Holding a lantern, guiding souls across, Lady Hou comes from the underworld.

As the Xuanjing Hall grew, its members gradually increased from just a few to more than a dozen.

When there are many people, things start to become complicated.

Zhai Hui suggested that even when helping the people, some remuneration should be charged, otherwise Xuanjingtang would have difficulty continuing to operate.

In chaotic times, everyone has to survive.

Looking at his brothers in the hall, Zhan Yi listened to their advice, from "not taking a single penny" to a few coins, tens of coins, and even hundreds of coins...

Finally, the starting price became "one ingot of silver".

During this process, "Suspended Mirror Hall" gradually deviated from its original purpose and became, in the eyes of outsiders, a killer organization that could quell civil disputes.

As long as you can afford the price, there's nothing you can't resolve.

Ten years as one day.

They worked in Liangzhou City for ten years, and after accumulating some wealth, they established the headquarters of Xuanjing Hall in the most prosperous section of the eastern part of the city.

From then on, the Suspended Mirror Hall had a place in the entire Northern Territory.

Listening to Yuwen Ji recount events from many years ago, Zhai Hui was somewhat moved.

Anyone would be moved by the thought of past affections…

What's more, they had once faced life and death together.

Xia Ximo suddenly asked, "When the Suspended Mirror Hall was established, there were only the three of you. So who is this so-called 'Sword Breaker'?"

Upon hearing her voice, the people from the Suspended Mirror Hall on the other end were clearly surprised.

They seemed to only then realize that there was a woman in the dungeon!

Yuwen Ji replied, "He arrived after the main headquarters was established, and his initial purpose in appearing was simply to challenge the hall master to a duel..."

Zhan Yi has practiced martial arts since childhood and is an expert in swordsmanship.

After establishing "Xuanjing Hall", its reputation soared even higher.

The so-called "Master of Broken Swords" Li Feng then traveled all the way to Liangzhou City, seeking to spar with Zhan Yi.

At this point, Zhan Yi no longer cared about such empty titles, so even though he received the challenge from the other party, he did not intend to pay any attention to it.

Li Feng was also eccentric. Zhan Yi ignored him and went directly to Xuanjing Hall with his sword box on his back.

The others couldn't stop him in time, and he fought his way to Zhan Yi's side.

Left with no other choice, Zhan Yi had a match with him, but he was defeated in just three moves.

Zhan Yi himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But Li Feng felt frustrated. He said that his expectations had been dashed and there was nothing left for him to cherish in the martial world.

Taking this opportunity, Zhan Yi simply asked Li Feng to stay at Xuanjing Hall.

Although Li Feng has an eccentric personality, his martial arts skills are truly superb. With his help, we are like a tiger with wings.

However, he has a major flaw: he is too arrogant and conceited, only caring about what he himself cares about and never considering others.

He cares about money, so he will never spend money if it's too little.

This has led to Xuanjingtang's prices becoming increasingly higher.

One silver ingot was too little, and it was gradually replaced by one gold ingot.

Yuwen Ji asked, "Is Li Feng still in the Suspended Mirror Hall?"

Zhai Hui did not reply.

Ren Fengjue, with his keen observation skills, could deduce that the two deputy hall masters were at odds...

Then he answered, "He is now a deputy hall master, just like Hall Master Zhai, and he has also become a servant of the Three Holy Sons..."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Ji seemed to have heard something ridiculous and asked with a mocking laugh, "Waiters? They actually willingly serve as someone else's servants?"

Finally, Zhai Hui spoke up, retorting, "The Three Holy Sons are true gods! To serve a true god is a blessing..."

Yuwen Ji was even more astonished, "How could you say such a thing? What's gotten into your head?"

In the Northern Territory, apart from Zhao Wan, it was rare to see someone who did not believe in the Three Holy Sons, which made Ren Fengjue feel inexplicably comfortable.

He immediately said, "It seems that Senior Yuwen really doesn't know anything. Now, not only the Suspended Mirror Hall, but the entire Northern Territory has changed."

Zhai Hui dismissed their ignorance, thinking, "Why should I waste my breath arguing with ignorant people like you?"

Xia Ximo then asked again, "You say the 'Three Holy Sons' are true gods, so why haven't they come to save you?"

These words successfully stirred up the emotions of the people in the Suspended Mirror Hall, and they indeed began to urge Zhai Hui on.

"Yes, Vice Hall Master, aren't you the True God's Servant? The Holy Son will surely be able to rescue us, right?"

"Vice Hall Master, please quickly invite the Holy Son down..."

"We don't want to die here!"

Faced with the chaotic noise around him, Zhai Hui grew increasingly irritated and couldn't help but yell, "What's the rush!"

"The Holy Son will definitely not abandon us! Just wait!"

The voices around him, though quieter, clearly carried a hint of doubt.

Ren Fengjue understood that people are more vulnerable when they are in dangerous situations, and at the same time, they are more prone to doubt.

At this point, anyone who could offer them even a glimmer of hope might be tempted to defect...

So he deliberately said, "Instead of waiting for the true god to descend and save you, you might as well... seize the opportunity yourself."

As expected, everyone was captivated by his words.

They just didn't understand what this so-called "opportunity" meant...

Ren Fengjue then asked Yuwen Ji, "Senior Yuwen, although the so-called Azure Dragon Stone has been put down, surely there are other ways out?"

"what!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Suspended Mirror Hall were the first to respond.

Yuwen Ji smiled, but did not answer directly, only asking, "How did you know that?"

Ren Fengjue's reply was also quite clever: "Because I'm familiar with both the Dali Temple prison and the Ministry of Justice prison..."

Yuwen Ji paused for a moment, then did not reply immediately.

The people of Xuanjing Hall were already in an uproar…

"Is there really another exit here?"

Zhai Hui gritted his teeth and accused, "Yuwen Ji, when you built the dungeon, you clearly said that once the Azure Dragon Stone was placed, there would be no way out!"

Yuwen Ji replied, "When the three of us founded the Suspended Mirror Hall, we also made many enemies in the martial world. The original intention of building this dungeon was that if our enemies ever came knocking on our door, we could choose to settle things here..."

"Zhai Hui, do you still remember me?"

Zhai Hui immediately sneered, "Of course I remember, but now you're using the Azure Dragon Stone against your own people?"

Yuwen Ji retorted, "You still consider me one of your own?"

Zhai Hui fell silent again.

Yuwen Ji couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly and said, "There is indeed another exit in this dungeon. If you want to know, you can, but I have one condition."

These words immediately struck a chord with everyone.

Zhai Hui was also visibly shaken, and he asked hesitantly, "What are the conditions?"

Yuwen Ji asked in a low voice, "Is the Hall Master missing or murdered? Zhai Hui, I don't believe you know nothing about this."

These words indeed struck a chord with Zhai Hui.

In the dim light, although the crowd could not see his expression, they could clearly sense that his body stiffened slightly.

Yuwen Ji knew him well after all, and sneered, "I knew I was right."
