28: Incompetent rant

“What about my people when I go back?”

Yang Yi asked.

Zhong Yueshan said, “I will find a way to rescue those people.”

“What if you can’t rescue them?”

Yang Yi asked again.

Zhong Yueshan frowned.

“Just a few clansmen.”

“Even if they die, as the family head, you shouldn’t risk yourself.”

“That’s you. I must save them.”

“What if I don’t let you go?”

Zhong Yueshan asked.

“Then we’ll just have to fight.”

Someone behind Zhong Yueshan sneered.

“Aren’t you being too conceited?”

“I know you’re powerful.”

“But you should know how many masters are waiting for you in Huichun Hall.”

“Can you defeat one, or two?”

“You still want to fight us.”

“If you fight us now,”

“even if you win,”

“you’ll probably be seriously injured.”

“How will you go to Huichun Hall to save people then?”

“It’s better to listen to our City Lord.”

“Go back quickly.”

Yang Yi twirled the Seven Injury Divine Sword in his hand.

The blade rested horizontally across his chest.

He was ready for battle.

“You only have two paths now.”

“One, get out of my way.”

“Two, fight me.”

Everyone saw that Yang Yi didn’t know what was good for him.

They were furious.

Is there something wrong with this guy’s brain?

They kindly advised him.

It was fine if he didn’t appreciate it.

But he even spoke wild words.

Giving others two choices.

Didn’t he know?

That he was the one who truly needed to make a choice?

“Since you insist,”

“then I won’t try to persuade you anymore.”

Zhong Yueshan sighed softly.

With a wave of his hand,

he motioned for the people behind him to disperse.

The people behind him glared fiercely at Yang Yi.

Reluctantly, they made way.

Under everyone’s gaze,

Yang Yi continued to walk forward.

Yang Yi arrived at the entrance of Huichun Hall.

At this moment,

thousands of people had already gathered behind Yang Yi.

The ones walking at the very front were Zhong Yueshan and a few others.

This was a very strange phenomenon.

His son was waiting for Yang Yi in Huichun Hall.

But Zhong Yueshan, as the father,

was following the crowd of onlookers.

It sounded a bit ridiculous.

The onlookers also didn’t know what this father and son were thinking.

The son didn’t listen to his father.

The father didn’t help his son.

At the entrance of Huichun Hall,

twelve burly men stood side by side.

Their exposed arms had bulging veins.

Their eyes were like those of wolves and tigers,

large and round, making people afraid to approach.

These twelve burly men were friends invited by the Divine Doctor’s attendant.

As the saying goes, ‘near vermilion, one is stained red; near ink, one is stained black.’

The Divine Doctor’s attendant was a burly man.

His friends were also like him.

Each carried a large ghost-head saber on his back.

There were still traces of blood on the sabers.

It was unknown if they were marks left during forging,

or blood from killing.

These twelve people were considered the first obstacle Zhong Mingyi had set for Yang Yi.

Behind Yang Yi,

someone reminded him,

“These twelve people are the Twelve Arhats.”

“Their individual strength is average,”

“but if they join forces,”

“ordinary people can’t withstand their ghost-head sabers.”

Yang Yi looked back,

but didn’t find who was reminding him.

He thought it was one of Zhong Yueshan’s people,

and didn’t think much of it.

He smiled and nodded at the burly men in front of him.

His Seven Injury Divine Sword lightly swayed,

and Sword Qi burst forth.

Before the twelve burly men could even make a move,

they were wounded by the Sword Qi.

A small sword mark appeared on each person’s wrist,

oozing a small amount of fresh blood.

It was like a red string tied around their wrists.

“The Divine Doctor saved my Yang family.

“For his Face,

“I won’t kill anyone yet.”

“You may retreat.”

The twelve burly men appeared simple and guileless,

but they weren’t foolish.

A single sword strike from the opponent could injure them.

It was clear that his strength was far above theirs.

They immediately moved aside,

clearing the entrance of Huichun Hall.

Just as Yang Yi was about to enter Huichun Hall,

a person suddenly ran out from inside the door.

This person was dressed in a nightgown,

with disheveled hair,

and a hint of panic in his eyes.

“Yang Yi, why did you actually come?”

“It’s all my fault.”

“I said not to let you escort me.”

“But you insisted on sending someone.”

“Now look.”

“They’ve got a handle on us.”

The Divine Doctor said, while helplessly shaking his hands.

Yang Yi smiled without speaking.

This Divine Doctor was truly shrewd.

He didn’t offend anyone.

He deliberately feigned ignorance.

But a net had been laid out in Huichun Hall.

How could he not know?

He was the first to know.

However, Yang Yi didn’t care.

“I’m very pleased that the Divine Doctor cares about me so much.”

“You don’t need to blame yourself.”

“A few mere good-for-nothings can’t harm me.”

“Step aside.”

The last sentence,

Yang Yi spoke as if an elder was talking to a junior.

He lightly waved his hand,

signaling the Divine Doctor to step aside.

Not to hinder him from doing his business.

The Divine Doctor’s mouth twitched,

and he forced a smile.

He came to Zhong Yueshan’s side,

nodded to him,

and whispered, “You have a good son.”

Zhong Yueshan gave a cold smile.

“It doesn’t matter if my son is good or not.”

“What’s important is to have one.”

“You don’t seem to have a son yet, do you?”

This sentence made the Divine Doctor’s Face stiffen.

His smiling Face suddenly turned cold.

He secretly cursed Zhong Yueshan for not knowing what was good for him.

He had greeted him with a smile,

but he was aggressive.

Truly, like father, like son.

None of them were good people.

Just then,

Yang Yi suddenly turned around and asked,

“Everyone, do you know what the next obstacle is?”

The crowd whispered.

Regarding the situation inside Huichun Hall,

they weren’t particularly clear.

But they had heard some rumors.

It was said that

Zhong Mingyi had set up twelve obstacles for Yang Yi.

Each obstacle was more formidable than the last.

It was said that the second obstacle was inside Huichun Hall.

The one guarding it was an assassin from the City Lord’s Mansion.

Zhong Yueshan was quite familiar with the situation inside Huichun Hall.

He genuinely did not want to be an enemy of Yang Yi.

He hoped to resolve the conflict between the two sides with his sincerity.

Even now, he still thought so.

More importantly,

he also wanted to leave a way out for his son.

Yang Yi’s strength was unfathomable.

What if he could continuously break through the obstacles

and reach his son?

Then his son would be in danger.

If he eased relations with Yang Yi now,

then Yang Yi might, for his Face,

not kill his son.

If his son could kill Yang Yi,

then he would have no loss.

And he could gain a good reputation.

It could be said to be the best of both worlds.

“I heard there’s an assassin from my City Lord’s Mansion inside Huichun Hall.”

“This person is extremely fast.”

“A dagger kills invisibly.”

At this point,

he suddenly looked at the Divine Doctor beside him.

“Divine Doctor, you just came out from inside.”

“Did you see anyone?”

The Divine Doctor looked up in thought,

and shook his head, saying, “There’s no one inside Huichun Hall.”

While the two were talking,

Yang Yi had already stepped into Huichun Hall.

The people behind him also swarmed forward,

wanting to squeeze to the entrance to see the situation inside.

The entrance wasn’t very large.

Only the people in front could observe the situation inside.

Those at the back could only listen for sounds.
