The Salt Commission Square was completely silent, and the smell of blood pervading the air grew stronger.
The burly man who was beheaded had completely bled out. Still, no one dared to come forward, and no one dared to moan in pain again. No one even dared to move a finger.
Ye Que sat pristinely in front of them, and he looked indifferent as usual. He was grinning, but to the others, he looked as terrible as an evil demon. This was truly indiscriminate killing on his part; even demonic beasts would not smile when they feasted on humans.
The lower the rank of ruffian, the more he would believe the theory of 'winner takes all'. The person who was the strongest had the right to lead.
It was real, direct and effective.
One hour passed by very quickly.
When the door opened again, the group of burly men lying on the floor felt as if a huge stone was lifted off their backs; it was very obvious. They were ge
Ye Que spent three entire days and nights to consolidate all of the gangs in the entire Luoyang City under his wing. It was not huge news, but it did not go under the radar either. Some people or organizations were bound to find out, such as the Court of Judicial Review. The ruffians were originally under the jurisdiction of the Court of Judicial Review. It would allocate those sort of tasks that were unspeakable or did not require any technical expertise to them, and in turn, they would be somewhat protected by it if they stayed within the law. However, overnight, 80 percent of them had switched allegiance to another faction, and the Court of Judicial Review was paying considerable attention to the matter now. They felt as if someone had pulled the rug out from underneath their feet. Of course, the entire matter was settled very quickly. That very afternoon, Qian Shuxiao brought taels of silver to the Court to smooth things ov
The rising northern wind swept the yellow sand beyond the Great Wall and blew along the winding Luo River to invade Luoyang in a single night. Snow ceased to fall in the middle of April, while the end of April and beginning of May brought an end to the frost. Life began flourishing at the beginning of summer but the resentful middle of May cast a dry spell on the farmland. Early June, however, was silent and still. During this time, Ye Que continued making Qian Shuhua practice making a 90-degree jab. However, the spear became heavier and longer over time. Thanks to him, what little gentleness and beauty left in her was refined into gallantry and intrepidity. Not even an inch of fair skin could be found on her body; all of her was now a bronze color. The members of the Divine Sect had also increased from the original three to several hundred to the current thousands. Of course, the sect was no match for those top-notch Truth-cul
The saying went that the wrath of the emperor would result in millions of corpses and blood that flowed for thousands of miles while the wrath of scholars would result in a comet striking the moon and a halo in the sky. However, angered commoners had no choice but to remove their hats and shoes and helplessly knock their heads on the ground, leaving a trail of blood in their wake. What about the wrath of a woman? Naturally, an angered woman would go into hysterics and accept no reasoning. If she couldn't win with her arguments, she would scold. If she couldn't win with her scolding, she would hit. This had been the case since ancient times. "Don't you feel shame for stealing someone else's man?" "Yunhai doesn't know you at all! Don't flatter yourself!" "We were childhood friends and sweethearts. If not for a vixen like you, why would he become the way he is now?" "I think you're jealous that I'm more
Qian Shuhua was standing tall in the middle of the martial arts drilling ground while Lin Mei'er had fallen 10 meters away. They were surrounded by the academy students.Following the deep and resounding voice calling "Not satisfied!" earlier, a gap was created in the crowd of students. It was as if there was an invisible pair of hands separating the curtains of fog. Shortly after, five men walked in. The leader was tall and beefy and wore an arrogant expression. He had a square face, giving others the impression that he was a tall mountain. His expression immediately cooled after seeing a teary-eyed Lin Mei'er on the ground. "How audacious of a silly little girl still wet behind her ears to punish someone so arrogantly. Did you think the Luoyang subsidiary of Mount Shu is easily bullied? How dare a child from a merchant family provoke one of us when it comes to cultivation." The man first walked over to Lin Mei'er to help her up before turni
Qian Shuhua stared at Lin Shan who stood 10 meters away from her, watching how the flame continued to rise from the wooden sword in his hand. She felt like she was facing an insurmountable mountain. The scarlet flame seemed to be igniting all the air around them while wisps of smoke climbed into her vision. The figure of Lin Shan became blurry to her. Qian Shuhua tightened her hold on the spear as Ye Que's voice resounded inside her ears. "When a spear user stays still, she's like a mountain. When she moves, she's like a bolt of lightning. When there's a spear in her hand, the world is hers!" She placed the spear in front of her body and perfused it with True Energy, causing it to emit a faint black radiance. Though the radiance was dim, it was dense. Even though she knew she was facing a Physic Realm expert that she had no chance of prevailing over, she didn't feel the slightest inclination to retreat. It was because of the Tr
Qian Shuhua dreamed of petals of exquisite beauty, where peach blossom flowers formed an ocean. Two youngsters sat side by side on the branch of a peach blossom tree. The cool breeze brought with it a faint delight while the migratory birds cooed. It was a poetic and picturesque scene. She didn't know when but a rain of fire began to fall from the sky above. The flames rapidly ignited all the petals, set the peach blossom tree on fire, and burned the migratory birds to death. The youngers were also separated by the fire. Wonderland turned into purgatory. Qian Shuhua wanted to cry but no tears came. She wanted to scream for help but no voice came. All that was left in her vision was a field of red. Out of the blue. A pair of strong yet gentle arms embraced her. Slowly, the sea of purgatory fire extinguished. The cool breeze picked up, caressing the scorched plains. Young shoots quietly sprang from the ground, gradually replacing the blazing w
In the short span of an hour, 36 Branch Masters of the Divine Sect were all gathered in one place. Ye Que personally took charge of the meeting and put in order three missions. Qian Shuxiao didn't say a word throughout the meeting and kept his brows tightly knitted. After everyone had left, he could no longer hold himself back and said, "Brother Ye, is this the strategy that you've prepared? Isn't it a little lacking?" Ye Que glanced at him and replied, "Then what do you think we should do?" Without even thinking, Qian Shuxiao answered, "Start a war. Have a true battle with the Extinctive Sword Manor House and break the legs of that damned Lin Shan! I'll kill him for bullying my sister!" Ye Que shook his head, chuckling. "Isn't your plan the true child's play? Start a war against the Extinctive Sword Manor House? With what? With those hooligans that we took under our wings? Most of them just started cultivating three months ago
The moon and stars were pale in the quiet night. The inhabitants of Luoyang City had been struggling in the stifling heat for an entire day. The clouds that had gathered into a thick mass just before nightfall was so close to the ground that they seemed so close to touching the faraway Jinshan Temple. It was so stuffy that people could hardly breathe. Even cicadas, crickets, and toads had lost their zeal to bellow their grievances, only emitting weak cries when they simply couldn't bear the heat. First, the clouds obscured the moonlight. Then came the faint rumbling of thunder. One could even see bolts of lightning flashing in the crevices of the clouds. It seemed that a rainstorm was coming. A group of silhouettes sped along the path leading to the Extinctive Sword Manor House from the direction of Luoyang City. In no time at all, Ye Que showed up in the vicinity of the Manor House. Following right behind him were no less than
