Chapter 8 Restaurant Grudges
Lin Mo and the other person entered the second floor of the restaurant. A man and woman near the stairs looked over. The man had a decent appearance, but there was a hint of evil in his eyes. The woman seemed very calm. She glanced at the two of them and said nothing, but continued to eat.
At this time, the evil man casually drew out the sword from the sheath and stabbed it directly at the face of Tang Yu, who was the first to walk into the second floor. The other drinkers were silent, and instead looked like they were enjoying the show.
Tang Yu was not panicked at all. He casually grasped the handle of the fan (without opening it), and pointed the fan rib at the opponent's sword tip.
The man did not react and continued to stab Tang Yu, but the folding fan in Tang Yu's hand pushed away the sword. Then Tang Yu opened the folding fan and hit the man's abdomen with the fan. The man was immediately knocked away and vomited blood.
At this time, the other people in the restaurant reacted, but no one spoke and remained silent. The woman at the same table just looked at Tang Yu, then smiled and said:
"No. 20 on the Human Ranking, Mr. Ruyu Tang Yu is indeed worthy of his reputation. I am Liu Emei, an inner sect disciple of the Yue Girl Sword Society. I am honored."
The man who vomited blood swallowed a few pills and his expression eased a little. He stood up, clasped his fists and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, I didn't recognize you for a moment. I am Han Xiao, an inner disciple of Jianxie Sect."
Tang Yu just glanced at them, nodded, and returned a polite but obviously unfamiliar smile. Without replying to the two of them, he found an empty seat and sat down.
Liu Emei didn't say anything. She just glanced at Lin Mo and continued eating.
However, Han Xiao felt ignored and was a little angry. However, he was a little afraid when he thought about how he was obviously no match for Tang Yu in the previous fight. Instead, he cast a resentful look at Lin Mo who came with Tang Yu.
At this time, two young men dressed in aristocratic family came over and greeted Tang Yu: "I am Dongfang Huai from the Dongfang family and Huangfu Lingyun from the Huangfu family. I am meeting Young Master Tang."
Tang Yu also nodded and cupped his hands. His attitude was much better than when he faced Han Xiao and the others just now.
The two young masters of the noble families did not feel embarrassed. After returning the gift, they sat back in their seats and continued to drink.
Finally, the two men in black robes in the restaurant just glanced at Tang Yu for a moment and then continued to lower their heads.
At this time, when Lin Mo walked towards Tang Yu's seat, one of the men in black robes drew out the sword in his hand and stabbed Lin Mo.
Lin Mo turned around and used the Nine Revolutions Movement to dodge the attack, but the man in black robe refused to give in and continued to use his sword skills.
But in a small place like a restaurant, the Nine Revolutions Movement had too great an advantage. Lin Mo did not fight back, but simply dodged one by one according to the Nine Palaces positions. After twenty moves.
The man in black robe might feel a little embarrassed, so he exerted a little force with his hands, and the sword in his hand stabbed out more than a dozen times in an instant. Lin Mo couldn't tell the real from the fake.
He pulled out the blood knife helplessly and used all his strength to perform the killing move of the blood knife. A sea of blood filled the sky. Suddenly, a flash of blood shattered the shadow. The swords collided and both of them took a step back. The man in black robe nodded, put away the long sword in his hand and said:
"Dugu Shengjiao, Meng Qing."
Lin Mo also retracted the blood knife and nodded:
"Lin Mo."
Then Meng Qing returned to his seat and continued to drink. Lin Mo also continued to walk towards Tang Yu. At this time, a person who was sitting at the same table with Meng Qing came forward and whispered in Lin Mo's ear:
"The moves you used and your weapons are very attractive to the Blood Demon Sect of the Nine Netherworlds. The Underground Palace Blood Demon Sect will also send someone this time, and the one who comes is Xu Tianfu, the 98th Bloodthirsty Hand on the Human Ranking. You have to be careful."
Lin Mo stopped and asked, "Why are you telling me this, and who is your Excellency?"
The man said, "Heavenly Demon Palace, Feng Hen, I told you only because I didn't want the Blood Demon Cult to take advantage of you.
Although Xu Tianfu is at the bottom of the Human Ranking, he has the strength of the eighth level of Qi training. You are at least one level lower than him. If you face him, you will have no power to fight back, so be careful, young man. "
After saying this, without waiting for Lin Mo's reply, he returned to his previous seat and continued drinking.
At this time, the atmosphere in the restaurant was even quieter. No one spoke, and everyone was dealing with the food and drinks in front of them.
Lin Mo frowned, walked towards Tang Yu, sat opposite Tang Yu, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Tang, I wonder if there is any grudge between the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Blood Demon Cult."
Tang Yu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Feng Hen and understood, "Oh? It seems that the person who just talked to you is from the Heavenly Demon Palace. However, when it comes to grudges, the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Blood Demon Sect are said to have been branches of a large sect.
This large sect disappeared after it was wiped out by the three Buddhist sects and Taoism three hundred years ago.
The Heavenly Demon Palace and the Blood Demon Cult have been fighting for the so-called orthodox position. In fact, anyone with eyes can guess that both sides want to merge with each other. I wonder what the kid from the Heavenly Demon Palace said to you just now?"
Lin Mo frowned even deeper and said, "He said that my moves and sword have extraordinary appeal to the Blood Demon Cult's people, and that Xu Tianfu, the 98th Bloodthirsty Hand on the Human Ranking, will come, so he asked me to stay away if I see him."
Tang Yu opened his folding fan and fanned himself, saying, "The moves I saw just now are indeed of the Blood Demon Sect's style, but they only have blood energy and no demonic energy, which shows that this is not a form of magic. People from the Blood Demon Sect often act on impulse because of the demonic energy that enters their bodies during their practice.
Sometimes the demonic energy can invade too quickly and kill innocent people for no reason, so your moves have the bloody energy but can maintain rationality, which should be helpful for the reference of the Blood Demon Cult's skills.
But you don't have to worry about the underground palace. If you are with me, Xu Tianfu will not act rashly. The difference between the top 30 and the bottom of the list is huge."
Lin Mo nodded and thanked Tang Yu for his kindness, but he thought in his heart:
"If it's Qi training level eight, there's a realm difference. Even if I can restrain him with the moves of the precious sword and the blood-killing sword in my hand, I can only deal with Qi training level one. Strength! Strength! The difference is still too big!"
Although Tang Yu said that the other party would not act rashly, what if the other party forced an attack? Would Tang Yu offend the Blood Demon Cult because of me?
Definitely not. We are just casual acquaintances. He has done the most by giving me some protection by letting me follow him. I can't gamble everything on this.
According to Tang Yu, the underground palace will only be open for a few days. Fortunately, the strongest limit is the tenth level of marrow refining, otherwise I really have no chance at all. It depends on whether the underground palace can yield new gains. In addition, I still have to hurry up to improve my skills. '
After suppressing his irritability, Lin Mo's eyes calmed down and he said casually, "But Brother Tang, I didn't expect you to be ranked 20th on the Human Ranking. I'm really sorry."
Tang Yu smiled and said, "As for friends, the most important thing in friendship is to be sincere. Although the reputation of this list is good for me, it is also half good and half bad. From time to time, there are some challenges for me.
And some disciples from big sects can’t be killed, and if they are crippled, it will cause trouble. Sigh, plus the ones at the top of my list are all ridiculously strong, so I can only be stuck in these 20 places.”
Lin Mo didn't think too much at this time and just complimented him a few times. After all, with his own strength, he couldn't even beat the people at the bottom of the human list, so he didn't want to be too ambitious. He just asked about some common sense in the martial arts world.
Tang Yu also answered with a smile, then glanced at Han Xiao of Jian Xiemen, and whispered to Lin Mo:
“This Sword Evil Sect’s Han Xiao may have transferred his anger towards me to you. You have to be careful. He has reached the tenth level of marrow refining and has intentionally suppressed himself from breaking through to Qi refining. He is stronger than an ordinary Qi refining first level expert.
Besides, Liu Emei, who is opposite him, should be stronger than Han Xiao. Although she also appears to be at the tenth level of marrow refining, I didn't expect that she was an inner sect disciple. And the two people from the Seven Great Families here both appear to be at the tenth level of marrow refining. If we really talk about strength, I'm sure that even those at the second or third level of Qi refining are no match for Han Xiao. Your trip to the underground palace will be troublesome this time."
Lin Mo waved his hand and said indifferently: "We don't know what the underground palace will test yet, so we'll just deal with it as it comes. But Brother Tang, do you think there will only be these few people coming to the underground palace this time?"
"Of course not only that, there are also some like Xu Tianfu from the Blood Demon Cult, who are hiding outside the underground palace, probably to see which independent cultivator gets the first prize, and then intercept and kill people. The decent people dare not do this kind of thing openly, but they may accuse them of a crime and kill them directly in private.
As for the evil ones, they probably don't even bother to accuse them of a crime. But that's how the martial arts world is. Even if you get some treasures, you may not be able to keep them. Brother Lin might as well find a big force to join. In this case, there will be someone to escort you, at least you won't be targeted.
After the matter of the underground palace is over, if Brother Lin is interested in our Tang Sect, he can join the Deacon Department. However, I see that Brother Lin practices swordsmanship. Most of the good swordsmen in the world are hermits, followed by the Nine Nether Evil Sect, and the last is the Seven Seas Gang.
The leader of the Seven Seas Gang, Jiao Tianxiong, is nicknamed Ghost Head Broken Knife. He ranks ninth on the Earth Ranking and is very powerful. In addition, the conditions for joining the Seven Seas Gang are relatively loose, so Brother Lin can give it a try."
Lin Mo thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. It was fine in Jinyang City, but once he went out, there would be countless powerful forces, and he didn't know how he would offend a big boss. If he joined one of these forces, he would definitely be valued with his growth rate. With the help of the system, he could grow better in the early stage.
However, the choice of this force is a bit troublesome. Most of my martial arts skills come from the martial arts inheritance of my previous life, and the skills in this world are also quite good. Perhaps it would be a good idea to consider joining the Seven Seas Gang.
As for the Nine Netherworlds Evil Way, Lin Mo had never even thought about it. He was kidding. Although the martial arts world did not wipe out all the evil ways, there was still some corresponding suppression. He did not want to be treated as a little devil for no reason and be eliminated by the heroes.
It seems that after the trip to the underground palace, if we hurry up and take back the Hu family's brocade box, we can find a new force to join and practice with peace of mind for a while.
"By the way, Brother Tang, I wonder what you think of the Hu family, the most powerful force in our Jinyang City. The Hu family should also send people here when the underground palace is unveiled."
Tang Yu frowned when he heard the name of the Hu family, as if he had thought of something bad, and said: "The Hu family is indeed a trouble. To be precise, it is not the Hu family. I have some grievances with this Hu family, especially the eldest son of the Hu family, Hu Ling."
Lin Mo was stunned when he heard this, because according to Tang Yu's identity, he was ranked 20th on the human list, and he must be a core disciple in the Tang Sect.
Jinyang City is just a small city, and the strongest ones are marrow-refining. Tang Yu's strength must be at the acquired realm. He actually had grudges because of a young man from such a remote place. He asked in confusion: "Hu Ling?"
