Chapter 327 - A Whipping (1/2)

Proofread by Claire.KK

After wandering for an hour, Lin Xun quickly found out the address of the Vulture House from others.

He spent a piece of gold coin to hire a chariot toward Vulture House.

A piece of gold coin was able to hire seven or eight chariots in other cities! It could be proved indirectly that the price level in the Forbidden City was especially high. It was really difficult to live in the Forbidden City if one didn’t have enough money.

In the northwest area of the Forbidden City

This was a civilian area in the Forbidden City. People who live here were from all over the world. But its prosperity couldn’t be compared with other areas of the Forbidden City.

Even so, this area was also bustling with restaurants, inns, commercial houses, brothels. One could meet his every need here.

Vulture House was a restaurant in this area.

It was very remote. Not until Lin Xun got down the chariot and searched this area for a long time did he find it in the corner of a lane.

This was a two-story building, ordinary and unimpressive.

It was nearly noon. A dozen guests scattered in the center of Vulture House. The business seemed to be not good.

“Should it be the owner of this restaurant that instructor Shu Sanqi mentioned?”

Lin Xun looked up at the signboard of the restaurant. He was surprised that Vulture House was written in ancient characters.

He thought that since the master of Vulture House was a friend of Shu Sanqi, he must also be a great strongman. Who ever thought that Vulture House was just a common restaurant located in the civilian area.

Lin Xun didn’t despise its location. Many strongmen liked to live in unnoticeable place like small downtown. That was called “hiding in the city”.

When Lin Xun was about to step into Vulture House, there was clatters of hoofs in the street in the distance. The earth shook as if thousands of troops were approaching.

As soon as the hoof sounded, Lin Xun saw that a group of practitioners were riding fierce beasts, roaring towards here.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

On the beast, the practitioners waved their long whips and scolded the passers-by who were blocking the road. They were extremely arrogant.

“Get out of the way! Damn it, don’t you have an eye, get out of the way! ”

“Go back if you don’t want to die!”

Pedestrians on the street were screaming to dodge, making much chaos.

A few people were too slow to dodge, so they were directly hit by the fierce beasts and flew out, screaming on the ground.

There were also some pedestrians who had dodged but they were still beaten by the long whips, crying out on the ground.

How Arrogant!

They totally ignored life!

This was Lin Xun’s first impression of these practitioners.

Riding beats at will in the street was almost the same as trampling on life.

What was more, those immoral practitioners were extremely proud to do this and laughed constantly.

Suddenly, Lin Xun’s pupils shrank.

Not far away from him, a little boy stood still crying. He seemed to be frightened and forget to dodge.

Crack!

The fierce beast at the front had galloped over. The practitioner on the beast grinned and lashed at the little boy.

If this blow was carried out, the little boy’s brain would broke on the spot!

There was screams in the street. Many people couldn’t help but close their eyes. They didn’t dare to watch this poor innocent little boy dying.

At this critical moment, Lin Xun swept out like lightning. He held the little boy with his hands and rushed to the roadside.

But the whip fell on Lin Xun’s back, making his back clothes broken and leaving a bloody whip mark on his skin, which was scorching and stinging.

The only good news was that the little boy was all right. He was just scared and cried.

“What?”

The practitioner took a look with surprise at Lin Xun, and soon he sneered and retreated his gaze as he didn’t care much.

Boom

At this moment, all the practitioners on the beasts came and stopped in front of Vulture House.

A bronze chariot pulled by four black scale horses was behind the practitioners. Although there was no other decoration on it, it had a ferocious and frightening momentum.

The four ferocious black scale horses and the guarding practitioners who led the way in front showed that the owner of this chariot must be extraordinary.

Lin Xun frowned. He gave the child back to his parents first and looked up at the black scale horse chariot regardless of the bloody whip mark on his back.
