Chapter 188 Wind and Thunder Tattoos on His Body, Punching Down Gangsters
"Welcome to Guiling City, my two senior disciples. The banquet and music are ready, please—"
Ding Mingzhen, the true disciple of Xiongming Peak, wore a dark black fitted long robe, with a black jade pendant hanging from his waist and a silver iron fan in his hand. He had a rather handsome face.
He smiled broadly and cupped his hands in greeting.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Lord Wang. Some time ago, my brother Wei and I went to the outskirts of Dongji Capital to gather intelligence. We're just here to rest."
"No need for that. As fellow disciples of the Holy Sect, we should help each other out when we're out and about. As the host, it's only right that I, Wang, entertain you. Senior Brother Ding, just call me Junior Brother. City Lord, you're being too formal."
"Then Ding Ming will accept without hesitation, Junior Brother Wang~"
"Senior Brother Ding!"
Wang Yu's ability to speak to people in a way that suits them perfectly is unparalleled. At first glance, it's impossible to discern his true nature. However, Ding Ming is clearly a clever man who excels at maintaining appearances.
Feeling ignored, Wei Shanze snorted coldly, pushed Wang Yu aside without any politeness, and walked towards the main hall.
"Forget the fake politeness, you two are just smiling tigers."
"You've been exhausted these past few days. Quickly bring out all the good stuff, and prepare three beautiful concubines for this true disciple to serve you in bed. Let's go—"
Wei Shanze was rather square-shaped, broad-shouldered and burly, and over nine feet tall. He also dressed rather boldly.
She wore shorts with a tiger-head belt, her upper body was mostly naked except for a half-leather armor-like garment on her left side, and her wild black hair was haphazardly draped over her shoulders.
He gives the impression of being a big, burly man with a muddled mind.
"Junior Brother Wang, don't mind him. Brother Wei has always been like this. Let's go in too."
"hehe--
"Senior Brother Ding, please come along too."
Wang Yu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was extremely displeased.
What kind of personality is this? If Wei Shanze were to go through this with a Nascent Soul cultivator, do you think he would be nerfed? What kind of bold personality is this? Useless!
It's simply a matter of treating people differently based on their status.
Once inside the main hall, the true purpose behind the two men's actions became clear.
Ding Ming: "Junior Brother Wang, why isn't Brother Zhuo here? I heard he arrived here quite early."
Wei Shanze had already sat down, seemingly eating meat and drinking wine heartily, but in reality, he kept his ears on him the whole time.
Wang Yu was slightly suspicious.
Why bother with Zhuo Shouqing? And why give him a hard time? Is it for Zhuo Lao Er's benefit? We have no grudge against each other...
After thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"Brother Zhuo has gone to Yunmeng Pavilion to visit Yunniang. If you two would like to go, I can have someone take you there for a chat."
"No need, no need. It was just a casual remark. Why bother Junior Brother Wang? Since you've prepared all this, let's eat first."
After Ding Ming refused, he actually sat down and started drinking.
Wang Yu could only suppress his doubts and accompany him. When eating, drinking, and having fun, there was always something to talk about, and at the moment, Dongjijing was a good hot topic.
Ding Ming took the initiative to talk about his recent gains at the ruins: "Junior Brother Wang, you live so close to the ruins, have you been there?"
"Never."
"That's a real shame. Recently, Dongji Jing has been attracting more and more people. If you had set off earlier, you might have had a better chance of getting the moon first."
“I, Wang, am not so lucky. Since Senior Brother Ding is here, the treasure will naturally be yours.”
"Hahaha, thank you for your kind words, junior brother."
"You're too kind, senior brother."
"Bang—"
The two of them kept praising each other and flattering each other as they talked. Before this probing had yielded any results, Wei Shanze couldn't hold back any longer.
He slammed his hand on the table, shattering it to pieces, and roared.
"What are you two buzzing around like flies?! I can't even eat in peace! What are you staring at me for? Want to fight?"
Wang Yu quickly retreated, glancing at Ding Ming out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that he also looked annoyed, he immediately understood that Wei Shanze was not acting under his orders. He really was a brute.
Surprised, Wei Shanze lunged at him, calling out as he did so.
"I hate pretty boys like you more than anything else in my life. I'm in a bad mood today, so come here and let me vent my anger."
"That's hilarious, you really think highly of yourself."
Fighting is out of the question; we can only use the power of the formation to maintain the dignity of the city lord.
Under Wang Yu's divine sense, the Vajra Chains instantly bound Wei Shanze tightly. Wei Shanze seemed surprised and hesitated for a moment before unleashing his physical strength to break free.
But... it was no use. Dozens or even hundreds of Vajra chains, constructed from arrays, bound it up like a caterpillar.
Ding Ming burst into laughter, as if to vent his pent-up frustration.
"Wei Shanze, I've tolerated you all this way. You idiot, you don't even know that the City Lord's Mansion is protected by an array. You're a disgrace to the Wei family."
Judging from his tone, the Wei family seems to have produced quite a few remarkable people? Wang Yu was somewhat puzzled.
Wei Shanze was even more stunned: "Ding Ming, didn't you say you were going to give this kid a hard time? You even said you were short of money, and Guiling City is a fertile land, so you came here specifically to teach him a lesson."
"You're talking nonsense. You're trying to slander me at a time like this."
Ding Ming looked at Wang Yu, about to explain, when he saw even more Vajra chains pointing their wedges at him.
Lord Wang's face was cold, and his words were quite impolite.
"I don't care what you're up to or what kind of show you're putting on."
"Since Wang arrived in Guiling City, he has wiped out two clans in the first year, including the Bai family, which had a Foundation Establishment peak cultivator."
"You once ordered the massacre of Guiling Jinmanlou, and you've offended me. You won't be leaving here alive today."
Ding Ming was taken aback. He had messed up. He hadn't expected the city lord to be insane.
Wei Shanze's eyes widened as well.
"Slaughtering Jin Manlou...you little...Junior Brother Wang, you have extraordinary courage! I was confused for a moment and was instigated by a villain. Quickly put me down."
Wang Yu was a little unsure about their reaction.
These two have been in Yunling Prefecture for months and this is all the information they've gathered? What Wang has done is not only renowned throughout the entire Crimson Phoenix Demon Realm, but also quite famous in Yunling Prefecture.
Moreover, Guiling City, the epicenter of the storm, is known to almost everyone, and has been a hot topic among cultivators for some time.
Judging from their appearance, they didn't seem to be going out to gather information.
They may not even have had contact with the locals, since that's the only way it makes sense.
It must be... that they went directly into the Dongjijing ruins, discovered some thorny problem, or rather, some mysterious object they didn't understand, and that's why they came to find Zhuo Shouqing?
Zhuo Shouqing may lack ability, but he has a high social status and knows many secrets.
As he pondered, Wang Yu gradually figured out the two men's intentions, and felt more confident. He looked at Ding Ming.
"Xie Xie'an sent you, didn't he?"
Ding Ming's eyes flickered, and he chuckled awkwardly.
"How could that be? I just came here to rest for a few days. This barbarian insisted on following me, which I didn't want, so I wanted to teach him a lesson. I didn't expect Brother Wei to really know nothing about the garrison lord... Ha~"
"You're talking nonsense! It was you! You're the one who told me to do this!"
Before Wang Yu could answer, Wei Shanze became unhappy again. Even though his body was tied up like a caterpillar, he stretched his head out, as if he wanted to smash Wang Yu's head against him.
Enough—
"Speak, what does Xie Xie'an want to ask Zhuo Shouqing?"
"If I'm in a good mood, I'll ask for you. If I'm not, then don't go out. Wait until the matter of the Dongjijing Ruins is over before you go out."
A moment of silence fell over the room. Wei Shanze remained silent, while Ding Ming pondered for a while before finally smiling.
"I didn't expect Junior Brother Wang to see through me. I'm ashamed."
Wang Yu could see through their intentions simply because he trusted Zhuo Shouqing. Since he said he had no grudge against these two, then he truly had no grudge against them.
However, these three true disciples have come from afar together, and their own strength is not enough to dominate the ancient ruins, so the possibility of them cooperating is extremely high.
Most of their conflicts were just acting.
A small part... well, it was genuine. Wei Shanze was just venting his frustrations. Disrespecting Wang Yu was part of his plan, and insulting Ding Ming as well was just his little scheme.
This guy is quite interesting; he's rough around the edges but meticulous at heart.
It must be said that after thinking it through, Wang Yu's opinion of Wei Shanze changed slightly.
"Tell me about it."
Ding Ming nodded, pulled a stool from a messy pile of broken wood, sat down, and said leisurely.
"Xie Xie asked me to inquire with Zhuo Shouqing about the fate of the sword cultivators and the soul demons. As for more details, I don't know."
"ending……"
A glint of light flashed in Wang Yu's eyes. It seemed that Xie Xie'an also knew this story. Did he think that Zhuo Shouqing knew the ending? But when Wang Yu asked last time, the second brother said he didn't know.
The reason for asking this question is that traces left by this ancient demonic cultivator of the Soul Path were discovered in Dongjijing, and it is even very likely that they are in the [Jingzhao Suppressing Evil Prison].
The Rakshasa True Demon Scripture, the Asura Killing Scripture!
These two originate from the same source, so what if they were to combine in some strange way?
Take, for example, the Bloody Shackles and Chains. These ancient artifacts, specially crafted to seal away evil spirits, would be quite illogical to possess the ability to bewitch minds, no matter how you look at it.
Ding Ming suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Wang seems to know?"
Wang Yu nodded: "It's just a guess, it may not be the truth."
"Could you please tell me a little bit?"
"cannot."
Ding Ming was taken aback, and his expression began to falter.
“Ding and Wei are the true disciples of Liangfeng. If you help us today, you will definitely need this favor in the future.”
“That’s true, but I only care about the present. We can discuss this later. Since Senior Brother Ding didn’t take action, the friend who pays 50,000 spirit stones for repairs will suffice. As for Wei Shanze…”
Wang Yu moved his wrists, and under the control of his divine sense, the dense Vajra chains began to split, revealing most of Wei Shanze who had been tightly wrapped up.
Only the limbs and neck remained firmly bound.
The next moment.
The Wind and Thunder Secret Technique, which he had practiced for several months, suddenly activated on Wang Yu's body. Amidst the roar of wind and thunder, dazzling blue lightning and simple, unadorned cyan gale burst forth on his fist.
The dragon roared, accompanied by wind and thunder!
Wei Shanze felt pain all over his body, and his eyes almost popped out!
"ah--"
