“Hey, what are you looking at? Do you have some kind of scheme against me, Young Master? Hurry up and come here, kneel down, and apologize!”
“What? You won’t come? You still dare to scold me? Damn! Get rid of him! How dare he insult me, Young Master?!”
Swish, bang, ah, thud, sizzling, crash…
……
“Hey, that old geezer, have you had your fill of robbing things? They say those who see share the spoils, so come over and give me half…”
“What? Not listening? Kill him! If you don’t give half, I’ll just take it all. If you won’t part with your wealth, then be prepared to part with your life!”
Swish, bang… ah…
“Oh no… Ninth Master, Ninth Master… I can’t hold on anymore… Ninth Master, please save me…”
This was a tough opponent.
The experts brought by Young Master Huang were undoubtedly numerous, including a few at the supreme level. An opponent that could make Young Master Huang scream in such a miserable way had to be at least a third tier supreme.
Every time this happened, Ji Mo and Rocky Luo would jump in, eager to stir up trouble.
As for the others, they definitely wouldn’t intervene. Even the weakest among them, Mo Lei Er, looked down on these low-level martial artists. After all, they were true peak-level experts, and it would be ridiculous for them to take action against these low-level fighters.
In this situation, only Ji Mo and Rocky Luo’s lack of awareness as supreme ninth rank experts allowed them to act forcefully. With their current strength, they could eliminate these martial artists with just a puff of breath, so—
Bang, bang, ah, thud, sizzling, crash…
……
“Where are we settling down?”
“Hehe… Ninth Master, rest assured. We have properties in the Central Capital, and we even run an inn… I’ve already instructed them that the inn will not accept outside guests during the Heavenly Cauldron Conference and has reserved it just for us…”
“Ah, I see. That’s quite thoughtful of you.”
“Hehe… Where, where?”
“Hey, I didn’t compliment you. Why are you being so modest?”
“Uh… Can’t I just enjoy my own delusions?”
……
In the shadows, Chu Yang and Mo Tianji were walking side by side, discussing matters while using the whispering technique, since the noise around them made regular conversation inconvenient.
“Have you found anything?”
“No.”
“Strange, this chaos shouldn’t be happening. Even if the enforcers have the Law Sovereign meddling and are allowing martial artists to oppose, the Ye Family shouldn’t be completely unresponsive.”
“The situation suggests they are intentionally letting things go. It’s not just the enforcers; the Ye Family and perhaps the other great clans are likely doing the same.”
“Letting it go?”
“Yes. In fact, a quick probe with spiritual perception would reveal that places where people have died have their soul force vanish suddenly after a while, swept clean…”
“Are you saying… the heavenly demons are actually in the city? And they are still active?”
“It should be just like that.”
……
“But why are the Nine Great Clans not taking any action? Especially the Ye Family, they should have had suspicions about this conference by now, right? They can’t be completely oblivious to any signs, yet they are letting everything go. Why?”
“I think the Ye Family is likely overwhelmed and has decided not to waste resources on these minor matters. The Nine Heavens may be rare in many things, but martial artists are the least rare; the other big clans should be the same.”
“That makes some sense, but it feels a bit generalized.”
“To fully understand… Hehe, the Ye Family and other clans have likely already realized the existence of the heavenly demons and the threat they pose; however, since the demons remain hidden and have no clear targets, they can’t take action. So they can only wait for the demons to reveal themselves and strike as a group, hoping for a hit. The chaos in Central Capital City might just be the best tactic for dealing with the heavenly demons.”
