“What? All I know was that that sl*t ambushed and killed Sect Leader before stealing the sect’s sacred relic. Young Sect Leader, what do you mean by asking me this?” Aunt Yi was shocked. Could it be that Yi Li had noticed something? It was impossible. She was definitely not careless with her story. Qing Lingyan’s matter was also done flawlessly. How could she have noticed anything? Luckily, Aunt Yi was quick-witted and did not panic as she pretended to be at a loss.
“It’s nothing. Let’s find a place to rest. We’ll find another opportunity in a few days,” Yi Li calmly replied and did not say anything else.
...
The next morning, Ling Chuxi and the others left Thousand Kills City which had already been planted with the flag of Sword Heart Gang. Thus, it had been renamed Sword Heart City.
Not long after, Zhang Shizhao and the others rushed to the Sword Heart City to appease the citizens. Zhang Shizhao could not help but sigh as he looked at the tall city tower. The Zhang family’s ancestors had worked hard for generations before they managed to get a foothold in Kaiyuan City. But Ling Chuxi had only arrived at Qianzhong Ridge for a few days and had already taken over such a big city. With the support of the powers in Huifeng Ridge, the reputation of Sword Heart Gang had risen. No one would dare to underestimate it now.
Zhang Shizhao did not lament for long before another surprise came.
The closest city to Sword Heart City was Broken Moon City, which was only a few hundred miles away. As the saying went, one mountain could not accommodate two tigers. This was also the main reason the two sects had been fighting endlessly.
Ling Chuxi and the others had just reached the middle of their journey when they received news that Broken Moon Gang had also been exterminated. Ling Chuxi had already guessed this so she was not surprised at all. In any case, she was willing to accept however many cities thrown her way. Before entering the city, she had already asked Zhou Kaitai to think of a way to inform Zhang Shizhao to take Broken Moon City as well. After all, the blame for Broken Moon Gang’s extermination would fall on them anyway, just as it did with Thousand Kills Gang.
Before Zhang Shizhao could recover from his lamentation, he had arrived with his people in Broken Moon City with a pleasant surprise.
By the afternoon, the tall and ancient city tower of Broken Moon City appeared in their sights. It was still early, so Ling Chuxi and her group went into the city to rest and have lunch. Sleeping out in the open would only be asking for trouble so they looked for a restaurant and inn in the city.
Just as Ling Chuxi and the others entered the city, dust and smoke billowed as another group of people came aggressively toward Broken Moon City on horseback. There were about a dozen boorish-looking men. The long blades on their backs revealed their long hilts. At first glance, they looked somewhat similar to the battle blades of the Gongxi clan, full of arrogance.
“They’re from the Kuangdao family,” said Zhou Kaitai to Ling Chuxi with a slight frown.
The Kuangdao family was one of the top four forces in Qianzhong Ridge. Their strength was far from that of others like Thousand Kills Gang and Broken Moon Gang, much less those of Huifeng Ridge.
“What are they doing in Broken Moon City?” asked Su Yizhi.
“They probably want to take advantage of the situation, but this time, they’re going to be disappointed,” said Ling Chuxi calmly. Judging from these people’s actions, they probably wanted to take over Broken Moon City, but why should they make way for the oncoming group? She wasn’t that generous.
The two sides stopped at the city gate at the same time and looked at each other with unfriendly expressions. The people of the Kuangdao family were arrogant and had a valiant air about them. The people of Sword Heart Gang weren’t weak either.. Their expressions were cold and solemn as they hid their killing intent.
