It's clearly a crossover game, but the system insists it's a pirate game.

Why should a man be in charge?

That's because men are expected to shoulder responsibilities!

Despite Zhou Ye's cold and indifferent expression, she didn't reveal the truth. In the end, it was Zhou Ye who softened first: "I don't want you to bear too much. I want to share the burden with you, and it's not just me, the sisters feel the same way."

"There are some things you don't need to know, because knowing them will only add to your troubles. Don't worry, I will only handle what I can handle, and for what I can't handle, I will discuss it with you. What you need to learn is to trust me."

"good!"

In terms of absolute trust, Wuqing was indeed a little lacking, because she was the last to arrive, and also because of her profession, some habits couldn't be changed too quickly. But now that things have been discussed openly, there's nothing to worry about.

The credit for solving the case ultimately went to Wuqing, because Zhou Ye had already prepared the case file for her and handed it over to Wang Shenglan and the others to be sent back to the Divine Marquis's Mansion.

Nothing is more convincing than a case file submitted by the victim himself.

Baili Changqing was also a clever man. He also released the news, but he hid Zhou Ye and mainly highlighted Wuqing's ability to solve cases. At a gathering of friends, he exclaimed, "Wuqing the Divine Detective has sharp eyes."

This was just normal praise in the martial arts world, but some people felt itchy all over after hearing it. After finding out Wuqing's itinerary, they arranged a series of assassinations on the way.

Of course, the closest any of these assassinations came was the first one. Although it was thwarted, it gave Zhou Ye a real fright. On the way thereafter, he would occasionally activate his Observation Haki to sense things in advance. After six assassinations, they arrived in Jiangling.

However, Zhou Ye did not go home. He believed that these assassinations were the work of the Azure Dragon Society, so he needed to take revenge!

Just as he made up his mind, Tongzi also joined in the fun:

"The host has been found to be courageous enough to challenge the Four Emperors. For each pirate force affiliated with a Four Emperor that is destroyed, the host will receive a corresponding reward based on the host's performance."

Looking at the system's prompt, Zhou Ye's heart was not stirred at all, because the system was a bit stingy. It picked a Shichibukai, but what kind of things did it give him? This subordinate force of the Four Emperors is not even comparable to the Shichibukai. What good things could it have?

Although Zhou Ye was reluctant, he wouldn't refuse. He was definitely going to do the work, and the extra rewards from this system were free. He had no reason to refuse something that was free, right?

The Azure Dragon Society has always been a real legend in the martial arts world.

Those who knew of its existence were either dead or had submitted to its command; those who did not know of its existence simply regarded the Azure Dragon Society as a story of the martial arts world.

But Zhou Ye was different. He knew the Azure Dragon Society better than even the dragon leaders, and he knew what forces they had under their command. In one night, he destroyed eleven of the Azure Dragon Society's secret outposts. Within fifteen days, he destroyed fifteen Azure Dragon Society branches. At the last location, Zhou Ye left a note with few words on it, but it left the Azure Dragon Society members completely baffled.

I'll be waiting for you at the foot of Zhou Mountain—Zhou Yeliu

The note was delivered to Gongzi Yu immediately. After reading it, Gongzi Yu looked at the people around him with a confused expression and asked, "When...did we become enemies with this person?"

Zhou Ye and Zhou Shan became famous after the Great Joyful Bodhisattva was killed in one move, but the Azure Dragon Society hadn't had time to contact them yet. Jiangling wasn't a big city, nor was it a strategic location that needed to be fought over by military strategists. There weren't any large martial arts forces around it either, so the Azure Dragon Society didn't have any people stationed there. The Zhou family's fame came too suddenly, so contact was definitely necessary, but not now, and there was no need to rush.

So, not to mention Gongzi Yu, the other members of the Azure Dragon Society were also very curious about when they had offended this person.

Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment and replied, "I'll go."

Gongzi Yu trusted this elder of the Azure Dragon Society quite a bit, and nodded in agreement.

The seemingly kind-faced Bai Xiaosheng is actually the biggest troublemaker in the martial arts world!

He arranged the weapons list, but excluded the demonic sect and female masters. Others might not see it, but Zhou Ye knew that his purpose was to incite conflict between the righteous and the demonic, and even gender conflict, to make the martial arts world more chaotic.

People with discernment completely disregard this weapons ranking list and don't care about it at all. However, the martial arts world is mostly populist, who go to great lengths for fame and fortune. So now, many people are holding their breath, just to be able to be listed on the list.

The Heavenly Secret Staff is elusive;

The mother-and-child dragon and phoenix rings were stolen and haven't been found yet.

The legend of Li Xunhuan's flying daggers hitting their mark every time was broken by the Bodhisattva of Great Joy.

If the top three are acting like this, what about the rest?

There weren't many people left gathered at the foot of Zhou Mountain. Many of those who wanted to stay had given up the idea of ​​climbing the mountain to challenge it. Instead, they were using the maze formations on Zhou Mountain to study the maze formations, hoping to forge their own path in the art of formations. As for the others who were eager to become famous, they had all left. Their target was the other people on the list.

If I defeat them, I can take their place and become famous throughout the land!

By then, they too can form gangs and factions, just like Shangguan Jin Hong, and roam the martial arts world freely.

Therefore, Zhou Ye didn't have a good impression of this Bai Xiaosheng. What he hated most was this kind of cunning and scheming person. So when he saw him, his expression wasn't very pleasant either. So Zhou Ye didn't wait for him to speak at all, but instead started to expose Bai Xiaosheng's secrets one after another, making the killing intent on Bai Xiaosheng's body grow stronger and stronger!

"Baiyujing has been found? Now that you've escaped, who's guarding the Twelve Towers and Five Cities? Do you think Gongzi Yu and Mingyue Xin can trust you? You've been the Dragon Leader twice, ranking third both times. Aren't you aggrieved? That idiot Gongzi Yu probably hasn't seen through you yet, has he?"

The "world's greatest sage," Bai Xiaosheng, was speechless for a moment. He could only stare intently at Zhou Ye, his mind racing to see if Zhou Ye was some old monster from the martial arts world pretending to be young.

Seeing that he remained silent, Zhou Ye clapped his hands lightly and stared at him, saying, "Gui Dongjing is just a branch leader, and you haven't even reported his true identity to the court... I really didn't expect his position in the Azure Dragon Society to be so important, so important that you arranged six assassination attempts on the more than 500-mile journey. Since your Azure Dragon Society has too many people, I'll help you wear them down. You won't be angry, will you?"

Bai Xiaosheng, being a seasoned veteran with a deep mind, completely ignored Zhou Ye's previous questions. After regaining his composure, he said, "Hero Zhou, have you misunderstood? The Azure Dragon Society did not arrange any assassination..."

Zhou Ye laughed, leaning closer to Bai Xiaosheng. "So tell me, we just dealt with Gui Dongjing, and the assassination attempt came right after. Who could be the real culprit?"

Bai Xiaosheng suppressed his urge to act and sincerely sighed, "It really wasn't us. Don't worry, Master Zhou. Leave the investigation of the real culprit to the Azure Dragon Society. We will definitely give Master Zhou a satisfactory answer."

Zhou Ye straightened up and looked at him with a regretful expression, saying, "You can really hold back from making a move. Fine, I'll wait for you because you're so patient. I'll still be here next month on this day. If it's past that time... I'll destroy Wanxiang first, then break Hanjiang. Even if Bai Yujing appears then, he won't be able to protect the Azure Dragon Society."
