There was still plenty of time, so Jun Changxiao took Liu Wanshi along at an unhurried pace. When passing through towns, they’d go in to experience the customs and culture of this other world.

But they didn’t see the good side, only the dark side.

Villages were alright, with simple folk customs.

In slightly larger towns, they’d always see martial cultivators with cultivation realms bullying the weak and oppressing men and women.

Among these, certain families were the most serious offenders.

They kept thugs and servants who strutted through the streets as arrogant bullies.

The Starfall Continent also had government organizations, but they only restrained ordinary people. For great families and powerful clans, they could only turn a blind eye.

From what Jun Changxiao saw and heard, he deeply realized that though Qingyang Commandery was small, at least the eight city lords still did their duty. The outside world was truly this cruel.

…

Boom!

In a certain town, a fierce-looking martial artist kicked an elderly street performer away, saying, “My young master has taken a liking to your daughter—that’s your fortune! Why all this nonsense!”

“Father!”

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl cried out. Several thugs surrounded her, smiles on their faces.

These people were thugs kept by the Zhen family.

Standing to the side, that somewhat decent-looking young man in fine clothes was the Zhen family young master, a complete dandy.

Passersby on the street couldn’t help but shake their heads secretly, thinking this girl was doomed today.

“Miss.”

Young Master Zhen smiled. “Submit to this young master, and I naturally won’t mistreat you.”

Saying this, he walked over, his gaze flashing with lecherous light.

The girl was terrified, but with thugs blocking her surroundings, she had nowhere to retreat.

“Sect Leader.”

Just then, a clear voice rang out. “Does this count as molesting an innocent woman in broad daylight?”

“It does,” someone said.

Young Master Zhen’s brows furrowed slightly.

He looked toward the voice and saw a man and woman walking down the street—the man about eighteen or nineteen, the girl about eleven or twelve.

“Oh?”

Seeing the petite, cute-looking girl, Young Master Zhen’s eyes immediately lit up, and he smiled wickedly. “What a beautiful little thing.”

“Sect Leader.”

The girl’s brows furrowed. “This guy’s gaze is so disgusting!”

“This Seat will beat him up for you,” the young man said.

Beat me?

Young Master Zhen laughed.

The thugs surrounding the young woman also laughed.

Boom!

The sound of a fist suddenly rang out.

The smiles on the faces of the Zhen family thugs immediately froze.

Because the seemingly frail young man was already standing before the young master, his fist striking the young master’s chest.

So fast they didn’t even see it!

“Does it hurt?”

The young man maintained his punching stance, looking harmless as he asked.

Though Young Master Zhen still stood in place, his expression gradually became twisted as he said, “It hurts…”

“If it hurts, why aren’t you flying away yet?”

“Ahhh—”

Young Master Zhen’s entire body lifted off the ground, then explosively flew backward, landing over thirty meters away, clutching his chest and letting out pig-like squeals.

The people on the street were dumbfounded.

He punched him, but only after a while did he fly away—what… what kind of operation was this!

“An expert!”

Martial cultivators hidden among the crowd thought secretly.

In their view, being able to send Young Master Zhen flying like this definitely meant extremely high mastery over strength!

But…

That was the Zhen family’s young master.

Beating someone on their home turf—it would be hard to escape unscathed!

Sure enough.

The Zhen family thugs came to their senses, angrily rushed forward, surrounded the young man, and glared at him with murderous eyes, as if wanting to kill him with their gazes.

“Dare to strike my young master, you’re courting…”

Before the martial cultivator could finish speaking, a cold palm flew over.

Slap—

The young man slapped his face, then swung his other hand, precisely striking the faces of the surrounding martial cultivators.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

In an instant, the six or seven Zhen family thugs flew away.

The people on the street were completely stunned!

That young man was clearly maintaining a certain distance from the Zhen family thugs, yet when he struck, they felt as if he was right beside them!

“Expert, expert of experts!” The wandering cultivators thought in their hearts.

Young Master Zhen, who had gotten up from the ground, clutched his chest, his eyes nearly splitting with rage. “Detestable bastard, just you wait!”

He hurriedly turned and fled in panic.

He was going home to seek reinforcements, to gather all the family’s men and dismember this guy!

…

“Father!”

At the Zhen residence, the Zhen family head, who was conversing with a guest in the great hall, heard his son’s tearful cry. His face immediately darkened.

“Father!”

Young Master Zhen stumbled in, tears in his eyes. “I was beaten outside!”

“Slap!”

The Zhen family head slammed the table, furious. “Who has such audacity!”

“Me.”

A voice came from outside.

Young Master Zhen froze, quickly looking outside. He saw that the young man who had beaten him had actually followed him in, and he gnashed his teeth. “Father, it’s him!”

The Zhen family head strode out, his gaze filled with killing intent. “Boy, how did you get in here!”

“I walked in,” the young man said.

The Zhen family head’s expression was extremely ugly.

Were the gate guards idiots, letting an outsider walk in so brazenly!

They were idiots.

Because they’d all been beaten into idiots, lying on the ground convulsing.

“Boy.”

The visiting guest also walked out, hands behind his back, saying indifferently, “Striking Young Master Zhen and trespassing on the Zhen family estate—your audacity is truly not small.”

“Family Head Zhen.”

He said, “Let this Sun personally take action to teach this ignorant brat a lesson.”

The Zhen family head said, “Much obliged!”

This was an Elder at the Wuzong level from a fifth-rate sect. Having him personally take action for his family would definitely be very face-giving if word got out!

“Boy.”

Elder Sun said coldly, “Quickly kneel down and apologize to Family Head Zhen, and you might keep your life. Otherwise…”

When he reached this point, his voice suddenly stopped.

Because from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the waist token hanging at the young man’s waist, with four characters engraved on it—Iron Bones Clanging.

Elder Sun’s complexion changed dramatically, and he exclaimed, “You… you’re a disciple of the Iron Bones Clanging Sect?”

Iron Bones Clanging Sect?

The Zhen family head’s expression froze.

He’d naturally heard of this recently prominent sect.

Coincidentally, the two had just been discussing the Iron Bones Sect, talking about the Sect Leader taking disciples to Huayang Commandery to annihilate four evil sects!

Swish!

The young man appeared before Elder Sun, throwing a punch.

Boom—

Struck heavily in the abdomen, Elder Sun’s face immediately twisted, then he collapsed like a pile of mud.

Gah!

The Zhen family head stood dumbstruck!

How… how did this guy get here!

Slap!

The young man reached out, gripping the Zhen family head’s neck, and looked at the fallen Elder Sun. “This Seat kills him, do you have an opinion?”

This Seat??

Could he be… Jun Changxiao!

Elder Sun endured the pain and hurriedly said, “No opinion! No opinion!”

Looking at the Zhen family head, the young man said indifferently, “The fish rots from the head down—you’re no good bird either.”

Crack!

His five fingers exerted force, and the Zhen family head didn’t even have a chance to speak before his head tilted to the side.

“Father!”

Young Master Zhen was terrified.

The young man casually tossed aside the corpse, walked before him, and said, “In your next life, don’t drag your father down again.”

Swoosh!

Sword light flashed, and a head fell to the ground.

…

The entire town exploded!

Because the Zhen family head and his wicked son had their heads hung at the city gate, with four blood-written characters left on the wall—Iron Bones Clanging!

“Iron Bones Clanging?”

“Is that the Iron Bones Clanging Sect from Qingyang Commandery!”

“Four evil sects were annihilated in Huayang Commandery, and similar writing was left behind. It must be them!”

As people discussed, the young man who’d left with the girl heard a clear voice in his ears.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing hidden quest [Punish Evil and Eliminate Wickedness Five], receiving 500 contribution points.”

“Ding! Sect contribution points: 4802/10000.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the [Punish Evil and Eliminate Wickedness] series of quests, receiving 2000 contribution points and the title [Light of Chivalry].”

“Ding! Sect contribution points: 6802/10000.”
