The Heavenly Tiger Swordsman
The Surprising Action of the Soldier of Immaculate Conviction

A dozen imperial soldiers looked doubtful, though, having heard them regarding Hao Zhao who had once alluded to the incident between Li Kao as well as Jian San which obviously meant that Hao Zhao had learned of the tournament cheating not long ago.

“What's up? I don't remember when Jian San received the deadly attack you also interfered to stop the match," Hao Zhao said, staring intently at each of the imperial soldiers.

One of them stepped before Hao Zhao, his expression bad there was also doubt there.

“Young Master Zhao, please slow down your voice. Regarding the incident at that time we just obeyed someone's orders, we don't know the reason but if a similar incident happened again here somehow everyone views our performance," said the imperial warrior before Hao Zhao slightly whispering.

Hao Zhao only laughed amusedly at this before saying, “If the incident just then did not many people realize .. wouldn't it matter if something similar happened again?"

The imperial soldier before Hao Zhao was silent, unable to say anything more to deny Hao Zhao.

“Young Master Zhao, back then with now different. Our own superiors were asking at that moment for a while now? Who are you to govern us?" The Imperial Warrior before Hao Zhao after thinking for quite a while.

“I who? I'm a person who is even more worthy of your listening than the boss you mentioned," Hao Zhao said with a grin.

The expression of the Imperial soldier before Hao Zhao immediately turned furious, after which pulling the sword sheathed at the waist before pointing it at Hao Zhao's neck.

Not long after that the other imperial soldiers also did the same while stepping forward, making the dozens of sword blades now unsheathed ready to behead Hao Zhao at any time.

Everything that happened was naturally such a shock to anyone who saw, not least Yue Yie who clearly felt unacceptable.

“What the hell, how could an imperial warrior dare to do such a thing to a match participant." Yue Yie had just risen from her seat when her arm back then was also grasped by Yang Gao.

Yue Yie looked at her teacher not understanding, Hao Zhao was clearly in danger. Seeing her teacher like she was not worried at all obviously made Yue Yie wonder.

“Sit down, there's nothing to worry about," Yang Gao said as if he could guess what Yue Yie's gaze meant.

“But Master, how can we let them point their swords at Brother Zhao?" Yue Yie who was completely dissatisfied with her teacher's orders.

“Yie, listen to your Master," Yang Gao said making Yue Yie couldn't further question.

“Good," said Yue Yie resigned.

Yang Gao refocused his gaze on the fighting arena, curious about what Hao Zhao wanted to do so he did not want to interrupt.

Similar to the reaction Yue Yie had shown, Meng Dali had even run as fast as she could towards the side of the arena where her father was there.

“Daddy, what happened? Why would an imperial warrior do this to Young Master Zhao?'" asked Meng Dali with a severed breath.

“Dad doesn't know, Dad just asked them to stop the match, who would have thought they even pulled the sword like now" said Meng Kiao.

“What? Then shouldn't we stop them?" asked Meng Dali, worried Hao Zhao why-why.

Meng Dali's facial expression worsened, after which he decided to intervene to try to persuade the imperial soldiers.

“Nona Dali, where do you want to go?"

The new Meng Dali wanted to take a step when someone stopped him.

“Eh, Elder?" Meng Dali recognized who the person who stopped him as the elder of the Sword Marks sect as well as the person who accompanied Li Kao to the city.

“Why is your facial expression that bad? Are you worried about the state of Disciple Kao?" ask the sect elder of the Sword Mark.

Meng Dali was immediately speechless, he had already seen how bad Li Kao's condition was but did not feel anything even a hint of concern.

“Ti— no, I just feel that pointing a sword at a participant is not something an imperial warrior can do" said Meng Dali stammering.

“Hahaha, don't lie to me. Who doesn't know how close you are to Kao's student from childhood, it's obviously impossible for you not to worry about his condition. For now you don't have to worry anymore, after all that Treasure Lantern boy will receive his reply soon," said the sect elder of the Sword Mark with a big smile.

Meng Dali immediately looked at the question mark of the elder. Whether it was his feelings or how, the sect elder of the Sword Mark was more familiar with the imperial warrior than he was also his father.

“Did anything happen between the sect elders of the Sword Marks and imperial warriors? Do they have anything to do with the Supreme elder of the Sword Chords sect who frequently holds meetings with the two members of the Iron Mask in my house?" muttered Meng Dali who could not ignore all the oddities just like that.

The Sword Marks Sect was clearly under the full control of the Sect of the Sword Pattern, similarly to that every imperial warrior was also under the full control of the Iron Mask.

Judging by these two things was not impossible if it turned out that they were planning something that the Meng family did not know at all.

“I have to talk about this to Dad," muttered Meng Dali.

In addition to the shock that filled around the arena itself the situation above the central arena was so the opposite, no one was surprised whether it was from the side of the imperial soldiers or Hao Zhao the marks both sides already had conjectures regarding what was now going on.

“Now step back and just accept the tournament's winning prize, don't go any further to bring up cheating and you can live quietly afterwards" one of the imperial soldiers said.

Hao Zhao was staring at every sharp imperial warrior upon hearing that remark, making Hao Zhao tingle with it.

“Hahaha, you guys are funny. Doing something that you don't even know the reason for and then trying to stop me that clearly has a reason, how absurd," Hao Zhao said with a small laugh.

Being laughed at by Hao Zhao obviously made every imperial warrior wrathful. Feeling not at all looked at, that was the reason for their wrath.

“Stop offending the Iron Mask command to us, if there is someone you want to blame then blame Jian San himself, regarding his stupidity so that he can become the target of the Iron Mask," said one of the imperial soldiers.

Hao Zhao immediately tightened his grip on his sword, for it was the same as telling himself to blame himself.

“Jian San became a target because of his involvement with me, better take care of your words. Then what is this, they are even willing to open the contents of the Iron Mask command?" mumbled Hao Zhao before swinging his sword quickly to attack the imperial soldier who had previously spoken.
