Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!-Chapter 1552 - 355: The Kunlun Elders’ Trump Card and the Escaping Ugly Girl

"Divine Dragon Tail, Chen Jiusi!"

Elder Qin received a strike of the Divine Dragon Tail, his eyes suddenly rounded, and he immediately guessed Chen Jie’s identity.

It’s known throughout Jianghu that while many people have heard of the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, the complete version is rare. The complete Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms are held only by the Wushan Feng Family lineage.

Moreover, it’s only passed down to the head of the Feng Family lineage, with fewer than five people knowing it.

Elder Qin knows all five of these individuals.

The person before him is obviously not a descendant of the Feng Family; the reasons are simple: age, appearance, plus the accent doesn’t match.

The person before him speaks with a strong Xiantao accent.

Clearly from Hubei Road, along with knowing the complete Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, his identity is already apparent, and he is Chen Jiusi from Huangzhou Prefecture on Hubei Road.

Only he fits all the information before him, hence Elder Qin directly called out his name.

Upon hearing Elder Qin’s words, Chen Jie’s lips slightly curled up; he neither denied nor admitted it, but Elder Qin was already nearly certain of his identity.

"I never expected that Chen Jiusi, who stirred up the entire Wushan and even thwarted King Qi, would dare to come to our Shanxi territory. Surely you don’t really think there’s no one in the Northwest who can deal with you, right?"

Chen Jie heard Elder Qin’s words and replied: "Elder Qin is indeed well-informed and quick to recognize my identity. However, I stand firm on my stance: I have no intention to be enemies with Kunlun. Let’s each take a step back now to avoid making things awkward between us later."

Elder Qin coldly chuckled at Chen Jie and said: "You don’t want to be enemies with us Kunlun, but if that’s the case, why meddle in our affairs? Hand over Liu Futong’s granddaughter to us, and we can pretend nothing happened today. Otherwise..."

Elder Qin paused, his eyes stern, and said: "One of us might very well have to stay here today."

Chen Jie heard this and looked at Elder Qin, saying: "Then there’s no reconciliation possible. Today, I’ll definitely protect Miss Liu, no one will take her away unless I say so."

Chen Jie looked coldly at Elder Qin, and Elder Qin met his gaze without fear, their eyes locked in confrontation, tensions rising.

Elder Qi saw the two like this and spoke up: "Alright, alright, we’re all distinguished figures in Jianghu; why should it come to this? Brother Qin."

Elder Qi stepped forward to advise Elder Qin, who glanced at Elder Qi without speaking, but evident displeasure showed between his brows.

However, he gave Elder Qi some face, knowing although Elder Qi’s martial power wasn’t as strong as his, he was more adept in handling matters, more prudent.

Elder Qin stepped back, handing over the speaking rights to Elder Qi.

Elder Qi looked at Chen Jie and said: "Chen Jiusi, shall we chat?"

Chen Jie looked at Elder Qi and asked: "Oh, what is there for us to chat about?"

Elder Qi slightly smiled and said: "Of course there are things worth discussing. In fact, I’ve always admired you."

Chen Jie looked at Elder Qi with suspicion and asked: "You know me well?"

Elder Qi said: "I’m modestly responsible for handling some intelligence work within the sect, so I know a bit about you. Also, our sect leader Chang Xuzi highly regards you, saying that among the younger generation, nearly no one matches your caliber."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie glanced at Elder Qi and said: "Heh, Elder Qi, you flatter me. Let’s not waste time with compliments; let’s be direct."

Elder Qi gently nodded and said: "Alright, let’s be direct then."

Chen Jie looked at Elder Qi, and Elder Qi said: "Then I’ll be direct, this woman is Liu Futong’s granddaughter. You know that our Kunlun Sect responded to the court’s call to unite with the Six Great Sects to besiege Bright Peak."

"The command we received is to capture this person, providing a card for the court during the siege of Bright Peak. This command not only concerns our Kunlun but also Wudang, Emei, Tang Sect, Five Mountains Sword Alliance, as well as the Imperial Chancellor Tuotuo, Treasure Elephant Army Commander, King Qi, and Ruyang King."

"So many people are concerned about the whereabouts of Liu Futong’s granddaughter; if today you insist on standing out, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Elder Qi, indeed better at speaking than Elder Qin, immediately applied pressure with power.

The meaning is clear: You, Chen Jiusi, want to stand out? Are you ready?

This matter doesn’t only concern my Kunlun Sect but involves the Six Great Sects and even includes leaders of the three major army corps of the court. You, Chen Jiusi, are impressive, but do you dare oppose the commanders of the court’s three major military corps?

Chen Jie heard these words, looked at Elder Qi, and said: "Elder, there is reason in your words, but have you considered that since Miss Liu is coveted by so many prominent figures, naturally she has her extraordinary qualities. Her extraordinary quality, I presume, is her identity."

"Liu Futong’s granddaughter."

Elder Qi didn’t understand what Chen Jie was leading up to and looked at him.

Chen Jie continued: "Actually, if I didn’t know her identity, I wouldn’t intervene today. But knowing her identity, I cannot ignore it."

Upon hearing this, Elder Qi furrowed his brows.

Chen Jie said: "Elder Qi, you have to forgive me for this situation. There’s no choice; as you know, in today’s world, one can’t survive without backing from the Heavenly List. My backing is Peng Yingyu and Monk Peng."

"And Monk Peng is the best friend of Yushan Shangren. If I encounter Yushan Shangren’s granddaughter in distress and don’t help, then when my backing and Yushan Shangren meet in the future and talk about this incident, I won’t look good either."
