Zui Wu Dao Vol 2 Chapter 40

Chapter 40     Shen Tui Men’s Greed

Because Xuan Luo stepped in, the disciples from Shen Tui Men had no choice but to leave. The second dang jia had lost his life. Who would have thought?

But Shen Tui Men have always been arrogant; they often targetted the weak and young -death cannot wipe out the crimes they have committed.

The skin on Xuan Luo’s wrist has totally been flipped open. The villagers were very grateful towards Xuan Luo for stepping out to help them. They didn’t say it verbally though; it was something they kept within their hearts.

“Ah! So painful!” Xuan Luo didn’t feel the pain on his hand during the fight. However, now, the pain was abnormally intense.

At least, the incident at the village has been dealt with. Sadly, Hu Zi’s left arm is totally gone. He is now a person of disability. Once Shen Tui Men left, the villagers quickly carried Hu Zi to the old man’s straw room. Xuan Luo’s condition looked much more optimistic. He did lose some blood, but it’s torn skin only.

However, the old man’s st.i.tching skills was indeed quite poor. It took him nearly half an hour to st.i.tch Xuan Luo’s wound, which caused Xuan Luo extreme pain. However, it still wasn’t nearly as intense as the pain he had endured when he first started nei gong xin fa from the ragged book. But the needle and the string would go through his flesh, and the old man would tug it, so you can imagine how painful it must have been.

“You’re finally done…” Xuan Luo looked at his st.i.tched wrist, and breathe out a sign of relief.

“I’m old and my sight is not so good…” The old man explained. This caused Xuan Luo to be speechless. He would rather the old man not explain. Once he started explaining, Xuan Luo felt like the old man purposely wanted to give him a hard time.

“Duan ye ye, how’s Hu Zi?” Xuan Luo decided to ignore the other stuff and focused on Hu Zi’s condition instead. Honestly, Hu Zi’s condition was depressing.

Hu Zi’s mother’s death was a devastating blow to him. Hu Zi had already lost his father during his early years. Now, he has no living parent.

The old man shook his head, and he crinkled his brows. He sadly sighed, “He is still unconscious. His mother’s death and everything that has happened is very traumatic for him. Not to mention, he lost his left arm. That’s going to tremendously affect his daily life from now on…”

The old man couldn’t help but sigh. He looked at the Hu Zi laying on the sick bed, and lightly whispered, “Chopped arms can be fixable. But my current abilities are not there yet…”

Hearing this, Xuan Luo was in shock. It’s possible to connect a chopped arm back together?  How high of medical expertise would that require? A human has many jing mai that are connected very closely together. On the arm alone, are a couple of important ones. If a chopped arm was to be connected, wouldn’t the jing mai have to be connected as well? How amazing and skillful must one be in order to complete such a task?

However, it is too late for Hu Zi. After a certain amount of time has pa.s.sed, even if one had amazing skills, it would be too late to connect the arm back together.

Xuan Luo sadly looked at Hu Zi. Then, he turned to the old man and asked, “Duan ye ye, what were those people doing here?”

Although Xuan Luo has an impression of Shen Tui Men, they didn’t seem that overboard at the time. It was a coincidence that he encountered them. At the time, his martial arts skills were low, and he couldn’t do much.

Hearing Xuan Luo’s question, the old man’s eyes revealed a stream of hatred. He bitterly shrilled, “They’re a bunch of robbers!”

“When they arrived, they went to take a rest at Hu Zi’s house. Hu Zi’s mother is very kind hearted…who knew…” The old man didn’t continue his sentence, but Xuan Luo knew what he wanted to say.

“So Hu Zi went after those men. Hu Zi is a strong man. He has the strength to fight and most of those men were no opponents to him. However, their big boss was very strong. Within a few moves, he had taken Hu Zi down…afterwards, you know what happened!”

It turns out that Shen Tui Men are very greedy. They want to expand their influential powers and they have started attacking whatever that was around them. The old man didn’t know too much, but he has heard a lot. When Shen Tui Men gathered the villagers altogether, they said, “If you will do as we say, we will spare your lives.”

In order for an influential power to form, they have to constantly ma.s.sacre. That is the only way to control the people. Influential power means no one dares to challenge your authority. Obviously, within every influential power, there are also those who fight for the position. That’s jiang hu for you!

Two years ago, Shen Tui Men was a new influential power that appeared in Qian Deng Zhen. Who would have thought that within two years they would already spread so far? Although Xia Luo village and Qian Deng Zhen are both small villages, Xia Luo village is located a lot deeper within the mountain; it wasn’t as obvious as Qian Deng Zhen. Who knew why Shen Tui Men wanted this territory?

“Duan ye ye, does that mean Shen Tui Men wants to take over this region?” Xuan Luo instantaneously asked.

“I’m not sure. But I heard them say, ‘We’re responsible for this location. Qian Deng Zhen is da ge’s…. I a.s.sume he would have taken over it by now.’ What that means…I don’t know*” The old man reflected.

Hearing this, Xuan Luo felt a sense of disgust. Shen Tui Men dared to reach so far.. from Xia Luo village to Qian Deng Zhen. Are they seriously planning to take over everything?

Suddenly, Xuan Luo got up and yelled, “Duan ye ye, I have to return to Qian Deng Zhen. I’ll be back in a couple of days.”

The old man was surprised by Xuan Luo’s anxiety. He didn’t know what was going on, but he didn’t stop him. From Xuan Luo’s expression, he could tell Xuan Luo was very nervous.

“Okay!” The old man replied.

Xuan Luo quickly left and ran towards Qian Deng Zhen.

Clearly, that man had came prepared to take over Xia Luo village. Based on what the old man had told him, Shang Hua should be the one dealing with Qian Deng Zhen. They have already planned it ahead of time. This means Shen Tui Men are already making moves all over the region.

Xuan Luo rushes towards Qian Deng Zhen, and within his heart, he kept repeating, “Please be alright, Stepfather!”

However, Xuan Luo had totally forgotten that in Qian Deng Zhen, there is still a Dong Fang Yu….
