Infinite Gate: I Became a Martial Saint from Another World

After leaving the clinic, Zhou Hong rode his horse on the street.

As they walked, Zhou Hong asked Manager Yao, "Manager Yao, who was the person who wanted to kill you?"

Listening to Zhou Hong's question, Manager Yao said, "That guy, his name is Qiang Yao. Many years ago, I was a hunter and so was Qiang Yao. We were very good friends at that time."

"Hunter Stalker, what is that?"

"Hunters are people who help people in need solve various problems. Most of these people are warriors. Most of the orders they receive are to hunt down wanted criminals wanted by the imperial court, because the rewards given by the imperial court are quite generous. Of course, the more generous the rewards, the more dangerous the wanted criminals are."

"In addition to hunting down criminals wanted by the court, hunters will also take orders from wealthy families, because these people offer very good rewards, but this also means that hunters usually won't take orders from ordinary people."

"I see. It seems to be similar to the bounty hunters and mercenaries in my previous life."

Zhou Hong thought to himself.

Then, Manager Yao continued, "Qiang Yao and I have taken on many orders together before and received a lot of rewards. We were really happy at that time. Unfortunately, in the underworld, there are no permanent friends. Only interests are the eternal truth!"

"Once, we had a conflict over the reward for a mission. Although it was resolved peacefully in the end, it also caused a rift between us."

"One day, when we were wiping out a bandit stronghold, we found a treasure map. We were very happy because according to the information recorded on the treasure map, there were a lot of treasures hidden in the location indicated by the treasure map. If we find them, we can not only retire from the martial arts world, but also make further progress in the martial arts!"

"But then we were also very confused, because if these bandits had the treasure map, why didn't they go looking for it?"

"But we were so excited that we didn't pay much attention to it. When we found the place, we discovered that it was an ancient tomb. There was a lot of poisonous gas surrounding the tomb. Even warriors like Qiang Yao and I who are at the first level of the physical realm cannot ignore this poison."

"And judging by the scale of this ancient tomb, there must be countless traps inside."

"At this point, we finally understood why the bandits didn't go looking for the treasure. It's not that they didn't want to, but that they simply couldn't get in!"

"After analyzing the current situation, I planned to sell the treasure map in exchange for cultivation resources, but Qiang Yao didn't want to do that. He thought there must be other ways. Then the two of us started arguing because of our disagreement. The argument became more and more intense, and then we fought."

"But we both regretted it later because the treasure map was damaged during our fight."

"After seeing the treasure map was damaged, we both became enraged, and then we fought for our lives, using all kinds of killing moves on each other."

"In the end, I was more skilled and chopped Qiang Yao on the head. At that time, I saw that he was almost out of breath and there was a lot of blood on his head, so I didn't stab him again. I hurriedly packed up my things and left there."

"Not long after that, I quit the hunting business, moved to many places, got married and had children, and finally came to Qingwan Village."

"But as you saw later, Qiang Yao was not dead. He practiced some kind of turtle breathing method, so after I hit his brain, he used the method to enter a state of suspended animation. He told me all this before."

"After I retired from the martial arts world, he was also looking for news about me. He knew where I was many years ago, but at that time the Luo Kingdom court strictly controlled warriors, so he could only wait for the opportunity. When the opportunity came, he would take revenge on me."

"But the situation changed too quickly. Now that Mingluo Country is in chaos, he saw an opportunity. He gave up his previous plan and led his men to surround me. If it weren't for you, Young Master Zhou, I'm afraid I would no longer be alive."

After hearing about Manager Yao’s past, Zhou Hong could only feel that life is unpredictable.
