Returning to the Original Sect
Thud thud thud —
A flurry of footsteps could be heard. The patrolling soldiers near Baohua Street had been called over by the messenger.
"Who dares to kill people in broad daylight?!" A rough voice came from afar and reached everyone's ears.
Everyone looked towards the direction of the voice and saw a tall and sturdy man leading a group of about a thousand soldiers quickly walking over from the north side of the street.
"You're the one who killed them here?" After a while, the burly man walked in front of Tang Jin. He first looked at Tang Jin, and then looked at Pojun and the other two people behind Tang Jin. Their eyelids were slightly lowered as if they did not see their arrival. He could not help but feel his heart skip a beat. Since they dare to be so arrogant, they must have a strong backing.
Tang Jin glanced at the burly man indifferently. He could not be bothered to talk nonsense with him. With a wave of his left hand, the Sky Dragon Token appeared in his hand. "Do you recognize it?"
Seeing Tang Jin take out a token, the burly man felt that something was wrong. When he saw the style of the token, the burly man felt as if his heart was being pulled out.
Whoosh!
The burly man brought all the soldiers behind him, who had seen the medallion in Tang Jin's hand, and knelt down together, shouting, "May His Majesty live forever, and become an immortal as soon as possible. I am Zhang Han, the City Patrol Commander of Towering Mountain City. Greetings to the Imperial Envoy! “
Seeing the soldiers kneeling on the ground, the crowd was stunned. Then, there was a burst of surprise and uproar.
Tang Jin didn't pay attention to the people around him. He slowly turned around and looked at the young girl and the young man behind him.
"What? Or did I take your brocade pouch? "Tang Jin looked at the man and woman with a sneer on his face and said in a mocking tone.
After saying that, Tang Jin glanced around again. Seeing that many of the onlookers who were more afraid of trouble had begun to leave quietly, Tang Jin continued in a cold voice, "Everyone, stop right there! Did I say I would let you go? Zhang Han, block this street for me! If anyone wants to leave, kill them! "
Tang Jin's cold and murderous tone made no one dare to question the authenticity of Tang Jin's words. The person who wanted to leave first stopped in his tracks. The person who had just scolded Tang Jin kept moving back quietly, hoping that Tang Jin would not notice him. After the soldiers sealed off the street, the thousands of people on the street remained silent. All of them were staring at Tang Jin with fear and trepidation.
The murderous aura they felt from Tang Jin's body made them feel that if Tang Jin was unhappy now, he could kill everyone on this street.
Actually, they were right. Tang Jin was indeed capable.
After the surroundings quieted down, Tang Jin once again looked at the young girl and man in front of him. He did not say anything and only looked at them expressionlessly. No one knew what he was thinking.
"My Lord," Tang Jin's gaze made the man's hair stand on end. He finally collapsed and knelt on the ground with a 'plop'. He kept kowtowing and said to Tang Jin with a sobbing tone, "This lowly one deserves to die. This lowly one has sinned. This lowly one should not have slandered you, my Lord. This lowly one knows his mistake …"
The man kowtowed heavily a few times, then straightened his back and slapped his own face with both hands, hoping to be forgiven by Tang Jin.
Seeing that the man beside her had knelt, the young girl's legs finally gave way and she fell to the ground. She started to cry, "My Lord, this lowly one knows his mistake. This lowly one has eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai and has offended you. Please forgive this lowly one this time. As long as my Lord doesn't kill this lowly one, this lowly one is willing to be your slave or slave. I beg of you, my Lord … "
When the crowd saw the weeping beauty of the young girl, they could not bear to see her like this. However, they did not dare to say anything. After all, they were like clay bodhisattvas crossing a river. They could not even protect themselves.
Tang Jin turned his head and pointed at the two people on the ground. He said to Zhang Han who was beside him, "Who are they? Swindlers? "
Swindlers? Zhang Han was stunned. He obviously did not know what swindlers meant. However, he understood the first part of Tang Jin's question. Looking at the two people in front of him, a trace of sympathy flashed in Zhang Han's eyes. He said, "I have never seen them before. However, there are many people like them on Baohua Street. Their plan should be to first find a person who was obviously not a local of Towering Mountain City and seemed to be relatively rich. That man would pretend to have stolen something from a girl and run away. Then, he would bump into someone and frame them. Then, he will use the surrounding people to fan the flames and mislead the crowd … "
After listening to Zhang Han's explanation, Tang Jin nodded his head in understanding. He looked as if he had expected this.
Before the man bumped into Tang Jin, Tang Jin suspected that this was a trap. After stealing someone's things, why would he run to a crowded place? Even if he ran to a crowded place, he would find a loophole to hide. How could he bump into someone?
After glancing at the two people indifferently, Tang Jin waved his hand at Pojun behind him. He walked past the two people expressionlessly.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that this matter was over and that Tang Jin had let the two people go. However, they did not expect that Pojun would suddenly swing his golden sword. Before the two people could react, the two people's heads were chopped off.
The man's and the girl's heads flew into the sky along with two pillars of blood. Their heads fell to the ground and rolled to the side of their corpses. Their eyes were wide open with regret, resentment, fear, and disbelief.
They died with their eyes wide open!
South of the sect domain, under the Plain Return Sect's mountain, Plain Return Town.
In the sect domain, there were countless large and small sects. Under each sect's mountain, there would at least be a town.
Most of the shops in the town were the sect's businesses. They were used to earn profits for the sect.
Plain Return Town was the largest town under the Plain Return Sect. Although it was called a town, other than the fact that it did not have a city wall, it was not much smaller than an ordinary city.
There were inns, shops, restaurants, and teahouses. A large number of people lived in the town. These people were basically the family members of the current or former disciples of the Plain Return Sect.
Tang Jin and his group walked into Plain Return Town. There were many people coming and going in Plain Return Town every day. There were too many cultivators like Tang Jin and his group, so their arrival did not attract too much attention.
After a series of investigations, Tang Jin found that the Ryumitsu Himeji's crime sites were basically in the southern part of the sect domain. In addition, the last crime was committed by a female disciple of the Plain Return Sect. Therefore, Tang Jin and his group decided to come to Plain Return Town to investigate first.
"Commander. The female disciple of the Plain Return Sect who was raped by the Ryumitsu Himeji is called Zhan Ru. She is at the Nascent Soul stage and is the direct disciple of the second elder of the Plain Return Sect. She is beautiful and has good talent. People call her Fairy Ru Xue. " Standing outside the town, Pojun said to Tang Jin, "Should we investigate directly or secretly first?"
"Let's investigate secretly." Tang Jin thought for a moment and said, "I suspect that the Ryumitsu Himeji is a disciple of the Plain Return Sect. If we rashly go up like this, I'm afraid we will alert the enemy."
"Yes."
Tang Jin and his group walked into Plain Return Town and came to the largest inn in the town, the Plain Return Inn.
"Hey, are you here for a meal or to stay?" As soon as they walked into the inn, the waiter of the inn quickly greeted them.
"Stay." Pojun stepped forward and threw a gold coin to the waiter and said.
The waiter did not hesitate and took the gold coin and put it in the cloth bag on his body. Then he led them to the counter and said to the innkeeper, "Innkeeper, these people want to stay."
The shopkeeper was a fair-skinned young man. He had his head lowered as he calculated something. When he heard the manservant's words, he raised his head and glanced at Tang Jin and the others. He nodded his head and said, "Xiao Xi, bring them up."
"Innkeeper, aren't we going to register?" Xiao Xi was a little puzzled.
"I'll register here. Take them upstairs first! What room do you want? Just bring the money down. "The innkeeper seemed to be a little impatient and waved his hand without raising his head.
Xiao Xi shrugged and looked at Tang Jin and the others. She said, "Let's go. What kind of room do you want?"
"Heaven Room." Tang Jin said lightly. Turning his head to look at the innkeeper who was still fiddling with the abacus beads downstairs, Tang Jin frowned and said, "Your innkeeper has a bad temper."
Xiao Xi smiled and led Tang Jin and the others upstairs. She said to Tang Jin and the others with a smile, "Our innkeeper is an inner disciple of the Puhuan Sect. I don't know what he did in the sect, but he was transferred to the foot of the mountain to be an innkeeper. How can his temper be good? But the innkeeper is a good person and never bullies us servants. Although his temper is a little bad sometimes, we all like him. "
Tang Jin nodded and did not say anything.
After leading them to a room, Xiao Xi turned around and handed Tang Jin and the others a key. "This is the key to Heaven Room 6. A Heaven Room costs one low-grade spirit stone per day. How many days do you plan to stay?"
Heaven Room was called a room, but it was actually a room. Besides the master bedroom, there were a few side rooms. So, this Heaven Room was enough for Tang Jin and the others.
This was not because Tang Jin and the others were trying to save money. It was because they were outside and in the territory of the sect, which was very chaotic. Pojun and the others needed to protect Tang Jin.
"Let's stay for 100 days first." Tang Jin casually threw out two low-grade spirit stones. "I'll give you the other one."
"Oh, thank you. Thank you, Young Master." After receiving the spirit stones, Xiao Xi was grinning from ear to ear. Xiao Xi felt as if his heart was being pulled out of his chest. She had long seen that Tang Jin and the others were not simple people and must be generous, but she did not expect them to be so generous! One mid-grade spirit stone was enough for Xiao Xi to work as a servant for the rest of her life!
"Okay, you can leave. Serve us well. We don't need these spirit stones." Tang Jin waved his hand and said casually.
"Yes, yes." Xiao Xi quickly nodded and smiled fawningly. "Young Master, if there's anything you need, just tell me. I'll definitely do it as long as I can!"
With that, Xiao Xi happily took the spirit stones and turned to leave.
Looking at Xiao Xi's back, Tang Jin laughed in his heart. "Money really does make the world go round. The difference between using money and not using money is really different."
