Chapter 167 The Transmigrated Boy Used as Cannon Fodder (XIV) Xiao...
Xiao Fengming tucked the wine flask he had been clutching into his sleeve before explaining, "I have an old friend whose elders loved strong liquor."
Yan Junke's father loved alcohol, especially strong liquor. Last year, he used alcohol to get Yan Junke to fight with him.
Unfortunately, this guy was prepared this year and sent the old man away in advance. But it doesn't matter. With this kind of wine, we're not afraid that Yan Junke won't come to us on his own!
Mo Kaiyang had previously bought a bottle of wine worth two jin (approximately 1 kg) of reputation points, which he divided into twenty small wine jugs. He didn't like drinking this stuff, so it didn't matter if he gave it all away.
But he can't carry all those wine jugs on his person; if he takes them all out, there will be a problem.
He rummaged through his luggage, pulled out two bottles, and tossed them to Xiao Fengming, gesturing for him to come and check on the unconscious female boss.
“This woman seems to be one of your gang members, a female protector who committed a crime.” Mo Kaiyang originally wanted to hand her over to him, but Xiao Fengming shook his head decisively, indicating that he did not know her.
Seeing Mo Kaiyang's incredulous look, he added, "The protectors of the Seven Kill Gang all earned their positions through their own abilities. Before, they rotated every year, but in the last two years, they've been changing every two months. I'm lucky if I can even get to know the left and right protectors; I don't have time to remember anyone's girls."
Seeing Mo Kaiyang's dumbfounded expression, Xiao Fengming's mood improved considerably. "If you like fighting, you can come and be my protector for a few days. I guarantee you'll have a different fight every day. With your martial arts skills, you should be able to last a year without needing a replacement."
"No thanks, I'm not crazy." Mo Kaiyang refused decisively. "What are we going to do with this person? We can't just leave him here."
If he really abandoned her, her life would be in danger, but sending her back also seemed quite perilous, and Mo Kaiyang really couldn't do that.
Seeing his reaction, Xiao Fengming didn't show any womanly compassion. He took out a whistle and blew it twice. Soon, an ordinary-looking man appeared in front of them, picked up the woman, and quickly ran away.
"Wow, amazing!" Mo Kaiyang exclaimed, looking at the whistle. In modern times, with GPS systems, there are still people who can't find their way. But here, there's no GPS. It's incredible that they can manage with just a whistle.
Xiao Fengming pretended not to see his curious gaze, put the whistle into his sleeve, and walked towards the town first.
Mo Kaiyang hurriedly chased after him. He had no desire to sleep in the desert again, especially not under the open sky.
As the two walked and chatted, Mo Kaiyang not only learned the man's real name, but also the reason why he was secretly loitering on his own turf.
The Seven Kills Gang is an assassin organization, but in the beginning, they took on jobs from the most vicious people: bandits who burned, killed, and robbed, harming countless people; treacherous and cunning merchants who cheated many people; and even local officials who committed evil deeds.
Although they did indeed take money to do things, their reputation in the underworld was still quite good.
"But money can corrupt people's hearts. I don't know when it started, but the orders the gang received became more and more expensive, and the screening of assassination targets became more and more perfunctory. By the time the old gang leader found out about this, it was too late to do anything about it." Xiao Fengming sighed.
Five years ago, after he took over the Seven Kills Gang, he forbade the gang from taking assassination jobs. Their gang didn't have many members, and they all had martial arts skills, so they could easily make a living.
Unfortunately, people who were used to a life of luxury were not willing to settle down. At first, intimidated by his strength and the money they had saved up, those people were relatively well-behaved for two years.
After discovering that Xiao Fengming didn't like to get involved in things, they started secretly engaging in some shady business.
He only found out what had happened after Yan Junke told him.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Mo Kaiyang tentatively asked, "Is it about human trafficking? Robbery? Murder? Forcing women into prostitution? Scamming and deception? ... These kinds of things?"
The reason he came here was naturally because the introduction to the martial arts forces mentioned the Seven Kill Gang. Xiao Fengming's expression changed immediately upon hearing his words.
All he knew was the murder and robbery; where did he get the other information Mo Kaiyang mentioned?
Watching his face change color five or six times, from black to white, then to pale, Mo Kaiyang finally confirmed that this guy was indeed unaware of the situation.
His book on martial arts factions was very detailed. Mo Kaiyang had been studying it a lot recently, so he recited it to Xiao Fengming.
It's about where the Grand Elder led whom to kill how many people and how much he stole.
Where did the Second Elder abduct, how many children did he sell, and where did he sell them?
In the brothels run by the Third Elder, how many people were forced to sell themselves into slavery or prostitution?
And how many of these people were victims of a honey trap set by the Fourth Elder, who swindled them out of their fortunes and forced them to use their children as collateral for debts?
………
Mo Kaiyang kept talking nonstop. When he forgot something, Lin You reminded him. After he finished speaking, Xiao Fengming realized that none of the high-ranking members of the Seven Kill Gang were clean.
Mo Kaiyang couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, "There aren't many people here, but it feels almost as chaotic as the imperial court in the Central Plains."
Xiao Fengming: ………
What a vicious metaphor!
Seeing his new friend's furrowed brow, Mo Kaiyang couldn't help but blurt out a bad idea.
“If a country is rotten to the core, it will perish. When a new dynasty emerges, even though you are not a country, the nature is the same. A new emperor brings a new court. They just find someone to put on a show for you, doing this and that…”
The more Mo Kaiyang spoke, the stranger Xiao Fengming looked at him. This guy looked harmless, but he seemed even more sinister than himself.
What normal person would use rebellion as a metaphor when coming up with an idea? But this idea is quite good.
Xiao Fengming cupped his hands in greeting to Mo Kaiyang, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Kaiyang."
Mo Kaiyang, who had only meant to speak his mind, was immediately dumbfounded. "What do you mean? You've decided on this? Aren't you going to discuss it with a trusted confidant or friend?"
"Besides that old friend Yan Junke, only you, Kaiyang, have seen my true face."
Xiao Fengming curled his lips, his cold and handsome face melting away like ice and snow. Even Mo Kaiyang, who grew up in modern times, thought that this guy was indeed very handsome.
However, compared to him, she's still a tiny bit lacking.
Lin You didn't comment on his statement, but instead imitated Mo Kaiyang's tone and said cheekily, "Need acting training or martial arts instruction? One-on-one teaching, guaranteed to teach you everything, great value for money, tuition is only five packs of spicy strips."
Mo Kaiyang's spicy strips were completely different from the ones she bought in the system store. Not only were the ingredient lists clean, but the taste was also more than ten times better. Even Lin You, who doesn't usually eat spicy strips, became somewhat addicted to them.
"No, three packs at most. I only have seven packs left in stock this month!" Mo Kaiyang bargained. The goods in his Golden Finger Mall also had stock, which was refreshed once a month. With his and Lin You's joint efforts, the spicy strips were almost sold out in just half a month.
"Wait, I haven't agreed to act with him yet, what am I going to do with tuition fees now? Also, aren't you a system? How come you have so many skills?" You can even act, huh? It can't be that some mission target is doing too badly and needs her to go into the entertainment industry to support her family.
When the two returned to the city, it was nearly midnight. Mo Kaiyang did not stay at a restaurant or inn, but instead followed Xiao Fengming to his private residence.
While eating the lamb skewers that Master Xiao had gone out in the middle of the night to have the chef specially grill for him, Mo Kaiyang ultimately did not refuse to help.
As for Lin You, his acting teacher, he resigned himself to paying the tuition, since he couldn't use his own sword techniques. He still wanted to become a renowned swordsman in the future.
The rebellion was scheduled for five days later. Xiao Fengming went back to prepare after dawn. After all, as the leader of the sect, he had to come out of seclusion and show his face before he could seize power and take over the throne.
During this time, Mo Kaiyang lived on his territory, and Xiao Fengming even gave him a whistle that could summon guards. If he needed anything, he could just blow the whistle to call for help.
Mo Kaiyang's interest in the secret guard grew even stronger. He went to the rooftops, the corners of houses, the trees, and the crowded streets to whistle, and the secret guard was always able to find him accurately. He was truly amazing.
After playing a few times, Mo Kaiyang felt too embarrassed to bother them, so he stayed in the courtyard and practiced the sword techniques that Lin You had prepared for him.
This set of sword moves is actually an evolution of a sword technique from the cultivation world. Its biggest feature is its gorgeousness. Not only is it cool and elegant to perform, but it also looks unfathomable. However, without sufficient spiritual energy to support it, it is just an empty shell.
Mo Kaiyang had a foundation in martial arts and was indeed exceptionally perceptive. Lin You only demonstrated it twice, and he was already learning it quite well.
After the sword techniques, movement, and even witnesses were all arranged, the city began to build momentum, and a challenge was posted on the bulletin board on the main street.
The above statement, written with righteous indignation, essentially said that he couldn't stand the Seven Killings Demonic Sect's scourge upon the people and had decided to rid the world of this scourge. He declared that he would single-handedly defeat the Seven Killings Demonic Sect in three days. The signatory was none other than Xiao Fengming.
This incident caused a great stir in Oasis City, and even rumors spread outside. Some people who love to join in the fun and are willing to risk their lives came to watch.
Xiao Fengming originally planned to have someone disguise him, but Mo Kaiyang waved his hand, indicating that he knew a little bit about it himself.
He then compared himself to Xiao Fengming in front of him and spent half an hour fiddling with his face in front of the mirror. When he finished, the two people in the mirror looked about 80% alike.
The battle three days later naturally ended with "Xiao Fengming" winning a great victory. The cheers of the onlookers resounded through the sky. No one noticed that the "Xiao Fengming" who defeated the leader of the Demonic Sect had been quietly replaced by another person.
Mo Kaiyang, posing as Xiao Fengming's friend, finally found his destination: the breathtakingly beautiful cold pool and the incredibly delicious silver fish.
Upon hearing that he planned to go fishing, Xiao Fengming gave him a strange look and let him go, not caring that the place was supposed to be a forbidden area of the sect and his place of seclusion.
He has a lot to deal with, which is nothing compared to this guy's leisurely life.
The news that had shaken the martial arts world spread quickly spread that the Seven Kill Demonic Sect had been attacked by a swordsman named Xiao Fengming. After defeating the twelve hall masters, the left and right protectors, and the seven elders, he then confronted the newly emerged leader of the Demonic Sect. The two fought back and forth for three days and three nights, and finally the great demon was slain by Xiao Fengming's sword.
The Seven Kill Gang has now changed hands. The once heinous gang leader, protectors, and elders have all been executed and the gang has been renamed the Seven Kill Sect, completely reforming itself.
Outside the Seven Killings Sect, there stands a stone tablet taller than a person, with words carved on it using Xiao Fengming's sword, exuding a murderous aura.
The treacherous t, kill!
Those who bully the weak, kill them!
Those who traffic people shall be killed!
Those who commit murder and robbery shall be killed!
Those who rob and plunder, kill them!
Those who cheat and swindle, kill them!
Those who are utterly wicked shall be killed!
Once the Seven Killers technique was circulated in the martial arts world, even petty thieves couldn't help but shrink back and dare not show their faces.
Behind the Seven Killings Sect's headquarters, at Xiao Fengming's secluded training ground, Mo Kaiyang was fishing in the icy pool with his fishing rod.
Xiao Fengming was right next to him, watching helplessly as he fished for three days, changing seven or eight different kinds of bait, but still couldn't catch a single fish.
"Hey Master Xiao, what did you feed this fish to grow up like this? It won't eat anything!" He had bet half of his spicy snacks for next month to Lin You, and he would lose face if he lost.
As soon as Mo Kaiyang finished speaking, the float on the water moved a few times before returning to calm. When he pulled the hook out, the bait he had specially prepared was indeed all eaten.
Xiao Fengming flipped through the sect's ledgers and casually replied, "They're easy to feed, aren't they? They've all eaten."
Seeing that Mo Kaiyang had finally given up fishing, Lin You explained to him, "There is a bit of spiritual energy in this cold pool. The fish that can survive in this kind of water are very clever. You probably won't catch a single one even if you cast a net, let alone bait it."
Mo Kaiyang touched the temperature of the pool water and finally gave up the idea of going down to catch fish. But if he wanted to use a net, it seemed like he didn't have a long enough bamboo pole.
In the end, Xiao Fengming finished reading the account book, drew his sword, and with a flash of light, the water in the pool splashed up more than three feet high. When the water returned to calm, four small fish were already pierced through the sword.
