Chapter 1027 - Would Have Been Famous by Now

“Oh, I see. Okay, I won’t kill you,” said Ling Chuxi as she nodded, “We just need a guide, so you can lead the way for us. Also, you’d better not play any tricks.”

Ling Chuxi had no interest in killing them in the first place. Seeing that the two of them were not blood brothers and yet were closer than blood brothers, she was more or less moved. Speaking of which, other than a sect like the Su family, which was inherited through the bloodline of the family, it’s hard to find such a connection even among the disciples of other sects.

In any case, they know nothing about the situation in Qianzhong Ridge. So instead of having the blind lead the blind, it was better to have two guides with them.

“Yes, my Lady.” Feng Zijin answered quickly. Then he asked, “My Lady, where are you heading?”

The Qianzhong Ridge, of course. Where else do you think we’re going?” asked Ling Chuxi in return. Would they be going to other places?

“Qianzhong Ridge, you want to go to Qianzhong Ridge at this time?” asked Feng Zijin in surprise. There was obviously some lingering fear in his eyes.

“What’s wrong?” asked Ling Chuxi.

“My Lady, to tell you the truth, we just escaped from Qianzhong Ridge. I’m afraid it won’t do you any good to go there now. If there’s nothing urgent, it’s better to take a detour,” said Feng Zijin with a bitter smile.

“Oh, what happened in Qianzhong Ridge?” asked Ling Chuxi curiously.

“Qianzhong Ridge is in chaos now. Even people like us who grew up in Qianzhong Ridge had to escape,” said Feng Zijin with a sigh.

“Oh? What happened?” Ling Chuxi knew that Qianzhong Ridge was a chaotic place, but she didn’t expect it to be this chaotic.

“Well, you probably know how Qianzhong Ridge came about so I will spare you the details. Over the years, Qianzhong Ridge has been thriving with people. With time, many forces have formed. Some established family clans through blood ties, while others established sects with similar martial arts interests, and some others are purely gangs,” said Feng Zijin.

“Your so-called Chaotic Blade Gang is a sect?” asked Ling Chuxi curiously.

“With so little strength and power, how could we call ourselves a sect? The Chaotic Blade Gang is just a front. You said it yourself, didn’t you, my Lady? That one needs quite a lot of skills to rob. Obviously, I do not oversee this mountain, nor did I plant any of these trees. If I truly did, my name would have been famous throughout the ridge.” Feng Zijin’s crossed eyes turned bright.

“Uh… Let’s get down to business. So, what’s going on in Qianzhong Ridge?” Ling Chuxi had to wipe away the cold sweat forming on her forehead. She had just asked him the question earlier on a whim, not expecting him to take it so seriously.

“Oh, yes, yes, I’ll continue.” Feng Zijin quickly changed gears. “These forces are deeply rooted and well established in Qianzhong Ridge. Although there are some small conflicts between them, none would blow up and turn deathly. However, a while ago, for some unknown reason, the Qin family and Thousand Kills Gang started fighting fought. Later, the Ou family and the Wei family also fought. Later, the other major forces also joined in. There was so much fighting; they would be drinking with each other today, then fighting each other with swords in the next. For us, our ancestors arrived at Qianzhong Ridge with no background or formidable strength. So all we could do was remain on the outskirts of Qianzhong Ridge just to make a living.”
