I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 93 - 67: Sending Letters to Yunluan—Three Halls, Seven Branches, Subduing Without Arms, Will Song Chai Xin Yield?

[In Black Mountain City, you killed the Military Commander Liang Longwei with your fists, appointed the Outer City Department Head 'Chen Zhao' as the new Eighth Rank Military Commander, overseeing the three hundred martial soldiers of the Inner City.]

[Henceforth, the entire Inner City government system is under your control.]

[With swift actions, you eliminated one of the three unstable elements in Black Mountain City, but among the government office, martial artists, and demons, the Military Commander Liang Longwei was only a seemingly powerful force.]

[In the Inner City's East District 'Martial Arts Street', the three major martial arts halls are all authentic branches, with pilots who are experts in the Carefree Realm, and the remaining smaller factions have prestigious backers.]

[They establish sects and charge silver coins, with the inheritance within their doors not to be underestimated, even the Guardian and the Commander don't get any face.]

[Regarding the demon matters outside the city, they might be involved, or they might not.]

[But in any case, for you, no unstable or dissenting factors are allowed in the areas you govern.]

[They can develop in Black Mountain City.]

[But first and foremost...]

[They must submit to you and pay taxes!]

...

Black Mountain City is divided between the inner and outer areas, almost as if separated by mountains.

But to speak of 'Martial Arts Street', within a long alley that connects in all directions, the imposing and grand martial arts halls, factions, and large mansions...

are distinctly different from other areas.

In terms of vastness of area,

the Inner City covers only twenty to thirty percent of the area of the Outer City.

And 'Martial Arts Street' is but an alley on the east side of the Inner City.

But even so, this small alley running from south to north,

hosts three authentic martial arts halls and seven prestigious factions, each establishing branches here.

Almost every pilot of the halls is a 'Great Innate' level expert, with subordinates full of vitality, capable of tearing apart tigers and leopards, and those who enter the gates at a minimum have Foundation Establishment level Golden Flesh and Jade Veins, or Mercury Blood Silver Marrow cultivation.

To be eligible to join, at the very least, one must be from a family with resources in the Outer City, wealthy merchants, or years of family heritage to qualify for true inheritance from within.

As they say, 'the poor study literature while the rich study martial arts.'

This unwritten rule is vividly played out here.

They are the true 'nobles' of Black Mountain.

Even the constables of the government office and the martial soldiers of the Military Department, who are on the payroll, have to step aside when coming here.

Because the government office has no control over Jianghu!

Even if an authentic private demon is concealed, determined with solid evidence by the Demon Hunting Department, and the Demon Hunter General personally visits to inquire, it must go through a province elder or Martial World leader to make an arrest!

This morning as the sun rose,

a constable in cyan robe from the Inner City took a gulp and knocked on the doors of each of the ten named martial arts halls and factions, all of which are at least of prestigious level...

delivering an invitation.

The three 'authentic' martial arts halls seemed to have already known about the matter and calmly accepted this 'special' invitation.

But the remaining prestigious factions were one by one agitated, nearly beating the messenger Zheng Zizhen to a pulp.

However, afterwards,

they were each stopped by the experts of their own martial arts halls.

Because the commotion caused by the Inner and Outer City Military Department today was quite significant.

By now, news had reached Martial Arts Street, making these ordinarily 'sitting halls' of great martial artists in Black Mountain clearly realize,

what exactly this new Guardian self-proclaimed 'Song Chai Xin' intends to do!

Meanwhile,

a letter entrusted by Song Chai Xin was taken out by Ruan Xiuxiu with a special 'Jade Talisman' and sent back to the sect, quite lavishly.

Another letter was hastily dispatched across eight hundred miles on a sturdy steed by a servant of Xie Qiaoke to rush to Xie Mansion.

...

Shao Yang Martial Arts Hall, Xuandu Martial Arts Hall, Sword Spine Martial Arts Hall.

These are the only three in Black Mountain City established by high-level families with legacies of dominance, created as branches of their inheritance.

One 'invitation' stirred up waves upon waves.

The Museum Director of Sword Spine Martial Arts Hall, Ning Changfeng, returned silently, hands behind his back, from the City Military Department, and as soon as he stepped to the threshold, he was surrounded by disciples inquiring about the matters of 'seeking justice.'

Before he could respond,

he heard that...

the entire 'Martial Arts Street,' all ten authentic and prestigious branches, without exception, received an invitation from the new Guardian Lord.

No matter the realm, only judging by fists and feet, or swordplay to determine rank.

Upon hearing this, Ning Changfeng crumpled the invitation into waste paper, tightly clutching it in his hand, his face twitching:

"Truly young and reckless, acting with utter disregard."

"Relying on youth, truly not leaving even a shred of face for these people?"

"Even a strong dragon has difficulty suppressing a local snake!"

Recalling those nearly manifested 'Martial Arts Celestial Form' fist techniques.

Even from afar, just observing gave Ning Changfeng heartache.

With this level of martial prowess of the new Guardian, comparing the celestial prides from the entire 'Martial Arts Street,' all of them nearly tied together, they may not even equal him.

This means his invitation is aimed at these renowned figures in Black Mountain.

Killing the Military Commander Liang Longwei, and Duan Family's Duan Nantian.

This youngster used accusations of 'colluding with demons.'

According to the rules, wielding the power of a Guardian to enforce so forcefully is truly without issue.

Now, on their street, this law does not apply.

So...

He uses 'judging fists and martial arts,' only comparing skills, still presenting the invitation as a 'martial artist' according to the rules.

This is not faulty.

But the crux of the issue is,

even if these old folks go up against him, comparing only sword moves, fists, and blade techniques, they might not even...

beat him!
