Chapter 411 Feeling confident
"Liu Xunyi, the Lord wants you to arrest someone. How dare you let Ding Qinghong go on your own initiative? What crime should you be punished for?"

In the evening, in the central hall of Prince Xian’s mansion, Xie Xuan’s face was as gloomy as water, and he glared at Liu Xunyi angrily.

Luo Tianjin sat lazily on the chair, neither happy nor angry, with no emotion on his face.

"Palace Master, Ding Qinghong knows the truth about the six chiefs and four family heads giving up. He also announced that a distinguished guest will visit at 10:00 p.m. tonight." Liu Xunyi explained, "I don't want to miss this opportunity, so I took the initiative to spare his life for now. I hope the Palace Master will forgive me."

"You believed a few nonsense words so easily." Xie Xuan said angrily, "Can't you see that he is playing tricks on you? Ding Qinghong was clearly trapped, but you let him escape. If this matter is made public, the Xianwang Mansion will definitely be laughed at!"

"The Xianwang Mansion has been ridiculed for a long time." Luo Tianjin said, "Xun Yi did a good job in this matter. Compared with finding out the truth, being humiliated by having a coffin sent to him is nothing. What's more, it was us who first framed the 'real culprit' of the Duanwu disaster on Taohua Sword Island. Now it is only natural for them to 'return the coffin'. I really want to see who the distinguished guest that Ding Qinghong mentioned is?"

"Palace Master, this matter is very strange." Xie Xuan pondered, "Peach Blossom Sword Island is a heresy in the martial arts world. Anyone in the righteous world of Jianghu can kill it. How can it control the six major sects and the four great families?"

"The Peach Blossom Sword Island alone cannot cause such a big storm." Luo Tianjin said quietly, "What I'm really curious about is who is the 'ghost' hiding behind the Peach Blossom Sword Island?"

"hiss!"

Luo Tianjin's words gave Liu Xunyi a flash of inspiration, and a very bold guess emerged in his mind.

"They violated the contract, openly stepped into the Central Plains, and even openly stirred up trouble in the martial arts world, disrespecting the Xianwang Mansion and the Golden Sword Dock... All these things are contrary to the past style of Peach Blossom Sword Island. Therefore, if you say that there is no one supporting them, I will never believe it even if you kill me." Luo Tianjin said with a smile, "It seems that the fox's tail can no longer be hidden. As I expected, they have dealt with the six leaders and the four family heads, and the next target should be me."

"The Palace Master means..."

"I can't say for sure! But I'm sure they have bad intentions."

"Report!"

Suddenly, a disciple of the Xianwang Mansion hurriedly ran into the hall, knelt down and said, "Master, there is a guest who wants to see you!"

"Who is coming?"

"The visitor did not give his name, but he claimed to be an old friend of the Palace Master." The disciple reported, "Also, one of them claimed to have an appointment with Hei Zhishan."

"Ding Qinghong!" Liu Xunyi said excitedly, "He's here as expected."

Xie Xuan glanced at Luo Tianjin who remained calm and asked, "How many people are here?"

"There are four of us."

"Four people?" Luo Tianjin snorted and laughed, "Four people dare to 'provoke' the Xianwang Mansion? Are they too confident, or do they simply not take us seriously? Ha! Serve tea to welcome the guests!"

"Yes!

After a while, led by the disciples of the Prince Xian's Mansion, a group of four people came to the central hall as if strolling in a garden.

Leading the group was a white-haired old man with a very energetic look.

He has red lips and white teeth, a ruddy complexion, a long breath, a deep gaze, a head of silver hair that is neatly combed, and a moon-white robe that gives him a bit of an immortal air, like a hermit from the world.

In front of him, even the unruly Ding Qinghong had to be respectful and retreat behind him.

In addition, there were two serious middle-aged men. One was wearing a white robe and holding a Sunlight White Jade Sword. The other was wearing a black robe and holding a Moonlight Ink Wash Sword.

The one in white robe is called "Ji Hou".

The one in black robe is called "Fuyin".

The two were collectively known as the "Sun and Moon Twin Swords". They had once followed the Peach Blossom Fairy to overcome all difficulties and conquer the world, earning a great reputation in the Central Plains martial arts world. However, later on, the Peach Blossom Fairy was injured by Luo Tianjin and retreated overseas, and the Sun and Moon Twin Swords disappeared.

Today, the long-lost Sun and Moon swords reappear in the martial arts world, and the profound meaning is self-evident.

What the disciple who reported the incident said was correct. Among the four people who came to visit today, except for the young Ding Qinghong, the other three were all Luo Tianjin's "old friends".

Especially the old man in the lead, who made Luo Tianjin's expression change, and a long-lost solemnity appeared in his eyes.

"It's you?" Xie Xuan said in a complicated tone, "Back then, you defeated four of the seven heroes in the Xianwang Mansion with one move of the Thousand Feather Peach Blossom Sword. I still remember it vividly."

"Your Dharma's teachings are so amazing that I will never forget them." The old man replied with a smile, then turned to Luo Tianjin and bowed slightly, saying meaningfully, "I haven't seen you for many years. Lord Luo has become famous in the Central Plains martial arts world. I miss you very much."

"Yuwen Xiu, judging from your posture today, it seems that you have replaced your senior brother and become the new owner of Peach Blossom Sword Island." Luo Tianjin's attitude towards the old man was far less polite than the old man's to him. Yuwen Xiu was the old man's name. He was the junior brother of Peach Blossom Immortal and had followed his senior brother to wreak havoc in the Central Plains and bring chaos to the martial arts world.

It is worth mentioning that Yuwen Xiu had defeated four masters, Jiang Yiwei, Yan Bugui, Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang, in a row, and he and Xie Xuan had a life-and-death contest of equal strength, which ended in a loss for both sides.

"My senior brother has passed away long ago. I, the old man, inherited his will and made a special trip to the Central Plains to pay a visit to Lord Luo." Yuwen Xiu smiled indifferently, then sat down without being invited, and took the initiative to pick up a cup of tea and sipped it carefully.

"You are just like him, you both like to be mysterious and take things without asking." Luo Tianjin said sarcastically, "If you are the honored guest that Ding Qinghong mentioned, I am bound to be disappointed."

"I understand Lord Luo's thoughts, but I wonder if Lord Luo understands why I'm here?" Yuwen Xiu put down his teacup and asked with a mysterious smile.

"Speak frankly."

"It's very simple. I hope that Lord Luo can give up the fight for the leader of the martial arts world." Yu Wenxiu got straight to the point. "As long as Lord Luo agrees, I can forgive Luo Hongxuan for raping Zhongli Wanying and pin the blame on Peach Blossom Sword Island. It can also be considered a favor to Lord Luo. How do you think?"

"hiss!"

Yu Wenxiu's frank words made Luo Tianjin and others' eyes change, and their expressions became strange.

"You sent someone to deliver a coffin, cursed my son first, and then let Ding Qinghong play tricks on my people in Tianxiang Tower. You just wanted to show off your power to me." Luo Tianjin said calmly, "How is it? Are you satisfied with being led by Luo Tianjin's nose?"

"Since Lord Luo already knows who is the master and who is the follower, why not give me a straightforward answer to save everyone from wasting words?" Yuwen Xiu admitted generously, "Give up the fight for the leader of the martial arts world, do you agree or not?"

"Ha ha……"

Suddenly, Luo Tianjin laughed out loud, his laughter was full of contempt and disdain, and he said sarcastically without any hesitation: "Did I see it wrong? Or did I hear it wrong? You and your group of four went deep into my house, and you dared to order me to follow your orders? Yuwen Xiu, your arrogance is far better than your senior brother. But you are more stupid, more ridiculous, and less self-aware than him. I am very curious, who gave you such courage? How dare you speak rudely in front of me without knowing the consequences?"

"you……"

"Hey!" Without waiting for Ding Qinghong to refute, Yuwen Xiu waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile, "Lord Luo is born with a clever tongue, always eloquent and loves to talk nonsense. Let's just let him be. Why bother arguing?"

Having said that, Yuwen Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Luo Tianjin with a half-smile, and said sarcastically: "Besides, Lord Luo's face is thicker than the city wall. No matter how hard we talk, I'm afraid we can't hurt him at all. Haha..."

"Oh!"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xunyi slammed the table and stood up, angrily scolding: "Yuwen Xiu, be careful of the harm caused by your mouth!"

"Little brother, you may not look very old, but you have quite a temper."

After that, Yuwen Xiu no longer paid attention to Liu Xunyi, and cast his eyes on Luo Tianjin, whose face was uncertain, and said, "Lord Luo, the leaders of the six major sects joined forces, but they were still no match for my senior brother. But you were able to seriously injure him with just one move. Is it because your martial arts are unfathomable, far better than the leaders of the six major sects? Or is it that someone took advantage of the situation and won unfairly?"

Xie Xuan's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Yuwen Xiu, stop talking nonsense..."

"No problem!" Yuwen Xiu said with a smile, "What was the situation like back then? Palace Master Luo knows it very well, and there is no need for me to remind you. If my senior brother had not been concerned about the lives of the disciples on the island, how could he have compromised so easily? And he would not have endured humiliation for more than ten years, allowing you so-called righteous people to brag about yourselves."

Luo Tianjin sneered and said, "Yuwen Xiu, are you crazy? How dare you come to my territory and talk nonsense? It seems that you don't plan to leave alive today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of disciples from the Xianwang Mansion armed with knives and swords quickly rushed into the central hall.

Many masters, led by Jiang Yiwei and Yan Bugui, were there, each of them staring eagerly and ready to go.

Luo Tianjin said: "Since you have fallen into my trap, I am naturally willing to fulfill my promise and get rid of a scourge for the martial arts world."

"Why? Lord Luo wants to kill me?"

"The leader of a heretic should be killed by anyone." Luo Tianjin nodded without denying, "If you dare to come here tonight, you should have expected your own end."

"I thought that after more than ten years of training, Lord Luo would become more mature and stable. I didn't expect that you are still as short-sighted as you were back then." While chatting and laughing, Yuwen Xiu reached into his arms and slowly took out a package.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he leisurely unwrapped the package and said, "Of course you can kill the heretic demon. But do you dare to kill the imperial official?"

When the package was opened, a genuine official seal of the Song Dynasty appeared in front of everyone.

"The emperor personally appointed me as the 'Wulin Hou' of the Song Dynasty, in charge of the people who practice martial arts. Any Han people who disobey him are considered to be rebelling against the court and betraying their ancestors. Luo Tianjin, do you want to be a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust traitor?"
