Chapter 96: Sword Swirls, Strong Wind Shatters Plum Blossoms! (Thanks to Ruoyue Linchun Alliance!)

The chaos has temporarily subsided, but the public's uneasy mood has not subsided.

"What kind of martial arts is this?"

Hou Yan of the Zhenyang Gang had a solemn expression on his face as he reached out to check the body of the elder inside the gang. He was nearly hacked to death by the traitor.

No one could explain his doubts, and apart from knowing that it was related to the Demon Sect, there was no other accurate information.

Mayor Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and the scene of the Eight Demons in Yizhuang appeared in his mind again.

He connected a series of information together, including the Ren family in Sheqi, Anshan Temple, the Taoist temple in the city, missing persons from the eight major forces, and evil poisons.

The old monster from the Demon Sect's magic skills have probably improved again.

'The highest secret of the demon is profound and mysterious, revealing the true wonders'

'The highest interpretation of the ultimate martial arts.'

Yang Zhen thought of Zhou Lao Mo's crazy look and his words, but he didn't try to clear up Hou Yan's confusion. Because speaking it out would do no good except to create anxiety.

Yang Zhen glanced around the hall and walked towards Zhou Yi.

Wu Dexiu was investigating the living, while Zhou Yi was studying the dead.

All the major forces in Nanyang saw that the master of Wuzhuang Temple was more interested in the dead. While others avoided those strange corpses, he investigated them one by one.

The rumors in the martial arts world are indeed true.

"How is Boss Qiu?"

Wu Dexiu didn't say anything immediately, and carefully examined Qiu Qianbo again. "Fortunately, Boss Qiu practiced diligently and had a powerful internal energy to protect his heart meridian. Otherwise, if this palm hit his back, he would definitely not survive."

"I can conclude that these people are in cahoots with the Yizhuang demon, including those from the Ape-Trailer Horse Gang. Their evil spirits come from the same source."

The people from the Gray Gang kept calling out "Gang Leader" and Qiu Qianbo opened his eyes slightly.

He wanted to speak, but Yang Zhen stepped forward to stop him: "Yang is fine, this matter has nothing to do with the Gray Clothes Gang. Brother Qiu, just focus on recuperating first. We can discuss everything after you recover."

Upon hearing this, Gang Leader Qiu closed his eyes.

Several old men from the Gray Gang stepped forward, said goodbye to Yang Zhen, and then bowed to Zhou Yi.

After Zhou Yi bowed in return, he saw that Gang Leader Qiu was carefully placed on the door panel and carried out of the hall.

"Master, we will take our leave first."

Lou Ruodan and Chen Ruiyang were filled with gratitude and would have had a good chat if the occasion had not been inappropriate.

Zhou Yi responded, and the people from the Dangyang Caravan greeted Yang Dalongtou and turned to leave.

Today we mainly discussed the issue of Zhu Can adding tribute, and we have now reached an agreement.

The subsequent chaos was caused by the seven major forces and involved the Demonic Sect. Most people were unwilling to get involved, so more and more people left.

"That ogre and the Demon Sect old monster must have joined forces."

Lu Zhong looked at Yang Zhen's wound and said, "If we die today, I'm afraid Zhu Can will attack the county town the next day."

"This evil magic is also vicious and unpredictable."

Elder Wu Dexiu, who was examining the dead body with Zhou Yi, said:

"The so-called refining of essence into qi, the innate essence is supplemented by acquired energy, and they released their innate essence without reservation in a short period of time, almost draining themselves dry and burning themselves."

"This method is overbearing and wasteful, but it can quickly unleash extraordinary power."

Elder Wu Dexiu shook his head and pointed at the corpse of Elder Chu of the Tiankui Sect:

"This person's energy efficiency is higher than the others. I wonder what's so special about him."

Lu Zhong said: "Elder Chu is a man of few words and is obsessed with martial arts. Perhaps his skills are even more refined."

Yang Zhen noticed something strange:

"Fu Taihong of the Gray Clothes Sect is also a person obsessed with martial arts. He was supposed to lead the team to Champion City two years ago, but he was delayed due to seclusion, so Luo, the leader of the Tuanjiang Sect, took over."

When Elder Chu burned out, he shouted in pleasure, strangely and crazily.

Zhou Yi sighed softly, "The more obsessed a person is with martial arts, the more difficult it is for them to resist extraordinary skills and ingenious techniques. Perhaps the old monster from the Demon Sect is taking advantage of this weakness."

"This is what caused them to lose their resolve and do unpredictable things."

After hearing this, several people felt that it made a lot of sense.

"It's good, it's good."

Master Jiechen of Xiangyan Temple clasped his hands together and said, "There's nothing wrong with being devoted to the martial arts."

Half an hour later.

Fan Naitang brought all the people who had been to Champion City this time.

Zhou Yi and Wu Dexiu checked the twenty-five people together and did not find any traces of evil spirits.

Among them was a protector of the Gray Gang, whose martial arts skills were not much worse than that of the elder who rebelled against the Gray Gang.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

If anyone could be bewitched and burned, Champion City would become a huge devil's den.

I’m afraid that all the forces in Nanyang will be unable to sleep or eat in peace.

Ren Zhi, who had been watching silently, saw this and stood up to say goodbye.

Ji Yinong, Hou Yan and the leader of Chaoshui Gang, Zeng, also left one after another.

Seeing Yang Zhen's embarrassment, Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask, "Why would the Big Dragon need us?"

"This..." Yang Zhen hesitated to speak.

Wu Dexiu is a very upright person, but he is not stubborn. "But are there still some people who have dealt with Champion City?"

"If the leader is worried, just bring him here." Zhou Yi also said.

Yang Zhen didn't care about doing more favors anymore. He clasped his fists and said, "Please stay in the gang for a while. This matter will be resolved within seven days."

Wu Dexiu agreed immediately.

Zhou Yi said: "No problem, please send someone to inform my temple."

Yang Zhen thanks again.

At the instruction of old man Lu Chong, Ying Yu and Lu Wuxia acted as the messenger again.

Yang Zhen was very cautious. The first people he checked were several city gate guards, and then some big merchants who did business with Champion City.

certainly

The big boss's approach to these big businessmen is very gentle.

After all, Nanyang's prosperity cannot be separated from them.

First, please come to my house for a discussion, persuade them with emotion and reason, and then introduce them to the master of Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhou Yi had the illusion that he was having a joint consultation with Wu Dexiu, a great doctor in Nanyang.

Because these people have no problems, Wu Dexiu will also provide personal health-preserving prescriptions.

After a few visits, the business travelers who were originally strangers in the city suddenly became familiar faces.

Silk, porcelain, tea, herbs, weapons, salt, carriages, horses, and ships.

The number of people he met in the past few days was more than what Zhou Yi had met in all the previous years.

Taking advantage of Yang Dalongtou's face, he held one meeting after another.

If Wuzhuang Temple opened up to incense at this time, it could make a fortune just by relying on its reputation, because many big businessmen expressed their desire to go to the mountain to worship and burn incense after getting to know Zhou Yi.

In other words: make a friend and we'll give you money.

Zhou Yi was willing in his heart, but politely declined.

After all, as a neighbor of Zhou Lao Mo, you can't be too high-profile.

If this large sum of money from incense offerings is not received, the account will be put on Zhou Laotan.

Therefore, Master Zhou Tianshi suddenly became the creditor of Demon Zhou.

There are also several guards in the city who are responsible for guarding the city gates. Due to years of practicing external skills, their bodies have some problems.

Old man Wu Dexiu is not good at this kind of thing.

Zhou Yi, however, was a professional who used the Taoist body-building method combined with the Taiping Dan Sutra to point out the problems of several defenders.

For those who practice martial arts, this is a great blessing.

On the one hand, he made Yang Zhen owe him a favor, and on the other hand, he got to know the big businessmen in the city, which made the garrison commander express his gratitude again and again.

Zhou Yi felt a little embarrassed, as he had earned everything.

For seven days, Yang Dalongtou felt relieved.

The situation in the city was much better than he expected.

Zhou Yi should have gone straight back to Wuzhuang Temple, but Yang Zhen invited him to stay and hosted a banquet for him in the gang.

Old man Lu Chong, whose life was saved by Zhou Yi, was also present.

Although there is a big age gap between the two parties, they are already friends of the same generation.

Seeing that they were enjoying the banquet, Lu Wuxia and Ying Yu thought that the more they drank, the lower their generation would be.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi is used to following the rules of Taiping Dao and everyone discusses their own affairs.

We're all already familiar with each other, so how could I possibly take advantage of them verbally?

It was the eighth day after Elder Chu of the Tiankui Sect burned to death.

At the end of the Xu hour, Zhou Yi stayed in the quiet courtyard of the Nanyang Gang. Facing the light, he removed the sealing wax and checked the note inside.

This was sent by Chen Laomou in the evening.

After a while, he opened the wind shield and burned the paper.

The headmaster is quite active.

Zhou Yi's expression was stern, but he calmed down again in an instant and moved to the bed to continue meditating.

I have had a lot of social engagements these days, but I haven't missed any evening practice.

Great progress has been made on "The Picture of Lao Tan in the Coffin".

The location where the embers of Elder Chu's meridians lit up that day was the central point of the Du meridian.

With reference to the Ren Meridian Tanzhong point in the "Picture of the Great Emperor's Tomb", it is not difficult to understand that the central point should be trained to become a Qi orifice.

He has been in charge of cultivating the Dao Heart Demon for a long time and has been in the stage of cultivating and nourishing Qi.

At this time, with the follow-up, in just seven days, this central acupoint was opened up and became a qi orifice.

At this moment, the Ren and Du meridians are running in parallel, and there is an indescribable smoothness and pleasure.

That is to say, he has to stay under Yang Zhen's supervision, otherwise he would have been unable to hold back and would have tried his hand at it.

but

After absorbing Lao Tan's research results, and verifying them through the burnt corpses, and adding the insights gained from a long period of time on Wolong Mountain.

Combining these three, Zhou Yi has already surpassed Zhou Laotan in his understanding of the two diagrams of Dao Heart Planting Demons.

There is another point above the center, which is Zhiyang.

At first he wanted to try to open the "Shing Yang" acupoint.

However, it has never been successful.

Therefore, I began to doubt my own insights in the mountains.

But now, after training the "Central Point" into the "Central Acupoint", the true qi emitted from the Central Acupoint can actually connect to the Acupoint of Zhiyang!

The gap in the orifice that he had been unable to feel for a long time was now clearly exposed in front of him.

This trick is extremely domineering.

He injected a little bit of true energy along the gap in the wind, and immediately the inner demons surged, as if he had fallen into a huge cauldron filled with demonic fire and was constantly being burned.

Even though he possessed the three corresponding spiritual methods of the Immortal Mind Zen, Dayu Mo, and Sabrakan, Zhou Yi still appeared cautious.

After all, there is still a large amount of pure evil energy in the Danzhong point. If something goes wrong during the practice, it will be bad if it is exposed.

Zhou Yi practiced for more than an hour.

He tried switching between Xuanzhen Guanzang and Daoxin Zhongmo. Apart from mental fatigue, there was no conflict between the different powers in the twelve meridians and the Ren and Du meridians.

Then use Subhārakhan's secret method of the top of the head to flush from the Baihui point on the top of the head to the Yongquan point on the bottom of the foot.

The whole person feels refreshed from head to toe, and the fresh air of early spring is even stronger at the tip of the nose.

Mine is also a spiritual method of one day and one earth. I wonder how it compares with Bashiba's method of changing the sky and striking the earth?

Zhou Yi thought for a while and realized that he was thinking too much.

He looked at the mysterious relief in his mind again. There had been no movement since Xuanzhen Guanzang.

but

This relief makes one calm down and seems to be very helpful in grasping inspiration.

Zhou Yi tried to communicate again, but Fu Diao ignored him completely.

After meditating for another half an hour, Zhou Yi opened the door and looked at the moon for a while.

Smiled at the moon and went back to sleep

The next morning, Zhou Yi walked out of the yard and walked around the Nanyang Gang.

When the gang manager, helmsman, and elders saw him, they would either smile or greet him.

There are only those who lead the way, no one who stops us.

The largest gang in Nanyang has already let him do whatever he wants.

Thinking of Yang Dalongtou's steady character and his own identity as the leader of the Taiping Sect.

Zhou Yi found it interesting.

As he approached the inner hall, he restrained his expression slightly and prepared to talk about the same serious matter as Yang Zhen.

It just so happened that Fan Naitang, Meng Degong and Su Yun were all there.

As soon as he showed up, Su Yun warmly stepped forward and welcomed him in.

"Big Dragon Head, I have something important to tell you this time."

Zhou Yi got straight to the point, and the top four figures of the Nanyang Gang all looked serious.

Yang Zhen patted his chest lightly and said, "Master Yi, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will do it without hesitation."

Zhou Yi sat down and took the tea handed to him by Fan Naitang.

Leaving aside Chen Laomou, let’s talk about things related to Ren Zhi from the perspective of the Dangyang horse caravan.

After half a cup of tea, Yang Zhen frowned. He really wanted to ask whether the news was true.

But after taking a look at Zhou Yi, he realized that there was no need to ask this question based on his understanding of the abbot.

Su Yun was more straightforward: "Now that we have Zhu Can as our great enemy, Sect Leader Ren is still clinging to the Dangyang Horse Gang. Isn't this a matter of indiscriminate consideration of importance?"

"Master Ren is a smart man."

Zhou Yi offered advice: "With Zhu Can's influence, even if he destroyed the Dangyang Horse Gang, the leader would feel guilty about it, but for the sake of the overall situation, he wouldn't do anything to the major forces in the city."

"Master Ren could even pass the buck to Zhu Can later. Even if Pegasus Ranch wants to cause trouble, they can't infiltrate Nanyang. He's currently working with Huo Qiu, a wealthy merchant from Mobei. He's not afraid of the ranch using its connections in Saibei to put pressure on his caravans."

"So, be fearless."

Su Yun nodded and glanced at Zhou Yi.

The benefactor's words clearly meant that he wanted to save the Dangyang horse caravan.

Although he was extremely reluctant to force the leader, Su Yun still turned his gaze to Yang Zhen's face.

The same is true for Fan Naitang and Meng Degong.

The three of them have known Yang Dalongtou for many years and have run the Nanyang Gang together. How could they not know Dalongtou's character?

If in the past

I'm afraid the two families will be called to the gang for a talk.

Yang Zhen was silent for a moment, then looked directly at Zhou Yi: "Master, what do you want me to do?"

"The big leaders need to make their stance clear."

Zhou Yi had saved Nanyang once, so he had the confidence to speak bluntly:

"If Ren Zhi's subordinates take action, then catch them in the act."

"Kill this gang of people with lightning speed."

The four of them rarely did things like this in the city, and they all looked at Master Yi Guan, who was full of murderous intent.

"This move has three benefits."

"First, kill one to warn the rest, so that all the major forces will behave themselves."

"Second, to restore the reputation lost at Pegasus Ranch."

"Third, this action is in line with the covenant made by the eight major forces to act according to the rules and keep everyone in order."

"If the Great Dragon Head eliminates this trouble, there will be fewer troubles. In Nanyang, the Great Dragon Head still has the final say. We can't let those villains mistake the Great Dragon Head's kindness for weakness."

"Especially in the face of the crisis posed by Zhu Can, the city must not be in chaos."

The four knew that Zhou Yi had connections with the Dangyang Caravan, but he said this openly.

He even bluntly said that he wanted to destroy Ren Zhi's men.

Although we have inherent selfish motives, considering the overall situation, this seems to be the right path.

Yang Zhen asked, "Master, do you have anything else to add?"

"No more." Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head.

Su Yun looked at Zhou Yi, then at Yang Zhen, feeling a little anxious.

He felt that Zhou Yi should have been more tactful.

This kind of behavior is not the character of the leader.

"Big Dragon"

Su Yun's next words were interrupted by Yang Zhen, who slapped him on the shoulders with a pair of strong hands.

Amid the puzzled looks of several people, Yang Zhen stood up.

He glanced out of the house, a series of recent events flashing through his mind.

Then he walked over to the weapon rack on the side and said, "It's better to be younger after all. When I first founded the Nanyang Gang with a few brothers, we just wanted to make a living."

"I never thought that after all the hard work, I would become one of the eight gangs and ten associations in the world, and the largest force in the county. In the early years, I killed many enemies. At that time, as long as Yang Zhen picked up the knife, the enemies were very scary."

"But now, Yang Zhen is indeed old."

A tone of loneliness echoed in the inner hall.

Meng Degong, Su Yun, and even Fan Naitang all had complicated expressions.

Big dragon head.

Yang Zhen turned to look at Zhou Yi and said slowly:

"Don't be fooled by real people. Yang is not from a noble family. I am just an ordinary farmer. I rely on my physical strength to do everything. Later, I met a good master, and that's how I got to where I am today."

"I know what farmers fear most: war. If there's a war, many people won't have enough to eat, and many people will die."

"So, my only contribution in Nanyang over the years is to protect this place from war."

"Even though many people around here have their eyes on this place, they don't have the courage to take it."

"If one day we meet a wise ruler and the world is at peace, I, the great leader, will have fulfilled my duty and will return Nanyang to the government. The people of the county who support me will be able to continue to live in peace."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but bow to him.

"but."

"Given the current situation, if I don't do something, I'm afraid I'll never get the stability I want."

The slightly bent waist of the sixty-year-old man suddenly straightened.

On the high bridge of the nose, those calm eyes shone with a surprisingly sharp light.

Zhou Yi felt a strong momentum surging!

If anyone wants to challenge this big boss, this is definitely not the time to do it.

Yang Zhen stretched out his hand and gently picked up the crescent-shaped sword weighing more than 60 kilograms. The handle of the sword touched the ground. The air wave stirred up the dust but suppressed the dust so that it could not rise. It was like a wave of the tide, rolling towards the distance.

Yang Zhen touched the long sword and said, "Brothers, it turns out I can still lift the sword."

Fan Naitang asked coldly, "When has the crescent-shaped sword ever gotten old?"

Yang Zhen's eyes were fixed on the knife:

"The people of Nanyang County support me, so I am loyal to them. Master Yi saved my life, and I must not lose my loyalty."

"This time, Yang wants both."

"Big dragon head——!"

The left-hand sword and the right-hand sword shouted excitedly. At that moment, they regained the feeling of the past.

…

Eleven days after Elder Chu of the Tiankui Sect burned to death.

That night, the tranquility of Nanyang City was broken.

A fierce gunfight broke out at the Baiyang Temple in the city, which was the headquarters of the Dangyang horse caravan.

More than two hundred men in black rushed into the temple with weapons in their hands, attempting to turn the Dangyang horse caravan into a monkey-carrying horse caravan.

The two sides fought for a short time, but what neither group expected was...

A tall old man in a long robe rushed down the long street on horseback. The horse galloped faster and faster, and the sound of its hooves shattered the darkness with a strange rhythm.

Whether it was the men in black or the warriors of the Dangyang Caravan, they all felt a surge of momentum on the long street.

When some men in black came out to check, heads started rolling everywhere.

The crescent-shaped long sword illuminates the dark night with its blade light!

The Nanyang Gang's masters arrived and a large group of men in black were forced out of the Aries Temple.

And look outside.

The knife-wielding man reined in his horse, turned around, and charged.

He enjoyed the thrill of charging into the formation and the satisfaction of cutting off each weapon.

Every time he drew his sword, he had an irresistible momentum.

Unless you are a hero of the time, you will almost lose your fighting spirit if you feel the momentum when he swings his sword.

The heavy crescent-shaped sword only needs to be lightly swung.

Then people’s heads fell off!

It was a bloodbath of extreme violence. By the time the long street had completely quieted down, the yellow horse under the old man's crotch was covered in a blanket of blood.

Chen Ruiyang and Lou Ruodan left the Aries Temple and looked at the bloody warhorse in surprise.

The old man's back gradually disappeared in the night of the long street.

"Big Dragon"

Lou Ruodan was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at the burly man standing beside him: "Brother Shan, how did the abbot do it?"

Shan Xiongxin asked with a smile: "What did you do?"

Lou Ruodan whispered, "How did the abbot convince Yang Dalongtou? I haven't heard of him killing people like this in many years."

Chen Ruiyang nodded on the side: "I even feel flattered that Yang Dalongtou is helping us like this."

Shan Xiongxin shook his head: "If you want to ask about the abbot, I can't answer you. If you really want to know, then go ask yourself."

Chen Ruiyang nodded and suddenly said, "Then let me ask Brother Shan something he knows."

"What's up?"

"Just now, when the two sides were fighting, Brother Shan didn't help me, but instead kept defending the leader. Leader Lou's martial arts skills are higher than mine. Why is that?"

Shan Xiongxin looked at Lou Ruodan and said, "When I first came to your house, I overturned Boss Lou's precious horse. Afterwards, I realized that I was too rude, and I felt guilty about it, so I naturally wanted to help."

Lou Ruodan ignored Chen Ruiyang.

This person has been very obsessed recently, and he used to keep muttering about the "one-time meeting" between the owner of the field and Master Yi Guan.

"I'm so grateful for your help this time, Brother Shan. Next time I come back from the ranch, I'll definitely give you a good horse."

Shan Xiongxin was delighted and said without hesitation: "Thank you very much!"

This is a rich man’s ranch, where horses are given away at any time.

“That’s right.”

Lou Ruodan took out a letter and said, "This is written by my master. Please give it to Master Yiguan."

"good"

…

The next day, the news that Nanyang's leader Yang Zhen had taken action spread to all major forces.

The Nanyang Gang did not investigate the origins of the corpses, but simply displayed them in the center of the county town.

This is what happens when you don't follow the rules.

I have kept the knife for many years and now I am testing its sharpness.

Everything proves that Yang Dalongtou is not old yet.

Instead of panic, the people in the city were excited.

Many people went to see the corpses and cheered for the dragon head.

All major forces felt the changes in Yang Zhen. When Sect Leader Ren, who had suffered a great loss, saw the attitude of the Nanyang Gang, he dared not say a word.

Even when facing the Nanyang gang, he didn't dare to show any displeasure.

If Yang Zhen really wanted to kill someone, no one in the city could stop him.

There are many forces in the county city, but the most powerful one must be the Nanyang Gang.

And the strongest one will only be the one with Crescent Moon Blade!

The old monster of the Demon Sect, the internal strife in the county city, Zhu Can... a series of stimulations finally forced Yang Zhen to make changes.

After sensing this signal, many forces began to restrain themselves and review the rules of the alliance, unwilling to be the first to take action at this time.

The angry Ren Zhi wanted to cooperate with Ji Yinong of Yangxing Society.

but

The leader of the Yangxing Society has been staying indoors ever since he experienced the assassination attempt by the Grand Hall Council.

This time when Ren Zhi came to see him, he simply refused to see him.

I don’t know why the ambitious President Ji is so scared.

Ren Zhi despised him in his heart and embraced the grassland again. He found Korpo again.

The atmosphere in the city naturally spread to the Nanyang Gang.

Even the Dangyang horse caravan came to express their gratitude.

The atmosphere at Pegasus Ranch, which had been somewhat tense, eased again.

Yang Zhen was encouraged. Seeing the extraordinary peace and stability in the city for several consecutive days, he firmly believed what Zhou Yi said.

On the fourth day after Yang Dalongtou's killing spree, the four great masters of the Nanyang Gang stood together at the door, watching a green shadow disappear in the crowd.

Fan Naitang said with a cold face: "Master Yi is a very special person."

Su Yun asked: "How is it special?"

Meng Degong continued, "He must be very clever. He has clearly changed our working style, but he hasn't made people dislike him."

"Because he is right." Yang Zhen stroked his long beard, his eyes deep.

…

"Congratulations, Master."

In Meiwu Alley, Chen Laomou clapped his hands lightly. "Now, the Heavenly Master has firmly established his foothold in Nanyang. In the future, if there are any major events in Nanyang, the Heavenly Master will be able to influence the decision-making."

"With the eloquent speech of the Heavenly Master, Nanyang will surely develop in the ideal direction."

Zhou Yi said: "The big dragon head is a man of strong beliefs, don't underestimate him."

Chen Laomou shook his head:

"You should find an opportunity to confess to Yang Zhen that he is guarding Nanyang because he is actually waiting for a wise man. He, like you, rose from humble beginnings and deeply understands the suffering of the people. He will definitely support you."

"As long as Nanyang falls into your hands, I believe Zhu Can will be finished soon. Next, you will sweep south to Xiangyang and Hannan. With this momentum, with your relationship with Pegasus Ranch, Jingling will fall without a fight."

"At that time, with Jingxiang and Xiang under his control, the Great Sage and Good Teacher raised his banner, and the thirty-six generals were everywhere."

"None of the rebel kings in the world can compare to him."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly and did not answer.

Chen Laomou rubbed his hands together, a little excited: "How about it, the common ruler of the world, the Zhou Emperor, does this title of Heavenly Master move you?"

Zhou Yi sat down:

"I have a feeling that the next time I come here for tea, Mr. Chen will probably have someone put a dragon robe on me and make me suffer."

Chen Laomou said indifferently, "Dragon robes aren't rare. Even Han Gaitian, the Dragon King of the Haisha Gang, has a specially made dragon throne. Compared to the Heavenly Master, what is he?"

Zhou Yi looked at him intently: "Mr. Chen, you never used to say these things. How come you've suddenly become so straightforward?"

"Besides, Gang Leader Yun is not here. Do you think these important gang matters are appropriate?"

Chen Laomou nodded: "It's appropriate, because..."

"Because Gang Leader Yun will definitely obey the Dugu clan's decision."

"Because of the Nanyang issue, the Dugu Clan is putting pressure on the Zhenyang Clan in Guanzhong. Boss Hou is suffering terribly. If he knew you were in charge, he would definitely obey your orders, otherwise his wallet would be broken."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with the Dugu clan. It's just a personal relationship between me and Little Phoenix. Don't think too much about it."

Chen Laomou spoke frankly: "All the men in the Dugu family are useless. None of them can be favored by that old lady."

"As long as the Heavenly Master goes to the Eastern Capital and lets that old lady see you, the situation will be completely different."

"No, no."

Zhou Yi took a sip of tea, seemingly not listening to Chen Laomou's words: "I still have to practice martial arts, so I don't have time to go to Dongdu now."

"Mr. Chen, stop talking nonsense. I need to trouble you with something else."

Chen Laomou immediately showed a serious expression: "Keep an eye on Ren Zhi?"

"Yes."

"Big Dragon Head's attack this time dealt him a heavy blow. Judging from the way he dealt with the Dangyang Caravan, it's clear that he's not one to hold his composure. I'm going to wait for him to reveal a flaw."

Zhou Yi's eyes were cold: "He dared to hire someone to kill me, the bill for this is very big."

"Don't worry, Master," Chen Laomou said with a smile, "We have people in the Jingshan Sect."

After exchanging a few words with Chen Laomou, Zhou Yi returned to the city to buy a few ducks and then took the route to Wolonggang.

I haven't been back to the mountain for a long time.

After leaving the west side of the city, I walked about four miles.

suddenly

Zhou Yi slowed down his pace and felt himself being locked by a stream of energy. He couldn't help but look towards the river.

There was a thin old man in a straw raincoat fishing.

"Master Yi, please do me the honor of stepping forward and having a chat."

Without even turning his head, an old voice passed through the woods and reached Zhou Yi's ears clearly.

From this voice, one can roughly understand the strength of this person.

Zhou Yi turned and walked towards the river.

At this time, he saw that there was another fishing rod about ten feet away from the old man. He stretched out his hand to invite him, and Zhou Yi walked over.

The baits are all already on, which is very thoughtful.

"Where is my father-in-law employed?"

Zhou Yi casually asked when casting the bait, but he didn't expect the other party to respond: "I work under Kolpo. You may not know Kolpo. He is a Turkic. There is a Han Chinese named Huo Qiu. We both serve under Tuli Khan."

"Is it okay for you to tell me these secrets?"

"No problem."

The old man's skinny face smiled. "If Master Yiguan also pledges allegiance to Tuli Khan, then we are one family. We are one family, and we should not have different opinions."

"If Master Yi Guan doesn't listen to me, he will become a dead man. Even the dead can keep secrets."

"I heard that the temple master is an extraordinary person, but he can't still speak after death, right? If that's true, I have nothing to say except admiration."

He glanced at Zhou Yi with his eyes half open:

"In fact, you have a better future if you serve the Khan."

"What do you mean?"

The old man said, "The Khan appointed Keluochu, a symbol of the ability to communicate with spirits and gods, to be in charge of divination and sacrifice. The temple master is perfectly qualified for this position."

"Khan, what a great honor! It's a pity that I have never done any sacrifices, but I am good at making black."

Zhou Yi chuckled: "My chanting skills are not bad in this field. Sometimes I can even bring the dead back to life."

"Hahaha," the old man laughed, holding his stomach. "That's nonsense."

Zhou Yi didn't care at all about his ridicule:

"I don't seem to have offended Tuli Khan, so why did he send you to kill me?"

"It was Kolpo who wanted to kill you. You ruined his plan. There was also a leader named Ren Zhi. They both hated you very much."

Zhou Yi nodded: "It's about the same as I guessed."

"Besides being Khan's subordinate, does my father-in-law have any other identity?"

"Yes, I'm from Plum Blossom Gate."

Zhou Yi suddenly remembered something when he heard this. He looked at the old man's collar and saw a plum blossom logo.

"I heard there's a group of people near Xiangyang who specialize in robbing and looting. They're called the Plum Blossom Five Evils. Are you their leader, Gu Le?"

"That's my disciple. My last name is Ding, and I'm the sect leader."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yi with a complicated expression: "Master Yi Guan must have a big heart. From the moment I summoned you to this point, until now, you have remained completely emotionless."

"With this kind of mentality, the future is limitless."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "You are testing me. It seems that Sect Master Ding is not sure of winning."

"No, I like to make things clear before I kill someone. As long as I have the spare time, I won't let the person I kill become a confused ghost."

The old man pulled down his bamboo hat and said: "I have killed countless people in my life, but I don't have a single fool."

"Master Yi, give me an answer. Will you become a dead man, or pledge your loyalty to the Khan?"

Zhou Yi's fishing rod moved.

"Don't worry, wait until I pull this fish up."

Sect Leader Ding's face darkened. He looked at his fishing rod, but there was no movement and no fish was caught.

At this time, Zhou Yi had already caught a red koi.

The fish's scales shone in the sunlight, which was very pleasing to the eye.

"Master Ding, I'll win first. If the koi fish takes the bait, I'll be very lucky, but you'll probably be dead."

Zhou Yi threw the koi into the river and said, "I'll give you a chance. Go and kill Ke'erpo and then commit suicide. Then I'll leave a good tile for your Plum Blossom Sect."

"What a vicious Master Yi."

As the old man spoke, he waved his straw raincoat, and his wrist trembled seven times, shooting out seven winter plum blossoms.

The sound of breaking wind suddenly rang out!

Zhou Yi's fishing rod is like a sword. He uses his ears and eyes to move the rod like a sword, pointing to seven places.

“Ding ding ding!”

With every sound, the fishing rod broke an inch. One sound after another, the fishing rod broke six times in a row, and six iron plums were knocked into the Baihe River.

Zhou Yi's palms were filled with true energy, and he pinched the fishing line, holding the seventh iron plum blossom in the air. The fishing line was spun three times at a high speed, and he hit the old man with his backhand.

He held the silk in one hand and plucked the string with the other.

When the true energy was activated, the iron plum blossom bound by the fishing line seemed to come to life, floating in the wind without a trace, and hit the old man's Tanzhong acupoint directly!

“Shuh~!”

The straw raincoat on the leader of the Plum Blossom Sect exploded, and a sword light burst out from it, blocking the Iron Plum Blossom Sect. The reed under his feet bent and broke, and his skinny body shot out at high speed.

There was a clang of metal clashing as the two swords collided.

The movements and swords are fast, and both sides use almost the same tactics.

Sect Leader Ding unleashed seven sword strikes in quick succession, a look of surprise flashing across his half-open eyes, but this surprise was instantly swallowed up by his icy determination.

There is only a sword in his hand, only Zhou Yi's vital point.

The two men fought their way to a clump of reeds by the Baihe River. Sect Leader Ding used the Nine Plum Blossom Styles, and with seven sweeping shadows, he cut off seven reed leaves in an instant. The sword light pierced through the dazzling reed leaves and went straight through his heart.

Zhou Yi's sword was swept by the wind, and the reeds flew away. In the shadow, the tip of his sword collided with that of Sect Master Ding's!

He swept his left hand along the long sword, sending out a stream of cold air along the point where the two swords met.

Sect Leader Ding gathered strength in his left palm to absorb the cold energy, and Zhou Yi took the initiative by bending the long sword in his right hand.

At this moment, his sword seemed to be floating in the air, and large reeds swayed left and right with the sword's force, as if a natural breeze was blowing.

This natural rhythm made Master Ding feel a little dazed.

The next moment.

The silent cold light pierced his throat!

With a whoosh!

Sect Leader Ding's neck and body shrank at the same time, and he escaped from his outer black robe.

The sound of tearing silk echoed along the river bank, and Zhou Yi's sword light instantly pierced large holes in the black robe.

Zhou Yi chased the sword, and Sect Master Ding retracted his sword.

The toes of the two men fighting on the water stirred up a series of water circles on the river surface. The true energy on the sword was so fierce that it shook the tiny beads within three feet into water vapor!

A series of sword-clashing sounds echoed along the river, causing waves to explode and the flying fish to be chopped by the two men's sharp swords, causing their scales to fly everywhere.

While Sect Leader Ding was withdrawing his sword, he suddenly pushed his body forward, and this sword blocked Zhou Yi's long sword. The two men's true energy was shaken, and for a moment, it was unclear who was stronger.

But Zhou Yi's sword was an offensive move, and his next sword was faster than Sect Master Ding's.

The moment Zhou Yi raised his sword, Sect Leader Ding sneered and dropped his sword.

Five fingers formed into claws and grabbed Zhou Yi's throat!

This was a cruel method of exchanging life for life, forcing Zhou Yi to withdraw his sword and turn over.

At this moment, the old man reached into his waist with his left hand and a soft sword appeared.

He mobilized all his strength and swung the soft sword, creating a rather strange sword force!

Sect Leader Ding chased out with a sword, and his entire demeanor changed.

The ultimate killing move of the Nine Plum Blossom Styles, the power of shattered shadows and dark fragrance.

He seemed to be in a large plum blossom forest. A strong wind blew and the plum blossoms fell down.

His sword was walking in this plum blossom rain. The sword rolled up the strong wind and the plum blossoms shattered. The afterimage and lonely fragrance stood in the snow. The soft sword in his hand seemed to disappear in the flash.

It will only reappear when a blood-red plum blossom blooms.

With such sword skills, he has killed more fighters than he can count with three hands!

Zhou Yi had a blank expression on his face, not affected at all by the opponent's sword power.

He gathered all his strength, and a strange aura emanated from his body. The Wind God's Shadowless Sword suddenly emitted a sword wind, and the ghostly sword shadow was silent and ghostly.

Sect Leader Ding's plum blossom rain was suddenly blown away, his expression changed drastically, and he only saw his own sword, while Zhou Yi's sword disappeared!

This was the scene that the opponent saw when he was about to die.

He shares the same perspective as those who died.

Quick, his sword is faster than mine!

Sect Leader Ding felt a strange state of mind. Although the opponent was stabbing at him with a sword, he felt as if there was nothing there.

This strange state of mind prevented his sword moves from causing any interference.

The spirit that extended along the true qi seemed to become something despised by the other party.

“Ugh~!”

With a pain in his chest, Sect Leader Ding thrust his sword into the air. He was seen through, but he didn't see through his opponent.

This sword hit his vital point~!

Life passes by quickly.

Sect Leader Ding held his chest tightly, not moving.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

"The Wind God has no shadow."

"Why aren't you affected by my sword? Didn't you see the plum blossom rain?"

"I saw it. It was very exciting, but it was like a child's play."

Sect Master Ding spat out a mouthful of blood: "Are you despising my swordsmanship?"

"Your swordsmanship is not bad, but it's you as a person that I despise."

Sect Master Ding was quite satisfied: "Yes, it's not unfair for me to die at the hands of a genius like you."

He hurriedly said, "Kolpo said you have great internal strength. I fought you with swords today and thought I would definitely kill you, but I didn't expect to lose."

"But I've been in Nanyang for so many years and have never heard of your name. Yet you're so powerful and suddenly appeared. Are you hiding your identity?"

"Please, please, let me be a wise ghost."

Considering that he had revealed so many secrets, Zhou Yi said simply:

"Yongqiu, the Way of Great Peace."

After hearing this, Sect Leader Ding was startled. He stared at Zhou Yi and uttered the last words in his throat: "Tai Tai Ping Hong Bao"

"It was actually the Heavenly Master in person."

After saying this, he fell backwards into the river and died with his eyes closed.

He became a wise man and died a happy death.

Zhou Yi had a very enjoyable fight. This Ding guy was actually quite strong. He had sword skills, internal strength, sword momentum, and extremely fast body movements. He must be a top-notch figure in the world.

If it weren't for the many breakthroughs I've made in recent days, I probably wouldn't be able to fight him head-on.

Zhou Yi was very excited and prepared to go back to the mountain for seclusion.

"After I open up the Zhiyang acupoint, I will settle the score with those two bastards."
