Chapter 275
After walking into the village, Jiang Xiu saw that several people were gathered there and the road was blocked up by many off-road vehicles. When he tried to enter in, those people blocked this path. "Who are you? Why did you come to my Mu village?"
Jiang Xiu said, "Tell Mu Jianping that a guest has arrived from the Imperial Capital."
Wang Xintong didn't care much about the help Mu Jianping had asked her for due to the Ji family oppressing the four families of Huabei as she thought it was just a small matter. She had mentioned it this time to Jiang Xiu as he was planning to go save Xie Ting and could help them in passing.
That man said, "From the Imperial Capital? Brat, there's nothing for you to do there. Return."
Lin Mi laughed while covering her mouth as if she was watching Jiang Xiu act like a fool. The other party wasn't even acknowledging him and telling him to piss off from wherever he came from.
"Quickly go report it else you won't be able to take responsibility for it."
These lackeys were indeed more difficult to deal with.
That man laughed heartily, "From your tone, it seems like you're here to settle the issue about the Ji family? There's no need for you to do that as you won't be of any help. My West Sichuan's Sword Palace's Young Sword Master has is here to deal with it. Do you think we need your help?"
Lin Mi's expression warped immediately, "West Sichuan's Sword Palace? Si Wuxie's branch?"
"Yeah!" That man said loftily.
This person wasn't a disciple of the Mu family, so it was no wonder that he was acting so rampant here. Legend was it that Si Wuxie had survived an atom bomb during WW2. It seemed like the Mu family had gone to ask their help as well.
After making many fruitless trips to the capital, Mu Jianping had helplessly gone to West Sichuan, but he wasn't expecting them to send people and that the Young Sword Master would come personally.
"You should know what to do. Get out from here!"
"And if I don't leave?"
Lin Mi's expression changed immediately. Brat, you're too stubborn, making enemies of whoever you see. Your actions were really impractical in Dongzhou as well back then. And now, look, you're going against someone from the West Sichuan Sword Palace. Do you even know who's behind them? That's Si Wuxie, a legend of China.
She reached out to pull his shirt, "Don't create trouble here. Let's leave. The West Sichuan Sword Palace isn't someone you can afford to offend. You'll lose your life in vain."
"Just useless trash, that's all." Jiang Xiu replied.
"Hah! You really have guts, mate. Do you want to oppose my West Sichuan Sword Palace?" That man's face turned cold. He appeared to be 30 years old and didn't have a tall stature, but his body was well developed. His formed a finger sword with his palm and thrust it towards Jiang Xiu.
Lin Mi exclaimed in her heart. This kid really has no limit to courting disaster. He's a brainless wild man who offends anyone he wishes. If he returns to the Lin family with Aunt Ling, he'd undoubtedly provoke a huge enemy for the Lin family.
Only, she couldn't do anything about this situation. On the contrary, she planned to see how far Jiang Xiu's strength had reached as that small region like Dongzhou hadn't revealed his strength at all.
Bang!
Jiang Xiu stood in his original place and countered with a slap. A phantom-like hand slithered towards that man and gave a hard slap to his face.
"You're courting death!"
Jiang Xiu had already become a God, so the power behind his slap held an astonishing force. It was just like a thunderclap which boomed over the world. That man was sent flying back. He knocked into the car's window, causing the glass to shatter, then fell to the ground.
One move! One second!
Lin Mi's jaw almost dropped to the ground. Fudge!The Si family's disciples are so useless?
"Scoundrel, you dare to hit Young Master Jing?"
"You're courting death. Do you know who Young Master Jing is?"
A group of them stood behind him. They were all handsome men as well as beautiful women, and all of them had bodyguards with them. They dashed over in anger when they saw Young Master Jing get beat up.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Jiang Xiu stepped forward and gave a slap to whoever came into his view. Each one of them fell to the ground with a broken leg or hand, howling in grief.
They finally realized that Jiang Xiu wasn't someone to be trifled with.
"Sir… Sir…"
People from the Mu family came running forward. One of them asked, "Everyone is here to help, so there's no need to injure each other because of an argument."
Since the Mu family had already found someone else, he also didn't want to go in to create trouble, so he asked that man, "Do you know the way to the Ji family?"
That person was shocked, "You want to go to the Ji family?"
"I came here for the Ji family. I'm asking you again. Do you where the Ji family is located in?"
That man nodded blankly.
"Okay then. Lead the way for me!"
He held a deep hatred for the Ji family, and though taking Jiang Xiu there would be dangerous, he decided to do it in the end. "Okay. I'll take you there."
"Only, it's a long way there, and there's no place where we can get food on the way. Let's prepare some rations first."
…
Inside the Mu family's village.
Mu Jianping, as well as the heads of the other three families, looked at the white-robed youth in front of them who was accompanied by a sword carrier maid who looked elegant and free from vulgarity.
"Y-Young Sword Master…"
Si Wuxie had withdrawn from the word for many years so Mu Jianping wasn't expecting he'd help. It was surprising that they had even sent the Young Sword Master.
That woman donned in the cheongsam said, "This person couldn't be the Young Sword Master of the West Sichuan Sword Palace, right? They say that both the underworld and the white-collar world hold him in respect in West Sichuan. He's known as the No. 1 among the youngest generation, and all the huge financial groups follow after him blindly. He has thirteen swords under him, and one of them is the son of the governor of West Sichuan while another is a Young Master of the Imperial Capital."
The old man was also shocked after hearing this.
"Is it really him?!"
The gazes with which everyone looked at this Young Sword Master changed immediately. They all knew the legend of Si Wuxie. He was unparalleled back then, and his fame had reached Eastern Asia, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and all the Chinese people of Southeast Asia held him in respect. Although he hadn't appeared for 60 years already, the name of West Sichuan's Sword Palace hung over West Sichuan all along and left everyone in awe.
"The Mu family, Kong family, Mei family and the Zhang family… greet the Young Sword Master of Western Sichuan's Sword Palace!" The heads of the four families bowed towards him.
Since their family heads had bowed, the surrounding disciples didn't dare to keep standing and bowed after them.
"We greet the Young Sword Master of West Sichuan's Sword Palace!"
Everyone was feeling shocked as a real bigshot had arrived this time.
The Young Sword Master slowly walked over with an apathetic expression on his face. It looked like he was habituated to such ostentatious greetings like these. He walked in front of the four families and waved his hand before taking a seat in a regal manner.
"Mu Jianping, are your four families ready to pay allegiance to my West Sichuan's Sword Palace?"
All the four family heads looked at each other. Three of their people were dying each day due to the harassment by the Ji family. If this kept happening, they'd all die sooner or later. If they relied on the West Sichuan Sword Palace's help, the Sword Palace would definitely help them and their families were being roped into was because the Sword Palace had an interest in Huabei's underworld power. So they naturally wouldn't let the Ji family run amock on this land.
There was no room for hesitation.
"We wish to!"
The Young Sword Master had already guessed they would answer in this way, so his expression didn't change at all. "Ji Wudao and Zhu Dingshen are dead, yet the Ji family still dares to act so rampantly. Look how I slaughter them."
"They still have a Demigod!" Mu Jianping said helplessly.
"I'm afraid that the Young Sword Master will suffer losses if you go to talk with the Ji family alone."
The Young Sword Master laughed heartily, "Am I not a Demigod?"
Everyone was shocked by these words. The Young Sword Master wasn't even 20, but he had already become a Demigod. They had cultivated for an entire lifetime yet only reached the Grandmaster stage so they couldn't help but feel ashamed and shocked.
They immediately recalled another talented youth. Descend, the nine mythical arts, cleanse the heavens, a thousand years of karma, an artless heart yet romantic - Jiang Luoxia.
Is another Jiang Luoxia going to appear?
China was prospering greatly right now, and under such a star of fortune, it was inevitable for geniuses to appear.
"We shall listen to the Young Sword Master's decision!"
Mu Jianping was still feeling a little worried, "Young Sword Master, as our four families weren't able to endure the Ji family's torment, we had first gone to seek Mr. Jiang of the Imperial Capital. Since we are going to deal with the Ji family, would Mr. Jiang…"
The Young Sword Master said, "Although Jiang Luoxia had killed Ju Wudao, it was a fair battle between demigods. He didn't bother the Ji family after that and also doesn't care about your life or death so he mustn't blame my Sword Palace for getting involved into it. Moreover, even Jiang Luoxia will have to give face to my ancestor."
Yet, at this moment, a man ran into the place with a scared expression on his face, "Young Sword Master, it's no good. Young Master Jing got beaten up."
The Young Sword Master's expression warped, "Who dared to make a move on my men?"
Mu Jianping and the other's expressions turned ugly as well. This was their domain. They were worried whether it was one of their disciples who had done it.
