Chapter 532: 488 complete 2_2

The livestock here were much larger than what Li Chengyi remembered.

He picked an inn at random, named the White Spot Inn.

The proprietor was an old man with a white beard who liked to play chess.

When Li Chengyi entered, he was studying the remaining pieces on the chessboard alone.

The first floor was filled with common people eating, with no martial artists or any sign of the pugilist world.

Most were barefoot traders on the run.

"How long will our guest be staying?" the old innkeeper asked, glancing at Li Chengyi, pausing noticeably at his white deer horns.

"One day," Li Chengyi said. He intended to scout the nearby area and absorb the energy of flowers to replenish his Evil Thoughts. He would start by staying one day to try it out.

He took out some Silver Coins and slid them across the table.

The innkeeper expertly weighed the coins, confirmed the amount, and gave change.

"Young guest, your timing isn’t great; the city has seen a series of murders recently, and more than ten people have fallen victim, all of them passing traders. The Government Office isn’t allowing anyone to leave freely, suspecting that the killer is an outsider disguised in appearance."

"Thank you for the warning," Li Chengyi nodded.

"Do be careful, and remember to pull the rope on the wall of your room if you encounter danger...."

The old man’s words were cut off as the inn’s door was suddenly pushed open with great force.

A group of tall men and women, draped in silver filigreed gauze shawls and looking sorrowful and angry, barged in.

"It’s him!"

The crowd turned their gaze upon Li Chengyi.

"A vengeance for the murder of my child is due; we cannot coexist under the same sky! I will make you taste...."

Clang!!!

In an instant, the entire inn’s hall was filled with the bright light of swords.

With a flash, the brilliance vanished.

Li Chengyi withdrew his hand from the Dingyuan Sword and looked at the old man.

"What were you saying?"

Thud, thud...

Beside him, the group of white-clothed people who had entered, a total of six, all fell to the ground with bleeding foreheads, lifeless.

"...nothing... nothing at all... have a good stay, guest," the old man stammered, sweating from his forehead.

In the hall on the first floor of the inn, all the guests who were eating and drinking seemed as if they had been hit by a pause button; their gaze briefly flitted over Li Chengyi, and then, not daring to look again, they kept their heads down and sat rigidly, not daring to move.

The innkeeper watched Li Chengyi receive the doorplate key and go upstairs, then glanced at the bodies on the floor.

’Those were people from the White Gauze Gate...! The White Gauze Gate is one of the leading forces in Shangqing City, this is trouble... they will seek revenge soon!

Report to the authorities!

I must report to the authorities immediately!!

The old man, trembling all over, hurriedly dashed out through a side door.

As he ran, the other guests also began to panic and fled through various doors and windows.

Clearly, everyone recognized the identities of the newcomers.

Even the waiters were no exception; not a single one remained, all having run away.

A moment later.

Li Chengyi, who was resting in his room, was suddenly disturbed by a noise.

He opened his eyes, walked to the door, and went downstairs.

At that moment, in the hall on the first floor, two middle-aged men and women wearing gold-trimmed white gauze shawls followed a pretty woman with a black sword hanging at her waist.

Seeing Li Chengyi come down the stairs, the two gave him a look that was a mix of shock and sorrowful anger.

"Lady Yue Shan! The murderer is him. My son came to confront him but didn’t even get to finish his sentence before he was instantly killed by this man! At least twenty witnesses saw it happen!" the middle-aged man said with intense anger.

"I wondered who dared to break the rules in Shangqing City." The delicate woman with the black sword hanging at her waist, cloaked in a large cape, with her hand on the hilt, had a silver leaf embedded on her collar.

Her gaze fell on Li Chengyi, particularly pausing on the Sword Nurturing Pouch hanging at his waist.

"So it turns out to be a fellow disciple from the Faceless Sword Sect."

"Is it a senior sister from the Qingmu Sword Sect? I am Bai Lu, under the Sunspirit Sect." Li Chengyi also recognized the other party’s identity.

"Hehe, I don’t care about your origins or identity, this is Shangqing City, at the foot of the Qingmu Sword Sect’s mountain. I am not worthy of the title ’senior sister.’ You have just arrived and killed several of my capable servants; how do you intend to compensate for this loss?" The delicate woman spoke coldly.

"Senior sister misunderstood, I was merely defending myself; from the beginning till now, they drew their swords first." Li Chengyi calmly said.

His time was precious and he didn’t want to waste it on these trivial matters.

Heading to the Qingmu Sword Sect to get proof of his trial, completing his first task, was his incidental purpose.

"With your strength, you must be a trial disciple, right? Don’t you know to hold back at first, ascertain the situation, then make a decision?" Yue Shan sneered.

"What does senior sister wish to do?" Li Chengyi frowned.

As one of the Eight Seals, his status had changed drastically, yet here he was, wasting time with a minor character, making him increasingly impatient.

"Since you are a trial disciple, then take a sword strike from me! If you can remain unharmed, I will give you the trial mark and you can leave!"

Yue Shan’s eyes turned frosty, and her right hand instantly pressed on the sword, drawing it in one swift motion.

Clang!

"Unique Swordsmanship! Tianhong Myriad Scenery!"

With a clear ringing, she drew her long sword like lightning, turning it into countless colorful sword lights that suddenly illuminated the entire inn.

The colorful sword lights folded and scattered, striking at Li Chengyi from all sides with an extremely eerie and profound trajectory.

’So unfriendly?’ Li Chengyi sighed in his heart, sensing malice and murderous intent from her.

Clearly, the relationship between the Faceless Sword Sect and the other three sects was quite delicate. She dared to make a move even though she knew he was under an elder. Had it been any other disciple, they might have had no choice but to swallow their pride.

According to Yun Chen, among the Four Sects, especially the Qingmu Sword Sect, was known for its arrogance and had no shortage of powerful young geniuses. Now, they were the first in overall strength among the Four Sects.

Now it seemed that their reputation was well deserved.

No wonder Kui Ling was so worried when she came down the mountain, it seemed that one had to be prepared for a fight soon after stepping out.

Just look at him; he had barely been down the mountain for three hours, and he had already been forced to take action so many times.

"Forget it."

Li Chengyi’s right hand gripped his sword, his eyes deep.

Whoosh!

An ordinary, unremarkable sword light suddenly shone in the inn.

No fancy moves, no technique, just a simple draw and thrust.

But this thrust was too fast.

The big swath of colorful sword lights seemed like nothing, pierced through in the blink of an eye.

Yue Shan, hidden at the back, still wore a smug, cold smile.

Then it all ended.

All her sword lights instantly dispersed, and a tremendous force tore through everything, hitting her chest hard.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the inn’s gate shattered, and Yue Shan was sent flying backward, crashing through the wall of the civilian house behind her and continuing through several stone walls.

Thud thud thud thud thud!

Finally, upon the fifth wall, she lay pressed against the surface, barely alive, collapsing, covered in blood.

Li Chengyi’s figure rapidly appeared in front of her, searched her body, found a silver badge, and imprinted his traveling credentials.

This counted as having visited the Qingmu Sword Sect.

He rose with satisfaction and walked toward the Garden of Shangqing.

Since he couldn’t rest anymore, he might as well take a look at the Flowers.
