Cultivating for Immorality: I Evolved Martial Arts into the Immortal Path – Chapter 134

Chapter 134: Gathering of Various Factions, Wenhai Marquis’s Manor!

The Green Robe Gang was the number one gang in the county town, and with the backing of the county government, they always acted without restraint.

This gang had offended many people, and they also had a grudge with Chu Liang.

Chu Liang had killed their Nineteenth Wife, and the Green Robe Gang was suspicious of him. They had questioned him twice, and the second time was quite a show of force, directly blocking the entrance of the martial arts hall. However, they were ultimately forced back by Hall Master Li Ren.

Later on, as Chu Liang’s reputation grew, especially after gaining the favor of the Martial Alliance Leader and the Black Market Master, the Green Robe Gang no longer dared to provoke him.

But now, Chu Liang had his eyes on the Green Robe Gang.

“I wonder where that Xu Long would hide the token.”

Chu Liang pondered silently.

This matter couldn’t be rushed and had to be handled carefully.

He had already sent out both of the little rats.

They were fully utilizing their treasure-hunting talent, searching diligently. They had searched the entire headquarters of the Green Robe Gang, even discovering various secret rooms and hidden passages.

But by noon the next day, they still hadn’t found the token.

“Master, we’ve searched Xu Long’s residence and the residences of his dozens of concubines, but we still haven’t found it.”

“We also searched his manor outside the city, but it wasn’t there either.”

The two little rats returned empty-handed.

They had found almost everything except the token.

For example, they found the secret room where the Green Robe Gang hid their gold, silver, and treasures, which was located in a manor outside the city.

But Chu Liang wasn’t interested in those mundane riches. He only wanted to know the whereabouts of the token.

He instructed the two little rats, “Keep a close eye on Xu Long these next few days. Pay attention to his words, actions, and daily routines.”

“Master, are you planning to make a move?” Rat One asked.

“Yes.”

Chu Liang nodded. Since they couldn’t find it, he would have to force it out of him.

He needed to wait for the right opportunity.

Once the time was right, he would immediately capture Xu Long and force him to reveal the token’s location.

Time passed quickly, and two more days went by in a flash.

During these days, the county town became even more lively. The atmosphere of the New Year began to thicken. Every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and red lanterns hung from the eaves of houses throughout the county town.

Ordinary people were preparing for the New Year, while the numerous martial artists were discussing the matter of entering the mountains to exterminate the demons.

Tonight, on the mountain behind the Martial Alliance, the Lantern Festival Banquet would be held as scheduled.

At that time, everyone would discuss this matter with the experts from the prefectural city.

Experts from the prefectural city arrived one after another.

Early this morning, seven experts from the Prefectural City Martial Alliance rode into the city on horseback. Their black clothes fluttered in the wind, and their aura was imposing. The sound of hooves was rapid, like a gust of wind blowing through the North City Gate. After entering the city, their speed did not decrease. They galloped through the streets of the county town, startling the chickens and dogs on both sides of the road.

“Who are they? How dare they gallop through the city in broad daylight?” Someone voiced their displeasure.

“Keep your voice down. Do you want to die? Look at their clothes. They are from the Prefectural City Martial Alliance!” Someone immediately reminded him.

“What? From Wenhai Prefectural City?”

“How are their horses so fast? They look different from ordinary horses.”

“Those are demon beasts! They are actually seven tamed horse demons!”

“Hiss… Demon beasts?”

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked.

What a grand display!

Traveling on demon beasts!

How many ordinary martial artists could tame demon beasts as mounts?

Even martial artists with Five Strands of Qi and Blood would find it difficult. Demon beasts were always violent and cruel, and they would never obey the words of humans.

“Could it be that those seven people are all Skin Tempering Realm experts?”

◈◈◈

At this thought, everyone was terrified.

There were only four Skin Tempering Realm experts in the entire county town.

As expected of Wenhai Prefecture, where experts were as common as clouds. Seven of them came at once!

Gazing at the departing seven people, their hearts surged, unable to calm down for a long time.

However, the shock of this day had only just begun.

At noon, a grand and luxurious carriage rolled along the official road and sped towards the city. Pulling the carriage were not horses, but two majestic and powerful black tiger demons!

“Roar–!”

The tiger demons roared, their expressions fierce, their mouths full of a foul stench. The soldiers guarding the city gate were so frightened that they trembled and didn’t dare to step forward to question them. They allowed the carriage to enter the county town.

The martial artists in the city were equally shocked. Seeing the ferocious appearance of the tiger demons, their scalps went numb.

Many ordinary people screamed in terror, their faces pale with fear as they scattered and fled.

“Demons have entered the city! Demons have entered the city!”

“Run!”

In an instant, the entire North City was thrown into chaos. Screams, cries, and howls filled the air.

Even though the martial artists in the county town tried to calm the situation, it didn’t stabilize. Instead, it became even more chaotic, and some people were even trampled to death.

There were wails everywhere, it was extremely tragic!

Inside the carriage, a cold voice sounded, “The people in this small place are really ignorant. They’re scared by just two tiger demons. No wonder they need to ask the prefectural city for help with such trivial matters.”

Immediately afterward, a soft and charming voice said, “Young Master, they are just a few lowly commoners who were scared to death. Don’t let such a small matter bother you.”

“Yes, let’s go. Let’s go to the local Martial Alliance and take a look.”

The carriage continued at the same speed, rolling through the chaos and disappearing into the distance.

The martial artists in the county town were both shocked and angry, but none of them dared to speak up to stop them. They could only watch as the carriage departed.

It took a long time for the chaos in North City to gradually subside.

After that, half an hour later, a loud eagle cry sounded outside the North City Gate.

“Screech!”

A golden eagle streaked across the sky, its body shimmering with golden light, dazzling and brilliant, as if it were made of gold. Finally, it folded its wings and landed steadily on a dark golden carriage.

Another faction from the prefectural city had arrived!

The carriage was tall and large. Pulling it were not ordinary horses, but four extraordinary seven-colored deer!

Behind the carriage followed fifty black-armored cavalrymen. They were all powerful, riding demon beasts, their eyes cold, and carrying an aura of slaughter, as if they were born warriors!

Someone in the county town exclaimed, “The Black Armored Cavalry of Wenhai Marquis’s Manor! Every cavalryman is a martial artist, their mounts are demon beasts, and their black armor is a ranked treasure. They are the most terrifying force in the entire Wenhai Prefecture!”

“What? Even Wenhai Marquis’s Manor has sent people?”

“Could it be that the Marquis is in the carriage?”

“How is that possible? The Marquis is busy with important matters every day. How could he have the time to deal with the affairs of our small place?”

“……”

Looking at the imposing Black Armored Cavalry, everyone was deeply shocked.

Martial artists were considered overlords in small villages, and even in the county town, they were addressed as “Master.”

But the Black Armored Cavalry of Wenhai Marquis’s Manor, an entire cavalry unit, was actually composed of martial artists, and there were far more than just these fifty!

What a terrifying force!

“Greetings, Marquis!”

At the city gate, the guards put down their weapons and knelt down one after another.

Their expressions were extremely humble, not daring to raise their heads. Their bodies were almost prostrate on the ground.

Even though the Marquis himself was not present, the arrival of his carriage alone was enough to make people tremble with awe.

The huge wheels rolled over the bluestone road. The carriage was imposing, like an ancient beast, slowly entering the county town. Although no sound came from within, the invisible pressure was strong enough to suffocate people.
