<h4>Chapter 2024: Injustice</h4>


    Zhao Hai wasn’t surprised about the waiter’s respectful attitude. In the True Spirit Realm, no matter how strong they are, cultivators were always a cut above other people. Because of this, the waiter respectfully addressed him as Sir. This image of cultivators has been instilled into the people of the True Spirit Realm. It was there the moment they were born.


    Zhao Hai also knew that he couldn’t treat these people politely, otherwise they would be frightened.


    After Zhao Hai sat down, the waiter gave him another bow before leaving. Before long, two pots of liquor and four side dishes were served. Zhao Hai looked at the side dishes, one was peanuts, one was vegetables, one was tofu, and thest was a te of meat. The tes weren’t small. The liquor was ced in two porcin pots. There was also a porcin cup for drinking. Both potteries looked crude, they weren’t attractive to look at.


    Zhao Hai doesn’t care about this. He took the wine pot and poured it over the cup. The wine did indeed look a bit muddy and its alcohol taste was very weak. Seeing this, Zhao Hai knew that the wine hadn’t undergone distition. He couldn’t help but be curious and take a sip.


    The wine was slightly sour and its vor was quite pale. However, it has its own vor. Zhao Hai couldn’t help but nod. Then he turned his head to see the waiter bringing a huge jug over to the Demon Horse. The horse wasn’t polite, it lowered its head and began to drink the wine.


    Seeing the horse drinking wine, Zhao Hai no longer cared about it. The Demon Horse’s physique was very good. Not to mention ten jin, even a hundred jin of liquor wouldn’t cause it to be drunk.


    Zhao Hai took his chopsticks and then tasted the side dishes. To be honest, the vor of the dishes couldn’tpare to Meg’s cooking. However, it was a unique experience. It had the vor of the vige.


    Zhao Hai nodded. Although he wasn’t fascinated by the rural taste, he didn’t mind eating such food once in a while. He proceeded to drink more wine and eat more food.


    At this time, the sound of horses could be heard from the road outside. Before long, two horses stopped by the shop. Two warriors got down from their horses as one of them said, “Junior Sister, it’s been a long time since we’ve eaten. Let’s head inside this small shop to have something to eat.”


    The voice of a female was then heard, “Senior Brother, look at that horse. It’s very fierce. It eats meat and drinks wine. I haven’t seen something like it before.”


    Zhao Hai wasn’t paying attention to them at all, but when he heard them mention the Demon Horse, he raised his head and looked at the two. There were two people standing on the door of the shop, a man and a woman. The man looked to be in his twenties while the woman seemed to be a teenager. Both of them wore warrior clothing except the man had a long sword on his back and the woman had a whip tied around her waist.


    Standing behind them were two beautiful horses. One of the horses were chestnut red while the other was white. The two horses might look simple, but if one paid attention, there were a few feather-like hairs on their hooves. These few feathery hairs might not add anything, but having them doubled the value of the horse. This was because these feather-like hairs represented the pedigree of the horses. This horse was called the Wind Chasing Horse, which was a breed of horse that was best at running long distances. It was a horse with endless endurance.


    Seeing the two, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but gently knit his brows. From the weapons that the two were showing, they don’t seem to be disciples of the Tyrant de Sect. Disciples of the Tyrant de Sect barely used other types of weapon other than the de. Since the two weren’t carrying des, this meant that they belonged to another sect.


    But why would people from other sectse to the territory of the Tyrant de Sect? However, the two were still looking at the Demon Horse and hadn’t entered the shop. So it wasn’t easy for Zhao Hai to ask them what they were doing. After all, it was normal for other sects to pass through the Tyrant de Sect’s territory.


    Thinking of this, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but rx his brows as he continued drinking his wine. As for the two people, after looking at the Demon Horse for some time, they looked away and entered the shop.


    The two entered the shop and looked around. Their gazes stopped on Zhao Hai for a moment before they turned to another direction. They also ordered two pots of wine and four side dishes when they sat down.


    The waiter could see that the two neers were also cultivators. So he was very respectful towards the two of them. After they settled down, the woman turned to herpanion and said, “Senior Brother, now that we’re going to the Tyrant de Sect to visit uncle, do you think we will be able to learn something? Uncle is now an inner disciple of the Tyrant de Sect, he should be able to teach us a few things. Unfortunately, both of us only have one spiritual root. There’s no way for us to join the Tyrant de Sect. How great would it be if we became disciples of the sect.”


    The man sighed and said, “We can’t do anything about that. The Tyrant de Sect is very strict when epting disciples. Senior Master has three spiritual roots. Despite not having any proper training, he’s able to join the Tyrant de Sect. However, this is also good for us.”


    The woman nodded, “I’m really jealous of the disciples of the Tyrant de Sect. Although our Wu n is arge n under the sect, we’re still very farpared to the Tyrant de Sect.”


    The man nodded, “Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. Junior Sister, eat something. We still need to travel after eating.”


    Hearing this, Zhao Hai finally understood the status of the two. They were disciples of a n under the Tyrant de Sect. No wonder they weren’t using des. Although the Tyrant de Sect was focused on the de, their subordinates weren’t necessarily desmen. Nevertheless, disciples of these ns were given priority entry to the Tyrant de Sect. As long as the disciple has the qualified age and amount of spiritual roots, they would be epted by the sect as a disciple.


    As for those unqualified, they wouldn’t be disciples of the sect. They can only return to their ns and practice. Their weapons wouldn’t be restricted to the de, and they can use any weapon they want. This exins why the man was using a sword while the female was using a whip.


    If Zhao Hai reveals his identity as an inner disciple of the Tyrant de Sect, these two cultivators mighte and visit him. However, Zhao Hai has no ns to know them.


    At this time, the sound of hurried hoof beats could be heard. Before long, a ck steed stopped right on the shop’s door. Then from outside, someone shouted, “Young Master, Young Miss, are you in the shop? Return home quickly. Something happened to the n!” At the same time, a person wearing servant clothing stumbled into the shop.


    The servant wore a ck robe that would normally be elegant. But now, his panic-stricken facepletely ruined the image of the robe.


    The man and the woman quickly stood up and said, “Little Chen, what’s wrong? Did something happen to the n?”


    Little Chen immediately replied, “Young Master, young Miss, the n is being attacked. The patriarch asks you to return to help.”


    Theplexion of the man and the woman changed, “Besieged? Besieged by who? Who would dare attack the Wu n here in the Tyrant de Sect’s territory?”


    Just as Little Chen was about to answer, he looked at the people inside the shop and swallowed his words back. He only said, “Young Master, Young Miss, we need to return quickly.”


    The man looked at Little Chen’s appearance and knew that there were certain topics that shouldn’t be said in the shop. So he nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go.” Then he turned his hand and took out a piece of crystal stone and threw it on the table. After that, the three quickly left the shop.


    Looking at the situation, a glint appeared on Zhao Hai’s eyes. He also stood up and tossed a crystal stone on the table before saying, “Waiter, I’m paying.”


    The waiter quickly ran over. When he saw the stone on the table, he couldn’t help but be stunned. Although Zhao Hai also threw a piece of stone on the table, the one he threw was much bigger than the one thrown by the man, around five times as big. Moreover, the value of Zhao Hai’s crystal stone was more than ten times higher.


    The waiter looked at the crystal stone as though he was dreaming. After some time, he recovered. Just as he was about to say something, he heard hoof beats outside the shop. Zhao Hai just left.


    Actually, Zhao Hai only has a surface-level understanding of the True Spirit Realm. In the True Spirit Realm, ordinary people have threemon currencies, silver, gold, and crystal stone. Needless to say, silver and gold were the mostmonly used denominations. Crystal stones were considered a rare currency among ordinary people.


    As for the currency used by cultivators, the lowest was crystal stones. Naturally, these crystal stones were the highest quality ones. The next was jade essence. And then the highest value would be jade marrow. Jade marrow was a much better version of jade essence. Even the True Spirit Realm had a limited output of jade marrow. Because of this, top-tier cultivators of the True Spirit Realm generally used jade marrows as their main currency.


    The male cultivator was anxious to leave so he left a crystal stone without asking for change. The stone he took out was enough to buy the shop a dozenfold. Zhao Hai didn’t know this, so he thought that crystal stones were the general currency of the True Spirit Realm and threw out a huge piece. Naturally, this piece isn’t worth anything to Zhao Hai. But to the waiter, the crystal stone that Zhao Hai threw out was enough for his entire family to feed themselves luxuriously for a lifetime.


    The reason Zhao Hai left was because he wanted to go to the male cultivator’s n. They said that they belonged to the Wu n and had an elder that was an inner disciple of the Tyrant de Sect. It doesn’t matter if they were strangers. The most important thing was that the Wu n was in trouble. Seeing that the people on his side were having trouble, Zhao Hai naturally couldn’t ignore it.


    Zhao Hai was well aware that the disciples of the Tyrant de Sect were very united. If he encountered this kind of thing and ignored it, he wouldn’t be able to face the cultivator surnamed Wu in the future.


    At the same time, Zhao Hai also wanted to see who was so bold as to attack an affiliated n of the Tyrant de Sect. They surely have a lion’s heart and a leopard’s guts.


    Zhao Hai rode his Demon Horse and followed the three people. After traveling for three hours, Zhao Hai saw a hill in front of him. A vige courtyard was built on top of the hill. But when he saw the vige, Zhao reigned in his horse and stopped. He couldn’t help but frown.


    Although the vige courtyard was quite far, Zhao Hai could already sense a dense amount of ghost qi. The entire vige was covered by ayer of dark mist. From time to time, the wailing of ghosts could be heard.


    Seeing this, two characters couldn’t help but appear inside Zhao Hai’s mind, Ghost Cultivators! It might be ghost cultivators who attacked the vige. If Zhao Hai’s wasn’t wrong, this should be the Wu n’s vige.


    Zhao Hai’splexion couldn’t help but turn frigid. He didn’t expect ghost cultivators to attack a subordinate of the Tyrant de Sect in broad daylight. Where did they get their courage from?


    Thinking of this, Zhao Hai patted the side of his Demon Horse. The Demon Horse let out a loud neigh before its hooves nted itself onto the ground and elerated. After ten minutes, Zhao Hai heard the sound of fighting. On one side was the pair of man and woman he met in the wine shop. As for the servant, he was lying on his side spewing out blood. It was clear that he didn’t have long left to live.


    When he saw the attackers, Zhao Hai frowned. The man and the woman weren’t attacked by a person, but by malicious ghosts. The ghosts looked very strange. They looked like the lich that Zhao Hai saw in the underworld. Their lower parts were like smoke but their upper half wore full body armor. They also held spears as weapons. They looked extremely aggressive.


    The man and the woman weren’t very strong. They were only at the Rebirth Stage. Their bodies were full of wounds. Moreover, their injuries were turningck, clearly from the poison that the malicious ghosts carry.


    Seeing the situation, Zhao Hai pulled out his de as he charged over. His de lit up with a golden light as he attacked the ghosts. Wen! Wen! Wen! After a few shes, Zhao Hai blocked the attacks of the ghosts and reached the man and the woman.


    The horses of the two were already dead, so they could only defend against the enemy on foot. They were also heavily injured and poisoned. Just as they were unable to hold on, Zhao Hai arrived.


    After fending off the ghosts, Zhao Hai waved his hand and threw pills towards the two and said, “Eat the pills, quickly!”


    The two recognized Zhao Hai, but they also knew that this wasn’t the time to talk. They immediately ced the pills in their mouths. Naturally, Zhao Hai’s pills were top quality. The moment it hit their mouths, the two felt their spiritual qi recover. Moreover, the poison in their bodies were beginning to be dispelled.


    Being part of a n, the two were able to judge the quality of the pills. They immediately thanked Zhao Hai, “Qi Xin(Wu Ying) thanks Senior for your great kindness!”


    Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, “Save the words forter.” Then he released two Demon Horses and said, “Ride these. Let’s head over.”
