Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 213 - 206: Why Is He Here Again?

Chapter 213: Chapter 206: Why Is He Here Again?

Soon, some martial artists’ friends arrived with money to bail them out.

After all, the price set by Zhang San wasn’t too high, and it was fairly easy to borrow the money.

Even some who had no friends on the outside but had made a few in the cells, with some martial artists having money, would directly pay the ransom for a few others, and then they’d all leave together.

After getting out, as long as they signed on the guarantor’s document, they were free to leave.

So, in recent times, quite a number of martial artists had been showing up near Xiongfeng Manor to pick up their friends.

Being caught by the Town Martial Office and then being released without harm was also a topic of conversation.

For a time, the figures of martial artists released from the Town Martial Office could be seen in all the major taverns within Qianlie County.

But some people, after getting out, immediately took their friends into hiding.

"What’s going on? You just got out, and you’re not celebrating properly?"

"Come over here, I have a secret to tell you, something I overheard in the Town Martial Office."

Several people had no idea, when they fetched their friends, that they would also come across unexpected gains.

"What secret?"

"I went to write you a letter that night, then I was writing in the courtyard and heard some people from the Town Martial Office talking. Actually, behind this time’s Dragon Slaying Alliance incident, there was someone stirring the pot. Do you know who the mastermind behind the scenes is?"

The few friends nearby shook their heads, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"I heard that it’s actually a governor from Chuan-Yu Road, surnamed Chen."

"I, however, heard it’s the Corpse Nether Sect, so is the Corpse Nether Sect being framed?"

"I think it’s very possible that the Corpse Nether Sect is being framed. After all, there are officials in the Town Martial Office, and those governors are also officials; they must be in cahoots."

"I also heard that the governor gave a lot of benefits to the Town Martial Office, they must be wealthy now."

Upon hearing about the money, the eyes of the several friends in the room all lit up.

A wealthy governor, and with a grudge against the Corpse Nether Sect.

No matter how you think about it, there seemed to be much room for maneuvering.

Whether it’s impersonating the Corpse Nether Sect or waiting until the Corpse Nether Sect really makes a move, fishing in troubled waters is an option.

It’s just that it’s still unclear exactly which governor it is.

However, with seventeen states in Chuan-Yu Road, checking them one by one would be easy.

For a while, a number of martial artists leaving the Town Martial Office set their sights on the four governors surnamed Chen in Chuan-Yu Road.

You ought to know, these people who were released nursed a deep hatred for the Dragon Slaying Alliance, and now thinking of going after the pusher behind the alliance for revenge, and even making a fortune in the process, they certainly wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.

Worst comes to worst, they’d just make a big score and then flee, leaving Chuan-Yu Road behind.

Although in reality, all this information was deliberately spread by Zhang San through Wang Ziteng and Big Head Wang, so that only a part of the martial artists heard it.

After all, if they all heard it, it wouldn’t be a secret anymore.

Some only heard that the mastermind wasn’t the Corpse Nether Sect; some heard about a governor surnamed Chen; some heard the mastermind was very wealthy. By the time they pieced the information together, they would just be focusing on a few governors in Chuan-Yu Road.

Zhang San knew that if those governors were clean, then the martial artists who went after them wouldn’t do anything.

For just and good officials, even martial artists would have great respect.

But if these were corrupt officials, even if they knew that these weren’t the real pushers behind the Dragon Slaying Alliance, they might still take the opportunity to act, punishing those who were wealthy but unkind.

At this moment, Zhang San was lying in his room, starting to think about what he would do next.

After a period of effort, the situation in Chuan-Yu Road had basically stabilized.

What he had to do next was only two things.

One was to enhance his own strength.

Although the cultivation at Five Emperors’ Proper Position truly presents some difficulties, the time I’ve spent at this stage has indeed slowed down compared to my previously rapid progress.

Sometimes Zhang San even wonders if Lv Chunyang really is his lucky charm.

Near the lucky charm, cultivation speed surges.

Away from the lucky charm, cultivation speed slows down.

At the same time, Zhang San also noticed that Lv Dagen, who’d been constantly on the move, finally stopped.

For the past couple of days, Lv Dagen hasn’t been moving swiftly in a certain direction for long stretches of time before suddenly changing course as if intentionally avoiding everyone.

Now that Lv Dagen had finally stopped, Zhang San could go and find him.

Zhang San, relying on his vague senses and comparing them against the map of Chuan-Yu Road, discerned that Lv Dagen should be close to Lingzhou in the south.

But the exact location was unclear to him; he would have to search carefully after arriving in Lingzhou.

So, the next morning, Zhang San exchanged much of the gold and silver he carried for cultivation resources, gathered some people, and sent them off in different directions towards Lingzhou, assigning each team some tasks along the way.

Although these tasks were in fact of no real use.

But Zhang San knew it was safer to go searching for the ledger with others rather than alone.

Yet he couldn’t let these people know his purpose, for it would not only easily startle the snake in the grass but could also allow others with ulterior motives to get there first.

So Zhang San left by himself.

Because he realized his progress in Realm cultivation was too slow.

He was still far from mastering the Power of Yin and Yang Five Elements.

So this time, Zhang San rode solo on Hei, heading straight for the Ghost Domain.

At least he could begin cultivating his Power of Yin Earth there, while concurrently enhancing his Power of Yin Wood.

Last time he entered the Ghost Domain by mistake, yet the route he took was something Zhang San remembered.

After entering this time, he did not come across Shehong Stockade, but based on his previous memory, he found Blade Guan Dam.

The enormous Blade Guan was still there.

Zhang San started cultivating near Blade Guan Dam, trying to enhance his Power of Yin Earth.

But for some reason, he felt the Earth Movement within his body condensing bit by bit, but also felt that something was slightly off.

Little did he know that just as he entered the Ghost Domain, a small ghost quickly ran off to inform Wu Tong.

Ghost King Wu Tong was looking at a book named "Book of Han."

The curious little ghost at his side watched as his King repeatedly yawned while reading.

"Ghost King, why don’t we take a nap?"

Wu Tong hastily shook his head and said, "No, I can’t. Lord Jiang told me to study this geography record, saying it will be very useful in the future. I must read it. What if he quizzes me on it later? There’s nothing much happening in the Ghost Domain to distract me anyway."

Just then, a small ghost rushed in hurriedly, running and shouting, "Disaster! Disaster has struck!"

Usually, Wu Tong would be really annoyed at such exclamations.

Most things were just trivial; what’s there to make a fuss about?

But today, hearing the small ghost’s cries, he felt his entire spirit lift with pleasure.

"What happened? What’s the matter? Speak quickly! Now I finally have a reason not to read!"

"Ghost King, the person who absorbed Blade Intent at Blade Guan Dam last time is back!"

Ghost King Wu Tong instantly felt as if he’d fallen into a deep freeze.

I’d rather be reading my book than deal with this!

Why have they come again?
