Chapter 31 - Promiscuous in the Martial World

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Hall of Loyalty in the Southern River Courtyard of Yuzhou City was a place that everyone knew about, be it from the martial world or the ordinary people.

This was the Cao Gang’s headquarters in Yuzhou City.

There was an endless stream of carriages at the entrance. From time to time, men in linen garments would enter and exit the Southern River Courtyard.

Two Cao Gang members stood at the door, yawning.

“Sigh! I’m exhausted during the day, and I have to be on duty at night.”

“Have you heard? Altar Master Liu has broken through to Rank Five.”

“Why haven’t I heard of it? Elder Tie has already summoned him. On the third day of next month, it’s said that Altar Master Liu is hosting a banquet.”

“I wonder when I can reach Rank Six.”

…

The two on duty chatted casually to pass the time.

What kind of place was the martial world?

The rivers flowed and there are massive dragons soaring through the dragon gate in the martial world, there are also countless ordinary small fry. However, not every small fry will become a peerless hero in the end.

“Old Liu, I haven’t been home for decades.” Suddenly, a guard looked at the night sky and sighed.

He remembered that one winter, a bully from the village had barged into his house to humiliate his wife. Finally, he could not take it anymore and stabbed two bullies to death. In order to escape arrest, he disguised his identity and joined Cao Gang.

“I don’t have a home. My parents died long ago.”

The gang members beside him looked calm and indifferent, as if they were saying something unrelated to him.

“I wonder if my wife ran away.”

“Don’t even think about it. She must have run away.”

“F*ck, can’t you give me some hope?”

“It wasn’t like this when you played with Zhang Mazi’s wife yesterday.”

“Zhang Mazi, that little brat, wanted to use a knife against me. How can I let him off so easily?”

“Let’s go together tomorrow.”

“That’s great! Zhang Mazi’s wife is amazing.”

The more they talked, the more energetic they became until a figure walked to the door.

That person was dressed in a navy blue robe and his face could not be seen clearly. He held an ordinary iron sword in his hand and walked towards the door at a steady pace.

It was An Jing.

“Stop! Who are you!”

The two of them felt a chill in their hearts when they saw An Jing hiding himself.

An Jing said nothing and continued walking towards the Yuzhou’s headquarters.

Chi!

A faintly discernible sword light flashed past!

The first person who spoke felt his heart stop for a moment. Then, he found it hard to breathe. He stretched out his hand but eventually had his hand hang down weakly.

He merely took a step forward!

That person had already fallen to the ground!

“Get here! Someone is entering the headquarters! Get here!”

When the others saw this, their hearts started beating wildly as they hurriedly shouted towards the Hall of Loyalty.

This sound was like an arrow breaking through the dawn, completely igniting the night in the Hall of Loyalty.

“Who dares to barge into our Yuzhou’s headquarters!”

“How dare you!”

…

Countless Cao Gang members swarmed out from all directions.

An Jing did not speak and continued to walk forward at a steady pace.

“Die!”

One of the Rank Six gang members had a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. He strode forward and executed the Rank Three martial arts, Dragon-capturing Hands, aiming for An Jing’s shoulder blade.

This person was also a rising star amongst the Cao Gang members. He was quite young.

Just as that person was about to approach An Jing, a sword beam shot out.

Plop!

The Cao Gang members’ eyes lost their divine light as their bodies fell heavily to the ground.

When the surrounding Cao Gang experts saw this, they were alarmed. That person only took a step forward and they died?

What sort of strength was this?!

How terrifying was this?!

“Attack together!”

Right at this moment, several experts from Cao Gang walked out. These people all had a cultivation of Rank Four, and they were the hall masters of the various halls in Yuzhou City. The person in the lead was Zhu Hou.

Upon hearing Zhu Hou’s words, Cao Gang and company gathered their courage.

An Jing did not say anything, but the gang members who were ten feet away from him fell one after another.

There was no sword and no techniques used.

As he strolled around, countless people were killed by the sword light!

With a single step, lives would be killed!

He was pacing himself and did not say a single word. It was as if he was walking through the streets and alleys as usual, as calm as ever.

How terrifying!

Looking at this swordsman who was as calm as water, only two words remained in everyone’s minds.

“You… who exactly are you?” One of the Rank Four experts in the Cao Gang asked with a trembling voice.

Who was this peerless expert?

“Could it be that peerless swordsman that split open the dungeon?” Zhu Hou cried out involuntarily as he recalled.

He was a man of few words and held an ordinary long sword in his hand. The aura he emitted from his body was like a sharp sword, making people not dare to look at him directly.

Killing people without leaving a trace!

An Jing remained silent and walked forward.

However, with every step he took, countless people died.

Every step would lead to mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He was using the Hundred Steps Flying Sword!

In less than a moment, the ground was already dyed red with blood. The road on the ground had already become a bloody road with only corpses left on the ground.

When An Jing walked into the Hall of Loyalty, other than him, there were no other living people within a few meters.

Zhu Hou was scared silly by this scene and his body was trembling.

“You… you…”

Meanwhile, An Jing continued to walk in. From beginning to end, he did not say a single word and his footsteps were not the slightest bit messy.

Plop!

The moment his toes touched the ground, Zhu Hou felt a chill on his neck before he fell heavily onto the ground.

…

At an antique banquet, Tie Yunshan sat on the main seat.

Below him was a young man. He was dressed in a crescent white embroidered robe that was tailored to fit him perfectly. His figure was tall and slender, like an orchid and jade tree, bright and clear like the moon, indescribably noble and elegant, like a poem or painting.

If Tie Yunshan and Hong Yuanwu were both powerful people, then the young man in front of him, or rather, the Mu Clan behind him, was a real local tyrant.

Mu Jie of the Mu Family was ranked seventh on the ranking of the martial world. He was known as the son of a noble family with a jade fan and was the dream lover of many wealthy ladies. His cultivation level reached Rank Four last year and he was extremely famous in the martial world.

Among the four great clans of Jiangnan Dao, Mu Jie was one of the most talented youths of the younger generation.

Such a person would be the future overlord of the Jiangnan Dao. He would control the winds and clouds of the Jiangnan Dao and would even have a place in the Yan Country.

Tie Yunshan raised his cup and smiled. “In recent years, the Mu Clan has been doing better and better. I heard that the Mu Clan’s caravan is heading towards the Southbright Kingdom. This is truly worthy of celebration.”

“This is all thanks to Cao Gang’s help in recent years,” Mu Jie quickly replied respectfully.

Tie Yunshan, who was in front of him, was an extremely terrifying character. Back then, he had killed the Su Clan’s Patriarch. Although he was a genius and the future leader of the Mu Clan, he did not dare to put on airs in front of Tie Yunshan.

“No, we’re just cooperating sincerely.” Tie Yunshan shook his head.

“Good, what a sincere cooperation. Let’s raise our glasses to Senior Tie’s words,” shouted Mu Jie.

The two raised their glasses again and drank.

What was the martial world?

The martial world was a battle for fame and fortune. Only in this chaotic martial world would one become famous and gain the fastest. This was the dream of many people.

Some people wandered about the martial world. Some people indulged themselves in the martial world. There were also some people who were promiscuous..
