Chapter 93 Disgraced Himself (Part Two)


    At this disy of power, silence descended in the tavern.


    Fights between the Imperial Army and Cloud Sect were verymon.


    Although disciples of Cloud Sect were highly skilled, soldiers of the Imperial Army were strongmen who


    had experiencedbats extensively. They had acquired valuable practical skills from fighting. This


    gave them a slight advantage and brought them at par with the Cloud Sect disciples.


    However, a soldier had now been humiliated by a young cultivator at the marrow refining level.


    All the soldiers felt ashamed.


    Under normal circumstances, the entire tavern would have been involved in a skirmish like this.


    But, today, everyone knew that Wu had deliberately provoked Zen. What made them more hesitant to


    get involved was that Wu had instigated a junior disciple at the marrow refining level to fight him.


    Although the soldiers in the Imperial Army were not physically well-groomed, they were sensible.


    Today, Wu was totally out of luck as he had disgraced himself. He shouldn''t me Zen who was at the


    marrow refining level.


    At that moment, even Martin felt a little embarrassed.


    Zen had joined the Green Haze Group at Martin''s invitation. Martin was now in a quandary. On one


    hand, it would be rude for him to embarrass Zen because Wu had chosen to incite the young disciple in


    a show of strength. On the other hand, Zen''s strength had been astounding. As a result, he humiliated


    Wupletely. Seeing that Wu was still lying motionless on the floor, Martin resented him a little. After


    all, both he and Wu were members of the Imperial Army.


    Thus, Martin felt that he had been humiliated by association. ''Wu overestimated his abilities after


    drinking some wine. Cloud Sect is a sacred ce of martial arts. Its students are talented in different


    skills. Since Wu chose to disgrace himself, he deserves the insult, '' thought Martin.


    In this situation, Martin''s only choice was to smooth things over, and to this end, he said, "Well, the fight


    is over. Tomorrow, we have work to do. I think it''s best if we rest early..."


    While the exnation was feeble, it gave the soldiers, including Wu, a reason to excuse themselves


    from the tavern without further embarrassment or confrontations.


    On hearing Martin''s words, Wu got up from the floor. He shook his hands and legs. Judging from his


    rosyplexion, the onlookers concluded that he hadn''t been hurt. Though no one voiced their


    concerns, the soldiers knew that Zen had perhaps restrained himself from using his full power. Had he


    not done so, Wu would have been severely wounded.


    Wu was a soldier. He was frank and upright, albeit not amenable to reason. Even though a weaker


    opponent had beaten him, he would behave fairly. Atst, he walked to Zen, cupped one hand in the


    other before his chest and said, "You are a disciple from Cloud Sect. You have potent strength and


    abilities. I am really astonished by you. What happened today was my fault." After saying this, he


    looked around and said, "I have embarrassed myself. I apologize!" As soon as he had finished, Wu


    looked up and left.


    Martin didn''t exin to others like Zen and Roger why Wu showed hatred for Cloud Sect''s disciples


    until Wu had left the tavern.


    Previously, Wu had led his Evergreen Squad to fulfill tasks, and some members of the squad were


    disciples of Cloud Sect.


    In executing their tasks, the squad was besieged by de locusts. While the Cloud Sect disciples were


    able to escape from the de locusts'' siege because of their skills, they left soldiers from the


    Evergreen Squad behind. Although the squad persevered and eventually escaped, scores of soldiers


    had lost their lives.


    All these soldiers had risked their lives under Wu''smand. Had the Cloud Sect disciples not


    deserted the Evergreen Squad, they wouldn''t have lost so many soldiers.

    "He must have felt great pain to see his soldiers who had risked their lives with him being killed by the


    de locusts in front of him," Martin said while shaking his head with a heavy sigh.


    Zen nodded sympathetically and said, "I can understand. Wu is righteous, and he is not a bad man."


    "It''s great that you can understand him, Zen!" As Martin spoke up, he burst intoughter, and


    continued, "It''s toote in the evening. At present, insect epidemics ur here and there. There must


    be some tasks for us to fulfill tomorrow. Let me arrange amodation for the four of you to rest."


    A little whileter, all the soldiers and Cloud Sect disciples settled in their rooms.


    ...


    That night, another huge flying chariotnded in Dragon Fort.


    After the door of the huge flying chariot opened, Cloud Sect disciples alighted.


    Liam Cao was thest to step out.


    Behind him stood two slender and tall young men.


    Both young men looked pale. Since one man was lightplexioned, he looked ghostly white, while


    the other, a ck-skinned man, appeared as though ayer of ash covered his skin. As they neither


    said much nor looked at the bystanders, it appeared as though the young men were introverted.


    However, they looked fierce, which showed that they were cultivators at the nature level.


    "Hey, buddies, we have arrived!" Liam said politely.


    "Damn it! We traveled so far for a guy at the marrow refining level,"ined the white-skinned


    young man unpleasantly.


    Liam replied with a smile, "We can surely gain some benefits when we get this done for Fren. Dealing


    with that guy is a piece of cake for us. Let''s just think of this as a fun trip."


    Hearing this, the ck-skinned young man snorted and said, "Don''t talk nonsense. Do you think I


    would havee to the damned Dragon Fort with White Fiend, had Fren not asked us for a favor? Are


    you sure that the guy Zen is at the Dragon Fort?"


    Liam nodded and replied, "Yes, I am very certain about this."


    "If so, ask him toe out so that I can kill him with a p and fulfill Fren''s task. Am I right? After that,


    we can go right back on the flying chariot," both young men said simultaneously.


    Liam closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose as his head throbbed. He recalled that the


    white-skinned man was called White Fiend, and the ck-skinned one was ck Fiend. The two


    formed a group known as ck Fiend and White Fiend.


    Although the two young men were very powerful, they were also unruly and grumpy. They would beat


    and kill people on impulse as long as they were enraged.


    Recalling Fren''s promise, Liam tried hard to suppress his anger upon hearing what White Fiend and


    ck Fiend had said. He patiently exined, "Dragon Fort is under the control of the Imperial Army. Do


    you think you will survive after you kill a person here on a whim?"


    "Then, what should we do? Do we really have to kill that guy after he leaves here?" White Fiend asked


    with a gloomy face.


    "Since he was willing toe to Dragon Fort, he will eventually get out here to hunt and kill de


    locusts. When that happens, you will have many chances to kill him. If we n it well, we might think of


    many funny and entertaining ways to kill him. Who knows, we might not even have to get involved


    directly," as Liam said this, a cunning smile grew on his face.
