Chapter Forty-Four: The Hidden Demon King

ad his whole face swollen up, couldn't see his eyes, and couldn't speak properly.Could it be aftereffects of that Kunpi drum, Zhao Rucheng thought to himself.Over there, Sun Xiaoyan saw his own reflec...Sanshan City is located in the southeast of Qinghe County, which can be considered remote. The entire city area is surrounded by mountains, and it is most famous for its three peaks, hence the name Sanshan City.

These three peaks are called Vertical Pen, Jade Balance, and Flying Arrival.

The people of this region, due to their poverty and isolation, were often derisively called "mountain barbarians." Many couldn't even afford shoes; they went barefoot over mountains and valleys as if walking on flat ground.

As long as the people from Sanshan City arrive, this year's Sancheng Lun Dao can officially begin, because the people from Wangjiang City entered the city a day early.

Geographically speaking, San Shan City is a bit farther away in a straight line. However, the water route from Wang Jiang City to Feng Lin City is extremely convenient. Taking a boat down Qingjiang River and then into the tributary Green Willow River, if the wind is favorable, one could even reach their destination by nightfall.

And walking from Sān Shān City to Fēng Lín City, at a commoner's pace, would take about three to four days... This is still because there's an official road.

It's not that students who don't participate in the debates can rest. During the entire Sancheng debate, they still need to help the government maintain order. New disciples like Ling He and Zhao Ru Cheng have even less chance to slack off.

Under such circumstances, a contingent of the City Guard was assigned to garrison within the city. They had no complaints about this arrangement.

The Sanshan City troop definitely entered from the south gate, so after receiving the notice, they waited at the south gate entrance.

"How much longer do we have to wait" Zhao Rucheng yawned. "If I had known we were still stuck here in the end, I should have competed myself and given the spot to my third brother."

At this time, Jiang Wang was resting at home under the pretense of preparing for the competition. As for them who did not have to compete, they had already been on patrol duty for three days. The disparity in treatment was simply staggering.

“Sigh.” Huang Azhan also shook his head: “I also think Zhang Shixiong is getting older, and I softened my heart for a moment. Otherwise, I should have been the leader. How could I waste time with you kids!”

As a student for only three years, no matter how much he brags, he should stop at Li Jianqiu's level. But he jumped straight to the five-year program, aiming for the team leader position. All I can say is that the way of boasting knows no bounds.

Zhao Ruocheng and Ling He both turned their heads to look at him, giving him approving glances.

"Is that so"

Just as Huang Ajian was puzzled, a faint voice continued to echo behind him: "Am I very old"

Huang A-zhan almost jumped up in excitement: “What I want to express is... Zhang senior brother is highly respected!”

Zhang Linchuan stood behind him, about two steps away, a smirk playing on his lips. "For the sake of the entire Fenglin City, how can you be so soft-hearted Why not take back your leadership position..."

Here is the translation:

"Ouch! Ah!" Huang A-zhan cried out, his voice rising and falling. "Why is my stomach hurting so much"

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

"Excuse me, brothers and sisters, please bear with me for a moment. I'll be right back." He covered his stomach in pain, hunched over, and dashed away like smoke.

If he were to go back, he would naturally not return again. It's better to be punished by the Daoist Temple and have his Dao Merit deducted.

Zhao Ruocheng curled his lips. He had just been boastful for a moment, this Huang Azhan wouldn't die if he didn't do anything. It seems that Du Tiger went, he drank too little alcohol.

"Zhang Senior Brother," Ling He was a man of upright character, first performing a bow to his senior brother before saying, "How did you come here"

Zhang Linchuan nodded in return: "With the discussion about to begin, I need to observe the enemy's situation."

It seems Dong A did put quite a bit of pressure on him, making even the fastidious Hao Jie willing to squeeze into a crowd to observe the "enemy".

In fact, there are also many ordinary people living in Nanshan Gate. They are more interested in the so-called "barbarians" compared to those wealthy folks in Wangjiang City.

Here it is!

There was a commotion up ahead, as the disciples of the Sanshan City Daoist Academy finally arrived.

Unlike the cultivators from Wangjiang City who came out for a stroll with their retinues, only six people arrived from San Shan City. The number of participants in each city's discourse was exactly six.

They entered from the south gate in a 3-2 formation.

People almost immediately looked at their feet. It is said that each mountain barbarian family only had one pair of shoes, worn only by those going on a long journey.

And they were not disappointed. The girl at the front of the procession from the Three Mountain City, walked barefoot.

This kind of prejudiced gaze would undoubtedly make one feel uncomfortable. Therefore, Linghe immediately went up to meet him.

“Fellow cultivators of Sanzhan City! Ling He from Fenglin City Dao Academy has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me. Let's rest and have a meal at the academy first, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with the discussion venue later.”

According to the usual arrangement, Huang Azhan, who had served for three years, should have been in charge of welcoming the visitors from Sanshan City. However, the superior officer in charge assigned Ling He instead, citing his lackluster appearance. In fact, Ling He's sincerity made him quite suitable for this task.

Even before the people of Sanshan City could react, they were already following Ling He.

To Zhao Rucheng's surprise, the crowd gathered near the city gate focused their gazes more on the rotund figure in the midst of the Sanshan City contingent.

Unlike the other people's simple and neat outfits, he was wearing a hooded black robe, his whole face hidden in the hood, which made him look particularly strange and eye-catching.

Even Zhao Ru'cheng could hear some people whispering.

This is a trick question!There's no text within the tags to translate. Let me know if you have some actual text you'd like translated!

“That’s their strongest one, huh”

“Of course, standing under the spotlight with everyone admiring you, just look at that aura!”

It looks scary.

"Our Fenglin City should be on guard!"

"What are you afraid of Zhang Linfeng from the Zhang family is no pushover!"

He seems to be a vegetarian... Last time he came to our restaurant, he didn't even touch the bear paws. He only ate a few bites of vegetables. I served them those dishes!

The topic gradually went off track...

As for the little girl at the front of the San Shan City procession, she was just too innocent. Even though she was indeed beautiful, petite, and adorable. But after all, the world of cultivators is a cruel one. Only those who are truly strong will be respected.

As a member of the welcoming party, Zhao Ruocheng naturally chatted with the cultivators from Sanshan City, but these people spoke little and were very attentive to their formation, tightly guarding the man in black robes at the center, as if afraid someone would study their secret artifacts.

Zhao Dashao pretended to try several times but couldn't squeeze in, so he gave up.

He merely noticed that, as the townsfolk along the road discussed amongst themselves, the faces of these disciples from the Three Mountains Sect...grew rather strange.

Zhang Linchuan did not stay with them. He just squeezed into the crowd and glanced at them a few times before leaving.

Led by Ling He's enthusiastic introduction and the barefoot girl's concise replies, the group veered to the right, heading towards the direction of the Daoist temple.

The barefoot girl suddenly stopped, her gaze turning towards a tavern on the street.

On the second floor of the wine house, a young man with an elegant face stood by the window. He had one hand behind his back and the other holding up a cup, looking at the barefooted girl from afar and responding vaguely. He showed a smile that was impeccable.

The barefoot girl, her gaze unwavering, walked straight ahead.

But Ling He recognized it.

That was the leader of the delegation from Wangjiang City for this discourse, and also the top ranked cultivator on Wangjiang City's Daoist Merit List, Lin Zhengren!
