Three more days passed, and news from the Blood Reward Hall arrived that the Golden Sword Hall was escorting the Nine Leaf One Branch Flower and had already reached Ping Sha Ridge!
At this time, Chu Feiyan and Chu Feiling had already set out.
With no other choice, the Chu Divine Doctor had to take matters into his own hands.
The Golden Sword Hall was a Blood Reward Organization consisting of only five members, but each of them was quite exceptional. Moreover, they were five biological brothers, ranking outside the top two hundred in Blood Reward standings.
However, this organization was known for one thing: being despicable, shameless, and cunning!
The Golden Sword Hall’s specialty was to snatch other blood rewards and claim the bounties. Or, after another organization claimed a bounty, they would ambush and rob them of the reward Amethyst.
This was something the martial artists looked down upon: If you have the capability, go find it yourself, fight for it, earn it! Snatching the hard work of others is no skill at all!
This was also seen as exploiting the loopholes of the Blood Reward system, as the very nature of the Blood Reward Organizations allowed for the claiming of Amethyst and items! They never cared about who submitted the tasks.
As long as you completed it and obtained the reward, then you would receive the bounty!
For many years, the Golden Sword Hall had been notorious, but these five men were extremely slippery; when they couldn’t win, they would flee. Each had a knack for escaping, and no one could ever catch them… for now, they lived freely.
Moreover, these despicable people were still ambitious, looking down on everyone, including the nine great clans that currently ruled the Nine Heavens.
Of course, when they encountered people from the nine great clans, the Golden Sword Hall would behave like obedient dogs, wagging their tails and flattering them. But as soon as the other party left, they would curse at them fiercely.
The boss of the Golden Sword Hall, Nangong Shifeng, often exclaimed, “Are the nine great clans just a bunch of brainless pigs? Have these bastards been living like dogs for over ten thousand years? They have no insight or guts. For instance, in this certain matter… How could he be so foolish? In another matter, how dumb do you have to be to screw up like that… If I were from the nine great clans, I would do this and that…”
This guy always spoke after the fact, making grand proclamations after he understood all the circumstances. He would always end with, “I’m truly speechless…”
He never considered that what he was saying had already happened and was public knowledge; even a fool could see that those actions shouldn't have been taken. But why didn't he say anything before it happened?
A classic case of hindsight bias!
When someone from the nine great clans came to settle the score, Nangong Shifeng would immediately kneel and beg for mercy, tears and snot flowing, constantly repenting, just to save his life, yet afterwards, he would revert to his old self…
Later, the martial artists bestowed him with a saying: “When a person becomes despicable, they become invincible.”
This guy specialized in empty bravado after the fact, which angered some people. Not only did he get two characters branded on his face, but he also had a dog tattooed on his forehead, thus earning the nickname "Three-Headed Serpent." Yes, two above and one below.
After offending the Ye Family on one occasion, he was castrated by them...
As a result, his nickname changed to "Two-Headed Snake," since one of the three heads was cut off—wasn’t that two heads?
As for the character of Nangong Shifeng, it was undoubtedly soaked in filth! He was utterly repugnant. It was said that his wife ran off with someone else, leaving him with multiple green hats, and then he was castrated, leading to his psychological distortion…
The Golden Sword Hall was the official name, but when most people referred to these five men, they simply called them the "Silver Sword Hall."
