I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 216 - 167: Chivalry on the Road_2
"Cousin Yuesheng!" Qin Hai exclaimed.
Qin Yuesheng quickly turned his head to look, and saw that the edge of the plate on the table suddenly had several cracks within the blink of an eye, even the wooden chopsticks Qin Hai was holding tilted downward.
"What kind of martial arts is this?" Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but wonder to himself.
Crack crack crack!
As this man walked into the inn, the entire inn immediately started to creak, not only did the wooden tables and chairs, but even the beams made a creaking noise, making people’s hearts tremble, fearing that the inn’s hall would suddenly collapse.
The couple who had been sitting and drinking tea suddenly laughed and said, "Master Lian, you’d better withdraw your divine abilities quickly, if this continues, I’m afraid this place will collapse."
"Master Lian?"
As soon as this was said, everyone was suddenly shocked.
"Could it be ’Mountains Like Its Presence’ Master Lian Baishan?"
"Oh my, this is a master from the Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List, usually ranking around thirteen or fourteen."
For a moment, everyone was discussing, and Qin Yuesheng, with good hearing, immediately heard everything clearly.
"’Mountains Like Its Presence’ Lian Baishan." Qin Yuesheng secretly nodded, indeed, this nickname is well earned, the aura emitted by this person is as heavy as a mountain.
The man said it, and Lian Baishan nodded, not speaking.
But everyone could clearly feel that the previous pressure instantly disappeared, everything returned to normal.
At this time, the inn was left with only one empty table and chair, and Lian Baishan naturally walked over, but instead of sitting down immediately, he first took the giant sword off his back and placed it on the ground, then sat down.
Qin Yuesheng, with the Biluo Eye, immediately saw clearly that when the giant sword was placed on the ground, the floor instantly sank, forming a pit several fingers deep.
It could be seen that this giant sword was absolutely not light.
With the arrival of Lian Baishan, the atmosphere in the inn became more lively. Qin Yuesheng heard that the group with the most people started discussing matters related to the Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List, and the topic quickly shifted to something that interested Qin Yuesheng.
The Autumn Water Family.
It turned out that many people were aware of the Jiangnan martial arts gathering held by the Autumn Water Family this time, and the reason they were holding this gathering was not only because of the Bai Yue Sword Saint’s sword tomb secret, but also the biggest reason:
The Autumn Water Family had disciples killed by Demon Sect members.
Not only the Autumn Water Family, but many factions and sects were also attacked, which led to the Autumn Water Family taking the lead and the Jiangnan martial artists responding to the call, going to the Autumn Water Family to join the gathering.
Thus, Qin Yuesheng learned that these people in the inn should be like him, heading to Yangzhou Prefecture to the Autumn Water Family.
"It seems this event is truly large-scale, to encounter so many people just on the way." Qin Yuesheng thought to himself.
"We are the Seven Heroes of Qinghe County. Greetings to you all, if I’m not mistaken, you all are heading to the Autumn Water Family in Yangzhou Prefecture too?" A great man stood up at the long wooden table, clasping his fists and addressing everyone.
Immediately, Qin Yuesheng and Qin Hai, that group of youths, the couple, and Lian Baishan looked over.
"Indeed, we three brothers are representing Hongyan Manor to participate." Someone took the lead, and three youths in matching outfits immediately responded.
"Oh, Hongyan Manor disciples, well met, well met, and these esteemed lady and gentleman are?" The great man addressed the couple.
"I am Duan Wuya, this is my junior sister, Yun Yao."
"Duan Wuya..." The great man instinctively thought for a moment but had never heard the name, so he smiled officially: "So it’s Young Hero Duan and Female Hero Yun, renowned, renowned."
Qin Yuesheng was immediately amused, "Renowned for what?"
Lian Baishan needed no introduction, everyone knew him, so the hall was left with only Qin Yuesheng and Qin Hai, the two unknowns.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Qin Yuesheng got up and clasped his hands: "I am Qin Yuesheng from Cyan Yang City, this is my cousin, Qin Hai."
"Qin Yuesheng!"
Assuming that given his sheltered life in Cyan Yang City, never venturing out, no one would recognize him, after stating his name, Qin Yuesheng intended to sit down.
Unexpectedly, the great man immediately indicated he knew the name.
"So you are the ninety-ninth on the Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List, ’Black Rakshasa’ Qin Yuesheng, renowned, renowned!"
"Hmm?" Qin Yuesheng was suddenly perplexed.
How does he know me? And what is this ninety-ninth ’Black Rakshasa’, my skin isn’t even black.
Upon hearing that Qin Yuesheng was listed on the Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List, everyone looked at him a few more times, with Qin Hai, sitting beside him, the most shocked.
The Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List was sold in bookstores all over, with updates every one or two months. Qin Hai had bought and browsed it before, knowing its value.
To be listed on the Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List, one must be a renowned master in Jiangnan, at least of the Outer Skin and Bone Forging level.
Who would have thought my cousin is such a martial artist!
There is a big difference between martial practitioners and outer forging martial artists, and Inner Strength martial artists are several levels above them. Not to mention, with Qin Yuesheng’s current strength at the Third Layer of the Inner Power Realm, if his past achievements were exposed, he could at least be in the top twenty of the Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List.
However, Qin Yuesheng did not care much for fame, so he responded to the great man’s comments with a calm smile and nod: "It’s just luck, just luck."
Lian Baishan gave Qin Yuesheng a meaningful glance. Although Qin Yuesheng had not shown his strength, as an Inner Strength martial artist, Lian Baishan could vaguely sense that Qin Yuesheng’s strength was extraordinary.
Being ranked ninety-ninth on the Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List did not do justice to his ability.
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses came from outside the inn, followed by a ’whoa!’, then the sounds stopped just outside the inn.
Qin Yuesheng looked towards the inn’s doorway, seeing a group of bizarrely dressed people dismounting from their horses, each carrying a beautiful girl with her hands and feet bound and mouth gagged, walking in.
The group consisted of five people, with different body shapes: tall, short, fat, thin, and average. They wore long robes of red, yellow, blue, green, and purple, and were all bald, looking extremely strange.
"Boy, give us five rooms," the leader shouted directly.
He carried a girl on his shoulder who kept struggling, making muffled sounds, her eyes pleadingly looking at those inside the hall.
One glance showed that these young women were forcibly taken. It seemed these five planned to defile them in this inn.
At that moment, Yun Yao attracted the attention of these five bizarre men.
These five men looked at her like wolves seeing their prey, their eyes lighting up with an indecent gleam.
"B-brother, I like this one," the second bald-headed man sucking his finger said with a wicked smile.
His face was covered in red sores, ugly like a toad, his head was full of boils, and his facial features twisted, with uneven eyes, truly ugly to the extreme.
"Hehe, elder brother likes her too, let’s catch her together, then we can all have fun," the leader said.
"Good, good, thank you, elder brother."
Faced with these five ugly men’s unabashed gaze and dirty talk, Yun Yao frowned and said to Duan Wuya beside her, "Senior brother..."
"Bold thieves, to speak such indecency openly in broad daylight, truly thinking we are nothing!" The Seven Heroes of Qinghe County angrily spoke, putting down their chopsticks and wine glasses and standing up.
