The excited crowd blocked the whole alley as angry victims took away the twins’ bodies. Girls scrambled to probe and peek at the heroes. Men rushed forward, wanting to throw the hero into the air to celebrate.

Han Changsheng was so scared that he was sweating. He pushed and kicked people aside to path a path out. As soon as he was free, he fled back to the inn. He was a master of the magical teachings of the world of martial arts. The cool, handsome, domineering Head of the Demonic Cult had never been so embarrassed. Not in his wildest dreams would he experience such a day. . .

Reaching the inn, he didn’t have a moment of peace. The news moved quickly, and several elders ran inside with the disciples of Yuehua Sect. The inn was surrounded by huge crowds, it was impossible to enter or leave. The elders had to push and shove to finally get inside the inn. 

“You killed the Yin and Yang?” the Huang elders sighed. “It’s a pity you couldn’t take them to the martial arts conference. You would’ve had more publicity!”

“Ai~” Yuan Changdao said, “Don’t say it like that. Now that the Yin and Yang are dead, it can save us from a bigger disaster. The news will soon spread throughout the world of martial arts. When the conference comes, they’ll look up at Yuehua Sect, rather than down.”

“Jiulong, Jiulong, you made a great contribution!” Tan Changdao said, “After this battle, you, a young hero, will be famous!”

The disciple brothers surrounded Han Changsheng, asking all kinds of questions. They wanted to know everything, but, most importantly, what happened. He had to say he couldn’t sleep and went to take a stroll. He happened to run into the Yin and Yang twins and saw how weak they were. He killed them easily. In fact, the process was no longer important, and no one cared. The important thing was that Yin and Yang were gone.

“Da Shixiong, you are so powerful!” Liu Xiaoqi stared with sparkly eyes, pulling on his hand. 

Yue Yu-er ran up and forced Liu Xiaoqi aside, throwing herself at Han Changsheng. He used a finger against her shoulder to shove her away.

Yue Yu-er’s excited eyes were full of admiration. “Da Shixiong, you are so handsome! I know that Da Shixiong is the best! Did you kill them with one swing of your sword?” Her hands moved in big gestures as she spoke.

Han Changsheng was annoyed, feeling like his head would explode. He wanted to cry but couldn’t.

“Da Shixiong,” An Yuan said, gently picking up Han Changseng’s hand, “Is your injury okay?”

Han Changsheng cursed all the immortals in heaven. He wouldn’t have attracted so much trouble if they didn’t kick the troublesome Dog Lord down to the mortal realm to learn his lesson. As the Head of Demonic Cult, being regarded as a hero and vigilante ruined his legendary reputation!

On the surface, in an incomparable sincerity, he squeezed An Yuan’s hand. “Shidi, I am fine. Fortunately, this sword cut my hand. If you were the one injured, my heart would hurt for a lifetime.”

Tears filled An Yuan’s eyes.

After some discussion among the elders, the post-arrangement was set. They still had to settle the situation in Yueyang Town. Nearly all the victimized children were new disciples who wanted to join the Yuehua Sect, and they were obligated to comfort the families. The opportunity also allowed form the to check the qualifications of other children in advance. However, it was unnecessary to have so many people around, so the elders left. Han Changsheng and a few disciples were left to deal with the press.

Once the elders were gone, Yuan Changdao turned to Han Changsheng. “Kowloon, the people outside are calling your name. Some want to give you gifts, some want to marry their children or grandchildren off to you, and some want a glimpse of the svelte hero. They should see you. The inn is surrounded, and no one can leave with them there. ”

“I will not go!” Han Changsheng resolutely opposed, “We need to hurry back to Yuehua Sect!” 

Such a joke, the Head of Demonic Cult being treated as a hero by the people. He wouldn’t muddle! A few days had passed since the last time he tried to drive the Dog Lord out of the Sect. If he didn’t find a way to complete the task, everything would be over!

“But if the people outside can’t see you,” Elder Yuan said, “They will be disappointed.”

Han Changsheng replied, “I’m determined not to go! If you force me, I will leave by myself!”

“The people are so enthusiastic,” Elder Huang advised, “Why won’t you let them see you?”

An Yuan said, “Da Shixiong has probably done a good thing, and he doesn’t want others to praise him for it. He doesn’t want to receive the gratitude of the people. Besides defeating the devils, this is what the disciples of Yuehua Sec should do. Obtaining too much gratitude and gaining a false reputation would tarnish Da Shixiong’s good mood. I think we should respect his wishes and secretly leave. We do not want to add any burden to the people.”

Han Changsheng stared blankly at him. Everyone was in such a great mood because of him. Why was he so uncomfortable?

The elders and disciples listened to An Yuan’s words and saw that Han Changsheng’s eyes had changed. Adored, Appreciated, self-satisfied. . . The disciples looked at Han Changsheng with admiration in their gazes.

Elder Yuan patted Han Changsheng’s shoulder and said,  “So that’s what you were thinking! If not for An Yuan, we have neglected this position! You are really good, worthy of being the head disciple of our Yuehua Sect! Since you think that way, you all sneak out and go back to Yuehua Sect. We will deal with the rest!”

The remaining two Elders also gave Han Changsheng a thumbs up.

Han Changsheng: “. . .”

It didn’t matter if people misunderstood him, being able to leave the damn place sooner was good. The three elders let An Yuan and several disciples escort Han Changsheng out before turning back to handle the crowds.

Since they were sneaking away, they couldn’t just walk out. An Yuan first brought Han Changsheng back to his room and handed him a straw hat and a veil. Smiling at him, he said, “I didn’t expect Da Shixiong to need this thing one day. Our disciple brothers really empathize with you.  Hey, it’s not always good to be outstanding.”

Han Changsheng: “. . .” 

He wanted to beat someone up.

Han Changsheng and An Yuan wore straw hats and veil. The elders arranged for three disciples to go with them from the back door of the inn. Fortunately, the entire Yueyang town was chaotic. They did not wear the Yuehua Sect’s disciple uniforms, so they could mix into the crowd unnoticed. Quickly, they made their way through it.  

Not long after, several people left Yueyang Town and prepared to go to Yuehua Mountain.

A small pavilion stood at the foot of the Yuehua Mountain for people to rest. A white-haired old man sat at the door, leaning against one of the pillars. He had ragged clothes and sloppy beard stubble, he looked like a wandering beggar. From the disciples of Yuehua Sect, they found out he’d been walking to the tea pavilion for a while. The old man didn’t move, and his chest didn’t even rise and fall.

Several disciples of the Yuehua Sect whispered.

“Look at the old man, is he dead?” 

“He seems to like it. Ah, he looks like he’s eighty or ninety years old, why is he all alone? No children? Really pitiful.”

An Yuan hesitated for a while, then untied the water pocket at his waist. He touched the dry food in his arms, then prepared to go to the old man.

“Hey!” Han Changsheng screamed.

An Yuan turned back, replacing the water pocket to his waist. Anxiously, he looked at Han Changsheng. “Da Shixiong, is something wrong?”

Han Changsheng took off his straw hat and pulled at his collar with his uninjured hand. The temperature was too hot, and he was wrapped up to not be recognized. He was sweating all over, a bead of it flowing down his arm. It dripped onto his wound, making it sting.

Han Changsheng irritatedly pulled at the wet bandage. An Yuan pressed a hand against his arm and took a new bandage from the package. “Don’t move.”

Han Changsheng had to extend his hand to him, and An Yuan helped him change the medicine.

Two young swordsmen approached from the direction of Yueyang Town. One was short with freckles, and the other was thin and tall.

The tall and slim one said, “Damn it, it’s really suffocating. The Yin and Yang were so useless they were actually killed by the Yuehua Sect, those spineless cowards. Made us go on a wild-goose chase.”

“That’s right, we didn’t sleep for a half month trying to get here when we heard the twins were around! I wanted to ruthlessly ruin the sect’s reputation. But, this was. . . really fucking horrible!”

“That person, Li Jiulong. I’ve never heard of him. Before we left, our sect head warned us to watch out for Yuehua Sect’s second disciple, Huangfu something or other. Fuck that difficult name, can’t remember it even after hearing it for a hundred times. . . I heard the guy is a descended Immortal, be careful not to force his hand. But, it wasn’t even about him. Instead, this Li guy was the one to get in the spotlight.”

Several Yuehua disciples overheard their conversation and their faces flushed with anger. An Yuan changed Han Changsheng’s bandages, advising the other disciples to keep calm. “Just ignore them.”

When the disciples heard An Yuan say this, they could only endure their anger and stare at the two men.

The tall poked the short one. “Hey, the guys in front, aren’t they from the Yuehua Sect?”

The short one flashed a look of disdain. “Aren’t the spineless cowards of the Yuehua Sect still in Yueyang Town acting mighty? Why did they come here? To catch the Yin and Yang, they actually sent dozens of disciples and three elders out. Hey,” He whispered, “I’m afraid the others don’t know that they’re spineless cowards. They only know how to fight in a group.”

Feeling the ill gaze of the Yuehua Sect’s disciples, the tall one laughed. “You aren’t wrong. Even if these people are from the Yuehua Sect, there isn’t seven of them. They couldn’t fight as a group if they wanted to.” His words were loud, deliberately, so An Yuan and the others could hear it.

They were mocking the Seven Stars of the Yuehua Sect. The Yuehua Sect’s status in the world of martial arts had always been embarrassing. Their formation was famous, powerful enough that the seven entry-level disciples in the sword array could even trap seven masters. If they were of the same level, taking on even thirty to fifty opponents wasn’t difficult. However, when fighting on their own, the disciples could only compete with smaller sects. They were weaker than several other famous swordsmen. It led many people to disagree with the Yuehua Sect. Many of the other sects belonging to the famous Jianpai Sect looked down on the Yuehua Sect.

Rewrapping Han Changsheng’s wound, An Yuan asked, “Da Shixiong, it’s done. Are you still hurting?”

Han Changsheng tried to move his hands. It was still painful. The wound hadn’t healed, but it was better than before.

A disciple asked, “Da Shixiong, Er Shixiong, those two are too arrogant. Can’t we teach them a lesson?”

An Yuan spoke softly, “The gentleman must tolerate others. It’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

Han Changsheng nodded. The strangers should say more offensive things. He listened with great interest. It was too pleasant to hear famous people tearing each other apart!

A disciple stared at their feet for a while and grumbled, “They are people of the Yunxiao Sect!”

The Yunxiao Sect was one of the best sects of martial arts, just like the Yuehua Sect. However, contrary to the Yuehua Sect, the Yunxiao Sect attached great importance to the ability to fight alone. There was almost no coordination and formation. If the disciples are singled out, they could rank first. But, if they encountered a melee group battle, they would suffer. Moreover, the footwork they practiced with their method was quite special. When walking, the disciple’s feet stuck out to the sides. The Yuehua Sect disciples recognized their martial arts through their feet, alone.

A smile on his face, Han Changsheng rejoiced in other people’s misfortunes. His eyes widening, he said, “Damn it, from the Yunxiao Sect?! ” 

He looked at how they walked, and sure enough, he saw it!

The two disciples of the Yunxiao Sect already reached the side of the pavilion. They were tired, planning to take a break there, just like the old man by the door. He blocked half the entrance. He hadn’t moved for a long time. Han Changsheng was very suspicious that he died, sitting there.

The short guy went up to the old man and lifted his foot. Preparing to kick him, he said, “Stinky beggar, don’t block the road!”

The shorter man’s foot barely touched the old man when Han Changsheng’s foot smashed across his face. The force of Han Changsheng’s kick sent him flying until he slammed into the pillar of the pavilion!

It happened so quickly, no one expected it. Everyone was stunned to silence. When An Yuan realized the two swordsmen intended to be rude to the old man, he prepared to stop them. He didn’t anticipate that Han Changsheng’s reaction would be faster than his.

All the disciples of Yuehua Sect lingered. As they realized what had happened, they turned to Han Changsheng with admiration in their eyes. Their masters were awesome. His domineering courage, his reaction speed, the strength of his foot, everything was unpredictable! None of them believed the short guy would trample the old man. By the time they saw him move, it was too late to react. But, Han Changsheng knew what was happening and responded in an instant. He was so awesome. He was worthy of being the one who killed the Yin and Yang!

The reason Han Changsheng moved so quickly was because he moved before the short guy even started. His timing was so amazing that just as the guy’s foot touched the old man, his own foot hit the guy’s face. Everyone thought Han Changsheng planned to teach the impolite bastard a lesson, but the reality was quite different. 

Who was the old man? Han Changsheng didn’t know! He had no interest in knowing, all he wanted was to kick the Yunxiao disciples’ asses! 

Yunxiao was the first sect of the top ten swordsmen sects, and the disciple’s skills were incredible. He was bold enough to speak rudely about other sects, but the Tianning teachings were even more arrogant. The former year, the Sect Head of the Yunxiao Sect said they would take down the Tianning Cult within three years. He hoped everyone at the martial arts conference could recommend him as the head of the martial arts union. After hearing the news, Han Changsheng laughed and decided to beat up anyone he encountered from the Yunxiao Sect! 

Seeing his companion be flung around by Han Changsheng, the tall one was shocked. Then, he was so angry he reached out, resting his hand on the sword at his waist. Just as quickly, Han Changsheng approached and grabbed his shoulder, delivering a strong knee attack –

“Ah!!!” The tall one’s scream echoed through the hills, his face as white as paper. He collapsed to the ground, rolling in pain. He already suspected Han Changsheng was from the Yuehua Sect, a sect which paid special attention to quality. As a well-known disciple, he didn’t anticipate Han Changsheng would land a sneak attack where he did. He was no different than some seven-year-old who never learned martial arts! Lazily aiming for his opponent’s sensitive parts, so defenseless, Han Changsheng took off half his lifespan with just a knee!

High and mighty, Han Changsheng looked with disdain at the two Yunxiao Sect disciples. “It is best for you to manage your tongue. The next time we meet, I’ll give you worse than a single hit!”

Seeing the Da Shixiong so domineering, the disciples of the Yuehua Sect cheered. They had long hoped that someone could help them release their resentment, but they weren’t good at fighting one-on-one, and they couldn’t fight as a group without a good reason. The head and the two brothers always advised them to endure and suffocate. They endured to the point of their lungs almost exploding. They had long dreamed that they or their brothers and sisters would beat the other sects to the ground, killing their reputation! Regardless of whether he used sneak attacks or shameless tricks, he did it! They could finally stand to breathe again!

Just fighting the two from the Yunxiao sect, their respect for Da Shixiong increased tenfold!

An Yuan, however, was different from the younger brothers. He was looking at the sloppy old beggar. He saw very clearly that the short man’s foot had kicked the old man. Although Han Changsheng flung him away in an instant, his foot left an impact on the old man. He still didn’t move at all, though. The short guy had only kicked a piece of an iron plate. . .

The old man was not an ordinary person.
