The Martial Alliance is the most evil and largest force in this martial world.
The current state of the martial world, full of deceit, bloodshed, and disregard for morality, is all related to the Martial Alliance.
The head of the Martial Alliance, Wen Xishu, is a prize that people like Xiao Jianglong, dedicated to chivalry, are eager to claim.
However, Wen Xishu is overwhelmingly powerful, with numerous experts under his command. Even someone as strong as Xiao Jianglong can only live in this world... elusive and hard to find.
In today's martial world, it seems that only that reclusive legend might be capable of defeating Wen Xishu.
Upon meeting Xiao Jianglong, Liu Jianxin's foremost thought is to poison him.
Poison is a wonderful thing, though despicable, it can bring everyone down equally.
Nevertheless, Liu Jianxin is still waiting for the right opportunity.
After drinking and exchanging cups with Xiao Jianglong for a long time, the two of them, following their arrangement, vowed to be brothers.
The Inconstant Sword in Liu Jianxin's hand astonished Xiao Jianglong even more.
"Unexpectedly, even though he submitted to the Martial Alliance, his heart still yearns for justice. On this occasion, as you rid the world of bandits, he actually gifted you a sword. It seems he, like many others, was coerced into submission by Wen Xishu's tyranny."
Not far away, Wen Xishu, disguising as a passerby, found himself amused yet helpless upon hearing these words.
This feeling was indeed novel, being someone that everyone wishes to eliminate, yet no one can reach.
After Xiao Jianglong and Liu Jianxin finished drinking, Xiao Jianglong's story mission officially triggered.
Quickly, Xiao Jianglong received a message from the Beggar Sect, saying that in the apricot grove, members are holding an enforcement meeting.
Hence, Xiao Jianglong headed to the apricot grove.
Liu Jianxin, under the secret hint from Wen Xishu, also went to the apricot grove.
Subsequently, Xiao Jianglong's identity as a Beihu person was exposed.
At the enforcement meeting, the four Great Elders' faction split, with three elders considered to have betrayed. However, Xiao Jianglong suppressed the rebellion.
Attempting to harm the sect leader is a serious crime. Yet, Xiao Jianglong not only implemented the sect's rules on himself, but also stabbed himself three times.
This scene almost made Liu Jianxin burst out in disbelief.
"What kind of brain-dead end-stage wuxia disease is this?"
Liu Jianxin was very disdainful, as Xiao Jianglong's martial strength was such that the entire Beggar Sect combined couldn't defeat him. At such a time, who else could question him?
What does it mean that I am a Beihu person?
I could kill all doubters with a single palm strike, let's see who else dares to say I am a Beihu person.
Liu Jianxin witnessed firsthand how dense Xiao Jianglong could be.
Clearly, they betrayed you, yet you still penalize yourself for them. He grew increasingly confident that he could poison Xiao Jianglong tonight.
But at this moment, members of the Martial Alliance arrived.
Variables emerged.
A large group of experts from the Martial Alliance appeared in the apricot grove, surrounding the Beggar Sect members.
Leading them was a martial strongman named Murong Xing.
For a long time, Murong Xing was as well-known as Xiao Jianglong. However, people did not like his character.
After all, Xiao Jianglong had been resisting the Martial Alliance, doing what was right yet difficult.
But Murong Xing, in order to revive a certain long-lost great country, served multiple masters, eventually joining the Martial Alliance.
Yet, people never doubted Murong Xing's martial skills.
The Martial Alliance had numerous experts, while the Beggar Sect found themselves extremely passive at this moment.
At this time, from afar, Wen Xishu had already seen the "simulation result."
The content of the simulated deduction was as follows:
Liu Jianxin immediately realized that the location of the Beggar Sect's enforcement meeting was exposed, indicating the presence of an internal traitor.
With enemies surrounding them and the traitor hidden, Xiao Jianglong was severely wounded...
This must be the calamity of the Beggar Sect. I must find a way to build a good relationship with the Martial Alliance using Jin Wuming's Inconstant Sword to demonstrate my affiliation with the Martial Alliance. But before that, I need to use my sworn brother status with Xiao Jianglong to assassinate him.
Beast.
A pure beast.
Wen Xishu wondered why Liu Jianxin had such darkness in his heart.
The life in Niu Family Village was peaceful and isolated, logically, Liu Jianxin should have been a person with a chivalrous heart, yet...
How did his thoughts become filled with betrayal, treachery, and selling out friends for glory?
However, if he wants to be a beast, Wen Xishu wouldn't give him the opportunity either.
The Beggar Sect members soon engaged in combat with the forces of the Martial Alliance.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jianglong quickly faced off against Murong Xing.
The scene became immensely chaotic.
Liu Jianxin did not take action because once again, the voice in his mind appeared.
[Will you assist the Martial Alliance, doing what's easy but wrong by killing your sworn brother, or will you help your brother fend off the Martial Alliance?]
[It seems you easily made your choice; you, Liu Jianxin, are a Sword Hero. Can you stand by and do nothing while your sworn brother is in trouble?]
[You decide to use the Original Heart Sword Technique to defeat Murong Xing with one strike.]
Liu Jianxin was speechless.
That's South Murong, as famous as North Jianglong and a new force in the Martial Alliance.
You want me to use the shoddy swordsmanship my father taught me to defeat Murong Xing?
And defeat him with one strike?
If I can survive, let alone backstab my sworn brother, I'd even use a spear to stab my foster father.
Without a doubt, Liu Jianxin very much wanted to surrender swiftly and then backstab Xiao Jianglong.
Xiao Jianglong's martial skills were exceedingly powerful, with a palm technique that was extraordinarily fierce.
Even though he was severely injured, he forced Murong Xing to retreat repeatedly, not daring to confront him directly.
But Murong Xing also knew that as time dragged on, Xiao Jianglong's injuries would worsen.
He wasn't in a hurry, simply prolonging the situation.
[Detected insufficient chivalrous spirit in the Sword Master. Please attempt to arouse a chivalrous heart and unleash the strongest strike.]
Wen Xishu simulated the system's speech and found it quite amusing.
