C75 Best Lectures
The night in Yan City was incomparably bustling, and the sounds of joyous laughter could be heard from all over the restaurant. Occasionally, the sound of cups breaking and plates breaking could be heard. The music of the zither in the brothel was so faint that even standing on the side of the street, one could clearly hear the laughter between men and women. The gambling den was in an uproar. There were cheers and curses from people who had gone crazy.
For some of the rich and powerful families in Yan City, tonight was destined to not be a peaceful night. As the old woman walked down the bustling and lively street, she attracted the attention of countless people. However, the old woman remained calm when she saw the peculiar gazes coming from her surroundings. Her eyes looked even more cloudy at night, but his gaze was firm as he looked at the nearby underground exchange.
The old man's steps were thin and seemed to be a bit shaky, but upon closer inspection, some of the more meticulous people noticed that the old woman's seemingly slow steps were as swift as the wind. Her frail body seemed to sway a few times before her eyes. In the next instant, she appeared several zhang away. This discovery made the surrounding people wary of this old woman.
The direction that the old man was heading towards was the famous underground market in Yan City. Although the crowd could tell that the old woman's cultivation base was extraordinary, they still broke out in a cold sweat for her.
"It seems like this old woman isn't that simple either. Why does she have to go to the Exchange?" Didn't she know that interruptions were not allowed during the transaction? "This is too …"
"Silence! Such a powerful individual's spiritual sense is extremely terrifying!" "You'd better hurry up and leave so that we don't get into trouble later." The two tactful people conversed in a low voice before hurrying away in the opposite direction of the exchange.
The old woman's footsteps were as slow as ever. In just a few breaths, she had arrived in front of a large building. This was a large building with a rather ancient design. It was made entirely out of piles of boulders. The color of the boulders outside the walls was also a dark gray, giving off a rather solemn feeling.
Some knowledgeable people would be able to tell at a glance that this was a common way of building for famous underground exchanges in the east county. These underground exchanges usually had powerful backers, and no one dared to provoke them. This kind of underground transaction was originally an abnormal method of doing business. For the benefit and safety of the customers, the exchange would definitely use more force than other ordinary casinos or brothels.
The four gatekeepers were currently gathered in front of the door in a very lazy manner, chatting with each other. The topic of conversation was just about the new girls from the brothel and the new rich kids being cheated of their gold coins by a certain casino.
This exchange had been built hundreds of years ago, and no one had ever caused trouble here before. Therefore, although these guards were powerful middle and late stage Bone Refining martial artists, they had not fought with anyone for many years. They had basically lost the sensitivity and vigilance that martial artists should have.
At this time, the old woman had already walked up the stairs. The other martial artists had just realized that she had arrived, but they hadn't been able to see just how terrifying her strength was.
"Old granny, did you lose your way? This is not a place that you should come to." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, wanting to push the old woman, who was walking up the stairs, to the side.
However, just as his hand was about to touch the old woman's clothes, the strangely dressed old man's body swayed slightly and he disappeared from his sight. When he regained his senses, the old woman had already appeared in the hall behind the four of them.
This action immediately caused the four guards to be alarmed. These guards' cultivation bases were not low either, but they didn't notice how the old man had managed to pass right by them.
"Someone is here to cause trouble, someone is here to cause trouble, quick..." "Someone come quickly." One of the guards reacted first and yelled into the hall in a panic. Because of the shock from before, his voice had changed its tone, as if it was a duck that was being strangled.
There were no less than a dozen warriors in charge of order in the hall. When they heard the shouts coming from the entrance, they almost thought that there was something wrong with their ears.
"Causing trouble." 'When you come here to cause trouble, I'm afraid only those who find it too long will be so crazed. Everyone in the hall was thinking the same thing.
At this moment, everyone in the hall had also noticed the strange dressed old woman. When they saw the old woman in front of them, they did not know whether to laugh or cry. Could it be that this old lady, who couldn't even stand straight, was here to beg for food?
However, they immediately dismissed those thoughts. If it really was an ordinary old lady, how could those people at the door let her in so easily? It seemed like this old lady was not that simple to shout at the top of her lungs. At this moment, all of the martial artists in the room were thinking the same thing.
Although the group of people in the room had guessed that this old lady might have some ability, there was no lack of experts at the great circle of the Bone Refining stage and the first or second level of the Body Tempering stage. This kind of lineup was not enough to contend against the City Lord's Mansion or the Lord's Mansion, but it was more than enough to deal with an ordinary underworld faction.
Moreover, there was also a powerful seventh level Body Tempering martial artist in the side hall. He was maintaining the deal. If that person came out, they wouldn't have to be afraid of this strange old woman in front of them.
A dozen or so martial artists quickly surrounded the old woman. The three people with higher cultivations were the first to block the old woman's path. One of them opened his mouth and said, "This old man, this is not a place you should be. He advised you to leave quickly so that you wouldn't cause trouble for yourself."
With this person's second level Body Tempering strength, such words were already considered very polite. This was because he still had not been able to judge the opponent's level. If it was any other person, they would have already thrown him out the door.
"What, you want to stop me?" The old woman spoke for the first time after entering the room. Her hoarse voice revealed a hint of ancientness, and her tone naturally exuded a majesty unique to those in power.
This kind of majesty had nothing to do with aura or cultivation. Facing such a lineup and yet still possessing such power, this group of strong martial artists all felt that this old man was extraordinary. They looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to fight the mysterious old woman in front of them.
"Since you are unwilling to leave, then please allow us to offend you." The one who spoke was still the first to speak. It seemed like his strength and position was the highest amongst the group of people in the room.
As this person's voice fell, the surrounding martial artists also seemed to have received a signal. At the same time, they rushed towards this old woman. Seeing that these people were all probing them, they all came to a tacit understanding to not take out their weapons. This was because if they took out their weapons in this situation, they would immediately fall into a dire situation and would no longer have any leeway to escape.
These people were all veterans. Although their duty was to fight with this old woman, many years of experience in the martial arts world had taught them not to cause too much trouble with her.
The instant they attacked, the old woman raised her head for the first time since entering the hall. His muddy eyes casually swept over the few people in front of him, and the thick robes on his body flapped a few times without any wind.
With a slight tremble of his robe, an indescribably large amount of ice-cold Qi spread out in all directions. There weren't any techniques or techniques, and this was the effect of simply releasing the spiritual energy around his body.
More than a dozen martial artists pounced on him from the air currents, each one of them groaning miserably as they retreated, blood trickling from their mouths. Other than the first person who spoke, who touched the corner of the old man's clothes, the others were all sent flying by the shockwave before they could even touch the old man.
As for the warrior who touched the old man's clothes with his finger, he was even more embarrassed. As soon as his finger touched the old man's clothes, he felt a bone-piercing cold air rushing into his body. His entire body trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and his chest and abdomen continued to emit muffled sounds. "After taking a mouthful of blood pressure, he finally let it out. Only now did he realize how terrifying his opponent's strength was.
If an ordinary person who did not understand the art of body refinement was by his side, they would see a comical scene. The ten burly men attacked a skinny old lady at the same time. In the next moment, the dozen burly men were sent flying backwards in a strange manner. All of them looked to be in a very sorry state.
When everyone fell back, it was also when the four guards outside rushed into the hall. They were originally still vexed over not being stopped by the few of them, so they might have been scolded by the supervisor. However, the few people who rushed into the hall almost had their eyes bulged out of their sockets.
They were well aware of the strength of those more than ten warriors. They had all been defeated in an instant. They were not ordinary people who did not understand the art of body refinement. They had never even heard of an expert with such strength, let alone having seen it before.
The commotion had finally alarmed the people in the small hall. A middle-aged man with a vicious face walked out from the small hall, the anger in his chest reaching a critical point.
The people who participated in the transaction were all reputable old customers. The ruckus here not only disturbed these distinguished guests, but also caused the underground exchange to lose all face. This person pushed open the door and walked out of the small hall with a fury.
"What are we arguing about here for? Don't tell me that we don't know what kind of guests are here today, hurry up …" Before he could finish his sentence, he was stunned by the scene before him. The dozen or so experts who had been hired by the rich were all looking at the old man in the middle of the hall with frightened expressions and a bloodied mouth. From the looks of it, the one with the highest cultivation was the one who had suffered the most serious injuries.
"Senior, if you have something to say, we can talk about it." We are all reasonable people. " The middle-aged man was also used to seeing such scenes, so he immediately changed to a smiling face with a bellyful of anger that had long since disappeared.
"Be reasonable. "Hehe, good, good. I'm the most reasonable person here." When the old woman heard the middle-aged man's words, she also smiled and said. The wrinkles on her smile deepened, and she didn't look like an old man at all.
The middle-aged man smiled wryly in his heart. He looked at the injured warriors and sighed in his heart, "Reasoning." Is this how you speak reason? ' Although he thought this in his heart, he didn't dare to complain at all.
Compared to the bustle of the underground market, the City Lord's Mansion was currently in an extremely depressing atmosphere. The city lord had already finished his closed door cultivation and was sitting alone in the main building of the mansion, pondering over the origin of the old woman.
In a quiet room in the City Lord's Mansion, Zuo Tianjiao's face was filled with pain and his body was burning. His fair skin had already become as red as blood, and traces of black lines were constantly moving on the surface of his skin. Uncle Tian and Anya stood beside him with anxious expressions.
