Chapter 564 - Martial World

Normal World 101.

"A big news! A big news!" someone shouted and waved at a crowd before he turned back to the board where some papers where pinned for everyone to see.

"What happened?! What happened?! Tell me!" someone heard the man yelled and immediately rushed.

"Look, everyone! The Snow Clouds Spring Blossoms Mountain was sealed!" the man answered and pointed to the paper where some words were written as if in urgency… as if the news can't wait to be spread.

"What?! The Snow Clouds Spring Blossoms Mountain was sealed?! How did this happen?! What happened?!" the crowd asked as they all gathered.

It is known that the Snow Clouds Spring Blossoms Mountain is like an immortal's abode because one would find many rare herbs as ingredients for elixirs that can bring someone back to life or make an insane man sane. But, of course, the elixirs naturally just don't magically appear. They have to be brewed.

And someone who can brew the elixir of immortality is Huai Sen.

"The Snow Clouds Spring Blossoms Mountain's patriarch Huai Sen… why did he seal the mountain?" the people asked in puzzlement.

"Maybe because many are coveting the rare herbs?" someone spoke.

Before anyone can find the answer, they heard someone yelled.

"Aio! Is what you said true?!" the person asked.

Everyone turned and saw two people talking in low voices. One has a serious expression while the other one has a shocked expression.

"Why should I lie? This is what I clearly heard…" the one wearing a serious expression spoke and lowered his voice to whisper to his companion.

The gossiping crowd's interest got piqued. Those two are clearly talking about something shocking.

"Brothers… why don't you share to us some of your story? It sounds interesting?" someone spoke as he sat on their table.

The two turned and finally noticed that they have attracted the attention of many people. They were about to speak when their gazes landed on the paper where everyone was looking at earlier.

"The Snow Clouds Spring Blossoms Mountain was sealed?" the serious-looking one's brows knitted after he read it.

"Yes. Brothers haven't heard of it?" someone was surprised.

"Hey. This is a fresh news, after all." Someone patted him.

The serious-looking one's friend turned and looked at him worriedly.

"Those bastards." The serious-looking one cursed under his breath and immediately placed a money pouch on the table before he rose from his seat and left.

"Ge!" his companion called and hurriedly finished his food before he ran after the serious-looking one.

"Ai. We missed asking some information from them!" someone sighed. "Their story definitely is something big!" he said.

"Are you sure you still want to ask them?" someone asked.

"What do you mean?" the person asked.

The other one didn't answer and just pointed to the two that just left. Everyone followed where he was pointing, only for them all to freeze when they saw the plaques hanging on their waistbands and are emitting a clinking sound when they hit the swords on their waists as they dangled while the two people continued to walk in a fast pace.

"Fck! Why are the Ruojian Valley here?!" they exclaimed in shock as they watched the two people's figures disappeared from their sights.

"We didn't notice them… they must be travelling incognito." Someone spoke and nervously gulped down his saliva as a bead of cold sweat trickled down the side of his face. The fright he received after knowing that the two people just now were from Ruojian Valley almost made his soul left his body.

The Ruojian Valley is a sword sect and are full of talented individuals. But, what got them suddenly scared just now is because the Ruojian Valley is a group of absurd individuals. Why 'absurd'? It's because they only believe in what they think is right! They can't be reasoned at all! If someone refutes them, there is more than fifty percent chance that they might kill that person! Also, if someone offended them, they also might kill that person. Even just being noisy, they might also kill! Fortunately, these people rarely come out of their valley. Or else, the world would have fallen into chaos already just with these crazy people.

Then, why does no one complained about the Ruojian Valley to the martial alliance? Because the martial alliance's leader is weak! He is weaker than the master of the Ruojian Valley. Also, if the disciples are already absurd, what more their master will be? Thus, the martial alliance's leader is also afraid to be killed. Thus, they maintained a friendly relation with the Ruojian Valley.

"Fortunately, those two seemed to be deeply engaged in their conversation…" the person who talked with the two disciples of the Ruojian Valley wiped the cold sweat off of his forehead. But, his whole back is already bathed in sweat. He felt his neck suddenly became cold, imagining that his head could've been cut off of his neck earlier.

"Yeah…" the other agreed and patted their chests. They still feel afraid even if the two people have already left!

"Just what is currently happening?" someone asked, confused. "First, the Snow Clouds Spring Blossoms Mountain being sealed. Now, the Ruojian Valley appearing!" he said. "What did these devils come here for?" he asked.

"You are right… has no one clarified the matter of the Snow Clouds Spring Blossoms Mountain being sealed yet?" someone asked as he turned to look around.

"The martial alliance must have not heard about this matter yet?" someone said.

"Impossible! They should be the ones to hear these matters first!" someone refuted.

…

In a certain town…

Huo Ling can't close his mouth as he gaped while looking around the ancient town.

"One second more and I will break your jaw." Yi Bing told Huo Ling.

Huo Ling immediately shut his mouth.

"Haven't we been to an ancient world already?" Yi Bing asked him.

"That's different." Huo Ling spoke.

"How?" Yi Bing asked and looked around. "They are all wearing the same clothes." He said when people passed by them.

"I feel this world is bigger than that world!" Huo Ling answered as he continued to look around with fascination.

It has always been his dream to travel in a world like this that he has only seen in movies. He doesn't have enough money to travel because he was poor when he was still alive. Now, he has the opportunity!

"It really is good to die!" Huo Ling exclaimed with a big grin on his face. If he didn't die, he wouldn't become a grim reaper who can travel to different kinds of worlds. If he had known earlier, he would've…

Ah, no, no. He thought and shook his head. Suicide is a sin towards yourself, and is a heavier crime than of anyone else's.

Yi Bing, Qian San, Wu Ling, Shi Yi and Qi Bai. "…" we don't know him… they thought as they moved away from Huo Ling after everyone turned to look at Huo Ling when they heard what he said.

"Lunatic!" the people muttered as they hurriedly left.

Huo Ling whose face instantly turned red. "…" damn. I got too carried away! He thought with black lines covering his face. 

"Done playing around?" Yi Bing asked Huo Ling as he walked back to him after he saw that the other has calmed down.

Huo Ling turned to him with a glare. "… do we know each other?" he sharply asked with a sneer. He clicked his tongue before he left to find his new assignment.

Yi Bing who was now looked at by the people. "…" damn Huo Ling… he inwardly cursed and was forced to leave to find the idiot.

"A quarrel?" the people whispered and immediately scattered when they saw Yi Bing glared at them before he disappeared.

Qian San, Wu Ling, Shi Yi and Qi Bai. "…" these two… are actually like this? They thought as their lips twitched, don't know what to feel.

"Follow?" Shi Yi asked with a blank expression.

"Follow." The good-tempered Qian San answered.

Wu Ling frowned while Qi Bai's face is dark. "What 'task will be easier'?" they muttered when they recalled what Shou Ji spoke earlier.

They fixed their lapels and waistbands and tidied up their hair ties and waist pendants before they ran after Yi Bing and Huo Ling who made a scene as soon as they arrived in this world. They looked like the young masters of noble families. But, no one in this world dared to underestimate anyone because jianghu is ruthless. One moment, two people are talking like they are friends but the next second one of actually had fallen dead.

So, although Qian San, Wu Ling, Shi Yi and Qi Bai are acting as young masters from the noble families, wariness can be seen in the eyes of the natives. This made the four of them inwardly curse but kept the smiles on their faces as they left to find Yi Bing and Huo Ling.

These two… they just hope that nothing will happens or things won't go wrong.
