"Heh, it seems I've put a lot of pressure on these people. They're even scheming against my newly recruited disciples."
After placing the information collected by Mu Hong on the table, Mu Qingyuan, who had just finished bathing, arrogantly straddled the bamboo mat.
The letter not only described what Dao Chengyi encountered in Woniu Village, but also the targeting that Mu Hong's forces had suffered during this period.
Besides the combined forces of the Niu and Liao families, the Mou family's own rivals, who were engaged in open and covert struggles, were also involved in this scheme.
The reason for this is that Mu Qingyuan, who has just come of age, has entered the ranks of martial arts masters and has successfully passed the three stages of muscle, bone, and skin! A twenty-year-old martial arts master is nothing special in the big city, but here he is quite rare, especially since there is a self-destructive young master who has been hiding for many years, which makes people wary.
"So, do we need to retaliate in kind?"
Mu Hong gestured to his neck, clearly indicating that they should kill each other. Mu Qingyuan smiled.
"Why go through all that trouble? Let's just have a good fight. The reason I've held back until now is to sweep everything away, isn't it? Let's do what the young master did, set up a ring, and issue challenge letters to the whole city. I want to see who can defeat me at the Martial Master level!"
"As for the rest of the place, let them do whatever they want!"
An unprecedented aura was displayed on Mu Qingyuan. At this moment, a strange beast with a completely black body and resembling a water buffalo appeared out of thin air behind him, treading on mountains, eating iron peaks, and splitting ridges!
There are no fixed absolutes in the three external training methods of martial artists, and this lack of absolutes runs through the entire martial arts system. As long as one has the ability, martial arts has never required narrow hierarchical distinctions!
"The path of martial arts should not be so narrow. I have been in seclusion for more than ten years, refining my internal organs and cultivating my inner palace. Martial Master is definitely not my end point. Martial Marquis is my starting point!"
"What about Qingmang City? My goal is the entire Louzhou."
The world is about to be thrown into turmoil, how can we fall behind? The mysterious Daoist has entered the capital, and powerful figures are rising up in all directions. How fortunate are the people of the world to be born in this era of great strife!
Mu Qingyuan walked barefoot, laughing loudly. As he moved forward, the entire bamboo house and courtyard seemed to be hammered by a heavy object, like an earth dragon rolling, and began to shake and crack continuously.
"This old servant obeys!"
And so, seeing the Third Young Master like this, feeling the awe-inspiring power and the submission of flesh and blood, Mu Hong willingly knelt down and kowtowed, sincerely believing that these words were not empty boasts but the future that was about to unfold.
It was at this moment that a letter arrived in Dao Chengyi's hands from the city. The reply to his report was only four simple words: "Do as you please!"
With a magnanimous superior, Dao Chengyi was naturally at ease and continued to wait for the competition. After all, he had some concerns before. Through the memories of that toad warrior, he knew that this situation involved a wide range of people, and he was afraid of being targeted for criticism.
"Just kill him a day later. While we're at it, we can also settle scores with that old bastard. If I don't have a chance to kill him, I'll at least have a chance to kill his son."
Sitting in the courtyard of Gou'er's house, Gou'er, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with a dark blue body and a stiff face, stood behind him like an iron tower. Gou'er was now a danger to ordinary people, so he could only stay by Dao Chengyi's side.
Looking in the direction of the landlord's house, Dao Chengyi narrowed his eyes. The toad man's memories clearly showed this situation.
It was the landlord who arranged for someone to contact Mang Dali to kill him in order to get revenge on the village chief, with the aim of smearing the village chief.
The fact that the toad man contacted Mang Dali was merely a front man for him, a middleman in the city doing shady business. However, the questionable point is that the person contacted by the landlord was Niu An.
Isn't Niu An one of the village chief's men? That's what's special about him—the landlord sent someone over the day Gou'er was injured.
It is said that all of this was actually a ruse by the village chief and the big hunter, in order to sow discord between the landlord and the village chief, because the village chief's son was practicing martial arts at the rival martial arts school of the Mu family!
There are two contradictory accounts, but Dao Chengyi leans towards the toad man's memory because this person is someone who values his life, has investigated the matter thoroughly, and most importantly, the money did indeed belong to the landlord's family.
As for the village chief? It's unlikely. After all, that old fox of his is always peaceful and doesn't get involved in any danger. Dao Cheng would never do such a thing, especially with the Origin Meat Seed. That thing is more valuable than ordinary meat seeds!
Of course, Dao Chengyi wouldn't let the old village chief off the hook either. He believed in killing the innocent rather than letting the guilty go free. Since his son was working for a rival martial arts school, Dao Chengyi, who was on the side of the Mu family, naturally had a firm stance and didn't want to let anyone in the village go!
After burning the letter to ashes, Dao Chengyi casually picked up the longsword he had bought at the blacksmith's shop when he left the city and began practicing swordsmanship. It was a swordsmanship that the toad man had memorized but hadn't practiced much. To avoid suspicion, Dao Chengyi didn't use the toad man's usual techniques.
Those familiar techniques and physical abilities were transformed by Dao Chengyi into a new type of second-stage Gu, the Human-Toad Gu. It can be used once or repeatedly. After use, it can transform one into a human with all the techniques and some of the physical abilities of a toad in a short period of time.
It can be considered a type of transformation Gu worm, and it also opened up a new idea for Dao Chengyi: could he refine multiple martial artists at the same time and then combine them to create a fusion transformation Gu, just like most of the famous mythical creatures have multiple animal forms?
The inspiration for this idea came from the dog. There are immortal demon gods in this world, and they must have bloodlines passed down. Different animals inherit some genes, and if they are fused, ancient genes may emerge.
With a tremor of the sword blade, there were still cold flashes and afterimages. Dao Cheng Yiling leaped forward, but in mid-air, he suddenly changed direction by stepping on his left and right feet at almost a 90-degree angle, landing on the top of a tree three meters high.
