When a person is on the verge of death, his heart is full of fear. However, at this time, the Dragon King’s heart is as calm as water, without the slightest bit of fear.
He closed his eyes and quickly reviewed his life in his mind.
At the age of eighteen, he wandered the rivers and lakes, cultivated martial arts, and fought his way up. Finally, he became a master ranked twelfth on the Tiger List and the king of the underground world in Jiangzhou.
This life can be described as glorious.
What the Dragon King is most proud of is that although he is the boss of the underground forces in Jiangzhou, he has never killed innocent people wantonly, let alone killed the wrong person.
He is worthy of being above Heaven and worthy of his brothers below.
In this life, he has a clear conscience.
He has no regrets about death！
At this time, the sharp edge of the dagger has reached his throat. The Dragon King can feel that as long as the dagger is pushed forward another inch, he will officially leave this world.
Die, since ancient times, who has not died in life.
“Stop！”
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and then a strong wind broke through the air, and a crisp “ding” sound was heard in the ear.
The Dragon King suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the dagger in the young man’s hand was knocked flying. He quickly turned his head to look at the door, and then his face changed drastically.
Ye Qiu, what are you doing here？ Leave here quickly.
The Dragon King shouted. He was already a dying man, and he didn’t want to implicate Ye Qiu before he died.
I’m here to save you.” Ye Qiu glanced at him. Seeing that the Dragon King was okay, his eyes then fell on Cao Yuan in a green robe and asked, “Are you the Nine Thousand Years Old？
That’s right.” Cao Yuan smiled and said, “It’s really a small world. I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon.
The Dragon King looked at Ye Qiu in surprise： “You have met the Nine Thousand Years Old？”
I met him in the hospital in the morning. But at that time, I didn’t know he was the Nine Thousand Years Old.” Ye Qiu then said to Cao Yuan, “Can you spare the Dragon King’s life？
Why do you want to save him？” Cao Yuan asked rhetorically.”
Because the Dragon King has a great kindness to me.
The great kindness you mentioned, is it that he stood up for you in the Crystal Palace last night？ Or is it that Zhao Yun helped you bury Guo Shaocong alive？
Boom！
Ye Qiu’s heart shook violently.
What happened in the Crystal Palace last night is not difficult to investigate, but how did the Nine Thousand Years Old know about Guo Shaocong’s matter？
That day, apart from him and Zhao Yun, and a few of Zhao Yun’s subordinates, there was no one else present. Ye Qiu believed that Zhao Yun and the others would definitely not reveal it. So where did the Nine Thousand Years Old find out？
For a moment, cold sweat broke out on Ye Qiu’s back.
“I guess you must be thinking in your heart, how did I know, right？” Cao Yuan smiled and said： “In this world, as long as I want to investigate, there is nothing I can’t find out.”
Ye Qiu stabilized his mind and asked straightforwardly： “How can you let the Dragon King go？”
Cao Yuan shook his head and said： “The Dragon King must die.”
“Why？”
“Last night, Emperor Xiaoqing conveyed a message on my behalf, but the Dragon King, together with you and Lin Jingzhi, injured him and killed his servants. This is the first crime. When I first arrived in Jiangzhou, I encountered an assassination, and several of my subordinates died. From this, it can be seen how chaotic Jiangzhou is. As the leader of the underground forces in Jiangzhou, the Dragon King has managed Jiangzhou like this. This is the second crime. Therefore, he must be killed.”
Ye Qiu was a little angry in his heart and said, “These two things should not be blamed on the Dragon King.”
”Oh？” Cao Yuan was a bit curious： “Let’s hear it.”
Ye Qiu said： “Xiao Qingdi is arrogant and domineering, and does whatever he wants. But you ask such a person to convey a message for you. I think you don’t know people well and use people improperly.”
“At the banquet, it was Xiao Qingdi who first had the intention to kill and took the initiative to attack us. This is something that everyone present at the banquet is clear about. And we were just defending passively. Killing his servant and breaking his legs were just legitimate defenses.”
“Secondly, when you came to Jiangzhou, the Dragon King was not informed, and you didn’t ask the Dragon King to send someone to protect you. The assassination was completely your personal matter. How could it be blamed on the Dragon King？”
As the master of the Dragon Gate there are many people in the world who want to kill you. You should be the most clear about this. If you had taken strict precautions last night, then how could those who wanted to kill you have had an opportunity?
“As for those few subordinates of yours who died, they died to protect you. If it weren’t for you, then they wouldn’t have died. Speaking of which, it was you who harmed them…”
“Youdaoplaceholder0!” “Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking,” a young man shouted sharply.
Ye Qiu glanced and found that the young man who scolded him was the guy who had held the dagger earlier. Immediately he cursed and said, “I’m talking to your master. How dare a dog like you interrupt?”
“You——”
“What are you！ If you want to be a dog, you must have the awareness of being a dog！”
“Courting death！” The young man was furious and punched Ye Qiu.”
Ye Qiu stood still on the spot. Only when the young man’s fist was only half a meter away from him did he punch out.”
“Bang！”
The two fists collided, making a dull sound. Then, Ye Qiu and that young man both took five steps back.”
“Huh？”
Both of them let out exclamations of surprise simultaneously, both a little astonished by the other’s strength.
“No wonder you’re so arrogant. Turns out you know a bit of lousy kung fu. Come again！”
Boom！
The young man threw another punch.
Ye Qiu raised his fist to meet the attack.
Bang！
The second fists collided.
This time, it didn’t make a dull sound like the first time. The bodies of the two hardly moved at all. The fists just touched slightly and then separated immediately, and then each took three steps back.
“You attacked me twice. Next, it’s my turn to attack you.”
As soon as Ye Qiu’s voice fell, he rushed out swift, his body like a bolt of lightning instantly appearing in front of that young man.
Boom！
The fists of the two collided violently again.
Scrape！
Scrape！
Scrape！
The young man’s body kept retreating backwards. The leather shoes rubbed against the ground and made a “hissing” sound. He didn’t stabilize his figure until he retreated more than a dozen steps.
The young man looked at Ye Qiu in shock.
At the same time, the other two young men behind Cao Yuan stood up and also prepared to take action.
Ye Qiu was fearless and sneered, “So the way Longmen does things is to bully the few with the many. I’ve really learned something today.”
“Stop!” Cao Yuan stopped the two young men and then a strong pressure of a superior emanated from his body, staring at Ye Qiu.
At that moment, Ye Qiu’s whole body felt cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Cao Yuan said in a deep voice, “If someone else talked to me like you, they would already be a corpse by now. But considering that you saved Han Long’s life, I won’t bother with you today.”
”You want to save the Dragon King, right？ Alright, I can let him off, but you must promise me one condition.”
”What condition？” Ye Qiu asked eagerly.
”Find the murderer who assassinated me last night.”
”Okay！” Ye Qiu agreed without hesitation.
”Don’t promise so quickly. I haven’t finished speaking yet.” Cao Yuan continued, “I’ll only give you three days. If you find the murderer within three days, I won’t bother with the Dragon King. If you can’t find the murderer, after three days, I will not only take the Dragon King’s head, but also break one of your arms. Do you still want to promise？”
”I promise！”
As long as he can save the Dragon King’s life, even if Ye Qiu’s arm is broken now, he will still agree.
”Very good. I hope you won’t disappoint me.” After saying that, Cao Yuan left the Dragon King’s villa with the three young men.
