Chapter 142: Three True Intents In One Sect
Su Yan shook out the spear in his hand, unnoticed by anyone, he went against the crowd, spear in hand, striding away.
He arrived outside East Street, where many ordinary people had already dispersed.
It wasn’t just Jun Mountain Alliance and Three United Association joining forces against Black Tiger Gang; Snake Shadow Gang had also joined in at some point.
The entire street and adjacent alleys were filled with their gang members fighting each other in combat, cleavers and sharp swords swinging, many participants being Skin Refining Realm martial artists, their moves ruthless in combat.
It seemed everyone understood that if their own gang leader defeated the opponent’s gang leader, then the second Little Mountain Association would successfully establish itself.
Su Yan walked into East Street with his spear, and the bloodshot-eyed gang minions immediately spotted this man holding a weapon.
Three men with ferocious expressions charged with knives, swinging them toward Su Yan’s neck.
Su Yan didn’t even lift his gaze, he flicked the spear in his hand, directly shaking all three flying out and breaking one arm each.
“Tough nut!”
This action was seen by others, and several nearby people didn’t care if they were allies, as long as there was no ribbon tied on, they all came slashing over.
Su Yan merely pointed, thrust, and swept with the Scorpion Profound Spear in his hand, movements not large, clean and efficient, step by step as he moved, all charging gang members couldn’t get within a zhang of him.
Within a zhang around him, like sweeping away courtyard leaves, no one could withstand even one exchange.
Such commotion immediately alarmed many people.
Su Yan!
A small leader recognized the newcomer, his face suddenly changing, he held back his knife momentum and strode over.
“Young Master Su, it’s a misunderstanding, my subordinates rashly offended you…”
The man didn’t want to offend Su Yan, and it was unclear if he was from Snake Shadow Gang or Jun Mountain Alliance.
Su Yan merely slightly raised his eyes: “You’ve disturbed my Golden Ape Martial Arts School’s shop, let’s fight.”
The man’s face stiffened, and Su Yan had already swept the spear over.
The man horizontally blocked with his knife in front of him, grunted, his figure flying backward, directly crashing into a shop, collapsing in pain unable to rise.
This action made hearts jump, and people subconsciously retreated a few steps.
Su Yan, however, swept his gaze slightly, seeing there were still two or three hundred people on the street, so he slightly released his aura, instantly subduing everyone.
He quickened his steps, his figure like threading through shadows, spear thrusts like a dragon, in just a dozen breaths, from street corner to street end, all gang members of Jun Mountain Alliance, Snake Shadow Gang, Black Tiger Gang, and Three United Association were knocked to the ground.
Roar!
A tiger roar, a black-horned tiger blocked the street, obstructing Su Yan’s path.
On one side’s rooftop, a bucket-thick blue-patterned black snake climbed out, its orange-yellow snake pupils tightly staring at Su Yan.
From the left, a long-maned black bear charged, its body over a zhang long, bear paws thick and sturdy, extremely burly. From the right, a tall skeletal gray wolf with ferocious claws and fangs, like a skeleton.
Black Tiger Gang’s Xu Da, Snake Shadow Gang’s Lin Qing, Jun Mountain Alliance’s Zhou Musu, Three United Association’s Xu Tianhou.
Four gang leaders, four Heart Ape Stage martial artists, weapons in hand, stepping into the street, looking at Su Yan with particularly hostile gazes.
“Young Master Su, I respect you as a Golden Ape Martial Arts School disciple, but today’s matter has gone too far.”
Xu Da sternly questioned, as Su Yan had knocked all gang members to the ground.
It not only disrupted their plans, but also forced them to demand an explanation from Su Yan.
With gang members beaten like this, they didn’t dare make a sound.
Those in the know would say they were wary of Su Yan’s impending entry into Beast King Sect.
Those unaware might think these four Heart Ape Stage martial artists were afraid of Su Yan, a mere Spirit Nurturing Realm martial artist.
With such a reputation, no need to vie for status; they’d have to wear masks outside to cover their faces.
“Exactly! Young Master Su, even if School Master Bai came today, he’d have to give us an explanation.”
“Disturbing my Golden Ape Martial Arts School’s shop, it’s you gang leaders who should give me an explanation.”
Su Yan raised his head, eyes narrowing, tone flat.
Xu Da and the others immediately showed anger; a mere Spirit Nurturing Realm martial artist really thought entering Beast King Sect made him their equal?
“Hmph, I’ll teach you the martial world’s rules on behalf of School Master Bai.”
“You’re worthy?”
Su Yan pointed his spear, then coldly said: “An explanation, is it? Come on!”
Behind him, White Ape rose, aura suddenly surging, ape howl spreading through the street, everyone stunned.
Su Yan had broken through to True Intent!
Not good!
Xu Da and the others’ faces slightly changed, not fearing Su Yan’s strength, but his talent.
Not yet entered Beast King Sect and already a True Intent martial artist, even if just beginner, such talent would be a promising seedling in Beast King Sect.
Earlier, unable to save face, they had offended him; if only Spirit Nurturing Realm, they could discipline him for lacking respect.
Now, both True Intent, how to discipline?
Xu Tianhou was about to speak to ease things when Su Yan strode forward.
“Everyone, let me see your skills.”
Su Yan swept his spear horizontally, already attacking; the four men’s faces darkened, knowing it unavoidable.
“Let’s see Young Master Su’s skills.”
Xu Da’s black-horned tiger pounced, momentum fierce; tiger before man, he himself held knife horizontally slashing, following closely.
White Ape charged, swinging a massive fist, smashing the black claw tiger aside with one punch, causing the wall to collapse with a boom, dust rising everywhere.
Xu Da’s saber light reached his body, Su Yan thrust the Scorpion Profound Spear upward from below, shattering the saber light, spear tip reaching Xu Da.
He hurriedly blocked with his saber, clashing against the spear tip, emitting a clear ring.
Su Yan’s arms exerted force, true essence bursting out, a great strength directly sending Xu Da flying two or three zhang away.
The remaining three were greatly alarmed, then sank in heart, all directly attacking, planning to defeat Su Yan first.
Xu Tianhou’s bone spear assaulted, sturdy bone wolf pouncing like a ghost to Su Yan’s rear.
Su Yan without looking back, speared straight at the oncoming Lin Qing and Zhou Musu, tiger shadows layered, spear producing a hundred rays, shattering their attacks.
White Ape leaped, landing behind him, insect armor tightly attached to arms, tiger aspect manifesting, grabbed the sturdy bone wolf’s head with a large hand, smashing it into the ground, embedding it in a deep pit.
Xu Tianhou thrust spear at White Ape’s throat, wanting to break this True Intent; his arms poured out true essence, condensing at the spear tip, sharpness evident.
But White Ape glared angrily, grabbed with one hand, clamping the spear tip dead, unable to advance an inch.
‘He just broke through, how is he so powerful?!’
Xu Tianhou shocked in heart, changed moves on hand, but White Ape pressed with Fierce Ape Three Forms step by step, fist techniques rough, not as fluid as Ruyi Realm.
But one force breaks all laws, under immense power, constantly forced into dead ends.
On the other side, Su Yan single-handedly fought Lin Qing and Zhou Musu and their True Intents.
Clearly one against four, but spear technique flowing like clouds and water, layered tiger shadows like a barrier, hard to breach.
Moreover, after several close combats, attacks landing on his body revealed skin like white jade, defense unmatched, unable to injure him at all.
After ten exchanges, Xu Tianhou’s sturdy bone wolf body dispersed, Xu Tianhou defeated by White Ape, smashed into a wall.
At fifteen exchanges, White Ape True Intent joined Su Yan in striking, sweeping away Zhou Musu and his long-maned black bear True Intent.
At twenty exchanges, Lin Qing’s blue-patterned black snake pierced by spear, Lin Qing himself grabbed by Su Yan’s Blood Slaughter Hand in front, thrown flying.
One against four, spear unmatched.
Su Yan defeated the four gang leaders, spear in hand, surrounding people silent, especially the spies and shopkeepers who arrived later.
“From today on, any more disputes, settle them outside the city; these are my words.”
White Ape True Intent dispersed with the wind, turning into countless strands of true essence merging into his body.
Spear on back, he strode out of the street alley.
“This kid’s made it, damn that Bai Changlin old man’s good luck!”
Lin Nianzu watched Su Yan’s figure, muttering to himself.
Not just him, Zhao Pan and Zuo Qian also glanced sideways at Su Yan, hearts full of shock.
“Old Zuo, at Heart Ape Realm, could you take on four?”
“Bullshit, one-on-one not guaranteed win. One-on-four? That kid’s probably just beginner Heart Ape Realm, and you dare imagine?”
Zhao Pan was speechless, then gravely said: “That’s Eighteen Styles of Blood Tiger, how long has he had it, already such spear momentum, talent truly terrifying.”
“What about later?”
Zuo Qian asked about this fight.
Zhao Pan said: “Drive them out of the city, their fights growing more unrestrained, time to discipline.”
“Good.”
Originally planning to select one to fill the power gap, how could they allow endless fighting?
Did they think they were Liang Ying? Their minions Little Mountain Association?
Su Yan’s battle caused Yun Cang Town to explode.
Not even waiting for the next day, the four gang leaders who were knocked flying sent apology gifts to Golden Ape Martial Arts School, apologizing for delaying shop business.
Various families sent congratulatory gifts, congratulating Su Yan’s breakthrough to True Intent Realm; Golden Ape Martial Arts School suddenly bustling, Gao Zheng in charge of reception truly overwhelmed.
East Street alley battle over not three days, Bai Yun rode back from outside the city, White Ape on back carrying a two-zhang-plus second-order purple wind tiger, drawing sideways glances.
Bai Yun gifted the purple wind tiger to congratulate Su Yan, and everyone realized she too had broken True Intent, becoming a Heart Ape Realm martial artist.
Senior sister and junior brother both broke through together, such news like a tidal wave sweeping entire Yun Cang Town.
Golden Ape Martial Arts School even livelier.
Of course, major forces’ hearts skipped; such Golden Ape Martial Arts School, even Lin Family probably couldn’t suppress.
Yet not three days later, Li Jinshan consumed True Intent Pill, comprehended tiger-ape intent, condensed White Ape into golden body White Ape form, stepping into True Intent Realm.
Golden Ape Martial Arts School immediately spread the news, widely inviting friends for a celebratory banquet.
One school, three True Intents.
Bai Changlin not only prestigious, but became Yun Cang Town’s number one teacher.
Three True Intent disciples under him, plus two True Intent elders.
Just his line alone had six True Intents, more than many families.
Major forces shocked and fearful in heart, worrying such Golden Ape Martial Arts School would be more arrogant than Little Mountain Association.
But after a few days, seeing no major moves from Golden Ape Martial Arts School, hearts slightly settled.
Also realizing Su Yan and Bai Yun would eventually enter Beast King Sect, leaving Golden Ape Martial Arts School with only four standing True Intents.
Strong yes, but not enough for crushing dominance.
But bad news: Golden Ape Martial Arts School now had backing.
Two disciples entering Beast King Sect, one own daughter, one prized pupil, both close relations.
As long as they didn’t fall, they’d eventually become Golden Ape Martial Arts School’s backers.
Golden Ape Martial Arts School’s status solid, in less than ten years, likely become Yun Cang Town’s third force rivaling Lin Family.
Precisely because of Golden Ape Martial Arts School’s changes, various families made new arrangements, suddenly calming the situation, restoring balance.
Inside Golden Ape Martial Arts School, Gao Zheng had Dian Jing personally bring Xie Yuzhu into Yun Cang Town, quietly, unknown to others.
Arriving at the martial arts school’s inner courtyard, finally met Su Yan himself and Bai Changlin’s family.
Xie Yuzhu uneasy, wife Li Lian tightly holding son Xie Bao’s hand, also somewhat unadapted.
Mountain villagers enter city few times countable, let alone stepping into such a martial arts school; along the way, Dian Jing treated respectfully.
“A Yan’s grown taller…”
Seeing Su Yan, Xie Yuzhu slightly relaxed, but after holding back half a day, finally said just this.
Words thought up all the way, not a half-sentence said.
Su Yan laughed, supporting Xie Yuzhu’s hand, laughing especially happily.
“Second Uncle, it’s inconvenient for me to visit you too much, troubling you.”
“Cultivation important, cultivation important.”
Xie Yuzhu muttered this, Bai Yun and Li Jinshan etc. seeing, couldn’t help smiling.
No wonder Su Yan cared for their family; they truly meant well for him.
“Junior Brother, let Second Uncle rest first, meal is prepared.”
Bai Yun said softly, Su Yan nodded: “Second Uncle, Second Aunt, this is my master, this is Senior Brother Li Jinshan, this is Senior Sister…”
Su Yan introduced master, senior brothers and sisters; Xie Yuzhu nodded repeatedly, slightly bowing: “A Yan troubled you all.”
“Brother Xie, family doesn’t speak two words; taking A Yan as disciple is my fortune. I should thank you for pulling him through, saving his life.”
“It’s his own fortune, not my doing; the child worked hard, thanks School Master Bai.”
Su Yan just supported Xie Yuzhu, leading their family to eat.
He knew making Xie Yuzhu adapt to city life, martial arts school life, needed time, but that wasn’t an issue.
Senior Brother kind-hearted, Master Bai Changlin perceptive, Gao Zheng and Dian Jing reliable characters; with them watching over, Xie Yuzhu’s family worry-free.
After dinner, Su Yan personally settled the family in the martial arts school.
For Xie Yuzhu’s arrangement, he didn’t promise high position or much gold and silver, but made him steward managing servants, usual duties some routine affairs of middle and inner courtyards.
Duties not hard, just arranging kitchen meals, servants cleaning places, equivalent to mid-level steward, not handling martial artist matters.
Li Lian in kitchen handling meals, with subordinates to command, not heavy labor.
Their monthly salary moderate, over two taels, equivalent to an inner disciple’s monthly salary.
Not martial artists, board and lodging in martial arts school; such salary, a year with festival bonuses, fifty or sixty taels, far more stable than mountain hunting income.
Su Yan’s martial arts school dividends, also kept some, one to two hundred taels a year; not too much, but saved over years, enough in Yun Cang Town to buy housing, for Xie Bao’s future cultivation resources.
Arrangements Su Yan could make only went this far.
Whether Xie family advances further not in his arrangements, but in whether Xie Bao succeeds in cultivation.
Xie Bao’s bone structure average, medium level, but with hard work, possible to become Spirit Nurturing Realm martial artist.
Just needed effort.
After settling Xie Yuzhu’s family, time reached early February.
Su Yan immersed in cultivation, continuously refining spirit and true essence, fusing a thread of blood qi, forming Hundred Poisons Gu Seals one by one.
In dantian inner scene, Green-scaled Poisonous Flood Dragon True Intent manifested, inhaling and exhaling threads of poisonous true essence to aid refining.
Su Yan’s mind moved, countless true essence gathered, soon a purple Hundred Poisons Gu Seal gradually formed, joining the circulating seal chain.
Counting carefully, in this dantian inner scene, already tenth Hundred Poisons Gu Seal formed.
“Ten seals, time to try fusing one into Six-Winged Blood Centipede, wonder what the effect will be.”
