Chapter 43: Gathering

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

Huangshan City.

After doing what he should do, Su Yang rode his Scarlet Blood Horse and set off on the road back to the county city.

The sun shone on Su Yang, and Huangshan City was already behind him.

His figure kept getting further and further away, and Huangshan City slowly disappeared from his sight.

Finally, the sunlight fell upon Huangshan City, seemingly revitalizing the aging city with a vibrant glow.

After a while, Su Yang returned to the county city.

The three major families in Huangshan City had already submitted. Even if there was anything else, Zhang Baishan could handle it. He did everything himself, so he didn’t need any subordinates.

Back at the entrance of the Patrol Department, Su Yang saw a stall selling mountain fruits. Feeling a sudden craving, he approached the stall. When it came to food, Su Yang would never deprive himself, regardless of his past or present life.

“Uncle, how much is this fruit?”

The old man looked up and saw that Su Yang was wearing an official robe. He quickly said, “Sir, you can choose whatever you want. If you want to eat, just take it.”

Su Yang’s emotions were complicated when he heard this. Such a situation was unavoidable in any era.

It was as if it would definitely appear.

That’s true…They were just ordinary people. What could they do?

“Just sell it to me normally. Don’t tell me that I, an official, can’t even afford the fruits?” Su Yang pretended to be unhappy.

“Oh… Sir, I was just joking, so I’ll do it normally.” The stall owner smiled apologetically.

Su Yang then proceeded to tell him how many fruits he wanted, and the stall owner carefully selected each one, afraid of giving him any spoiled ones. Finally, the old man stuffed two more fruits into the bag, even though they had agreed to follow the rules.

No matter the era, it seemed that ordinary people were truly powerless. Facing such a superior, they were even more afraid of offending him.

Su Yang took the mountain fruit. He could not change this situation. This was also how ordinary people lived.

He was just an ordinary person with some strength.

The world was so big, and there were so many unjust cases. There were countless cases of bullying and bullying…

He had never thought that he could change the world or save it. What he wanted to do was to solve the injustice he saw.

As for things he couldn’t see… he let them be.

He took the mountain fruit and walked into the Patrol Department.

As soon as he entered, he bumped into Ye Jiang. This guy seemed a bit distressed.

“Brother Ye, what are you doing?”

When Ye Jiang heard this voice, the worry on his face faded quite a bit.

“Brother Su?”

“It’s been a while.”

“You’re on patrol as well?”

Although Ye Jiang’s worries diminished, they were still noticeable.

“I guess so.” Su Yang nodded.

“Ah…” Ye Jiang complained, “How do you deal with those families and sects?”

“Those guys rely on their strength and background to not take me seriously at all. If this goes on, I really don’t think I can do anything to them.” Ye Jiang is currently at a loss.

He originally thought that this position was very prestigious. But now, it didn’t seem like that.

In the past, when he was a young master, no matter what he did, these families would give in to him and go along with him. Therefore, he thought that it was easy to make these families not do something.

But now, when he really took action, he realized how naive he was.

Once he touched the interests of those families and sects, he faced expulsion.

They wanted to give him some face and share some of his benefits. Those who didn’t give him face, simply kicked him out.

Taking physical action? There are some he can’t defeat, and some he doesn’t even dare offend. He might not be afraid of being alone, but he still had the Ye family behind him. If he causes trouble that he can’t handle, how can his family clean up the mess?

So Ye Jiang is currently very troubled. It just so happened that he bumped into Su Yang, so he wanted to ask him how he handled things.

“What’s there to be annoyed about?” Su Yang said lightly, “Keep the obedient ones, exterminate the disobedient ones.”

Ye Jiang suddenly felt that he had found the wrong person.

“Brother Su, I’m not as fierce as you. I’d better think of another way.”Ye Jiang said helplessly. Then, he began to think of other ways.

Su Yang’s method required sufficient strength, sufficient background, or just sheer strength without any background. But if one lacks both strength and background, Su Yang’s method won’t work.

Ye Jiang left to think of his own way.

Su Yang returned to his courtyard and took out Ding Jiayu’s storage bag first. Opening it slightly, he could feel the space and items inside.

This storage bag was about the same size as his storage ring. There were not many things inside. Other than some miscellaneous items, there were some books and bottles.

Su Yang looked at them one by one. [Blood Corpse Refining Method] [Corpse Fusion Technique – Foundation Establishment]

[Seven Stars Formation] [Corpse Refining Technique]

[Spiritual Object Catalog]

The few cultivation techniques were all related to corpse refinement. Su Yang took a few glances and threw them aside. These things were useless to him.

The last book was somewhat useful. It recorded how to identify natural treasures, which was not bad.

Then, after sorting it out, Su Yang found three spirit stones.

According to the information in the Spiritual Object Catalog, these three were only low-grade spirit stones used by cultivators.

After organizing everything, that’s all he had.

Su Yang did not really need resources. After putting them aside, he could not wait to return to the courtyard to wield his sword. For him, he could increase his experience points by wielding his sword, and he could see how much more he needed to level up.

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.

After five days of sword practice, his sword intent level had reached Lv. 24. After reaching this level, the most direct feeling was that his sword intent could cover a radius of three thousand meters.

With a single thought, he could create a scene of countless swords returning to the origin.

However, the power of this forcibly created scene of countless swords returning to the origin was not great. The sword intent was too scattered, resulting in limited power.

As for the level of power in his full-force attack now? It was recorded that a Grandmaster possesses the power to destroy a city.

He… seems capable of it.

It was recorded that a Grandmaster expert could flatten a small mountain.

He was… It seemed to work too.

It was recorded that a grandmaster expert could cut off the flow of a river for three breaths.

He was… It seemed to work too.

He could split mountains with one sword, cut off rivers with one sword, and change the world with one sword.

In a word, he could do what a Grandmaster could do, and what a Grandmaster could not do, he could still do.

As for whether he could defeat a grandmaster… Who cares?

If he could not do it today, he could do it in a couple of days.

Currently, his strength was undergoing earth-shattering changes every day.

In the past five days, there were some new changes in the county city. The originally quiet county city welcomed many new faces.

The various sects in Tianfeng Prefecture became active, and even the surrounding sects came to join in the excitement.

Xuanshan Temple, Golden Blade Sect, Fire Sword Sect, and Moon Chasing Pavilion. The disciples of the four sects with Grandmasters had already appeared in Tianfeng Prefecture. Some of them were even in the county city.

These were only the few sects and forces that he knew of for the time being.

There might be more sect disciples who had not shown themselves in the dark.

There was only one purpose for these people to gather here: Kill evil cultivators and exchange them for merit points from the Martial Suppression Bureau to exchange for cultivation resources.

Yes, that was it.

Generally, only members of the Martial Suppression Division could obtain merit points. However, in some special circumstances, the rules could be changed when the game’s power was needed.

For example, if evil cultivators could be captured by the martial world heroes, they could directly go to the Martial Suppression Division to obtain merit points and exchange them for resources.

These sects were not hidden sects, they also needed resources to cultivate.

Having resources to assist in cultivation and not having them were two completely different things.

As for those who seclude themselves on the mountain for decades and emerge as the number one expert in the world, that’s simply unrealistic..
