Chapter 325: Chapter 224: Huang Mountain, the insurmountable mountain for Old Demon Duan forever! (Requesting subscriptions)_2

Listening to the storyteller’s nonsense, Duan Yun and the Murong brothers were somewhat surprised.

There were actually survivors.

The Evil Demons were indeed cunning; despite their numerous searches, some had still slipped through the net.

At this moment, someone in the audience said, "Old Demon Duan has only recently claimed the Qiongling Sect for himself and wiped out the Thunder God and Mother Sect; now he has also destroyed the Netherworld Mountain Villa. Does he really want to be the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch?"

The storyteller slammed his gavel and said, "Exactly! For those of us who can discern right from wrong, we know that Old Demon Duan is wreaking havoc in the Martial World. Whether it’s transforming the Qiongling Sect’s swordswoman into his private property, wiping out the honest Thunder Listening’s Thunder God and Mother Sect, or brutally murdering everyone in the Netherworld Mountain Villa, these are all disasters for the Martial World, tragedies indeed.

And yet today, there are those who are blind, revering the old demon, saying Old Demon Duan is Acting for Heaven, and they may actually push him to be the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch!"

Then, someone else in the audience said, "Except for turning the swordswoman into private property, those other sects that were exterminated didn’t have many good people to begin with. Take Netherworld Mountain Villa, as long as you provided enough silver, they’d kill innocent women, children, infants, even bystanders."

The storyteller became furiously angry, saying, "Who told you such nonsense! Have you not heard of eradicating the roots? Even the Emperor likes to execute the family unto the ninth degree. Being an assassin is not easy; if you don’t do a clean job, no one will hire you again, you might get a bad review and ruin your reputation."

The man replied, "The Great Hero Storyteller from the east of the city said it, they said Old Demon Duan is a true hero. When a hero arrives, justice prevails!"

"He’s not the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, then who is!"

The storyteller shouted, "So it’s a spy sent by a rival, get out!"

The man walked away grumbling, but the hearts of Duan Yun and the Murong brothers were already changing.

If they were a bit angry but numb when they heard the storyteller’s nonsense and slander,

After all, this is how Duan Yun has been slandered all along.

But at this moment, suddenly hearing someone defending them, praising them, it would be a lie to say they weren’t moved.

That can be called a spark in the darkness, not bright, but able to illuminate the path ahead and like a warm bosom in a snow-covered land, always providing comfort and warmth to the weary.

Just having the Great Hero Storyteller speak for them inspired them to intensify their efforts in acting heroically!

As idols, they absolutely couldn’t disappoint their fans!

If the world is filled with such filth, then they must overturn the entire world with their heroic spirit!

Both men were very excited, their hands clasped together, encouraging each other so much that bystanders thought they were being affectionate.

Listening to a story and generating such intense affection, these two men were really something.

At this moment, the storyteller coughed and said, "The disrupting contemporary has been chased away, everyone, continue to listen. For Old Demon Duan to be the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, it’s not so easy!"

A woman said, "Who can curb this scoundrel now? He has caused chaos in the Martial World for so long and has never been defeated; it’s truly disheartening."

The storyteller began, "Young lady, although Old Demon Duan, in alliance with Green Blade Demon, boldly causes disasters and wreaks havoc in the Martial World, making quite the commotion, in terms of prestige requisite for the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, he’s still not at the forefront."

"Is that so? I don’t believe it." the woman replied.

"Young lady, you truly should not bolster another’s ambition and deflate your own prestige. To elect a Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch that has been suspended for a century, the couple from Huangshan Sword Sect remain the most prestigious. With the emergence of the Azure Dragon, the Sect Leader’s Lady from Huangshan Sword Sect alone obtained two Dragon Essences and is said to have refined them, achieving the Supreme Divine Skill.

Later, many martial heroes who consumed Dragon Meat joined Huangshan Sword Sect. With an already solid foundation, Huangshan Sword Sect is now rising with the wind.

The Sect Leader’s Lady is viewed as the rightful recipient, Old Demon Duan’s current momentum can only stand aside."

"Old man, I’m telling you, Old Demon Duan cannot possibly handle Huangshan Sword Sect!"

"Huangshan is the insurmountable mountain that Old Demon Duan can never cross!"

The storyteller puffed out his chest and raised his head, speaking with a thumping conviction that drew applause from the crowd.

Duan Yun, thinking of the Huangshan Golden Sword in his bag, muttered, "Is that so?"

Upon seeing this, the Murong brothers asked, "You’re not seriously thinking about targeting Huangshan Sword Sect, are you?"

"You’re not really planning to become the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, are you?"

This only further excited the Murong brothers, one of them tightly clasping Duan Yun’s hand, saying, "If you become the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, wouldn’t I get to be the deputy?"

Duan Yun withdrew his hand and asked, "What good does being the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch do?"

"Of course, it does. It’s about reigning over the Martial World for generations."

"Really?" Duan Yun asked doubtfully.

The Murong brother explained, "If it were truly so, it wouldn’t have been vacant for over a hundred years. Look, the Martial World is still divided among various large clans and sects. If you become the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, sure, people will give you some face, but when it’s time to actually do something, who’s really willing to put in the effort?

But when someone faces difficulties and turns to you, the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, what will you do?"

"Nah."

"If you don’t help, then you’re not doing a good job as the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, you’re not being honorable."

"Who cares?"

"If you worry about it, you’ll end up entangled in trouble, like if someone’s problem is a lack of silver, do you lend it or not?"

Duan Yun pondered: "It seems that being the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch really is a hot potato."

Murong nodded and said, "Not just a hot potato, but being the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch comes with a curse."

"What curse?"

"It’s easy to die violently."

"The previous Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, Yue Bushan, mastered an unrivaled swordsmanship, ended up castrating himself, and under the pretext of uniting the five major Sword Sects as one family, he tried to forcibly merge them and dominate the Martial World. Just six months after coming into power, he was killed by his own wife."

"Killed by his wife?" Duan Yun exclaimed.

"Of course, with no manhood left, how could his wife be satisfied? Marital disharmony naturally leads to trouble. Ah, how can you not properly cherish a woman?" said Murong.

"In any case, it’s rare for the past Martial Arts Alliance Hierarchs to meet a good end; either they end up separated from wives and children, or at odds with brothers, resulting in a violent death."

"Everyone in the Martial World says it’s great to be the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch. With such a position, do you still want it?" murmured Murong meaningfully.

Duan Yun shook his head and said, "Of course not, but I’m a bit pissed off."

"Pissed off about what?"

"I already had some minor conflicts with a few from the Huangshan Sword Sect, and hearing that damn storyteller say I was inferior to them made me want to smack their faces hard. I wish I could make them kneel on the ground, searching for their teeth." Duan Yun thought aloud.

Of those who irritated him, he would thoroughly trounce them; that feeling really felt good.

Murong hurriedly said, "Duan, you shouldn’t take this personally."

Thinking it over, Duan Yun waved his hand and said, "You’re right, all the evil and heretical forces in this world deserve to die, but as of now, I haven’t heard anything particularly evil about the Huangshan Sword Sect. At most, we just have a few differences, no need to wipe them out."

"Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle..."

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly, laughter rang out.

Duan Yun and Murong looked up to see a group of people who had gathered nearby.

Caught up in their conversation, Murong was explaining things passionately, naturally attracting a crowd.

Then, the man who was laughing hardest, holding onto a woman, said to Duan Yun, "Go on, go on."

"Wang, what’s so funny?"

At that moment, a middle-aged man approached.

"Hahaha... Mr. Li, come over here, you’ve got to hear this. Someone’s playing the role of Old Demon Duan and even talking about wiping out the Huangshan Sword Sect’s whole family!"

With these words, the whole crowd burst into even louder laughter.

"What, wiping out the Huangshan Sword Sect’s whole family? That’s terrifying?"

That middle-aged man, also one who loved spectacles, touched Duan Yun’s hair and said, "Look at his split ends, in this day and age, you think looking slightly handsome qualifies you to impersonate Old Demon Duan?

Old Zhang from next door at least carries both sword and saber, the Dual Masters of Sword and Saber. Where are your sword and saber?"

Seeing this, the man turned to Murong and said, "If he’s Old Demon Duan, based on your look, aren’t you the Green Blade Demon?"

"What do you think?"

Murong tossed his hair.

Just then, with a snap, a cold wind suddenly sprang up in the room, sending the man flying out.

The group stood frozen.

After a long moment, they looked outside at the fallen Mr. Li and then at Murong’s swaying green hair, and couldn’t help but scream.

"Ah!!!"

"Green Saber, the Green Blade Demon!"

Three of them ran away in terror, while two others fainted from shock.

Murong couldn’t help but mutter, "Has our reputation really come to the point of knocking people out cold?"

Duan Yun retorted, "Your reputation, not mine."
