75: The Power of the Dragon Abyss Nine Dynasties Sword

“After I undergo the test.

“If I think your strength is good.

“And your character is decent.

“I will naturally recruit you.

“As long as you enter my Zhaoxian Pavilion.

“Our Yang family will take care of your food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

“Your family will also be taken care of by our Yang family.

“You will also be given a certain salary every month.

“So you won’t have to worry about food and drink.

“And can enjoy all the pleasures of life.”

Listening to Zhong Mingyi’s introduction.

The crowd couldn't help but stir.

Because Zhong Mingyi’s words had swayed many hearts.

Especially those who lacked ability.

They wanted to join the Hall of Seeking Talents even more.

To live off others and wait for death.

Those with ability, however, scoffed.

Zhong Mingyi spoke nicely.

Providing food and drink.

And taking care of life and death.

But he didn't say what one had to do after joining the Zhaoxian Pavilion.

Even if he didn't say it.

Everyone knew full well.

It was a job where one put their life on the line.

Perhaps the Yang family would send you to do something.

And you would lose your life.

This errand was not so easy to do.

“Can I join the Zhaoxian Pavilion?”

A local ruffian from Tian Yuan City raised his hand.

And shouted at Zhong Mingyi.

Zhong Mingyi didn't know this person.

But seeing that he was strong and powerful.

He should have some ability.

Just as he was about to ask about this person's Realm.

A child behind him quietly reminded Zhong Mingyi.

“He’s just a local ruffian.

“He has no Realm.”

Zhong Mingyi’s face darkened.

He glared at the ruffian who had just spoken and said:

“Not just anyone can enter our Zhaoxian Pavilion.

“You must have a certain level of cultivation.

“Do you have cultivation?”

The ruffian pouted.

And grumbled:

“You didn’t say there were any requirements!

“You made me happy for nothing.

“It seems your Zhaoxian Pavilion isn't a good place after all.”

“Going there probably means risking my life, right?”

Zhong Mingyi’s eyes widened.

And he grinned, saying:

“Isn’t that obvious?

“We provide you with food and drink.

“We take care of your family.

“And we take care of you from birth to death.

“If you don’t do anything.

“Why would we support you?

“Do you think you’re the Buddha?”

Zhang Maolin listened to Zhong Mingyi talking endlessly.

And occasionally glanced at him.

He finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Zhong Mingyi, why isn’t your Yang family’s Patriarch coming out?

“Why send you and five children out?

“Are you trying to trap me with the strength of you six?

“If that’s truly the case.

“Then you’ve greatly underestimated me.”

Zhong Mingyi rubbed his nose.

And unstrapped the Dragon Abyss Nine Dynasties Sword from his back.

Under everyone’s gaze, he slowly raised the Dragon Abyss Nine Dynasties Sword.

When this sword was raised.

Even the sun paled in comparison.

As if there was only one thing in this world.

That was this sword.

The sword had not yet unleashed any powerful force.

But everyone could already sense its terror.

Just as everyone was staring at the sword.

Zhong Mingyi’s wrist suddenly dropped rapidly.

The Dragon Abyss Nine Dynasties Sword also gently slashed down.

With just a gentle stroke.

Everyone felt dizzy.

Nine different colored Divine Dragons.

Burst forth from within the sword.

Roaring as they charged towards Zhang Maolin.

Their bodies twisted together.

Like a giant sword.

With a loud bang.

A deep pit was blasted open in front of Zhang Maolin.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

The surrounding people were blasted sprawling.

Some were directly killed.

The scene was too horrific to behold.

In the teahouse.

Haitang slightly raised her eyebrows.

And softly scoffed.

“Hmph.

“This guy is truly impressive.”

“How is he impressive?”

The Elder didn’t understand.

Haitang gave a cold smile.

“If you had interacted with him, you would know.

“This guy is glib-tongued.

“And full of tricks.

“But he’s not considered ruthless.

“But look at that sword strike he just made.

“How ruthless it was.

“He even killed innocent people.

“Isn’t that impressive?”

The Elder snorted coldly.

Disapprovingly.

“Don’t forget his identity.

“He is the son of the Dragon Tiger City Lord.

“I heard he used to be a dissolute young master.

“Often bullying and humiliating others.

“How could someone like him have compassion?

“How could he care about the crowd of onlookers around him?

“I never thought he was a good person.

“Do you think he’s a kind person?”

Haitang was speechless.

In this regard, he was far inferior to the Elder.

In judging people, the Elder was more accurate.

But he also had times when he misjudged, like Yang Yi.

Yang Yi was someone he had misjudged.

However, the reason he misjudged him.

Was because he had experienced too many storms.

And too many things.

Leading him to think about things from multiple angles.

This also led him to make misjudgments on certain matters.

While the two were talking about Zhong Mingyi.

Zhong Mingyi had already put away the Dragon Abyss Nine Dynasties Sword.

And walked to the edge of the deep pit.

Looking down.

He chuckled.

Then turned to the children and said:

“Let’s go back.”

The five children looked eagerly at the edge of the deep pit.

Wanting to see what was inside.

But Zhong Mingyi had already gone back.

The few of them, somewhat unhappy, followed him.

The gates of the Yang family closed heavily.

The onlookers whispered among themselves.

Not knowing whether Zhang Maolin was alive or dead.

However, since Zhong Mingyi could return so casually.

Zhang Maolin was probably doomed.

Everyone gathered at the edge of the deep pit.

And looked down.

First, they were startled by the depth of the pit.

It was about ten meters deep.

A massive Qi remained within the deep pit.

A faint smell of blood wafted up from above.

No one could find Zhang Maolin.

Only some dismembered limbs were visible.

“Zhang Maolin just died like that?”

“He was an Elder of the Zhang family.”

“He died too easily, didn’t he?

“Could it be that the Yang family is really going to rise up?”

“Can the Zhang family really not deal with the Yang family anymore?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?

“Only one Elder came.

“The Zhang family has countless Elders like him.”

“Can they kill one, can they kill ten?”

“Even if they kill ten.”

“The Zhang family still has stronger existences than Zhang Maolin.”

“Can their Yang family kill those people?”

“What you said makes sense.”

“But the Yang family actually has so many powerful experts.”

“Why didn’t they send that group of people over?”

“Why only send Zhang Maolin over?”

“This is clearly not normal.”

“I don’t think the Yang family can be destroyed by the Zhang family.”

A wealthy merchant living near the Yang family.

Sighed with a dejected look.

“I don’t care about the Zhang family and the Yang family’s affairs.”

“Right now, I just want to know how this deep pit will be filled.

“Who will fill it.”

“If it’s not filled.”

“It will affect everyone’s walking.”

“At a time like this.”

“You still have the leisure to care about such things.”
