At the command given by the tall man in black robe, the other men in black robes around him all moved at once, walking towards Ji Shan step by step.

When Chang Sheng saw this scene, he immediately felt relieved.

He was afraid that Ji Shan would suddenly change his mind and really join the adults' army.

The reason why Chang Sheng was so contemptuous of Ji Shan before was not because he had military power under him.

But it is the mountain that Chang Sheng leans on, an existence that Ji Shan cannot shake.

Otherwise, with Chang Sheng's power, he would never dare to be so presumptuous in front of Ji Shan, the imperial merchant.

If Ji Shan also joins the adults, Chang Sheng will definitely be liquidated by the other side.

This was also the reason why he was so panicked when he saw the tall man in black robe was about to give Ji Shan another chance.

But now that idiot Ji Shan had given up his only way of survival, completely angering the officials from the palace, Chang Sheng could finally put his mind at ease.

"Butler Li, go and inform my daughter immediately and ask her to leave through the secret passage!"

Seeing that the men in black robes were about to start taking action, Ji Shan immediately turned around and gave a stern order to Butler Li.

Butler Li was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Ji Shan with complicated eyes.

Steward Li has been following Ji Shan since he was young, and the two have supported each other all the way to where they are today.

And until now, Ji Shan had no intention of doubting it at all.

Butler Li couldn't help but feel a little regretful even for entrusting his most precious daughter to him to take care of.

But soon this regret was swallowed up by the greed in his heart.

The complicated look in his eyes gradually faded away, and Butler Li bowed his head and said respectfully, "I understand, Chief Shopkeeper, I'll go right away!"

After Butler Li finished speaking, he escaped from the back door of the reception room, escorted by two guards.

Some men in black robes saw Butler Li leaving and wanted to chase after him, but before they could take any action, they were stopped by Chang Sheng.

"Let him be."

Chang Sheng sneered and looked at Butler Li's departing back.

A man in black robe suddenly flew up and was about to kill Ji Shan, but was intercepted on the spot by a green light.

"Manager Ji, please leave first. The two of us can take care of it here."

Then Xuanyuan Li and Ji Dali walked out from the crowd at the back and stood on both sides of Ji Shan.

"Mr. Xuanyuan, Mr. Dali, you..."

"This matter is a disaster for my Ji family. There is no need to implicate the two of you!"

Ji Shan was stunned when he saw Xuanyuan Li and the other two taking action, and then he spoke hurriedly.

The meaning of his words was very clear, he hoped Xuanyuan Li and the others could leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

"Oh, Shopkeeper Ji, after all, we still owe you a meal."

"Yifeng once told us that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. With such a kindness, how can we two let you face these vicious guys?"

Xuanyuan Li laughed loudly, and the wings of heaven spread out behind him, and a red battle blade condensed in his hand.

Ji Dali on the side was also ready to fight, with a surging fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Xuanyuan, why are you talking so much nonsense? Just go ahead!"

Ji Dali roared, and the fighting spirit that had been suppressed for a long time burst out.

Like a tiger emerging from the mountains, the energy around him exploded, knocking away all the black-robed men who were attacking him.

Then Ji Dali pounced down and knocked a man in black robe out of the reception room with one punch.

"Oh?"

When the tall man in black robe saw this, interest flashed in his eyes.

"It's quite interesting. I didn't expect that the small imperial merchant Ji family actually has such a master hidden."

"It seems that the adults' decision is correct. Destroying your Ji family is indeed a good choice."

The tall man in black robe said in a deep voice, then he stepped on the ground and his figure instantly disappeared.

Ji Dali, who was wreaking havoc on other black-robed soldiers, suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing from behind him.

As the pores all over his body suddenly contracted, Ji Dali turned around and punched hard.

There was a loud bang, and the two fists collided in the air. The burst of air blew away all the surrounding soldiers.

"Boy, what's your name?"

"Why haven't I seen you in Ji's house before?"

The tall man in black robe stared at Ji Dali, feeling the force coming from the tip of his fist, and asked in a deep voice.

"Heh, before asking someone's name, you should first tell them your name!"

Ji Dali sneered, and a bright golden light shone around him, and the power of his fist suddenly increased several times.

The tall man in black robe didn't expect Ji Dali to have such explosive power, and was knocked hundreds of meters away on the spot.

"Well, that's interesting."

After a light cough, Gu Mie looked at his fist and saw that most of the skin on it had been ulcerated.

This strike is enough to show how powerful Ji Dali is.

"Hahaha, interesting, I am Gu Mie, one of the royal guardians of the Tianyu Empire!"

Gu Mie laughed wildly and tore off the black robe disguise on his body.

Under the black robe, Gu Mie's skin was as bronze as ever, and his muscles bulged all over his body, like a black tower.

As Gu Mie's fist landed, the ulcerated skin on the tip of his fist began to recover at an extremely fast speed.

"As far as I know, there are no other body-refining cultivators in the empire except me."

"I didn't expect to meet a physical cultivator who is on par with me today. You have to play with me for a while, otherwise it will be too boring!"

Gu Mie stretched his neck and said to Ji Dali with contempt.

"Oh, it's just what I want!"

Ji Dali sneered, stepped on the ground and turned into a shadow, rushing straight towards Gu Mie.

For a moment, the two figures kept flashing, and all that was left for the others to see were the afterimages that kept disappearing in the air.

"Damn it, when did the Ji family find such a master?!"

Chang Sheng gritted his teeth as he stared at the two afterimages that kept crossing each other in the air, and couldn't help but clench his fists.

Fortunately, the Lord sent help this time, otherwise if Chang Sheng came alone, I'm afraid the entire army would be wiped out.

"However, besides that guy, there is another troublesome existence."

Chang Sheng took a deep breath and turned to look at Xuanyuan Li, who was using the Wings of Heaven to defeat one black-robed man after another.

In Chang Sheng's perception, this guy with wings on his back seemed to be a bit stronger than the one who was fighting with Lord Gu Mie.

Without Gu Mie's support, Chang Sheng had no confidence to defeat this man.

"Where on earth did Steward Li go? Why hasn't he brought the person back yet?"

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Chang Sheng's forehead. At this moment, the situation on the field was developing in a direction that was completely unfavorable to them.

The only possibility to turn the tide of the battle is to wait for Butler Li to bring back that dead girl Ji Huanying!

That’s right, Chang Sheng wanted to make this operation a sure success.

Before the action, he deliberately called Butler Li out alone and told him to take advantage of the chaos to control Ji Huanying.

By then, with Ji Huanying as a hostage, there is no need to worry that Ji Shan will continue to resist.
