Chapter 34: Go Back Where You Came From!
“Exorcise Demons? Tell me in detail what happened?”
Ji Qing heard it was related to “Exorcise Demons,” so he was no longer sleepy.
“Great Hero Ji, it’s like this…”
One-eared began to explain this task in detail from beginning to end.
The thousand gold of Tong City Fang Family is suspected to be possessed by a demon, with strange behavior.
Fang Family sought all famous doctors nearby and far away, but there was no effect.
Later they sought people to exorcise demons.
Similarly, there was no effect.
Fang Family then made this matter public, recruiting extraordinary people from Jianghu. Whoever can cure Fang Family thousand gold, Fang Family is willing to offer a thousand taels of gold!
Once the news spread, many people in Jianghu rushed to Tong City.
Although Tong City also has Listen to the Wind Tower, Listen to the Wind Tower’s system is very special. Each Listen to the Wind Tower can actually be considered an independent entity.
There is also competition between Listen to the Wind Towers.
Shopkeeper Yu obviously did not want to miss this opportunity. What she wanted was not only Fang Family’s thousand taels of gold, but also the influence of An Yang City Listen to the Wind Tower, wanting to expand the influence to Tong City.
This is the real reason why Shopkeeper Yu was willing to pay a high price to invite Ji Qing.
Ji Qing understood the ins and outs and nodded, saying: “Alright, I’ll take this job!”
“Good, then I’ll go back to report.”
One-eared quietly left the Library without a sound again.
The reason Ji Qing had been so “peaceful” these three months was because he had reached a “cooperation agreement” with Listen to the Wind Tower Shopkeeper Yu.
Listen to the Wind Tower withdrew the intelligence about him.
And Ji Qing would take action for Listen to the Wind Tower on some matters.
Of course, the initiative was with Ji Qing.
He could refuse.
Moreover, every time he did something for Listen to the Wind Tower, he could get corresponding compensation.
There was also an additional condition: for information on “Skin-changing Demon” or “demon,” Listen to the Wind Tower would provide relevant intelligence to Ji Qing for free.
The reason he could get such high conditions was because in his battle with Du Chen, he demonstrated “Saber Momentum.”
According to what Shopkeeper Yu said.
Mastering Saber Momentum means there is hope of achieving Grandmaster in the future.
A single Grandmaster has too much influence.
Even a strong entity like Listen to the Wind Tower dares not sell a Grandmaster’s intelligence.
“Saber Momentum… I am far from mastering Saber Momentum. I can only say it’s the prototype of Saber Momentum…”
Ji Qing was very clear that what he grasped was not true Saber Momentum.
He comprehended “Accumulating Momentum” through perfection in Drawing Sword Technique.
He could only accumulate momentum when holding the saber.
But if there was no saber, Ji Qing could not unleash Saber Momentum.
Moreover, he could not control Saber Momentum. He could only draw the saber while accumulating momentum, with Saber Momentum accompanying the Blade Light to strike.
If truly mastering Saber Momentum, there would not be so many limitations.
But even so, even if it’s just the prototype of Saber Momentum, how many martial artists in Jianghu can master it?
The next day early in the morning, Ji Qing disguised himself and left An Yang City, heading straight for Tong City.
Tong City is not far from An Yang City. Riding fast, it took only three days, and Ji Qing arrived at Tong City.
Tong City is famous for “copper.”
There are many copper mines here, so the Imperial Court has opened many mines, and there are many miners.
Walking on the street, groups of miners can be seen from time to time.
Ji Qing inquired about the location of “Fang Family” and headed straight for Fang Family.
At this moment in Fang Mansion, many people had already gathered.
Mainly Jianghu martial artists.
There were also some from all walks of life, so-called extraordinary people.
Obviously, they all came for Fang Family’s bounty of “thousand taels of gold.”
“Master Fang, what exactly are we waiting for? Why not let Miss come out, and we each use our means to exorcise the demon, so Miss Fang can recover early.”
“Yeah, with so many of us, all kinds of extraordinary people, surely we can exorcise the demon?”
“Hmph, whether it’s a demon or not, with us here, Miss Fang will definitely recover!”
Not all in this group were good-for-nothings or Jianghu charlatans.
Many still had real skills.
For example, some Jianghu martial artists even had some prestige in Jianghu.
But Steward Fang was somewhat hesitant.
An Yang City Listen to the Wind Tower’s news arranged for a truly “professional” person to come.
If even this “professional” could not cure Miss Fang, then basically no one else could.
Steward Fang still trusted An Yang City Listen to the Wind Tower very much.
Therefore, he had been waiting.
Calculating the time, it should be arriving soon.
“Everyone, please be patient and wait a bit more. There is a very important distinguished guest who hasn’t arrived yet. Once he comes, we will naturally let everyone display their divine abilities.”
Steward Fang was appeasing the crowd.
“Hmph, what person is worth all of us waiting together?”
“Could it be that all of us together are not as good as him alone?”
“Does Steward Fang not trust us?”
Everyone in the hall were “shrewd” Jianghu people. How could they not hear the meaning in Steward Fang’s words?
Obviously, in Steward Fang’s view, these people were dispensable, while that “distinguished guest” was the most important!
At this time, a servant hurriedly ran in.
“Master, there is a Jianghu person outside who gave a token.”
The servant handed a token to Steward Fang.
It was none other than An Yang City’s Listen to the Wind Token.
Steward Fang was overjoyed and hurriedly said: “Quick, invite the distinguished guest in!”
“Yes, Master.”
The servant hurriedly left.
Steward Fang smiled and said to the crowd in the hall: “Everyone, that distinguished guest has arrived. When the time comes, I still need to ask everyone to display your divine abilities to treat my daughter.”
To the outside, Steward Fang was still recruiting many Jianghu extraordinary people under the pretext of “treating illness.”
The crowd in the hall also wanted to see what kind of person could be so valued by Steward Fang.
Soon, the servant brought in a man wearing a conical hat and carrying a long saber at his waist.
The other party was dressed like a common Jianghu person, nothing special.
“Master, the person has arrived.”
“Good! May I ask how to address this great hero?”
“Zhang Yun.”
“So it’s Great Hero Zhang, please take a seat.”
Steward Fang directly pointed to the first chair on the left and said.
Ji Qing raised his head and scanned the entire hall.
He used the alias Zhang Yun, and Steward Fang did not know his real identity.
He only knew it was an expert invited by An Yang City Listen to the Wind Tower.
But how high exactly, Steward Fang was not clear.
Yet the respect that should be given, Steward Fang did it properly.
Even leaving the first chair for Ji Qing.
Ji Qing could naturally see that everyone in the hall had their own ulterior motives.
These were all old Jianghu people, from all walks of life, all kinds gathered in Fang Mansion.
Exorcise Demons?
They didn’t have that much ability!
But sabotaging or infighting, each was an expert.
The reason they hadn’t acted up yet was out of respect for Steward Fang.
When truly starting to exorcise demons, these people would probably cause trouble.
Ji Qing was too lazy to scheme with these people.
So, Ji Qing slowly said: “Exorcise Demons can be handled by me alone. Please return from wherever you came!”
“Boom.”
As soon as the words fell, the crowd in the hall instantly exploded!
