Chapter 22: Furious Rage
"Thank you, Commander!" After waking up, Chang Qing looked at Jiang Ming as if he were looking at an immortal.
"After you\'ve become proficient, teach it to others!"
"Yes!" Chang Qing retreated, his steps more confident.
At this time, Lu Yuan also opened his eyes, and his gaze towards Jiang Ming was extraordinarily complicated: "This method is indeed a great opportunity. Shall I worship you as my master?"
"Kneel down!" Jiang Ming smiled, pointing at his feet.
"Kneel your ass!" Lu Yuan rolled his eyes.
In the following days, Chang Qing divided the team into three parts, taking turns guarding, one group for four hours.
At the same time, he also passed on the cultivation skills.
Those newly recruited cultivated the first version of the Seven Kills Sword Skill, and the original old men cultivated Jiang Ming\'s rediscovered technique.
They honed and improved themselves through slaughter.
Under the night.
In Mount Dependence City, on a street corner, there was a small tavern with closed doors. Inside, the lamplight flickered, and two elders sat facing each other.
Two small dishes and a pot of wine.
One of them was Xiao Yuanhai, the second uncle of the Head of the Xiao Family. He picked up the wine pot and poured two cups: "Old man, how long has it been since we sat together and had a drink?"
"Almost ten years." The Liang Family Elder, Liang Dashan, smiled and said, "In the blink of an eye, we old folks are half-buried in the yellow soil."
"Isn\'t that the truth!" Xiao Yuanhai took a sip and put down his wine cup. "What do you think of what\'s been happening these past few days?"
"Use your eyes and see!" Liang Dashan laughed, then said seriously, "The thieves in Baiyun Village have unknown origins, but they claim to be Heavenly Martial Army. Their numbers are small, but they are exceptionally powerful and fearless. Those martial artists all fought for themselves but had various methods, and even with Innate powerful ones joining, they still couldn\'t charge up the mountain."
"A total of seven Innate powerful ones have died."
"Mysterious origins, claiming to be an army, unmatched strength, and seamless military formations. I can only think of one possibility - it\'s the court."
"But they are so brazen, even killing Xiao Ming. So the target can only be us."
"The court is in chaos, and the world is in turmoil, but they point their knives at us. Hah, they must think we\'re easy to bully."
Liang Dashan revealed a chilling, cold smile.
"In that case, we have to join forces again!"
"Being forced to this point, of course, we must join forces and take the opportunity to uproot the Six Gates in the city."
"Also, comb through the forces within the city."
"Very well!"
The two reached an agreement.
At midnight, in the courtyard on the mountain.
Jiang Ming sat facing the moon, half-hearted, cultivating and contemplating the further evolution of various extraordinary cultivation techniques.
At this time, Lu Yuan walked in, followed by a woman dressed in black: "Brother Jiang, let me introduce you to a friend. This is Gold Chapter Constable Jin Yinhua from the Six Gates of Mount Dependence City. Miss Jin has come to discuss something with you. Give me some face and don\'t bully her, or I won\'t be able to explain it to Constable Zhang Tong, nor will I face Lord Wang Wudi."
"Constable Jin, this is their Commander." Lu Yuan winked at Jiang Ming, then jumped to sit on a tree nearby, took out his wine gourd from his waist, and drank facing the moon.
"Constable Jin, please!" Jiang Ming pointed to the opposite side.
"Brother Jiang!" Even with a special hat, Jin Yinhua looked handsome, especially her cute, plump cheeks. She did not look like someone from the Six Gates at all.
She sat down without hesitation and went straight to the point: "Which part does Brother Jiang belong to?"
Jiang Ming was slightly taken aback, and then he chuckled: "Constable Jin, you misunderstand. The Heavenly Martial Army does not belong to any part. I just thought it sounded nice, so I chose that name. Nowadays, bandits are rampant, corrupt officials are in power, and the people are displaced, living in hardship. I thought that since I\'m in this world, I should do something within my ability. So, I created this army, intending to eliminate all the bandits in the world, and that brought me here."
"Created an army?" constable Jin widened her eyes and then frowned, "Brother Jiang, you have a great ambition to care for the country and the people. I admire that. But, creating an army violates the imperial taboo. Once reported, you will be besieged."
She couldn\'t help but smirk and commented: "No wonder the Xiao family has been monitoring us lately. They misunderstood that we are from the court. Even we were mistaken, and Constable had tried to investigate through special channels, but there was too little time to verify."
Pfft...
Lu Yuan, who was on the tree, spat out the wine in his mouth.
Jiang Ming\'s mouth twitched.
He had never thought about this point.
He just wanted to clear the name of Black Wind Mountain and leave some legacy.
But he didn\'t expect such a huge misunderstanding.
"Why not go with the flow!" Jiang Ming changed his mind and laughed, "I heard that both the Xiao and Liang families are harboring mountain bandits and committing atrocities. How about we cooperate and uproot them both?"
"I can\'t make that decision!" Constable Jin stood up and made a fist salute, "I need to consult with Constable. Also, I have a piece of news for you. Tomorrow, the Xiao Family will launch a full-scale attack on Baiyun Village. The Xiao family has two Grandmasters, seven or eight experts in the Innate Realm, and they have secretly built the Black Iron Army. As for the Liang family, they are not far behind. There are also many disciples from other sects in the city, and if they come to help, even if you win, you may become an enemy of many sects."
"Excuse me!" Constable Jin leaped out of the courtyard.
"Thank you!" Jiang Ming sent his voice to her.
Lu Yuan landed beside him, unable to hold back his laughter: "Now I understand why the Xiao family is so cautious. The Heavenly Martial Army, an army, anyone would think too much. Haha, Brother Jiang, you really made a big misunderstanding by accident. I\'m afraid that even when Zhang Tong hears the news, he would want to kill you. He will be in a very difficult situation."
Jiang Ming agreed completely.
An militia appeared in his territory, and he couldn\'t escape the responsibility no matter what.
"It depends on his courage!" Jiang Ming stood up, stepped on the ground, and landed gently on the roof.
He raised his hand and grabbed at the bright moon, then said, "Brother Lu, what if I kill all of them tomorrow?"
"No, absolutely not!" Lu Yuan\'s face changed, "If you exterminate the Xiao and Liang families, that\'s fine, because they deserve death. But if you kill off the disciples from other sects who come along, you will become the enemy of the Righteous Path, and be the enemy of the world. Even the Six Gates will take advantage of the situation to besiege you. By then, there will be no place for you in this world. You should consider the Heavenly Martial Army and the Black Wind Village."
"Troublesome!" Jiang Ming whispered, "It\'s better without any ties."
Ultimately, he still felt detached from this world and found it hard to fit in.
But he couldn\'t ignore the involvement of the Black Wind Mountain.
However, this sentence made Lu Yuan feel a chilling sensation.
Knowing the situation was urgent, Constable Jin abandoned her horse and used her light skill to return to Mount Dependence City before daybreak.
She was almost exhausted.
After explaining the situation to Zhang Tong...
"Create an army? Jiang Ming, I curse your ancestors!" Constable Zhang Tong was furious, pointing towards the direction of Baiyun Village and cursing loudly, "I\'m going to be screwed by you. And that scoundrel Lu Yuan, not giving a heads up in advance, how am I going to report this to my superiors?"
"Sir, is it that serious?"
"It\'s not a matter of how serious it is, but whether I will lose my head. No, I must report this to Lord Wang. Otherwise, I\'ll have to run away. Create an army? Is that something a person should do? It\'s challenging the imperial power, the military, the court, and the Six Gates. Damn it!"
