Chapter 132: Chapter 115: Shenanigans (4.6K Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Ticket)_2
Song Yingying and Wang Cheng were both stunned.
Two bottles of Qi Blood Pills were already precious enough.
Not to mention a pill that could cleanse one’s marrow and hair, improving one’s Root Bone physique... That was priceless.
Who doesn’t know that the biggest hurdle in Martial Arts Cultivation is actually one’s innate Root Bone talent?
Both of them had average Root Bone talents, and were unable to become Inner Sect Disciples; they were lucky to even become entry-level Martial Artists.
If their child could really undergo marrow cleansing and improve their Root Bone talent, and smoothly enter the Inner Sect of Divine Sword Sect... then their Wang Family would truly defy the heavens and change their fates.
"Cousin, thank... thank you..."
Song Yingying’s voice was trembling.
"Remember, the existence of this pill must not be spread, otherwise disaster will surely strike."
Li Qian warned.
Song Yingying and Wang Cheng nodded hastily, knowing how precious a pill that could improve one’s Root Bone talent was; it was an item capable of changing one’s fate in the martial path.
...
At the village entrance.
Three members of the Black Knight Gang stayed in place.
As for the villagers of Maple Leaf Village, they had long scattered.
"Brother Chao, should we run?" 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
One of them whispered.
The intimidation of the Divine Sword Sect was too great.
After hearing that man was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, their original arrogance had vanished.
"Are you stupid? Of course, we run."
The member of the Black Knight Gang known as Brother Chao said.
Once they could no longer see the man, he whispered, "Let’s go, move out quietly."
But they had only taken a few steps when suddenly a Sword Qi appeared in front of them, passing through a large stone and instantly piercing it.
The three of them trembled in fright, and on looking around, there was no one; the Sword Qi seemed to appear out of thin air.
They suddenly remembered what the man had said before.
"Brother Chao, this guy is so strong, we..."
"What should we do now?"
"We’ve hit a snag this time; there’s trouble..."
...
They didn’t dare to make a move.
After all, their lives were precious.
All being only at the second or third level of Post-Natal cultivation, it was no problem to bully newly initiated Martial Artists, but confronting an Inner Sect Disciple of the Divine Sword Sect was simply seeking death.
With Sword Qi firing from such a distance... they didn’t dare to imagine how strong the opponent was.
A while later, Li Qian came over.
The three of them hurriedly flattered and said respectfully, "Sir... we’re just minor roles in the Black Knight Gang, we ask for your mercy and to spare us."
"Take me to your Black Knight Gang’s headquarters."
Li Qian said indifferently.
He then mounted his horse.
How could the three dare refuse? They could only obediently mount their horses and lead Li Qian in the direction of Chuyun County City.
...
Black Knight Fortress.
This place was once the fortress of a local Martial Arts Family.
But now, it had become the headquarters of the Black Knight Gang.
The family that used to own it naturally had been wiped out by the Black Knight Gang, who took over their nest.
At this moment, inside the fortress hall, with lavish carpets and burning expensive incense, a middle-aged man in a black robe sat with furrowed brows.
"Leader, this can’t continue, the Divine Sword Sect may have taken notice of us, we should move quickly, otherwise it’ll be too late if we delay."
A gaunt elder said solemnly.
"Hmph, these bastards, just to drive us out, they’re really throwing all sorts of dirt on us..."
Another high-ranking member of the Black Knight Gang said angrily, "If it weren’t for the Divine Sword Sect allowing forces from other regions of the Tai Xing Dao Kingdom to station themselves here, how would our Black Knight Gang have come? But now the local forces are doing everything they can to drive us out... Is the Divine Sword Sect just all talk and no action?"
The others nodded, agreeing that relocating was the best choice.
These local forces have intricate connections with the Divine Sword Sect, if they wanted to slander them, they feared they wouldn’t be able to clear their names even with ten mouths, and the Divine Sword Sect wouldn’t listen either.
Moreover, in this world where the strong prey upon the weak, how could they entrust the fate of the Black Knight Gang to the mercy of the Divine Sword Sect?
"I’m afraid even if we’re willing to relocate... they won’t let us leave easily."
The leader of the Black Knight Gang, Nie Yun, sighed.
Their Black Knight Gang had come from afar, carrying many cultivation resources; if it weren’t for their strong power, they would have been devoured by the local forces long ago, leaving nothing behind.
But precisely because they were too strong, local forces refused to tolerate them.
"We managed to relocate successfully from Jing State, we can’t falter in this little Chuyun County."
One high-ranking member of the Black Knight Gang stood up abruptly, "Leader, we can’t hesitate any longer, we must take decisive action, or once people from the Divine Sword Sect arrive, we will truly have no hope of leaving."
"Start preparing."
Nie Yun, the leader of the Black Knight Gang, took a deep breath and finally made a decision.
"Yes."
Several high-ranking members promptly took orders to start preparing the relocation plan.
...
Li Qian was led to a fortress built by the river valley by three members of the Black Knight Gang.
The scale of the fortress was not small.
Although it could not compare with the Hong Family Manor he had seen, it still boasted a strategically advantageous position and was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Hong Family Manor.
Li Qian looked at the name of the fortress.
"Are you sure this is the Black Knight Gang’s headquarters?"
He frowned slightly.
"Sir... the truth is, we’re not members of the Black Knight Gang... we’re members of one of the three big families in Chuyun County City, the Hong Family..."
The man known as Brother Chao quickly said.
"You’re not members of the Black Knight Gang? Then why act in the name of the Black Knight Gang and do evil deeds?"
Li Qian’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The man called Brother Chao felt a chill down his spine from Li Qian’s gaze, cold sweat on his forehead, not knowing how to answer, and he certainly couldn’t say that they pretended to be members of the Black Knight Gang in order to throw dirt on the gang.
