“Earlier, the Crimson Water Gang offended them, and the gang leader's head was hung at the dock for ten days! The officials at Green Crow Dock didn't dare to interfere, and could only let them do as they pleased. Previously, some officials even reported this matter to the Emperor, but it is said that the old official has already been demoted back to his hometown by the Emperor. Alas, it's difficult.”
“So, if you want to stay in the Imperial City, please don't provoke the God-Worshipping Society. Otherwise, you might lose your money at best, or your life at worst.”
After the waiter finished speaking, he pinched the silver and left. Leaving Jiang Wen looking at the God-Worshipping Society followers disappearing into the distance through the window, his gaze as deep and still as a pool.
Li Xiangyue, who was beside him, also heard these things, and her face still held a look of shock. She had lived in the Imperial City for so long, but had never heard of a cult that disregarded human life so much.
She secretly looked at Jiang Wen, seeing that he seemed to be lost in thought. Li Xiangyue asked with curiosity: “Brother Jiang, do you also know this God-Worshipping Society?”
“I know them.” Jiang Wen smiled at her. “Back in the city, I even dealt with them.”
Recalling the events of the past, he didn't expect so many troubles to occur later.
He once thought that the God-Worshipping Society would disappear, but he didn't expect them to appear in the Imperial City of Da Gan, truly, the world is unpredictable.
“Then they are very troublesome?” Li Xiangyue said worriedly.
“Why do you think so?”
“Just now, the waiter mentioned the God-Worshipping Society, and you, Brother Jiang, seemed to be deep in thought, looking as if you had a feud with this God-Worshipping Society, that's why you looked like that.” Li Xiangyue spoke seriously, and Jiang Wen secretly praised the girl's quick wit after hearing it.
After the two finished eating, they left the restaurant. Just as they stepped out of the door, Jiang Wen saw a crowd of people gathered in the distance. Walking over to listen, it turned out that people from the God-Worshipping Society were beating up a merchant.
Listening to the people around, the merchant was unwilling to do business with the God-Worshipping Society, so they came to his door.
Hearing this, Jiang Wen tapped his sleeve, and a small twig extended to his ear.
As if someone was whispering, he nodded slightly.
Looking again at the crowd, the people of the God-Worshipping Society were arrogant and domineering.
“Old man, don't you even look to see who your grandfather is! You're being evasive about doing business with you. Are you looking down on us, the God-Worshipping Society?!”
“Let's see how beautiful your wife is, don't let grandpa do something he shouldn't.”
The young man was very arrogant, daring to threaten the merchant in public. However, the onlookers dared not speak, only daring to be angry but not daring to speak out.
The young man was being rampant, when suddenly he felt a gust of cold wind blow past. Then, his expression became confused, and his eyes turned bloodshot as he looked at his companions.
“Ah! Go to hell!” He punched his companion, causing the man's nose to bleed. Then, the people of the God-Worshipping Society fell into chaos, punching and kicking each other. Such a crazy appearance stunned the onlookers, who all shouted that someone was possessed by an evil spirit.
Only Jiang Wen coldly watched the few people, stroking his sleeve and leaving with Li Xiangyue.
Several constables arrived after hearing the news, brushing past Jiang Wen.
“They won't live past three days.” Ziyun said softly in his ear. “These few people have committed many evils, and all have human lives on their hands. I summoned the wronged souls to seek revenge, and they will definitely have no way to escape.”
“Well done.” Jiang Wen praised.
The scene just now was what he had Ziyun do, it was just a small trick of bewitchment, which was easy for Ziyun to do.
Adding the wronged souls seeking revenge, these few people's good days are coming to an end. How many days they can live depends on how many days their lives can last.
Moreover, these few people seem to be just small fries in the God-Worshipping Society, and they can't invite the cultivators of the Life Fire Dao Palace to help them resolve their difficulties.
Finishing one thing, Jiang Wen and Li Xiangyue headed towards the Imperial City.
After walking for less than half an hour, the magnificent city walls appeared in front of them.
These city walls were majestic, standing under them was like arriving at the foot of a high mountain. Just looking up, one could see the sky-covering and sun-obscuring heights.
The high walls reached into the clouds, and the end was nowhere to be seen. It was hard to imagine what kind of power in this world could break through these city walls.
At the gate, a team of guards examined the documents.
Although there were eight long lines, they were still crowded.
Jiang Wen was among them, slowly heading towards the city gate.
When the guard wanted to see his documents, he simply took out a token from his storage bag.
“A token from the Tai Shen Palace?” The guard widened his eyes, flipped through it a few times, and quickly respectfully handed it back to Jiang Wen.
Then he had people open a convenient passage and respectfully invited the two in.
When he came back, a guard curiously asked him who he was, and he just glared at his colleague and said: “Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, that's a big shot.”
Jiang Wen entered the Imperial City and put away the token.
This thing was given to him by Li Yunshang, saying that when he comes to the Imperial City in the future, he can use this thing as a proof.
Unexpectedly, it came in handy today.
Beside him, Li Xiangyue was a little nervous, after all, if they didn't have documents, the two of them would have to be taken for questioning. If someone recognized her identity, then she would be in trouble.
Fortunately, the immortal's methods were mysterious, and he was able to make the guards respectful.
“We are going to stay in the Imperial City for a few days, do you have any good places to go?” Jiang Wen looked at the towering buildings of the Imperial City and asked Li Xiangyue.
“I, I don't really know either.” Li Xiangyue shook her head. “But I heard people say that if you want to travel around the Imperial City, it's best to find a 'traveling house' to live in.”
“Traveling house?” Jiang Wen asked curiously.
“Traveling houses refer to ordinary people's homes.” Li Xiangyue said. “It's just that because the Imperial City is too big, if you are not a local, staying in a restaurant will only leave you not knowing where to go. So, some people in the Imperial City use their homes as shelters, inviting merchants and travelers to live there, and also lead them around, so that the travelers don't know where to go.”
“I see.” After hearing this, Jiang Wen suddenly understood. This traveling house is a combination of a tour guide and a homestay.
The reason is also because the Imperial City is too big, and if people who come here don't have a local guide, it's easy to get lost.
So, living in a local's home can solve both the accommodation problem and the tour guide problem.
Sure enough, different places can develop different industries, and the vastness of the Imperial City can also give birth to such things.
So, following Li Xiangyue's guidance, the two quickly found accommodation from a brokerage firm.
The person who came to receive them was a young man wearing a blue shirt, named Chang Nian. Looking at his dress, he looked like a scholar.
“Honored guests.” Chang Nian saluted Jiang Wen. “Please come this way.”
“We'll be troubling you these days.” Jiang Wen was also polite and gave him some deposit.
The young man put it away with a smile, his emotions obviously relaxed a lot, it could be seen that he was very short of money, and Jiang Wen's actions were like giving him emergency relief.
The three walked all the way, and Chang Nian told Jiang Wen about his situation.
It turned out that he was really a scholar, but some things happened in his family, so he transformed into a traveling house to earn some money to support his family.
Arriving at Chang Nian's house, they saw a woman holding a child standing at the door. Her eyes were red and her face was tearful. Seeing Chang Nian coming back, she hurried over.
“Husband! It's bad, husband!”
Chang Nian's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly pulled the woman and asked: “What happened?”
“People from the God-Worshipping Society delivered a message to our house, boo hoo hoo.”
“What!!” Chang Nian was shocked.
