Okay, what’s that look on your face? I did this just in case; you look as if I’m meant to be dead! I don’t believe anyone in this world can kill me!

With your cultivation and strength, few people in the world can beat you, right?


Of course!
Wang She smiled.
But if those old ones don’t play fair and join together, I’ll be badly hurt at least!
He gave a sigh,
well, that’s all, this thing depends on you. Remember, that everything I asked you to do must be done after confirming my death!


Chief Wang, rest assured. I’ll be sure to help you to do it properly!

Wang She nodded, quite satisfied with Junior Leopard’s reaction. He said,
OK, you should be careful, too. I have told you that the world was gonna change. Staying here is a good choice, but if I were you, I would try my best to control the whole Luo River. Thus affecting all of Zhonghe City.


This…

Junior Leopard was about to answer him, but he only saw a flash of green shadow. Wang She had gone.

What a quick body movement! It’s almost equal to my Three Realm Division! He’s indeed a Level Nine expert. Even though he just ascended into it, a nobody like me can’t compare to him!
Junior Leopard admired in his head and then looked at the parcel in his hand smiling hopelessly,
Well, I’ll keep it for him and wait till he comes back. I don’t believe he’ll die in Northern Yuan!

Junior Leopard thought of it. Picking up the parcel and exerting his body movements, he went back to his room. Hiding the parcel, he felt relieved.
Lying in bed, Junior Leopard’s curiosity came up.

Why did he ask me to hand it over to Ji Zhongtang? I didn’t hear they had any special relationship!


Moral Fighter
Ji Zhongtang could only be called a master of martial arts, though his cultivation was not the top in Jianghu, his reputation was no less and even better than that of any expert in Jianghu. The reason was that he was very loyal to friends.
There were many people who were loyal to their friends in this world, but there was only one person who could be called
Moral Fighter
. That was Ji Zhongtang.
He was called
Moral Fighter
because of an old-fashioned, yet true story about gratitude and resentment in Jianghu.
It happened 30 years ago, Ji Zhongtang was not known as
Moral Fighter
then but known as Guanxi Sworn Brothers with Lu Bei, the father of the White Blademaster Lu Shaoyou. They had been sworn brothers.
30 years ago, the two brothers were both young and both of them reached Level Three in cultivation. They were only ordinary people among all mortal beings in Jianghu. The difference was that the Lu Family was a thriving family in Guanxi, which although was not a well-known family, still ranked as a powerful family, while Ji Zhongtang’s family was very ordinary.
He met Lu Bei in Jianghu, and they became sworn brothers because they were congenial with each other. Then they spent several years together in Jianghu. They had a reputation in Guanxi, although they had not made a go of it. They then married and had children respectively. Lu Bei’s child was the present White Blademaster Lu Shaoyou. However, peace did not last long. When Lu Shaoyou was not yet five years old, the Lu Family encountered a big change. Somehow, the Family offended Yin Killing Sect, a branch of Dark Sect.
A powerful family like the Lu Family was still far from the strength of the Yin Killing Sect, though it had already declined. Add to that the vicious style inherited from the Dark Sect. Overnight, they killed the entire Lu Family, along with Lu Bei killed at home. Only Lu Shaoyou and his mother, who was visiting the parental home, escaped.
It was just that the Dark Sect was always killing all of the targets, they had figured out the Lu Family before they started. How could it be possible to forget about Lu Shaoyou, the family’s most immediate lineage?
Not finding him in the Lu Family, they continued to chase. Getting the news, Lu Shaoyou’s mother was afraid that her mother’s family would be involved, so she fled with Lu Shaoyou overnight. Unfortunately, it did not save the family.
The Yin Killing Sect did this event very neat and swift completely wiping out the whole influence of the Lu Family in Guanxi. By the time Ji Zhongtang heard the news, it was too late.
His sworn brother was already dead. Fortunately, the son of his sworn brother was still alive with his mother. In order to save Lu Bei’s only child, he ignored his family’s advice and went to rescue him. Thanks to his timely rescue, he saved Lu Shaoyou before the Yin Killing Sect killed him, but Lu Shaoyou’s mother was at her last gasp.
Lu Shaoyou’s mother did not know feats, so the killers sent by the Yin Killing Sect only reached Level Two or Three in cultivation, not masters. Besides, there were not many killers. However, Ji Zhongtang was at the peak of Level Three in cultivation and was raging at that time. Naturally, the killers could not beat him and were all killed by him.
Nonetheless, the trouble did not end; Ji Zhongtang became the Yin Killing Sect’s target. He was born ordinary; the powerful Lu Family was destroyed, not to mention him.
Fortunately, it was because of his modest backgrounds and his parents’ early death that there were not many people involved. In addition, he lived in a secret place, so for a time, the Yin Killing Sect could only send masters to pursue. Later, when the masters got closer, Ji Zhongtang had no choice but to make up his mind to lead them to his own home.
It was this behavior that made him the name of
Moral Fighter
and illustrated his cruelty.
At home, he hid Lu Shaoyou in the cellar first, and then hugged his son to replace Lu Shaoyou. Anyway, they were five or six-year-old boys, and the man who hunted them had never seen Lu Shaoyou. This was like
the Orphan of Zhao
in the history of Junior Leopard’s previous life. The difference was that Ji Zhongtang was more ruthless than Cheng Ying. In order to save Lu Shaoyou, he not only made his son a scapegoat but also killed his wife who tried to stop him.
It was also quite legendary for Ji Zhongtang to survive. Holding his own son, he was forced to the edge of a cliff by three masters of the Yin Killing Sect. With no way to escape, he jumped off the cliff. Fortunately, he survived by a vine in the cliff. However, his son accidentally fell from his hand in midair to the bottom of the cliff, with nothing left.
After hiding under the cliff for three days, he dared to climb up and found Lu Shaoyou in the cellar. Lu Shaoyou had never dared to make a sound and was nearly starved to death. They went into hiding and left Guanxi afterwards. It was not until 15 years later Lu Shaoyou, the disciple of Golden Lights Cave and the deacon of Mingyi School, the youngest Level Seven expert in the world, appeared in the martial arts world. He went to Guanxi and killed the entire Yin Killing Sect himself with his sword, which amazed people in Jianghu that this event was exposed. That Ji Zhongtang was the
Moral Fighter
also spread around the Jianghu and became an instructive anecdote.
It was indeed an instructive anecdote. No one would be always smooth sailing in Jianghu. If there was a loyal friend like Ji Zhongtang, even if something bad happened, there was no need to worry about the family.
However, ask yourself. Perhaps no one could do that except Ji Zhongtang who had done it.
Therefore, there was only one person who could be called
Moral Fighter
and there was only one Ji Zhongtang as well.

What is exactly the relationship between Wang She and Ji Zhongtang? I’ve never heard that they had any connection. But they had a conversation when Wang She had a fight with Lu Shaoyou… Wait!

With the change of his expression, Junior Leopard’s eyes began to flash with a passion for gossip. After all, he had read so many fantasy novels in his previous life, so his mind was quite divergent.

Now that the story of this Master Ji is so dramatic, it’s not surprising that there’s a dramatic end. Is Wang She the son of Ji Zhongtang, who fell off the cliff? Yes, it’s possible, at least in terms of age. If so, everything is reasonable. No wonder Wang She always had trouble with Lu Shaoyou and even kidnapped his bride. It explains the matter!

He did not think about that he was involved in the bride kidnapping as well, but he had no grudge against Lu Shaoyou and Ji Zhongtang.
But for such things, simply thinking was useless. It required evidence.
The best way to know the answer was to open the parcel and read the letter. However, even if he were brazen, he would not dare to do so!
If Junior Leopard were to open the letter now and knew Wang She’s secret when Wang She just left and Wang She came back alive at last, Junior Leopard would really be in danger.
Therefore, though the fire of gossip in his chest burned strongly, he held back, lest he should get into trouble.

Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Something’s wrong! Something’s wrong!

While still gossiping in the heart, Junior Leopard heard an exclamation outside. His face grew darker,
what are you yelling for? Has the sky fallen?


No, no, not the sky!
The man who rushed into the room, gasping for breath, was tongue-tied,
no, no, it’s, it’s, it’s that some brothers were beaten!


The brothers were beaten?
Junior Leopard raised his eyebrows and there was a looming cool light in his eyes. It was the River Heart Island, which was his territory, at least for now. Now someone came here to hit his men. Then either the navy had done something too much, or this person just found fault with him on purpose. The first reason was basically impossible. Although Junior Leopard normally did not care about these Water Army Camp soldiers, he had clearly asked Wang Cheng to take military discipline seriously. In addition, he also dealt with some unruly soldiers who made trouble with the owners of passing ships. Therefore, it was possible before, but it was almost impossible now.
Then, there was only the second possibility. Someone was going to make trouble for him, Zhou Bao.

Where’s Commander Wang and the others?


They have already gone there, but the person is so powerful that His Excellency Jiang and His Excellency Zhu have been defeated!


Take me there!
Junior Leopard said in a grave voice and instinctively felt that it was not so simple.
