"That's not right!"
"Did those two bastards steal all our bets?"
At the alley entrance, someone realized what was happening.
"Holy crap, my wife ripped me off the money she spent on soy sauce!"
"Damn it, I paid eight taels of silver."
"Stop yelling! Chase them!"
A group of people, full of menacing energy, chased after the direction in which the two had disappeared.
But no matter how many yards they searched, they couldn't find the two of them.
......
"Eighteen taels of silver and two hundred copper coins."
"Twenty-three taels of silver and five hundred and twenty-one copper coins."
Ten miles east of the alley, two middle-aged men were checking their harvest.
The burly middle-aged man put his arm around his companion's shoulder and asked, "What about the matter of you insulting my grandmother earlier?"
"Should I kneel down and kowtow to you?"
The skinny middle-aged man rolled his eyes.
What good will it do me to make you kneel down?
"Three taels of silver, or I'll let you taste the iron fist of royalty."
The burly middle-aged man grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
"Zhou Tianxiong, you son of a bitch!"
The skinny middle-aged man looked displeased, but still took out three more taels of silver and handed it over.
This bastard is going to have no bottom line anymore.
"Old Yan, I'm telling you, stop swearing all the time."
"You've been studying for over a thousand years, how come you talk like a thug!"
Zhou Tianxiong put away the silver with satisfaction, and then began to lecture.
He never had the chance before.
Now this old rascal is up to his old tricks again, and he's asking me for help.
We can't miss such a good opportunity; let's have a good talk with him.
"I'm the fuck..."
Yan Mingshu's voice stopped abruptly, and he immediately took out a Qiankun bag.
The bag contained, surprisingly, a series of communication stones.
Each communication stone has a different marking.
He took out the communication stone marked with the name Hehuan and began to read the information inside.
Upon seeing those communication stones, Zhou Tianxiong's eye muscles twitched almost imperceptibly.
Scholars...are all filthy-hearted.
He said he was going to retire and enjoy his retirement, but he quietly accomplished so many great things.
"Hehuan", "Tianquan", "Yanyang"...
Looking around, all you see are those top-tier immortal sects.
Who knows how many hidden agents this guy has planted?
......
"Ning Chen is dead?"
Yan Mingshu frowned, then looked at Zhou Tianxiong: "Did you have someone do this?"
"What Ning Chen? Whose nobody is he?"
Zhou Tianxiong thought for a long time but couldn't recall such a person.
"Forget it, it probably wasn't you. You don't have the brains for that!"
Yan Mingshu shook his head.
"No, what do you mean I don't have the brains? Explain yourself!"
Zhou Tianxiong said with a displeased look, "I was in my seclusion perfectly fine, and you called me out."
It's one thing to shout it out, but I don't know what you're going to do next.
Now you're going to call me brainless again, and I'm not having it...
"I know you're in a hurry, but you really shouldn't be."
"Let me think first, who would target Ning Chen?"
Yan Mingshu rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.
This game of chess has only just begun.
I haven't told anyone about my plans, so who will make the first move?
Is it the Famous Building, the Divine Machine Sect, or the Sky-Gazing Gate?
One sect after another flashed by.
But Yan Mingshu quickly rejected it.
I'm not trying to destroy the Immortal Sect, so these major sects couldn't possibly have foreseen this.
Was Ning Chen's death an accident?
Is Tianshui Palace a place where someone from another realm has come?
Yan Mingshu leaned more towards the latter, since as long as Ning Chen wasn't out of his mind, he wouldn't touch Tianshui Palace.
If he doesn't touch Tianshui Palace, those people from Tianshui Palace won't come out at all.
The only possibility is that someone has crossed the line and is trying to cause trouble.
A powerful figure who crosses over from another field is no pushover.
If a real war breaks out, the entire state of Ming could be destroyed.
No...call for backup!
"Old Zhou, I can tell you about the plan on the way."
But what you need to do now is call for reinforcements.
"Call your two sworn brothers, and I'll get those three guys too. Let's go to Tianshui City."
Yan Mingshu said with a serious expression.
"Yan Mingshu, you damn immortal, tell me what you're up to."
I need a reason to call for help.
I can't exactly say, "I think I'm good enough again, and I want to challenge them!"
Zhou Tianxiong wanted to say something more, but Yan Mingshu didn't give him a chance to continue speaking and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it, that bastard!"
Zhou Tianxiong cursed and left after leaving five hundred copper coins.
......
Shu Prefecture, Jianmen.
On the towering Sword Mountain, a figure slumped down as if on a rock.
Suddenly, he moved.
Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.
The moment he opened his eyes, the sharpness of the entire sword mountain was suppressed by him alone.
He was none other than Ye Baiyun, the Sword Emperor and master of the Sword Sect.
Ye Baiyun frowned slightly and took the communication stone beside him into his hand.
He was very unhappy because he hadn't gained anything from his seclusion and had been disturbed.
But soon, his furrowed brows relaxed.
A slight smile appeared on her tightly pursed lips.
Zhou Tianxiong, I think you're asking for trouble!
The message stone contained only nine simple characters.
"The battle for second place awaits you in Tianshui City!"
......
A thunderous roar echoed from the ancient, unyielding icebergs of the northern ice plains.
The tiny, dust-like figure kept crashing into the iceberg.
The broken ice blocks crashed to the ground like an avalanche.
Even the ground, as hard as refined steel, was riddled with potholes.
After an unknown amount of time, the person stopped.
"Tianshui City, rankings recalculated!"
Kuang Yutian smiled as he put away the communication stone.
Using human punching bags is much more interesting than hitting icebergs.
......
The East China Sea is dotted with islands.
What was once an unnamed island has long since become a pearl of the sea.
However, this island is now the ancestral home of the Li family.
Only a handful of people are allowed free access to the ancestral land.
Deep within the island lies a waterfall.
The cave hidden deep within the waterfall has long since been opened with a skylight.
The radiance of the sun and moon can all enter.
However, the interior remains simple.
A bed, a sword, and a person.
The person, however, looked rather pitiful.
Unruly hair, coupled with a face that tells a story.
No one could have imagined that Zhang Jin, the Tide Sword, who was once qualified to leave his mark on the century-old alliance, would be in such a state now.
At this moment, a woman was floating above the cave.
The woman, carrying a knife, her eyebrows raised in anger, shouted, "Zhang Jin, you'd better come out here if you dare!"
"Li Xiaoxiao, if you dare, come in and hit me."
Zhang Jin stood tall and proud, full of confidence.
He knew his wife's temperament very well.
I got caught drinking and partying this time, I'm sure I'll be skinned alive when I get out.
Explanation is definitely not going to work.
Don't tell me you only glanced at it and didn't do anything out of line.
Even stepping onto that street would be considered a death sentence in this woman's eyes.
Fortunately... there is this cave.
This is the only place where that woman dares not lose her temper.
I never imagined that after all these years... I would still need Brother Fan to save my life.
well!
Brother Fan, if only you were alive.
