The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 76: The Wang Family

The Mu family was not a family with a strong reputation in Stone Town, only a small merchant family that was engaged in food and had three restaurants that were quite in demand. The Mu Family was also not a noble family, but when one of the family members, namely the eldest son of the Mu family entered into being an outer disciple in one of the white-flow middle sects made this family a little bit of a look.

The eldest son of the Mu family was named Weng and his youngest son was named Wang. Weng and Wang are twin brothers. But both have different talents, Weng who has a talent for cultivation and Wang is talented in the field of economics following in the footsteps of his parents.

As the reputation of the Mu family is increasingly seen as making one of his sons, Wang has the opportunity to get engaged to one of the daughter of a wealthy family in the city, Meimei.

Both families have determined the time of the wedding, and of course warmly welcomed by every family member. Moreover, the marriage of these two families will further strengthen their family's economic position in Stone City.

But an incident happened to Wang which became the beginning of the cause of the breakup of the marriage agreement of Wang and Meimei. It is also the cause of the rupture of the relationship between the two families.

The news that a silver-bred teenage boy named Yang Jian cut off Wang's hands and tortured him to be between life and death made the Meimei family break the engagement unilaterally. The main reason is if the Meimei family does not accept if the daughter-in-law in the family is physically disabled.

Weng, who did not accept his family's pride, stepped on the examination to find out who was the person behind all the incidents that happened to Wang. Relying on his influence as one of the outer disciples of the White Cloud Sect, Weng suppressed the economy of the Meimei family and paid a cultivator to capture Yang Jian.

As of this moment, Weng's men were holding Yang Jian in front of the city gate because one of the traits described by Weng was on him, that was Yang Jian's silver hair that was different from the others.

"Young master, not the presumptuous intention of interrupting your important time. But we must hold you back for a moment before our master arrives." One of the young men dressed as bodyguards invited Yang Jian over to talk for time.

The young man was without caution when talking to Yang Jian, it was because he was unable to read Yang Jian's practice, however the aura coming out of his body was indeed unusual and signified that Yang Jian was not an indiscriminate person.

Yang Jian did not protest as the two bodyguards left the main gate, which was believed to be the one who was about to call their master. As Yang Jian turned his head around, he frowned.

"What does this mean?" Yang Jian's tone of voice was deep and cold, a sign that he did not like the way the bodyguard treated him.

Hearing that the people in front of him to the point of having to call his master to check on Yang Jian had already made a huge question mark on his mind. And now, the guards let everyone pass by and guarded Yang Jian like a suspect.

In front of the gate were four bodyguards left, two of them were in front of Yang Jian and two more stood some distance away to the left and right of Yang Jian. But it was obvious that they were on alert if Yang Jian intended to escape.

"Sorry for the inconvenience of this young master, but there are important things that we cannot explain. Please be patient in a moment to wait for our master to arrive." The young man who had previously spoken to Yang Jian tried to act calm, but actually his back was already shaking just hearing Yang Jian's voice.

"Do I have to wait when you order me to wait?" Highlight Yang Jian's eyes turned sharp, as sharp as eagle eyes. The four men retreated one step with trembling backs.

They felt as if there was a strong energy that was going out for a second that made their knees tighten. It cannot detect where the energy is coming from.

"We've spoken well but you don't want to understand, it seems like violence suits you better" while looking at Yang Jian with a fearless and defiant gaze, he said, the same young man again strengthened his heart to commemorate Yang Jian.

"You're not in a position where you have the right to govern me." Simultaneously, Yang Jian activated his guanghan science and suppressed the bodyguards. Suddenly the eyes of the four bodyguards glared wide, his entire body shaking violently. Slowly their bodies slumped to the ground like hundreds of kilos of rocks were falling on their bodies.

"What's going on? Why are they on their knees?"

There were whispers of people still faithfully observing Yang Jian and the four bodyguards.

"They're counting the number of ants on the ground." Barren Yang Jian as he passed leaving the city gate. The citizens who heard Yang Jian's reply simultaneously stared at the ground and looked for the ant that Yang Jian said, but found nothing.

Before long a young man came with two others behind him, the man wearing a white cloud-patterned robe, the man was Weng and the two bodyguards who had previously picked him up.

"Where is he? And what are you guys doing there?" Weng felt astonished to see his subordinates kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed.

"They're counting the number of ants on the ground." An old man who was still standing in front of the city gate answered exactly with Yang Jian's reply.

"Did I ask you to speak?" Sahut Weng arrogantly, he then approached his four subordinates. As Weng raised one of the bodyguards, how shocked he was when he saw fresh blood flowing from his nose and mouth plus the cold sweat that soaked their entire face.

"How dare! So you're trying to play games with me? All right, I'll follow your play." While staring far away, Weng clenched tightly his hands.

Now Yang Jian was eating at a fairly large two-story tavern. Yang Jian ordered a plate of toast filled with grilled meat, a cup of pure milk and a few other snacks. Sitting for approximately half an hour while enjoying the dish before him made Yang Jian finally understand why he was being held at the city gate earlier.

Now that the entire gaze of the tavern visitor was pointed towards Yang Jian's desk, Yang Jian deliberately chose the most corner table near the window. Until when he became the center of attention, he seemed to be pushed further into the corner of the room.

"Hey, are you a fugitive of your family?" A man who was eating with a woman who seemed to be the woman's lover blatantly accused Yang Jian. Make all visitors stare more dislike towards him.

Yang Jian continued to eat his snacks, not even turning his head in the slightest.

"Well, you're really brave. You should be a fugitive." Add the young man, to invite cynical laughter from others.

"You can choose, keep your own mouth shut or I can close it." Said Yang Jian without even looking at the young man.
