In a medium size city, countless people and carriages enter it and leave it. One of these carriages is a common-looking one when compared to cultivators. Inside this carriage are two four people. One of them is a tomboyish maid. Another is a beautiful woman with short green hair and hazel color eyes.
The only man in the group is a middle-aged guy. With scars on his body and wears armor, a sword on his side. The last person is a beautiful woman with long black hair, tan skin, and grey color eyes. She is wearing a beautiful red color shirt with black color pants. Not her usual of clothing, but today is an important day and she needs all the boost she can get.
"My lady, can you now tell us why we in this city are?"
Fen asks as Zhihui stops looking out the window and at him. A soft smile on her face.
"We are here of course to see the fame new year's festival of Lanchéng city."
"….. So, the fame that no one has heard about it?"
Fen said with suspension on his face. He felt deep down that his lady has a plan, a reason to take them here. Is this nagging feeling that has saved him multiple times during his journey to where he is now. That is why he told the girls to be armed and ready.
He trusts his lady, for she always had a plan. Zhihui knew what Fen was thinking, the smile of her face got a deeper meaning as she goes back to looking out the window. Soon the carriage arrives at this city carriage park. Zhihui's disciples got out first, with her following behind.
"Excuse sir, do you know. Where the new year festival will be held?"
"Of course! You just got to go do-"
Zhihui looks around as Fen listing to directions given by the man. Zhihui eyes scan the numerous buildings.
'A lot of the buildings here are made of wood. One bad fire and a lot of the city will go up in flames.'
Zhihui eyes then land on the many mortal guards that are walking around. Most of them are decorated with jewelry and looked rather prideful at their wealth.
'The guards are bought.'
"Thank you for the direction, sir. Alright girls, follow me."
Fen said as he started to lead the way for the group. Along the way, he did not miss the looks Zhihui was giving to their surroundings. As he those the same. Coming to a similar conclusion as Zhihui. Zhihui smiles as she looks at Fen. As the party gets closer to where the festival will take place, the more people they started to see.
Soon the party found themselves in a large open main street. The sidewalk is covered with people. The street itself has countless dancing people and large cloth dragons holden by wooden sticks. There were also large carnival cars that were slowly driving down the street.
There were also people dressed as classical monsters rooming the street. These monsters will scare children and onlookers alike. Then the monsters were chased away by ancient dress cultivators. The cultivators will then gift the person a small gift.
"Eh, I have seen better."
Huan said with a bored look. Her girlfriend wraps around her arm.
"I quite like it, it feels homely."
"Of course, like I said, the best one I have seen."
Ru laughs softly at Huan's change of tone. Fen on the other hand did not take a jab at Huan antics. His anxiety did not let him rest. His eyes scan every single person, all are possible enemies and allies. Zhihui's soft voice enters his ears.
"Our enemies will show themselves soon enough."
Fen turns around and looks at her, her eyes bright and focused. Fen breathes softly as he just waits for the enemy to show themselves. The festival felt nice, as the party bought some cheap snacks and food to eat as they watch the festival go by.
Soon the main attraction of the festival came to view. It was a large wooden car, and on top of the car is a figure of a white color Celestial Dragon. The Dragon's mouth is wide open as the fire started to come out of it. The heat from the fire made everyone amazed.
"Wow! How did they do that?"
A random peasant asks. Fen saw the fire as he slowly started to get ready. His heart beat faster. As his hand hovers over the handle of his sword. Zhihui as well started to gather her Qi, ready for the upcoming fight. Only the lesbian couple stay with smiles on their faces while holding hands.
As the Celestial Dragon continues to breathe fire
Boom!
The sound of a building exploding shook everyone's ears drums. One of the wooden buildings had a large hole in it. Raging fires consume the old wood the building is made from. Screams came from the mouths of the peasants. Nearby cultivators rush towards the burning building.
Soon the sound of a sword swing enters the sharp cultivator's ears. As a couple of peasants were cut in half. A cultivator dress in all black with a sword in hand is the culprit of this. Soon more of these black dress cultivators started to appear. As the lives of peasants left and right were being extinguished.
A little girl, who has lost her mother, looks at the approaching cultivator with fear in her eyes. But before the evil cultivator finishes the life of the girl. His own life was extinguished. A large metal spike pierces the man's body through the middle.
His red blood spilled to the ground and was painted red. A soft female voice enters the girl's ears.
"Worry not- you got nothing to fear."
Zhihui said before turning to her disciples who were fighting their own battles.
"We will stop this [Business Massacre]"
