Capítulo 1110: Chapter 1110: Wandering the Martial World with a Sword (Part 14)
The martial arts world people who planned to besiege the Brahman Immortal Sect didn’t expect that their effort would come to nothing, not only did they not return, but the Brahman Immortal Sect brazenly changed the sign of the Drunken Red Pavilion to Brahman Immortal Sect the next day.
Outside, the flag of the Brahman Immortal Sect was flaunted openly, almost as if announcing to the entire Liuzhou City, “The Brahman Immortal Sect is here, and what can you do about it?”.
The martial arts world people were so angry they almost spat blood but dared not act rashly.
They still didn’t know if their people were dead or alive…
The Drunken Red Pavilion… no, it should be the Brahman Immortal Sect now. Chuzheng stood upstairs, with Villains A and B trembling behind her.
Since last night, the icy aura emanating from Miss Chuzheng hadn’t subsided at all, and it was frightening to stand beside her.
“Miss Chuzheng…”
“Did you find him?”
“N-no, not yet.”
Chuzheng calmly pressed on the railing, the Good Person Card sure could run… looks like I should have broken his legs and locked him up.
Villains A and B thought Chuzheng would lose her temper, but she merely shifted topics calmly, “Has Liang Xuan woken up?”
Villain A: “Not yet.”
Villain B: “Miss Chuzheng, those people are sure to come to rescue them.”
Chuzheng was silent for a while and then said, “Throw everyone else out except for Liang Xuan.”
–
Just as Villain B had said, the large group besieging the Demon Head were discussing rescue plans.
But before they could decide whether to confront directly or take a more circuitous route, all of their people were thrown out.
“What happened?”
“Why is it just you? Where are the others?”
“Don’t know?”
“What exactly happened inside? Didn’t the Demon Head get injured, how come we still can’t beat them?”
In the Brahman Immortal Sect, apart from Ming Xian the Demon Head, the others were a motley crew.
Even if they had some skills, they weren’t that formidable.
Otherwise, the previous siege of Brahman Immortal Sect wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.
“There’s a woman inside… she’s very powerful.” The returning person’s face was deathly pale, “We couldn’t defeat her at all.”
Everyone looked at each other, “Who is she?”
The person shook his head, didn’t know, only knew she seemed to be someone by Ming Xian’s side.
“Where’s my senior brother?”
Zhao Fu couldn’t find Liang Xuan after searching, anxious as if she were on fire.
“Did you see my senior brother?”
“N-no, didn’t see him, cough cough cough…”
“Wasn’t he with you, how come you didn’t see him?” Zhao Fu was somewhat agitated, grabbing the person and questioning.
“Cough cough…”
“Little Fu, calm down.”
The person beside her pulled her away.
“More than just Young Master Liang didn’t return, the Brahman Immortal Sect must be holding them hostage, we’ll figure out a way to rescue them, don’t worry.”
However, in reality, apart from Liang Xuan, everyone else has long turned to dust.
–
The martial arts world people organized two rescue attempts, both failing, not rescuing anyone, and losing many of their own in the process.
Meanwhile, the Brahman Immortal Sect began recruiting sect members openly.
This publicly slapped the martial arts world in the face.
Yet, beyond being enraged, there was nothing they could do.
Rumors about the Brahman Immortal Sect started circulating in Liuzhou City.
“Big news!! Big news!!”
In a teahouse, someone came running in, out of breath.
“The Brahman Immortal Sect has bought the entire street!”
Someone was surprised, “What?”
The herald, panting, “The whole street now has the Brahman Immortal Sect’s sign, you haven’t seen it, but it’s very ostentatious…”
“Isn’t the Brahman Immortal Sect a cult?”
“Hey, cult or not, I don’t know about that, I just know this Brahman Immortal Sect has a lot of money.”
On the other side, the martial arts heroes’ faces turned ashen, they went to see that street of the Brahman Immortal Sect, and sure enough, the entire street was adorned with the Brahman Immortal Sect’s signs.
The flag of the Brahman Immortal Sect flapped arrogantly in the wind, incredibly infuriating.
Not only the flags, outside the former Drunken Red Pavilion stood a board stating the rules and benefits of joining the Brahman Immortal Sect.
The rules were simple, you could join as long as you knew martial arts.
The benefits were the main focus, summarized in one word: money.
“You get a monthly stipend, and can receive various items.”
“If I knew martial arts, I’d want to join, too.”
“Exactly, maybe it’s not too late to start learning martial arts now.”
“How does the Brahman Immortal Sect have so much money?”
“I heard the Sect Hierarch is a demon head, doesn’t hesitate to kill, this money surely comes from some shady source, why doesn’t the government office do something?”
“The government office is busy with Governor Yang’s matters, where would they find the time to deal with them? Besides, they haven’t really done anything… buying shops and recruiting people, providing food and shelter, it’s not like they’re killing or causing arson, how do you manage that?”
“…”
–
The Brahman Immortal Sect.
Villain A ran up the stairs excitedly, “Miss Chuzheng, just got word, someone has Jun Bugu.”
Chuzheng’s eyelids lifted, “No matter how much it costs, get it back for me.”
Villain A was overjoyed and hurried off to handle it.
Poison like Jun Bugu, although rare, would always have someone with it, and Chuzheng managed to acquire a dose at a high price.
Liang Xuan was confined in a basement, never seeing daylight, he had no idea how much time had passed, and muddled through each day.
They only fed him a little, keeping him barely alive.
He seemed to hear footsteps in his daze.
He lifted his head with difficulty, shadows swaying into view.
“Chu… Chuzheng.” Liang Xuan clutched the wooden door, “What do you really… want to do?”
The door was opened, and people surged in to press Liang Xuan to the ground.
“Chuzheng, you’ll get your comeuppance!!” Liang Xuan cursed angrily, “Aligning with that Demon Head, you’re doomed as well…”
Chuzheng stood leisurely, as if Liang Xuan’s curses weren’t aimed at her.
Once Liang Xuan cursed until his throat was raw, she stepped inside.
Chuzheng took a cup of wine from Villain A and said unhurriedly, “It took quite a lot of my time to find this.”
Liang Xuan’s pupils contracted, panic rising in his heart, “What are you going to make me drink?”
“Jun Bugu.”
Liang Xuan’s heart skipped fiercely, instinctively saying, “It’s… impossible…”
“Try it and you’ll know, whether it’s possible or not.” The Good Person Card has suffered, you should experience it too.
The person holding Liang Xuan pinned his head, gripping his jaw, forcing his mouth open.
Liang Xuan struggled.
“No… um… let… no…”
Chuzheng poured the wine down, making sure Liang Xuan drank it all, the people holding him then released him.
“Ugh…”
Liang Xuan retched, trying to vomit it out.
Unfortunately, with just that one mouthful, Liang Xuan couldn’t vomit it out.
–
The main door of the Brahman Immortal Sect suddenly opened, and someone was thrown out.
The people outside guarding instantly recognized Liang Xuan.
Several people rushed over to lift Liang Xuan up, “Young Master Liang.”
Liang Xuan was barely conscious, issuing an indistinct sound, then he fainted away.
“Let’s go, hurry.”
Chuzheng stood inside, watching Liang Xuan being taken away, “Have someone watch Liang Xuan, report his every move to me.”
Since Liang Xuan had Jun Bugu, even if he didn’t know the antidote, maybe he knew who had it, or someone he knew might know it.
