Chapter 12: A Robin Hood Story

Opportunity and risk had arisen simultaneously. Most people would have seen this situation as a

blessing. Zhou Yi was not like most people. King was obviously up to no good. Ordinary people were

willing to take risks to gain divine skills. Learn a supreme divine technique, advance to the Connate

realm in ten years, and become a grandmaster.

“This plot feels vaguely familiar?”

Zhou Yi shrugged. He was not the son of an expert, and his ancestors did not have a deep grudge

waiting to be avenged. Compared to the protagonist of fate, he was more like a little villain who tortured

criminals to earn money.

“Therefore, I’m already satisfied with learning the secret voice transmission technique!”

Zhou Yi carried the bucket into cell A-2. The layout of the cell was similar. Heavenly King Huang was

chained to the torture rack, his hair disheveled, his Daoist robe stained with black and red blood. His

arms were twisted like noodles, breaking countless bones. All ten fingers were cut off, leaving only his

bare palm.

“Heavenly King, it’s time to eat.”

Zhou Yi used the voice transmission secret technique. The Black Armour Guard guarding the door did

not react.

Heavenly King Huang was slightly stunned. He continued to eat as if nothing had happened. Then he

asked, “Who are you? Are you here to save me?”

“No.” Zhou Yi’s mind raced as he replied, “I’m just hoping you ascend to heaven soon!”

“I should have known that those aristocratic families were fence sitters. They go whichever way the

wind takes them,” Heavenly King Huang mumbled to himself.

Zhou Yi frowned slightly and did not continue bluffing. After delivering the food, he went to look for

Warden Zheng and said that he had caught a cold and wanted to take a month or two off.

“You’re living like an old turtle!”

Warden Zheng waved his hand and did not make things difficult for Zhou Yi.

…

Spring Breeze Tower. Singing and dancing, red sleeves waving. All seats were already full before

evening. Today was the day to select the Flower Queen.

The brothel pushed out ten or twenty courtesans who took turns to showcase their talents. There they

played the zither, played chess, danced, did calligraphy, and recited poetry. One by one, the

contestants were eliminated until just one courtesan remained. This contest was much more profitable

for the courtesans than a typical day at the brothel. The rich magnates did not even blink as they threw

out money and sang countless songs.

“Miss Nongyu, your zither skills are unparalleled! Take this!”

This fat man had ten jade rings on his hands. He waved his hand and scattered a stack of banknotes.

“The poem made by Lady Lianxiang has spread throughout the Divine Capital. It is better than most

high scholars. It should be number one!”

The one who spoke was a scholar. He couldn’t throw out money like the fatty, so he called his friends to

come and support him. It was quite a commotion.

“What kind of bullshit poem is that? I’ve heard people say a woman’s lover paid for it from outside.”

“Don’t slander others’ reputation. My father is the magistrate of the capital. If you dare to slander him

again, he’ll arrest you!”

“How dare you be so arrogant? I’m at the Marquis of the Jiayuan Residence. Come and catch me!”

“Such vulgar talk!”

“Trash!”

…

The Divine Capital was the capital of Fengyang Kingdom. Throw a brick and you could hit a sixth-rate

official. A mere magistrate was really nothing. However, once they started scolding a noble, there

would immediately be scholars supporting them. For a moment, the crowd was in a frenzy.

The procuress saw that the argument was intensifying and couldn’t keep her eyes open from laughter.

Nothing big could happen at the feet of the emperor. Everyone would control their tongues. In the end,

the outcome would be decided by the election of the Flower Queen.

If the fighting went on like this, the courtesans would earn at least tens of thousands of taels of silver!

In a private room on the second floor.

There were no walls on the side facing the stage downstairs. One could clearly see the performance of

the courtesans. When the occupants were tired, they could also lower the brocade curtains to drink tea

and discuss the Dao with the girls.

Zhou Yi was half lying on the soft couch with women on his left and right. Someone poured wine and

picked up food. From time to time, he would tell a joke he had heard in his previous life. It was easy to

make the girls laugh. Then he told a tragic love story. The girls burst into tears.

“Now this is life!”

Zhou Yi cuddled Yu Yixiang, feeling very happy.

After applying for paid sick leave from the Sky Prison, Zhou Yi removed his elderly disguise and

embraced his young and handsome appearance. He stayed at Spring Breeze Tower for more than half

a month.

Changing one’s appearance to age was easy, but aging was extremely difficult.

Zhou Yi was affected by his longevity. After he became an adult, he would not grow anymore. Zhou Yi

only needed to change his skin color, face, and voice slightly. Even if Zhang Zhou was reborn, he

would not recognize him.

The other prison guards rarely remembered Zhou Yi when he was young.

“I’m like a ghost, an immortal ghost, wandering the mundane world!” Zhou Yi swirled his wine glass and

muttered, “The empire and the royal family, the civil officials or generals, the geniuses of our

generation, the power of the dynasty, and even the wilderness are all fleeting!”

Heavenly King Huang colluded with the Southern clans. Sky Prison had already become a gunpowder

barrel. Zhou Yi would wait til the storm had passed to return.

Crash!

A loud bang was followed by a woman’s scream, interrupting Zhou Yi’s thoughts.

“I have plenty of money. I can sleep with whoever I want. Who do you think I am?”

The man who spoke was short and fat, but his strength was surprisingly strong. He smashed the table

with his palm and grasped the old woman’s neck as he berated him.

“Ach, ach, ach…” The procuress couldn’t speak. She felt as if her neck were about to break.

“Where did this country bumpkin come from? How dare you cause trouble at Spring Breeze Tower!”

Before he finished speaking, a figure had already arrived and was holding a shining blade to the man’s

neck without any intention of holding back.

“We are the twin heroes of Mobei, not bumpkins.”

The short, fat man dropped the old mistress who ran the brothel, and his body went bouncing off the

ground like a rubber ball. He spun in the air and narrowly avoided the blade, colliding with the

swordsman.

Bang! Bang!

The blademaster hit the wall and slid slowly down. He spat out a few mouthfuls of blood mixed with bits

of internal organs. He twitched twice and fell silent.

The procuress was so scared that her face was pale and she was trembling. That swordsman was a

consecrator of a behind-the-scenes boss. He was a person with steel bones, but he couldn’t even last

one round. She didn’t dare to say anything else.

“Nongyu, come and serve this master!”

“Hahahaha!” The short and fat man laughed heartily. He grabbed Nongyu’s lapel and took her away

with a few leaps.

The staff at Spring Breeze Restaurant skillfully carried away the swordsman’s corpse, washed away

the blood, and replaced the broken tables and chairs with new ones. It was as if nothing had happened.

A moment later.

The guests resumed their bustle as the music and dancing started up again.

“How many first-rate masters has that been?”

Zhou Yi had hung out at Spring Breeze Tower and met several first-rate experts in half a month. Among

them, there were some whose depths could not be seen. It was very likely that they were top experts at

the Marrow Cleansing realm.

The brothel and wine shop were the most well-informed. The day after the king was imprisoned, people

started discussing.

Fifteen years ago, the Heavenly King was just an ordinary disciple of the Dajiang Gang. His martial arts

talent was average.

When escorting goods on the ship, he accidentally obtained a divine technique inheritance in the river

and broke through to the Connate realm in just ten years. If not for the fact that he met the Grand

Marshal, Li Wu, no one in Fengyang Kingdom could control him. At the very least, he could stabilize

half of the country!

The rumors spread extremely quickly. Clearly, someone had added fuel to the fire.

The people of the martial arts world were not interested in rebelling and calling themselves kings, but

they could not resist the temptation of divine techniques. All the experts of Fengyang Kingdom

gathered in the Divine Capital.

“The aristocratic families should all be executed!”

Zhou Yi shook his head slightly and opened his mouth to eat the grapes that the girl had peeled.

…

It was night. The moon and stars were dark and cloudy.

The Dali Temple suddenly caught fire and instantly spread to dozens of pavilions. The flames soared

into the sky and burned the sky dark red. The patrolling guards were helpless.

There were many important files in the Dali Temple. The Deputy Minister of the Dali Temple

immediately ordered the Imperial Guard of the Sky Prison to assist. The Sky Prison was close to the

Dali Temple. After the commander of the Imperial Guard received the order, he immediately sent troops

to put out the fire.

Not long after the imperial guards left, dozens of figures appeared outside the Sky Prison. They were

tall, short, fat, thin, and all looked strange. How can a monk be compassionate and clear-cut?

The gate of the Heavenly Prison was made of steel, and the four walls were ten feet thick. Even

Connate masters could not blast it open.

“When will the doors open?”

“Half an hour to go.”

“Hehehe, Bighead, didn’t you say only a fool would come?”

“You two are idiots!”

“A cave of ghosts. When this is over, I’ll send you to hell.”

…

They were still talking when they heard a loud crash up ahead.

Boom!

The cell door collapsed. It wasn’t that the steel gate was broken, but that gunpowder had blown

through the door jamb from the inside. The prison guards looked confused. The Black Armor Guard

had already begun to get into formation.

“Kill!”

A long whistle sounded as dozens of figures rushed through the prison gate as fast as lightning.

“How dare you! Sky Prison is sacred ground. Whoever attacks it will be killed…”

Before the commander of the Black Armor Army could finish speaking, a flying spear pierced through

his armor and shattered his heart.

Hundreds of Black Armor Guard soldiers mounted their warhorses and launched a charge. However,

the battle became a one-sided massacre. Moreover, there was more than one top expert in the

attacking forces.

“Haha… Kill to your heart’s content!”

The short and fat man’s weapons were two bronze hammers. The heads of the hammers were the size

of human heads. They rushed through the gate and smashed around. The prison guard was injured

just coming near them, and was killed if they tried to engage. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty

people died under the hammers.

The one wearing red and white ones was covered in hammers. He stuck out his tongue and licked

them. He became even crazier when he killed.

The fat, short man was the first to reach cell A-1. He raised his hammer and smashed the cell bars.

“I’m here to save you!”

“The two black bears of Mobei…”

Heavenly King Cang slowly raised his head. Under his shaggy hair was a handsome face.

“You’re Heavenly King Cang?

The short and fat man had never seen the Heavenly King, but he had heard that the leader of the

martial arts world in Jiangnan was a wrinkled old man. Suddenly, his heart trembled, and his eyes were

filled with shock. He trembled and said, “You’re the God of Slaughter, Li Wu!”

“You’re not completely stupid, you black bear.” Li Wu shook gently, and the chains binding his limbs

opened on their own.

“I don’t care who you are, you’re all going to die!” The stocky man’s words were ruthless. The two This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

bronze hammers flew out of his hands, but he turned around and ran like a rolling ball.

“I hear you like to watch dogs eat people. General Japan will find hounds tomorrow and see how many

you can feed.”

Li Wu’s figure flashed and instantly appeared behind the short and fat man. With a flick of his finger,

invisible energy shattered his limbs and gently brushed past, sealing the acupoints all over his body

with True Connate Qi.

The experts outside the cell looked at Li Wu as if they had seen a ghost.

“Retreat!”

“It’s a trap!”

However, it was too late. Li Wu passed by them and fell to the ground.

“Li Wu, you’re so ruthless!”

The person who spoke had white hair and a green Daoist robe that fluttered without wind. He was an

expert in the Dao Sect who cultivated inner qi.

Li Wu said slowly, “From today onwards, all the true disciples and lay disciples of Jiangnan Tianyi

Temple and Jinguang Temple will be charged with treason!”

“Amitabha!” The monk held a shovel in his hand. Golden inner Qi seeped out of his body, making him

look like a Vajra.

“We can’t escape. Let’s attack together!”

The two ghost-like hands were as black as ink, emitting a foul-smelling poisonous gas as he shuttled

through the cell like a phantom.

“Everyone below the Connate realm is an ant!”

A green sword suddenly appeared in Li Wu’s hand. Under the urging of his Connate True Qi, it nimbly

spun in the air and cut the ghostly figure in half. The Daoist monk died under the flying sword after a

few moves!

The remaining experts no longer had the heart to resist. They abandoned their weapons and knelt

down to beg for mercy…
