Chapter 800: Bleeding

Unprepared, Meng Yun was at a disadvantage throughout the verbal battle orchestrated by Kai Xin. With his clever tactics, Kai Xin used the label of “master trainer of the Dragon Gate” and the hidden threat of “Huang Sha” to firmly control the conversation, preventing Meng Yun, who carried the spirits of over 300 victims, from taking action.

Neither side openly clashed:
Meng Yun refused to admit he had known about the trainer’s arrival in advance;
Kai Xin, however, insisted he was there to avenge the trainer;
Both were waiting for the other to make a mistake!

Unfortunately, each side had its own concerns.

When Meng Yun, growing impatient, gritted his teeth, held back his anger, and turned to leave, Kai Xin shamelessly brought up the incident of Huang Sha provoking the Mu family, using this to further pressure Meng Yun despite already having the upper hand:
“I don’t know how deep Huang’s hatred for the Mu family goes, but since my Mu family disciples have been insulted, it’s my responsibility to restore justice for them!”
At that point, Kai Xin stopped…

Meng Yun and his group’s expressions instantly changed.
Xie Lang and the Monk with Thick brows looked grim, so frustrated they felt like vomiting.
The most skilled warrior in the Central Plains already made them too cautious to act rashly, forcing them to behave like sheep. Now, the other side kept pushing further, seizing every opportunity. In an instant, they felt a suffocating sense of powerlessness and helplessness.

“…The incident at the Mu family’s branch temple was indeed the fault of our Vice Hall Master Huang. Even if he wants to take personal revenge, it shouldn’t be right at the entrance of their branch temple. I think he should just compensate those Mu family disciples with some money and equipment,” Zhou Yu said, noticing Meng Yun was getting angry, and spoke up first.

“Anyway, I’ve already obtained some things from many of your disciples this time, which can somewhat make up for it. Forget money and equipment—Vice Hall Master Huang, just give each of them a ‘Life and Death Dream Pill’ as compensation…”

Kai Xin’s shameless words nearly made Meng Yun and the others spit blood.
They had seen despicable people before, but never someone this despicable!!!
Over 300 victims’ loot, and he barely claimed it could cover the losses of just a few people!
A few ordinary Mu family disciples died, and he wanted expensive “Life and Death Dream Pills” as compensation?!
“Thirteen pills in total—nothing much for the First Rank Hall. I wonder if Vice Hall Master Huang will deliver them now or go get them later…” Kai Xin’s aggressive tone made Meng Yun and the others realize what it meant to be the “number one claimant in the Central Plains.”

But Mengyun wouldn’t go so far as to continue clashing with Kai Xin over those thirteen Life and Death Dream Pills, let alone ruin their relationship… She also didn’t care to keep arguing with Kai Xin about exactly how many people had been killed. All she wanted now was to leave this damned place as soon as possible.
“The Life and Death Dream Pills will arrive soon.”
“That’s good. I trust Master Meng’s reputation; she definitely won’t cheat us with such things… By the way, get those people from Longmen out as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they accidentally cause trouble for the First Rank Hall again, how could I feel at ease?”
Kai Xin’s clear voice came from behind her. Mengyun, who was about to turn away, stumbled.
“Let’s go!”
The members of the First Rank Hall arrived with fierce momentum and left in a rage! On the streets, everyone could see that the First Rank Hall had suffered a complete defeat in these negotiations. Standing on the steps, Kai Xin watched Mengyun and the others leave with a mocking look, finally showing a hint of relief. With Longmen’s group dealt with this time, the First Rank Hall probably wouldn’t dare risk keeping any more people from Longmen around…
With the experts from the Mu Family entering the capital, those from Longmen wouldn’t dare stay near the capital or in the north either—they would either set sail or wait for another opportunity.
Moreover…
This time, the First Rank Hall lost thirteen “Life and Death Dream Pills” at once, plus the over thirty pills they had paid for earlier from Longmen… If they used them on a large scale again, the First Rank Hall likely wouldn’t have many left in stock.
“With the border war approaching, Mengyun will surely keep some Life and Death Dream Pills for emergencies. It will be difficult for Longmen to provide more… Not to mention they still need to be wary of my Mu Family…”
After calculating this, Kai Xin felt relieved. For the next month, Longmen wouldn’t pose a threat to the Mu Family. After tonight, the experts from the Mu Family, the Xiyi Gate, and many powerful warriors from the Central Plains would head north to the battlefield, leaving the First Rank Hall even less daring to act rashly.
The deterrence effect in the capital had been fully achieved. Now, it was time to go all out and head to the border to prepare for the majorplot mission to assist there!
…
That night, the capital quickly became bustling! As more and more famous warriors from the Dragon and Phoenix Ranks, as well as those on the List of Notable Figures and the List of Evil Demons, flocked to the capital from all over, the streets were filled with martial arts experts. From time to time, one could see familiar solo warriors or groups of powerful fighters speeding past the streets. More experts meant peak popularity and business!
All the major gangs and players in the capital rushed to secure prime locations in the market, hoping to take advantage of the popularity brought by these rareplot missions to make a fortune.

In the market, various cries and calls echoed back and forth, even more lively than during the New Year:
“Hey! Wealthy patrons, don’t miss out! High-defense Level 4 equipment—only one piece available. It’ll make you excel in missions and earn lots of points…”
“Border map—only for those who understand. Cheapskates, stay away!”
“Fighting against Mongol cavalry? You need a good bow! Top-tier bow with 500 attack power and super fast attack speed. Can be folded and used as a unique weapon. Selling it cheaply—just two million! Three black-iron armor-piercing arrows included!”
“Damn, what kind of junk is this? How dare you charge so much!”
“Don’t want it? Get lost!”
“Looking to buy ‘Little Li’s Flying Knife.’ Price is negotiable. Let’s discuss in secret via carrier pigeon.”

After meeting Yinhu, Mo Mo, Xiao Bei, Daozi, and others, Kai Xin entered the market. The intense noise there almost blew his ears off.
To be honest, in his past life, Kai Xin never frequented the market because he didn’t need much equipment. This time, since establishing the Mu Family, he had rarely gone to the market, as the external equipment couldn’t compare to the high-quality products produced by the Mu Family. For example, many players were still at the Level 3 equipment stage, while Level 4 elite equipment remained rare and a symbol of mastery. But in Kai Xin’s eyes, only top-tier weapons of Levels 3 and 4 could catch his interest slightly.
There were countless sets of Level 4, top-tier elite equipment stored in the Mu Family’s secret vault, which could be retrieved as needed. There were also no less than fifty Level 4 divine and magical weapons… and even more below that level…
As for martial arts manuals, Kai Xin needed top-grade ones at the Liberation Realm level. These usually only dropped from those at the peak of the Non-Action Realm—something ordinary people could never possess, let alone find in the market.
But in the capital, where powerful warriors from all over gathered, Kai Xin was still very interested in seeing rare treasures. Maybe he could find some treasures from his past memories. Even if he didn’t use them himself, enriching the Mu Family’s vault would be good!
