Chapter 2, The Strategy of Distant Alliances and Close Attacks is Always Advantageous (1)

( The people in the jianghu are truly foolish ... ... so foolish ... ... )

The young man chuckled and said: "As far as I know, the chief steward of Yulong Manor is merely a village girl hired from a nearby mountain village. She knows nothing and is only responsible for occasionally relaying messages from Gilfehart to her. Many people are fixated on her, but I believe that if there is nothing wrong with her, then Gilfehart must be hiding a mole within the manor, a true confidant... I have been watching here for three days, paying attention to every member inside, including those who are not real... I have been watching here for three days, paying attention to every member inside, including those who are not real... Finally, I have made a discovery.

The young man casually stopped the bleeding from his neck and smiled, saying: "One should be grateful in life. I have helped you with such a significant favor; shouldn't you express some gratitude?"

The young man stroked his chin and said, "You are also people who understand the rules, so... should it be said that one must die without complaint?"

With every word spoken, these few individuals hurriedly bowed their heads, and one person was so frightened that he wet his pants, repeatedly pleading for mercy. The young man then stroked his chin and said: "To be honest, I am not a pervert; I do not enjoy killing indiscriminately, as that is quite wrong. Consider yourselves fortunate, for I shall let you go today..."

Sigh, do you all venture into the world without first understanding the identity of the other party before taking action? Not knowing the identity of the other and shouting to fight and kill is a major taboo in the world. The young man shrugged and smiled, saying: "As a civilized person, I greatly enjoy using tools. If the distance is far enough, I hide and shoot arrows; if they get too close, I use this!"

White, White Lotus Golden Order

What does it mean

The cries were filled with terror; several individuals were so frightened that they dropped their swords and knives, all kneeling on the ground. The young girl looked at this scene, utterly perplexed, while the young man, instead of being surprised, continued to speak with a grin, seemingly unconcerned about the blood still flowing from his neck.

Thieving scoundrel, you have harmed our elders with your sneak attack, and you shall pay with your life! May you open your eyes in your next life!

"Despicability is my interest, shamelessness is my character, therefore I accept this accusation with a smile. Several of you have swords drawn at my neck; what is your intention?"

The young man appeared completely unconcerned, leaving several fierce individuals feeling perplexed. With weapons already pressed against his neck, could a cooked duck still fly away?

Gilfehart has lived in seclusion in the valley for many years. He may choose to ignore other matters outside, such as books and illustrations, but Yulong Manor is the stronghold he personally established. He has no reason to be indifferent to the happenings within. Even if he uses magical devices for remote monitoring, he must still keep someone on-site as a lookout to respond to various situations.

Before the words were finished, three weapons were already pressed against the neck, including knives and swords, along with several injured individuals wearing expressions of intense anger

The five individuals, as if granted a great pardon, hurriedly bowed their heads in gratitude. Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard the young man cough and say: "Do you think you can just leave like this? Are you not aware of the rules? Debts must be repaid, and you still have my arrows in your possession. You intend to take advantage of me as you leave?"

The young man glanced at the girl still sitting on the ground, then looked at the severed hand on the ground, and chuckled, "The rules of the martial world are indeed flawed; they only needed to return the arrow, yet they went so far as to cut off a hand"

The young man said: "Just now, when those people were about to act recklessly against you, the surrounding magical fluctuations suddenly intensified. I cannot be certain whether it was magic or a magical device, but the energy was quite strong. If it were to be unleashed, those guys would definitely meet a bad end. So, to be serious, I am actually here to save their lives, as well as to assist you."

In the conversation, there were hidden meanings. The five individuals from hetushu.com suddenly turned pale, hesitating for a moment. The leader gritted his teeth and, with a swift motion, severed the hand that had been struck by the arrow at the wrist. The other four followed suit, and in an instant, five bloody severed hands lay on the ground. They then immediately fled, not daring to linger for even a moment.

The girl struggled with both hands, and the rope binding her gradually shattered, signifying that she would not allow herself to be at the mercy of others. However, this charming little gesture revealed much more to the young onlookers. At the moment the rope broke, a surge of magical energy gathered around it; the rope first became brittle before it finally shattered. This already indicated the technique employed by the girl.

No, I did not know of your esteemed arrival, and I have failed to extend a proper welcome. According to the rules of the school, seeing the White Lotus Golden Order is akin to seeing... ... akin to seeing... ...

The girl's accusations did not make the young people feel that anything was amiss. If it had been an ordinary girl who had witnessed the bloody scene just now, she would undoubtedly have been terrified, fearing that she too might be silenced. Yet, this girl was not afraid of anything.

The young girl secretly thought this, but what happened shortly after left her even more confused about these people from the martial world. A loud laugh echoed, and a figure emerged from the other end of the garden, approximately sixty meters away, behind a large tree. He carried a sturdy iron bow on his shoulder, which looked very robust, no wonder he could shoot such powerful arrows

The young man acted swiftly, pulling an object from his sleeve. His movements were so rapid that the few people nearby, despite having blades at their throats, were unable to react in time. When they saw that he suddenly had something in his hand, they assumed it was a weapon, and their first instinct was to strike. The tips of their blades had already cut through flesh, drawing blood. The young man's cheerful expression remained unchanged, but when the others finally recognized the object, they were struck as if by lightning, trembling all over and shouting out loud

You... you, how can you be so insidious? You keep claiming to spare lives, yet you still want to leave someone with only one hand when letting them go. Isn't that too despicable?

You little rascal! Sneaking attacks, despicable!

What do you want to do

"That is not what I meant." The young man pointed to the grass beneath the girl. The girl looked down and saw that the grass had withered away at some point, causing her to change her expression.

Haha, gentlemen, a graceful lady is a gentleman's ideal partner. However, the methods you employ to pursue women seem a bit... hehehe... We are all civilized individuals, so why must we...

Looking at your appearance, you must be from the m.hetushu.com Golden Gun Gang and the Iron Sword Alliance, right? You are considered an external organization of the Holy Sect, and the leader and elders are under the command of the Daoist sect... As for the younger generation, you probably wouldn't recognize high-level items like the White Lotus Golden Order. Do you need me to explain it again?

"Help me? Just because you saved me? Stop being so self-righteous."

Oh, injuring the hand means paying with one's life. You truly know how to conduct business. However, do you really believe that this will take my life and rid society of its evils

"Proceed, to see the Golden Order is to see the Holy Master. Let us dispense with these clichéd phrases, as they are not what you truly care about. According to the unwritten rules of the sect, the Silver Order and below are granted to the esteemed within the sect, and to see the Order is akin to seeing the Holy Master. However, the Golden Order is solely wielded by the Holy Master's secret emissaries, tasked with executing highly confidential missions. For the sake of secrecy, it is common practice to eliminate anyone who sees it, and there have been precedents of entire villages and towns being slaughtered. Therefore... the Golden Order is also known as the King of Hell's Order."

This person is quite young, not yet twenty years old, with an unkempt appearance, dressed very sloppily, and sporting a full beard on his face, which makes one shake their head in disbelief. What is most astonishing is that he seems to believe there is no danger here at all, with a beaming smile and a cheerful demeanor, rubbing his hands together as he strides over.
