欧美人妻妇

Chapter Ch235 - Conflict

The shopkeeper’s strength was only at Xiantian stage one. He had previously failed the test to enter the Inner Sect. Later on, he had attached himself to that Inner Sect disciple, and had simply handled matters on the outside and acquired resources from that Inner Sect disciple’s hands. Because he worked properly and his aptitude for practicing martial arts was average, the passage of time had extinguished any thoughts of entering the Inner Sect. Instead, he concentrated on handling the matters of this restaurant.

However, despite giving up, the shopkeeper’s feelings of reverence towards Qingyun Sect were the same as the feelings of countless other Outer Sect disciples who couldn’t enter the Inner Sect. Even when compared to some Inner Sect disciples, his sense of belonging to the Sect was stronger. Only, it was a pity that his realm was too low. Although he could see that those three people had an uncommon bearing, in the end, he still somewhat underestimated the other side.

Gu Zuo looked at the strengths of those few guards. The highest was just Xiantian stage five. As an ordinary restaurant’s guard, that was enough. However, wanting to surround and confine those three people wasn’t going to work.

Just as expected, while the shopkeeper originally intended to merely let the guards threaten and drive the people out, he didn’t expect that one of the young men would walk out just when they were surrounded. The young man’s right foot suddenly lifted up!

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Only a few muffled sounds were heard. No one had clearly seen the traces of that young man’s foot moving when it was discovered that several of the guards were kicked away. After crashing into quite a few tables, they smashed firmly into the walls!

Gu Zuo was startled, and almost wanted to jump up.

Fortunately, he had experienced many things, and he restrained himself.

But very quickly, he furrowed his brows.

That young man was too ruthless...

The other customers in the restaurant also discovered that those few guards who were smashed into the walls were bleeding from the corners of their mouths. Unexpectedly, they were only kicked like this and they had lost most of their life force. Seeing that they only had a breath of life remaining, if they couldn’t be rescued immediately, then they would certainly die right then and there!

Those who practiced martial arts all had great eyesight. With a single glance, numerous martial artists clearly understood that the internal organs of those guards had practically been kicked to shreds. Gu Zuo further perceived how terrifying that young man’s kick was. Violently strong qi energy had burst out, and had broken all of the bone pearls in the guards’ bodies!

The shopkeeper’s eyes split open in rage.

Although these couple of guards were all hired, they’d gotten along with him for many years. The sentiments between them were deep. Likewise, they were also filled with reverence for Qingyun Sect. Right now, it had only been for the purpose of this trifling matter, and they had unexpectedly been dealt such a ruthless hand by someone else. How couldn’t the shopkeeper blame himself?

However, the ones he deeply hated were nevertheless these three complaining people.

Seeing all this, Gu Zuo’s heart also couldn’t bear it.

The injuries of those guards were within his capabilities of saving — It was also a coincidence. Recently, in order to facilitate the smooth survival of his big brother Gongyi Tianheng in Deer Blood Mountain Range, he had refined numerous types of medicines that focused on healing injuries.

Revitalization Pills mostly treated external wounds and common internal wounds. For such cases where the internal organs were almost scrambled into a ball, his newly-refined Viscera Growth Pill had the best effects. So long as one used a high grade pill, it could allow the internal organs to disentangle and recover back to normal at the fastest speeds.

As a matter of fact, Gu Zuo even possessed medicinal pills that could treat bone pearls — If the bone pearls were only cracked, then there wouldn’t be any problems at all. If the bone pearls were completely shattered, then one could save the stability of the acupoints, which would allow those martial artists to start over from the beginning. Moreover, because of the preservation of the medicinal power, it would greatly cut down on the time it would take to regain their realms.

It was just that...

Gu Zuo’s hesitation consisted of this — While he wouldn’t be stingy with a few of these medicinal pills, once he acted, would it cause trouble for his big brother? Actually, he was confident in using a type of method that would deliver the medicinal pills with no one the wiser. However, if the Viscera Growth Pill was later sold in Medicine of Life, then those three people would become aware of this if they paid a bit more attention. Ultimately, Gu Zuo was afraid that it was better to stay hidden and to not interfere.

Unless, aside from to his close friends and allies, he didn’t let the Viscera Growth Pill become known to the public.

This was a loss of some wealth, but it could ensure their safety and security... Because he currently wasn’t short of money, Gu Zuo made up his mind.

Indeed. Gu Zuo’s sense of belonging to Qingyun Sect wasn’t that large, but Qingyun Sect had treated him and his big brother very well. Upon seeing this kind of matter, keeping a unified front against external threats was to be expected.

If he witnessed a death without trying to save a life, his heart would develop some emotional knots later on.

However, while the Viscera Growth Pill was fine, the Bone Origin Pill, which could restore one’s bone pearls, was a little bit too special, so taking them both out wasn’t appropriate. It was enough that he acted to save their lives.

In the blink of an eye, he made his decision. The expression in Gu Zuo’s eyes moved slightly, and his line of sight was cast towards the bodies of those few, fainted martial artists.

The situations of those martial artists weren’t good. Granted that some shop assistants had worked hard to stuff medicinal pills into their mouths, their faces were still like metallic paper. Clearly, the pills weren’t useful at all.

Gu Zuo’s thoughts moved. A jade bottle suddenly appeared from his sleeve, and there were four Viscera Growth Pills inside. After that, he used his psychic power to bundle it up. Without making a sound, it edged around many of the restaurant’s overlooked areas, and slid all the way down. At last, it stopped next to the foot of a certain martial artist who had fallen to the ground.

Among the shop assistants helping on the side, one of them promptly detected it.

They looked all around, but didn’t discover anyone else. However, they also weren’t stupid. Naturally, they immediately understood that this was the assistance of an expert. While they were mentally guarded, at this point, they would even give medicine to a dead horse. They swiftly took out the medicinal pills, and stuffed a pill in each person’s mouth — At any rate, someone wouldn’t go so far as to deliberately play a joke at this time, right?

Following this, the shop assistants’ faces showed joyous smiles.

As it turned out, once those medicinal pills were each rigidly stuffed into those fainted martial artists’ mouths, their complexions rapidly improved at speeds visible to the naked eye. Not long after, their breathing gradually became smooth and unhindered!

A shop assistant grabbed a wrist of one of the martial artists, and promptly sensed that the other’s pulse was stabilizing. In an instant, his mind settled.

This was truly, truly amazing!

Something good happened on this side, and something unexpected happened on that side.

When the shopkeeper confronted those three people, the miserable conditions of the couple of guards were a ghastly sight. Among the others in the restaurant, there were many Qingyun Sect disciples. Naturally, they also felt hatred towards a common enemy. It was just that their strengths were largely inferior to those three people. As a result, they glared at the three, but didn’t have any means to act in the least.

However, while the people on the first floor were helpless, it didn’t mean that the people on the second floor couldn’t do anything, too.

With so much noise and activity below, people also walked out from some private seats and booths on the second floor. As chance had it, among the people who were eating here today, there really was an Earth Leaderboard powerhouse from the Inner Sect.

That shopkeeper definitely wasn’t a person who couldn’t make plans. He was well aware of the customers with status in the restaurant. While staking his own life, he also didn’t forget to save himself.

Hence, the shop assistant was originally instructed to go up and notify them. Who would’ve thought that the Earth Leaderboard powerhouse in a private booth would personally hear the commotion and come out. On the contrary, there was no need to make a request, and that shop assistant’s way of speaking changed. He swiftly told this Earth Leaderboard powerhouse about this matter’s course of events.

The Earth Leaderboard powerhouse automatically became enraged.

The next moment, a young man with a dignified and serious countenance brought along a few comrades to the side of the second floor. He gave a severe shout: “Who dares injure the disciples of my Qingyun Sect? Don’t tell me that you all don’t want to live?!”

When these words were spoken, the faces of the shop assistants and the shopkeeper all wore grateful looks.

Most of those who worked here were all relatively mediocre. They were Outer Sect disciples who couldn’t enter the Inner Sect. Usually, when speaking of the Inner Sect, they would consciously lower their heads. There was even an opinion that Outer Sect disciples weren’t true Qingyun Sect disciples. And the arrival of this Earth Leaderboard powerhouse was an acknowledgement of their identities. Regardless of the amount of sincerity within, this greatly eased their hearts. Not to mention, this Earth Leaderboard powerhouse clearly came out to vent their anger, which made them harbor good impressions and respect.

Gu Zuo also looked at that Earth Leaderboard powerhouse, and found his appearance stately and his qi emissions deep and resounding. He was also a Xiantian stage eight powerhouse. Among the five people following behind, not only were there two more Xiantian stage eights and two Xiantian stage sevens, there was even a Xiantian stage nine! It could be seen that these couple of people belonged to a group. Their personal friendships were considerably good.

But in the end, what identities did these people have? What rank did that powerhouse have on the Earth Leaderboard?

Very quickly, these questions were answered. As it turned out, these people were members of the Wild Martial Arts Society, which was one of the few great powers on the Inner Sect’s Earth Leaderboard. The founder was He Yinlong, the Earth Leaderboard’s number one. As for the present Earth Leaderboard powerhouse, he ranked seventh, and was also He Yinlong’s biological younger brother, He Xianglong.

During this time, He Xianglong was, on behalf of his elder brother He Yinlong, communicating and fostering relations with a few great experts. He didn’t anticipate encountering this kind of matter here. With the reputation of their Wild Martial Arts Society, it naturally came to this conclusion.

Merely, amid everyone’s spirited discussions, the identities of the few Wild Martial Arts Society members were revealed. However, those three people, who were shown the identities, still couldn’t care any less.

“Wild Martial Arts Society? What’s that? The trash of Qingyun Sect was hurt, but what can you do about it?”

T/N: To clarify, He Yinlong and He Xianglong’s surname is 何, while the He Clan’s surname is 鹤.
