Linjiang City
“Where’s the Patrol Departnt you ntioned? How long had it been? why hasn’t he shown up?”
Chu Sen sat opposite Qin Lei and mocked.
Qin Lei didn’t mind. He said calmly, “The ti has not co yet. While there is still ti, I advise you to consider what I have said.”
“Heh… impossible. Do you know how much money is involved here?” Chu Sen sneered, “According to your estimation, conservatively speaking, I would have to pay around three thousand taels of silver extra per month to the Snake
Gate.”
“Up to thirty thousand taels a year. Do you think it’s possible to purchase at the normal price?”
The money they give to snake breeders these days is very little, only about one-fiftieth of the actual value of the snake. This was the only way to ensure that the Snake Gate disciples had sufficient cultivation resources and did not have to think of ways to earn money.
After tasting such sweetness, how could they buy snakes at a high price? Qin Lei shook his head and said, “It’s up to you. Anyway, there are still five days. I will report this matter to the higher-ups. It doesn’t matter if the Patrol Departnt manages it or not. I don’t want this benefit of mine. I can’t help you with anything.”
Chu Sen frowned. Qin Lei was a very greedy person. His actions were indeed unusual. But purchasing at a normal price… was impossible.
In the past, when they didn’t use such malicious thods, the Snake Gate had limited cultivation resources. The disciples fought each other for even a tiny bit of resources.
To obtain more cultivation resources, they had to hunt and kill monsters in the Bai Duan Mountains, exchanging them for money and obtaining more resources.
The Bai Duan Mountains were extrely dangerous. While hunting monsters, they themselves beca the prey of those monsters. Naturally, many disciples of the Snake Gate died in the Bai Duan Mountains.
Later on, they ca up with a thod of breeding snakes. It was too troubleso to raise them themselves, so they started having ordinary people raise them.
When ordinary people heard that there was money, they were also willing. So Snake Gate could obtain cultivation resources at a lower cost.
At first, they purchased snakes at a normal price, around five taels of silver per snake. But as the Snake Gate continued to develop and the strength of their disciples and the sect leader grew, they needed more snake gallbladders and snake venom for cultivation.
However, they did not have enough money to let the commoners raise more. So soone thought of lowering the price.
They gradually reduced the price from five taels of silver to fifty wen per snake.
The purchase price dropped from five thousand wen to fifty wen. When the risk and the rewards were not proportional, the common people naturally refused to sell.
Snake Gate had also thought of a way. They joined forces with the Martial Suppression Division and the county magistrate to issue a mandatory mission to each household to complete a certain number of rearing tasks.
If they couldn’t complete the tasks, the disciples of the Snake Gate would co and give them a beating.
In other words, even if they didn’t want to raise snakes, they had to. If they didn’t, they would be beaten. Gradually, this created the current situation in Linjiang City.
The people complained, but no one stood up for them.
County City
After the announcent was made, the Martial Suppression Division of the city moved and stood guard on the streets.
If a fight broke out, they would stop it imdiately.
Even so, there were still many conflicts between the martial artists and the various sects.
In the martial world… When a battle began, it was difficult to stop if no one was defeated. Especially the disciples of so sects. If they were bullied by the other party today, they could call people to fight back tomorrow.
How could it not be chaotic?
Su Yang guarded one of the streets with the Martial Suppression Division. Not long after it started, the sound of fighting ca from the direction of the inn.
When Su Yang went over, he saw two groups of people fighting fiercely. One side had six people, while the other side had twelve. The fight was intense.
From the conversations among the onlookers.
These two groups were the disciples of the Ziyue Sect and the Qingyang Sect. The two sects had a feud with each other, and they started fighting after a few words.
In the fierce battle, most of the tables and chairs in the inn were destroyed.
“Stop!”
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, the soldiers of the Martial Suppression Division guards dispersed the crowd and shouted loudly.
With the intervention of Martial Suppression Division, this battle ended here.
However, neither side was willing to back down and they stared at each other with a determination to continue.
“I’ll let you off today. In the future, I’ll definitely kill you all.” Soone in the Ziyue Sect said fiercely.
“If it weren’t for the Martial Suppression Division stopping , I would have hacked you to death today.” The Qingyang Sect was not willing to be outdone and replied ruthlessly.
After the two sides finished speaking, they wanted to leave with their people.
“Hold on.”
A sudden voice erged, causing both groups to pause and turn their gaze in the direction of the voice.
A person walked out from a group of the Martial Suppression Division soldiers. He had a handso face and was very young, but his bearing was extraordinary.
Su Yang looked at the two groups of people and said coldly, “Everyone, you’ve beaten this place up like this. Do you want to leave just like that?”
Qi Feng from the Ziyue Sect stepped forward and questioned, “Oh? And what do you want?”
Qi Feng from the Purple Yue Sect stepped forward and questioned, “Oh? And what do you want?”
Soon, a shopkeeper separated the crowd and walked respectfully to Su Yang.
“I am the shopkeeper. Greetings, sir.”
The surrounding onlookers, including martial artists and sect disciples, were curious about what was happening. They wondered what this imperial dog of the court was up to.
“Calculate the damages in your inn,” Su Yang said.
“Sir, please wait.” The innkeeper imdiately understood what Su Yang ant and imdiately took action.
ng Heng from the Qingyang Sect frowned, unsure of what to do, but not willing to wait around.
“Let’s go. Ignore this person.” After saying that, ng Heng tried to leave.
In the next second, a sword appeared in front of ng Heng. It easily stopped right in front of his neck.
ng Heng’s body stiffened and he didn’t dare to move. The cold chill that belonged to the long sword spread out from his neck. For a mont, he felt that the blood flow in his body beca extrely slow.
The sword moved away and gently patted ng Heng’s cheek. It caused minimal harm but carried a strong sense of humiliation.
ng Heng’s face turned red.
“Co back and stand still,” Su Yang remained in place but gently reminded him.
ng Heng’s face turned red. He turned around and looked at Su Yang, who was also extrely young. His mind was in turmoil. He was embarrassed and angry, but it seed nothing compared to the feeling of death. When the cold sword intent slashed across his neck, he really felt like he was going to die.
The surrounding spectators were also silent for a mont. After a mont, soone could not help but ask. “How did he deliver that strike? Did you see it clearly?”
“This person didn’t move, did he?”
“Sword intent! You fools, couldn’t you see it?”
“What? Does that an he can easily reach the Grandmaster level?”
“Who is he?”
The onlookers, including the spectators and disciples from various sects, all focused their attention on Su Yang. They were astonished by his young age and the display of his remarkable strength.
During the conversation, no one knew Su Yang’s identity and background, which made everyone even more curious.
ng Heng stood rooted to the ground, not daring to move. Between his own life and his pride, he chose his life.
Su Yang didn’t say anything harsh to him. He just told him not to move.
However, the more Su Yang said that the more ng Heng dared not make a move.
When he left ho, his master told him, “Few words are spoken by ruthless people!”
