The patriarch was only just barely ranked within the top hundred of the Riverwave Commandery.
Rivermoon City was ranked tenth out of all the cities in the commandery. There were nine other powerful cities in front of it, as well as the terrifying Riverwave City.
The top three places on the Ranking Monument of the Jianglang County belonged to the Jianglang County Office, and thirteen out of the top twenty belonged to the Jianglang County Office. Apart from the Jianglang County City, the top three cities were also far ahead of the rest. This was also why the Old Master, the strongest existence in the River Moon City, could only barely be ranked in the top hundred.
That was why Rivermoon City wasn't even worthy of the Riverwave Commandery's attention. Now that Rivermoon City had caused the Riverwave Commandery to lose so much face, they naturally wouldn't let them off the hook.
This middle-aged man was called Huyan Zhao, the younger brother of the Huyan clan's patriarch. He was ranked eighty-seventh, much higher than the patriarch's ninety-eighth ranking. The two of them were at least a bit weaker.
By now, he had already issued a challenge to the patriarch.
If the patriarch was defeated, the entire Silksnow clan would descend into chaos. Even the patriarch of the clan had been defeated. The victor was king, and the loser was the thief. Even if the Silksnow clan didn't perish, it would still suffer humiliation.
In fact, that wasn't all.
This was Huyan Zhao's plan as well.
"Silksnow Dragon, you are a martial artist, and the most powerful existence in the Silksnow clan. Do you not even have the courage to fight?" Huyan Zhao said disdainfully to Silksnow Dragon.
Silksnow Hongji's lips were pale. He had bitten them himself. At this point, he no longer wanted his daughter to marry into the Riverwave Commandery.
Previously, he had felt helpless. He couldn't allow the entire Silksnow clan to perish just because of his daughter, but now he had no other choice. If he had to die, he would die standing.
He stepped forward. "You aren't qualified to challenge my father. I'll fight you."
Silksnow Hongji was the patriarch of the Silksnow clan. Although he wasn't ranked in the top hundred, he was still ranked one hundred and twenty-seventh. He was quite powerful, after all, and was the city lord of Rivermoon City.
As the city lord of the tenth ranked city in the Riverwave Commandery, he was quite strong.
Silksnow Dragon exploded. "Let me! It's been a long time since I've exercised these old bones of mine!"
"Haha, Silksnow Hongji, I'm not qualified. Your father isn't a match for me either. As for you, you're not even qualified to carry my shoes!" Huyan Zhao laughed loudly.
Everything was under his control. He felt relaxed and proud of himself.
At this moment, Qinchuan, Silksnow, and Thousand Leaves walked over and said, "Old man, he really isn't qualified to fight against you. Let Uncle do it. Actually, Uncle will feel a bit wronged if he fights against him, but he's still Princess Jiang Lang's little brother."
This sentence caused everyone to fall deathly silent. Everyone understood that Huyan Zhao wasn't qualified to fight against the old man. If it weren't for the fact that he was Princess Jianglang's younger brother, he wouldn't even be qualified to fight against Crimson Snow Hongji.
"Alright, kid. So you're the one who made that girl from the Silksnow clan fall in love with you. Don't worry today. I'll let you know what a living hell is like." Huyan Zhao looked at Qinchuan as he spoke, word for word.
"You have to take responsibility for your words. You'd better get out of here alive first!" Qinchuan said.
"Don't say that you can't kill me. Even if you could, would you dare to kill me?" Huyan Zhao said coldly.
"Why wouldn't I dare? Killing you would be as easy as slaughtering a dog," Qinchuan said calmly.
These words completely enraged Huyan Zhao. He was just about to attack and kill Qinchuan.
"I don't want to fight you right now. Let Uncle exchange a few blows with you. I hope you'll be fine." Qinchuan's words caused Huyan Zhao to stop.
By now, Crimson Snow Hongji had already walked out.
His ranking was much lower than Huyan Zhao's, and he had only been boasting earlier. He knew that he wasn't a match for Huyan Zhao, but at this point, there was no way out. His only option was to fight to the death.
"Uncle, don't worry. He really isn't a match for you. Killing him will be as easy as flipping your hand. He dared to offend the Silksnow clan and the old man. He deserves a thousand deaths," Qinchuan said.
If Crimson Snow Hongji had the power, he wouldn't hesitate to kill Huyan Zhao. But he didn't.
Ten Flowers Deity Seat!
Whoosh!
Crimson Snow Hongji's face was flushed red with excitement. His current strength was incomparable to before. An increase of more than ten times was simply inestimable. He looked at Qinchuan, his expression one of excitement.
Qinchuan nodded.
With this power, what did he have to fear? Even if someone from the Jianglang prefectural palace came, he would still be able to put up a fight.
This increase in strength was simply too terrifying.
The Ten Flowers divine seat was more than enough, so Qinchuan didn't do anything else.
"You don't know the difference between life and death, Crimson Snow Hongji. Today, I'll make sure you die without a grave." Huyan Zhao walked forward, step by step, directly towards Crimson Snow Hongji.
A large empty space quickly appeared around them, which was now used as a martial stage.
Crimson Snow Hongji calmed down. A confident smile appeared on his face as he walked forward, one step at a time.
Crimson Snow Dragon didn't know why, but when he saw his son's confident smile, he couldn't bring himself to be happy. He didn't want to see his son be heavily injured or even killed.
He was an expert, but he was also a father. He was old now, and could no longer support such a large clan.
Chiba Silksnow looked worriedly at her father.
"You have to trust me. Nothing will happen," Qinchuan said.
"I trust you, Qinchuan. I owe you far too much." Chiba Silksnow looked at Qinchuan with a complicated expression.
"You don't owe me anything. I'm your retainer, and I'm very happy to be able to be your retainer," Qinchuan said with a smile.
Chiba Silksnow laughed. She naturally knew that Qinchuan didn't want to put too much pressure on her.
"You only know how to spout nonsense!" Chiba Silksnow blushed slightly.
"You're shy!" Qinchuan laughed.
"Not at all!" Chiba Silksnow glared at Qinchuan.
Although she was doing her best to maintain her composure, at such a close distance, her delicate skin, her jade-like skin, her pink skin, and her faint fragrance …
"It's over, just like that?!"
Someone cried out in alarm, causing Qinchuan and Chiba Silksnow to come back to their senses. This time, Chiba Silksnow's face turned even redder. Fortunately, no one was paying attention to them right now.
Huyan Zhao was coughing up a mouthful of blood, and his face was deathly pale as he lay on the ground. He stared at Silksnow Hongji in disbelief.
Qinchuan could clearly see that Huyan Zhao's vitality had already been severed. He wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
Next, Silksnow Hongji charged like a tiger into a flock of sheep, unleashing a furious barrage of attacks. Since these people wanted to destroy the Silksnow Clan, there was naturally no need for them to remain.
Silksnow Dragon stared at his son in disbelief. How had he become so powerful? He was so terrifying that he couldn't even sense his son's true strength ….
By now, the members of the Riverwave Prefectural Palace were practically scared out of their wits. They hadn't expected Silksnow Hongji to be so ferocious. He was practically inhuman! That furious barrage of attacks wasn't something they could withstand at all. All of them fled in all directions.
