The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 117

Chapter 117: Smarter in Comparison

After entering WuFeng town, the two people simply followed the main road towards the other exit of WuFeng town.

Since You XiaoMo firmly refused, Ling Xiao canceled his plan to have lunch in WuFeng town. After all, he was just teasing him. He didn’t really want to have lunch.

The main street was full of people and full of chatter. With each step, one could hear people discussing the matter with the Wolf Fang Gang. You XiaoMo perked up his ears and listened for a bit. Finally he understood what the deal was with the Wolf Fang Gang.

This Wolf Fang Gang was indeed the same one they came across in HunJi City. But since the leader was killed, they had been in a state of chaos. That was because other than the gang leader, who was a Moon level practitioner, his underlings were mostly of Sun level strength. As a result, once the leader died, the situation became messy because another leader had to be chosen but no one was willing to give in to anyone else.

The conflict was especially intense, almost erupting into an all out war. But last night, an even stronger person appeared and it was an outsider. One of Sun level practitioners from the gang started to clash with him. Both sides went all out and in the end, that Sun level practitioner was put in his place.

Not only that, that outsider heard that their gang leader was dead and that they were in the process of choosing one. So the outsider went up to the Wolf Fang Gang and managed to become their new leader.

That outsider was also a very ruthless character. After taking care of the situation in WuFeng town, he announced the night before that from then on, WuFeng town was his territory. Whoever dared to go against him would be killed.

It must be known that WuFeng town had been under no one’s rule for so many years. Since there was Wolf Fang Gang, that meant there definitely were other gangs as well.

So, not even one night after his declaration, the leaders of the other gangs joined forces. After completing their unification, they led their troops to Wolf Fang Gang’s lair. The result was as expected. The combined forces of several strong fighters from the various gangs actually failed to defeat that outsider. In order to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, that outsider killed several of the gang leaders. Then he assimilated their gang members into the Wolf Fang Gang.

So those people that live year in and year out in WuFeng town discovered that there was finally a change in the weather in WuFeng town!

Collecting passage fee for entering and exiting WuFeng town was the first action Wolf Fang Gang took after taking control over WuFeng town.

You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao had pretty bad luck. Not only did they encounter this, they were also the first ones to be asked to pay the passage fee.

You XiaoMo felt that he seemed to have an ill-fated relationship with Wolf Fang Gang. At first, he got into trouble by no fault of his own. Now, although he was a little at fault, but who asked them to charge such exorbitant passage fees? If it was five or ten gold pieces, he could still force himself to consider for a bit.

“Ling-shixiong, can you guess how strong is that new leader of Wolf Fang Gang?” You XiaoMo trotted up to the front of Ling Xiao asking full of curiosity. Although he knew the levels of practitioners, he was not clear on the distinctions.

Ling Xiao’s lips curved upwards. He strolled forward while explaining, “Wolf Fang Gang’s leader was of Moon level strength. The other gang leaders should also be Moon level. Otherwise, they could not have co-existed with Wolf Fang Gang in WuFeng town. Since that new leader could defeat them, he should be at least Star level and above. But he shouldn’t be any higher than Celestial level.”

You XiaoMo listened to his clear and logical explanation and nodded, then asked, “Why?”

Ling Xiao beamed as he said, “If he is of Celestial level, then even on the outside, he can already be a small-time overlord. Even if that was not the case, if he were to seek refuge with some strong forces, he would be treated as a distinguished guest. Not only did he not do that, he instead came to WuFeng town. Furthermore, he took over Wolf Fang Gang. Clearly he planned on staying on by WuFeng mountain range. There was only one explanation for this kind of behavior and that is he is being hunted down by someone. And the one doing the hunting is not someone weak. It could even be a strong sect so he has no choice but to escape to WuFeng town.”

Too brilliant! Too awesome!

Based on so few clues, he actually gleaned that much information. You XiaoMo suddenly felt that Ling Xiao actually had some redeeming points. At the least…at the least he was smarter than him by comparison…

This was a fact that he really didn’t want to admit!

“It’s them. The Wolf Fang Gang brothers were killed by that one dressed in white when they were collecting protection fees at the entrance.”

Just at that moment, a group of people with violent auras came towards them. The one speaking and running towards them was a rather plump man. A man that seemed a little familiar.

You XiaoMo took a clearer look for it seemed he had seen this person outside WuFeng town since his appearance was rather eye-catching. Unexpectedly, he was together with those two people which was really devious. After cursing him on the inside, he immediately jumped behind Ling Xiao. He was not a coward, really, not a coward. It was just that right now he didn’t have the qualifications to arrogantly ride his horse to the front.

Ling Xiao just came to a firm stop when that group of seven people had already rushed up to him. The highest was One star Moon level who was a boorish strong man but his state was not too stable. Most probably he just had a breakthrough not too long ago. There wasn’t one among them that Ling Xiao recognized. That group of people that he encountered in HunJi City did not appear.

The cold and sinister burly man took two large strides forward. With the back of a tiger and waist of a bear, looking like he was very awesome, his look of disdain fell on Ling Xiao. He lifted up the large axe on his shoulder and said in a cold voice, “Are you going to end your own life or do you want the great me to do it for you?”

A slight smile appeared on Ling Xiao’s face, “But I’d rather choose the third option.”

Not waiting for the burly guy to speak, You XiaoMo simply stuck his head out from under Ling Xiao’s arm, asking curiously, “What is the third option?”

Ling Xiao smiled, “They die!”

You XiaoMo shivered and immediately shrunk back his head.

The burly guy immediately overflowed with murderous intent. Without one word of greeting, he lifted the large axe and brought it down forcefully on Ling Xiao’s head. The result was as expected. How much ability could a One star Moon level practitioner have? It was only enough to dominate WuFeng town.

Ling Xiao sent him flying with a flip of his hand. He didn’t know how heavy and light it was but these two words were written when he took action. So the two hundred pound burly man flew into the wall in an instant. Blood flowed down the wall and by the time he fell back onto the ground, blood was flowing from all seven orifices, the four limbs were twitching endlessly, and more breath coming out than going in.

t/n: seven orifices = mouth, two eyes sockets, nostrils and two ears.

Everyone suddenly felt a rush of cold wind rising from their feet to the bottom of their hearts.

That Moon level practitioner actually just had a breakthrough not too long ago. The one who helped him breakthrough was their new gang leader. In order to foster a trusted subordinate for himself, he helped the burly man increase his strength. He probably didn’t expect that not even one day later, his ‘trusted subordinate’ was already dead. If the new gang leader found out, he definitely would rage like thunder.

The cowards were terrified, immediately running away leaving a trail of smoke. Running until a very far distance, one of them finally stopped and spoke to them in a hateful tone, “If you have the guts, don’t run. Wait there and our gang leader will definitely give you a good beating!” Saying that, he himself ran away.

“Ling-shixiong, how about we leave here now?” You XiaoMo walked out from behind Ling Xiao and frowned. Looking at the behavior of these people, they clearly were not going to let them off.

“Are we not in the process of leaving right now?” Ling Xiao laughed as he glanced at him. He then walked leisurely as if going on a stroll.

You XiaoMo rubbed his nose in resentment, “I mean right away, before those people come back.”

Ling Xiao suddenly stopped walking. A profound pair of eyes locked onto You XiaoMo and his lips started to curve upwards, “What are you worried about? Can it be that you’re afraid I couldn’t defeat them?”

Of course…not!

After hearing these words, You XiaoMo realized one thing. Although he was now already a member of Long Xiang Continent, this great land, his thinking was still stuck in the past, not the least bit changed. If someone encountered this situation in the twenty first century, most people would indeed unconsciously avoid them. But this type of behavior, in Long Xiang Continent, where strength was revered, would be regarded as a sign of weakness.

Unless one’s strength was as high as their opponent, otherwise, if they kept withdrawing repeatedly, other people would think that they were only a paper tiger, a weakling with no honor.

Seeing him quiet and pensive, Ling Xiao raised his brows in surprise.

Usually, he would definitely argue with him only stopping when his face was completely red. Now that he was silent, it was instead a little strange.

“Xiao Shidi?” Ling Xiao called out to him questioningly. As for why he wanted to know, God only knew.

You XiaoMo suddenly raised his head and grinned at him. He walked over and grabbed his arm urging him to continue walking while saying, “Ling-shixiong. I’m not worried about anything. I know you are very awesome. Wolf Fang Gang are three-legged cats that are simply no match for you. But they are also unworthy of your attention, so we should quickly get out of here, right? It’s not fun at all here.”

“There is some truth in that…” Could it be that Ling Xiao agreed with him? But he still felt that the current You XiaoMo was a little strange. It seemed as if he just got rid of something, becoming free and easy of all of a sudden.

But the trouble that was on its way didn’t become any less.

The new leader of Wolf Fang Gang wanted to establish his authority. So he had to finish off those that dared to go against the rules he set up and they were his first stepping stone.

When they were about to reach the gate, that gang leader finally appeared with his group of people.
