Chapter 268: Chapter 120: The Great Battle Begins! Spiritual Artifact Gourd, Overwhelming Power from a Fifth Grade Martial Artist (Major Chapter)

At this moment, Li Yuan walked out of the restaurant door, seemingly oblivious to Mu Hua, but still glanced at him warily, swaggering towards another restaurant.

Mu Hua watched him leave, then called two disciples to investigate this man.

The investigation revealed that the man had come from the southwest, which was clearly not Xinghai’s territory.

However, Mu Hua was cautious, waiting while activating local forces’ spy network for a quiet investigation.

In the following two days, this man’s movements in Linyuan County were quite normal, almost never disappearing suddenly.

Especially at night, the man didn’t return to sleep in his room but visited the brothel to play with the courtesan.

The courtesan happened to be part of the local gang, so… his whereabouts and actions were completely clear.

This made Mu Hua cross out much of the possibility that he was from Xinghai.

Most Xinghai had a fatal flaw: they couldn’t stay outside for long, as they could only hide on Ghost Street.

But this man had been wandering outside for two days now.

Mu Hua didn’t hesitate any longer, as it was a time of need, and he couldn’t miss the opportunity of encountering a Sixth Grade martial artist.

So, he found out where Li Yuan was and went directly at night.

Upon arrival, Li Yuan was still playing with the courtesan.

His strong figure was like a giant bear, while the petite courtesan just fit on his lap.

The courtesan held a wine bottle, coquettishly saying, “Master, drink, let’s take turns… Spring Dream Brew, a quarter hour of spring night, hehehe…”

The courtesan was acting coy, suddenly hearing the door open, quieting down.

Outside the door, she glanced sideways and saw a Cyan Robe man enter.

The courtesan trembled slightly, being a member of the gang, she naturally recognized who the Cyan Robe man was, immediately tightening her legs, sitting respectfully on Li Yuan’s lap without daring to rise, being like a cat caught between two tigers, with stillness being her best option.

Li Yuan snorted coldly, looking at the man entering from outside, knowing the fish had taken the bait.

Wanting to become a Tributor, it wasn’t as simple as showcasing one’s skills; it was best to have someone recommend you, otherwise, trust issues could create a lot of trouble.

Mu Hua didn’t hide his vitality, straightforwardly declaring his Sixth Grade status and friendly intent.

Li Yuan watched him quietly, leading with a cold voice, “Have you been watching me for a few days, sir?”

Mu Hua made a courtesy gesture and said, “Divine Wood Hall, Mu Hua.”

Li Yuan squinted at him, then returned the courtesy, “Independent Practitioner, Jin Daorong.”

Mu Hua smiled and said, “Is Brother Jin here to play, or to seek opportunities?”

Li Yuan rumbled, “Both playing and seeking opportunities.”

Mu Hua said, “Is Brother Jin willing to become a Tributor for Divine Wood Hall, Holy Fire Palace, and Mountain Hall, just to resolve this Jiangbei Prefecture matter, and it’ll be over.

Also, Blood Gold is based on attendance, twenty taels per attendance, fifty taels per battle.”

Li Yuan pretended to be silent, then asked after a while, “Is it against Xinghai?”

Mu Hua nodded, then smiled, “Since Brother Jin still wants to play, why not come back with me, with beauties, fine wine, and good food, all free…”

Li Yuan said, “Xinghai acts unpredictably, and their attacks are deadly, this is very dangerous…”

Mu Hua slightly frowned.

Li Yuan said, “Add a bit more money.”

Mu Hua was taken aback, saying, “To be honest Brother Jin, the other Tributors are also at this price, and it’s not low.”

However, Li Yuan had already learned some of the current big picture of the war from Yan Mu, and he also felt… the fights were becoming intense.

The warfare mode was also changing…

The other side was in need of people, so they wouldn’t be stingy with money at this time.

So, he sighed and said, “I have dealt with Xinghai before, those Xinghai… I really don’t want to encounter them a second time.”

Mu Hua frowned, “Then twenty-five taels per attendance, sixty taels per battle.”

Li Yuan changed his tone, “But if I meet them a second time, I will surely drive them to annihilation!”

Mu Hua’s mouth twitched, then he said, “Brother Jin, this price must not be disclosed to other Tributors.”

Li Yuan smiled, “Then thank you, Brother Mu.”

Hearing him call “Brother Mu,” Mu Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief, then said, “Then let Brother Jin come back with me to the estate, where there are beauties to serve.”

“Hahaha, alright, alright, alright.”

Li Yuan hugged the petite courtesan, and said, “Brother Mu must hold a high position here, right? Let this courtesan come with me.”

Mu Hua was stunned, glancing at the courtesan.

He was recently investigating Li Yuan, only to find out the courtesan was named Hua Yanmeng, a spy placed outside by a local gang named “Miaozhi Garden,” and she was a Ninth Grade martial artist, but had only been placed for more than a month…

And “Miaozhi Garden” naturally was a subordinate force of Divine Wood Hall.

No matter how beautiful a Ninth Grade Little Martial Artist was, Mu Hua wouldn’t care, nor would he bother to inform that subordinate gang, let alone care about the woman’s network, and directly said, “Then this girl will follow Brother Jin from now on.”

Hua Yanmeng was momentarily taken aback, her pretty face showing a bit of bewilderment…

She had been thinking of working for the sect, then gradually climbing up to gain more resources.

But her fate was changed with just a few words.

Li Yuan laughed heartily, “Following isn’t necessary, I just enjoy exploring, thinking that if I can have a familiar pretty lady in this place, then next time I’ll have a guide.”

Mu Hua smiled, clasped his hands, and said, “It seems Brother Jin has quite a few bosom friends.
