Chapter 1028: The More Chaotic the Situation, the More Advantageous It Would Be
“Who would have thought that these forces would become even more chaotic the more they fought? In the end, they actually fought their way to the outer regions. Just half a month ago, the Thousand Kills Gang and the Broken Moon Gang came to our town to recruit disciples.
“Since we had no one to rely on, we thought that it would be good to join a gang. Since we’d have a more stable place to make a living, we decided to join the Thousand Kills Gang. However, within three days of joining, the Thousand Kills Gang and Broken Moon gang had already engaged in a fierce battle. More than half of my friends who had grown up with me died in an instant. The others were all injured and had yet to recover from their injuries, but the two sides started to engage in another chaotic battle. In the end, out of all those who joined the Thousand Kills Gang with me, Ah Bei and I are the only ones left.
“We knew that the situation was not looking great and if they continued, we wouldn’t see the light of day anymore. So me, Ah Bei, and the other people you saw earlier decided to escape from Thousand Kills Gang. But we quickly realized that the Sacred Realm of the Sects was a place that was even harder to survive in than Qianzhong Ridge. In the end, we had no choice but to turn back and resort to robbing others on the outskirts. Little did we know that we would run into you, and thus, here we are now.” Feng Zijin sighed.
“Actually, you guys should be happy that you ran into us. If you ran into the disciples of other sects, you would have died countless times already,” said Lan Xinyu with a sideways glance as she curled her lips.
“Yes, yes, yes. What you said makes sense.” Feng Zijin repeatedly agreed. Lan Xinyu was right. With their limited strength, forget about the five great sects. Even running into Cold Moon Palace or Heavenly Star Sect would have easily dealt with them. They wouldn’t have had the good mood Ling Chuxi had to let them live.
“Why did these forces fight?” asked Ling Chuxi with a frown. Logically speaking, after so many years of chaos in Qianzhong Ridge, a delicate balance between the major forces should have been established. It shouldn’t have turned out like this.
“I’m not sure about that, but I heard rumours that Thousand Kills Gang and the Qin family found some ancient ruins that hid martial arts secrets and treasures left behind by the ancient noble families. Since the two forces were not willing to share or give in to each other, they ended up fighting. When other sects heard the news, they wanted a piece of the pie too, and thus, the chaos went wild.” Feng Zijin answered. And after thinking for a while, he added, “But I only heard it from others. I don’t know if it’s true.”
“I see.” Ling Chuxi nodded. Although what Feng Zijin said might not be the entire truth, there was no way so many forces would fight for no reason. It must have something to do with overlapping interests.
“Chuxi, what should we do? Are we still going?” Su Yizhi was a little worried when he heard that Qianzhong Ridge was in chaos.
“Yes, of course we’re going,” said Ling Chuxi without hesitation. Seeing Su Yizhi’s uneasy expression, she further explained. “Since we’re going to Qianzhong Ridge to train, it’s inevitable that we’ll offend some people. These forces have been living here so comfortably for so many years and thus, their relationships must be intertwined. If we offended one, the others would come to their aid. Making too many enemies wouldn’t be a good thing. But now they’re all fighting each other in chaos, so who would bother about us? We can take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.”
“That makes sense. That makes sense.” Hearing Ling Chuxi’s explanation, Su Yizhi’s heart suddenly brightened.
From the looks of it, the more chaotic Qianzhong Ridge was, the more advantageous it would be for them.
“Then it’s decided. We’ll head to Qianzhong Ridge tomorrow morning,” said Ling Chuxi. She didn’t care what the forces in Qianzhong Ridge were fighting for. As long as Lan Xinyu, Su Yanhua, and the others could gain experience without getting into too much trouble, nothing else mattered as much.
