Chapter 1154 - A Chaotic Scene
As they approached Thousand Kills City, Ling Chuxi and the others could clearly feel that the Spiritual Qi here was much more abundant than that of Kaiyuan City.
However, a sense of solemnity permeated the city as they felt immense pressure acting on them. Even the peddlers on the side of the road looked terrified. The city"s prosperity didn"t seem comparable to Kaiyuan City, even seeming to be on the decline.
"Thousand Kills Gang is also a famous force in the Qianzhong Ridge. Why is this city so dilapidated?" Su Yizhi shook his head and sighed.
"Thousand Kills Gang is tyrannical and cruel. Their methods are extremely vicious. The people in this city have been bullied and exploited by them. If they don"t accept it, they will be severely injured or even lose their lives. Therefore, people here rely on their connections to escape from this city. The people who stay behind will live a life without tomorrow. As time went by, Thousand Kills City eventually ended up like this," said Lei Wanshan.
"Hmph, I can already tell that they"re not good people just from their name," said Lan Xinyu matter-of-factly. Then, she thought of something and became excited. "Do you think that after we beat up Thousand Kills Gang, the people in this city will be grateful to and cheer for us?"
"Of course. As long as we reveal our ident.i.ties and fight all the way through, the whole city will definitely celebrate us," said Zhou Kaitai, trying to get on her good side.
"Yes, yes. Someone will send flowers and set off firecrackers to cheer us on." Hu Ruhai chimed in.
"This time, I can finally enjoy being wors.h.i.+pped." Zhou Kaitai"s flattery was finally on point this time. Lan Xinyu started to long for her imagination. She had always been envious of Ling Chuxi"s victory in the great a.s.sessment of the va.s.sal states, with the people celebrating her victory. Finally, her turn had arrived. It might not be as big as Ling Chuxi"s, but whatever she would encounter here would be better than nothing.
Ling Chuxi shook her head slightly and looked at Lan Xinyu. She really wanted to advise her that she was thinking too much.
With Lei Wanshan and Ding Wenqing accompanying them, Ling Chuxi and the others did not need to ask for directions. They headed straight for Thousand Kills Gang"s lair. Gongxi Kuangdao carried his blade on his shoulder, filled with killing intent. Zhou Kaitai, Su Yanhua, and the others were naturally full of battle intent.
"Sword Heart Gang, it"s Sword Heart Gang!" The crowd cried out in surprise. The killing and battle intents released by Gongxi Kuangdao and the others naturally attracted the attention of the crowd. They looked over curiously and noticed the flag of Sword Heart Gang on the carriages.
Lan Xinyu combed her hair and strutted. She nodded at the crowd and was ready to welcome the cheers of the people of the city, but...
"Run! Sword Heart Gang is here!" No one knew who instigated it, but the vendors immediately abandoned their stalls and ran away. The streets were filled with chaos as goods were scattered all over the ground. The shops closed their doors and the shopkeepers left in a hurry as well.
The streets had been fine just a moment ago. But now, it looked as if a gang of robbers had pillaged through. Except for a few people who accidentally broke their legs and fell to the ground as they were trying to escape, there was no one on the street.
"Is this what you meant by "the whole city will celebrate us with tears of grat.i.tude"? Where are the flowers? Where are the firecrackers?" Lan Xinyu was dumbfounded. She had intended to wave her hand to greet the crowd, but her hand was now frozen in midair. In the end, she put it down dejectedly. "Where are the firecrackers?" asked she to Zhou Kaitai with a stare.
Zhou Kaitai was also stunned. He was just casually flattering her and did not expect such a big commotion.. Plus, it was not the kind of commotion he was bragging about.
