Cultivating for Immorality: I Evolved Martial Arts into the Immortal Path – Chapter 147

Chapter 147: This Hatred is Irreconcilable!

Double Standards!

Qi Cang’s words directly pointed out the core of tonight’s events.

The so-called rules of the county town had always only applied to ordinary people.

For the martial artists of the various major factions, there was another set of rules in the county town, and the intensity of the enforcement of these rules depended on the strength of the major factions.

“Alliance Leader Qi Cang, perhaps this matter still needs to be discussed.” Yang Wenyuang insisted, “After all, Chu Liang killed someone in the street. This matter has too much of a negative impact, and it’s bad for the reputation of our Anping County Town, therefore…”

“Enough!”

Qi Cang shouted coldly, interrupting him again.

He was too lazy to waste words and said directly, “Yang Wenyuang, if you want to fight, I’m ready anytime!”

“Alliance Leader Qi Cang, that’s not what I meant.” Yang Wenyuang said with a frown.

“Alright then, let me ask you, haven’t these people from the Green Robe Gang killed people in the street many times before?”

“This…”

“If you can’t answer, then take them and get back to the county government office!” At this point, Qi Cang’s tone was already quite unfriendly, as if he would start a fight at any moment.

Seeing him being so impolite, Yang Wenyuang’s expression turned ugly.

He was, after all, a Skin Tempering Realm expert, and he had his own pride.

“In that case…”

He took a deep breath and slowly tightened his grip on the blood-colored long sword in his hand. His white hair fluttered, and his aura steadily rose.

Seeing this, the many martial artists around, whether they were from the Green Robe Gang or from other factions who had come to watch the excitement, all changed their expressions and began to retreat.

“Retreat! Quickly retreat!”

“The experts of the Skin Tempering Realm are about to fight, quickly get back!”

In front of the martial arts hall, two terrifying auras confronted each other.

Martial Alliance Leader Qi Cang, and Blood Sword Scholar Yang Wenyuang, both of whom were well-known experts.

Qi Cang wanted to protect Chu Liang, and Yang Wenyuang’s pride wouldn’t allow him to retreat. In that case, they could only let their skills do the talking!

Just as a great battle between Skin Tempering Realm experts was about to break out, a gentle voice suddenly appeared.

“Gentlemen, why must it come to this?”

Qin Family Head Qin Yuandao finally showed himself!

He was dressed in a long gown, with a jade-like face and a warm smile, and he walked over unhurriedly.

“The demon extermination battle is imminent, the two of you must not harm the harmony between us.” Qin Yuandao said, trying to mediate. He walked into the tense atmosphere between the two and stood between them.

“Family Head Qin, are you also trying to protect Chu Liang?” Yang Wenyuang was also too lazy to waste words and directly asked Qin Yuandao about his intentions.

“Chu Liang is a guest of my Qin Family.” Qin Yuandao nodded slightly, not directly answering his question, but his attitude was already very clear.

Although he stood between the two, he faced Yang Wenyuang, leaving his back to Qi Cang.

Among such important figures, this seemingly insignificant posture was enough to explain many things.

“Family Head Qin, does the Qin Family insist on getting involved in today’s matter?” Yang Wenyuang asked coldly, holding his blood sword.

“Head Clerk Yang, the county town belongs to the county government, but also to everyone. The Qin Family is just one part of it.” Qin Yuandao still had a smile on his face, gentle and elegant, like a refined scholar.

“Good! Good! Good!”

Yang Wenyuang’s expression completely darkened, and he said three “good” in a row.

“As expected of the Qin Family Head who kills without drawing blood!”

How could he not understand? Qin Yuandao was trying to create enemies for the county government.

Anyone around could easily understand ━ that’s right, the county town belongs to everyone here, not just the county government. Why should the Green Robe Gang be allowed to do whatever they want and bully other factions?

If Qin Yuandao were to add a few more words of incitement, it might cause the other factions to unite and put pressure on the county government, forcing them to disband the Green Robe Gang!

At that time, this matter would be far more complicated than it was now.

He was afraid that it would escalate to the prefectural city and attract the attention of officials from the prefectural city!

At this moment, another voice rang out.

“Family Head Qin is right. The county town is our home, and we cannot allow certain villains to pollute it.”

In the darkness, a black-robed man wearing a black mask slowly walked out.

Black Market Master!

The last Skin Tempering Realm expert in the county town had finally arrived.

“Master Market Master.”

The people around quickly stepped back, their faces filled with awe, making way for the Black Market Master.

◈◈◈

He strode into the passage, came to the front of the Autumn Blade Martial Arts Hall, also turned around, leaving his back to Qi Cang and facing Yang Wenyuang.

His attitude was clear, he also wanted to protect Chu Liang!

If Yang Wenyuang wanted to make a move, he would have to face the three of them.

Could he fight against three opponents alone?

“Hoo…”

The night wind howled, the flames flickered, and the pungent smell of kerosene spread through the night. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was filled with a murderous aura!

Seeing this scene in front of the Autumn Blade Martial Arts Hall, every martial artist around was filled with shock.

Before this, they were all wondering which of the remaining three Skin Tempering Realm experts would step in to protect Chu Liang.

But they never expected that all three would come!

What would Yang Wenyuang do?

Fight?

Or retreat?

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Yang Wenyuang’s expression changed several times.

After a long while, he finally made his choice.

The hand holding the blood sword finally loosened, his aura slowly subsided, and he said to the three in front of him, “Since… since the three of you are protecting Chu Liang, then let this matter rest. But I have one question.”

“Head Clerk Yang, please speak.” Qin Yuandao smiled slightly.

“Did the three of you plan this together, or was it a spur-of-the-moment decision?”

“We did not plan this together.”

“Alright then…”

Yang Wenyuang sheathed his blood sword, said no more, and turned to leave.

With Qin Yuandao’s character, he wouldn’t lie about something like this.

In other words, these three factions really did want to protect Chu Liang, and it wasn’t due to some kind of exchange of interests.

No matter how strong he was, he couldn’t possibly fight against three opponents.

Retreating was the only option.

With his retreat, the tense atmosphere instantly dissipated, and many people around breathed a sigh of relief.

“Fortunately, they didn’t fight.”

“Those three big shots are all protecting Chu Liang. The Green Robe Gang is in trouble now.”

“This is great, I love seeing those bastards from the Green Robe Gang suffer!”

Everyone’s eyes fell on the members of the Green Robe Gang, their faces filled with schadenfreude.

Without the support of a Skin Tempering Realm expert, what could the Green Robe Gang do?

In front, Xu Long’s face was ashen. He gripped the reins tightly, his eyes staring at Chu Liang as if they were about to spit fire, his body filled with a boiling killing intent. But he didn’t dare to rush forward.

With his own strength, he couldn’t even get past Li Ren, let alone three Skin Tempering Realm experts.

“Chu Liang!”

Endless anger and frustration turned into a roar!

Xu Long had no choice. After roaring, he could only lead the members of the Green Robe Gang away on their horses.

The more imposing they were when they arrived, the more pathetic they were when they left. Like a pack of stray dogs, they slunk away under everyone’s gaze, completely losing their former arrogance.

Only after returning to the Green Robe Gang headquarters did Xu Long dare to shout again, venting his frustration.

“Chu Liang! The murder of my son is an irreconcilable hatred! I don’t believe you can hide under the protection of others forever!”

His voice was hoarse, his face ferocious, like a mad, ferocious wolf.

“Keep an eye on him!”

Xu Long’s eyes were bloodshot, and he growled, “Chu Liang, we will meet again soon, and the day we meet again will be your death!”

◈◈◈

In front of the Autumn Blade Martial Arts Hall.

Perhaps sensing something, Chu Liang looked up at the sky.

The night was dark, the clouds obscured the moon, and a cold wind blew. It seemed like it was going to rain.

A rainy night is very suitable for killing.
