Starting My Cultivation With Immortality - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Mount Wu Sword Palace

The five of them went straight to the third floor. After sitting down at a table not far from the east window, they ordered food and wine and ate. They sighed during the meal.

“Senior Brother Ji, the Sword Academy’s trial this time is too much. They actually made us look for a rapist in the vast sea of people.”

“That’s right, Senior Brother. We’ve been looking for that rapist Tu for more than a month but we haven’t even seen him. It would be good if we could fight him with real swords and sabers. We can’t even have a good meal every day.”

‘Ahem, keep your voice down. Mind you the walls have ears.’

Senior Brother Ji, who was the oldest at that time, looked around and realized that other than the old man in Confucian robes, only Yun Su and his children were eating. They were all ordinary people, so he relaxed a little.

“From the location of Rapist Tu’s recent evil deeds, it’s very likely that he’s hiding in the Yuyang area. Yuyang is a rich place. Countless beauties come to play every season. It’s said that this rapist comes every year.”

“Hmph! He’s only at the third level of the Martial Dao. If he committed evil in Yuyang City, I can kill him and complete the trial mission.”

“Chen Li is right. That fellow only bullied ordinary people and humiliated their wives and daughters. Every time he committed a crime, he would kill someone. He deserves to die. If he encountered our Mount Wu Sword Palace, he would definitely flee a hundred miles away.”

“Chen Li, Zhang Jiao, the two of you have the intention to eliminate evil. It’s true but don’t underestimate your opponents. Remember that the martial world is dangerous. Moreover, you’ve only been in the sect for five years. This is your first time going down the mountain to train. Your sword techniques are still lacking.”

Senior Brother Ji spoke sincerely and frowned slightly as if he was under a lot of pressure.

“Senior Brother Ji, you’ve already reached the fourth level of the Martial Dao at such a young age. The so-called experts we’ve encountered in the past half a month can’t even withstand a single strike from you.”

There’s also Ye Ning. He’s the first place in our batch of Sword Palace disciples. His aptitude is extremely shocking. He accumulated Qi in a day and stepped into the first level of the Martial Dao in ten days, shocking the entire Sword Palace. In just three years, he has already broken through to the third level of the Martial Dao and repeatedly challenged those of a higher level. If we really meet that rapist, the three of us will be able to take him down as long as the two of you prevent him from escaping.”

Chen Li, who was the first to speak, said confidently.

As soon as he said this, they all looked at a young man and the girl beside him who had not spoken.

The young man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He had an extraordinary temperament and an indifferent face. He did not talk to anyone but he had a supercilious arrogance. The girl beside him could not be bothered to talk to her fellow disciples. From time to time, she would peek at his side profile.

“Junior Brother Ye Ning, what do you think?”

“Kill!”

Ye Ning spat out a word coldly and the girl beside him became even more engrossed. Senior Brother Ji thought for a moment and didn’t say anything else. After a table of sumptuous meat was served, the six of them started eating

The five of them didn’t speak loudly and they were far away. He Buyu couldn’t quite hear them. Occasionally, a breeze would blow past, bringing a few words with it. He could roughly guess what they were talking about.

“How satisfying it is to wield a sword.”

“You are a dignified top scorer and are also a talented person.”

“They’re just afraid of death. They’re not as carefree as they are when they’re doing justice.”

When Yun Su saw that He Buyu had drunk a few more cups, he felt a little regretful. He thought about how this person had gotten the Top Scorer at such a young age. If he wasn’t good at divination, he might have gone to the capital to take the exam. His words just now proved that this person also had the ambition to rule the country.

The wine went into his heart, turning into bitterness and sorrow.

Everyone who drank understood this feeling, so it was extremely rare for them to have thoughts.

“If you were to exchange a Top Scorer for that kind of life, I wonder how many people would fight over it.

Look at the spring rain in March. It was as picturesque as a poem. The green clothes, the smoke and the rain filled the city. It is extremely beautiful. The tourists on the city wall are the scenery of the two of us sitting on the tall buildings. The spring scenery, the smoke, the river and the rain were also the scenery in the tourists’ eyes.

As the saying goes, the people upstairs look at the people in the city and the people in the city look at the scenery outside of the city. Everyone has their own scenery in their eyes. Actually, they’re all beautiful. It’s probably the same.”

When He Buyu heard this, he slowly raised his head. His eyes, which had become cloudy from drinking, suddenly lit up. He closed his eyes slightly, got up, left his seat, and laughed to the ground.

“Thank you for your guidance, sir.”

“Hehe, there’s no guidance. Since you and I are tea buddies and we’re drinking buddies today, we naturally have to talk about something before tea and after drinking.”

After He Buyu sat down again, the sorrow from before was swept away. He drank three glasses with Yun Su in a row. He was no longer even interested in the people from Mount Wu Sword Palace.

Yun Su, on the other hand, heard the words of the five people clearly. In the time it took to drink a few cups of wine, he had already heard the entire story of these people. The mission of the person from the Mount Wu Sword Palace who had left the mountain to train was to deal with a rapist who had done many evil deeds and escaped time and time again.

“What are you looking at?”

At that moment, the girl from the Sword Palace of Mount Wu suddenly glared at the Confucian-robed old man at the west window and shouted.

“That lecher was always peeking at me. He was leering and had a wicked look in his eye.”

The girl felt as if that gaze was about to burn through her clothes. It was too evil.

As soon as he said this, the other four looked over in unison.

The one called Chen Li grabbed a bamboo chopstick and poured his internal energy into it. He suddenly threw it and with a sharp whoosh, it hit a wine glass on the table of the old man in Confucian clothes and exploded everywhere.

“Look again. Watch your dog eyes.”

The few of them had been chasing after the rapist for more than a month and were holding back their anger. Zhang Jiao even took out a portrait to compare with that person before snorting coldly and putting it away.

The old man seemed to be frightened. He stood up and was about to leave.

At this moment, a loud shout came from downstairs. It was so loud that many people’s ears buzzed. Even the peach blossoms near the ancient city wall were shaken.

“The rapist Tu Zhongshu is on the third floor of the Wenqu Building.”

The five people from Mount Wu Sword Palace were still angry. When they heard this, they first glanced at Yun Su and then at the Confucian elder who was about to get up. They immediately became suspicious. Chen Li and Zhang Jiao rushed over and stopped them.

The remaining three people vaguely occupied a certain position and were about to set up an array to face the enemy.

At that moment, a sudden occurrence happened.

“Help! Someone fell into the water. Help…”

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a few people struggling in the river outside the north wall. A small piece of the wall facing the river had collapsed for some reason. These people had fallen.

The walls were high and the water was deep. At that moment, those who were enjoying the scenery in the rain were mostly scholars. For a moment, no one dared to jump down. They could only shout for help.

Yun Su saw a figure moving quickly away in the rain and his heart skipped a beat.

The river was relatively rapid and in the blink of an eye, the few of them were washed out twenty to thirty feet.

Because of the rain, there were fewer boats on the river. For the moment, there were no boats on the river nearby. Only in the distance, did two boats realize that something was wrong and were trying to row over. However, they were a little late.

“Hahahaha, I was wondering who was chasing me all the way. So it’s the little bastards from the Sword Palace of Mount Wu.”

After being stopped, the old man in Confucian robes took out a soft sword from his waist that was used as a belt. He poured his internal energy into it and suddenly straightened it. He casually slashed out with his sword. Chen Li and Zhang Jiao felt that he was in front of them in an instant. The sword that they had stabbed out could only turn around to block. With a bang, they were sent flying and shattered a few tables and chairs.

Chen Li and Zhang Jiao were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat. This fellow’s martial arts skills were so high. Compared to the sect masters of the Golden Saber Sect, Divine Fist Sect, and Iron Staff Hall, he was much stronger.

No wonder this guy had been at large for years.

The genius youths of the Mount Wu Sword Palace were at a disadvantage with just one strike.

“I’m in a good mood today, so I won’t play with you children.”

The old man jumped out of the window and fled. He used his qinggong and jumped dozens of feet away. He was about to escape to the opposite roof.

“Not good. This old man used a disguise technique.”

“Senior Brother Ji, let’s chase after him!”

“Don’t chase after him. This thief is very skilled in martial arts and has already reached the fourth level. We won’t be able to take him down in a short period of time. Let’s save the person who fell into the water first.”

All of this happened in an extremely short period of time. Chen and Zhang, who had been knocked down by a single sword strike, immediately panicked. They were about to chase after him when Senior Brother Ji stopped them. They turned around and saw the tragic state by the river.

“But…”

As soon as Senior Brother Ji finished speaking, he leapt out of the window and floated dozens of feet away. He tapped lightly on the top of a wooden tree hanging a lantern in the Wenqu Building and flew dozens of feet away like a bird towards the river.

When Chen Li and Zhang Jiao saw this, they were afraid of Rapist Tu. He was at the fourth level of the Martial Dao. The two of them had just broken through to the third level and were not his match at all. They could only jump out and use their qinggong to chase after Senior Brother Ji.

“Senior Brother Ye, what should we do?”

The girl panicked. Seeing that Ye Ning didn’t move, she didn’t know if she should save the people or chase after him.

“You guys go save him. I’ll go after him.”

Ye Ning used his qinggong to chase after him.

“Senior Brother Ye, wait for me.”

The girl thought for a moment and chased after him. Her bright eyes were even filled with anticipation. The genius Senior Brother Ye had repeatedly created miracles. Today, he would probably eliminate evil again.
