Chapter 34: Chaos

{Iron Crow City}

Whistling wind, birds cawing, screeching eagles and the sound of galloping horses...

"MAKE WAY!!! YOUNG MASTER GU IS COMING!!" Fatty Zhu's voice echoed on the busy roads as Dogs barked in agitation.

People scurried away with shocked expressions.

"Make way! Make way!!" Nonchalantly, the warriors behind him would slash at those who were to slow to avoid them.

Gu Yu Xing quickly reverted to himself, The one that had clawed his way up in the Evil men's valley.

Cold piercing eyes that looked indifferently at the corpses on the ground, people began wailing from behind, the further they moved.

Before long, they arrived at a pharmacy belonging to the Zhao clan. This was the 4th property they were hitting, before the guards could ask any question...

Swish!!!

Fatty Zhu jumped off his horse with a laugh. in the same motion, He slashed the unsuspecting guard, the second one turned around to run while shouting

"enemy attack!!!", his attempt to flee was dislodged by flying claw!. It wrapped around his neck ruthlessly before literally crushing his throat.

Everyone became speechless as they turned to look at their companion, "Luo Sheng, for someone who didn't spend a lot of time with the Royal guards, you are just as vicious as that bitch!".

The fifty something old man had a bright sunny smile as he said, "It's all in the past, I was but a lowly initiate, if only I was able to rise more in power before the war..."

Gu Yu Xing quickly dismounted and walked ahead of the group, glaring at fatty Zhu, "We don't have time to waste".

"Hahaha Yes yes, don't mind me...I'm having to much fun!"Immediately fatty Zhu said this, they all charged into the establishment ahead of Gu Yu Xing.

Everyone dressed as a guard was killed, they didn't spare the staffs as they ran rampant.

By the time they were done, everywhere was a mess, blood and gore everywhere.

Yu Xing was also covered in blood as he tore people to pieces with his claws.

"This is the last of the big places in the city, for the rest, we'll split up and take care of the rest.

If any Yanmen officers try to stop you, You know what to do?" He ordered while wiping his hands on his black robe.

Jiang Qin suddenly spoke with a thoughtful expression, "how long do you think it will take people from the Golden city to come here?"

"I'm sure the Zhao people in Iron Crow City, would have sent a message to them" Fatty Zhu responded while licking his lips, totally ignoring his bloodied appearance.

Gu Yu Xing looked at the two and said, "I think the Golden city is what lord father is really after, If not he won't target the Zhao clan.

Remember, he said we shouldn't get to comfortable as we could leave at any time".

"Its no use guessing his thoughts, For now let's move on, those Yanmen officers will soon arrive!".

""""Yes!!!!""""

At same time, Gu Lin Fang wasn't the only one taking advantage of this situation to make it big.

"Brothers, my heart bled when the young master was killed. Thinking of the young master and the gratitude I have for..., now that he was killed, I must avenge him!"

Some small gangs and clans  claimed taking "revenge" and began to call out gangsters to follow him in taking revenge.

A large group of people quickly gathered around them.

"Some expert conspired with the villain, We must bring him to...!".

"If I can't avenge the Boss, how can I be worthy of the great master Gu!" Some gangsters roared with a hoarse voice,

"Quickly!!to the Commercial district!!!"

Different reasons were brought up suddenly and In an instant, all the Iron Crow City's big names each raised a war banner, drew up their fighters, and took advantage of the situation, helping Gu Lin Fang fuel the flames.

At the same time, the friction between each of them was getting bigger and bigger, and a big battle was about to break out because of the small skirmishes.

The Yanmen officers had their hands full as they were somehow drawn into the chaos.

Finally, night fell and there was killings everywhere.

Commander Zhuge felt like he was dying and his stress levels rose sharply, the jail cell, morgue and infirmary was completely overflowing at this point.

Ye, Xu, Duan, were at the forefront of the whole thing as they had lost key people during the auction, Ye and Xu originally had their patriarchs in the city, albeit injured while Duan matriarch had died during the assassination.

Even still they led their clans into battle and rushed to kill their counterparts, even destroying several properties and aspiring strong men. They became two major forces in the present chaos.

Meanwhile the man who caused it all, sat calmly in his study as he watched his system notifications fluctuate.

[Body count: 964]

[Body count: 965]

[Connection to the story: 77%][Connection to the story: 78%][Connection to the story: 81%][Connection to the story: 85%]

His eyes gleamed with joy.

'hahaha this way, everyone would be busy and as planned, this should last a few days.

I wonder if the so called world system would alter anything for the coming players.

Imagine popping up in a burning street, I can't wait to see it all.

With this I can now think of doing things outside the city for a while.'

Knock! Knock!

"Lord Gu, there's still no changes on our streets and the young miss is at the back garden with Miss Li Mei" Gu Wei Fan's voice came from the other side of the door.

"What about the others, did they follow my instructions and stayed indoors?!" Gu Lin Fang asks while unfolding the newly drawn maps that he spent most of the day making.

"Yes... young master Li Cheng took care of the young one trying to cause trouble" you could almost hear him stifle a laugh from the other side of the door.

Obviously something funny must have happened but he wasn't really interested.

'Li Cheng must be feeling confident because of the awakening, I'm surprised Ji Bei can hold it to this point. Expected more resistance, that way I can kill him faster'.

Gu Lin Fang sneered at the thought of the ambitious Gu Ji Bei, "Alright, prepare my bath and let Gu Yu Xing come find me once he arrives".

"As you wish!"acknowledging his words, he heard Gu Wei Fan's leaving footsteps.

He brought his eyes to the maps, "this maps would fan the flames but I need to make some preparations and leave clues, how do I go about this..."

Gu Lin Fang stood up and paced around, there was so much to do but the success of the previous plan has already bought him enough time to relax a bit.

"I'll first level up to the mid level of the Nascent soul realm and then take the new sword technique to level 5 while training Li Cheng".

He sat down once again, "tomorrow, tomorrow I can't wait to see!"

Suddenly there was a commotion outside...

"Hey! hey! Hold on!!, Stop right there Ji Bei!!"Ji Hung's voice came from the other side of the door.

"You damn slave, don't think because Lin Fang casually gave you the Gu name, changed anything.

Now show me where he is?!!" Gu Ji Bei's voice was laced with strong jealousy.

"Master Ji Bei, I apologize but I can't..." a crisp slap cut off Gu Wei Fan's voice.

Gu Lin Fang's eyes flashed with malice as he walked out of the study, 'Finally couldn't hold it in'.
