Heavenly Curse

On the day after, Mu Yi and Big Slave came out of their room . Many people looked at him with awe and veneration . n.o.body cast greedy eyes on his key anymore, they weren’t stupid . They wouldn’t dare act recklessly again .

Besides, Mu Yi looked so young yet he was a terrifying fighter .

Even though Li the Good hadn’t come out on the previous day and had hidden in his room, he had heard everything from his room . He was happy for Mu Yi . He liked Mu Yi, he considered him as a good person .

When Mu Yi left in the wain, what had happened on the previous day had already spread hundreds of li around . Some people who were a bit far but ready to make trouble were stunned when they learnt about that and decided not to cause trouble in the end .

Only some people who were very self-confident decided to rush over .

That day was calm and tranquil .

But Mu Yi knew that it was the calm before the storm .

Thinking about that, Mu Yi shook his head . Mu Yi initially didn’t intend to draw so many people’s attention . It was too late to regret though . Of course, he didn’t intend to give the key away . At the same time, he was also curious to see how many people would dare act recklessly and die .

On that day, at noon, a wain appeared on the main road of Kaifeng . It wasn’t moving, it was on the side of the road near a teahouse . Many people noticed it .

The wain didn’t look special, especially in Kaifeng . There were wains everywhere and all the time in Kaifeng, but the people who came out of the wain scared people to death . That person couldn’t be described as a tall and st.u.r.dy man, it was worse, he was a giant .

That giant was Big Slave, of course . And Mu Yi followed him out of the wain .

If Big Slave had come out alone, people would have just been surprised, but when they saw Mu Yi, the atmosphere around and in the teahouse became oppressive .

He had become quite famous in the region, it was definitely the one who had the key of the Yellow River’s ancient road .

Everybody recognized him when he came out of the wain with Big Slave .

In that teahouse, there were many travelers and travelers were the most informed people .

But this time n.o.body provoked them . They had learnt from Cui Heng’s mistake .

Li the Good didn’t follow them into the teahouse because he had to feed the horses .

“D… Dear guest, how may I help you?” The teahouse was quite s.p.a.cious but when Big Slave entered, it suddenly seemed tiny . Big Slave even had to lower his head .

When the waitress saw Big Slave, she was scared .

“A teapot and some snacks . ” said Mu Yi straightforwardly .

“Alright, please wait . ” said the waitress hastily .

When the waitress walked away, people started talking again .

A dozen people were seated in the teahouse at five-six different tables . There were all sorts of people, merchants, travelers, and there was even one doctor .

Initially, everybody was talking loud but when Mu Yi entered, they all spoke in a lower voice . They couldn’t help but secretly glance at Mu Yi and Big Slave .

Mu Yi ignored them, he didn’t care about what they were thinking, as long as they didn’t offend him .

“Boom boom boom!”

As the waitress was preparing some tea, suddenly, the sound of horses’ hoofs on the pavement spread in the air in the distance . There were at least 10-20 horses .

People in the teahouse stood up and walked away .

As soon as they had seen Mu Yi, they knew there would be some trouble . It would have been exaggerated to say the whole nation was watching him but at least, people were watching him from Luoyang to Kaifeng . Seeing him meant trouble wasn’t far .

They hadn’t thought trouble would start so quickly . Some people wanted to stay and watch but some people weren’t brave enough to .

In the teahouse, n.o.body drew Mu Yi’s attention but the doctor seated alone at a table . He was a middle-aged man . At that moment, the loud sound of galloping horses spread in the air and made the teahouse shake but he was still seated and looked calm . Besides, when Mu Yi had entered the teahouse, the doctor had just briefly glanced at him .

The sound of the horses’ hoofs finally stopped . Mu Yi looked out of the window and saw the cavaliers, they were all wearing black clothes and had an Eight Trigrams pattern on their chests .

“We travel everywhere, we’re everywhere!”

shouted a man in black clothes suddenly .

“It’s the Octagon Organization!”

whispered someone in the teahouse . They looked scared . The Octagon Organization was probably famous .

They didn’t say anything more . At that moment, Ten cavaliers were at the door, they looked aggressive .

“Everybody better give face to the Octagon Organization . ” shouted the man in black clothes . He sounded really aggressive .

“Walla walla!”

At that moment, most people in the teahouse ran away . Only three people were left inside, Mu Yi, Big Slave and the doctor . Li the Good was outside so he wouldn’t get involved .

Mu Yi knew why those people were there . Even though it was the first time he heard of the Octagon Organization, he understood they were famous from people’s reactions .

But it was normal, Mu Yi had killed Cui Heng . Big Slave had made Chang Qi run away . Only the most persistent ones would continue looking for him . And those were probably not second-cla.s.s cultivators like Cui Heng .

Mu Yi looked at them, amongst those people, only four-five were stronger than Cui Heng, and one of them had a very particular Qi, he didn’t look like an easy opponent .

“You’re not afraid of death?” asked Mu Yi to the middle-aged man in the corner of the room without paying attention to the members of the Octagon Organization outside .

“Are you talking to me?” asked the middle-aged man raising his head and looking at Mu Yi . He seemed surprised .

“We’re only three here, not four . ” replied Mu Yi .

“Oh!” replied the middle-aged man . Then he looked pensive and replied, “I am afraid of death . ”

“Are you here for the key too?” asked Mu Yi icily .

“What key?” asked the middle-aged man . He didn’t seem to understand what Mu Yi meant .

“The key of the Yellow River’s ancient road, of course . ” replied Mu Yi . Maybe that the middle-aged man was just pretending? Mu Yi didn’t even look at the members of the Octagon Organization outside .

“The Yellow River’s ancient road?” I’m not interested . ” replied the middle-aged man shaking his head and then he looked at his cup of tea again .

“Interesting . ” said Mu Yi smiling . Then he looked at the door .

Someone appeared in Mu Yi’s field of vision . He seemed to be around forty years old . He was also wearing black clothes with golden top-st.i.tched threads . And apart from the Eight Trigrams pattern, there was a word written his chest too, Octagon!

Octagon, Octagon Organization!

Mu Yi and that man looked at each other .

“Give me the key and I won’t kill you . ” said the man icily and aggressively, beyond expectation, he was pretty straightforward .
