If it were because Ye Xunhuan’s actions in Huaxia had intensified the hidden dragon pressure, wouldn’t it be unlikely for him to show up just now to have a chat with Ye Xunhuan?

To this, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi was utterly puzzled!

"What did he want to talk to you about?" Dragon Ancestor Bodhi instinctively asked.

"Nothing much, I killed a few people from Shu Mountain!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently: "Perhaps they feel that my actions have crossed their bottom line, and they want to have a chat with me!"

Killed people from Shu Mountain?

Upon hearing these words, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi’s eyes suddenly widened, his face filled with disbelief.

Shu Mountain is the most ancient martial arts sect in Huaxia, with a long history spanning thousands of years, a true behemoth!

And now, Ye Xunhuan has killed a few of their people?

Does this guy not want to live on this land of Huaxia anymore?

"What are you implying?" Ye Xunhuan, looking at the surprised Dragon Ancestor Bodhi, asked somewhat irritably.

Dragon Ancestor Bodhi took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then slowly said, "He’s not trying to give you trouble by seeking you out, is he?"

"Do you think they have the capability?" Ye Xunhuan said with a look of disdain: "If I wanted to leave, unless the entire Shu Mountain put forth all their effort, so would the hidden dragon."

"Moreover, Blood Phoenix is currently at my house. If the two of us join forces, imagine how much destruction we could cause to this city and the panic it would induce. I believe they’re very aware of that!" Ye Xunhuan said confidently: "He probably just wants to talk!"

Dragon Ancestor Bodhi had to leave now for business, and Ye Xunhuan didn’t want Dragon Ancestor Bodhi to worry about him or even be delayed by his affair, so he told Dragon Ancestor Bodhi a half-truth and a half-lie!

Seeing Ye Xunhuan say this, the look of worry on Dragon Ancestor Bodhi’s face slowly faded away: "I almost forgot about Blood Phoenix being with you!"

"Alright then, I won’t talk too much. I’ll send you off tonight; right now, I need to meet with the hidden dragon’s leader!"

Saying this, Ye Xunhuan stood up from his desk, ready to leave.

To this, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi didn’t say much more, nor did she secretly follow Ye Xunhuan after he left.

That would be the leader of Huaxia’s hidden dragons, after all. Eavesdropping on his conversation with Ye Xunhuan was not something to be taken lightly.

After leaving the Imperial Map Group, Ye Xunhuan headed straight for Shifeng Garden.

Shifeng Garden is located in the New North District and Shifeng District of Jiangzhong City, covering more than a hundred hectares, a touristic sanctuary.

Shifeng Garden features numerous hills, although not high, they are scattered with elegance, some gentle and some steep, presenting a spectacular view. The garden also contains several places of interest that attract countless visitors every year.

Even though Ye Xunhuan had been in Jiangzhong City for a good half a year, he had never once visited Shifeng Garden—today was his very first time.

If it weren’t for the fact that the leader of Huaxia’s hidden dragons had asked to meet him here, he still wouldn’t come.

Upon arriving at Shifeng Garden by car, Ye Xunhuan parked his vehicle at the side, got out of the car, and looked around.

He did not know where the leader of the hidden dragons was in Shifeng Garden, but he believed that the leader definitely knew of Ye Xunhuan’s arrival.

And would surely have someone fetch him.

As expected, it wasn’t long after Ye Xunhuan got out of the car that a tall, sparse-haired, and dignified middle-aged man approached him.

"Marshal, the dragon head is waiting for you at Wangjiang Pavilion!" the man got straight to the point: "Please follow me!"

Ye Xunhuan nodded his head, didn’t engage in any conversation with the man, and directly followed him towards Wangjiang Pavilion inside Shifeng Garden.

Wangjiang Pavilion has a unique location within Shifeng Garden, almost completely enveloped by all the scenic spots in the garden, like stars surrounding the moon!

Standing in Wangjiang Pavilion, one can vaguely see the scenery all around Shifeng Garden.

Under the guidance of this man, Ye Xunhuan quickly arrived at Wangjiang Pavilion.

Wangjiang Pavilion is octagonal in shape, supported by a platform below, with a double-eaved spire roof, exuding an ancient charm.

Perhaps because it was still early, there were not many visitors in Wangjiang Pavilion.

Ye Xunhuan easily spotted the Dragon Head.

Today, the Dragon Head was wearing a dark blue Sun Yat-sen suit, but there was a hint of the flavor of a Tang suit, typically worn by martial artists.

It was rather eye-catching, and even though the Dragon Head was just standing there in Wangjiang Pavilion, his noble and weathered demeanor of a superior was fully displayed.

Ye Xunhuan saw the Dragon Head, and the Dragon Head also noticed Ye Xunhuan; he nodded towards Ye Xunhuan as a greeting.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xunhuan did not hesitate and walked straight over to the Dragon Head, while the man who had brought him here faded into the background.

As soon as Ye Xunhuan approached the Dragon Head, he immediately said, "I actually thought you wouldn’t come!"

"Rather not, but I was worried some people would stick to you like a plaster," Ye Xunhuan retorted with sarcasm, "I thought about it, and I figured it’s better to come after all!"

The Dragon Head wasn’t angered by Ye Xunhuan’s sarcasm: "Shall we take a walk around?"

Ye Xunhuan nodded, agreeing to the suggestion.

"You shouldn’t have killed Ku Rong!" The Dragon Head said as he walked forward, chatting as if he was merely strolling.

"But he has already been killed by me; speaking of it now is meaningless. Tell me, why have you come to Jiangzhong City?" Ye Xunhuan asked with a balanced tone.

The Dragon Head glanced at Ye Xunhuan and said, "Originally I had almost finished negotiating with the people of Shu Mountain, but with your killing of Ku Rong, all my previous efforts have gone down the drain..."

With that, the Dragon Head sighed softly!

"Now the people of Shu Mountain already know your identity, and they’re sending someone over!"

"To seek death again?" A cold edge slowly formed at the corners of Ye Xunhuan’s mouth.

"If you’re willing to back down, and I help mediate on your behalf, this whole thing can be minimized!"

"Back down?" Ye Xunhuan laughed coldly: "Do you think that’s possible?"

"But you have to try, after all, people can change!"

"This is something I will not change!" Ye Xunhuan spoke emphatically: "If you want me to back down, dream on. Tell the people of Shu Mountain not to provoke me, for if they irritate me, I dare to issue a Marshal’s Order against the whole of Shu Mountain; the moment they step out of Huaxia, I dare have them buried without a place to rest!"

Marshal’s Order!

In the underground world, the Marshal’s Order is the highest command within a Marshal’s kingdom; anyone who receives it must immediately execute the tasks assigned by the Marshal. Anyone who drags their feet or refuses to act will face the Marshal’s accountability!

Now Ye Xunhuan is talking about issuing a Marshal’s Order, aiming to seal the fate of all Shu Mountain’s people within Huaxia.

"Ye Xunhuan, by doing this, you’re playing with fire..."

"The dignity of a Marshal is inviolable, and the head of a Marshal is not to be bowed to just anyone!" Ye Xunhuan responded firmly and defiantly.
