I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 422 - : 422. Make the world more pleasing to the eye

Chapter 422: 422. Make the world more pleasing to the eye

The elder of the Joyful Sect, Duan Zhigui, came to the residence of Grandmaster Yuan, familiar with the way.

The guards at the gate recognized him and knew he was favored by their master, so they quickly bowed and saluted.

Duan Zhigui nodded casually as he entered the gate. Passing by the gatehouse, he saw many “noble” officials waiting inside.

They had all fled from the Imperial City during the invasion of the Coalition Forces of the Great Powers, and Yuan Kaisheng had warmly sheltered them.

He not only provided them with residences, but he also helped those in worse conditions with money, earning praise from everyone for his generous righteousness.

Duan Zhigui silently admired Yuan Kaisheng’s skilled tactics. It hadn’t cost much, but his reputation had greatly increased.

“Serving such a master is much more comfortable than dealing with that bunch of smelly women in the sect.”

Duan Zhigui let out a deep sigh. Most people think that being an elder of the Joyful Sect is a sweet deal, with countless worshippers to enjoy, but they couldn’t be more wrong.

Being from the same sect, they all knew each other; during intercourse, they would inevitably lock down the ‘golden gates’ tightly, not letting anything out. Often after a whole night of hustle, one could gain nothing, and over time it would lead to mutual disdain.

Moreover, the core cultivation technique of the Joyful Sect, “Jade Maiden’s Scripture,” is quite nefarious—one must cultivate as a virgin to reach the ultimate achievement.

Therefore, the top treasures within the sect are not something ordinary people can touch, making the position of elder rather uninteresting.

After contemplating for a while, he walked quickly for a quarter of an hour before finally arriving at Yuan Kaisheng’s study, demonstrating the vastness of the residence.

This place, in terms of both area occupied and opulence, was no less than the Imperial Palace. A commoner coming here for the first time would surely get lost.

But this was nothing; Zhang Wenda, the Grandmaster, in order to show his commitment to the “Westernization Movement,” built a steel factory in a corner of his backyard. The presence of such a heavily polluting factory hardly affected normal living…

With top-notch martial power, Grandmasters naturally have top-notch enjoyment, and a large house is only the most basic of necessities.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Upon entering the study and seeing Yuan Kaisheng behind a large sandalwood desk, Duan Zhigui wore a sorrowful expression and said,

“Lord Yuan, you must seek justice for me! It is so difficult for martial artists to leave a bloodline, and I have only this one son. Even if he was wrong, he didn’t deserve to be killed on the spot!”

Yuan Kaisheng was reading a telegram and looked up with a nonchalant expression,

“He has only himself to blame for not being careful. But don’t worry, many have already contacted me to deal with that Lu Yao together.”

Duan Zhigui said, “Are you also going to make a move? I can liaise on behalf of the Sect Master. The Joyful Sect also suffered a significant loss of loyal vassals during this time.”

With Yuan Kaisheng’s character, of course, he wouldn’t make the first move. He waved his hand casually, “No rush, let those who can’t hold their patience test the waters first.”

Duan Zhigui said respectfully, “I will follow your lead! With Lu Yao opposing so many at once, his end will certainly not be a good one.”

Yuan Kaisheng’s face showed a mocking smile, “This Lu Yao is another fool who can’t see the situation clearly, thinking that by killing a few, peace will prevail, and he can be a hero. Little does he know that the world no longer cares about good and evil; it is a time when people prey on each other.”

~~~~~~~~~~

Satisfied with the response, Duan Zhigui carefully flattered a few more words before getting up to leave.

Serving a Grandmaster is not much different from serving the Emperor.

All might is held within oneself; the Grandmasters also control life and death, easily dooming people beyond redemption.

Yuan Kaisheng’s study was close to the inner house, and young and beautiful women were constantly coming and going.

Most of them were around fifteen or sixteen years old, none over eighteen, all with melon-seed faces and slim waists, exquisitely adorable.

Duan Zhigui glanced over them, his Technique of Observing Beauty instantly discerning the finest features of these girls, and he felt some regret,

“Grandmaster Yuan has taken too narrow a path! There are so many wonderful women in the world, yet he exclusively prefers the most uninteresting kind, what a pity.”

Different strokes for different folks, there will always be those who do not fancy the tall and fierce physiques of female martial artists.

With a sense of regret, Duan Zhigui turned to walk back.

It was not appropriate to use his movement technique in a Grandmaster’s house, so he had to patiently walk slowly.

During the journey back, he encountered several groups of women, some of whom were Joyful Sect disciples he had sent himself, and they nodded to each other in greeting.

“To say there are three thousand beauties in the harem is definitely an understatement here. There are certainly more than 3000 known names in Grandmaster Yuan’s inner house… but it’s a pity that they are the least interesting kind.”

Just as he was privately criticizing Yuan Kaisheng’s taste, a woman approached from afar, causing Duan Zhigui’s eyes to light up suddenly!

“What a superb specimen! It seems Grandmaster Yuan does recognize quality.”

He saw the woman, voluptuous in figure, swaying as she approached; even though slightly older, it only added an abundance of charm.

She was the mother of Liao Ya and Liao Qe—Madam Xiao Qing!

However, after a few glances, Duan Zhigui began to privately beat his chest and stomp his feet in frustration:

“Her brows tightly knitted, and her eyes as still as an ancient well, it’s obvious she’s been deprived of love for years. Such a prime beauty going to waste is truly a shame!”

But the women of a Great Grandmaster, even if he himself doesn’t touch them, are not to be ogled by outsiders.

Duan Zhigui left Yuan Residence with immense regret.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Imperial City, Lu Yao’s missile strikes blossomed throughout the Jing-Jin-Ji Region, creating an uproar.

He launched 30 missiles, killing at least 800 people, 90% of whom were Martial Artists above the Organ Refining Realm; many well-known figures in the underworld met their end.

Many found it hard to believe, as most of the sects coming to the city for a living had extensive connections; Lord Lu had actually carried out the attack without hesitation!

Some were puzzled: Was Lord Lu truly going to such extremes over such a trifle?

But what incensed people more was the obstruction of wealth; ruining one’s livelihood was even more detestable than slaying their parents.

The great powers of the day are in dire need of labor and even more so of fresh blood. “Overseas labor” can be exchanged for countless sums of silver and military supplies, and even treasures like gold.

But with Lu Yao around, Jinmen, the largest port in the north, couldn’t be used, which meant untold fortunes were unattainable, much to everyone’s frustration.

Consequently, the outside world widely condemned Lu Yao’s brutal actions. One day, the newspaper called him “a bully who is cruel and unethical,” and the next, “brutal, debauched, and extravagantly martial.”

The local newspapers of Jingjin naturally retorted, and the two sides were embroiled in endless arguments.

Rumors abounded that several Great Grandmasters were due to seek justice for the devasted vassal sects.

While the outside world was in chaos, Lu Yao wasn’t bothered by any of these matters.

At this moment, he was being pestered by Fran for debts.

The girl glared at him with her bright turquoise eyes and hands on her hips, demanding fiercely, “What about the willpower you promised me!”

Having had too much fun these past few days, Lu Yao just remembered he had “shortchanged” her.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry, here it comes.”

With a raise of his hand, the pipa flew out from his ear, growing as it hit the air and landing in his hand.

Fran’s expression became serious: [This man actually has a Magical Treasure! How many more great things does he have!!!]

Stored within the pipa was the willpower brought from Blue Star, which Lu Yao extracted a strand of and channeled into the Lake Sword.

He didn’t dare extract much, since Fran was a person from Otherworld, and he feared any mishap.

Fran inhaled it gently, and all was devoured, her eyes narrowing into a contented expression, “Give me some more~”

Lu Yao drew out some more and passed it to her, which Fran gobbled up once again.

Her radiant golden hair danced involuntarily as she said, satisfied:

“Great! This faith is of great help to me. My dear Holy Knight~ Can I have some more~”

After becoming familiar with someone, their true nature often reveals itself, and it had been a long time since Fran had shown her elegant poise and vigor.

Just as Lu Yao was about to extract more from the pipa, he suddenly looked up at the sky, only to see countless willpower converging from all directions!

“Positive willpower from Otherworld!?”

The missile strikes had killed off many bandits and nefarious underworld figures.

Their deaths would only make the Jingjin area more peaceful and prosperous.

Hence, the heartfelt admiration of the common people turned into an abundant willpower, converging from the sky.

Although not abundant in quantity, the willpower brought a knowing smile to Lu Yao’s face:

“The bigger the ability, the bigger the undertaking. Now that my cultivation has improved, I shall make this world a more pleasing place!”

With that, he raised his hand to direct this willpower into the Lake Sword!

Fran was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed, devouring these positive spiritual fluctuations through the Lake Sword, transforming them into nourishment!

“Burp, my dear Holy Knight, your loyalty is so profound, I shall never mistreat you~”

With a flush on her cheeks and a dreamy look in her eyes, Fran, like one intoxicated, retreated into the Lake Sword to digest her gains.

Looking at her in this state, Lu Yao thought he knew a way to endow this creature with a massive amount of willpower.

But well… their friendship hadn’t reached that level yet.
