Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 532 Common Enemy

"The purple soul jade is very powerful."

"But I am stronger!"

Liang Jin stood holding a gun, pointing it at the two men in front of him.

The purple soul jade that Zhen Lei just used released a sword technique of a second-grade martial artist.

Such a move is powerful and fierce enough.

However, with the support of some Earth-level martial arts techniques and his Unreturning Spear Intent, Liang Jin's attack power of "One Thought Without Return" has become terrifyingly strong.

This move, "No Turning Back," pursues the ultimate attack power, and is even beyond the ability of a third-rank martial artist to withstand.

If an ordinary third-rank martial artist were to unleash this move, he would probably succumb to the terrifying power and die before he could even finish the move.

But Liang Jinke is different.

His physical body, enhanced by the "Hundred Evils Body Technique," the Crimson Blood Body Refining Pill, the essence blood of the giant snake, and the essence blood of the black snake, has become incredibly powerful.

This makes it easy for him to use this move without any pressure.

Such a terrifying shot defeated Blue Moon and Thunder Suppression without much effort.

at this time.

The eyes of everyone around were still focused on the third person who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

They were shocked that someone could have broken into the battle during the terrifying fight just now.

This person is probably a master!
This is also what the spectators were thinking.

But Liang Jin looked at this person with utter contempt:

"Are there always some cowards who dare not show their true colors but presume to interfere in my grievances?"

There's a reason why Liang Jin looks down on this third party who interfered.

Because this person is not as strong as everyone imagines.

This person is merely a third-rank martial artist.

If it were a one-on-one fight, this person would probably not be a match for Zhen Lei.

This person only dared to show himself after Liang Jin broke through the attacks of Lan Yue and Zhen Lei.

His strength was far from sufficient to intervene in the battle just now.

This person, in particular, doesn't even dare to show his true face.

The man was dressed in a black robe and wore a theatrical mask.

Although he was not tall, he was extremely burly, and his whole body exuded a strong aura of killing intent.

It's not hard to tell that this is a man.

But Liang Jin did not lay a hand on him.

Because this person had already used a secret telepathic technique to speak to Liang Jin:
"Lord Meng, please show mercy."

“Zhen Lei was somewhat offensive just now, and I apologize on his behalf.”

"I hide my face because I don't want others to see it, but not to hide it from Master Meng."

"I am Huo Wei, the Vice Commander of the Zhaoyong General's Office of Ningyuan Army."

"We've come to you this time because we need your help with something important."

As this person spoke, he spread his arms wide, abandoning all defense.

At such close range, he was completely unprepared. Liang Jin only needed to make a slight move to stab him through the heart.

He is showing his sincerity.

Liang Jin frowned slightly.

The Ningyuan Army was a border defense force stationed in Ningzhou to resist foreign enemies from the Western Desert and the Black Dragon Kingdom. It was also one of the most elite armies of the Great Qian Dynasty.

How could a dignified General Zhaoyong of the Ningyuan Army appear here?

This development was beyond Liang Jin's expectations.

Liang Jin pondered for a moment, then addressed the people of Qingyi Tower:
"Everyone, get out!"

With Liang Jin's order, the members of the Green Robe Pavilion had no choice but to quickly retreat from the area shrouded in smoke and dust.

Once everyone was alone, the man who called himself Howe finally removed the mask from his face.

Beneath the mask was an ordinary face.

With his dark skin, he looked like an ordinary old farmer, except for the grim and stern air of someone from the military.

Liang Jin had already used [Thousand Mile Tracking] to confirm the identity of the person in front of him, and there was no problem.

He sheathed his spear and said sarcastically:
"The dignified General Zhaoyong has actually hidden himself and come to see a nobody like me."

"If I say this out loud, won't people laugh their heads off?"

These words made Howe look somewhat embarrassed.

Given his status, he shouldn't have shown up in person, much less have gotten involved in this matter.

In reality, Howe had more important things to do. He was just passing by and planned to secretly cooperate with Zhen Lei and help him out.

Everyone thought that Zhen Lei was able to handle the Qingyi Tower matter entirely on his own.

But who could have predicted that the Green Robe Tower Master's strength would have reached such a terrifying level that even the Purple Soul Jade couldn't deal with him?

This forced Howe to personally come out, reveal his identity, and save Zhen Lei's life.

Howe coughed twice and began to speak:
“Master Meng, we are not your enemies. On the contrary, this time we have a common enemy.”

Liang Jin merely smiled slightly, offering no reply.

Howe could only continue:

"Black Dragon Dynasty's Evil Slayer King".

Upon hearing this, Liang Jin finally showed a serious expression.

The Demon Slayer King was indeed his enemy.

Back then, Liang Jin wasn't strong enough. Although he defeated the Demon King with his battle puppet Iron Madman, he couldn't capture him and he escaped.

No matter who it is, having an enemy with the strength of a second-rank cultivator is never a reassuring thing.

Unfortunately, the Demon King fled back to the Black Dragon Dynasty, so Liang Jin had no choice but to give up.

After all, while the Green Robe Tower could dominate the Western Desert, it was still not strong enough to break into the Black Dragon Dynasty and assassinate the Evil Slaughter King.

Upon hearing the name of the Demon Slayer King, Liang Jin immediately used [Thousand-Mile Tracking] to locate him.

This surprised Liang Jin.

That Demon-Slaying King has actually entered the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty!
And judging from his location, he was also in Yongzhou, probably only a few days' journey from Liang Jin.

Upon seeing this, a murderous glint flashed in Liang Jin's eyes.

Now that the Demon Slayer King has left the Black Dragon Dynasty, Liang Jin cannot allow him to return alive this time.

Howe continued:

"The Demon Slayer King is a prince of the Black Dragon Dynasty. He came to our Great Qian to discuss matters, but he has other missions in secret, which endangers the stability of our Great Qian. His crimes are unforgivable."

"But after all, he represents the Black Dragon Dynasty, so it is not convenient for the imperial court to take direct action against him."

"If we can get help from Qingyi Tower, then if we can completely eliminate them this time, it will undoubtedly be a win-win situation for both of us."

Liang Jin listened and roughly understood.

Simply put, the Great Qian Dynasty also wanted to kill the Evil King, but was worried about causing a diplomatic dispute.

So they let the Qingyi Tower from the Western Desert take action, while they themselves took the blame.

In the end, even if the Black Dragon Dynasty wanted to vent its anger, it could only vent it on the Western Desert Green Robe Tower.

Liang Jin didn't seem to mind.

Although this matter sounds unfavorable to Qingyi Tower, everything has to be about the price.

If the other party can offer a sufficient price, then it's not impossible to do this.

What Liang Jin found slightly strange was that dealing with the Demon King was something that shouldn't be the concern of a border army general.

Howe's position meant that all he needed to do was lead his troops and guard the border.

This matter can be handled by Zhen Lei, or by anyone else.

But it shouldn't have been Howe.

Unless… Howe is also working for a vested interest group. Both Howe and Zhen Lei are just members of this group.

Liang Jin originally thought that Zhen Lei was backed by the God of Catching, but now it seems that this is probably not the case.

At this point, Howe also offered his terms:

"With the death of the Demon Slayer King, the Black Dragon Dynasty may send troops to the Western Desert under the pretext of annihilating the Green Robe Tower, but in reality, it will annex the entire Western Desert."

"But rest assured, Lord Meng, our Great Qian will definitely not stand idly by. We will definitely send troops to restrain the Black Dragon Dynasty and prevent their schemes from succeeding."

"Even if the war goes badly, the Green Robe Tower can move from the Western Desert to our Great Qian territory. With our protection, the Black Dragon Dynasty can't do anything."

Liang Jin listened and smiled dismissively.

Howe's words were downright laughable.

Who in this world would accept the conditions he offered?

All of these are empty promises; whether they can be fulfilled depends entirely on the other party.

If the other party were of high enough importance, that would be a different story, but in the face of such a momentous matter, a mere General Zhaoyong and a famous constable are simply not enough.

However, Liang Jin also knew that this was just Howe's negotiation tactic.

Offer a low price first, then wait for Liang Jin to counter-offer, and finally find out Liang Jin's bottom line before finalizing the price.

Liang Jin immediately replied:

"General Huo is joking."

"If that's all there is to it, then there's no need for us to talk."

After saying that, Liang Jin picked up his gun and prepared to leave.

Howe hurriedly spoke up:
"Don't worry, Master Meng, we can have a proper talk."

"Feel free to tell me what you need."

Liang Jin paused slightly and turned around again.

He looked at Howe and asked:
Why do you want the Demon King to die?

Liang Jin didn't believe a word Howard said.

If the Demon Slayer King is indeed here in Daqian on a diplomatic mission, then even if he has problems, we can simply expel him.

Killing the Evil King would cause a lot of problems.

If we cannot divert the trouble eastward, war may break out.

In particular, the Daqian Dynasty did not have any advantage in military strength over the Heilong Dynasty.

But Howe and his group were determined to kill the Evil King, even at the risk of war.

This is not right.

Upon hearing this, Howe secretly glanced at Zhen Lei behind him.

Taking this opportunity, Zhen Lei calmed down and recovered somewhat. He then explained:

"The Demon King came to the Great Qian Dynasty on a mission, but secretly he instigated the Great Qian martial arts world to hold a martial arts conference, intending to form a martial arts alliance and elect a new martial arts alliance leader."

"Since the founding of our Great Qian Dynasty, there has never been a leader of the martial arts alliance."

"The Demon King's actions are nothing more than an attempt to create conflict between the martial arts world and the imperial court of our Great Qian Dynasty, thereby causing our Great Qian Dynasty to be exhausted by internal strife, so that their Black Dragon Dynasty can reap the benefits."

“Any righteous person in the Great Qian Dynasty would never allow this to happen.”

The leader of the martial arts alliance is a highly respected figure in the martial arts world, who holds an extraordinary influence within the community.

Historically, when the leaders of martial arts alliances were powerful, they could openly challenge the imperial court, even suppress it, and influence the succession of emperors.

In the most serious cases, there have been instances where the leader of the martial arts alliance overthrew the emperor and sat on the dragon throne himself.

Therefore, since ancient times, the imperial court has always tried to divide the martial arts world and prevent it from uniting.

At the beginning of the Daqian Dynasty, Emperor Taizu relied on absolute military force to suppress the martial arts world.

Outside the martial arts world, the Six Doors govern with iron-fisted rule, while inside, the Xuanyuan Sect acts as a spy, serving as the imperial court's lackeys, causing the martial arts world of the Great Qian Dynasty to always grovel at the feet of the imperial court.

That is why, since the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty, not a single leader of the martial arts alliance has ever appeared.

Now that the Great Qian Dynasty is in decline and the Six Doors' influence is waning, it is only natural that the martial arts forces would want to stage a counterattack.

But Liang Jin didn't think these situations had much to do with Zhen Lei's words.

Since Zhen Lei is in cahoots with scoundrels like Li Wei, what right does he have to call himself a righteous person?
These people are full of lies. Do they really think they're easy to fool?

This, perhaps, is their arrogance.

So they have no sincerity whatsoever.

They considered themselves superior and could manipulate a foreign establishment like the Green Robe Pavilion at will, so they didn't take the Green Robe Pavilion seriously at all.

They just wanted to use Qingyi Tower as a dog to do their dirty work...

Liang Jin's eyes slowly swept over Huo Wei and Zhen Lei.

His gaze was unfathomable to the two of them, yet they always felt a chill run down their spines.

Finally, Liang Jin suddenly burst into laughter.

Howe and Zhenlei looked puzzled. They had no idea what Liang Jin was laughing at, or what was so funny about it.

Liang Jin laughed for a while, then suddenly asked:

"Do you two know why my Green Robe Pavilion entered the Great Qian Dynasty?"

Howe and Zhenlei exchanged a glance.

why?
Isn't it all for power and development?

If Qingyi Tower were to dominate the Western Desert, its expansion into all directions would be an inevitable trend.

For what else?
Judging from their expressions, Liang Jin could basically guess that they had no idea of ​​his true intentions.

However, not only could they not have guessed, but probably no one in the world could have guessed that Liang Jin led the Green Robe Tower into the Great Qian Dynasty in order to protect his main body and assist his other clones.

If Liang Jin's intentions are as they guessed, then both sides can continue negotiations and testing the waters.

However, Liang Jin's true desires meant that there were few areas for cooperation between the two sides.

Therefore, Liang Jin spoke up:

"Talking to the two of you is a waste of my time."

"I'll pretend I never heard of this, and I'll pretend I never saw you either."

"Let's go our separate ways and part ways here."

Both Howe and Zhen Lei were surprised to hear this.

Liang Jin rejected him so directly?

Shouldn't we continue to entangle ourselves with them and continue negotiating?

Just as the two were puzzled.

Liang Jin spoke again:

"By the way, the battle just now caused my Qingyi Tower to suffer considerable losses."

"You two each leave behind several million taels of silver as compensation."

"Otherwise, none of you will be leaving today."

By the end, Liang Jin's tone was filled with a chilling murderous intent.

Clearly, he wasn't joking.

These words nearly made the two of them vomit blood.

In the battle just now, Zhen Lei lost a purple soul jade of immeasurable value. Who can he ask for compensation for his loss?
Howe was even more furious. He hadn't participated in the fight, so why was he asking him for compensation?

Unfortunately, neither of them is a match for Liang Jin, which makes it impossible for them to resist.

Howe was about to continue negotiations.

at this time.

Suddenly a voice rang out:
"Master Meng is truly a man of boundless generosity!"

"These two good-for-nothings are blind and have no sincerity in cooperating with Master Meng."

"Master Meng might consider cooperating with us."
