I'll Help Your Sect Teach Them a Lesson

A man dressed in a blue robe stood in the middle of the crowd, appearing gentle and refined with no apparent threat.

But it was precisely this kind of person who could terrify the usually domineering disciples of the Mara Gate.

The disciple wearing the jade pendant swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you perhaps Jimo Qing from the Jimo Household of Spirit Prefecture?"

The man smiled and said, "Exactly."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, the Mara Gate disciple who had asked the question paled even further.

"Spirit Prefecture Blood Rain Jimo Qing" was originally famous for his superb sword-making skills. At first, the outside world thought that this young master only had some talent in sword-making and business, so it was not uncommon for the Jimo Household to have enemies who set their sights on him.

However, there were some fools who dared to provoke the tiger, and they even colluded with some powerful forces, trying to use Jimo Qing to threaten the Jimo Household.

However, the plan ultimately failed, or rather, it only succeeded halfway.

When the Jimo Household discovered that their eldest son was missing, they sent clansmen to rescue him. When they found Ji Jimo Qing, they discovered that Jimo Qing was unharmed, but all those who had kidnapped him had perished.

It just so happened that it rained that night, and the blood of those people mixed with the rainwater and flowed out, staining the blue brick road in the alley outside red.

Some people who were unaware of the situation went out early in the morning and saw that the ground was covered in blood-red stains, and thought that it had rained blood the night before.

Therefore, Jimo Qing earned the ominous name of "Spirit Prefecture Blood Rain".

Although this incident happened a long time ago, many people still remember it. The elders of the various sects would also remind their disciples from time to time, letting them know who they could not afford to offend in this Immortal Spirit Realm.

However, the Mara Gate is expanding too fast these days. The inner disciple are alright, but the outer disciples are quite a mixed bag.

Those who dared to stop the Jimo Household caravan today clearly hadn't heeded their teachings. They not only brought disaster upon themselves, but also dragged everyone else into it.

The disciple with the jade token was furious, but had no choice but to put on a brave face and clean up the mess left by the two men.

"I'm so sorry, Young Master Jimo. We failed to teach our disciples proper manners, and now they have offended you. I apologize in advance." The disciple with the jade pendant quickly put away his knife and signaled the other disciples to put away their weapons as well.

The other party intended to reconcile, but Jimo Qing showed no intention of letting them off easily. Instead, he continued with a smile, "This isn't an offense by the Mara Gate; it's clearly our Jimo Household's caravan that's ignorant of the rules. Not only did they refuse to pay the lodging fee, but they've never even heard of the rule about city entrance fees. We are truly ignorant; no wonder your sect's disciples asked us to pay double the entrance fee."

Upon hearing this, the disciple with the jade token looked even more distressed. He had already warned them that the Jimo Household's business trip to the main city was all pre-arranged with the sect leader.

Every year they pay hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones to the Mara Gate, so they don't usually charge the Jimo caravans a stopover fee, and they even waive the suddenly increased city entry fee.

But these brats only know how to pay lip service to his words and don't take them to heart at all.

The jade-stamped disciple felt increasingly unlucky, wondering how he had ended up with such a group of audacious newcomers!

"Young Master Jimo, what are you saying? You and our sect leader have always been on good terms, and the sect leader has long instructed us that your family doesn't need to pay these fees at all. It's just that the new disciples don't know the rules, which is why they offended you. We'll take them back and teach them a lesson right away, so please don't take it to heart."

The disciple with the jade token smiled obsequiously and kept saying nice things. He had already made up his mind that if he could return to the sect safely, he would definitely abandon it and leave!

This Mara Gate is no place for humans; the entire sect is full of ambitious people and idiots! It's doomed sooner or later!

"No need," Jimo Qing refused his suggestion again. "I find your sect's methods of disciplining disciples rather poor. Fortunately, my Jimo Household is quite knowledgeable and courteous. Why not leave those two here and let us teach them a lesson for your sect?"

At that moment, the two outer disciples, whose limbs had already been broken, felt as if they were being watched by some wild beast. Gone was their previous arrogance and pride. Ignoring the excruciating pain, they hurriedly crawled to the jade-stamped disciple who was their squad leader.

"Senior brother, senior brother, you must save us! We were trained by you!" The two outer disciples had now witnessed Jimo Qing's power and knew very well that if the jade token disciples didn't help them, their lives would be in danger.

But the jade-stamped disciple who was being clung to was also in a difficult position. The other party was Jimo Qing! He had already declared that he would keep the two of them; how could the jade-stamped disciple dare to challenge him?!

Looking at the two people on the ground, their faces covered in tears and snot, the jade-stamped disciple gritted his teeth in hatred. "Now you know to beg me? How many times did I tell you not to cause trouble, but you just wouldn't listen! If you had only listened to one more word of my advice, would things have come to this?!"

The jade-stamped disciple wanted to continue cursing, but Jimo Qing was too lazy to listen anymore.

"Whether your sect intends to keep these two or take them with you, I have little patience. If you still cannot make a decision, why not come with me and speak to your sect leader?"

Upon hearing this, the disciple with the jade token kicked the two men away in a flash. He quickly waved his hand at Jimo Qing, saying, "No need, no need. This is such a small matter, why should we trouble the sect leader? These two have offended Young Master Ji Mo, so it's only right that you handle them. We have other important matters to attend to, so we won't delay Young Master Ji Mo's entry into the city."

He grabbed a fellow disciple beside him and half-pushed, half-kicked him to make way.

"Please, please..."

Jimo Qing nodded and went inside first. Soon, several people came out of the caravan, dragging two outer disciples who were like dead dogs, and followed their master.

Sang Ying also blended into the crowd and entered the city gate with the flow of people.

She kept a low profile, and not a single Mara Gate disciple noticed her throughout the entire process.

After entering the city, Sang Ying gave the leader a handful of Spirit Stone and then planned to part ways with them.

Seeing this, the tour leader tried to persuade her to stay, "Fairy, why be so polite? We've traveled together and are practically friends. Besides, judging from your appearance, this is probably your first time in Yao Zhou's main city, and you probably don't have a place to stay yet. Why don't you stay with us at the All Under Heaven Pavilion for now?"

Before Sang Ying could even speak, Jiang Zhuoxue, who was wrapped around her wrist, gently bit her, seemingly unwilling to have any contact with the Jimo Household.

Sang Ying paused for a moment, then declined, "Thank you for your kind offer, leader, but I'm used to being lazy, so I won't bother you any longer."

Seeing that Sang Ying was speaking earnestly, the team leader didn't press the matter, and the two parted ways.

Looking at the vast main city of Yao Zhou before her, Sang Ying sighed, "Time to start looking for a place to stay again!"
