Chapter 152: Chapter 153 - Starting with Soul Land, One Trial Card a Day

Lin Yaodong was about to leave when he heard what the leader of the Xuanming Sect said, so he stopped in his hurry.

The Xuanming Sect, Tongwen Hall, and Illusory Sound Workshop are the three major Jianghu organizations in the Central Plains, each affiliated with the Great Liang, Jin Kingdom, and Qi Kingdom, respectively. Their strength should be roughly equal. The Xuanming Sect has already given me quite a surprise, so the other two must be no less formidable.

After thinking about it for a moment, Lin Yaodong decided to go and have some fun first.

"Lead the way."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Xuanming Sect almost burst out laughing. "Don't blame me, this person is the one causing trouble for you, not us from the Xuanming Sect Xuanming Sect. It has absolutely nothing to do with us, hahaha~"

"Alright, sir, please follow me."

Before long, the leader of the Xuanming Sect brought Lin Yaodong to the dark side of the Illusory Sound Workshop.

"Reporting to the leader, something terrible has happened! The Xuanming Sect has surrounded our Hundred Flowers Pavilion!"

A beautiful woman was immediately shocked. "What? How dare they be so brazen? Aren't they afraid that our Illusory Sound Workshop will wipe out their secret base in the Qi Kingdom as well?"

The beautiful woman paced back and forth, then said to her maid, "Try to stall them for now, I'll go shortly."

~~~

"Sir, you all look so fierce, you've frightened our young lady. Lord Liu, what's going on? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Seeing that the Xuanming Sect members, all wearing fierce-looking iron masks, had surrounded the Yichun Courtyard, the madam immediately stepped forward to laugh it off.

The leader gave a wicked smile, casually putting his arm around two girls. Judging from their technique and skill, they were definitely regular customers who frequented this place often.

"Madam Wang, we're not here for fun today; we have important business to attend to. Please bring out your most beautiful courtesan, the girl in Ziyi. We have distinguished guests today."

Madam Wang Ma said with some difficulty, "Oh dear, Lord Liu, so many sisters are still here. How heartbroken these girls will be if you say that?"

The two beautiful women beside Branch Master Liu chimed in, "Lord Liu, what have we sisters done wrong? You're such a heartless man, forgetting us old flames now that you have a new love."

"That's right, Lord Liu is quite the womanizer."

The two beauties then began to pant and whine to Branch Master Liu.

Branch Master Liu: Oh dear, these two vixens are getting more and more dangerous. If it weren't for important business to attend to today, I would have stayed here all night.

Branch Master Liu successfully appeased the beauty, and then proceeded to threaten the madam.

"Madam Wang, isn't the girl in Ziyi coming out yet? Does she really think we brothers are here for pleasure?"

Branch Master Liu slammed the wine jug he was holding to the ground, and at the same time, the Xuanming Sect members drew their machetes. In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire Yichun Courtyard became tense and murderous. The other guests who came to play also stopped what they were doing and looked nervously at the Xuanming Sect members.
