is courting death. Just one person, he dares to challenge the Long Family and the Martial Arts Alliance He's looking for a death!"“We can go collect our winnings now, I told you buying Long Gongzi was...Zha Wuji didn't speak further, but Chang Yujun nodded. He understood who Zha Wuji was referring to.

"Now this is wonderful, Mr. Shi attending the celebration banquet! Our Hufa Pavilion will truly be honored..."

Zhaowujis face was full of excitement.

Chen Ping listened beside them, not understanding a word they were saying. He also had no idea who Mr. Shi was.

He must be a big shot, after all, even high-ranking officials like Chang Yuijun address him with such deference. That means this Mr. Shi is certainly no ordinary person.

Having not stayed at the general's residence for too long, Chen Ping left with Zhao Wuji. After all, it was a celebration today, and there were still many things to be arranged within the Protectorate Pavilion.

"Master Zhao, who was that Mr. Shi you just mentioned"

Chen Ping in the car, curiously asked Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wujie drove the car, glanced around, and then whispered, "Mr. Chen, do you still remember what I told you before, that there is a very secret department in Beijing"

"I remember, you said at the time that this secret department seemed to be the official restriction on the martial arts world."

Chen Ping nodded and said.

"That's right, this Mr. Shi is the person in charge of this secret department's external affairs. However, I don't know what specific position he holds within the department. But if Mr. Shi can speak up for you, then I'm afraid no one in all of Kyoto's martial arts world would dare to touch you!"

Zha Wuji's words deeply touched Chen Ping's heart. Although his strength had grown rapidly now, and he was considered one of the best among the younger generation, compared to the entire martial arts world, he was just a drop in the ocean.

What is this mysterious department And what are the people inside like Chen Ping was very curious.

But he knew that as long as he waited until his strength was sufficient, the level he contacted would be higher and higher.

Back at the Guardian Pavilion, Zhao Wuji carefully arranged the celebration venue. After learning that Mr. Shi was also coming, Zhao Wuji put even more heart into it.

As noon approached, cars started arriving at Hufu Pavilion one after another. They were mostly ordinary vehicles, with no luxury cars in sight. However, the people who got out of the cars were all distinguished individuals.

Zhao Wujī, accompanied by Chen Píng, greeted the guests arriving at the celebration as the host. Even Zhao Wujī himself didn't know who would attend, as the guest list was arranged by higher authorities.

Soon, Chen Ping saw a familiar figure appear.

This man is none other than Xuanyuan Kai, who had his arm chopped off. After getting out of the car, Xuanyuan Kai opened the back door and invited Xuanyuan Rong and Xuanyuan Yan out.

Seeing that the people from the Xuanyuan family had arrived, Zhao Wuji and Chen Ping both stiffened slightly.

"Chen Ping, long time no see…"

Although Xuan Yuan Kai only had one arm left, the imposing aura about him remained unchanged.

Feeling the aura emanating from Xuanyuan Kai, Chen Ping was rather surprised. He hadn't expected this fellow to have broken through to the Martial Sovereign realm. In just over a month since returning from Lock Dragon Island, Xuanyuan Kai had broken through from the peak of Grandmaster to Martial Sovereign, which could be considered quite a genius.

"You managed to kill Watanabe Ichiro, indeed you have some skill. However, even with your great abilities, my revenge for this severed arm will find you."

Xuan Yuan Kai leaned in close to Chen Ping's face, his eyes full of provocation.

Chen Ping looked at Xuanyuan Kai with indifference.

"Master Xuan Yuan, if you are here to attend the celebration banquet, please come in. But if you're here to cause trouble, I'm afraid you've picked the wrong day."

Zhao Wujī was afraid that Chen Píng would clash with Xuanyuan Kǎi, so he hurriedly stood between the two, addressing Xuanyuan Kǎi.

"Zhaou Wuji, of course we're here for the celebration. You think you have the qualifications to ask us to leave"

Xuan Yuanrong looked at Zhao Wujī with a sneer.fere!Back at the hotel, Zhou Jie was carefully wiping the blood from Hu Mazizi's mouth."Miss Zhou, I'm going to treat Master Hu now. Please step aside for a moment!"Chen Ping said to Zhou Jie.Zhou Jie...
