I only seek to enjoy the present moment, regardless of dying in a foreign land tomorrow. With a blade in hand, I'll slay demons and men alike. "Ladies and gentlemen, please be on your way!&...

A hand as large as the sky. Wei Ming definitely wouldn't have believed it before.
Now that they've followed their master and witnessed his strength, they feel there must be even more powerful demonic beasts deep within the mountains. Otherwise, these demonic beasts would probably have been wiped out by human cultivators.
He heard that the Ascension Grass would soon be ripe. But Wei Ming knew in his heart that even if it ripened quickly, it would probably still take about a month. From the moment the Ascension Grass showed signs of withering until it was fully ripe, the time was estimated to be about a month.
However, these Hundred Thousand Mountains are too vast. Although there are many demonic beasts, there are also countless places where grass grows. It can grow as long as there is a little water and light. So it's really hard to pinpoint its exact location. It's just that the further we go, the clearer it becomes.
Of course, Wei Ming kept his head down and didn't say anything at this moment.
At this moment, the Grand Elder spoke up, "You must all be extremely careful during this time. Although it is forbidden for the Demon King to directly intervene, the monkeys, wolves, lions, and leopards will definitely be searching everywhere. Therefore, you must be very careful."
Then, glancing at the Fifth Elder, he said, 'If you discover anything, return immediately to report. If this opportunity is seized, the Fifth Elder will inherit it.'
The other elders all agreed. Clearly, they had already discussed it. However, the clan was only so large, so things were relatively easy to negotiate.
Wei Ming listened to the whole story. Then the Grand Elder said, "Recently, many humans have come to trade with other demon kings. The specific details of the trades are currently unknown, but they are more frequent than in previous years. You should all be careful."
Also, the wolf clan suffered heavy losses last time. Lately, there's been talk that other demon kings went to seek revenge. If you are needed to investigate, please be extremely careful.
Alas, without a demon king, we are hindered at every turn.
He Chen was dressed in all black, wearing court boots. His face was aloof, and he was tall and imposing. He looked strong and powerful, yet his face was as pale as a scholar's. He was truly a refined gentleman.
Upon entering, all six tables inside were packed with people. At each table, several scantily clad, attractive women were chatting and laughing with their guests, reciting poetry and making merry. What a prosperous scene!
The people at the table were mostly dressed in fine silks and brocades, with jade pendants at their waists and folding fans in their hands. They appeared refined, yet lacked elegance. However, their hands were rather haphazardly placed, groping around aimlessly.
He had just entered when, moments later, a rather attractive older woman rushed over. Seeing he was a stranger, she quickly inquired, "Guests, are you looking for a seat? Is there anything you require?"
He Chen nodded slightly. "Where's your boss? I'm taking the whole place today. Tell the other guests to leave quickly." He then tossed a packet of gold leaves, which scattered on the ground with a crisp sound.
A packet of gold leaves was casually tossed out. It instantly stunned the entire room.
The hall fell silent instantly. You could hear a pin drop. Upstairs, several young men were vying for the title of the most sought-after courtesan.
Suddenly, the first floor fell silent. Because of the previous noise, they hadn't heard what was happening downstairs. Besides, this was the largest building in Wanzhou City; ordinary people wouldn't dare to come and disturb it.
Although there are some small gangs here, these gangs all rely on the Chai, Huang, and Wang families for survival, so how could they dare to provoke the young masters of these families!
Inside the private room on the second floor, there were several small bottles of wine, a plate of sliced pig ears, a roast chicken, a roast duck, a bull penis, and some fruit on the table.
The second young master of the Chai family, the second young master of the Huang family, and the young master Wang sat together.
All three were very well-dressed, but their seating arrangements revealed their relative status. The second son of the Chai family held a slightly higher position, wearing a silk blouse with a straight collar and an antique jade pendant at his waist.
The second young master of the Huang family and the young master of the Wang family were dressed similarly. However, the second young master of the Chai family looked more imposing, with a darker complexion and strong, powerful hands.
The second young master of the Huang family had a pale, bluish complexion, clearly from staying up too late every night. Young Master Wang, on the other hand, had bright, alert eyes and plenty of energy, suggesting he was hiding considerable strength. He was carefully attending to the two young masters, nodding and standing with his hands on his hips.
Each of the three men was accompanied by a beautiful woman, her face showing a hint of sorrow. They were being given more wine. Two other people were playing instruments and singing softly nearby.
Looking at the reluctant women, Young Master Wang whispered a threat, 'You'd better behave yourselves and serve Young Master Chai and Young Master Huang well. Otherwise, I won't be so polite.'
You owe us a lot of money. You've ruined a lot of clothes and a lot of goods. And your husband is still in jail.
After saying that, he twisted the woman next to him forcefully. San felt her eyes instantly redden, and she had no choice but to submit and agree.
Young Master Chai and Young Master Huang were used to this, and even gave Young Master Wang an approving look. Young Master Wang immediately bowed and smiled, serving him obsequiously.
Young Master Chai and Young Master Huang held their beloved tightly in their arms, moving about wildly. In an instant, they became anything but proper.
Suddenly, the area below fell silent. It had been bustling with noise, people drinking, chatting, and boasting—a lively and vibrant scene—but now, all was quiet.
Young Master Chai sensed something was amiss and called out towards the door, "Guard Lang, what happened?"
The guard, dressed in a black samurai outfit and carrying a large sword, entered. His face was somewhat frightening, resembling a wolf. He spoke in a solemn, somewhat foreign dialect, the accent of which was unclear. It seemed to emanate from an old man named Lin.
He answered, "Young Master Chai, a young gentleman has arrived and thrown gold leaves all over the ground. He wants to book the entire place and has everyone else driven away."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Wang quickly stood up and said, "Please wait here, gentlemen. I'll go see what's going on. Who's got the guts to do this? Let me teach him a lesson."
The second young master of the Chai family nodded slightly. Then he stopped paying attention. The second young master of the Huang family didn't even look up; he was busy flirting.
Tears welled in the eyes of the person being teased, but the others ignored them. The second young master of the Huang family even chuckled wickedly, his face beaming with joy.
Young Master Wang immediately came down from the second floor. At this moment, the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone was waiting to see what would happen to Dexinglou. Would they clear the place out, or would they clear it out?
The rather attractive woman, seeing the young master Wang descend, instantly felt reassured. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Prince, you've come at the right time. This young hero needs to clear the area and was just looking for someone to take charge."
Young Master Wang quickly came down and saw dozens of gold leaves scattered all over the ground. If the two young masters weren't around, he would have made money from this, but now, there was no way he could.
So he politely stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Young hero, where do you come from?"
