Chapter 816 - There's Still Hot Blood in the End

Jianqi Leiyin's heart felt rather complicated, and she was unable to come to a decision.

Different from Streamer and Laojun Temple, Tingyu Floor was an official member of the Shanhai Alliance-Guild Alliance, and Jianqi Leiyin was also extremely familiar with the other members of the alliance.

Between members of the alliance, it was not a pure interest relations.h.i.+p as there was also friends.h.i.+p involved.

To make her betray Shanhai Alliance was asking too much of her.

When Yijian Xilai saw that, he said, "Ah Yin, I know this is putting you in an awkward spot. However, if you do not accept the silver token, with the terrifying methods of Silver Hand, you will not be able to get the Luoyang Satellite City. Losing out on the Satellite City will mean losing the top position in the imperial city. As for the consequences, you understand them, right?"

"Is Silver Hand really so terrifying?" Jianqi Leiyin asked.

Yijian Xilai casually listed the names of the leaders of the top four to five guilds in Luoyang, "These fellows are all backed by hidden aristocratic families, which are all members of Silver Hand. Apart from those that Silver Hand has direct control over, there is even more who are indirectly controlled by the aristocratic families. Even Di Chen and the others are not sure. So, are they scary?"

"...."

Jianqi Leiyin's voice was hoa.r.s.e as the guild leaders of these guilds all wanted to work with Tingyu Floor. If they all backed off and changed their minds, the results would be catastrophic.

Thinking about it now, she truly had no confidence.

The key was that no one knew how many guilds Silver Hand could control if the organization went all out.

Such unknown factors were the scariest.

When Yijian Xilai saw her reaction, he decided to fan the flames, "Working together with Silver Hand is not forcing you to become enemies with Shanhai City. Tingyu Floor would just be choosing a new cooperation partner. If you feel uneasy, at most you can just avoid having conflicts with them. This point is what Silver Hand will not force. I think Qiyue Wuyi could understand the situation that you're in."

This was giving her a way out.

Jianqi Leiyin's expression was extremely complicated, "Do I really have to?"

"You have no choice. Think about it, planning well now is for our future in Planet Hope. Ah Yin, do not destroy your own future." Yijian Xilai said.

Jianqi Leiyin closed her eyes painfully, "I'll take it."

"That's great!"

Yijian Xilai was rather emotional and wanted to hug Jianqi Leiyin. When he walked up to her, he finally realized his actions and awkwardly stopped his hands in mid-air.

When Jianqi Leiyin saw that, she sighed to herself.

The moment she accepted the offer, a sense of uneasiness rose up in her heart like she had made an incredibly terrible decision.

"Unfortunately, there is no way back." Jianqi Leiyin's mood was acutely complicated.

When Yijian Xilai left, Jianqi Leiyin sent a final letter to Ouyang Shuo. The contents were very short, and there was only one sentence, 'I'm sorry, please be careful.'

Jianqi Leiyin thought about it and sent the names of the few guild leaders that Yijian Xilai had mentioned. She believed that Ouyang Shuo could understand what she meant.

"I can only do this." Jianqi Leiyin's heart throbbed with pain.
 ...
Dali, Ministry of Justice Office.

Within the courtyard, 200 constables had gathered. The atmosphere here was incompatible with the Lantern Festival.

On the stairs stood the a.s.sistant minister of the ministry, who was reading the orders to the constables, "Through our investigation, guild leader of Qingfeng Pavilion, Moon s.h.i.+nes over the River, is the Brother of Kunming Prefecture Governor Bai Hua. The two of them are close and are under suspicion of treason. Now we will capture him for questioning to reveal the truth."

"Yes!"

The moment the order was given, under the leaders.h.i.+p of the head constable, the constables charged out of the ministry. When people along the way saw them, they all dodged to the side.

Only when the constables were far away did they start to comment.

"It's the festive season, who committed crimes to actually alert the constables of the Ministry of Justice?"

"Who knows?"

In less than half an hour, they arrived at the headquarters of Qingfeng Pavilion.

When the Qingfeng Pavilion Guards saw the group of constables, they could not understand what was going on.

The constables were not courteous, revealing their capture order and immediately entering the courtyard. The guards did not dare to stop them, and they only arranged for someone to rush to inform the guild leader.

A huge guild naturally was not afraid of the 200 constables. However, these constables were people of the Imperial Court and had a million guards backing them up, so they had to follow their orders.

At the current stage, even Lords like Ouyang Shuo did not dare to directly go against the imperial city, much less those player guilds who relied on the imperial cities to survive.

Of course, under normal circ.u.mstances, the Imperial Court would not find trouble with them.

Gaia had extremely strict restrictions regarding this, especially imperial cities like Dali that lacked a regime. The Imperial Court was like an invisible person that basically would not appear in front of players.

This time was obviously different as someone was manipulating matters behind the scenes. The Ministry of Justice had enough evidence, so they were able to send out the constables.

Moreover, the capture order clearly stated that they were temporarily locking him up. After the investigation, if Moon s.h.i.+nes over the River was found to be innocent, they would instantly release him.

The key was that tomorrow would be the start of the Battle of the Satellite City. Taking him at such a moment would leave Qingfeng Pavilion as basically a headless dragon. The motive behind this move was obvious.

Hence, Moon s.h.i.+nes over the River immediately linked it to the battle tomorrow the moment he received the news.

The matter was just too much of a coincidence!

'Many times, when something is too coincidental, it is not a coincidence but a scheme.' Moon s.h.i.+nes over the River understood this, but he did not dare to escape now.

If he resisted arrest, the Imperial Court would have reason to seal up Qingfeng Pavilion.

At that time, it would be an even bigger catastrophe.

The person behind all of this was truly vicious, keeping silent and only acting on the day of the Lantern Festival. It had caught Moon s.h.i.+nes over the River off guard and did not give him any time to prepare.

"Guild leader, what should we do?"

Using the chance that the constables were still at the door, the higher ups had an emergency meeting.

Moon s.h.i.+nes over the River had already calmed down, "No matter what, we cannot panic and definitely cannot have a conflict with the constables. Qingfeng, go calm down the members."

As the second man of Qingfeng Pavillion, Qingfeng had plenty of might and prestige.

"Understood!" Qingfeng turned and left.

The other guild leader of Qingfeng Pavilion, Night Rain, asked, "What about the Satellite City battle tomorrow?"

Moon s.h.i.+nes over the River said, "Follow the plan. If I'm not here, you and Qingfeng will take the lead. I think the enemy has more than just that one move, so the battle tomorrow will not be smooth. You must be careful."

Night Rain nodded with a solemn expression.

"Also, when I leave, immediately send a letter to Bai Hua and inform her of the events that transpired today. I suspect that this matter is not so simple, and the schemer's plan is not so small." Moons s.h.i.+nes over the River instructed.

When Night Rain heard that, he was shocked and hesitated, "Guild leader, you're saying that their real goal is to go against Shanhai City?"

"It's hard to say." Moon s.h.i.+nes over the River did not dare to make a conclusion, "It is best to be safe than sorry."

Although Moon s.h.i.+nes over the River did not finish his words, his intuition told him that there was a really high chance this move was targeting Shanhai City.

If this was just to stop Qingfeng Pavilion from taking down the Dali Imperial City Satellite City, their opponents did not have the power to influence the Imperial Court to make the Ministry of Justice to act.

Night Rain nodded solemnly.

Just at this moment, noise sounded from the door, and the constables had arrived.

"So that's settled, tomorrow depends on all of you." Moon s.h.i.+nes over the River was a carefree person and did not drag on like an old grandmother.

Night Rain had not even followed him out and a shout sounded out, "I'm Moon s.h.i.+nes over the River."

Night Rain shook his head; his elder brother was still so direct and upright.

Seeing that their guild leader was captured by the constables, all of them were furious, and their eyes looked like they were about to kill someone. If it were not for Qingfeng maintaining order, none of these constables could walk out.

Seeing that, even the head constable felt a s.h.i.+ver run down his spine.

Before this, he did not expect that he would face such a situation.

"Bring him away!"

The head constable did not dare to stay for long, and he captured the person and immediately wanted to leave. If he stayed for longer, his men might pee their pants. These players were extremely brutal like a group of wolves and tigers.

A killing intent permeated the courtyard, making one's heart freeze.

It was no wonder as those gathered in the courtyard were the elite members of the guild.

At this very moment, the clear sky suddenly rained.

Moon s.h.i.+nes over the River stood in the rain; he looked at his brothers and smiled, "Brothers I am only going to drink some tea. For the battle tomorrow, none of you can slack, kill all our enemies."

After pausing, he suddenly exclaimed, "Brothers, can you do that?"

"Yes!"

Hundreds of people shouted together, emitting a menacing aura.

"Haha good!"

Moon s.h.i.+nes over the River smiled, turning around to the constable, "Sir, let's leave." This time, the guest became the one who held the initiative.

When the head constable saw that, how could he reply?

A group of men walked through the rain, quickly disappearing on the streets.

The Qingfeng Pavilion members all quietly looked at the fading back view of the guild leader, their eyes filled with a desire for vengeance.

In the rain, Qingfeng was the first to turn around, "Let's go get some rest. We still have a big battle tomorrow; let's not disappoint the guild leader."

Everyone nodded in silence.

Only Qingfeng and Night Rain stood on the corridor, looking at one another, seeing the worry in the other's eyes.

"This rain really came too suddenly!"
