Chapter 124: Demon Slayer

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the afternoon, in the Wulong Inn in Phoenix Ridge City.

'Why is there a Wulong Inn here as well?! I feel like this shop is everywhere…'

Zhou Chen felt that this Wulong Inn seemed to exist in every city. In this Phoenix Ridge City that was harassed by demons, it was even the only inn that opened for business, making his thoughts of experiencing a new inn fall flat.

Earlier, Zhou Chen and the young man had gone to the office of the Tyrant Fist Sect in Phoenix Ridge City to register their identity as demon slayers. In the following days, every demon head they handed over could be exchanged for ten silver ingots.

As for the location of the demons, they had already learned that no demons had attacked Phoenix Ridge City recently. If they wanted to hunt the demons, they had to leave the city and search the nearby mountains.

Considering that it was getting late and that they were exhausted from rushing all the way here, the two of them decided to wait until tomorrow morning before entering the mountain.

At this moment, the two of them were eating roasted chicken and drinking wine in the inn.

“Both of you are warriors who have come to kill demons, right?”

The two of them had just started eating when a fat and fair-skinned youth holding a fan approached them.

“Yes.”

The young man immediately turned and nodded.

“Then you might have come a little late. It's becoming more and more difficult to earn money from killing demons.”

The fat youth patted his hand with the fan and sighed.

“What do you mean?” The young man expressed his doubt.

“Those demons have learned their lesson. They are nowhere near Phoenix Ridge City. If you want to kill them, you will have to enter the mountain to search for them. However, the terrain in this mountain is rugged and complicated. Many warriors were unable to find the demons after entering the mountain and instead lost their way. Some even went missing. They might have fallen into the trap set by those demons.”

The fat youth spoke nonstop.

“Hehe, brother, are you a local guide?” The young man smiled at him.

“No.” The fat youth shook his head to deny it.

“I'm the same as you. I'm a warrior who came to earn money. As for a local guide, you won't be able to find one now because almost all the natives here have fled. There are only a few working at the mine.”

“Is that so… Looks like the demons have caused quite a lot of trouble here.”

The young man had already seen the bleak scene of Phoenix Ridge City. There were not many people on the street. He could not help but touch his chin and sigh.

“Brothers, as the saying goes, many hands make light work. If you don't mind, can you let me accompany you to the mountains to kill the demons? This way, we can look after each other.”

The fat youth finally said the main point.

“As for the distribution of the rewards for killing the demons, we will split the group kills evenly, while the individual kills will belong to the individual.”

He added.

“Sure.”

The young man nodded and agreed. Zhou Chen, who had been quietly listening, also expressed his agreement.

The reason why he agreed to team up instead of doing it alone was because he wanted to figure out the situation in the mountain first. It was more reliable to do this in a group. It would not be too late to leave the team and hunt alone after he figured out the situation.

“Then it's settled.”

A smile appeared on the fat youth's face when he saw that he had succeeded in finding teammates. He patted his hand with the fan.

At this moment, a burly man that looked like an iron tower walked in from the entrance of the inn behind them. This man was nearly two meters tall and was muscular. His skin was dark, and he had a thick beard. He looked fierce and powerful.

However, his burly body was dressed in rags with many long and narrow wounds and blood stains. He looked like he had experienced a fierce battle not long ago.

“Iron Bull, where are Old Li and the rest?” The fat youth asked when he saw the muscular man.

The man replied in a low voice. “I don't know… we were ambushed by demons in the mountain and were separated.”

He walked to an empty table and sat down. He called the waiter to bring a lot of wine and meat.

“How are your gains today?”

The fat youth did not leave him alone when he saw him start eating.

“Just one.” The burly man who was eating said succinctly.

“That's not bad. Ten silver ingots is enough to live for three months even in a large city.” The fat youth comforted.

However, the burly man ignored him and focused on the drinks and food.

At this moment, two men walked in.

One was old and the other was young. The old man was about 50 years old. He was dressed in fine quality clothes. His eyes were bright and his footsteps were agile. The young man looked to be about 14 or 15 years old. Although he was young, he was wearing embroidered clothes and had a noble aura.

“Young Master, please return with me. Don't be angry with Master. Master is doing it for your sake.”

The old man, who seemed to have extraordinary proficiency in martial arts, was following behind the young man and persuading him earnestly.

“How many times have I said it! I won't go back!”

However, the young man did not appreciate it.

“I want to prove to that old man that I can live well without him!”

He turned around and glared at the old man. “You're not allowed to follow me into the mountains from now on! You made me unable to focus on killing demons!”

However, the old man smiled and shook his head.

“Young Master, forgive me for not being able to follow your orders, because protecting you is the most important task Master has given me.”

“Hmph! Do I need your protection? You better disappear immediately!”

The young master snorted in displeasure and walked into the inn.

“That's the third young master of the Luo Clan of Qingcheng City. I heard that he had a fight with his family and came here.”

Seeing Zhou Chen and the young man glance at the old man, the fat youth introduced them.

“Luo Clan of Qingcheng City? Could it be that Luo Clan?” The young man was surprised.

“Yes, it's that Luo Clan. They're the most famous martial arts family in Qingcheng. Two Martial Dao Grandmasters had been born in their clan!”

“I didn't expect a noble from such a grand clan to come to this small city. The world is really unpredictable.” The young man sighed.

“Do you know the identity of that swordsman over there?”

Zhou Chen saw that the fat youth seemed to be very familiar with the people here, so he asked him about the identity of the sword-wielding young man who was drinking alone in the corner of the inn.

The reason why he was interested in this young man was that he could sense a strange energy in this young man's blood through the Bloodthirst passive skill. It was likely that the swordsman had learned a good cultivation technique, and could become his reserve cultivation technique supplier.

“That person, I'm not too sure. He should be a disciple of a sword sect.. He seems to be a lone wolf and has been acting alone.”
