Chapter 133 - Zuo Shaotang
Teng Yu secretly transferred a group of Dark Guard s to the Hui State, and this group of Dark Guard s were the first to train in the Flame Yang Spell, so it was time to test out their results.
“Why don't we just lure the snake out of its hole?” Yin Xu and Teng Yu sat in the courtyard, basking in the sun as they ate the snacks brought over by the Prefectural Governoment.
Teng Yu fed the last piece of dessert into Yin Xu's mouth, lowered his head and licked the crumbs at the corner of his mouth.
“Hur hur, alright. Then we have to go out every day. Even if we hide at home, no one would dare to knock on the door.” Almost at the same time Teng Yu finished speaking, black objects flew in from the walls of the courtyard.
Yin Xu was not unfamiliar with this object, it was because the treasures he brought back from the Sky Piercing Pavillion were among them.
He pulled Teng Yu's hand and quickly retreated into the house, his eyes wide open as he watched the black ball explode and release a large amount of black smoke after it fell to the ground.
At the same time, ten youths dressed in Dark Guard robes appeared beside Teng Yu and Yin Xu, firmly protecting the two of them in the middle.
Teng Yu looked out the window and saw a group of masked men in grey clothes jumping in.
The smoke in the yard became denser and denser, and he could vaguely see that there were more than 20 masked people who had barged in.
“Daytime, they really dare!” Teng Yu was so infuriated that he was about to laugh. As a prince of a country, being assassinated by others was nothing much, but to be barged into his home in broad daylight was just too unsightly a view.
“Kill them, don't leave a single one alive!” Teng Yu pulled Yin Xu back, calmly instructing.
Yin Xu looked at the murderous look on his face, and his mouth curved into a smile, “What are the names of these black balls?”
“The stink bomb is said to be the new work of the most famous hidden weapon master in the martial arts world. There's a price but no market for it.”
Yin Xu thought about the box that he had brought back. It would sell for a good price as there would at least be a hundred pills.
Teng Yu obviously remembered, he hugged Li Chang Zai's shoulders and laughed: We are not selling this, it is for self-defense, as long as you attack or defend, it is very useful!
Seeing the thick smoke spreading towards the house, Teng Yu ordered his men to close the windows and sit on the chairs, listening to the sounds of fighting outside.
Yin Xu did not even put this group of people in his eyes. Back then, when Teng Yu and him were alone, they were already able to face dozens of assassins. Now that the guards were around, and the enemies had fewer people, it was not their turn to take action.
Xiao Feng sat at the restaurant's window seat, staring at the distant courtyard. Even though he couldn't see clearly, he could feel the aura from the intense battle.
“Leader, are we not going to help?” A subordinate asked.
Xiao Feng sneered, “Help what? Didn't Left Protector always claim that he is the strongest under the Sect Master? If he doesn't suffer a bit, he might not even know what he is worth.”
It had only been five days since the news had spread back to the headquarters. Ye Xiao had not expected that the man would bring his men here.
Xiao Feng's calm and handsome face revealed a little anger, he exerted force with his five fingers and the wine cup in his hand shattered into pieces.
In the courtyard filled with dense smoke, the Dark Guard s of Third Prince Mansion and the people of Sky Piercing Sect fought for a long time.
Yin Xu used his palm to blow open the door, revealing a few corpses lying on the ground. From their clothes, one could tell that they were the opponent's men.
The battle between the two parties was not that shocking, it was just that every single move contained the aura of death. Yin Xu looked at the masked man whose chest had been smashed, and could not help but admire these people's dedication.
“These are the people from the Evil Sect?” Yin Xu asked Teng Yu.
“Probably. He's so bold, yet he dares to enter the door and kill people in the day. Besides these people from the Evil Sect who don't place the secular rules in their eyes, there's no one else.”
Yin Xu nodded and began to judge each and every move of the masked men.
Compared to the people he had killed in the Sky Piercing Pavillion that day, these people's martial arts were slightly higher, but they were still lacking when compared to the killers he had met in the Shenlu Mountain that day.
If Evil Sect disciples were only at this level, then they would be too weak to withstand a single blow.
Just as the battle was nearing its end, a knocking sound came from outside the door, three times in a very polite manner. The sound was not loud, but it happened to reach Teng Yu and Yin Xu's ears.
“Guess who's coming.” Teng Yu asked, full of meaning.
“Anyway, it can't be people from the government.” Since the appearance of the masked men, the noise in the yard had not been loud enough to attract the attention of the passersby outside. Although the black smoke from the house had not lasted long, the officials might not have noticed it.
However, even if they did come, they would be sending themselves to their deaths.
Teng Yu looked at Han Qing and signaled him to open the door.
But it was obviously unnecessary, before Han Qing could even take a step, the door was pushed open from the outside.
The bolt broke into two pieces and fell onto the ground. The door creaked as it fell, causing everyone in the courtyard to stop moving.
Yin Xu walked out of the room with his hands behind his back and squinted eyes as he stared at the person who walked in. He was dressed in snow-white clothes, and wore a half golden mask on his face.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, he slowly and steadily walked in, and ignoring the corpses on the ground, he first clasped his hands at Yin Xu, “I am Zuo Shaotang, I am rude.”
“Zuo Shaotang? “I don't know him.” Yin Xu shook his head.
“It doesn't matter if Seventh Master Huo doesn't know me, I'll definitely get to know you in the future anyway.”
“That may not be so.” Yin Xu pointed to the masked men in the courtyard and asked: “Are these your men?”
The man in white smiled and nodded, “I do not have any ill intentions, but I heard that Seventh Elder Huo and the Third Prince are very skilled, so I wanted to see for myself.”
“And the result?”
“The result is obvious… I am just seeking my own humiliation. ” The man in white shrugged his shoulders helplessly as he walked closer to Yin Xu step by step.
“There's no need for you to forgive me. Remember to clean up the courtyard for me. Also, you have to compensate damaged Greenery as well so that I can see you off!” Yin Xu pointed to the door and said.
Zuo Shaotang smiled, he did not feel awkward at all, he shouted out: “Men!” Then, four big men came in with two large boxes.
Zuo Shaotang pointed to the two chests with his fan, and said, “The compensation will definitely be given, treat this as a gift for Third Prince and the Seventh Young Master.”
“If you beat me up with a stick then give me a red date. Left Protector, are you trying to tease me like I'm a child?” Teng Yu walked up from behind and stood in front of Zuo Shaotang.
The two of them looked at each other a few times, neither of them was at a disadvantage. Zuo Shaotang suddenly laughed: “How dare you? I've only heard that the two of them are very powerful martial artists, and I just wanted to see them for myself. “
Teng Yu snorted, he waved his hand and had his men open the two big chests, he was not courteous at all.
Han Qing walked up and knocked on the outside of the chest. After hearing the noise for a while, he confirmed that it was normal before opening it. The inside of the chest was glowing with a gold light.
“These are …?” Teng Yu asked in bewilderment. Wasn't this gift a little too direct?
Zuo Shaotang waved his fan, “I believe the two of you have also heard about the matter of Sky Piercing Pavillion, and the gold that was stolen from the flames.
“Oh? That means Sky Piercing Pavillion is an industry of Sky Piercing Sect? “
“I guess so.”
“Does Protector Zuo have the authority to handle so much gold?”
“Of course, this humble one is not talented, and happens to be in charge of all the treasures in the Sect. This kind of thing is still something I can afford.”
“Left Protector is so generous!” Teng Yu finally revealed a smile, but it was not a sincere smile, instead it caused people's hearts to turn cold.
Yin Xu scratched his chin and observed Zuo Shaotang for a while, then suddenly pushed Teng Yu away and walked over, patting his shoulder, “I am very interested in having a match with you, do you want to choose a auspicious day?”
Teng Yu looked at him speechlessly. Fight? Did he think it was a wedding?
However, Zuo Shaotang shook his head and rejected his offer, “Seventh Young Master is joking, I am only a accountant, how can I be a match for you?”
Yin Xu raised his eyebrows, and increased the power of his subordinates.
A gust of cold air approached Zuo Shaotang's tendons, and at first he could still smile as he faced it, but at the end, his face was pale and he had no choice but to circulate his energy to resist.
Previously, when Xiao Feng sent a message to the Head Saint and told him about the two men, saying that they were the culprits of Sky Piercing Pavillion, Zuo Shaotang did not believe it at all and thought that they were the culprits.
Therefore, he brought a group of people to probe it out. Although this method of probing was a bit too extreme, he thought very highly of himself and had sufficient conditions to negotiate with the other party.
He never thought that the young man in front of him who was as tall as his chin would actually be an expert. The intelligence report that Xiao Feng sent over probably leaked a lot of information.
The two of them stood perfectly straight, not moving an inch. Only the naked eye could see that Zuo Shaotang's forehead had started to drip with sweat, while Yin Xu's expression was extremely relaxed, without the slightest bit of change.
But Yin Xu had the upper hand, it was hard to say who would win in a true fight.
After around half an incense worth of time, Yin Xu took his hand back, and said satisfied: “Mr. Accounts, not bad, I wonder if you are interested in coming to my house to be my Accounts, Sir?”
Zuo Shaotang was startled at first, but then laughed out loud, “Is Seventh Young Master's home referring to the Marshal Huo Palace or this place?”
Yin Xu shook his head, “No, it's Third Prince Mansion.” He turned to Teng Yu and asked, “What do you think about my suggestion?”
Teng Yu pulled the person to his side, raised his hand to wipe it, and replied in a neutral tone: “Nothing, I don't like men who look too good.”
Although Zuo Shaotang was half wearing a mask, he was definitely a beautiful man, and a young one at that.
Zuo Shaotang sneered, “Third Prince doesn't have to be modest. In terms of appearance, Third Prince is even better.”
Teng Yu's face darkened, “Hmph, I don't like men with glib tongues even more.”
Zuo Shaotang threw up his hands, “This humble one's fortune is unworthy of the Third Prince's love, you don't have to be distressed.” He turned his head and said to Yin Xu: “Seventh Young Master's suggestion is very tempting, but I do not have any intentions of switching over with anyone else for the time being.”
“Is your Sky Piercing Sect that good? Can I come as a guest? ” Yin Xu asked innocently.
“…” To be guests of the Evil Sect? In thousands of years, no one had thought like that, right?
Zuo Shaotang thought for a moment, then answered honestly: “I cannot decide on this matter, but I will ask the Sect Leader on your behalf, if he agrees, then there won't be a problem.”
“Ah …” I'm afraid there's no hope. ” However, Yin Xu was indeed very interested in Evil Sect.
Ever since he had seen the Soul Assembling Formation used by the old monk in Loong'an Temple and knew that it was obtained from Evil Sect, he became somewhat interested in this mortal world's sect. Maybe he could cultivate it properly and rebuild the glory of the three great demon sects from back then?
Of course, it didn't refer to one's strength, but to one's awe-inspiring reputation.
After making up his mind to visit the Evil Sect ‘lair, Yin Xu let Zuo Shaotang go without saying anything further, and conveniently brought away a floor full of corpses and trash.
Before he left, he even left behind two large silver notes, saying that it was a compensation for damaging the courtyard, and was extremely generous with his actions.
Yin Xu was very satisfied with this, the more rich the Evil Sect, the more interested he would be in it. Once they left, he would immediately send people to secretly follow them and see if they could find their lair, although the chances of success were extremely low.
“The people from the Righteous Way of the Martial Arts have also been in a frenzy recently, surrounding and annihilating the Evil Sect. You are not just following them, there are many people with great power.
Yin Xu thought of the few people he had dismissed in the tavern and frowned, “I am most impatient with these hypocrites who vilify themselves as the righteous sects!”
In terms of scheming, these righteous people would not necessarily lose to those in the Evil Sect. It was just that the former kept the venom in their hearts, and the latter was bad on the surface.
Although in his previous life, he had exterminated many righteous sects, he had also suffered a lot from them. If he had enmity, he would live a new life, and this hatred would be avenged on some Martial Union or something.
