Chapter 1040: How Could I Be Willing to Die?
Perhaps it was because of the fear of the banner, or because word of the unfortunate encounters of the bandits had spread, but the rest of the journey was peaceful. No one came looking for trouble anymore.
In the evening, the group arrived at Shan Ling Town.
It was a town but it appeared much larger than Shi Qu Town, Ling Chuxi’s hometown, from the outside. The height and sturdiness of the city walls could be compared to a city like White Stone City. Based on the wall, one could tell how chaotic Qianzhong Ridge was. If it was peaceful what use was there to build such a wall around a town?
However, after entering the town, it was clear that it was a bit deserted. There were not many pedestrians on the clean and tidy streets, and the whole town was filled with a heavy and depressing atmosphere.
When they saw Ling Chuxi and her group, especially the cloth banner on Jiang Wuhens shoulder, the pedestrians looked shocked and timidly lowered their heads.
“Hmm, that’s strange. Why didn’t we see a single person from Thousand Kills Gang and Broken Moon Gang?” said Feng Zijin as he touched his forehead.
Ling Chuxi also felt that it was a bit strange. Didn’t Feng Zijin say that Thousand Kills Gang and Broken Moon Gang were recruiting disciples to fight each other in Shan Ling Town? They had been here for a while, but they didn’t meet any troublemakers.
“Hey, aren’t you Cockey and Stutter? Why are you back?” A passerby shouted in surprise when he saw Feng Zijin and Deng Zaibei as he was looking at Ling Chuxi’s group.
“Old Ding, it’s you. Why aren’t you dead yet?” asked Feng Zijin in surprise when saw an acquaintance and went up to hold his shoulder.
“Kid, you still owe me the White Jade Crystal. How could I bear to die?” Old Ding snapped and rolled his eyes.
“Oh right, Old Ding, what’s going on? Have the people of Thousand Kills Gang and Broken Moon Gang all left?” asked Feng Zijin.
“You still don’t know? I heard that something big happened in the inner circle. The people of Thousand Kills Gang and Broken Moon Gang hurried back. They left less than four hours ago,” said Old Ding.
“They left. All of them left. That’s great. Shan Ling Town is at peace now,” said Feng Zijin happily. He had joined Thousand Kills Gang, but slipped out midway so he had been feeling a little uneasy when he came back this time. Hearing that they have left made him feel so much more relieved.
“At peace? I heard that the Zhang family is going to take over Shan Ling Town soon. I wonder how many girls will be unlucky this time,” said Old Ding with a sigh.
“The Zhang Family? Why would they take over Shan Ling Town? Where are the Zhao, Zheng, and Ma families?” asked Feng Zijing in surprise.
“This time, Thousand Kills Gang and Broken Moon Gang have caused quite a lot of trouble in Shan Ling Town. You guys escaped quite quickly, but the others in town were not as lucky as you. Just lucky enough to only have their arms and legs broken, any unluckier and they would have lost their lives,” said Old Ding with a sigh.
