Chapter 76: Ch. 36 Part 1

Yanzhi was amused by his words. Xiao Ling’s innocent eyes which were with interest in the yangqi that filled the capital city.

"Do you want to see the beheading ground first?" he suddenly asked Xiao Ling after much thought. Xiao Ling turned to him hearing his words. "Can I?" he asked not holding back the excitements in his voice.

Yanzhi chuckled. "You stay here at the inn, I’ll take a walk with your mistress." He said to the disciples. They all nodded as they watched Yanzhi walked away with Xiao Ling. The crowds who were greedily staring at Yanzhi looked with disappointed when Yanzhi left. His beauty was like a terrible miasma causing the people caught up in it an incurable disease called enchantment. But the person causing the disease had no care for the people getting the disease, his only thoughts were making his wife happy and that was the only thing that mattered.

After walking for a couple of minutes, they finally got to the beheading grounds. But to their surprise the place was crowded. Sobs of mourning filled the beheading grounds, people dressed in tattered and filthy clothes crowded the beheading ground as they were filled with resentments and heavy hearts.

"Xiang gong it looks like something is going on here" Xiao Ling who was ecstatic and curious asked.

"En! It seems so." Yanzhi looked around and nodded, he took hold of Xiao Ling’s hand as he led him to find a better place to stand to get a better view. An man with gray white hair and white beard, clothed poorly and covered with dirty making his appearance unrecognizable. His hands bounded with shackles and so were his legs. He stood with a calm demeanor at were the beheading was done with men looking like well trained guards standing behind him, another middle aged man dressed in what seems to be official clothes with what looked to be an imperial verdict in hand and reading the contents aloud.

"Xiang gong looks like someone is going to be beheaded. Should we ask around what’s going on?" Xiao Ling asked.

Looking at his eyes filled with curiosity and questions Yanzhi looked to him with a smile. "Little wife can ask around" he said with a doting smile.

Xiao Ling smiled and nodded before grabbing hold of a random stranger, the lady he grab dressed in coarse clothes turned back sharply looking annoyed. Before she could speak Xiao Ling decisively passed two taels of silvers into her hand. Her angry face relaxed a whole lot seeing the silvers in hand and the expensive clothes he was dressed in "this little brother what do you want to ask?" with a hypocritic smile she asked.

"My husband and I want to ask what’s going on here" Xiao Ling said not very polite nor arrogant.

The lady turned to YanZhi whom Xiao Ling pointed at, she gasped staring at Yanzhi without blinking. Feeling her gaze on him, Yanzhi met with her gaze. She quickly looked away with a blush feeling embarrassed, she couldn’t believe her eyes seeing someone this beautiful and looking very elegant.

"Erm! erm!" she coughed to hide away her embarrassment knowing that it was someone’s husband she stared at, and the people looked to be from wealthy families which she couldn’t afford to offend them.

"It’s that today the leader of the begger’s gang is going to be beheaded. As you can see the members of the begger’s gang are the ones over there crying!" she informed with excitements pointing to the crowd with tattered clothes.

"Begger’s gang? What’s that?" Xiao Ling asked. The lady looked at him in surprise and dumbfounded.

"You don’t know the begger’s gang? They’re pretty famous around here and other places!" the lady said with more dumbfounded look seeing that Xiao Ling still didn’t know.

"If i remember correctly they should be called ’The Begger’s Sect’ " they both turned to look at Yanzhi as he said breaking into their conversation.

"Xiang gong you know them?" Xiao Ling asked.

"I have heard about them, and years ago i commissioned one of their members for informations. They’re best knowledgeable in that aspect, getting informations and so on" Yanzhi nodded explaining to him.

The lady slap her thigh excitedly. "Yes! Yes! That’s them! Young Master really knows about them" she chirped.

"But i heard they don’t get involved in matters involving official matters. Since the emperor doesn’t involve the Jianghu world in officialdom, unless the people from the Jianghu world commits an unforgivable crime." Yanzhi thoughtfully said.

"This young master you’re quite informed, perhaps are you also part of the Jianghu world?" she asked with curiosity, but both Yanzhi had no intentions of satisfying her curiosity.

Seeing that they ignored her question she went in to say "well it looks like you’re both not from here so you wouldn’t know.." she paused and looked around nervously, she moved closer to Xiao Ling’s ears and started whispering. "I don’t know about the details but i heard that the 5th prince has taken over the begger’s gang recently. Things haven’t been peaceful here lately. We the poor families wouldn’t know much unless the official families and wealthy well known families." Yanzhi frowned upon her words. He could clearly hear everything she whispered to Xiao Ling. After getting information of what was going on they thanked the lady and left her side, she looked regretfully ogling at Yanzhi.

"Xiang gong.."

"How long will it take for you to extract the death qi if i assist you with my qi?"

They both spoke at the same time. "What?" Xiao Ling was confused by his words. "Ahhh, about ten minutes" He answered when Yanzhi’s question finally registered in his mind. He released his qi and felt the death qi in the surrounding, with his qi capacity now it would take him hours to be able to extract just half of the death qi in the surrounding and he would be drained out after. But with Yanzhi’s support he was sure to extract all the death qi in minutes effortlessly.

Yanzhi placed his hand on his shoulder after hearing his answer, Xiao Ling didn’t know why Yanzhi would choose to support him or what Yanzhi had in mind but all the same he trusted Yanzhi with his back. "Start absorbing as soon as I start sending my qi into your dantian" Yanzhi instructed. Xiao Ling nodded and waited, as soon as he felt the familiar sharp qi passed through his meridians and into his dantian he began to absorb the death qi.

[Ding! Ding! Ding!

Yu have absorb 1 death qi from the dead.

You have absorb 5 death qi from the dead.

You have absorb 18 death qi from the dead.

You have absorb 100 death qi from the dead.

You have absorb 1000 death qi from the dead.

You have absorb 3000 death qi from the dead.

....]

[Ding! Ding! Ding!

Your death capacity has expanded.

Currently possessing 1000000 /1000000 death qi.]

With the help of Yanzhi’s powerful and abundant qi, it took Xiao Ling less than the ten minutes to absorb all the death qi in the vicinity without even breaking a sweat.

"Xiang gong I’m done!" he announced in an overly excited voice. Yanzhi nod and brought his hand around his waist. Xiao Ling was startled for a moment.

"Hold on to me tight!" he heard Yanzhi instructed. Xiao Ling hugged Yanzhi’s neck as a blush creeped under his eyes.

In a blink of an eye they appeared at a valley with an extra person. Xiao Ling had a confused look. He didn’t even know what happened or how it was that they moved, he only felt the space disorted and now they were standing in a valley with the captive who was to be beheaded. The middle aged captive bounded in chains was squatting and puking his guts out. Seeing the man puking it made his stomach churned wanting to puke too, like the captive he was also affected by what he didn’t even know how to put. Whether a teleportation or space jumping, Xiao Ling was stunned and confused. It made him slightly dizzy and his stomach churned.

"Xiang gong, him?!" Xiao Ling looking alarmed and pointing to the man busily puking, he didn’t get why Yanzhi would get them involved in other’s business and even risk stealing a captive from the empire. And speaking honestly the aura excluding from the man shows how strong the man was, the man could free himself and escape anytime he wanted but he didn’t, didn’t that mean something else.

Yanzhi seeing the alarming look of Xiao Ling decided to explain himself. "I owe one of their members some favors, it was a promise from me who is a god to a mortal that i will help him thrice is a dire situation. I remember he talked with admirations and respect for their leader. So helping that one there is equally to repaying one favor." Yanzhi stated.

"Oh" was all Xiao Ling muttered in understanding. Yanzhi’s words were enough for him to understand the situation. "And anyways you don’t need to worry since everyone will think he was beheaded and witnessed it themselves." Yanzhi added.

"Illusions?" Xiao Ling asked.

"Something like that. There’s no one capable enough to see through, that is Only if that person is stronger than me. And this realm such person doesn’t exist, there’s even no one on par with you little wife." Yanzhi said in bold words, Xiao Ling nodded in understanding. Since it was this way then there was nothing to worry about at all. Just like Yanzhi said, there was no one on par with them.

"Two immortal masters, little one thanks you for your help"

Both Yanzhi and Xiao Ling looked over when a voice broke into their conversation. The middle aged man in a kowtowing state said modestly. He didn’t need any explanation to get the gist of what was going on, and both Yanzhi and Xiao Ling weren’t hiding they’re conversations so he heard them very clearly. The reason he addressed both Yanzhi and Xiao Ling as immortal masters was because he witnessed Yanzhi’s skills of taking him from the beheading grounds in seconds without anyone’s notice. And judging from their demeanor and manner of speaking everything was as clear as the day. He himself being a martial arts master could rescue himself but wouldn’t even be able to match how Yanzhi rescued him effortlessly.

Xiao Ling wiggled his nose looking at the man in kowtowing state and frowned.

"Eeeew you stink!!!" he cried out and went behind Yanzhi covering his nose. The man raised his head up shocked and flabbergasted, he could see the disgust in Xiao Ling’s eyes peeking at him. Yanzhi was stunned at first but snorted and chuckled in amusements.
