Chapter 188 Wind and Thunder Tattoo, Street Fighting Style

"Welcome, two True Disciple Brothers, to Guiling City. The banquet and dances are prepared, please—"

True Disciple Ding Ming of Fierce Darkness Peak was wearing a set of raven-black close-fitting long robes, ink jade hung at his waist, and he held a silver-iron fan. His face was quite handsome.

At this moment, he was also full of smiles and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you for your trouble, City Lord Wang. In the past few days, Brother Wei and I, Ding Ming, went to the Outer Perimeter of Eastern Limit Capital to investigate intelligence for a while and came here to rest."

"Not at all. As Saint Sect disciples, we should help each other when we are out. Person Wang is the host here, so it's only right to offer hospitality. Senior Brother Ding, just call me Junior Brother; City Lord is too formal."

"Then Ding Ming will accept your kind offer, Junior Brother Wang~"

"Senior Brother Ding!"

Wang Yu's skill of speaking human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts was already perfected. At first glance, one couldn't see through his true nature, but this Ding Ming was clearly also a clever person, and his superficial politeness was excellent.

Wei Shanze, feeling ignored on the side, then coldly snorted, impolitely pushed Wang Yu aside, and walked towards the Main Hall.

"What fake pleasantries? Two smiling tigers.

"Tired from these days. Quickly bring up all the good stuff, and prepare three beautiful concubines for this True Disciple to serve me in bed. Let's go—"

Wei Shanze had a square face and a burly build. He must have been over nine *chi* tall, and his attire was also quite unrestrained.

He wore short pants with a tiger-head belt. His upper body was mostly bare, with only a half-leather armor-style garment covering his left side. A mass of wild black hair was carelessly draped over his shoulders.

He gave off the feeling of a big brute with a head full of mush.

"Junior Brother Wang, don't mind him. Brother Wei has always been like this. Let's go in too."

"Hehe——

"Senior Brother Ding, please come in as well."

Wang Yu's face remained expressionless, but in his deepest heart, he was very displeased.

What 'character'? If Wei Shanze acted like this in front of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, see if he wouldn't get his head chopped off. What bullshit 'bold and forthright character'? Useless!

It's just a matter of tailoring his behavior to the person he's dealing with.

Once they entered the Main Hall, the purpose of these two putting on this act became clear.

Ding Ming: "Junior Brother Wang, why isn't Brother Zhuo here? I heard he came to your place very early on."

Wei Shanze had already sat down, seemingly eating and drinking heartily, but in fact, his ears were always listening to their conversation.

Wang Yu was slightly suspicious.

What are they looking for Zhuo Shouqing for? And why the need to give me a show of force? Could it be meant for Zhuo the Second to see? Aren't they supposed to be on good terms?...

While pondering this, he spoke.

"Brother Zhuo went to Cloud Dream Pavilion to have fun with Lady Yun. If you two would like to go, I can have someone take you there for a chat."

"No need, no need. It was just a casual remark. Why trouble Junior Brother Wang again? Since all this has been prepared, let's eat first."

After Ding Ming declined, he indeed sat down and started drinking.

Wang Yu could only suppress his doubts and join them. When eating, drinking, and enjoying themselves, there's always something to talk about, and now Eastern Pole Capital was a good hot topic.

Ding Ming took the initiative to bring up his recent gains at the Ruins: "Junior Brother Wang, your place is so close to the Ruins. Have you ever been to take a look?"

"Never have."

"That's a pity then. Recently, Eastern Pole Capital has been attracting more and more people. Junior Brother, if you had departed earlier, you might have been the first to get the moon from the waterside pavilion."

"Person Wang doesn't have that kind of fortune. Since Senior Brother Ding has come, then the treasure is naturally yours for the taking."

"Hahahaha, I appreciate Junior Brother's auspicious words."

"Senior Brother, you're too kind."

"Bang———"

The two of them exchanged pleasantries, continuously flattering each other. Before this probing could yield any results, Wei Shanze couldn't help but lose his patience.

He slammed his palm on the table, shattering it to pieces, and roared,

"You two are like a pair of flies, buzzing and buzzing! Can't even eat in peace. What are you staring at? You want to fight?"

Wang Yu quickly retreated, glancing at Ding Ming from the corner of his eye.

Seeing that he also looked annoyed, Wang Yu immediately understood. So, Wei Shanze wasn't acting on Ding Ming's orders? Was he really just a brute?

While inwardly astonished, Wei Shanze suddenly lunged at him, yelling,

"Person Wei hates your kind of pretty boy the most in his life. Today I'm in a bad mood. Come here, let me vent my anger on you."

"Ridiculous. You really think you're something, huh?"

Fighting is out of the question. I can only borrow the power of the Formation to maintain City Lord Wang's face."

Under Wang Yu's Divine Sense control, Adamantine Chains instantly bound Wei Shanze tightly. The other party seemed to have not expected this and was stunned for a moment before he began to unleash his physical strength to break free.

But… it was useless. Dozens, even hundreds, of Adamantine Chains formed by the Formation firmly bound him into a caterpillar-like shape.

Ding Ming, however, burst out laughing, as if venting pent-up frustration.

"Wei Shanze, I, Ding Ming, have tolerated you the entire way here. You idiot, you don't even know that the City Lord's Mansion is protected by a Formation? You're a disgrace to the Wei Family."

Judging by his tone, the Wei Family seemed to have produced many remarkable figures? Wang Yu was a little puzzled.

Wei Shanze was even more stunned. "Ding Ming, didn't you say we were going to give this kid a show of force? You also said we were short on funds, and Guiling City is Fertile Land, so we specifically came to shake him down a bit."

"You're talking nonsense! You still want to slander me at a time like this?"

Ding Ming looked at Wang Yu, just about to offer an explanation, but saw even more Adamantine Chains aiming their sharp points at him.

City Lord Wang's expression turned cold, and his tone was quite impolite.

"I don't care what you two are plotting or what kind of act you're putting on.

"Since Person Wang came to Guiling City, in the first year alone, I exterminated two clans, including the Bai Family, which had Peak Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

"I also once ordered the slaughter and destruction of the Spirit Jade Gold Tower. If you provoke me, don't even think about leaving here intact today."

Ding Ming was stunned in his deepest heart. He'd messed up. He hadn't expected this City Lord to be crazy.

Wei Shanze's eyes also widened.

"Slaughtered the Spirit Jade Gold Tower… You little… Junior Brother Wang, you are incredibly bold! Senior Brother was momentarily confused and was instigated by villains. Quickly, let me down!"

Their reactions made Wang Yu genuinely unsure what to think.

These two had been in Cloud Ridge State for months, and this was all the information they'd gathered? What Person Wang had done, not to mention being renowned throughout the Crimson Kite Demon Domain, was quite well-known even within Cloud Ridge State.

Not to mention Guiling City, the eye of the storm. Almost everyone knew; he'd been a hot topic among cultivators for a while now.

Their behavior didn't seem like they were here to gather information.

They might not have even contacted the locals here. After all, only that would explain it.

It must be… they went straight into the East Pole Capital Ruins, discovered some tricky problem, or rather, some unclear mysterious thing, and that's why they came looking for Zhuo Shouqing?!

Zhuo Shouqing's strength wasn't great, but his identity was high, and he knew many secrets.

While pondering, Wang Yu gradually figured out these two's intentions. Confidence surged in his heart, and he looked at Ding Ming.

"Xie Xiean sent you, didn't he?"

Ding Ming's eyes flickered, and he chuckled.

"How could that be? I, Ding Ming, just came to rest for a few days. This barbarian insisted on following me. I wasn't happy about it, so I thought I'd teach him a lesson. I didn't expect Brother Wei to really know nothing about the garrison City Lord's affairs… ha~"

"You're lying! It was you! You instigated me to do this!"

Before Wang Yu could reply, Wei Shanze became agitated again. Even though his body was bound like a caterpillar, he craned his neck, as if he wanted to headbutt Wang Yu to death.

"Enough. Speak. What does Xie Xiean want to ask Zhuo Shouqing?"

"If I'm in a good mood, I'll naturally help you ask. If I'm not, neither of you are going anywhere. You can leave after the East Pole Capital Ruins matter is over."

The atmosphere in the hall instantly fell silent. Wei Shanze stopped talking, and Ding Ming pondered for a good while before smiling.

"I didn't expect to be seen through by Junior Brother Wang. I'm ashamed."

Wang Yu could see through their intentions, simply because he believed Zhuo Shouqing. Since Zhuo Shouqing said he had no grudge against these two, then it must be true.

But these three True Disciples had come from afar together. Their own strength wasn't enough to dominate in the Ancient Ruins, so the possibility of cooperation was extremely high.

Their conflict was likely just an act.

A small part… well, was genuine. Wei Shanze was taking the opportunity to vent. Disdaining Wang Yu was part of the plan, but even scolding Ding Ming was likely his own little scheme.

This guy was actually quite interesting—rough around the edges but with a cunning mind.

It had to be said that after understanding this, Wang Yu's opinion of Wei Shanze had improved slightly.

"Tell me about it."

Ding Ming nodded, pulled a stool out from the wreckage of the broken table, and sat down leisurely.

"Xie Xiean asked me to inquire with Zhuo Shouqing. He wants to know the ending of the Sword Cultivator and the Soul Demon. As for more details, I don't know."

"Ending…"

A flash of insight gleamed in Wang Yu's eyes. It seemed Xie Xiean also knew this story. He thought Zhuo Shouqing knew the ending? But when Wang Yu had asked him last time, Zhuo the Second had said he didn't know.

The reason for asking must be that they discovered traces of this ancient Soul Path Demonic Cultivator in Eastern Pole Capital, possibly even within the Jingzhao Demon Suppression Prison.

Rakshasa True Demon Scripture, Asura Killing Saint Scripture!

These two scriptures originated from the same source. What if some kind of miraculous combination had occurred?

Take, for example, the Bloody Shackles and Shackles. These Ancient Treasures, specifically refined for sealing, inexplicably possess the ability to bewilder minds, which is quite illogical.

Ding Ming suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Wang, you seem to know something?"

Wang Yu nodded. "Just a slight guess. It might not be the truth."

"Could you tell us a bit?"

"No."

Ding Ming was choked speechless, and his expression stiffened.

"I, Ding Ming, and Brother Wei are True Disciples from two Peaks. If you help us today, you'll definitely be able to use this favor in the future."

"That's not untrue, but Person Wang only cares about the present. We can discuss that matter later. Senior Brother Ding, since you didn't lay a hand on anything, just 50,000 Spirit Stones for a friend's repair fee will suffice. As for Wei Shanze…"

Wang Yu flexed his wrist. Under his Divine Sense control, the dense Adamantine Chains began to disperse, revealing most of Wei Shanze's body, which had been tightly bound.

Only his limbs and neck remained firmly bound.

Next Instant.

After months of practice, the Wind and Thunder Mystic Art suddenly activated within Wang Yu's body. Amidst the roaring wind and thunder, dazzling blue lightning and unadorned cyan astral winds bloomed on his fist.

Dragon roars echoed, accompanied by wind and thunder!

Wei Shanze felt pain all over his body. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

"Ah——"
