Chapter Ch235 - Conflict
The shopkeeperâs strength was only at Xiantian stage one. He had previously failed the test to enter the Inner Sect. Later on, he had attached himself to that Inner Sect disciple, and had simply handled matters on the outside and acquired resources from that Inner Sect discipleâs hands. Because he worked properly and his aptitude for practicing martial arts was average, the passage of time had extinguished any thoughts of entering the Inner Sect. Instead, he concentrated on handling the matters of this restaurant.
However, despite giving up, the shopkeeperâs feelings of reverence towards Qingyun Sect were the same as the feelings of countless other Outer Sect disciples who couldnât enter the Inner Sect. Even when compared to some Inner Sect disciples, his sense of belonging to the Sect was stronger. Only, it was a pity that his realm was too low. Although he could see that those three people had an uncommon bearing, in the end, he still somewhat underestimated the other side.
Gu Zuo looked at the strengths of those few guards. The highest was just Xiantian stage five. As an ordinary restaurantâs guard, that was enough. However, wanting to surround and confine those three people wasnât going to work.
Just as expected, while the shopkeeper originally intended to merely let the guards threaten and drive the people out, he didnât expect that one of the young men would walk out just when they were surrounded. The young manâs right foot suddenly lifted up!
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Only a few muffled sounds were heard. No one had clearly seen the traces of that young manâs foot moving when it was discovered that several of the guards were kicked away. After crashing into quite a few tables, they smashed firmly into the walls!
Gu Zuo was startled, and almost wanted to jump up.
Fortunately, he had experienced many things, and he restrained himself.
But very quickly, he furrowed his brows.
That young man was too ruthlessâŠ
The other customers in the restaurant also discovered that those few guards who were smashed into the walls were bleeding from the corners of their mouths. Unexpectedly, they were only kicked like this and they had lost most of their life force. Seeing that they only had a breath of life remaining, if they couldnât be rescued immediately, then they would certainly die right then and there!
Those who practiced martial arts all had great eyesight. With a single glance, numerous martial artists clearly understood that the internal organs of those guards had practically been kicked to shreds. Gu Zuo further perceived how terrifying that young manâs kick was. Violently strong qi energy had burst out, and had broken all of the bone pearls in the guardsâ bodies!
The shopkeeperâs eyes split open in rage.
Although these couple of guards were all hired, theyâd gotten along with him for many years. The sentiments between them were deep. Likewise, they were also filled with reverence for Qingyun Sect. Right now, it had only been for the purpose of this trifling matter, and they had unexpectedly been dealt such a ruthless hand by someone else. How couldnât the shopkeeper blame himself?
However, the ones he deeply hated were nevertheless these three complaining people.
Although it was out of the question to say that the food in the restaurant was the peak of exquisite cuisine, it absolutely wasnât garbage. Otherwise, there wouldnât have been so many repeat customers.
These three people were intolerable tyrants!
At that moment, a person whoâd just been instructed by the shopkeeper swiftly left this place. This person went to notify the Inner Sect disciple who backed them, and to let some other people in the restaurant provide critical care for those few guards. As for the shopkeeper himself, he steeled his heart and continued to confront those three people. He was prepared to die.
Seeing all this, Gu Zuoâs heart also couldnât bear it.
The injuries of those guards were within his capabilities of saving â It was also a coincidence. Recently, in order to facilitate the smooth survival of his big brother Gongyi Tianheng in Deer Blood Mountain Range, he had refined numerous types of medicines that focused on healing injuries.
Revitalization Pills mostly treated external wounds and common internal wounds. For such cases where the internal organs were almost scrambled into a ball, his newly-refined Viscera Growth Pill had the best effects. So long as one used a high grade pill, it could allow the internal organs to disentangle and recover back to normal at the fastest speeds.
As a matter of fact, Gu Zuo even possessed medicinal pills that could treat bone pearls â If the bone pearls were only cracked, then there wouldnât be any problems at all. If the bone pearls were completely shattered, then one could save the stability of the acupoints, which would allow those martial artists to start over from the beginning. Moreover, because of the preservation of the medicinal power, it would greatly cut down on the time it would take to regain their realms.
It was just thatâŠ
Gu Zuoâs hesitation consisted of this â While he wouldnât be stingy with a few of these medicinal pills, once he acted, would it cause trouble for his big brother? Actually, he was confident in using a type of method that would deliver the medicinal pills with no one the wiser. However, if the Viscera Growth Pill was later sold in Medicine of Life, then those three people would become aware of this if they paid a bit more attention. Ultimately, Gu Zuo was afraid that it was better to stay hidden and to not interfere.
Unless, aside from to his close friends and allies, he didnât let the Viscera Growth Pill become known to the public.
This was a loss of some wealth, but it could ensure their safety and security⊠Because he currently wasnât short of money, Gu Zuo made up his mind.
Indeed. Gu Zuoâs sense of belonging to Qingyun Sect wasnât that large, but Qingyun Sect had treated him and his big brother very well. Upon seeing this kind of matter, keeping a unified front against external threats was to be expected.
If he witnessed a death without trying to save a life, his heart would develop some emotional knots later on.
However, while the Viscera Growth Pill was fine, the Bone Origin Pill, which could restore oneâs bone pearls, was a little bit too special, so taking them both out wasnât appropriate. It was enough that he acted to save their lives.
In the blink of an eye, he made his decision. The expression in Gu Zuoâs eyes moved slightly, and his line of sight was cast towards the bodies of those few, fainted martial artists.
The situations of those martial artists werenât good. Granted that some shop assistants had worked hard to stuff medicinal pills into their mouths, their faces were still like metallic paper. Clearly, the pills werenât useful at all.
Gu Zuoâs thoughts moved. A jade bottle suddenly appeared from his sleeve, and there were four Viscera Growth Pills inside. After that, he used his psychic power to bundle it up. Without making a sound, it edged around many of the restaurantâs overlooked areas, and slid all the way down. At last, it stopped next to the foot of a certain martial artist who had fallen to the ground.
Among the shop assistants helping on the side, one of them promptly detected it.
They looked all around, but didnât discover anyone else. However, they also werenât stupid. Naturally, they immediately understood that this was the assistance of an expert. While they were mentally guarded, at this point, they would even
give medicine to a dead horse
. They swiftly took out the medicinal pills, and stuffed a pill in each personâs mouth â At any rate, someone wouldnât go so far as to deliberately play a joke at this time, right?
Following this, the shop assistantsâ faces showed joyous smiles.
As it turned out, once those medicinal pills were each rigidly stuffed into those fainted martial artistsâ mouths, their complexions rapidly improved at speeds visible to the naked eye. Not long after, their breathing gradually became smooth and unhindered!
A shop assistant grabbed a wrist of one of the martial artists, and promptly sensed that the otherâs pulse was stabilizing. In an instant, his mind settled.
This was truly, truly amazing!
Something good happened on this side, and something unexpected happened on that side.
When the shopkeeper confronted those three people, the miserable conditions of the couple of guards were a ghastly sight. Among the others in the restaurant, there were many Qingyun Sect disciples. Naturally, they also felt hatred towards a common enemy. It was just that their strengths were largely inferior to those three people. As a result, they glared at the three, but didnât have any means to act in the least.
However, while the people on the first floor were helpless, it didnât mean that the people on the second floor couldnât do anything, too.
With so much noise and activity below, people also walked out from some private seats and booths on the second floor. As chance had it, among the people who were eating here today, there really was an Earth Leaderboard powerhouse from the Inner Sect.
That shopkeeper definitely wasnât a person who couldnât make plans. He was well aware of the customers with status in the restaurant. While staking his own life, he also didnât forget to save himself.
Hence, the shop assistant was originally instructed to go up and notify them. Who wouldâve thought that the Earth Leaderboard powerhouse in a private booth would personally hear the commotion and come out. On the contrary, there was no need to make a request, and that shop assistantâs way of speaking changed. He swiftly told this Earth Leaderboard powerhouse about this matterâs course of events.
The Earth Leaderboard powerhouse automatically became enraged.
The next moment, a young man with a dignified and serious countenance brought along a few comrades to the side of the second floor. He gave a severe shout: âWho dares injure the disciples of my Qingyun Sect? Donât tell me that you all donât want to live?!â
When these words were spoken, the faces of the shop assistants and the shopkeeper all wore grateful looks.
Most of those who worked here were all relatively mediocre. They were Outer Sect disciples who couldnât enter the Inner Sect. Usually, when speaking of the Inner Sect, they would consciously lower their heads. There was even an opinion that Outer Sect disciples werenât true Qingyun Sect disciples. And the arrival of this Earth Leaderboard powerhouse was an acknowledgement of their identities. Regardless of the amount of sincerity within, this greatly eased their hearts. Not to mention, this Earth Leaderboard powerhouse clearly came out to vent their anger, which made them harbor good impressions and respect.
Gu Zuo also looked at that Earth Leaderboard powerhouse, and found his appearance stately and his qi emissions deep and resounding. He was also a Xiantian stage eight powerhouse. Among the five people following behind, not only were there two more Xiantian stage eights and two Xiantian stage sevens, there was even a Xiantian stage nine! It could be seen that these couple of people belonged to a group. Their personal friendships were considerably good.
But in the end, what identities did these people have? What rank did that powerhouse have on the Earth Leaderboard?
Very quickly, these questions were answered. As it turned out, these people were members of the Wild Martial Arts Society, which was one of the few great powers on the Inner Sectâs Earth Leaderboard. The founder was He Yinlong, the Earth Leaderboardâs number one. As for the present Earth Leaderboard powerhouse, he ranked seventh, and was also He Yinlongâs biological younger brother, He Xianglong.
During this time, He Xianglong was, on behalf of his elder brother He Yinlong, communicating and fostering relations with a few great experts. He didnât anticipate encountering this kind of matter here. With the reputation of their Wild Martial Arts Society, it naturally came to this conclusion.
Merely, amid everyoneâs spirited discussions, the identities of the few Wild Martial Arts Society members were revealed. However, those three people, who were shown the identities, still couldnât care any less.
âWild Martial Arts Society? Whatâs that? The trash of Qingyun Sect was hurt, but what can you do about it?â
T/N: To clarify, He Yinlong and He Xianglongâs surname is äœ, while the He Clanâs surname is éč€.
