Chapter 441: Chapter 5: The Vast Martial World, An Endless Stream of Decapitations!_2

Li Guanyi thought, and from outside came a loud shout, "Get out, get out!"

"Get out!"

Li Guanyi saw a man outside shouting and crying, who was quickly driven away.

Footsteps were heard, and Li Guanyi turned his head to see the boss of Divine Beast Manor coming over with a plate of sliced pork knuckles, placing it on their table and bowing deeply, saying, "Esteemed young hero, previously, our brother was blind and failed to recognize a true person."

"For having beaten you up, we brothers admit defeat. This plate of meat is our way of apologizing."

He bowed repeatedly, speaking words concerning the face-saving customs of the Martial World.

Looking at the nearby cat, he grimaced, fished around in his bosom for a while, took out some silver, thought for a moment, then pulled out a bunch of copper coins and said, "So, are you selling this cat or not?"

"I’ll offer, offer three taels!"

Li Guanyi couldn’t help but smile wryly. As he raised his hand, the big man reacted as if frightened, stepping back as the young Taoist said, "Not selling, not selling, take back your silver." He swept his sleeve, and the three taels of silver flew back, as for the meat, the Qilin had already bitten a piece.

After the big man had left, a thin man resembling a monkey hesitated and said, "Big brother, it seems we made a mistake. My marten has returned to its original form; perhaps, the cat is not some Exotic Beast, it was a mix-up."

So the big man flew into a rage: "You!!!"

After fuming for a while, he slapped the table:

"You little scamp, no vegetables for you tomorrow; you won’t even get any soup from today!"

Having finished their greens, they ended up cleaning a plate with their cornbread, shining it clean, savoring the broth-soaked cornbread, fully satisfying their hunger. Li Guanyi and the others finished their meal, and Canggu Taoist indifferently stated, "Tired."

"Might as well rest here for a bit."

Li Guanyi looked at the unidentified Taoist and nodded, then went to speak to the shopkeeper. The small town inn had a dining area on the first floor and some guest rooms on the second and third floors, plus what could be considered a suite, with both an inner and outer room, suitable for two people. The shopkeeper glanced at them and asked:

"The three of you, would you like to stay in guest rooms, or do you want a dormitory like those few just now?"

The Canggu Taoist indifferently declared:

"Two rooms."

"I shall occupy one alone, and you two juniors together."

The silver-haired young girl paused.

Then she reached out her hand and pulled her hood closer, covering her face.

She said nothing.

Li Guanyi thought for a moment and requested two rooms, one a guest room, the other the suite.

Li Guanyi and Shaking Light were in the suite which was essentially a living room converted into a habitable area, with tables and beds arranged; Li Guanyi let Shaking Light stay in the inner room while he stayed in the outer room.

Shaking Light raised her hand and pulled the hood down, her silver hair cascading down, shaking her head slightly, her accumulated hair spread out, becoming much smoother.

Li Guanyi sat in the chair, poured a cup of tea, then took off his Pine Pattern Sword, resting it on his lap and said, "Shaking Light, you stay in that room, be careful, this town is not right. We might receive unwelcome visitors today."

He thought for a moment, the "Six Void Four Union Divine Skill" activated, and the Mystic Turtle Dharma Form appeared.

The young man tapped on the Turtle’s shell.

"Go outside and have a look."

The Mystic Turtle, showing impatience, was sent flying by a flick of the Red Dragon Dharma Form’s tail, hitting the wall like an ice hockey puck, then his mouth continuously opening and closing, apparently cursing as he flew out. The young man sat cross-legged on the chair, eyes closed, able to hear what the Mystic Turtle Dharma Form heard.

His realm was at the second layer of the Multi-story, the Mystic Turtle Dharma Form could not stray too far from the body.

But enveloping the vicinity of this inn was feasible.

The Canggu Taoist seemed to have gone to bed early, hearing a woman’s crying and a man’s sighing; for some reason, Li Guanyi vaguely felt that ever since arriving in this village, something was very strange and out of place, but he couldn’t quite grasp it.

Suddenly, Li Guanyi heard a muted conversation:

"Is this the place?"

"Yes, there are two groups, one group heading to Zhenbei City’s Divine Beast Manor disciples, and on the other side, two Taoists, one young and one old, and one...one..."

"One what?"

"...I, I forgot, strange, I should clearly remember that person’s arrival."

"Why does it feel like three people, yet also like two people?"

"Strange, what does he look like? Is there really a third person?"

"You fool, never mind that, we need blood soon. These bumpkins don’t have much Qi blood. With the Qilin Hunting Conference imminent, we need to take some risks, let’s start with a Knockout Drug, then chop them up, and don’t spare those from Divine Beast Manor either."

"Alright."

"Qilin Hunting Conference?"

"Need for blood? Judging from their talk, these martial artists are using common folk to practice their skills..."

Li Guanyi gripped his sword, his fingers against the hilt, already filled with murderous intent.

When the Mystic Turtle Dharma Form returned, Li Guanyi explained the situation to Shaking Light, knowing that someone was already approaching.

Li Guanyi placed his hand against his lips, signaling the young girl to keep quiet, then poked a hole in the window, followed by a bamboo stick inserting through, bringing along a cloud of white smoke.

A moment later, Li Guanyi sat in the chair with his eyes closed, as a martial artist holding a sword broke open the door lock and gently pushed the door open, saying, "Young Taoist, what’s so remarkable about you?" As his hand reached for a chain to grab Li Guanyi, he suddenly felt a pain in his wrist.

The young Taoist opened his eyes, and as the man was about to shout, he felt a sudden pain in his chest and fell face down on the ground, unconscious. Li Guanyi had dealt with the two of them and looked up slightly, saying, "There’s trouble in this town. Shaking Light, set up the formation and wait here."
