Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 48 Snake Plague
Taoist Mu Sang revealed: "It is said that the Dragon Subduing Society has organized businesses in Jiangnan to gather wealth, and has gathered righteous men and heroes in Jiangbei to create a great momentum. Now it has become the largest gang in the world!"

He reminded Huang Sixi: "The Dragon Subduing Society was able to achieve success in such a short period of time because it used the name 'Dragon Subduing Hero' as its banner, but you have been away from the society for many years. When you return in the future, will the current leader be willing to hand over the Dragon Subduing Society to you?"

Huang Sixi replied: "Why should I pay it? I am not interested in these matters. It is not a bad idea to let them continue to manage them."

Taoist Mu Sang suddenly realized that his junior fellow apprentice should be a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. When he went to assassinate the Tartar emperor, he certainly did not do so for the reputation of being a hero.

"Even if you, Junior Brother, don't want to get involved in the affairs of the Dragon Subduing Society, you still have to monitor it."

Taoist Mu Sang is now a fellow disciple of Huang Sixi, so he gave him earnest advice:

"The Dragon Subduing Society relies on your reputation to do things outside. If they rebel in the future, it means that you rebel. If they surrender to the court in the future, it also means that you surrender to the court. You absolutely cannot stay out of it!"

Huang Sixi felt that there was some truth in what this senior brother said.

He thought that although there had been no Tartar invasions in recent years, the officers and soldiers were still unable to wipe out the rebel army. On the contrary, due to natural disasters and man-made calamities, the people were living in misery, which led to the rebel army becoming more and more powerful.

The historical trend was unstoppable and seemed irreversible. The rebel army would probably eventually break through the capital and force Chongzhen to hang himself.

Huang Sixi thought again, it is already the 16th year of Chongzhen, and the decisive battle between the government soldiers and the rebel army is not far away. Even if I don't intervene, the Dragon Subduing Society must make a choice.

At present, the Dragon Subduing Society is already the largest gang in the world. Both the government soldiers and the rebel forces are vying to win it over, and naturally they are deeply wary of it. Once the government soldiers and the rebel forces decide the winner, they will probably not allow the Dragon Subduing Society to continue to grow.

"I'll discuss this matter with Jianglong Society after I return from Dali!"

Huang Sixi said, "At the beginning, they made a promise not to join the imperial court or the rebel army, but only to engage in business to raise funds to help the people. Before obtaining my permission, they will not intervene in the current situation."

"Since Junior Brother has already made arrangements, I will not say anything more."

Taoist Mu Sang said with a smile: "When I arrive at the Dragon Subduing Society, I will deliver the beehives to you. Then I will go to Huashan and ask Chengzhi to come to the Dragon Subduing Society. He is a simple and honest person, and he will definitely be a good helper to you, Junior Brother!"

Huang Sixi immediately objected: "Brother, you'd better not do this!"

Taoist Mu Sang was puzzled: "Why is this?"

Huang Sixi paused for a moment and told him: "Huashan Gui Xinshu and Gui Erniang, as well as the disciples of this lineage, were all killed by me!"

"what!"

Taoist Mu Sang was caught off guard by the news. He couldn't understand why the famous Hero Subduing the Dragon would have to make enemies with the Huashan Sect, the leader of the righteous martial arts world?
He moved the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

The brothers just stared at each other for a long time without saying a word.

Taoist Mu Sang hesitated for a while, and his face suddenly became firm. He thought that the Dragon Subduing Hero could not have killed the wrong person.

He said in a resounding voice: "There is no difference between the people killed by my brother and those killed by me! If the Huashan Sect wants to take revenge in the future, I will stop it for you. Just do what you want to do and don't worry about being disturbed by this matter!"

Huang Sixi originally wanted to explain the reason why he killed Gui Xinshu and his wife, but after hearing Taoist Mu Sang's statement, he stopped talking.

With his current martial arts skills, he doesn't need anyone to block anyone for him, but Taoist Mu Sang has good intentions, so it's appropriate for him to make a joke.

"I feel at ease with my senior brother protecting me from the wind and rain!"

"Junior brother, you know how to flatter me. Remember to flatter me more in the future. I love to hear that, senior brother!"

After they finished speaking, they both laughed.

For the next month or so, they all stayed in Bee Valley to raise bees.

When Taoist Mu Sang became familiar with the habits of poisonous bees and could safely escort the beehives, Huang Sixi bought a pony for him and sent him away from the Tibetan border and back to the Central Plains.

The farewell to Zhu Lao's family also came soon.

That day, Huang Sixi packed his bags and left the village where he had lived for five years.

Zhu Lao and Zhu Shihong accompanied him to see him off, both reluctant to leave, and repeatedly told him not to forget this home, and that his residence would be kept and ready for him to live in whenever he came back. He knew that Zhu Lao's family had great intentions, but he would never come back after he left this time.

People in the martial arts world regard the whole world as their home, there is nothing to be sad about.

He said goodbye to Zhu Lao Zhu Shihong and started on a long journey on horseback.

This trip has a clear purpose.

Huang Sixi was going to Dali, Yunnan, to visit the Poison Dragon Cave in the Lingshe Mountain of the Five Poison Sect.

The leader of the Xiandu Sect is imprisoned in this cave.

As long as Huang Sixi finds the leader of Xiandu, he will be able to find the last killing sword.

The village where he currently lives is located at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, not far from Dali.

Just as Taoist Mu Sang had expected, Huang Sixi had arrived thirty miles outside Dali City after riding for half a day.

But the weather was not good and it suddenly started to rain heavily.

He has a small beehive on his pony that is protected from the rain.

He looked around and saw a dilapidated temple at the foot of the mountain to the left. He immediately rode his horse into the temple to take shelter from the rain.

But when I entered the temple, I found that someone had already got there.

Inside the temple stood a thin middle-aged man with two whiskers on his upper lip and small eyes, giving people a sneaky and unpleasant impression.

However, this man behaved quite decently. He had originally planned to take off his wet coat and light a fire to dry it. When he saw Huang Sixi entering the temple, he quickly stopped, clasped his fists towards Huang Sixi, and then showed a friendly smile.

"It's a strange day. It rained so hard all of a sudden! Fortunately, there is a dilapidated temple to take shelter in. Otherwise, we passers-by might have caught a cold if we were shocked by the heavy rain!"

The middle-aged man was talking to himself, but he was also signaling to Huang Sixi that he was just passing by, purely to avoid the rain. After everyone had avoided the rain, they would go their separate ways.

Huang Sixi nodded at him, found a corner in the temple, and sat down to rest.

The atmosphere in the temple soon fell silent.

After a while, a strange noise was heard coming from outside the temple gate.

Huang Sixi immediately became alert. He looked outside the door and couldn't help frowning.

The middle-aged man screamed out: "Ah! Snake!"

He quickly stood up and dodged backwards until he stopped close to the temple wall.

In theory, he was a traveling traveler and he saw quite a few insects in the wild every day, so there was no need to make a fuss.

But the big snake in front of him was really scary. Its body was more than ten feet long and as thick as a human arm. Its skin was covered with colorful patterns, and its head was triangular in shape, the size of a normal person's fist.

As long as the snake's head is in the triangle shape, it is basically a poisonous snake.

Ordinary large snakes are usually not poisonous, but the snake at the temple gate is extremely poisonous and quite rare.

Only middle-aged men would feel fear. What he is more worried about is that the poisonous snake is not wild but is raised by humans.

A moment later, the poisonous snake had slid into the temple, as if someone had driven it away.

Soon Huang Sixi and the middle-aged man saw a beggar in tattered clothes walking in from outside the door. He had a full beard and his arms were exposed, covered with spots and scars.

He held a bamboo stick and followed the poisonous snake closely.
