"God Group, clear the area! Surrender and you're spared!" A buzzing sound came from behind, followed by a hail of bullets that felled a large number of Aurora's men. It was the God Group's Power King, his thick arms wielding a Batlin, firing wildly at Aurora's men as he walked towards us.

"God Group, clear the area! Surrender and you will not be killed!" Zhou Yu of the God Group waved his hand and set up an array. He was once Han Xin's apprentice in the God Group, and he actually knew how to use arrays.

"Amitabha, Oda, please repent and turn back from your misguided path." A loud voice rang out, and an old monk led a group of monks with clubs to defeat a group of Aurora's followers.

"Oda Seiji, your end has come!" Li Xiaoyao led members of the Divine Group and Wudang disciples swiftly through the crowd. As they approached, the Divine Group members and Wudang disciples continuously felled Divine Group members. Li Xiaoyao was not only the leader of the Divine Group but also the head of the Wudang Sect.

"Oda Seiji, admit defeat!" At the same time, the Sword God Nie Feilong, the number one expert in Xiangxi Leng Yan, the Empress Dowager of the Ye family, the sect leader of the Shushan Sword Sect, the head of the Tang Clan, as well as the patriarchs of the four major families, and the big shots of various forces all came with their subordinates.

"More than a decade ago, our entire martial arts world was not united. My Wang family fought to the death, severely injuring you. But today, the martial arts world is united. Oda Seiji, are you still our opponent?" Smiling, Wang Yang's body emitted a dazzling light at this moment.

Chapter 381 Loyalty and Power

Like a supreme emperor, Wang Yang smiled and looked directly into Oda Seiji's eyes. Although his smile was confident and warm, his eyes radiated an unyielding authority. It was as if, in his eyes, Oda Seiji was not a world-class expert, but merely a rebellious subject.

Seeing Wang Yang's stern gaze, Oda Seiji's eyes flickered with panic. He quickly thought for a moment, then clenched his teeth tightly.

Seeing Wang Yang's righteous gaze, he thought for a moment and then burst into a ferocious laugh, "So what if the entire martial arts world unites? Have you forgotten? I, Oda Seiji, am immortal, I, Oda Seiji, am invincible. I am the strongest in this world. Even if all of you attacked me together, could you kill me?"

"Heh, if I can't kill you, then I'll cut off your head so you can never cause trouble again." A cold voice suddenly came from the crowd.

Upon hearing that cold voice, Oda Seiji's expression changed drastically. He then looked into the crowd, and his face instantly turned even more grim.

"A Golden Core stage expert?" Oda Seiji himself was a Golden Core stage expert, and after only sensing that sharp aura, he immediately identified the expert's level.

A stunningly beautiful woman, like a figure from a poem or a painting, quickly emerged from the crowd. Her beauty was beyond compare. The moment she appeared, the bright sunlight seemed to lose its luster, merely serving as a backdrop.

"Mother!" Seeing her unparalleled beauty, my heart couldn't help but clench.

That Golden Core stage expert... she was actually my mother. She truly was the most talented person in the world, the most gifted person in the world.

It turns out that not only Oda Seiji has the strength of the Golden Core stage, but even my mother has the strength of the Golden Core stage.

Does everyone say she's the number one martial arts master? In my opinion, she's not only the number one martial arts master, she's also the number one beauty in the martial arts world.

My mother glanced at me, and her eyes softened. Then, seeing the bloodstains on my clothes, her eyes instantly reddened. "Xi'er, who bullied you? Mother will stand up for you!"

From childhood until I was eighteen, I was always bullied. I don't know how many times I woke up crying from my dreams, how many times I held the phone on Zhang Xuan's doorbell and sobbed, "Mom, when are you coming back to see me? I miss you so much, I miss you so much..."

At that moment, my eyes welled up with tears. After waiting for eighteen long years, I had finally heard my mother say those words.

My nose stung with tears at that moment. Then, I pointed at Oda Seiji, at his six great demons, and the three heavenly kings led by the Azure Dragon, and said, "They bullied me. They not only bullied me, but they also injured my King Serpent..."

Upon hearing my voice, the King Serpent leaped into the air from the river. It spat out a cloud of black mist and roared loudly at Oda Seiji.

"Very well, then your mother will avenge you and kill Oda Seiji, and all those who have bullied you." With a cold laugh, the mother drew her sword.

Among the experts at the Golden Core stage, only Oda Seiji could rival him; the six Heavenly Demons and three Heavenly Kings were no match for him. Seeing my mother declare her intention to avenge me, their faces turned deathly pale.

Sensing the fierce aura emanating from my mother, Oda Seiji thought for a moment and immediately roared, "Evacuate Jiangnan! Break through!"

Faced with the gathering of so many experts and the siege of the Huaxia Divine Group, Oda Seiji knew the tide had turned; he was no match for them. However, he was a peak Golden Core cultivator, and if he wanted to leave, they couldn't stop him. He also possessed the 30,000 troops of Aurora in this ancient town in Jiangnan; if he retreated, he still had a chance to rise again.

However, as soon as he moved slightly, he discovered that one of his hands had turned to stone. And when he tried to channel his inner energy again, his entire wrist quickly turned to stone as well.

"What is this? Am I poisoned?" Oda Seiji stared in astonishment at the king cobra, his eyes darting around.

When my father saw that Oda Seiji was poisoned, his face lit up with uncontrollable joy. Pointing at Oda Seiji, he immediately said to my mother, "My first wife, Oda Seiji has been poisoned! Quick, kill him!"

"You don't need to tell me." The mother glanced angrily at the father, then vanished into thin air and reappeared in front of Oda Seiji, swiftly slashing at him with her sword.

"I am invincible, you cannot kill me!" Oda Seiji roared. Suddenly, he dodged his mother's sword and severed his own left arm with a single stroke.

When Oda Seiji's left arm fell to the ground, it instantly shattered into pieces, like a rock. None of us expected him to sever his own arm. Even as a peak Golden Core cultivator, losing an arm would undoubtedly significantly diminish his power. With only one arm, his future movements would be extremely difficult. Oda Seiji was ruthless; he sacrificed his own arm to stage a comeback.

When Oda Seiji's six demon queens saw his anger, they knew what awaited them in the hands of the God Group. They were criminals; they absolutely could not be caught. With that thought, they immediately followed Oda Seiji and fled to one side, attempting to break out through the ancient town. Meanwhile, the three Heavenly Kings of Aurora were also wanted throughout the world. And every member of Aurora would face the punishment of the law.

"Let's fight!" Seeing Oda Seiji and the six Heavenly Demons lead the escape, the three Heavenly Kings and the Twenty-Eight Constellations of Aurora also quickly followed suit. Then, the peak-level god-level experts of Aurora also quickly opened fire and broke through the encirclement, escaping with Oda Seiji.

Seeing them flee, members of the Divine Group, martial arts practitioners, the Chinese army, and police quickly apprehended them. In an instant, the entire ancient town erupted into chaos, filled with the sounds of gunfire and fighting. But how could Aurora's men, no matter how skilled, be a match for the Chinese army? Although none of them were martial arts masters, they were well-trained and disciplined. The moment Aurora's men opened fire in retaliation, they fell one after another to the muzzle of guns.

My mother, however, did not want to give Oda Seiji and his group a chance to escape. As soon as Oda Seiji ran away, my mother immediately led the heads of various clans and sect leaders in pursuit.

Soon, the people of Aurora were either dead or captured. Seeing his mother and her men getting further and further away, a senior disciple of the Wudang Sect suddenly looked at Li Bihui and said, "Li Bihui, that person is Li Bihui. She is the Bat Princess of Aurora. She's the one who poisoned the river at the foot of the mountain, leaving our entire Wudang sect powerless to fight back. Sect Leader Li Xiaoyao, I hope you will avenge me and capture Li Bihui!"

"Li Bihui? She didn't leave?" Sure enough, Li Xiaoyao's eyes lit up when he saw Li Bihui.

After hearing Li Xiaoyao's words, the father also noticed Li Bihui. At that moment, many martial arts practitioners and Chinese police officers gathered around, all raising their pistols and weapons and pointing them at Li Bihui.

"What are you doing? Li Bihui is one of us. She's joined us. It's because of her that we were able to infiltrate the ancient town of Jiangnan and get the remote control for the bomb that Oda Seiji could use to control the entire Jiangnan region. She's one of us, you can't arrest her!" Li Bihui's father had just died tragically. Wang Che felt incredibly sorry for Li Bihui. Seeing everyone about to arrest her, Wang Che immediately stepped in front of her.

Besides Li Bihui, we also have another Aurora member here, Zhuque. However, because Zhuque is relatively low-key, she stayed in Seoul while they attacked various forces, overseeing the new recruits at the Aurora training camp. Therefore, people don't know her; they only know Li Bihui, who is extremely high-profile during the attacks and often stands with her hands behind her back, looking smug.

When I saw that everyone was about to arrest Li Bihui, I thought for a moment and immediately stood in front of her, shouting, "You can't arrest her!"

“Your Highness, you wouldn’t happen to be attracted by Li Bihui’s beauty, would you? We don’t care what kind of girl you fancy. You are a prince, and it’s only natural for you to take wives and concubines. And if you need a woman and have done a favor for our various sects, we are willing to marry you the best sect girls. But you cannot be with Li Bihui. She is the second-in-command of Aurora and a person close to Oda Seiji. Quickly hand her over to us so that we can judge her crimes.” A senior disciple of the martial arts world said.

“Your Highness, this time I didn’t intentionally cause you trouble. It’s because Li Bihui’s crimes are too great. If she hadn’t been gathering intelligence on our various forces in China for Oda Seiji, our major forces wouldn’t have fallen to Oda Seiji so quickly. Your Highness, please hand her over to us,” said Yang Yuan of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

“Because of us, Li Bihui’s father has died. She is now an orphan. Can’t you just let her go?” I knew Yang Yuan wasn’t deliberately trying to cause me trouble, so I thought for a moment and asked earnestly.

"Hehe. When they attacked our Shu Mountain Sword Sect, seventeen of our disciples died. These seventeen disciples ate with me every day, practiced with me every day, and slept with me. Besides the seventeen disciples who died, we also lost an elder, Wang Xi. If seventeen members of your Wang family died because of me, and I personally killed several of them, and I suddenly say I regret it and want to join you, Wang Xi, are you willing to forgive me?" Yang Yuan looked at Li Bihui's red eyes and asked me with a smile.

“But Li Bihui is not the mastermind,” I said.

"But she killed many of us. And indirectly caused the deaths of many of us. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be in this situation." Yang Yuan shook his head slightly.

“Wang Xi, I know you are kind, but you shouldn’t be kind to everyone. The law has its own justice. Li Bihui is a criminal, and she must be tried by us. Please hand Li Bihui over to us.” Li Xiaoyao smiled helplessly, feeling a pang of heartache as he thought of his deceased disciple.

"Brother Xi, many members of our Tang family have also died. We hope you can hand Li Bihui over to us." At this moment, Tang Xiaomei couldn't help but speak up.

"Your Highness, we all admire your performance at the martial arts tournament. We worship you and have already recognized you as the leader of the martial arts alliance in our hearts. After we defeat Oda Seiji, all our forces are willing to honor your royal family. We hope you will not let a small matter cause you to lose sight of the bigger picture, and that the reputation of a criminal like Li Bihui will not be affected," said an important figure from one of our forces.

“Brother Xi, someone from our Long family also died at the hands of Aurora. Although she didn’t kill them, they died because of her…” Long Yuan frowned and said after hearing everyone’s words.

"Brother Xi, it was Li Bihui who took a liking to my house, injured my father, and stole it. Please, hand Li Bihui over to us. You can't be with someone like her," Wang Xiaojiu said after thinking for a moment.

Seeing everyone pleading with me to hand over Li Bihui and demanding that I sever all ties with her, I couldn't help but look at Li Bihui.

All that could be seen was Li Bihui's bright eyes dimmed, and her long, dark hair disheveled. Because of her betrayal of Oda Seiji, her father had died tragically because of her.

The moment I looked into Li Bihui's eyes, tears welled up again. Then, smiling, she extended her hands to me and said, "Wang Xi, helping you was my own decision. My father's death has nothing to do with you. And I know that Aurora has done too many bad things; everyone in Aurora is guilty. Hand me over to them. I don't like you, and I won't be with you. You don't need to feel guilty. And now that my father is dead, I don't want to live anymore..." With that, Li Bihui couldn't hold back her tears.

Seeing Li Bihui cry, Zhuque couldn't help but want to cry too. An Yao's eyes turned cold at that moment, and after thinking for a moment, she quickly knocked Zhuque unconscious with a palm strike.

She knew that if Li Bihui was arrested, Zhuque wouldn't live a life of dishonor either. Few people knew Zhuque, but Li Bihui was too high-profile, and too many people knew her.

At this moment, she only hoped to save one person at a time. As for Li Bihui, she would find a way to rescue her later.

"Wang Xi, hand Li Bihui over to us..." Seeing that I remained silent, someone urged me again.

Should I hand over Li Bihui? Even though she survived, she pointed a gun at her own head to tell her father she wouldn't betray her allies in order to help us. And me? To achieve great things, I have to pay a price, right? Handing over Li Bihui will make me the leader of the martial arts world, and everyone will respect our Wang family as kings. But if I don't hand her over, I'm afraid I'll have to make enemies of the entire martial arts world.

Peaceful days are finally coming; I've worked so hard to get to this point. I should be able to pretend to hand Li Bihui over, then figure out a way to rescue her. Or, I could pretend to pull out a gun and shoot Li Bihui dead, just wound her, and then revive her later.

However, if I did that, I'm afraid it would deeply hurt Li Bihui.

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and said to everyone, "I will not hand over Li Bihui. If you want Li Bihui, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

"Wang Xi, are you really going to make an enemy of the entire martial arts world because of a girl with a terrible past?"

Chapter 382 Departure

These words came from a young Shaolin monk who was competing with me at the same time. Although Shaolin emphasizes compassion, right is right, and wrong is wrong. Regardless of whether Li Bihui joined us or what she did to atone for her mistakes, she is a criminal—that remains an indisputable fact. And as long as she committed a crime, she should be punished by law.

At this moment, the patriarchs and sect leaders of various families have already gone with my mother to fight the enemy and intercept Oda Seiji. Apart from Li Xiaoyao and some other seniors who stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, the little Arhat here has enough qualifications to speak with me on behalf of the entire martial arts world.

And I watched helplessly as the young monk pressed the crowd relentlessly. Among them were many I was close to, many of whom were women I was about to marry. Even some were future relatives of the Wang family.

I thought for a moment, then glanced at Li Bihui again and said, "Whether I like Li Bihui is a matter for the future. But today, I, Wang Xi, will protect Li Bihui no matter what. Because she said that I am her ally, and she would never betray her ally even if it meant death. And she is also my ally, and I, Wang Xi, would never betray my ally even if it meant death. This has nothing to do with love, but everything to do with morality. I, Wang Xi, will never be a treacherous person!"

“Wang Xi, are you going to associate with criminals? Your father, what a respectable person he is! And you, as Wang Yang’s son, the future head of the Wang family, are you going to associate with a criminal? Don’t forget your identity, you are an Interpol agent. This Li Bihui is an internationally notorious fugitive, the number two figure in Aurora. Are you going to tarnish the reputation of your Wang family?” Chi You couldn’t help but frown as he asked me.

When Chi You spoke, Bi Fang beside him looked at me with expectant eyes. She didn't like me, but she had some goodwill towards me. As we spent more time together, her goodwill towards me grew. Now, she couldn't help but admire and respect our Wang family. She sincerely hoped that I wouldn't say anything that would damage our reputation because of Li Bihui. I am the future leader of the martial arts alliance, and she wanted me to always present a bright and noble image to everyone.

"Heh, if you think Li Bihui is a criminal, then she is a criminal. If you think I'm a criminal too, I won't argue or explain. Anyway, none of you are going to lay a finger on Li Bihui today," I said coldly.

"Wang Xi, don't be so stubborn!" After hearing my words, many people had already picked up their guns and pointed them at us.

"What are you doing? How dare you point guns at my brother? Don't forget who disrupted the Aurora's interior, allowing you to break in so easily. Don't forget who risked their life to save the entire Jiangnan region, taking the bomb remote from Oda Seiji. You didn't even see how dangerous it was for us when we fought Oda Seiji. And my brother sacrificed so much for you, doesn't he have any special privileges to even leave Li Bihui alive?" Wang Che's voice was now filled with determination, ready to fight again for me.

When he saw someone pointing a gun at him, Wang Yu sneered disdainfully, "If you keep pressing me, my Wang family doesn't mind becoming the next Oda Seiji and Aurora. If you have the guts, you can try. I, Wang Yu, would like to see whether my Wang family is more powerful, or your entire martial arts world is more powerful."

"Wang Yu. Are you starting to bully others just because your Wang family is powerful? So what if your Wang family has an army? So what if you, Wang Yu, are the leader of the Black Dragon Society? So what if your Wang family has influence throughout the world? So what if your fiancée is Princess Namiko? Do you think the entire martial arts world is inferior to your Wang family?" Someone was instantly enraged by Wang Yu's words.

"Wang Yu, you're being arrogant." Even Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but frown upon hearing Wang Yu's words.

“I have the right to be arrogant,” Wang Yu said coldly.

Indeed, Wang Yu had every right to be arrogant. He was the first person in the world to reach the Heartbeat level at such a young age, and he was also the most talented person in the world.

When Wang Yu responded disdainfully to Li Xiaoyao, An Yao, Wang Huan, Wang You, and Wang Che immediately stood by my side. Nie Xiaohai and Tong Jialing'er were also there. They all showed their support for me through their actions.

If we fight again, they will definitely fight the entire martial arts world because of me.

Wang Che, seeing the somewhat bewildered Liuli, said, "Liuli, come stand here too."

“No, Sister Hui’er is a criminal. Even if she is a good person, she still did something wrong, and she should be punished by law.” After thinking for a moment, Liuli immediately ran to Li Xiaoyao’s side and said.

"My good disciple, you are just like your mother in personality." Seeing Liuli obediently standing on the opposite side of us, Li Xiaoyao smiled.

"Damn, Liuli's acting up again!" Seeing that Liuli didn't support him, Wang Huan couldn't help but show a helpless expression.

"Does your Liuli have a bad relationship with you?" Nie Xiaohai was slightly surprised that Liuli was on the opposite side of them.

“She’s all about principles, not family ties. That’s why Liuli has no friends. In our Wang family, apart from Wang You who can tolerate her, none of us associate with her…” Wang Che said helplessly.

"Hehe, silly girl." Hearing Wang Che's words, Wang You didn't feel there was anything wrong with Liu Li not supporting him. On the contrary, her eyes showed doting affection as she looked at Liu Li with heartache.

Seeing that our two sides had begun to confront each other, a new battle was about to break out. Wang Yang suddenly flew into a rage. He quickly sided with Li Xiaoyao, pointed at me, and shouted fiercely, "You unfilial son, kneel down!"

"Father, what are you doing?" I was shocked; I hadn't expected my father to suddenly scold me. In my memory, he had never been this angry before.

"I'm asking you. Are you really willing to make an enemy of the entire martial arts world for Li Bihui?" Wang Yang said, glaring at me fiercely.

"Yes!" I said firmly after hearing Wang Yang's words.

"Fine, then get out of here. Go back overseas and be the head of your Wang family. I, Wang Yang, have no son like you. Come see me again when you've gotten Li Bihui pregnant. No, no, I mean when you've come to your senses. But if Li Bihui is pregnant, then this matter is over. Pregnant women are pitiful; pregnancy is a very difficult thing for a mother. I believe that we righteous people in the martial arts world will not make things difficult for you!"

"Get out! Get out now! I don't want to see you. Take your Li Bihui and your King Serpent and get out of here! I have some pills; take them to heal your wounds. You probably haven't been to the treasure I pointed out, have you? Go find that treasure for me now. You bastard, get out of here, get out of here!" With that, Wang Yang walked over and shoved me forcefully. He kept shoving me, pulling my hand onto Li Bihui's. Then he made me pull Li Bihui along while he kept shoving me. Then he pushed the King Serpent that had just swum to my side.

Wang She only listens to me and has no hostility towards Wang Che except for me. When his father pushed Wang She, Wang She immediately reacted with instinctive disgust and shouted at his father.

My father didn't take the king cobra seriously at all. He just punched it hard and yelled at it, "You beast! What are you yelling at me for? Take your boss and get out of here! Don't let me see you again!"
