“Well, this, actually…”

Li Xun stammered for a moment before revealing the truth, “People have to live, right? Living requires money, and to live well, you need a lot of money… Our Li family is responsible for doing this for the Imperial City Brocade Guards.”

This was understandable, and Chen Xiao nodded, “So your Li family is responsible for doing their dirty work, their lackeys.”

Li Xun’s face was very unpleasant. He wanted to explain that this job was not only not dirty or tiring, but also very glamorous, something others weren’t even qualified to do.

But when he thought of the obsequious way his grandfather behaved whenever he saw those people, he couldn’t refute Chen Xiao’s statement.

“In that case, your Li family doesn’t have much influence with the Imperial City Brocade Guards. Would they really listen to your Li family and let Yang Potian join the organization?”

Chen Xiao asked doubtfully.

Li Xun smiled sheepishly.

“Mr. Chen, you don’t understand. The Imperial City Brocade Guards also want to absorb fresh blood, so our Li family is qualified to recommend talent. In fact, Xiao Tian Ce was originally the best candidate. The Brocade Guards really wanted to recruit him.”

“It’s just that the War God Xiao only has his country and its people in his heart; his ambition doesn’t lie there. My grandfather tried to persuade him many times, but War God Xiao didn’t agree.”

“But Yang Potian heard the news from somewhere and volunteered to my grandfather, desperately trying to please my Li family.”

“However, my grandfather doesn’t think much of this man. He says Yang Potian calls himself Eastern Hero but has no gentlemanly magnanimity. He’s a hypocrite, and those are the most terrifying.”

“Today, he’s being obsequious to my Li family to join the Imperial City Brocade Guards, but if he gains power one day, what he’s giving my Li family today, my Li family will probably have to repay double then!”

Hearing this, Chen Xiao smiled slightly, “Your grandfather is a wise man.”

Li Xun’s eyes darted around, and he said, “So, Mr. Chen, this is a rare opportunity. As long as you let me return to the Imperial City, I will definitely ask my grandfather to introduce you to the Imperial City Brocade Guards! As for Yang Potian, let him stay wherever it’s cool!”

Chen Xiao laughed loudly, “Hahahaha, you say Yang Potian is a hypocrite, but I think you’re a real villain. Yang Potian’s Underworld Palace has been ruined by you, and you still want him to end up with nothing. You’re really something.”

Li Xun was dumbfounded, watching Chen Xiao laugh and curse him at the same time.

He didn’t know what Chen Xiao meant, so he could only laugh along, not daring to say anything.

But the next second, the smile on Chen Xiao’s face disappeared instantly, and he stared at Li Xun coldly, “Li Xun, do you think I’m stupid? If I let you go back, the first thing you’ll do is ask your grandfather to ask the Imperial City Brocade Guards for help to avenge you!”

Li Xun’s pupils dilated rapidly when he heard this, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

“Mr. Chen, how could I think that? I really didn’t think that way. I can swear to the heavens, as long as you let me return to the Imperial City, I will definitely have my grandfather introduce you to the Imperial City Brocade Guards…”

Chen Xiao sneered, “What you’re really thinking doesn’t matter at all. As for the damn Imperial City Brocade Guards, I don’t even care about them. The biggest bargaining chip in your eyes is worthless in front of me!”

After saying that, Chen Xiao struck out with his palm.

Li Xun died instantly and fell into a pool of blood.

This scene allowed the gang leaders to witness Chen Xiao’s decisiveness.

They saw Chen Xiao talking back and forth with Li Xun and originally thought that Chen Xiao was going to let Li Xun go.

Who would have thought that Chen Xiao would still kill him without hesitation? The direct grandson of one of the five great families of the Imperial City was like grass in his eyes.

Among the remaining gang leaders, some were not familiar with Chen Xiao, and they were all thankful that they hadn’t betrayed Chen Xiao like Liu Yan and the others.

And they secretly vowed in their hearts that they must never have any thoughts of betraying Chen Xiao in this lifetime.

After killing Li Xun, Chen Xiao waved to Qi Tianhu, “Old Qi, tell people to clean up here. If there’s nothing else, everyone should leave…”

Chen Xiao’s actions caused another burst of shock.

As expected of Boss Chen, he never played by the rules!

They thought that after experiencing such a shocking event, even if Chen Xiao didn’t give a passionate speech, he would at least say a few words.

Who would have thought that he would just wave his hand and tell everyone to leave.

Qi Tianhu, relying on his deep friendship with Chen Xiao, mustered his courage and asked, “Boss Chen, more than half of the bosses from all over Jiangbei died today. How do you plan to divide up their territories?”

Chen Xiao scratched his head; he really hadn’t thought about this.

After thinking about it casually, he said casually, “You all didn’t betray me today, you’re all good guys. How about this, you guys discuss those territories and divide them equally. If people from other places want to take the opportunity to step in, just kill them!”

The gang leaders looked at each other and were all very satisfied with this decision.

And from this day on, these gang leaders became unprecedentedly united, and the underground world of Jiangbei became as solid as a bucket, forming a force to be reckoned with.

After dealing with the division of territories, Chen Xiao was ready to leave.

At this time, Qi Qingfei walked over and said diligently, “Master, let me send you back.”

“I almost forgot the main thing. Qingfei, do you have time recently?”

Chen Xiao slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered the Martial Arts Tournament.

Qi Qingfei quickly said, “I have time. I wonder what instructions you have, Master?”

Chen Xiao obviously had something he wanted her to do. Even if Qi Qingfei had something more important to do, she would have to make way for this matter.

Chen Xiao said casually, “If you have time, come with me to participate in a Martial Arts Tournament. I’ll take you to see the world.”

Qi Qingfei was flattered, “Master, are you talking about the Martial Arts Tournament held by the Pantheon?”

“Yes, that’s the one.”

Chen Xiao nodded.

“That’s great, Master, I’ve heard about it for a long time…”

Qi Qingfei cheered for a while, but then a hint of hesitation appeared on her face, “But Master, this servant has low strength and hasn’t received an invitation from the Pantheon. I’m afraid they won’t let me in then.”

Let alone Qi Qingfei, even Qi Tianhu, a martial artist listed on the Gold List, had not received an invitation.

As for Han Jiuqian and Da Xiang and the like, although they possessed the strength of the Heaven List, they hadn’t participated in the Heaven List competition, resulting in their names not being on the list, so they were not on the Pantheon’s invitation list either.

After hearing Qi Qingfei’s worries, Chen Xiao just laughed and said casually, “So what if you don’t have an invitation? I don’t have one either!”
