You can look down on most of the ancient market from there.

It is One-Armed Blade Li Cang’s favorite place to stay.”

Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows slightly, then picked up the Gentle Wind Thunder Blade on the desk and walked out of the hall, “Let’s go!

Everyone, follow me across the river.

We’re going to the ancient market to collect a debt.”

Li Shenshan and Wei Yang exchanged a glance, picked up their weapons without hesitation, and followed Chu Xisheng like the two guardians, Hengha Erjiang.

※※※※

Li Cang was drinking on the top floor of Canglong Inn.

His brows furrowed into a ‘川’ character, his thoughts scattered, drinking one cup after another with a heavy heart.

Li Cang was drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

The source of his worry was the young Overlord Knife, Chu Xisheng.

He hadn’t expected that guy to rise so quickly within just a few months, becoming the sixtieth-ranked Qingyun’s genius, enjoying immense fame recently.

Nor did he expect this person to suddenly become one of the most prominent figures in Xiushui County’s Jianghu, dominating West Mountain with formidable strength.

Even more surprising was that even the combined efforts of the Shangguan Family and the Sheen Family couldn’t do anything to Chu Xisheng.

Unfortunately, he had a bit of a grudge with this West Mountain Hall Master.

In the battle at Taste House, he had facilitated the White Cloud Village and the Shangguan Family’s attack on Chu Xisheng.

So, upon learning that Chu Xisheng had broken into Wen Family Castle yesterday, severely injuring the Sheen Family, Li Cang spent thousands of taels of silver to purchase detailed information about the battle, trying to understand it thoroughly.

Since last night, Li Cang had been worrying until today.

The situation was far worse than he had initially thought.

Even if the hidden Fifth Grade master of West Mountain Hall was excluded, it was still beyond his ability to handle.

Just Li Shenshan and Wei Yang alone were enough to match him.

Yet, people focused on the hidden master of West Mountain Hall, ignoring Chu Xisheng’s growth in strength.

He had used Vengeful Blade Intent to suppress the entire Wen Family Castle.

At that time, all Ninth Grade Martial Cultivators within the castle couldn’t move normally nor use crossbows; the combat power of Eighth Grade Martial Cultivators was suppressed by his Blade Intent, reduced to less than sixty percent of their usual strength.

Therefore, West Mountain Hall was able to capture Wen Family Castle with minimal casualties.

The subsequent process of Chu Xisheng eliminating three hundred riders of the West Mountain County Army was even more shocking.

Those were the elite of West Mountain County Army, all Ninth Grade, and trained in the Emperor’s Secret Technique, their Qi-Blood interconnected with their Divine Thought.

Yet, they were still crushed by Chu Xisheng’s Blade Intent, causing a complete collapse.

Li Cang was one hundred percent certain that Chu Xisheng’s Vengeance Blade Intent had strengthened again.

This person’s combat power increased by the day, changing every day.

At most in half a year, he estimated, he would reach the Seventh Rank.

Li Cang had a massive headache; if he had known this, he would have avoided Chu Xisheng regardless of Shangguan Longjian’s pressure.

After all, their grudge was nothing more than Chu Xisheng killing his two arena fighters and causing him to lose in several arena matches, not to the point of a life-and-death battle.

Li Cang now could only hope that the matter he handled that day was done secretly enough that Chu Xisheng wouldn’t know.

Just as Li Cang poured another cup of strong liquor into his mouth, feeling the burning sensation in his throat, he suddenly felt his head exploding as if a Divine Beast Vengeance had suddenly stormed into his mind, causing an uproar.

“Vengeful Blade Intent?”

One-Armed Blade Li Cang’s pupils contracted, instinctively giving way to fear.

——That guy, he actually found him so quickly?

Instinctively, Li Cang leaped toward the west window.

That side faced the river, and since he practiced Water Element Technique, once in the river, Chu Xisheng couldn’t do anything to him.

However, a tall man wearing a bronze mask was waiting for him in that direction.

This person leaped into the air, wielding a big spear, fiercely slamming it down to block Li Cang’s escape route.

One-Armed Blade Li Cang recognized this masked man; it was Wei Yang, the Yang Character Platform Master of West Mountain Hall.

Yesterday at Wen Family Castle, this person suppressed seven Seventh Rank Martial Cultivators single-handedly; annihilating them one by one.

Today, this person’s combat power was even stronger.

When the spear came crashing down, it was as if a giant wolf was howling at the sky, intending to devour heaven!

Trying to swallow Li Cang whole.

This was clearly the ultimate move ‘Devouring Sun’, created by the Dominating Martial King of the Northern Divine Strategy Capital, used with the unique War Map ‘Night Wolf Devouring Sun Map’ of the Divine Strategy Capital, able to momentarily exert power beyond one’s cultivation by a whole grade.

One-Armed Blade Li Cang was shocked in heart and spirit.

He swung his long blade forward while his figure miraculously shifted from a forward lunge to a backward retreat, disappearing quickly.

With a ‘clank’ sound, Li Cang’s right arm and long blade were knocked aside by the opponent’s spear, the residual force cutting a three-inch-long wound on Li Cang’s face.

As he attempted to dodge westward, he was blocked by a Sword Intent from that direction.

It was Li Shenshan, standing by the eastern window with a solemn posture.

He shouted loudly, his voice shaking for miles, “West Mountain Hall of the Iron Banner Gang is handling matters here.

All unrelated persons, get out of here!”

To the north, there were two girls.

One wore a delicate silk dress with rose patterns, looking charming.

——That was Lu Luanti.

Although this girl was only of the lower Eighth Grade in cultivation, for some reason, Li Cang felt she was even more dangerous than the other two.

The other one had a beautiful and plain appearance, dressed simply in blue, holding twin blades, exuding an extremely dangerous aura.

His attention, however, was firmly attracted by the figure that leaped up from the south.

This person had a tall posture, delicate and handsome features, with a pair of unforgettable long phoenix eyes, carrying a hint of a smile.

His skin was fair to the point of translucency, bloodless, appearing weak as if a breeze could knock him down.

One-Armed Blade Li Cang’s heart trembled uncontrollably as he looked at this person, “Chu Xisheng!”

He exhaled a breath of turbid air, his gaze turning cold, “May I ask Master Chu, in what way Li Cang has offended you?

To disregard the rules of Jianghu and besiege me in broad daylight like this?”

Secretly, Li Cang was worried, why was there no movement from his numerous guards and the highly-paid Sixth Grade Martial Cultivator on the fourth floor of Canglong Inn?

In the next second, the blood drained from his face.

He sensed a breath of energy rushing out from the fourth floor, then fleeing away like a soaring eagle.

That guy took so much of his silver and elixir.

He actually fled in battle—

Not only this person, but several Seventh Grade Martial Cultivators also followed closely, scattering in all directions.

Seeing this, Chu Xisheng sneered, “No wonder others want to escape.

Your Excellency can throw the corpses of your arena fighters to the dogs.

Unless someone’s brain is filled with water, they wouldn’t risk their life for you.”

He then narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of a different light, “Actually, I too want to know, where have you offended me, that you’re so guilty?

Why do you try to flee at the sight of me?”

Li Cang’s face was as pale as paper, but he pretended to be calm, “Joke!

You slashed into my Primordial Spirit with Blade Intent, obviously with ill intent.

If I don’t escape, should I stay and wait for death?”

Chu Xisheng didn’t believe him.

He stared at Li Cang for a moment before putting away his curiosity.

“Forget it, whatever you did to offend me, it doesn’t matter now.

Do it!”

Whatever the grudge was, it was unimportant now.

Because this person was doomed to die!

No need to dwell on the issues of the dead.

At that instant, Li Shenshan’s sword, Wei Yang’s spear, and Liu Ruoxi’s twin blades simultaneously struck towards Li Cang.

Lu Luanti didn’t make a move, but her dreamy Blade Intent shrouded Li Cang’s Divine Sense from afar.

Li Cang desperately countered and dodged.

And within twenty breaths, Li Cang was driven by the trio to Chu Xisheng’s front.

Clank!

That was the sound of Chu Xisheng’s long blade being drawn from its scabbard.

He was using the spare ‘Demon Pattern Cicada Wing Blade’, whose light body accorded it with incredible blade speed.

It transformed into a white light and severed Li Cang’s neck.

Li Cang’s head flew high, only to be casually smashed down Canglong Inn by another slash from Chu Xisheng.

He then walked to the railing, coldly looking at the crowd of onlookers below.

“This is the fate awaiting those who fence stolen goods for bandits!

From today onwards, whoever dares to collude with the White Cloud Village and Jiudao Dock rebels in this ancient market, fencing stolen goods for them, I will annihilate their entire clan!”
