A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 589 Master 8

The Moon Goddess said, "I suddenly feel uneasy. Go to Tiandu City immediately to see Zhengliang."

The man replied respectfully, "Yes, Master."

After the man left, the Moon Goddess calmed herself down and then continued to cultivate with her eyes closed.

Eight gates, in the council hall.

An elderly man with white hair and a youthful face sat in the head seat, exuding authority without anger. He was the leader of the Eight Gates, known in the martial arts world as "Master Eight." Seven or eight people sat to his left and right, all of whom were core figures in the Eight Gates.

Yuan Qiu, Tang Gun, and Ma Sanpao stood in the center of the hall, looking completely unperturbed. In the past, even if they had a thousand or ten thousand times the courage, they wouldn't have dared to step into the Eight Gates. Not to mention the Eight Gates, they wouldn't have dared to enter any other sect. But today was different; there was nothing left for them to fear.

The atmosphere in the council hall seemed somewhat tense. No one spoke, but it was clear from the Eighth Prince's face that he was deep in thought.

After a moment, Ma Sanpao spoke up: "Eighth Master, I think you should take our opinion into consideration."

Upon hearing this, Eighth Master sneered and said, "Boy, you think you can fight a rock with an egg? You're overestimating yourselves."

"Who said we are 'throwing eggs against rocks, overestimating our own strength'?" A stern voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Everyone in the Eight Gates was startled and turned their gazes toward the entrance. There stood Chao Bufan, hands behind his back, a smile on his face, strode in with an imposing air.

Eighth Master's brow furrowed, and he asked, "May I ask who you are?"

Chao Bufan began by saying, "I am Tian Yue, greetings to Eighth Master."

Upon hearing this, Eighth Master quickly sized up Chao Bufan, but found no information about this young man named Tian Yue in his mind. He was shocked and wondered, "What are the backgrounds of these young people? I can't figure out a single one of them." He then looked at his men with a puzzled expression, and seeing that they were also confused, he asked with a focused gaze, "Are you also part of the Gang of Four?"

“Exactly,” Chao Bufan replied.

Eighth Master smiled, clearly the leader of this gang of four, and said, "Young man, I heard them say you want to save the martial arts world?"

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "It's not about saving them, we just want to restore justice to the righteous path."

"Just the four of you?" Eighth Master asked.

“Yes, just the four of us,” Chao Bufan replied with a smile.

"Then what will you rely on to save the world?" Eighth Master asked again.

“Strength,” Chao Bufan said calmly, “We will save the world with our strength.”

Eighth Master said solemnly, "Young man, do you know that my Eighth Gate never interferes in anything in the martial world?"

“I know,” Chao Bufan nodded. “In the martial world, whether it’s the righteous path or the demonic path, everyone will be wary of your Eight Gates, right, Eighth Master?”

Eighth Master laughed and said, "That may be true, but over the years, our Eight Gates have never stepped into the martial world, so we don't know what our friends in the martial world think."

"If the skin is gone, where will the hair attach? Eighth Master, is that so?" Chao Bufan suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Eighth Master was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said, "Young people, I think you've come to the wrong place. Our Eight Gates has never interfered in anything in the martial world, and it doesn't now. So, whether the martial world is righteous or evil, it has nothing to do with our Eight Gates. Please leave!"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan frowned, a strange light flashing in his eyes, before laughing, "So, Eighth Master isn't willing to help with this!"

Eighth Master replied, "It's not that our Eight Gates are unwilling to help, but the martial world has its own rules, and we simply can't help. Young man, let me give you a piece of advice: don't overestimate yourself and think that knowing a few tricks is enough to dominate the martial world. The martial world isn't what you think it is." With that, Eighth Master said loudly, "Guards, see the guest out."

"Hmm?" Chao Bufan raised an eyebrow, then sneered and said, "Eighth Master, you really are taking advantage of your age and don't know any manners."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Eighth Master's eyes, and a murderous intent crossed his face. He said coldly, "Young people, I'm only sparing you because you're young. Otherwise, I would have taken your lives the moment you stepped into my Eighth Gate. If you still don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for being impolite. Get out of here now."

"You..." Tang Gun roared angrily, and was about to make a move when Chao Bufan stopped him and said coldly, "Eighth Master, I originally did not intend to make things difficult for you. Since you do not know how to be virtuous, then your Eight Gates have no need to exist."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the Eight Gates immediately stood up. One of them shouted angrily, "You bastard, how dare you be so ungrateful! Find..."

Before the word "death" could even be uttered, Ma Sanpao, in a fit of rage, suddenly threw a punch. With a muffled "bang," the man screamed in agony and flew backward, crashing heavily to Eighth Master's feet. He died instantly, without even moving.

The sudden turn of events shocked Eighth Master and the others. A single punch had killed a mid-stage Profound Realm expert…

After throwing a punch, Ma Sanpao said with a disdainful look, "You old codger, you talk too much nonsense."

When Eighth Master realized what was happening, his brows furrowed, and he scrutinized Chao Bufan and the others. At the same time, he was shocked and thought to himself, "These young people seem ordinary, but their cultivation is beyond my imagination. Just who are they?"

However, Eighth Master never took Chao Bufan and the others seriously, because he believed that with his mid-stage Yellow Realm cultivation, no one in the martial world could do anything to him. Just as he was about to speak, the people in the sect realized what was happening and attacked Chao Bufan and the others without saying a word.

"live……"

Eighth Master reacted and cried out, but it was too late. Before he could even utter the word "hand," a loud "bang" was heard. It was Ma Sanpao and his men who showed no mercy, swinging their fists to smash the other side...

Before those people could even react, they exploded with a "bang" from a single punch, instantly turning into a pool of blood.

Upon seeing this, Eighth Master's face immediately twisted in anger. The elite of the Eight Gates were so easily defeated in front of four young men (oh, no, three, because Chao Bufan did not make a move). He roared, "Give me your life!" and charged towards Ma Sanpao.

"Overestimating yourself." Ma Sanpao said disdainfully, not even glancing at Eighth Master. He reached out, his five fingers forming a claw, and casually grabbed at Eighth Master. Eighth Master felt a huge suction force suddenly pull him in. Startled, he tried to use his internal energy to resist, only to find that he had been choked by someone. Not only that, the power he had just gathered was also dissipated by an external force, leaving him helpless as a lamb to the slaughter.
