Chapter 136: Reputation (II)
The three of them were dressed in expensive clothes, and their status was naturally not ordinary.
“Junior Sister Ningyi, there was news from Linghuai City again,” Liu Yuquan took the initiative to find a topic to talk about.
Before Yang Ningyi could reply, Zhao Yuan said with a smile, “Isn’t it just a small city that was destroyed by a beast tide? Who asked the people there not to go to the big cities? Such things happen from time to time in the Daxia Kingdom, so it’s nothing worth paying attention to.”
Liu Yuquan turned to glare at him, then looked back at Yang Ningyi and continued, “Something big happened in Linghuai City last night. You’ll definitely be curious if I tell you about it.”
“Senior Brother Liu, the dishes are about to be served,” Yang Ningyi said with a smile, her dimples showing.
When Liu Yuquan saw his junior sister’s smile, he didn’t beat around the bush and said with a smile, “Pengzhou City used Linghuai City as bait to surround the Hong clan, the World Destruction Sect, the Blood Sea Castle, and the Brotherhood Alliance. They killed four warriors in a row.”
“Tsk, I thought it was something big,” Zhao Yuan said disdainfully.
In a big city like Luoxi City, there were many factions with ordinary warriors guarding it. In terms of status, they were even lower than the warrior candidates in East Lake City.
The three of them had several seniors in the warrior realm. Therefore, although they were not in the warrior realm, they were already used to it.
“Don’t keep interrupting me,” Liu Yuquan said angrily. He turned back and continued, “It’s said that Pengzhou City invited a young martial artist to help them from outside.
However, that person who provided external aid couldn’t hold back and killed thousands of ordinary members from the four factions in one go.”
“Does that person have a grudge against the four factions? Or does he like the feeling of killing those from the disciple realm?” Yang Ningyi covered her mouth and laughed.
“Rumor has it that that person has just broken through to the warrior realm, so he is now known as the ‘God of War in the Pond’.” Liu Yuquan smiled.
“This is too funny!” Yang Ningyi finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
The God of War in the Pond was, in other words, someone who was the weakest among those of the same level and could only vent his anger on those of a lower level than him.
This was not a good reputation, and it was easy for other warriors to look down on him.
“Pengzhou City is nearly 1,000 kilometers away from us. It’s not like it happened in Luoxi City.” Zhao Yuan rolled his eyes and continued to undermine Liu Yuquan.
“Then you’re wrong. The ‘God of War in the Pond’ has just arrived in Luoxi City today.” This time, Liu Yuquan was not angered. Instead, he smiled.
Zhao Yuan’s eyes widened when he heard this, and his expression did not look too good.
He cursed in his heart. In order to please his junior sister, Liu Yuquan dared to say anything.
If word got out, not only would it cause trouble for his school, but his fellow disciples would also be implicated.
The smile on Yang Ningyi’s face instantly disappeared. She said in a low voice, “Senior Brother Liu, since he’s already in Luoxi City, it’s not appropriate for you to say this in public, right?”
Towards the end, the volume of her voice was almost a flat line.
“There are more than 10 million people in Luoxi City. There are only a dozen or so people eating at the same restaurant on this floor at the same time. How could there be such a coincidence?” Liu Yuquan patted his chest and smiled.
Yang Ningyi still didn’t smile. She whispered, “Let’s not talk about it. If someone hears and passes on the message, we’ll be in trouble.”
“Alright, alright. I won’t say anything else. I’ll listen to Junior Sister,” Liu Yuquan said helplessly.
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes to the table. The three of them quickly started another topic, and the atmosphere became relaxed again.
Chen Yiming, who was a few meters away, had his suspicions.
“Could it be the work of the Hong clan, the World Destruction Sect, the Blood Sea Fort, and the Brotherhood Alliance? Otherwise, which warrior-level faction would be so free as to publicize this matter?”
His good mood from returning to the city was instantly ruined by this matter.
After the dishes were served and he finished them in a few bites, Chen Yiming stood up and left.
Before entering the elevator and going downstairs, he secretly released three streams of black fog.
Even though the black fog internal force had yet to reach the level where he had mastered its transformation, it was still enhanced by the Level-1 Undying Body talent. It struck Liu Yuquan, Yang Ningyi, and Zhao Yuan from a few meters away.
Liu Yuquan and Zhao Yuan were both at the level of warrior candidates, while Yang Ningyi had undergone eight transformations. However, when faced with the black fog internal force, there was no difference between the levels below the warrior realm.
“Bang!”
The three of them were hit hard and fell unconscious on the dining table.
This was Chen Yiming’s small punishment for the three of them. They would need to recuperate for half a year to a year.
Nearly a minute later, when the restaurant received the reports from the other customers, the situation immediately became chaotic.
The identities of the three of them were clearly not ordinary. If something happened in the restaurant and they could not find the person who had secretly attacked them, the reputation of the restaurant would inevitably be affected.
Chen Yiming walked out of the circular commercial building and planned to return to the convoy’s camp.
However, after taking a few steps, a bird landed on his shoulder.
These birds could barely be considered mutant beasts. They had only evolved to have a unique sense of smell, and could follow the smell within a range of 1,000 kilometers.
Chen Yiming took the note from its foot and opened it.
There was an address written on it, and the secret symbol agreed upon by Chen Yiming and Mo Yanfei was next to it.
“Could it be that there’s news about the Li clan?”
Thinking of this, his mood suddenly improved. With a flash, he disappeared from the street.
…
In a valley more than 10 kilometers outside Luoxi City,
Chen Yiming changed into a black cloak and entered the valley.
This was what he had agreed with Mo Yanfei. The bird could only be released by Mo Yanfei, and he would interact with the Mo clan under the identity of the masked man.
“You’re here,” Mo Fengzhi took the initiative to walk forward and greet him.
“What is it?” Chen Yiming asked.
Mo Fengzhi recalled Mo Yanfei’s instructions before he left, so he said, “I’ve found the whereabouts of the Li clan. They’re in a small town at the foot of the mountain where the Blue Cloud Sword Sect lives.”
“Blue Cloud Sword Sect?”
Mo Fengzhi continued, “A talented woman has appeared in the Li clan’s new generation. She is now a disciple of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect.
The main entrance to the Blue Cloud Sword Sect is located on a large mountain between Luoxi City and Shangdu City. There is a grand elder at the third stage of the warrior realm presiding over the sect,” Mo Fengzhi told him truthfully.
“The third stage of the warrior realm?” Chen Yiming asked in surprise.
“That’s right. Almost all factions at this level will set up camp outside the city,” Mo Fengzhi replied.
Chen Yiming nodded.
Even in a big city like Pengzhou City with a population of tens of millions, the city guardian was only at the third stage of the warrior realm.
If a sect of this level set up camp in the city, it was inevitable that there would be conflicts between them.
“That woman from the Li clan is called Li Kun. She’s a core disciple of one of the three peaks of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect, the Purple Light Peak. She’s at the warrior realm,” Mo Fengzhi continued.
“The warrior realm? She didn’t invite her elders along to the dangerous place where the giant three-tailed turtle was to retrieve the concept diagrams of their clan’s sword technique?” Chen Yiming asked doubtfully.
“I don’t know the exact reason. It seems like there was a small conflict within the clan,” Mo Fengzhi explained.
“Is that sword manual in the hands of Li Kun or the Li clan?” Chen Yiming asked.
Mo Fengzhi added, “The Li clan’s new generation also has a young man called Li Yuanzhuo. It’s said that he relied on his connections to enter the Blue Cloud Sword Sect and is now an inner sect disciple.
I think the sword manual is most likely with Li Yuanzhuo.”
Hearing this, Chen Yiming thought that it made sense.
Only martial arts factions like martial arts schools and sects did not differentiate between genders. Martial arts clans usually had men inherit their clan’s cultivation techniques.
Therefore, no matter how talented Li Kun was, she would not be able to learn the sword technique passed down in her clan. Otherwise, she could just practice the sword technique passed down in her clan. There was no need for her to join the Blue Cloud Sword Sect.
After all, the Li clan only had one concept diagram left after losing two. Only with sufficient talent could they create a new warrior with the sword manual.
