邪神之道 B1

The Thieves' Guild

The owner of the restaurant who recognized these youths' attires didn't tardy as he quickly went into the kitchen. These five youths are disciples of the Tiger Blade Sect.

"Senior brother Lei you must be looking forward to the upcoming war aren't you?"

"Heh of course."

The youth who puts on a more arrogant look than the other four is a Crowned Disciple of the Tiger Blade Sect.

"War?"

Ye Gui Feng's eyebrows furrow while he blinks his eyes before shifting to a curious expression.

"Our sect is finally going to rise up in the Moon and Stars Kingdom. Once we succeed I'll become the Crowned Disciple of a mid-tier sect."

Ye Gui Feng quietly listens from the back. But no matter how long he waited they never said anything about who they will be picking a fight with. Eventually they changed their topics completely.

There was no longer a point to remain here as Ye Gui Feng quickly finishes his meal in an unsightly manner and didn't even bother to wipe his mouth that is littered with sticky fried rice.

"Waiter, bill please!"

Ye Gui Feng pays for his meal using a single spirit stone before standing back up to leave.

"A war? Why do I feel like something bad will happen?"

For some reason Ye Gui Feng feels rather disturbed about this piece of information that he just came across.

Normally a random piece of information like this shouldn't be something that one needs to concern themselves with but for some reason Ye Gui Feng's head keeps thinking about it in a disturbing manner.

"I need more information... Maybe there's an information broker somewhere in this city. If I just pay them a bit I should be able to get more information about this."

Ye Gui Feng hopes that he was wrong in his bad premonition but knowing his luck he highly doubts it.

"..."

Ye Gui Feng tries to think of a place where an information broker might be. In the end his footsteps took him to the slums section of the city.

Paupers sat on the side of houses in ruined rags. Some of them carried staffs with them. All of them looks unhealthy and unfed for weeks.

The houses here are all in ruins and doesn't seem like they can withstand a windy day at all. Even just the slightest push might very well cause them to topple over.

"*Sigh*"

Ye Gui Feng sighs. No matter what world one lives in there will always be this inequality in wealth.

In the 21st century of Ye Gui Feng's former world this would all be ignored or hidden away by society through a thick veil making people think that it doesn't exist.

Even if this sort of poverty was seen most people would just think it was the problem of others and doesn't concern themselves with it.

Normally this kind of sight would deter anyone from entering the place but Ye Gui Feng had stepped right in.

"If I'm not wrong thieves' guilds and the likes are always located in such places."

Naturally all of Ye Gui Feng's knowledge comes from the games that he's played. After an hour of searching around Ye Gui Feng still finds nothing.

The looks that Ye Gui Feng is given by the paupers while coming through is starting to become uncomfortable as well...

Ye Gui Feng can also tell that there were quite a few number of people following him too.

"Tch. All of you come out I know you're there."

Momentarily ten poorly dressed paupers walked out. Some of them young, some of them old.

Their faces are covered up by dirt. But if one looks closely there is a slight bit of resemblance between them all.

"I'm looking for an information broker. If you can point me in the right direction I'll pay using spirit stones."

Hearing this some of the pauper's eyes lit up.

"If you're looking for someone in the thieves' guild there's a person named Gǔ Shé (骨蛇). Keep going north and look for someone dressed with a scarf around their face."

Ye Gui Feng readily takes out 1,000 spirit stones and hands them over to the elderly pauper. Seeing so much wealth the ten all looked on in amazement.

Ye Gui Feng didn't pay them anymore attentions as he gives a slight bow before heading on his way.

After 20 minutes of running in the northern direction Ye Gui Feng sees a thin figure dressed in a tight fitting set of black robes. Seeing as how they even had a scarf around their face they looked like a ninja.

"Gu She?"

Ye Gui Feng approaches them and whispers this name to which the person looks at him without saying a word.

"I'm looking for information."

Gu She doesn't say a word but instead places out an open palm.

"Seriously?"

Ye Gui Feng takes out four spirit stones and placed them onto the person's hand.

"Follow me."

Finally getting them to talk Ye Gui Feng follows after them.

After a few minutes of walking Gu She leads Ye Gui Feng to a barren area.

Looking around for any signs of people Gu She looks from left to right.

After everything seems clear Gu She crouches down and brushes the dirt covered grounds to reveal a door.

Pulling the door up Gu She shows a set of stairs that leads down and gestures for Ye Gui Feng to head in.

"..."

Ye Gui Feng who walks ahead soon finds himself at the entrance way into an old bar. It was somewhat spacious with a few customers.

Each of these customers turned to Ye Gui Feng but didn't say a word before returning back to their drinks.

"Come and sit."

Gu She took a seat by the counter along with Ye Gui Feng.

"There's a custom here. If you want information you need to order a drink."

Ye Gui Feng puts on a weird look

"What drink?"

"Anything's fine just order something."

"Owner, glass of... Uh spirit wine... On the rock."

The owner is a middle aged man dressed in a set of gray robes. For some reason he gives Ye Gui Feng a weird look before coming back with his drink.

This bar gives Ye Gui Feng a familiar feeling. It was as if it had been modeled after a wine cedar that's from his old world.

"What information do you want?"

"What sect is the Tiger Blade Sect fighting in the upcoming war?"

The owner opens up his hand demanding for money to which Ye Gui Feng frowns while taking out eight spirit stones.

Seeing as how the money looks to be enough the owner gives Ye Gui Feng his answer.

"The Burial Grounds Sect."
