Chapter Sixteen Crisis

  Then, Ya Jiao brought the sword dance and listened to the storytelling for a while, ate something, strolled around on the street, and strolled back. A day's time passed in an instant.

  That night, Old Joe brought a long sword for Jian Wu, who liked it very much and held it in his hand every day. When he had nothing to do, he would dance alone with the sword. In this way, Yao Jiao's carefree days passed by continuously. The only thing was that every week, he would go to the auction house. If there were any useful medicinal materials for himself, Yao Jiao would buy them all. As a result, even if the Xia Ke Tavern made a lot of money, it was not enough for Yao Jiao's extravagance.

  When nothing was happening, the demon king would sit in the courtyard, sipping a cup of clear tea, patiently watching Xiang Wu dance with his sword in the large courtyard, and performing a segment of sword dance for the demon king. Xiang Wu did not disappoint, living up to his name as Sword Dance, he danced with a long sword, truly incomparably beautiful, causing the demon king to become completely absorbed in it.

  Yao Jiao lived a life of unparalleled comfort. However, during this period, the Nine Yin True Classics targeting Yao Jiao never stopped.

  Two months later, in a small courtyard of the capital city of Great Zhou Kingdom.

  There is a house in the courtyard, and at this moment there are five men of about thirty years old sitting on a chair.

  "Brother Zhou, I don't know what this is all about, why did you summon us here so early?" one of the men suddenly said.

  "Haha, everyone, no need to beat around the bush. I suppose all of you have come to the capital with the same goal in mind. Why bother asking when we already know?" said another handsome young man.

  "Not bad, we were waiting at the gate of the sect to come, indeed for that Nine Yin Scripture. However, our master learned that the owner of the Nine Yin Scripture was a member of the second family and immediately gave up this action." Another man said.

  "The second family, no less. The second family is not one we can afford to provoke, and even if our several families' backdoor factions were to join forces, we still wouldn't be able to take them on. But have you people made any inquiries about that demon horn? Who exactly is it?" the handsome man asked.

  "Who is the second demon? We all know, he's the fourth generation disciple of the second family, also known as the second demon. The current Xiake Tavern and Cangyun Medicine Shop are both his." Another man said.

  "It seems that your information is indeed accurate, coming to the capital, thinking of getting their hands on this secret book, it's not just our sect, and many lone heroes who heard that the Nine Yin Manual belongs to the Second Family immediately chose to give up. However, you guys, can you really afford to? Think about it, that second young master is only eleven years old, and even lives alone outside, are you guys still afraid of him?" The handsome man asked.

  "But that 'Legend of the Eagle Shooting Hero', it's written extremely well, it can't be done by a child. That child wouldn't have intentionally used it to attract attention, would he?" another man asked.

  "Haha, you can all rest assured, my Seven Star Palace and the Second Family have a bit of a connection. My master's senior apprentice went to visit the Second Family two days ago and confirmed that the child is indeed the second demon king who has cultivated the Nine Yin True Classics. Even if the Second Family wants to shift their attention, they wouldn't use a child, would they?" The handsome man smiled.

  "Really?" another man asked.

  "Of course it's true, think about it, the Tianbang Martial Arts, is that child who doesn't eat or drink, practices every day, how much power does he have? Not bad, we all came to the capital city, just because of its rapid improvement in power, even if this child's power has become extremely deep due to practicing the Nine Yin True Classics, but what about his moves? Such a big child, how much experience does he have? What moves can he do?" The handsome man smiled.

  "But after all, we are from the second family, won't this be too risky?" another man asked.

  "Adventure? Is there anything in this world that isn't an adventure? Think about it, each of you is a top-notch third-generation disciple, but what are the chances of learning the Heavenly Ranked martial arts? My Seven Star Palace is okay, I have a Heavenly Ranked martial art, although I can't practice it now, but slowly waiting, when my qualifications are enough, there will be opportunities. But what about you? The highest martial arts in your sects are all Earthly Ranked, right? Are you going to stay that way for the rest of your life? Can this be considered an adventure? A child, eleven years old, and not even living in the second family, is it just going to be a waste?" The handsome man said.

  The room fell silent for a moment.

  "Brother Zhou, what do you think we should do? We'll listen to you," one of the men said, taking the lead.

  "Right, let's go for it," another man said.

  Then the remaining two also expressed their views.

  "Alright, since you all think so highly of me, I'll be straightforward. Tonight, we'll launch a night raid on the Cangyun Medicine Shop, seize the Nine Yin Manual. If we can't find it, we'll take away the second demon horn and force him to reveal the Nine Yin Manual, making it our common property for all five of us. What do you think?" The handsome young man said.

  "Good!" everyone said in unison, making up their minds at the same time.

  "In that case, the five of us must keep our promise. Before taking action, we must all stay in this courtyard. It's not that I don't trust you all, but after all, what we're doing is risky." said Zhou Zhi Jing.

  "Brother Zhou is right," another man said, "no one is allowed to leave."

  Everyone nodded in agreement.

  "All right, there are several rooms in this courtyard. We'll each cultivate our spirit and wait until nightfall, then we'll set out together," said Zhou Zhirong.

  "Good," everyone responded in unison.

  Then they all left one after another, leaving behind a relatively young man in the house.

  "Senior brother, why did you call them up?" The young man asked.

  "Yin Shidi, you don't know, the Second Family really won't mind this younger brother? Hmph, you underestimate the Second Family too much. I dare say, living near the Second Demon Corner, there must be someone sent by the Second Family to protect them. And those two shopkeepers aren't easy to deal with either. We're using them to tie up those people so we can steal the Nine Yin Manual. And even if we get caught, we'll still be better off than them. After all, I have some connections with the elder of the Seven Star Palace and the Second Demon Corner's family, so we won't die. As for them, I don't care. You think about it, if we succeed, we'll get the Nine Yin Manual. If we fail, at worst, we'll be taken back to the Seven Star Palace and face the wall for a while. Which one will you choose?" Zhou Zhi Jing smiled.

  "Elder brother is wise," said Yin Shi respectfully.

  At this time, the demon horn did not know that a big net was cast towards itself. It is now in the courtyard, setting up a small stove and decocting medicine with many precious medicinal materials it had just bought.

  Jian Wu watched from the side, seeing Old Master throw away a thousand-year-old ginseng and a thousand-year-old lingzhi. His heart was also very distressed, but he didn't know what Old Master was enduring. His own medical skills were extremely profound, and even the two attending teachers at Cangyun Medicine Shop couldn't compare to him. However, Old Master had decocted medicine many times, yet Jian Wu didn't recognize most of it. The few he did recognize were mostly formulas for nourishing the meridians. What about the others?
