Chapter: 952 (2/2)

“Brother, what are you thinking? I’ll deal with this myself. However, I’d like to trouble you help send a message to Demon Gate. Let them know that I’ll be waiting in Central Continent’s “Central Continent Inn” for them. I’ll give them two days. If they don’t come by then, I’ll leave.” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“Younger brother, Demon Gate is very strong…”

“Brother, don’t worry. If I were to need your help, I wouldn’t stand on ceremony either,” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“Alright!” Tang Wude replied helplessly and immediately gave out instructions to get the job done.

Central Continent Inn was the most special inn in Central Continent. It was because this inn was jointly set up by countless powerful factions in the area. There was also a huge arena set up not far away from it.

Central Continent Inn was only open to cultivators who were at least Martial Kings. This subconsciously caused it to be seen as a top notch inn. Moreover, considering how it was jointly set up by major influences in Central Continent, being able to patronize the inn itself was a strong representation of one’s status.

On the way here, Qing Shui hadn’t been there. However, the reason he chose that place was also because Demon Gate was one of the co-owners of the place. Furthermore, since they had an arena there, it was also quite convenient.

The reason Qing Shui had taken an active approach was because he knew that Demon Gate wouldn’t be sending their highest level cultivators. This time around, he wanted to give them a warning publicly, letting them be unable to do anything, even if they were to suffer a humiliation. Sometimes, one who had nothing to lose would even be able to beat those who did.

Qing Shui went to Central Continent Inn before it turned dark. The place was very grand but wasn’t very high. It just looked very sturdy, likely because it took up a lot of land.

It was very easy to enter. He would just need to prove that his ability was at least at Martial King. Moreover, with Tang Wude with him, there wasn’t any need for him to prove himself. There were two Peak Martial King cultivators standing guard at the entrance. And even though many people entered and exited the place every day, the two guards would be able to sense if they were Martial King level. Having stood here for a prolonged period had also caused their spiritual senses to be even more sensitive than before.

Upon entering, Qing Shui realized that the decoration was about the same as Heavenly Cloud Pavilion’s but it was structured with a rectangular corridor concept, with the center being like a hall while the surroundings are all rooms.

A silk embroidered carpet was laid out along the corridors and this was the only thing around that seemed luxurious. After Qing Shui got his room, Tang Wude wanted to stay to accompany Qing Shui, but was persuaded by the latter to head back.

“Brother, you represent Tang Manor. It won’t be good to let Demon Gate see you here now,” Qing Shui advised Tang Wude to leave.

“What’s there to be afraid of? I’m already prepared to fight them.”

Qing Shui knew that Tang Manor’s overall abilities were definitely not a match for Demon Gate. While there might be experts in Tang Manor, their abilities would definitely be not too far away from the Fifth Master Tang’s.

“It won’t be too late for you to come out when I need help. It’s best to not have a direct confrontation between Tang Manor and Demon Gate. After all, if that were to happen, things would blow up very quickly,” Qing Shui smiled and said.

Tang Wude eventually did leave!

Qing Shui’s room was on the third floor and he went straight to the hall on the third floor. He found a location next to the corridor and took his seat. Although the Central Continent Inn was only open to those who were Martial King or above, it was still fully packed. At least 80% of the seats in this hall were filled.

“Did you guys hear? Members of Marionette Sect have been killed. To think that Marionette Sect is unable to fight against him and can only seek help from Demon Gate.” Not long after Qing Shui sat down, he heard a voice which lit up his interest.

“3rd Brother, stop spouting rubbish. One is bound to have a slip of tongue if he speaks too much,” a middle-aged man next to the young man spoke up.

“What’s there to be afraid of? Everyone’s talking about it. Moreover, it’s not as if it’s some big secret.”

“That’s right, 2nd Brother, 3rd Brother. It’s said that the one who killed Marionette Sect’s Grand Elder was a young man.”

“That’s right. But the young man is really unlucky to be coming across a big sect like Demon Gate. If I were him, I’d definitely not pass by here. Demon Gate has already sent out instructions to intercept that young man.”

…

Qing Shui sat there, drinking wine while listening in on the conversations around him, but didn’t say a word. Some people were curious about Qing Shui, but there were also many others who were like him, sitting there alone by themselves. Therefore, after seeing that Qing Shui hadn’t had any actions for very long, they retrieved their gazes.

In the blink of an eye, one day passed by.

This time around, Qing Shui hadn’t expected the other party to be so fast, arriving after just one day, bringing along great pageantry. In fact, before Demon Gate arrived, news had long since spread out.

When more than ten of Demon Gate’s Divine Black Crows appeared in the far distance, a commotion broke out in the Central Continent Inn. After all, it was hard to meet people from Demon Gate. At the same time, many people secretly offered a silent tribute to that young man who had offended Demon Gate.

At this place, Demon Gate was a terrifying existence. Usually, only those who were so terrifying when they robbed people of their lives would be called demons.

Many people had already walked out of the Central Continent Inn and looked towards the black silhouettes which were closing in.

Qing Shui stood next to a window on the third floor, looking at the big black birds which were getting increasingly close. They were in so black a color that there were no other colors mixed in them and even the people on them were dressed in pitch black clothes.

The crows were 60 meters in size and specialized in speed and endurance. They were the best amongst all rides but they weren’t good for battles.

“Qing Shui, Demon Gate has arrived!” an old sounding voice rang out.
