"Du Shuze directly scolded me for being too stupid. Not only is my strength not even among the top in the Underworld, but I also think about chivalry all the time..."

Li Yijun grew angrier as he spoke, "That guy even said I'm much weaker than Xiang Kunlun, and only fit to be a common soldier!"

He crossed his arms and declared with high spirits, "That's why I went to the Greedy Battalion to prove that I'm definitely not much weaker than Xiang Kunlun, at least I can be a general, not just a common soldier..."

Li Moxuan was speechless. Even he could tell that Fang Wencheng and Du Shu were trying to provoke his competitive spirit and expose his ambition.

But this guy actually thinks he's not much weaker than Xiang Kunlun. You know, Fang Wencheng and Du Shuze have already rejected Xiang Kunlun. Isn't he just belittling himself?

This only further illustrates that he had no ambition whatsoever; he simply wanted to uphold the sense of justice in his heart…

Chapter 141: Jin Lingzi's Drunkenness

"Brother Li, um... could you take me with you?"

Li Yijun looked at Li Moxuan with some anticipation. If Li Moxuan disagreed, he would have to find a way to earn the travel expenses before going.

"Of course, no problem!"

Now that it was confirmed that Li Yijun had no ambition and wouldn't cause trouble, Li Moxuan was quite willing to accept him.

And who knows, we might even be able to follow the trail and poach Fang Wencheng and Du Shuze to help lighten Yuan Xichen's workload...

"Brother Li, thank you so much!"

Li Yijun poured him a glass of wine, saying, "Brother Li, let me toast you!"

Li Moxuan did not refuse and drank the wine in one gulp. After the effects of the alcohol wore off, it was like drinking a beverage...

"By the way, Brother Li, I heard that the Greedy Battalion pays its soldiers based on their rank and contributions. Is that true?"

"certainly……"

"That's wonderful, Brother Li! I'll pay you back for all the expenses along the way as soon as I get my salary!"

"Okay, no problem. I wish you success in joining the Greedy Camp!"

"Then I will accept Brother Li's kind words!"

The two clinked glasses again, and then Li Yijun and Li Moxuan chatted and ate together. However, Li Yijun did most of the talking, while Li Moxuan listened and collected information.

Soon, Li Moxuan returned to his room after the dinner party. As soon as he opened the door, a strong smell of alcohol hit him.

Li Moxuan paused for a moment, then looked at the table. The food on the table had been almost completely eaten, and Jin Lingzi was fast asleep, her face flushed and drooling.

Noticing the open wine jar next to him, Li Moxuan realized that this girl actually drank alcohol.

And was he drunk?

Doesn't this really diminish the value of the Xihe Divine Pearl?

Li Moxuan closed the door, walked to the window and opened it to let in some fresh air. Then he went to Jin Lingzi's side, took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, and carried her to the bed.

After helping her take off her shoes, Li Moxuan covered her with a blanket, then went out of the room and called the waiter over to tidy up the room.

After the room was tidied up and the smell of alcohol had mostly dissipated, Li Moxuan removed his spirit robes and went into the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, Li Moxuan changed back into his spirit robes, walked to Fan Tianyin's bedside, lifted her blanket, and checked her injuries while changing her dressings.

After everything was taken care of, it was already past midnight. Li Moxuan covered Fan Tianyin with the blanket again.

He pulled up a chair and planned to rest against the wall for the night.

……

Hall of Heroes.

"King Xiang, the main hall has been burned down, and all the equipment in the armory is gone. This place is now a ghost town..."

Wu Huo knelt on one knee before Xiang Kunlun to report.

Have you found any trace of Lüxian Palace?

"No, they may have already died in battle..."

Xiang Kunlun took a deep breath, "Step back! I want to be alone..."

"Yes……"

After Wu Huo left, Xiang Kunlun slammed his fist into a nearby pillar, and several cracks spread outwards from the fist mark...

Xiang Kunlun gritted his teeth, "Well done, Li Moxuan!"

After spending most of the day working hard, he not only became a rebel in the underworld, but the Wheel of Reincarnation Pearl also disappeared, his headquarters was breached, and even Lin Leilang and Yang Mie lost contact.

In contrast, Li Moxuan's Greedy Camp not only looted his own headquarters but also wrote a proclamation denouncing him to gain prestige in the underworld.

"King Xiang..."

Wenhuo came over and reported, "Liu Yuchan has arrived..."

"Didn't I say I didn't need his help? Tell him to get lost!"

Xiang Kunlun frowned. He didn't want to involve Liu Yuchan. If this struggle for supremacy succeeded, he, as the older brother, would naturally protect Liu Yuchan.

But even if they fail, as long as Liu Yuchan wasn't involved, he won't be implicated...

"……Yes!"

"Big brother..."

A voice came from behind Wen Huo; it was Liu Yuchan approaching, followed by Wu Huo...

"King Xiang, I can't stop him..."

"You... never mind, step back!"

"Yes……"

Xiang Kunlun leaned against a pillar with his back to Liu Yuchan and asked in a calm tone, "What are you doing here?"

Noticing the fist marks on the pillar, Liu Yuchan said softly, "Big brother, I'm here to help you..."

"I appreciate your kind gesture, but now, go back to your Shuiyun Street!"

If it were anyone else, they would definitely be angry to hear this, but Liu Yuchan knew Xiang Kunlun's personality and knew that he didn't want to get involved.

"Brother, you know I strive for balance, but..."

"Do you think I can't compete with Li Moxuan's Greedy Camp?"

Xiang Kunlun interrupted him and asked in a deep voice.

In fact, he himself knew that the situation of the Hall of Heroes was very bad. The simultaneous opening of multiple battle lines had resulted in too many losses of troops, and he only had four generals under his command left who were still available.

Frankly speaking, the Hall of Heroes is indeed no longer as powerful as the Greedy Camp...

But as the older brother, he naturally didn't want to show weakness in front of his younger brother. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go! The battlefield is not a place for you..."

Under the moonlight, his figure appeared exceptionally lonely...

Liu Yuchan had long guessed that Xiang Kunlun would kick him out, knowing that he didn't want him involved, so he had already made the situation irreversible.

"Brother, I know you want me to stay out of this, but it's too late!"

Liu Yuchan took a deep breath. "I've already sent a challenge to the Greedy Camp, telling them I'll stand against them..."

Xiang Kunlun was stunned for a moment, then turned around and stared intently at Liu Yuchan, angrily saying, "Liu Yuchan, this is a battlefield, not child's play. People will die here!"

"You, now, immediately go back to your Shuiyun Street and stay there until the war is over. I will explain the challenge to Li Moxuan on your behalf..."

It was his own ambition that started this. If he were to be defeated and die, it wouldn't matter. But if Liu Yuchan died because of his ambition, he would never be able to forgive himself.

"Big brother..."

Liu Yuchan realized he had underestimated Xiang Kunlun's determination, but he was also determined not to leave Xiang Kunlun alone again. Helpless, he could only grit his teeth and lie to him for the first time.

“I have received Li Moxuan’s reply; he has accepted my challenge…”

"you!"

Xiang Kunlun was furious with his stubborn younger brother. He wanted to yell at him but couldn't bring himself to do it. In the end, he could only say in a deep voice, "I understand. You can go back now!"

Although he and Li Moxuan had made an agreement on Dead Soul Island that if they met on the battlefield in the future, the victor would not kill the loser, and the loser would have to agree to join the victor and serve the victor.

But Xiang Kunlun didn't think this verbal agreement was of any use. If he, Xiang Kunlun, really lost, even if Li Moxuan dared to keep him alive, would his subordinates dare to keep him alive?

Does he really have the ability to defy public opinion?

As for Liu Yuchan, Xiang Kunlun made up his mind that if he really lost, he would kneel before Li Moxuan and beg him to spare Liu Yuchan's life...

Chapter 142: New Members of the Hall of Heroes

"King Xiang!"

Wu Huo and Wen Huo rushed over, saying, "Four Spirit Masters at the Great Scorching Heat level have arrived outside the city, and they wish to see King Xiang..."

Xiang Kunlun paused for a moment, then, too lazy to chase Liu Yuchan away, said, "Take me there!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Xiang Kunlun and his group arrived outside the city, where a group of Chu soldiers, led by Da Han and Xiao Han, were surrounding the four of them.

The first person on the left is tall and robust, nearly 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick back. He has very short stubble hair and a faint scar on his left cheek that extends from his cheekbone to his jaw.

He wore a monk's robe with a dark patch on his right shoulder, and his thick arms were adorned with gold arm guards. A twisted brass chain was wrapped around his waist.

The second person standing next to him was tall and slender like a pine tree, with fair skin and short, silver-gray hair that was neatly combed back, with only a few sharp, arrow-like strands hanging down in front of his forehead.

He wore a light, dark blue battle robe, over which was a sleeveless half-body light armor. The silver-gray armor plates shimmered like the cold moonlight under the moonlight.

He wore a wide navy blue belt around his waist and black trousers with tapered legs, with two ribbons hanging down from his waist on each side of the trouser legs.

These two are Lu Chengxu and Hua Wuxin...

The third person to their right was a young man with a sharp, angular face, arched eyebrows, and long black hair tied into a high ponytail with a purple-gold ribbon, with a few strands of hair framing his forehead.

The young man wore a purplish-black robe and armor, with a purple-gold lion-shaped ornament on each shoulder blade, a taotie-shaped belt around his waist, and a purple cloak fluttering behind him.

This person is Yuwen Muxi, the former Soul Guardian of Tianbao Street...

The last person was a man around twenty-five years old. His face was sharply defined, with high brow bones and deep-set eyes.

He wore a dark gray battle robe, covered by black armor, with the robe hem reaching below his knees. His shoulder armor featured ferocious bronze wolves, and a dark red cloak hung on his back.
