Ah Huai directly grabbed a knife and blocked the door, saying to Song Yan, "Uncle Li, don’t be afraid!"
Xiao Huan quietly slipped out through the back door.
The fight quickly broke out, and Ah Huai defended the door with the fierce energy of a mad dog, surprisingly keeping those third-rate Jianghu people at bay for a moment.
Seeing Ah Huai getting beaten black and blue, covered in bruises, Xiao Huan’s figure appeared at the distant alley entrance.
And behind Xiao Huan was a group of beggars.
The beggars rushed forward, and those third-rate Jianghu martial artists, who usually relied on fancy fist techniques and bragging, quickly retreated when outnumbered, then fled.
Several days later...
The servant of Madam Qin San went into a frenzy, killed Madam San, and was then killed himself under the siege of the Qin family warriors.
After an investigation, the government concluded it as a "crime of passion" and did not pursue it further.
Song Yan, the small boss of Changchun Hall, was seen as having "some connection with the lower echelons of Jianghu," but... that’s all. In the "pyramid of status" in Chu Imperial City’s top tier, dominated by Thousand Crane Sect cultivators, Song Yan was only in the middle-lower tier, and no one paid any attention.
...
...
The battles among cultivators in Chu Imperial City grew ever fiercer.
Initially, the Thousand Crane Sect considered the civilians, but gradually they also ignored them.
Many people in Chu Imperial City began to relocate, fleeing from the city.
Song Yan, calm and collected, used the Qi Observation Pearl to watch the Qi above the Imperial City.
As long as the red cloud didn’t leave the city, everything would be fine.
Chu Imperial City, sitting atop a Profound Vein and being the Thousand Crane Sect’s millennial foundation, faced with the Fox Wolf siege, could it easily be abandoned?
With the outcome yet to be decided, how could a Thousand Crane Sect elder not rush back, and how could a Crimson Palace cultivator flee?
If anyone were to flee, it might just be Tang Fan.
From this bystander’s perspective of the battles, Song Yan also saw many things. Particularly eye-catching was the "Array Dao" of the Thousand Crane Sect.
The Thousand Crane Sect differed from the Nanwu Sword Sect.
