The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
High President: "No, the reason for putting you on the blacklist is that every time I take your business, my Black Design Society nearly faces destruction. Therefore, for the long-term development of Black Design Society, we cannot accept your business anymore. You should seek someone more capable."
Yi Junsheng retorted: "High President, you really know how to calculate, don't you? You attribute the revenge from others against Black Design Society to me. Is that fair? Your Black Design Society specializes in taking money for lives, so you must have offended quite a few people in the martial world. What does their revenge have to do with me?"
High President shook his head: "You are mistaken again; this is absolutely related to you. Just like last time, when I agreed to let Jing Ke help you deal with Duanmu Chong, it led to extreme retaliation from Duanmu Chong, and Black Design Society almost faced annihilation. Does this have nothing to do with you?"
Yi Junsheng explained further: "High President, you are wrong here. Duanmu Chong is an ambitious and scheming figure in the martial world. Your Black Design Society has long been a thorn in his side. Last time merely gave him an excuse to attack you; even without that incident, your Black Design Society would still be unable to escape Duanmu Chong's extermination. How can such matters be blamed on me? Moreover, I am not here to take down any big figures but rather an obscure character from the Martial Arts Alliance, my enemy, the notorious Gao Lao Dongfang Ao Long. I believe killing Eastern Proud Dragon won't bring any crisis to your Black Design Society, right? Also, I am willing to pay double for Eastern Proud Dragon's life; such a deal should be profitable for your Black Design Society. Think it over."
After pondering for a moment, High President felt that Yi Junsheng had a point: "In that case, I will take this job. What kind of assassin do you want for the task?"
Yi Junsheng answered without hesitation: "Of course, it's got to be the top assassin, Jing Ke."
High President: "Alright then, the fee is four hundred thousand taels."
Upon hearing this, Yi Junsheng nearly spat blood and leaned closer to High President: "High President, have you gone mad? Four hundred thousand taels? Last time I hired Jing Ke, it was only one hundred fifty thousand taels. Even if prices have gone up, it shouldn't reach four hundred thousand taels!"
High President explained: "You are mistaken; the price for hiring Jing Ke has indeed increased by twenty thousand taels. It was originally one hundred eighty thousand taels. Since you were a regular customer last time, I gave you a discount, so the current price is two hundred thousand taels. You just said you'd pay double; two hundred thousand taels doubled is four hundred thousand taels. I haven't made any mistakes here. If you can't afford it, please leave; after all, doing business with you poses too great a risk for Black Design Society."
Feeling helpless after hearing High President's explanation, Yi Junsheng accepted the price and handed over a stack of silver notes: "That troublesome Tall Guy is on his way here now; just send out Jing Ke to take care of him."
High President: "Alright, wait here. After Jing Ke kills Eastern Proud Dragon, you can leave without delay."
Eastern Proud Dragon chased to the outskirts of Black Design Society, already understanding Yi Junsheng's cunning plan. He also knew that the assassins of Black Design Society were highly skilled, and even if he forced his way inside, he wouldn't be able to kill Yi Junsheng, but would instead fall into an irretrievable situation. To preserve his strength, Eastern Proud Dragon made a wise choice to leave immediately and seek revenge another day. Thus, Eastern Proud Dragon hurriedly left the territory of Black Design Society. Just after Eastern Proud Dragon departed, the top assassin, Jing Ke, emerged from the base of Black Design Society, looked around but found no trace of Eastern Proud Dragon as mentioned by Yi Junsheng, and returned to report the situation to High President.
High President said to Yi Junsheng: “Jing Ke went out and found no trace of Eastern Proud Dragon. Your information is incorrect.”
Yi Junsheng waved his fan and replied: “That shouldn't be the case. This damn Tall Guy is not without intelligence; he must have anticipated that I would ask you, Black Design Society, for help, so he has long since fled. However, since you took my money, you still need to kill him. I will inform you once I have news about him; for now, I must leave.”
High President: “Alright, take care.”
Yi Junsheng left Black Design Society to find his weapons and Reverse Head.
After failing to encircle and kill Duanmu Chong, Mengzi and others returned to Confucius Academy. Mengzi was very frustrated: “Both attempts ended in failure. The students can imagine how difficult it is to establish a world of great harmony.”
Zhu Yingtai bowed in respect: “At Confucian Academy, this time it was entirely due to the appearance of the Sword Demon, Sword Demon Tiedan. Our actions failed because of him. It is said that initially, Sword Demon Tiedan was imprisoned in the Martial Arts Tribunal. Now that he has re-emerged in the martial world, he must have been rescued by the criminal, Duanmu Chong. I believe we should notify someone at the Martial Arts Tribunal, so they can be responsible for capturing Sword Demon Tiedan, while we focus on Yi Zhangzhi and Duanmu Chong.”
Mengzi said: “Zhu Yingtai, you are right. Let’s send someone to inform the Martial Arts Tribunal about Sword Demon Tiedan.”
At this moment, Liang Shanbo, who had been spared by Sword Demon Tiedan, returned from Northern Martial Arts to inform Mengzi about the alliance between Duanmu Chong and the Half-Orc. Mengzi remarked: “This person, Duanmu Chong, is like a malignant tumor; if we do not remove him soon, he will only grow larger. Now that he has allied with the Half-Orc, a bloody storm in the martial world is inevitable.”
Zeng Gong asked: “At Confucian Academy, what should we do next?”
Mengzi: “Now that Duanmu Chong has taken refuge in the base of the Half-Orc, we cannot act against him for the time being. You should investigate the whereabouts of Yi Zhangzhi within the Martial Arts Alliance.”
The students replied: “We will obey.”
Yi Zhangzhi, having escaped from Yun Yin Temple, arrived at Smoke and Rain, Absolute Flower, Eighteen Floors. However, he did not see Dreamy Beauty. The Female Guards of Eighteen Floors were on high alert, ready to confront Yi Zhangzhi. Yi Zhangzhi said, "Is this how Smoke and Rain, Absolute Flower, Eighteen Floors treats its guests?" As soon as he finished speaking, eighteen Female Guards surged forward to attack Yi Zhangzhi. Having come with a purpose, Yi Zhangzhi was unwilling to harm anyone; he only dodged their attacks, making the battle increasingly difficult.
Inside the Martial Arts Tribunal, Bao Qing was astonished by the news brought by a disciple of Confucius Academy and immediately rushed to the prison to verify the truth. Upon arriving at the prison, Bao Qing opened the cell holding Criminal Sword Demon Tiedan and stepped inside. A person resembling Sword Demon Tiedan was in the cell. Bao Qing touched the Criminal's face and discovered that it was wearing a human skin mask. Furious, Bao Qing tore off the Criminal's mask, revealing that this person was not Sword Demon Tiedan but rather a scapegoat. This proved that Sword Demon Tiedan had long since escaped from prison. Bao Qing questioned the Criminal about when and who helped Sword Demon Tiedan escape, but the Criminal remained silent. At that moment, when Bao Qing opened the Criminal's mouth, he was shocked to find that the Criminal's tongue had already been cut out. Bao Qing said, "It seems this matter was premeditated, and there is a traitor within the Martial Arts Tribunal. Wang Chao, you will handle this traitor."
Wang Chao replied, "Yes, since Sword Demon Tiedan is at large, should we still pursue him?"
Bao Qing said, "Initially, Sword Saint Murong Mulong protected Sword Demon Tiedan's life. Now that Sword Demon Tiedan has escaped from prison and poses a threat to the martial world, we should ask Murong Mulong for assistance in capturing him. Zhan Zhao will go to Tongfu Inn to inform Murong Mulong about Sword Demon Tiedan."
Zhan Zhao said, "Alright." He then left the prison for Tongfu Inn.
The Half-Dragon Leader of the Half-Beasts sent Half-Leopard Man to Martial Arts Alliance to look for Eastern Proud Dragon after noticing that Eastern Proud Dragon had not returned for several days. Meanwhile, Yi Junsheng found his weapon along with Reverse Head. At the same time, they encountered Half-Leopard Man on a narrow path. Half-Leopard Man saw that Eastern Proud Dragon's enemy was still alive and thought: doesn't this mean Eastern Proud Dragon failed in his revenge? Could it be that Eastern Proud Dragon has been killed? How should I report this to Leader? It would be better to capture these two and present them to Leader; perhaps that could save me from trouble. With this decision made.
Half-Leopard Man said, "You two again; today you cannot escape." He then attacked Yi Junsheng and Reverse Head with his sharp claws.
Tension filled the air as Half-Leopard Man attempted to capture Yi Junsheng and Reverse Head. Would he succeed? What was Yi Zhangzhi seeking at Smoke and Rain, Absolute Flower, Eighteen Floors? Would he be able to meet Dreamy Beauty as he wished? Would the elusive Sword Demon Tiedan be captured?
