Chapter 356: Chapter 356

The man who had left his horse entered the inn.
“Welcome, guest.”
The inn owner greeted him.
“Room?”
“You’re very lucky, guest. There happen to be a few clean rooms remaining. Among them, the single room is the best, but it’s a bit expensive.”
Clink!
At that moment, the man took out a silver coin.
“Haha! This is more than enough. Will you also have a meal?”
The owner quickly pocketed the silver coin and asked.
When the man silently nodded, the owner guided him to an empty seat by the window.
“Please wait here for a moment and I’ll bring dinner. Hehe!”
After confirming the man had sat down, the owner quickly ran to the kitchen to place the order.
The man sat and slowly looked around.
More than half the tables on the first floor were occupied. Most of those occupying seats had weapons at their waists. Proof they were martial artists.
They paid no attention to the newly entered man and were absorbed in conversation among themselves.
“It’s really chaos. For the Demon Cult to seize southern Central Plains so quickly.”
“Indeed. All the routes to southern Central Plains have been completely blocked. It’s really serious.”
“Whew!”
“But people like the Four New Stars have appeared to oppose the Demon Cult, haven’t they? It’s proof that hope still exists in the world, so there’s no need to be too discouraged.”
“Right! We must believe that.”
They were martial artists who had voluntarily stepped forward to lend strength to Shaolin Temple and the Martial Alliance.
Most of the martial artists staying at Clear Flow Inn were like them. Though their individual martial prowess was weak, they still wanted to lend a hand before the martial world’s crisis.
The figures commonly appearing in their conversations were precisely the Four New Stars. Their appearance had awakened many people’s chivalrous spirit.
While people were chattering like this, rain suddenly began pouring outside.
Patter!
The rain fell fiercely as if it would sweep away the world. Rainwater splashed through the open window, but the man had no thought of closing it and indifferently looked outside.
At that moment, several people burst through the inn door.
“Oh my! The rain started pouring just as we arrived.”
“What kind of rain… Damn it. We’re all soaked.”
They were completely drenched like drowned mice. Shaking off the water on their shoulders, they approached the owner.
“Do you have any spare rooms?”
“Of course.”
“How much is the cheapest room?”
They haggled with the inn owner.
After that, several more people entered the inn to escape the rain. Thanks to this, the inn quickly became bustling with people.
Then the owner came carrying a tray of food.
“I’m sorry. Guests suddenly crowded in, so the food was delayed. Please enjoy.”
“Mm!”
The owner placed the food on the man’s table and returned to his place.
Even though freshly made food was placed on the table, the man didn’t give it a single glance. Like a stone statue, he looked outside for quite a while.
It was then that a gleam appeared in the eyes of the man who hadn’t moved at all.
A group was walking toward the inn through the rain. They wore bamboo hats on their heads and waterproof cloaks over their bodies.
As soon as they entered the inn, they removed their bamboo hats and cloaks. Then their faces were revealed.
They were all swordsmen emanating sharp momentum. Even though soaked by rain, blade-like sharp energy flowed from their entire bodies.
In their midst was a woman.
A beautiful woman with hair tinged with blue energy and purple cotton clothes that were particularly impressive.
Instantly, the gleam in the man’s eyes became even more intense.
