Duan Yun returned to Yuzhu Villa and spoke to Shen Ying and the Murong brothers about the storyteller’s tale.

The Murong brothers couldn’t help but exclaim, "Brother, you really have a knack for being blamed for things. Now you’ve even got the blame for stuff in Leizhou. By the way, are those Jade Girls pretty?"

Duan Yun said, "Who knows, it’s all messed up. They even claimed to have conjured my Dharma Image."

The smart Murong brothers’ eyes lit up with an idea, "I know, it must be one of your intimate sisters who wants to attract your attention that made up this Jade Sword Sect to lure you there."

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

Duan Yun and Shen Ying said in unison.

The absurdity of the Murong brothers was their ability to relate anything to sisters.

"What are you planning to do?" Shen Ying asked.

Duan Yun pondered, "I was unaware before, but now that I know, it’s quite a shock to find there are so many masters out to take my life. Once my sword is forged, I’ll take the initiative to attack."

"Hmm?"

Duan Yun seriously said, "I was thinking, how can I kill the Tower Master of the Red House, the Sect Leader of the Thunder God and Mother Sect, and all of the Twelve Star Signs? I’m not greedy, I always thought of slaughtering the Red House Mad Woman and the Thunder lunatic entirely, but now it seems difficult, a beheading strike seems more reliable."

"You call this not being greedy and reliable?"

Shen Ying and the Murong brothers nearly dropped their jaws upon hearing his words.

Duan Yun, seeing their expressions, asked, "Is it that difficult?"

"Very difficult," said the Murong brothers earnestly.

"How difficult can it be for the Sect Leader of the Thunder God and Mother Sect?" Duan Yun asked, unconvinced.

"Let’s set aside the fact that the Sect Leader of the Thunder God and Mother Sect once killed three Grandmasters in a row, his obsession with listening to thunder and his nomadic lifestyle, always following thunder, makes it not easy for you to find him, as he does not come looking for you."

"What about the Red House? Surely the Tower Master of the Red House can’t be nomadic?" Duan Yun asked.

The Murong brothers wore an ugly expression and said, "You, who know nothing, are you planning to actively go and take down the Tower Master of the Red House?"

Duan Yun said with righteousness, "Of course, am I supposed to wait for them to come at me?"

Shen Ying thoughtfully said, "You know, if those three Tower Masters target you, it’ll definitely be troublesome, even if you won’t die, you’ll be skinned."

Duan Yun, interested in this martial world knowledge, asked, "Are they that hard to deal with?"

"It’s more than being difficult to deal with, these three women’s ’Mirror Flower Water Moon’ and ’Star Shifting’ Immortal Laws are said to be so powerful that there’s no one in the world they can’t deceive. It won’t be easy to intimidate them with your reputation as Old Demon Duan. You should know that before, several young and promising Heavenly Prides from reputable sects, even two Young Sect Masters under the watch of their elders at their sects, were abducted and taken advantage of. It seems we three alone might not be enough to stand against them."

As a young, handsome hero, Duan Yun instinctively felt threatened.

Damn it, if he were to be kidnapped and dishonored, what then?

No, I must find a way to kill them all. Bah, slaughter them all.

So he couldn’t help but curiously ask, "The Tower Master of the Red House even abused the Heavenly Prides and Young Sect Masters of big sects, don’t those sects exterminate them?"

"They tried, but all failed," said Shen Ying.

"Failed? How can a united effort of great sects not bring down the Red House?" Duan Yun exclaimed in surprise.

"They couldn’t."

"Why?"

"Because the Red House is very powerful and terrifying in itself, a forbidden place for Jianghu people, and it doesn’t stay in one place."

"Huh?"

"The Red House, the most mysterious and terrifying building in the Martial World, never stays fixed in one place. Sometimes it is by the sea, sometimes on a mountain, sometimes on the outskirts of a city. By the time you gather your people, the Red House has already moved elsewhere.

The major sects have their own serious business to attend to; they can’t just drop everything, stop earning money, and go stake out a place, can they?"

Hearing this, Duan Yun exclaimed in surprise, "Is the Red House very small? It can be moved so easily?"

"The Red House is thirty-two floors high, each floor is extremely spacious, complete with front and back gardens. There are not many buildings in the world that can be larger than it."

"How does it move around?" Duan Yun asked, as curious as a child.

"Because it is a mansion that can move. The Red House Fairy kills and debauches, yet very few people dare to deny their title as fairies. This is because both their martial arts and the mansion are inconceivable, as if they do not belong to this mortal world."

"That vermillion-painted tall building, capable of vanishing overnight and then rebuilt in one night, is an existence even the Mo Sect cannot catch up with."

Listening to these tales, Duan Yun realized that the Martial World was deeper and more magical than he had imagined.

The Red House was also more formidable and trickier than he thought.

It seems that to exterminate all the Red House Fairies would be a huge undertaking. Firstly, the idea of perfecting my Divine Skill and then directly visiting to wipe them out cleanly is not feasible, because the Red House has no fixed sect entrance.

No wonder he never heard where the entrance of the Red House was located.

Old Demon Duan was grinding his teeth for a moment, then said, "Can’t find this, can’t handle that. Right, the Twelve Star Signs, with so many people, surely I can handle them, right? Especially that Zhu Heimian, who even declared they’d mess with me, I’ll show them. I’ll kill that Evil Demon and restore my reputation as a young hero."

Hearing him say this, Shen Ying and the Murong brothers were silent for a while.

Eventually, the Murong brothers tried to persuade him, "You should also be cautious with the Twelve Star Signs, right?"

Duan Yun defiantly said, "Who here do I not need to be cautious with?"

"There is no one," the Murong brothers replied decisively.

Duan Yun was speechless and said, "Am I, Young Hero Duan, really that poor?"

"You are not poor. The reputation of Old Demon Duan is even quite renowned, but after all, you are a newcomer. The reputation of the Twelve Star Signs was as prominent as yours a long time ago, even more prominent than yours. During the battle at the graveyard, your indiscriminate killing did not make it easy to kill the Peacock, right?" the Murong brothers said.

Duan Yun admitted honestly, "It wasn’t easy. If it weren’t for your help, I probably wouldn’t have been able to kill him at that time."

"The storytellers say that because the Twelve Star Signs were friends with the Peacock Demon, they want to clean you up. But I know another version, actually, the Peacock Demon is the concubine of the leader of the Twelve Star Signs, Shu Wuxin.

To put it another way, the Peacock Demon is their elder sister-in-law, and since you killed their elder sister-in-law, isn’t it reasonable for them to come after you?" the Murong brothers explained.

Duan Yun blinked and said, "Wait a minute. Although the Peacock Demon looks handsome, he is..."

"Right, he’s a man, a demon known for debauching women, notorious even among imperial concubines, someone like that wouldn’t like men. But still, he became Shu Wuxin’s concubine and was assaulted by him. What does that tell us?"

Duan Yun pondered and said, "It means he was forced, left with no choice."

From this, Duan Yun roughly understood the weight of the Twelve Star Signs. The Peacock Demon, who had been evenly matched with him, was forced to become a concubine to the rat, reluctantly violated by him.

It just goes to show how many Evil Demons there are in this world.

Duan Yun nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Once my sword is forged, I’ll take on the Twelve Star Signs."

Having said this, he left to practice his swordsmanship.

Shen Ying and the Murong brothers looked dumbfounded.

The Murong brothers couldn’t help saying, "Did I just hear wrong? After all I said, he wants to take on the Twelve Star Signs."

Shen Ying replied, "You heard correctly. I thought I was mishearing it myself."

"He’s so unreasonable," the Murong brothers complained.

Shen Ying answered, "Maybe it’s only someone as unreasonable as him, someone who turns a young hero into an old demon. Maybe it’s only someone like him who dares to take on the Twelve Star Signs."

...

At night, the Murong brothers were suddenly awakened by a commotion.

"Rotation!"

"Damn those nine layers of Spring Rain Rotation!"

Hearing this familiar phrase, the Murong brothers showed a look of terror, and with lifeless eyes, said, "It’s happening again?"
