Qin Sha signaled to his followers, who immediately understood. They had done this job at least eighty times before and were quite familiar with it.
A group of Black-Clad Men surrounded them, while Cold Moon stood in the center, unmoving. As a direct disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect's Falling Cloud Pavilion, she would not be intimidated by these ruffians.
However, Qin Sha was not just a common thug; his subordinates were all skilled Bodyguards with cultivation. The young master of the Qin Family could not afford to bring along a bunch of useless drunks when going out to cause trouble.
"If you agree to my proposal, I can help you find someone. What do you say?" Qin Sha put away his Gilded Folding Fan and grinned wickedly at Cold Moon. He thought that since she was just an outsider, she would be easy to manipulate. Just last month, he had publicly dealt with the Second Miss of the Hong Family, the second largest force in Luoma Market, and the Hong Family did not dare to retaliate; they even came to him seeking a match for their daughter.
Cold Moon looked coldly at the Bodyguards around her. She knew that Qin Sha intended to use force, but today was his unlucky day; he was trying to provoke her on her own turf.
"What do you want from me?" Cold Moon scoffed.
"You really don't know? Don't tell me you're still a pure maiden; no one would believe that. With your looks, I bet countless young masters have taken advantage of you," Qin Sha revealed his true nature and began to speak lewdly.
Cold Moon raised an eyebrow and slowly drew her long sword from its sheath.
Qin Sha remained unfazed. He was a Martial Mastery practitioner, and his brothers were all close to the Ninth-Dan Samurai level; this kind of lineup was more than enough to handle a woman on his own territory.
"Kneel down and lick my boots!" Qin Sha shouted arrogantly, and Cold Moon's fierce glare only fueled his anger further.
Cold Moon remained silent as her long sword slowly emerged from its sheath, ready to unleash its full brilliance at any moment.
Under the scorching sun, the heat beat down on the earth like fire, blindingly bright and overshadowing the gentle glow emitted by the Azure Moon Autumn Light Sword.
However, Qin Sha was also trained and quickly recognized that this sword was no ordinary weapon.
Luoma Market was a mixed bag of people; although Martial Sovereigns were in the majority, there were also members of Spirit Sect and Blood Sect present. The local overlord, Qin Changlin, did not reject this diversity and was quite accepting of matters concerning other clans. This led those who mingled within the Qin Family to know some anecdotes about Spirit Sect and Blood Sect.
Soon, those with sharp eyes quietly concluded that the girl was likely holding the so-called celestial weapon from the Spirit Sect.
One person quickly walked over to Qin Sha's side and whispered a few words, suggesting that this girl might not be easy to deal with.
Celestial weapons are nearly on par with those found in Luoma Market and Skyward Martial Arts, both being extremely rare and valuable. The appearance of such a weapon in the hands of an outsider warranted careful consideration.
According to rumors, there are secret gathering places of the Spirit Sect thousands of miles away. Offending them could bring significant trouble to the Qin Family.
However, Qin Sha's temper had already been provoked; he no longer cared about the Spirit Sect or Blood Sect. Even if a big shot from Cloud Sea Sect showed up, they would have to keep their distance.
Moreover, if he backed down just because of a long sword, how would he ever show his face again in Luoma Market? Would he still be able to mix in?
"Stop wasting time and get her!" Qin Sha raised his head, signaling to capture the girl who was foolish enough to confront him.
As he issued the order, Qin Sha thought that wanting to deal with her was showing respect; how dare she provoke him? If he subdued her, he would hand her over to his Brothers for some fun before disposing of her in the Great River, leaving no trace behind.
Since their master had given the command, the bodyguards felt no hesitation. After all, if anything went wrong, their superiors would cover for them; what did they have to fear?
"Go!"
The leader of the bodyguards shouted and was the first to draw his blade, roaring as he charged at Cold Moon.
The rest of the gang closely followed, their Steel Blades slicing through the air with a piercing sound.
Many onlookers quickly retreated, creating a large open space in the center. While street brawls could be lively, getting splattered with blood was not worth it.
Swish!
The Azure Moon Autumn Light Sword finally unsheathed, a gentle glow spread out, seemingly fragile but easily slicing through the Steel Blade, causing the wielder to bleed out within five steps.
The Five-Stage Martial Artist faced off against the Ninth-Dan Samurai, and the outcome was decided in an instant.
Qin Sha had expected to see Cold Moon kneeling and begging for mercy, only to be surprised that their combat power had been nearly wiped out in an instant. This woman was not only as cold as ice but also struck without mercy.
Of course, Cold Moon was not a ruthless killer; her strikes were measured, merely incapacitating the Bodyguards temporarily.
"Do you still need help?" Cold Moon sheathed her sword and looked at Qin Sha with a cold smile.
Qin Sha was taken aback by her sharp gaze and instinctively took two steps back. He had never felt such a chilling aura from a woman before, especially not on his own turf.
"Who... who are you?" Qin Sha asked timidly, despite possessing the strength of a Martial Master, he lacked the courage to fight back.
"I'm asking if you need help," Cold Moon said without even looking at him, speaking in a tone of authority.
Though it sounded like a suggestion, Qin Sha understood the weight of her words. Helping was not optional; refusing could very well lead to his demise right there.
The Bodyguards on the ground were groaning and clutching their wounds. They had bullied others alongside Qin Sha in Luoma Market, where no one dared to say "no." They would swallow their broken teeth and even lick up spit thrown in their faces.
They were so domineering and arrogant, yet today they fell victim to this woman with just one strike. Their wails were not from pain but rather an appeal for Qin Sha to take action. As the saying goes, even big dogs must heed their master; with the dogs injured, it was time for the master to step in.
"Of course... I will help..." Qin Sha nodded repeatedly, his previous arrogance vanishing completely. He vaguely sensed that this woman was someone even his father could not provoke; things could go badly...
Hearing this, the Bodyguards rolling on the ground were stunned. With their master backing down, they quickly closed their mouths, fearing that one wrong move might anger the Demon God, and what would fall next would be their livelihoods.
Cold Moon snorted coldly and began describing Ye Tian and Yun'er to Qin Sha while enjoying the thunderous applause and astonished gazes around her.
Qin Sha listened intently, afraid to miss any details.
Finally, Qin Sha forced a smile and timidly asked, "Miss, may I ask you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Sha suddenly caught sight of the accessory at Cold Moon's waist, a jade pendant in the shape of a cloud...
"This is... this is..." Qin Sha stumbled back. He recognized the pendant; it belonged to a prisoner they had captured and thrown into the dungeon a couple of days ago, known as the Cloud Token!
"Stop the nonsense. You have until this evening to find the person I'm looking for, or you'll pay with your head," Cold Moon threatened.
Qin Sha hurriedly agreed and, disregarding the injured Bodyguard, quickly ran away without a trace.
As he ran, he felt uneasy. What was happening with the Qin Family? They had offended important figures from Mountain one after another. Was this a sign of their family's decline...
Cold Moon instinctively glanced at her waist. The Cloud Token had been sent to her by Qin Fufeng just before she set out from Cloud Sea Sect. Her master was very fond of her and had long promised her the Cloud Token. It was likely sent because he heard that Cold Moon was going down the mountain again. After all, possessing this item meant that local heroes would think twice before trying to harm Calm Moon.
Indeed, the Cloud Token was proving its worth. Although she could easily subdue Qin Sha with her own strength, having the authority of the Cloud Token made things much easier.
Using local power brokers to find Ye Tian would ensure that even if he hid in a mouse hole, he would be dragged out.
With this thought, a smile appeared on Cold Moon's face; for the first time, she felt the distinct privilege of her noble status.
In the crowd nearby, a dagger silently slipped into someone's sleeve, and then Yun'er slowly withdrew from the crowd, disappearing into the distant streets.
Since Cold Moon had already resolved the difficulties, Yun'er thought it best not to reveal herself.
The streets were bustling with people; both good and bad news spread like wildfire. Soon enough, tales of the white-clad goddess punishing evil and upholding justice became the talk of every alley and corner.
Cold Moon did not shy away, walking straight down the street, allowing the infatuated gazes of men and the jealous looks of women to wash over her. She casually inquired about the Qin Family, located at the eastern end of the city, smiled at the person she asked for directions, and headed towards the Qin Family.
The person who was asked for directions was momentarily stunned; a beauty like her alone wouldn't have such a powerful impact, but combined with her thunderous methods and noble status, these factors together were irresistible to any man.
At a corner of the street, Ye Tian paused briefly. Although Wang Weiyang's presence was growing fainter, he had to stop his Footsteps.
A vendor selling sunflower seeds and peanuts was animatedly recounting how the white-clad goddess dealt with Qin Sha, surrounded by about ten listeners who were all captivated, cracking open seeds one after another while coins jingled in their pockets.
There was no way around it; if he didn't sell seeds, no one would listen. The vendor happened to pass by during the incident, so his firsthand account was certainly more reliable than those of the gossiping women on the street.
Ye Tian listened quietly and soon grasped the general situation. Cold Moon had indeed arrived and caused quite a stir. Cold Yang was the Outer Gate Guard Commander of the Qin Family, and this matter fell under his jurisdiction...
"They must not meet." Ye Tianxin felt a tightness in his chest; if Cold Moon and Cold Yang met, everything would likely be exposed.
With the fall of the Cold Family, the three brothers Cold Boyuan, Cold Bo Stone, and Leng Bo Feng had all perished, Cold Frost was missing, and Cold Yang had become a tool for Wang Weiyang due to threats. How could Cold Moon bear such truths?
Thinking of this, Ye Tian could no longer hesitate and hurriedly made his way towards the Qin Family.
Just as Ye Tian blended into the crowd, a figure cloaked in black robes quietly emerged from the end of a nearby Wall.
