Chapter 98 The Holy Emperor in Person

As soon as the imperial edict from the Eastern Capital was issued, the whole country was in an uproar, and the troops mobilized from all over the country also went to Liaobei.

Yang Guang personally drove to Zhuo County, waiting for the five armies to join forces, and vowed to destroy the Yuan Dynasty in Liaodong.

However, this trip did not go smoothly.

The common people are not fools and are unwilling to die.

Yang Guang came to Linyu Palace and executed the fleeing soldiers in an attempt to deter them, but it backfired and more and more people fled.

Across the lands of Kyushu and the world, the righteous armies are growing day by day.

On the Yangtze River, four huge warships, flying the flag of Lingnan Song Dynasty, were sailing upstream.

At the bow stood a young man dressed like a scholar, with a straight back and shoulders, giving people the feeling that he was well versed in martial arts.

"Uncle Lu, we'll be separated once we reach the ferry ahead."

Song Shidao looked at the man next to him. He was about forty years old, but had a head full of white hair and a beautiful silver-white beard, and had the bearing of a great man.

It was none other than the famous master of the Lingnan Song family, Silver-bearded Song Lu. Everyone in the martial arts world knew that he had a powerful Silver Dragon Crutches technique.

Upon hearing this, Song Lu stroked his beard and sighed:

"Back when Emperor Wen was in power, even though the head of the family had great talent and strategy, he still didn't dare to act rashly. Now, there are internal and external troubles, and the government is corrupt. Yang Guang went to Liaodong without fully understanding the situation in the world."

Song Shidao smiled and did not continue Song Lu's topic.

"I just hope I can get the deal done this time."

The Song family in Lingnan has always been engaged in the most profitable business, which is to transport private salt from coastal counties to inland areas by water to make huge profits.

They had a close relationship with the Duzun Fortress in Bashu by marriage, and they shipped their illegal salt to Bashu, which was then distributed by Duzun Fortress to local salt merchants.

The martial arts judge Jie Hui has great influence in Bashu, so most of this salt line is taken up by the two major forces. Even if other parties are jealous, they are unable to intervene.

But when they arrived in the Central Plains, the Song family's influence was greatly weakened.

For example, in Dongdu, Xiangcheng, Nanyang and other places, such businesses were mostly controlled by the Yuwen clan.

The Haisha Gang under its command has firmly suppressed the Shuilong Gang under the Song clan, and this situation has lasted for more than ten years.

But

Recently, a strange thing happened. The masters of Yuwen clan and Haisha gang suffered losses one after another in Nanyang.

Yuwen Huaji's son, Yaomao's followers, the Sea Sand Lion King, and Yuwen Wudi's capable general all died tragically.

Some people's bodies were never recovered.

Originally, the Water Dragon Gang barely managed to capture 10% of the business in Nanyang and was at risk of being swallowed up by its rivals at any time.

Right now, their business is getting better and better.

The Song family couldn't afford to miss this opportunity to use Nanyang as a gap to break into the heartland of the Central Plains.

Song Que had one son and two daughters. The second son, Song Shidao, was responsible for the operation of private salt.

In order to show his importance, Song Shidao went to Nanyang in person.

Song Lu stroked his silver beard, and seeing the ferry approaching, a look of caution flashed in his eyes.

"Although there is no war in Nanyang, it is not a good place either. The people who died are quite important and have different identities."

"It seems that the people in Nanyang don't follow the rules of the underworld. I'm afraid that the reputation of my Song family is not that useful."

"You must be careful on this trip and don't get into fights with others on their territory."

Song Lu thought of something and said:

"Many demons have appeared in Nanyang, and masters are emerging one after another. There are also rumors that a demonic tome has appeared in the world. We should not interfere with each other. You must not get involved, so as not to get caught up in the dispute over the demon sect's lineage."

Song Shidao nodded:

"Don't worry, Uncle Lu, I will put away my curiosity."

The two were talking when they suddenly looked towards the river bank.

I saw a man running fast along the shore, with seven or eight people chasing him. The running man turned around and slapped his palm, and a fierce and evil aura hit the two pursuers so hard that they spit blood and died!

The罡气 rushed over four feet, and the fishy wind blew onto the faces of Song Shidao and Song Lu.

Strange colors flashed in the eyes of the two.

Someone on the shore shouted:

"Captain, he's the guy who escaped from Nanyang!"

"Chase after them!"

Someone else shouted, "Hold him!"

Song Shidao and Song Lu did not intervene. Seeing that the people behind were chasing closely, the person who was fleeing stopped abruptly, turned around quickly and rushed back towards the crowd.

A pair of iron palms killed two people and broke the helmsman's weapon.

With a combination of fighting and defense, the eight people who were chasing him were killed by him in a short while.

after

The face with a hint of elegance turned to Song Lu and Song Shidao.

The masters on the Song family's giant ship gathered together, and Song Lu stretched out his hand to stop them.

The man on the shore took a look at the Song family flag, and went against the giant ship, taking the route of Jiangdu.

"The man who was killed seemed to be from the Baling Gang. How could these people have the guts to chase such a master?"

Song Shidao had a bad feeling: "Also, what's the meaning of the people escaping from Nanyang?"

Song Luchen turned his head back and ordered: "Don't go to Bashu, accompany the second young master to Nanyang."

"Yes!" Five elite swordsmen responded in unison.

"I've never seen this person's martial arts skills before. He seems to be from the Demon Sect."

"But the Baling Gang chasing after the Demon Sect members doesn't seem like their style."

Song and Lu were filled with suspicion and looked towards Nanyang.

"I don't know what happened in this place where the dragon rises."

"In short, you have to be careful."

"Once the deal is finalized, we will immediately withdraw from Nanyang and leave the rest to the Water Dragon Gang."

…

On Wolong Mountain, Chen Laomou was looking at a Taoist priest who was painting at ease, and couldn't help but read out the latest news.

This news is no longer limited to Nanyang, but concerns the situation in the world.

"Liu Jialun, a native of Yan'an, gathered a crowd of 100,000 people, proclaimed himself "Emperor," established the reign title "Dashi," and allied with the Jihu tribe in northern Shaanxi, shocking Guanzhong!"

"Meng Rang, defeated by Zhang Xutuo, staged a comeback. He captured Xuyi and burned down Yang Guang's temporary palace, Duliang Palace."

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "Mr. Chen, you don't need to read anymore."

Chen Laomou briefly recounted:

"Zhai Rang, Zhang Jincheng, Gao Shida, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, and Zheng Wenya are truly igniting wars across the land. Yang Guang is still in Huaiyuan Town, and the Sui Dynasty is powerless to recover."

He couldn't help but ask, "Can the Heavenly Master still sit still?"

"Of course I can sit still."

"Liu Jialun is powerful, but isn't General Qu Tutong of the Left Guard here?"

After hearing this, Chen Laomou was slightly stunned.

Because he hadn't read out the message yet: "The Heavenly Master gives me the feeling of Zhuge Liang being reincarnated."

"Lying quietly on a hilltop, yet knowing what is happening in the world."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "We in the Taiping Dao are the most law-abiding. Let them fight first, and I will deal with them after I have collected the debt."

Chen Laomou had been with him for a long time and was well aware of his intentions.

"The two people you owe money to are now being targeted by the Big Leader. They're doing business with Mobei, and Yang Zhen won't interfere. But this time, Ren Zhi has gone insane and boarded the Turkic pirate ship."

Zhou Yi threw down his pen and asked, "Could it be that he is colluding with Zhu Can?"

"You guessed right."

Chen Laomou sneered:

"To be precise, it's the Turks who are collaborating with Zhu Can. These grassland people want to take advantage of this opportunity to cause further chaos in the Sui Dynasty. With the help of Ren Zhi, Nakorpo is planning to sell a batch of fine horse harnesses and three-edged whistling arrows to Zhu Can."

“It’s almost selling at a discount.”

"Kerpo originally wanted to cooperate with Yang Zhen and bribed the major forces in the city, but these forces settled in Nanyang and each adhered to their own bottom line, so he failed to succeed."

"Now he wants Zhu Can to take power. If this ogre controls Nanyang and Guanjun, it will obviously benefit the grasslands."

Zhou Yi perked up: "I was just worrying about this."

"If I don't settle this account clearly, I'll have concerns about going out and doing things."

Chen Laomou joked, "Which city or county is the Heavenly Master planning to capture?"

"No, I just want to go out and relax."

Chen Laomou nodded in agreement: "It is indeed time to go out and contact other forces. Once the banner is raised and all places respond, we can be called the great and wise teacher of the time."

"Yang Dalongtou is still hesitant. I think he will come to pay his respects eventually."

Chen Laomou put the news in his hand on the table.

Zhou Yi gave two more instructions, and Chen Laomou returned to Nanyang City.

Two days later, the weather in Nanyang changed drastically.

There were continuous "boom" sounds and thunder split the sky.

The rain poured down in torrents, and the sky seemed to have cracked open.

The mountain stream begins to rumble in the cracks of the rocks, then becomes a torrent in a moment. The brook suddenly surges from a secluded path, boiling in an instant.

The thunder in the sky drilled into Zhou Yi's ears one after another.

He was not affected at all and sat quietly in the backyard of the Taoist temple.

He had been practicing the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian for three days, and was now practicing the ninth meridian, the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian.

As Xuanmen's internal strength grew again, the Zhiyang acupoint, which had not released any energy for a long time, finally opened up.

Outside, there was a heavy storm, and the green mountains suddenly turned into dark black.

And there seemed to be a violent storm inside Zhou Yi's body.

The cousin who was not far away had sensed it. She moved lightly and sat in the aisle leading to the backyard with the painting, not wanting to be disturbed by anyone.

One after another, true energy was injected into the Zhiyang acupoint. This acupoint that seemed to be unable to be filled was finally filled with energy due to Zhou Yi's unremitting efforts like Jingwei filling the sea.

From the Ren meridian's Tanzhong point and the Du meridian's Zhongzhu point, the qi of the Ren and Du meridians are connected in series.

Finally, the great Yang acupoint was completely opened!

The evil energy originally stored in the Danzhong acupoint was refined in an instant.

It becomes the purest true qi and merges into the true essence flowing in the body.

Zhou Yi’s Qi training speed was extremely fast, but the days were short after all.

Although his internal strength is pure, it is not as profound as that of the old-school martial artists.

This huge amount of evil energy is like ten years of hard practice for others.

At the same time, with just one exercise of energy, the subtle sounds of insects and ants crawling within a radius of ten feet can be distinguished from the rain.

This method of eavesdropping in the midst of chaos is even better than that of Shi Long, the number one master in Jiangdu.

Zhou Yi opened his eyes from meditation.

He drew his energy into the empty space of Sizhu, and a flash of lightning seemed to pass through his eyes.

This is a vision that can only be experienced by highly skilled practitioners of Taoism, and is called "electricity in an empty room."

This is enough to prove that he is not just practicing magic.

Zhou Yi saw Aruina raise her head and look at him. The dark blue pupils of the Uighur girl seemed even clearer and brighter in his eyes.

The mysterious and demonic skills in the body can be switched more freely.

It gave Zhou Yi a happy feeling of freedom.

He drew out the Zhanlu sword from his side, injected his true energy into it, and immediately the blade shone brightly, reflecting people's eyebrows and eyes.

One can tell at a glance that it is the authentic Taoist method.

But when his Ren and Du Qi passed through, the demonic energy of the Zhiyang acupoint became apparent, which made Zhou Yi himself stunned.

All I saw was Zhanlu, which was pitch black, and the evil energy above it was dancing like flames.

That’s right, it felt like the sword was stained with demonic fire, and the power of extreme yang was boiling.

Zhou Lao Tan practiced magic skills and made his eyes look like two ghostly fires. This was a manifestation of the magic energy.

It can be compared with Zhou Yi's manifestation.

Lao Tan's artworks are just crude folk porcelain, but Zhou Yi's are fine porcelain with a glaze as lustrous as jade.

This is the ultimate beauty that Lao Tan is pursuing.

"you"

The Huihe girl's expression changed, and she stepped forward. "Your power has increased a lot. Could it be that you have mastered the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Technique?"

"Who said I was practicing Tao Heart Planting Demons?"

As Zhou Yi spoke, all his evil spirits were absorbed and he transformed into a Taoist hermit.

When you see his gentle and peaceful eyes, you might be tempted to ask him for advice on Taoist scriptures.

Yina looked him up and down, and thinking of his identity, she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly: "Taiping Hongbao."

"How is it? Does it undermine the reputation of the Fifth Wonderful Book?"

Yina obviously agreed with the theory of the five great books.

"Well, it's very special. You have two completely different auras, and you are in a conscious state."

"Perhaps you are suitable for practicing the highest secret scroll in the Supracan. Unfortunately, the Najna Sutra is only in the hands of the Great Venerable."

She shook her head and ended the topic herself.

“Actually, I’m suitable for this.”

Zhou Yi took out the Laozi Xianger Notes and said, "In fact, the source of the magic is all here."

The girl stared at the scroll and couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, can you lend it to me?"

"Look, look."

Zhou Yi was very generous. He put the scripture in her hands and then walked briskly to the main hall in the front yard.

The girl's gaze was drawn away by his back for a moment, then quickly returned to the scriptures.

This is almost the treasure book of Taiping Dao and is extremely precious.

She had seen a certain Heavenly Master flip through it many times, especially during this period of hard training.

When I think of these, I feel a sense of trust in my heart.

Looking at the peach trees in the courtyard and the renovated roof tiles, the ancient colors of Wuzhuang Temple gradually replaced the endless green of the grasslands outside the Great Wall.

Zhou Yi walked to the Huang Lao Hall, lit a stick of incense, and muttered:

"My uneasy heart has finally settled down a bit. The future is long, please take good care of me, Elders."

Burn incense to Huangdi and Laozi and put it in the incense burner.

Turning around and listening to the heavy rain, I felt quite relaxed.

His eyes flew towards Jiangdu.

"First settle the two accounts on hand, and then find a suitable time to discuss Dao with Fellow Daoist Shilong."

When I thought of this, a smile appeared on my face.

Outside the temple, the rain was dripping, and it had been falling for three days and three nights.

The sound of footsteps disrupted Zhou Yi's meditation.

"Big Dragon Head, please come in!"

Yang Zhen visited Wolong Mountain for the second time and was invited into the temple by two strong men.

When Zhou Yi came from the backyard, Yang Zhen and Su Yun were taking off their straw raincoats, but they still had them on.

The two sides met and greeted each other.

"Why don't I see Brother Fan and Brother Meng today?"

"They also want to come here, but they can't leave."

Yang Zhen took the tea handed to him by Xia Shu and took a big sip.

Su Yun thanked him and put the tea on the table.

"Can the Master guess our intention?"

Zhou Yi glanced at the two of them, and felt that there was no need to hide anything, so he said directly:

"Because of the matter between Korpo and Sect Leader Ren."

"Exactly."

Yang Zhen was not surprised that Zhou Yi knew the news: "Yang is hesitant, please let the master guide me."

"Simple, just one word"

Su Yun asked: "Which word?"

"kill."

After hearing this, the two of them looked at him intently.

Zhou Yi said lightly, "Zhu Can is the biggest threat to Nanyang City. He is a vicious wolf. Killing the two thieves now is like mending the fence after the sheep have been lost. It's not too late."

"Today, the world is full of war."

"Korpo obeys the Turkic Khan's orders, has wicked ambitions, is stubborn and unrepentant, and is colluding with foreign invaders. If Nanyang wants to remain safe in this chaotic world, it must first stabilize the country."

"What do you think, Big Dragon?"

Yang Zhen didn't say anything, Su Yun said directly:

"In fact, the big dragon head and the master of the temple agree, but they haven't gotten over it in their heart yet."

Zhou Yi comforted:

"The Great Dragon Head acts with kindness and cares for old friendships, just like when he faced Qiu Qianbo. But Boss Qiu and Sect Leader Ren have different mindsets. One is a warrior, the other is profit-driven. Sect Leader Ren is completely obsessed with profit, and has forgotten all about righteousness."

"In that case, why should the Big Leader talk to him about morality and justice?"

Yang Zhen was silent for a moment and drank the hot tea in the cup.

"Thank you, Master."

"We will start in five days."

Yang Zhen spoke and said goodbye with Su Yun.

Zhou Yi escorted the two of them out of the temple.

"Brother, are they here to ask for advice?"

"Of course not."

Zhou Yi looked at the mountain road and said, "Dad Yang is devoted to protecting Nanyang. He doesn't want to be affected by the war right now. He must eliminate the trouble in the future."

"Then why did he chase the rain here?"

"I'm not sure about that. Maybe it's a statement of attitude, or maybe it's just telling me when to take action."

"After all, this is something only the Nanyang Gang knows about, so Chen Laomou can't find out either."

After Yang Zhen came, Zhou Yi gathered everyone in the temple.

When Dalongtou fights the Turks, Wolongshan naturally has to lend a hand.

"Do you want my help?"

"Need not."

Zhou Yi smiled at the Huihe girl and said, "This time it's the Nanyang Gang's home turf. I'm just going to pick up some bargains. You stay home and watch."

Arrange everything.

Zhou Yi was calculating the day to collect the debt, but unexpectedly, an uninvited guest arrived.

On the fourth day after Yang Zhen climbed the mountain, there was a commotion at the entrance of Wuzhuang Temple.

"You are being unreasonable, Taoist. When did my temple master owe you gold and silver?"

"Master Dao disdains to lie. Let me see your temple master."

Several people at the door still stopped him.

The Taoist was angry and shouted loudly outside the temple gate: "You must pay your debts. Don't be too frivolous."

“Come in, come in!”

A certain Taoist priest flashed out of the temple and dragged the short and fat Taoist priest in.

"Hahaha, I knew it was you!"

Taoist Mu entered the Taoist temple and laughed heartily.

"How did you know I was here?"

Zhou Yi looked at the short and fat Taoist priest.

"Isn't this simple?"

"Master Dao, I'll just ask around and find out where major events have occurred most frequently, and where the most supernatural things have occurred. I'll naturally be able to find it."

"but."

Taoist Mu looked around Wuzhuang Temple and said, "Isn't this the lair of that foul-mouthed crow?"

"When Taoist Crow returned to the Fugou Ancestral Temple, he gave this Taoist temple to me."

"I see."

As Mu Dao Ren spoke, he stretched out his hand and asked, "Where's the gold you promised me?"

"It is Li Mi who owes us gold, not me who owes you gold. Don't get the account wrong."

Zhou Yi glared at him, and seeing that he was about to speak, he interrupted him:

"But since you've come to see me, it seems you don't have much money. How about this, since we're old friends, I'll take you out to do something big tomorrow night."

"Are you going to burn the camp again? No, no."

"Don't worry, the risk is small and the reward is high."

Zhou Yi patted his shoulder and said, "Just go and wipe out one of the Turkic Khan's nests. How much you can take depends entirely on your ability."

Zhou Yi told him the details again.

Mu Dao Ren was moved.

Then he went back to his room and brought something back, putting it in his hand.

"Last time you gave me the Quanxing Method. This time I will give you a Buddhist secret technique that is very effective in suppressing inner demons and is suitable for the Quanxing Method."

Taoist Mu held the copy of “The Eternal Zen of the Heart” in his hand.

He calmed down and looked at it carefully.

After half a cup of tea, Mu Dao Ren realized that this skill was not simple.

He looked carefully at the records of the Eternal Zen Mind.

Although the text is short, it is profound and concise, and contains Zen ideas everywhere, which deeply touch the human heart.

Taoist Mu smiled and glanced at Zhou Yi, feeling that he had not misjudged him.

but

If you want to master such a secret Buddhist technique, you will definitely need a lot of time.

"This is a very easy-to-learn Zen technique. I spent a few nights and basically mastered it."

Zhou Yi spoke the truth and warned:

"The immortal Zen of the mind was taught by a great monk. Although he did not say it cannot be passed on to others, you must keep this method secret."

Taoist Mu nodded. How could he not understand this truth?

Suddenly I was stunned and thought of Zhou Yi’s previous sentence.

A few nights? A thorough understanding?

He couldn't help but recall the process of how his "Heavenly Frost Condensation Method" was learned.

Painful memories came flooding back.

It almost gave rise to another inner demon in him.

"Inhuman, inhuman"

Taoist Mu recited to himself over and over again, not treating Zhou Yi as a human being. This made him much calmer.

"I originally wanted to ask you for some money before leaving, but I didn't expect you to order me around again."

"Since you're such a good friend, I'll accompany you to kill again."

"Good brother!"

Zhou Yi patted his shoulder, feeling very relieved.

"By the way, do you know a fierce little girl dressed in black and holding a sword?"

"Um?"

Mu Daoren was looking through old accounts:

"I was just telling the truth, but she wouldn't let me say anything bad about you, and she almost drew her sword. Luckily, I was tolerant and didn't argue with this little girl."

"Of course I know her, but she's not mean at all."

Zhou Yi advised: "Now I have friends all over the world. When you travel around, just speak well of me, and you will have friends all over the world too."

"fart."

Taoist Mu looked incredulous. "I went to Li Mi to collect a debt, and his men learned of our dealings, and immediately attacked. If it weren't for my improved skills, I would have been shot dead by a master archer in Liang County."

Before Zhou Yi could say anything, Aruina walked in from outside.

After glancing at the two of them, Qingqing turned back to the backyard coldly.

Taoist Mu said "oh", as if he finally got it.

"Next time you meet someone like that, I'll say I'm your friend. If you meet someone like Li Mi, I'll say I'm your enemy. That way, I'll be very successful."

"Master Mu, you are really smart."

“…”

In fact, it didn't matter whether Mu Dao Ren came or not. Zhou Yi really planned to help him make some money. After all, they got nothing the last time they attacked Yuwen Chengdu's camp.

That bastard Kolpo is incredibly rich.

Taoist Mu originally planned to borrow some money and visit his few friends.

Hearing that Zhou Yi was in trouble, he was willing to help.

The two of them were teasing each other, but they were still chatting and laughing.

When they met again after a long separation, Zhou Yi knew that he liked wine, so he took out the oldest wine in the temple.

Enjoy several meals and drinks to your heart's content.

The next day, he used his Qi to force out the alcohol and prepared to take action.

Yuyang County is located in the north of Nanyang, and there is a river called Nieshui that runs through the county and goes straight to Xinye.

As night fell, dozens of large and small ships were seen floating downstream from the upper reaches of the Nie River.

All these ships are moored at Han County Wharf.

After several days of heavy rain, the water level at the dock rose and the wooden planks of the Jin Bridge were half submerged in water.

There is a large cargo hold near the dock.

Except for the goods purchased from Yuyang County, the rest of the goods in the cabin were shipped out from Nanyang City.

Guanjun’s business with Nanyang has not been cut off, but it has always been under control.

This does not include large-scale transactions in military weapons and equipment. Only the Zhenyang Gang and Zhu Can do this part of the business, and it is also strictly controlled.

Only when the head of the city, Ren, took advantage of the city gate defense and procurement, could Kolpo transport the huge amount of weapons and equipment out of the city.

Tonight is the night for purchasing goods in Yuyang County.

After both sides counted,

Kolpo then sent people to load the carts and head west, straight to the upper reaches of the turbulent water.

At that time, Zhu Can's large ship was waiting, and it sailed downstream to Guanjun City.

But

Ren Zhi and Korpo thought they kept it a secret, but they didn't expect that while they were counting the goods, a large group of people had already gone upstream along the Nie River.

A large number of people from the Nanyang Gang and the Gray Gang suddenly rushed into the Han County Wharf under the cover of night!

The secret sentries placed on the outermost edge were completely eliminated by the two gangs of experts.

By the time the sentry at the dock noticed, it was too late.

Kolpo and Ren Zhi gathered more than 300 people at the dock, not counting the Gray Gang. There were more than 800 gang members from the Nanyang Gang, and they were all elite.

Yang Zhen came here in person, and Fan Naitang, Meng Degong, and Su Yun also arrived.

At Han County Wharf, it was basically a one-sided massacre!

The quiet summer night was shattered by the shouts and sounds of weapons clashing.

Korpo was surrounded by many experts, including elite Turkic soldiers who were very good at fighting on horseback, but they were trapped at the ferry and had no room to perform.

When Sect Leader Ren and Kolpo saw Yang Dalong coming towards them with a crescent-shaped blade in hand, they gave up their last fantasy.

"Yang Zhen, you will regret this--!"

Kolpo's roar, filled with surging true energy, resounded through the night, and he and a group of Turkic masters fled towards the champion.

Yang Zhen was indifferent to his threats and chased him all the way.

Ren Zhi did not follow Kolpo. He jumped into the Nie River and headed towards Nanyang instead.

Ren Zhi was very sober at this time.

As long as you can return to the city, there is a chance.

Gather all the disciples of Jingshan Sect in the city, there are still thousands of them.

Yang Zhen did not want to see civil unrest, so he had the capital to negotiate terms.

As the night deepened, a fierce battle broke out at Huo's shop in Nanyang City.

The elite Turks in the shop, the wanderers raised by Korpo, and the debt collectors who broke into the shop started a fierce fight.

The towering man and the short and fat man cooperated again.

In the past, they followed a certain Heavenly Master to cause chaos in the Yingyang Prefecture Army camp and set fire to the entire camp. Now, this small shop is naturally not a challenge in their eyes.

That night, chaos broke out in many places in the city.

The Tiankui sect's masters cooperated with the Nanyang Gang to take action at night.

Yang Dalongtou carried out a rare weeding operation, which was also felt by other forces in the city, but they did not choose to escalate the situation.

Everyone was watching and counting the assets of the Jingshan Sect overnight.

For example, the leader of the Zhenyang Gang, Hou, was laughing so hard that he was silly.

This time, Gang Leader was investigating Ren Zhi, and Gang Leader Hou made silent and significant contributions.

Once Sect Leader Ren fell, all the joint businesses between the Jingshan Sect and the Zhenyang Gang became his.

Inside the Zhenyang Gang's inner hall, Gang Leader Hou listened to the commotion within the city, laughing as he calculated his calculations. Clearly, he was a skilled accountant.

"What's happening outside?"

In the Yangxing Society, Elder Yun looked at Ji Yinong who had returned.

"Humph, Ren Zhi, that fool."

Ji Yinong's face was full of sarcasm:

"He's wasted all these years, truly taking Yang Zhen for granted. War is raging now, yet he's living in the past three years. Furthermore, Yang Zhen has already warned him once, yet he still dares to collude with Zhu Can."

Elder Yun's expression remained unchanged:

"That's perfect, go gather the people from the Jingshan Sect."

"What does this city need so many people in charge of things for?"

Ji Yinong nodded, and then listened to Elder Yun slowly say: "Since the people from the Xieji Sect are in Guanjun City, they may make a move tonight. Send someone."

"Forget it, your people are unreliable, so please make the trip."

Why don’t you go?

Ji Yinong's mustache twitched and he cursed in his heart, but he still went to do his work with a smile.

The hour of Hai is deep.

In the north of Nanyang City, Sect Leader Ren, with his clothes completely wet, looked back at the Han County Wharf.

With hatred flashing in his eyes, he rubbed his face hard several times with his big palms to cheer himself up.

Ren Zhi looked towards the city wall of the north gate.

He squinted his eyes and focused his attention, but did not walk towards the city gate.

Walking eastwards around the moat for half an hour, he could tell the location of the Jingshan Sect by just glancing towards the city in the light of the stars and the moon.

This is definitely the safest way to return to the city.

He then used his Qinggong skills to take a few steps on the city wall, flipped over, and entered the city.

The Jingshan School is not far from the city wall.

If there was a commotion, with his skills, he would definitely be able to hear it from here.

Very good, there is nothing unusual with the Jingshan Sect.

Although Yang Zhen has changed, he remains unchanged in his essence.

The worst case scenario is that you lose face and beg for mercy, and you can still live well.

There was no obstacle to retreat, and Ren Zhi felt relieved and his face regained its spirits.

But

He had only taken a few steps when he heard the sound of bright footsteps.

This road is called Tuanhui North Street and leads directly to Jingshan School.

There are many alleys on both sides.

Ren Zhi stared at one of the alleys and suddenly saw a figure flash out.

He frowned slightly because this man's speed was extraordinary.

What made him even more heartbroken was that he saw the face of the person who came, and it was self-evident what this meant.

"Master Yiguan, it's you."

"Master Ren, you are the master of a great sect, why are you so low-key that you don't even go through the main gate?"

Ren Zhi felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face: "Master Yi, why do you have to do this? There was a misunderstanding between us before, but I am willing to make amends."

"As long as the abbot is satisfied, even if it's a fortune of millions, what does it matter? Just consider it as a small donation from Ren."

"wonderful."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Master Ren is well versed in the rules of the martial arts world. How about this: you compensate me with something, and we'll let this misunderstanding go."

"What does the temple principal want?"

"Life, your life."

As he spoke, Zhou Yi strolled towards him.

A huge feeling of oppression lingered in Ren Zhi's heart. At first, he still had the confidence to fight, but at this moment, he was intimidated by this momentum.

Hesitation in the heart determines whether to fight or flee.

but

Just when he took a step back and was about to retreat, Zhou Yi immediately caught the flaw in his mind. This feeling was very wonderful. He had never had such a sensitive grasp when fighting against others before.

The competition among martial arts masters also involves a showdown of wills.

At this time, Jingyun Shenyou stepped out and suddenly rushed forward.

He didn't even move his sword. His right hand turned into a claw and went straight for the face, while his left hand strangely slashed towards the waist.

Ren Zhi didn't think there was anything special about these two moves.

The opponent is so fast that his right claw is almost like a phantom!

He didn't dare to take it head-on, so he turned around and took a step aside, a short sword slipped out of his sleeve, and he swung the sword to pierce the Jianjing acupoint.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi's claws suddenly changed, and his five fingers were wrapped with icy true energy, which actually clamped the sword blade like an iron hook.

There was a dense chill between his fingers, and the sword went straight to the meridian points!

Ren Zhi was almost hit and quickly let go. The short sword lost his true energy and was immediately cut off with a snap.

He leaned back against the door of an official office, and his back hit the door panel.

Zhou Yi took advantage of the situation and pursued him, his right claw whistling. As the wind from the claw passed by, five finger marks appeared on the door panel behind Ren Zhi, and then it exploded with a loud bang.

“Hey~!”

Without time to think, Sect Leader Ren kicked the lanterns on the eaves of the government office away.

With the help of the flashing firelight, he could see clearly that although his opponent's moves were extremely fast, his techniques were not precise and there was a slight delay.

Then he slid his left sleeve, and another dagger emerged. This time, his sword technique changed, and he used a left-hand sword technique that was completely different from before. With the infusion of true energy, he stabbed the sword to the "Qimen Point" under the ribs!

Zhou Yi did not dodge or evade. His right hand suddenly made a crane shape, and with the help of Taoist mysterious skills, his technique changed, and the crane shadow floated and was difficult to catch.

At this time, the crane's hand grabbed and hit Ren Zhi's forearm, hitting the acupoints, and the left-hand sword technique was completely broken.

Ren Zhi was struck by another sword and lost his mind.

Then he saw a scene that made him shudder with fear.

Suddenly, the opponent's left hand grabbed over. That hand was no longer filled with Xuanmen internal energy, but with devilish energy steaming out. There seemed to be five balls of cold flames at the tips of the five fingers. The extremely pure Yang energy was to the point of affecting the warrior's spirit.

Sect Leader Ren only saw the hind paws chasing the front paws, and when he was about to boost his internal strength, someone grabbed his Dan Zhong acupoint!

A stream of true energy hit the Dan Zhong point, immediately cutting off the flow of true energy from the Ren and Du meridians.

The energy in Dantian can no longer be raised.

"Master Ren, your skills are quite rare."

Ren Zhi was shaking with anger, extremely unwilling: "I lost my mind and you took the lead step by step. Let me go and we can fight again."

"How can you, the leader of your sect, make such a joke? Isn't losing your mind considered a defeat?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "You are the worst of all the people who owe money."

Ren Zhi gritted his teeth and suddenly asked, "Who are you? Why are you a demon one moment and a Taoist the next? What kind of martial arts is this?"

"Nature is the most wonderful of the five great books."

Zhou Yi was too lazy to talk too much and just pressed down with his palm.

Ren Zhi was still thinking about the five great books when he trembled all over and died.

Zhou Yi grabbed Ren Zhi by the back of the neck and stepped onto the city wall.

Prepare to throw him into the rushing water.

suddenly

An extremely fast figure rushed out from the other end of the alley and looked towards him.

Zhou Yi instinctively used Ren Zhi's body to block forward.

then

The leader of Yangxing Association, Ji, who was sent by Elder Yun to gather information and came over after hearing the noise of fighting, saw a scene that he would never forget.

Behind the battlements of the city wall, a waning moon hangs high in the sky.

Ren Zhi, the leader of the Jingshan Sect, was grabbed by the scruff of the neck, his head tilted to the side, and those dead eyes were staring down at him.

Behind Master Ren, there is a man in black whose face cannot be seen.

A familiar yet unfamiliar demonic aura still lingered in the air.

then

Ji Yinong felt that he was locked by a stream of energy. If he wanted to run at this moment, he could definitely retreat.

but

Thinking that his face had been exposed, he felt worried.

Ji Yinong quickly weighed the pros and cons, clasped his fists and said, "I wonder which senior from the Saint Sect is here in person."

The man on the wall said nothing.

However, he responded in a way that was ten thousand times more effective than words.

A strange and pure demonic energy slowly rose up, and Sect Leader Ren became a possessed creature. His entire body was wrapped in the extremely yang demonic energy, burning like a flame!

That is not real flame, but a manifestation of true energy.

When Elder Yun first met Ji Yinong, he displayed his demonic energy.

But compared with this one, there is a world of difference.

Ji Yinong has already joined the Yingui Sect and is a connoisseur. The more connoisseur he is, the more scared he is.

Who else could be so arrogant in the Demon Sect and be so close to Nanyang City?

Evil.Evil Emperor!

In an instant, Ji Yinong's back was covered in sweat, and now he didn't even dare to run.

Unless you wander around the world like Gang Leader Qiu.

Ji Yinong's thoughts formed in an instant, and he knelt directly on his knees and shouted in a trembling voice:

"I didn't realize it was the Saint Emperor in person. I've offended him so much. I truly deserve death."

At this time, I didn't dare to raise my head.

The rules of the underworld are that you cannot judge a person’s appearance by his looks. If you do, you will surely die.

A young, slightly hoarse voice came from the high wall.

"You must be Ji Yinong from the Yangxing Society, right? I heard you were working for Queen Yin, and I was just about to come look for you."

Sure enough, the Evil Emperor knows everything!

This young voice is much more harmonious than Elder Yun's.

But I don’t know how old the old monster is.

Ji Yinong was frightened half to death when his identity as a member of the Yin Gui Sect was revealed. He thought quickly and came up with a way to survive:

"In my heart, the Holy Emperor far surpasses the Yin Empress, but unfortunately I have no chance to meet him. Now I am here to ask you, and I beg you to give me a chance to serve the Holy Extreme Sect."

"interesting."

The young voice asked, "Aren't you afraid that the Queen of Darkness will kill you?"

Ji Yinong said, "It would be very easy for the Holy Emperor to kill me. Now that I am serving the Holy Extreme Sect, I have saved my life and received the grace of the Holy Emperor."

"I am willing to hide in the Yin Gui Sect and spy on the Saint Emperor."

After a few breaths of silence that suffocated Ji Yinong, the young voice rang out again:

"Your life is saved. Go back and be loyal to the Queen of Yin."

"Yes, sir!"

Ji Yinong got up, bowed again, turned around and ran towards the Yangxing Association.

He wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, and his expression looked so ugly.

Zhou Yi looked at his back and couldn't help laughing.

This season's host is really capable of causing trouble.

Standing on the city wall, he glanced towards Nanyang County City.

He successively defeated the Tuanjiang Sect and the Jingshan Sect.

The rest of the Gray Gangs leaned towards Wuzhuang Temple. The Nanyang Gang and Tiankui Sect had a close relationship with him. The Zhenyang Gang was controlled by Xiao Fenghuang. The leader of the Chaoshui Gang, Zeng, was the most honest one.

Now Yangxinghui has also invested in a sense.

It can be said that the entire Nanyang County City is no longer threatened.

The rear area is basically stable.

Zhou Yi raised his hand and threw Ren Zhi's body into the moat. The surging water directly swept the body away.

He walked leisurely back to Wolong Mountain.

Soon after

Yangxing meets in a secret room.

"Why are you sweating so much?"

Elder Yun half-leaned on a soft couch covered with a blanket, and glanced at Ji Yinong with some disdain. Seeing that he looked absent-minded, he couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong?"

Ji Yinong stared at her: "Elder Yun, I...I think I saw the Evil Emperor."

Elder Yun sat up straight and said, "Say it again."

"He stood on a high wall, black demonic energy burning in the air like flames. The head of the Jingshan sect, Ren, was killed in an instant. I stood dozens of feet away, not daring to move."

Elder Yun stood up and stared at Ji Yinong: "Are you sure you saw that?"

"That's all I saw, not a single word is wrong. If we search along the moat now, we should be able to retrieve Sect Leader Ren's body."

"Elder, do you want to fish it out?"

"Fuck!"

"Did he see you?" Yun Caiwen only cared about this question now.

She opened half of the window and looked outside with some anxiety.

Ji Yinong took a long breath:

"If he saw it, Ji would have no chance of coming back alive."
