As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

Chapter 94 - 94 Dao Master-Level Technique

94 Dao Master-Level Technique

The disturbance caused by the immortal encounter had completely dissipated. Life in Peace County was as peaceful as ever, except for a few men who rushed into the mountains and never came back.

Jiang Ming’s life was also fulfilling. Every day, he practiced martial arts, drank wine, and then went to the city for some entertainment. He lived a relaxed and happy life.

However, even if the immortal was suspected to be dead, Jiang Ming did not intend to go to the forbidden zone to explore anything. Who knew what other it held? At least, he had to wait until he became a Grandmaster before he went to explore that zone.

According to Yu Yan’s report, the immortal’s body had shattered completely after using a power that surpassed a Grandmaster’s. It seemed that there was some strange rule in this world that forbade the existence of beings above the Grandmaster level.

Only after becoming a Grandmaster would he have the capital to explore all the secret places.

“I just didn’t expect that I would actually transmigrate to such a strange place.” Jiang Ming shook his head and was a little baffled.

However, this seemed to be a good idea. All the martial artists in the world could only train to the Grandmaster level. If he reached the peak of the Grandmaster level, would he be able to explore a higher realm at the mere risk of his body exploding?

“If that’s the case, then wouldn’t I be invincible?” Jiang Ming muttered internally and slowly walked into the bar.

“As expected of a marquis. His methods are shocking. He actually used the immortal encounter to attract the six great aristocratic families and almost caught them all in one fell swoop!” a rough-looking man was standing on a stool with one foot as he spoke loudly.

“These aristocratic families have been rooted in the country of Yan for hundreds of years. They have plundered the people’s wealth and done all kinds of bad things. Now, a few of them are finally going to fall.”

“Where did you hear this rumor from? Marquis Zhou is hunting down the remnants of the Green Mountain Army in North Peace City. What does the immortal encounter have to do with him?”

In the bar, a few customers were gathered together and talking loudly.

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and sat down at a table. He drank his wine silently.

The disturbance caused by the immortal encounter had dissipated, but it was still a topic of conversation for many people.

“Impossible. The six aristocratic families aren’t fools. How could they be so easily deceived?” One of them shook his head, not believing the rumor.

“Hmph, that depends on how you deceive them. It’s said that the emperor has been obsessed with becoming immortal long time, and he changed Peace Town into Peace County in order to seek immortality in the mountains. Before this storm, some people even saw a few Grandmasters as mere guards arriving at Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest from the capital, and they all thought that the emperor had come in person. But until now, has anyone seen the emperor in the mountains? No! Everyone was tricked by the emperor in order to cooperate with Marquis Zhou. The two of them made a shocking plan, preparing to overthrow these high and mighty aristocratic families in one fell swoop.”

“Without the aristocratic families, the country of Yan is finished. Don’t talk nonsense. If you like making stories so much, why don’t you write a book!” One of them immediately glared at him. He did not believe this fellow’s nonsense.

The bar suddenly burst into laughter, and the rough man’s face also turned red. There were several possibilities for the truth.

Jiang Ming was spinning his wine glass. A moment later, he smiled. Sometimes, the truth of the matter was the most ridiculous.

The country of Yan had long been hopeless. Perhaps the emperor was not as lascivious and tyrannical as the rumors said, but he wanted to save the country but was unable to do so.

Perhaps the emperor wanted to personally send the country of Yan to its end. At the same time, he wanted to take the aristocratic families down with him.

“Is that really the case?” Jiang Ming shook his head. He did not know, but it did not matter.

He finished the wine in his glass, got up, and left in the direction of Great Cloud City.

In the Wang manor in Great Cloud City, Jiang Ming disguised himself as an ordinary-looking burly man and sat in the tea house opposite the manor, looking at the ancient and magnificent building leisurely.

The Wang family was the oldest first-class martial artist force in Great Cloud City. Even though there were rumors in recent years that the master of the Wang family was old and weak, no one dared provoke them. No one knew what kind of trump card this family had.

However, the Wang family was not having a good time these days.

It was because, at some point in time, there had been rumors that the Wang family’s master had died in the search for the immortal encounter. Now, there were no first-class martial artists in the Wang family, and they were unarmed.

At first, no one believed it, but as time passed, the master of the Wang family never showed himself, and gradually, rumors began to spread. Even so, the master of the Wang family still did not show himself.

Although the Wang family had always denied these rumors, claiming that the family head was in seclusion to become a Dao Master, fewer and fewer people believed it.

“It seems that the Wang family’s master is really gone.”

The news spread like a hurricane throughout Great Cloud City.

In the beginning, the Wang family’s shops were vandalized. Later, there was even a second-class martial artist who broke into the Wang family’s residence at night. Although he was chased out, he escaped alive and was not attacked by the first-class martial artists.

“The Wang family’s destruction will happen in the next few days.” Jiang Ming’s eyes were calm.

Although the Wang family was not as despised as the Shi family, any aristocratic family that could reach this stage would not be innocent. They definitely had several enemies.

It was rumored that the master of the Wang family had once spent a lot of money to buy a Dao Master-level technique, but he had been stuck at the peak of the first class for a long time and had not been able to break through.

Another two days passed.

Late at night, the Wang family’s gate was suddenly smashed open, and a few masked men rushed in. Whenever they encountered any Wang family’s guards blocking them, they would kill them with a single punch and continue to rush in.

Screams rang out from the Wang manor. One figure after another rushed into the Wang manor and began to plunder the property.

“Where are the soldiers? Quickly call the soldiers. Didn’t they say that they would send first-class martial artists to protect us?” a man with a white beard shouted in a frenzy.

A long blade was plunged into his chest, coming out from the other side. The old man suddenly stopped breathing and fell into a pool of blood with an unwilling face.

The murderer casually touched the corpse and found two taels of silver. He grinned and continued to rush in.

A moment later, an ordinary-looking man stepped over the old man’s body and shook his head.

“Soldiers, huh? They’re only your friends when you don’t need them.”
