Chapter 8 Reputation

  It is now in the cold winter season, and the cold winter of this continent is even colder. However, the cold outside is nothing compared to the chill in the heart of this general at this moment.

  "Is that Tong Qing? It's actually him!!!"

  The general's body was trembling uncontrollably, a physical reaction to extreme fear. "The master said that Sun Qing Mountain is a congenital Jindan-level martial saint. Moreover, even the great elder of the Shanghang clan showed him great respect. Even Lei Dao Martial Saint wasn't his match!"

  "What have I done to offend him?" The general was shocked.

  The entire Duanmu continent has a population of only 200-300 million, how many innate Golden Elixir cultivators can there be?

  According to the ratio, Yangzhou Qinghu Island and Guiyuan Sect, the number of Xiantian Jindan added up is almost ten. The strong Xiantian Jindan on this Duomu Continent, even if counted openly or secretly, are only a handful! And in the world, there are dozens of powerful families, and many more hidden ones.

  Claiming to be the champion of all ethnic groups!

  Congenital Golden Elixir is just that, and most of it has been monopolized by superpowers like the Xuanye Merchant Group and the Tianfeng Family! Some so-called big families, like the Fang family of Danyang City, the Wang family and the Murong family of Nanshan City, are lucky if they have one or two Martial Saints. Don't even think about Congenital Golden Elixir Martial Saints!

  That is to say - Innate Golden Elixir Martial Saint, has the complete ability to assassinate the master of a large family and then leave calmly! Even the so-called War God's number one strongman, Great Elder Teng Qing Shan, had to treat him equally! As early as after the auction, his information was quickly controlled by various large families! He was designated as - an untouchable person!

  "Mr. Deng! Mr. Deng!"

  The general bowed respectfully.

  "A single voice 'Mr. Teng', in the open space in front of Tianjiazhuang, thousands of soldiers and nearly a thousand Tianjiazhuang villagers were all stunned."

  Hong Qing Mountain sat on Chi Feng Zhan Yu.

  "Mr. Teng, I didn't know you...". Before he could finish his sentence, his son who was already on the ground poked him gently and whispered: "Dad, hurry up and get off the horse before talking."

  This general was completely frightened before, and he immediately came to his senses, and rolled down from the war chariot with a loud rumble.

  "Mr. Teng..." The general had just begun speaking.

  "I've told you, leave within the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, or else all officers will be sold into slavery. Half the time has already passed..." Teng Qing Shan said calmly.

  The general woke up immediately and shouted: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly!"

  The other completely covered soldiers, although they didn't understand why the young man riding on the Red Wind Warhorse was who he was, also guessed that he was a super strong expert.

  "Drive!" "Drive!" Everyone fled rapidly one by one, and for a time thousands of camels galloped, causing the earth to shake.

  "You, and... you, the two of you stay behind." Teng Qing Shan pointed at the three people, who were the general and that hundred-man squad captain.

  "Yes." The general was very respectful.

  How dare he be disrespectful?

  General? Some big families, a thousand people make up one camp, and the leader of one camp can be called 'Assistant General', and his subordinates also respectfully call him 'General'. No matter whether he is an Assistant General or a higher-ranking General, ordinary soldiers can flatteringly shout him as 'General'.

  What is a mere battalion commander in front of an Innate Golden Dan strong practitioner?

  Even Wang's family master 'Wang Meng' has to respectfully call out "Tun Sir"! When calling Fu Dao, they have to call him "Fu Sir"!

  It can be said that the Innate Golden Elixir is strong, completely surpassing ordinary family heads. Of course, facing the likes of the Xuanye Merchant Group and the Tianfeng Family, an Innate Golden Elixir cultivator would have to show some deference.

  Unfortunately, he was just a battalion officer.

  "You scoundrel, don't you kneel down and apologize to Mr. Fu!" The general walked over and kicked the hundred-man squad leader with one foot, causing the leader to fall head-first into the snow, getting a mouthful of accumulated snow.

  "What's wrong with you, still staring blankly like that?!" The general kicked again in anger!

  At the same time, General Lian Gong respectfully bowed to Teng Qing Shan: "Mr. Teng, I was too lenient with my subordinates and allowed this young man to offend you. Please instruct me on how to punish him!"

  "Mr. Teng, Mr. Teng."

  The captain finally woke up with a start, and knelt down on the snowy ground, "It was I who offended you, sir! Spare my life, spare my life!" At this moment, his heart was filled with fear. He knew that in these chaotic times, to curry favor with some extremely powerful individuals, those family heads would often send their concubines to them as gifts. If they could give away their own women, what did a mere captain of a hundred-man squad count for?

  "Are you begging for mercy?" Teng Qing Shan looked at him, "You were so arrogant before."

  The captain was so frightened that his body trembled slightly.

  "You scoundrel." The general kicked him again.

  "I ask you, this taxation, why is it collected so many times?" Tan Qing Shan frowned and said.

  The general respectfully said, "Sir, now in the Nan Shan city area, there are three big families, all of them have troops, fighting everywhere, and they all want silver. So... everyone collects taxes. This way, they collect a total of three times!"

  "I heard them say it's the fourth time," Teng Qing Shan continued to ask.

  "The family-controlled areas are vast, and the troops are limited. Each team is divided to collect taxes separately. Sometimes... problems also arise, and repeated taxation occurs." The general bowed his head and said.

  Hong Qingshan sighed secretly after hearing this.

  When the world is in chaos, it's always the people at the bottom who suffer the most.

  Like the vast lands of Kyushu, the eight major sects stood tall and proud. Although the world was in chaos, the extent of the chaos was not great. However, this Du Mu continent was different. With a population much smaller than that of Kyushu, there were numerous ethnic groups vying for dominance over the world. The lives of the poor people at the bottom of society could be imagined.

  "As I said before, around Shen Axe Mountain village, I don't want to see any troops coming to disturb this peace." Teng Qing Shan ordered.

  "Yes." The general bowed his head, but then looked up nervously and said, "Sir, we didn't come, but there are two other families."

  "I'll take care of this." Teng Qing Shan waved his hand, "You guys go ahead."

  The general and the captain, one bowed and the other nodded, then quickly mounted their warhorses, whipped them hard, and the two horses galloped away!

  The group of people from Tianjiazhuang, who were originally in a state of terror and fear, stared blankly at this scene. Over a thousand soldiers had actually been scared away just like that, and the general who was high above, as well as the hundred-man squad leader who was previously arrogant, were trembling with fear in front of this mysterious young man.

  "Ah Shou, go to war." Teng Qing Shan ordered.

  "Yes, teacher."

  Teng Beast immediately jumped onto Chi Feng's war chariot.

  "Two nobles!" The old tribal leader of the Tian family, with a face full of joy and respect, said nervously, "Two nobles, this old fool didn't know your identities earlier, please don't mind. Two nobles, why not rest for a moment inside my manor?"

  This old patriarch of the Tian family understood in his heart: "From what they said earlier, even those three big families that are high above don't dare to offend that young man with a gun. If... if I can get my Tian family to have a relationship with him... it would be best if he could take a liking to one of the girls from my village. He becomes my son-in-law, and who will still dare to come collect taxes? Who will still dare to provoke my Tian family?"

  "When the time comes, our Tian family's sons will also live a good life."

  "After that, I reckon all the girls from the various big farms will want to marry into our Tian family farm. If such a day really comes, even if I die later, it would be worth it for the ancestors of the Tian family."

  The ancestors of the Tian family knew how terrifying a chaotic world could be, so they especially wanted to get along well with the young man holding a gun in front of them.

  "It's all right." Teng Qing Shan waved his hand.

  "Ah Shou, thank you." The simple and honest farm girl shouted repeatedly.

  The monster sat on the war chariot, smiling foolishly at the peasant girl: "No, thank you, no thank you." He stuttered as he spoke.

  "Go!" Ting Qing Shan gave the order.

  The two-headed warhorse immediately galloped away and soon disappeared into the distance.

  As soon as Hong Qingshan and his men left, the empty space in front of Tianjia Village erupted into a commotion. Everyone had been extremely tense before, but now the people of Tianjia Village, especially those whose wives had been taken away, were overjoyed. Children hugged their mothers, young men hugged their wives, and old couples hugged their daughters.

  "Mother!"

  "Wife!"

  Excited cries and sobs continued to ring out, with many people looking at Mount Qingyun with gratitude as they departed.

  "A Xiu, come over, come over." Tian Jia's old patriarch said repeatedly.

  Axiu walked over with a nervous look on her face, clutching at her patched robe and lowering her head.

  "Clan leader, Ah Xiu this child has caused trouble." Ah Xiu's father was also anxious, fearing the clan leader would get angry.

  "It's nothing, this child didn't cause any trouble." The head of the Tian family, who had just scolded Ah Xiu, was now all smiles and patted Ah Xiu on the head. "Ah Xiu, where did those two come from? How do you know them?"

  Asheng hesitantly replied: "I, I met Ah Shou after working in the fields, in the nearby forest."

  "Ah Shou?" This was Tian Jia's old clan leader, who immediately understood that it was the same young man who had caught the Hundred People Squad captain with lightning speed.

  "What about the young man?" asked the head of the Tian family again.

  "That's Ah Shou's teacher." Ah Xiu thought for a moment and added, "Ah Shou's teacher is very formidable!"

  "Is it the forest beside the field? The Divine Axe Mountain?" The elder of the Tian family probably knew where Teng Qing was.

  The head of the Tian family said with a warm smile: "A Xiu, from now on, go to the forest often and see that A Shou." A Xiu, this simple and innocent little girl, was completely frightened today. Before, the village girls were caught, and then thousands of soldiers came, she was completely stunned, and her mind was all dizzy.

  The old tribal leader used to scold her, but now he's speaking so gently, Ah Xiu is even more bewildered.

  "What I said, remember?" Tian Jia Lao Zu continued, "That Ah Shou, has done a favor for our Tian Jia Zhuang, so you must go visit him often."

  "Oh, oh." Ah Xiu nodded repeatedly.

  A Xiu only knew one thing, if the old patriarch didn't say it, she would still go, let alone when the old patriarch made arrangements.

  Ashiu gradually woke up from her terror and had some understanding of what the old clan leader meant.

  "Old clan leader, could it be that you want..." Ah Xiu bit her lip, and in her mind appeared that silly yet lovely 'Ah Shou'.

  Tian family's elder looked far away at the departing figure of Chunqing Mountain, and sighed in his heart: "They are, after all, high-ranking people! When will my Tian Family Village also produce such a formidable person?"
