Immortal Warriors
IW 25 - Black Scorpion Sect

After leaving the Jiayang Capital, Ling Zhen left to continue his journey towards the Qing Empire. But before arriving at his homeland, Ling Zhen searched for clues about the group of the Demon Worshiping Sect in the Jia Empire.

In the course of Ling Zhen often met with merchants, and according to the stories of one merchant and other merchants, if there was an association that could possibly provide information about the Demon Worship Sect.

But after going through a journey that was quite draining of energy and mind, Ling Zhen finally began to re-feel the effects of the Blood Poison Beast. Especially after his fight against the top brass of the Moon Style House, Ling Zhen felt that he was not in such a bad shape.

‘Human boy, so what are your plans next? After having me search the Moon Style House headquarters in Jiayang Capital, isn't there an interesting file that gives you some information?’ The White Fox looked at Ling Zhen who was sitting down while eating grilled meat.

Ling Zhen ate the final grilled meat before sighing deeply, “Blue Moon Pavilion, they are a group of merchants selling a wide variety of resources. I heard, the Blue Moon Pavilion opened one of its branches in the Jia Empire. I'll go over there and sell this resource of mine.”

The White Fox yawned hearing Ling Zhen's words, then leaped onto Ling Zhen's head before silent a thousand speechless languages.

‘Can't you walk alone? Always sleep in my head, you fucking fox!’ Ling Zhen sat down and continued on his way.

‘I can hear the voice of your heart, boy man.’ The White Fox rebuked Ling Zhen who was talking about it.

Ling Zhen laughed softly, “Sorry, even if you are this kind of person, you are still the container of the Spirit Gods, I forgot about it.”

‘Your words really suck!’

The place Ling Zhen was aiming for was the border town. A city directly adjacent to the Qing Empire.

On the way Ling Zhen always asked about the direction towards Qifei City. Until finally after one week of leaving the Jiayang Capital, Ling Zhen met with a merchant carriage troupe that happened to also be heading for Qifei City.

The merchant carriage troupe felt lucky by Ling Zhen's presence, because in addition to being able to become a bodyguard, Ling Zhen was also variously Beast meat with them.

“Mr Ling, we are very lucky to meet you on the road.” A middle-aged man ate a voraciously seasoned grilled meat.

“True, thanks to Mr. Ling, the robbers who confronted us did not dwell in the slightest.” Other traders responded.

Ling Zhen only replied to each merchant's words with a faint smile, then he sat down alone to increase the number of power circles in his possession.

While waiting for the morning to arrive, Ling Zhen decided to train. Around where he meditated there was a Spirit Gem encircling his body.

While Ling Zhen was training, the White Fox actually slept soundly in Ling Zhen's head.

Looking at the meditating Ling Zhen, the merchants did not dare to disturb him. But the merchants' gazes were directed at a white fox that had fallen asleep on Ling Zhen's head.

When morning arrived, Ling Zhen resumed his journey. There were no meaningful obstacles on the way, but after the distance between the merchant entourage and Qifei City got closer, Ling Zhen met a group of robbers named the Black Scorpion Sect.

According to the merchant entourage that was with him, the Black Scorpion Sect was a large black flow group in the Jia Empire. The Black Scorpion Sect group made the people restless because this group always moved from one place to another just to loot.

“Stop! Leave your treasures and women! Then you will die without pain!” A man with a golden-coloured spear came across, behind him were robbers numbering in their thirties.

“Uncle, what happens if I kill them?” Ling Zhen asked the frightened merchant.

“Master Ling, their leader has high abilities even on par with the higher-ups of the Blood Moon Alliance. I think if you kill them, then their leader will not stay silent,” said the merchant.

Ling Zhen stood up and opened his palm, “You guys just close your ears and don't look at anything. Because what's going to happen up there is a death cry.”

The moment the Nine Dragons Sword appeared on his palm, Ling Zhen leaped up and faced the robbers head-on.

“What is your business young man? Are you the bodyguard of this merchant troupe?” The man holding the golden spear walked up to Ling Zhen, and was about to touch his shoulder.

But before his left hand touched Ling Zhen's shoulder, his hand broke and followed by his right hand.

“What-” The man widened his eyes before shouting.

In just one swing, Ling Zhen killed the man quickly. Then looked at the robber who was looking at him.

“You will not survive after dealing with us! The city you are heading to has been controlled by the Black Scorpion Sect, the leader will not stay idle-” When one of the robbers is about to threaten him, Ling Zhen quickly draws his sword at the mouth of the robber.

The ability of the robbers was the Peak Stage Gold Swordsman, of course for Ling Zhen all the robbers who confronted him were not a threat.

“Before asking someone's name, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?” Ling Zhen smirked at the frightened expression of the robbers.

As they were about to escape, the bodies of the robbers fell down one after another accompanied by the sound of sword slashes and shouts.

A few minutes later, there was no more shouting. Ling Zhen finished off all the robbers, then put the Nine Dragons Sword back into the God Space.

Seeing the bodies of the robbers lying down, one of the merchants invited the other traders to bury the bodies of the robbers.

Ling Zhen, who was initially unconcerned, helped the merchants bury the robbers' bodies.

‘Why am I impressed like a villain?’ Ling Zhen scratched his head at the sight of the merchants praying for the robbers.

‘Do not make killing a common thing, human boy.’ The White Fox approached Ling Zhen after waking up from his sleep.

‘You mean?’ Ling Zhen looked at the White Fox and asked.

‘Find out yourself.’ The White Fox entered the merchant carriage followed by the merchants.

The merchants had intended to return because they heard that Qifei City was controlled by the Black Scorpion Sect.

“Mr Ling, it looks like we're parting ways here. Thanks for your help.” It was seen that the merchants were afraid to continue their journey towards Qifei City.

Ling Zhen did not insist and parted with the merchant entourage, then continued his words towards Qifei City.
