Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Announcing Oneself
Hei Lang readily agreed, then with a leap, he soared into the air.
The several men in black present, totaling six, never imagined that this man, who often stood before them, would actually display his Qinggong.
“Quick, be on guard.”
Suddenly, one of them seemed to sense that something was amiss.
He shouted loudly, but the warning was too late.
Hei Lang’s speed was incredible; he spun down from mid-air and, with an outstretched leg, kicked the men to the ground.
And eventually, Hei Lang landed firmly in the center of the living room.
The young man took two steps back; he had never imagined that such a skilled fighter would be following this lean man.
“A bunch of trash, get up.”
He yelled loudly, and the group, enduring the pain, got to their feet.
Two of them even pulled out daggers from their clothing.
“Oh, I didn’t expect you to be armed, but this is even better, more fun to be had.”
Hei Lang was not the least bit afraid; he charged once more, and the men couldn’t even see his movements clearly.
They felt as if their arms were about to be snapped off.
Soon, a pained groan resonated.
Afterward, two daggers clattered to the ground.
The other two men, seeing the situation was bad, knew that if things continued this way, they too would end up on the ground.
They advanced and hastily dragged their two companions to the side.
“People, come quickly.”
The man who claimed to be Mr. Jin, sensing trouble, shouted loudly for help from outside.
Soon, a group of goons rushed in.
All of a sudden, the room was packed with people; Lin Yi carefully looked around and estimated there were about twenty.
The leader was a slender man who, judging by his appearance, probably had some martial arts skills.
He sized up Hei Lang and then approached him.
“May I ask which Sect does the gentleman come from?”
“The Xiaoyao Sect of Mount Lushan.”
After Hei Lang announced his affiliation, the listener hurriedly stepped back.
“May I ask which lineage you are a disciple of?”
“Heh, I’m but a humble disciple under the Fairy of the Xiaoyao Sect.”
“What did you say, you’re a disciple of True Person Luyao?”
“That’s right, it’s me.”
“What are you all waiting for, attack already.”
Originally, the young man had brought these goons in to deal with this problem; but, after hearing him reveal his Sect and master, he could barely contain himself.
“My apologies for the offense.”
The leading man simply clasped his fists and bowed, then with a gesture to Hei Lang, quickly walked past to the middle-aged man’s side.
Hei Lang merely looked at him with a sense of self-satisfaction.
Because, as long as he announced his own name, these people would generally be somewhat fearful.
Of course, if he could know all this, that would prove he too was a figure in the Jianghu, and moreover, his sect would likely have substantial deterrent power.
“What’s the situation?”
He slightly frowned, and then spoke to the man.
“The Xiaoyao Sect from Mount Luyao is not something we can provoke, and he is a disciple of True Person Luyao. With my ability, I simply cannot deal with him.”
“You, what are you saying? Even you can’t deal with him, then, what about the others?”
“The others, let’s not even mention them. Even if we bound ourselves together, I’m afraid we’d still be no match for him. Young master, it’s best to think thrice before acting, otherwise, we might suffer a heavy loss.”
“Is what you’re saying really true?”
“Yes, it’s true beyond a doubt. Just now, the moves he showed, I could tell, definitely come from the Xiaoyao Sect. Even though our sect is at odds with his, in terms of status, I am three times his junior. According to the ranks within our teacher’s lineage, I should respectfully call him ‘Grandmaster’.”
“Is it really that serious?”
“Yes, it’s that serious. So, it’s best not to let him make a move again; otherwise, we will be the ones to suffer.”
“Then, what should we do now?”
“The best approach now is to stabilize them temporarily and try not to let them make a move. Otherwise, in the end, we will surely be at a great disadvantage.”
“Alright, I understand. Take our men and hurry out, but still, take precautions before it’s too late. Set a watch at the entrance and then reveal all our mechanisms one by one.”
“Rest assured, I’ll arrange everything outside.”
“Good, then you may withdraw.”
After he finished speaking, he nodded and finally gave the order for the men to leave the room.
Lin Yi just felt something was strange.
Hei Lang hadn’t even made a move, so how had he managed to retreat these people so quickly?
Could it be that the name Hei Lang had just revealed really held such great power over them?
Lin Yi couldn’t help but start to feel excited.
If that was the case, it seemed the following matters would turn out to be smoother and even simpler.
“Hehe, young brother.”
His demeanor changed, and a smile appeared on his face once again.
“What, is there something you want to say?”
“I think, since a visitor has come to our door, such an inhospitable welcome is not how I, Jin Ye, usually conduct myself.”
“Hehe, no need to keep calling yourself Jin Ye. Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, you are not Jin Ye at all, so let’s not waste time here. Hurry up and bring out the real Jin Ye, shall we?”
“Whether I’m Jin Ye or not, you will naturally come to understand later. But right now, there’s one thing I’m focused on.”
“Oh, please, feel free to speak.”
“Since you have taken the initiative to come to us, I advise you to restrain yourself a bit. Moreover, I’m giving you a little face right now, so it’s best if your men refrain from acting rashly. In a moment, I will give you a clear response.”
“Alright, no problem. As long as you guys are respectful and courteous to us, my people will definitely not cause trouble.”
“Good, then you all wait here and rest for a bit, I will be right back.”
After speaking, he instructed the people by his side briefly, and afterwards, two people swiftly accompanied her as they departed from the scene.
What do you think?
