C19 Jianghu

Hong Ling drank his wine, but the sword in his hand was still leaning on the railing. He knew, that if he wanted to stay out of this mess, trouble would naturally come knocking on his door. Perhaps this was the so called Jianghu, when one enters the Jianghu, he would be forced to do so.

Closing his eyes, a vast amount of soul power surged out. Hong Ling's consciousness instantly spread out between heaven and earth, as he followed the middle-aged man to the restaurant.

The Eternity Restaurant was the name of this restaurant. It did not have any decorations to it, but it gave off a sense of grandeur, as if it represented this particular Tianhuang City.

The butler stood in front of a young lad and chattered nonstop about how Hong Ling was not willing to give up the room to make things worse. At first, the prince looked better, but as time went on, his expression became more and more gloomy.

After the butler finished speaking, he stared gloomily at the figure upstairs, his face filled with a murderous intent. No one had ever dared to not give him face, not to mention that he was a little kid from who knows where.

Within the Tianhuang City, was one of the Zhou Family, one of the three great families. Naturally, their background was not just for show, even in the entire Great Chu Empire, they were considered an illustrious family that could be ranked. Now, there was actually someone who dared to ignore the prestige of their Zhou Family.

"Kid, scolding the Young Master that you are not a good thing and telling you to scram far away and at such a time." Even if Young Noble had to do it alone, Young Noble will not be able to defeat him. He also said that our Zhou Family is nothing but bullsh * t, and even if Young Noble is here, the patriarch would personally come. In this private room, if you say no, then no! "

Hong Ling opened his eyes and thought back to the butler's venomous words. Tsk tsk, amazing, to be able to reverse the black and white to such an extent, the butler could be considered a genius, but unfortunately, his eyes were not very good, and his wishful thinking was placed onto him.

The youth was not afraid of the young master at the bottom of the Heaven Desolate Restaurant. Although he looked a little older than, his strength had only broken through to the middle stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi. In Hong Ling's eyes, this kind of strength was not even worth looking at.

Thump, thump, thump. The sound of chaotic footsteps came from the corridor outside the private room, but Hong Ling was still slowly sipping his wine, his expression tranquil and calm, while the hundred refined steel sword beside him glimmered with a cold light.

At this time, the young man's vast soul power had instantly condensed into a Primordial Spirit Clone. It walked out of his forehead and slowly entered the sword.

Weng, a tiny strand of sword concept slowly formed as the Primordial Spirit Clone stepped into the sword. This caused the Hundred Smelting Pattern Steel Sword to slowly move towards Hong Ling, this was a very strange thing.

After all, after Hong Ling comprehended the sword intent, in order to activate it, he had to use his own body as the medium, and place the sword intent into the sword blade. Now that the Primordial Spirit Clone had fused with the sword blade, the Hundred Refinement Pattern Steel Sword had actually developed its own sword intent.

After Hong Ling finished doing all this, his face revealed a smile, and his eyes flashed a flowing light. And at this time, with a muffled bang, the room's door was kicked open again.

"Young master, please go inside quickly. Don't be tired standing outside!"

The Zhou family's butler bowed and bowed as he led a youth in green into the room. His face was full of smiles, like an exploding chrysanthemum. The thick smell of gunpowder followed him, pushing the character of his henchman to its limits.

"Kid, come over here and greet our young master when you see him!" The Zhou family's steward was very confident, and with a series of angry shouts, he carried quite a bit of power.

Hong Ling focused his gaze and slowly stood up. He held the white jade wine jug in his left hand, and poured a mouthful of the drunk beauty into his mouth. Although her face was slightly red, her gaze was cold.

"Sword, come!"

With a clang, the hundred plated steel sword that was leaning against the railing, whistled as it flew over. It quietly floated in front of Hong Ling, the tip of the sword releasing a sharp Sword Qi, aimed straight at everyone.

"May I know the reason why you all have barged into my pavilion?"

The youth's tone was neither servile nor overbearing, neither overbearing nor subservient. However, her elegant and noble temperament actually made people feel ashamed of their inferiority and dare not look straight at her.

Originally, he wanted to say something, but he held it tightly in his stomach. Although he was a playboy who relied on his power to bully others, to be able to bully others until now, other than relying on his family's deep roots, it was also because of the pair of sharp eyes that he had trained for so many years.

Evidently, he had already categorized this white-clothed youth in front of him as an existence that could not be easily provoked, because he had felt a trace of sword intent from Hong Ling's hundred refined steel sword. This was an extremely shocking thing.

In the entire Tianhuang City younger generation, only Young City Lord was able to control the will of the Martial Dao on the surface. But now, in this Eternity Restaurant, there was actually a second person who could control the true meaning of the Martial Dao. Not only that, he could also grasp the attacking sword intent like Young City Lord.

More importantly, he was actually younger than the young city lord. Not only was Zhou Ao shocked, even the other youths who came with him all had an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"Sword Manipulation! It's actually the legendary Sword Manipulation! "

Everyone knew what it meant to learn the Imperial Sword Technique. This was something that could only be accomplished by comprehending sword intent, and the secret method of the Imperial Sword Technique, even in the entire Great Chu Empire, was something that not many families would have.

Hong Ling slowly walked to the railing and sat down. He casually waved his hand and the hundred refined steel sword started to slowly swim in the air, returning back to his side. With a thought, the young man kept it into his spatial ring.

In these few days at the Tianhuang City, he spent a large amount of money to buy the history of the continent, and with his powerful soul power, he memorized it. He already had a whole new understanding of this world, and he knew that the few youths that came today were no ordinary characters.

However, Hong Ling was born with a stubborn will, he was not willing to lower himself to others. He borrowed the newly comprehended Imperial Sword Technique to give these people a beating, so that they would not be bullied.

"I wonder which family's Heaven's Pride you are from. I am very proud next week. My butler did offend you just now. Please do not take it to heart!"

He knew how powerful the energy behind a young man who could use the Imperial Sword Technique was. Even the Young City Lord of Tianhuang City did not have such a deep foundation.

A young genius who was able to comprehend the Imperial Sword Technique, even if he did not have any background right now, as long as this young man was willing, he could join any of the great powers in the Great Chu Empire and receive special nurturing.

Hong Ling was stunned, he had originally thought that there would be a fight between him and Zhou Ao, but he did not expect that this young master of the Zhou family would be so obedient, and directly apologize.

Since the other party had already apologized, he didn't want to pursue the matter any further. Thus, he could only place the wine jug gently on the table and give a slight smile.

"So it's Sir Zhou, I am Hong Ling, and am resting in this pavilion. If everyone has nothing to do, please forgive me for not accompanying you!"

Although he didn't care about the Zhou family's steward's impudence, he didn't want to have anything to do with them. Thus, he naturally ordered them to leave.

"This one bids you farewell!" "Humph!"

Zhou Ao's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure. With his status, since he was willing to give up his status to apologize, even if the other party was from a large clan, he shouldn't be so cold in chasing people away.

At the very least, polite words still needed to be said. This was an unwritten rule between large clans. If one extended their hand and didn't hit a smiling person, then one had to do enough to show their face, or else they would be looking down on them.

However, what he did not know was that Hong Ling was such a person. Someone he did not want to interact with, he ignored everything else, regardless whether it was the Sky Emperor or the Earth Immortal.

"Young Master, that youth has a strong background?"

The Zhou family's steward was somewhat surprised. He had personally seen his young master apologize, but someone had rudely threw him out. For him to be able to restrain himself from flying into a rage was a rare occurrence.

"Hmph, a mere early stage Essence Refinement into Qi brat actually dares to be so arrogant in front of my Zhou family's second young master. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch him?!"

Zhou Ao's heart was filled with rage. He had been rampant within the Tianhuang City since he was young, and calling himself a local tyrant of the Tianhuang City was not an exaggeration, but to be able to put down his dignity and apologize to Hong Ling, in exchange for being treated coldly by the other party. Furthermore, he was directly kicked out of the Tianhuang City.

It was clear that in his opinion, what Hong Ling had done had greatly humiliated him, damaging his own reputation.

"Hong Ling, you just wait and see, I will treat this dragon that has crossed rivers well!"

He lowered his head and whispered into the butler's ear. His face revealed a vicious expression. At first, the butler's face was gloomy, but in the end, he was ecstatic.

When Hong Ling left the private room, it was already evening. He stretched his waist, straightened his clothes, and leisurely walked inside the Tianhuang City. The Tianhuang City in the dusk was exceptionally gorgeous.

"Hmm? There's actually someone following me! "

The youth frowned. Just now, he had only inadvertently released his soul power, but he'd actually sensed two auras that weren't weak.

"With his middle stage Essence Refinement into Qi cultivation, he really thinks highly of me!"

He smiled but didn't turn back. He continued walking at a leisurely pace. The entrance to an alley slowly entered his sight. He turned around and entered the alley.

"What a strong killing intent. I wonder how many valuable things these two people have on them!"

Recently, Hong Ling had become a little rich, mainly because Zhang Yan's wealth had allowed him to enjoy it for a period of time. Amongst the intoxicated, he quickly gave in.

"Kid, since you have already discovered us, why are you deliberately trying to mystify us?"

A cold and gloomy voice suddenly came from behind. The slightly hoarse voice caused people to feel extremely annoyed.

Hong Ling turned his head in surprise, looking at the two killers who were not even willing to buy a mask, his eyes filled with helplessness. As killers, dancers at the tip of their blade in the darkness, it was one thing for you to not wear night clothes, but if you don't even want to bring a mask, isn't that a little disrespectful to your profession?

Moreover, the other side had even directly reminded him not to continue acting. Wasn't this just drawing snakes to make up for it? Wouldn't it be fine if he just directly chopped him down?

Of course, the things above were not the main point. The main point was that, through these, Hong Ling pessimistically felt that the reason these two stingy fellows didn't bring scarves was because they had no money.

He did not sense at all that the other party was looking down on him for hiding his identity because he only had an early stage Essence Refinement into Qi cultivation. Of course, he would never have such a feeling, and the reason was because he felt that he was very, very strong!
