Murong Fu stood there dumbfounded, looking as if he had lost his soul.
"No...no way!"
"My whole life, I've devoted myself to this cause, but in the end, it all turned into a fleeting dream?"
"What can a cripple do to contend for the Central Plains and restore the Great Yan?"
In an instant, Murong Fu was confused, as if he were possessed by a demon.
Wang Yang didn't care about this; he had only crippled Murong Fu, which was already considered showing mercy.
Of course, destroying Murong Fu's dantian and qi sea would undoubtedly be more painful for him than killing him.
Not far away, Bao Butong and his four retainers saw this and were all dumbfounded.
No one expected that Wang Yang would be so ruthless.
Murong Fu had even abandoned his dignity and kowtowed to him, begging for mercy, but Wang Yang remained completely unmoved.
He still resolutely chose to take action against Murong Fu and cripple him!
"Young Master?"
"this?"
"It's over! Everything is over!"
"..."
The group roared inwardly, their eyes filled with resentment as they looked at Wang Yang.
After all, as the four great retainers of the Murong family, their greatest wish was to assist Murong Fu in restoring the Great Yan Dynasty.
But now, Murong Fu has been crippled by Wang Yang.
This undoubtedly shattered their dreams.
Although he was filled with resentment and wanted to devour Wang Yang alive, he was filled with rage.
But none of the retainers dared to utter a sound.
He was terrified of angering Wang Yang and bringing about even greater trouble.
Although Murong Fu's martial arts skills were crippled by Wang Yang, at least he was still alive.
If a person dies, then there's really nothing left.
At the same time, a system notification sounded in Wang Yang's mind:
[Ding!]
[The system detected that the host crippled Murong Fu, which is very much in line with the villain's style!]
[Reward received: Villain Points +6666.]
[Critical Hit Reward: +Star Shift (Mastery)]
Upon hearing the system notification, Wang Yang smiled smugly.
Earlier, he tore off Mu Wanqing's veil and gained 366 villain points.
With the 6666 villain points gained at this point, the total number of villain points is now 7032.
If it were before, Wang Yang would have directly exchanged 7,000 villain points for 7 years of internal energy from the system shop.
But this time, he didn't rush to exchange it.
He was thinking of accumulating more villain points before exchanging them for power.
After all, Wang Yang's current skill level is over a hundred years old, and his martial arts cultivation has reached the half-step terrestrial immortal realm, which even Zhang Sanfeng cannot match.
Seven years of training were utterly insignificant to him.
Even if he were to exchange for it, he wouldn't be able to use it to break through to become a terrestrial immortal.
So I decided to accumulate the villain points there first.
Then, Wang Yang turned his gaze to the distraught Murong Fu:
"Murong Fu".
"This time, I'm only crippling your dantian and qi sea; consider it a minor punishment to serve as a warning!"
"If you dare to act so recklessly again, I, the leader of this alliance, will surely take your life."
After uttering such harsh words, Wang Yang didn't wait for Murong Fu to respond before disappearing into the distance.
"Whoosh..."
After Wang Yang left, Bao Butong and the other four retainers all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a great weight had been lifted from their shoulders.
When Wang Yang was present, the sheer invisible aura emanating from him was enough to send chills down one's spine.
"Young Master!"
Then, Bao Butong and the other three exclaimed in surprise and rushed over to the crippled Murong Fu.
"Young master, are you alright?"
"That Wang Yang is truly ruthless! He actually destroyed the young master's dantian and qi sea!"
"How utterly despicable!"
"I only regret that I am not strong enough, otherwise I would never have let that scoundrel lay a finger on you, young master."
Murong Fu ignored what the four people said; his eyes were dull and lifeless.
He looked as if he had suddenly become mentally impaired.
Wang Yang crippled him, which was hard for Murong Fu to accept. He even felt that his world had collapsed at this moment. He had lost all his martial power and was even worse than an ordinary person. How could he restore the Great Yan?
...
The four retainers were in a panic. After discussing it, Bao Butong and Feng Bo'e went out to find a divine physician to see if they could cure Murong Fu.
After leaving Canhe Village, Wang Yang didn't linger and immediately took a boat and left Yanziwu.
Soon, he arrived in Suzhou.
Suzhou is a beautiful ancient city in the Jiangnan region.
Due to the warm and humid climate and low-lying terrain, there is a dense network of rivers, and most houses are built along the rivers.
As the saying goes, when you arrive in Suzhou, you'll find that every house is situated by the river. Ancient palaces are few and far between, but waterways and small bridges abound.
Looking around, one can only imagine a scene of quaint bridges, flowing water, and traditional houses.
Every brick and tile, every bridge and every piece of wood.
Everywhere you look, you can feel the classical charm of the Jiangnan water towns.
Afterwards, Wang Yang strolled around Suzhou, enjoying the food, drinks, and beautiful scenery.
Two days later, Wang Yang arrived at the Beggars' Sect's branch in Suzhou, hoping to find out some information.
"I wonder how things are going with Vice Chief Qiao?"
Wang Yang muttered to himself, recalling how Qiao Feng had traveled south to guide them to Jiangnan.
Later, due to being tied up with affairs of the Beggars' Sect, Qiao Feng left first. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Wang Yang that if anything happened, he could send a message to the Beggars' Sect branch.
After pausing for a moment, Wang Yang didn't think much of it and walked straight into the Beggars' Sect branch.
After some investigation, Wang Yang learned that Qiao Feng had already rushed to Wuxi City, saying that something had happened within the Beggars' Sect.
Wuxi City?
"Could it be that the Apricot Grove Incident is about to happen?"
Upon learning that it was in Wuxi, Wang Yang immediately thought of the Xingzilin incident.
Qiao Feng originally came to investigate the death of Ma Dayuan, but was later framed as the murderer by Kang Min and others, and his identity as a Khitan was also exposed.
Others don't know this.
But Wang Yang was very clear about it.
The entire Xingzilin incident was a meticulously planned conspiracy with the ultimate goal of "making Qiao Feng hand over his position as vice leader of the gang and ruin his reputation"!
He and Qiao Feng hit it off immediately in Ta Hu City, and he knew that Qiao Feng was a man of great loyalty and righteousness.
Now that Qiao Feng is about to jump into this fire pit, how could Wang Yang stand idly by?
"No, I have to get to Wuxi!"
"No matter what, we can't let Vice Chief Qiao be framed by those treacherous villains!"
Having made up his mind, Wang Yang didn't think much of it and headed to Wuxi.
...
Soon, Wang Yang arrived in Wuxi City.
The area was bustling with pedestrians, a truly vibrant scene.
However, Wang Yang had no time to appreciate the local customs and culture of Wuxi.
Instead, they went directly to the Beggars' Sect in Wuxi.
After some inquiry, it was learned that Qiao Feng had already gone to Xingzilin.
In addition, he also heard news from members of the Beggars' Sect.
Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, White-browed Eagle King, and other members of the Ming Cult were currently touring Wuxi City with Zhao Min, Shangguan Haitang, Zhou Zhiruo, and Jingxuan.
Wang Yang didn't have time to see Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, and the others; he went straight to Xingzilin.
After finding out the location of the apricot grove, he went directly out of the city, walked for about a mile, then turned left and followed the winding path into the countryside.
The area in front of us is full of fertile farmland, crisscrossed by rivers and canals.
After walking several more miles, Wang Yang finally arrived at the apricot grove.
