Chapter 242: Two More Notorious Villains Arrive
Chapter 242: Two More Notorious Villains Arrive
The three of them disembarked from the boat and strolled leisurely.
Lianxing's eyes flickered with a playful glint, while Yao Yue maintained a cool and detached expression.
Jiang Feng clenched his fists and struck them together. "The next time I see him, I'm going to make him lose weight. It's really unhealthy to be so young and overweight!"
Lianxing couldn't help but laugh. "How are you going to make him shed those pounds?"
Yao Yue replied nonchalantly, "Take him to the Viewing Heaven Valley in Yihua Palace. If he can't climb up, he won't get any food. Throw him down once a day, and in less than a month, he'll slim down."
Lianxing covered her mouth, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she giggled. "Won't that be a bit cruel for someone who doesn't know martial arts?"
Yao Yue glanced at Jiang Feng and Lianxing, letting out a soft hum. "If you want to lose weight, you have to be willing to pay the price."
Jiang Feng blinked, hoping that Yao Yue was referring to weight loss.
Lianxing pursed her lips, her thoughts unknown, but her eyes sparkled as she nodded in agreement. "Sister is right!"
Jiang Feng: _
...
They had traveled by boat, making good time, so they were in no rush as they slowly made their way towards Mount Jiuhua.
"Ha Ha's master's sect is the Huicang Sect, located at the foot of Mount Jiuhua. It's a semi-Buddhist, semi-secular sect, so there are both ordained monks and nuns, as well as laymen and women within the sect." Jiang Feng explained.
So, Ha Ha was technically a monk, yet he still had a junior female disciple.
"Just like the Wudang and Emei sects, there are both Taoist priests and ordinary people within the sect," Lianxing nodded, indicating her understanding.
Aside from the Shaolin Sect, whose inner disciples were all monks, the other major sects in the martial arts world were actually semi-religious and semi-secular. It wasn't a requirement to renounce secular life upon entering the inner sect.
Some sects had a higher proportion of ordained followers, like Wudang, while others had fewer, like Emei and Huashan. Ironically, Shaolin Temple was the sole exception—those who didn't renounce the secular life were considered lay disciples.
"If Ha Ha weren't so overweight, his junior disciple sister wouldn't have teased him, and he might not have ended up becoming one of the Ten Great Villains. So, you see, losing weight is actually quite important," Jiang Feng remarked.
Yao Yue gently rubbed her teeth together, hoping that Jiang Feng was talking about weight loss.
...
The trio continued their journey, chatting and laughing, until they reached the foot of Mount Jiuhua. They turned into a forest and followed a deserted path that led to a cluster of buildings.
It was a spacious compound, but the cold wind howled through, stirring up a mournful sound as it rustled the dry leaves. There was no sign of human activity.
"This is the site of the Huicang Sect. It's been many years since Ha Ha eradicated his master and the entire sect. This place is known as Ghost Land, and no one has dared to set foot here since," Jiang Feng explained. "I heard about this incident from some fellow martial artists when I visited Huangshan Mountain during my last trip to the south, so I decided to take a look."
Lianxing peered through the trees at the Huicang Sect site, which had not yet completely crumbled into ruins. "What could Ha Ha have hidden in his sect? Treasure?"
Jiang Feng shrugged. "I don't know." He scanned the surrounding forest, his gaze searching. "I wonder if the various factions have arrived yet."
Currently, the five major villains, including Du Sha, were nowhere to be found and were likely lying in wait. It was rumored that they might show up at the Huicang Sect site.
The Ouyang brothers, along with Wei Wuya and the remaining Six Great Star Masters, were probably lurking in the shadows, plotting to ambush the five villains.
As for Murong Yong and Xu Xuanzhen, they were leading a group of martial artists who were waiting in the wings, ready to pounce on the spoils after the five villains and the Six Great Star Masters had weakened each other.
One man stood at eight chi tall, with a sturdy build, a face like the bottom of a pot, a full beard, and bushy eyebrows. However, he had only one eye, the other covered by a black cloth, giving him a fierce and ferocious appearance.
The other man was shorter, barely seven chi tall, but his width made up for it, measuring an impressive five chi and six cun. His body was all muscle, even more robust than his companion. He had a large head full of messy, fluffy hair, and a fierce look on his face, resembling a fierce lion.
"Damn it, do you think those guys will come here?" The first man asked.
"Those damn brats! They stole the martial arts secrets from Emei Mountain and didn't tell me. They even got me involved in their mess. If I see them, I'll make them kneel and beg for mercy!" The second man raged.
"Bullshit. Who would believe you? You've never beaten Du Laoda. Now that he has Ouyang Ting's martial arts secrets, you have even less of a chance!" The first man retorted.
"Nonsense! I may not be able to beat Du Laoda, but when has he ever beaten me?" The second man argued angrily.
"Can't you calm down a bit? You're a father now," the first man said exasperatedly.
"When have I ever lost my temper?" The second man retorted, his eyes wide. "Du Sha is weak in prolonged battles, Li Dazui's skills are crude, Hahaye only knows how to ambush, Tu Jiaojiao doesn't dare to fight head-on, and Xiao Mimis is just there to make up the numbers. If they hadn't dragged me down, I wouldn't bother with them! But since they did, they must share those secrets with me, or I'll make them pay!"
"Yeah, if they don't give me an explanation, I'll make them pay too!" The first man agreed.
"I'm getting angry just thinking about it. A bunch of worthless people from the Jianghu came asking about their whereabouts, and they wouldn't even gamble with me. It's so unreasonable; they're worse than me!" The second man fumed.
The two men bickered as they ran up the mountain path and arrived at the site of the Huicang Sect.
"They're not here yet?"
"Hahaye still has some emotional baggage regarding this place. If he hadn't been forced to flee into the Valley of Villains, he would have come here first. They showed themselves nearby yesterday, so they'll definitely be here in the next two days."
"Then let's wait for them here!"
"Damn it, why do I feel a chill running down my spine?"
"Hahaha! Are you scared, Evil Gambling Ghost? You're like a woman, or maybe you're just as useless as Xiao Mimis?"
"Don't compare me to that Xiao Mimis, a woman who only knows how to seduce men. I won't be able to live that down!"
The newcomers were none other than Xuanyuan Sanguang, the Evil Gambling Ghost, and Tie Zhan, the Mad Lion, two of the Ten Great Villains from the Valley of Villains. Although they weren't traveling with the other villains, they were still part of the infamous group.
From their conversation, it seemed that a group of Jianghu people couldn't find Du Sha and the others, so they came looking for Xuanyuan Sanguang and Tie Zhan instead.
These two were also top experts in the Peerless Dual Pride world, but usually, their enemies appeared one by one. This time, however, a group of people from the Jianghu had banded together, and even these two villains couldn't handle it, so they had no choice but to come looking for Du Sha and the others.
