Liu Zixuan, seeing the disbelief on his face, Zuo Tongyu immediately said, "The year I came to the Celestial Capital, it was Old Man Jin who helped me get to where I am now, so he and I were quite close despite the age difference!"

"I've also worked with Old Jin a few times, and our relationship is even closer. Now that you've killed him, and Old Man Jin is gone, naturally, I have to step up and demand justice from you!"

Liu Zixuan shrugged his shoulders, "Don't make it sound so noble. Who knows, maybe you're just eyeing the highest position in West City and want to use this opportunity to rise up!"

Zuo Tongyu's eyes flashed with a strange light at these words, but Liu Zixuan caught it. His lips curled up slightly—it seemed he guessed right.

In this world, there aren't really so many people avenging others without reason; it simply aligns with their interests!

Previously, Wu Mei had also said that Zuo Tongyu had been doing quite well in the Celestial Capital over the years. Still, like the Qu family, being outsiders, they only have a small foothold.

Now that the shield for the top ten influential figures is gone, naturally, some people want to use this opportunity to rise up.

After all, most people aren't like Liu Zixuan; they don't mind being someone's lackey as long as they can stand higher and gain more benefits.

Apparently, Zuo Tongyu is just such a person. Having some connection with Old Jin's family, he is conveniently using this as an excuse to pick a fight.

Liu Zixuan killed Old Jin, made a name in one battle, and became famous in West City, attracting the attention of those big figures.

Now, as long as Zuo Tongyu kills Liu Zixuan, he will also attract attention from the top ten figures, and by then, rising up would just be a matter of words!

Zuo Tongyu snorted coldly, "Liu Zixuan, don't think of shifting the topic. One thing is one thing; today, I'm here to avenge Old Jin!"

"Revenge!" Immediately, over ten strong men behind him shouted in unison, their voices deafening, echoing throughout the street.

Liu Zixuan crossed his arms in front of him, smiling sardonically, "I was thinking of ignoring you, but since you've come knocking, let's settle both old and new scores together! Back then, Sister Wu let you off in Ghost Wood City. Here... I won't give you that chance!"

"Don't mention that woman to me!"

Zuo Tongyu cursed grumpily, "If it weren't for you, all of that woman's assets would be mine. If you don't bring it up, I'm still simmering in rage!"

"Just right to kill you and seize Old Jin's assets along with Wu Mei's assets into my hands. By then, I'll be the bigshot in this West City!"

Wu Mei didn't give Liu Zixuan any assets. If you had to trace it to the root, she gave a significant sum to Lingxiu Village.

And before that, Liu Zixuan got billions from Old Jin. If Zuo Tongyu were to get all of these,

then his power would surely be dozens of times stronger than it is now!

Liu Zixuan sneered, "You want to step over me to rise up? I fear you might've calculated wrong!"

"Then let's see the truth by hand!"

Zuo Tongyu snorted coldly, waved his hand toward the multiple burly men beside him, "Let Liu Zixuan experience the might of our Zuo Family Guard Team. Also, listen up, Liu Zixuan hails from Ghost Wood City, so he can count as half my countryman, be gentle, don't just kill him instantly!"

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded in unison, each grabbing a weapon and approaching Liu Zixuan and Luo Xi.

Liu Zixuan glanced over these guys standing before him, they're not completely useless; each of them is a Martial Artist, mostly Earth Realm or Profound Realm middle-stage experts! The strongest among them is at the Profound Realm Peak.

It seemed Zuo Tongyu had secretly strengthened quite a bit in the Celestial Capital over the years!

But unfortunately, they've met Liu Zixuan!

Liu Zixuan gently patted Luo Xi on the fragrant shoulder, "Little lady, stand aside and cheer me on!"

Luo Xi could see Liu Zixuan's confidence; even he didn't fear the top ten figures, how could he fear these guys? She immediately waved her small pink fists and shouted loudly, "You must beat them up so badly that they roll on the ground, then make them scrub the paint off the walls and doors with their faces!"

"I like that idea!"

Liu Zixuan's lips curled slightly upward, and the Nameless Sword appeared in his hand.

With a gentle movement of his fingers, the Nameless Sword's hilt emitted a buzzing sound, and the sword body sprang free from the hilt.

The sound of the sword resonated instantly in everyone's ears.

Seeing this, everyone turned serious; lower Realm Martial Artists couldn't see the strength of higher Realm Martial Artists, but just by the Nameless Sword alone, they felt Liu Zixuan wasn't so easy to deal with!

"Distribute to left and right, attack in steps!" shouted the man with the highest Realm in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, they all stood to Liu Zixuan's sides, picking up their weapons and taking on an offensive stance.

Liu Zixuan grinned, "Oh, there's even a Military Advisor! Not bad at all!"

"With such a strong lineup, even if you lose, you can die with your eyes closed!" Zuo Tongyu said proudly.

"Then let's give it a try."

Liu Zixuan said, and just as he was about to make his move, he saw a scene that left him speechless.

From one end of the street to the other, people from all the shops ran out, their destination being his clinic.

Even a bald man came over on a tricycle.

In an instant, a dozen or so small shop owners stood outside the crowd.

Zuo Tongyu frowned and shouted at them, "Get the hell out, don't want to live anymore?"

"You're the one who doesn't want to live!"

The bald man on the tricycle got down, carrying a large sack, and threw it in front of everyone.

With a clatter, several shiny cleavers fell out of the sack.

Those small shop owners didn't hesitate at all, lining up one after another to grab them, and soon each had a cleaver in their hand.

The bald man, brandishing his cleaver a couple of times, glared at Zuo Tongyu, cursing, "Mr. Liu is our savior on Si Ju Road, he's done favors for all of us, now if you want to beat Mr. Liu, you'll have to get through our agreement first!"

Zuo Tongyu's lips twitched a few times, dismissively snorting, "Just you ordinary people, wanting to stop my Zuo Family Guard Team?"

"We can't!" The bald man stepped back. "But the cleavers in our hands can!"

Their voices were thunderous, deafening, and quite imposing!

Even Liu Zixuan, seeing this scene, was slightly moved.

So, helping a cleaver seller once could yield such a grand return.

Turns out, cleavers he knew only for chopping vegetables and meat could also be used to fight!
