Chapter 143 The Overlord's Might, Treasures Appear in the World
Qingning County.
Lin's house.
Lin Aoshan, the Xuanhou of the Sky Patrol Division, is temporarily residing in the Lin Kingdom's Dragon Residence.
It was noon, in the pavilion in the courtyard. Lin Aoshan was enjoying the cool air under the pavilion, the cicadas chirping incessantly in her ears, while servants held nets to catch cicadas from the trees.
She sat with her legs crossed, her figure fully displayed. She couldn't help but complain about the poor location of the house. The sun was blazing, and the courtyard was stifling with heat; there was nowhere to escape the sweltering heat.
She was wearing the standard uniform of the Sky Patrol Division, which, though making her look dashing, was not very breathable and was extremely stuffy. At this moment, her clothes and boots were already soaked with sweat.
The fruit dish contained chilled fruit and watermelon. But it was gone in one bite, offering no relief from the heat.
"Little Sun, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"
Seeing Lin Guolong running back and forth in a hurry, his short legs leaving a shadow, Lin Aoshan was annoyed by the disturbance and asked.
Lin Guolong approached respectfully, performed a junior's greeting, and said, "Good Grandma, you may not know, but a major incident has occurred in our county."
"Oh?" Lin Aoshan asked, "What's the big deal?"
Lin Guolong said, "It's chaos, complete chaos. This morning, it seemed like the people from those three gangs and two factions had planned it all. Several brawls broke out on Xifeng Street, Luofan Street, and Shuixiang Street."
"It would be one thing if they started fighting, after all, people in the martial arts world often have grudges against each other. But they disturbed the people on the street, making them afraid to open their businesses. Even so, that would be one thing. The real problem is that someone was killed in the fight, and this matter is not over yet."
"This is very bad. Things have gotten so big. As the county magistrate, I should at least do something about it, but I don't know how. I'm at a loss. Good grandma, why don't you help your grandson and use your reputation as the 'Sky Patrol Division' to shake things up and suppress them?"
Lin Aoshan shook her head and said, "If you had even a shred of luck, would you be in such a passive position?"
Lin Guolong, with a fawning expression, massaged Lin Aoshan's back and said with a smile, "I'm just not very talented, so I can't do it. My master doesn't think much of me."
Lin Aoshan said, "Luck cannot be begged for. And luck that is begged for cannot be retained. If Master Fu were to pass on his luck to you, it would be a real waste."
"When a scholar has good fortune, he can reason with people. He can argue about the reasons and faults of all parties, and who would dare not take it seriously?"
“Good grandma, you’re right to reprimand me, but right now we should be thinking of a solution,” Lin Guolong said.
"If I'm not mistaken, this gang fight is all just an excuse." Lin Aoshan picked up a chilled watermelon and said while eating, "This is... aimed at that Wu Weilang."
"Ah!" Lin Guolong suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Then Brother Li is in a difficult situation."
Lin Aoshan crossed her legs and said with great interest, "I'm curious whether the newly arrived Wu Weilang can keep them in check."
"Furthermore... no one actually witnessed the incident of taking the enemy general's head from among ten thousand soldiers."
"Whether it's true or false, this matter will reveal the truth."
After finishing the watermelon, she wiped the juice from her hands on Lin Guolong's clothes and said with a smile, "Little Sun, go with your grandma to see what's going on."
"Grandma, shouldn't we take some soldiers with us?" Lin Guolong asked.
“No need,” Lin Aoshan said.
They immediately set off lightly, heading to Wenwu Street to find an open space and watch the excitement.
...
...
Wenwu Street.
At the entrance of Chunye Martial Arts School, people from various factions gathered.
Li Xian, led by someone, arrived at this place. The guide said, "Lord Wu, he's inside. Please go and mediate quickly."
They ran away in a flash.
The street was only so big, and now everyone had sent out their own people, blocking the way. People were pushing and shoving each other, forming a human wall that was completely impenetrable.
Seeing this, Wang Wu stepped forward and said, "My lord, I will clear the way for you."
He immediately shouted to the crowd, "Lord Wu is here! Make way at once!"
His voice was loud and clear; even in the noisy environment, everyone should have heard it. However, no one paid him any attention; they pushed and shoved each other, as if afraid that Li Xian would squeeze in.
"Lord Wu is here, can't you hear me!" Zhang Hou stepped forward and shouted angrily.
Then, mocking remarks came from the crowd:
"Lord Wuwei? Who is that? I've never heard of him. What does that position entail?"
"Yes, it's a dispute in the martial arts world. What is this 'Martial Dog Master' doing here, getting involved in the fun?"
"Could it be that you're hungry and have come to ask for water?"
"Haha, he's miscalculated. But... if you don't mind, sir, I'm really eager to get rid of this, and I have plenty of gold."
"Ha ha ha ha."
...
Zhang Hou and Wang Wu were furious. "How dare you disrespect Lord Wu!" They stepped forward together, grabbed one of them by the shoulder, and pulled him backward.
After pulling the man away, the two continued their attack, attempting to forcefully clear a path to demonstrate the might of Commander Wu. However, when they grabbed the third person, their hands went numb and they felt weak all over as soon as they touched his shoulder.
There was a master hidden among the crowd. Just now, the internal energy rebounded, and although Zhang Hou, Wang Wu and others were young and strong, their strength was not bad, but how could they withstand this hidden move?
With a scream of pain, he was thrown into the air by the shock. He nearly fell to the ground, but Li Xian caught him with both hands.
“Lord Wuwei, this…” Zhang Hou was filled with shame.
Then, laughter and curses came from the crowd: "Ignorant brat, do you really think you're something special? Now you should know how high the sky is, how thick the earth is, and why I'm your grandpa."
"Hehe, if you call me grandpa, I'll reluctantly give way to you."
"See? You got in just by talking. That's much more effective than using force."
Li Xian patted the two men on the shoulders, showing no anger. He stepped forward and said calmly, "I'm giving you one last chance. If you don't move aside, you'll bear the consequences."
"You son of a bitch..." someone cursed from the crowd. Before he could finish speaking, a large hand pressed down on his shoulder.
Then, with tremendous force, he was pulled so high that he was thrown three zhang (approximately 10 meters) into the air!
Li Xian's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He sneered and his hands moved like lightning. He grabbed the shoulders of the person in front of him and swung him backward with great force.
He personally intervened, so the force was naturally extremely heavy. Those blocking his path were flung away like chicks, some hitting walls, some hitting roadside stalls, some hitting…
They were like tigers among sheep, unstoppable and devastating.
He refused the toast, so he had to drink the penalty cup. Li Xian struck again, and no one could stop him. When he grabbed an old man by the shoulder, he sensed that the old man's internal energy was not weak. The old man was channeling his energy downwards and resisting desperately.
"Old man, at your age, still spouting nonsense... it could kill you," Li Xian said coldly. He knew that this was the one who had just sent Zhang Hou and Wang Wu flying, shouting insults and slander.
The old man was facing imminent disaster, his head covered in cold sweat, overwhelmed with fear. He tried his best to circulate his qi to resist, but it felt like an ant trying to shake a tree, the gap between them was hundreds of miles, and he felt an indescribable despair and a wave of sorrow.
In the next instant, a tremendous force pulled him away, and the old man cried out "Ah!" as he was flung away. Although he possessed internal energy, his blood and qi were weak, and this fall would likely kill him.
On a distant pavilion.
Lin Aoshan and Lin Guolong both witnessed this scene. Lin Guolong exclaimed in surprise, "This Brother Li is truly formidable!"
Lin Aoshan said, "If he can't even get past this hurdle, I'll really start to doubt his abilities."
"However... this kid is really strong, throwing people around like chickens. Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be exerting any effort at all, and he doesn't even use his internal energy."
"Could it be purely physical strength? That's extremely rare."
His gaze shifted to the martial arts school.
Inside Chunye Martial Arts School.
Miao Xichun's face was grim. These people had taken their act seriously and had already surrounded the martial arts school.
It was completely blocked.
Mei Rendu laughed and said, "Master Miao, please take out those treasures and rare items so that we can broaden our horizons."
“Yes, Master Miao,” Hu Shengnan said smugly. “You should see the situation clearly. Everyone has traveled thousands of miles just to catch a glimpse of those treasures. Surely Master Miao wouldn’t be so stingy?”
Miao Xichun said, "Hmph, you all want to covet my treasure. But there's only one treasure, and there are four of you. If I really take it out, how will you divide it?"
"Master Miao, what a clever scheme to sow discord!" Tie Xiong laughed loudly. "So, Master Miao is willing to give up those precious treasures?"
Miao Xichun said, "It's no problem for me to give up. But the problem I just mentioned still needs to be resolved."
"Gentlemen, before I take out that treasure, you'd better think about how to distribute it!"
"To avoid damaging our relationship and becoming a laughing stock in front of outsiders."
Although they knew it was a scheme to sow discord.
But everyone had their own ulterior motives, and no one ever thought about how to overcome the opposition and obtain the treasure for themselves.
All four thought, "These treasures are extremely rare. I need to find a way to get this old thief to hand them over. Then... we can each rely on our own strength to seize them. There is no other plan."
Hu Shengnan's eyes darted around, and she smiled, "Since Master Miao is so magnanimous and willing to hand over his treasures and rare items, then this treasure will naturally belong to the one with both talent and ability."
"Our character and morality need no further explanation. Now it is time to test our skills and martial arts. We are all martial artists, so let's exchange ten moves and the winner shall win."
"In this way, we can both maintain harmony and comply with Master Miao's good intentions. Why not do it?"
Miao Xichun's face was grim. Of all these people, he resented Hu Shengnan the most; this whole dispute was instigated by this woman. And in just a few words, she claimed he was willing to "give away the treasure," which was truly shameless and audacious.
Miao Xichun gave a forced smile and said, "Hahaha, Chief Hu is right. In that case, how about I first experience your superior skills?"
Having said that, he leaped into the air. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed the "Flying Flowers and Spring Leaves Hand," Miao Xichun's famous signature move, showing that he held nothing back and wished he could kill Hu Shengnan on the spot.
Hu Shengnan's expression changed. She was eloquent and thought her plans were brilliant. Little did she know that she had angered Miao Xichun, who was determined to drag her into the water.
In desperation, he raised his palm to meet the attack. Their palms met, and Miao Xichun's inner energy surged forth like a vast sea. If Hu Shengnan were to fight head-on, her inner energy would be greatly depleted, and how would she then compete for the precious treasures?
If you don't fight head-on, you'll inevitably get hurt.
"Iron Bear, why aren't you making a move!" Hu Shengnan said.
Iron Bear from the Bear Martial Arts School sneered and stood still, intentionally waiting for the two to fight for a long time, to wear each other down.
After a while.
Iron Bear suddenly attacked, saying, "Master Miao, this is extremely improper. As the host, how can you take back what you've given away?"
"Chief Hu, I'm here to help you."
A palm struck Hu Shengnan's back, the force of the internal energy passing through. Miao Xichun staggered back several steps with a "bang," seriously injured.
Hu Shengnan also coughed up blood and became weak.
Iron Bear's palm strike just now injured Miao Xichun by six-tenths and her by four-tenths. He killed two birds with one stone, extremely insidious.
"Master Miao, please hand over that precious treasure first. You don't need to get involved in what happens after that," Zhou Long of the Barbarian Body Martial Arts School said calmly.
Miao Xichun's eyes dimmed. He was on good terms with Zhou Long. But who would have thought that such sentiments would vanish in the face of such a treasure?
"Hahaha, fine, I, Miao, admit defeat!"
He immediately took out the [precious treasure] from his bosom.
Everyone's breathing quickened, and their eyes were glued to the screen.
"It turns out the dispute arose because of the distribution of the treasures."
"You guys are really something. Why don't you come to me, the Martial Commandant, for a decision on such an important matter, instead of fighting amongst yourselves here?"
At this moment, a voice sounded.
Li Xian stood outside the door, a mess behind him. He chuckled and said, "I have a brilliant plan that can resolve this dispute immediately. Would you all like to hear it?"
