Chapter 791: Shattering the Peace of the Capital

The body trembled!
A yellow sword beam pierced through Huang Sha’s body…
The words that were about to be spoken were swallowed back into Huang Sha’s stomach along with a casual sword strike from Kai Xin. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Kai Xin, who was over twenty meters away.
Silence descended once again in the alley…
Everyone held their breath, staring dumbfounded at Huang Sha, who continued moving forward as if he were made of wood, unable to utter a word.
The first to react were the disciples of Yipin Tang who were by Huang Sha’s side. After being pushed back by him, they had only felt a destructive sword intent, and then Deputy Head Huang had done nothing further…
“…”
Finally, someone realized something was wrong. When they reacted, they stepped forward and glanced at Huang Sha’s side. His face was blurred, with a huge blood hole appearing between his eyebrows.
At the same time, those behind them finally saw blood flowing from Huang Sha’s back of the head…
“…”
The crowd was stunned, unable to speak for a long time.
…
Kai Xin, as if it were a trivial matter, simply said, “Desiring death wholeheartedly—just as you wished.” Then, with the system’s announcement of his victory in the duel, he turned away resolutely.
Wherever he passed, martial artists hurriedly stepped aside to let him through.
“Tell your headmaster that I’ll be in the capital these next few days. If you want to find me, go to Bai Xiaosheng’s residence.” A provocative voice came from the end of the alley, reaching the ears of the people from Yipin Tang and Jian Piao.
The crowd’s mouths twitched as they exchanged glances!
Although the members of other gangs in the alley were somewhat pleased to see Huang Sha suffer, they didn’t dare laugh in front of Yipin Tang. But behind their backs, discussions were inevitable:
“He still dares to trouble Kai Xin? Right now, the strongest in Yipin Tang is Huang Sha. Even masters like Jian Piao and Huang Sha combined aren’t Kai Xin’s match. It’s already a humiliation for Yipin Tang. How could Meng Yun still go after him?”
“Hehe, exactly. Who would offer their other cheek after being slapped on the left?”
“The Lingxiao Palace has been utterly defeated and can’t even hold their head up. Only Yipin Tang still dares to oppose the Mu family. Now that Kai Xin is actively seeking trouble, let’s see how Yipin Tang handles it.”
“Actively seeking trouble? I don’t think so. If he really wanted trouble, he wouldn’t be here. There are plenty of places outside the city or at Yipin Tang’s headquarters.”

As the crowd stared at each other in confusion, a cheerful voice came from somewhere in the distance, clear and audible: “That’s right! It’s impolite not to return a gift. Last time, Huang Sha gave a generous gift to the Mu family, and Happy intends to return the favor… If Master Mengyun doesn’t have time, Happy doesn’t mind going ahead and delivering it personally to show his sincerity.”
Boom!!!
In the alley, hundreds of martial arts experts who had come here upon hearing the news were instantly ignited by these words.
If what came before was just verbal provocation, this statement was brimming with hostility and directness. Even if Yipin Tang wanted to escape, it was no longer possible.
Sure enough!
Many noticed that after Happy spoke those words, the experts from Yipin Tang immediately changed their expressions, turned around without a word, and disappeared into the crowd.
“Heh, Yipin Tang is in trouble now…”
“Exactly.”
“I thought Huang Sha was so formidable after learning the ‘Great Heaven and Earth Shift,’ but he’s completely insignificant in front of Happy…”
“He even went to the Mu family’s branch to kill people in a show of pride—now he must be regretting it to the core.”
“…It seems the ‘Great Heaven and Earth Shift’ might indeed have evolved from the ‘Stars in Motion’ technique. Tsk tsk.”
After much discussion, the crowd gradually left the alley. By then, few people were still mentioning Ren Jie, who had suddenly appeared, nor was there anyone talking about Ximen Chuixue.
The news that Happy had defeated Huang Sha and Jian Piao and was ready to confront Yipin Tang personally spread quickly throughout the entire capital, causing a great stir!
An atmosphere of unease enveloped the whole city!
“Hei, have you heard?”
In teahouses, taverns, and streets, the same news was circulating everywhere:
“Word is Happy has given Yipin Tang an ultimatum—unless they explain what happened at the Mu family’s branch, he’ll go to their main headquarters in person…”
“Nonsense.”
“All the taverns near Yipin Tang’s main headquarters are now fully booked. Damn it, even the window seats are packed.”
“Haven’t Happy shown up yet?”
“That’s right. These guys just love causing trouble.”
…
“Yipin Tang is in big trouble this time!”
“Happy went to Yangzhou alone some time ago, and as a result, the Lingxiao Palace’s main headquarters was destroyed, and out of over a hundred branches, less than ten remain… This time… heh…”
“Impossible. Yipin Tang has so many strong experts.”
“Isn’t the Lingxiao Palace strong? It still got wiped out completely, leaving them speechless.”

“Well, I guess the situation in the north will also change. If Happy really takes action, he’ll unite local gangs, the Xiyi Gate, the Fengyu Alliance, the Xifeng Tower…”
…
“Is Happy alone enough to challenge the headquarters of Yipin Tang?”
“Impossible! Even if given a hundred times the courage, he’ll still die!”
“You know very well how strong Yipin Tang is. Can those two women from Lingxiao Palace compare?”
“What if Huangsha loses? Happy is alone, but Mengyun, Huangsha, Xueyi, Zhou Yu, Jianpiao—each of them is a top expert.”
“Besides, no matter how skilled he is, he’ll get tired eventually.”
…
“It’s probably just to intimidate Yipin Tang.”
“I don’t think Happy’s that crazy.”
“That’s right. Yipin Tang’s foundation as a gang can’t be destroyed by one person. It might take days of fighting to even weaken it.”
“I guess it’s to prepare for the ‘Imperial Edict’ mission for the Mu family… to warn Yipin Tang in advance…”
“Fighting? They probably can’t win.”
…
All sorts of discussions arose in the capital city. Everyone was guessing how Yipin Tang would handle the situation, and some were worried that Happy’s attack on Yipin Tang was aimed at eliminating the last major rival in the Central Plains martial world, preparing to unify it. But the culprit who disrupted the peace in the capital arrived early at Bai Xiaosheng’s residence, where he drank heartily with him face to face. Bai Xiaosheng’s disciples sat nearby, staring curiously at this young man who could shake the entire Central Plains martial world with his presence.
“Great wine!”
“Ha… I haven’t drunk like this in ages. It feels so good.” Happy put down his large bowl, took a deep sip, and relieved the heat in his stomach. The Jiuyang Divine Skill was also excellent at sobering one up—no matter how much he drank, he wouldn’t get drunk.
“Then drink more,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, raising his cup. “So you won’t go out fighting for no reason. The whole capital has turned into chaos because of you… By the way, last time you told me you’d only deal with Lingxiao Palace this time and not get involved with Yipin Tang.”
Happy smiled mysteriously: “One thing at a time!”
After a pause, his tone turned serious: “It’s not yet time for a full-scale confrontation with Yipin Tang, but I can’t ignore what Huangsha has done to the Mu family. Coincidentally, war with the border is just two days away. If that woman Mengyun doesn’t make me suffer some losses, it wouldn’t be wrong to take advantage of the situation and destroy her headquarters.”
“Suffer losses?” Bai Xiaosheng was slightly stunned, having misinterpreted things.
