Chapter 125: The Brothel Swordsman’s Follower

At the center of Vast City stands a towering mountain. This is where the outer sect disciples of the Xuantian Sect cultivate.

Shi Yongsi, the manager of the outer sect, finally felt a sense of relief after finishing his daily chores. As the manager of the Xuantian Sect’s outer sect disciples, he wielded immense power. With nearly one hundred million outer sect disciples, the amount of Profound Stones distributed each month alone was staggering. Not to mention the countless resources turned in by disciples from their missions! He lived a very comfortable life. Even though his cultivation had stagnated, continuing like this was still quite pleasant.

Vast City was his favorite place to visit. There was a brothel there where all the women were at least at the Six-God Realm. Whenever he thought of those high-level female cultivators, Shi Yongsi became impatient. His own cultivation was only at the peak of the Eight-Void Realm, yet the brothel even had female cultivators at the Nine-Void Realm. As long as he had enough Profound Stones, he could spend a night of passion with them!

The brothel’s background was well-known; it belonged to the Jin family, one of the eight great clans of Vast City. The Jin family held a monopoly on brothels across the entire continent, and their business was always booming, whether among mortals or cultivators. Furthermore, with the Xuantian Sect recruiting elite disciples this year, the fact that the top-ranked disciple on the Heavenly Rankings went by the nickname "Brothel Swordsman" only caused the Jin family’s wealth to pour in like a rushing river.

In recent years, the Jin family’s strength seemed to have grown abnormally. He would have to find time to report these circumstances to the higher-ups. As an outer sect manager, he had many responsibilities, and monitoring unusual occurrences across the continent was one of them. Of course, that would have to wait until after he enjoyed the company of the exquisite Nine-Void Realm female cultivator!

Shi Yongsi was anxious to leave, but just as he reached the gates of the Xuantian Sect, he heard an argument. He could not help but feel secretly annoyed.

"I don't recognize this gold plaque, and as for you, you're spouting nonsense. Get lost! If you cause any more trouble, I’ll have you beaten down the mountain!"

Shi Yongsi flashed over, arriving at the scene instantly. He saw two men and one woman, all cultivators, looking furious. "Take a good look! This is a gold plaque issued by the Xuantian Sect! With this, we can enter the sect directly!" The one speaking was Gou Haitian. The other two were Chi Xiangdong and Qin Hongyi.

Despite their best efforts, the guard had merely glanced at the plaque and insisted on driving them away. He even met Qin Hongyi’s questions with contempt and mockery.

"What is all this commotion? Where is the dignity of the Xuantian Sect?" Shi Yongsi tried to suppress his anger.

"Manager Shi, you've arrived just in time. We’ve run into three inexplicable people causing a scene!"

Gou Haitian immediately retorted, "Causing a scene? It’s simply your lack of vision! This gold plaque really does grant direct entry into the Xuantian Sect!"

Shi Yongsi frowned. "Let me see."

He took the gold plaque. The characters "Xuantian Sect" were engraved upon it. The quality was superb; it did not look like a forgery. The Xuantian Sect had deep roots, and there were many elders with terrifying cultivation levels. Sometimes, eccentric elders would issue tasks and create special tokens or jade plaques for rewards. However, a reward granting direct entry into the sect had never been seen before. Only elders in important inner sect positions usually held such authority; even he, Shi Yongsi, did not have that power.

He released a strand of spiritual sense into the plaque and performed a hand seal, covering it in Profound Qi. This was a top-secret sect technique used to identify authentic tokens. As the Profound Qi surged, his spiritual sense instantly penetrated the plaque.

Suddenly, his expression changed. Inside the plaque, there were dense, intricate formations. In the center of these formations, a large character, "Dragon," appeared in his mind.

Dragon? There was indeed an elder named Dragon in the inner sect! And he was not someone to be trifled with!

He was certain now; this was absolutely genuine! An inner sect elder was definitely not someone he, an outer sect manager, could afford to offend. Without further hesitation, he sent out a transmission talisman. Setting aside his desire to visit the brothel, he said in a gentle voice, "Little friends, where did you obtain this gold plaque?"

Chi Xiangdong cupped his hands and said, "It was given to us by an elder. We were unsure if it was real or fake."

"It is absolutely real!" Shi Yongsi confirmed.

Gou Haitian laughed at the guard, "See? Shallow knowledge is just shallow knowledge! Can we enter the Xuantian Sect now?"

Shi Yongsi did not answer. He could not make that decision! "What about you? Do you have a gold plaque too?" he asked Qin Hongyi.

Qin Hongyi shook her head.

"And you still want to enter the Xuantian Sect?" Shi Yongsi was puzzled.

Qin Hongyi nodded, a faint smile appearing on her beautiful face. "I am Su Yizhao’s attendant; I must stay by his side."

Su Yizhao? Shi Yongsi was baffled. Who was Su Yizhao? Was he an inner sect elder too? The name sounded somewhat familiar, but there was no such person among the elders!

"Ridiculous! Manager Shi, it’s my fault for not recognizing the plaque, but I have never heard of anyone’s attendant being allowed into the Xuantian Sect!" the guard said, looking equally confused.

Chi Xiangdong hurriedly said, "The Brothel...!"

Shi Yongsi’s expression shifted; he stared at him intensely and cut him off. "What brothel?"

Could this young man have guessed that I was planning to go to a brothel? Otherwise, why would he suddenly bring it up in this situation?

"The Brothel Swordsman, Su Yizhao!"

"Ah!"

The Brothel Swordsman! No wonder the name sounded familiar! The title "Brothel Swordsman" was so famous that almost everyone had overlooked his actual name. Shi Yongsi’s face darkened, and he snapped, "The Brothel Swordsman may be famous, but this is impossible!"

A flush rose on Qin Hongyi’s beautiful face. It still wouldn't work! This was the number one on the Heavenly Rankings, the best in the continent! What would be so wrong with bringing a personal attendant?

The commotion had already attracted countless disciples, who gathered in the distance to watch. When they realized what was happening, they couldn't help but laugh. Entry into the Xuantian Sect required passing layers of trials. If any random cultivator could just walk in, wouldn't the value of their own achievement be greatly diminished?

"Beauty, I bet you’re being kept by the Brothel Swordsman! Haha, to think such a thing could happen!"

"Once that Brothel Swordsman gets tired of you, will he still want you?"

"Still, that figure, that face—it’s really quite something!"

Gou Haitian shouted violently, "Shut your mouths! Do you believe that Brother Su will smash your faces in?"

"You little brat, I’ll kill you right now! You dare to curse a Xuantian Sect disciple?" A disciple was just about to fly over when a transmission talisman arrived in a flash.

Shi Yongsi caught the talisman, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and raised a hand to stop the disciple. "The gold plaque is verified. You two may enter the outer sect of the Xuantian Sect," Shi Yongsi said, eager to resolve this mess. "As for you, you are absolutely not permitted to enter!"

Qin Hongyi was filled with disappointment.

"Who is here with the gold plaque?" A voice rang out, and a figure descended from the sky.

Gou Haitian and Chi Xiangdong fixed their eyes on him, their hearts tightening. They didn't know him!

Shi Yongsi, however, recognized him immediately. He quickly cupped his hands and bowed. "Elder Xuan, it is these two!"

The person who had arrived was none other than Xuan Wuji. He swept his gaze over Gou Haitian and Chi Xiangdong and let out a hearty laugh. "Well done, you little brat Su, actually giving away a gold plaque to others!"

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that the plaque had indeed been given out by him. Gou Haitian and Chi Xiangdong felt a weight lift from their hearts, staring expectantly at Xuan Wuji, fearing he might say that gifting the plaque was not allowed.
