Chapter 376: Chapter 245: Who Agrees, Who Disagrees? (Please Subscribe)
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the Jade Pearl Group of Heroes had already set out from Yuzhu Villa.
Their leader was the Nameless Young Hero, Duan Yun, with one singular goal: to go to Gathering Talent Manor for a bloody battle against the group of demons and create rivers of blood.
Of course, as the saying goes, "to catch the bandits, first catch their king," Duan Yun’s main target for a fatal strike was the entire Huangshan Sword Sect, and the rest of the evil demons who colluded with them also deserved to be utterly exterminated.
To make their names even more impressive, Shen Ying and Feng Ling’er both coined new titles for themselves—one called herself "Heroine Daying," and the other "Red Heroine."
Feng Ling’er, sitting in the carriage, gazed at Shen Ying’s flat chest and mocked, "You dare to call yourself Heroine Daying with that?"
Shen Ying remained unfazed and retorted, "Says you, who’s so average-looking yet insists on calling herself the Red Heroine as if it’s something to be proud of."
Feng Ling’er angrily said, "Who’s average-looking!"
Shen Ying shrugged and replied, "Fine, if I’m average-looking, then that makes you average too."
It must be said that both women were beauties, and there was little to separate them in terms of looks.
"I’m still bigger than you."
"My fists are harder than yours."
"I’m still bigger than you."
"I was personally requested by Duan Yun to come, unlike some people who just shamelessly hang around here."
Feng Ling’er crossed her legs at a jaunty angle and folded her arms under her chest, which momentarily made her look even bigger, and said, "I’m still bigger than you."
Shen Ying laughed and paid her no more attention.
She very much looked forward to the day when this woman saw herself being bigger than her; she wondered what kind of face she would make then.
...
While Feng Ling’er and Shen Ying’s carriage was full of noise and quarrels, the carriage where Duan Yun sat was much quieter.
He did not skimp and share a carriage with them; instead, he opted for a separate one, because he still needed to train.
For this battle, he had given up way too much.
Not only did he stay up many nights, but he had also to pay for a separate carriage.
Madam Huangshan was genuinely wicked to the core!
This expense, too, should be charged to the Huangshan Sword Sect.
At night, Duan Yun opened the window of the inn and practiced the Jade Sword Stance in the moonlight, absorbing the essence of Moonlight.
At the same time, in the cold wilderness, the Murong brothers were also practicing under the moonlight next to a roadside tomb.
To avoid revealing their whereabouts and to travel light, they were clad in black, showing only their eyes.
To minimize contact with others, they didn’t even ride in a carriage; they traveled by foot, taking back routes, appearing as if they were evil demons who could not be seen in public.
The Murong brothers were well aware that their mistake lay in being too handsome and too easily attracting men; they had no choice but to conceal themselves.
Indeed, in the eyes of men like Duan Yun and others, the Murong brothers were quite handsome, especially after they’d whitened their complexion, it became more noticeable. However, to women, they seemed quite ordinary.
Such a difference in perception between men and women made their appearance seem indescribable.
Gathering Talent Manor is situated at the border of Yun and Yi states, and it’s a very large estate.
It’s said that Gathering Talent Manor has a long history. At its most glorious time, it accommodated more than a thousand retainers. Though the estate was no longer as grand as it once was, it was said that the new manor master, Zhuang Juxian, was no ordinary person. Being quite young, he had already made a name for himself in the Martial World of the Yun and Yi states, attracting more than a hundred retainers, indicating a revival for Gathering Talent Manor.
Especially with this martial arts conference, it was indeed a rare opportunity to build a reputation.
The time was ripe for Gathering Talent Manor to regain its glory!
At night, Zhuang Juxian was sitting in a small building, drinking wine.
He sported a refined little beard and was dressed neatly in a golden-trimmed purple gown, sipping his drink slowly.
He enjoyed this feeling, the pleasure of growing stronger and better step by step.
The fact that the martial arts conference was being held at Gathering Talent Manor was his luck; a few days earlier, he was fortunate enough to have kissed the foot of the Huangshan Sect Leader’s Wife. It could be said that he was now connected with the Huangshan Sword Sect.
Once the Sect Leader’s Wife became the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, he would just need to cling to her coattails, and it would certainly help prop up Gathering Talent Manor.
Therefore, Zhuang Juxian felt very pleased. At the same time, he also greatly detested and loathed Old Demon Duan.
Yes, whomever the Sect Leader’s Wife hated he should also hate, and whoever she wanted to kill was his enemy as well.
Zhuang Juxian always had a keen awareness of such matters.
...
With two days left until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the six major sects had more or less arrived.
In the past, these six major sects and the Huangshan Sword Sect were hardly different, and they wouldn’t have rushed to the meeting like this.
But there was no choice; facing Madam Huangshan, Zhao Ling, who had refined two Dragon Essence, they had to pay their respects.
Zhao Ling’s Dragon foot was addictive; one could not help but immerse themselves in it and never want to emerge, but it was also very easy to take one’s life.
These past few days, Zhao Ling had also arrived but didn’t stay in Gathering Talent Manor and didn’t see anyone.
In the extremely quiet room, wisps of sandalwood smoke rose, the scent rich and dense.
Yet even the smell of the sandalwood couldn’t cover up another stronger smell.
The aroma of meat.
Within an exquisite Purple Gold Furnace, a head was floating.
The head of Little Dragon People, that is, Dragon Essence.
This was the last part that needed to be refined.
Zhao Ling waited until now because the best delights should be saved for last, and also because refining this last essence of Dragon Essence was perfect at this moment.
Once she finished refining this last piece of Dragon Essence, she would reach an unprecedented peak, just as the song spread far and wide: "Madam Huangshan, at the pinnacle of the Martial Arts! Divine Skill invincible, her martial might knows no bounds! Madam Huangshan, like a goddess among men! Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, leading the Martial World!"
Yes, she was about to become the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, to ascend to the pinnacle of the Martial Arts, to lead the Martial World.
Becoming the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch was just the first step; as the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, she might only be recognized for the time being in Yun and Yi states.
But this was all temporary.
Once she initiated Huangshan’s demon cleansing operation, she would first raise her banner against Old Demon Duan, the current talk of the town. After that, she would handle anyone who didn’t comply with her, and she was curious to see who could stop her from truly leading the Martial World!
