Chapter 38: The Black Market Shaken, Fame Rising (Seeking Monthly Tickets, Seeking Follow-up Reads)

"So... so strong!"

Everyone gazed at that figure sitting quietly on the chair of the shattered carriage; although the environment was crude, in their eyes,

it was as if they were seeing a King of the Underworld sitting upon a lotus throne.

They couldn't help but recall the nickname Fatty had given him.

Brother Fierce!

They had thought it was just a playful title, but they hadn't expected they had underestimated him too much.

In their eyes, the Fly Child, who could casually slaughter those at the peak of Spirit Opening and was like a boss, was nothing more than a ragdoll before him, being toyed with and easily executed.

The Fly Child didn't even make him stand up before he fell!

This gap... was simply too large!

"Brother Fierce's external avatar... is truly terrifying!"

Fatty’s expression was one of shock; he knew Jiang Yan was very powerful, but he hadn't expected...

that what he knew was only the tip of the iceberg!

This guy was definitely a genius from some top-tier faction!

"Is it the Wild History Club? Or the Yama Son of Heaven Palace? The shadow-related World Shadow Society? Or perhaps a monster cultivated locally in Jiangnan Province..."

Several names of top-tier dark factions flashed through Fatty’s mind, but he dared not be certain.

Originally, the most suspicious ones should have been the official factions that widely recruited talent, but because this combat style and ability were too...

evil.

Whose righteous figure’s shadow would transform into such a bizarre two-headed giant snake, devouring everything, and even growing numerous arms from a headless torso to wield swords and slaughter powerful enemies?

It was even more terrifying than a pathological creature!

He truly could not associate the Brother Fierce before him with the History Correction Bureau that executed justice.

Originally, Fatty still had a bit of superiority in his heart, thinking that once Brother Fierce arrived in the Magic City and saw his own faction, he could shock the other party and then smoothly recruit him as a guest elder.

But now it seemed...

it was he who needed to befriend the other party and leave a good impression.

'Father once said that the pathology in the long river of history is still deepening, pushing a large amount of pathological domains into the present world; while it brings danger, it also provides more opportunities.

In this increasingly chaotic era, the future must belong to these geniuses. Father always says I lack ambition, little does he know that luck is also a part of strength. I just walked out and bumped into Brother Fierce; if I can latch onto this big shot, with the two of us, wouldn't we be slaughtering everything? Hehehe...'

Fatty was excited in his heart and just wanted to continue cozying up to Brother Fierce, but he discovered...

the other party had disappeared again.

Whether it was the Shadow-Eating Snake, the corpse of the Fly Child, or the massive swarm of flies, all had vanished without a trace.

Only the ruins left behind after the battle proved that everything just now was not a hallucination.

Without the blockade of the Fly Child, Carriage Driver No. 4 quickly contacted the Five Vicious Dharma Assembly via mobile phone.

When the reinforcements from the Five Vicious Dharma Assembly arrived, the leader was a middle-aged man with white hair wearing a black robe; he was the president of the Five Vicious Dharma Assembly, a powerhouse of the Dharma Seed Realm.

After listening to everyone recount the process, he looked at the small grove that had almost been leveled, his gaze filled with astonishment.

It was hard to imagine that these were traces left by a battle in the Dao Foundation Realm?

It was almost catching up to the Dharma Seed Realm!

The president spoke: "Regarding today's incident, our Five Vicious Dharma Assembly will not shirk responsibility. Later, we will present each of you with a Dao Foundation Realm historical item as compensation, and we have already arranged for guest elders of the Dao Foundation Realm to escort you home. As for the many guests who died, as long as their families come forward, we will compensate them as well."

Although this incident was a monster attack, logically speaking, the Five Vicious Dharma Assembly would at most fulfill humanitarian obligations, but...

it just so happened that Carriage Driver No. 10 was parasitized by insect eggs; even if not voluntary, it was a fact that he sent information to lure other carriage drivers for the Fly Child.

Because many people died, this news could not be hidden.

Therefore, the Five Vicious Dharma Assembly could not shirk responsibility; unless they were willing to abandon this cash cow, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept it.

Reputation was more important than profit!

If the Fly Child hadn't already been executed by Sima Luoshui, the Five Vicious President would have loved to tear him into ten thousand pieces!

Thinking of Sima Luoshui...

The Five Vicious President’s mouth twitched; this name was too watery. He said: "Sima Luoshui has eliminated a scourge for us history walkers. As long as he comes in person and proves his identity, he can collect a top-tier Dao Foundation level item at the Five Vicious Dharma Assembly."

After speaking, the Five Vicious President did not linger; he still had to send Carriage Drivers No. 10 and No. 4 for treatment, otherwise, it would chill the hearts of his subordinates.

What a bunch of troublesome matters!

It was decided: from now on, not even a single fly would be allowed to enter!

Ningning, who was still working a part-time job, heard that the carriage drivers had an accident and hurriedly ran to the medical clinic in the Dharma Assembly's station. Seeing Carriage Driver No. 4, who was on the verge of death, being supported by No. 7, her eyes immediately turned red.

"Thank goodness you're okay!"

Ningning threw herself into the arms of Carriage Driver No. 7; when she first received the news, she was trembling all over with fear.

She was terrified that it was her father who had met with an accident.

"No. 3 died, No. 4 is lightly injured, and No. 10 was parasitized by fly eggs and is in critical condition; he has already been sent to Old Chu for emergency treatment.

Ningning, your dad has great luck. At that time, the guest I was dropping off was in the opposite direction, and because it was too far away, I didn't go even after receiving the message, so I just happened to escape a disaster."

No. 7 patted Ningning’s head; he also hadn't expected such a big thing to happen tonight.

He sighed: "This world is getting more and more chaotic, and I don't know if I can live until the day you get married... Forget it, I can't stand such great grievances. Zhang Ningning, you should just stay at home, and Dad will provide for you."

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Ningning stomped her feet and laughed through her tears, then turned to look at Carriage Driver No. 4, who had just been shown a display of father-daughter affection, and said: "Uncle, it's good that you came back safely!"

"Yes, a blessing in misfortune. It's fortunate that we had that person in the carriage!"

No. 4 was also relieved, his words full of gratitude.

Ningning was also curious and asked about the specific details.

However, the more she listened, the more familiar it felt. Her mouth opened into an "O" shape, and after asking about his attire, she could already confirm...

This Sima Luoshui was the big brother!

Soon,

the news spread throughout the Five Vicious Dharma Assembly, causing a sensation. Many people had lingering fears and were glad they hadn't left in a hurry.

There were also people who heard that the Five Vicious Dharma Assembly was going to pay compensation and loudly clamored that they were friends of the deceased customers, going to demand an explanation.

And the name Sima Luoshui spread along with it.

After all, sitting like a King of the Underworld and killing a Dao Foundation expert with a flick of a finger could be described as stealing the show.

For a time, there was much discussion.

In the crowd, a thin, gaunt man heard that his external avatar was a two-headed shadow snake and couldn't help but shiver, secretly thinking he was lucky to be alive.

Just a little bit more...

and he wouldn't have to work for the rest of his life.

At the same time,

Jiang Yan, who was at the center of the storm, felt somewhat complicated.

It wasn't that he was trying to keep a low profile, leaving quietly, indifferent to fame and fortune.

In reality, he had no strength to run around at all;

he hadn't even had time to catch his breath before he was ambushed by the long river of history,

and pulled into a new pathological domain!
