Ten Thousand Sword Masters

The next day, Zhang Jianyun arrived at the pavilion after accumulating 2000 hostility points at the slaughterhouse.

While the pavilion was still under renovation, Zhang Jianyun and the other soldiers continued playing Texas Hold'em.

The atmosphere at the gambling table was so intense that no one went to the cafeteria for lunch; they continued playing.

In the afternoon, just as everyone was getting heated, Yang Changping summoned everyone for a meeting.

Once everyone had arrived at the council hall, Yang Changping began, "Everyone, thank you all for your continued support of my work. I have just received my transfer order, and I will be leaving Cangxi Pavilion to become the Pavilion Master of Jiuxing Guard in Sanhe Town."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately offered their congratulations.

"Sect Master, being appointed as the Sect Master of the Nine Star Guard in Sanhe Town, your future is very bright," Zhu Yiwen congratulated.

"Brother Yang, the government offices in Sanhe Town are much richer than ours; it's a lucrative position," Du Zhong said with a grin.

"Boss, can you transfer me to Sanhe Town too? I want to follow you around," Liu Fei said with a grin.

For a moment, everyone was talking at once, making it quite lively.

"There's another piece of news I need to tell everyone," Yang Changping said in a loud voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, waiting for what was to come.

"Along with my transfer order came another appointment: Zhang Jianyun would succeed me as the head of Cangxi Pavilion."

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Fei excitedly stood up and clapped his hands. He really didn't expect Zhang Jianyun to become the Pavilion Master so quickly.

Congratulations!

Zhou Wei smiled and patted Zhang Jianyun on the shoulder.

Sun Dang, Peng Zhong, and Gan Qiang stared at Zhang Jianyun in shock, finding it unbelievable.

"This... this is how I became the Pavilion Master?" Gan Qiang clicked his tongue and muttered to himself.

Sun Dang's expression was a mix of emotions. He and Zhang Jianyun didn't have much of a relationship. Zhang Jianyun had suddenly risen to the position of Pavilion Master, and his future days might not be as easy as when he was under Yang Changping.

"Brother Zhu, to become the Pavilion Master, one must have the cultivation level of the History Sea Realm. This is a strict requirement, so..." Yang Changping stopped there.

"Sect Master, you're overthinking it. Although I aspire to be the Sect Master, I haven't broken through to the Historical Sea Realm yet, so I won't covet this position at this stage," Zhu Yiwen said via WeChat.

"Sooner or later, Councilor Zhu will break through the historical realm and will surely become the head of a regional pavilion," Du Zhong said, trying to smooth things over.

"Jianyun, although you have taken over as the Pavilion Master, you have only been in the Nine Star Guard for a short time. There are many things you have not experienced and you lack experience. In the future, when you encounter difficult situations, you should consult with Brother Zhu more often."

"Although Brother Zhu does not have the cultivation level of the History Sea Realm, he is knowledgeable and resourceful."

"From now on, I will rely on you, Advisor," Zhang Jianyun said to Zhu Yiwen.

"You're too modest, Pavilion Master. I hope you'll give me some guidance on the path of cultivation if the opportunity arises in the future," Zhu Yiwen said warmly.

Seeing that Zhu Yiwen did not show any resentment towards Zhang Jianyun, Yang Changping's worries disappeared.

"Today, I'm hosting a meal for everyone at Jiaxing Restaurant to thank you all for your support," Yang Changping announced loudly.

"good!"

All the armored soldiers shouted in unison.

Afterwards, Yang Changping led his group to Jiaxing Restaurant.

After entering the private room, since it was still early and not yet time for lunch, Yang Changping ordered the waiter to bring some wine, melon seeds, peanuts, fruit, and some snacks.

"Come on, boss, it's still early, let's play some Texas Hold'em. You're leaving anyway, so just give me your money back," Zhou Wei said with a big laugh.

"Alright, I'll play along with you guys." Yang Changping said freely, "Brother Zhu, come on, let's have some fun together."

"Okay, I'll play with you guys for a bit," Zhu Yiwen said.

"I'll be the dealer for the first round," Zhou Wei said, urging everyone to play their cards, and then dealing the cards one by one.

After a period of fun, in the evening, everyone ate and drank, and the atmosphere was extremely lively. Zhang Jianyun paid the bill first, and then Du Zhong suggested going to Hongxiufang to listen to some music.

"Alright, let's go to Hongxiufang and have some fun. It's a deal, I'll pay for it. Anyone who tries to pay first is going against me," Yang Changping said drunkenly.

"Don't worry, boss, no one will try to take your money this time," Du Zhong said.

Afterwards, the group left Jiaxing Restaurant and headed towards Hongxiufang.

shhhhh!

Just as he left Jiaxing Restaurant and was walking down the street, two arrows shot towards Yang Changping.

Yang Changping instantly sobered up: "Everyone, get out of the way!"

With a loud shout, Yang Changping leaped into the air and dodged the incoming arrow.

Huhu~

At the same time, two people flew up from the front, swords in hand, and charged at Yang Changping.

"Pavilion Master Zhang, hurry and help Pavilion Master Yang!" Du Zhong hurriedly called out to Zhang Jianyun.

Swish!

Zhang Jianyun drew his fish-patterned knife and leaped towards Yang Changping.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

blah blah blah!

The attackers clashed with Zhang Jianyun and Yang Changping.

"Brother Li, didn't you say you wanted me to team up with you to kill one person at the History Sea Realm? How come there are two people at the History Sea Realm here?" one of the attackers said angrily.

"Double the crystals," the man known as Brother Li calmly replied.

"Then it's settled." The attacker's anger turned to joy, and his attack became more ferocious.

Bah!

With a swift stroke, Zhang Jianyun deflected the attacker's sword and roared, "Who are you people, daring to attack members of the Nine Star Guards!"

"I am Wu De, the Left Hand of the Common People, specializing in killing the Nine Star Guards," Wu De said.

blah blah blah!

After another exchange, Zhang Jianyun asked coldly, "Who are you to Qian Liu?"

"Kid, you're smart. I'm Qian Liu's friend. I've come here to avenge him at the invitation of Qian Liu's brother-in-law, Li Xiaodong. Prepare to die!" Wu De roared.

"Jianyun, lead the people to the outskirts." Yang Changping said, suddenly swinging his knife to cleave Li Xiaodong's sword in two, and then quickly fled to the outskirts.

Zhang Jianyun also swung his sword and cleaved Wu De's sword in two, then fled towards the outskirts of the city. However, unlike Yang Changping who fled westward, Zhang Jianyun fled eastward into the outskirts of the city.

"Kid, where do you think you're going?"

Wu De cursed and chased after Zhang Jianyun.

"Zhou Wei, Liu Fei, Gan Qiang, the three of you go to assist Pavilion Master Yang. Sun Dang, Peng Zhong, and I will go with you to assist Pavilion Master Zhang," Zhu Yiwen quickly arranged.

"Yes, ma'am."

Huhuhu~

After leaping and running continuously, Zhang Jianyun left Cangxi Town and arrived in the suburbs, entering a forest.

"Kid, stop running. You're going to die sooner or later anyway. Stop now, and I'll give you a quick death," Wu De shouted.

As soon as he finished shouting, Zhang Jianyun turned around and stopped.

Wu De was taken aback, then overjoyed: "Good lad, you're really obedient. I'll give you a quick death."

As Wu De spoke, he leaped into the air and swung his sword at Zhang Jianyun.

shhhhhh!

Zhang Jianyun raised his left hand and unleashed a series of crystalline bursts of light.

Wu De paused in mid-air, then quickly fell.

"Kid, that's not how you use crystal energy. Let grandpa teach you."

As Wu De spoke, he suddenly lunged at Zhang Jianyun.

"Then let me see how you use crystal power," Zhang Jianyun said calmly, before leaping into the air.

I like the Ten Thousand Swords Master.
