Chapter 160 - 131: Planting a Flag for Sale
Outside the city, Li Yi witnessed the fate of the other disciples from Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall and understood that, once the power struggle was lost, what their end would be like in this ruthless world where there are no laws, where everything relies on one’s martial prowess. The idea that the strong prevail was pushed to the limit. If you are strong enough, you can manipulate and oppress others at will, and everything seems so justified.
Therefore, after entering Sanyang City, Li Yi realized that if he wanted to avenge his master and recoup the blood debt for Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall, he had to set aside any notion of mercy, discard the lifestyle he had on Earth, become mighty, dignified, and indifferent. Only then could Li Yi firmly establish himself and stand his ground here.
"Giddy up!"
Li Yi sped on his horse, and the pedestrians hurriedly gave way. He merely asked calmly, "Rong Niang, Han and Jin’s Martial Arts Halls, which one is closest to us?"
"It is the Jin Family Martial Arts Hall."
Rong Niang had been closely following him. She was now Li Yi’s personal guide, responsible for pointing out where their enemies were.
"Very well, let’s go to that Jin Family Martial Arts Hall first, defeat them and then move on to the next one." Li Yi said, his calm tone carrying a valor that treated all heroes under heaven as nothing.
"Turn right at the upcoming street intersection, and you’ll find Jin Family Martial Arts Hall a li ahead," Rong Niang promptly replied.
Li Yi pulled at his horse’s reins, then changed direction and sprinted off again.
"Who is this reckless fool daring to gallop through our Jin Family’s turf? Don’t they want to live?" As soon as he entered the street, a disciple from Jin Family Martial Arts Hall, stationed nearby, drew his sword and shouted angrily, "Stop immediately, dismount, or face execution without mercy."
Immediately afterward, the quick swords were drawn, and several disciples tried to block Li Yi and Rong Niang.
