Chapter 27: Entering the City

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the inner courtyard of Ferocious Tiger Fist Dojo

A group of direct disciples exchanged blows in the courtyard. Lu Chuanfeng watched from the side and occasionally gave some pointers.

The other disciples watched the battle from the side and cheered loudly.

Occasionally, one or two people would step forward to challenge him, but most of them got quickly defeated.

Lu Chuanfeng had three junior brothers. Since they got along, they settled down here and taught their disciples martial arts.

If any of their disciples performed well, they would also transfer them to Lu Chuanfeng.

After all, they did not have deep ties with the sect like Lu Chuangfeng, so they could not obtain many medicinal pills and resources.

This time, Lu Li and two other disciples went to the sect tournament. Thanks to Lu Chuanfeng, they gained many benefits and improved in strength.

After returning, Tan Fei and the other two uncle-masters exchanged a few moves with them. However, they stopped fighting before long, afraid that they would lose face.

Zhou You did not leave after delivering the medicine. He stayed at the side to watch the battle.

Ever since he became Cheng Yiqing’s disciple, he had been recognized by the dojo as one of their own. There was no harm in watching the disciples practice martial arts.

“Eighth Brother, that was good.”

Meng Tianyang easily forced Luo Jin back with a palm strike. He retreated to Lu Chuanfeng’s side and spoke softly.

“Master, I’ve already asked around. The two people from last night were called Qi Shan and Qi Lin. They were originally figures in the green forest of Qizhou. Later, they caused trouble and fled to Yuanzhou. They were recruited by the Imperial Court and entered the office of the Patrol Division.”

The Meng family’s intelligence network was far better than the Ferocious Tiger Fist Dojo.

“Someone from the Patrol Division? Since they appeared in Mengyang City, there should be a patrol inspector here, right?”

Lu Chuanfeng raised his eyebrows. “Are there still inspectors who dare to patrol the area? Aren’t they afraid of being robbed and drowned?”

Lu Chuanfeng did not deliberately lower his voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, laughter immediately sounded in the inner courtyard.

Although the Yuan family controlled 63 states, the country still belonged to Dayuan Dynasty.

However, the Yuan family was the Yuan family.

The Dayuan Imperial Court was the Dayuan Imperial Court.

The Yuan family was publicly acknowledged as the number one aristocratic family in the land.

As for the Dayuan Imperial Court… It was nothing!

Then again, it was not entirely true. To say the least, the country succeeded in promoting the nine ranks of martial arts.

It corresponded to the ninth grade system of classifying aristocratic families and sects.

The Ferocious Tiger Fist Dojo was actually a Rank-6 sect, but no one inside or outside had ever called it that. Instead, they regarded it as a force under the Five Tigers Sect.

Sects below Rank-4 were often collectively called unranked.

There were also state lords and county lords, which were generally recognized by the states and counties.

All the state lords were Rank-1 officials.

The county lords under the state lord ranged from Rank-2 to Rank-4.

Rank-4 was a threshold. It was considered a high rank and had the qualifications to build a city and gather people.

The City Lord of Mengyang City was a Rank-3 County Lord.

Of the 33 counties in Baizhou, it belonged to Central County.

According to the duties of the Patrol Division, they had the right to patrol the area and impeach the county lord.

But… it had been a long time since there was such a hard-headed patrol inspector.

After laughing for a while, Lu Chuanfeng raised his hand to stop him and looked at Meng Tianyang.

“Then it seems that our patrol inspector doesn’t know the rules very well. He didn’t even come to visit and even wanted to show off his strength. Isn’t he afraid of spraining his ankle?”

“Tianyang, it’s rare to see such an insensible patrol inspector. How do we want to handle it this time?”

His tone was filled with mockery.

Last night, he had suddenly encountered two Visceral Tempering martial artists of unknown origins who had come to provoke him. Lu Chuanfeng had been worried for a while, afraid that he had inadvertently provoked someone.

After knowing that it was someone from the Patrol Division, he was relieved.

The Patrol Division was the face of the Dayuan Dynasty, so they still cared about their reputation.

“How? Let’s go by the same old rules. The people from the Patrol Division have a lot of grease. We can provide them with good food and drinks first. Once they run out of money, they can get their asses back to Yuanzhou.”

Meng Tianyang looked nonchalant. He glanced at his master and said with a smile. “If you are not satisfied, the mountain road near Mengyang City is steep and difficult to walk on. It’s completely normal for two people to fall to their deaths, right?”

Every eight to ten years, a patrol inspector would come.

The Meng family already knew how to handle them.

Upon seeing his master’s satisfied expression, Meng Tianyang continued, “By the way, Master, this patrol inspector has already sent an invitation this morning. He will enter the city in the afternoon to pay a visit to Eldest Uncle. Do you want to go?”

Meng Tianyang’s eldest uncle was naturally the City Lord, Meng Chaoyun.

It was not like he had never seen a patrol inspector before. What was there to see?

Lu Chuanfeng was about to refuse when he saw the curious expressions of the surrounding disciples. He pondered for a moment and said, “I won’t be going to the City Lord’s Manor. Which route does the patrol inspector plan to take? I can take a look from afar and see what kind of person he is.”

“He’s an official of the Imperial Court, so he naturally has to use the main bridge and enter through the main entrance.”

Meng Tianyang pondered for a moment and said, “Master, let’s go to Full Moon Inn where the view is broad.”

“Okay.”

…

In the afternoon.

On the sixth floor of Full Moon Inn.

A group of people sat in front of the window, chatting and laughing. From time to time, they would greet their peers who had appeared from the stairs not far away.

It was true.

After learning that the patrol inspector had entered the city, many people came to watch the show.

Not only the Ferocious Tiger Fist Dojo, but the other three dojos, two gangs, and some small factions had also come.

The White Crane Fist Dojo was a branch of the Thousand Crane Sect. Although its power was inferior to the Five Tigers Sect, they were quite on par with each other.

The disciples of the White Crane Fist Dojo were dressed in white. There were various accessories embedded in their collars and sleeves. Most of them were slender and good-looking. There were many female disciples among them.

A few of them looked familiar. They were girls from the Meng family who had attended the welcoming banquet last night.

A few gazes kept darting back and forth between the Ferocious Tiger Fist Dojo and the White Crane Fist Dojo, looking at each other affectionately.

The Iron Skin Dojo’s disciples were dressed in black. One look and one could tell that they were capable and powerful. Zhou You was slightly more familiar with them. He immediately saw Lin Yu, who was surrounded like a star.

Two months had passed, and Lin Yu had grown much taller. His body had also swelled up, and he no longer looked thin and weak. Instead, he was filled with strength.

What caught Zhou You’s attention was that Lin Yu had already completed his Body Forging and was beginning to do Bone Forging.

The speed of his improvement made Zhou You feel a rare sense of defeat.

People with special physiques were so enviable.

He still had to train hard to condense internal force to stimulate and strengthen his muscles.

As long as a person with innate divine strength ate voraciously, they could transform nutrients into muscles. Moreover, they could easily mobilize the strength of all the muscles in their body to condense it into internal force. Then, they could strengthen their skin, muscles, and bones, and their strength would advance by leaps and bounds.

A little further away from the west of the river were the disciples of the Diamond Dojo. They were dressed in yellow and most of them had broad shoulders and round arms. Also, they were tall.

There were even a few people whose fat on their necks and stomachs trembled as they walked, making people wonder if they could make a move.

Similarly, they also practiced external martial arts. The Iron Skin Dojo had taken root among the lower classes and developed a short-term crash course. The commoners could also learn it for a period of time with just a bit of money.

Most of the porters and laborers at the docks had learned martial arts at the Iron Skin Dojo.

The disciples of the Diamond Dojo were mainly from wealthy families in the city. Their families were rich, but they were not talented enough. They loved to cause trouble.

Not far from the Diamond Dojo was the Black Stone Gang. They were dressed in black and had embroidered patterns on their chests to distinguish them.

Recently, the Black Stone Gang and the Dark Shark Gang were fighting outside the city. The gang members held their heads high and puffed out their chests, their fighting spirits high.

On the other hand, the White Sand Gang, which was separated by a river, lowered their heads looking defeated. They were listless and only occasionally looked in the direction of the bridge with slight gloating in their eyes.

All the factions and people were here to see the patrol inspector make a fool of himself.

There were also some people who looked at the Full Moon Inn.

The Patrol Division crashed their party last night. How would Tiger Lu react to the incident?
