Chapter 179: The Song Clan is the Law

Fang Chens group boarded the cargo boat. Their fares were much more expensive as they brought their horses on board with them.

We only have one room left. Do you mind squeezing?

One of the crewmates led Fang Chens group across a cramped corridor toward a cabin filled with sweat stench.

Its fine. Fang Chen nodded.

Xia Yun and the others didnt mind either. Their spirit ki allowed them to remain immaculate no matter how dirty their surroundings were. Besides, cultivators didnt have to sleep; they merely needed space to sit down and meditate.

Wait! A person dressed in maid clothes suddenly rushed over. Her frown and her covering her nose with a handkerchief signaled her disdain for her surroundings. She eyed the cargo area before turning to the crewmate and saying, Our young miss will be taking this room. We have many people with us. The rooms you allocated to us aren't enough.

This The crewmate was taken aback. He hesitantly looked at Fang Chen and the others.

Seeing that, the maid took out a silver ingot that was worth roughly five taels and tossed it to the crewmate, saying, Get to it.

The crewmates face lit up. He turned to Fang Chen and said, My apologies, but would you mind squeezing on the deck? Its only a few days journey to the capital. Ill refund your two silver taels.

Tantai Qingxuan glanced at the arrogant maid and harrumphed. Have you never heard of first come first serve?

The maid assessed Tantai Qingxuan from head to toe before scoffing, A woman like you is traveling together with a group of men and even sharing a room; do you have no shame?

Fang Chen and the others werent bothered by the conflict.

Liu Suifeng even shook his head with a smile. He knew his Tantai Qinguxan temperament, which was why he knew that maid was going to suffer.

The maid merely felt a gust of wind when she belatedly realized that Tantai Qingxuan was already standing in front of her. Tantai Qingxuan raised her hand and inflicted ten slaps on the maid, leaving the latter feeling light-headed.

The crewmate hurriedly stepped forward to intervene, but Xu Ge stood up and slapped him so hard that he fell to the ground. The silver ingot slipped from his grasp, rolled off the edge, and dropped into the river.

Many people witnessed the sight. On the one hand, they felt pained by the loss of the silver ingotit was not a small sum of money, but at the same time, they were curious to know who Fang Chen and the others were to act so arrogantly.

After inflicting thirty slaps on the maid, Tantai Qingxuan finally vented all her anger and sneered, Scram.

You The maid grasped her swollen cheek while glaring at Tantai Qingxuan with vicious eyes. She stomped off and made her way toward a group of people, where she started angrily sharing what had just happened.

Those people whom the maid was talking to looked to be merchants, but there were many martial artists standing around them. They were clearly not people to be trifled with. As they listened to the maids story, some of them looked over at Fang Chens group with hostile eyes.

Moments later, they marched over with the maid.

You Do you not know the rules at all?! The crewmate who was slapped to the ground frantically searched around for the silver ingot, only to belatedly realize that it had dropped into the river. That prompted him to glare at Xu Ge and the others angrily.

Rules? First come first serve should be a rule, no? Xu Ge scoffed. That maid tried to take our room without consulting us. Are you saying shes in the right?

The crewmate was stumped.

Our Song Clan is the rule. A harrumph echoed.

The one who had just spoken was a young man in his early twenties. He held a foldable fan in his hand, and his eyes gleamed with spirit. He was surprisingly strong as a martial artist, looking to have reached Ki Control.

He was accompanied by a large group of martial artists behind him. In particular, a cold-faced woman stood right behind him.

One is at first stage Aureate Ki, and the rest are at Human Profound realm, Zhao Yan said.

The Aureate Ki martial artist he spoke about was an old man with sharp eyes standing behind the young man. He quietly eyed Fang Chens group with an emotionless face.

Your Song Clan? Xu Ge laughed. I heard about Chillwaters Ji Clan, but I have never heard of the Song Clan before? What makes you so formidable that you think you are the rule?

Are those people not from Chillwater?

How could they have not heard about the Song Clan? The Song Clan might pale in comparison to the Ji Clan, but they have over a hundred thousand clansmen. Be it the pugilistic world or the imperial court, the Song Clans silhouette can be seen everywhere!

Its foolish to trifle with the Song Clan, even if they arent from the main lineage. Those people are in trouble.

Some of the martial artists watching the spectacle muttered among themselves.

The young man assessed Xu Ge before chuckling. It turns out you arent from Chillwater at all! Little Emerald, is he the one who hit you?

The maid glared at Tantai Qingxuan viciously. Its that bitch.

The young man glanced at Tantai Qingxuan and was slightly startled. Not only did Tantai Qingxuan have a beautiful face, but she also emanated an ethereal air due to her cultivation. Now that he was paying attention to her, he found that he couldnt tear his eyes away from her.

Even so, he quickly snapped out of it and grunted, Elder Qin, that woman doesnt know her place for daring to humiliate our Song Clansman. According to the rules, how should we deal with her?

The old man with sharp eyes let out a deep laughter. Young master, we can take her as our Song Clans slave.

Lets do that. The young man nodded with a smile.

Without any warning, Elder Qin flitted up to Tantai Qingxuan. He was so fast that the others weren't able to follow his movements at all; they could only feel a gust of wind.

Xia Yun and Liu Suifeng exchanged looks. Neither of them looked inclined to make a move.

Fang Chen and the others decided to just watch the commotion too.

Elder Qin clad his body in aureate ki, which granted him immense strength and impenetrable defense that no Human Profound realm martial artist could hope to match.

Bam!

A crisp crack ensued.

It was as if Elder Qings claw had swiped onto something unbreakable; his claw ended up shattering instead. The excruciating pain had him sweating profusely. He anxiously retreated back to the young mans side and assessed Tantai Qingxuan with shocked eyes while grasping his fractured hand.

Song Yi and the others were taken aback. They hadnt expected Elder Qin to be outdone by such a young woman.

The maid was horrified. She felt a chill running down her back. Even Elder Qin is unable to deal with that woman? To think that I actually

Zhao Yan watched the spectacle and quietly sighed. He had to admit there was a huge gap between martial artists and cultivators. He didnt have the absolute confidence to defeat Tantai Qingxuan in a battle.

Measly ants. Tantai Qingxuan eyed Song Yi and the others with murderous eyes, but she quickly curbed her killing intent. The South Heaven Sect had rules prohibiting them from taking mortals lives at a whim.

Who are you? Song Yi instinctively asked with a frown. A second later, he quickly clasped his fist and added, It looks like it was just a misunderstanding. We shall take our leave.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave with his people, Tantai Qingxuan suddenly spoke up, Youre leaving just like that?

The corners of her lips crept into a faint sneer.
