Chapter 931: Huajin Inn
Gyeonggi Province.
Huajin Manor.
It is a town one day's journey from Chungcheong Province into Gyeonggi Province of the Li Dynasty.
Just as mentioned before, Longyan has its pugilistic world, and the Li Dynasty has its own. And this Huajin Manor happens to be the gathering place for the martial arts practitioners of the Li Dynasty. One can tell from the name itself—it is not a city, not a prefecture, nor a county, but a manor.
At this moment, all sorts of monsters and demons have long been waiting here at Huajin Manor.
The pugilistic world has always been this chaotic.
Whether organized or unorganized, government soldiers who have infiltrated, or those just here to watch the spectacle, all are gathered at Huajin Manor at this time.
In the Li Dynasty, there is an unwritten rule.
It is just one sentence.
Killing someone here is not against the law.
But once you leave Huajin Manor, it is not allowed anywhere else.
Remember the website.
It is here that these martial artists resolve their personal grudges or sect disputes.
Here, private duels or life-and-death battles are not subject to legal jurisdiction.
In short.
Huajin Inn is overcrowded. This three-story inn and restaurant is currently packed with all kinds of martial artists: some are Duyanlong, some are missing an arm, some are dressed in white like fairies, and some are crazy with yellow hair. These people all share one trait: sitting here, whether others are gorging on meat and wine or picking their feet while gnawing on chicken legs, they pay no mind to one another. Especially today, even disciples from sects that usually have conflicts are suppressing their urge to fight, waiting in this lively atmosphere.
"Hahahaha, I heard that Vice Minister Liu is arriving soon! Everyone, we martial artists of the Li Dynasty cannot let this Longyan look down on us!"
At this moment, a burly man laughed wildly.
After all, the imperial court is the imperial court.
The pugilistic world is the pugilistic world.
Therefore, Huajin Manor is famous in the Li Dynasty as a place where duels and deaths occur every single day.
An old Daoist smiled and said: "Someone in the imperial court has put out the word: whoever can take that boy's life will receive a Golden Belt! Everyone, there is no need for me to explain what this Golden Belt is, right? Are you not tempted?"
A Golden Belt!
This is something established by the Li Dynasty for these martial artists. Having this Golden Belt represents your status in the pugilistic world; not only can you legally establish a sect, but you also have the privilege of being exempt from death for wiping out a sect!
"Exactly, traveling north alone? Hmph, this is taking our Li Dynasty pugilistic world too lightly!"
A charming woman cast a flirtatious glance and said in a delicate voice.
Everyone felt their bones go soft.
An undercurrent had already begun to surge.
"Good heroes, don't fight over it, don't fight over it. That Vice Minister Liu from Longyan is no easy opponent, is he? Is there anyone willing to strike the first blow?"
Someone said.
Among the martial artists, who wouldn't flock to this Golden Belt?
"You old bald donkey, what are you saying? Who among those who came here today isn't aiming for that Golden Belt?"
A group of people burst into loud laughter.
But no one wants to die.
Everyone wants to know exactly how strong this attendant is.
Bang!
Everyone fell silent, lowering their heads to drink.
They naturally do not believe this Vice Minister Liu has much ability, but he is followed by an attendant known as the number one fierce general of Longyan.
The Golden Belt is indeed tempting.
"She came too?"
"This, this is Lu Yao of Jueqing Valley!"
The whole place was in an uproar.
Just when no one was willing to speak, the woman in white holding a sword placed a large piece of gold on the table. This action immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The woman's cold voice rang out: "Whoever goes to strike the first blow, this one hundred gold is theirs!"
"It's her!"
What is loved is that every one of these women has stunning, peerless beauty.
What is hated is that their strikes are ruthless, making the men of the Li Dynasty afraid to get close to any of them.
This time, it is said that Jueqing Valley has come into conflict with the Liehuo Gang of the Li Dynasty because of a wealthy man who abandoned a woman, and the conflict is escalating.
The woman continued to keep her head down, seemingly too lazy to engage in any pleasantries with them.
Jueqing Valley! It is the number one female sect of the Li Dynasty. Because the sect consists entirely of women, and each is famous for being breathtakingly beautiful, these women have a great reputation in the pugilistic world. They have formidable skills, and led by Lu Yao, they hate all men in the world and are extremely ruthless toward the flower-picking thieves of the pugilistic world.
This is a sect that makes people both love and hate them.
One hundred gold!
Just to strike the first blow!
This temptation is already great enough!
This
She wants this Golden Belt—could it be that she wants to wipe out the Liehuo Gang?
Everyone gasped.
"Qiu Yiming!"
"My god."
The whole place was in an uproar.
"Hahahaha, since Sect Leader Lu has such a wish, this younger brother shall go!"
Just then, a dashing man dressed in white rose gracefully. Everyone could not help but look over.
"It's him!"
The crowd began to discuss it in hushed tones.
Lu Yao, knowing who it was just by hearing the voice, did not turn her head to look at him, but merely pushed the gold forward a little.
Paused for a moment.
This Qiu Yiming was also a highly skilled swordsman in the Li Dynasty, and he was handsome, elegant, and dashing. He made many women in the martial arts world fall for him.
But ever since this Qiu Yiming began traveling the martial arts world, he had declared that he was not interested in any woman; he only wanted the Sect Leader of Jueqing Valley, Lu Yao!
Had he chased all the way here just to curry favor?
This was the strongest swordsman of the Li Dynasty's younger generation!
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"This is going to be good, the first one to make a move is Qiu Yiming?"
She even brought over a wine cup and filled it with wine.
Qiu Yiming laughed heartily and walked out dashingly: "Wait for me to take that Vice Minister Liu's head; it won't be too late to drink when I return!"
Everyone who heard this felt admiration.
Lu Yao, whose face was beautiful enough to topple cities, finally raised her head and looked down.
At this moment.
Vice Minister Liu and his attendants had already arrived at the gate of Huajin Manor.
"This... this guy has never been defeated since he started traveling the martial arts world!"
"Vice Minister Liu is in danger!"
The martial arts practitioners of Huajin Manor all became excited.
You look at me.
I look at you.
The young man who appeared before them and blocked the city gate was none other than the dashing Qiu Yiming.
The roof of this inn was the best vantage point for watching.
Liu Zheng and Pei Qianyun stared at each other with wide eyes.
Liu Zheng couldn't understand it; you've already been standing here for an hour!
Say something, at least!
Hey!
Hmm.
Quite handsome.
It's just that
He didn't know that Qiu Yiming was naturally doing this to attract these Li Dynasty martial arts practitioners, and he was eyeing the burly man on the horse with a hint of mockery in his gaze.
Is this it?
It feels like he wouldn't even be able to withstand a single sword strike from me.
The sun is very bright today, you know!
You have one hand behind your back and one hand holding your sword.
You've been posing here for so long, what exactly are you trying to do?
"Is he asleep?"
"Probably not."
"How about we speak up first and ask what he wants?"
His entrance time cannot be too short.
"Qian Yun?"
"Present, Young Master!"
"Young Master, absolutely not! If we do that, where would Young Master's status and dignity be? Young Master, we are the ones who should be aloof."
"..."
"Is he strong? He looks pretty impressive."
"Young Master, how about I fight him with my hands behind my back?"
"..."
