Chapter 99: Martial Supervisor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Chu Qing drove out of the World Treasures Auction House, it was already past eleven at night. He had been out for so long and wondered if his father had found out. Chu Qing felt a little guilty.

However, when Chu Qing thought of his experience at the auction tonight, he did not regret it. Although he did not buy anything, he had already achieved his goal.

He had personally confirmed that all the precious materials and treasures in this world were not much different from the cultivation world. Moreover, the martial artists in this world were very similar to the cultivation world. In addition, he had also discovered a piece of Tao metal. This could be said to be his greatest gain tonight.

If he could obtain that Tao metal and resolve the matter of the scabbard, then it was time for him to think about forming a faction, like the World Treasures Auction House or the Ye family.

This was because, in this life, he was no longer the lone sword cultivator who had nothing to worry about. He had family, friends, and women. If he wanted to protect what he cared about, one person’s strength was far from enough.

As Chu Qing drove along the deserted main road, his mind was occupied with thoughts. He realized that this road, despite being rarely used by others, served as a convenient shortcut between his family and the World Treasures Auction House. It was a hidden gem that he had unintentionally discovered.historical

In order to save time, Chu Qing had taken this road when he came. What he did not notice was that when he turned into this road, a sign had been erected by the roadside at some point.

Construction ahead. Please take a detour.

As Chu Qing continued driving on the deserted main road, he didn’t notice any signs of construction or any apparent reason for its closure. He began to wonder if he had missed something or if someone was playing a prank on him. It seemed strange that just three hours ago, the road was perfectly fine, and now it appeared closed. Chu Qing couldn’t help but feel a sense of skepticism and thought that perhaps it was just a ghostly trick or a practical joke.

However, reality proved that this prank was a little scary. Chu Qing entered the path for a hundred meters. An oppressive coldness attacked him, and Chu Qing was instantly alert.

Chu Qing felt something was wrong. He had been through countless life-and-death situations, which sharpened his instincts. He had an uncanny ability to sense danger, and he had never been wrong before.

Chu Qing slowed down and drove the car to the side of the road. He stuck to the yellow road sign and slowly drove forward. With every meter he drove, Chu Qing’s expression became more and more serious.

He thought about it carefully. He had not been in this world for long and did not have any mortal enemies. If he had to find one, could it be related to the Li family? Was it someone from the Quan Zhen Sect who had kidnapped Ye Chenxi and was killed by him?

The more Chu Qing thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Those guys from the Quan Zhen Sect said that their senior would avenge them. Chu Qing parked the car by the roadside, pushed open the car door, and got out. If that was the case, he had no choice but to wait solemnly.

This was the first time Chu Qing had encountered such a strong sense of danger in this world. He restrained his aura and hid in the shadows beside the road. He fused with the darkness and silently sneaked toward the source of the danger.

He had done this countless times in his previous life and was already familiar with it. Chu Qing had never thought of dodging. He could run, but he could not hide. For the safety of others, he had to block the danger in front of him.

As Chu Qing approached one of the emergency lanes, he noticed a scene that differed from his initial expectations. Two groups of people stood facing each other on the wide lane. One group, led by a white-haired old man, was dressed extravagantly, consisting of six individuals. It was evident that they had recently left the auction.

On the other side, there was only one person. His entire body was wrapped in a purple robe with golden edges. Even his face could not be seen clearly, but the deterrence emitted by that person’s eyes hidden under the robe was enough to make Chu Qing prepare for battle.

This person posed a greater threat to Chu Qing than the six of them combined. After pricking up his ears and stopping for a while, Chu Qing roughly understood what was going on.

Chu Qing’s grin faded as he realized that the security in this world was not as reliable as he had initially assumed. Despite the differences between the cultivation world and this world, he now saw that crime and violence still existed here. The prospect of killing and robbing seemed to be a distinct possibility, shattering his previous notion of better security.

Those six people were from the ancient martial arts Ma family in Lin City. They had come to Jinmen to participate in the auction tonight, but on their way back, they were lured here by the person in the purple robe.

Chu Qing’s attention was immediately piqued upon hearing the mention of a martial overseer. The title sounded unfamiliar, and he quickly recalled the conversation he had with Ye Chenxi about the Tang family’s internal conflicts and the involvement of martial overseers. It seemed that this purple-robed individual could be one of them.

The police couldn’t interfere with the matters of the ancient martial arts families, and the empire had set up a special department to supervise martial artists. Now, it seemed that this martial arts overseer was from that department.

“Are you planning to kill and rob? As far as I know, this is against the rules, right?” The Ma Family’s old man questioned the Martial Supervisor. They had also been bewitched by the other party’s identity, which was why they had been tricked into coming to this place. The old man was also anxious.

“Hehe. I’m here because of the order.” The Martial Supervisor’s voice was a little sinister, making one’s hair stand on end.

The rules were equivalent to the laws of the secular world. They were specially set by the empire for martial artists. The Martial Supervisor’s actions were clearly against the law and violated the rules. Chu Qing, who didn’t know anything in the past, could tell this, let alone the Ma family.

Curiosity got the better of Chu Qing, and he decided to stay and observe the situation. He wanted to understand what the Martial Supervisor was referring to and why it seemed to puzzle everyone present. Perhaps there was some valuable information or an opportunity that he could seize in this unexpected turn of events. Chu Qing positioned himself at a safe distance, ready to observe and analyze the unfolding scene.

In the future, he would have to live in this world and interact with Martial Supervisors and ancient martial arts families. It was inevitable that he would have to know more about them. Therefore, he was definitely going to watch this scene tonight..
