Chapter 655: Intimidating the Enemy

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon seeing the swift speed of the other party, Jiu Fang Yunfei felt apprehensive and knew that today’s matter would not be solved easily. He retreated back inside the door and said with an indifferent tone, “Just who are you mister and why are you forcing me? What do you want?”

Shakyamuni Silver Hoop said with a cold sneer, “I don’t have any other intentions, I just feel annoyed by seeing you act all secretive. If you don’t want to get out by lying on the ground, then collaborate obediently.”

Inside the hall, the general butler in charge had already walked out and tried to be the peacemaker. “Everyone, if you have any personal grudges, you can solve them after you leave here. It’s best if we don’t stir up any trouble at the Freelance Martial Artist Union, don’t you agree?”

Although Shakyamuni Silver Hoop was a domineering person, he knew the principal of how a strong dragon would not win against a local snake. He chuckled mischievously. “Rest assured, head butler, we will not damage your business.”

“This is not just about business, stirring trouble at the Freelance Martial Artist Union will be related to the reputation of the union, so please calm yourselves.”

Qin Wushuang said with a light tone, “You three appear so unfamiliar. Where have all of you come from?”

Qin Wushuang had deliberately changed his tone of voice. These three people of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect of course could not recognize him. Shakyamuni Silver Hoop shot a glaring look at Qin Wushuang. Upon seeing his imposing manner, he could not refrain himself from asking, “Who might you be, sire?”

“Who do you think I look like?” Qin Wushuang deliberately showed off to be unfathomable.

As Qin Wushuang behaved like this, Shakyamuni Silver Hoop had not dared to look down at him. He turned around and shot a glance at Tian Mingshan, for clearly he wanted to ask for his suggestion.

Tian Mingshan walked over and asked with a smile, “Could it be you are one of the prized disciples of a sect?”

Qin Wushuang smiled lightly and declined to comment. He said with an indifferent voice, “You three, would you be willing to do me a favor and not create any trouble here?”

Tian Mingshan laughed. “Of course we will do this favor for you; however, we ask for your identity and background. Otherwise, when we do you this favor, we won’t know who we have given it to.”

Qin Wushuang raised his eyebrow and said indifferently, “If you seek too much, I am afraid it will not end well for you three. I see that you possess exceptional strength, you must not be figures from my six major Daoist sects in the Illusion Heavenly Lake. Among the first-rate powerhouses in the Illusion Heavenly Lake, I don’t think you three exist. Could it be, you three are here to participate in the Ten Thousand Year Immortal Pilgrimage Event?”

Qin Wushuang had said it this way because he had already verified the identity of these three people. He had dared to make this assumption because of this fact. However, in the ears of the other party, they naturally thought Qin Wushuang must be someone from the six major Daoist Sects. Or else, how could he be sure they were not people of the six major Daoist Sects and not people of the first-rate powerhouses of the Illusion Heavenly Lake?

Tian Mingshan showed some hesitation. This time, they had not come here to participate in some Ten Thousand Year Pilgrimage Pageant as they were not even qualified.

To put it unpleasantly, they had come here in secret and they could not be put in the spot-light. If they did, the things they sought to accomplish might be ruined. Most likely, they would lose their lives.

The six major Daoist Sects were equivalent to the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates. Not to mention them as dragons who had crossed the river, even if the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect was a local powerhouse, they were not qualified to be as equal as the six major Daoist Sects. It was the same as how the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect could not be compared to the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates.

Upon hearing the mention of the Karakorum Immortal Clan and the Ten-Thousand Year Immortal Pilgrimage Event, the freelance martial artists in the surrounding directions had an abrupt change of expression. They all got up to pay their bill and leave.

Clearly, these freelance martial artists had known how to judge the situation. They knew that some things they could listen to, but some things they could not. If this caution wasn’t practised, it would be likely for trouble to find them.

The butler selling information also flashed his tongue. Suddenly, his eyes shone as if he had caught some exclusive news as he ran outside with great joy.

When Qin Wushuang saw this person run to the outside, he shouted, “Stop!”

This person was like the Iron Holler of the Orderly Mountain Prefecture and make a living by selling information. Now, having acquired important gossip, of course he decided to go out and sell it.

When he was ordered to stop by Qin Wushuang, he trembled inwardly and did not dare to keep going. For someone as low as him, if he truly encountered a disciple from a powerful sect, it would not be a problem for them to kill him.

“Young… Young master, what would you want me to do?”

Qin Wushuang asked coldly, “What is your name? Do not lie. If you lie, I will pull off your tongue. Don’t forget, I have a hundred ways to find out your name.”

“My… My name is… Taking… Taking Advantage.”

This was a rather strange name. Qin Wushuang glared, “Hopefully you are not lying or else your tongue will no longer belong to you.”

“Listen well. For each of the words I had just spoken, if they were to spill from your mouth, not only just you, all nine generations related to you will not be left alive. If you want to give it a try, then go out and sell this information. I know that you are in this field and making a living by selling information.”

Taking Advantage’s expression changed dramatically as he said, “I would not dare. I will surely not breathe a single word, not even in my dreams.”

Qin Wushuang gave a cold sneer, “Get lost.”

Taking Advantage immediately ran outside. Suddenly, Shakyamuni Silver Hoop yelled, “Hold on, kid. You said the Emei Daoist Sect is issuing an open challenge to invite a groom, where is it?”

Taking Advantage was frightened stiff as he did not even dare to ask for money. “It’s at the Ten Thousand Flower Valley.”

Upon hearing the words, Ten Thousand Flower Valley, a trace of strange light flashed across the eyes of Tian Mingshan and the others. As Qin Wushuang weighed up his words and observed their facial expressions, he had guessed to some degree what they were thinking. Could it be people of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect were heading to the Ten Thousand Flower Valley?

Although Qin Wushuang had hit some problems, he didn’t bat an eyelid and did not expose them.

Tian Mingshan clearly seemed to be restraining himself towards his strong manner. If it were just this one person, it would have been easy to take care of him.

If the other party was truly a disciple of the six major Daoist sects, then they could not offend him. Or else, it would be a great question whether they could return to the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect or not.

He shot a glance at Jiu Fang Yunfei and Tian Mingshan made up his mind as he said, “Since Mister has spoken, this is the end of today’s matter. Kid, you are lucky.”

Jiu Fang Yunfei looked at Tian Mingshan and the others with a cold sneer, “Hopefully you guys will get lucky too.”

Tian Mingshan twisted his brow. “Kid, what do you mean?”

“Whatever you meant, is what I mean.” Jiu Fang Yunfei countered with equal harshness. In fact, he did not fear these three people.

Inwardly, Tian Mingshan was furious. From the outside, he had sensed that Jiu Fang Yunfei was sizing them up. Therefore, he emerged some suspicion to him.

“Kid, do you really think we would not dare to beat you?”

Jiu Fang Yunfei said lightly, “If you want to fight, make your move. I am just afraid you will not be able to walk out of this capital city and lose your life here.”

Per his observation from a moment ago, Jiu Fang Yunfei also realized that these three people had restrained their fear to the local powerhouse of the Illusion Heavenly Lake when they had come here. Therefore, as he caught this weakness, he did not harbor much fear of them.

Tian Mingshan said with a cold laughter, “Kid, don’t tell me that you are also one from the six major Daoist Sects, right?”

Jiu Fang Yunfei gave a cold sneer and declined to comment to appear unfathomable.

However, Tian Mingshan refused to believe him. He had believed Qin Wushuang’s words because he had shown strength that was no less than any of them. The other party had dared to speak the name of the Karakorum Immortal Clan directly and the name of the Ten Thousand Year Immortal Pilgrimage Event.

For everything, it made Tian Mingshan afraid of the consequences.

However, Qin Wushuang smiled at Jiu Fang Yunfei. “Let it go. Do me a favor and stop holding a grudge. I think you must be a disciple to my Illusion Heavenly Lake. Although we don’t know each other, I think you look kind of familiar. We must have met at some point. If I didn’t recognize you, I would not have stepped out to be the peacemaker.”

Inwardly, Jiu Fang Yunfei was greatly surprised. How could he not realize that Qin Wushuang was deliberately finding him a way to step down? If the other party was a disciple from the six major Daoist Sects in the Illusion Heavenly Lake, how could he be familiar with him? He must have said it deliberately to make these three back out of an awkward situation.

Initially, when Jiu Fang Yunfei saw Qin Wushuang’s impressive manner and saw that he was able to verify that these three were not elite warriors of the Illusion Heavenly Lake, he also made the assumption consciously to think that Qin Wushuang was one from the six major Daoist sects. He could not have known that Qin Wushuang was not the least bit familiar with people of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect.

It means that among the three parties, besides Qin Wushuang who knew the inside out of the other two parties, the other two parties was completely unaware of his background.

Upon hearing Qin Wushuang speaking in this way, Tian Mingshan and the others felt apprehensive. Inwardly, they wondered if this kid was truly a disciple of a local powerhouse. It seemed that they could not offend him.

At the moment, they could only use the slope to get off the donkey as he said to Qin Wushuang, “Since you already speak this way, the three of us do not wish to have side issues keep rising. Only mountains never meet, we will take our leave now.”

After he finished speaking, they turned and left.

Upon seeing these three leaving, Jiu Fang Yunfei had a sigh of relief. He said to Qin Wushuang with a bitter smile, “Today, it’s all thanks to you, brother.”

Qin Wushuang said with a slight smile, “Don’t mention it? My drinks and food are not taken away yet, how about we drink a bit more?”

Jiu Fang Yunfei was rather straightforward as he replied, “Then let me excuse myself.”

The two of them smiled at each other and sat down again. Qin Wushuang called to the young butler and instructed, “Another pot of drink, and a few more dishes.”

Jiu Fang Yunfei drank three cups in succession and said with a clear voice, “These three drinks are to thank you for helping me out. To tell you the truth, if you had not stepped out, I would have been in an embarrassing situation today.”

“Ha ha, I see that you seemed to have some of your own opinions about those three people,” Qin Wushuang poured a drink and probed.

Jiu Fang Yunfei looked around and said with a whisper, “I know these three people. Only, they do not recognize me. Before they came in, I just looked at them a bit more and got sensed by that person. I think that these three people must have harbored some guilty conscience, or else they would not have acted so carefully.”

“Oh?”

“Brother, not to hide from you, those three people are truly not people of the Illusion Heavenly Lake. They are people of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect in the Xuan Yuan Mound. I just don’t know what they are scheming about by coming to this Illusion Heavenly Lake. Judging from their sneaky motions, I think they must be looking for something! They would not have traveled land and water to risk their lives here otherwise.”

Inwardly, Qin Wushuang felt apprehensive. Thinking about the current situation of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, they were undoubtedly helpless a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river. They still had the energy to come to this Illusion Heavenly Lake?

There must be some hidden story within it. Now, the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect’s priority job was reconstruction and to increase their strength. All of their actions must be working towards this direction. Upon thinking here, the rage residing in Qin Wushuang’s heart had been ignited again.
