The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 191 - Old Beggar
One by one the swordsman had left his place, now Xin Fai was waiting for the goods for one to two minutes until nothing else moved from his row. He started talking.
"Well, the one who stands here I presume to have laid down his life on me. You are brave, never complain even if the tip of the sword is stuck in your heart!"
Not in hindsight did these warriors see their new leader, the young man was like a warrior who had waded through a sea of blood for decades. His gaze was as if he had seen thousands of deaths and there was not the slightest bit of hesitation visible there.
"In addition, I will implement a new rule in the group. We'll use the system that the Blood Devil Man uses."
Zhu Yue frowned in surprise at the words but she was too curious and chose silence to listen first.
"In order to suppress the number of these Demonic Blood Humans, I want one of you to be able to kill at least fifty people in one base. Anyone who can get that many kills I'll give you five hundred gold pieces for free, the more you kill I'll pay more."
Zhu Yue held back her talk. "But Chairman, where are we going to get that much funding?" The man looked at the warriors who became very excited. They felt lucky that they did not immediately leave this place.
"I have a lot, after all when we go to their headquarters we will get a lot of treasure. Don't say this to them first, so that they get used to the system and always try to chase the gold..."
Zhu Yue became a little afraid of this system, she turned her head towards the swordsman before her who would soon become a bloodthirsty demon. "Isn't it like this we're no different from the Blood Demon Man?" muttered.
Xin Fai smiled.
"I don't care if this action is wrong or not, I will continue to do it and they have chosen this path with me. At least with this only we are sinners, and everyone does not need to feel sorrow anymore because of the Blood Man Devil."
"Ah... I don't know, how else. Whatever happens I'll keep on with you."
"Please help, Senior Zhu."
"All right..." Zhu Yue scratched the nape of her head awkwardly called out so, "If you need help just tell me straight away."
"Actually I'm also looking for something right now as well as this item I'm looking for in their biggest headquarters."
The man's eyebrows rose revealing his curious expression, he brought his ears closer when he sensed it was important.
"I want to find all Mustika 7 Seasons."
"That must...?" Zhu Yue was still unsure. "That mustika earth, are you sure you want to find the seven mustika? With the Holy Sword Alliance not necessarily we will get it..."
"I don't care, as long as I'm gonna keep looking for her." Xin Fai recalled that golden wolf figure, it was true that lately he had always been reminded of his chatty mouth.
Zhu Yue could only respond to just that before permission left to prepare the luggage, Xin Fai immediately took care of other matters while waiting for the members of the alliance to have prepared in his place.
Preparations took a rather long time because Xin Fai had to seek the approval of the Imperial Pillars, though, it was fortunate that Yang Guifei immediately let out his voice and said that he would take the risk of this decision if something bad happened. The Imperial Advisor could only remain silent when the woman definitely said so.
Xin Fai could only thank Yang Guifei for helping him, after taking care of everything else finally the Sacred Sword Alliance gained the full approval of the Shang Empire and was allowed to make a move.
After all, the Holy Sword Alliance was a group formed directly by Emperor Qin, the robe they used was not just any and also seen from their horses it must have been the horse with the best strength the Empire had.
Residents of Renwu City were amazed for a moment and distracted by the horse troupe, before finally a man in tattered clothes blocked their way.
Zhu Yue dismounted from her horse as the old man stood right before them as if not afraid of death, his great clothes patched by shabby cloth swayed when blown by the wind but the frail body never moved even though the warriors in front of him began to react annoyed.
"Come aside, Old Man! We don't have much time to play around with you!" one of the members grumbled lazily, it was inevitable that the gazes of the residents were distracted at all of them.
No matter he was being gossiped continuously the old man was still unmoved, he stared fixedly at the young man in the red, gold-plated robe very thoroughly.
Zhu Yue as the vice chairman felt responsible for this, he intended to get rid of the man who was most likely a beggar.
"Old man, our company is blocked by you. If you stay here don't blame us if these horses step on you."
No answer made Zhu Yue very upset.
"I'm just telling you to give us a way, does that look hard to do?" The man's tone began to be unpleasant to hear. Xin Fai got off her horse realizing the situation was starting to worsen.
"Is there anything we can help you with?"
"You're the leader of them all?" The beggar man asked directly after previously being silent like a statue, he glared at Xin Fai's face even further.
"It's true."
"Then come with me."
Zhu Yue was getting angrier seeing the old man's behavior, she hoped that Xin Fai would bully her to make the man aware of who he was dealing with. Of course his attitude was like disrespecting the people of the Empire. Although there are no written rules about it, but still the moral law applies.
"Chairman! Don't listen to the old man's words, he's just tricking you! Actually he just wants to beg." Finally one of the members of the Sacred Sword Alliance voiced his opinion. Others agree with him, those who have experience in traveling must know this more. Some have been lazy to deal with beggars and choose to silence and even bully them.
But unfortunately their Chairman was not one voice with them, he felt the figure of this shabby man was not a careless person because he had enough inner strength when compared to a great swordsman.
"I'll follow this guy, you guys wait a minute at the wine shop. I'll be back when business is over."
Zhu Yue exhaled in a disappointed breath, she raised one hand. "I'm coming with you."
The great warrior in the horse troupe again said. "Oh, we also do not want to wait for the actual Chairman. Let us come along to see what this old man wants."
