Chapter Twenty-Five: Confucianism

  When Yang Lin and others entered the door, a middle-aged man at the head of the main hall stood up first, then the singing stopped and all the people present stood up to toast Yang Lin and others.

  Hehe

  The middle-aged man was definitely the lord of Haiyang City, he walked over from behind the table, his slightly fat body looked a bit bloated, with a greasy face, hinting that his days were quite comfortable.

  "Welcome!"

  He warmly came up, familiarly grasped Yang Lin's hand, shook it vigorously, and then said: "I am Hai Tian, the lord of Haiyang City. I apologize for not welcoming you earlier, please forgive me."

  Yang Lin's face also had a smile, saying: "The city master has spoken heavily, our status is low, how dare we hope for the city master to personally welcome us. The city master has already made me feel honored and surprised."

  "Hmm!"

  Yang Lin's back emitted a faint humming sound, and Luo Tianyou's face turned angry. He was very displeased with the smiling tiger in front of him, as he had suffered losses at his hands before.

  "Oh... So it's Tianyou brother, come on, come on. Don't mind what happened before, I'll make it up to you today!" Haotian smiled even more when he saw Luo Tianyou.

  Lu Tianyou was also bewildered by Hai Tian's excessive enthusiasm, but he also knew that since Hai Tian said so, it's better not to turn his back on him for now.

  After the exchange of pleasantries, Yang Lin and his four companions were invited to take their seats.

  Haitian walked to the center of the hall, clapped his hands to signal everyone to look at him, and smiled: "Today I'm very happy, we can gather together, and our friends from Yousheng City have finally arrived. Let's welcome them with the warmest applause!"

  Warm applause erupted, and everyone except Yang Yu Xi stood up to return the courtesy. Yang Yu Xi was already attracted by the sumptuous food on the table and didn't care about these etiquettes.

  "No more nonsense, today we won't leave until we're drunk!"

  At this time, the singing voice started again, the dance jumped up again, and the luxurious atmosphere came back.

  Yang Lin had a professional smile on his face as he looked at everyone, then lowered his voice and asked someone around him: "What day is today, why is it so lively?"

  That person also had a greasy face and casually wiped his mouth, saying: "It's not any special day, as long as the city master is happy, we're almost like this every day!"

  "Really? It seems that Haiyang City's governance is very good!" Yang Lin learned the information, his face didn't change at all, smiled and flattered the person a few times before returning to his own table.

  Yang Lin's face was slightly solemn, and he picked up the wine in front of him and took a slight sip.

  "Huh?"

  As soon as the wine entered his mouth, Yang Lin discovered that something was wrong, but he didn't show it. Instead, he sent a message to Rujiaosheng and Nie Han.

  "Seal off the meridians, this table of food is poisonous."

  Upon hearing Yang Lin's words, both of them subtly changed their expressions and immediately sealed off their meridians.

  "But what about Yu Xi and Tian You?" Nie Han looked at Yang Yu Xi, who was eating voraciously, and Luo Tian You, who was drinking heavily, with some concern.

  "Don't worry about them, although they're poisonous, they'll only make people feel weak and drowsy for a few hours, and the two of them are too weak to resist anyway."

  "Why don't we expose them now?" Nie Han raised the wine cup in front of him, tilted his head and drank it all, his eyes scanning around, just catching Hai Tian's cunning gaze glancing over at him from time to time.

  "Bang"

  Rujia Sheng put down his empty wine cup on the table and continued, "Since you've made your move, I'll play along."

  "Go!"

  After three rounds of wine, the entire hall was filled with people who had fallen to the ground. Some were drunk, but most likely many more had fainted, it seemed that everyone had been drugged. Although Haitian was bold, he didn't dare take the lives of all the people here.

  "Boom boom boom"

  More and more people fell down, then Yang Lin felt that the entire hall had a faint scent, which made people's expressions somewhat dazed after taking a slight sniff, apparently it was also a kind of anesthetic.

  Then, the singing and dancing girls in the field also fell down one by one, their slender figures falling randomly, their jade legs stretched out, enticing the eyes, but unfortunately no one could see them.

  "Hong Hong"

  Yang Yu Xi and Luo Tian You had some cultivation, but at this moment they also finally couldn't hold on anymore, and collapsed onto the table.

  As they looked around, the entire hall was left with only five people still standing: Hai Tian Yu Long and Yang Lin Nie Han Qiu Sheng.

  Haitian and Yu Long continued drinking, but Haitian's eyes kept hinting at Yu Long, who furrowed his brow to indicate he was also in the dark.

  Just as the two suspected that the medicine was useless, Yang Lin and the other three also fell down.

  "Hmph!"

  Upon seeing this, Hai Tian coldly smiled and casually tossed down the wine cup in his hand, slowly closing in on Yang Lin and the other four.

  "Ah!"

  Suddenly, Yang Yuxi stood up, his whole body swaying left and right, likely to fall over at any moment.

  His eyes were dim, his right hand pointing at the sea and sky.

  This shocked Haitian and Tian, how can this be? This little guy hasn't fainted yet?!

  "You scoundrel Nangong Cangjie, how dare you snatch Grandpa's..."

  Yang Yu Xi's eyes rolled back and she fell to the ground once again before she could finish her last sentence.

  Haitian and Yulong's hearts skipped a beat. Haitian patted his chest, pointed at the five men with his hand, indicating that Yulong should quickly go get someone.

  Haiyang City Prison

  It's been years since the sun shone here, and it's no different from a regular prison, cold and damp. Although he knew that the five were already powerless, Hai Tian still locked them in the most secure cell.

  Yang Lin woke up from his feigned sleep after making sure there was no one around him. Nie Han and the other person also sat up afterwards.

  Yang Lin walked up to Yang Yu Xi and Luo Tian You, checked them over and found that they were both fine, slightly relieved.

  As for Nie Han and the other, they were not as good as Yang Lin after all. Although they had sealed their meridians, the medicinal power could not be ignored like Yang Lin did, so at this moment, they also needed a moment to cultivate and remove the medicinal power.

  Yang Lin saw the two begin to operate their skills and also slowly permeated his spiritual awareness, soon memorizing the surrounding terrain.

  This scene is neither long nor short, just enough for Nie Han and his wife to completely eliminate the medicinal properties.

  Just then, Yang Lin signaled to lie down, because someone was coming.

  Haitian and Yu Long walked over, surrounded by some prison guards. At this time, Haitian's face also had a smile on it, but it was no longer a passionate one, rather a bone-chillingly cold one.

  "Hum hum, wake them up!"

  The sea and sky beckon, and he gives orders to the prison guards behind him.

  The jailer hastily nodded in agreement and opened the prison door with some trepidation, as several buckets of icy water were poured down from above.

  "Ah?! Who is it?"

  Yang Yu Xi first jumped up, then felt weak all over and fell down with a thud.

  "What's going on? I don't have any strength at all! Ah, it's you guys! Where is this place? How did we end up here?!"

  Haitian sneered coldly at the crowd, leaning in with a sinister tone: "This is a prison cell, as for why you're all here... humph, naturally it's because you've committed crimes!"

  "What did I do? Was it wrong for me to eat that much? Okay...I was wrong..." Yang Yu Xi's expression changed extremely quickly and exaggeratedly.

  Haitian thought it was unnecessary to bother with this little kid, so he turned to Yang Lin, a hypocritical smile on his face: "I'm saying, Senior Yanglin, you should be more understanding of the situation than this little brat, right? So there's no need for me to explain anything."

  Yang Lin asked faintly: "Who instructed you to do this?"

  "Huh? You think someone is directing me?"

  "That's natural, with your guts, no one would dare to arbitrarily add goods without being instructed."

  Upon hearing this, Hai Tian burst out laughing instead of getting angry. After a long while, he finally stopped his maniacal laughter and grabbed Yang Lin's collar, saying viciously: "Don't say you understand me!"

  Yang Lin just stared at him and didn't respond.

  "Old Master Yang, I know your cultivation is high, but now you probably can't stir up any waves either, haha!"

  "What do you want?" Yang Lin said solemnly.

  The sea and sky bowed their heads and stared at Yang Lin for a moment, then stood up and clapped their hands, and suddenly the entire dark dungeon became glittering gold.

  "Wow! Gold!!" Yang Yu Xi exclaimed in surprise.

  Not bad, it's gold, and a lot of gold, shining brightly and filling two large boxes.

  "Old Master Yang, as long as you are willing to surrender to us, all this gold will be yours. From now on, wealth and glory will be endless!" Haitian's voice was trembling with an inexplicable temptation.

  Yang Lin's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to ask: "Then how do you plan to deal with them?"

  "Hmph, apart from Old Man Yang, we don't think much of the rest of you!" Hai Tian's voice grew increasingly menacing, his tone implying more than he was letting on.

  "Do you know who he is?" Yang Lin pointed at Ru Qiu Sheng.

  "Huh? Who is it?"

  "He is none other than the number one young Confucian scholar of our time - Rujisheng."

  Confucius Autumn was slightly frowning, he didn't know what the use of Yang Lin reporting his own identity at this time was, unless it was to intimidate Hai Tian? It's estimated that those who dare to arbitrarily collect tribute would not be intimidated by this identity.

  As expected, Hai Tian was only slightly stunned, staring at Ru Qiu Sheng for a few moments before sneering and saying: "Ru Qiu Sheng, your reputation is indeed loud, but you're still young and not yet mature enough, just kill him then."

  "Can you withstand the wrath of Confucius' gate and the wrath of Confucius' sword?" Yang Lin asked, seemingly casual.

  If saying that when hearing the two words "Confucian Gate", Hai Tian's expression changed a little, then when hearing the two words "Confucian Sword", Hai Tian's expression changed drastically!

  What is Rujian?

  One of the nine great primordial vessels!!

  If there is still someone in this world who dares to belittle Confucianism, then it is absolutely impossible for anyone to dare belittle the Confucian sword!

  Even those who also possess the nine great primordial artifacts.

  And because of the existence of Confucianism's sword, there is no one who dares to look down on Confucianism.

  The Confucian School is the only sect in this world that has inherited the primordial instrument, and the Confucian Sword is also the only one of the nine major primordial instruments that has a heritage.

  The Confucian sword and the Confucian gate have long formed an inseparable whole, except for the Great Zhou Imperial Court, the Confucian gate is indeed the number one force in the world.

  Now, it seems that he himself is going to offend the number one power in the world. Hai Tian hesitated, knowing that his backer was very powerful, but whether he was strong enough to rival the Confucian School?

  He doesn't know.
