Chapter 216

All the casinos in the Gao Family had the same plaque.

There were four big words on the plaque... Bright Mirror High Hall.

Of course, the only people who could have such arrogance was the Gao Family.

On the surface, these four words seemed to say that in the Gao Family’s casino, everyone was treated fairly, but if these words were to be hung in the yamen, then there was nothing wrong with it.

In other words, the Gao Clan considered themselves the officials of the martial arts world.

In truth, the Gao Family truly did have the confidence to do so.

Before his death, that old master of the Gao Family had made a will, not allowing any descendants of the Gao Family to become officials.

To use such a method to express his stance towards the Swallow King, he would definitely not have any ill intentions.

It was precisely because of this that the Royal Family of the Mu Clan spared no effort in supporting the Gao Family.

With the support of the royal family, the Gao Family had a smooth sailing in the martial arts world. It didn’t take long for them to establish a unique position in the martial world in Fang Shoucheng.

He used another hundred years to completely suppress the martial world beneath his feet.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Gao Clan considered themselves officials of the martial arts world.

There was actually a casino belonging to the Gao Family less than three hundred meters away from the main street where the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect was located.

Similarly, the casino bore the plaque of the Bright Mirror Hall.

At the bottom right corner of the board was a number 123.

This meant that this was the one hundred twenty-third casino opened by the Gao Family.

Skinny Du was squatting in front of the door and looking at the casino three hundred meters away. He had already bitten off the grass in his mouth.

It seemed that the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect was very quiet and ordinary. However, there were nearly three hundred big men behind him, holding long blades in their hands. They couldn’t wait.

A few days ago, Xiao Qidao was kidnapped by the Gao Family, and Lang Jing almost got killed in order to save Xiao Qidao. This kind of resentment never left his mouth, and the men of the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect had long wanted to fight the Gao Family properly.

With a soft pop, Du looked to the north and saw a big firework in the sky.

Signals.

Skinny spat the furry grass out of his mouth, reached behind the door and picked up the long knife. “”Cheers!””

As he strode forward, three hundred large men flooded out of the gates of the sect.

The skinny man and the skinny man, Lan Jing, respectively led their people forward. The other men, who were also wearing dark blue tight suits, were like a huge dragon as they rushed towards that direction. Their imposing manner was like a rainbow.

On both sides of the street, everyone was stunned. They didn’t understand what the Heavenly Ascension Sect was trying to do.

When they saw the hundreds of men heading straight for the Gao Family Casino, their hearts began to beat wildly.

“”My God!””

An older merchant held on to the doorframe to steady himself. “”Master An, you are about to start a war with the Gao Family.””

“”The people from the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect are going to pluck the Gao Family’s land!””

Someone shouted, as if throwing a big rock into a calm lake, and the shops on both sides instantly boiled over.

The timid person leaned against the window and peeked out, afraid that he or she would catch fire.

The bold ones followed behind the Celestial Sect, their faces filled with excitement.

All these years in the capital, the Gao Clan had been doing meritorious deeds. Whether they were playing in the martial arts world or not, such scenes were exciting enough for everyone.

A rookie from the martial arts world challenged the overlord of the martial arts world.

His heart couldn’t take it anymore.

“”What … What are all of you doing?!””

When the few employees guarding outside the Gao Family casino saw the several hundred burly men coming over, their faces turned pale with fright.

That’s right, they had no qualms about relying on the strength of the Gao Family.

However, if he were to face hundreds of murderous men, how could his charisma possibly be raised?

“”Pick it up!”” said Dean, who had been holding up the plaque.

The leader of the attendants nodded and bowed, “”Grandpa Du, Grandpa Du, if you have anything to say, please speak properly.””

“”We can be considered old neighbors now. If there’s anything you can’t talk about, don’t make a move.””

Skinny Dean grabbed the man by the neck and threw him to the back. “”I’m not here to talk. I’m here to fight!””

With a chop of his hand, the plaque of the Bright Mirror Hall was split in half by him.

The plaque fell in two halves. With a sweep of his thin, whip-like legs, the two half plates flew into the casino, slapping the two Gao Family employees below.

“”Gambling money, I’ll count to three and leave.””

Du, the thin man, dropped his knife on the table and shouted as he looked at the people who were still gambling in the room.

Those who were still in high spirits simply ignored him. Some of them looked at Thin Du with gazes as if they were looking at a retard, then they laughed mockingly: “”The Gao Family’s casino, there’s actually someone who dares to cause trouble. I wonder where this countryside brat came from.””

“”One!””

He raised a finger and shouted.

A burly man wearing a black robe came down from the second floor, “”Isn’t this the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect’s Master Du?””

“”What, you want to come to my casino for entertainment?””

Skinny Du nodded his head. “”You’ve come for fun. Two!””

After he shouted, everyone burst out laughing.

“”Hahahaha, I really don’t know how high the sky is.””

What kind of place was the Gao Family’s casino?

Could it be that no one had ever heard of anyone daring to barge into the Prefect’s yamen, but no one dared to barge into the Gao Family’s casino?

“”Someone from King Yan’s Heavenly Temple dares to cause trouble. No one will dare to cause trouble at the Gao Family’s casino.””

“”There are all kinds of people here. It’s not peaceful in this world, there are many idiots.””

“”Scram, I was delayed when I was playing cards.””

One of them grabbed a handful of silver coins from the table and threw it at him. “”You need money?””

I’ll give you some money if you’re short of it. If you take the silver, scram quickly. Don’t disturb my gambling mood.

“”If I win again later, I’ll give you a hundred taels to buy a girl in the pavilion!””

The man in black robes sneered as he walked over. “”Please, Master Du, are you waiting for me to make a move?””

“”Three!””

After counting to three, he took a deep breath: “”Then don’t blame me.””

He rushed forward and the face of the black-robed man changed. He raised his hand and threw a punch towards Du’s thin face.

After he arrived at Fang Shoucheng, he didn’t fight happily. Now, he was suppressing him like a fierce tiger coming down a mountain.

The black-robed man looked very strong, but he was slightly smaller than Du Jin.

His right fist came crashing down, as did Du’s thin right fist.

The two fists met in midair, and with a “”ka-cha”” sound, the man’s arm was broken.

Not only his arm, but all five fingers of his right fist were broken.

The bones of his forearm were broken and protruded from the flesh, which was still covered in bloody shreds of flesh.

Without waiting for the big man to react, he kicked the big man’s lower abdomen with his knee.

The man grunted and fell down in a heap.

Skinny Du lifted him up and threw him to the ground. “”From today onwards, this will be the territory of the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect!””

He pulled the long blade from the table and slashed out.

The saber Qi drew a straight line, and all the tables and chairs were split open wherever it passed.

“”Scram!””

Only then did those shocked gamblers realize that the skinny Du was playing with the truth.

They all stood up and ran out, their tables and chairs overturned.

Some of them felt that their relationship with the Gao Family’s casino was pretty good, so they went forward to question him and were sent flying by a big slap from the skinny Du.

The dozen or so employees in the Gao Family’s casino attempted to counterattack, but in the next moment, they were all tied up like dumplings in the hands of the people from the Heavenly Awakening Sect.

When it came to fighting, the men of the Heavenly Awakening Sect were much stronger than the employees of the Gao Family’s casino.

These employees normally used to using the strength of the Gao Family to intimidate others, so no one dared to provoke them.

The majority of the people in the sect were all criminals that had been gathered from the border. Which one of them didn’t have killing intent?

Not ten minutes later, the 123rd shop of the Gao Family Casino was occupied by Skinny Du.

“”Leave some people here, the others will follow me to the next one!””

The skinny Du roared and led the way to the next Gao Family casino.

At the same time.

The battles within Empyrean Terminus Palace were on a completely different level from the battles between Skinny Du and the others.

For some unknown reason, the Imperial Guards of Empyrean Terminus Palace had suddenly withdrawn.

Even though it was a normal rotation, no one came to replace him.

Not only that, even those palace maids and eunuchs in the Heavenly Temple seemed to sense the ants as they ran away one after another.

Everyone had their own bags in their hands, the same as fleeing a disaster.

At the East Warm Pavilion.

Mu Changyan stared at the wine flags hanging outside the window, lost in thought. He asked An Chengli, who was standing beside him, “”How many people are there who are willing to stay?””

An Chengli replied, “”Reporting to your Majesty, the people we’ve gathered over the years have arrived.””

There were a total of two hundred and sixty-two guards on the surface, and there were still more than a hundred hidden guards.

Most of them were young people, so their cultivation realms were not high.

There were a total of sixty-four people in the Xumi Realm and above who were arranged to be outside the East Warm Pavilion.

Above the state of prisoners, there were nine.

“”Two from the Small Perfection Stage.””

Mu Changyan smiled bitterly, “”I’ve been doing this for years, and in the end, only a few hundred people are willing to risk their lives for me.””

An Chengli shook his head. “”Not only that … some people are still waiting. As long as the situation gets better, those people will impatiently show their loyalty.””

Mu Changyan replied, “”It’s not that easy. There are many people who wish to die alone.””

He asked An Chengli, “”Now that you’ve been exposed, I originally wanted you to hide deeper. In the future, there will still be a way out.””

“”But you don’t want to hide, you want to die with me.””

An Chengli smiled. “”My King, I have thought since I was young that I am definitely not an ordinary person.””

Even if he was not an unparalleled hero in the future, he would still be someone who would leave a mark in history.

But I really don’t want others to see the name ‘An Chengli’ in the history books, and those two words’ Grand Scoundrel ‘were associated with it.

“”Since I’m going to die anyway, I think it’s better to die openly.””

“”Hahahaha!””

Mu Changyan laughed, “”Well said!””

At this moment, countless black clothed people rushed in from outside the high wall.

A large group of ants seemed to have found food as they moved closer to the east side of the pavilion. The densely-packed sight was enough to make one’s heart numb.

“”Kill!””

Someone shouted loudly, and the man in black started to sprint towards the East Warming Pavilion.

“”Guards!””

Duan Ren, who was standing on the platform outside the East Warming Pavilion, shouted and took out his saber.

All the guards raised the crossbows in their hands and aimed at the incoming black clothed men.

“”This is the time when our King needs us the most. It is also the time for us to prove ourselves.””

If the King was present, then the Great Yan Xing would be present.

“”For the King of Yan, for the Great Yan, I will die without regret!””

Duan Ren pointed the long saber in his hand forward, “”Kill!””

All the crossbows were fired at the same time, and a dense barrage of crossbow bolts swept towards the assassin.

The black clothed men at the front were all cannon fodder that attracted attention. In an instant, all of them fell to the ground.

This was probably the biggest humiliation of all since the founding of the Yan Kingdom. The King of Yan had actually been besieged by thousands of assassins in the imperial palace.

It could also be the biggest turnaround, survival, or destruction since the founding of Yan.

Countless men in black fell down, but more and more men in black rushed forward, and soon, they arrived at the periphery of the defensive perimeter of the guards.

Dozens of people wearing long black robes strode into the palace.

Everyone was wearing masks, and only the person walking at the front revealed their faces.

His face was gloomy. It was exactly Gao Yuan Lake.
