Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 121 Old Friends Visit the Village
Jianglong Villa.

This newly built manor on the bank of the Yellow River has suddenly become a treasure land that evil figures in the underworld flock to.

Since May, groups of evil heroes have been waiting at the welcoming pavilion at the foot of the mountain every day, waiting to meet Master Huang, who is rumored to be able to cure the injuries of the Three Corpses Brain Pill.

As the number of people grew, the Welcoming Pavilion could no longer accommodate them, so they set up camp outside the pavilion and directly surrounded the foot of the mountain, almost blocking the way up the mountain.

When the Demon Cult elder Qu Yang and his granddaughter Qu Feiyan arrived here, they found it incredible to see the foot of the mountain crowded with people, but it was also a good opportunity for them to understand the situation of Jianglong Villa.

Qu Yang looked around the crowd and found dozens of gang leaders, cult leaders, island owners or cave masters who came from all over the world.

The leaders of these evil sects had long been recruited by the Sun Moon Divine Religion. As an elder of the cult, Qu Yang was no stranger to them.

However, ever since Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony, the relationship between Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng has spread throughout the martial arts world. Now Liu Zhengfeng is excluded by the righteous path, and Qu Yang is also wanted by the Sun and Moon Sect.

Now Qu Yang travels around the world, and dares not reveal his true identity. Before he rushed to Jianglong Villa, he disguised himself in advance, and his granddaughter Qu Feiyan also changed her appearance.

Qu Feiyan was only twelve or thirteen years old when she participated in the hand-washing meeting. Now, more than a year has passed, and she has grown very fast. She is no longer a short girl, but has grown into a graceful young lady. No one would doubt her identity.

She followed Qu Yang to the welcoming pavilion, where sat Huang Boliu, leader of the Tianhe Gang, and Sima Da, owner of Changjing Island. Both were outlaws who roamed the Yellow River basin, commanding more than a thousand gang members and enjoying great reputations. They were surrounded by their fellow gang members in the pavilion.

Many new colleagues, who did not know the situation of Jianglong Villa, asked the two for advice.

Both of them had taken the Three Corpses Brain Pill, and since they shared the same suffering as everyone else, they did not act like gang leaders and told their fellow gang members everything they knew.

When Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan arrived outside the pavilion, they happened to hear someone asking, "It is said that after the expert treatment of Master Jianglong, the corpse worms can be easily suppressed and no antidote will be needed for several years. Is this true or false?"

"It must be true!"

Huang Boliu said confidently: "I have asked the Yellow River ancestors, and they told me clearly that Master Jianglong has a way to suppress the corpse worms for more than three years! In other words, as long as Master Jianglong is willing to treat us, we don't need to take antidotes for at least three years, and we don't have to worry about the corpse worms causing any harm to our bodies!"

"Ah! Three years? Then we won't have to worry about the Cult withholding the antidote anymore!"

The heroes in the pavilion were all excited and seemed overjoyed.

Huang Boliu immediately poured cold water on everyone, saying, "Don't be too happy too soon. Young Master Jianglong doesn't always succeed when he sees patients! Yesterday morning, the thief You Xun came to the manor happily for a consultation, but halfway through the treatment, the corpse worm suddenly woke up. Young Master Jianglong failed to suppress it in time, and half of You Xun's head was eaten by the corpse worm, and he died on the spot!"

You Xun's nickname is 'Slippery Hands'. He has committed countless crimes and never failed. However, he has evil intentions and does not follow the code of conduct when stealing from wealthy families. Whenever he steals from wealthy families, he always commits rape and robbery.

When everyone heard that You Xun died in Jianglong Villa, no one felt sympathy for him.

But everyone still frowned, because Master Jianglong's medical skills did not seem to be able to cure any disease with one touch.

"Excuse me, Chief Huang, the killing of a man by Young Master Jiang Long is just an isolated case, or does it happen all the time?"

The colleagues inside and outside the pavilion were all very concerned about this issue and pricked up their ears at the same time.

Huang Boliu gave a clear answer: "It's not an isolated case! 'Twin Snakes Evil Beggar' Yan Sanxing also died of a corpse worm attack during treatment. The two poisonous snakes he raised were taken away by Young Master Jianglong and released halfway up the mountain as snake beasts to guard the village!"

Compared with You Xun, Yan Sanxing is more vicious and cruel. He often disguises himself as a beggar and begs on the street. Whenever he meets a passerby who does not give him alms, he will immediately release a poisonous snake to bite the person and he enjoys it.

Everyone agreed that Yan Sanxing deserved to die, but he died while treating corpse worms, which further reduced everyone's confidence in Master Jianglong's medical skills.

There was silence for a while.

Sima Da, the owner of Changjing Island, suddenly spoke up and told everyone another example: "A few days ago, two bears from Mobei recklessly broke into the village and said arrogantly that if Master Jianglong killed one of them, the other would burn the village in revenge and let Master Jianglong be buried with him."

"The results of it?"

"As a result, the two Mobei bears were attacked by corpse worms at the same time. They were thrown out of the village gate by the Yellow River Patriarch who was guarding the village and thrown directly to the foot of the mountain. They wailed for three days and three nights before finally dying!"

Sima Da finished speaking and pointed to the steps at the foot of the mountain. He saw two charred bodies lying beside the steps. "Look, those are the Mobei Twin Bears. After they died, the Yellow River Ancestor set fire to their bodies to prevent them from rotting. But he hated them so much for offending Young Master Jianglong that he left their bodies exposed in the wild without giving them a burial!"

All the colleagues present knew exactly what kind of people the Mobei Twin Bears were. They were two giant thieves who had been roaming around the outer regions of the Great Wall for years and associated with the red-haired barbarians. The white bear among the twins was a member of the red-haired tribe and had committed cannibalism in the past.

Prince Jianglong tortured the Mobei twin bears for three days, perhaps with the intention of punishing them.

After hearing these examples of death by treatment, the heroes could not help but become suspicious: "Those who were cured by Master Jianglong were all villains who committed crimes. Did Master Jianglong do this on purpose? Master Jianglong would only help suppress the outbreak of corpse worms if good people came to see him for treatment. If it was a bad person who came to see him for treatment, Master Jianglong would ignore it!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and felt that this analysis made sense.

But the more it makes sense, the more uneasy everyone feels.

Because the heroes present here are generally not good people. They act recklessly in their daily lives and walk the line between good and evil, otherwise they would not have been recruited by the Sun and Moon Sect.

Seeing the change in the faces of the heroes, Qu Feiyan smiled and said, "No one is perfect! When you meet Master Jianglong, why don't you make a promise to follow Master Jianglong's rules and follow his lead. I think Master Jianglong will show leniency to you!"

When the heroes heard these remarks, they had different opinions.

Some of them have committed many evil deeds and dare not hope for forgiveness from Prince Jianglong.

There are also some people who have done nothing wrong in their lives. They think that they only steal and do thieves, and have never killed anyone. On the contrary, they occasionally do good deeds. If Master Jianglong kills them because of this, then Master Jianglong is killing innocent people! These people are not distracted and decide to let Master Jianglong treat them openly!
Of course, some people were thinking that maybe Master Jianglong killed someone simply because his medical skills were not good enough. There was no such thing as curing only good people and not bad people. What everyone was talking about was just a blind guess! This group of people also decided to consult Master Jianglong, just to try their luck!

So what is the real situation?

No one present knew the truth.

However, Huang Boliu and Sima Da speculated based on the example of Prince Jianglong curing death that the cause of death of these people should have nothing to do with medical skills.

Huang Boliu and Sima Da had been staying in the Welcoming Pavilion for many days, but they dared not go into the manor to pay a visit to Master Jianglong, for fear that they would also be killed by him.

Huang Boliu and Sima Da, as the leaders of the gang, did not commit any evil deeds personally. However, after they took the Three Corpses Brain Pill, they were unwilling to manage the gang's affairs, which led to the laxity of gang rules. As a result, the gang was mixed with good and bad people, and crimes were inevitable. Huang Boliu and Sima Da were worried, but they were unwilling to leave. They had a friendship with the Yellow River Patriarch and knew that Young Master Jianglong was an expert in medicine. As long as they were cured by Young Master Jianglong once and survived, they would not have to worry about corpse worms for at least three years.

It can also be said that once you establish a friendship with Young Master Jianglong, you will never need the antidote from the Sun and Moon Sect again.

However, Prince Jianglong can clearly distinguish between good and evil. If anyone has committed evil deeds, it will be difficult for him to save them, including the Yellow River Ancestor.

Huang Boliu and Sima Da once privately invited the Yellow River Ancestor to a banquet, hoping that the Yellow River Ancestor would help intercede for them, but they were rejected without hesitation.

Why was he rejected? Because the old man, one of the ancestors of the Yellow River, had killed innocent people in his early years. Even though the old man was working for Jianglong Villa, he still did not receive treatment from the young master Jianglong.

Young Master Jiang Long said to the old man face to face: "Even if your corpse worms attack in front of me, I will not help you."

The old man had no complaints about this, because his daughter's immortal congenital disease was cured by Young Master Jianglong. In order to allow his daughter to stay in Jianglong Villa in the future, the old man did not dare to violate any rules of the villa.

After hearing the old man's experience, Huang Boliu and Sima Da never mentioned the matter of pleading for mercy again.

The medical skills of Master Jianglong are superb and unparalleled in the world, but who can be cured and who will be refused? In fact, regardless of Master Jianglong's attitude, it all depends on the character of these evil people.

When Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan heard this, they suddenly saw a commotion among the crowd at the foot of the mountain.

They turned their heads and saw someone leaving the villa and walking quickly down the stone steps.

"Boss Huang, Island Master Sima, is Master Jianglong willing to treat anyone who comes to visit you?"

"In the past, the gate of Jianglong Villa was not open to the public. If fellow Taoists wanted to seek treatment from Master Jianglong, they had to go to Luoyang to pay a visit to the Saint Aunt first. After obtaining the Saint Aunt's name card, they could submit the card to the villa before they could see Master Jianglong!"

"Ah! So the Saint Lady and Young Master Jianglong have such a close relationship?"

"It's a pity that the Saint Lady left Luoyang recently, and no one knows where she went! The fellow Taoists couldn't find the Saint Lady, so they could only come to the mountain villa to pay their respects directly. Now is the critical day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and many fellow Taoists have not received the antidote from the Divine Religion, and are in danger. Young Master Jianglong sympathized with everyone's situation, so he opened the mountain gate!"

"Master Jianglong is truly kind! Since you want to save us, why don't we climb the mountain together?"

"The villa is so small, how can we all fit in? Everyone, please wait at the foot of the mountain! Young Master Jianglong has a rule that the number of people he treats every day is limited. As for who can enter the villa, Lan Fenghuang will personally go down the mountain to select people. She is the housekeeper of Jianglong Villa. Whoever she lets in can enter the villa, and whoever she lets out must leave the villa!"

"Lan Fenghuang? Isn't she the leader of the Five Immortals? Why doesn't she want to be a leader? She actually ran off to work as a housekeeper at Jianglong Villa?"

"So what if you are the leader? You ate the Three Corpses Brain Pill and have been worried day and night! Lan Fenghuang pledged allegiance to Young Master Jianglong, and from now on, you can get rid of the harm of the Brain Pill. It's not as good as being the leader and living a carefree life!"

"Hehe, I'm afraid the Divine Cult won't allow her to live happily. She wants to change her allegiance and pledge allegiance to Young Master Jianglong. When the Divine Cult gets the news in the future, they will definitely bring an army to punish her!"

"Stop gloating!"

Huang Boliu and Sima Da were furious and reminded everyone: "Master Jianglong is willing to give us the only way to survive. If anyone goes against Master Jianglong, it means that all of us will be killed. Do you really want to be eaten alive by corpse worms?"

Huang Boliu raised his arms and shouted: "I don't care what you do. Anyway, I, Huang Boliu and the Tianhe Gang, will resolutely defend Jianglong Villa and protect Master Jianglong until our death!"

Sima Da's voice became louder: "I, Sima Da, and Changjing Island will fight to the last soldier, and even if I die, I will not let outsiders disturb the grass and trees of Jianglong Villa!"

They knew that Lan Fenghuang had already walked down the mountain, and this declaration of loyalty was definitely meant for Lan Fenghuang to hear.

Lan Fenghuang chuckled and pointed at Huang Boliu and Sima Da first: "Since the two big gang leaders are so friendly to our villa, please come into the villa and have a chat. I will personally introduce you to my young master."

Huang Boliu and Sima Da were suddenly inexplicably excited. Lan Fenghuang's status in Jianglong Villa was much higher than that of Huanghe Patriarch. Since Lan Fenghuang took the initiative to recommend him, even if the diagnosis and treatment was not good, it would definitely not kill the patient.

Lan Fenghuang first selected Huang Boliu and Sima Da, and then picked out the patients to be treated today.

She was about to lead the group back to the villa.

Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan suddenly stepped forward and said to her, "We are old friends of Master Jianglong. We are not here to treat illnesses. Please, Miss Lan, give us a message!"

"Old friends? Since the villa was built, my master has not had any old friends come to visit! Where are you from? Give me a price of ten thousand!"

"We are not in a position to reveal our identities, so please forgive us, Miss Lan! More than a year ago, we had a drink with Young Master Jianglong at Huiyan Tower in Hengyang. Miss Lan only needs to mention it, and Young Master Jianglong will know who we are!"

"Then you guys follow me and go up the mountain first."

Jianglong Villa is built on the top of a mountain, with a pavilion in front of the gate.

Lan Fenghuang asked everyone to wait in the pavilion first while she went into the village to report the situation.

After a while, she came out and called Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan to meet in the living room.

At this time, Huang Sixi was sitting in the hall. He was naturally the Prince Conquering the Dragon as everyone knew.

When Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan saw Huang Sixi, they took off their disguises and revealed their true faces.

Lan Fenghuang saw this and frowned slightly. She knew Qu Yang's identity. This elder of the Demon Cult was wanted by the Sun and Moon Cult. He must have encountered some trouble when he came to pay a visit to Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi invited Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan to sit down, and said: "I thought you two had retired to the mountains, but I didn't expect you to still be wandering around. You are also rare visitors."

After more than a year, Huang Sixi had long forgotten Liu Zhengfeng, Qu Yang and others. After all, they only met once.

In fact, Qu Yang had almost forgotten about Huang Sixi. Huang Sixi had been living in seclusion in Jianglong Villa for more than half a year and had never set foot in the world of martial arts. It was equivalent to disappearing from the public eye.

Not long ago, Qu Yang was passing by the manor and heard a group of evil figures mention Young Master Jiang Long, who once killed the Five Mountains Alliance leader Zuo Lengchan with a single palm strike. Qu Yang then connected Young Master Jiang Long with Huang Sixi and suddenly had the idea of visiting him.
