As for the traveling merchant carrying the baskets, he really didn’t notice anything abnormal. As he passed by, he muttered softly, “Bah! Public decency isn’t what it used to be…”

Ye Jingtang felt that this man’s martial arts skills were definitely not low. There were no flaws in his aura or footsteps. He didn’t move rashly and only hugged Dumdum behind the willow tree and swayed.

After they had been intimate for a long time, the merchant walked unhurriedly into the distance and stopped near Dragon Creek Alley. A person dressed as a steward walked out and spoke to the merchant. He looked like he was choosing goods.

Ye Jingtang listened carefully, but the distance was too far, and the two men lowered their voices, so he couldn’t hear anything.

After waiting for a moment, he found that the two men had walked to a spot out of his sight. Then there was the sound of baskets being lowered.Thɪs chapter is updated by novelenglish(ꜰ)ire.ɴet

Hearing this, Ye Jingtang patted Dumdum’s back lightly, indicating that something had happened and he was preparing to go over.

But Dongfang Liren’s perception wasn’t as strong as Ye Jingtang’s. She had long lost her sensation of the merchant and didn’t dare to move. Feeling Ye Jingtang pat her, she thought he meant they would expose themselves by just hugging, so she raised her face obediently.

Ye Jingtang blinked and wanted to say something but hesitated. After thinking about it, he lowered his head slightly and kissed her face. Then he turned around, walked toward Dragon Creek Alley, and raised his hand to signal her not to act rashly.

Seeing this, Dongfang Liren touched her cheek, feeling that something was wrong. But she didn’t think too much about it. Seeing Ye Jingtang’s gesture, she suppressed her breathing and silently followed him toward Dragon Creek Alley.

Bam!

“Why are you pretending to be a big wolf…”

Zing! Zing!

After a few indistinct friendly exchanges, a plaintive and desolate tune echoed on Dragon Creek Alley under the moonlight.

Ye Jingtang placed his hand on the Hornless Dragon Saber at his waist and focused all his attention on investigating the movements in the courtyard. He found that there was still more than 100 feet between them. Liu Qiansheng could actually discover him and Dumdum through the walls. He couldn’t help feeling a little impressed.

Since Liu Qiansheng had made it clear, Ye Jingtang no longer deliberately suppressed his footsteps. He walked unhurriedly to the courtyard door and said calmly, “‘Golden Snake Dart’ Zheng Kun, Boss Zheng, four years ago, there was an escort missions that passed by Wang Estuary. Your men detained all the people and goods and extorted two hundred taels of silver before releasing them. At the time, I wanted to go pay you a visit, but unfortunately, I was stopped by my father. It can be considered fate that we can meet here today…”

Zing- Zing-

The courtyard was completely silent except for the crisp sound of the strings.

Shi Yanfeng’s back was facing Liu Qiansheng. He held his staff with both hands and looked at the door. His eyes were gloomy as he looked for other experts lying in ambush from the corner of his eye.

Zheng Kun’s expression changed when he heard his ncalled before he could see anyone. He lowered his hands and prepared to attack as he stared at the wall. “Who are you? I don’t remember being in the business of collecting tolls from escorts in recent years.”

Tread, tread…

Footsteps cto the courtyard door, and a handsfigure in black appeared in front of the two of them.

Ye Jingtang looked at the two people in the courtyard with an expression of chatting with people from the shometown. “I used to be the young master of the Red River Escort Agency. It was a small escort agency with around ten people. Two hundred taels of silver isn’t a big sum. Boss Zheng, it’s normal that you don’t remember. I just remembered this account.”

As Ye Jingtang turned around, the brass ring on the saber at his waist was revealed. The carving of the hornless dragon was extremely eye-catching.

Shi Yanfeng’s expression changed drastically. He didn’t even need to ask who this King of Hell who had appeared out of nowhere was. “So, it’s Hero Ye. We cto the capital this tonly to settle a personal grudge and not target others. If we’ve offended you in the past, my sworn brother Jiang Zhahu will compensate you a thousand times. In the future, we’ll meet again in Jianghu. I hope you can give my sworn brother face.”

Seeing that the other party was using Jiang Zhahu’s nto scare him, Ye Jingtang flipped his wrist and took out a token. “I’m just a constable. If I give you face, I’m afraid the Imperial Court won’t giveface.”

Ciang! Clang! Clang!

The courtyard fell silent again.

The melody of the three-stringed lute in Liu Qiansheng’s hands suddenly becurgent, sounding like a death thrum.

Zheng Kun and Shi Yanfeng didn’t move at all. They seemed to be hesitating whether to fight together or try to break out, allowing one of them to escape.

But they didn’t think about this problem for long. After all, this was the capital. Not only was Ye Jingtang here, but there was also Daoist Xuanji, the Eight-Armed Ksitigarbha, the White-Haired Diting, and a group of experts. They might be nearby. The possibility of breaking out was almost zero.

Shi Yanfeng stared at Ye Jingtang for a moment. Without any communication, he suddenly exerted strength in his legs and charged into the empty courtyard next door.

Ye Jingtang’s gaze shifted to the right at the stime.

Swoosh!

At this moment, Zheng Kun seized the opportunity. His robe suddenly swelled, and he waved his right hand. A black spearhead flew out of his sleeve.

Behind the spearhead was a golden rope. In an instant, it crossed a distance of 30 feet like a straight golden line splitting the courtyard into two. The terrifying sound of wind breaking was as if Ye Jingtang had used the Azure Dragon Claw.

The rope dart was a weapon for catching people off guard. Zheng Kun’s all-out attack with the spearhead dart had an explosive speed much higher than the Silver-Horned Horse-Face’s. Ordinary Grandmasters might not be able to react in time.

But Liu Qiansheng, who was playing the three-stringed lute behind Zheng Kun, sighed silently before Zheng Kun attacked.

After all, even though he had an injured body, Ye Jingtang had been able to see through his underwear when they fought in the pitch-black tunnel. He had only been able to rely on his strength to fight head-on.

Now that Ye Jingtang was already one of the Eight Chiefs, it was a joke for a martial artist who couldn’t even achieve the Unity of Heaven and Man to launch a sneak attack against him by creating a diversion.

Clang!

A crisp saber cry suppressed the sound of the three-stringed lute and the sound of a strong force breaking through the air!

Ye Jingtang looked at Shi Yanfeng, who was flying to the side, but he had already placed his left hand at his waist at spoint. His legs bent slightly, and his back suddenly straightened. The porch of the courtyard shattered under the terrifying impact..
