Chapter 138: Chapter 102: The End of the Night "Alliance Leader Fang... The night is perfect. Are you out for a leisure stroll?"
Cao Qiupu stepped forward and clasped his fists.
"So it’s Hero Cao."
Fang Tianrui greeted Cao Qiupu first, then his gaze landed on Chu Qing, noticing the bloodstains on him, he spoke deeply:
"Greetings, Third Young Master."
Today during the daytime, Du Hanyan had publicly called out to Chu Qing.
And Fang Tianrui had noted it down.
Chu Qing nodded slightly, as if acknowledging him.
Fang Tianrui then looked past Chu Qing towards the citizens behind him, sighed softly:
"Tonight’s chaos, though expected,
"my preparations were somewhat inadequate, causing them to be implicated.
"Thanks to Hero Cao and Third Young Master for helping save so many people."
"Alliance Leader Fang, did you really come for them?"
Chu Qing’s eyes slightly lifted, his indifferent gaze settling on Fang Tianrui.
Fang Tianrui shook his head:
"Naturally, not only...
"Besides the citizens, I intend to claim the Divine Blade Hall!"
Chu Qing laughed:
"Alliance Leader Fang is truly candid."
"Today, Jiang Divine Saber and Luo Cheng died at the hands of the Night Emperor; the Divine Blade Hall is now a piece of juicy meat.
"Though I pity the citizens, I can’t ignore such a large piece of meat."
Fang Tianrui spoke brightly:
"You are all insightful people, pretending would only make you look down on me.
"Furthermore, I hope you all might lend me a helping hand."
"Alliance Leader Fang, your words... are rather perplexing."
Bian City chuckled:
"We have never belonged to the Righteous Alliance, why should we assist you?"
"Because my Righteous Alliance is now most suited to take over the Divine Blade Hall!"
Fang Tianrui’s tone was filled with a sense of indispensability:
"The Divine Blade Hall is adjacent to Tingtai Pavilion, but the conflicts between Tingtai Pavilion and Feiyun Valley are intense.
"Should the Divine Blade Hall be handed to Tingtai Pavilion, they wouldn’t have the time to manage it immediately.
"Even if they sent some manpower, it would be difficult to intimidate the surroundings, likely to be swallowed up, causing the citizens to endure martial world chaos again.
"But my Righteous Alliance is different; once taking over the Divine Blade Hall, I would personally oversee, stabilize the situation, settle the citizens, intimidate the surroundings, preventing others from rashly acting.
"As long as the conflict between Tingtai Pavilion and Feiyun Valley persists, they wouldn’t dare touch me.
"As for others... I hope you excuse my directness, they could only cause chaos tonight, after tonight, they won’t have any opportunity.
"Thus, if the Divine Blade Hall falls into my hands, the situation will stabilize as quickly as possible."
Chu Qing looked steadily at Fang Tianrui for a while before speaking:
"Why should I help you?"
"Although I can promise you commitments, but... tonight, the most crucial thing isn’t what I can promise you."
Fang Tianrui held the Iron Spear, pointing towards the citizens behind Chu Qing:
"The most important are them.
"If you all assist me, I can suppress the chaos in Divine Blade City swiftly, preventing innocent citizens from dying at the hands of ruthless perpetrators.
"Of course, if you all are unwilling, I wouldn’t dare force you.
"You are free to come and go at will."
Fang Tianrui’s words were straightforward enough, he didn’t hide his ambitions, and the implications were clearly laid out.
Though ambitious, he wasn’t dislikeable.
Bian City glanced at Chu Qing, seeking his opinion, and Cao Qiupu also remained silent, looking at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing didn’t hesitate either:
"Alright, I’ll help you."
Fang Tianrui was immediately delighted:
