Chapter 123
Seeing that Wei Xiaoxiao’s guard spun and was trying to make his escape, Wu Qi did not have time to further ponder on why this man was here . From Meng Xiaobai's waist, he pulled out a sharp dagger that the people of Meng Village brought with them all the time, and with a swing of his arm, he threw it towards the man . With a loud whistling noise, the dagger thrust right out, its hilt hitting forcefully onto the back of the man's head, causing his upper body to tilt forward, foaming at the mouth while rolling on the ground .
"Hey, my young miss has come here personally for the challenge . Who dares to run away from us? If Shi Tianmo still doesn't want to show himself, each of you will have to die!" snapped Wu Qi, as he glared ferociously at all the apprentices in front of him . With keen eyes, Zhao Chenzui saw how Wu Qi purposely knocked out that man . Thus, he hastily brought a group of guards and sprinted over, dispersing all the apprentices who tried to block them with pikes in their hand . Then, they tied up the man, together with a few other followers of him, bringing all of them back to Wu Qi’s side .
The few men who followed the guard of Wei Xiaoxiao kept struggling and roaring furiously . With a loud shout, Zhao Chenzui ordered his men to give them a round of beating, leaving them with a bloody nose and a swollen face . After that, only the groaning of pain could be heard from them, as they dared not to yell and scold any more . The secret agents of Scouting Office moved in quickly, using strings made from cow tendon to tightly tie up the hands and legs of these men . They then pulled out some clothes that came with a strange smell and shoved into their mouths . With all that being done, they dragged these men behind Wu Qi .
A few instructors of Shi Martial Club rushed out from the crowd, pointing their fingers at Wu Qi and yelled, "Presumptuous! They are the distinguished guests of our martial club . Why do you tie them up? Set them free, hurry up and let them go! My boys, fence up these group of people who have no idea of death or danger!" As these instructors kept yelling out loudly, a large group of apprentices drew their weapons . Some of them simply picked up stone dumbbells or wooden sticks placed nearby, and slowly formed a circle around Wu Qi and his company .
As time went by, numerous warriors who came to watch the happenings began to emerge on top of Shi Martial Club's wall . These warriors, who were too eager for the fray, sat on the wall, or simply lied on their stomachs, pointing and looking into the courtyard with their faces kindled with joy . Some even let out sharp and loud whistles, pointing their finger into the courtyard and scolding, "Useless fools of Shi Martial Club, these people are here for the challenge, so you better fight them according to the rule of the underground, fist to fist and sword to sword! Are you going to bully them with great numbers?"
Wu Qi let out a loud and long laugh, cupped his fist and bowed at those warriors who sat on the wall and were watching the scene, then said, "Thank you for speaking boldly to uphold justice! Today, my young miss has taken a fancy to this property of Shi Martial Club . Thus she brings my brothers and me here to challenge them and seize the ownership of the venue . I hope all of you can be our witness . If we defeat Shi Tianmo today, the ownership of this Shi Martial Club will go to my young miss!"
All the warriors on the wall broke out into a loud laughter, each coming out with words of agreement towards Wu Qi's provocation . It was a rare event to witness someone come and challenge Shi Martial Club, and these warriors just wished they could fight fiercely and make blood flow into a stream . As a result, they kept cursing and scolding loudly, cursing Shi Tianmo as a coward that only knew how to bully those rangers who had no proper background, and when there were real experts coming to challenge him, he could only hide behind the wall, quivering and daring not to come out and meet with the challenger .
Amidst the chaotic scene, out of the eight Ghost Immortals who were disguised into serving women, four of them had mixed themselves inside the crowd . They stealthily sneaked into the backyard of Shi Martial Club . As the sun was shining brightly in the sky, all the escape arts of these Ghost Immortals who cultivated their Yin Spirit from the body of the ghost had lost their function . Therefore they could only take the opportunity when the situation was getting messier to sneak into Shi Martial Club . As their current look was no different from serving women from ordinary wealthy clans, they did not attract any attention .
On the other side, Wu Qi was still clamoring in the courtyard . He kept holding onto the so-called rules of the underground, demanding someone from Shi Martial Club to fight a fair duel with him . However, as all those instructors at the scene were not someone who could make decisions, they could only order all the apprentices to form into a large circle around Wu Qi and his company, while pressing and shrinking the space in between . None of them dared to answer Wu Qi's challenge, as they had no rights to decide on the problem that could affect the future of Shi Martial Club .
The clamor of whistling and shouting was rising, as those warriors who came seeking for pleasure were getting more and more impatient . No expert of Shi Martial Club was showing up, and over three thousand apprentices had encircled a few hundred warriors who came challenging them . It was a great evidence to use against Shi Martial Club . If such news were spread out, the reputation of Shi Martial Club would be severely affected . These warriors kept cursing wantonly with loud voices, and someone even cursed every single one of Shi Tianmo's ancestors of eighteen generations .
Right when the atmosphere was getting more and more intense, a loud and long cry that soared into the sky suddenly rung out from a courtyard a few buildings away further into Shi Martial Club . With the long cry, a deep and powerful voice suddenly echoed out, "Who is this unbridled junior? How dare you to stir up trouble in Shi Martial Club? And you, a bunch of useless fools, scram now!"
The last two words, 'scram now', sounded like a muffled rumbling of thunder, causing nearly a thousand warriors, who were either standing, sitting, or lying on the wall, to let out a shocking cry at the same time . Blood was seen bursting out from the ears of these warriors, and each lost their balance, rolling and falling off the wall, being thrown to the ground and nearly getting themselves killed .
Together with the loud reproach, a group of over twenty young men was seen marching out slowly from a large hall at the far end of the courtyard . Each of them was clad in a same dark long robe and was having different kinds of weapons hanging down from their waists, their faces beaming with energy as they were led by an old man, . Upon seeing their arrival, all the instructors immediately breathed out a long sigh of relief . Smile was seen emerging on their face as they greeted, "Young Master is here . Now we can have a peace of mind . Greeting, Young Master!"
The old man was Shi Wugou, the only son of Shi Tianmo, an expert with a cultivation of Mind Focusing tier of Xiantian realm, and a man who enjoyed a high reputation in the martial art circle of Ji City . After all, for those warriors who did not have a proper teacher and background, it was extremely difficult to cultivate into Xiantian realm, let alone breaking through Respiration tier, or even leaping into a higher tier . Unless one was a disciple of any of the thirteen sects that cultivated Dao of Immortality in Great Yan Dynasty, which allowed him to access a complete legacy of cultivation, and also possessed the Spirit Root that was suitable for cultivation, it would be nearly impossible to attain advanced cultivation of Xiantian realm .
As a warrior, Shi Tianmo had allegedly cultivated to the peak of Embryonic Breath tier, and Shi Wugou had also attained the cultivation of Mind Focusing tier . In the underground society of Great Yan Dynasty, this pair of father and son could definitely be considered as the grandmasters who stood at the pinnacle of martial arts . Therefore, upon seeing the arrival of Shi Wugou, all the apprentices of Shi Martial Club immediately spread out, lining into rows of neat formation on both sides of the field . The sharp vibes around them were all gone now .
