Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace

Chapter 287 The Great Sage Equal to Heaven

Gu Ye introduced with a smile, "These are all my friends."

Qiu Tian immediately said generously, "Since you're my friend, then I'm your friend too. Let's go in together."

He spoke as he led the group inside.

Yun Qingqing and her group successfully entered Wan'an Manor with Qiu Tian.

The servant in blue led them to a separate courtyard.

"Please rest here, esteemed guests," the servant said, bowing. "The banquet will begin at 5:00 PM. I will come to invite you again then."

After the servants left, Qiu Tian asked Gu Ye, "Brother Gu, are you also here for the position of martial arts alliance leader?"

Before Gu Ye could answer, Qiu Tian continued, "Brother Gu, listen to my advice: this position of alliance leader is not to be touched. Whoever sits in that position will never have peace."

Gu Ye quickly waved his hand: "Brother Qiu, you misunderstand. I'm just here to watch the fun. I have no interest in the position of leader of the alliance."

Qiu Tian laughed and said, "That's good. I was really afraid that you would be too young and impetuous to compete for that empty title of martial arts alliance leader."

Qiu Tian laughed and said, "That's good. With your skills, you could live a carefree life as a chivalrous knight-errant. Just don't get involved in this mess."

As Qiu Tian spoke, he turned to Yun Qingqing and the others, his expression solemn: "You should also never try to compete for the position of martial arts alliance leader. That position is too hot to handle."

Yun Chengxiao replied, "Brother Qiu, we have no interest in the position of martial arts alliance leader and will not compete for it."

Yun Chengying laughed and replied, "We're just here to watch the fun."

Qiu Tian smiled and said, "That's good. You all rest here for a while. I'm going to catch up with some old friends."

Gu Ye smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Qiu, don't worry about us, you go about your business."

As soon as Qiu Tianyi left, Yun Chengying immediately perked up: "Shall we go for a walk around the manor? It's so boring staying in this little courtyard."

Yun Qingqing and the others all wanted to go for a walk, so no one objected. The group left the courtyard and strolled around Wan'an Villa.

People from the martial arts world can be seen everywhere in Wan'an Manor, gathered in twos and threes.

Several江湖 (jianghu) men were discussing around a stone table:

"You're saying there really is a treasure map in this competition? Is the owner of Wan'an Manor willing to give it away?"

"If I had a treasure map, I would have dug it up myself long ago."

"I've heard that whoever finds the treasure on that treasure map can become the ruler of the continent."

"I must get this treasure map."

"This treasure map can only be obtained by winning first place in the martial arts tournament; you can't get it."

"I'm sure I'll get first place; I have a secret weapon."

"What secret weapon? Show it to me!"

The man pulled a black pistol from his pocket and proudly brandished it: "This treasure can hit a target from a hundred paces away and kill without leaving a trace."

Xu Ji raised an eyebrow: "This guy actually has a pistol, could he be from our area?"

Gu Ye smiled and replied, "I'll go ask."

He walked straight over.

Gu Ye walked up to the man and got straight to the point: "Dude, you're from another time too?"

The man was taken aback at first, then frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? I came on horseback."

Gu Ye knew immediately that this wasn't one of their own, and asked again, "Where did you get the things in your hand?"

The man said smugly, "A man sold it to me, saying it was a rare item from overseas. I spent a lot of money to buy it."

Gu Ye's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. It seemed that the man was the one who had traveled from another time. He continued to ask, "What's the man's name?"

"That man's name was something like Qi..." the man frowned, "I can't remember the rest."

Yun Qingqing came over and said, "The Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

The man nodded instantly: "Yes, yes, he's called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven." He then asked Yun Qingqing, "Young Master, how do you know the name Great Sage Equaling Heaven? Do you know him?"

Yun Qingqing replied, "I don't know him, I've only heard of him."

Yun Qingqing asked him, "When and where did you see the Monkey King?"

The man recalled, "Half a month ago, in Lin'an County, Great Zhou Kingdom."

The man pressed on, "Young master, do you also want to buy this treasure from the Great Sage Equaling Heaven? Then you'd better prepare enough money, this thing isn't cheap."

A burly man next to him sneered, "What kind of treasure is this black lump? I can flatten it with one palm."

"Scarface, don't underestimate this treasure of mine. It may be small, but it's very lethal."

Scarface sneered, "What kind of harm can this piece of junk do? Watch me..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man pulled the trigger.

"boom."

The gunshots were deafening, and the rocks behind Scarface exploded, sending debris flying everywhere.

The entire room fell silent.

Scarface stood frozen in place, his face scratched and bleeding from the gravel, but he dared not move.

The man blew away the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle and said smugly, "Scarface, do you still think it's a piece of junk now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, whispers began to circulate among the crowd:

"What kind of hidden weapon is this? It's so deadly!"

"Unprecedented! This treasure is so powerful, it seems we can't beat it."

"This thing is black and ominous; it looks ominous and is probably an evil creature."

Scarface frowned as he looked at the object in the man's hand. "What kind of treasure is this? How can it be so lethal?"
