on physical strength, he blasted a Wutu-level warrior flying. Simply unbelievable!” Ye Xingchen thought to himself in shock.

Jun Changxiao sat down elegantly, one hand holding the cigar, one leg crossed, saying indifferently: “Gentlemen, I have come to keep the appointment.”

“Slap!”

The Longdao Sect master slapped the table and stood up, roaring angrily: “Jun Changxiao, this is an alliance meeting, your disciple attacked without authorization, is there no law…”

The intonation of the word ‘law’ suddenly weakened.

Because Sect Master Jun had already raised the Desert Eagle, pointing it downward slightly, saying: “If you have something to say, sit down and say it.”

The sect masters from various sects’ expressions changed.

After the Lingquan Sect was destroyed, they had learned the truth through various channels, discovering that Wei Yinu had died under this silvery concealed weapon.

An individual at the twelfth stage of Meridian Opening, instantly shot dead—this was no ordinary concealed weapon!

The Longdao Sect master’s eyes flashed with anger, but he still obediently sat down.

“That’s right.”

Jun Changxiao put away his gun, took a drag from his cigarette, and said with a smile: “Since this is an alliance meeting, why must you stand when you have something to say?”

Alliance Leader Qin went straight to the point, saying in a heavy voice: “Sect Master Jun, was it you who destroyed the Lingquan Sect?”

“That’s correct.”

Jun Changxiao didn’t deny it.

Alliance Leader Qin said with a cold face: “Alliance regulations state that members must not arbitrarily carry out the destruction of other sects. As a sect master, you should know this, right?”

“I know.” Jun Changxiao answered.

Alliance Leader Qin’s expression became increasingly gloomy as he said: “Sect Master Jun, why did you knowingly do what you shouldn’t do?”

Jun Changxiao bent down, his elbow resting on his leg, saying with a grin: “Because my Tiegu Sect’s principle is: if others offend me, I will offend them in return.”

“…”

Li Qingyang and the other disciples’ mouths twitched.

My sect master, doesn’t our Tiegu Zhengzheng Sect’s principle change every single day!
