Chapter 174: Flames

The Shangguan family had two grown-up masters, one of whom was conferred the title "Young Master". However, their situations were as different as heaven and earth. As the Kun-Horned Dragon war raged on, the Ninth Young Master Shangguan Fei was nearly forgotten.

He controlled the least territory and had recruited barely a few machetemen. The only consolation was that his eleven killers were all alive and kicking, whereas three of his younger sister Shangguan Ru's killers had perished.

The decision to hold the negotiations on Shangguan Fei's territory received the approval of both sides. Shangguan Ru trusted her elder brother while Meng Mingshi had a rather good opinion of the Ninth Young Master.

During the negotiations, each side would send forth one person who was not allowed to carry weapons. The other machetemen could only keep guard at both ends of the lane. Shangguan Fei would also dispatch three killers to guarantee the negotiators' safety.
