Legend of Swordsman; Xiuhuan

Axe Gang

Lou Er was very happy when she was on top of the Flying Ship Artifacts, because this was the first time she had climbed it—even she was standing on the tip of the flying boat artifact enjoying the view before her, because Xiuhuan deliberately flew not too high from the mainland.

Nie Rou tries to get close to Lou Er— for them to become familiar, as she is also the stepmother of Xiuhuan's daughter. Maybe because she was beautiful and kind, in just a short time they were already familiar, so Xiuhuan was very happy to see her.

However, he suddenly sensed that there were hundreds of people waiting for them on a small hill a mile ahead of them.

Xiuhuan measured their cultivation levels and there was only a single Early Stage Immortal there, who was most likely the leader of the group.

Xiuhuan did not reveal their whereabouts to his four disciples, because he wanted to test their alertness in the face of danger, because this was their mission and he was only a guide.

“There's a bunch of people there!” exclaimed Nie Rou who first realized their existence, so Xiuhuan smiled—turned out his wife who was the first most sprightly among them.

“What will we do, Deacon Xiuhuan?” Ling Yan asked, as he felt their cultivation level was extremely low and just by himself alone was enough to eliminate them.

Xiuhuan smiled at Ling Yan's question and said, “This is the time for you to show me the results of the exercises and theories you learned in the Qingyun Sect. I will not interfere and will take part if your lives are in danger!”

Ling Yan nodded slowly and gathered with his three comrades to discuss, what would they do in the face of such unknown people.

“What if one of us greets them?” the Ling Yan.

“I think we better pretend we don't know where they are. After all, they should have understood, if this Flying Ship Artifact was a high-tier Artifact, then automatically only Cultivators with high cultivation bases or the Great Merchant Association would have it. We certainly know, only fools dare to confront us!” Nie Rou gave an input.

The three agreed with Nie Rou's proposal and they had indirectly actually appointed her as the team leader in this mission, as she was Xiuhuan's wife.

There was one thing that was unknown to them, that the cultivation base in the Upper and Underworlds was very different, as most Cultivators in the Underworld rarely reached the level of an Immortal, as most Cultivators in the Underworld were rare, different in the Upper World; an Immortal level there, still a Clan disciple and would become a disciple of the Qingyun Sect Outer Plateau upon reaching the Intermediate Immortal Stage.

“Bos we have new victims and this one they use the very luxurious Flying Ship Artifacts!”

The Axe Gang's men, the name of the group of robbers came to report to his Boss, who was an Early Stage Immortal Realm who—wanted to have a beautiful woman whom they had just captured a moment ago.

The Axe Gang Boss immediately turned around and the beautiful woman was not touched. Although a little annoyed at the disturbance of his men, but upon hearing the luxurious Flying Ship Artifacts, his eyes immediately sparkled with interest in the artifacts of the Flying Ship, which he was, because it was very rare for a luxury Flying Artifact to pass without such a tight escort.

“Nona Zhi Yu, are you okay?”

The voice of the Man from behind the wall asked the state of Zhi Yu, the Princess of the Moon Pavilion owner, who was the greatest merchant Association in Zhu Kingdom.

“I'm fine Brother Bai!” sahut Zhi Yu on the man who is one Clan with Xiuhuan's wife. And he was an Early Stage Immortal who worked at the Moon Pavilion, but the man whose full name was Bai Yuejing was defeated by the Axe Gang Boss in a one-on-one duel.

Currently Bao Yuejing was severely injured and only himself and Zhi Yu survived, while the rest were instantly killed during the fight between the Swordsman of the Moon Pavilion against the Axe Gang.

Yes, this happened so suddenly. Though the day before they had passed through this place when they were about to head for the Qin Kingdom, but just after coming back from there, suddenly hundreds of Axe Gang members surrounded their Flying Ship Artifacts, so that there was a short fight and Zhi Yu was detained by them and wanted to be used as a comfort woman for the Axe Gang.

Zhi Yu covered his body with Hanfu who had been torn as a result of being forcefully torn by the Axe Gang Boss and leaned against the wall of the narrow and dark room. He only wished for his father to come save him, whereas Bai Yuejing continued to give words of encouragement to him, although in fact Zhi Yu did not listen to what he said— as his thoughts were currently drifting everywhere.

The Axe Gang Boss directly used artifacts that could see objects as far as a mile away. And this artifact he got from Zhi Yu's dimensional ring.

“What an incredible artifact, I will name it; Terepeng Eyes Eagle!” muttered the Axe Gang Boss when he saw Lou Er's face as if she was smiling at him, even though the distance between the two was very far. He then turned his artifact a little sideways and was surprised to see there was a very beautiful woman next to Lou Er, she was Nie Rou. “I have to get the woman!” The Axe Gang Boss smiled widely and he only saw two women and Three young men on top of the Luxurious Flying Ship Artifact.

Axe Gang Bosses guessed, maybe they were noble families or big Sect disciples, but it didn't matter to him—because he was an Immortal, he was an Immortal, so it takes a Sect Leader to defeat himself or a General of a Kingdom.

“Prepare the Seal as soon as possible!” exclaimed the Axe Gang Boss at the Sepuh-old Swordsman next to him. He was Lu Hui—Cultivator Seal expert who was also the right-hand man of the Axe Gang Boss.

“Good, Boss! However, we only have two more women. Which woman will we use as her show?” Lu Hui asked, as he hesitated to take one of them. Zhi Yu was still sealed, while the other one was his favorite woman.

The Axe Gang Boss stared intently at him and said, “What is it worth asking again? It's obvious crush the old woman!”

With a wry smile, Lu Hui cupped his fists to apologize to him, because this Axe Gang Boss had a high temper and did not hesitate to kill his incompetent subordinates.

Zhi Yu was instantly frightened as Lu Hui entered the basement of the Axe Gang's headquarters. He thought Lu Hui would stain his body, but Lu Hui instead walked into another room and heard a cry for mercy from there. Not long after, Lu Hui walked out while carrying the woman's head, so Zhi Yu felt his stomach nauseous and vomited up his entrails.

“Ke-cruel once!” muttered Zhi Yu sobbing, afraid that such a thing would befall her as well.
