Chapter 392 : Daily Life in a Demon Sect 2 (1/2)

After applying the medicine, Shi Sheng looked at the sword beside her.

Frostmoon, the sword ranked sixth on the list of top weapons.

Because the sword qi[1] it generated was like a crescent moon, it was dubbed Frostmoon.

Shi Sheng examined the sword. It was pretty sharp—but apart from that, there wasn’t anything special about it. Yet, it was this sword that had caused many attempts to be made on Wu Zheng’s life.

After all, it was jianghu! Robbery and murder were commonplace here.

Shi Sheng’s lips slowly rose. She liked worlds like this, where there weren’t any rules and the strongest ruled.

She tossed Frostmoon into her space. She wasn’t used to it, so she wasn’t planning on using it.

Liu Xu came over to check on her several times, but was always chased out by Shi Sheng with a cold face. In the end, she stopped coming.

Once Shi Sheng’s wound was healed and she could start the slaughter, she found that Liu Xu had disappeared for nearly two days already. Shi Sheng had learned it from the inn’s waiter.

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘Plot-sama, what do you mean by this, eh? I could understand you stopping me from killing the leads, but now you’re stopping me from killing an antagonist?! Why don’t you go rescue the Milky Way while you’re at it?!’

Emerging from the inn to the lively crowded street outside, Shi Sheng felt a bit unaccustomed. After all, it was quite jarring to suddenly enter an ancient world after having just been in a modern one.

She stood there for a moment before slowly walking down the street.

Shi Sheng strolled around for a while. It was true that some things were very exquisitely crafted in ancient times, but most things couldn’t compare to a modern society’s.

“Have you heard? Fu Yiyun and Jiang Zhan are going to have a match in Jadewater Village. The number one swordsman and number one demon…it’ll be quite a show!”

Shi Sheng’s steps paused as she turned to look at the beggars squatting by the roadside that were in discussion.

Jiang Zhan…was the Sect Head of the Demon Sect[2] in the original plotline. He was basically the ambassador of irredeemable sinners.

‘This fellow seems to be the biggest villain of the novel?’ Shi Sheng frowned slightly. ‘How come System didn’t delete his information this time?’

“Jadewater Village? When?”

“A month from now. I heard they were sending out invitations to the match too.”

“A pity our Beggars’ Sect doesn’t have much say, so we won’t be able to go.”

[Side Quest: Reformation[3].] System’s sudden appearance caused Shi Sheng’s lips to twitch. ‘What reformation? And a side quest?’

[Lead the Demon Sect to reformation.]

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘If the Demon Sect reforms, is it still the “Demon” Sect? You’re simply upsetting the status quo ah!’

[Host, don’t go getting any ideas.]

Shi Sheng rolled her eyes. ‘And so what if I do? Can you bite me?’

[……] ‘I suddenly regret issuing this quest. Master! Can I please have a function to withdraw quests?!’

Demon sects were the essential villains that appeared in almost every wuxia novel, and this one was no different.

Five years ago, the orthodox sects of the pugilistic world had besieged the Demon Sect. Although they hadn’t been completely exterminated, they had still received a heavy blow.

Their former Sect Head died, and Jiang Zhan took over. In these past few years, there had been plenty of rumours about how he viewed human lives as grass and killed a lot—the type of person everyone despised.

News of the match between Fu Yiyun and the Demon Sect’s Sect Head seemed to grow wings and spread throughout the whole of jianghu.

……

On a road, a carriage drove forward at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.

The driver was a middle-aged man who seemed like an honest type.

Since the hour was getting late, the driver slowed down when he caught sight of a creek.

“Miss, it’s going to be dark soon. How about we rest here for the night?” The driver turned around and carefully asked the carriage’s occupant.

“Oh, sure.” A melodious voice travelled from within. Hearing this, the driver steered the carriage over to a clearing.

Shi Sheng leaned against the carriage and watched him busy himself with setting up camp.
