Return of the King, Dominating the City
Chapter 94 - 94 93 Heaven Sect Disciple

94: Chapter 93 Heaven Sect Disciple 94: Chapter 93 Heaven Sect Disciple “According to your meaning, the people from the Upper Three Sects have left the organization, the Middle Three Gates’ strength has greatly diminished to the point of only self-preservation, and only one gate is left from the Lower Three Sects?

I’m very curious about what the remaining gate does.” Song Yun asked curiously.

“The remaining gate is something you would never expect.

They were originally actors, yet during the Sui and Tang Dynasty, our ancestors began selling human skin drums to Tubo, and gradually they transformed into Disguise Masters.

Anyone disguised by them is unnoticeable, free of any flaws.

It is said that within their sect, there is a secret manual that exclusively discusses these matters.

Moreover, their disguise techniques surpass even today’s high technology and are not like other human skin masks that tear easily.” the old man said.

“Hmm, I think I understand the bitter history of your Old Nine Gates.

It seems you have also been living on tenterhooks these past few years,” Song Yun said with a smile.

“Well, with that said, you can kill or flay me if you wish, but I ask you one thing to spare my disciples, for they are innocent,” the old man pleaded pitifully, looking at Song Yun, fearing that any dissatisfaction might lead him to massacre the sect.

It wasn’t merely the old man’s worry but a common occurrence in the Martial World, too frequent to count.

Throughout history, how many reckless sects swelled with ambition, challenging the state machinery, only to end up pushed to the execution ground, blood reaching the skies, while the resources accumulated by their ancestors ended up in the hands of others, leaving them as lonely spirits and wild ghosts.

“What if I say I could spare you?” Song Yun said leisurely, sipping his tea.

“Spare us?

Please don’t joke with this old man.

Even though the Old Nine Gates no longer glory as in the past and have become deplorable, they are not subject to others’ manipulation,” the old man, seeming to read Song Yun’s thoughts, said bluntly, asserting that even if fallen into misfortune, he wouldn’t become someone else’s domesticated guard dog.

“Don’t put it so harshly.

Do you know how many years the predecessors of the thief sect struggled for this foundation?

With just one word, you have pushed the entire thief sect into an abyss.

If you were to go to Yellow Springs after your death, would you have the face to meet them?” Song Yun laughed.

“The little old man doesn’t understand much, only that he doesn’t want the thief sect to become someone else’s vassal.

Even when the Upper Three Sects offered great conditions for us to follow them, I did not agree.

It’s not just about the heritage of the thief sect, but also about one’s integrity,” the old man said solemnly.

Listening to this, Song Yun was simply dumbfounded, a chief of thieves talking about integrity?

If you had integrity, why engage in such a baseless trade, you’d have retired long ago.

“But I need your strength as my trump card, you see.

You probably don’t know, but I am rather petty.

If I can’t have something, I definitely won’t let others have it.

I’d rather watch this beautiful thing become wretched than let my enemies use it to harm me,” Song Yun said with a frown, threatening.

“Here, the little old man can swear to heaven that as long as Yun Gu stays in this world for one more day, it will absolutely not do anything that harms you,” the old man said.

“Don’t talk about such useless things.

I’m the type who is least likely to believe in swearing, especially in this modern society.

Is swearing useful?

Today I swear to heaven, tomorrow I swear to heaven, the day after tomorrow I’ll bloody swear to heaven again, then behind people’s backs, you don’t know how many knives they’ve stabbed.

Most importantly, heaven doesn’t work.

You keep saying thunder will strike you, but nowadays every household has a lightning rod.

Even if the heavens really wanted to strike you with thunder, it wouldn’t hit your head,” Song Yun said somewhat frustratedly.

“So, what would you like the little old man to do?

As long as it doesn’t betray our ancestors, I can do anything,” the old man said through gritted teeth.

“I want you to align with me, don’t rush to make a statement though.

You should know that this one statement might lead the entire high level of the thief sect to follow you to Yellow Springs,” Song Yun said, raising an eyebrow.

At that moment, voices of several people came from outside the door, and the old man, perking up his ears, knew today’s conversation was no longer possible.

The leaders of the other three gates had arrived, and they didn’t know Song Yun’s identity.

If they antagonized him…

the consequences were unimaginable.

“Yo, little sister, are you three feeling lonely here?

Want to go out and play with brother?” said a young man flippantly, following behind the three elderly men.

Qingluan, seeing Song Yun coming out of the private room, ignored the young man.

After all, she needed to act like a lady in front of Song Yun to win his favor.

Seeing Qingluan’s icy non-response, the young man turned and flirted with Li Shishi, “Little sister, want to go with brother?

I’ll take you to see the goldfish.”

“Stay away from me, looking at you annoys me.”

“Yo, they are all paragons of chastity and virtue huh.

But seriously, I like this type.

Conquering them feels different, though…

many such virtuous women have begged me in my hands,” the young man chuckled wickedly.

Song Yun looked coldly at the young man and said, “Qingluan, go ahead.

Unless some people learn their lesson, they wouldn’t know what they are eating.”

Following that, Qingluan immediately stood up, her innate aggressive genes activating, no longer caring about being ladylike, deciding to hit first before anything else.

Grabbing the teapot from Xiao Qing’s hand, she smashed it onto the young man’s head.

The young man, shocked, looked at Qingluan, then dumbfoundedly touched the blood on his head and collapsed to the ground with an ‘ow.’

Not knowing which of the three gates’ leader shouted angrily, “You little wench dared to hurt my grandson.

I want you to beg for death and not be able to die!”

Just as the old man was about to explode in anger, Yun Gu stepped forward, shouting, “Stop!

Xie Laogou, do you really want to push our remaining four gates into the fire pit?”

The old man surnamed Xie turned and glared at Yun Gu, saying, “Old Dog Yun, you see clearly.

This woman started it by hitting my grandson first.

Have you gotten used to tranquil days in the past years, seeing some powerful people and wanting to kneel and lick them?

Let me tell you, my Heaven Sect is not afraid.”

“Yo, such big talk.

Whose descendant are you?” Song Yun said disdainfully.

“Don’t mind him; he’s just a vulgar man.

His ancestor was Heavenly Official Faqiu, considered a major faction in the tomb-robbing circles,” Yun Gu said in a low and servile voice.

“I spit on your face with saliva!

You, Old Dog Yun, even let out my background to this pretty face.

You’re really turning your elbow outwards, huh?

Humph, if you don’t give me an explanation today, I absolutely won’t let this go,” Xie Laogou said fiercely.
