Chapter 787 420: The World's Famous Weapon Fanatic, Old Demon Duan!
The old mountain city had some houses with wild grass growing on the tiles, left unattended.
This is just one of the mountain cities in Yu State, appearing quite unremarkable.
Mozi City is such an unremarkable mountain city, and like many mountain cities in Yu State, each carries a strange ghost story.
And the ghost story of Mozi City is that the sky here is exceptionally dark.
Do not travel the wild roads in the dark; this is an ancient lesson passed down in Mozi City.
This is all because the sky in Mozi City is always rather dark, and often there are occurrences of people disappearing without a trace while walking the night paths, neither alive nor dead.
As for why the sky in Mozi City is darker, where those disappeared people have gone, no one knows.
After all, the darkness of the sky is quite a subjective perception; maybe it's because the mountains there are deep, the trees tall, giving people the illusion of a darker sky.
In fact, the darkest part of Mozi City is underground.
Darkness, like thick ink, lingers long in the underground space, even the brightest Blood Fire Candle of Thunderbolt Hall lights up only two meters around.
Yet, in such an environment, some still move freely. If you observe carefully, you'll find this is not a natural cave but an underground structure.
This structure has corridors and pavilions, even clear ponds and bamboo groves, appearing both elegant and eerie underground.
In front of a screen embroidered with black and white feathered birds, three men knelt, not daring to make a sound.
Behind the screen, numerous red strings hung in the air, with ancient coins strung along them.
At the end of the red strings was a mass of pitch-black substance.
It was an existence blacker than black, like an unfathomable abyss.
At this moment, the mass kept trembling, seemingly in anger.
The trembling mass caused the ancient coins on the red strings to sway, turning them into strange mouths, thus filling the air with an indescribable human-like language.
The sound was neither human nor not, just hearing it made one shiver in fear.
The sound lasted for several moments before it slowly stopped.
Only then did the three men in blue stand up, drenched in sweat.
The man in the middle sighed, "I have served Tai Sui for decades, never have I seen Tai Sui this angry."
The man on the right replied, "There's no choice, Tai Sui's divine power has encountered a rare challenge."
"No, it's more than that, Tai Sui said it hurts."
"Hurt?"
"The Green Tai Sui Meat was consumed by the Divine Mouth in the sect, creating a connection with Tai Sui. They suffered immense pain, even Tai Sui was affected."
"Does this pain even disturb Tai Sui?" The man on the left sweated out.
To know, Tai Sui is a true god, earthly suffering should mean nothing to it.
"There's no choice; that Old Demon Duan is atrocious, comprehending such an extremely evil Demon Technique. Even the sect's Divine Mouth failed after eating the Green Tai Sui Meat, angering Tai Sui." The leading middle-aged man spoke solemnly.
"So, big brother, now..."
"Now that Tai Sui is angry, I have no choice but to sacrifice myself to calm Tai Sui's rage."
"Big brother, let me do it."
"Second brother, let me do it, Tai Sui might see me young and be gentle."
"Nonsense, Tai Sui favors experience."
"Silence, none of you can stop me, this is an order from the Sect Leader!"
The leading middle-aged man said authoritatively.
Saying this, he had already stripped off his clothes and walked in, behind the screen.
Immediately, some red strings passed through his body, suspending him in the air.
The red strings trembled, drawing the man toward the shadow, causing blissful voices to emanate from him.
"Hmm huh huh huh huh!"
"Hmm huh huh huh huh!"
Seeing this, the two men behind the screen showed envious looks.
Really, he got to enjoy it again!
...
After checking accounts and killing people, Duan Yun and Shen Ying left.
Of course, this was just an appetizer, or planting a seed of heroism; later, this place in Yu State would also become a Heroic Land.
"Under the heavens, there's nowhere that isn't Heroic Land" was not just an empty phrase, Young Hero Duan would make it happen.
It's just that, for now, his energy and the Jade Pearl Heroes' strength were not enough to manage a far-off enclave.
Indeed, the future hero still needed time to grow, the spirit of heroism still needed to spread more fervently.
After this battle, the spread should be effective, sparking the chivalry in many.
Currently, their stronghold in Wangchun City needed proper consolidation, with time, it would surely become more "heroic".
Today he killed the Young Master of the Gu Family, also comprehending the Ten-layered Spring Rain, just what he wanted.
Yet the trouble didn't end.
The Thunder God and Mother were still lurking somewhere unknown.
Since this Gu Family's Young Master could help him break through the Ten-layered Spring Rain, surely something like the Thunder God and Mother, capable of such trickery, could help him break through the eleventh layer, right?
Duan Yun looked at the sky and couldn't help but say, "Hope you can entertain me!"
At least today, he had his fill of excitement; he hoped to continue this way.
....
The news of Young Master Gu, Gu Dile, being executed, and that Duan Yun brought suffering to all of Yishui City, reached Wangchun City before Duan Yun and the others did.
This was because the two of them wandered, eating and drinking along the way, like enjoying sightseeing.
After a victorious battle, even Young Heroes needed to enjoy themselves.
For instance, now, they were in that Black Bamboo Forest, digging out the freshest bamboo shoots, preparing to stir-fry them with meat.
Meanwhile, as the two were doing these things, the atmosphere inside and outside Wangchun City had already changed.
Many Jianghu people followed Young Master Gu, Gu Dile, but even more were heading towards Wangchun City.
