Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 313 - 129: A Slaughter Where Everybody Wins

Chapter 313: Chapter 129: A Slaughter Where Everybody Wins

This level of skill is only enough for him to draw his blade, but not enough to unsheath it.

However, it was sufficient.

The mere presence of the blade without unsheathing was enough to intimidate these disruptors.

Zhou Jia silently tilted his head back, seemingly looking at the sky, or perhaps at the second floor of the restaurant, a sense of reverence flashing in his eyes.

No one understood the terror of that lord more than him.

Since the lord was so terrifying, then following behind him... surely, he could draw the "Life Atlas of the Yanyue Sect," couldn’t he?

...

Before long.

Outside the Hengwu Restaurant, a clamor arose again, and a group of government officials dressed in black robes approached from a distance, came to the restaurant, and shouted, "Someone reported that your restaurant is a black market, so we came to check."

Lin the Fourth hurriedly put on a smile and stepped forward, saying, "Gentlemen, how could we be a black..."

Before he could finish, the leading official waved his hand, and the several officials behind him spread out from both sides and began searching.

One official walked straight to the wooden drawer by the counter, yanked it open suddenly, lips moving as if speaking, but then closed them again.

Then he quickly rifled through the wooden drawer again.

The other officials also rummaged around.

For a long time...

And longer still...

Several officials returned one after another to the side of the leading official, whispering to him.

The leading official frowned slightly, showing some surprise, then slapped the table, not bothering to check upstairs, and said, "Let’s go!"

The group of officials came inexplicably and left just as inexplicably.

They seemed to have a purpose, but ended up surprisingly empty-handed. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

...

On the high floor, a young man was pinching a Luminous Pearl between his thumb and forefinger, observing it in the sunlight.

Behind him were the respectful and bowed Zhou Jia, and the solemn-faced Qian Da.

"Disturbance, framing, arrest, sealing the building, killing, and mental attack... truly not leaving a shred of mercy."

Li Yuan’s voice was calm as he casually tucked the Luminous Pearl into his bosom.

This Luminous Pearl had been left quietly amidst the chaos by the first batch of people who came to drink.

Unfortunately, every commotion in this restaurant was within Li Yuan’s control, and after that group left, he directly retrieved it from a wooden drawer.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before officials came to search the establishment.

It was conceivable that this Luminous Pearl must be an object that could "prove guilt."

As long as the officials found it, they could arrest someone, imprison them, then behead them.

At that time, the situation would be settled unless... he used the "Jade Token" to seek out Gu Xuejian.

"Qian Da, you’ve been gathering information for over four months now, how’s it going?"

The young man’s voice was calm, exuding a reassuring tone.

And Qian Da stepped forward with a cupped fist, speaking in a solemn voice, "Reporting to master, Qian Da... luckily did not fail his duty.

From the first day of arrival, I pretended to be a wealthy merchant, using money to smooth the way and began engaging with the factions. Now I am quite familiar with some factions behind the First Gate of Divine Wood Hall’s Inner City."

At this moment, Qian Da was vastly different from when he first met Li Yuan.

Back then, Qian Da wore sturdy clothes and had short hair, with a fierce look, carrying a Fine Steel Blade on his back.

Now, his demeanor was jovial, with a friendly smile, and even the Fine Steel Blade on his back had been hidden in his sleeve.

When Li Yuan dispatched the advance team to Garden Heaven, Qian Da volunteered to join this "pioneering team," even though he had become an Inner Sect Disciple in the Blood Saber Sect and wherever he went in Shanbao County, people would call him Master Qian, yet he resolutely chose Li Yuan’s side.

Notably, four years ago, upon learning that Li Yuan founded the Martial House, he chose to abandon the painstakingly cultivated "Earth Fire Travel Technique" to become a small lackey at the Martial House... a diligent little lackey.

Now, he finally stood behind this seemingly faltering figure again, and... helped him execute tasks.

Even though he was only Eighth Grade, he was clever in his deeds and a master in gathering intelligence.

Qian Da said, "Behind the First Gate, there are primarily three underground factions, while there are more than ten miscellaneous small sects and gangs.

These three are the Cyan Robe Building, the Flying Banner Sect, and Old Wood Manor.

The first group of troublemakers who came should be disciples of the Flying Banner Sect, and these people must have acted under the Guo Family’s orders.

As for Old Wood Manor, they open martial arts schools everywhere, and many of the guards in restaurants are from those schools.

And Cyan Robe Building is a mercenary organization, combining tasks such as escorting; as long as you are willing to pay, they will send people to do the job for you..."

Qian Da talked endlessly.

Li Yuan learned some details and then suddenly said, "Tell me about those unfashionable small sects,"

Qian Da said, "Master, among them, there’s one I know well.

The Black Wolf Gang, is a gang with many local ruffians and some beggars from outside.

Master, you wouldn’t believe how rampant the Beggar Gang is on Mianzhou Path...

Those beggars probably haven’t infiltrated just the Divine Wood Hall Inner City, but have meddled everywhere else.

Back where we are from, those who want to rob become mountain bandits, but on Mianzhou Path, they... become beggars."

"Do you have acquaintances in the Black Wolf Gang?" Li Yuan asked.

Qian Da, with a jovial demeanor, laughed and said, "Yes, there’s a Wolf with Eighth Grade martial strength, who also talks about joining me to open some kind of shop.

The Wolf claims to be the nephew of the Black Wolf Gang’s Gang Leader and often complains to me over drinks, saying that it’s getting harder to survive here.

In the open, there’s the Cyan Robe Building and Old Wood Manor, while the Flying Banner Sect has become a dog for others.

For a non-mainstream group like them, they can only scrape by in the underground gutters, competing with other small sects for a bite to eat, and now they’re considering opening a shop to make money...
