My Sword Intent Can Be Infinitely Improved

Chapter 44: The Various Sects

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

In the restaurant at the entrance of the Patrol Department. Su Yang, Sun Tianpeng, and Ye Jiang sat around a table.

As Su Yang had speculated, Ye Jiang and Sun Tianpeng’s relationship was actually not bad, but… They had been enemies since they were young.

One has strong martial arts but lacks agility. The other has excellent agility but lacks martial arts. Under the bickering, no one was convinced by the other.

But their relationship… It was really not bad.

In the past few days, every time Ye Jiang came back, he would drag the two of them to drink and eat. At the same time, they would talk about the grievances of the people in the cities under his management.

After a while, they became familiar with each other.

Although Sun Tianpeng was frivolous, he was a good person. His frivolous attitude was basically directed at Ye Jiang or those who made him unhappy. It was normal for him to interact with others.

In the past few days, they had been discussing how to address the grievances of the people and put an end to the oppression inflicted by certain influential families.

Su Yang simply said, “If they don’t listen, we fight them. If we can’t defeat them, we eliminate them.”

The two of them admired Su Yang’s actions, but they did not agree. Even the frivolous Sun Tianpeng did not dare to act like Su Yang.

He might be bold, but he wasn’t foolish. Offending so many people, how could he continue to survive? How could his family continue to thrive?

After chatting for a few days without any results, they changed the topic today.

They discussed how many disciples from various sects had gathered in Tianfeng Prefecture.

“In that case, the disciples of the various sects are gathering in Tianfeng Prefecture for resources?” After some understanding, Su Yang spoke softly.

“Not entirely,” Sun Tianpeng explained, “Some are here for reputation, for experience.”

“When it comes to reputation, it’s self-explanatory. After practicing for more than ten years, it’s not just for one’s own benefit. People want to establish a name for themselves and have an impressive title to share when they gather with other martial artists.”

“Otherwise, when a group of martial artists gather and everyone has a resounding title, it shows what great things they have done, who they have defeated. When it’s their turn and no one recognizes their name, it’s quite embarrassing.”

“At the same time, experience is also important. Just like me and that guy, entering the Patrol Inspectorate is also for gaining experience.”

“At this stage of cultivation, it’s useless to keep cultivating in seclusion. You must have actual combat and constantly fight. Only after you have new insights can you cultivate in seclusion to make progress.”

Sun Tianpeng also explained the reason in a few sentences.

Su Yang nodded in agreement. After all, isn’t wandering the martial world all about establishing a name for oneself?

As for cultivation… he didn’t feel much about it. His swordsmanship had no bottlenecks.

“Recently, Tianfeng Prefecture has become more and more restless.” Ye Jiang raised his cup and took a sip. “The evil cultivators keep appearing to cause trouble. We don’t even know how many evil cultivators have gathered in the entire Tianfeng Prefecture.”

“The current situation…There were already signs of what had happened in Bamboo Willow Prefecture twelve years ago.”

“I originally thought that the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect had been completely wiped out. I didn’t expect that it would make a comeback twelve years later.”

“The higher-ups have already issued an order for Tianfeng Prefecture to closely monitor the situation. If they discover the evil cultivators, they will deal with them immediately. At the same time, they will issue a martial arts world order.”

“It is also because of the issuing of the martial world order that these martial world sects gathered in Tianfeng Prefecture.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yang couldn’t help but wonder, “Are there many evil cultivators in Tianfeng Prefecture now? Why haven’t I heard about it?”

Ye Jiang explained, “It’s not something that’s openly announced. Brother Su, you might not have the habit of paying attention to cases. Many villages in Tianfeng Prefecture have been attacked. Not a single one of them was left. This kind of situation is quite common. In this kind of situation, you should have noticed that something was wrong long ago.”

“However, the Martial Suppression Division is already corrupt. They can even ignore such a big case. It’s really infuriating.”

As he spoke, Ye Jiang became somewhat angry.

“After the last time the evil cultivators were discovered in Yonghe City, these cases were dug up again. They were probably done by evil cultivators.”

After hearing this, Su Yang immediately thought about whether similar cases had occurred within the territories he managed. If they did, then there might also be evil cultivators among them.

It was actually quite easy for him to discover the cultivators of the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect. After all, the evil cultivators had a title in front of them. Unless there were evil cultivators who hadn’t killed ordinary people, he might not be able to detect them.

Once the half-month given to those commanding officers in Martial Suppression Division was over, he would thoroughly investigate.

“Oh right, since many of these martial artists are here for the Martial Suppression Division’s contribution points.” Su Yang said, “What do you think if I spread the word that I’m willing to pay a higher price for live evil cultivators?”

Su Yang suddenly remembered that he still had 30,000 merit points in his hand that he had not spent. He originally planned to exchange for the materials for the Five Poison Body Tempering Medicinal Bath recipe later, but now that there was a new use in front of him, he could consider it.

“Well…” Ye Jiang didn’t understand, “It’s possible… but the price would definitely have to exceed what the Martial Suppression Division.”

“That’s not a problem.” Su Yang understood that those who died in the Martial Suppression Division could be exchanged for merit points, so it would be more difficult to obtain live ones, and the price would naturally increase.

Su Yang immediately decided to study this matter. Exchanging some merit points for the heads of evil cultivators wouldn’t be a loss.

“Brother Su, even if you hate the evil cultivators, there’s no need to do this, right? What’s the point of using your own merit points to offer a reward for their capture?” Sun Tianpeng couldn’t stand it anymore and said it was inappropriate.

In his opinion, Su Yang was doing this to vent his anger. It was completely unnecessary.

“You don’t understand.” Su Yang shook his head.

Su Yang could not explain, so he could only pretend to be deep.

Seeing this, Sun Tianpeng and the other didn’t say anything else.

Everyone has their own way of living. Friends can offer advice, but they shouldn’t overstep their boundaries.

“Come. Let’s drink.” Sun Tianpeng raised his cup and changed the topic. They drank, enjoying the food and drink, and ended their gathering for the day.

After leaving the restaurant, Su Yang went to the fruit stall of an old man, as usual, and bought some mountain fruits. It had to be said that the mountain fruits of this era were really sweet.

“Sir, please take it.” The old man smiled and handed over the mountain fruits, stuffing a few more as usual.

Su Yang returned to his courtyard and continued to swing his sword.

With the help of his tipsiness, Su Yang’s movements were a little more relaxed than before, and he was no longer as stiff.

“Sword Intent +1… Sword Intent +1…Sword Intent +1…

In the city, a tavern was filled with martial arts heroes.

In addition to disciples from major sects, there were also scattered cultivators and disciples from small sects, all gathered due to the martial world decree.

With more people, they naturally talked more. It was natural that there would be some boasting, talking about how amazing they were and how formidable their sects were.

If they were boasting in private, it wouldn’t cause trouble. But in this restaurant, where disciples from various factions gathered, some of the words spoken were already inappropriate.

“Clap!”

In the lobby of the restaurant, a group of burly men stood up and looked at the group of sword-wielding martial artists.

“You all say that we external cultivators are like fools, barbarians, easily played with. I am a disciple of the Iron Body Sect, Lu Lei, and I would like you all to teach me.”

Lu Lei was 1.9 meters tall, and his body was extremely sturdy. When he stood up, he was like a wall, giving off an oppressive feeling. His companions were the same.

With his words, he had already surrounded the opposing group with his four junior brothers.

In the guest hall of the restaurant, the onlookers from the martial world all turned their attention to this area, feeling satisfied. While drinking, they could even watch a good show.

“So what? I am a disciple of the Fire Sword Sect. Zhang Chufeng, are you sure you want to fight me?” Zhang Chufeng looked at Lu Lei mockingly.

The Iron Body Sect was just a small sect. How could it compare to the Fire Sword Sect?

Just the difference in sect was enough to suppress the other party in terms of aura.

Don’t believe it? Look at the martial world guests around, which one of them still favored Lu Lei?

They all felt that this matter had to end here. There was no good show to watch.

This is what the martial world is. It encompasses many things.

Reputation, interests, loyalty, face….
