《Divine Martial Might At Peak》


 C1

    Youzhou, Ningyang City.


    The snow had stopped, and it was freezing cold after nightfall. A desolate crescent moon hung high in the sky.


    The main street of the city was empty. Many shops had already closed up. Only the lanterns on top of the doors could be seen swaying in the wind.


    On the east side of the street, there was an inconspicuous pub with the door still open. Behind the tall counter, the old shopkeeper was juggling his abacus while drawing on the account book with a pen.


    The stove in the corner flickered with a dark red light, and the firewood in the stove crackled from time to time.


    There was only one drinker in the tavern, and he sat at the table near the window. There was nothing to eat or drink on the table, so the two large wine jars were very conspicuous.


    The drinker looked young, around twenty years old. He wore a long grey robe and had a hair bun tied carelessly around his head. Under the dim oil lamp, his face was slightly sallow, and his eyes were hazy with drunkenness. Sighing stubble on his chin, he looked haggard and decadent. He was leaning on one side, one hand on the table, the other on the other elbow, his wrist dangling, rocking back and forth in a huge bowl with half a bowl of wine in it. The shockwaves rippled incessantly, scattering danger after danger.


    The old shopkeeper put down his pen, glanced out of the window, and rubbed his hands together as he walked over to the drinker.


    "Hung Tau, do you want more wine?"


    The drinker seemed to be immersed in some unbearable memory. He seemed to be in a daze and didn''t pay attention to the old shopkeeper.


    "Head? You... Do you want more wine? "


    The old shopkeeper''s voice was slightly louder.


    This time, the drinker finally looked away, and the hand holding the bowl stopped trembling.


    Gulp.


    After drinking the wine in the bowl in one breath, the wine guest wiped his chin and suddenly began to cough violently. With a cough, the drinker''s entire body was moved. His originally sallow face became pale, and even his facial features were somewhat twisted in pain.


    Pow!


    The drinker''s upper body sprawled on the table, knocking over the wine bowl as well.


    "Head ¡­"


    The old shopkeeper looked worriedly at the drinkers and reached out his hand to help them.


    At this moment, the wine guest''s coughing eased up slightly, and he noticed the old shopkeeper''s intention and waved his hand.


    "Billing, accounting."


    The wine guest propped himself up and said through gritted teeth, as if saying these two words would cost him a lot of effort.


    The old shopkeeper nodded and didn''t say anything. He returned to the counter.


    The drinker held onto the table as he slowly stood up. He covered his mouth with one hand and continued to cough heavily from time to time. With one step, he slowly moved to the entrance of the tavern. The moment he lifted the cotton curtain, a biting cold wind immediately blew in. The originally warm tavern instantly became ice-cold.


    The drinker staggered out. Under the cold moonlight, his back looked desolate and lonely.


    After a few steps, the drinker put down the hand that was covering his mouth and slowly opened it. A black blood clot astonishingly appeared on his palm.


    The drinker bent down and grabbed a handful of snow from the side of the street.


    This wine guest was called Hong Yang, twenty-three years old. It had already been three years since they reached Ningyang City, and was a constable of Ningyang City. Everyone who knew him called him Hung Tau, but no one knew where he came from.


    After leaving the Ningyang City and moving northwest for more than three hundred kilometers, it was near the Saibei Gobi region. There were two great clans whose names shook the north there ¡ª ¡ª Hong Castle and Ling Stronghold. These two clans were known as the Saibei Duo Xiong.


    Hong Yang was one of the people from the Hong Castle. and he was even the son of the Hong Castle Third Master, Hong Zhenbei.


    However, when Hong Yang was eight years old, Hong Zhenjie and his wife went out to do business and then went missing. The Hong family searched for a long time but still didn''t find anything.


    Hong Castle was a huge family, their clan was complicated and intertwined, the three leaders were in a tit for tat, and after the Hong Zhenbei couple went missing, their faction''s influence collapsed. As a result, the position of Hong Yang, who had lost his ability to depend on others, declined gradually. He was often abused and later on, he was lacking clothes and food, and was not treated as a member of the Hong family at all.


    Fortunately, when Hong Yang was ten years old, during a clan meeting, the Great Elder of the Hong clan found that Hong Yang had good talent in the field of martial arts, so he got someone to spend a lot of money to send it to his Taiyi Sect for cultivation.


    The Grand Elder had actually also worked hard. It wasn''t because he couldn''t cultivate in the Hong Castle, but to protect Hong Yang so that he could avoid the battle at Xiao Wall. He also wanted to see to what extent Hong Yang could cultivate on the road of martial arts. If he were to really achieve something in the future, in this world where strength reigned supreme, he would also be able to righteously return to the Hong Castle and regroup.


    Hong Yang had been gone for ten years. He had diligently trained in Taiyi Sect and his talent was outstanding. He actually became a warrior at the seventh level of the Origin Convergence Stage at the age of twenty.


    In this world where martial arts ruled, martial artists all cultivated origin energy. Moreover, their level of cultivation was determined by their degree of origin energy.


    Returning Origin Stage was the first stage of a warrior''s cultivation, which was divided into nine stages.


    From the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage, warriors were known as warriors. They would refine the heaven and earth origin energy into their own Qi, and then use it for themselves.


    If one could reach the Gui Yuan fifth rank, it would be a qualitative leap. At this time, they would be able to practice various supporting techniques, causing their combat power to increase by leaps and bounds.


    Ordinary warriors who were able to reach the Origin Convergence fifth rank were basically all above the age of twenty. On the other hand, it could be said to be a miracle for Hong Yang to have reached the seventh level of the Origin Convergence Stage at the age of twenty.


    As a result, Hong Yang was also recognized by the higher ups of the Taiyi Sect, and was promoted from an outer sect disciple to an inner sect disciple.


    He announced in public that three years later, when Hong Castle Junior Castle Owner s were going to take part in the selection, Hong Yang would be allowed to return to participate.


    In everyone''s eyes, Hong Yang''s future was limitless, but a sudden encounter had completely changed Hong Yang''s life. In a competition within the sect, he had actually accidentally injured the grandson of the Taiyi Sect elder.


    It was taboo to be in the same sect as others! As a result, Hong Yang was struck out of the sect by his master, and his meridians suffered heavy injuries. After that, he was unable to recover for many years, resulting in his cultivation being stuck at the seventh level of the Origin Convergence Stage.


    Even though he had encountered an unexpected accident, Hong Yang was disheartened. He didn''t have the face to return to the Hong Castle, so he just set up a constable there. All these years, he had spent his days in pain and regret, often using alcohol to numb himself when he wasn''t on duty.


    The master of the Ningyang City knew that Hong Yang was greedy for cups of wine, but he had never messed things up. Furthermore, he was a rare expert of the seventh level of the Origin Convergence Stage. However, this made the other constables very unhappy. However, Hong Yang was the strongest amongst them, so there was nothing wrong with it.


    Ningyang City was located in the northwest of Youzhou, which was the closest city to the Siebei Gobi. There were hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and there was an endless stream of merchants coming and going.


    These thieves were mostly rogue cultivators who practiced martial arts. They had no sect or family background, and lacked the resources to cultivate. In these past few years, the strongest Thief Hong Yang had met was only a warrior with the sixth rank of Innate Ranker.

 C2

    Hong Yang had trained in Taiyi Sect for many years, so he knew that training in the martial arts required a huge amount of resources, such as pills, techniques, equipment, and so on. As his own strength increased, the quality of the resources needed would also continue to increase. A high quality pill was often comparable to dozens of low quality pills, such as cultivation techniques and equipment. What''s more, they can''t be bought with money, and their value is incalculable.


    Thieves were basically just Fighters, so they had focused their attention on these areas. Furthermore, these thieves would not steal from those rich families. That was because the guards of those rich families were not weak, so they would be asking for trouble if they went. However, those shops on the street were often the places that Thieves frequented.


    In these three years, Hong Yang had captured a total of 40 thieves of various sizes. Furthermore, he didn''t kill anyone, and all of them were captured alive. Being called a benevolent arrest by the warriors near the Ningyang.


    Hong Yang only went to the small tavern on the east street because when he had just arrived at Ningyang City, the old shopkeeper had once let him stay there for a period of time. However, being a constable was pitifully small. Every month, he would owe some money for his wine.


    The old shopkeeper was already very familiar with Hong Yang, he knew that Hong Yang''s heart was kind and compassionate, so he didn''t mind at all. Previously, when he saw that Hong Yang was injured, he had kindly advised him otherwise for a while, but Hong Yang didn''t seem to mind, so he could only give up.


    The injuries on Hong Yang''s body, were caused by his master. That palm attack was extremely ruthless and almost took Hong Yang''s life.


    However, Hong Yang did not hate his Master at all. He understood the situation back then, if his Master had not acted first, he would have already been killed by the law enforcement elders. Moreover, in front of so many high-level figures of the sect, it was impossible for Master to act so lightly. Otherwise, it would be impossible to escape from the eyes of the Law Enforcing Elders.


    But this palm strike, even though it had kept Hong Yang''s life, had made him stop his journey in the martial way.


    Due to his meridians being severely damaged, and not paying attention to the treatment, which resulted in him being unable to recover after many years, Hong Yang had already detected that his own strength was declining gradually. Even if he used all of his strength, in reality, he could only reach the level of Innate sixth rank, and this decline was becoming more and more intense, especially in these recent days.


    Hong Yang had already thought about it long ago. Since he had nothing to tie him down, he might as well do some things while he still had the ability. When he was helpless, he would find a place in the wilderness and spend the rest of his life.


    Walking on the main street, Hong Yang did not circulate his vitality to defend against the cold wind, but rather, let the waves of cold air seep into his bone marrow.


    Just then, a group of night constables walked out from the street corner and quickly arrived beside Hong Yang. The leader was the second level Ningyang City level constable, Fang Qian.


    Fang Qian had always been dissatisfied with Hong Yang, because Hong Yang had only used three years to become a first class constable, but he had been working for five years and was a level lower than Hong Yang. Furthermore, Hongyang was often drunk and worked as a servant. Where did he have the slightest appearance of a constable? In his words, it was a disgrace.


    Fang Qian recognized Hong Yang from afar and did not plan to talk anymore, but since he was right before him, he could not hold it in anymore. As he walked past, he muttered to himself: "He reeked of alcohol, what the hell is this?


    Hearing that, Hong Yang stopped, turned and called out: "Constable Fang, please wait."


    Fang Qian was obedient, he immediately stopped moving, and turned back slowly, with a fake smile: Oh, so it''s Constable Hong, look at how cold the sky is, why haven''t you gone back to rest?


    Although Fang Qian did not fancy Hong Yang, he was secretly afraid of him, because Hong Yang was a warrior of the seventh level of the Origin Convergence Stage. He had seen with his own eyes that with a single strike from Hong Yang, he would be able to defeat a sixth level Origin Convergence Stage cultivator. The Rank 1 Thief had vomited blood, and Hong Yang had obviously been holding back at that moment. Thus, he was well aware of his own capabilities. Ordinarily, it was fine if he was just being quick to speak, but he absolutely could not vent out Hong Yang''s true flames.


    Hong Yang smiled drunkenly as he sized Fang Qian up from head to toe, causing Fang Qian to feel a chill in his heart, but he did not dare move an inch. On such a cold winter night, Fang Qian actually felt a bit of sweat at his temples, and his one hand unconsciously clenched onto the hilt of his blade, while his other hand clenched into a fist.


    Hong Yang saw all of Fang Qian''s actions and thought that it was funny. After all these years of messing around in City Lord''s Mansion, there had been too many people who dared to say that they didn''t dare to do anything despite being jealous of him. Originally, he was too lazy to bother with it. However, for some reason, he was in a bad mood today, so he stopped.


    "Constable Fang, the sky is indeed cold tonight. It''s better to save some energy and speak less. Don''t freeze your tongue. If you meet any strong bandits, you might not even be able to cry out for help."


    After Hong Yang finished speaking, he did not even bother to look at Fang Qian''s face, which had already turned the color of a pig''s liver, as he walked away without even turning his head.


    Once, Fang Qian was once besieged by two thieves, causing him to scream for help in a moment of crisis.


    After the incident, not only did Fang Qian not remember Hong Yang saving his life, he even felt that Hong Yang was plotting something behind his back, which made him angry and resentful.


    In fact, Hong Yang had never even passed on that matter, it was just that Fang Qian was too petty, acting like a gentleman.


    Today, Hong Yang actually revealed a bit of his intentions in front of the crowd, which Fang Qian found hard to accept.


    Pui!


    Looking at Hong Yang''s gradually disappearing figure, Fang Qian fiercely spat out, "Wait! I''ll see how you look then! "


    Crossing streets, was the most bustling street in all of Ningyang City.


    There were many shops on both sides of the street, there was also the most luxurious restaurant in Ningyang City, the Drunken Immortal Tavern, and the brothel, Green Willow Garden, where the most beautiful girls were.


    Just as Hong Yang was walking out of the Drunken Immortal Tavern, a few people walked out crookedly. They shouted and shouted noisily, and from a distance away, the smell of alcohol permeated the air. Among them, there was a well-dressed young master who was surrounded by the crowd like a moon surrounded by stars.


    Hong Yang recognized this young master Hua; he was the only son of the great Ningyang City medicine merchant, Xiao Can Cheng. This kid relied on his family''s wealth and power to do some outrageous things. But the boy was particularly clever, always on the verge of breaking the law, always able to control the development of the situation. This made Hong Yang, who had long wanted to punish him, unable to do anything.


    Xiao Youcheng also recognized Hong Yang, in his eyes, Hong Yang was just a dog on the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Tonight, Xiao You Cheng had obviously drunk too much. With a body reeking of alcohol, he staggered over to Hong Yang''s side, and said with a fake smile: "Yo, so it''s Chief Constable Hong. It''s hard to be on patrol at this late hour, toiling for the people of our city. Why don''t I invite you to find a few girls in the Green Willow Garden to have a good time? "


    Hong Yang only coldly looked at Xiao Youcheng, not commenting on his words.


    Hahahaha!


    Xiao Youcheng laughed maniacally. He turned around and called out to his friends: "Let''s go. Since this constable doesn''t care, then let''s go have some fun."

 C3

    A fatty walked over, burped and said: "Young Master Xiao, you must treat us today. Your Xiao Family is about to become the largest medicine merchant, you ¡­"


    Before he finished speaking, Xiao Youcheng fiercely tugged on the sleeve of the fatty: "If you want to play, then go ahead. What are you wasting your breath on!"


    With that, he glanced at Hong Yang and led the group towards the green willow garden.


    Watching Xiao You Cheng leave, Hong Yang snorted coldly, and continued walking. After just taking a few steps, Hong Yang suddenly stopped.


    "He''s going to become the biggest pharmacist in the Ningyang soon? "What do you mean?"


    Xiao Youcheng''s action of dragging the fatty flashed across Hong Yang''s mind. Clearly, Xiao Youcheng had purposely interrupted the fatty''s words.


    There were two big medicine stores in Ningyang City. One store had Xiao Family, while the other store had Luo Family. The two families were equally matched in strength. If Xiao Family were to become the largest, then what would happen to Luo Family? Could it be that his Luo Family was ready to stop working?


    Hong Yang really didn''t have talent for business, he thought for a long time but still didn''t have a clue. As a constable, he was suspicious of those few words, so he decided that since he had nothing to do, he might as well go and stroll around Luo Family Mansion.


    The Luo Residence was on the north side of the city. As long as they followed the main road, they would reach the Luo Residence.


    With the strength of Hong Yang''s legs, he was able to stand outside the front door of the Luo Residence a moment later. He looked around, and then listened attentively for a moment, and noticed that there was no sound from behind the door.


    Hong Yang suddenly laughed involuntarily, thinking that after being a constable for so many years, he had already developed a habit of being too suspicious. It was already very late, other than those lackadaisical young masters and night watchmen, who wouldn''t sleep? Moreover, Luo Family maintain a large number of guards, and there''s no lack of experts at the seventh step of the Origin Convergence sixth rank or other such experts, what could possibly happen to them?


    Hong Yang shook his head and walked down the stairs. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.


    Thus, Hong Yang returned to the front of the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door knocker.


    Pow! Pow! Pow!


    In the silence of the night, the knocks on the door were loud and clear. However, after a long time, there was no sound coming from the inside of the door.


    Hm?


    Hong Yang frowned, and thought to himself: "Who is on duty tonight at the Luo Family gatekeeper? "Why are you sleeping so soundly?"


    Pow! Pow! Pow!


    He knocked on the door again and waited for a while, but there was no sound.


    Hong Yang''s heart suddenly trembled, he knew that something was amiss, what kind of situation could have happened in the Luo Residence?


    Hong Yang floated backwards, leaving the main entrance of the Luo Residence. He raised his head and looked at the high walls of the Luo Residence, then flew up and lightly tapped his feet on the wall, and his body slipped into the pitch-black Luo Residence like a big bird.


    The place he landed on was a small flower garden near the gatehouse within the Luo Residence. Hong Yang stood where he was and did not act rashly.


    Silence!


    A deathly silence!


    Hong Yang started to feel uneasy. As a constable, he was naturally familiar with some of the information of the wealthy families in the Ningyang City. There were more than a hundred people registered in the City Lord''s Mansion. The feeling he got now was that there was no one here, not a single person.


    Borrowing the moonlight, Hong Yang went to the gatehouse at the side of the door. After a moment of hesitation, he pushed open the door.


    The room was dark, but that was unusual. Those on duty in the gatehouse were not allowed to sleep, and would always light the lamps until dawn.


    Hong Yang took out Fire Break, and waved it in his hand.


    "Chi!"


    With a light sound, a dim light filled the room.


    Just as the fire lit up, Hong Yang saw two people lying on the ground. His heart thumping, Hong Yang immediately walked over and took a look.


    Both of them had lost their breath!


    Dead!


    Hong Yang did not hesitate and quickly left the room. From the waist pouch that he wore with him ¡­


    He pulled out an arrow and threw it into the air.


    "Whiz!" Pow!


    A streak of fiery light soared into the sky and exploded high into the sky, transforming into a gigantic spark that lingered for a long time. It could be seen within a radius of ten miles.


    These were the warning arrows the constables carried with them. As soon as the arrow was fired, all the constables had to send reinforcements immediately.


    Hong Yang would normally not use the warning signs and arrows, but this time, it was extremely decisive, because he could faintly guess that something big must have happened in the Luo Residence.


    Hong Yang had met the two people who died on duty in the room. One was called Chai Bao, the other was Zhang Hu.


    Judging from the room''s setup and the way the two of them died, it was a double-kill!


    If Hong Yang was still level 7 of the Nascent Soul Stage, he would be able to barely kill one if he fought alone. But it was impossible for two people to die at the same time, and there was no room for resistance at all.


    It was normal for a high level warrior to kill low level warriors, but if there was only a difference of one stage, killing two at the same time was impossible. Therefore, the one who did this should be a warrior at the eighth level of Gui Yuan Realm or even the peak of the ninth level of Returning Origin Stage.


    If that was really the case, then Hong Yang was definitely not his match. That was why he had not hesitated to fire the warning arrows.


    Hong Yang found a dying wind lamp from the door and lit it up, then rushed back to the Luo Residence.


    Just on the way, Hong Yang discovered another group of Luo Mansion night guards, however, they were the same as the Chai Leopard Zhang Hu.


    This made Hong Yang''s scalp tingle. Heavens! What level was this assassin at?! Seven to eight warriors with Origin and fourth rank could still kill simultaneously!


    Hong Yang sped up his footsteps and arrived outside the courtyard of the Luo Residence.


    The small courtyard of the Luo Residence was also a different place. There were many gardens, tranquil lakes, bridges, and pavilions. It was clear that it was a luxurious place. However, the corpses caused a great commotion.


    These dead people were all experts in charge of guarding the inner chamber. Aside from one of them, called Tang Biao, who was the only expert at the seventh level of the Origin Convergence Stage in the Luo Mansion, the other dead people were all at the Nascent Soul Stage. However, he was still killed instantly.


    Hong Yang did not dare to think further. This instant kill probably even the experts of the peak ninth stage of Returning Origin Stage would not be able to do it! Could it be an expert from the Earth Origin Stage?


    It''s a little impossible, right? The experts of Earth Origin Stage are all the upper echelons of a few big powers, and people are all trying to curry favor with them, so they can just open their mouths and say whatever they want. What were they planning to do by killing a drug dealer?


    Very quickly, Hong Yang went through all the rooms in the Inner Palace, and the result was as he expected.


    All dead!


    At this time, all of the constables in the City Lord''s Mansion had already rushed over to the Luo Mansion.


    Countless lanterns and torches were lit inside the Luo Mansion, breaking the tranquility.


    Fang Qian, Geng Zhong, Gong Liang, Han Qing and Hong Yang. The Five Great Constable of Ningyang City stood silently in front of the corpses.


    "What should we do?"


    After a long time, Geng Zhong broke the silence.


    Fang Qian rubbed his chin and said: "Reporting to City Lord, I request that the city guards seal the city gate with their Black Armoured Army, and assist in the capture of the main culprit."


    Han Qing gave a cold humph, "Blocking my ass. Who can capture such an expert? He''s probably already gone far away."

 C4

    Just as he was about to flare up, he suddenly heard Hong Yang say, "Check the number of people first to see if everyone in the Luo Family is dead."


    "Humph!"


    Fang Qian swung his sleeves, he did not know whether it was towards Han Qing or Hong Yang, but he shouted to his subordinates: "Listen carefully, all the corpses are marked, and then counted. Don''t touch anything, stay put. Little Rock, go back to the City Lord''s Mansion and report this matter to the city master. Then, bring the register back.


    After around an hour, another group of people entered the Luo Residence. The one in the lead was the Ningyang City Master Gu Changdong, and behind him was a hundred man team of city guards.


    Standing in front of these cold corpses, Gu Changdong''s expression was extremely ugly.


    The Youzhou Continent was very big, but the Ningyang City was very small. There were three prefectures, nine countries, and one hundred and eight cities in the entire Youzhou. Amongst them, Ningyang City was not even enough to reach the third rate.


    In this world, only martial arts was revered and martial arts was revered. From top to bottom, every key point was controlled by a region''s tyrannical forces. These forces also spread out in all directions.


    The reason Gu Changdong was able to become the Master of the Ningyang City was also because of the sect backing him, and the fact that his Ningyang was one of the best was also because of this reason. Moreover, the background of the Luo Family was not one that Gu Changdong could afford to offend.


    In this world of martial arts, cultivation techniques, pills, and weapons were known as the three Superclass. It was an essential resource for a martial artist to cultivate, especially when pills were involved.


    This was because powerful pills could not only make cultivation simple and efficient, they could even change fate. A martial artist with mediocre talent could have peerless Innate Ability and could advance by leaps and bounds in the path of martial arts and become a great martial artist of their generation.


    In other words, pills were used to create a basic platform, and cultivation techniques and weapons could only be used as a foundation. No matter how powerful a cultivation technique or how overbearing a weapon was, without a good foundation, it would be useless.


    Thus, one could imagine just how powerful a clan that could refine pills was. They were the uncrowned kings. Fortunately, refining pills was extremely demanding on one''s innate talent. This kind of person was extremely rare. Even if they were the heirs of aristocratic families, they were still considered one in a million. Otherwise, they would be the ones dominating the world.


    The power behind Ningyang was precisely such a power. They were a branch of the Nether Continent''s Pine Wind County Pill Master s.


    It was evident from the fact that Princess Pine Wind County was the host of the twelve cities and had great power, that she was offering the Pill Master, which was no more than a hundred acres, as a guest.


    As for the Star Moon Sect Sect Master, if he wanted to meet Princess Pine Wind County once, he estimated that it would take one to two months for the queue to line up.


    Medicinal families usually didn''t have many people and weren''t interested in power. Thus, they would often leave branches in charge of purchasing raw materials and selling finished products.


    Ningyang and Ling Family belonged to two families, respectively, which were both arranged to be branch families that would purchase and sell here.


    With such a huge incident happening in the Ningyang, as the Ningyang City Master, Gu Changdong had long since been drenched in cold sweat, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his heart.


    Pills families usually did not have a strong force of force, but those martial forces that they were on good terms with were not simple. Forget about Returning Origin Stage Warriors, even Earth Origin Stage experts, or even Sky Origin Stage Grandmasters would be able to make a move for this, not to mention the fact that there was the Lord Princess of Pine Wind County above them.


    and his Star Moon Sect could not bear the wrath of either of them.


    At this time, Gu Changdong clenched his teeth tightly, cursing in his heart. Which bastard would be so bold to dare to touch Pill Master''s Luo Family?


    "Investigate!" Find out! A time limit of three days, we must find some clues, otherwise, all of you will die with us! "


    Gu Changdong was panicking, he pointed at Hong Yang and the others and roared!


    Ningyang City, City Lord''s Mansion.


    At this moment, the sky was already bright.


    The meeting hall with its spacious City Lord''s Mansion was filled with people, but it was completely silent.


    City Lord Gu Changdong''s face was gloomy, he sat behind the middle desk, he had already calmed down a lot. There was a cup of tea on the table, but it had long since lost its temperature. Just like the atmosphere in the hall, it was exceptionally chilly and depressing.


    Hong Yang, Fang Qian and the other constables sat on one side of the great hall while the other side was the leader of the city guards, along with his subordinates.


    Although everyone was expressionless, their eyes were twinkling. It was obvious that they were all making their own plans.


    After a long while, Gu Changdong slowly spoke with a low and hoarse voice, "According to the investigation conducted at the scene, a total of two hundred and thirty-one people died in the Luo Palace. Luo Hua and his wife, the eldest son, Luo Song, and the second son, Luo Bai were among them. If she were still alive, it would be a blessing in disguise. You all understand the stakes involved in this matter. I will immediately write a letter and report the situation to the princess. I hope that before the princess makes her decision, everyone here can do two things well. First, find Luo Qingyao, see her if she is alive, and see her corpse if she is dead. "2. Collect all the clues, the more detailed the better."


    With that, Gu Changdong took a sip from his bowl, and the cold tea entered his throat as he unknowingly frowned.


    Boom! *


    Gu Changdong coughed a few times and continued: "Hong Yang, Fang Qian, Han Qing, Gong Liang, Geng Zhong, the five of you go all out to find Luo Qingyao. If you can''t find Luo Qingyao, don''t come back. Song Du will lead you to command your Black Armoured Army to search every household in the city, and at the same time, send orders for every county, village, town, and town under Ningyang City to search for clues. If you meet any suspicious person, you must capture them immediately and interrogate them strictly. Everyone else shall carry on their duties without fail. Go! "


    "Yes sir!"


    Everyone in the hall responded in unison and rushed out of the hall as if they had met an amnesty.


    Only Hong Yang walked slowly, his footsteps hesitating.


    Gu Changdong sensed that something was amiss with Hong Yang, he called out, "Constable Hong, what is it?


    At this time, only Gu Changdong and Hong Yang were left in the hall. Hong Yang stopped in his tracks, muttered to himself for a moment, then turned around and said: "Reporting to my lord, this subordinate had once met the great Young Master Xiao You Cheng, near the Green Willow Garden last night. At that time, he had just finished drinking with a group of friends, and one of them had unintentionally said, Young Master Xiao, your Xiao Family is about to become the largest medicine dealer in Ningyang. This subordinate thinks that those words have something to do with the Luo Residence''s tragedy. "


    Gu Changdong frowned, he stared at Hong Yang and played with the porcelain teacup in his hand.


    After a while, Gu Changdong nodded his head and said: "Mn, I understand, you can go now."


    Hong Yang was a little disappointed with Gu Changdong''s answer. There was a reason why he was able to explain the situation.


    It was because Hong Yang had long suspected Xiao You Cheng, but because Xiao Family was also a family of pellets, he did not dare act rashly. That was why he told Gu Changdong about this matter, wanting Gu Changdong to send a letter to him so that he could lead people to ask Xiao You Cheng about it. However, Gu Changdong was obviously also worried about the background of the Xiao Family.

 C5

    Medicinal families were different from martial families, they could jump out of their territories and open up their own branches and leaves at will. Moreover, no one would reject them, on the contrary, they would be treated as important guests by the local powers, receiving preferential treatment, and this was the way Xiao Family.


    Now that the Luo Family was almost severed from the Ningyang branch, if Xiao Family was implicated again, if these two great medicinal pellet families were to sin at the same time, it was likely that even Princess Pine Wind County would not be able to endure.


    How could Hong Yang not understand this logic? As a constable, he had clues but was unable to investigate, which made him feel helpless. He could only sigh in his heart and silently leave.


    Actually, there was something else in Hong Yang''s mind that made him suspicious, but he resisted the urge to ask.


    Capturing thieves was the responsibility of the constable, so why did Gu Changdong allow them to find the whereabouts of Luo Qingyao instead of letting them gather information? Could it be that a constable who had been a constable for many years could not compare to the constable that was born in the Black Armoured Army?


    Hong Yang''s thoughts were in a mess as he left the City Lord''s Mansion. Outside the manor, Fang Qian and the others had long been ready to go.


    The moment Fang Qian saw Hong Yang slowly approaching, the resentment in his heart soared. "Hong Yang, the City Lord has set a time limit of three days, yet you are wasting your time here. If you miss your job, you can be punished, but you better not implicate the rest of the brothers. "


    Hong Yang scoffed at Fang Qian''s reprimand, and didn''t even bother to give him another glance. He walked to the front of the crowd and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He paced back and forth as if he was talking to himself: "Luo Qingyao, eighteen years old. However, there were a few assassins who did not know, but one thing was certain, if they wanted to kill Luo Qingyao, it would be as easy as flipping their hand. Now that Luo Qingyao is dead, I can''t see him, I can''t see her corpse ¡­ "


    "Enough!"


    Fang Qian interrupted Hong Yang: "We all know what you are saying, there''s no need for you to repeat yourself, time is limited, why aren''t you looking for me?"


    "Shut up!"


    Hong Yang turned and roared, he stared straight at Fang Qian, his gaze was extremely terrifying: "If you don''t want to hear it, then scram."


    Fang Qian''s lips trembled, he opened his mouth but no words came out, his face was once again the color of a pig''s liver.


    Han Qing laughed, tilted his head and teased the sky, "I remember once when I went out of the city to hunt with the City Lord, I didn''t find any prey for a long time. Luckily, I heard a wild chicken crowing in the grass, otherwise I would have left empty-handed."


    "Han Qing!" "You ¡­"


    Fang Qian was infuriated, he slapped his palm and the handle of his blade was pushed into the palm of his hand.


    "Alright, alright, let''s not argue anymore. We don''t have any leads right now, and Constable Hong has always been meticulous in his thoughts. Let''s hear what he has to say."


    Geng Zhong furrowed his brows, persuading him from the side.


    Hong Yang coldly glanced at Fang Qian and continued: "According to the results of the autopsy, the time of death of the victim is less than four hours. With this kind of calculation, the murder case happened right before the end of time. At that time, there were very few people entering and exiting the Ningyang. If Luo Qingyao were to leave the Ningyang alone, she would definitely be seen by the city guards. From what I have heard, the four city guards have never seen Luo Qingyao before. Which is to say that Luo Qingyao has not left the city on her own, and has not seen Luo Qingyao leaving her Ningyang City either. "


    "Yes."


    Han Qing and the rest nodded in thought.


    Hong Yang continued to speak: "Let''s assume the whereabouts of Luo Qingyao. One, she was kidnapped by an assassin. With the strength of an assassin, it was easy to take Luo Qingyao away without anyone noticing. If that''s the case, there''s nothing we can do about it. However, judging from the way the killer did things, he didn''t seem to have that reason. Second, Luo Qingyao did not leave the Luo Palace. Instead, she hid somewhere within the Luo Palace. She had escaped this calamity. But if everyone was killed in an instant, how could she live a single life? This was very puzzling. Destroyed by the body. I don''t think that''s possible. If she destroyed the corpse and erased the evidence, why would Luo Qingyao be the only one to do so? "Therefore, I think the second possibility is the most likely. Of course, it''s only a possibility. Which one of you would be willing to search the Luo Residence with me again?"


    "I''ll go."


    "Me!"


    "I''ll go too."


    Han Qing, Geng Zhong and Gong Liang all responded, while only Fang Qian lowered his head in silence.


    Hong Yang smiled and nodded: "There is no need for so many people. I am only assuming that Luo Qingyao has escaped from the Luo Residence. Constable Gong, you can use the Luo Residence as the center to look around for clues. "


    No one had any objections and immediately led their men to separate themselves into two.


    The Luo Residence was huge, with pavilions and pavilions everywhere. There were gardens and bridges everywhere, and there were more than a hundred different kinds of houses.


    Hong Yang led his men to search Luo Qingyao''s room, but to no avail. However, judging from the situation at the scene, it seemed that Luo Qingyao was not in her room that night. Because from the ashes in the furnace, it could be judged to be ordinary charcoal. According to her experience, this kind of charcoal would only be used in girls'' houses in order to increase the room temperature quickly. Before the young miss returned to her room, she would change it to a special type of charcoal, which meant that Luo Qingyao had not come back yet and was in another room.


    Following that, Hong Yang and the rest searched through the residences, study, treasury, tea room, and living room, but they still could not find anything.


    The three constable met in front of a pond in the Luo Mansion. Due to the cold weather, the pond had long been frozen and there was still a layer of snow on the surface of the ice. Han Qing sucked in a mouthful of teeth as he said, "Fuck, we just need to demolish the house. Where did Miss Luo Family hide?"


    Geng Zhong muttered to himself irresolutely, "Maybe he really was kidnapped by an assassin."


    Han Qing was disdainful, "With a cultivation as tall as an assassin, there''s no need to cause such a commotion if you want to steal Luo Qingyao away, right?"


    "Then ¡­" Geng Zhong turned his gaze towards Hong Yang.


    Hong Yang didn''t have any good ideas now, because they had to be searched meticulously. Under the bed, in the cabinet, on the beams, on the floor, and even by himself, so as to not miss the secret room.


    Just as the three were deep in thought, a subordinate suddenly ran over and gasped for breath, "Three esteemed heads, the city lord has ordered us to leave the Luo Mansion immediately. The Black Armoured Army will take over this place and the Luo Mansion will be sealed.


    Han Qing glared at him. "What does City Lord mean?! He anxiously told us to find Luo Qingyao and not to go there, the Black Armoured Army is used for f * * king war, for this kind of fine work like peeling cocoons and fishing for needles, can they even do it?! "


    Geng Zhong couldn''t help but poke Han Qing''s waist and say, "Forget it, the Mayor has his reasons for making this decision." Moreover, Black Armoured Army is just a place to be looked after, we, the pawns, just need to follow orders. "


    Han Qing shook his head, "I''m not talking about this place. Searching for the killer''s clues should have been left to us men. I see that the Mayor is a bit distracted today."


    Hong Yang looked up at Han Qing, expressing his agreement with her.


    Geng Zhong waved his hands and said, "Ok, got it. You may leave now."


    After his subordinate left, Geng Zhong lowered his voice and said, "Constable Han, this is actually good for us too. If something happens, we can just push it to Black Armoured Army. Besides, that cultivation is unfathomable. Even if we find some clues, what can we do? I might even lose my life. "


    Hearing this, Han Qing swallowed his saliva and didn''t say anything.

 C6

    However, Hong Yang shook his head and said, "Constable Geng, your Black Armoured Army directly belongs to the princess. It might not be a wise decision to push the blame to your Black Armoured Army. And the killer''s leads are already there. "


    Han Qing and Geng Zhong looked at Hong Yang at the same time, their eyes filled with doubt.


    Hong Yang looked at the frozen lake''s surface, pondered for a moment and said, "Didn''t you all read the autopsy report? The dead warriors were all killed in one hit and had no external injuries, but their meridians were all caused by ice attribute Qi Methods. One hit could freeze the meridians of a Level 7 Origin Level Warrior and kill them. This man has at least a high Earth Origin Stage, so he definitely can be considered one of the strongest. "


    Han Qing said, "We all know that, but what does that mean?"


    Hong Yang said: "Although Earth Origin Stage experts have tyrannical power, their numbers are few and far between, and they are experts in ice type techniques. Just ask, how many of these people are near the Ningyang? "


    Han Qing shook his head, "How did you determine that the killer was near Ningyang?"


    Hong Yang smiled: "I didn''t say that the killer is near Ningyang? What I mean is, if I invite a strong practitioner who specializes in ice attribute cultivation methods over to examine the corpse, he might be able to discover something. There will always be some understanding between experts at this level. "


    Han Qing slapped his forehead, and said suddenly: "That''s right! This is really a way. "


    Geng Zhong asked, "Constable Hong, do you know where there is such an expert around Ningyang?"


    Hearing that, Hong Yang''s heart suddenly sank, a trace of undetectable sadness flowing through his eyes.


    His master was Ma Chengfeng, the master of Taiyi Sect, and he was an expert in Earth Origin Stage. As Hong Yang''s physique back then was not suitable for it, he had only cultivated thunder-attribute techniques.


    Hong Yang sighed softly and said, "Let''s go. We''ll discuss this after we leave the Luo Palace."


    When Hong Yang and the rest left the Luo Residence, they coincidentally met Gong Liang and Fang Qian.


    Han Qing asked, "Constable Gong, have you obtained anything?"


    Gong Liang shook his head and said, "After checking no more than two streets, we received a message from the Mayor, telling us to return to the branch to await the new order. What about you? What did you find? "


    Han Qing suppressed the anger in her heart, and snorted loudly, "We''re the same as you guys, taking over the Luo Residence with Black Armoured Army, we have nothing else to do."


    Fang Qian sneered: "Analyzing who doesn''t know how, assuming who doesn''t, it will be a waste of time if we can''t find him."


    Hong Yang knew that Fang Qian had said that to him, but he was not in the mood to bother with Fang Qian right now.


    "The Mayor can''t do anything to Xiao Youcheng, but that fatty who drank with him last night should know something."


    After making up his mind, Hong Yang said to Han Qing and the others, "You guys will go take a rest first. I have some matters to attend to."


    With that, Hong Yang turned and left, heading straight for the Drunken Immortal Tavern.


    Very quickly, Hong Yang found out the whereabouts of the fatty from the servants of the Drunken Immortal restaurant. He had settled in the Ningyang City not long ago and the son of the owner of the Yu Ji Tea House was everywhere in the sky.


    Hong Yang thought: "I was wondering why this fatty looked so unfamiliar. Turns out he''s a foreigner."


    Yu Ji Tea House had just opened, and the shop was not very big, so Hong Yang did not have much of an impression of it.


    But when Hong Yang found Yu Ji Tea House, the scene before him made his heart tensed up.


    The entire Yu Ji teahouse was filled with cries. There were many people standing outside the door, whispering and pointing.


    Hong Yang squeezed through the crowd and pulled out a spectator closest to the door.


    Just as the person was about to flare up, he saw a shiny bronze plate in Hong Yang''s hands, with the word "catch" carved on it.


    "What''s going on inside? "Tell me in detail."


    "Yes ¡­" Yes... "Master Constable ¡­"


    "What are you trembling about? "Speak!"


    "Yes ¡­" Yu Mantian died. "


    "How did he die?"


    "I heard that he drank too much last night and died suddenly."


    Hong Yang felt a chill down his spine! He immediately thought back to last night with a few people who had accompanied Xiao Youcheng to drink. This matter was probably even more complicated and confusing.


    Hong Yang did not stop there, and after a round of investigation, as expected, the few people who drank with Xiao Youcheng last night either died suddenly at home, fell into the water, or hanged themselves. Only the Xiao Family did not reveal any grievous news.


    "Xiao Family!"


    Hong Yang had already locked onto his target! It was not hard to imagine that there must have been a conflict between these two alchemy families. Although the Xiao Family hired people to exterminate the clan without leaving a trace, Xiao You Cheng spoke without thinking and was anxious to silence them.


    This was an extremely important matter, so he had to immediately report it to the mayor. Hong Yang did not rest for a moment and hurried back to City Lord''s Mansion.


    The moment Hong Yang took a step into the City Lord''s Mansion, a huge golden net suddenly fell from the sky, covering him tightly. At the same time, a few Black Armoured Army Warriors appeared from the two sides and pulled on their ropes.


    Normally, with Hong Yang''s strength, he would be able to easily avoid the web, but right now, he was completely distracted and never dreamed of someone ambushing him within the City Lord''s Mansion. Thus, without any resistance, he was forced to surrender.


    "Why is that!?"


    Hong Yang was startled and angry after being captured, and stared at the Black Armoured Army warriors on both sides, unable to contain his anger.


    "Why? All for the sake of capturing you! "


    A sharp and venomous voice suddenly rang out, and a group of people rushed into the hall.


    The one in the lead was Fang Qian, followed by Geng Zhong, Han Qing, Gong Liang and the Black Armoured Army division leader who surrounded Hong Yang.


    At this time, Gu Changdong''s voice sounded from the back of the crowd, "Hong Yang, do you know your sin!?"


    Following that, the crowd parted and Gu Changdong appeared in front of Hong Yang.


    "Hong Yang is innocent!"


    Hong Yang struggled hard for a few moments. Unexpectedly, the net was tighter and tighter, and the sharp string had already cut through his clothes, tightly binding his skin. Traces of blood slowly seeped out.


    "You still dare to quibble!"


    Fang Qian threw a kick towards Hong Yang''s body, only to hear a dull thud, as he retreated a few steps before stabilizing himself.


    Hong Yang did not even look at Fang Qian. Instead, he stared straight at Gu Changdong, as if flames were about to spew out of his eyes. "City Lord, I wonder what kind of crime Hong Yang has committed?"


    "Alright, since you don''t know, then I''ll tell you."


    At this moment, a servant brought in a round chair. Gu Changdong sat down and brushed his sleeves, then let out a light cough, and said slowly: "Hong Yang, three years ago, you were severely injured, and your Ningyang s flowed, I considered your abilities, made an exception to accept you and even promoted you to be a first class constable, and also made an exception for you to drink too much, but I didn''t expect you to not repay me for my kindness. As a person of law enforcement, I have already found out, that Luo Family''s over two hundred deaths have something to do with you. When the princess makes her decision, I will stand up for you. Do you understand? "


    Hong Yang was trapped in the net, unable to move, he laid there and bellowed: "Is there any evidence?!"

 C7

    Gu Changdong sneered: "If you don''t see the coffin, you won''t cry. Fang Qian, you tell me."


    "Yes!" "My Lord!"


    Fang Qian cupped his fist in salute towards Gu Changdong, and took a few steps forward: "Last night, I was on duty patrolling the city, and had once seen Hong Yang walking on the streets at Hai Yi. He was sneaky, and looked suspicious. This can be testified to by my patrolling brothers. After that, around fifteen minutes after midnight, I toured the city to the vicinity of the Luo Residence. When I found someone wandering outside the door of the Luo Residence, I immediately sneaked in and noticed that the person was Hong Yang. After a while, Hong Yang seemed to have received some sort of signal and leaped into the Luo Residence. I was initially prepared to ambush outside the Luo Residence and plunder Hong Yang, but this gave him time to make a move. This humble servant has been negligent, please punish me, City Lord! "


    Fang Qian spoke calmly without changing his expression, only showing a pleased expression at the corner of his eyes.


    "Nonsense!"


    Hong Yang was nearly angered to death: "Fang Qian, let me ask you, where are you going to meet me?"


    Fang Qian replied: "East Street."


    Hong Yang asked again, "Where is the Luo Residence?!"


    "North of the city."


    Hong Yang laughed coldly: "Since you''ve seen me in the east of early Hai City, and then seen me in the Luo Residence a few moments later, could it be that Constable Fang runs around the entire night? Or maybe I flew from the east side of the city to the north? "If you''re lying, don''t even think about it. Is that dog shit in your head?"


    "You ¡­"


    Fang Qian''s face began to change again.


    Hong Yang continued to ask closely, "Let me ask you this again, outside the Luo Residence''s main gate are walls and streets on both sides. Within a hundred meters, there is no place to hide. If you can see me, can''t I see you? It seems like I was really blind to save an animal! "


    "You ¡­ "You ¡­"


    Fang Qian was dumbstruck by the question. He was angry, but did not know how to refute it.


    "Enough!"


    Just then, Gu Changdong suddenly spoke out.


    "Hong Yang, don''t try to quibble. Just because you appeared at the scene of the Luo Residence''s murder is the reason why you couldn''t escape."


    "Sir, if I am really a criminal, why would I send out a warning signal? "Wouldn''t I have left the scene early to wash it away?"


    "Humph!" The so-called dark under the lights. You''re smart enough to think that that''s the only way you can avoid being treated as a criminal. But unfortunately, the law was vast and didn''t leak out. How could your little tricks escape my notice? "


    Hong Yang did not speak, did not refute any further, and did not want to speak any more about doubting the Xiao Family. He understood now that he was being used as a scapegoat, and nothing he said would help. Facing the incoming pressure from all sides, Gu Changdong decided to abandon the carriage to protect his honor. Why did they throw him? It was because he was a person without any background, so what if he lost it? There wouldn''t be any trouble.


    In order to prevent Hong Yang from escaping, he had used chains forged from fine iron. It was said that he was at the seventh level of the Origin Convergence Stage, and even warriors at the peak of the ninth level of the Origin Convergence would find it difficult to move him.


    In addition, he had also used the Pulse Sealing Golden Needle that was specially designed to deal with the fierce thieves, sealing Hong Yang''s meridians, preventing him from circulating his vitality. He then locked Hong Yang up in his cell and sent Gong Liang and Geng Zhong to watch over him, waiting for his orders.


    And within the study, and Fang Qian were whispering to each other.


    "Fang Qian, you must think of a way for Hong Yang to confess his guilt."


    "That''s not easy to do, let''s write a fake confession, press Hong Yang''s handprint onto it, then pick out Hong Yang''s tendons in his hands and feet, cut his tongue, so that he can''t say or write."


    "That won''t do, the princess has always been strict. Whether she comes or sends people, she will ask them personally. If you see Hong Yang''s appearance, you will inevitably have doubts in your heart."


    "Then we''ll use torture. I don''t believe that he won''t admit it after a few punishments."


    "It''s fine to use torture, but don''t kill him. Otherwise, there will be no proof. The princess will not be able to explain it to him." As long as he pleads guilty, then there''s no need to be afraid of his confession.


    "This subordinate understands."


    Fang Qian received the orders and walked over to the window with the hot tea in his hands. After seeing Fang Qian''s figure disappear into the distance, he immediately headed towards the backyard.


    In front of a small hut in the backyard, Gu Changdong looked left and right before pushing open the door and entering.


    Inside the room, a masked man with a black veil was meditating on the bed.


    Gu Changdong lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother, I asked Fang Qian to go torture Hong Yang."


    The masked man''s voice was rough. "Is this your good idea?"


    Gu Changdong laughed dryly: "Senior Brother, as long as Fang Qian uses torture on Hong Yang, you can take this opportunity to kill Hong Yang and Fang Qian. At that time, I will say that Fang Qian overdid the punishment and killed Hong Yang, and Fang Qian, knowing the consequences, committed suicide out of fear. This is going to be a headless case. No one can find out. "


    The masked man was silent for a while, and then he said, "Hmm, alright. I will take action when the time comes. "


    Gu Changdong laughed and asked: "Senior Brother, how are your injuries?"


    "No worries, I''ll be able to force the poison out in two hours."


    "Senior, do you know who injured you?"


    "Hmph, such a vicious hidden weapon must be from Linglong Pavilion. If I know which bitch injured me, I''ll skin her alive!"


    "Senior Brother, did you not find the Sky Dragon Dagger last night?"


    "Nonsense, I was injured by a concealed weapon, how would I have the time to look for the Sky Dragon Dagger?"


    "So you''re saying that the Sky Dragon Dagger is still in the Luo Residence?"


    "Yes, it should be. But the people of the Luo Residence have all died. No one knows where they are hiding."


    "Senior Brother, from what I know, there might be one more survivor from Luo Family."


    "Who?"


    "Luo Qingyao."


    "The only daughter of Luo Family?"


    "Exactly."


    "Quickly find her. News that the Sky Dragon Dagger is in Luo Family has already spread. We are near, so we still have a chance. If the people from other forces or Pine Wind County arrived, it would not be our turn. "


    "Changdong understands."


    In the cell, Hong Yang was beaten up for the entire afternoon, and the skin on his body had already been ripped apart.


    Fang Qian threw away the whip and kicked away the wooden stick that was broken into two. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and took out a red-hot soldering iron from the furnace beside him.


    "Damn, let''s see how long you can last!"


    "Buzz ¡­"


    As the soldering iron pressed down on Hong Yang''s chest, a burnt smell pervaded throughout the cell. Hong Yang''s tongue was stiff, and he was unable to say a word. The piercing pain caused his face to be covered in beads of sweat. He closed his eyes in pain as his body trembled uncontrollably. A low growl came from his throat.


    Clang!


    The door to the cell suddenly opened and a man walked in.


    "Han Qing? What are you doing here? "


    Geng Zhong and Gong Liang who had been watching Fang Qian''s punishment from the corner stood up at the same time.


    Han Qing held a jug of wine in his hand, his face expressionless. "What are you doing?" I''m looking for you to drink! "


    Seeing that Hong Yang had fainted again, Fang Qian placed the soldering iron down, and said snappily: "Han Qing, if you don''t go and listen to the servants, then what kind of wine are you here to drink? Be careful that the City Lord punishes you for neglecting your duty. "

 C8

    Han Qing suddenly laughed and placed the wine jar on the table. He picked up a few tea bowls and splashed the tea water inside away. Then he picked up the wine jar and poured them all into it.


    Constable Fang, if Hong Yang admits his crimes, all of the rewards will be yours. I am unable to reap any benefits, it makes me extremely envious. "Earlier, we were a bit estranged, but I, Han, was in the wrong. If Constable Fang ever gets promoted, don''t forget about us brothers. Take more responsibility."


    So that was how it was. Fang Qian felt slightly proud. The completion of this matter was truly a great achievement. Who knew if he could directly skip over a first class constable and become a judge? It was no wonder that Han Qing would have such a drastic change.


    At this time, Han Qing brought a bowl of wine to Fang Qian, "Come, Constable Fang, let this bowl of wine be considered as your celebration."


    Geng Zhong and Gong Liang also each took a bowl, "Constable Fang, you must treat us brothers to wine after you get promoted."


    Fang Qian laughed and accepted the alcohol: "No problem, if I were to be promoted, I would definitely not treat all of you unfairly."


    Han Qing looked at Geng Zhong and Gong Liang, "Let''s do it together!"


    "F * ck!"


    Boom! * Boom! *


    Suddenly, there were two muffled sounds, and two people lay on the ground without a sound.


    The ones who fell were Fang Qian and Gong Liang, while the one who stood there was Han Qing and Geng Zhong.


    "Quick, open the chains, I''ll wake Constable Hong up."


    Han Qing waved and threw a bucket of water at Hong Yang.


    Geng Zhongze swiftly took out the key and removed the iron chain from Hong Yang''s body.


    Hong Yang woke up from his slumber, only to see Geng Zhong taking out the Pulse Sealing Golden Needle from his head.


    "Constable Han, you ¡­"


    Han Qing waved his hands, "Constable Hong, don''t say anymore. Old Geng and I both know that you are wrongly accused. That is all we can do. You should hurry up and leave. "


    Hong Yang staggered a step, all the wounds on his body were scorching pain: If I leave, what will you do?


    "Constable Hong, Old Geng and I have been saved by you. Although we have always been a bit unwilling to accept you, we still have to repay you if we have the chance." Gu Changdong''s actions have made us feel cold. Today, you are being wronged, and tomorrow, it might even be me and Old Geng. Therefore, after you leave, the two of us will also leave. We''ll meet again when we meet again in the future. "


    Hong Yang cupped his fists as he said: "Thank you, big brothers, for saving me. In the future, if there is a chance, Hong Yang will definitely repay today''s kindness."


    "Let''s leave quickly. We can''t stay for long."


    Hong Yang nodded and activated his Qi. He clenched his teeth and jumped out of the prison. It was already night time, he then disappeared into the darkness.


    Hong Yang first went to a nearby household and stole a set of clothes, covering the wound and blood stains on his clothes. He then conveniently took a bamboo hat and put it on his head, hiding and dodging while heading to the city gate.


    From afar, he could see the city gate as one arrow after another sounded out in the air from the direction of City Lord''s Mansion, and at the same time, a loud bell sound came out! This was the highest level of alert!


    The gatekeeping Black Armoured Army, well-trained, had only just sounded when a thousand jin iron gate had already fallen from the city gate entrance''s entrance!


    Jiyaaa! Jiyaaa! Clang!


    The iron gate fell to the ground, at the same time sealing the city gates, it also sealed Hong Yang''s way out!


    "Crap!" It was discovered so quickly! "


    Hong Yang thought that something was amiss. He knew that he was going to have a large-scale search and capture of the entire city!


    Hong Yang was not afraid of death, but he was not willing to die such an unfair death.


    Ningyang City could not be used to enter or leave, and dangers lurked everywhere. Hong Yang hid in a corner and thought for a while before making his decision.


    Currently, there was only one safe place in the Ningyang City, the Luo Residence!


    This was the so called darkness under the lamp.


    Hong Yang had been beaten up so badly by Fang Qian that even if he injured himself, as long as he could circulate his vitality, it would still be easy for him to avoid the Black Armoured Army that was guarding the Luo Residence.


    Seeing that the sky had completely darkened, Hong Yang carefully passed through the alley along the way, and arrived near the Luo Residence''s back door. There were many trees there, which were dark and quiet.


    Hong Yang hid in a corner, waiting for a group of patrolling Black Armoured Army s to pass by. This was the third time he had entered the Luo Residence since the tragedy had occurred.


    All the dead had already been carried away. Under the night sky, the vast Luo Manor seemed especially quiet and eerie. From time to time, a biting cold wind blew by, and the air current that swept past some corridors and pavilions would emit a low wail.


    While strolling in the dark within the Luo Palace, Hong Yang, who was originally aimless, suddenly arrived at the family head''s study in the Luo Palace.


    The dim moonlight shone in from outside the window, and one could vaguely see white ashes on the ground, outlining where Luo Hua''s body was at the time of the death.


    Hong Yang lightly sat on a chair by the window and let out a long breath. From last night to tonight, there had actually been so many unforeseen events, and it truly had caught him by surprise. For a moment, his mind was filled with countless thoughts.


    For some reason, the image of his master Ma Chengfeng surfaced in Hong Yang''s mind.


    "Hong Yang, from today onwards, you are my Blue Lotus Institution disciple, and also my, Ma Chengfeng''s, personal disciple ¡­"


    "Hong Yang, becoming strong is the goal of every martial arts practitioner. "When you give up a lot and become stronger, you will know that you will have to pay even more to withstand your strength. When you can''t bear it, it will also mean that your journey in martial arts will come to an end ¡­"


    "We martial dao practitioners have actually spent our entire lives fighting against each other, following nature or defying the will of the heavens. This is very contradictory, but we have no choice but to ¡­"


    "Right now, the martial artists only care about pursuing power with all their might. They only want to control the situation in the world and they have forgotten the true meaning of Martial Arts. What was a martial artist? Forbidding war was martial! Martial arts were created to suppress slaughter. They were created to save the lives of the common people, and they were created to stop killing with force. "It''s not about killing ¡­"


    Martial arts could control life and death. "From ancient times until now, the number of people who have died because of martial arts are like stars. Those who have died because of martial arts can be counted on one''s fingers ¡­"


    Unconsciously, a wave of tiredness came over, Hong Yang leaned his head against the window and fell into a deep sleep, but at the moment, his Ningyang City was in a mess.


    Not long after he slept, Hong Yang felt a cold energy flow through his nose, causing him to shiver and then suddenly wake up.


    Rubbing his cheeks with all his might, Hong Yang turned his head to look at the window, wanting to see if the window had been closed.


    However, the windows were tightly shut, which made Hong Yang suspicious. Where did the wind come from?


    Hong Yang stared at the window, sizing it up for a moment, then suddenly he made a discovery.


    There was a tiny hole in the window paper. If he didn''t change his angle to look carefully, it would be hard to notice.


    Hong Yang extended a finger and gently touched the hole, which felt somewhat rough.


    "This hole ¡­"


    Hong Yang frowned, he was deep in his thoughts.


    Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He stood up and faced the window, taking a few steps back. Then, he turned around and looked at the wooden screen placed against the wall.


    Hong Yang hesitated for a while, then went over to the desk and randomly flipped through the books, finding a fire sickle and a piece of fire stone. He then picked up the oil lamp on the desk and returned to the front of the screen.

 C9

    After listening intently for a while, Hong Yang clenched his teeth and ignited the oil lamp. He raised it high up and used the light from the lamp to examine it carefully.


    Very quickly, Hong Yang discovered an extremely unremarkable point of light on the screen. And the bright spot was right in front of the window he had been leaning against.


    Hong Yang activated his Qi and extended three of his fingers. Under the infusion of his Qi, his fingers became as hard as hooks.


    Ka-cha! *


    A piece of wood was forcibly dug out from the screen.


    Boom! *


    Hong Yang exerted a little more force and the wooden block broke into pieces. He opened his palm and gently blew away the wooden piece, and surprisingly, a black and blue silver needle appeared in the middle of his palm.


    With just a glance, Hong Yang could tell that this silver needle was poisonous, and this silver needle had even hit a certain someone before.


    "At that time, only the only person in the study was the Luo Palace family head s corpse. And after an autopsy, Luo Hua''s entire body was uninjured, and there were no traces of blood at all. This poisonous needle is definitely not aimed at Luo Hua. "


    "There''s only one possibility. The killer was in the study room, and there was another person outside. The killer killed Luo Hua, so the person outside wanted to be the oriole. "


    After blowing out the oil lamp, Hong Yang turned around and walked out of the study, standing at the doorway and looking towards the window.


    The garden was desolate from the cold. The dead branches and leaves were pressed down by the white snow. As the wind blew past, a thin layer of snowy fog rose into the air.


    Hong Yang walked around the garden, but did not find anything, because there were a lot of people who came last night.


    Hong Yang laughed silently, and thought: "The killer cultivation is very powerful, and the owner of the concealed weapon is not far from him. Otherwise, it wouldn''t have hit the killer. How could there be footprints or something like that? "


    "That''s not right, this person who uses concealed weapons, might not have a high level of cultivation, and took advantage of when the assassin was distracted to sneak in a sneak attack and win. However, the assassin did not die immediately. The hidden weapon owner knew that he was no match for the assassin, so he had to run away. After that, the assassin also left due to his heavy injuries. "


    "If that''s the case, then I''m completely wrong."


    "If the killers were hired by Xiao Family, then who was the owner of the concealed weapon? If he is on good terms with Luo Family, why would he wait until the death of the Luo Residence before making a move? "


    "Could it be that, whether it is the assassin or the owner of the hidden weapon, they have nothing to do with the Xiao family?"


    Hong Yang''s original line of thought had been completely turned upside down by this new discovery.


    Returning back to the study room, Hong Yang studied the white ash on the floor as he thought back to what he saw last night when he entered the study room.


    "From the looks of Luo Hua''s death, and the angle of his corpse, he should have been kneeling at that time."


    Hong Yang extended his hand out and pressed down in the air, pretending to be pressing down on Luo Hua with his palm.


    "If that''s the case, the assassin should be threatening Luo Hua. Why would a high ranking Earth Origin Stage expert threaten a powerless Luo Hua? There must be some other reason! "


    As for his goal, Hong Yang could not think of it.


    "Sigh, I''m a clay buddha now, and it''s hard for me to protect myself. Why would I need to think about such things? There''s nothing in this world that can disturb me."


    Hong Yang shook his head and laughed, then sat back on the chair and started to plan how to escape.


    At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint sound that seemed to come from the wall of the study room.


    After identifying the source of the sound, Hong Yang immediately dodged to the side and stared at the wall while holding his breath.


    BOOM!


    With a dull thud, the wall slowly moved to the left and right, revealing a pitch-black cave entrance.


    Next, a white shadow floated out like a ghost!


    Hong Yang stared at the white figure and carefully examined it, his heart involuntarily twitched, this was definitely not a ghost, it was the one and only daughter of Luo Family who could not see his corpse and live, Luo Qingyao!


    Of course, Hong Yang recognized him, but everyone in the Ningyang City knew who he was.


    This was because Luo Qingyao was extremely beautiful, with an unfathomable beauty. She was also as pure as ice and as pure as jade, her demeanor was elegant and refined. "Moreover, he was kind and benevolent.


    Luo Qingyao understood the dao of medicine, knew how to use medicine, and often gave medicine for the poor and pitiful of them. This was very different from the temperament of some of the children of noble clans. Their good deeds were widely praised.


    Luo Qingyao was the only disciple in the Ningyang who was able to cultivate and master alchemy. Although her bone root was a bit lacking, with her intelligence and the assistance of pills, she was still able to cultivate to the Returning Origin Stage.


    One had to know that it was not easy for an Alchemy family to produce a dual cultivation in alchemy. It was almost one in a million. The future of this kind of disciples was limitless, they would definitely become a Pill Master of their generation, and they would even have a chance to obtain higher achievements.


    Luo Hua had originally planned to send Luo Qingyao back to the Pine Wind County after a while. That place had an even richer supply and network of contacts, which could allow Luo Qingyao to quickly grow up.


    All of the branches that were sent to various pill families were in fact dissatisfied with the result. They either did not achieve anything in years or did not produce any talented people.


    Luo Hua had always been holding back his anger in his heart, and had always wanted to find a chance to return to his clan. Luo Qingyao was his bargaining chip.


    And now, seeing that Luo Qingyao was still alive, made Hong Yang feel extremely excited. With Luo Qingyao here, she would be able to make the truth come to light and make him feel wronged.


    Unable to restrain himself, Hong Yang came out from behind the screen in a flash, and called out softly, "Luo Qingyao."


    Ah!


    But just as Hong Yang was able to stand steadily, a sharp scream immediately broke the silence.


    Luo Qingyao was terrified, her jade like face lost all color, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably as she retreated.


    "This is bad!"


    Seeing Luo Qingyao being frightened, Hong Yang actually wanted to return to the secret room.


    Not giving it much time to think, Hong Yang rushed forward like an arrow, wanting to pull Luo Qingyao back.


    Just as he was getting close, Hong Yang suddenly saw Luo Qingyao''s right hand raise towards him, and in her hand was actually a pitch black dagger.


    In order to not let Luo Qingyao return to the secret room, the movement when Hong Yang charged forward was quick and fierce, and this thrust of Luo Qingyao''s was fast and ruthless.


    Never in his wildest dreams would Hong Yang have thought that there would be a dark dagger in Luo Qingyao''s hand, and that he would actually make a move against him.


    Puff!


    The dagger pierced through his chest!


    Hong Yang stood in place blankly for a moment, then his body went limp as he directly pounced forward.


    After Luo Qingyao had stabbed Hong Yang, she was stunned like a wooden chicken, but she was caught off guard by Hong Yang''s pounce. The two of them then rolled back into the pitch black secret room.


    Behind the secret room door was a flight of stairs. At the same time Hong Yang and Luo Qingyao tumbled down, the stone doors slowly closed once again.


    If Hong Yang discovered that the stone doors had fallen, he would understand why he couldn''t find the secret room during the day. There were seven stone doors in a row, one close to the other, with no gaps between them. No matter how much people knocked outside, there would not be any hollow echoes.


    The secret room was very spacious, it was brightly lit, all sorts of ingredients were present, it seemed like Luo Hua took quite a bit of effort to create this room.


    Luo Qingyao struggled as she climbed up to the wall of the secret room. She leaned against the wall and trembled as she looked at the man who was lying on the ground with her back facing the sky and no signs of life.


    "Don''t... Don''t... "Don''t..."


    Luo Qingyao curled up against the wall and kept repeating the same word. In the midst of his tears, the scene from that night once again appeared before her eyes ¡­

 C10

    Because her father seemed to be a little upset over the past few days, she accompanied him in the study and chatted with him to relieve her boredom.


    Then his father remembered that someone had sent a box of good tea in the bedroom some time ago, so he went to get it himself.


    But who knew that her father would quickly return to the study in panic. Without waiting for her to ask for an explanation, his father had already taken out a completely black dagger from the secret compartment and stuffed it into her hands, and then, he pushed her into the secret room. At the same time, he told her not to come out on her own, because only Luo Family would be able to open the door from the outside, and they would only appear at that time, and they had to hand the dagger over to Luo Family ¡­


    After Luo Qingyao entered the secret room, she did not go down the stairs, but stood behind the stone door and listened quietly.


    "Kneel!" Say it, where is the Sky Dragon Dagger! "


    "What Sky Dragon Dagger, I don''t know."


    "Are you looking to die?"


    "You dare to touch my Luo Family, I think you''re courting death."


    "Damn it!" Don''t force me! "Don''t think I can''t find it if you don''t tell me."


    "Peanut!" If you want to kill me, kill me. This old man''s wife and children have already been killed by you, so I have no other thoughts. "


    "Good!" I''ll help you! "


    Behind the stone door, Luo Qingyao''s tears fell like rain. She looked for the mechanism to open the door and wanted to rush out, but her foot landed on empty air and tumbled down the secret room.


    Luo Qingyao still couldn''t understand why her father did not enter the secret room with her. She felt that she had not been saved, but abandoned.


    Suddenly, Luo Qingyao discovered a ball of red light that flickered and appeared within the hazy tears.


    At first, she thought it was because of the mixed light and light, but after wiping it, she was surprised to find that the ball of red light was actually emitted by the dagger stabbed into Hong Yang''s chest.


    Luo Qingyao did not know Hong Yang, and might have met him before, but he was a young lady from a noble family, there was no reason for him to remember such a small constable.


    However, he had to retrieve the dagger that Hong Yang had stabbed into his chest, because his father had told him before he died to give it to Pine Wind County.


    This is my father''s will, and it must be done.


    Hong Yang''s chest was drenched in fresh blood. Luo Qingyao resisted the fear in her heart and slowly crawled over.


    When she arrived at Hong Yang''s side, she could not help but be stunned. The originally completely black dagger, not only was it emitting a red light, it was even drilling into Hong Yang''s body bit by bit.


    The dagger was moving! This... How is this possible!?


    Seeing that the dagger was about to pierce into Hong Yang''s chest, Luo Qingyao did not care any further, and reached out to pull it out.


    Just as Luo Qingyao''s fingers touched the dagger, a majestic force suddenly came out from the dagger.


    Boom! *


    With a dull thud, Luo Qingyao was sent flying by the force of the impact. She hit the wall hard and fell unconscious.


    A strange scene finally happened. After the dagger shot Luo Qingyao away, it had completely entered Hong Yang''s body.


    When the dagger entered Hong Yang''s body, it immediately dissolved, transforming into a red liquid, which flowed into his four limbs and bones, seeping into the bone marrow and meridians, perfectly fusing with the blood and bone marrow of Hong Yang''s body. If one were to look at his body now, they would be able to see that the injured meridians in Hong Yang''s body were rapidly recovering, and every single meridian was releasing a faint red light.


    Following that, countless of red stars were born from Hong Yang''s various channels, and at the same time converged towards Hong Yang''s Qi Sea and dantian. Finally, they condensed into a red pearl, and fiercely rushed up towards Hong Yang''s sky spirit sea.


    Boom!


    The red pearl suddenly exploded in Hong Yang''s Heavenly Spirit Sea, and after condensing once again, it had turned into a red dagger.


    The dagger was suspended in the air. A red light flashed as a frightening and ruthless aura was released. Each of these auras contained an endless amount of aura of death.


    This was clearly a lethal weapon!


    Hahahaha!


    A burst of wild laughter came from the dagger!


    "After waiting for 18,000 years, there is finally someone who understands the principle of living after death!"


    "This sovereign can finally see the light of day again!"


    "Smelly bald donkeys of the Brahma World, wash your necks and wait for me!"


    "Damn it, this brat''s body is simply too rotten. I need to repair it first before I can use it." However, since he has awakened this sovereign, let''s make do with it. When there''s a good one in the future, it won''t be too late to trade it. "


    The voice disappeared, and the dagger turned into a red pearl once again, emitting dense red rays of light like a spider web, covering Hong Yang''s entire sea of consciousness.


    Just at this moment, a golden light suddenly blossomed from Hong Yang''s Heavenly Spirit Sea. It also formed a net, and actually held up the red net formed by the red pearl.


    The golden and red light webs separated upon coming into contact. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into two pearls, one golden, the other red.


    "What the hell is this?!"


    A cry of surprise came from the red pearl.


    "Wrong, you''re the ghost, I''m not."


    Although the voice from the golden pearl sounded old, it also carried a trace of mischievousness.


    "Damn, this brat was actually possessed before." Pui! Such f * cking bad luck! "


    The voice from the red pearl was very angry.


    "Wrong, you wanted to possess my body just now, but I am not."


    The golden pearl continued to refute.


    "This senior is asking you, just what are you?"


    "Wrong, you are the thing."


    "Bastard, you are the thing, this sovereign is not a thing."


    "That''s right, you are not a thing."


    "Old fool, you''re courting death!"


    "Come on, you can kill me. Consider yourself capable."


    "You ¡­"


    Red bead. Gold bead suddenly quieted down.


    After a long while, the red pearl spoke again, "Alright, we are both in someone else''s sea of consciousness and that is only soul remembrance. No one can do anything about it. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"


    "Alright, you go first."


    "F * ck!" I say, I say. Have you heard of the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign? "


    "Nope."


    "... Then, have you heard of the Ninety Heavenly Sword Saint?"


    "Nope."


    "Then you ¡­ forget it, I won''t say anymore." You haven''t heard of anything, so why the f * ck should I say anything? "


    "Go on, I haven''t heard anyone tell a story in a long time."


    "You ¡­ .Alright, listen up, this sovereign is Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign, eighteen thousand years ago, he was a character that could summon the wind and rain. With a stomp of his feet, the heaven and earth shook, and more than a million heroes died under this sovereign''s hands. At that time, the only person that could be compared with this noble one was that old fool from the Sword Saint of the Ninth Heaven. In the end, he was beaten up by this noble one until he vomited blood and ran away. At that time, this noble one ¡­ "


    "Stop!" To get to the main point, how did you fall so low that you became a Weapon Soul? "


    "This... That was carelessness, carelessness. "He was plotted against by a few old bald donkeys of the Brahma realm. He can''t just disperse his cultivation and soul."


    "Oh, I understand that."


    "Old thing, what are you saying!"


    "Don''t be in such a hurry, because I was just bragging and became a retard. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have met you here. "


    "Humph!" It''s your turn to say it. "


    "To be honest, I still need to thank you. If not for your soul remembrance awakening me, I would still be sleeping in this brat''s body."


    "Then why did you say it wasn''t possession?"


    "It really isn''t. Actually, I''m in the same situation as you, but there''s a little difference."


    "Oh? What do you mean? "


    "Actually, I am quite amazing too. I won''t waste any more of my breath. I am only a bit more amazing than you."


    "Nonsense!" Should we touch it? "


    "Alright, alright. We''ve already fallen to such a state. What are we bumping into each other in the other''s sea of consciousness again?" You are shameless, but I still want more. "


    "Heavens, hurry up and say it. You''re so long-winded."

 C11

    "Sigh, this old man''s surname was Lu, and I was called Elder Xiaoyao. I was also careless in the beginning and was ambushed by someone, and during that huge battle, even space was torn apart. I helplessly used a forbidden technique, and then ¡­ and fell asleep. "


    "Forbidden arts? What forbidden technique is this? "


    "Nine Souls Refinement Technique!"


    "Nine Souls Refinement? I''ve never heard of it. "


    "Yes, I understand now. I don''t know what you''re talking about, you don''t know what I''m talking about, so there''s only one possibility. My soul was sent here by the Chaos Dimension, and then attached to that kid."


    "You mean ¡­"


    "We are from two different worlds."


    "This sovereign feels a bit confused."


    "Sigh, so be it."


    "Then what do you do if you attach yourself to this kid?"


    "The Nine Souls Refinement is rather special. It can rebirth the soul nine times, and every time, it will recover ten percent of its strength. After the Nine Souls Refinement is completed, it can recover completely."


    "What kind of lousy forbidden technique is this? Are you going to use such a backward cultivation technique?" As long as this noble one can possess this brat, it will only take a hundred years for me to recover to my original state. "


    "You don''t understand right? Possession rebirth and reincarnation rebirth are two completely different concepts. After rebirth from possession, one''s power could be restored very quickly, but your foundation would be completely destroyed, so you wouldn''t be able to go any further. Even though reincarnation is slow, the foundation will be even deeper. As long as we complete the ninth refinement of the soul and break through to the cultivation before reincarnation, then it will be just around the corner. "


    The red pearl which was transformed by the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign suddenly became silent. What Elder Xiaoyao said was the truth. According to the records, the cultivation would indeed stop at that time to possess another''s body. No matter how much one trained, there would never be a breakthrough.


    If the rebirth of your body was for revenge, then you must hope that your enemy could not improve, otherwise you will have no chance at all.


    Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign was silent for a moment before asking: "Lu Qian, can you be considered a reincarnated person now?"


    "Of course ¡­ "Not really." Lu Qian''s tone was depressed.


    "Why?"


    "Sigh, my guess is that because of the Riot Space, the reincarnation must be in the same realm."


    "Then what do you plan to do?"


    "What are we going to do? Just like you, I want revenge. "


    "How about this, leave this kid''s Sea of Consciousness and let me possess his body. After that, I will help you take revenge."


    "Are you trying to fool me? You want to avenge me? You don''t even know where I am. "


    "Then what should we do? Since you won''t be able to reincarnate, you might as well let me possess your body. "


    "No, I came here first. Since I''ve woken up, this child belongs to me. I want to pass on all my abilities to him. In the future, I''ll find another opportunity for him to take revenge for me."


    "Why should it be yours?" Apart from having a little remnant soul, you don''t even have dog fart. Look at me, the moment you came here you healed all of this brat''s injuries. Furthermore, we are from the same world, if you want to learn, you should also learn from me. "


    "Are you not a remnant soul? Healing that brat''s injuries was just a small part of your power when you transmuted your soul. Also, you are a demon, so how could I learn from you? "


    "Fuck, what''s wrong with the demon? Why can''t I learn magic? "


    "I said I can''t learn, but I can''t!"


    "I don''t care if you can or not, I''ll teach him. Since you won''t let me possess your body, and I can''t be reborn, then I might as well train a little demon out. "


    "No, this won''t do. This old man is righteous, how can I allow you to mislead a disciple!"


    "Old thing, you don''t accept this, do you?" Do you dare to form a soul form? It''s bigger than someone''s fist! "


    Soul forming was a very dangerous thing, once there were any injuries, it couldn''t be reversed.


    "Let''s fight!" This old man will beat your shit out of you! "


    "Bring it on, watch me break your dog head!"


    "Black Tiger Crotch!"


    "Shameless!"


    "Fuck, you''re biting me!"


    "My teeth are good, it''s none of your business!"


    "I''ll kill you!"


    The golden and red pearls in Hong Yang''s Heaven''s Spiritual Sense turned into human forms half an inch tall, tearing each other like rascals living on the streets.


    Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao Lu Qian''s soul remembrance were fighting in Hong Yang''s Heavenly Spirit Sea, using all sorts of methods to fight in the streets, completely disregarding their original identity and image.


    After fighting for a while, due to the lack of time, the two old fellows changed back into gold and red pearls.


    Sky Dragon Venerable One had always been a talkative person. Elder Xiaoyao Lu Gan was even more talkative. However, after saying a few words, another argument arose over Hong Yang''s matter.


    Then... Two little people appear...


    Just like that, the two of them fought for a while, talking for a while, going back and forth until they were completely exhausted.


    "Elder Xiaoyao, I feel that there''s no meaning in us fighting like this."


    "Wrong, it has no meaning at all."


    "Then what''s the point of fighting? I don''t want to fight anymore."


    "If you say you don''t want to fight, then don''t? "Who do you think you are?"


    "You''re still trying to get ahead of yourself, aren''t you? "Come, keep fighting."


    "You think we can fight just because you say so?" "Who do you think you are?"


    "Fine, fine, it''s up to you. I''m not going to fight anyway."


    The two pearls floated quietly in the air. After a while, Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign suddenly sighed: "Sigh, to think that my mighty name has fallen into such a terrible state today, I am truly regretful for the past."


    "You''re regretting it. Serves you right. Who told you to be a demon?"


    "I say, Old Man Lu, what happened to the demon? Did the devil deserve to die? There were so many hypocrites in the world who talked about righteousness and morality, and who were cunning and sinister in their hearts, and how many things they had done that caused others to despise them. Although I am a demon, I am a righteous demon. "


    "Don''t spout nonsense. A devil is a devil. Didn''t you claim to have killed a million heroes? Just based on this point alone, you will never be able to do it openly."


    "Good, Old Man Lu, let me ask you this. There is a Fierce Tiger Sect which, in order to expand the sect, forcibly moved out of the nearby mountain people and demolished their homes. If they don''t want to follow through, then they would use force to show off their might, causing countless deaths and injuries to the mountain people."


    "This... Of course we should! "


    "Of the three thousand five hundred and eighty people in the Fierce Tiger Sect, not a single one is left."


    "It was a good kill, but a little overkill."


    "Also, Great River Sect, send people to assassinate us and take our treasures. Over three hundred people from the Bright Moon Villa were slaughtered. Should we kill a sect like this? "


    "He deserves to die!"


    "Yes, not only was the Great River Sect destroyed by me, but all of the branch and honorary disciples have also been killed."


    "Why do I keep having the feeling that you''re bragging about yourself? Have you never killed a good person? "


    "Old Man Lu, what is a good person? Can you explain it to me? "


    "This ¡­"


    "Hmph. Let me tell you. To any person or power, those who go along with the plan are good people, and those who go against the rules are bad people."


    "Then you also have the suspicion of murdering innocent people."


    "I admit this. If you''re talking about being killed by me in the wrong, there are indeed a lot of them. However, other than a few, I don''t care about them at all."


    "Oh?"


    "There are a few people who, according to what I know, have good character but are just too pedantic. Every time they encircle and annihilate me, they always rush at the forefront, saying that they will take the law of heaven on their behalf. I couldn''t resist killing them all. "

 C12

    "You are revealing your demonic nature."


    "Speaking of which, I feel the most sorry for that Heaven''s Secrets Hero. This old man is very kind and has saved me many times, but his goal is not pure, so he always wanted to persuade me to go with him and even said that he would help me wash away my demonic nature."


    "This is a man of great wisdom and benevolence."


    "I really couldn''t beat him back then, so I made a bet with him. I said that I would hit you three times. If you don''t move an inch, then I will leave with you."


    "What was the result?"


    "Cough, don''t mention it. I used all my strength and punched him twice. He didn''t move at all and still looked at me with a smile."


    "Then wouldn''t you have lost?"


    "How could benzun lose? A woodcutter just so happened to pass by, so I pretended to kill him." While Heaven Breaker was still anxious to save him, I gathered my energy and gave him the final strike. "


    "And then?"


    "And then? Shit, this is the first time in my life I''ve ever won so badly. The unspecialized character didn''t have any defense and just used his body to take a punch. The original body''s punch had sunk into the ground and sent mountains flying. At that time, Old Man Tianji''s meridians were completely destroyed and he was on his last breath. Before he died, he gave me a dagger and wrote two words on the ground. "


    "Which two words?"


    "Extreme Heaven."


    "What do you mean?"


    "I still can''t figure it out."


    "Just like you said, it''s really a pity. This Heaven''s Secrets Hero should be a rare and extraordinary person." The two words he left behind definitely have a deeper meaning. "


    "Those two words are nothing. I just don''t understand why he didn''t defend himself. He should be able to see through my intentions."


    "Perhaps this is what it means to sacrifice one''s life for another."


    "It''s pedantic, if you ask me. "I, Situ Tianlong, have transformed into a devil. I stand at the top of the world and do whatever I want to do. What kindness, what kindness? I think that what is pleasing to my eyes is kindness, and what I like is goodness."


    "How is this any different from those hypocrites you spoke of who are good at doing things and bad at doing things to others?"


    "But I''ve never admitted to being a good person."


    "You know your own limits."


    "Old Man Lu, do you dare to say that you''re a good person?"


    "I guess so. At least I didn''t kill the innocent."


    "Haha, very good. You didn''t kill the innocent, but you''re still in such a sorry state. I wonder what you think?"


    "Sigh, actually, I quite agree with what you said just now. You are not afraid of the Great Evildoers, you are only afraid of hypocrites. "Sigh, I can only blame my carelessness in making friends, treating the jackal as my best friend and using it instead. In the end, I even poured a bowl of sh * t on my head, forcing me to say no. I had nowhere to go."


    After speaking for a long time, Situ Tianlong and Lu Gan suddenly felt as if they shared the same illness and shared a feeling of mutual appreciation. Gradually, they began to talk about everything.


    After thinking about it, he also talked about how to treat Hong Yang. However, at this moment, the two of them were no longer as tit for tat.


    "Brother Lu, what do you think we should do with this kid?"


    "Old Long, in my opinion, since the two of us can be together in his body, this is also fate for the three of us. "How about we teach him together?"


    Sigh, Brother Lu, to be honest, I can only possess him and can''t pass on anything to him. Moreover, if I can''t possess him, I can only stay in his body for one day.


    "That is to say, I am better off than you. Although I cannot reincarnate, I can stay in this kid''s body until he dies, and then I will also die."


    "Alright, Brother Lu. Since that''s the case, then I''ll leave this kid to you. I have had a good time anyway. The only regret is that I didn''t kill that crafty Nine Heavens Sword Saint. Forget it, I finally understand. All of this is fate, there''s no way to avoid it! "


    "Sigh, I finally found someone who could dig out my heart. If you disappear like that, what meaning would there be for me to be alone? What was the point of living in the bodies of others all day long? "When the time comes, I will also disperse my soul remembrance. We brothers will go together."


    "Brother Lu ¡­" Situ Tianlong''s voice trembled.


    "Don''t be touched, I was just bored."


    Silence, a long period of silence ¡­


    "Old Long, I thought about it. We can''t just leave silently like this. We have to leave something behind. If you and I can''t even leave a speck of dregs, wouldn''t we be too aggrieved? "


    "Brother Lu, what do you think?"


    "I''m trying to think of a way, how about we send something over to this kid together?"


    "Why are they spreading it all together?"


    "If only you and I can fuse soul remembrance." You can''t, but I can. "


    "How do we fuse them?" You and I are not people of the same world, so the cultivation techniques we cultivate are also different. "


    "I see that the dagger you transformed earlier shouldn''t be your original will form, but an external object right?"


    "That''s right. Speaking of this dagger, I do remember something. This dagger was left to me by Heavencraft San. This dagger is quite strange. It''s incomparably sharp and contains a boundless aura of slaughter and death. However, I am unable to use it. Furthermore, this dagger can possess the soul. Got it! Brother Lu, why don''t we try attaching our souls to this dagger and then use this dagger to fuse with it? "


    "Old Long, you''ve finally become smart. That''s what I thought. Although there are many differences between us, but the martial arts, the different paths, I think we can try. "Fine, this is the kid''s good fortune. If you can''t do it, then let''s go together."


    "Alright, I agree!"


    A moment later, two rays of light, red and gold, intertwined around a dagger. Occasionally, the light would shine brightly, and occasionally, the light would dim.


    After a long time, the red and gold rays of light finally quieted down after a violent collision.


    In Hong Yang''s spiritual sea, all that was left was a dagger wrapped in light floating there.


    "Brother Lu, it''s done!"


    "Hahaha, are you convinced or not? I''m a fucking genius."


    Two particularly excited sounds came from the dagger.


    "Brother Lu, what cultivation technique are you cultivating? It''s so complicated!"


    "Old Long, your demonic art is pretty good. I want to learn it too." "Wow, the power contained in this dagger is so tyrannical. If I could use it, I would have been able to collapse the sky!"


    "Brother Lu, I''m a bit confused. You said that we''re not people of the same world, but why do we have language?"


    "There seems to be another theory behind this. I heard that in the ancient times, there was an almighty figure that could seal the heavens ¡­"


    "Wait, let''s not talk about this for now. Something''s not right. Brother Lu, have you found a problem? "


    "Are you saying that we''re running out of time?"


    "Did you see that?"


    "I knew it long ago. You really are a decaying demon. After fusing with you, you only have two hours left."


    "Finished, finished! Two hours, it''s not enough!"


    "There''s no need to rush. I''ve already thought about it. Our two techniques will not be transferred." There''s still time. "


    No magic?

 C13

    "Right, we won''t teach him a single martial skill. We''ll only teach him all of our years of cultivation experience and methods to solve difficult problems, so he can use them as a reference." "With tens of thousands of martial artists, he should be able to walk his own path. A martial skill or technique must be created by relying on his own strength. In the future, it will depend on his ability."


    "Alright, we''ll do as elder brother says!"


    "First awaken this kid''s source spirit."


    Not only could the dagger speak, it could also emit a sharp might, causing Hong Yang''s heart to tremble intensely.


    "Child, we are currently conversing through soul remembrance. It won''t harm you, so you don''t need to be afraid ¡­"


    "Stop!" Old Brother Lu, you''re too long-winded. Let me say it. "


    Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign was afraid that he would waste more time, so he took the initiative to explain the whole situation in a single breath.


    Fortunately, Hong Yang''s mind was sharp, and was able to understand what they were saying. A few of the questions were about to be asked, but they were stopped.


    "Child, let''s pass on our lifetime worth of martial arts experience to you. This kind of forceful indoctrination will have some impact on your sea of consciousness. Just endure the pain." Remember, these things will be of great use to you. "


    Boom!


    Before Hong Yang even had time to prepare, a ray of light carrying a majestic wave of energy violently surged over.


    The pain only lasted for a moment, then Hong Yang lost consciousness.


    After the light dissipated, a weak voice came out from the dagger, "Cough cough, Brother Lu, this kid is too weak. His source spirit could actually faint instantly."


    "Old Long, it''s not that he''s too weak, it''s that we have too many things to pass on to him."


    "Haha, enough. My wish has been fulfilled. Brother, I can''t hold on any longer. I have to go first."


    "No, why should I follow behind you? Let me go first."


    "F * ck, you want to compete too?"


    "Leave that dagger to him."


    "Nonsense, even if I wanted to, I can''t take it away with me."


    "Aiya! "This is bad!"


    "What''s wrong?"


    "We still don''t know his name!"


    "It doesn''t matter, as long as he knows who we are."


    "Kid, did you pass your enemy''s name to him as well?"


    "Don''t you?"


    "Haha, you''re already f * * king wearing the same pants, you just have to pout your ass to know what kind of sh * t you''re going to pull!"


    "How vulgar!"


    "Yo, even devils can speak vulgarities. Let''s go, let''s not waste time."


    "No, I still have to ask this kid what his name is. Little guy, wake up. Don''t forget to shout your name three times into the sky. Let us all know the name of our disciple. He can boast even in the Underworld. "


    Hong Yang woke up, completely waking up. It was as if he had just had a big dream, his head was swelling up to the point that it looked like it was about to split.


    With much effort, Hong Yang managed to sit up. To his astonishment, Hong Yang found that the wounds on his body had all healed, and even his internal injuries had completely healed. A pitch black dagger was thrown to his side.


    After an unknown period of time, Hong Yang was continuously recalling the information in his mind. Suddenly, he straightened his back, stood in the secret room, and raised his head as he roared: "My name is Hong Yang! My name is Hong Yang! My name is Hong Yang! "


    Unknowingly, Luo Qingyao had also woken up. She looked at Hong Yang and the two of them acted like fools looking at madmen.


    Hong Yang knew what kind of great opportunity he had obtained, but he did not reveal it in the slightest. After shouting three times, he shifted his gaze to Luo Qingyao.


    "Don''t, don''t come over!"


    Luo Qingyao was terrified by what she saw.


    "Miss Qing Yao, don''t be afraid, I was originally a constable of Ningyang City. A murder case has occurred in your Luo Family, from last night onwards, I have been investigating this case. As far as I know, you are currently the only survivor of Luo Family."


    Hong Yang didn''t mind that he had almost lost his life to Luo Qingyao. In that situation, it was understandable for a woman to do any kind of crazy action.


    After listening to Hong Yang''s explanation, Luo Qingyao''s heart calmed down, but her vigilance still surfaced on her face.


    "Chief Constable Hong, can you return the dagger to me? That is something that belongs to my Luo Family. "


    Luo Qingyao felt that the dagger in her hand was safer.


    "Just leave it at my feet."


    But when Hong Yang turned the dagger around and handed it over to Luo Qingyao, Luo Qingyao didn''t dare to touch it, because that attack from before had already cast a shadow in her heart.


    Hong Yang smiled, put down the dagger and retreated to a certain distance, then sat down cross legged and closed his eyes and concentrated. Earlier, he had only temporarily understood the information in his mind, but now, he needed to carefully process and digest it.


    As they gradually went deeper, Hong Yang was completely shocked. What Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao left behind was simply an incomparably precious and rich treasury.


    Those experiences in martial dao training, from shallow to profound, to the point of falsifying it to be true, were incredibly marvelous. It was enough to turn corruption into magic. All kinds of interpretations were sharp and profound, causing people to suddenly understand. They could only clap on the table and cry out in admiration.


    Hong Yang took out the cultivation method ''Three Styles of Wind and Thunder'' that he learned in the Taiyi Sect and examined it for confirmation. He discovered that there were many flaws in them, and then he improved them according to the experiences of the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao.


    "Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, first style, Wind Gale Thunder!"


    "Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, second style ¡ª Thunderstorm Roar!"


    "Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, third move: Thunder Tremor!"


    Hong Yang could not help but demonstrate the modified ''Three Styles of Wind and Thunder'' in the secret room, and the result made him extremely happy. Even though it was just an exercise, he acted as if he was the enemy and did not go all out. But now, this set of Three Styles of Wind and Thunder had increased in power by several times compared to before.


    Cultivation techniques were divided into different grades, and the biggest difference was their might. The main reason for this difference was the flaw in the cultivation technique. This'' Three Styles of Wind and Thunder ''was originally a relatively low level three cultivation technique, but after being improved by Hong Yang, its power was comparable to a second level cultivation technique.


    Of course, the compilation of a cultivation technique evolved on a certain basis. Although improvements could make up for the flaws and increase the power, in essence, they could not change anything. In other words, improvements could only improve a martial skill''s perfection and squeeze out its strongest power. However, compared to higher rank martial skills, there was still a gap. Moreover, high level techniques still required the corresponding cultivation realm to support it.


    But even so, if the things that Hong Yang was doing right now were to spread out, it would be enough to make people go crazy. There would even be people who would try to capture him and use a ruthless method to rob his soul.


    Hong Yang suddenly had an idea, and immediately stopped his attack.


    "A higher grade cultivation technique must have its flaws. If I can improve it again, then as long as my cultivation can keep up, there shouldn''t be any more opponents at the same level?" But where can I get my hands on it? High-grade techniques are treated as treasures and will not be passed down easily. "


    "Let''s not think too much about it for now, we''re still carrying the burden of a lawsuit against me, bringing Luo Qingyao out right now is the most urgent matter, we should return my innocence."

 C14

    After making up his mind, Hong Yang coughed lightly before saying to Luo Qingyao: "Miss Qingyao, to be honest, because I investigated the case of your Luo Palace and was instead framed, I wanted to ask you to be my witness to wash clean the grievances on my body."


    Luo Qingyao slowly raised her head, revealing a pale and haggard face. The fear in her charming eyes had long since faded, and replacing it was a thick grief.


    "Constable Hong, although you are not masked, I have heard of your name before. You have captured countless thieves and thieves, but you have never killed a single person. Qingyao, after you leave this place, you must help my Luo Family to bring the culprit to justice. "


    Luo Qingyao''s tone was mournful and her expression was sad. Two streams of tears had long rolled down her cheeks like raindrops, making people want to pity her.


    Hong Yang was also a hot-blooded man. Upon seeing this, waves in his heart slightly rippled, but disappeared in a flash. He knew that if it was not a murder case, the two would not have met. He only knew Luo Qingyao, but Luo Qingyao did not know him.


    After taking in a deep breath, Hong Yang said calmly, "Lady Qingyao, please be at ease. As long as we can clear this matter of injustice, Hong Yang''s duty is to capture the culprit and return justice to you."


    Luo Qingyao stared fixedly at Hong Yang; this was a calm yet firm man. Although his appearance was somewhat ancient, his calmness gave people a feeling that they could rely on.


    After a while, Luo Qingyao held onto the wall and stood up. She took out a cyan colored medicinal pellet from an exquisite pouch on her waist, and a sweet smell immediately pervaded out from the private room.


    "Constable Hong, Qingyao has no way to repay this favor. This is a Origin Accumulation Pill, please accept it."


    Origin Accumulation Pill!


    When Hong Yang heard these three words, his gaze immediately focused. He had only heard his master talk about it, but had never seen it before. This Origin Accumulation Pill had a price but no market in the outside world, it was extremely rare, and the Medicinal Pills Aristocratic Families did not sell it easily, only the big sects and powerhouses would pay a high price to buy one.


    As long as a practitioner below the ninth stage of Returning Origin Stage consumed this pellet, their realm would immediately increase by one level. However, this pellet could only be used once since it was ineffective.


    Because of Hong Yang''s injuries, the cultivation had dropped, and the original seventh level of the Origin Convergence Stage was about to drop to the sixth rank. If he could use this Origin Accumulation Pill, not only would he recover, he might even be able to make a breakthrough.


    Hong Yang hesitated for a moment, then took the Origin Accumulation Pill into his hands, "Originally, I should not have accepted Miss''s gift, but now that fortune has come, and danger is everywhere, Hong Yang will not be hypocritical, after this matter, I will thank Miss again." With that, he swallowed the Origin Accumulation Pill without hesitation and sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes and started cultivating.


    After a while, a burst of strong and pure Qi swirled and condensed in Hong Yang''s dantian and Qi Sea, and then flowed through his entire body. After one cycle, Hong Yang could feel that his cultivation had indeed recovered to the seventh stage of the Returning Origin Stage, and it seemed like it was about to break through.


    Hong Yang had achieved perfection. He opened his tiger-like eyes, and a bright light flowed through them. His aura was no longer the same as before.


    Luo Qingyao was extremely surprised by Hong Yang''s performance. Ordinary warriors would need at least four to four hours to refine a single Origin Accumulation Pill, yet Hong Yang had only used the time of half a cup of tea.


    Of course, she did not know that this was due to Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao. They had too much experience in the area of elemental energy conversion, so Hong Yang only wanted to go with the flow.


    "Miss Qing Yao, we can leave now."


    Hong Yang suddenly jumped up, and when he felt the abundant vitality in his body, he was in a great mood.


    Luo Qingyao nodded and pressed on the mechanism on the wall.


    "Hold on!"


    Hong Yang suddenly spoke out to stop him. He felt that he was a little too pleased with himself, as he had not yet asked about an important matter.


    "Miss Qing Yao, before we head out, tell me all you know about the incident that occurred in the Luo Residence. This matter is extremely important, so don''t hide anything from me."


    Luo Qingyao naturally understood what Hong Yang meant, and immediately explained everything that had happened to her during the murder case.


    From Luo Qingyao''s explanation, Hong Yang could roughly guess that the cause of this case was that dagger.


    According to the memories left behind by the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign, after getting this dagger, he used it as his weapon and named it the Sky Dragon Dagger. At that time, Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign set up the trigger method, using the dagger to pierce through the warrior''s body as a guide.


    It had to be said, this method was unimaginable. Who would willingly use a dagger to stab a hole in themselves?


    Although no one had been able to unravel the secrets hidden within the dagger for ten thousand years, the people were always hoping for luck and greed, hoping that they would be able to obtain a Heaven''s Pet on their own. Therefore, when faced with such an ancient magical weapon, no matter what he did, it wouldn''t be surprising.


    If the target was Dagger, then the scope of the suspicion would be too big. Now, one thing was certain, the news of his Luo Family obtaining the Sky Dragon Dagger had been leaked. And the person who leaked this news should be a member of the Luo Family, so it was impossible for ordinary people to know of this news.


    But now, other than Luo Qingyao, everyone was dead, and there was no proof at all. It looks like this case could become a headless case.


    Hong Yang did not tell Luo Qingyao the thought in his heart. He could not let Luo Qingyao lose faith in himself when he was extremely weak.


    "Since Old Master Luo has given us instructions in his previous life, I think we shouldn''t go out and wait for someone from the Pine Wind County to come rescue you. "If you go out now, I''m afraid the killer will take the opportunity to kill you."


    Hong Yang dispelled the thought of leaving the secret room.


    Luo Qingyao rejected her offer flatly. "No, since I can lure the killer out, Constable Hong, why don''t you take the opportunity to capture him! Are you afraid of death? "


    Hong Yang was stunned by what he had said, and then immediately said: "Miss Qingyao, you misunderstood me. Since I dared to be a constable, I have never been afraid of death, but it''s not worth it for me to fear death. You might not even know how high a killer cultivation is, but he could instantly kill all 231 of your family members, including your family''s guards, who were all warriors of Returning Origin Stage or even the seventh stage. If the two of us are targeted by him, then don''t talk about revenge and capture him, you can only leave behind a lingering grudge. "


    Luo Qingyao stared at Hong Yang, her eyes filled with deep hatred: "Constable Hong, you are afraid of death, even though I am not a man, I still know how to be brave and how to walk the narrow path is the best. But you? As a constable, he should have stood up for the victims and proclaimed justice to the heavens. "Unexpectedly, you''re actually such a cowardly person."


    Hong Yang was speechless for a moment, then touched his chin with slight embarrassment: "My young miss, sometimes you can''t be emotional, you can''t catch a criminal just by relying on courage, you have to rely even more on this place." As he spoke, he pointed at his own head.


    Ka-cha! *


    Luo Qingyao did not care about Hong Yang''s warning, and used her dagger to stab the mechanism.

 C15

    Weng! *


    A burst of sound could be heard as the stone doors on the stairs opened.


    "Close it!"


    Hong Yang panicked and rushed over, wanting to press the mechanism.


    "I can''t close it. The mechanism has been destroyed by my dagger. Chief constable, do you have the guts to follow this little girl?" Luo Qingyao spoke with contempt.


    Hong Yang laughed bitterly: "Just follow behind me." With that, he stepped onto the stone steps.


    Light was already shining in from the entrance of the secret chamber. It was obvious that the sky was already bright.


    Returning to the study room, Luo Qingyao''s tears had long started to fall uncontrollably, as she tried her best to resist her grief. Hong Yang peeped through the crack in the door, and after confirming that there was no one outside, he gently pushed open the door and walked out with Luo Qingyao.


    Arriving at the garden outside the study, Hong Yang suddenly felt as if he had seen the light of day again. Although the weather was cold and the wind was biting cold, it was incredibly refreshing.


    Just as the two were about to leave the garden and head towards it, they heard someone shout from the rooftop behind them, "Capture him!"


    Hundreds of Black Armoured Army Soldiers appeared on top of the roofs and walls, drawing their strong bows and strong crossbows, surrounding the small courtyard.


    Seeing the situation, Hong Yang''s brows twitched, he turned and looked towards the rooftop. He recognized the person who gave the order, it was the Black Armoured Army 100 family head, Chang Si Yuan. He cupped his fists and said: "Hong Yang greets Master."


    Chang Si Yuan stared at Hong Yang coldly, "Truly, there''s no place to look for you. No wonder we couldn''t even find you after searching the entire city."


    Hong Yang said straightforwardly: "It looks like if I say that I was wrongly accused, the Hundred Families Master might not believe me."


    Chang Siyuan pondered for a moment before replying with a slightly relaxed expression, "I believe you can''t be a criminal and you can''t be an accomplice."


    Hong Yang was ecstatic: "Master, you have made clear that I have found Miss Luo Qingyao. As long as we wait for the Pine Wind County people to come, everything will be revealed."


    "Alright, then let''s wait for a while longer."


    Chang Siyuan jumped down from the roof, and lightly glanced at the dagger in Luo Qingyao''s hand. Then, he stretched out her hand and said: "I believe Miss Qing Yao has been worrying and feeling exhausted all this time. Please follow me, I''ve already arranged a place to rest."


    For such a long time, Luo Qingyao had been tensed up and truly felt exhausted. Thus, she walked towards Chang Si without thinking much.


    "Stop!"


    Hong Yang suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Luo Qingyao.


    Luo Qingyao looked at Hong Yang with a puzzled expression.


    Hong Yang did not care about Luo Qingyao, but smiled at Chang Si Yuan: "Master Bai Hu, don''t blame Hong Yang for thinking too much. Miss Qing Yao is the key to the Luo Palace''s murder case, Hong Yang hopes to personally accompany her. "


    Chang Siyuan was displeased, "Constable Hong, what do you mean by this? Can''t so many of us compare to you? Miss Qingyao, don''t listen to him. Just follow me. With the Black Armoured Army to protect you, there will be no mistake. "


    In the face of Chang Si Yuan''s urging, Luo Qingyao was instead a little hesitant, and a trace of a strange feeling faintly rose in her heart.


    Hong Yang saw that Luo Qingyao was hesitating, and said in a low voice: "Miss Qingyao, before someone from Pine Wind arrives, I hope you can be cautious."


    Compared to the distance, she trusted Hong Yang more. If Hong Yang had any ulterior motives, he would have long been exposed in the secret room, so there was no need to wait until now.


    "Miss Qing Yao, before the truth is revealed, Hong Yang is still suspicious." Chang Si saw that Luo Qingyao seemed to have changed her mind and reminded him loudly.


    Luo Qingyao said indifferently: "I''ll be troubling you. I will wait here, I''m not going anywhere."


    "No." Hong Yang suddenly objected, "Miss Qing Yao, I think we should go eat. This place is not far from the Drunken Immortal Tavern, where do you think we should go?"


    "Alright, Constable Hong, let''s go."


    At first, Luo Qingyao was confused, but then she understood Hong Yang''s intentions, the more people there were, the safer it would be. Even if there were people who dared to scheme against her, they would leave behind many clues, and at that time, with the strength of her Pine Wind, she would definitely be able to find the results.


    Chang Siyuan''s face darkened. He suddenly took a few steps back, forcefully waved his hand, and shouted, "Release the arrows!"


    "Whiz!"


    Before Chang Si Yuan''s voice had died down, the arrows had long been shot like rain! His movements were uniform and even when the arrow was shot through the air, only one sound was heard.


    Since the moment Hong Yang saw Chang Saiyuan, his vigilance had not dropped. Just as Chang Saiyuan was about to retreat, Hong Yang had already wrapped his arms around Luo Qingyao as his body soared into the sky like a swimming dragon.


    Black Armoured Army were all the city guards under the Pine Wind County. They were carefully selected and strictly trained killing machines, and cultivation s had all reached at least the first level of Returning Origin Stage. It was originally a strong and hard bow and crossbow, and coupled with the bow and arrow that contained vitality, its lethality was extremely strong. Within a hundred steps, it could easily penetrate a tree trunk that was as thick as a bucket, and even the experts of Earth Origin Stage did not dare to go straight for it.


    "Again!"


    Chang Si Yuan did not expect that Hong Yang would have already prepared himself to avoid this attack. He could not help but be enraged.


    When Hong Yang leapt up, he had already calculated his next move, and just as the tip of his foot touched the ground, he sprung up once again and pounced towards the wall.


    Thunderstorm rolled out!


    Without waiting for Black Armoured Army at the top of the wall to pull back his bow, Hong Yang''s single palm had already struck out!


    Boom!" Bang!


    An absolutely strong force smashed down from the sky, causing the Black Armoured Army on top of the wall to fly out like a countless number of sandbags. Half of the wall also collapsed along with it, causing smoke and dust to rise in all directions as miserable cries sounded out repeatedly.


    Hong Yang''s palm strike was aimed at the courtyard wall, the Black Armoured Army Scholars were only there to listen to orders, they did not deserve to die.


    Luo Qingyao was being hugged by Hong Yang and felt like she was suffocating, but she did not mind. She could already see that Chang Si Yuan was ordering them to shoot, it was clear that he was going to kill the two of them.


    With a thought, Luo Qingyao raised the Sky Dragon Dagger in her hand and said anxiously: "Constable Hong, it''s for you."


    Hong Yang did not care about catching the dagger at all, his palm struck out with the hole, his body plummeting down, he broke into a run! The sound of arrows tearing through the air could be heard from behind him.


    Fortunately, Luo Residence was filled with winding corridors. When Hong Yang stepped into one of the corridors, not even the arrows could do anything.


    Chang Siyuan repeatedly shot three arrows as an alarm, then chased after them with his Black Armoured Army warriors.


    Hong Yang consecutively passed through several courtyards, but suddenly let go of Luo Qingyao and said in a deep voice, "Hurry and run, follow me and run."


    "You''ve been shot!"


    Luo Qingyao suddenly exclaimed, there was an arrow carved on her shoulder, the blood had long soaked her clothes.


    Hong Yang clenched his teeth, he extended his hand and grabbed the arrow shaft, and with a kacha sound, he broke the arrow shaft and threw it onto the ground, "Don''t worry, quickly run!" Without further ado, he grabbed Luo Qingyao''s hand and fled for her life.


    Luo Qingyao was pulled by Hong Yang as the wind screamed past her ears. Very quickly, she arrived in front of a courtyard wall facing the street in the Luo Palace.


    Hong Yang ignored the pain in his shoulder, and carried Luo Qingyao once again, spinning his body, and before he could even step on the wall, Chang Si Yuan''s angry shout came from behind: "Release the arrows!"


    "Whiz!" "Whiz!"


    The arrows were like locusts, blotting out the sky and blotting out the sun.

 C16

    Ah!


    At this moment, Hong Yang stood firmly on top of the wall, and with a roar in desperation, he activated all of the vital energy in his body and instantly covered his entire back.


    Pah pah pah pah pah!


    Hong Yang''s back was instantly pierced by countless of arrows, like a frightened hedgehog, it was terrifying.


    With a stuffy groan, Hong Yang seized the opportunity to jump down the wall. He staggered and almost fell down, while Luo Qingyao was also thrown to the ground.


    The passersby saw that Hong Yang''s back was pierced with arrows and blood was flowing out, they were scared and ran away. In the distance, shouts could be heard from the street.


    Hong Yang resisted the pain, reached his hand out and pulled out a few arrows, and without looking back, he shook his hands out from the wall.


    This wall was ten meters tall, and warriors of the first second rank of the Returning Origin Stage couldn''t jump onto it. However, this was actually because of the Returning Origin Stage of Chang Si Yuan, who would have never thought that just as he jumped onto the wall, a few arrows carrying strong wind would fly towards him.


    Ouch! Plop!


    Chang Siyuan cried out in alarm. His feet slipped, his body slanted, and he fell back into the Luo Mansion''s courtyard.


    On the streets, when Luo Qingyao saw Hong Yang''s miserable state, her eyes turned red, and tears rolled down her cheeks. Just as she was about to stand up and support Hong Yang, he felt a heart-wrenching pain in her lower leg.


    Seeing that Luo Qingyao was also injured, Hong Yang forcefully took a breath, ignoring his own injuries, he quickly walked forward and pulled Luo Qingyao up from the ground, and hugged him again. Each and every one of his actions was heart-wrenching. His facial features were contorted, and there was not a single trace of blood on his face.


    Luo Qingyao laid in Hong Yang''s embrace, not caring about the difference between man and woman, and took out a pellet from her pocket. After a bit of identification, he stuffed it into Hong Yang''s mouth: "This is a Blood Coagulation Pellet, quickly consume it!"


    Hong Yang swallowed the pill and turned around to leave while carrying Luo Qingyao, wanting to pass through the alleyway. However, after only two steps, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground. The loss of blood and the pain left him powerless.


    Luo Qingyao struggled to get up, and quickly took out a handful of pills and placed it on her palm.


    "This is the Muscle Meridian Pill, this is the Returning Energy Powder, this is ¡­"


    Every time he discovered a useful pill, he would randomly stuff it into Hong Yang''s mouth.


    Hong Yang laid on the ground, tilted his head and gave a tragic smile: "My young miss, slow down, let me swallow one each. It''s such a precious thing, it''s such a pity that I can''t taste it."


    Luo Qingyao saw that Hong Yang still wanted to tease and didn''t know what kind of feeling was in his heart. He cried and laughed: "Stop talking, hurry up and circulate your Essence and use the medicinal power."


    However, it was too late to run at this time. One after another, groups of Black Armoured Army s as well as constables rushed over, about to surround Hong Yang and Luo Qingyao.


    "Qingyao!"


    Suddenly, at the sound of a call, a person jumped down from a pavilion on the side of the street. That person moved as fast as lightning and arrived in the blink of an eye.


    When Luo Qingyao saw the person, she was startled for a moment, then cried with joy: "Third Uncle!"


    The person who came was in his early fifties, dressed in luxurious clothing with a jade belt, with a ruddy complexion and an extraordinary bearing. He was Luo Hua''s third brother, a genius figure in Pine Wind County, Luo Dongting.


    Luo Dongting, a dual cultivating in the alchemy arts, was already an expert with Earth Origin Stage. He also reached Pill Master''s fourth rank in terms of alchemy, so his talent could be said to be peerless.


    "Third Uncle, Qing Yao ¡­" I almost lost sight of you. "


    When Luo Qingyao saw her loved ones, the grievances in her stomach turned into tears and she sobbed silently.


    Luo Dongting saw that Luo Qingyao''s hair was in disarray, she was in a sorry state, and there was even an arrow in her leg, she could not help but be enraged: "What happened? "Who did this!?"


    Just as they were talking, Chang Si Yuan, Fang Qian and the rest of the soldiers and constables had surrounded the place.


    When Chang Si Yuan saw Hong Yang who looked like a bloody man crawling on the ground, he clenched his teeth and ordered, "Let him go..."


    "Don''t release it!"


    Fang Qian grabbed onto Chang Si Yuan''s hand, stopping him from firing the ten thousand arrows at the same time.


    Chang Siyuan said angrily, "Constable Fang, how dare you offend us from the bottom!"


    Fang Qian smiled apologetically, and said submissively: "Master Chang, look at that person''s identity token." He pointed to Luo Dongting.


    Chang Siyuan snorted coldly, following Fang Qian''s finger. On Luo Dongting''s waist, a cauldron shaped jade tablet was hung, and in the middle was the word "Luo", written in gold.


    Ouch!


    It was a jade cauldron flourishing with gold, and it was the unique identity token of the Pine Wind County Pill Master.


    Could it be that the family head of Pine Wind had come? I heard that the family head s with Pine Wind are old people and the person in front of us is in the middle of prosperity, so he shouldn''t be the family head s with Luo Family. But even so, based on his attire, he should be someone with an esteemed position in the Luo Family.


    Chang Siyuan gave a dry cough and bolstered his courage. He cupped his hands and asked, "May I know your name, sir?"


    "Uncle, he''s the one who tried to kill me!" If it were not for this Constable Hong sacrificing himself to save her, Qingyao would have already been saved by thousands of arrows! "


    Luo Qingyao''s fingers moved further and further away, her beautiful eyes were filled with frost.


    Originally, Luo Dongting was furious at his niece''s miserable state, but now that Luo Qingyao had pointed out the culprit, how could she let it go?


    Luo Dongting turned around, his expression as cold as frost. He stretched out a slender jade-like finger, pointed it at Chang Si Yuan, and softly spat out a word: "Die!"


    Plop!


    Without any warning, Chang Siyuan fell onto his back. A moment later, a stream of blood flowed out from under his head.


    Fang Qian gulped down a mouthful of saliva and his legs started to tremble uncontrollably. He saw a round and smooth hole impressively appearing on Chang Siyuan''s helmet.


    "Oh my god, what kind of expert is this?! His Returning Origin Stage was actually instantly killed!"


    Fang Qian was so scared that his soul left his body and he trembled as if he wanted to slip away.


    The group of black armored soldiers also began to retreat. This kind of shock had exceeded their imaginations.


    "City Lord has arrived!"


    Suddenly, a shout came from afar. Ningyang City Master Gu Changdong had arrived!


    Luo Dongting pointed to kill Chang Si Yuan, and just as the constable was about to escape, he saw that Ningyang City Master Gu Changdong and his men had arrived.


    After Hong Yang found out that the unfathomable expert in front of him was Luo Qingyao''s third uncle, Luo Dongting, he quickly asked: "Other than Miss Qing Yao, no one escaped from this murder in Luo Family, did you know?"


    Luo Dongting was first stunned before he angrily glared at him and roared a few times: "What did you say!? What did you say!? What did you say! "


    Hong Yang did not have time to explain the whole story, and anxiously said: "Quickly bring Miss Qing Yao out of the city!"


    Luo Qingyao pulled the confused Luo Dongting back: "Third Uncle, believe him, save us."


    Although Luo Dongting did not know the reason, he was a decisive person. He predicted that there would definitely be something hidden behind this, and with one in each hand, he picked up Luo Qingyao and Hong Yang, soared up, and flew away.


    Seeing that Hong Yang and were saved from afar, Gu Changdong roared: "Senior Brother, quickly chase them!"


    A constable who was dressed up at the side had already jumped out like an arrow and chased after Luo Dongting.


    Gu Changdong said to the people at the side: "Leader Leng, if these people run away, then all of us are finished."


    The Ningyang City s of the Ningyang City city guards all had a cold front, and had long been bought by Gu Changdong, so they were well aware of the reason why. They immediately raised their arms and shouted, "All the fourth rank s in the army and above, hundred households and chief flags, change to fast horses, bring the Cloud Breaking Crossbow, follow me in pursuit of the criminals! Those who disobey will be killed without mercy! "


    The arrows of the crossbow were made from Red Refined Iron, and they were also fed with extremely toxic poison. The power of the crossbow could split stones and pierce through gold, and the toxicity was obvious, it was a heavy crossbow arrow specially used to deal with high level warriors. Even if it was a Earth Origin Stage expert, he would still die after being hit by it.

 C17

    Gu Changdong also jumped on his horse, grabbing a Cracked Cloud Crossbow, he then chased after them.


    The Earth Origin Stage Rankers were indeed extraordinary, Hong Yang could only hear the howling of the wind beside him, and the strong gale coming from the air made him unable to even open his eyes.


    Carrying two people, Luo Dongting easily jumped over the Ningyang City Wall, and sprinted in the direction of the Pine Wind County. He actually still had the energy to ask questions like this.


    Very quickly, Luo Dongting knew of the entire situation, and Hong Yang confirmed his guess.


    Luo Dongting was the person that Luo Family had sent to retrieve the Sky Dragon Dagger, and on the way, he hadn''t met any messenger officials at all. This was enough to prove that Gu Changdong had not sent anyone to report the Luo Palace murder case to the Pine Wind County at all. There was only one reason why he did not send any messages. Gu Changdong was related to this case, and he was the main culprit.


    Then, when the people from the Ningyang City sealed the city to search for him, they didn''t allowed him in and out, causing Luo Dongting, who just happened to arrive, to become suspicious, this was the first time they coincidentally met.


    Luo Dongting was unable to contain his rage: "You''ve gone too far, a small city lord actually dares to act so viciously towards our Pill Master''s Luo Family. When I go back and report to family head, I will cut him into a thousand pieces, and the sect backing him will not be able to escape! "


    "You can''t go back!"


    Following the sound of a rough voice, a black shadow passed by Luo Dongting and landed in front of him, blocking his way.


    It''s a Earth Origin Stage expert!


    Luo Dongting stood firm and was secretly shocked in his heart. Looking up, he saw a tall and sturdy man with a black veil over his face standing there with his arms crossed.


    Luo Dongting placed Hong Yang and Luo Qingyao down, he was well aware that the other party was neither a friend nor an enemy, so without wasting any time, he pointed his finger towards the distance.


    The black-veiled man let out a cold snort and also threw out a punch from far away.


    Boom! *


    The two forces collided, and a muffled explosion sounded in the air.


    Luo Dongting did not wait for the finger energy to grow any stronger, he immediately struck out with his palm, the black veiled man welcomed the attack with his palm.


    Boom!


    After the explosion, Luo Dongting retreated a few steps and stood still, with a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. The other party, on the other hand, did not move an inch.


    Earth Origin Stage!


    This exchange of palms caused a hint of coldness to surface in Luo Dongting''s heart.


    To a practitioner at the level of Earth Origin Stage, their combat power was at the first stage of the first stage, which was absolute suppression. If they cultivated a high level technique, they could almost easily kill an opponent at the first stage.


    "Looks like his cultivation is higher than mine, but I wonder what his martial skills and techniques are like."


    With the thought to give it a try, Luo Dongting rushed forward again. This time, he did not clash with the opponent head on, but used his technique to fight against the black gauzed man.


    As expected, the cultivation method the Pill Master''s Luo Family possessed was not ordinary at all. Even though Luo Dongting''s cultivation level was one level lower, he was still on par with the black veiled man.


    "Qingyao, if you guys can leave, then hurry up and leave. I can feel the hooves of the horses galloping towards us. It seems like a large group of people are chasing after you." Luo Dongting reminded Luo Qingyao as he fought. A Earth Origin Stage Ranker was extremely sensitive to unusual movements in the environment.


    "No, third uncle, let''s go together."


    How could Luo Qingyao abandon Luo Dongting and escape on her own?


    Hong Yang struggled to lift up his hand and pull Luo Qingyao away: "Young miss, you have gone silly again. If the two of us were to leave, your uncle would no longer have any worries.


    "Hong Yang is right. Qingyao, listen to him. Leave quickly." Luo Dongting had a deep understanding of Hong Yang''s reaction and judgement. He thought to himself that this kid was definitely intelligent and meticulous, he could definitely be a good person, why did he run away with his Ningyang and become a little constable? It was truly a pity.


    Luo Qingyao slightly hesitated, then warned, "Third Uncle, you must be careful." With that, he pulled Hong Yang and left.


    "Wait, let''s walk this way." Hong Yang pointed to the dense forest by the side of the road: "After passing through this forest, you will reach Little Tang River. There is a pier two Li down the river, there are boats."


    Luo Qingyao was intelligent, she immediately understood Hong Yang''s intentions. She would definitely catch up to her by taking the main road, and only by crossing the river would she be able to escape this calamity.


    Very quickly, Hong Yang and Luo Qingyao arrived at the pier of the Little Tang River. However, they were greatly disappointed.


    There was an open-air bar near the pier for fishermen and boatmen. With no other choice, Luo Qingyao supported Hong Yang and walked over, then found a table and sat down.


    The owner of the inn was an old man. Seeing the arrows on Hong Yang''s back, he was so shocked that he almost slipped and fell.


    Hong Yang''s face turned pale white, but he still revealed a smile on his face: Do not be afraid, old uncle, may I ask when the ship will arrive?


    The old man''s face was filled with fear as he said in a trembling voice, "Young..." "Little brother, judging from the time, the Zhang family''s fishing boat should be back soon."


    "Alright, uncle, do you have any wine here?"


    "Yes ¡­" Yes... "Wine."


    "Great! Quickly bring me two jars. Don''t worry, this lady will pay."


    Luo Qingyao was at a loss: "Where do I have the money to pay? Just now in the woods, I did as you said and threw everything I could throw in the opposite direction. "


    Hong Yang laughed powerlessly, and pointed to Luo Qingyao''s round and smooth earlobes.


    Luo Qingyao raised her hand to feel it, it was a small pure gold earring.


    Luo Qingyao didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. She took off the earring and placed it in Hong Yang''s hands.


    At this moment, the old man placed two jars of wine and two bowls on the table, then moved far away.


    Hong Yang opened the clay seal of a wine jar, and a biting cold alcohol smell immediately pervaded out.


    "Hm!" "Good wine!" Hong Yang took a deep breath, and praised.


    After three consecutive bowls, Hong Yang''s pale face finally had a blush, and he smiled towards Luo Qingyao: "Come, young miss, help me with something."


    Luo Qingyao was blankly staring at Hong Yang drinking strong wine like it was water. Hearing Hong Yang''s summons, she was a little confused: "What should I help you with?"


    Hong Yang pouted and said indifferently: "Draw the arrow."


    What!


    Luo Qingyao''s expression changed upon hearing this. She knew what Hong Yang was planning, but she didn''t dare make a move. That would be an unbearable pain.


    Hong Yang downed another bowl of wine and raised his voice: "Draw the arrow, or my blood will run out."


    Luo Qingyao was in disbelief. She had clearly given Hong Yang various pills to stop the bleeding. But her eyes wouldn''t lie, there was still fresh blood slowly seeping and flowing on Hong Yang''s back.


    "Why is that?"


    Luo Qingyao was confused.


    Hong Yang laughed bitterly: "Young miss, the arrow is in my flesh, it breaks the moment it is touched. If I don''t pull the arrow out, I will constantly bleed."


    After Luo Qingyao heard this, she finally realized the truth and felt extremely ashamed. That''s right, the arrow was in the meat. If it wasn''t pulled out, no matter what medicine she took, just a slight movement of the sharp arrow would cut the flesh again.


    However ¡­ Could it be that just by forcefully pulling it out, Luo Qingyao''s hands had already begun to tremble?


    Hong Yang held up the jar of wine, took a few gulps, and roared: "Big Miss, do you want me to die!? "Pull the arrow out!"


    Luo Qingyao clenched her teeth and grabbed onto an arrow shaft, but didn''t dare look at it directly. She turned her head, steeled her heart, and with a tug, she threw the arrow on the ground like she was shaking off a poisonous snake.


    An extremely suppressed growl suddenly sounded out from Hong Yang''s throat, and with trembling hands, he poured a bowl of wine into his mouth.


    One, two, three...


    Thirty-six arrows, thirty-six grunts, thirty-six bowls of wine!


    When the last arrow was pulled out, Hong Yang drank the last mouthful of wine and fell face first onto the table, fainting.

 C18

    At that time, if Hong Yang had not used his entire strength to block it, the thirty-six arrows would not have been embedded in his flesh.


    Luo Qingyao''s face had long ago lost all its color, and she had unraveled the clothes on Hong Yang''s back that were riddled with holes. She then hastily scattered the various pills on the table, and fed them to Hong Yang one by one.


    The old uncle who was selling wine came over and shakily picked up the empty wine bowl on the table. He could not help but exclaim, "Could this be an iron man?"


    Suddenly, he heard a whistle coming from the river. He raised his head to look and frowned, "Lady, the Zhang Clan''s fishing boat has returned."


    When Hong Yang woke up, three days had already passed. Luo Qingyao told him what happened afterwards.


    That day, when Hong Yang had just fainted, the Ningyang City guards had also rushed over to the Little Tang River pier along with Leng Feng.


    Just when Luo Qingyao thought that she had nowhere to go, Third Uncle Luo Dongting arrived in time.


    It turned out that after Luo Dongting left, he was a little worried about Pine Wind County alone, so he sent a few people after him to retrieve the Sky Dragon Dagger to ensure that there were no accidents. The few Luo Family experts just happened to bump into Luo Dongting and the black veiled man.


    The black gauzed man realized that the situation was not looking good and ran away. Luo Dongting did not pursue them relentlessly. He knew that Luo Qingyao and Hong Yang were in a dangerous situation, so he brought people to look for them.


    And when Gu Changdong and Leng Feng found the items that Luo Qingyao had thrown away in the forest, the two of them started to argue.


    Gu Changdong thought that Hong Yang was purposely trying to make things difficult for them, but in reality, he did not go to Little Tang River Pier. But Leng Feng thought that Hong Yang must have gone to the Little Tang River Pier, so the two of them went their separate ways.


    However, when Luo Dongting brought the Luo Family experts out, Leng Feng immediately felt that the situation had turned for the better. He also ignored the Black Armoured Army s that followed him and left in a hurry.


    Just like this, Hong Yang and Luo Qingyao managed to escape death this time. Soon after, under the escort of Luo Dongting and the others, they rushed back to the Pine Wind County Pill Master.


    Because Hong Yang had done well in protecting Luo Qingyao, his Luo Family were meticulous in their diagnosis and treatment, and all sorts of pills were not stingy at all. It was only because Hong Yang had bled too much that he had fainted. It was said that wounds were easy to treat, and blood was hard to cure. Thus, he could only rely on himself to slowly slowly recover.


    Seeing that Hong Yang had finally woken up, Luo Qingyao''s worries for the past few days finally cleared up. She immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for Hong Yang to recuperate.


    Hong Yang did not hold back and wolfed down his food. He ate to his heart''s content, just that he felt that he was lacking something when he did not have any wine to drink.


    The pellets of the Pill Master''s Luo Family were indeed effective, and after receiving the thirty-six arrows on his back, Hong Yang''s flesh had been cut open. After a few days of recuperation, he had actually fully recovered without leaving a single scar.


    After the meal, Hong Yang sipped on the expensive fragrant tea and asked Luo Qingyao who was sitting beside him: "How is Ningyang?"


    "family head has already reported this to the princess. I heard that she became furious and sent people to rush to Ningyang at that time. She even sent many experts to the Star Moon Sect to denounce them for their crimes."


    Hong Yang smiled and said: "Your Highness, by doing this, I don''t think there will be any gains. I expect that everyone who was involved in this matter would have already left long ago. Why aren''t you running after poking your head in such a big trap? Gu Changdong and the rest are not stupid. "


    Luo Qingyao''s expression was dejected as tears surfaced in her eyes. "If that''s really the case, then how do you avenge my family?"


    Hong Yang said: "If we really want to capture Gu Changdong and the rest, the most urgent matter at hand is to send people to seal off all the important paths to the mountain passes, and have our images and images made public."


    At this moment, the door curtain suddenly opened, and a person walked in.


    This person was handsome, dressed in luxurious clothing and robes. Every movement he made was handsome and elegant. Upon entering the room, his gaze landed on Luo Qingyao: "Cousin sister Qingyao, you''re here indeed, making it easy for Luo Xiao to find you. Come with me quickly."


    Luo Qingyao lightly wiped the corners of her eyes, forcing herself to smile: "Cousin, why are you looking for Qingyao?"


    As Hong Yang held the teacup, he understood in his heart: "So this beautiful young man is Luo Qingyao''s cousin."


    Luo Xiao acted as if he did not see Hong Yang, and only anxiously urged Luo Qingyao: "Cousin sister Qingyao, for family head to call you, it must be something urgent."


    Luo Qingyao stood up and nodded towards Hong Yang: "Brother Hong, you rest first, I will be going first."


    Hong Yang smiled slightly: "Don''t worry about me, hurry up and go."


    After Luo Qingyao left, Hong Yang paced back and forth in his room, stretched out his limbs, sat on the ground, and started cultivating with his eyes closed.


    Ever since he was injured by the Sky Dragon Dagger, to the point where he was unable to pass down his skills to the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao, and then to the point where he ate the Origin Accumulation Pill, although a series of encounters caused Hong Yang''s cultivation to improve, because he had always been in danger, he was unable to stabilize it. Thus, it was rare for him to be in peace at this moment. It just so happened that he could focus on his cultivation for a while.


    Originally, Hong Yang was a warrior at the seventh stage of the Returning Origin Stage. However, later on, he was struck out by his master, and suffered from internal injuries. His realm continuously fell, and was just about to fall into the Returning Origin Stage. Then, the remnants of the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign''s power healed all his injuries and consumed the Origin Accumulation Pill. This caused his cultivation to return to the seventh stage of the Returning Origin Stage and his vitality increased greatly as well. He had reached the peak of the seventh stage and was faintly ready to break through.


    Hong Yang protected his spirit with one hand, he did not have any distractions, and his spirit energy circulated through his meridians in an orderly fashion. At the same time, he was looking at the experience left behind by two teachers whom he had only met once, and quickly met the requirements to advance.


    On the path of martial dao, it was easy to cross borders and hard to advance in cultivation. The requirements to advance were relatively simple. Three elements: Qi Gathering, Body Tempering, and Performing. As long as he could reach these three points.


    The body tempering method Hong Yang learned in the Taiyi Sect had long been proficient in. Originally, the only difficult point was that he liked it, but with the experience of the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao, it was also easily achievable.


    In less than four hours, Hong Yang felt his Qi Sea and his Sea of Consciousness shake greatly at the same time.


    Success!


    Eighth level of Returning Origin Stage!


    Hong Yang felt the power of his improved strength and was extremely surprised. He was indescribably grateful to the two teachers.


    After sincerely kowtowing three times to the void, Hong Yang muttered in his heart, "will forever remember the great kindness the two seniors have shown me, don''t forget it."


    After levelling up, Hong Yang was in a good mood as he pushed open the door and walked out.


    Although the house he lived in wasn''t big, the environment was elegant and quiet. The small bridge, square pavilion, green lake rockery, everything was available.


    Just as Hong Yang was sitting in the small pavilion and thinking about the issue of Ningyang City, Luo Qingyao came over.


    However, Hong Yang realized that Luo Qingyao was frowning, her complexion even more haggard, as if she had something weighing on her mind.


    "Miss Qingyao, the tragedy has already happened. You don''t have to be too sad. You have to believe that the heavens are right." Hong Yang thought that Luo Qingyao was still trapped in the pain of the massacre of her clan, and consoled her with her words.


    But who knew that after Luo Qingyao heard this, he started to sob.


    This time, Hong Yang was at a loss on what to do, and for a moment, did not know what to do.


    After crying for a while, Luo Qingyao walked to the lakeside, suppressed the grief within and said: "If it wasn''t for the ice in the lake, I really want to jump in like this."


    Hong Yang was baffled when he heard it, "Why does Miss Qing Yao say that?"


    Luo Qingyao leaned on the railing, and said in a sad and gentle voice, "I have yet to understand the tragic situation of the hundreds of lives that have been lost in my Ningyang, but this lord of the family head has acted on his own and wanted to betroth me to cousin Luo Xiao."

 C19

    Hong Yang was speechless. He felt that what the Pine Wind had done was indeed a little excessive, no matter what, he should first give Luo Qingyao an explanation so that he could discuss other things. However, he was also very relieved, because something like this had happened on him before, when he was in the northern part of the Hong Castle.


    Back then, after Hong Yang''s parents went missing, the Hong family did not send people to search for them first.


    Luo Qingyao dual cultivated in alchemy and martial arts, with exceptional talent, she would definitely become an expert in Luo Family in the future. It was probably because Luo Xiao''s parents had thought of it, and made plans for the future.


    While Hong Yang and Luo Qingyao were conversing in the pavilion, a pair of eyes was secretly watching them from outside the courtyard.


    After a long while, the person quietly left. Actually, Hong Yang had long since noticed him, it was just that he did not point it out, because he recognized that the person was Luo Xiao.


    The hatred and jealousy in Hong Yang''s eyes could easily guess what he was thinking.


    After Luo Xiao left, Hong Yang consoled Luo Qingyao for a while, pretending that she was tired and was going to rest, only then did Luo Qingyao leave.


    Luo Qingyao was in her youth now, and after experiencing such a situation, her heart had a different feeling towards Hong Yang. She felt especially lonely in an instant, which allowed her to feel a kind of strength that she could rely on when she was by Hong Yang''s side.


    Luo Xiao returned to his residence with a heavy heart, his brows furrowed in deep thought for a long time. Suddenly, he had a plan, and quickly left.


    Early morning of the second day, Luo Dongting brought a man dressed in official uniform to find Hong Yang.


    "Princess has summoned, please go quickly Hong Yang."


    With that simple sentence, Hong Yang got into the carriage and headed towards the County Lord''s Mansion.


    Hong Yang originally thought that the princess was a dignified and graceful elderly man, but he never would have thought that the gentle and refined middle-aged man in front of him was the lord of the Twelve Cities,.


    After the greeting, Suo Qingqiu ordered some people to give Hong Yang some tea to look at his seat, and then smiled: "Hong Yang, you have done your job diligently in Ningyang City, for the matter of Luo Family''s 90% chance of survival, Pill Master''s Luo Family has already been reported to me. In consideration of your loyalty, bravery, and righteousness, I appoint you as the Patrol Officer. Your official position is a thousand household, and is specifically responsible for the investigation of the annihilation of the Ningyang and grant you the authority to mobilize the Black Armoured Army of the twelve cities under the Pine Wind County and to apprehend Gu Changdong, Leng Feng, and other suspects. At the same time, I will also assign ten experts above the fourth rank for your order. We must investigate the terrible case of Ningyang and find out the truth.


    An expert''s Earth Origin Stage and above, ten of them!


    Hong Yang was secretly surprised, the princess was indeed extraordinary. With so many Earth Origin Stage experts present, a single sect would be able to rule over a region. If they met with resistance, they would be executed without question. This was not going to capture the culprit, but rather, they were going to exterminate him!


    "I am indebted to the princess for your kindness. Hong Yang, under your responsibility, will definitely die. It''s just that three days have already passed and I''m worried that the suspect has long since escaped from the jurisdiction of Pine Wind County. Could the princess notify the neighboring counties to help and give me the right of passage? "


    When Suo Qingqiu heard it, he did not immediately reply. Instead, he played with the golden seal on the table and did not say a word.


    After a while, Suo Qingqiu looked at Hong Yang, and his gaze became stern: "If you are crossing a county, then do it yourself. The Pine Wind County will not acknowledge your identity, do you understand?"


    Hong Yang''s heart trembled, he immediately understood what Suo Qingqiu meant. Although each country belonged to the same continent, they were always fighting openly and secretly for territories and resources, their relationship was extremely close to each other, and if they ran over to other families to capture criminals, it would bring about a lot of trouble. Suo Qingqiu was telling him that he could go, but not to reveal his identity. Moreover, if an accident happened, no one would be able to save him, much less save him.


    Afterwards, Suo Qingqiu told Hong Yang to return to the Luo Residence first, and wait for him to summon the ten Earth Origin Stage experts before setting off.


    When night fell, Hong Yang lay on his bed, his mind in a mess, causing him to be unable to sleep for a long time.


    Exactly what kind of power did Sky Dragon Dagger contain to make people go crazy like this. Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao were unable to use it, so what could the people in front of them do?


    Gu Changdong, Leng Feng and the black veiled man, had they already escaped the boundaries of Pine Wind County?


    What would that pitiful girl Luo Qingyao do to her?


    Saibei Hong Castle had not been returned for more than ten years, and no one knew what it had become now.


    That''s right, there was also that silver needle on the screen in Luo Hua''s study.


    Chaos, too chaotic. Hong Yang felt a headache coming on as he unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.


    Carrying these questions, Hong Yang also gradually fell asleep. What happened in the past few days gave him an incomparable headache.


    Only on the morning of the second day did he slowly wake up. He turned around and got out of bed. He then looked out of the window at the scenery outside.


    The scenery outside the Luo Residence was very beautiful, filled with flowers and plants. At this moment, the sun had already risen, but the faint yellow smell had yet to disperse.


    He took a deep breath and mobilized all the strength in his body. Hong Yang''s eyes gradually became clear. He wanted to face these things in his best condition.


    Investigating the news of Luo Family''s death, no matter from what angle, was extremely urgent! He also clearly understood that with the Pine Wind County Master personally intervening, gathering ten experts from the Earth Origin Stage wouldn''t be a difficult task.


    There was no time to lose! Since Suo Qingqiu had put this matter in his hands, then he had to take responsibility until the end! Furthermore, the Luo Family would not allow him to delay for even a minute.


    While planning in his heart, Hong Yang also slowly walked out of the room. Walking in the courtyard, his Spiritual Sense moved slightly, and immediately probed into a few auras.


    None of these auras lost out to him by much. They were at least existences in terms of Returning Origin Stage! It truly is the Pill Master''s Luo Family. Even though it''s standing guard at night, there''s still such an expert.


    He shook his head and sighed at how sensitive he was. This was the Luo Family, the habits brought by the constables ¡­ It was better to change it.


    After all, the one who was going to catch Gu Changdong this time was a character like Leng Feng. Although they had the help of ten Earth Origin Stage experts, it was still not easy to find someone with such a large Pine Wind County.


    Walking slowly in the courtyard, Hong Yang''s brain did not stop to think. After walking for a while, he suddenly felt an aura much stronger than his own walking towards him!


    Hong Yang became nervous in an instant. He raised his head to look and then suddenly relaxed. This was because he had already recognized the person that had come.


    The person who came, was the person who had saved him and Luo Qingyao the other day, Luo Dongting.


    "Brother Hong Yang got up so early as well." When Luo Dongting saw Hong Yang, he took the initiative to greet him, "The sky hasn''t even brightened yet, and we''re already strolling in the courtyard."


    Luo Dongting had saved Hong Yang and he himself had a lot of recognition for him. On the other hand, Hong Yang admired Luo Dongting''s skill and his attitude of fighting to the death. These two understood each other a bit.


    "Today we are leaving to hunt for Gu Changdong, how can I not be early? I swear to capture this thief and bring him back! " Hearing this, Hong Yang clenched his teeth and said.


    Gu Changdong caused him to fall into such a state, and almost caused him to die! This matter had already been settled. Whether it was for the Luo Family or himself, he could not let Gu Changdong go!


    Leng Feng had also received instructions from Gu Changdong to bribe him. With thirty-six arrows, the pain was something that Hong Yang could never forget!

 C20

    "How do you know that it must be today?"


    Luo Dongting stared blankly for a moment, but then said with doubt: "Although there are still ten Earth Origin Stage experts within the Pine Wind County, there should still be at least one with some background! I think it''s a bit suspenseful to gather all of them within a day. "


    "Not necessarily." Hong Yang shook his head: "This is an extremely important matter, and since Suo Qingqiu has given the promise of ten Earth Origin Stage experts, it means that he also values them extremely. What''s more ¡­ If you leave a few days later, will your Luo Family agree to it? "


    Luo Dongting was startled, then laughed out loud: "Brother Hong Yang''s guess is indeed accurate. Suo Qingqiu has already promised me his Luo Family, and he will gather ten experts with Earth Origin Stage above the fastest speed possible! Even if I am unable to complete it today, I will not be that far off. "


    After the Ningyang City was completely exterminated, the most anxious one would not be Hong Yang, nor would it be Suo Qingqiu, but the Pill Master''s Luo Family! After all, they were from the same clan, so it was natural that they would do their best to help the Pill Master s with regards to his Luo Family.


    "Not to mention." Luo Dongting stopped laughing and said seriously: "When I was escaping, that black-clothed person I met also had Earth Origin Stage! It is impossible for Gu Changdong to order such a strong Ranker to do so, I suspect that Star Moon Sect is involved in this as well. "


    The Star Moon Sect was the power behind Gu Changdong. Although it was only an ant in the eyes of Pill Master''s Luo Family. However, it was still a sect after all ¡­ Since it was a sect, there would definitely be a certain number of Earth Origin Stage experts overseeing it.


    "That''s why this time, Suo Qingqiu gave his all and sent ten Earth Origin Stage experts." Hong Yang understood after hearing all these.


    Ten Earth Origin Stage experts, even if they were not as strong as Star Moon Sect, was enough to make them feel pressured! If Gu Changdong and Leng Feng were to be protected by someone from the Star Moon Sect. These ten Earth Origin Stage experts were enough to make them submit obediently.


    Luo Dongting, however, did not have the intention to stop. He hesitated for a moment, and in the end, said fiercely as well: "And if it is determined that it was truly the Star Moon Sect who ordered it. Other than Gu Changdong and Leng Feng, the entire Star Moon Sect will suffer the wrath of my Pill Master''s Luo Family! "


    The person who committed the evil this time, was definitely going to be handed over to Hong Yang. However, as the Star Moon Sect behind the scenes, they would definitely not let go of it! After all, the Pill Master s did not know of this branch known as Ningyang City. If he did not severely punish him this time, he feared that he would lose many of his family members'' hearts.


    The Star Moon Sect was also within the Pine Wind County. Although it was located at the border regions of the Pine Wind County, strictly speaking, it was still planned under Suo Qingqiu''s control. Otherwise, if it weren''t for the power of Pine Wind County, he wouldn''t have dared to set up his own power in another county.


    As long as they were in the Pine Wind County, then Suo Qingqiu and Pill Master''s Luo Family would have the ability to crush the other party into pieces! It was just that from a geographical point of view, if someone from the Star Moon Sect wanted to escape to the territory of another county, it would be a piece of cake. If they really managed to escape ¡­ Then he could only go out and investigate.


    Furthermore, Suo Qingqiu had said clearly, if you go to another county to investigate, you must not reveal your identity. Think about it, if a person without any status brought ten experts of fourth rank everywhere, they would definitely attract attention.


    Therefore, if it really reached that stage, he could only rely on Hong Yang himself. Thinking of this, he couldn''t help but frown as he felt the pressure on his body.


    Furthermore, he faintly felt that there probably wouldn''t be any result even if Pill Master went to the Star Moon Sect to denounce him. After all, the parties involved, Gu Changdong and Leng Feng, were not present. As long as they insisted, there was no way to investigate.


    Putting aside this topic, the two of them discussed a few other matters. He didn''t leave until the sky was completely bright.


    And after Hong Yang strolled around the courtyard for a while, he also felt that he had nothing to do. After eating breakfast, he returned to his room to continue cultivating.


    With the lifetime worth of experience of Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Lu Qian, the two ultimate Rankers, Hong Yang also felt that his cultivation was twice the result with half the effort. He didn''t wake up until late in the morning.


    He could feel that his body was filled with power. Hong Yang stretched lazily, and a crackling sound came out from his body. This was the sound of the joints relaxing after a long pause.


    His strength had once again improved. If this continued, in less than two months, he would break through to the ninth level of the Returning Origin Stage. And then ¡­ It was the time to attack the Earth Origin Stage!


    What happened next. The fastest would be this afternoon and the slowest would be tomorrow. They would be able to quickly depart and investigate and apprehend Gu Changdong, Leng Feng and the others! Right now, it was already past noon.


    After thinking about it, he still felt that he should go and find Luo Qingyao. After all, she couldn''t possibly send him off on her journey. And since she had saved her life, the two of them had an extremely good relationship as well. If she were to leave without even saying goodbye, wouldn''t that be a bit too rude?


    The amount of land occupied by Pill Master s was far beyond what Ningyang City s could compare to. Hong Yang wandered around for a while, and after asking a few people, he finally found the place where Luo Qingyao lived.


    He knocked on the door a few times. Only after a soft "please come in" was Hong Yang able to slowly push open the door and enter. Then, he saw Luo Qingyao on the bed, holding a zither in one hand, slowly practicing.


    He sighed in his heart. As expected of the talented lady of Luo Family, not only did she train in both alchemy and martial arts, she was also proficient in zither, chess and painting.


    Seeing that it was Hong Yang, Luo Qingyao also slowly put down the guqin. "Why are you here? At this time, you ¡­ Isn''t it supposed to be at the County Lord''s Mansion? "


    "For the time being, no one has come to notify me. If everything is ready, I will rush over as soon as I can. " Hong Yang nodded his head: "But before that, I still want to see you."


    After saying this, he also felt that something wasn''t quite right. With an embarrassed smile, he found a chair in front of the desk and sat down.


    Luo Qingyao didn''t mind, and said softly, "I''ve heard some things too. Princess Suo has already ordered you to be an inspector, to serve in a position of a thousand, and to be specifically responsible for the investigation of the annihilation of the Ningyang. " She pursed her lips. She still wanted to say something, but she didn''t speak.


    Hong Yang was tactful, he did not say anything, and waited quietly for Luo Qingyao to finish speaking.


    "I just want you to check it out first ¡­" Luo Qingyao hesitated for a while, but finally mustered up enough courage: "Can I come back and rest in Pine Wind County?"


    "Huh?" Hearing that, Hong Yang was greatly shocked: "What does Miss Luo mean by this?"


    He didn''t have any other intentions. It was just that he didn''t want to return to the Ningyang City anymore. As for either the Supreme Ocean Palace or the Hong Castle, he did not have the qualifications! Even he himself had never thought of where he would go in the future ¡­.


    "I didn''t mean anything else." Seeing Hong Yang''s shocked expression, Luo Qingyao hurriedly explained: "It''s just that I don''t have much to rely on since I''m in Pill Master. Other than Third Uncle Luo Dongting, Yun Che''s Luo Family is far inferior to that of yours. "

 C21

    Hong Yang did not interrupt, but continued to listen while Luo Qingyao slowly narrated.


    Luo Qingyao did not stop either, and continued, "Originally, I was at Ningyang. Even though I could not be considered rich, I could be considered a rich person in the city. "As a dual cultivating alchemist, she would occasionally practice her zither, chess, painting, and calligraphy. At least, she doesn''t have much to worry about."


    "Until those men in black completely annihilated my entire family! I thought I wouldn''t be able to escape. "In the end, it was fortunate that you saved him, and that my third uncle came to help."


    "At that time, I believed that after returning to the Pill Master''s Luo Family and getting rid of those people who were chasing and killing me, I would be able to calm down." As he spoke till here, Luo Qingyao''s entire body trembled, and there was a slight flash of tears: "But the truth, is far from being like this ¡­"


    When Hong Yang heard this, he suddenly stood up! His eyes revealed a look of astonishment as he looked at Luo Qingyao.


    Although Luo Qingyao had not finished speaking, but after being a constable for a long time, his experience deducing things from the bottom of his heart, had already guessed most of the things.


    His heart trembled slightly. He did not continue to sit down, but simply stood there and looked at Luo Qingyao, waiting for her to continue speaking.


    Ripples flowed through Luo Qingyao''s eyes, "Other than Third Uncle, no one here was friendly to me. It was not only the Great Master of the family head who disregarded my wishes and betrothed me to a cousin whom I had not even seen a few times. Last night, when I went back to my room, there were even a few people who were directly related in Luo Family who spoke to tease me. "


    Although this place was the Pill Master''s Luo Family, it was far from something the Ningyang City could compare to! But being around, Luo Qingyao felt even more uncomfortable. Coming here, and even ¡­ A completely unfamiliar environment.


    No one here knew her, and even if they knew her identity, they would not hide it. After all, Ningyang City was just an unremarkable branch family in the Pill Master. In this place, her position could be said to have plummeted.


    Other than Third Uncle Luo Dongting, no one else would take care of her. As for that Luo Xiao, Luo Qingyao only looked at him once, felt disgusted, and didn''t have the slightest bit of good impression towards him.


    Luo Qingyao could be said to be the only person she could truly trust and respect other than Luo Dongting! As for Hong Yang... She didn''t want to lose it.


    After hearing what Luo Qingyao had said, Hong Yang also became silent. He pondered for a long time. Just now, he had agreed with some difficulty: "I promise you. After the mission was completed, Gu Changdong and Leng Feng would be captured. and then we''ll return to the Pine Wind County and live the rest of our lives ¡­ "


    After saying this, it was as if all the strength in his body had been completely drained from him. However, the gaze she used to look at Luo Qingyao was much calmer.


    He already did not want to return to the Hong Castle anymore, but the imperial palace simply did not dare to. He had no way out now. Perhaps staying in the Pine Wind County and continuing to be a constable was also a good choice.


    While he was lost in his thoughts, a clamor suddenly came from outside the door. Hong Yang immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.


    Outside, the sounds of horses galloping could be heard. Hearing this voice, he instantly understood what had happened. He could only turn around and say to Luo Qingyao: "I''m sorry, Miss Luo. I may want to... "We''re leaving immediately."


    Although there were horses in the Luo Family, they were all in the backyard. No one had been seen riding out on business. There was only one possibility, then, for the sounds of hooves coming from the front door. That is, the person with County Lord''s Mansion coming to report.


    It was now the afternoon. He sighed to himself that Pine Wind County was indeed worthy of being the center of the twelve cities, and was far from something Ningyang City could compare to. Unexpectedly, in a short span of one day, ten experts of Earth Origin Stage had already been gathered.


    Bidding farewell to Luo Qingyao. Hong Yang did not linger, and directly walked towards the inner area of the courtyard. Qing Yao was left alone in her room, quietly contemplating something.


    Although Hong Yang and she had only known each other for a few days! However, the two of them had experienced life and death situations before. Naturally, the feeling between them was even deeper than normal people.


    And with just a short period of interaction, she had a little understanding of Hong Yang. Even though it wasn''t very deep, it was at least much better than those playboy from Luo Family.


    But in the end, he was not someone from the Luo Family! Although he was a dual alchemist, since he had started too late, he was still a girl. Perhaps some things had already been decided, he wouldn''t be able to make the decision for the rest of his life.


    The corner of his mouth faintly formed an arc. No matter what, the Pine Wind County is also the head of the twelve cities, it''s better to stay here and develop it than to bury it for the rest of your life.


    At this moment, outside the courtyard.


    Hong Yang didn''t know half of what he was thinking. At this moment, he was in the courtyard. Looking at the man before him, he seemed to be riding a huge horse.


    Although it was not Suo Qingqiu himself. However, looking at his official uniform, he was naturally a person of County Lord''s Mansion as well. Within this Pine Wind County, no one would dare to put on their official uniform and brazenly march on the streets.


    Seeing Hong Yang''s arrival, the people on the horses also dismounted, and then said to Hong Yang: "Just an hour ago, ten Earth Origin Stage experts arrived. Everything has been arranged. I request Mr. Hong Yang to follow me to County Lord''s Mansion, and make the necessary preparations. "


    "Yes." Hong Yang nodded slightly. A servant of the Luo Family had long brought a large horse over. Hong Yang got on it and said: "Let''s go."


    The two of them immediately rode on their horses and flew towards the County Lord''s Mansion. When the pedestrians on the street saw a set of official uniform, they naturally knew how to avoid it. In less than a quarter of an hour, they had arrived at the County Lord''s Mansion s gate.


    After getting off the horse, Hong Yang followed the person who came in. Finally, he met Suo Qingqiu in the hall.


    After a simple bow, Hong Yang released his Spiritual Sense and felt it. A short while later, he focused his gaze on the left and right sides.


    On the left and right sides, there were five extremely tyrannical auras! Hong Yang was actually unable to reveal the other party''s cultivation. But most probably, these were the ten Earth Origin Stage experts that Suo Qingqiu had mentioned.


    An expert of Earth Origin Stage! This was an existence that Hong Yang couldn''t even touch in a short amount of time. Right now, there were a total of ten names placed there.


    "Hong Yang." Seeing Hong Yang come up, Suo Qingqiu also lightly nodded his head, "Ten Earth Origin Stage experts have already gathered. I will also send someone to inform the other counties to fully cooperate with you! "


    After he finished speaking, he also walked down from the stage and walked to Hong Yang''s side. After which, he handed over a token.


    Hong Yang looked at the order badge. The token was not big, and there were some strange patterns on it. Yellow, Hong Yang did not recognize.


    But this pattern looks... A faint sense of majesty began to flow out! When Hong Yang looked at it, he even felt slightly dizzy.


    It was obvious that this was a token that had been infused with Yuan Qi.

 C22

    Seeing this order badge, Hong Yang thought for a moment and guessed what it was used for! But he did not finish, and only waited for Suo Qingqiu to explain himself.


    "I have said this before, other than the ten Earth Origin Stage experts, I will also give you the authority to mobilize the Twelve Commanders and the Black Armoured Army of each city." Suo Qingqiu slowly pinched his beard, and said: "This medallion, has this right! "It''s filled with Essence Qi. It can''t be imitated."


    So it was like that ¡­ Hong Yang''s heart sank, he knew, that he now had the power to do so.


    Other than him and Suo Qingqiu, there was absolutely no third person in the Twelve Palaces that could use Black Armoured Army, not to mention the heads of the other counties!


    The Black Armoured Army is the Pine Wind County, each city''s subordinate city guards, each city has tens of thousands of! With this help, Hong Yang was able to capture an entire city easily. No one could escape!


    And adding on the ten Earth Origin Stage experts ¡­ With such a terrifying lineup, if he still wasn''t able to capture Gu Changdong and the others, it would be a huge joke.


    As for the Innate Qi being poured into it, this was also the reason why Hong Yang felt slightly dizzy. He was slightly surprised. The effect of this token was definitely beyond his imagination.


    "Alright." Suo Qingqiu saw that Hong Yang did not say a word, and had sunk into deep thought once more. It''s getting late tonight, so you guys should rest here at County Lord''s Mansion for the night. Early the next morning, we will set out immediately. "


    He did not let Hong Yang return to the Luo Family. and also considered that it was impossible for these ten Earth Origin Stage experts to live in the Luo Residence. They were going to march together tomorrow. Now that they had gotten to know each other earlier, it wasn''t too bad.


    The amount of space that the County Lord''s Mansion occupied was not much less than the Luo Family, and it was also quite majestic. But the patrolling soldiers only had the Black Armoured Army of an ordinary profound practitioner at the first level of Returning Origin Stage. In this aspect, compared to his Luo Family, it was much inferior.


    The bottom of his heart was secretly sighing. A mighty County Lord''s Mansion, actually wasn''t as strong as a single Luo Family. No wonder Suo Qingqiu had been preparing so quickly the moment Luo Family had pressured him. There must be something more to it.


    Of course, this was not what Hong Yang was thinking.


    Those ten Earth Origin Stage experts would need to live in the County Lord''s Mansion tonight. Very quickly, Hong Yang was also familiar with their information!


    Among the ten Earth Origin Stage experts, eight of them were Earth Origin Stage! And the other two, were from fifth rank ¡­


    Of the two fifth rank experts, one was called Xiao Wucheng and the other was called Li Changfeng. The faint pressure that was being emitted from her body also caused Hong Yang''s heart to palpitate.


    After all, he was only at the eighth level of Returning Origin Stage! There was quite a distance from him to the Earth Origin Stage. If the two of them wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as Luo Dongting killing Chang Si Yuan.


    "Tomorrow, we''re leaving." Those two fifth rank Warriors were obviously the leaders of this group. Hong Yang also randomly picked a teahouse with them and sat down to discuss what would happen tomorrow.


    Before they came, there were also people who gave them a brief account of the situation. They naturally knew who they were going to chase after.


    "Gu Changdong will definitely not continue staying in the Ningyang City!" Li Changfeng said, "He will definitely flee to other cities. However, where should we go to find these Twelve Pine Wind County cities? "


    Indeed... This first step was extremely important! Right now, a full five days had passed. It was possible for Gu Changdong to escape anywhere. If he searched blindly for them, it would be no different from searching for a needle in a haystack.


    "The power behind Gu Changdong, where is his Star Moon Sect?" After pondering for a moment, Hong Yang asked.


    Hearing that, Li Changfeng immediately replied: "The Star Moon Sect is in the west of the Pine Wind County, inside a large mountain, it can be considered to be a relatively remote place! If we go beyond the mountains and to the left, it will be Qingcheng County''s territory. "


    The territory of Qingcheng County, was nearly twice the size of the Pine Wind County! Hearing this, Hong Yang also frowned.


    The worry that he had yesterday, like Suo Qingqiu''s, was not without reason! If Gu Changdong really escaped to another county, it would definitely be very troublesome ¡­ If he went alone to investigate, even if he met Gu Changdong, he would not be able to arrest him and bring him back.


    As the previous city lord, Gu Changdong was also an expert at the eighth level of Returning Origin Stage! If he met with these ten Earth Origin Stage s, there was naturally no way to escape. However, if the match went to him ¡­ Even if one could rely on Elder Xiaoyao and Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign''s experience to win, it was impossible to kill or capture them alive.


    This was also his greatest concern! He just hoped that it wouldn''t happen.


    "Star Moon Sect huh ¡­" After thinking for a while, Hong Yang suddenly raised his head and spoke again: "From the Ningyang City to the west, the closest city to the Star Moon Sect, what is it?"


    Frowning, the two remained silent for a good while. A moment later, Li Changfeng finally replied, "It should be ¡­" the Yuannan City. "


    From the Star Moon Mountain where the Star Moon Sect was located, a river meandered out. And the Yuannan City was located to the south of the river. It was also located at the edge of the Pine Wind County, and was extremely close to it.


    "Then this is it." Hong Yang nodded. He then looked at the two of them with puzzled expressions, and immediately analyzed: "The backer behind Gu Changdong, is Star Moon Sect. Now that he had provoked the Luo Family and was given the order to kill, he naturally did not dare to continue running. If I were him, I would definitely look for a place to protect him at the first possible moment. "


    "And Star Moon Sect, first is the power behind Gu Changdong. Second, it was located at the edge of the Pine Wind County, neglected to control it, and was also located within a large mountain. It was the most suitable place to hide! However, he must have also heard the news that the Pill Master''s Luo Family would send someone to get them. Thus, we do not dare to directly enter the Star Moon Sect. "


    Hong Yang paused and was about to continue speaking, but he was interrupted by Xiao Wucheng: "So, he will definitely choose the city closest to Star Moon Sect as his hiding place! And this Yuannan City is just south of Star Moon Mountain, so it is also the one being the most affected by the Star Moon Sect. Hide Here... "It''s the most suitable."


    As a result, the three of them agreed with this conclusion! Even if it was just a guess ¡­ As for the specific circumstances, they would have to go through a thorough investigation before they could find out.


    He made up his mind. The three of them chatted about other things before each of them dispersed. The sky had already begun to darken. It was obvious that ¡­ It was close to evening.


    The Pine Wind County wasn''t big, and the location of the County City was located to the west of the center. Thus, when one reached the Yuannan City, it would only take two days of time to increase the speed of one''s horse.


    Two days... He frowned slightly. If these two days were added up, it would have already been a full six days! After delaying it for so long, the chances of finding Gu Changdong became even slimmer.

 C23

    After a good night of rest, Hong Yang had become more diligent in his cultivation.


    He cultivated through the night until he woke up the next day ¡­ His whole body felt comfortable. This feeling was ten thousand times more comfortable than waking up from a long sleep.


    He got up, washed up, and ate breakfast. The sky had just turned bright. After calculating the time in his heart, he walked in the direction of the hall.


    Inside the palace, ten Earth Origin Stage Warriors, including Suo Qingqiu, were present. After hesitating for a while, Hong Yang revealed his plan from yesterday.


    Since he and the two Earth Origin Stage s had agreed, naturally no one else had any objections. When the time came. The 11 of them quickly galloped away.


    The target, was naturally the Yuannan City! Hong Yang''s heart was also filled with hatred, but those ten Earth Origin Stage Rankers, naturally didn''t need to worry about the issue of marching. Therefore, there was no delay along the way.


    Two days later.


    Beneath the southern gate of the Yuannan City, eleven riders had suddenly arrived. It was Hong Yang and the others, along with ten other Earth Origin Stage experts, had arrived at the bottom of the Yuannan City.


    "This is the place." Stopping, Hong Yang turned and jumped down from the horse: "Yuannan City, we have arrived."


    Because it was close to the river, it could be considered as one of the top cities in Pine Wind County! Even the city walls were much larger than the Ningyang City.


    "Go in." Xiao Wucheng was also the first to dismount. You can''t ride a horse in the city without special permission. This rule was the same everywhere.


    They all hid their auras and did not dare to release them. In the majority of the residents, even Earth Origin Stage Warriors were rarely seen. If he saw the top ten in one go, it would probably cause quite a sensation.


    Xiao Wucheng was the first to enter the city. Everyone in the city had to register their information. However, when he entered the city, he encountered a little trouble.


    "The people behind you, are they all with you?" He looked at the eleven big horses behind Xiao Wucheng. The soldier on duty swallowed his saliva and asked.


    "Yes. There are my friends behind us, and we have urgent matters to attend to in the city. " Xiao Wucheng frowned, he had a bad premonition: "What, is there a problem?"


    "Well, no." The soldier was stunned for a moment before recovering his composure. Seemingly indifferent, he replied, "A hundred silvers for each person entering the city."


    A hundred taels of silver!


    Hearing these words, Xiao Wucheng''s face immediately darkened. Xiao Yan''s finger tightened. Clearly, he was somewhat angry.


    He also knew that this soldier had treated them like wealthy merchants to be transported goods! After all, in the unique location of Yuannan City, there would often be a few wealthy caravans passing by.


    Even if they didn''t look like the wealthy merchants who had traveled so long, eleven people and one big horse, just these horses alone were already worth a lot of money.


    Even some wealthy merchants would not be able to afford a hundred taels of silver per person! It was obvious that this soldier had purposefully come here to cause trouble ¡­


    "What happened?"


    Seeing Xiao Wucheng stop, Hong Yang immediately understood that something had happened. He also walked up and asked: "What happened?"


    "Enter the city. One hundred taels of silver per person." All caravans entered the city at this price. If it''s not enough, you can use the goods as collateral. "


    The soldier shot a glance at Hong Yang, and said indifferently as before. It seemed that he had already decided on this price and would not make any changes.


    "The entrance fee?" Hong Yang was startled, then understood what happened: "We are not a caravan. You also need a city entrance fee? "


    Every city indeed had a entry fee! Even when Hong Yang was a constable in the Ningyang City.


    However, the entry fee was not that high. Ordinary commoners would not accept it. Even if they did, it would only be one or two copper coins.


    As for the caravan, a head of two was more than enough. This was also the most basic tax revenue of a city.


    And now, this soldier was asking for a hundred taels of silver! This price, no matter where it was, was unreasonable. It was no wonder that Xiao Wucheng was so close to losing his temper.


    "This is the rule, I don''t care if you are a caravan or not." A man with a big horse is worth this price. " The soldier continued, "If you don''t have any money, it''s simple. Leave the horse and you can go in."


    Although this horse wasn''t worth a hundred taels of silver, it wasn''t something that could be bought easily. Hearing that, Hong Yang''s face became gloomy.


    "We were sent by Pine Wind County. We want to enter the city to find the mayor. We have urgent business!" He said in a deep voice, "If you want to pay in the city, just say one or two taels of silver." A hundred silvers, no matter where in the world, would not be charged like this. "


    "Pine Wind County sent, evidence?" The soldier scrutinized his entire body before sneering, "You''re not even wearing your official uniform. Even if you''re lying, you still have to come up with some good tricks, right?"


    The ten Earth Origin Stage experts were naturally different from ordinary soldiers. As for Hong Yang, he had rushed out the door and had actually forgotten about this.


    "This is the command medallion." Hong Yang held back the rage in his heart, and took out the order badge that Suo Qingqiu had given him, "This is the evidence."


    Along the way, Li Changfeng also explained to him the representative of this brand. This badge was one of the high level badges used by the princess. It was called the Black Army Command, and it could mobilize any of the Black Armoured Army under one''s command, as well as a constable''s head and an ordinary army. They were second only to the royal family''s medallions that were given to each of the princesses.


    "What token is this?" "I''ve never seen it before ¡­" The soldier looked at it and then sneered: "Just using a token to impersonate it means you can hide it from me? One hundred and fifty taels of silvers, not a single bit less! "


    Hong Yang was startled, only then did he remember. It was impossible for low-level soldiers like the city guards to recognize the black order! I''m afraid this order will not be effective until after I''ve seen the mayor.


    He did not expect that by relying on this military order, he would be able to command the entire city''s Black Armoured Army! He didn''t expect that a small soldier would deny him here.


    "Token, no uniform." "That''s not it. Does it count as proof?" Hong Yang did not think about the conflict. Xiao Wucheng who was at the side snorted.


    "What?" Hearing this, the soldier subconsciously turned his head around. However, in the next second, he could no longer speak.


    Xiao Wucheng groaned, and an extremely strong imposing manner burst out from his body! That soldier was instantly sent flying five or six meters away, lying unconscious on the ground.


    Xiao Wucheng was finally angry! He was a peerless expert from the Earth Origin Stage! As for the soldiers opposite of him, they were merely at Returning Origin Stage.


    He was angry, but he did not make a move. He only released his aura! He had sent the other party flying four to five meters away, completely unconscious.

 C24

    The soldier was sent flying, his status unknown. With such a large commotion, it naturally attracted the attention of others.


    "Quick, report this to the patrolling officers." The other soldier immediately ran away in panic. As for the others, they quickly went up, and there were even some who ran down from the city walls. In that moment, there were fifty to sixty people who surrounded Hong Yang and the others.


    These fifty to sixty people, were mostly cultivation s! A few of them were cultivation s with Returning Origin Stage of the second level. They were clearly ten or so households.


    These people, even if it was Hong Yang, could be easily killed with time! Furthermore, there were ten fourth rank experts here right now ¡­


    However, they did not want to cause too much trouble. After all, they were all people from the same county. If they were to recklessly kill, it wouldn''t even make sense for them to do so.


    "We are Pine Wind County, sent by the princess to track down a person. We have urgent military matters, please let us through! " An expert of Earth Origin Stage took a step forward, and cupped his fists as he spoke.


    However, the moment he took his first step, the soldiers outside immediately pointed their weapons at him! He could only smile wryly and stopped moving.


    They were wearing casual clothes and did not bring anything that could prove their identity! As for the sole command medallion, these soldiers didn''t recognize it at all ¡­


    "Wait for the patrol." Hong Yang''s expression remained calm, and continued to speak, "Wait until he arrives and explains everything to the City Lord, then think of a way to meet him, and everything will be fine! All of us here are Earth Origin Stage experts, they can''t do anything to us. "


    When the others heard this, they also calmed down. No matter what, the other party had first extorted them, and they had the orders of the princess! As long as he could see the mayor, everything would be settled.


    "I say, it''s useless for you to surround us here." Li Changfeng calmed down and pointed at the unconscious soldier, "On the other hand, if he is not treated quickly, his life might be in danger."


    Although Xiao Wucheng did not do it on purpose, there was more than a realm of difference between a peerless profound practitioner and a person with Returning Origin Stage! Although it wasn''t fatal, it was hard to say if it wasn''t treated in time.


    "Naturally, there will be a physician who will treat you. You don''t have to care about this!" Out of the dozens of people, the one leading them, fourth rank, spoke.


    Sighing, a Earth Origin Stage expert behind him wanted to break out of the encirclement, and kill this group of people! However, he was stopped by Li Changfeng in time.


    After some thought, Li Changfeng also gave the order. Everyone stopped restraining their aura and directly released it without a care! Then... The might and pressure of the ten Earth Origin Stage experts gradually activated and filled the entire place.


    The leader of the group of Returning Origin Stage was stunned, and then immediately retreated a few steps, his face full of shock! As for the others, there were even some soldiers whose cultivation bases were not even at the first level of the Returning Origin Stage who directly sat on the ground!


    How, how is this possible! With his Returning Origin Stage, it was simply impossible for him to judge the opponent''s strength. However, he only needed to know that his opponent''s cultivation was far from something that he could touch.


    "What''s going on?"


    The soldiers kept retreating until they were more than a dozen meters away. Then, they stopped and gritted their teeth as they fought back. At this moment, a voice sounded from behind them.


    "Sir Patrol Officer!"


    Seeing the person behind him, the Returning Origin Stage man finally heaved a sigh of relief, and ran as if he was escaping from the place, all the way to the side of the patrolling officer, panting: "Those people in front, just now, for no reason, injured one of our brothers. And now, you are even confronting us. Looking at the aura, the cultivation is far above me. "


    This patrolling officer was also an expert in Returning Origin Stage, there was only a single step difference between him and Hong Yang back then. Hearing this, he also frowned and took a few steps forward.


    After merely taking a few steps forward, he had also felt that terrifying pressure. He immediately released his aura to defend. However ¡­ It still didn''t have much effect.


    Gritting his teeth, he walked forward and stood thirty meters away. Then, he shouted out loud: "Who are you people? This place is a Yuannan City under the jurisdiction of the Pine Wind County, if not for those solo villages and towns, you all would not have been allowed to behave so atrociously! "


    "Why are we acting so wildly? When that unconscious soldier wakes up, you can ask him and he will know. " Xiao Wucheng coldly snorted.


    "You!" The patrolman choked and immediately became angry. He turned around and waved his hand, "Back forty steps. Archers, get ready! Go to the City Lord''s Mansion and call those experts there! "


    He also retreated a few steps back. Then, dozens of soldiers behind him came forward and immediately aimed their bows at them.


    Hong Yang''s pupils contracted. These arrows were exactly the same as the ones he had shot at the Ningyang City! If he had to use his full strength, even Earth Origin Stage experts would not dare to talk about his sharpness.


    However, the people beside them were at least experts of Earth Origin Stage. He did not care about these bows and arrows. Hong Yang also took a few steps back and stood beside Li Changfeng. Releasing his Essence.


    "We want to see the mayor." Hong Yang took a few steps back, and then repeated what he had originally said once more: "We are the people from Pine Wind County, whom Lord Suo Qingqiu has sent to thoroughly investigate the massacre of their Ningyang City. Now, I wish to request to see the City Lord.


    "Investigate thoroughly the massacre of the Luo Family?"


    Hearing this, the patrol officer muttered to himself. Four days ago, someone from the Pine Wind County had come to notify everyone of this matter. Seemingly every single patrolling member of the household was aware of it. So now, it was not strange for people to come from different cities to hunt down murderers.


    If it was an ordinary person who said such words, he would definitely give the order to shoot without hesitation! But now, the other side had as many experts as the clouds in the sky. This allowed him to have a sliver of trust.


    After all, they had come from outside the city, and were at least experts at the eighth level of Returning Origin Stage. This kind of lineup was not something that could be found every day. Combined with his analysis of the annihilation of the Luo Family, when he raised his head, his eyes also shone with a few more points of light.


    "Are you still puzzled?" Xiao Wucheng looked at him, his gaze sharp: "My name is Xiao Wucheng, one of the core guard leaders of Pine Wind County! You should have heard of this name, right? "


    Xiao Wucheng! Even Hong Yang, as the constable of Ningyang City, had heard of this name before. When the Yuannan City Patrol Officer heard this, his gaze landed on Yun Che.


    "Humph!"


    Xiao Wucheng took a step forward, at the same time, the aura of an expert from the Earth Origin Stage, unreservedly swept towards the patrolling guard!

 C25

    Xiao Wucheng snorted, a huge pressure exploded out from his body, straight towards the patrolling officer!


    Bang!


    When the Essence Qi of the scout was released, there was actually a faint sound when the two clashed. The patrol guard took three steps back, his face filled with astonishment.


    Merely Xiao Wucheng''s aura was enough to harm a Returning Origin Stage Ranker!


    "Stop!"


    The patrolling officer clutched his chest, unable to utter a single word! Two more auras suddenly appeared on top of the city wall.


    The appearance of these two people, was so much so that they seemed to faintly contend against Xiao Wucheng! They looked at each other, then descended from the city walls that were dozens of meters high.


    The moment they landed, they finally felt Xiao Wucheng''s terrifying might. The expressions of the two of them became unsightly for a moment.


    "Peak of Returning Origin Stage! I never thought that there would be such an expert in this Yuannan City. " Before Xiao Wucheng could say anything, Hong Yang had already let out a light gasp of surprise.


    His own cultivation was at the eighth level of Returning Origin Stage. Adding the battle experience of the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder and the two elders, it was more than enough to face off against one of the Peak of Returning Origin Stage and not lose! However, if there were two of them, they could only guarantee their escape. They had absolutely no confidence in escaping!


    However, he had ten Earth Origin Stage experts by his side! Thus, right now, he didn''t need to worry about anything.


    On Hong Yang''s face, there was a trace of astonishment. As for the two Peak of Returning Origin Stage experts, their faces were already on the verge of crying.


    "You are... Earth Origin Stage cultivation? " One of them, a middle-aged man in a long robe stepped forward, "I wonder what happened earlier?"


    When he sensed the other party''s cultivation, he also faintly understood that there might have been some misunderstanding. After all, ordinary Earth Origin Stage experts fundamentally did not want to make a move against someone with third rank.


    "What happened?" When that soldier wakes up, you can just ask him yourselves. " Xiao Wucheng''s attitude was still tough. Hong Yang took a step forward and said, "That soldier, if he is not treated soon, he might really die."


    The middle-aged man glanced at them. The unconscious soldier lying on the ground. He had just called a soldier and told him to call the doctor.


    After doing all this, he turned around and continued, "I am Yan Meng, one of Yuannan City Protectors. He was usually in charge of the security of the southern part of the city. May I know what is the purpose of entering the city? "


    Hong Yang was a little resentful as well. He did not reply, and instead asked a question in reply, "May I ask, have you heard of the Black Army Order?"


    "Black military order?" Yan Meng was stunned for a moment and then replied, "It was a high level token for the county. It was a personal command that was second only to the princess. The person holding this badge can use all of the Black Armoured Army, city guards, and the scouts and constables of the twelve counties. "


    "Only, I''ve only heard of it, so I''ve never seen it before." When Yan Meng talked about the authority of the ''Black Armored Army'', he had a bad premonition.


    "Then today, you are fortunate to be able to see it." Hong Yang smiled, then took out the Black Army Command Plate from his chest pocket and showed it to him from afar.


    He knew, even though the other party had never seen a dark military order! However, only eighth rank and above could bestow this token''s origin energy fluctuations.


    Even with County Lord''s Mansion, it would be difficult to find a strong practitioner at this level! Other than those sects that had been passed down for a hundred years, only the imperial family had them.


    As expected, he saw this token! Yan Meng''s expression also changed slightly. Then he took a deep breath and asked curiously, "This, is it really a dark military order?"


    "Can these elemental energy waves be faked?" Furthermore, the pattern on top of the order badge, is something that only the Imperial Family has the right to bestow upon you! " Xiao Wucheng snorted coldly, scaring the surrounding soldiers so much that they retreated a few steps, thinking that he was about to explode again.


    "Quick, let them enter the city!" After carefully observing for a while, Yan Meng suddenly waved his hand. "Everyone move out of the way!"


    "Hmm?" When the previous patrolling officer saw this situation, he also asked doubtfully: "What, where exactly did they come from?"


    "Don''t ask, this matter isn''t something that you can meddle in." Yan Meng glanced at him with a cold expression. "And that soldier!?" When he woke up, he would ask for the reason. From now on, regardless of whether they are right or wrong, we will bet our City Lord''s Mansion and let them punish us! "


    "Lord Yan, you ¡­" The patrolman stared in shock, and then looked at Yan Meng in disbelief. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and could only reply, "Yes, this subordinate knows."


    He had solved this problem. Yan Meng and the other middle-aged man with long hair looked at each other. After receiving the latter''s nod, he gestured and said: "Please enter the city."


    Of these eleven people, other than Hong Yang, he felt that everyone else''s strength was above his. And that Black Army Command Token from before, was also taken from Hong Yang''s body. It seemed that this man whose only cultivation was inferior to him was actually the leader of this pair of people.


    "No need." Hong Yang shook his head, and did not continue to hide the truth, and directly explained the reason for their visit to Yan Meng in detail.


    "Just this morning, the person who came to inform us just left. At present, the City Lord has already begun his preparations. " Yan Meng also explained, "Regarding this matter, Suo Qingqiu sending people to inform us has already attracted the attention of all twelve cities."


    When Hong Yang heard this, his frown lessened slightly. He nodded and said, "This is naturally for the best. But we still want to see the mayor. I wonder if it can be arranged? "


    Yan Meng replied, "Of course! However, the City Lord was busy these days. I''ll report it later to try to buy some time. "


    "Can we arrange a meeting within today?" Hong Yang frowned: "Capturing Gu Changdong, this matter should not be delayed. "Since we came here on the first stop, we naturally have our evidence. We suspect that it''s extremely possible that he''s hiding in this city!"


    "It should be possible today, but I''m afraid it won''t be that fast." Yan Meng pondered for a moment and said, "It should be around dusk before we find the time to come." If it''s feasible, please loiter around the city for a while, is that alright? "


    Hong Yang pondered for a moment, and also agreed. They had already reached the Yuannan City, so as long as they could meet again today, there was no need to give the other party any more trouble.


    When he was a constable in Ningyang City, he also knew how much work the city lord had to do in a single day.


    If that''s the case, then don''t ask them too much. I only hope that the master of Yuannan City isn''t like Gu Changdong.


    "Then let''s wait until tonight at the City Lord''s Mansion. See you later." Seeing that Hong Yang had agreed, Yan Meng immediately said, "Then I will take my leave first. I will immediately make the arrangements."

 C26

    After agreeing, Yan Meng immediately left. Only Hong Yang and the rest of the eleven people were left on the main street.


    Right now, the sun was shining brightly! It was still noon and still quite a distance away from evening.


    "We, should also be wandering around in this Yuannan City." Li Changfeng suggested, "The soldier from before will extort us as a caravan. In that case, there should be a lot of merchants selling items here. "


    The reason Yuannan City were so flourishing, aside from the nearby rivers, it was also a necessary place for Pine Wind County and Qingcheng County to conduct trade. Every day, there would be countless customers selling goods here.


    It could be said that whether it was Qingcheng County or the Pine Wind County, it was impossible to find a second Yuannan City.


    "That''s true. He didn''t bring much with him during the trip. "Even if I have to buy some dry food from a tent, it would be good as well. I''ll be in need of it on the way."


    Everyone quickly came to a consensus. Although they didn''t bring much money, it was still enough to buy some basic necessities.


    After asking about the location of the market, they rushed over. The market was at the east of the city and if one were to look from afar, they would see a sea of people gathering.


    After arranging the time, Hong Yang, Xiao Wucheng and the rest also separated. After all, everyone had their own needs. If they all moved together, it would inevitably attract the attention of others.


    Hong Yang did not have much that he needed. As for healing medicine and the like, before he left, the Pill Master s had already prepared them for him, so he did not need to worry.


    He casually strolled in the market and after about two hours, he had already walked through the entire market. His hands were empty and he did not purchase anything.


    Sighing helplessly, he was just about to turn around and walk around again. In his line of sight, he suddenly saw something strange.


    In a booth, a woman was fighting with two men over something. The scene was intense, and there were even signs of a fight occurring.


    Originally, this kind of thing was extremely common in the market. But when Hong Yang subconsciously explored, he discovered that all three of them had cultivation s!


    Of the two men, one was at the eighth level of Returning Origin Stage, and the other was at the seventh level. And the girl, was at the level of Returning Origin Stage.


    Among ordinary people, this was already an extremely high level! Generally speaking, people who had reached this level rarely went solo. All of them would join the government or some other power.


    This obviously piqued Hong Yang''s interest. If it was someone from the government, it would be a bit inappropriate to steal from a girl.


    "What''s wrong?" Hong Yang stepped forward and asked. The stall owner''s face was also sullen, not daring to say too much.


    "Where did you come from?" This little girl stole my pill, don''t meddle in my business. " The expert at the eighth level of Returning Origin Stage also spoke.


    Hong Yang was startled, but he also immediately understood that there was a secret behind it. He turned to look at the girl with a stubborn expression, showing no signs of shrinking back.


    The man at the seventh stage of the Returning Origin Stage also smiled slightly, not putting Hong Yang in his eyes at all. "Doing business is always the best. I''ve never heard of such a thing. "


    Then he turned to the stall owner and said softly, "What do you think? After all, this thing is in your hands. As for who you are going to give it to, that will be up to you. "


    When had the vendor ever met such an expert? After hesitating for a moment, he could only compromise. He looked at the girl and softly said, "How about, a little girl? Let them have this pill. The Luo Family produces a lot of medicinal pellets every year, and it''s not only me. You might be able to find a second one after strolling around the market for a bit. "


    "I''ve been in the market, looking back and forth for three hours. He''d only just found a Origin Condensation Pill here. If we go to other places to look, we won''t be able to find them. "


    Hearing this, the girl also cried out. She had completely ignored Hong Yang''s existence.


    Luo Family? His heart was moved, then Hong Yang secretly laughed at himself for being too sensitive. As one of the two great pill families in Pine Wind County, the Pill Master s naturally produced countless of medicinal pellets. Then, through some channels, he would sell them.


    As for Origin Condensation Pills, he had heard of them. The effect was very simple. It was to gather all of the energy in his body and store it in his dantian. If a person were to cultivate at this time, it would have the effect of strengthening their foundation and nurturing their Yuan Qi.


    However, there was another effect of the Origin Condensation Pill, and that was to save others! If a person''s cultivation went berserk, or they were beaten to the point of losing their vitality. If he used a Origin Condensation Pill, he would be able to recover his Essence. It also prevented the origin energy from rampaging through his limbs and bones, damaging his meridians and body functions.


    However, because everyone was exceptionally careful in their cultivation, the possibility of Qi deviation was very low. If he had been beaten to the point that his vitality was scattered, it should at least have been a battle between Earth Origin Stage experts! At that stage, the effect of the Origin Condensation Pill would be greatly reduced.


    Thus, although this Origin Condensation Pill was simple, the demand for it wasn''t large. There were also very few refiners. Because it was too rare, it could be considered to be one of the more expensive basic pills.


    After hearing all these, Hong Yang shook his head and turned to leave. This was a normal dispute. As long as they didn''t fight, it was their personal business.


    Although the logic of the man with the seventh stage of Returning Origin Stage was a little dogshit. But right now, Hong Yang didn''t have the mind to bother with this matter.


    "So what if you are from the Star Moon Sect! My little brother''s cultivation going berserk is already on the brink of death. [Is it because I have a sect backing me that I can disregard my own life?]


    Just as Hong Yang walked out, the conflict behind him immediately intensified! The twenty-something year old girl actually shouted.


    Hearing these words, Hong Yang''s departing footsteps suddenly stopped! A bit of astonishment burst out from his pitch-black eyes.


    Star Moon Sect? The scream was made by the girl. In other words, those two men, were actually from Star Moon Sect?


    Thinking to this point, Hong Yang almost subconsciously turned around! Zhang Xuan continued looking in the direction of the booth.


    This time, he saw! The two Star Moon Sect practitioners released their vitality. He held the box of pills in one hand and pointed at the girl with a disdainful look in his eyes.


    It was very obvious that the man at the seventh level of the Returning Origin Stage had already threatened him! At this moment, the girl took a few steps back, but did not retreat. Instead, he stood in his original position and released the same kind of fourth rank. However, compared to the two at Star Moon Sect, they were much weaker.


    "My brother''s cultivation went berserk and he''s already on the verge of death!"


    The girl''s words flashed through his mind. The expression in Hong Yang''s eyes, which was looking at the two Star Moon Sect s, slowly darkened as well ¡­

 C27

    It was reasonable to say that the goods were first come first served, and the highest bidder was the first to obtain them. This point, Hong Yang did not deny.


    However, that girl used the Origin Condensation Pill to save him! As for the two men, they would at most be used for the path of cultivation, and might not even have the ability to achieve a breakthrough.


    The difference between the two was not small. Not to mention saving a life, it was better than creating a seven-layered pagoda. As such, it was unjustifiable for her to be in such a state of emotions.


    When he thought of this, he immediately turned around and took a step forward. However, he did not continue. Instead, he stood not too far away and watched coldly.


    "The price of this Origin Condensation Pill is almost double that of yours." The stall owner also agreed to sell it to me, so why are you still so stubborn? "


    The man of the seventh step looked at the girl with a smile, and continued, "Could it be that you have another intention? How about this, you come home with me, I''ll give this Origin Condensation Pill to you, then help you break through your fifth rank, how about it? "


    Although the difference between the first stage of Returning Origin Stage was not big, it was still not that easy to make up for! Against someone at the seventh stage of the Returning Origin Stage, he basically had no chance of winning.


    Therefore, this man did not have to worry about that girl resisting! Instead, he gathered up his courage and reached out his hand to grab the girl.


    Hong Yang shook his head. With this kind of lustful and obscene personality, even if he wanted to break through, it would be difficult for him to reach the desired realm. No matter how skilled one was in Qi Gathering and Body Tempering, it was useless.


    "Ugh!"


    Just as she was about to catch the girl, the girl took a step back. At the same time, the Essence Qi exploded, directly transforming into a sharp light that almost sliced off the finger of the seventh step man.


    Swish!


    He quickly took a step back and looked at the slightly bloody scratch on his finger. Deep in his heart, the man on the seventh step also felt a lingering fear.


    If he had dodged slowly, then this finger would have been endless! It had to be crippled for a long time.


    The man took a step back. In the next second, the strength of the seventh stage of Returning Origin Stage exploded forth with all his might, directly causing the girl to take a step back! A trace of evil appeared on his face.


    Stunned, Hong Yang knew that the man was enraged! Moreover, he had a powerhouse at the eighth level of Returning Origin Stage by his side.


    As for the vendor, he was just a merchant who didn''t have many cultivation. If this continued, then when that seventh step man started fighting, that girl would definitely not be his opponent!


    Hong Yang immediately rushed forward and stood behind the girl. Even if there was no such thing, the other party was a person from Star Moon Sect, and also someone that he should look for.


    "What, you want to come out?" The man at the seventh step laughed: "We are disciples under the Star Moon Sect! It''s fine if you want this Origin Condensation Pill, but pay the same price as when I break through to the Seventh Order. Not much, just 20 primeval stones is enough. "When I go back, I''ll find someone to refine it myself."


    "As long as you can find it, I, Xing Ren, will immediately give this Origin Condensation Pill to this little girl. What do you think?"


    When disciples under the Star Moon Sect enter the sect, they will all be bestowed with a name beginning with the word "Star". It was very obvious that Xing Ren was this man with the seventh level of Returning Origin Stage.


    At this time, Hong Yang finally noticed. On each of their chests, there was a small sign. On it were written the names of the people inside the Star Moon Sect.


    This made it easier to identify them, and secondly, it could be spread outside. They were people of Star Moon Sect! Other than Xing Ren, there was another powerhouse at the eighth level of Returning Origin Stage called Xing Lie.


    After saying that, Hong Yang knew that the other party was just teasing him! 20 primeval stones and one Origin Condensation Pill were completely incomparable.


    As the name implied, primeval stones were stones that contained elemental energy. Normally, when refining pills, an aristocratic family would add a piece to condense the energy within the pill. Generally speaking, a piece of primeval stone contained enough energy to refine dozens of the most basic healing medicine.


    Even for a medicinal pill like the Origin Condensation Pill, one primeval stone or two was enough! Moreover, spirit stones were obtained through special channels by the Alchemy family. Ordinary people wouldn''t be able to see a single piece of it for their entire lives.


    When he said those words, Hong Yang knew that the other party was just teasing him. Without considering the price of the spirit stone, Hong Yang was not a Pill Master Refiner and had no other way to obtain it.


    "What, you can''t take it out?" Xing Ren laughed sinisterly, "Since you can''t take it out, don''t blame me for this. You can only blame yourself for not having the strength anymore? "


    "You!" The girl took another step forward, but was stopped by Hong Yang: "Don''t be impatient, you''re not their match."


    He had just searched through the bag, and discovered that there just so happened to be a Origin Concentrating Pill inside the pellet that the Pill Master''s Luo Family had prepared for him!


    Originally, he planned to give this Origin Condensation Pill to the girl and settle this matter peacefully. After all, he didn''t need this Origin Condensation Pill.


    But now ¡­ But it wasn''t that simple. Hong Yang himself did not have any good impressions towards Star Moon Sect. After all, to be able to teach such a sinister person like Gu Changdong, it was definitely not some honorable and upright clan.


    From the looks of it, it was indeed a nest of snake rats! Not only Gu Changdong, even the two little disciples of the sect were this overbearing.


    "I am a constable, and you are causing trouble here. Do you think that you are unmanned because you look down on others?" Hong Yang took out a signboard from his chest pocket and berated loudly.


    The constable was not only catching thieves and robbers. Public security. Civil provocations were also within the purview of public administration! He had the right to interfere in such matters.


    "Constable?" Xing Ren was stunned for a moment as he scrutinized his for a moment. Then, both Xing Lie and the others started laughing out loud at the same time: "Ningyang City Constable? This is YuanNan, not that small Ningyang City! "


    "Wait ¡­" Xing Lie paused for a moment, then suddenly said: "A while ago, it seemed that a constable of Ningyang City was chased by the mayor out of the city for tens of kilometers." He looked strangely at Hong Yang, and then ridiculed: "You, a constable of Ningyang City, is not within the Ningyang City, but instead ran over here. Were they chased out? "


    His tone was filled with mockery. Xing Ren also understood after he finished speaking.


    "All of you know about this?" Hong Yang clenched his fists and said coldly.


    In the depths of his heart, he could vaguely guess what was going on! This caused all the blood in his body to boil.


    The tragic case of Ningyang City and the incident with Gu Changdong, Suo Qingqiu had already ordered for the sealing of the news! On the way, they had asked some families and merchants, but none of them knew anything about it.


    They were people of the Star Moon Sect, and they already knew of this matter. There could only be one answer.


    Gu Changdong had already come to the Yuannan City before! Furthermore, he must have some contact with the people from the Star Moon Sect here!

 C28

    Previously, he had already guessed that Gu Changdong and Leng Feng would most likely escape here! Now it seemed that Hong Yang was right.


    Gu Changdong had already come here before, and had come into contact with people from the Star Moon Sect before! Now, there were some results to his tracks.


    When Yuannan City approaches Star-Moon Mountain, naturally, they are greatly affected by the Star Moon Sect. Then, for his own safety, it was extremely possible that Gu Changdong would still be hiding here.


    Take a deep breath... The best way now was to ask the people from Star Moon Sect. If they had seen Gu Changdong before, they would have been able to obtain his tracks immediately.


    People from the Star Moon Sect ¡­ For example, the two in front of him.


    Hong Yang looked behind him. The market was extremely large, occupying almost the entire east side of the city. The ten Earth Origin Stage experts were still nowhere to be seen.


    If he had to rely solely on himself, he didn''t have much confidence in being able to keep these two people.


    "I want you two to go to one place. I wonder if it''ll work? " Hong Yang pondered a little in his heart and he had some plans, "As for this Origin Condensation Pellet, it will be one of them. As long as you two agree to come with me, I won''t argue any further. How about it? "


    "No, I still need to rely on this Origin Condensation Pill to save ¡­" Hearing Hong Yang''s words, the girl behind his suddenly shouted nervously. However, she only shouted half a sentence before she stopped.


    Hong Yang immediately grabbed the girl''s hand, and before she could react, he placed a pill inside.


    Essence Condensation Pill!


    When the girl saw it, she exclaimed in a low voice. After seeing Hong Yang''s situation, he too shut his mouth and did not say a word, but stood at the side, quietly watching.


    With this Origin Condensation Pill in her hand, she would be able to save her little brother! That meant the pill in Xing Ren''s hand was not that important.


    Only, from her point of view, Hong Yang had not stopped there. It wasn''t good for her to just leave. He could only watch from the side.


    "Where to?" Xing Ren frowned, "This Origin Condensation Pill is already in my possession. Why should I listen to you? "


    "Is that so?" Hong Yang smiled, he was already prepared in his heart! He suddenly took a step forward and snatched the pill box from his hands.


    "How much is this pill? I''ll buy it." Hong Yang continued to smile faintly: "Right now, this pill is in my hands. If you want it, then take it away from my hands."


    Although he was only at the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage! But with the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder and the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign, as well as Elder Xiaoyao''s experience, even if they couldn''t beat him, they wouldn''t be able to hold on if they wanted to escape.


    His goal was to stall for time! The ten Earth Origin Stage experts were currently somewhere in the market. If they heard the sounds of battle, they would definitely rush over immediately.


    Even if only one came! Xing Ren and Xing Lie couldn''t leave them alone.


    Seeing Hong Yang''s actions, the eyes of Xing Lie, who was previously laughing, suddenly turned cold: "Constable Hong, you have to think about the consequences for your actions."


    He opened his mouth and a "constable Hong" came out. This also made Hong Yang even more convinced that Gu Changdong had already been here before.


    "Let''s do it like this. Didn''t you say that the highest bidder would win? How much did you offer? I think... I will be higher than you. "


    Hong Yang saw that the other party was already enraged. He smiled faintly and took out a small cloth bag. At the same time, his heart had risen to a state of extreme caution.


    He knew that his opponent could make a move at any time! Therefore, he had to be on his guard right now.


    That small cloth bag fell onto the table of the stall! Instantly, a large pile of round things rolled out.


    "This is ¡­"


    On the table, a Hemostasis Pellet, Return to the Distant, Muscle Boosting Pellet ¡­ There was a huge pile of them, and they were all healing pills!


    Hong Yang didn''t feel bad at all when he threw it out. These things did not belong to him in the first place, but were given to him by the Pill Master''s Luo Family. Compared to the pills given by the Pill Master, this packet of pills was nothing at all.


    Of course, all of these things added together already far exceeded the value of a single Origin Condensation Pill!


    Before Xing Lie could reply, Xing Ren''s expression was already unsettled. He had a faint bad feeling, he didn''t know what Hong Yang was planning to do!


    "You mean... As long as we go with you, I don''t need this Origin Condensation Pill anymore. You''re giving us these things? "


    After exhaling a deep breath of air, Xing Lie probed.


    After all, there were so many medicinal pills. Although they were the most basic healing drugs, their prices were still quite expensive! This caused them to be slightly tempted.


    "Right." Hong Yang maintained his cold demeanor. He knew, with the attitude of his Star Moon Sect, it was absolutely impossible for it to be this simple!


    "Where to?" Xing Lie waved his hand, making Xing Ren, who wanted to say something, stop talking.


    "City Lord''s Mansion!" Hong Yang took a small step forward, and a slight imposing manner burst forth from his body: "I have something to ask you two. Now... "Please!"


    There was no room for discussion. After receiving the inheritance of the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign. His attitude changed slightly as well.


    "With only the Returning Origin Stage of the seventh step, aren''t you a little too arrogant?" Xing Lie slightly narrowed his eyes, but he did not immediately move: "Over here, we have one at the eighth and one at the seventh level of Returning Origin Stage! The little girl behind you won''t be able to help at all. "


    He did not accept Hong Yang''s previous words. His attitude was very clear, and he had already rejected the possibility of going to the City Lord''s Mansion! Although the master of the Yuannan City had always kept the actions of the Star Moon Sect disciples to himself, he had always turned a blind eye. However, they were only disciples of the first tier ¡­ He didn''t have much right to speak.


    In other words, even if City Lord''s Mansion wanted to thoroughly investigate their previous affairs and punish them, Star Moon Sect would not do much! And looking at Hong Yang, it was obvious that he was fully prepared.


    This time, he felt guilty.


    "So, you guys don''t want this Origin Condensation Pill anymore?" Seeing Xing Lie''s reaction, Hong Yang knew that there was hope and continued, "That''s good. "Since you think that you do not have the qualifications, then pretend like nothing happened ¡­"


    With that, he turned and left. However, his footsteps were very slow. It was obvious that he was still waiting for something.


    At the same time, his vigilance had been raised to the limit! Almost every step, every breath, was on guard against any movement behind him.


    Finally ¡­ However, he still walked more than ten meters. Behind him, a gust of wind abruptly exploded out!


    "Since you say that we are not qualified. Then let''s see if we have the qualifications to leave this Origin Condensation Pill behind! "


    It was Xing Ren! He finally could not hold it in anymore. Hong Yang''s continuous humiliation, was directly ¡­ He wanted to snatch it!

 C29

    Behind him ¡­ Xing Ren finally couldn''t hold it in. He had made his move!


    In terms of Star Moon Sect, he was mediocre and not tyrannical at all! It was just that the skill was hard to guard against.


    It was just that, when Hong Yang faced against Xing Ren, he was already prepared for it! At the moment when Xing Ren made his move, his figure also abruptly dodged to the side!


    "Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, first move, Thunderclap!"


    As the faint sound of thunder could be heard, Hong Yang''s figure had actually already dodged to the side at an extremely fast speed! All that was left was an afterimage.


    Xing Ren''s palm struck empty air as his center of gravity suddenly became unstable! And at this time, Hong Yang suddenly appeared behind him.


    The Essence Qi in his hand condensed before ferociously pushing forward! Before Xing Ren could react, a palm solidly landed on his back.


    The first move of the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, Wind Raises Thunder. The biggest feature was speed! It was as fast as lightning.


    After being improved on by Hong Yang, it had become even more powerful! Not only could its speed increase, its power could also increase with its speed!


    The second style of the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, rolling thunder and lightning, was even more powerful in terms of aura! He could faintly feel the power of thunder and lightning. When fighting against others, they would feel an enormous pressure, an extremely fast speed, and the might of it would increase even further. It was enough to make people of the same level feel immense pressure!


    The third move of the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, Thunder Tremor, was an extremely pure and powerful move! The power of thunder and lightning burst forth. In that moment of immense power, it was even enough to severely injure an opponent a level above him!


    Furthermore, all of these skills were modified by Hong Yang, so they were comparable to a second grade cultivation technique! Its power was already incomparable. At the very least, it was more than enough to deal with this Xingren.


    "Bam!"


    This palm strike landed solidly on Xing Ren''s back! Hong Yang did not use the power of lightning, but this punch that was filled with vitality was already enough.


    On Xing Ren''s back, his clothes ripped open as a pitch-black handprint suddenly appeared. He suddenly threw himself forward a few steps, and only then did he stabilize his body.


    When Hong Yang looked carefully again, he realized that Xing Ren''s face was already filled with intense pain! It was obvious that the palm strike earlier had caused him no small amount of harm.


    The battle between the two had only been a single exchange! Xing Ren had suffered a huge loss. The eyes he used to look at Hong Yang were also about to spew fire.


    "You!" When Xing Lie saw that Xing Ren was injured, he immediately stepped forward and said excitedly, "Right now, put down the Origin Condensation Pellet and give us that bag of healing medicine. Just pretend like nothing happened. "


    "Otherwise, when I return and report your Star Moon Sect, I will slaughter your entire family!" After saying his last sentence, the aura around Xing Lie''s body also began to erupt.


    Hong Yang''s face was expressionless, but at the bottom of his heart, he could not help but laugh. The bigger the commotion, the better. At that time, he could get those Earth Origin Stage Warriors to rush over earlier!


    Although he wasn''t confident in being able to fight the two of them! However, with the speed of the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, he could still deal with it for a long time.


    He did not have the thought of using the rolling wind and rolling thunder to shake the sky; he only needed to rely on the speed of the wind and thunder! After all, the power of the last two had been perfected by Hong Yang and had become extremely terrifying! Maybe Xing Lie could endure it, but Xing Ren could not.


    "Family? My entire family is in the northern part of the Hong Castle, if you have the ability, go and slaughter them? " With raised eyebrows, Hong Yang continued to ridicule him.


    Hong Yang being the son of the Third Master of the Northern Hong Castle was not a secret in the Ningyang City itself! Furthermore, the power and strength of the Hong Castle was even higher than the Luo Family by more than a level!


    This kind of enormous being was not something that a Star Moon Sect could touch. For a power like the Star Moon Sect, they only needed to move two fingers to completely annihilate the opponent!


    "Ugh!" Xing Lie choked and his face revealed a look of anger! He looked at Hong Yang, releasing his vitality. Clearly, he was already prepared to take action.


    "Star Codex, Falling Star Style!" Hong Yang had not recovered from his shock. Turning around, Xing Lie had already pulled out a big bow, the arrow tip aimed straight at him!


    "You''re crazy!" This large bow was somewhat similar to those large bows made from Black Armoured Army. And those large bows, could easily break through the defense of the seventh stage of the Returning Origin Stage!


    On the surface of this large bow, there were some strange engravings. Although it did not look strong, if Xing Lie were to use it now, it was likely that he would need to dodge the tip of the sword! However, the reason why Hong Yang roared was not because of this.


    This was downtown! Once Hong Yang dodged, the arrow would shoot into the crowd and cause severe casualties!


    But in fact, it was simply impossible for Hong Yang to always stay in place and allow others to hit him! With the speed of the wind and thunder, it would be easy to dodge this arrow.


    "Stop!"


    But it was too late, Hong Yang had just shouted out those words! The big arrow in Xing Lie''s hand had already been shot? Destination... Directly aiming between Hong Yang''s eyebrows!


    His speed had already reached its limit! However, he simply didn''t dare to dodge! He could only watch as the arrow got closer and closer.


    He gritted his teeth and made a decision! A faint lightning aura began to gather in his hands as well.


    Hong Yang was also at the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage! However, even after seeing this huge bow, he still didn''t dare to let his guard down. In his shock, Hong Yang''s figure finally moved.


    Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, second style ¨C Thunderstorm Roar!


    Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, the third movement: Thunder Tremor!


    He didn''t have a weapon and these two moves were done with his bare hands in the blink of an eye. After two consecutive blows, much of the Essence on the arrow had been dispersed.


    After continuously releasing these two moves, a few signs of exhaustion surfaced on Hong Yang''s face. With the sudden increase in power, the revised Three Styles of Wind and Thunder consumed a lot of Essence.


    But at this time, he could not stop! He gritted his teeth and once again, a surge of Essence Qi burst out from his hand, covering his entire palm.


    Following that, Hong Yang extended his hand out, grabbing the arrow that was about to shoot.


    Boom!


    A muffled explosion sounded out, Hong Yang groaned. However, his palm steadily grasped the arrow!


    At this moment, there were already many people spectating from the sidelines. Upon seeing this scene, some people had already exclaimed in a low voice.


    Including Xing Lie and Xing Ren, their faces were filled with disbelief.


    That big bow, using the Star Moon Sect secret technique, the Star Moon Scripture''s technique, was enough to kill a Returning Origin Stage Ranker in one move! Even an expert of Peak of Returning Origin Stage had to temporarily avoid such an attack.


    They would never even dream about it! Hong Yang... He was actually able to receive it with his bare hands!

 C30

    Hong Yang used his bare hands to receive it, and then the arrow turned into powder as if it had turned into carbon!


    After the fierce collision of origin energy, the arrow was only an ordinary arrow; it hadn''t been strengthened at all! In this way, he had long since been weakened by the corrosion of the origin energy.


    However, from an outsider''s point of view ¡­ This was what Hong Yang had done after blocking the arrow''s charge for two consecutive moves, and then used his bare hands to grab it, and then crushed it! This caused many of the spectators to be stunned.


    After releasing two moves, Hong Yang''s face became pale white. Even if he had not strengthened his Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, it would still be a little strenuous for him to execute it in one breath.


    Fortunately, Elder Xiaoyao had special combat experience, which saved him a lot of effort! Now that he was barely able to hold on to it, it wasn''t that difficult.


    "Do you want to continue?" With a smile on his face, Hong Yang ridiculed: "Underneath the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage, my full strength attack is actually this weak? it seems that the Star Moon Sect is indeed just an ordinary sect. "


    That one strike, was also one that Xing Lie struck with all his strength! He had originally thought that Hong Yang was still stuck at the seventh stage of the Returning Origin Stage, so this move was enough to force him to retreat.


    Who would have thought that Hong Yang would directly dissolve it! This also messed up all his plans, and the expression in his eyes when he looked at Hong Yang, had also changed a lot.


    "Follow me to City Lord''s Mansion." Hong Yang saw that the two of them did not reply, and continued to speak in a low voice: "After all, I do not want to provoke Star Moon Sect, so the previous conditions are still valid."


    At this moment, Xing Lie''s face had already become extremely ugly! The elemental energy within his body was expended. It was impossible for him to use it again, much like the technique he had used before.


    "Absolutely impossible." He shook his head, and could only find an excuse to escape: "Before nightfall, we must go up the mountain and return to the Star Moon Sect! If we were to head to the City Lord''s Mansion s, it would probably take up too much time. "


    "It is too late for that. "It will take at least four hours to get out of the city and up the mountain." Hong Yang calculated in his heart, and laughed coldly: "Wait until nineties? Isn''t that a bit too late... Since it''s already too late, there''s no harm in delaying a little. "


    That was only an excuse made up by Xing Lie. After being exposed by Hong Yang, he looked somewhat embarrassed. He thought for a moment and wanted to argue. His eyes suddenly looked towards a certain direction.


    "Xingren!"


    Hong Yang also subconsciously looked towards that direction, and when he looked, his expression suddenly turned into one of rage!


    At this moment, Xing Ren was threatening that girl! A long sword was pulled out and held against her neck.


    That girl only has Returning Origin Stage! Although he was considered an expert amongst ordinary people, facing Xing Ren, who was at the seventh stage of the Returning Origin Stage, he did not stand the slightest chance.


    "Let her go!" Hong Yang immediately replied, her voice cold, and even carried a little killing intent: "This matter of going to the City Lord''s Mansion, was my decision, it has nothing to do with him!"


    "So what?" Xing Ren said viciously: "I don''t need the Origin Condensation Pill, but I definitely won''t go to this City Lord''s Mansion!"


    "Whether or not City Lord''s Mansion is up to you, as I said before, you have no choice but to decide!" Hong Yang frowned, and continued speaking coldly.


    Behind him, Xing Lie also did not expect this either. Xingren would actually do this!


    In the martial way, regardless of what the situation was, it was the worst to threaten the hostages! Xing Ren''s actions not only made him fall into the ranks of lowly people, but also made him lose all face for his Star Moon Sect.


    However ¡­ Now that things had come to this point, there was no room for redemption! Xing Lie''s heart skipped a beat and his body suddenly moved as well.


    He actually wanted to take this opportunity to hurt Hong Yang! After all, all of Hong Yang''s attention was on that girl.


    His body moved! Xing Lie abruptly erupted with strength, and instantly flashed behind Hong Yang! Then, a punch was suddenly thrown out!


    It was only after this punch was thrown that he realized something was wrong! Because at this moment, the Hong Yang in front of his eyes suddenly dimmed and disappeared.


    His pupils abruptly constricted. Only now did he realize. Hong Yang relied on the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder. That speed had already far surpassed the eighth level of Returning Origin Stage.


    This speed, was even comparable to the Peak of Returning Origin Stage!


    Almost subconsciously, he threw out a backhand attack! At the same time, Xing Lie turned around and retreated quickly.


    "Bam!"


    His guess was right, Hong Yang had circled behind him. Their palms met, and they both let out muffled groans as they retreated a few steps.


    "Eight level of Returning Origin Stage?" Subconsciously, Xing Lie cried out in astonishment.


    Hong Yang only broke through to the eighth level of Pine Wind County! When he was under Gu Changdong''s command, he had always been at the seventh stage, and had even slightly retreated. Therefore, the news that Gu Changdong brought to the Star Moon Sect crowd was also at the seventh step.


    Xing Lie originally thought that Hong Yang was only at the seventh stage. However, in that one strike, the two of them were unexpectedly unable to determine who would emerge victorious!


    It was a clash of pure Yuan Qi without using any martial arts technique! And only after Xing Lie sensed that the other party''s strength was completely equal to his, did he finally understand ¡­ Hong Yang had long since entered the eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage.


    It was no wonder that Xing Ren was no match for him just now. It was also no wonder that he could withstand an all-out attack from him. So it turned out that Gu Changdong''s news was wrong.


    "Your reaction is quite fast." Hong Yang also felt that his palm was slightly numb. "Eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage, you do not live up to your reputation."


    He had just fought with Xing Lie for real once, and felt that enormous power! This was a huge difference from before he advanced.


    The mere difference of a single step resulted in such a terrifying result. Then what about the ninth level of Returning Origin Stage, and what about Peak of Returning Origin Stage? Even ¡­ And the Earth Origin Stage?


    At this time, he finally understood how terrifying Earth Origin Stage Warriors were!


    Xing Ren was also stunned as he watched this scene. When he found out that Hong Yang was already at the eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage, he was incomparably shocked!


    As he said this, the fierceness in his eyes grew even stronger. How about the seventh level of Returning Origin Stage? How about speed? No matter what, he could not be faster than the speed at which he wiped his sword!


    "Do you think that the life of this girl is inferior to our City Lord''s Mansion?" Xing Ren''s face was filled with anger as he stared at Hong Yang.


    "Xingren, you can''t!" When Xing Lie saw Xing Ren, he actually slightly exerted strength in his hands! He immediately shouted loudly.


    Even though the people from their Star Moon Sect were tyrannical in this place, they had never dared to kill anyone. Because if he killed someone, the nature of the killing would be completely different.


    Hong Yang would naturally not turn a blind eye like he did with City Lord''s Mansion. What they had done would be discovered, and they would be imprisoned for several years. And a few years of time was enough for them to miss the best time to cultivate!


    "Of course not." At this time, Hong Yang''s expression suddenly relaxed: "But, I want to ¡­ You won''t be able to leave either. "


    Because Hong Yang could feel it at this time. There was an extremely tyrannical aura rushing towards them from a short distance away!

 C31

    Hong Yang could feel an extremely strong aura rushing towards him. And it felt ¡­ It won''t be that simple.


    No matter what, as long as a Earth Origin Stage Ranker arrived, that would be enough. Even if it was his Earth Origin Stage, it was absolutely not something that Xing Ren and Xing Lie could compare to!


    Very quickly, that person''s figure finally appeared in Hong Yang''s line of sight.


    Xiao Wucheng!


    "What''s going on?" When Xiao Wucheng arrived and saw this scene, he could roughly guess what happened. He looked at Xing Ren and said coldly, "Taking hostages? "Who are you?"


    Xing Lie looked at Xiao Wucheng. Although the latter didn''t release its aura now. However, the invisible pressure from an expert would not change!


    Hong Yang''s heart, had finally calmed down. With Xiao Wucheng''s Earth Origin Stage, even if the other party had Peak of Returning Origin Stage, they would not be able to cause any trouble.


    Because they were on completely different levels! To Xiao Wucheng, people with a cultivation at the seventh level of Returning Origin Stage could be killed instantly.


    Hong Yang lowered his head to think about it, and then directly explained the entire situation.


    "People from the Star Moon Sect?" After hearing it, Xiao Wucheng''s expression also turned cold. "And Gu Changdong ¡­ From the same sect? "


    Xing Lie hesitated, he wanted to say something, but stopped himself. Because he had no way of refuting ¡­ Gu Changdong was indeed a member of their sect.


    This Hong Yang in front of him, had already entered the eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage! His strength had also increased by a lot as well. In just a short few days, there were actually so many differences and discrepancies in the information he and Gu Changdong had provided.


    "Come with me to the City Lord''s Mansion, I won''t make things difficult for you guys." Xiao Wucheng still tightly furrowed his brows, and said with a heavy voice. "Also, let go of that girl."


    "No, don''t even think about it ¡­" Hearing this, Xing Ren immediately said excitedly. However, he only spoke half the sentence before stopping.


    The reason is simple... At this moment, his pupils were wide open and filled with astonishment. There wasn''t even the slightest bit of pain!


    Xiao Wucheng, had actually killed him in that instant! His entire movement was extremely fast, and no one had noticed how he had attacked.


    Only Hong Yang saw it clearly, because just now, he had also been staring at Xiao Wucheng. When she saw him, he immediately took out a needle from his fingertip. The elemental energy was stimulated and instantly blasted towards Xing Ren!


    Earth Origin Stage, against someone at the seventh stage of the Returning Origin Stage, there was almost no suspense ¡ª Instant Death!


    Following which, Xing Ren fell to the ground. The girl also quickly broke free. Looking at the corpse on the ground, his face was filled with panic.


    It was not only him, but everyone else, including Xing Lie! The expression on his face was extremely wonderful.


    "You!" Xing Lie was startled, and immediately became furious. His entire person''s aura was instantly released as the large bow instantly appeared, and pulled on the strings as he said, "Whoever kills my Star Moon Sect, no matter who, must have their entire family killed!"


    His words were filled with rage! However, Hong Yang shook his head at Xiao Wucheng, signalling him not to kill him. After all, if someone from the Star Moon Sect were to capture and interrogate someone, they might be able to find traces of Gu Changdong.


    Xiao Wucheng understood and took a step forward with a disdainful look, "It''s better if your sect master were to say that to me! Did Xinghai and Xinglin break through their Earth Origin Stage? "


    After he finished speaking, Xing Lie''s expression suddenly changed!


    Xing Hai and Xing Lin were both elders of their Star Moon Sect, and their strengths were all in Earth Origin Stage.


    This kind of strength, aside from the two sect masters, was already the strongest! Xing Lie had only heard of such people, and had never seen one before.


    But now, hearing Xiao Wucheng''s tone, it seemed that he did not place these two in his eyes at all! Combined with the fact that he had just killed Xing Ren, the expression on Xing Lie''s face at this moment was extremely ugly.


    At this time, everyone else had arrived as well. Including Li Changfeng and Xiao Wucheng, a total of six Earth Origin Stage Warriors had arrived!


    It was likely that Xing Lie would never see so many people with Earth Origin Stage in his entire life. He could feel a sense of terror from each of these people. Xing Lie was already close to despair.


    "I''m not interested in your dirty past." Hong Yang looked at him, and said seriously: "We just want to know, everything about Gu Changdong!"


    Xing Lie let out a long sigh, and slowly nodded. Now that there were so many Earth Origin Stage experts here, even if he did not agree, he would not make the decision!


    "Put Xing Ren''s corpse away. Wait until tomorrow, and send it over to the Star Moon Sect people. " Sighing, Hong Yang waved his hand.


    He did not wish to see such a scene! When he was in the Ningyang City, he had the nickname "benevolent capture". He didn''t want to get involved in things like killing people.


    But earlier, Xiao Wucheng did not hesitate to kill Xing Ren! He did not stop them, and he knew that ¡­ In the eyes of experts with Earth Origin Stage and fifth rank. Those people with Returning Origin Stage were like ants.


    Although Suo Qingqiu gave him the authority to command these ten Rankers! However, he knew full well that in this world of martial dao, this was impossible.


    The only ones capable of commanding the eight Earth Origin Stage s were Xiao Wucheng and Li Changfeng. At the very most, he was only friends with these two.


    What''s more, they had the order of the Black Armored Army in their hands! Even if he killed the Star Moon Sect Elder, Suo Qingqiu would be the one to handle it.


    "Let''s head to the City Lord''s Mansion first. "It is about time ¡­" Looking at the color of the sky, he realized that the date of the declaration was almost over. Therefore, the appointed time to meet Yan Meng was almost here.


    Xing Lie glanced at Xing Ren''s corpse, unable to bear the sight of it and turned his head away. He and Xing Ren could be considered to be fellow disciples of the same sect. Now that they saw his corpse, they naturally felt some sadness.


    At that time, if he could return to the Star Moon Sect. Those people definitely would not dare to find trouble with County Lord''s Mansion! At most, they would just act a little more arrogantly at this Yuannan City. If one were to speak of disturbing the County Lord''s Mansion, then it would be impossible even if they had ten thousand guts.


    Thus, when the time came, he would definitely blame it all on himself! Although it was not enough to kill him, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape if he crippled the cultivation.


    Since that was the case, there was no need for him to return ¡­


    After a moment of absent-mindedness, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. After a while, he looked at Hong Yang and hesitantly said, "There is a request ¡­ I wonder if I can say it? "


    Hong Yang was startled for a moment, then nodded: "Speak."


    "The girl." Puckering his lips, he said: "Even though she has Returning Origin Stage s, she is still relatively unfamiliar with them; she has obviously just advanced. If you do not have the right person to guide and guide the Origin Condensation Pill, it is possible that it will fail to a certain extent. "


    After hearing those words, Hong Yang''s face was expressionless. Only after staying silent for a full minute, he looked at Li Changfeng and said, "If possible, ask someone to help that girl. After all, you are all Earth Origin Stage experts.


    Li Changfeng was also expressionless as he mechanically replied, "Yes."

 C32

    It was already late in the night, and by the time Hong Yang and the others had rushed to the City Lord''s Mansion, the time to speak had already passed.


    Yan Meng was already waiting at the City Lord''s Mansion entrance! When he saw that Hong Yang and the others had arrived and were even pulling someone along with them ¡­ He couldn''t help but be surprised.


    Although the sky had already darkened. However, it was not too late. In fact, the time was just right.


    When Yan Meng saw them coming, he immediately arranged for the mayor to receive them! Very quickly, everyone was also announced to have entered ¡­


    The master of the city was called Chen Tianzhi, he was already over fifty years old, and was only at the ninth stage of the Returning Origin Stage. According to Yan Meng, he had been stuck in this realm for nearly 10 years! However, because he was too old, he had never been able to break through that barrier.


    However, it was because he had done meritorious deeds in the past with his Pine Wind County. Furthermore, he specializes in the management of cities, so as a city lord of Yuannan City, he is rather stable. Those few Peak of Returning Origin Stage experts, or even Earth Origin Stage experts! After interacting with him for a period of time, they were convinced from the bottom of their hearts.


    "For this matter, I received a notification from Pine Wind County a few days ago." After waiting for Hong Yang to explain the reason for his visit, Chen Tianqi said: "However, the entire city''s constable, Black Armoured Army, and even after searching for a day, there are still no results. This matter had even interfered with the normal work of the city guards and the rest of the city people. "I just gave the order in the morning. Starting tomorrow, the search will be cancelled."


    Absolutely not." Hong Yang took a step forward, "This matter is of great importance, we would like to invite the citizens of the city to put in a few more days of hard work. And I already have a lot of proof that Gu Changdong came here a few days ago at the very least!


    "What evidence?" Chen Tianqi was also immediately puzzled as he said, "I searched this place for a few days. In every inn and tavern in the city, I checked every day." "But there''s never been even the slightest bit of evidence."


    "The evidence is here." Hong Yang smiled and said.


    "Oh?" Chen Tianqi was stunned for a moment, then he searched through the crowd. Finally, it landed on Xing Lie''s body.


    Amongst the eleven people Hong Yang had brought with him, only this cultivation was the lowest, being only at the eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage! Thus, Chen Tianqi''s gaze was locked onto him.


    "Yes. A few days ago, two people escaped into the Star Moon Sect. Before this, he came into contact with us disciples who are in the Star Moon Sect. " Xing Lie thought about it, gritted his teeth, and also spoke out. "They also escaped from the Ningyang City! "He merely paused for half a day before he left."


    "On the second day after that, news came from the Star Moon Sect. is it about the Ningyang City ¡­ I believe that all the disciples of Star Moon Sect should know about it. "


    After hearing all these, Hong Yang''s eyes almost spouted fire!


    Back then, Suo Qingqiu had ordered to seal off this news. Originally, he thought that this news would not spread through the Ningyang City yet! However, the situation now was that everyone in the Star Moon Sect knew about it.


    If the Star Moon Sect knew, then the news must have already spread within the Ningyang City by now. If this continued, Suo Qingqiu would very quickly order to seal the news, turning the information into a piece of white paper.


    However, now that he understood this, the gaze he shot towards Chen Tianqi turned ice-cold. The mayor actually did not know about such a huge matter. It seemed that the rumors about Chen Tianqi being a clean and honest man and having a good rule over the city were wrong.


    "Have you found out where Gu Changdong went from all of that information?" Snorting coldly, Chen Tianqi said: "I have already sent people to investigate your actions and actions. If you are in reality, then you might be able to escape a few more years of imprisonment. "


    "I don''t know about that." Xing Lie lowered his head, hesitated for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "But I think that the Yuannan City disciple is also responsible, Xing Shu. He should know... Back then when those two came to the Star Moon Sect, they were looking for him! "


    Xing Shu, Earth Origin Stage. He could be considered the only Star Moon Sect disciple left in Yuannan!


    Xing Lie now knew that he definitely could not return to the Star Moon Sect! His current choice was to speak the truth in order to prevent himself from working too hard.


    Anyways, with his strength at the eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage, he could go anywhere he wanted! At that time, he would leave the Yuannan City and find a remote place to land.


    "Xing Shu huh ¡­" Hong Yang muttered: "There isn''t anything special about the Earth Origin Stage experts. Since it''s possible, we might as well go and meet with him. "


    Right now, he was sure that Gu Changdong had come to this city before. Since he had come into contact with someone from the Star Moon Sect before, he only needed to ask from the person from the Star Moon Sect s mouth.


    even if it''s someone from the Earth Origin Stage, you can just ignore them! After all, they had a total of ten fourth rank experts. In addition, he could use the city''s constables and Black Armoured Army at will. This lineup, even if another twenty Earth Origin Stage s were to come, it would be useless.


    Since he had already decided on the target. Since that was the case, there was no need to continue discussing this meeting. After deciding, they were directly arranged to rest at the City Lord''s Mansion.


    After dinner. Although the City Lord''s Mansion was not very big, it was still possible to stay with ten people. After dinner, Li Changfeng, Xiao Wucheng and Hong Yang found another room.


    Although the sky had already darkened, it was still too early. What they wanted to do next was to call out the entire city''s Black Armoured Army and search for Xing Shu with all their might.


    However, they were also a little worried! After all, their Black Armoured Army were all only at the first level of Returning Origin Stage. Xing Shu, on the other hand, had an entire Earth Origin Stage!


    If the two met, it would be akin to hitting a rock with an egg. Now, Hong Yang finally understood why Suo Qingqiu had so generously given him ten Earth Origin Stage experts. It turned out that he had no choice but to agree under the pressure of the Pill Master''s Luo Family.


    "Hong Yang, tell me, do you think that Gu Changdong has escaped to the top of Star Moon Mountain?" Inside the City Lord''s Mansion room, Li Changfeng said worriedly: "In a few days time, you can already produce a lot of unforeseen events! And if they fled to the top of Star Moon Mountain. For him, it''s the best protection. "


    "No. Although Gu Changdong really wanted it, his Star Moon Sect wouldn''t do it. " Hong Yang denied: "Star Moon Sect will definitely receive the news of him going all out to capture these two people! If we leave Gu Changdong inside the Star Moon Sect, it will bring about a calamity to the very end to the Star Moon Sect! "


    "Indeed. If he really hid Gu Changdong within the Star Moon Sect, then forget about us, Pill Master would be the first to not let them off! With the strength of Luo Family, annihilating a single Star Moon Sect is still as easy as flipping my hand. "


    Hong Yang took a deep breath and stood up, "There''s no point in discussing this right now. Everything could only be discussed after finding Xing Shu ¡­ Xing Shu has indeed come into contact with Gu Changdong before. "

 C33

    That night, after Hong Yang displayed his Black Army Command Plate, he mobilized nearly ten thousand of his Black Armoured Army and wantonly hunted around the city.


    The Star Moon Sect sect wasn''t big, but it was still more than a thousand. Within the Yuannan City, there were at least a hundred Star Moon Sect disciples.


    " It will be a little hard to deal with the people around Star Moon Mountain. " When Xiao Wucheng heard this news, he immediately frowned: "Star Moon Mountain is where the Star Moon Sect resides! It would be hard not to attract attention if we were to search everywhere we go down the mountain. "


    " That may not be so. " Hong Yang shook his head: "There is no need to use Black Armoured Army, we are only searching for one person, why must we use the entire city''s defense force?"


    " "That''s ¡­" Li Changfeng was immediately confused: "So you''re saying, just the ten of us can open up the Spiritual Sense and search?"


    " This was also not acceptable. Ten Earth Origin Stage experts are no less of a threat to us than ten thousand Black Armoured Army. " Xiao Wucheng shook his head: "What''s more, this kind of method is not as efficient as searching with ten thousand Black Armoured Army."


    " If ten thousand Black Armoured Army are to enter, then Black Armoured Army will be the defense of the city, and it will inevitably involve Yuannan City. " Hong Yang explained: "But ten Earth Origin Stage experts, are completely different. Don''t mention that we are only searching for Xing Shu, even if the entire Star Moon Sect were to come here, there would still be people blocking us in the front. "


    " Yes. Although on the surface, it was Suo Qingqiu who told us to come investigate. But we are outsiders. Pill Master''s Luo Family would not completely hand over such a thing to an outsider. "


    " In other words, we can be at ease now. " Li Changfeng nodded his head. In this way, with the Pill Master''s Luo Family supporting him, the question Hong Yang asked for them to go in and search was easily solved.


    " "Tonight." Hong Yang replied, "There''s no time to lose. Moreover, he definitely had to find a place to rest in the middle of the night. "This way, we will have a higher probability of finding him."

 C34

    " I''ll go with you. " Gritting his teeth, Hong Yang made his decision. The reason he followed Xiao Wucheng, was naturally because of the latter''s personality.


    " That''s it. " Li Changfeng gave Hong Yang a meaningful glance, and then left with his team: "If you meet Xing Shu, bring him back to the City Lord''s Mansion at the first possible moment!"


    " It can be scattered a little, but you must not leave the range of each other''s Spiritual Sense. "


    " There''s no point in searching around here. " Pursing his lips, a Earth Origin Stage expert said: "Let''s go search at someone''s camp. At such a late time, it is impossible for Xing Shu to still be hunting fierce beasts outside, he should be finding a place to temporarily stay. "


    " "You''re right." Hong Yang also suddenly thought of something and nodded: "Even if he didn''t return to the Star Moon Sect to stay, he should still have had a tent set up. The main thing is to find these places. "


    " Is there anyone up there? "


    " "Who is it?" Sensing that an aura had arrived, someone suddenly shouted from where the flames were spreading! His voice was filled with energy.


    " We are from the Pine Wind County! Upon the princess'' orders, they have come to investigate. "


    " So they were actually people from the Pine Wind County. I wonder why you have come to my Starmoon Mountain to investigate? "


    " The task was urgent, but not temporary. We''re investigating a person. " Hong Yang frowned, and asked: "Have you seen it before?"


    " That''s right, he is one of the people from the Star Moon Sect. " Hong Yang said coldly, "Xing Shu, we are looking for him. There was an urgent matter that she wanted to invite him to City Lord''s Mansion. I wonder if you''ve seen it before? "


    " Xing Shu? " Hearing that, the Star Moon Sect disciple asked in doubt: "That''s the Xing Shu with the Earth Origin Stage? What happened to him? "


    " Xing Shu, he should... Rest right behind us. " After hesitating for a moment, he also said directly: "He was sent down the mountain one month ago to host all the activities of the Yuannan City. "I''ve just reached the mountain and will be changing people tomorrow."

 C35

    " Who dares to spy on my Star Moon Sect territory! "


    " "Pfft."


    " Xing Shu! I am the princess of Pine Wind County, one of the main forces of the city''s defense forces! I have some things that I need to ask you. "


    " Why would people from the County Lord''s Mansion come here? " He was so shocked that he could only retract his breath and said in a low voice, "I offended you just now." May I know what is the matter that Senior wishes to ask about? "


    " When you get to the City Lord''s Mansion, you will naturally find out. "


    " Even if I have to die, I have to die to understand this, no? " Laughing softly, Xing Shu rolled his eyes, but said: "Why not explain it here, how about it? I still have something I need to take care of, so I''m afraid I won''t be able to follow you. "


    " I wonder what kind of cultivation you are? " Xing Shu''s face still did not show any expression, "My Star Moon Sect. Although it was not one of the top sects, it still had some background! There are some things that I must report about before I can leave with you. "


    " Therefore, if you can''t explain it here, then please leave. Waiting until Xing Shu finished his business tomorrow, so he will naturally go to the City Lord''s Mansion for a while. "


    " The sky was bright? I''m afraid I can''t wait that long. " Xing Shu also frowned slightly and refused.


    " What qualifications do you have to say that? " Xiao Wucheng looked at him, and continued to say coldly: "Do you believe that I''ll capture you alive and take you back right now?"


    " "Friend, stop for now!"


    " A friend could be discussed if he had something to say. At the moment, Xing Shu did indeed have something important that he needed to return to the Star Moon Sect early tomorrow. "Please let him go."


    " It''s you? "


    " You can try? " Xiao Wucheng raised his eyebrows: "Both of you come at me together, let''s see if you can keep me here!"


    " "Really?" Galaxy froze for a moment and then asked, "Since that''s the case ¡­" Then why not give it a try! I hope you won''t go back on your words. "

 C36

    " "Really?" Hearing this, Xinghai''s eyes lit up.


    " Since that''s the case, let''s begin. " Before Xinghai could move, Xingqing suddenly smiled charmingly. Immediately after, his figure disappeared from the spot.


    " "Swish!"


    " "Boom!"


    " You shouldn''t have practiced that sound technique. " Frowning, Xiao Wucheng seemed to be unsatisfied with Galaxy''s fist strength. "If you gave up on him and started to cultivate the proper Martial Arts, you might have already entered the peak of the fourth rank by now."


    " "So what?" Xinghai laughed: "Your cultivation is taller than me, sure, but now we are working together! In this world, the news of two Earth Origin Stage joining hands to kill fifth rank is not small. "


    " That will depend on whether you have the ability or not. " Xiao Wucheng also laughed. In the next second, his figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood.


    " "The ''Sun'' cultivation technique?" Seeing the cultivation technique Xing Qing was using, Xiao Wucheng barely managed to block it for a moment. After a while, he suddenly exclaimed: "Those few old fellows from Star Moon Sect, they actually allowed you to learn such a cultivation technique?"


    " I am the most promising disciple or elder in this generation of Star Moon Sect, naturally, I have the qualifications to learn it! " Xing Qing stopped, panting slightly: "This Rotary Kill, I once competed in the sect''s martial arts competitions. He was still in Earth Origin Stage. At that time, he relied on this Rotary Kill to defeat two experts of the same level. "


    " "As expected of the ''Sun'' cultivation technique, truly amazing." Xiao Wucheng didn''t have a weapon, so he could only dodge continuously. However, at this moment, his eyes were also shining brightly.


    " It''s been a long time since someone forced me to use a cultivation technique. However, with the help of the Rotary Kill, we might not have lost too much face. "


    " "Star Moon Codex, Moon Slash, break it for me!"


    " "Boom!"

 C37

    Xiao Wucheng''s cathode seal and Xing Qing''s full force Lunar Beheader violently clashed.


    Boom!


    Hong Yang''s face suddenly changed, his body suddenly moved, and he retreated explosively!


    Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, first move: Thunderclap!


    He couldn''t retreat in time, so he directly used a technique! He increased his speed yet again, and only after escaping for a hundred meters did he manage to escape the area.


    The moment he activated his speed, it immediately exceeded the range of the eighth stage of Returning Origin Stage, and directly reached the ninth stage of Returning Origin Stage!


    It was only because of this terrifying speed that he was able to barely escape the aftermath of Xiao Wucheng and Xing Qing''s battle.


    He stopped, his face still dripping with sweat. He was also smiling bitterly. This kind of battle would probably attract people with even stronger Star Moon Sect.


    Xinghai was already a Earth Origin Stage, in terms of strength, only inferior to the Star Moon Sect''s sect master and vice sect master. Thus, the strength of these two people would naturally be revealed.


    He shook his head and expelled the idea from his mind! Even if the opponent was only Earth Origin Stage, he himself would not be afraid. Furthermore, with such an intense battle, perhaps even his Luo Family would be disturbed.


    Observing the situation on the battlefield once again, not only Hong Yang, but even the other four Earth Origin Stage experts were also stunned.


    After the aftermath dispersed, everyone was able to clearly see the situation in front of them! All of a sudden, a few pleasant surprises appeared on his face.


    At this moment, a sword of Xing Qing''s had already broken! Leaning against a tree, Zhang Xuan slowly collapsed onto the ground. There wasn''t the slightest bit of movement in his body.


    On the other hand, Xiao Wucheng! Right now, he was not even half a step away, and his expression was radiant. Other than a few cuts on his body from Xing Qing''s Rotary Kill, which were slightly awkward, there was nothing wrong with it!


    In the end, Earth Origin Stage was still not enough to defeat Earth Origin Stage. Even though he had used the ''Japanese'' cultivation technique, which was infinitely similar to a second-grade cultivation technique, it was still quite a lot.


    "I lost."


    Xing Qing''s weak voice sounded. He was simply unable to block Xiao Wucheng''s Cathode Seal!


    "Xingqing!" Xing Hai was startled, but just as he was about to rush forward, he was stopped by Xiao Wucheng: "He''s fine. You have to be careful when doing things. If you open his wound recklessly like this, then he really will be in trouble. "


    Galaxy froze for a moment and then calmed down. He had indeed been a little flustered earlier.


    "The competition is already over. I wonder if what Lord Xingqing said before is true?" Hong Yang also kept his Three Styles of Wind and Thunder and said with a smile.


    "This matter is none of my business now." Xinghai forced a smile and said, "I just hope it won''t be too difficult for the higher-ups."


    At this moment, several noises suddenly came from above! Xinghai''s complexion suddenly changed as she looked up at the sky with uncertainty.


    "Elder Xinghai!" For the sect to have such a huge commotion, I''m afraid there must be a change. " Xing Shu snorted: "These two are vicious, they are actually taking advantage of this time to lure the two elders out of the sect, and sneak attack them!"


    During the battle between the two just now, when he wanted to escape, he was caught by a Earth Origin Stage expert and was immediately surrounded. He was already at the end of his tether, yet he was still as stubborn as before.


    "Xing Shu, don''t be rude!" However, Xinghai scolded you, and scolded him: "I recognize this Xiao Wucheng, he is indeed one of the commanders of the city defense army under the Pine Wind County, his strength is extremely high! Since you are someone from the Pine Wind County, you wouldn''t do such a despicable thing. "


    "What''s going on up there?" Xing Shu laughed coldly, "When Sect Master is in seclusion, other than the Vice Sect Master, the five elders are the strongest. Such a coincidence, I definitely do not believe it! "


    Hearing this, Hong Yang''s gaze slightly congealed as he looked at him. He could faintly guess what was going on. Even though it was related to them, it truly wasn''t done by them.


    However, the other party did not know the truth. Thus, he relied on his own guesses to turn the tables on them and wanted to turn the tables on them. Hong Yang did not have a good impression of someone as glib as him.


    "I have wrongly accused County Lord''s Mansion of doing things, and obstructed County Lord''s Mansion from obstructing official affairs. "Just from these two points alone, I can casually pinch you to death." Xiao Wucheng turned his head and looked at him coldly: "Even if the Star Moon Sect Sect Master comes, he won''t be able to do anything to me! Who do you think you are? "


    This sentence was indeed useful. Xing Shu immediately shut his mouth, and didn''t dare speak.


    "In that case, we will take our leave first." Hong Yang took a step forward, and cupped his fists towards Galaxy, "Don''t worry about the mountain, the people here have no ill intentions. We will let Xing Shu come back tomorrow morning. "


    Xinghai forced a smile. What else could he say? Could it be that he wanted to grab him?


    Without mentioning Xiao Wucheng, even the four cultivation behind him were all on the same level as him! Other than Hong Yang, he wasn''t a hundred percent sure when facing anyone else.


    In fact, in the entire Pine Wind County, only County Lord''s Mansion had the power to do so. Ten experts of Earth Origin Stage and above were also taken advantage of by Suo Qingqiu.


    After hurriedly saying his goodbyes, since Xiao Wucheng had promised to not hurt Xing Shu, he naturally could not worry. As one of the commanders of the Pine Wind County Army, Xiao Wucheng had been famous for a long time, so naturally, he would keep his word and not go back on his words.


    He was also worried about what was happening in the sect! After calling the two Star Moon Sect disciples who were patrolling the area to protect Xing Qing, he hurriedly rushed up the mountain.


    All of this took quite a bit of time! Only at the end did the six of them manage to rush back to County Lord''s Mansion.


    As for Li Changfeng and his group of five, they weren''t worried. They must have heard the sounds of battle earlier. At this moment, they had quieted down, which was also to say that they had already returned to the County Lord''s Mansion.


    Even if he couldn''t guess, he would still return at dawn. Being able to leave behind the strength of five Earth Origin Stage experts, in this Pine Wind County, he could count them all with one hand.


    Once they returned to the City Lord''s Mansion, they would naturally inquire about it. After all, this was an extremely important matter and he couldn''t afford to delay any longer.


    There was no such thing as torture or chili concoction. In fact, as long as Xiao Wucheng unreservedly released the aura of his Earth Origin Stage, it would be a type of torture to Xing Shu!


    On this continent, the hierarchy was strict. Even if it was more than one step, it was an insurmountable chasm! Xing Shu who had Earth Origin Stage, against Xiao Wucheng who had Earth Origin Stage, could not raise the slightest bit of resistance.


    At the same time, Xing Lie was still inside the City Lord''s Mansion. After waking him up, he also brought him to City Lord''s Mansion.


    If today passed, then an entire eight days would pass! Hong Yang also knew that he did not hold much hope. But at least it was better than nothing.


    With a simple explanation, Xing Shu also understood why they were looking for him so anxiously. The gaze filled with killing intent immediately turned towards Xing Lie.


    Xing Lie''s entire body shivered, he then gritted his teeth and looked at his without any hesitation.


    He had already made up his mind to leave the Star Moon Sect, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

 C38

    Xing Shu was silent for a while, and finally revealed everything! He could not suppress the feeling of Xiao Wucheng''s aura, the feeling of being oppressed ¡­ Too terrifying.


    "Qingcheng County?"


    After hearing what Xing Shu had said, everyone was stunned. Xiao Wucheng looked at him with worry and said.


    "Yes, he came to find me." Tell me everything that has happened. " Xing Shu replied: "He is a person of the Star Moon Sect after all. Although the cultivation is not high, it has a special use. I do not dare to be negligent, and immediately sent people to inform Star Moon Sect. "


    "After just half a day, the people I sent did not return. However, the person who had returned was an elder of Star Moon Sect! The cultivation is at Earth Origin Stage. "


    "After whispering a few words into Gu Changdong''s ears, he immediately left. Gu Changdong''s face was filled with realization, but he did not say anymore, and after two hours, he also left.


    After he finished saying all this, he kept silent. And Hong Yang''s expression, was already so gloomy that water was about to drip out.


    This matter was indeed related to Star Moon Sect! Within the Star Moon Sect, one could already be considered an elder.


    "Then how did you know that they went to the Qingcheng County?" Hong Yang thought for a moment, then continued to ask: "In the content you said before, you didn''t mention about it right?"


    "He went out to the west gate. And for the west gate which is only fifteen kilometers away, it will be the Qingcheng County''s territory. This is the only road. "


    After hearing Xing Shu''s answer. Hong Yang''s expression also abruptly changed greatly.


    In this way, his guess of the worst possible outcome was proven right.


    The other party had already escaped to another county! In the range of the Qingcheng County ¡­ If that was the case, then the possibility of capturing him would be much more difficult.


    "That''s all I know." Xing Shu shrugged, "As for the details, I don''t have any way of knowing. I am after all, just a disciple, not an elder. "


    What he said was right. No matter what sect it was, the common characteristic was the strict hierarchy. He was not an elder, so he naturally had no right to know some things.


    In that moment, everyone in the room sank into deep thought.


    "Then." Xing Shu spread his hands: "Can I go now?"


    "Let''s wait for daybreak." Xiao Wucheng glanced at him, and then secretly released his aura once more: "The person who we promised to send you back home with Star Moon Sect is Tianming, so we will naturally not go back on our words."


    Once he released his aura, Xing Shu no longer spoke. Xiao Wucheng looked at Hong Yang. The latter understood Zhang Xuan''s intentions and the two of them immediately left the room.


    There was no one in the courtyard, so it seemed rather cold. Xiao Wucheng and Hong Yang walked in the courtyard but the two of them did not say a word.


    After a moment... In the end, Xiao Wucheng was the one who broke the silence. He said, "As expected, you guessed correctly. "Those people have fled to the outer counties."


    "If it were me, I would do the same." Hong Yang said helplessly: "After all, it''s very difficult to capture someone from another county! Unless it''s an order to kill from the imperial family, otherwise, it''s practically impossible. "


    Evidently, a single Ningyang City was not even enough to enter the eyes of the Imperial Family. If the Pill Master''s Luo Family had been slaughtered, there might be a possibility.


    "Then what are you going to do now?" Xiao Wucheng frowned: "Although I really want to, you should know as well. I can''t go with you... On Suo Qingqiu''s side, his words have been made very clear. "


    In order to capture territories and resources across counties, they would naturally dislike each other! Forget about asking the other party to capture them together, if these ten Earth Origin Stage experts were to go over, it would be fine even if they didn''t fight.


    The Black Army Order had no effect on other counties! Pine Wind County itself was not as strong as Qingcheng County, this way, the other party would definitely give him a hard time.


    "We''ll see." Hong Yang let out a long sigh, "Tomorrow afternoon, I will get up and head for the Qingcheng County. Don''t follow... I alone am enough. "


    "Just you alone?" Xiao Wucheng glanced at him: "If you go alone, escaping would not be a problem. However, if he met any one of them, he wouldn''t be able to defeat them! "How do you get there?"


    Hong Yang''s expression began to become expressionless, "It''s alright, at that time ¡­ Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will make Gu Changdong stay! "


    "I had no one to rely on in the first place, I was abandoned by my family, and I was expelled by the sect. What is there to worry about? Gu Changdong almost put me to death. If I don''t capture him, I won''t be able to explain it to myself or my Luo Family. "


    He used the word "stay" instead of "catch". This detail had naturally been seen by Xiao Wucheng. He also knew that at this time, Hong Yang''s character wasn''t very good.


    After thinking about it, he decided that he did not want to continue discussing this topic. There was nothing he could do. If this went on ¡­ It was useless.


    "That''s right. "Who was the cause of the commotion on the mountain earlier?" After muttering to himself for a moment, Xiao Wucheng asked: "At the last moment, you said that those people on the mountain did not have any malicious intent. "Seems like you know who they are?"


    "Naturally. When we were searching for Xing Shu, there was only one force that was constantly staring at our Star Moon Sect. " Hong Yang''s eyes suddenly exploded with a few points of light: "Pill Master''s Luo Family."


    He suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Pill Master''s Luo Family, was indeed like that. At this time, the only thing that would surround the Star Moon Sect was the Pill Master''s Luo Family.


    There weren''t many experts in the Pill Master, but there were some in the Earth Origin Stage, and some in the Earth Origin Stage. Although they couldn''t be considered to have the combat power of the peak, it was still enough to make a small sect like the Star Moon Sect fear them.


    What was even more terrifying was not their strength, but their alchemy techniques! This was something that was even more terrifying than strength. As long as Pill Master Luo Family called for it, a large number of experts would immediately come and destroy this Star Moon Sect.


    The moment Luo Family announced its name, most likely, the Star Moon Sect would not dare to move. Within the Pine Wind County, for those who dared to harm the Pill Master''s Luo Family, the entire Star Moon Sect would cease to exist the next day.


    "No wonder ¡­" Xiao Wucheng was also enlightened: "In Pill Master''s Luo Family, there have always been people around, and there are quite a few of them. Looking at the aura above, Star Moon Sect Vice Sect Master, was actually Earth Origin Stage. If you want to threaten the Earth Origin Stage and all of the Earth Origin Stage experts, you should at least use sixth rank. "


    "Not necessarily." Shaking his head, Hong Yang thought to himself, "A single third rank Pill Master is enough for me."


    That Luo Dongting, Luo Qingyao''s third uncle, was the Pill Master that was being refined with fourth rank! This was his true terror, and the strength of his Earth Origin Stage was merely a contrast.

 C39

    "How about I go with you?" Xiao Wucheng hesitated, but then said: "Just me. As a private person... It should be fine. "


    "If you go, what about the defense of the Pine Wind County?" Hong Yang shook his head helplessly: "Forget it. Just me alone will do. "


    "Gu Changdong, I will definitely capture you and bring you back with my own hands!" His eyes fiercely shone with a little light.


    The next day.


    He cultivated until late morning before waking up. It wasn''t because he was lazy, but because he had benefited greatly from the battle yesterday.


    His strength had improved once again. This didn''t refer to the progress of the cultivation, but to his comprehension of the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder.


    In this way, his speed was completely comparable to that of someone at the ninth stage of the Returning Origin Stage! Even the difference in Peak of Returning Origin Stage s between the two was just a thin line.


    "Really ¡­" "Are we just going like this?"


    Inside the courtyard, Li Changfeng was furious when he heard that Hong Yang was preparing to go and investigate by himself: "He can''t even win against Gu Changdong, much less capture him alive. "What if there''s an accident during this trip?"


    Although the two of them were not relatives of Hong Yang, but they admired him. Naturally, they did not wish for Hong Yang to die.


    Although he said that, he followed Hong Yang. But in fact, he also understood that this was impossible! After that, he still had to report back to the County Lord''s Mansion.


    However, if he was allowed to go alone, it would be the same as throwing his life away! Doing so would put him in a dilemma.


    While feeling conflicted, Xiao Wucheng raised his head and discovered something. Hong Yang directly walked over from not too far away.


    "Do you really have to go?" Li Changfeng asked, "You won''t have the slightest hope if you go alone this time."


    "If we don''t give it a try, how can we know that there''s no hope?" Hong Yang helplessly shook his head: "That''s the only way. Waiting for the Qingcheng County ¡­ "Let''s think about it again."


    "If I don''t capture Gu Changdong, how will I face him?!"


    Hong Yang gritted his teeth and turned to leave, no longer wanting to stay. As for Xiao Wucheng and Li Changfeng, after hesitating for a moment, they also could not stop him.


    Before this, they were only strangers. Although Xiao Wucheng and Li Changfeng both admired this young man. But it was not to the point of disregarding everything else for it.


    Hong Yang naturally understood this principle and did not struggle. He went out the door, and brought along a large horse, wanting to directly leave the city and head towards the Qingcheng County.


    "Lord Hong, wait."


    After running for a short distance, he suddenly heard a shout from behind him. Hong Yang turned his head, and was instantly stunned.


    The person who shouted for him, was actually Xing Lie.


    After stopping the horse, Hong Yang looked at him with some astonishment. "Xing Lie, you actually didn''t return to the Star Moon Sect?"


    Xing Shu had already returned, and he never would have thought that Xing Lie actually hadn''t returned.


    "My name is no longer Xing Lie." Gritting his teeth, Xing Lie suddenly said. "Now that I have committed such an error, I naturally can''t return to Star Moon Sect. If I go back, I''ll most likely be wasting my cultivation as well. My real name is Duan Yu. The name Xing Lie is too irritable, so there''s no need for it. "


    "Duan Yu." Hong Yang coldly repeated his name, "What crime do you have to betray the sect and your master?"


    "If I go back, only death awaits me!" Duan Yu''s back was drenched in cold sweat, and he said: "I, Duan Yu, personally do not feel that I have let down my Star Moon Sect in the slightest!"


    "That''s true. you did not let down your Star Moon Sect in the slightest, did your Star Moon Sect let you down? " Hong Yang laughed coldly, "Your martial way has nothing to do with me. Walk your own path, and do your best. "


    After he finished speaking, he no longer bothered with Xing Lie. Deep in his heart, he didn''t have any good impression of this person at all.


    "Lord Hong, please wait!" Seeing that Hong Yang was about to leave, Duan Yu immediately shouted again, "Master, if you want to go to Qingcheng County, please let me go with you!"


    Hm?


    Hearing that, Hong Yang stopped. He turned around and looked at him in disbelief. "You?"


    "I am also at the eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage, and am only twenty-eight years old this year. It will definitely help. " Duan Yu hurriedly said.


    Hearing this, Hong Yang was instantly moved! Although Duan Yu''s cultivation s were not Earth Origin Stage s, just with his big bow, it was rare for him to be able to be a match for someone of the same level.


    His technique was called ''Falling Star Style''. Then, according to the level of the Star Moon Sect, there would naturally be the Falling Moon Style and the Setting Sun Style! The power of the latter two would definitely be extraordinary.


    If he could get Duan Yu to go with him, it would naturally help! He also knew that it wouldn''t be much good if he went to Qingcheng County by himself.


    After pondering for a moment, he also understood that Duan Yu was indeed unable to return. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "That''s fine, then you can come with me."


    Duan Yu stared blankly for a moment. He did not expect that Hong Yang would actually agree so easily. He stepped forward in delight.


    As the two travelled forward, they naturally needed an extra horse. There was no need to worry. The Yuannan City Market was so developed, it was fine to just buy one.


    They also had enough money on them and even had a few bags of pills. After getting a horse, they immediately rushed out of the city and ran towards the Qingcheng County.


    Although their Qingcheng County were from other counties, they were all from the same empire. If they wanted to cross the border, they would only need a specialist to check.


    In the border zone, there was only a distance of thirty kilometers between them and the Yuannan City. Looking around, there were many people coming and going. There were even many big and small caravans among them.


    He shook his head. Although this Yuannan City was not large, it was still terrifyingly prosperous. It was likely that it would be difficult to find a second one within the entire empire. Naturally, there were many caravans that came and went. At the same time, the inspection procedures here were much stricter than at the other borders.


    Looking from afar, there were a few auras that were not at all inferior to Hong Yang and Hong Yang. After silently sighing, the two of them dismounted from their horses and obediently went to line up.


    They did not want to repeat the incident at the Yuannan City gate once again. He dismounted and walked with a restrained aura, as if he was an ordinary person.


    The queue took a full hour before it reached them. After a simple and brutal inspection, the two of them passed the checkpoint.


    "Let''s go." Hong Yang looked at the sky. It was still early. However, there was still some distance between the Qingcheng County and this place. If they were too slow, there was a risk that they wouldn''t be able to make it in time.


    The capital of Qingcheng County wasn''t far from the Yuannan City. A common capital, coupled with the unique terrain of the Yuannan City, was what made this place such a bustling merchant guild.


    Nodding his head. The two mounted their horses again, about to continue on their journey. Behind him, a burst of shouts suddenly sounded out.


    "Xing Lie... What are you doing here? "

 C40

    Hm?


    Duan Yu was startled, he truly could not think of someone that he was acquainted with would appear here. He turned his head, wanting to see clearly who the person who had called him was.


    However, the moment he turned around, he immediately began to sweat profusely. With a trembling voice, he said, "Elder ¡­ Elder Xingyue, why are you here?"


    "I have something I need to do at Qingcheng County. I was just about to head back." Xing Yue was a man in his forties. Hong Yang looked over, the cultivation was unfathomable.


    At the very least, he should be a Earth Origin Stage expert. And if one wanted to become an elder, they had to at least have third rank and above.


    Narrowing his eyes, his intuition told him that the situation was not looking good.


    "Why are you here? When you leave the Yuannan City and the Star-Moon Mountain, do you have the approval of the sect elders? " Xing Yue lazily said.


    Gritting his teeth, Duan Yu suddenly raised his head, and looked straight at Xing Yue: "No."


    "What?" Xing Yue''s eyes suddenly exploded, staring straight at Duan Yu: "You didn''t apply, and you actually dared to run out without permission? Get the hell back here, and face the wall for three months! "


    "I am no longer a person of Star Moon Sect!" As Duan Yu spoke, his voice also gradually grew colder, "I''m sorry, Elder Xingyue, you don''t have the qualifications to order me around like this."


    When Xing Yue heard this, he coldly said, "Who allowed you to betray the sect?"


    "No one. I can''t go back to Star Moon Sect. If there is anyone who misses my junior or brother, please bring me to apologize. "


    "No one?" Xing Yue suddenly started laughing, laughing for a while before looking at him again, "You betrayed the sect on your own, betraying your master, you shall be punished with death, you shall be punished with death!"


    "If you don''t want to go back, then let me capture you and bring you back!"


    "Be careful!" Hong Yang suddenly warned when he saw the atmosphere. Duan Yu was also shocked, and instantly retreated a few steps.


    Boom!


    A huge crater instantly appeared on the ground. Just now, at the place where Duan Yu was standing... Cold sweat trickled down his back. If he hadn''t reacted in time, he would have been in the pit by now. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.


    "Who are you?" Seeing that Hong Yang had just reminded Duan Yu, Xing Yue immediately turned around: "Eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage? With this level of strength, he still had the right to interfere? Scram! "


    "I am under the command of the Pine Wind County, and am ordered to thoroughly investigate the case of Luo Family." Hong Yang also coldly said, "Duan Yu also came with me to check out the news from the Qingcheng County. May I know if Senior is willing to allow me to pass? "


    "It''s obviously not a problem for you to release them. or whatever, it has nothing to do with me." Xing Yue ridiculed him, "However, what does it have to do with you that I''ve captured my own unfilial disciple?"


    "He''s going with me to investigate." Hong Yang coldly said, "If you don''t believe, you can check for yourself after returning to your Star Moon Sect."


    "None of your business." Xing Yue let out a cold snort. In the next second, he raised his hand. Then, his Yuan Qi rippled as it ferociously struck out.


    "Retreat!"


    Hong Yang also didn''t think that this Xing Yue would actually attack without a word! Suddenly, a thunderous sound rang out as he narrowly avoided this attack.


    A Earth Origin Stage expert would actually make a move against a Returning Origin Stage junior! It wasn''t only them. The surrounding crowd were also somewhat astonished.


    However, robberies and killings along the way were common in this world. No one stepped forward. Instead, they crowded around and watched.


    Hong Yang''s expression turned serious, he obviously did not expect the dignified Earth Origin Stage to actually make a move! This was also his first time fighting with a Earth Origin Stage expert!


    Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, second style ¨C Thunderstorm Roar!


    In an instant, he had opened the second layer of Three Styles of Wind and Thunder! Hong Yang''s figure flashed, and suddenly burst out.


    Facing a Earth Origin Stage expert, he could not be the slightest bit negligent.


    "Your speed seems to have exceeded the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage?" Starbeck was surprised, but he was obviously surprised. However, his face instantly turned cold: "But even so, it is still useless!"


    He flipped his body and sent out another handprint. He also let out a cold snort, and directly rushed towards Hong Yang.


    In front of him, Xing Yue was a bit careless. Under this full power attack, Hong Yang simply could not avoid it.


    Thunder rumbled in the wind!


    Thunderstorm rolled out!


    The thunder shook the sky!


    After throwing out three moves in a row, his body borrowed the momentum of the wind and thunder to rise to the extreme. He instantly turned around and retreated!


    Boom!


    Even if it was three consecutive moves, it only slowed down Xing Yue''s palm strike by a little. Although Hong Yang immediately retreated backwards, he was simply unable to match up to Xing Yue''s speed.


    "Puff ¡­"


    After being hit by the palm strike, a black handprint instantly appeared on his chest. His entire body was sent flying a dozen meters backwards!


    "Hong Yang!"


    Duan Yu''s pupils suddenly shrank as he took off the big bow on his back and pulled it back in an instant. As the Essence Qi gathered above it, it seemed to exude an aura.


    He saw that Hong Yang had actually been easily sent flying by Xing Yue''s palm! Suddenly, he no longer had any confidence. But even so, he still had to bite the bullet.


    Star Moon Codex, Falling Moon Style!


    On the bow, there was actually the moonlight with stars on it. Although it was only a tiny bit, it was no longer something that could be compared with his previous'' Fallen Star ''stance.


    "Lunar technique?" You, you already have the qualifications to be promoted to an inner court disciple? "


    Xingyue was stunned for a moment, looking a little surprised. However, it instantly turned into killing intent. "Since that''s the case, we must capture you alive today and bring you back! You can''t let the Star Moon Sect''s cultivation methods be spread outside. "


    Duan Yu clenched his teeth, the Falling Moon Style exploding out, and a big arrow was shot out. He then immediately retreated backwards, fleeing in the blink of an eye.


    An expert of Earth Origin Stage, was this terrifying. Returning Origin Stage Warriors were unable to resist at all!


    Even if it was a "Moon" cultivation technique or a top rank 1 skill, in front of absolute strength, it was nothing!


    Lifting up one chapter, he took down the scissors and casually broke it! Xing Yue''s figure flashed, and appeared not far away from Duan Yu.


    "Take it!"


    Star Moon Scripture, Star Light Imprint!


    He was actually using a martial art! The overflowing of vitality was directly pressing down towards Duan Yu!


    "Please show mercy!"


    Just as the sealing mark was about to land, a voice could be heard off to the side. Then, a huge beam of light came crashing down from the side.


    This move directly blocked Xing Yue''s attack! As for Duan Yu, he had already fallen to the ground and was watching this scene in shock.


    If that seal had directly hit him. He would probably be severely injured by now.


    If he was brought back to the Star Moon Sect, his entire life would be ruined!


    After a moment of shock, Xing Yue shouted towards the crowd of spectators, "I wonder who was the one that attacked just now?" This is a matter of my sect, please do not interfere. "


    A person walked out from the crowd. He looked to be in his fifties, and he wore a long robe. His bearing was extraordinary.


    "This person, even the one just now. Two people... I have guaranteed it today! "

 C41

    Seeing the newcomer, Hong Yang''s pupils also shrank greatly. Subsequently, a bit of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.


    "Luo Dongting!"


    It was none other than Luo Dongting, Luo Qingyao''s third uncle. Hong Yang had also guessed that someone from the Luo Family would follow him to investigate this case, but he never thought that it would actually be Luo Dongting.


    Luo Dongting had obviously followed them the entire way. It did not show up easily. In reality, with Xiao Wucheng and Li Changfeng around, there was no need for him to appear within the Pine Wind County.


    But now, seeing that Hong Yang and his were in danger, he had to take action! If they still did not act, Hong Yang and Duan Yu might even be in danger.


    The palm was only barely able to block it. Luo Dongting''s face turned gloomy, he knew that it was because of Duan Yu''s strength. It was absolutely impossible for Xing Yue to use his full strength.


    However, he had used seventy percent of his strength to block that attack. He knew that the other party''s cultivation realm was definitely higher than theirs.


    Earth Origin Stage!


    The grade of this Xing Yue, was Earth Origin Stage, and it was one rank higher than Luo Dongting''s!


    "You are ¡­" Xing Yue cupped his hands and was about to continue speaking. Her eyes, however, suddenly noticed the badge on Luo Dongting''s chest.


    That was the symbol of the Pill Master''s Luo Family. The top four stripes represented the Pill Master s of fourth rank.


    "fourth rank Pill Master!" Before he could speak, there was also a knowledgeable person within the crowd who recognized Luo Dongting''s Pill Master level and cried out involuntarily.


    Deep fear suddenly gushed out from his pupils. Xing Yue''s tone was completely different from the overbearing tone from before, and even became a little soft: "Esteemed Pill Master. This is a matter of my Star Moon Sect family, may I leave? "


    "These two people are indeed here to investigate about my Luo Family. They also have the orders from Princess Pine Wind County, Suo Qingqiu." Luo Dongting smiled and said: "If you have anything to say, we can settle it in the future. Why not?"


    "I can let that brat go, he has nothing to do with me." Xing Yue hesitated for a moment, then pointed at Hong Yang: "But I have to bring this person back! You left the sect without permission to bully your teacher and exterminate your ancestors, you deserve to be sentenced to death! "


    As he spoke, he gave Duan Yu the big hat of deceiving his master and exterminating his ancestors. Duan Yu merely looked at him coldly, and did not retort.


    Right now, he no longer had the slightest bit of good impression towards people of Star Moon Sect. In a short span of two days, he had changed from a sincere Star Moon Sect disciple to someone who had deep grudges against Star Moon Sect.


    "I don''t care who it is." Luo Dongting shook his head: "Today, these two, I have protected them both. If you insist, you can try. If you don''t agree, you can turn around and go back to your Star Moon Sect now. "


    Xing Yue''s face turned green, he had thought that if he were to make a move, even if it was only 30% of his power, capturing Duan Yu would already be an easy task. Who would have thought that a Luo Dongting came out of nowhere?


    Even though he was only at Earth Origin Stage, Pill Master''s fourth rank was an existence that not even the princess of Pine Wind County dared to slight. If he were to call for help here, then it was likely that the thousands of people watching would come up to kill him with just a few cultivation.


    After all, the favor of a fourth rank Pill Master was not owed. Even in the entire empire, it was extremely important.


    "Is that so?" Xing Yue took a deep breath. Within his eyes, there was also a little bit of anger! However, he did not dare to flare up.


    Luo Dongting was also somewhat suspicious. When he was going to the Qingcheng County, he did not bring along one of the ten experts of the Earth Origin Stage. Instead, he brought along a person who was also at the eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage. Although he was suspicious, he still trusted Hong Yang quite a bit and saved Duan Yu as well.


    After all, Hong Yang had brought Luo Qingyao out of the dead zone! If there was no Hong Yang, there would be no Luo Qingyao. It could be said that the entire Pill Master''s Luo Family owed Hong Yang a huge favor.


    Thus, no matter what, Luo Dongting would never let anything happen to Hong Yang. After pursuing Gu Changdong and investigating this matter, they would not allow anyone to interfere!


    "Alright. I''ll remember the Luo Family. Xing Lie, you are betraying your sect, you are heartless. No matter what method you use, I will capture you and bring you back to the sect so that you can personally waste your cultivation and force you into my Star Moon Sect prison! "


    After saying this, he too waved his sleeves and prepared to leave. But just as he walked a few steps, he was stopped by Luo Dongting.


    "A prison for Star Moon Sect?" Luo Dongting laughed: "I remember that the rule of law in our county has a rule that doesn''t allow for private prisons, right? Other than the major cities, no other prison is allowed! "


    "I don''t know about this law. Do you remember it? Or should I say, does your esteemed sect master remember this? "


    After hearing this sentence, Xing Yue''s expression changed drastically! He sighed to himself that he had leaked the information, and in his heart, he could not help but scold himself.


    However, as expected of a Earth Origin Stage expert, and a person who had seen the world, he immediately calmed down after a moment. "What do you want?"


    He also thought that Luo Dongting wanted to use this opportunity to threaten him. Although it had the Star Moon Sect of a small sect. However, the positions of the Earth Origin Stage experts would definitely hold a great deal of weight, and there would be quite a few treasures on their bodies.


    His eyes turned slightly cold and his killing intent disappeared in a flash. But Luo Dongting just laughed: "It''s fine, I was just reminding you. Since you have let go of these two, then good. "


    Xing Yue''s expression was uncertain, but she didn''t want to stay here any longer. With a single fourth rank Pill Master present, he simply did not have the slightest chance! Even if they could get back their dignity, and offend a fourth rank Pill Master, the entire sect wouldn''t be able to afford it!


    "In that case, this one shall take my leave first." He specifically emphasized the word "I". A fourth rank Pill Master was indeed not one he could afford to offend.


    Luo Dongting did not stop them. With a faint smile, he walked towards Hong Yang. Although Hong Yang was injured, it was not too serious. Adding on the few healing pellets he had taken from the Luo Family in his bag, his condition seemed to have calmed down quite a bit.


    Luo Dongting stepped forward to inspect it. Other than his aura becoming a little unstable, there were no major problems. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.


    "This is?" Duan Yu also walked forward to help Hong Yang up. at the same time, he looked at Luo Dongting. The latter''s identity, could actually make a Earth Origin Stage, Star Moon Sect elder cower, and not even dare to fart! For a moment, he was slightly puzzled as well.


    "I am Luo Dongting, a person of Pill Master''s Luo Family, a Pill Master." Hong Yang still did not answer, and Luo Dongting also smiled: "This time, since Hong Yang has come to investigate, Luo Family is not at ease. Therefore, we have also sent a few people here to assist you in the shadows, and this old man is one of them. "


    fourth rank Pill Master!


    naturally knew this as his pupils shrank abruptly. However, even in the Luo Family, the fourth rank Pill Master s were definitely rare existences, and could be counted with a single palm.


    Unexpectedly, one had appeared in front of him.

 C42

    "Luo ¡­" "Milord."


    Duan Yu clenched his teeth hard and spat out these three words. With Luo Dongting''s status, it was worth it to say "Lord".


    However, these familiar words were already used to it when they were in the Star Moon Sect. If he were to speak now, especially towards a stranger, he would naturally find it a bit hard to say it.


    "It''s fine, just call me Luo Dongting, or Brother Luo." Luo Dongting waved his sleeves, and laughed: "There''s no need for so many rules."


    Letting out a breath, it seemed that this Luo Family Pill Master was very easy to talk to. Standing up, Duan Yu also looked at him.


    "This time, go to the Qingcheng County ¡­ is it also about investigating the Luo Family? I wonder what the Qingcheng County has to do with this matter. "


    With a thought, he asked Hong Yang.


    If not for him waking up early this morning to find that Hong Yang had disappeared, and then finding out that he had left the west side of the city, and had coincidentally met him again. Otherwise, they would have lost contact with him by now.


    Hong Yang also did not hide anything and directly told his everything that Xing Shu had said. Seeing that, Luo Dongting frowned, and was also a bit worried.


    No wonder Hong Yang left the city alone and headed towards the Qingcheng County. He had clearly heard what Suo Qingqiu had said.


    This matter could only be investigated in secret. There was no way it could be made public. Xiao Wucheng and Li Changfeng were famous Earth Origin Stage Warriors, and they were directly subordinate to the city''s defence forces. If he were to head to the Qingcheng County, he would inevitably be recognized.


    But at the same time, he was also secretly blaming these two fools. The ten Earth Origin Stage Warriors under his command, couldn''t they just randomly find someone to protect? After all, even though the entire Pine Wind County was small, a profound practitioner still numbered in the hundreds and it was impossible for everyone to have such a skill.


    At that time, Hong Yang would just be treated as a disciple of some big family. And Pill Master, could also bear the name of this huge family.


    "Yes." This trip, is also to check on news of Gu Changdong at Qingcheng County. " Hong Yang nodded his head: "This Qingcheng County isn''t far from Star-Moon Mountain, and moreover, it''s in another county. It''s quite suitable for hiding."


    His previous guess was actually correct. This also made Hong Yang laugh bitterly. In fact, he was unsure if he could rely on himself and Duan Yu to capture him.


    In Qingcheng County, everything requires one to be careful! There was no longer any effect from the Black Army Token, and there were no longer ten Earth Origin Stage Warriors present. This effect was as different as heaven and earth.


    "Beside you, without the protection of a Earth Origin Stage Ranker, this won''t do." Frowning, Luo Dongting suddenly said: "Then. I''ll go with you guys on this journey. The deterrence level of the Pill Master s, is not less than ten of them. "


    "Hmm?" Hearing this, Hong Yang looked at him with a slightly stunned expression. Luo Dongting was going to Qingcheng County with him?


    "I was originally ordered by the family head to be in charge of this matter." Luo Dongting said with a wry smile: "If it wasn''t for you, I still wouldn''t know that Gu Changdong would still be hiding within the Qingcheng County."


    "And if so, since we cannot use the Black Army Command and those Earth Origin Stage experts to pursue us across the county. Then I might be able to accompany you. Even some of the external forces would need to take the face of the Pill Master''s Luo Family a bit seriously. " He continued: "Going to the Qingcheng County in the name of Luo Family can also be considered as having a teacher''s name."


    Hong Yang calculated in his heart, what Luo Dongting said was also correct! Although he could not capture them in the name of the Pine Wind County Palace, he could still capture them in the name of the Pill Master s.


    "Then that''s it." Luo Dongting looked at the sky, it was already past lunch time. In the vicinity of the border, there were a few teahouses and inns around due to the large number of people. "Let''s go to Qingcheng County after lunch. If you sleep in the wilderness at night, there will always be some danger. "


    This trip to the Qingcheng County was at least forty to fifty kilometers away. This distance of half a day, he would probably need to increase in speed in order to reach it. Fortunately, the three of them had cultivation. This speed was something they could bear.


    After lunch, he found a random merchant house and bought a good horse. The three of them did not dare delay any further, immediately mounting their horses and galloping towards Qingcheng County.


    They finally arrived at the city in the evening. The Qingcheng County closes the city gate after ten o''clock every night. And without the order, the city gates could not be opened.


    After entering the city. He found an inn to stay in. The Qingcheng County was much bigger than the mountains, but the rules were very strict. At any time, one could see the Black Armoured Army patrolling around the city, so there wouldn''t be much of a commotion.


    "This Qingcheng County, has strict rules. In this short period of time since we entered the city, I have already seen three teams of Black Armoured Army. " In the inn, Duan Yu said: "We patrol around the clock. On the other hand, no one dared to cause trouble. "


    "Yes."


    Hong Yang nodded. Compared to Pine Wind County, the security of Qingcheng County was indeed much better.


    "Brother Luo, what should we do next?"


    On the way, Duan Yu also talked a lot with Luo Dongting. Not only had his understanding of martial arts improved, but he had also improved by leaps and bounds. The two of them chatted happily and there was no longer any estrangement between them.


    "I don''t know." It will be very difficult to mobilize the entire city''s power to conduct a search like at the Pine Wind County. " Luo Dongting laughed bitterly: "With Luo Family''s face, he might see us once. However, face was still face, it wasn''t something that was real. It would be impossible to get him to use his army to investigate our case. "


    "Without an army. How can we continue with just the three of us? " Helplessly shaking his head, a pondering expression surfaced on Hong Yang''s face.


    Just three people wanting to search through this enormous Qingcheng County was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack; there was no hope at all.


    "That''s right. Do you think that this Gu Changdong is also someone from the Star Moon Sect? In that case, he only needed to find the power of the Star Moon Sect and ask. Just like at Yuannan City. "


    After thinking for a while, Duan Yu suddenly thought of a method to capture Xing Shu at Yuannan City, and could not help but ask.


    "That''s right. Gu Changdong had arrived here after speaking with the elders of the Star Moon Sect sect. That elder must be trying to convey the meaning of the Sect Leader. " Luo Dongting''s eyes lit up when he heard this: "Since it''s like this, then the Star Moon Sect will definitely be prepared here. We will just need to find the person in charge of Gu Changdong and ask his about it. "


    "No. I am sure that Gu Changdong is not someone from the Star Moon Sect. " Unexpectedly, Hong Yang immediately replied: "I''ve been in contact with him for so long. Naturally, he knew a bit about his background. He used Peak of Returning Origin Stage, but the cultivation method he used ¡­ I''ve never had an impression of it. "

 C43

    "Never heard of it?" Luo Dongting was startled, but laughed: "There are more than ten million cultivation techniques in this world! Even if it was the Star Moon Sect, it shouldn''t be just a part of the Star Moon Scripture. So what''s so special about this? "


    Although Hong Yang was only at the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage, he was a member of the northern Hong Castle, and even more so, a disciple of the Taiyi Sect. If one were to talk about the cultivation techniques that one had seen before, he would definitely be much stronger than Luo Dongting. However, no one could recognize all the cultivation techniques in the world.


    But when Duan Yu heard this, he said, "Star Moon Sect indeed only has the Star Moon Scripture cultivation technique. When I was at the Star Moon Sect, everyone was cultivating this technique. "Moreover, the Star and Moon Scripture has many moves. Adding all three of them together, there are at least dozens of moves."


    It was unknown which supreme elder created the Star and Moon Canon, but it was divided into three levels: Star, Moon, and Day. The ''Star'' cultivation technique was a medium third-grade, and the ''Moon'' cultivation technique was a peak third-grade. And the "Sun" cultivation technique had already stepped into the second rank.


    Just which day was this? There were already several techniques that Xing Qing had displayed! Due to the variety of moves, there were more than a thousand variations. Therefore, since Star Moon Sect only had this one cultivation method, everyone learning it was not strange.


    On the other hand, Hong Yang''s Three Styles of Wind and Thunder only had three moves. However, all of them were at the peak of the third grade, and there were even signs of them reaching the second grade! It was equivalent to the ''Moon'' cultivation technique in the ''Star Moon Scripture''.


    "The cultivation technique Gu Changdong practices is overbearing and aggressive. Compared to the Star Moon Scripture which is extremely precise, it might be a little courting for beauty, but it is completely different and might even be in two different directions. "


    Hong Yang muttered to himself, and said intermittently, "So I wanted to ¡­ It was absolutely impossible for Gu Changdong to be a Star Moon Sect disciple. It should be a cooperative relationship between them. "


    "Cooperate?" Luo Dongting frowned: "You mean, the power whose Star Moon Sect is tainted by Ningyang City?"


    A vicious look flashed across his eyes. This Star Moon Sect, without respect for any laws or laws, had obstructed the person from capturing it, and had set up a private prison. Now, other than Yuannan City, he actually also wanted to meddle in it.


    This matter, if he went back and reported it to Suo Qingqiu, after he verifies it, annihilating their entire Star Moon Sect would not be impossible! If a small sect was able to obstruct the law and order, it was best if it did not exist ¡­


    Hong Yang nodded his head, "I can''t rule out the possibility of that. I think, the ultimate goal of Star Moon Sect, should still be the Sky Dragon Dagger. They wanted the Sky Dragon Dagger, but Gu Changdong needed the strength of his Star Moon Sect to do something. The two of them immediately, unintentionally coalesced into one. "


    This was the most reasonable conclusion. This was the only explanation for why the Luo Family had suddenly been destroyed and why Gu Changdong had suddenly turned hostile. Everything was caused by the Star Moon Sect.


    They discussed for a long time, but still couldn''t come to a conclusion. The three of them were also exhausted today. Duan Yu even felt some of the martial intent, and couldn''t wait to comprehend it. The three of them continued until deep into the night, then each returned to their respective rooms to train.


    The Sky Dragon Dagger was currently in the hands of the Pill Master''s Luo Family. The Luo Family family head also knew about this, so they would naturally take care of it. Presumably, in the entire Pine Wind County, there wasn''t a single power that could move the Pill Master''s Luo Family.


    Sky Dragon Dagger ¡­ Above it was already the soul of the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign! However, Hong Yang knew that his secret was probably more than that.


    This dagger gave people the feeling that they were unable to see through it ¡­ It was unknown when someone would be able to get their hands on the secret. Perhaps, there was a great opportunity.


    The next morning.


    Hong Yang finished his cultivation and walked out of the room. But he noticed that Duan Yu and Luo Dongting had already disappeared. He could not help but let out a bitter laugh, silently sighing at his own cultivation, being too engrossed in it.


    According to Elder Xiaoyao''s experience, not only did the cultivation advance at a tremendous pace in cultivation, it also became an extremely enjoyable process. When Hong Yang was inattentive, his mind sank into it. In the past few days, he had been training until late in the morning before waking up.


    Since they were all here, they should have woken up early and immediately went out to find Gu Changdong. And seeing that he was too engrossed in his training, he didn''t wake himself up.


    "Mm, where is the city gate ¡­" Something seems to be wrong? "


    Walking out of the inn. He was surprised to find that streams of people were rushing towards the city gate. It was obvious that something had happened.


    After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go over and take a look. Maybe the two of them were there? Furthermore, looking at how many people there were, it was likely not a small matter.


    Squeezing into the crowd, he slightly released his Essence and unintentionally opened up a path for himself. In next to no time, he had squeezed his way to the city gate as well. He noticed that there was a notice pasted on it.


    "Last night, an unexpected guest accidentally broke into County Lord''s Mansion. He had wounded more than a dozen people in the mansion. Because his face was covered, no one knew what he looked like. The city gates are closed for three days; the east gate is only open for entry into the city and not for exit. The ban will be lifted in three days. "


    "Tsk tsk, there are Earth Origin Stage experts after all. It was said that the princess herself possessed the strength of a Earth Origin Stage. Who is so audacious as to barge into the County Lord''s Mansion to cause harm to others? "


    "It''s not just the princess, last time when I passed by the County Lord''s Mansion, I felt an extremely strong aura! That aura scared me so much that I almost pissed my pants and made a fool of myself in the street. To be able to frighten my Returning Origin Stage to this extent, the strength inside the County Lord''s Mansion must at least have Earth Origin Stage! "


    "Tch, with your Returning Origin Stage''s strength. Returning Origin Stage and sixth rank can already scare you to the point of pissing your pants. "


    Listening to a few comments, Hong Yang laughed bitterly. Compared to Pine Wind County, the strength of this Qingcheng County was not weak. Pine Wind County allowed him to easily produce ten fourth rank experts. This Qingcheng County, would most likely contain Earth Origin Stage, or even a terrifying existence at the seventh step or the eighth stage!


    Of course, these people would not easily show themselves. Their existence was only known to martial practitioners. These commoners were rarely seen once in their lives.


    "Hm."


    He turned around. This announcement was useless to him and had nothing to do with him. He immediately wanted to squeeze out of the crowd and walk out.


    But after walking a few steps, he realized that Duan Yu and Luo Dongting were also in the flow of people. After walking towards them. After the three of them had exchanged blows, they found a random teahouse at the entrance of the city and sat down.


    "I didn''t expect that we had just arrived one day ago. Such a big thing has already happened here. " Duan Yu looked at the notice again: "You dare to cause trouble within the County Lord''s Mansion. This person was bold enough and strong enough. I''m afraid that it is not under the Earth Origin Stage. "


    Earth Origin Stage, even if it was Pine Wind County, there were only a few of them! However, it was said that Xiao Wucheng was about to break through to the Earth Origin Stage as well. It was no wonder that his combat strength, within the fifth rank, could be considered to be at the peak.


    "Actually, this incident. It''s also good for us. "


    After a moment of silence, Luo Dongting suddenly spoke out.

 C44

    "Profit?"


    Stunned, Hong Yang and Duan Yu both looked at him in disbelief.


    "If Gu Changdong did not escape from the city, then he would not be able to leave for the past three days." Luo Dongting smiled slightly: "These three days, it''s like a search for a trapped beast. We still have a chance."


    "And if he gets out of here? After all, the Qingcheng County was so huge, there were a total of eighteen cities! Xing Shu only said that he left the west gate and did not specifically say that he was going to that city. "


    Luo Dongting said: "If he escaped from here. Then, do we still have a chance? "


    Hong Yang was startled.


    That was indeed the case. Their current clue was that Gu Changdong might be inside the Qingcheng County! As long as he was still within the Qingcheng County, then these three days must definitely be found for him!


    But if he wasn''t there. In that vast world, there was no way to find it. Right now, he could only treat this as a living treatment for a dead horse ¡­


    "Moreover, this city gate being closed for three days is only a pretext. Anyone who could threaten the might of County Lord''s Mansion would never stop until they found one! However, it would not be too excessive to shut down the city. I estimate that it will be closed for five days to a week. "


    Hong Yang thought about it and said.


    "Now, the city gates are closed. If you were to fight with someone from the County Lord''s Mansion, that person would be injured no matter how high the cultivation s are. " Duan Yu changed the topic and said, "Now, let''s use the whole city to search for him. That person will probably not be able to escape. "


    This was County Lord''s Mansion. Even if that assassin escapes, the princess of Qingcheng County could use the Black Army to order the entire county to chase him and kill him! With a bitter smile, he followed suit. The difference between their harvests and this Qingcheng County was simply too great.


    Hong Yang''s eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of something. Then the light dimmed again. This possibility was simply too low.


    The other two didn''t notice his actions.


    "Duan Yu. Do you know if there are powers with Star Moon Sect within these Qingcheng County? " Luo Dongting looked at Duan Yu and asked.


    Duan Yu answered without the slightest hesitation. "Absolutely impossible! Although Star Moon Sect were located at the border, they were still Pine Wind County''s territory, and would only extend their forces inside the Pine Wind County. Moreover, this is the capital of the Qingcheng County, so it is impossible for it to be infiltrated by any power outside the city. "


    This was similar to Pine Wind County, which was also the strongest in one''s family! Aside from Luo Family and City Lord''s Mansion, there was no other third force.


    Moreover, Luo Family is a family of medicine pills, with generations of medicine making a living, there aren''t many strong practitioners. Only when County Lord''s Mansion and Luo Family coexist would one be able to fully display their strength. Therefore, the existence of Luo Family was also silently allowed by the County Lord''s Mansion.


    "Then why did Gu Changdong flee to this place?" Frowning, a big doubt appeared in the bottom of Luo Dongting''s heart: "In this kind of situation, if it was me, I would definitely find a force to protect me. After all, it''s impossible to escape for a lifetime. "


    "You are not him after all." Hong Yang stood up, "No matter what, we just need to continue searching. Everything is gradually appearing before our eyes. "


    He had a bad premonition deep in his heart. Because at this time, he suddenly guessed it.


    A Sky Dragon Dagger was definitely not something that a small sect like the Star Moon Sect could touch! I''m afraid this plot is not that simple.


    I''m afraid there''s something behind the Star Moon Sect ¡­ This was an existence that they could not afford to offend.


    Somewhere in the city on the other side.


    "Did you get anything?" In a secret room, Gu Changdong looked at a man dressed in black robes and asked anxiously.


    "No. County Lord''s Mansion is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, to actually have an expert of eighth rank at the same level as me! Before I could even look for him, I was discovered by him. After that, I immediately left. "


    "There''s already a notice posted in the city. To be able to cause the County Lord''s Mansion to attach such importance to it, and even cause them to close the city gates for three days. It seems like you''ve killed quite a few people when you backed out. " Gu Changdong chuckled.


    "Three Earth Origin Stage experts, one Earth Origin Stage, and a bunch of miscellaneous fish. There''s probably more than twenty of them. " Licking his lips, he continued, "It''s a pity that it requires a cultivation technique to break out of that warehouse. If not for the fact that I alarmed that eighth rank with that strike, I probably would have succeeded by now. "


    "Then what should we do now?" With the Sky Dragon Dagger in your hands, you missed again. When we go back, we will not be able to explain ourselves to the White Demon. " After Gu Changdong finished laughing, a deep look of worry emerged on his face as well.


    He gritted his teeth and added another sentence, "I never thought that the damned Hong Yang would actually be so bold. If not for him, the Sky Dragon Dagger would already be in Master Bai''s hands. "


    "Forget about the Sky Dragon Dagger. Luo Family is not something that we can afford to offend. We''ll talk about this dagger when we get back. " The man in black said as a glint of light flashed across his eyes.


    "The city notice has been posted. If so, we''ll wait a few days. When the city reopened, he would give it a try! "Regardless of whether they succeed or not, they will immediately escape."


    "Are we going to stay here for the next three days?" A hint of worry also appeared on Gu Changdong''s face: "Can we force our way out?"


    The black clothed man looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot, and said, "I can, but no one can hold my strength back with this Qingcheng County."


    "But you, are not certain. With your Peak of Returning Origin Stage, how many can you spare? " The corner of his mouth curved up as he ridiculed, "So, it''s better to stay safe for a few days. If you want to run out by yourself, I won''t stop you. "


    The difference between eighth rank and heaven and earth.


    "Alright ¡­"


    Gu Changdong lowered his head and no longer spoke. He was also extremely worried. His plan in the Ningyang City failed because of Hong Yang, and he was forced to borrow the strength of his Star Moon Sect to escape until here.


    However, at least in this place, it was battles between Earth Origin Stage experts, and there were even eighth rank s! At this level, as long as one released their aura, it would be easy for them to kill him.


    For the past few days, he had been holed up in this secret chamber, not daring to go out. When he heard that the city gate was closed, his heart tensed up once again.


    "Of course, I still have something to do these few days." The man in black smiled, stretched out his hand, and clenched his fist tightly in the air.


    "What is it?"


    Gu Changdong''s mouth twitched as he asked.


    "Some trash have come here. "I''ll take it easy and help you deal with it."


    Gu Changdong was startled, he immediately understood what he meant! After that, a trace of deep surprise emerged on his face.


    Those bastards, he knew who they were.

 C45

    At night.


    Returning to the inn, the three of them looked exhausted.


    They had once tried their best to get the list of people to enter the city within the first three days. However, the result was simply impossible.


    Everyone who entered the city had to check their registration. The registration method was very simple. It was to take down their names.


    If Gu Changdong wanted to enter the city, he would definitely leave his name there as well! This could also be considered an effort, but everyone knew that ¡­ It was unlikely.


    As the capital, the number of people flowing through the Qingcheng County was not just tens of thousands per day! Even if they could obtain it, they wouldn''t be able to detect it.


    "What do we do now?" Returning to the inn, Duan Yu said helplessly. He rubbed his temples. The fatigue of the day had left him feeling extremely weak.


    "Wait." Luo Dongting stood in his original position and looked up at the ceiling.


    "Above the roof... "There''s someone."


    "Hmm?" Stunned, Hong Yang pulled Duan Yu, the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder instantly appeared, and immediately left the room.


    Luo Dongting was a Pill Master, his perception was many times stronger than normal warriors! In the next second, a cloud of dust suddenly flew up from the ground.


    Although the ground did not sink, this scene showed that there were people above. Duan Yu was still puzzled when he suddenly heard a question. "Melting Bone Palm?"


    "You actually recognize this cultivation technique?" After retreating into the courtyard, some of the people in the inn went to rest. That palm strike from before did not make any sound and did not disturb them.


    The Melting Bone Palm was a very vicious technique. Although it was only a superior grade three skill, it was still enough to cause one''s entire body to go limp, making them unable to move. Finally, his muscles began to melt as he was devoured by the invading Essence Qi.


    His whole person would die such a miserable death. The viciousness of this technique was truly rare.


    "Of course I do." Hong Yang didn''t say anything, and said coldly.


    A person slowly walked out from the roof. Although the sky was very dark, the three people on scene all had very good eyesight.


    The man was dressed in black and black, and his face couldn''t be seen at all. But when he walked out, Luo Dongting''s pupils suddenly shrank.


    His intuition told him that this person''s cultivation was far above him. Terrifying.


    "Pill Master?" Seeing Luo Dongting''s existence, the black-clothed man was obviously surprised for a moment. "Someone from the Luo Family?"


    "My name is Pill Master Luo Family, Luo Dongting, Pill Master fourth rank." Luo Dongting cupped his fists at him, "Senior, what business do you have with us?"


    "Pill Master''s fourth rank!"


    The black-clothed man frowned, and his tone carried a trace of shock. "Someone from the Luo Family must have made a big move."


    "Senior, why did you suddenly attack those two just now?" Luo Dongting continued: "If it''s these two juniors, if they did anything wrong, I''ll apologize on their behalf. Right now, we still have important matters to attend to. I wonder if we can leave? "


    "No." That black-clothed man firmly shook his head: "Today, none of you will be able to leave. Then the Pill Master''s fourth rank, won''t do either! "


    Pill Master fourth rank ¡­ No.


    Luo Dongting''s expression suddenly turned cold: "If you let us leave today. Just treat it as me owing you a favor, okay? "


    He suddenly thought of the black-clothed man he met on the way back to saving Hong Yang. It was the same as his cultivation. However, this person was much stronger than him.


    Luo Dongting had Earth Origin Stage. Then this black-clothed person in front of him, was at least an existence of fifth rank.


    "Senior, are you trying to kill us all?"


    Luo Dongting coldly snorted, "I am from the Pill Master''s Luo Family. After annihilating a Ningyang City branch family, they were still able to chase down the Qingcheng County. If you kill me. I guarantee that your sect will not survive past two days! "


    If it was really an order from the Pill Master s, even attacking the County Lord''s Mansion might not be impossible. Some existences at the seventh or eighth level of the Earth Origin Stage would be blessed by the Medicinal Family! This was also the place where Luo Dongting was the most confident.


    Duan Yu took a step back, but was stopped by Hong Yang. Then, Hong Yang wrote a few words on his palm.


    "Buy some time."


    Duan Yu was startled, and then understood. He tried his best to conceal the fear on his face as he coldly stared at the other party.


    "If I am killed. Luo Family will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly! " Luo Dongting continued to speak coldly: "At that time, you will definitely not be able to escape. Now, if you turn around and go back, I can pretend that nothing happened. "


    From his words, he actually wanted to take the lead. However, the other party''s frightening aura still pressured him to the point that he couldn''t breathe.


    "It''s very easy to solve a problem." The black clothed man''s tone seemed to be filled with impatience as he said, "I will quickly kill all of you. And then he immediately left, and no one noticed him. "


    "You can try?" Luo Dongting straightened his body, but he also felt a wave of depression in the bottom of his heart. He knew that if his opponent were to use his full strength ¡­ He couldn''t accept it at all!


    Most likely, with just one move, he would be reduced to dust. Right now, he could only pray ¡­ The people from County Lord''s Mansion noticed this abnormality.


    After all, the man in front of him was using all his strength! Such a terrifying aura had a huge impact. It would only take a short amount of time before County Lord''s Mansion would know.


    "Try?" The man in black smiled. "I wonder what kind of background it is that you have the courage to do so?"


    Boom!


    Luo Dongting flew back dozens of meters without any warning! It violently collided with the wall. Even the wall caved in a little, causing a loud sound to ring out.


    One move, just one move!


    "Such trash. You''re courting death." He lightly glanced at Luo Dongting who had collapsed on the ground, and then the black clothed man''s gaze turned towards Hong Yang and Duan Yu: "You guys too, two pieces of trash ¡­ Should I do it, or will you guys do it yourselves? "


    Duan Yu''s expression was already deathly still. As for Hong Yang, he lowered his head, and continued to ponder.


    "If you don''t want to kill yourself, then I''ll do it!" The black clothed man''s eyes flashed with a hint of violence. He raised his palm once again and was about to strike it down.


    "Pill Explosion!"


    Just as he was about to hit the button, he heard another loud bang.


    "Boom, boom, boom, boom ~ ~ ~"


    His clothes were instantly torn apart! However, he reacted and quickly dodged to the side. Even so, that move just now had caused his body to be covered in blood.


    "You ¡­" He turned his head to look at the person who threw out the item. However, he was shocked to realize that it was Luo Dongting who had been dealt with by him with a single palm strike!


    Currently, the aura around Luo Dongting was no longer that of Earth Origin Stage, but that of fifth rank! He climbed down from the wall, looking to be in a very sorry state. However, those eyes were still crystal clear.

 C46

    "Your aura, how did it rise so fast!" That black-clothed man also lost control and shouted: "In an instant, it increased by two stars. "Impossible, impossible!"


    "Do you think that Pill Master only knows how to refine the most basic of healing medicine?" Luo Dongting smiled slightly, "Otherwise. Why do all those people at the seventh stage of Earth Origin Stage owe me a favor? "


    "Origin Explosion Pill!" The black clothed man finally understood why Luo Dongting''s aura had increased so greatly! He was instantly stunned on the spot: "You just consumed the Origin Explosion Pill!"


    The Origin Explosion Pill was an extremely terrifying type of medicinal pellet. It could greatly increase the strength of the consumer within four hours! To increase his strength by one to three star, that was truly terrifying!


    In Earth Origin Stage, the differentiation of each stage is extremely huge. After consuming the Origin Explosion Pill, he would be able to fight with opponents of high level! However, the only drawback was that after the incident, the side effects were very large.


    After consuming it, one would fall into the weakened period of Shi Chen for the twelve, as the cultivation would decrease greatly and then slowly recover. However, they weren''t able to recover to their peak condition. Those with bad luck might even fall a step or two.


    The effect of this pill on one''s natural talent in the future was extremely great.


    "You are, you want your future martial arts to no longer improve?" After the black clothed man had recovered from his shock, he continued to speak with a cold smile, "Your talent in the Martial Way, wasn''t high in the first place. If you consume this Origin Explosion Pill, I''m afraid you will be able to raise your fourth rank in your entire life. Whether or not you can attack the fifth rank is still a mystery. "


    "So what?" Luo Dongting smiled slightly: "If I don''t consume it, I would be beaten to death by you here. I don''t even have a future. I understand this choice. "


    The man in black suddenly laughed out loud, laughing extremely crazily. However, his eyes were still cold. "Understood? No, you will never understand. What you don''t understand is that even with Earth Origin Stage, you aren''t my match in a single move! "


    "Earth Origin Stage, still a piece of trash!"


    He raised his head and then suddenly jumped. He actually jumped seven or eight meters into the air! Following that, she rushed straight towards Luo Dongting.


    "Air piercing ability, eighth rank!?"


    Stunned, Luo Dongting''s expression changed from scorn to shock!


    This level was not something he could contend against!


    "Heaven Pill, Pill Explosion!"


    Luo Dongting bellowed, he did not run, but welcomed the attack! With a flip of his hand, four or five red circular objects appeared.


    He threw these five circular objects forward! Then he shouted, "Explode!"


    The five circular objects exploded with a loud bang! Even the strength of the black-robed man''s eighth rank had stopped. He released his Essence and began to defend.


    "Retreat!"


    Seeing the explosion, Luo Dongting also immediately turned and ran! If he were to fight in this courtyard, his opponent would be able to stay in the air for a short period of time, and he would not be able to do so.


    He had to go to the alleys outside in order to have a glimmer of hope!


    Those five pellets, each pellet was the equivalent of an attack from a Earth Origin Stage Ranker! Although he was not afraid of Earth Origin Stage at all. But five words in a row... He didn''t dare to attack them directly!


    At this moment, sparks lit up in the sky. It directly covered up the black-clothed man''s figure.


    "Hong Yang, take out the red pellets from the bag!" When Luo Dongting saw Hong Yang and Hong Yang, he suddenly remembered that there were two more Returning Origin Stage s here, and his heart tightened. "Inject the vital energy, and then throw it out immediately!"


    "Damn it."


    Although this Heaven Pill''s attack was only equivalent to sixth rank! But if he threw more, it would be enough to block for a while. Hong Yang was startled for a moment. After fumbling in the bag for a while, he also fished out a few red balls. with


    They quickly looked at each other! Then, Duan Yu took out a big arrow from his back and nocked it onto his bow. As for Hong Yang, he placed the five Heaven Pill s on the tip of the arrow.


    Star Moon Codex, Falling Moon Style!


    Duan Yu roared, and then he shot out his arrow! The moment Hong Yang shot out his arrow, the vitality in his hand also started to surge.


    Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, the third movement: Thunder Tremor!


    In the instant the arrow was released, Hong Yang also smashed the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder onto the arrow! The arrow was made of iron and could conduct electricity. For a moment, lightning crackled around the surface of the arrow.


    Although this scene could only last for an instant! But it was enough.


    The arrow was shot out in an instant! That black-clothed man had just escaped from Luo Dongting''s five Heaven Pill''s explosion. Then, he saw a large arrow flying towards him.


    "Just one Heaven Pill? "Pediatric child!"


    With a cold snort, his hand was immediately filled with Essence and he grabbed at it with his bare hands! However, in the moment they met, they suddenly felt that something was wrong.


    a little bit... A numb feeling?


    In the next second, the Heaven Pill was in his palm! The arrow tip that contained the lightning directly broke through his defenses!


    A few drops of blood were instantly left on his right hand, turning it into a bloody mess. This attack had already injured him.


    "Let''s go!"


    Luo Dongting arrived in front of Hong Yang and in a flash. Then, one in each hand, he carried them and ran!


    He had also personally witnessed the movements of Hong Yang and Duan Yu! Then, he heard the angry roar of the man in black behind him! He knew that if he didn''t leave now ¡­ He could only stay here forever!


    This battle had definitely attracted the attention of the County Lord''s Mansion. It would only take a few minutes for an expert from the County Lord''s Mansion to arrive here. They only needed to survive for a few minutes to have a chance at survival.


    He directly blasted open the door of the inn with his palm. Soon after, Luo Dongting brought the two of them and ran into the alley beside them.


    "He was actually injured by a Earth Origin Stage? Damn it, damn it!" The black-clothed man suddenly shouted in rage. Then, he continued to chase after Luo Dongting.


    Sky Roar!


    He didn''t spit out the name of the technique, but instead let out a loud roar. Following that, a voice that sounded like a tiger''s roar rang out from behind them!


    The windows along the street were shattered! Luo Dongting suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and directly threw Duan Yu and Hong Yang out. Then, he turned around and looked at everything in shock.


    The eighth rank, stood upright in the air! Although it was only for a brief moment, it was enough for him to look up.


    "Die, ant!"


    With a cold snort, he also directly and ruthlessly smashed down with his palm! Destination... It was Luo Dongting''s head.


    "Who dares to behave so atrociously in my Qingcheng County!"


    Just when Luo Dongting was about to close his eyes and wait for his death. A loud shout suddenly rang across the horizon!

 C47

    In this instant, Luo Dongting directly turned around and explosively retreated. That handprint also forcibly stopped above his head and did not fall down.


    "Ye Tianchen!" As he turned around, a grave expression appeared on his face.


    The aura of the person who had rushed over from the horizon was actually not inferior to his in the slightest, eighth rank.


    It was very obvious that those people belonged to the County Lord''s Mansion.


    "You were lucky enough to escape yesterday. "Who would have thought that you would come out and bounce around again today." The person in the sky also slowly descended and landed on a rooftop as he coldly stared at him.


    "So what?" You still can''t keep me here. "


    The black-clothed man looked at Ye Tianchen and sneered: "So what if you''re sealed? I can completely shatter the city walls and even fly out from the walls! "


    "If you fly out, do you think you''ll survive?" Ye Tianchen smiled slightly: "I am at the peak of the eighth rank, you have only entered this realm for less than a year! "If I wasn''t tied down in this city, I would have killed you no matter what!"


    "eighth rank, an existence that is a threat to the safety of the County Lord''s Mansion ¡­ We absolutely cannot let him stay. "


    What Ye Tianchen said was not wrong, the area of effect of eighth rank battles was extremely large. If they were to fight, although they would be fine, not a single one of them would stay behind.


    "So what?" The black-clothed man also stood proudly: "You and I are both of eighth rank, why should we care about these ants!"


    "I am a person of County Lord''s Mansion, you are not. You don''t have to care, but I do. " Ye Tianchen coldly snorted, "Although I don''t know where you''re from. But, they have truly provoked our County Lord''s Mansion and reported it to the Imperial Family. No matter what kind of sect you were born in, there will only be one death! "


    In the Empire''s royal family, where would there be a Sky Origin Stage expert? No matter which sect, they would not dare to provoke the Imperial Family. Otherwise, only death awaited him.


    "You escaped yesterday. Today, you will definitely not be able to leave. " Ye Tianchen still had a smile on his face: "If you don''t believe me, you can try. If you have two choices, either surrender or be captured by me. "


    "Is that so?" The man in black also stopped talking. His aura suddenly exploded, opposing Ye Tianchen from afar!


    Ye Tianchen did not move in the slightest but said in surprise, "Your right hand ¡­ "Are you hurt?"


    The man in black''s right hand was already badly mutilated. Although it wasn''t a big deal, the pain was suppressed with Essence. But he was hurt... It was true.


    Ye Tianchen looked at him, then looked at Hong Yang and the other two who were on the ground in shock, and then mocked: "Did they do it? Tsk tsk, a dignified eighth rank expert actually got injured by a Earth Origin Stage, and there are even two of them ¡­ Returning Origin Stage? "


    After he investigated the cultivation s of Hong Yang and Duan Yu, he finally laughed loudly, and with a stern expression, he said: "The eighth rank was injured by a person at the eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage. If I were you, I would have been dead by now. "


    "How dare you!" The black-clothed man finally couldn''t hold it in any longer. He rushed into the sky, the origin energy in his hands surging. It fiercely smashed towards Ye Tianchen.


    The two of them instantly became one. However, looking at his aura, it was clear that the black clothed man''s disordered aura had increased Ye Tianchen''s by another level.


    "Hurry up!" Luo Dongting reacted, he immediately swallowed a few pills to suppress the injuries on his body. Then, he grabbed the two who were stunned immediately and ran off into the distance.


    If he did not run now, under the battle of eighth rank, the surrounding houses would be destroyed. At that time, only death awaited him!


    Unknowingly, many people had arrived in this area. It was not the Black Armoured Army that Hong Yang had imagined. The strength of the Black Armoured Army was no different than cannon fodder in the face of such a battle between two strong practitioners.


    There were dozens of people around him, and all of them were Earth Origin Stage experts!


    Luo Dongting''s aura was already starting to become unstable. Although the effects of Origin Explosion Pill could be sustained for a long time. But previously, he was already severely injured, and adding the fact that his cultivation was already in the lower realms of Earth Origin Stage. Having broken through two stars in an instant, his body was unable to withstand it at all.


    If he had the time now, with the help of the pill, he might be able to dissolve it. However, there was still the battle of eighth rank behind them. There was simply no time to escape or even escape!


    "These people should know something. "Take him down!"


    After running only a few steps, he had just escaped the battlefield. Suddenly, a cold snort also flashed beside him.


    "People from the County Lord''s Mansion." Hong Yang retreated back as he glanced at Luo Dongting. The current Luo Dongting''s face was pale white, obviously showing that he had become much weaker. His aura also showed signs of regressing from his Earth Origin Stage.


    Under the current situation, even a single Earth Origin Stage could contend against him! His cultivation would regress by more than half, which meant ¡­ until it reached around Earth Origin Stage.


    Then, he slowly recovered step by step. No one knew what level he would be able to recover to ¡­


    Under this situation, they had no way of resisting! Luo Dongting looked at it, and directly fainted.


    The people from County Lord''s Mansion shouldn''t be able to harm him.


    When he woke up again, the sky was already bright. Outside, the sun was shining brightly. Clearly, it was already the afternoon.


    Nearly a day had passed since he had fainted. Beside him was a bed, on top of it was Duan Yu, still unconscious.


    That frightening pressure was simply too frightening. After circling around once, Luo Dongting was not here yet.


    Luo Dongting is Earth Origin Stage, and even more so, a fourth rank Pill Master! This level of strength was enough to draw the attention of Pine Wind County. Although the Essence within his body wasn''t abundant, it had somewhat recovered. After all, this was an independent repair of the origin energy, not a training exercise. Naturally, the recovery process wouldn''t be that fast.


    The people in the courtyard saw that they had woken up. He also notified her. They said that when Duan Yu also wakes up, there would be someone to lead them and make them meet with the princess face to face.


    His heart sank as he looked at the princess ¡­ He finally understood. The person who attacked them last night was the person who stole the County Lord''s Mansion the day before yesterday.


    eighth rank!


    He hadn''t thought that such a thing would happen to them. He was even more unable to imagine how he''d offended such an expert.


    Could it be, an enemy of the Pill Master''s Luo Family? Thinking about it, he shook his head. The black clothed man basically did not recognize Luo Dongting, and even if he had formed an enmity with the Pill Master''s Luo Family, there was no reason for him to secretly kill him within the Qingcheng County.


    And if it was Gu Changdong ¡­ It was hard for Hong Yang to believe that Gu Changdong would know such an expert.

 C48

    After thinking about it, Hong Yang decided to sit down and continue cultivating. It wasn''t until about two hours later that he finally felt the Essence in his body becoming abundant. When he opened his eyes, Duan Yu had just woken up.


    The two of them chatted for a while, but nothing happened. Thus, they heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he started to worry about Luo Dongting.


    Recalling back to that person just now, he had told the two of them to immediately head towards the County Lord''s Mansion Palace. Hong Yang also did not dare to slight them.


    The backpack was not here and should have been left in the inn. Beside Hong Yang, there were only a few pills that were kept close to him. Ye Zichen shook his head with a bitter smile. He could only go back to get it after this matter was over.


    Walking out of the room, he made some inquiries in all directions before arriving at the top of the hall. There were many people in the hall, after looking around, Luo Dongting was actually there as well. However, his face was pale and his breathing was unstable. It was obvious that he had just woken up.


    His strength should only have Earth Origin Stage s at this time. Furthermore, his aura was still slowly rising, so it shouldn''t be too difficult to reach the Earth Origin Stage. However, like before, there was no fate for him to be able to recover to the peak of Earth Origin Stage.


    The most important thing was Luo Dongting''s Inherent Skill would drop to a terrifying level! It was likely that this body would never be able to break through the Earth Origin Stage, and could only go up one level, to the extent of being extremely poor in the Earth Origin Stage.


    Above the great hall, two people stood side by side. One of them was the Ye Tianchen from yesterday! As for the other person, if cultivation Hong Yang was unable to detect him, then it would probably be Princess Qingcheng County.


    Ye Nantian.


    Ye Nanye was wearing a long robe with a folding fan. He was obviously dressed like a scholar. However, in his eyes, from time to time, a bright light would erupt. It was obvious that this was not something that a Confucian Scholar could possess.


    At the very least, on the surface, this Ye Nan Ye looked much more profound than Suo Qingqiu.


    "Did you catch the person from yesterday?" After a moment of silence, Hong Yang took the initiative to ask.


    "Not really. The two of them fought a great battle." "In the end, he was allowed to use a secret technique to escape." The two did not answer, but Luo Dongting walked over and said softly.


    At this time, Hong Yang finally realized. The expressions of the two people on the arena were terrifyingly gloomy.


    "What is your relationship with that man in black?" After thinking for a while, Ye Nantian asked.


    What relationship? With a bitter smile, Hong Yang''s heart was also gloomy. How would he know the relationship between the two of them? He had never seen such a powerful expert other than when he was at the Taiyi Sect, with the exception of a few elders.


    Pursing his lips, Hong Yang could only clasp his fist and reply truthfully: "I don''t know."


    "You don''t know?" After being stunned for a moment, Ye Nanye''s gaze became cold once more, "Could it be that you think a profound strength expert would randomly make a move against you two, who are waste of Returning Origin Stage?"


    When he directly said "trash", it also caused Hong Yang''s expression to instantly darken. However, he took a deep breath and didn''t say anything.


    Just like the black clothed man saying "ants", in front of the Earth Origin Stage experts, these two cultivation were indeed trash.


    Although Hong Yang did not dare to flare up, he did not give the other party any face at all. He still had the Black Army Medallion in his hand. There was no way that Ye Nanye would not recognize it.


    Although it wasn''t issued from his Qingcheng County in the end, he believed that with this medallion, the other party wouldn''t dare to rashly make a move on him.


    "Could it be that they came for Luo Family?" Ye Nanye cast his gaze towards Luo Dongting, "We cannot settle the grudge regarding Luo Family here. This is Qingcheng County, not your Pill Master''s Luo Family! "


    When those words came out, even Luo Dongting''s eyes turned dark and cold. Now, everyone could tell that this Ye Nanye was obviously shunning the responsibility.


    "Lord Princess." Hong Yang raised his head, looked straight at Ye Nanye, and said with a chuckle, "Then I don''t know whether that black-clothed man who charged into the County Lord''s Mansion and killed dozens of people the night before yesterday was doing it for me, or for Luo Dongting?"


    "You!" Ye Nanye felt annoyed for a while and then quickly calmed down, "You just entered the city in the evening of the day before yesterday! After that, something happened the night before yesterday ¡­ Last night, he went to kill the two of you for no apparent reason. Does that have anything to do with you? "


    The corner of Duan Yu''s mouth twitched, the ability to move around forcefully was not something that he could learn in a day and a night.


    Hong Yang took a step forward: "Because of my arrival, my County Lord''s Mansion was attacked? This seems to be... It doesn''t make sense. "


    Previously, he had also suspected countless times about the background of that man in black. However, many of his doubts were unfounded. In the end, he had to give up.


    And if they were here for Luo Dongting, then there was no need to make a move now.


    Furthermore, that black clothed man had also attacked the County Lord''s Mansion first! The matter of County Lord''s Mansion had nothing to do with them.


    Looking at the situation, Hong Yang also determined that the black clothed man should have had an ulterior motive. However, even if it was just a whim, there had to be a reason.


    An expert of the eighth rank wouldn''t casually find two people to practice with ¡­ Moreover, he had even attracted the likes of Ye Tianchen.


    Ye Nan Ye originally thought, other than Luo Dongting, if these two juniors were suppressed by Ye Tianchen''s aura, they would definitely be the ones who would take the blame. He didn''t expect them to be so tough. His face instantly turned black.


    "No matter what, this matter has to be related to you."


    A man on the side also frowned and softly shouted, "Since we are related, there is no need to escape. "Tell me everything you know."


    Hong Yang was startled, but after that, the smile on his face became even wider. He also took a step forward and was about to take out his black military order, "I am Pine Wind County ¡ª"


    "Forget it."


    Before he finished, Ye Nantian waved his hand, "You guys go. I need some time alone right now. "


    "Hmm?" Luo Dongting was startled, then his face revealed an expression of disbelief. Even the man who had spoken before asked in astonishment, "You''re going to let them go just like that?"


    Luo Dongting reacted and looked at Hong Yang. Hong Yang immediately pulled Duan Yu, and the three of them anxiously left the hall.


    If he didn''t leave now, Ye Nanye would change his mind later. That wouldn''t be fun. They also clearly felt that Ye Nanye was also hostile towards them.


    "Of course not." Watching the three of them leave, Ye Nantian gritted his teeth: "Ye Tianlin." You send someone to keep an eye on those two. Luo Dongting doesn''t need to be watched, he is a Pill Master of the fourth rank, so it is very easy to find him. "


    "Hmm?" After being stunned for a moment, Ye Tianchen let out a soft cry. He also knew that Luo Dongting was from the Luo Family, so he was naturally from Pill Master. However, fourth rank''s words were a bit unexpected.


    Unless a warrior was an entire realm higher than the other party, they would not be able to see the level of the Pill Master.


    Ye Nanye frowned. He had a plan in his mind.

 C49

    Exiting the County Lord''s Mansion, the two quickly returned to the inn. The inn had been destroyed in yesterday''s battle, but fortunately, there were few casualties.


    After taking their things and looking at the mess on the ground, they could only bitterly laugh. Now, he could only search for another residence.


    "Yesterday''s battle was truly exciting."


    "Yeah, it''s said that two eighth rank experts are fighting. "Tsk tsk tsk, that scene is really earth-shattering."


    "Two eighth rank s? Isn''t it true that only Master Ye Tianchen is an expert in Qingcheng County? Who else can compare to Master Ye Tianchen? "


    You don''t even know this? Yesterday, that man made a huge mess with his hands and gave Lord Ye Tian Chen a draw!" Lord Ye Tian Chen was already a famous expert. "To be able to fight him to a standstill, what else could a powerhouse like him be other than an Earthly Yuan Level 8?


    Everyone in the alleys was discussing this matter. This was the most formal version, and many others had made it up. There were countless numbers.


    "It''s actually eighth rank. This kind of strength, even if it''s our Luo Family, we won''t be able to take it out. " Walking on the street, Luo Dongting helplessly shook his head: "An expert of the eighth step, standing in midair, and just a step ahead would be the ninth step, and even a powerhouse at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage!"


    Hong Yang and Duan Yu were only at the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage. He thought about how he could still survive after being separated by an entire realm. In addition to their fear, the two of them also felt extremely fortunate.


    "Hm." Hong Yang frowned, he had wanted to say something. They saw Luo Dongting suddenly bend over in pain, and following that, his entire body began to tremble violently.


    "Senior Dongting!" Hong Yang cried out in alarm, and immediately took out a few pills from his bag in a fluster, wanting to give it to him to consume. Before he could take out the pill, a series of crackling sounds came out from Luo Dongting''s body.


    Immediately afterwards, his aura abruptly broke through from the Earth Origin Stage to the Earth Origin Stage! After that, his recovered strength did not increase any further, and stopped at the early stage of Earth Origin Stage.


    "Senior, you ¡­" Seeing the change in Luo Dongting, Duan Yu was also shocked. "Your strength ¡­"


    Luo Dongting had originally been at the pinnacle of Earth Origin Stage, so he only needed to have some mental state comprehension to once again advance! But now, it had fallen into the early stages of third rank.


    Hong Yang stopped what he was doing and also sighed. This was just one of the reasons. He knew how important talent was to a martial artist. If he did not have this great fortuitous encounter in the future, Luo Dongting''s cultivation would probably have to stop at this point.


    "Cough cough, no harm done." The pain stopped, and Luo Dongting casually performed a bit of waist: "cultivation s can continuously accumulate, and their Earth Origin Stage s are already sufficient. I''ve never wanted to make a big breakthrough in my life on this path of martial dao. "


    He also took a few pills from the stunned Hong Yang, and said: "Although I am a cultivation, I am afraid I have stopped here. However, Pill Master''s cultivation was not heavily injured! In the future, he would only attack Pill Master. it might even be possible for him to break through to the Pill Master s. "


    The light in his eyes didn''t diminish in the slightest. In the entire Luo Family of the, only the Grand Elder had reached that level! Luo Dongting knew his own talent. If he did not have the shackles of the martial way, and instead focused on cultivating his Pill Master, there was still a trace of hope.


    "Those pills ¡­" After lightly sighing in admiration, Hong Yang suddenly thought of something and asked: "Last night, what rank were those red pellets used against the black-clothed man that could have harmed him?"


    Deep curiosity toward the Pill Master surfaced in the bottom of Hong Yang''s heart. No matter if it was in Hong Castle, or in profound strength, there was no Pill Master that belonged to them. He knew very little about this industry.


    "Each Origin Explosion Pill, after exploding, would be equivalent to an attack from a Earth Origin Stage Ranker." Luo Dongting smiled slightly: "fourth rank Pills, are only very low level fourth rank pills. If you give me enough time and materials. Refining four or five pills a day is not a difficult thing. "


    4-5 pills! He had thrown out seven or eight of those red pellets yesterday. Its might was so terrifying, it could even harm someone with eighth rank! Unexpectedly, Luo Dongting did not even manage to produce all these within two days.


    He didn''t even dare to think about this before, so he directly blew up an expert of eighth rank to death.


    "That''s why sometimes Pill Master is even more difficult to kill than warriors." Seeing the doubt on Hong Yang''s face, Luo Dongting also explained, "Perhaps, their own cultivation s aren''t high. However, if he had sufficient pills, he would be able to increase his strength by one or two levels. Even the possibility of a level up challenge is not impossible! "


    Cross-Level Challenge... For example, Luo Dongting. Using medicinal pellets to increase the strength of two stages, and then using those red "Heaven Pill s", could even harm someone''s eighth rank to such an extent.


    If it wasn''t for the abnormal breakthrough in eighth rank, "floating in the air", changing to another level, for example, Earth Origin Stage versus Earth Origin Stage, it might have been possible for him to not win.


    Then, if Luo Dongting were to throw out several dozen or so at once, wouldn''t he be able to kill the other party instantly?


    Hong Yang suddenly having such a thought startled him. A moment later, he slowly spoke out his thoughts.


    "Hahahaha." Luo Dongting suddenly laughed loudly: "If it really was like that, I would have kept several hundred Heaven Pill on me long ago. If they were thrown out together, even Sky Origin Stage experts would only be able to dodge the blade for now. "


    "However, this is impossible." With a sudden change in topic, Luo Dongting spoke with a heavy tone, "The production rate of four or five pellets a day is already my limit. After refining for one day, he would need to rest for three days to recover. Unless it''s some kind of low-level healing medicine, you can mass-produce it. "


    Hong Yang''s face also revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Originally, he thought that it was only because of the Pill Master''s huge network that many people did not dare to touch him. From the looks of it, some of the Pill Master s with deep roots, and even warriors could not defeat them.


    After all, for existences like them with Returning Origin Stage, if they suddenly threw out an attack that was as strong as Earth Origin Stage, they would definitely be caught off guard.


    Their Hong Castle also contained the existence of Pill Master s, but out of hundreds of people in the same generation, only two or three existed. And in a clan like Luo Family, almost half of the clan members were Pill Master. Terrifying.


    The Pill Master''s Luo Family indeed lived up to its reputation. An existence that even the County Lord''s Mansion did not dare offend.

 C50

    Duan Yu, who was at the side, also heard it vaguely, and he felt that he was lost in thought. At the level of the Pill Master s, there was not a single person with Star Moon Sect. This was too far away for him.


    But now, what Luo Dongting had said completely overturned his knowledge! A Returning Origin Stage expert could casually rely on pills to erupt with a Earth Origin Stage attack? Before him, this was almost impossible to imagine! However, the truth was right in front of his eyes.


    Everything that happened last night, combined with what Luo Dongting said just now, had completely overturned his knowledge. The experiences he had during these two days were even more than the times he had spent cultivating within his Star Moon Sect.


    He thought for a while and changed the topic, "Speaking of which, who exactly is that man in black? None of us seem to have provoked such an existence. "


    "Speaking of which, that last roar from that man in black made me feel a faint sense of familiarity." Hong Yang frowned.


    "Familiar?"


    "Yes." Hong Yang muttered to himself for a good twenty minutes before saying: "One day, I accidentally stumbled upon Gu Changdong cultivating. He seems to be practicing a sonic wave cultivation technique, but the sound he makes is like that of a cat''s, and he doesn''t have the feeling of a tiger''s roar at all. "


    "Sonic Wave Art ¡­" Luo Dongting also said, "Xinghai also practiced this cultivation method. However, his cultivation technique could only cause a short moment of absent-mindedness. And that black clothed man, has also gained a substantial killing power. "


    "This means that the two are not the same sonic wave cultivation technique." Hong Yang frowned, "But in this world, sound techniques are extremely rare! In addition, the two cultivation techniques were both grand offensive attacks. With these two points, it is almost certain that the two of them come from the same sect. "


    Now, they could also determine that these two things had nothing to do with Star Moon Sect! The sect master of the Star Moon Sect had also just closed up to attack the sixth rank. To be able to compete with an expert of this level of eighth rank, it was practically impossible.


    "That''s true. Gu Changdong, or perhaps the power behind Gu Changdong, should be related to this Star Moon Sect in a cooperative manner."


    Cold sweat instantly emerged on Duan Yu''s forehead. He also understood the sequence of events of the matter. This matter, the grand secret behind it, it was most likely beyond their imagination.


    "Have you heard of any sect that Gu Changdong has visited?" After being stunned for a while, Luo Dongting asked as well, "You have been at the Ningyang City with him for quite a while, so you should know some things."


    "I don''t know. Gu Changdong only has the strength at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage, and he doesn''t know many cultivation methods either. I''ve never heard of any sect being present at all." With a bitter laugh, Hong Yang could only reply: "I also don''t know which sect he is from. But from the looks of it, this sect is definitely not within the Pine Wind County. "


    The three of them were silent. Now, all the clues were gone. Even if there were more clues, he wouldn''t dare to provoke them.


    eighth rank! If they met each other next time, they wouldn''t be as lucky as they were this time around. If it were not for them delaying as long as possible, the effects of the Origin Explosion Pill and the Heaven Pill would have ¡­ That black clothed man only needed a single slap to kill them all.


    Two of them were at the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage and one of them was injured as a result of their combined efforts! If word of this got out, it would cause a huge sensation.


    "What should I do next?" Duan Yu was gloomy, but after that he laughed bitterly: "Even if the clues are cut off, we cannot investigate it. Where are we going next? "


    Initially, they had all thought that this was something that Gu Changdong or Star Moon Sect would do as they drooled over the Sky Dragon Dagger. No one would have thought that there would actually be such a great power backing them, to the point where they even had experts of the eighth rank.


    "Let''s go back first." Luo Dongting said: "For this matter, we have already done our best. When the city opens three days later, let''s go back. "


    "Are we just going to give up like that?" "An unreconciled look appeared in Hong Yang''s eyes. How do you expect me to explain this to Luo Qingyao? "


    "Of course I can''t give up like this." Luo Dongting also revealed a rare hint of violence, "When I return, I will immediately report this to family head. Then, the family head would use the name of Luo Family to announce the order to kill everyone on this continent! This matter absolutely cannot end here. "


    Luo Family was not only a part of the Pine Wind County, in the nearby Qingcheng County, even in the entire Youzhou region, it possessed a great influence.


    Once this killing order was issued, even if it was an expert with Sky Origin Stage, they would have to flee. Luo Family enjoyed a lot of reputation within the Medicinal Family.


    "Yes." Be quiet for a few days. Three days later, when the city gates open, the first thing we will do is return home. "


    After making up their minds, they found another place to stay. Without money on him, he could use the most basic healing medicine to replace it. Pills were also a hard currency on the continent.


    Back in the room. Luo Dongting immediately swallowed a few pills and started cultivating with all his might. His realm was not stable yet. What he needed to do now was to do his best to recover as much strength as possible in this realm that was moving up and down.


    Hong Yang and Duan Yu also gained some insights after seeing the battles of the eighth rank Warriors.


    "That tiger roar ¡­" Hong Yang sat on the bed, forming a hand seal for cultivation, but did not immediately enter into a meditative state: "Sound wave cultivation technique, can actually be so terrifying?"


    In this instant, he thought of his own Three Styles of Wind and Thunder! When the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder was used, there would also be the sound of strong wind and thunder.


    Originally, this sound of wind and thunder would have been detected by the opponent ahead of time! If it was a person with keen perception, they would even be able to determine their path ahead of time and dodge them.


    This was also what had always troubled Hong Yang. Now, within the Returning Origin Stage, it was not obvious. If he were to step into the Earth Origin Stage in the future, then this Three Styles of Wind and Thunder would become extremely useless.


    However, if those sounds of wind and thunder were turned into a sound technique, then it would be completely different! During battle, it could also attract the attention of people and make them afraid. If this was the case, the power of this technique would be greatly increased.


    His weak spot had been changed into a special spot! If it was truly changed, then this Three Styles of Wind and Thunder would be able to completely step into the realm of a second-grade cultivation technique.


    Furthermore, with the experience of the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao, as long as they had an idea, it was not impossible! This was also Hong Yang''s greatest foundation.


    He had changed a high grade three martial skill into a second grade. If word of this got out, there would probably be a whole bunch of people staring at him.


    Without further ado, he immediately sat down cross-legged. With a thought, he began calculating in his mind.

 C51

    The howl of the black-clothed man was extremely similar to the roar of a tiger. However, compared to the roar of a tiger, the sound of thunder could only surpass it!


    Hong Yang kept thinking, and kept thinking of ways. However, there was nothing he could do when he thought hard.


    This tiger''s roar must have been made from medicine soaked in one''s throat. Only after cultivating for many years would one be able to withstand it.


    As for his Sonic Thunderstorm, although it was powerful and majestic, it was completely unable to achieve that effect! Even if he increased his elemental energy, he could only raise his voice.


    Zhang Xuan harrumphed. Since he was able to raise the volume of the voice, he might as well give it a try! In the depths of his heart, after he finished his calculations, he suddenly opened his eyes.


    Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, the third movement: Thunder Tremor!


    Loud thunderclaps were produced from his hands, and a slight bolt of lightning rumbled out, striking directly at the window! Then, with a loud crash ¡­ The windows were also directly shattered.


    Naturally, he did not dare to use the full version to shock the heavens. Otherwise, this entire room would have been ruined beyond belief.


    The clap of thunder seemed to have exploded in his ears, appearing unusually loud! Hong Yang was also shocked. After a moment, he calmed down and slowly shook his head.


    Although the voice was loud, it was only a fright. It was impossible to achieve such a shocking goal ¡­


    More importantly, that sound had consumed half of his Essence! It was useless to waste so much energy just to get a tangible effect.


    "This won''t do, the effect of agitating the heavens and shaking the earth is too overbearing. "Although the attack power is strong, the duration is too short ¡­" After a brief summary, Hong Yang also slowly shook his head, extremely dissatisfied with the effect this time.


    With a flick of his mind, he focused his attention on the roaring of the wind and the rumbling of thunder. The Wind Chilling Thunder did not increase its power by much, but in terms of increasing its speed, it was the largest among the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder.


    In addition, the thunder and lightning also consumed very little energy! With Hong Yang''s current strength, it was already enough to last for seven to eight minutes. If he were to go all out, he could even maintain it for more than ten minutes!


    Would it be better if it was the sound of thunder? Although its might was not great, it could at least interfere with the minds of others and increase the distance between them!


    Thinking of this, a method of creating a thunderstorm immediately evolved in his mind. Just as he was about to improve, he suddenly thought of something.


    Lightning wood was originally formed from righteous energy, so it naturally had the ability to draw attention to oneself and cause people to tremble with fear! Before this, he had only failed to comprehend it ¡­


    The two elements of wind and thunder, one was the most free element in nature, the other was the most righteous and most berserk element! It shouldn''t be difficult to create such an effect from the combination of the two.


    Closing his eyes, he did some mental calculations. He opened his eyes and moved his body.


    Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, first move: Thunderclap!


    His speed, had almost already reached the top of the ninth stage of the Returning Origin Stage! Just a tiny bit more and you would be able to reach the level of Peak of Returning Origin Stage.


    However, Hong Yang was still not satisfied. He helplessly shook his head and displayed his body once more. The sound of wind and thunder slowly died down.


    Just like this, he executed it more than ten times, each time with a new difference! After training for six full hours, it finally stopped.


    Because he ¡­ I found what I wanted.


    Looking at the sky, it was already night. Luo Dongting had long since woken up, and Duan Yu was the same, still immersed in cultivation.


    Seeing Hong Yang''s arrival, Duan Yu himself was at the end of his cultivation. At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes and stretched lazily. Crackling sounds came from his entire body.


    "Hmm?" Seeing this, Hong Yang was surprised: "Your aura, has already reached the pinnacle?"


    Duan Yu also noticed the strangeness of his body and immediately exclaimed in joy, "It should be right! Now that he had gathered Qi and tempered his body, he had reached that level. As long as I can cultivate it one day and enter the state of mind, I will be able to advance! "


    Hong Yang was naturally a little happy as well. He had the experience of the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao, so it was natural that he could get what he wanted easily. Under the Sky Origin Stage, as long as one''s body tempering and qi gathering reached the standard, one could easily advance to the next level.


    However, a character was something that could only be understood and not spoken, he could not teach Duan Yu anything. He could only rely on himself to break through.


    "Then why don''t we go out and have another match?" After Duan Yu advanced, he was naturally overjoyed as well. "Last time at the Yuannan City, you faced two of us single-handedly, still unable to defeat them! This time, I will definitely wash away my shame. "


    Hong Yang looked at the courtyard and said: "You can try."


    Luo Dongting was not here, but they just needed to be a little more obedient in the next few days, and they should be fine! As for Hong Yang, he also really wanted to give the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder a try.


    The two of them had made a breakthrough. A spar would be of great benefit to the subsequent cultivation of the martial way.


    Arriving at the courtyard, the two of them looked at each other. In the end, it was Duan Yu who made the first move.


    Star Moon Scripture, Meteorite!


    The long sword danced as it gathered to form a giant wheel. And on the wheel, two balls formed from white vital energy, suddenly flew towards Hong Yang after taking shape.


    As he slightly focused his eyes, the corner of Hong Yang''s mouth suddenly curled up into a faint smile. Looking at the two incoming white balls, he didn''t use any martial skills. Instead, he directly threw a punch towards them.


    Such a simple move had greatly increased his vigilance! Anyone could tell that this move was one of the lowest ranked moves in the Star Moon Scripture.


    If that was the case, Duan Yu would definitely have some tricks up his sleeve.


    He directly sent a fist out to meet it. Hong Yang suddenly struck out with his left hand towards the sky!


    Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, second style ¨C Thunderstorm Roar!


    A burst of white light suddenly exploded in the air, directly colliding with Hong Yang''s rolling wind and thunder! Hong Yang immediately retreated two steps, and Duan Yu flew out as well.


    Although he had taken two steps back, Hong Yang''s eyes did not show the slightest sign of retreat. As he opened his eyes, a pair of Yuan Power erupted from his hands.


    Thunder rumbled in the wind!


    In that instant, Duan Yu suddenly heard the sound of wind and thunder between his ears! This made him, who was preparing to take the next step, suddenly stop. And at this time, Hong Yang had already arrived in front of him.


    Extending out a pair of hands, Duan Yu regained his senses. It was already too late to stop them. He could only dodge to the side in a hurry. He was shocked!


    Boom!


    Duan Yu''s shoulder suddenly took Hong Yang''s palm solidly. He was pushed back dozens of steps until he hit the wall. Only then did he stop.

 C52

    Hong Yang saw Duan Yu''s entire person collide into the wall, and immediately regained his senses. Hurriedly walking forward, he swallowed a few pills.


    He was very clear about the power of his palm strike. Even though he hadn''t used his technique, it was still a palm full of Essence Qi.


    After careful examination, it was fortunate that martial dao practitioners were often injured from sparring. As long as his meridians were not injured, everything would be fine. After consuming a few medicinal pellets, Duan Yu''s complexion looked much better.


    "Brother Hong Yang." After waiting for his aura to calm down, Duan Yu opened his mouth and asked: "The last move you used, Wind blew and thunder, why do I feel different from before?"


    In that instant, he lost his mind! The power of the wind and thunder was self-evident.


    Hong Yang stood up, and laughed: You just watch and see.


    After saying that, his figure also exploded in a flash! Essence energy was stimulated as it continuously gushed out.


    And what was even more terrifying was that although the sound of those wind and thunder were not loud, when Duan Yu heard them, it sounded like thunder in his ears! After a minute or so, he actually felt a chill in his heart and unconsciously took a step back.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    When he noticed it, he immediately felt a chill down his spine! He hurriedly took this step back. However, even if he stepped back, he couldn''t recover the mentality he had in his heart.


    Five minutes later, Hong Yang finished his display of Wind and Thunder. He was drenched in sweat, and even his breathing had become heavier.


    "This, this is ¡­"


    Hong Yang smiled slightly, "Brother Duan, there is no need to be shocked. I have only improved it slightly in order to strengthen the Sound of Wind and Thunder. "


    "Improve my cultivation technique!" Hearing that, Duan Yu immediately turned pale with fright: "Isn''t that something only Sky Origin Stage Warriors can do?"


    Naturally, Hong Yang would not tell them about the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao. The strength of these two people in their lives far surpassed even that of Sky Origin Stage experts!


    As for improving one''s cultivation technique, it was not based on one''s strength, but on one''s comprehension of martial arts. Usually, only Sky Origin Stage experts would be able to accomplish such a thing. This was naturally because they, as Sky Origin Stage experts, had a far greater understanding of the martial way than any other Earth Origin Stage practitioner.


    But Hong Yang was different. In his mind, he knew about the pinnacle of martial intent! As long as he had a plan in his mind, it was natural that he would succeed. However, because of the limitations of his strength, he could only improve some of his third-grade techniques. Even if it were a rank 2 Magus, it would be as difficult as ascending the heavens.


    "Of course not. This thing, sometimes it all depends on luck. It was only due to luck that I managed to encounter such a fortuitous opportunity. " Naturally, Hong Yang could only laugh in front of him to fool around.


    The Three Styles of Wind and Thunder that was modified, already stood at the peak of the third grade cultivation technique! However, there was still a huge gap in the strength of second-grade cultivation techniques.


    However, Hong Yang was confident that he would be able to fight against a powerhouse of the ninth stage of the Returning Origin Stage with his current strength. Even if it was his Peak of Returning Origin Stage, he could still fight!


    As for Duan Yu, those cultivation techniques were only at the middle grade of the third grade. However, the Falling Moon Style was a genuine peak of the third grade! Hong Yang really wanted to know what would happen if he were to face the Falling Moon Style head on with his shocking thunder.


    Of course, this was temporarily impossible. If he were to use it here, it was likely that the entire inn would be destroyed.


    "The day after tomorrow is the fourth day. If the city gate is open, we will immediately leave. " After inspecting Duan Yu''s injuries again and confirming that there were no problems, Hong Yang finally heaved a sigh of relief as he slowly said.


    Along the way, although they did not catch Gu Changdong, they had already reaped quite a bountiful harvest. Furthermore, he would have the Luo Family to intercept him when he returned, and his chances of that would be even higher!


    This was not retreat and escape, but a wise move. After all, eighth rank was a realm that they still had to look up to and it was impossible to touch.


    Even if they only had one finger left, it was enough to kill them all! An expert of eighth rank was this terrifying.


    "This time when I return, if I am able to surpass the eighth rank, I will definitely be annihilated!"


    He secretly swore, but he couldn''t help but laugh bitterly in his heart. If he was able to reach the eighth rank in his lifetime, it would be considered as having sufficient talent. Perhaps that was after fifty years of age.


    He only felt depressed in his heart, he had let Luo Qingyao down, he had let down the Taiyi Sect, he had let down his master Ma Chengfeng.


    However, he could only silently endure all of this.


    On the second day, Hong Yang woke up around five o''clock. His understanding of the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder deepened.


    Following that, he also awakened Luo Dongting who was at the end of his cultivation, and showed him once. After the latter finished reading, he also repeatedly exclaimed in admiration.


    Following that, Luo Dongting gave him a few pointers in a few crucial points. Although Luo Dongting was a Pill Master, he had also stepped into the Earth Origin Stage realm for a long time. Hong Yang had benefited from a few things.


    He walked out the door and headed for the market. They also wanted to gather some rations to use as camping materials when they returned.


    "Let go!"


    As he was walking out of the market, a girl''s voice suddenly rang out.


    In a small alley beside the market, several burly men suddenly dragged a girl. The girl''s voice sounded familiar.


    The bottom of his heart moved slightly. Hong Yang quickly recognized that it was the girl he met in the Yuannan City Market.


    Duan Yu''s expression was also extremely gloomy. Back then, it was him and his fellow Junior Brother who had stolen the Origin Condensation Pills from the other party''s hands. But now, it was someone else ¡­


    Plus, he had been caught.


    But in the bottom of Hong Yang''s heart, he didn''t think this way. Unexpectedly, that girl''s home, should also be at Qingcheng County.


    He never thought that she would actually go to the Yuannan City tens of thousands of miles to buy medicinal pellets just for her little brother. The girl looked to be only eighteen or nineteen, and her Returning Origin Stage was also considered to be quite a gift.


    Thinking about it, Hong Yang and the other two also walked forward. Very quickly, those burly men also discovered Hong Yang''s existence.


    When they saw Hong Yang and Duan Yu, their faces revealed ridicule. But when he saw Luo Dongting, his expression became serious.


    Luo Dongting released his aura, and said after a while: "Peak of Returning Origin Stage. The person in the lead should be Earth Origin Stage. "


    When those Peak of Returning Origin Stage s saw Hong Yang and Duan Yu, they naturally had faces full of disdain. However, when he saw Luo Dongting, his face turned serious.


    Luo Dongting laughed bitterly. Although he had already recovered his Earth Origin Stage, it was not convenient for him to take action.


    After all, his cultivation base wasn''t stable yet. If he were to rashly make a move and drop a level or two afterwards, it wouldn''t be fun.


    He had originally planned to not make a move for the next few days. Once he returned to the Pine Wind County of the, he could then entrust the family head s with raising his own talent to the greatest extent. However, from the looks of it now, he was not going to make a move ¡­ It seemed impossible.

 C53

    "Who are you?" The other side stopped what he was doing, looked at Luo Dongting and said: "I advise you not to interfere in this matter. Otherwise, even if you are a Earth Origin Stage expert, you can only fly into the sky and perish! "


    Although he could not see Luo Dongting''s true strength clearly, it should only be his Earth Origin Stage. And the person behind him, was obviously at the early stage of Earth Origin Stage as well.


    Among them, there was the aura of a ruffian. As for the person in the lead, he had the aura of a scholar. However, the coldness in his eyes didn''t match with his temperament.


    Seeing that, Duan Yu understood. Growing up within the Star Moon Sect, he naturally knew the attitude of those who had backers behind them.


    Wasn''t he the same back then?


    "To attack a girl in broad daylight, how can that make sense?" Duan Yu glanced at him, and then said two words: "Idiot."


    The Earth Origin Stage man leading the group, upon hearing Duan Yu''s words, also had a dark and cold expression. "What did you say? There''s no need for you to care what I, Ye Nanlu, does for. "


    When Duan Yu said this, there were naturally some. Yesterday, Luo Dongting gave each of them a total of three pellets, which were slightly red in color. If it exploded, it would be equivalent to an attack from a Earth Origin Stage Ranker.


    Their strongest warriors, were merely at Earth Origin Stage. The gap between him and the man in black was not small at all.


    Ye Nanlu obviously had some brains. He also could not see through Luo Dongting''s cultivation. Although it had a powerful background, he did not dare act rashly.


    In the past, he had met many people who thought they were heroes to save the beauty. They were naturally slapped away by him or scared off after hearing about his background. But this time, his intuition told him that it was not so simple.


    When the girl saw Hong Yang, her face lit up. However, when he saw Duan Yu again, he had a strange expression.


    Naturally, she recognized Duan Yu as one of the two people who had snatched the Origin Condensation Pill from her inside the Yuannan City back then. His junior brother had been killed by Xiao Wucheng, but now, he was walking together with Hong Yang.


    A few questions surfaced in the girl''s eyes. However, she then pursed her lips. Right now, the biggest problem was how to overcome this current crisis.


    Looking at the girl''s anxious expression, Hong Yang understood from the bottom of his heart that his little brother might not have much time left. And she, he had probably just arrived at this Qingcheng County.


    He, Luo Dongting, and Duan Yu were naturally fast horses, but the girl in front of them was only able to walk towards them. Their natural speed was more than two times slower than theirs.


    This Qingcheng County was naturally not something that Yuannan City could compare to. To be able to have a background within it, he would surely not lack a mere Origin Condensation Pill.


    If that was the case, it should be because of that girl''s beauty. In fact, the girl looked pretty. Although she couldn''t compare to Luo Qingyao, she could still be considered as delicate and pretty.


    "Work?" Hong Yang also looked at him as if he were an idiot: "I really don''t know how you could say something that goes against the conscience."


    When he said that, it went against his conscience, causing Ye Nanlu to immediately fly into a rage. He naturally did this, but when had anyone ever accused him like this?


    "The last one said so, his body should have been corroded by now." He said coldly, "Zhang Qi, kill him!"


    Luo Dongting had just taken a step back, obviously showing no intention of attacking. It was a pleasant surprise to him, so he didn''t have to worry about it.


    The man called Zhang Qi directly flashed out as well. Beside the Earth Origin Stage man stood two burly men.


    Within Hong Yang''s eyes, the expression became serious as well. Although his speed was close to that of the Peak of Returning Origin Stage! However, it was only speed. In every other way, it was inferior.


    They exchanged glances with Duan Yu, even though there was an entire two realms difference between their realms! However, there were two of them, and both of them were extraordinary. To be honest... It wasn''t like there was no chance of victory!


    Heavenly Demon Palm!


    Zhang Qi naturally followed Ye Nanlu''s orders. His attack was extremely vicious and did not give the two of them a chance to live.


    Although they couldn''t just casually kill someone, they could still cripple half of them. As a result, he did not hide anything when he attacked.


    Hong Yang''s mind moved, he immediately dodged to the side. His speed far exceeded that of an ordinary person''s, but this time, Zhang Qi ignored it. He actually missed.


    "Hmm?" Zhang Qi''s expression instantly turned serious. "How can your speed be so fast?"


    Hong Yang smiled slightly, without replying, his figure exploded once again! And this time, it actually had a thunderous sound to it.


    Even Zhang Qi was momentarily dazed! When he finally reacted, his heart was already filled with shock!


    Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, the third movement: Thunder Tremor!


    Zhang Qi was so shocked that he could only hurriedly send a palm up.


    When the two palms collided, Zhang Qi let out a grunt and took a few steps back! As for Hong Yang, he was also forced to retreat seven or eight steps in a row.


    The two were actually evenly matched!


    Hong Yang''s heart was also filled with shock, his strongest move, was actually only evenly matched with the opponent.


    Although he had a solid foundation, he didn''t know many martial arts techniques. This was his last trump card.


    Star Moon Codex, Falling Moon Style!


    The sudden attack directly struck Zhang Qi''s back! As for Zhang Qi, he had no time to dodge at all.


    Boom!


    Duan Yu was at the peak of the eighth stage of Returning Origin Stage, and the Falling Moon Style was a genuine peak of the third stage cultivation technique. With this, even if it was a Peak of Returning Origin Stage Ranker, he would not be able to take it head-on.


    Ah!


    Zhang Qi was hit and was sent flying four to five meters away, crashing into the wall. Hong Yang''s figure also flashed, the power of wind and lightning once again raged, and she instantly appeared in front of Zhang Qi.


    Naturally, he would not have the intention to kill. Just like with those thieves in the past... However, for such people, the necessary punishment was still necessary. If he didn''t leave any traces, he would never restrain himself!


    "How dare you!"


    Seeing that, Ye Nanlu could no longer hold it in. He immediately flew forward and completely displayed the strength of his Earth Origin Stage.


    Just as Hong Yang dodged to Zhang Qi''s side, he saw Ye Nanlu flying over. In a moment of desperation, he had no way to escape.


    His speed may have been comparable to Peak of Returning Origin Stage. However, in the face of a Earth Origin Stage expert, he was still like an ant, with not a single possibility.


    Gritting his teeth, he could only take out a light red Heaven Pill from his bag in that instant. As the Essence Qi entered his body, it was suddenly thrown over!


    Ye Nanlu didn''t mind as he received the light red Heaven Pill. Then he sneered and was about to throw it away.


    However, in the next second, his expression immediately changed greatly!

 C54

    Hong Yang took a step forward, and indicated towards the bed with his mouth: "Look for yourself."


    The man was shocked, and then he saw Ling Cheng who was lying on the bed, his aura already stabilising. Overjoyed, he suddenly threw himself over, but once again stood at the side, at a loss of what to do.


    Ling Ling Ling also looked at this man and recounted what had happened earlier. Until he broke out in cold sweat and began to tremble.


    The man''s name was Ling Yi, Returning Origin Stage. Relying on this little bit of cultivation, he made a living outside the city.


    "You, you are actually the person who met City Lord''s Mansion?"


    The man was immediately shocked. Immediately, he quickly stepped forward and carefully observed his daughter. Only after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the latter did he heave a sigh of relief.


    "Help your brother up and get ready to move." Sighing, Ling Yi said: "In half a day, that Ye Nanlu will definitely come back."


    Ye Nanlu, Ye Nan Ye. Obviously, they all knew who this person was ¡­


    "Let''s talk." Ling Yi looked at Luo Dongting. Luo Dongting was the oldest of the three, and appeared to be the most unfathomable. The two of them walked out, and Hong Yang followed along.


    "That Ye Nanlu, is he from the City Lord''s Mansion?" Hong Yang walked to the center of the courtyard and asked aloud, "It''s really hard to imagine that someone with City Lord''s Mansion would actually do something like this."


    "Everyone in the city has heard of his actions. I presume you two are outsiders. " Ling Yi replied, "If it''s an outsider. "We''ll leave as soon as we open the city tomorrow."


    "Hmm?"


    Although Hong Yang and the rest had the same plan, hearing Ling Yi''s words, he became more interested and asked: "Why? Could it be that Ye Nanlu will bring his men back? "


    "None of the people he has his eyes on can escape." Ling Yi shook his head: "And he''s one of the City Lord''s Mansion. Once, in order to catch a girl, he actually used a third rank expert."


    Hong Yang''s eyes slightly narrowed: "Even Ye Nanye didn''t stop it?"


    Seeing that Hong Yang was actually calling out the city master''s full name, Ling Yi was also a bit helpless: "In City Lord''s Mansion, Ye Nanlu also has a position. Besides, Ye Nanye would surely let him go.


    Hong Yang was stunned, and his attitude towards Ye Nanye instantly dropped to ice. As the lord of a city, it was naturally taboo to practice favoritism as a man.


    "I will also find a place to hide for a while. After I leave the city tomorrow, I will stay in the outskirts of the city." This city is too dangerous. " Ling Yi turned around with a wry smile, and said with a kind voice: "Since these three people are from the other counties, they will be fine after we leave." That Ye Nanlu is also chasing after the people from another county is not simple, what''s more for this small matter. "


    Hong Yang''s heart skipped a beat. He had the black order, although it was useless in the Qingcheng County, it was still enough to protect his life. Naturally, he didn''t have to worry.


    "If we live in the suburbs, what about my cultivation?" Ling Ling Ling''s voice came from inside the room, "If I were to move to the outskirts of the city, then I probably wouldn''t be able to improve by much in the next four to five years by relying on my own cultivation."


    Luo Dongting glanced at Ling Ling. This woman''s talent was outstanding, if she had the time, stepping into the Earth Origin Stage before the age of thirty shouldn''t be a difficult matter.


    When Ling Yi heard this, he was put in a difficult position. In this world where martial dao was respected, there were naturally all sorts of martial arts schools. If he left, then he would only be able to take the sixth or seventh stage of the Returning Origin Stage for the rest of his life.


    Although he was at the sixth or seventh level of the Returning Origin Stage, which was not bad, and even within the Black Armoured Army, he could win against any hundred households! However, in front of a true Earth Origin Stage Ranker, he was like an ant, unable to withstand a single blow.


    "I have a place to go, I wonder if it''s okay?" After thinking for a moment, Hong Yang looked at Duan Yu who had just came out, "At the intersection between Pine Wind County, there is a sect called Star Moon Sect."


    "Star Moon Sect?" Ling Yi was startled for a moment, then shook her head: "This is Qingcheng County, not Pine Wind County."


    "What''s wrong? Could it be that the entire world is filled with kingdoms?" We are both in the world of Youzhou, why not? " Hong Yang smiled slightly: "Moreover, it''s so close to the Qingcheng County. The person behind you is a Star Moon Sect disciple. "


    Ling Yi turned her head and saw that Duan Yu was looking at him in shock. Then he quickly waved his hand and explained, "It used to be so, but now it isn''t."


    Hong Yang looked at Duan Yu, and said in a heavy voice: "No matter what, what you''re using is a cultivation method of the Star Moon Sect after all. Even though I was forced to escape the sect, if I were to betray my Star Moon Sect like this, would I even have the face to face with a whole set of martial skills that you have learned? "


    "A person who cultivates the martial path should be open and straightforward for his entire life. That is the true intention of a martial artist. If you were to abandon your own master, then how can you even talk about martial arts? "


    He naturally also knew that when Duan Yu returned, he would at least abolish the cultivation and be expelled from the sect. But he was taught by the Star Moon Sect from the beginning to the end! If he were to deny that he was his sect master, then it would be disrespectful to justice, and Hong Yang would definitely not be his partner.


    After hearing what Hong Yang had said, Duan Yu also sunk into deep thought. After a moment, he suddenly took a step forward, drew his sword, and started to evolve in the air.


    Star Moon Scripture, Meteorite!


    Unlike last time, this time, there were only two white balls. Duan Yu frowned slightly, and then two balls, they were actually two huge balls.


    This ball was about the size of a human head. With a thought, he smashed down with the white ball! On the ground of the courtyard, it abruptly exploded forth.


    Boom!


    A huge crater suddenly appeared on the ground of the courtyard. Ling Yi was also shocked.


    "This is the most basic Star Moon Sect cultivation technique. Duan Yu''s mood suddenly improved greatly, and he explained as well: "Star Moon Sect has its own special Star Moon Scripture, its power can reach as high as the lower second grade!"


    The bottom of Hong Yang''s heart suddenly moved. He looked at Duan Yu and asked: "Star Moon Canon.


    "There are 12 kinds of words. I have learnt them all. "There are twelve kinds of ''Moon'' character, and I have already mastered one. There should be eight types of ''Sun'' character cultivation technique." Duan Yu pondered for a moment, before replying.


    Hong Yang was immediately shocked. "Thirty-two types of cultivation techniques!" He had already guessed that since there were three levels, there would be quite a few techniques. Unexpectedly, there were thirty-two of them!


    Even if there were 12 types of words, they already had an infinite number of methods and a infinite number of combinations. On the other hand, his own Three Styles of Wind and Thunder only had three types of techniques. After surpassing the ''Star'' cultivation technique, it was still inferior compared to the ''Moon'' cultivation technique.


    Moreover, the ''Moonfall Style'' and the ''Moonfall Slash'' in the ''Moon'' technique definitely belonged to the peak of the third level! Furthermore, he had a second tier Rotary Kill technique, so the fact that Xing Qing was able to injure Xiao Wucheng with just this much power was the best proof.


    If he could learn all thirty-two cultivation techniques, with the combination of his movement technique and the endless combination, it wouldn''t be difficult to fight someone two levels above him!


    This was an extremely strong temptation for any practitioner.

 C55

    Hearing Duan Yu''s words, Ling Yi was moved. Although he had cultivation s with Returning Origin Stage, he had never seen a single cultivation technique in his entire life.


    Unexpectedly, this Duan Yu, who was only at the eighth level of Returning Origin Stage, had already learned thirteen different types of cultivation techniques!


    After leaving behind the Star Moon Sect''s route, Hong Yang and the other two left as well. This matter can only be decided by themselves... Hong Yang and the rest were just providing them with an opportunity.


    Although the Star Moon Sect sects weren''t big, their techniques were special, which was enough for them to gain some achievements. Other than the fact that his Luo Family had some concealment abilities, it would be difficult to find even for his City Lord''s Mansion.


    His heart was moved, that Xiao Wucheng''s Yin Yang Emperor Seal should be an example of a second rank cultivation technique! The Lunar Scourge, which could destroy the full power of Xing Qing with a single palm strike, was naturally powerful.


    Hong Yang reckoned that the two hand seals were even stronger than the Sun character cultivation technique. Even a grade two martial arts was considered to be at the peak of existence amongst them.


    "Hmm?"


    Once he returned to the inn, Duan Yu didn''t even eat lunch, and directly immersed himself into cultivation.


    While Hong Yang was still confused, Luo Dongting lightly patted his shoulder. His own strength, body tempering, and Qi Condensation had all reached the peak. If nothing unexpected happens, within three days, I should be able to advance to the ninth level of Returning Origin Stage. "


    Ninth level of the Returning Origin Stage! There was only one point left to the Peak of Returning Origin Stage Realm!


    The corner of Hong Yang''s mouth twitched, he had deep insights into the martial way. Naturally, he understood why Duan Yu had advanced ¡­ It was naturally the words that he had said to him from the Ling Family.


    That sentence was also from Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign''s summary of the martial way. Even though the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign was a devil, he had always done things that were magnanimous and magnanimous. Since he had seen through the martial way, his achievements were naturally extremely high.


    Luo Dongting glanced at Hong Yang. It was hard for him to understand why a person who was only at the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage would actually spit such words out of his mouth.


    After hesitating for a moment, he stopped his intention to inquire. Hong Yang was born in the Northern Profound Realm, and from their Taiyi Sect, these two were even more terrifying than Pill Master''s Luo Family. It wasn''t strange for some experts to impart their martial arts experience.


    Hong Yang was silent for a moment, and then also released. He had only advanced to the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage for around ten days or so. Even with his current experience, it would still take at least two to three months for his cultivation speed to double.


    In the Returning Origin Stage, other than Origin Accumulation Pill, he had never heard of any other medicinal pellet that could be consumed. Therefore, there was no other way other than to obediently and obediently train.


    Of course, if others were to know that Hong Yang had only used two or three months to break through, their eyeballs would probably fall out of their sockets. But Hong Yang was still dissatisfied, extremely dissatisfied!


    Even if he had such heaven defying cultivation speed, it would still take him at least ten years or so to touch the eighth rank realm! Too slow, too slow. By that time, everything would be useless ¡­


    He returned to his room and sat down cross-legged. He took out a few medicinal pellets from his bag and swallowed them, in order to alleviate the injuries caused by the Heaven Pill when he fought with Ye Nanlu.


    The medicinal strength flowed through his limbs and bones as it gradually recovered. His meridians were gradually restored and opened up a bit more.


    As he immersed himself in cultivation, Hong Yang once again focused his attention on the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder. This was the only cultivation technique he knew! Naturally, he could only study to the essence in order to satisfy his increasingly strong opponent.


    From within the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, the sound of wind and thunder could be heard. However, the wind and thunder roiled about, agitating the heavens. These two moves were yet to be executed.


    These three moves were all of the same cultivation method. However, the methods of circulating elemental energy were completely different.


    The wood element naturally belonged to the Righteous Energy. Naturally, it would give off the feeling of an irresistible majesty.


    But now, other than being able to cause a thunderstorm and stimulate that feeling in an instant, there was nothing else he could do. The other two moves were both techniques that had a sound to them, but had no effect.


    He continued to calculate in his mind, again and again, but it was not smooth enough. Other than comprehending martial arts, this thing also needed a powerful lucky chance in order to achieve the desired result.


    Hong Yang''s comprehension of the martial way, was at least at the level of Sky Origin Stage and above. However, he knew very little about the power of elements. Therefore, if he wanted to further improve his cultivation technique, unless he had the same great fortuitous encounters as the previous two times, it would be a fantasy story.


    After working hard for a long time, he found that he was improving further and further. In the end, he could only give up. After practicing ''Thunder'' a few more times in his mind, he slowly woke up.


    When he walked out of the courtyard, it was already dawn. He saw Duan Yu in the middle of the courtyard. He did not use his large bow. Instead, he took out a wooden stick from somewhere and started dancing while imitating the sword arts.


    The sword was the head of the weapon, and the sword qi was also the best in the martial way. Almost any martial practitioner with a bit of foundation would know some of the most basic sword arts. This was something that even Hong Yang was no exception to.


    The sword arts danced, although it was only the most basic moves. However, as it danced, it gave off a unique feeling. Seeing that, Hong Yang''s mind was shocked, and after that he became fully focused.


    There were many people coming and going in the inn, but the number of cultivation with Returning Origin Stage and above were extremely few. After some people stopped to watch for a while, they also felt that it was boring and left.


    From beginning to end, only Hong Yang had seen it. Until the sound of the bell rang, Duan Yu seemed to be awakened by the sound, and slowly retreated out of the realm.


    Hong Yang took a step forward, and said: "Congratulations, you have advanced to the ninth level of the Earth Origin Stage."


    Duan Yu also regained his senses and casually threw the wooden stick to the side. Although it seemed somewhat awkward to use a mud stick to create sword intent, it did not affect his state in the slightest.


    "I just had a breakthrough, and my cultivation isn''t stable yet." Duan Yu was also in a great mood. Breaking through was something that could only be accomplished through luck, and could not be sought for unless one forgot about everything else during their cultivation. Never would he have thought that just because of a single sentence from Hong Yang, it would become the crux of his breakthrough.


    Duan Yu stared at Hong Yang, although he had levelled up. However, he still did not have the confidence to defeat Hong Yang! Without mentioning Hong Yang''s strange and intimidating intent of thunder, even his speed had far surpassed the ninth level of the Returning Origin Stage, and was approaching towards the Peak of Returning Origin Stage!


    All martial arts in the world were unstoppable. Even if it was a Returning Origin Stage expert, it would be extremely difficult for them to make Hong Yang stay. Unless one had that kind of possibility, and was a Earth Origin Stage expert.


    After Duan Yu threw away the wooden stick, he also went back to his room and took out his big bow. After which, he began to slowly examine the stone.

 C56

    "What''s wrong?" Hong Yang looked at Duan Yu, and also asked puzzledly. He could clearly feel that Duan Yu was about to make a big move again.


    Duan Yu raised his head, his face clearly showing a little excitement: "Star Moon Scripture, a technique from the Moon Arts ¡ª ¡ª Bow. "Other than the ''Falling Moon'' stance, there''s another one."


    Full Moon of the Heavenly Wolf!


    He already had the strength of the ninth stage of the Returning Origin Stage, and was now officially in contact with the [Moon] cultivation technique. Even though he did not have the technique on him right now, he had read the entirety of the twelve kinds of techniques, the ''Moon'', and the ''Moon''. By relying on his memories, he was able to cultivate a little bit of it.


    He slowly picked up the large bow and thought for a moment. Then, he started to circulate his Essence. He poured his Essence into it and revolved it according to his memory.


    A milky white light spread out from the surroundings and exploded! He opened his eyes and shouted. The arrow on the bow immediately pierced through the air!


    Boom!


    The arrow pierced directly into the wall, sinking a full foot deep into it. This caused those who had woken up earlier to be dumbstruck.


    Duan Yu''s arrows were already so terrifying!


    He was also taken aback. He had never imagined that his arrow would be so terrifying. However, that strike had consumed most of his Essence.


    The level of the Full Moon Heavenly Wolf was even lower than the Falling Moon Style. However, even the Falling Moon Movement Technique did not consume that much Essence. This move, Full Moon of the Heavenly Wolf, was simply impossible!


    Clearly, something was wrong. He could not help but lower his head and begin to ponder. This thought didn''t get him any thoughts.


    "The sky has the force of a falling moon, without the slightest bit of the might of a heavenly wolf."


    Hong Yang saw that Duan Yu was lost in thought, and obviously had a puzzled look. He immediately laughed, took a step forward, and explained: "You still haven''t broken free from the Falling Moon Style''s restraints, and this move is still too similar to the Falling Moon Style. It''s true that the power of Falling Moon is terrifying, but when compared to the might of the Heavenly Wolf, it''s two entirely different things. "


    "The power of the Falling Moon requires the aura of a bow under the moon. Although you have yet to do this, it has already unwittingly manifested itself."


    "However, the Celestial Wolf''s power requires a domineering attitude that looks down on the entire world! "It doesn''t need to be big, but it definitely needs sharpness, coldness ¡­"


    Sharp, cold ¡­


    Within a cultivation method, the most important thing wasn''t its power, but its martial intent. Once a martial intent reached the peak of power, its power would naturally also reach the peak.


    Duan Yu was suddenly enlightened and immediately pulled back his bow, wanting to shoot again! However, it was true that the Essence within his body could not withstand the second release of elemental energy.


    Hong Yang smiled: "Take it slowly. For something like a cultivation technique, it''s not good to be in a hurry to succeed. It is only when one has trained for a long time that one will finally understand that what belongs to one''s self. "


    Duan Yu also nodded, he naturally understood this point. He looked at the sky and saw that it was already bright. As for the others in the inn, they gradually woke up.


    This city was always busy.


    He went back to his room to cultivate for another hour, replenishing his Essence as much as possible. When they reappeared, the three of them immediately headed for the city gate without delay.


    There were obviously more people at the city gate than the others. In the past three days, there had also been a lot of people piled up in the city.


    Unfortunately, other than the first night, there were no other battles in the other two nights. In other words, the black-robed man from eighth rank was not captured.


    With a bitter laugh, the final clue was broken. Right now, their only hope was to place their hopes on the order to kill Luo Family.


    Right now, they had no other choice. After walking for a while, Luo Dongting suddenly said in a low voice, "There are people following behind us."


    With his Spiritual Sense s, it would naturally not be difficult for him to discover these people. Hong Yang immediately turned his head, and also noticed many sneaky figures behind him.


    He had been a constable for many years, so he naturally had some experience. When Duan Yu turned his head back, he only felt that the people behind him were all walking normally, and there wasn''t anything special about them.


    "Do we need to separate?" Although he did not discover anything, Duan Yu still believed in Hong Yang and Luo Dongting, and asked: "Separate and throw these people off, then we can meet again after that."


    Hong Yang said in a heavy voice, "Absolutely not. If they were to separate, Brother Dongting would be fine. With our Returning Origin Stage''s strength, we basically will not be their match. "


    He could sense that cultivation might not be as strong as Luo Dongting, but it was naturally stronger than him and Duan Yu. "Not even if you have advanced to the ninth level of Returning Origin Stage."


    His eyes glazed over for a moment before he smiled in embarrassment. Although he had advanced to the ninth level of the Returning Origin Stage, in front of a strong practitioner, he was still nothing. He still knew this much.


    "It should be the County Lord''s Mansion, Ye Nan Ye''s people." Hong Yang took a few more steps, then stopped to think, and said: "If it was that Ye Nanlu who had sent people to follow us, with his intelligence, the possibility of him rushing in like a swarm of bees is higher. Only Ye Nantian could be so calm.


    Those people''s tracking skills were extremely brilliant, even Hong Yang''s years of experience as a constable could not discover them. If Luo Dongting had not used the Spiritual Sense to check, they would still be in the dark.


    "I''m afraid we won''t be able to get out of this city smoothly." Duan Yu laughed bitterly: "What do we do now? Could it be that he will have to make another trip to County Lord''s Mansion? "


    Ye Nanye was still certain that they were related to that man in black. Even if he was an enemy, he knew a bit about it.


    However, in reality, other than the black clothed man and Gu Changdong who were in cahoots, they really did not know anything else. Even if he went to County Lord''s Mansion once more, he wouldn''t get much news.


    "Let''s wait for now." Let''s pretend we didn''t find anything and head out of the city. If something happens, we can do it at random. If not, after leaving the city, the plains were so vast. "They can''t do anything to us either."


    The three of them naturally had no objection to this. Then, they directly formed a line among the teams that were trying to leave the city. The flow of people in the Qingcheng County was terrifyingly large, and the amount of people squeezed together for three whole days, was more than twice that of normal people.


    "Hmm?"


    He fiddled with a small item in his hand. Hong Yang suddenly sensed something and, with a twitch of his heart, looked to his right.


    To the right, several burly men stood there. And the one in the lead was actually Ye Nanlu, who they had intercepted yesterday.


    Ye Nanlu''s right hand was almost completely undamaged. He had obviously taken some extremely good healing medicine. At this moment, he was in the middle of the crowd, constantly searching for something.


    It was only when he saw Hong Yang''s figure that a bone-piercing coldness exploded out of his eyes, as if he wanted to tear Hong Yang into a thousand pieces! Then, he walked over from the other side step by step.

 C57

    "Ye Nanlu, we meet again." Seeing Ye Nanlu coming over, Hong Yang also sneered on the inside. Ye Zichen reached into the bag and grabbed a Heaven Pill with his hand.


    He knew clearly that Ye Nanlu would definitely bring an even stronger Ranker this time! This Heaven Pill was equivalent to a strike from a Earth Origin Stage Ranker. No matter how strong the person he brought was, they would be able to stop him for an instant.


    "There was a misunderstanding about the incident last time. I would like to invite everyone to go to City Lord''s Mansion s for a chat, is that alright? "


    Ye Nanlu walked over and sneered sinisterly. Hong Yang didn''t hold back and directly rejected, "I still have some matters to attend to, so I won''t be accompanying you. May I get out of the way? "


    If it was anyone else, they would understand that Ye Nanlu definitely did not have any good intentions. To the City Lord''s Mansion? Perhaps the place he wanted to take me to is a dungeon.


    Ye Nanlu was still smiling as he said, "I am truly sorry for what happened yesterday. If Brother Hong Yang does not go, I will not be able to sleep well. "


    He had directly called out Hong Yang''s name, causing the latter to instantly become solemn. It was very obvious that the people from the County Lord''s Mansion had already investigated them last night ¡­


    Hong Yang slightly smiled, but he took a step forward, and accidentally revealed the Black Army Command Token in front of his chest. He didn''t answer.


    Ye Nanlu was also a person with County Lord''s Mansion, so it was naturally impossible for him to not recognize this medallion. Furthermore, after he saw this command medallion, he would most likely be worried about it.


    As expected, when Ye Nanlu saw this black order order, he also revealed a strange expression. "You''re someone from the Pine Wind County? Pine Wind County? "


    Duan Yu and Luo Dongting had also noticed this, and their faces instantly darkened. But a moment later, Ye Nanlu began to laugh wickedly. "This is Qingcheng County, not Pine Wind County! Theoretically speaking, the fact that this piece of black army order has been given out by the Pine Wind County is equivalent to being a piece of scrap. "


    Hong Yang stared blankly. That was theoretically true. Unless it was the close-fitting emblem of the County Lord''s Mansion. Otherwise, even if it was a Black Army Command Token, it would have no effect in any other commandery.


    Originally, Hong Yang had thought that even though they were different counties, they were still under Youzhou! Even if the Black Army Token was useless in the Qingcheng County, it was still a possession of a princess, so the other party would be somewhat worried if they saw it.


    But now it seems ¡­ That didn''t seem to be the case.


    "This time, if Brother Hong Yang does not go, I will not be able to sleep or eat in peace." Ye Nanlu suddenly took a step forward: "So, this time, if you don''t want to go, you''ll have to!"


    This time, he was not careless and directly rushed to Hong Yang''s front! With a wave of his hand, he used at least seventy percent of his strength.


    Although he did not dare to kill someone in front of everyone''s eyes, Hong Yang''s red pill made him extremely afraid. Hence, if he were to use seventy percent of his strength, he would instantly kill Hong Yang.


    However, what he did not know was that there were too many people here, and Hong Yang did not dare to throw out the Heaven Pill. If not for the strike from the Earth Origin Stage Ranker, perhaps he and Ye Nanlu would be fine.


    Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, first move: Thunderclap!


    His figure instantly exploded backwards! The sound of wind and thunder rang out. Ye Nanlu only felt that he was suddenly shocked for a moment. When he regained his senses, the attack in his hand had already struck empty air.


    Hong Yang was actually at the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage, dodging the attack of a Earth Origin Stage Ranker!


    Within Luo Dongting''s eyes, there was also a hint of astonishment. That move of Ye Nanlu''s from before, could completely hit Hong Yang! However, he was distracted by the sound of the wind and lightning, and his attack had deviated slightly before being narrowly avoided by Hong Yang.


    Could it be that Hong Yang''s sound of wind and thunder could already affect the Earth Origin Stage? Although the sound of wind and thunder was rather strange, back then when Hong Yang displayed it to Luo Dongting, the latter only passed it with a smile, and did not feel it at all.


    After all, this was an opportunistic move. In front of absolute strength, there was no way to make up for it! Luo Dongting was a Earth Origin Stage, and also a Pill Master. His mental state was more than ten times stronger than ordinary Earth Origin Stage experts, so he was not affected at all.


    However, being able to surpass a great realm and affect a Earth Origin Stage Ranker was already a great miracle in itself.


    Hm?


    When Ye Nanlu saw that Hong Yang had managed to block it, he was slightly surprised. With a slight movement, he once again rushed forward.


    Yesterday, when he saw Hong Yang going up against Zhang Qi, he noticed that he was not slow at all. He didn''t expect that he would be able to dodge his own attack!


    Hong Yang knew his own limits, and understood that it was impossible for him to clash head on with Ye Nanlu! However, with Ye Nanlu''s capabilities, it would be easy for him to harm everyone.


    Thinking of this, he directly plunged into the crowd. After passing through the crowd, there was an open area. And within the crowd, Ye Nanlu evidently did not dare to make a move either.


    Duan Yu''s eyes flashed, and also rushed out. But Luo Dongting did not move. With his current condition, it would be inconvenient for him to take action.


    He quietly watched from the side, and then his Spiritual Sense also searched the surroundings, but did not find anyone else that Ye Nanlu had brought.


    His mind slightly moved. Could it be those people that were following him? He continued to turn his head to take a look. Sure enough, none of the people following him had left.


    The cultivation s among those who were following them were also much higher in height than yesterday. There were even one or two Earth Origin Stage existences! With his heart filled with fear, Luo Dongting could only smile bitterly, and did not dare to relax in the slightest.


    If anything happened to Hong Yang, he would risk his life to save him! But at least, he wouldn''t make a move unless he had no other choice.


    After running to a spacious area, there were some soldiers that wanted to stop the two of them. However, when they saw that it was Ye Nanlu, they were unable to dodge in time. Hong Yang, who was watching, shook his head.


    Compared to Ye Nan Ye, this Ye Nanlu was really too lacking. But people with the same City Lord''s Mansion were completely different.


    Hong Yang''s eyes narrowed slightly as he suddenly flew into the sky, stepped on the wall, and then pounced downwards.


    His right hand directly struck out. Facing a Earth Origin Stage expert, he actually wanted to gain the initiative!


    Boom!


    A huge sound suddenly rang out, and Ye Nanlu also directly struck out with his palm, striking Hong Yang.


    If a Earth Origin Stage Ranker and a Returning Origin Stage Ranker were to be correct, there was naturally no suspense. Ye Nanlu''s palm strike had directly suppressed Hong Yang!


    Overjoyed, he immediately flew forward! He thought, with this, it would be hard for Hong Yang to escape.


    If Hong Yang relied on his movement techniques to continuously escape, then it was truly possible that he would not be able to chase after his own group of people. But now, he was determined to win.


    However, in the next second, his face suddenly turned aghast! The momentum of his charge was forcefully halted.


    An enormous shockwave exploded right in front of him!

 C58

    The shockwave instantly exploded! Ye Nanlu was not in time to defend, and was directly flung out. Hong Yang let out a stuffy groan, as he was blasted dozens of metres away.


    That was of course, when Hong Yang was in a critical situation, he had directly filled the Heaven Pill with his vitality and then directly threw it out! The Heaven Pill exploded almost instantly after it was filled with vitality.


    The distance between the two of them was less than twenty meters! Fortunately, Hong Yang had moved towards the back, and had already prepared himself to avoid 90% of the attack.


    However, even if there was a remaining ten percent, it was still not something he could withstand.


    Hong Yang gritted his teeth, and the moment he landed, the power of wind and thunder surged. His body immediately became light, and he barely managed to avoid falling.


    But Ye Nanlu, had withstood eighty percent of the impact! At this time, he finally understood how terrifying that Heaven Pill in the other party''s hands was!


    Many of his clothes had been torn apart, but fortunately, it was only a crack and did not cause much damage. Even if he had to face this attack head on, Ye Nanlu would appear to be in a slightly sorry state and would appear to be fine.


    Even though that Heaven Pill was said to have the Earth Origin Stage of a expert, when it was used, more than half of it hit empty air. Ye Nanlu stood up and looked at Hong Yang with a bewildered and uncertain expression.


    Hong Yang also laughed bitterly, in his bag, there was only the last light red Heaven Pill left. If it was a higher level, he would probably be blown up to the point where he was half dead and half dead.


    Moreover, although this place was relatively spacious, there were still quite a few people watching from the surroundings. At that time, if it were to suddenly explode, a strike from a Earth Origin Stage expert would definitely not be something Earth Origin Stage could compare to.


    Duan Yu also rushed over at this time. His eyes turned cold and the big bow behind his instantly appeared. His vitality exploded as he aimed at Ye Nanlu.


    One of them was at the eighth level of Origin Returning Stage, and the other was an expert at the ninth level of Returning Origin Stage. When Ye Nanlu''s aura exploded out, the two of them also felt a sense of suffocation.


    "If you come with me to the City Lord''s Mansion and tell me where the girl is, then ¡­ I can pretend that it didn''t happen. " When Ye Nanlu saw Duan Yu, he almost subconsciously thought of Luo Dongting. He looked towards the crowd but did not see Luo Dongting''s figure. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.


    Instantly, his confidence increased by quite a bit. This time, he did not bring any helpers with him, but as long as Luo Dongting was not around, he believed that it would not be difficult for him to take care of two people with Returning Origin Stage by himself.


    "We only happened to meet and saved that girl by chance, so we don''t know where she went." Hong Yang shook his head, and said: "But the reason you came this time, shouldn''t it be because of that girl?"


    Ye Nanlu was startled, after that he glanced at the crowd again. Hong Yang was silent. At this moment, he suddenly knew what Ye Nanlu was looking at.


    It was naturally the people who were following them. His mind suddenly came to a realization and became gloomy.


    Ye Nanye was really Ye Nanye. He had made his little brother come here to be a fool, but now he had obtained what he wanted. This person was extremely scheming.


    Amongst those who were chasing after him, there were actually experts in the Earth Origin Stage! To deal with Ye Nanlu who was a Earth Origin Stage Ranker, the two of them would have to struggle. If it was one more person, unless Luo Dongting took action, otherwise, it would be practically impossible.


    "Since that''s the case, then we should still stay, and properly drink some tea at the City Lord''s Mansion!" Ye Nanlu instantly dashed out once more, his palm actually already carried an extremely powerful fluctuation of vitality.


    Fierce Rock Finger!


    Finger techniques were extremely rare, and even Hong Yang had never seen one with his Taiyi Sect s or the northern side of the city. He did not dare to be careless for a moment. Wind and lightning immediately appeared and charged forward.


    The thunder shook the sky!


    Bang!


    The two of them ruthlessly clashed, Hong Yang used eighty percent of his vital energy in this move, but he was still not his match. In less than a second, he fell down.


    Star Moon Codex, Falling Moon Style!


    Duan Yu bellowed, following that, he also released his bow. A streak of white light instantly soared into the sky, and directly shot towards the location of Ye Nanlu''s strength.


    Although Ye Nanlu''s energy finger was formless and traceless in the air, the two of them could still feel an extremely strong shock! The Falling Moon Movement Technique directly collided with his opponent, causing his inner qi to dissipate. However, he still didn''t stop.


    Still not enough ¡­


    Hong Yang wanted to attack again, but in such a short period of time, he could not produce any more Qi! Duan Yu also clenched his teeth. A moment later, he suddenly grabbed his bow and threw it over.


    Boom!


    The huge bow was directly blasted apart by the force of the finger attack! However, Ye Nanlu''s terrifying move, had also slowly dissipated.


    Luo Dongting also grinned. These two people, did not think that they would actually receive a move from a Earth Origin Stage Ranker. This was truly unexpected.


    Ye Nanlu looked at everything in front of him in a daze, and was instantly enraged! Allowing two Returning Origin Stage s to receive one of his full-power strikes, if other Earth Origin Stage practitioners were to know, what face would he have left?


    "If you''re capable, take this strike of mine!" If you can take it, I''ll let you go. "


    Ye Nanlu''s face instantly darkened, and immediately went on a rampage. With a flip of his hand seals, a palm was once again ruthlessly thrown out!


    He hadn''t used a single cultivation method in this palm strike; he had purely used his origin energy!


    Even though it was more effective, he could still use his martial arts. But strength alone was enough to defeat ten, unless Hong Yang and Duan Yu were able to use their Qi to forcefully break through his technique, any method would be useless!


    Luo Dongting''s pupils contracted slightly, but soon after, he relaxed. He knew that there was still a Heaven Pill in Hong Yang''s hands.


    If that was the case, then there was no need to worry. Ye Nanlu was not that black clothed man or Ye Tianchen. A single Heaven Pill was enough to resist.


    Sure enough, Hong Yang hesitated. Then, without any hesitation, he took out a red pill from his bag. He poured his Essence into it and threw it out.


    "Attack!"


    With a thought, Hong Yang suddenly gritted his teeth and flew up! His body faintly rippled with thunder.


    Thunder rumbled in the wind!


    The Heaven Pill exploded! As expected, after the shockwave from the explosion dissipated, Ye Nanlu was sent flying backwards.


    No matter how awesome he was, he only had Earth Origin Stage after all. When they saw this scene, a few of the people who were following him also suddenly rushed out.


    There were also two Earth Origin Stage experts amongst them! Originally, he thought that it wouldn''t be difficult for Ye Nanlu to get rid of Hong Yang.


    But now, it seemed impossible! All of a sudden, he stood up and stared at the scene in bewilderment.


    If anything happened to Ye Nanlu, they would definitely capture him at all costs!

 C59

    Although they had stood out, they were also afraid of the might of the Heaven Pill and did not dare to rashly go forward.


    Without waiting for the smoke to disperse, Hong Yang had directly dashed into that place! The Essence in his hand surged, and after finding Ye Nanlu''s figure, he no longer dared to be polite, and directly swung out his palm.


    The thunder shook the sky!


    The previous move was enough to counteract two-thirds of the power of Ye Nanlu''s palm strike. The remaining power was not worth mentioning, as it was unable to harm Ye Nanlu.


    A person at the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage actually wanted to kill a Earth Origin Stage Ranker instead?


    Boom!


    Hong Yang chased after his Peak of Returning Origin Stage! Ye Nanlu simply did not have time to dodge. When he regained his senses from the great shock, Hong Yang was already in front of him.


    Bang!


    In the next second, he was sent flying like a cannonball! On his right hand, the bones had been completely fractured. He looked as if they were dripping with blood.


    In a moment of desperation, he lifted his right hand to block the blow. His right hand directly collided with the Thunder Tremor! Without any resistance, it instantly shattered.


    Ye Nanlu suddenly screamed as his entire being was smashed into the ground! The spirit energy gathered, wanting to rush into the sky and kill Hong Yang again. However, the pain on his right hand, told him ¡­ That''s impossible.


    "Young master!"


    The people who were following him immediately jumped out. In their eyes, there was bewilderment, and they wanted to make a move. However, Luo Dongting took a step forward, and unreservedly released the aura of his Earth Origin Stage!


    At the same time, he slowly held a red medicinal pill in his hand. because of the aura of the Earth Origin Stage of the Earth Origin Stage, they did not dare to take a step forward.


    "Go, report this to the mayor!"


    One of the Earth Origin Stage Rankers turned around and shouted towards his teammates. The man was also stunned for a moment, then immediately turned and ran towards the City Lord''s Mansion.


    They had three Earth Origin Stage experts! But even when facing Luo Dongting, he still did not dare to step forward. What''s more, the Heaven Pill in his opponent''s hands.


    The Heaven Pill was not light red, but completely red. Although it was not at the blood-red level, there was a slight difference that was faintly emitted from it, causing them to not dare to act rashly.


    A Heaven Pill of the Earth Origin Stage rank!


    Although Luo Dongting could not casually make a move, killing eight Earth Origin Stage experts with this Heaven Pill was not a problem at all. However, with this, who knew how many of the spectators would die or even how many.


    Ye Nanlu landed on the ground, the enormous pain from his arm directly caused him to faint! Although he was a Earth Origin Stage Ranker, he did not have the tenacity as Hong Yang to drink and pull out the sword, and was merely a hedonistic disciple with an empty background.


    Hong Yang''s entire body was completely devoid of vitality. He never thought that he would be able to defeat a Earth Origin Stage expert, even if it was the strength of two people combined with that Heaven Pill.


    After the surprise deep within his heart passed, he directly erupted into a wave of ruthlessness! The two moves that Ye Nanlu had taken previously, were all unreserved. Now, he was truly enraged.


    According to the law of Youzhou, anyone who was guilty of crimes would be redeemed by their position across the border. To put it bluntly, it meant that the thief would chop off the hand while the one who offended the other party would sew up the mouth.


    If that was the case, the crime of rape and obscenity would naturally be to chop them apart.


    Hong Yang''s eyes became gloomy and cold. The other party''s previous two moves could have taken his life!


    Since that was the case, there was no need for him to show mercy now.


    He gently pushed out his palm and did a crushing motion through the air! In the next second, Ye Nanlu was stunned, and then he spasmed.


    He, he actually crushed Ye Nanlu''s words ¡­


    Although everyone knew that according to the law of Youzhou, this was indeed legal! But when they truly saw this scene, even if it was Duan Yu himself, the corner of his mouth twitched.


    Hong Yang closed his eyes and did not look at the scene in front of him. Ye Nanlu shouted loudly, following that his voice became hoarse, he could not even make a sound. It could only roar, and angrily look at Hong Yang, but could do nothing.


    He didn''t open his eyes until he turned around. Looking at his surroundings, Hong Yang then called out, "Leave this place!"


    He knew that after those people returned to look for City Lord''s Mansion, they would definitely not let this place go! And looking at Ye Nanlu''s attitude before, even if he had the black order, it would not be able to protect him!


    The soldiers guarding the city gate only had the strength of the Returning Origin Stage''s five stages, they didn''t dare to stop them at all! Other than a few blind people, the rest of them automatically opened up a path, allowing Hong Yang and Duan Yu to lead their horses and rush out of the city gate.


    Those blind people were also knocked over with a single palm from Hong Yang. However, it was merely a blow and did not take the life of the other party.


    "What are you still standing there for? Close the city gates!"


    A Earth Origin Stage Ranker anxiously shouted when he saw that Luo Dongting was still in the city. Luo Dongting was shocked, he turned and saw Hong Yang and Yue Shan running away, and he was finally relieved.


    There were restrictions placed on the city gate, but with his strength, he would be able to escape even if he jumped down from the top of the city gate. Letting out a breath of relief, his body exploded out in a flash and directly charged towards the city gate!


    Although he couldn''t use his elemental energy, he still had pills. From the bag, he took out another Heaven Pill that was almost white. He also directly threw it out, blasting the people on both sides of the city gate open.


    That Heaven Pill was only worth one blow from his Peak of Returning Origin Stage. More than half of the force behind the attack was blocked by the city gate.


    Both sides retreated in shock! He instantly fled out of the city gate as well. Then, without riding a horse, he walked towards Hong Yang and the rest.


    Horses could be bought on the road, and it wasn''t impossible for the two of them to ride together. And right now, the other party was already going to announce the City Lord''s Mansion. Before long, those experts with City Lord''s Mansion would come chasing after them!


    He knew Ye Nan Ye''s thoughts, and naturally wanted to keep Hong Yang and Duan Yu here. There was a rule in Youzhou that those without evidence could not be held for more than forty-eight hours, which was two days.


    He wanted to capture him, then imprison him in Ye Nanlu''s name and ask him about the black-clothed men. However, he never expected that Hong Yang and the others would actually flee.


    Yuannan City! Right now, Hong Yang and the other two had obvious goals, which was to return to the Pine Wind County! They, people of Pine Wind County, did not dare to act wantonly within the Qingcheng County. Similarly, people with Qingcheng County also did not dare to act wildly within the Pine Wind County.


    When Luo Dongting caught up, the three of them immediately galloped back the way they came from. This place was only a few dozen miles away from the border. If one was fast enough, they could reach it in half a day.


    Hong Yang knew, he had already crippled Ye Nanlu. Although he was known as a benevolent hunter, he had strict law enforcement and was above leniency.

 C60

    The three of them left the city and quickly mounted their horses. Although there were people chasing after them, they disappeared after a while.


    They knew that this was not giving up. I''m afraid it won''t be long before ¡­ Then, a large number of Earth Origin Stage experts would come to chase after him.


    Hong Yang''s actions, were done on behalf of the City Lord''s Mansion! Although he was nicknamed the "Nefarious Filthbird", in that situation, if he continued to be "merciful", then who knew how many girls would suffer in the future.


    Since there was no violation of the law, it was naturally feasible. This point was something that Hong Yang knew from his previous life as a constable.


    They did not manage to track down Gu Changdong''s whereabouts. Instead, they went under the gates of hell and infuriated the people from the Qingcheng County. Hong Yang could only smile bitterly.


    "Walk faster!" Ahead of them was the border, not too far away. As long as they entered the Yuannan City, they wouldn''t dare to behave atrociously in it, not to mention the fact that they already knew about it. Even if you want to search, it will not be easy. "


    Ye Nanye knew that they needed to go through the east gate to get out of the city. So he could find them easily. But hiding within the Yuannan City was different. It was impossible to find even the slightest trace of a million men!


    Hong Yang took a deep breath, holding his vitality in his hands, he immediately touched his body to stimulate his horse. This method of spurring horses is much more useful than fast horses and whips. However, horses were not spirit beasts after all, and were extremely harmful to their health.


    If it was someone below Returning Origin Stage, and unable to control their strength properly using this method, it was very possible that they would smack their horse to death with one palm. When the time comes, the gains would not make up for the losses.


    The other two also used the same technique to charge in. They quickly rushed to the group of people who were about to cross the border. After he dismounted, he casually threw away the horse and it quickly attracted a lot of people''s attention.


    To some commoners, the price of a horse was extremely high. However, what they didn''t know was that along the way, the three of them had almost always been using this method to stimulate themselves. Even if these horses could survive, they would definitely not live past three months.


    There were a lot of people inside, even if they were to search the Spiritual Sense s, it would be difficult to find them. Hong Yang and the other two blended into the crowd and immediately concealed their cultivation, turning into an ordinary Returning Origin Stage. It was unremarkable.


    Very soon, a few people flew out from the sky! Noticing the commotion, he raised his head to take a look. The expressions of the three instantly changed.


    "Ye Tianchen."


    An expert of eighth rank! Beside Ye Tianchen, there was another person who followed. Beneath his aura, his aura was also exceptionally swift and fierce.


    "This person, is at least a Earth Origin Stage cultivation." Luo Dongting was silent. As a Pill Master, he naturally had an extraordinary perception. With this, he immediately determined the opponent''s strength.


    Earth Origin Stage!


    Hong Yang was startled, then after he focused slightly, he became serious. Any one of these two figures was not someone they could fight against.


    Fortunately, there were over a thousand people here. Even if it was a strong practitioner from the eighth rank, it would still be extremely difficult for them to capture three people out of the thousand people present.


    "Close the border immediately! It will only take an hour! An hour later, the border has opened! "


    Ye Tianchen roared towards the people at the border. The latter was left in a difficult situation, unsure of what to do.


    This border was jointly owned by the two counties. It was under the control of both sides! A portion of the people on the side of the Qingcheng County had stopped, while the other half were stunned in place, unable to come to a conclusion.


    "How could it be like this? I was in a rush to get there."


    "Exactly. Now that we have been sealed for two hours, do you know how important two hours is to us? After we were two hours late, we wouldn''t even be able to get a good seat at the evening market in Yuannan City. "


    "Shh, don''t you see that he is a Earth Origin Stage Ranker? How could someone like you with Returning Origin Stage s be able to compare to them? "


    For a time, everyone was discussing amongst themselves. Suddenly, a man from the caravan jumped out and shouted, "Why? Is our business not a thing? "Quickly open the passage."


    Ye Tianchen, who was floating in the air, looked at the person who had jumped out and merely let out a cold laugh, "Trash."


    eighth rank experts could float for a short period of time. A person who didn''t even know about this was indeed trash.


    His eyes widened! He merely let out a cold snort. The person who spoke earlier had already let out a grunt! Following that, blood came out from his mouth and nose, and he fell to the ground. He was dead.


    "Who else can''t accept this?"


    Ye Tianchen continued to speak blandly. He then directly released the aura of his eighth rank without reservation! Instantly, everyone in the audience felt suffocated.


    Some of the cultivation only had one second rank, so much so that they had the impulse to kneel down. That kind of pressure was too terrifying!


    "There are still people who are unconvinced, you can jump out and fight with me. If he can defeat me. I will immediately leave without a word. "


    A faint sense of majesty emanated in the air. Hong Yang and the other two had deathly pale faces, as they had a deep bad premonition at the bottom of their hearts.


    Even though there were thousands of people here. But he never would have thought that Ye Tianchen, who was in the Qingcheng County, would actually come personally! Don''t they want the city defenses anymore?


    That was a eighth rank after all! Other than the Luo Family, perhaps he would pay a little attention. He would not even spare a glance for the other things in the Pine Wind County!


    "Hong Yang, do you want to stand out yourself, or do you want all of these thousands of people to die with you?"


    Behind Ye Tianchen, the man with sixth rank stood forward. He had a head full of white hair, but his appearance did not seem that old. However, the crowd was still trembling uncontrollably.


    Thousands of people died with him!


    For a time, the merchant group started discussing amongst themselves. Some of the stronger merchant groups would naturally have some strong experts of the Earth Origin Stage. However, compared to Ye Tianchen, it was like the difference between a sparrow and a phoenix.


    That expert with Earth Origin Stage was called Ye Nan Mu. He guessed that he must be Ye Nanye''s uncle.


    The entire Qingcheng County, was the world of the Ye Family.


    "If you don''t get out within ten breaths of time, you''ll die!"


    Ye Tianchen looked at all of this coldly. The effect he had on them was just to intimidate them. This time, if Ye Nan Mu was here, he would be able to finish the rest.


    "Ten!"


    "Nine!"


    "Eight!"


    Gritting his teeth tightly, Hong Yang also did not expect his opponent to do this. At this moment, he couldn''t help but struggle in his heart, unsure of what he should do.


    "Two!"


    "One!"


    After he finished counting, Ye Nantian sneered, "What a merciful man. How could he ignore so many names just for his own life. "It seems like there is no need to keep the title of ''Hermit'' around anymore."


    Even though he possessed Earth Origin Stage, with the support of his powerful vitality, coupled with the fact that Ye Tianchen had used a formless ability to float up above his head, it was actually quite impressive.


    "If that''s the case ¡­" Then die! "

 C61

    "If that''s the case ¡­" Then die! "


    He suddenly shouted in his heart. Ye Nan Mu also slapped down without hesitation.


    Hong Yang clenched his teeth, he had wanted to stand out! With his martial arts experience, he could naturally tell that Ye Nan Mu had only used 30% of his power. What''s more, the area was so large that it wouldn''t have much of an effect.


    To kill thousands of people with a single slap, that was what Sky Origin Stage experts did. However, he still had Earth Origin Stage after all. With this palm strike, it wasn''t difficult to scare a caravan of several thousand people.


    But Hong Yang did not dare to gamble, he was just one person, he did not dare to take the lives of thousands! If Ye Nan Mu and Ye Tianchen were to start a massacre. The number of people who would be able to escape wouldn''t even reach a tenth of the original number.


    "Stop!"


    Hong Yang was about to step forward. Suddenly, a burst of loud shouting came from the horizon! Immediately afterwards, a wave of substantial pressure suddenly assaulted his face.


    Even from a few hundred meters away, he could feel this aura! And this voice was something Hong Yang was extremely familiar with as well. Instantly, an enormous expression of joy appeared on his face.


    Ye Nan Mu was shocked. He immediately retracted his palm that was about to strike down. He increased his power from 30% to 90%! After that, it shot out in the direction of the force.


    "Bam!"


    Ye Nantian was shocked and took a few steps back in the air. Subsequently, he was no longer able to remain in the mid-air and directly landed on the ground.


    The person paused for a second and returned to the ground. However, when they reached the ground, the pressure became even stronger.


    The two were actually evenly matched!


    "Who are you? What does my Qingcheng County chasing others have to do with you! If you quickly back away from today''s events, I can pretend that nothing happened. "


    "And who are you?" The person''s eyes slightly narrowed, revealing an extremely strong will to fight: "This is a land of intersection, not a place where you''re the only one with power! If you want to do something, you must have come to the wrong place. "


    "I am Ye Nan Mu of Qingcheng County. Earth Origin Stage. " Ye Nan Mu froze for a moment and then said.


    The person continued to sneer, "Pine Wind County Vice Commander, Xiao Wucheng, Earth Origin Stage."


    The person who came was Xiao Wucheng! These few days, he stayed within the Yuannan City and did not leave. As soon as he heard that something was amiss, he immediately came here.


    After saying this, his aura also started to rise bit by bit, until it finally reached the peak of the Earth Origin Stage before stopping! They were also standing on the ground, staring at Ye Nantian.


    "Please do not interfere in the affairs of our Qingcheng County!" Although Ye Nan Mu was one stage stronger than his opponent, this time, he was surprised to find out that he didn''t have the confidence to defeat his opponent!


    Xiao Wucheng chuckled, and did not mind in the slightest. Even if he looked at Ye Tianchen, who was not far away, he still said lightly, "So what? You block the border from opening and disrupt Youzhou. This matter is enough for the higher ups to come and punish you for your crimes! "


    Pine Wind County and Qingcheng County, these few days, the competition had been fierce. Naturally, he would not give the other party any face.


    His expression slowly turned gloomy. Ye Nantian knew that Ye Xiao was doing this on purpose! However, Ye Nantian also gave the order. No matter what, he had to bring Hong Yang back with him!


    He had obviously investigated those three people before, and knew that Hong Yang was the main character in the investigation into Luo Family. As for Luo Dongting, he did not want to provoke him either. The name of Pill Master''s Luo Family, had even more deterrence than Pine Wind County.


    As for that Duan Yu, he was nothing but a small fry to him, nothing to worry about. Hence, they had to bring Hong Yang back this time!


    Looking at Ye Tianchen behind him, Ye Tianchen did not seem to have the intention to attack. Ye Nantian humphed coldly in his heart and his vigor was fully unleashed.


    "It''s been two years and you''re still stuck at the early stage of Earth Origin Stage?" Xiao Wucheng''s eyes flashed, and said sarcastically: "Trash, you''re actually nearly twenty years older than me!"


    "Please let me finish. This matter, you really treat us very ¡­" Ye Nantian took a deep breath. Although he was one level higher than his opponent! However, right now, there was still a lot of pressure. He still wanted to make the final effort.


    "Your head!"


    Xiao Wucheng''s figure flickered, and instantly exploded out! It had only been an instant for a profound practitioner that was tens of meters away.


    The moment there was a disagreement, he actually wanted to start a fight!


    "Gale, condense!"


    Seeing Xiao Wucheng directly fly over, Ye Nan''s pupils slightly shrank. His opponent''s speed was not any slower than his! This move had also greatly surprised him.


    In an instant, he didn''t get up to attack, but chose a more conservative defensive move instead. Waves of wind gathered around his body, not daring to relax in the slightest.


    "Bam!"


    Xiao Wucheng''s body directly struck the astral wind, and then his entire body flew out! However, he stopped after flying backwards for a dozen meters. His aura was stable and did not cause any damage.


    Ye Nan Mu also took a few steps back! This astral wind was a mid-grade third rank cultivation technique. He had used it many times and it had made him extremely proficient in it.


    But now, after being struck by Xiao Wucheng, it had actually completely broken apart! The wind array formation that surrounded them was no longer present. It had been completely broken through!


    Xiao Wucheng going up against Earth Origin Stage was unexpectedly evenly matched, to the point of even shocking the other party!


    "To use a cultivation method to withstand a palm strike from my Essence, you''re quite shameless." Xiao Wucheng chuckled as he stood up. Ye Nantian''s face suddenly became dark and cold.


    Indeed, when facing someone a level lower than him, he was actually the first to use his martial arts! This humiliation was a bit too great.


    "Since you''ve also used a cultivation technique. Now, it''s my turn! "


    Xiao Wucheng bellowed, and his figure flashed again! Ye Nan Mu''s pupils slightly constricted and he also quickly retreated!


    His defensive technique was only one of a kind. If he were to use an offensive technique to face it head on, it wouldn''t be a bad idea at all. However, he was surprised to find out now ¡­


    He couldn''t find Xiao Wucheng''s location at all!


    If he didn''t know the other party''s position, then what if he chose the wrong direction? Cold sweat dripped down his back. Right now, he could only turn around and retreat!


    "To the right."


    He retreated a full fifty to sixty meters! Suddenly, a faint voice was transmitted into his ears.


    It was Ye Tianchen''s sound transmission.


    Nodding his head, Ye Nan Mu immediately wanted to condense his martial art and shot it towards the right. However, in the next second, it was already too late.


    Yang Emperor Seal!

 C62

    A huge palm imprint struck out from the right! It was extremely quick and violent, causing the surrounding people to all retreat. They did not dare to approach within a hundred meters.


    Ye Nantian was stunned, then he turned around and gritted his teeth. With a loud shout, he also went to meet them head on.


    As a Earth Origin Stage, how could he be hit by Earth Origin Stage?!


    Gritting his teeth, he pulled out a large blade from his back! The surface of the large blade was incomparably sharp, it was clearly similar to those weapons in the Black Armoured Army.


    However, the feeling this blade gave off was completely different from the feeling one gets from Black Armoured Army. There was light revolving on the blade edge of the blade, and it was even on Duan Yu''s big bow.


    "Long Tuochen is born, break for me!"


    The radiance on the surface of the saber instantly intensified as it slashed forward! This move of Long Tuo Chen''s was an existence at the highest level amongst the third grade, his power was definitely not weak.


    However, even in his haste, he could only unleash 80% of its power. The current him was completely bracing himself.


    A single Earth Origin Stage was actually completely suppressed by the Earth Origin Stage!


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Surprise flashed past Ye Tianchen''s eyes as well. However, he did not go forward to help. Instead, he continued to stand in place.


    In any case, Ye Nan Mu wouldn''t die, and he was very interested in this Xiao Wucheng! Since he wouldn''t die, he might as well continue watching. In any case, for martial artists, as long as it didn''t harm their dantian or any other important areas, it could be repaired if it affected their martial dao potential.


    Boom!


    The saber light and the terrifying Yang Emperor Seal fiercely collided, causing a loud sound to ring out!


    Ye Tianchen''s pupils contracted slightly, then he sighed. At this point, the outcome of the battle had been decided.


    Although that Long Haochen was born with a superior third-grade cultivation technique, he actually had a feeling about that Yang Emperor Seal. It was the power of a second-grade cultivation technique!


    Grade two cultivation technique! There was only one such skill in his body, and he hadn''t completely mastered it yet. Never would he have thought that he would actually see another one on Xiao Wucheng''s body!


    Sometimes, the gap between cultivation techniques was sufficient to make up for the difference in levels. Moreover, there wasn''t much of a difference between Xiao Wucheng and Ye Nan Mu.


    Bang!


    Ye Nan Mu was directly sent flying backwards! Although there were no open wounds on his body, his clothes were torn and his body was covered in blood. He was in a very sorry state.


    That time, it was actually Xiao Wucheng who won!


    The corners of Hong Yang''s mouth, who had been observing from afar, slightly twitched. Although he had already seen that Xiao Wucheng was extraordinary, he had not expected that he would still be able to easily win in a higher level challenge.


    Within Earth Origin Stage, every step was an enormous difference! It was as if Luo Dongting had simply relied on his aura to suppress the Earth Origin Stage people inside the city gate until they didn''t dare to move at all!


    He directly used the Soaring Hong Ye South Dusk. Ye Tianchen''s figure also flashed and landed from the sky, catching Ye Nan Mu. After casually throwing a few pills in, he coldly snorted and didn''t say anything else.


    Although it was not unfair for him to lose, in the end, he still lost when it came to Earth Origin Stage.


    "When you go back, go back and do closed door cultivation." If you have not made any progress, you can just die inside. "


    These words from Ye Tianchen directly caused Ye Nan Mu, who was about to faint, to be greatly shocked. He wanted to say something but swallowed his words instead.


    The Ye Family was the largest family with countless experts under their command. The Ye Family was the majority of their Qingcheng County.


    Ye Nanye was the mayor of the city. He was in charge of all the affairs in the city. His cultivation is also not weak, a cultivation with Earth Origin Stage. However, because he did not have time to train, he was busy and his progress was slow.


    And this Ye Tianchen, other than the Ye Family Patriarch, was the biggest! His words were even more useful in the family than Ye Nanye''s.


    Gritting his teeth, he silently swore as well. His talent had already reached its limit. If he still could not make a breakthrough in his life, what was the use of it?


    "Xiao Wucheng."


    Ye Tianchen stood up, looked at Xiao Wucheng and slowly said: "You, Li Changfeng and Xu Sheng, are the three City Defense Army Commanders with the highest Pine Wind County. "It''s better to see than to hear it all. Meeting you today is indeed a bit beyond my expectations."


    Xiao Wucheng raised his eyebrows, and said sarcastically: "What, you want to fight too?"


    Although he said this, his body was already slowly retreating. The surrounding people didn''t know why, but they immediately let out a wave of sighs.


    Although he loved to fight, he was clear on the facts. Ye Tianchen was the number one expert sitting in Qingcheng County, an existence. Perhaps the commoners didn''t know such a great name. However, he was the commander of the defense forces in the Pine Wind County city, so it was impossible for him to not know.


    Even if he were to use the full strength of the Sun Emperor Seal, he would only be able to be one-shot. He could only pray that Ye Tianchen would not make a move.


    In fact, the possibility of Ye Tianchen making a move was not high. If the news of the fight between the two counties reached the Spirit Province of Youzhou, it would become troublesome. And Ye Tianchen was only a member of the Ye Family, not a member of the City Lord''s Mansion.


    "I don''t care about this matter." After standing blankly in the sky for a while, Ye Tianchen finally spoke out. "But I think that there are some things that you need to understand as well."


    He directly took a few steps forward, and finally stopped at a place that was close to a hundred meters away from Xiao Wucheng! His lips moved, obviously communicating through voice transmission.


    Sound transmitted into his ears, the ability of his Earth Origin Stage. This was something that even Xiao Wucheng could barely manage.


    Seeing Ye Tianchen''s action, the expression of the nearby Hong Yang also abruptly changed! Who knew what Ye Tianchen would say? His preconceived notions could very easily cause Xiao Wucheng''s judgment to be at a loss for words.


    The sound transmission was very short, only a few dozen seconds had passed. Soon after, Ye Tianchen faintly smiled, and without saying another word, he directly grabbed the half-dead Ye Nan and flew back in the direction of the Qingcheng County.


    Only Xiao Wucheng remained, standing in place in shock and bewilderment. A moment later, he shook his head helplessly. Finally, he waved his hand and said, "They have completed what they wanted. They let him go. We''ve already delayed it for an hour, so it will not be fun if we continue delaying. "


    With his command, the border began to move again. During the previous battle, there had once again been a large number of people. Right now, there were at least three to four thousand people gathered on this plain.


    At the border of two counties, one side was a large commercial city and the other side was the capital of Qingcheng County. The terrifying flow of people was hard to estimate.


    Xiao Wucheng also left immediately after. Hong Yang and Duan Yu looked at each other and laughed bitterly.


    Fortunately, they were not discovered. Therefore, he could only take things one step at a time.


    No matter what, at least they had returned to the Pine Wind County.

 C63

    He returned to the Yuannan City. Hong Yang and the other two also rushed towards the City Lord''s Mansion. Now, Hong Yang''s Black Army Command Token could finally be used.


    The sky had turned slightly yellow, but there was still a long way to go before sunset. After they arrived at City Lord''s Mansion and showed their black military orders, the three of them entered.


    Only Duan Yu''s expression was somewhat ugly. The last time he came to this City Lord''s Mansion, he was still a prisoner.


    And this time, he entered as a friend. But he still felt uncomfortable all over. I wonder how that Xing Shu is doing ¡­


    To him, the Star Moon Sect must have already issued a killing order. Any place that had disciples who betrayed and left the sect would be sentenced to death.


    However, it should still be safe within this City Lord''s Mansion. Hong Yang and the rest could not stay here for long. He could only hope that they had left the city earlier.


    After all, Star Moon Sect was a small force. It would already be good enough if they could influence their Yuannan City. At that time, he would be able to flee to any place in the Pine Wind County and be safe.


    Entering the palace with etiquette, he met Chen Tianqi once. Afterwards, the three of them returned to the courtyard and met Xiao Wucheng.


    Li Changfeng and the eight Earth Origin Stage experts were all not present. This also caused Hong Yang to be slightly surprised. Under his confusion, he also asked.


    Xiao Wucheng answered: "They have already gone back to report. I was the only one who stayed because I felt that something was wrong. I never thought that this would be the result of an accident. "


    Hong Yang was also silent for a while. Indeed, if Xiao Wucheng was not present. Then, not to mention Ye Tianchen, even Ye Nan Mu wouldn''t be able to stop the entire Yuannan City.


    "You''re at the Qingcheng County, what exactly happened?" Xiao Wucheng thought for a moment, then asked: "You actually attracted Ye Tianchen to chase after you? "Tsk tsk, even I would have to fear someone this strong."


    There was a trace of mockery in his tone. Apparently, he was in a good mood. Hong Yang, being puzzled, also told them the whole story.


    "What? The black clothed man from eighth rank?" After hearing it, Xiao Wucheng also immediately exclaimed out, "How, how is this possible!?"


    Gu Changdong was only at the ninth stage of the Returning Origin Stage, how could he possibly know a profound practitioner at such a young age, and even let them deal with him!


    No matter who it was, they would all sweat for Hong Yang. Escape from a eighth rank Ranker''s hands! This luck isn''t something that everyone can have ¡­


    eighth rank, the nature of this matter would become completely different. This kind of strength, even Pine Wind County couldn''t be used! The person with the highest Pine Wind County was that Xu Sheng, who had already reached the peak of Earth Origin Stage and was currently trying to break through to the seventh step.


    Some of the people that the imperial families sent out were all people with strength around the Earth Origin Stage. The warriors under him, as well as the ten Earth Origin Stage experts, were practically all the defensive power of the Pine Wind County.


    Within a county, there wasn''t even a single expert with eighth rank! Even within the Qingcheng County, there was only one such person. The whole matter was now completely different.


    "It is indeed eighth rank. If not for that Ye Tianchen who rushed over in time, I am afraid we would all have perished at this very moment. " Duan Yu was still a little afraid as he interrupted his. Xiao Wucheng shot a glance at him, but did not say a word.


    "And then? "I heard that the reason you were chased was because you ¡­" Xiao Wucheng stopped laughing, and said softly: "The thing you said to cripple Ye Nanlu?"


    The corner of his mouth twitched, and Duan Yu looked at Hong Yang with some difficulty. It was really hard for him to imagine how Hong Yang, with his personality, would do something like this.


    "Yes. According to the law of Youzhou, this was indeed the case. Then I was forced to use the Qingcheng County for personal gain. " Hong Yang could only smile in embarrassment. There was nothing wrong with what he had done. It was just that he looked too comical.


    After Hong Yang finished this sentence, his expression had also become strange. Ye Tianchen did not explain the entire situation to Xiao Wucheng, or threaten him. but rather... Did he say this out loud?


    "No wonder his Qingcheng County won''t let you off." Xiao Wucheng forced himself to stop laughing, and said: "You brat, you''ve cut off my back."


    Hong Yang was startled, then confused: "En, what do you mean?"


    Duan Yu and Luo Dongting were startled, and then they understood. Even someone close to fifty years old like Luo Dongting could not help but laugh.


    "Although Ye Nanye is the mayor, he is already over thirty years old and did not leave a single son behind. Reason... Therefore, they placed all their hopes on Ye Nanlu. "


    "And now you have crippled Ye Nanlu''s words as well. Ye Nan Ye and Ye Nanlu were siblings, which meant that ¡­ Their lineage will never be able to continue on. "


    After hearing this sentence, Hong Yang finally understood. His face twisted.


    Unexpectedly, his casual strike had caused such a serious consequence. He now understood why Ye Tianchen did not want the city guards to personally come and capture him.


    However, Xiao Wucheng was very happy. "The Ye Family''s side branch is really big, if you don''t know them by heart, then you''ll know how many people there are. "You have cut off Ye Nanye''s descendant, I am afraid within a few years, the Ye Family will be in chaos."


    Pine Wind County and Qingcheng County, were practically the enmity of this world! In order to compete for resources, there were still a few things that happened between the two counties. However, because of Pine Wind County''s geographical location, it had always been at a disadvantage these past few years.


    The people of the Spirit Continent basically wouldn''t care about this matter. As long as it was not a large-scale military confrontation or a traitor, the higher-ups would basically turn a blind eye.


    "What are you going to do next?"


    After a simple understanding of the sequence of events, Xiao Wucheng also became serious, and said worriedly: "I will definitely not let you off the hook with regards to the Qingcheng County. Although they didn''t dare to speak out in the Pine Wind County, they still secretly ¡­ I think it''s still possible. "


    His heart shivered. Indeed, there was still a long way to go until he reached the capital of the Pine Wind County. If he were to say that he encountered a bandit while he was on the road and was being intercepted, there would be no place for him to cry.


    "Pine Wind County must definitely be returned. The order to kill Luo Family will be issued after we return. " Hong Yang shook his head, but denied it: "Besides, Luo Qingyao is still at Pill Master''s Luo Family, I can''t just sit there and do nothing."


    "If you go back, it will be even more dangerous."


    After Xiao Wucheng heard this, he became even more worried. This also caused Hong Yang to be puzzled: "Why?"


    Xiao Wucheng laughed bitterly, "Considering Suo Qingqiu''s character... Will he protect you? "

 C64

    Hong Yang was startled, although he didn''t have a deep impression of Suo Qingqiu. But from the brief conversation that day, he could already guess what it was.


    Even though Suo Qingqiu was a princess, his personality was clearly not one that would act decisively. If he angered someone with Qingcheng County, he would not protect Hong Yang.


    If Suo Qingqiu found out about this, he would not only not protect Hong Yang, but would also hand him over. This was also consistent with his personality.


    Thinking about it, Hong Yang also felt powerless. In order to investigate the case, after he escaped from the Qingcheng County, could he not afford to stay any longer?


    Then what about Luo Qingyao ¡­ At this moment, in the bottom of Hong Yang''s heart, she was already thinking of Luo Qingyao.


    I wonder how her Luo Family is doing recently ¡­ Aside from her and Luo Dongting, she was also bullied a hundred times within the Pill Master''s Luo Family. And now, with Luo Dongting here, how would she fare?


    Hong Yang had a good impression of this woman. Even though he knew that he would never be able to interact with her in his entire life.


    "If it''s Pine Wind County, I must definitely return. I have nowhere else to go. " Hong Yang was quiet for a moment, then nodded: "I will never return to Ningyang City, ever."


    Only the heavens knew how chaotic the current Ningyang City was, and there was no news that a new City Lord had taken over. Hong Yang had never wanted to come into contact with such a place in his entire life.


    Xiao Wucheng also saw something. After a moment of silence, he said, "Then let''s rest here for the night and set off tomorrow. If we drag it out for a few more days, and the people from Qingcheng County come back, then things won''t be so fun. "


    Hong Yang did not know about Ye Nan Ye''s secret, and had already stirred up a great disaster. No matter what, Ye Nantian would never let him go!


    But if they were to return to the Pine Wind County, they would be in the capital after all, so no one in the Qingcheng County would dare to be presumptuous. Even in the Ye Family''s private name, they had to consider the consequences of causing trouble in a county''s capital.


    After thinking for a while, Xiao Wucheng''s gaze turned towards Duan Yu and he frowned. He naturally knew Duan Yu as well. And when Duan Yu came into contact with his gaze, he unconsciously shrank back.


    In the Yuannan City Market, it was Xiao Wucheng who had killed his junior brother! He knew how terrifying the man in front of him was. And, Xiao Wucheng didn''t have too much good of a impression of Duan Yu either.


    He looked at the tense atmosphere between the two. Hong Yang also explained in a hurry, the enmity towards Duan Yu in his eyes finally dissipated a bit. Snorting coldly, he no longer spoke.


    Hong Yang was right, betraying the sect was equivalent to betraying the martial way. But in the end, Duan Yu was unable to control himself. Otherwise, with Xiao Wucheng''s character, he would have crippled his dantian on the spot.


    Without delay, they also went back to their rooms to prepare everything. Even if it were a Earth Origin Stage expert, it would still take at least half a day to go back and rest.


    When they reached the fifth fragment of the night, the four of them got up. After calling for the city gates to open, they immediately ran out of the city, rushing towards the Pine Wind County.


    The morning sun had yet to appear, only a burst of white in the east. Fortunately, up until now, nothing had changed.


    "Oh right, Brother Dongting." After walking a distance, Hong Yang suddenly asked: "That Sky Dragon Dagger, where is it now?"


    Luo Dongting pondered for a moment, then answered: "He should still be at Luo Qingyao''s place. After all, she had brought it with his. Since she is unwilling to hand it over, there is no need for family head to force her. "


    He heaved a sigh of relief. It was good enough that the Sky Dragon Dagger was still here. That thing would attract Gu Changdong, and perhaps even the terrifying forces backing him would try to snatch it away. Truly extraordinary.


    The entire Pine Wind County, and even the City Lord''s Mansion, could not protect this thing. And only the Luo Family of the Pill Master s had such abilities.


    When he thought about Luo Qingyao, Hong Yang felt that he had forgotten something. After thinking for a while, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Luo Dongting and said anxiously: "That ¡­ Her wedding with Luo Xiao, when was it set? "


    Luo Qingyao had once told him that family head, in a hurry, had actually decided to marry her to Luo Xiao! She was extremely dissatisfied with this wedding, and from the looks of it, Luo Xiao was not a good person either.


    He had actually forgotten about this!


    "Ten days later, on the second day after you left, the Luo Family began preparing." Luo Dongting was silent for a moment, and said in a heavy voice as well, "Ten days worth of time. From now on... "It shouldn''t be far."


    They went to Yuannan City for two days, and stayed there for one day. Going to Qingcheng County took one day, and then returning took one day. Counting the time spent there, he stayed in Qingcheng County for three days. In total, eight days had passed.


    In eight days, there were only two days left!


    Luo Dongting seemed to have also realized the severity of the problem. He was naturally very dissatisfied with the family head''s decision to casually marry Luo Qingyao off! This Luo Qingyao was not some other woman, after all, she was the biological daughter of Ningyang City. Not to mention that she was only eighteen years old, and had dual cultivated in the arts and arts, both of which had reached the second rank.


    The Returning Origin Stage s were naturally at the cannon fodder level. However, the Pill Master second rank... This was already an extremely terrifying talent! Luo Dongting had been poor for a lifetime, but in the past fifty years, he had only broken through to the fourth rank.


    Although he was very dissatisfied, Luo Qingyao''s talent was also extraordinary. However, she was still a girl, so she couldn''t decide her own fate. And that Luo Xiao, a twenty-two year old Pill Master''s second rank cultivation, was also an extraordinary talent.


    So no matter how much Luo Dongting and Luo Qingyao objected, it was useless. Counting it, the Ningyang City bloodline was not directly related to him. And the method of this marriage could be considered as directly related to Luo Qingyao.


    If his Ningyang City had not been destroyed, this would naturally be a good thing. But now, the nature was completely different.


    "Two days. "If I ride fast enough, I''ll definitely be able to make it back." Pursing his lips, Hong Yang also said while clenching his teeth. With a wave of the whip, he increased his speed.


    Although he knew there was nothing he could do, and he couldn''t interfere! But no matter what, he had to do something.


    When he went to the Qingcheng County s, not only did he not capture and investigate the matter with Gu Changdong, he even provoked an enemy and caused Luo Dongting''s cultivation of cultivation to decrease! Just by this point, he no longer had the face to face with.


    Those words that Luo Qingyao asked him to leave behind before she left were still fresh in her ears. No matter what... Hong Yang had already decided in his heart that no matter what, he would meet Luo Qingyao once before the wedding.


    A woman''s greatest sorrow was that she could not marry the person she loved. Luo Qingyao was such a woman, but with her personality, she naturally would not fight against her.


    A sentence suddenly appeared in Hong Yang''s mind. where did Luo Qingyao say to him in the courtyard of the Luo Family?


    "If it wasn''t for the frozen lake, I really want to jump down like this."

 C65

    Two days later, in the afternoon. The west gate of the Pine Wind County.


    The four horses flew directly into the city gate. It was Hong Yang and the rest. They had hurried on their journey through the night, and had finally returned.


    After Xiao Wucheng entered the city, he immediately went to report to the County Lord''s Mansion. He acted on his own accord. Staying in the Yuannan City for such a long time, Suo Qingqiu would probably be furious. This was not a small matter.


    After all, he was one of the three city defense commanders of Pine Wind County, and it had a lot to do with him. Fortunately, he had saved Hong Yang and the other two.


    After Xiao Wucheng left, the three of them dismounted from their horses. Pine Wind County were not Yuannan City. As a capital of a county, even if you were an expert in Earth Origin Stage, you could not ride a horse in the city.


    After all, there were countless people in the city. Unless there was an emergency or special permission. Otherwise, anyone who rode a horse in the city without permission would be punished for his crimes.


    The enforcement of the law was strict, this was also Suo Qingqiu''s usual style.


    "We are now... Is it also to go to the County Lord''s Mansion? " After entering the city, he casually found an inn to keep the horses, and Duan Yu also asked: "Xiao Wucheng has gone to report.


    After all, Suo Qingqiu was the one who authorized this investigation. Xiao Wucheng had gone back, so logically speaking, he should have gone back as well.


    "I want to return to Pill Master''s Luo Family. As for County Lord''s Mansion. " Luo Dongting looked in the direction that Xiao Wucheng had left and said, "I don''t recommend that you go. Xiao Wucheng also said it already, Suo Qingqiu will not protect you. Then his attitude towards this matter will probably be completely different. "


    This attitude, Suo Qingqiu had already explained it before he left. Right now, since Hong Yang had really provoked the hatred of the Qingcheng County, according to Suo Qingqiu''s personality, the chances of him handing it over would probably be higher.


    Hong Yang also nodded, his impression of Suo Qingqiu, was similarly not much better. He couldn''t go now, nor could he if he didn''t go now.


    "Oh right, Luo Qingyao''s wedding, should be tomorrow, right?" After thinking about it, Hong Yang suddenly remembered Luo Qingyao''s wedding. This was what he was truly worried about.


    Luo Dongting acknowledged his presence and was about to leave. Hong Yang called out to him once again, "Then I don''t know ¡­ Can I see Luo Qingyao again? "


    "Meet?" Luo Dongting was startled for a moment, then shook his head: "I''m afraid not. With the wedding day approaching, Luo Qingyao''s position was extremely special. "If we want to meet now, I''m afraid it will be very difficult ¡­"


    He looked at Hong Yang, went silent for a moment, and said: "If you have anything to say, then tell me face to face. "After we get back, I will pass on the message to Qingyao."


    Hong Yang also understood this logic, but he had never given up. Hearing that, he bitterly said: "I was the one who saved her from the Ningyang City. Do I not even have the qualifications to do so now? "


    He also remembered what Luo Qingyao said to him the day before she left. Although Qingyao was also a member of the Luo Family, she was, after all, not a direct disciple. Other than Dongting and him, she basically had nothing else to rely on in the Pill Master.


    With Qingyao''s innate talent, above Luo Xiao, even talking about the number one Luo Family person was not excessive. However, she was still a girl, so she couldn''t decide her own fate ¡­


    Otherwise, for a cultivation that had reached the Pill Master''s second rank at the age of nineteen, it would definitely cause the Luo Family to pay great attention to her.


    "You do have the qualifications. But you are, after all, someone with a different surname to the Pill Master''s Luo Family. If you really want to meet me, I have to report this matter to the family head. Luo Dongting could only reply.


    If it was in a normal situation, with the contribution Hong Yang had made by saving Luo Qingyao, it would not be a big deal to see him again. However, right now was a special period. Even if it was him, he would not be able to make the decision.


    He thought to himself. It was already the afternoon, and after reporting to the family head, they would probably have to meet again tomorrow. Tomorrow is the wedding day, for three days. In these three days, Hong Yang was unable to wait any longer.


    "There are some things I must say in front of her. is because of the Ningyang City ¡­ " Hong Yang had no choice but to lie now: "The wedding is three days. After the wedding, she would be Luo Xiao''s woman. When I see my wife, would I even have the right to do so? "


    Duan Yu was confused. He knew about Gu Changdong, but he did not know what relationship Luo Qingyao had with him.


    Luo Dongting was also startled upon hearing this. He thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Then let''s do it this way." Tonight, at the eastern gate of Luo Family, you can rely on the black military order to enter the Luo Family. "When the time comes, I''ll wait for you at the east gate."


    With Hong Yang''s status and the black order in his hands, it would not be difficult for him to enter Luo Family. However, if he wanted to find the place where Qingyao was at, with his strength alone, he definitely wouldn''t be able to do so.


    Nodding his head, Hong Yang did not say anything more. After making an agreement, Luo Dongting headed in the direction of Luo Family and left.


    As for Hong Yang and Duan Yu, they casually found a tavern. Hong Yang was already addicted to alcohol, and had not touched a single drop in these past few days, so he had long since been unable to hold himself back.


    He ordered three jars of wine. Duan Yu''s alcohol tolerance wasn''t high, but he still drank with Hong Yang. After a short while, two jugs of wine were consumed. The two of them showed signs of dizziness on their faces.


    A few people suddenly entered the tavern after drinking half of it. Hong Yang took a closer look and discovered that among these people, there was one who was actually someone he knew.


    Luo Xiao.


    As the wedding was near, this Luo Xiao actually brought a few people here to drink. There were four people in total. They asked for a private room and headed upstairs.


    "Hmph."


    Walking to Hong Yang''s side, Hong Yang suddenly let out a cold snort. He didn''t have a good impression of this Luo Xiao either. He was just a playboy.


    Luo Xiao had also discovered Hong Yang. After that, he looked at Hong Yang''s current state, and his face revealed ridicule, as he mocked: "Why, have you returned from the Qingcheng County? I wonder if we managed to catch Gu Changdong? "


    He also did not have a good impression of Hong Yang. That day, before he left, in that room, Luo Xiaoyu''s attitude towards Hong Yang had also made him somewhat unhappy. Now that Hong Yang borrowed the alcohol to ease his worries, he naturally felt it to be somewhat funny.


    "I don''t need you to care about my matters." Hong Yang put down his wine bowl and also sneered.


    The reason he could not capture Gu Changdong was naturally because of the hatred in his heart! The strength of the black-robed man''s eighth rank caused Hong Yang to feel a chill in his heart to this day.


    That level was not something he could touch at all. It might even be difficult for one to touch the Luo Family of Pill Master s.


    The sneer at the corner of Luo Xiao''s mouth became even more pronounced, "Indeed. The arrest of Gu Changdong is your problem, not mine. "Why should I ask?"

 C66

    "Indeed. The arrest of Gu Changdong is your problem, not mine. "Why should I ask?"


    After Luo Xiao finished this sentence, he directly went upstairs, and did not look at Hong Yang anymore. Hong Yang also stood up, and looked at him while smiling: "The one who died was your Luo Family, not my Hong Family."


    Luo Xiao''s figure slightly paused. However, it only paused for a moment. In the next second, he continued to walk toward the hallway without turning back to look at Hong Yang.


    "Who is this person?" When Duan Yu saw Hong Yang sit down and drink with a heavy heart, he asked curiously, "Why would ¡­ Is he even a member of the Luo Family? "


    Hong Yang''s last sentence had already revealed Luo Xiao''s identity as a person of Luo Family. Duan Yu naturally heard it.


    "Young Master''s fianc¨¦." Hong Yang lowered his head and drank a mouthful of wine, and then said indifferently. However, Duan Yu opened his eyes wide: "Fianc¨¦?"


    Following that, Hong Yang also explained the matter of Luo Qingyao and Luo Xiao''s marriage to each other in a simple manner. Duan Yu frowned, "Even though Qingyao is a woman, this kind of talent is really hard to come by. Such a hasty decision, isn''t it too inappropriate? "


    "Who knows?" Hong Yang was already a little drunk as he helplessly said, "Qingyao will reach Pill Master''s second rank at the age of nineteen. As for that Luo Xiao, he had only reached it at the age of twenty-three. "In four years, the difference is just too great."


    What he said was right, for Qingyao to reach the Pill Master''s second rank at the age of nineteen, her talent must be terrifying. As for those twenty years old or older who became Pill Master s, they were around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and there were quite a few of them in the original Taiyi Sect of the sect.


    "He''s just a hedonistic disciple." With a cold laugh, Hong Yang also directly opened the third jar of wine. The alcohol was strong, but he frowned and did not continue to drink.


    It was lucky that he went to see Luo Qingyao tonight. When the time comes, he would be reeking of alcohol. That''s not good.


    It was impossible to eliminate it in two hours.


    In next to no time, a wave of noise came from within the room. Hong Yang sneered. He really didn''t have a good impression of these hedonistic disciples.


    If this Luo Xiao was allowed to become the next family head, then Luo Family would definitely not be able to compete with him. Xiao Family was the number one family in the Spirit Continent, the Pill Master, and it was not part of the Pine Wind County. And all these years, his Luo Family had only been second in the region.


    "My money will be settled by the young masters above." Hong Yang called for the waiter as he spoke. The waiter had also seen the conversation between the two, so he naturally did not suspect much.


    After making a small hole, Hong Yang returned to the place where he kept the horses and stayed there for a while. It wasn''t until the sound of the bell rang at midnight that he finally stood up and walked toward Luo Family.


    Duan Yu did not follow him. He did not know Luo Qingyao, following him would instead be a type of trouble.


    He had already visited the Pill Master''s Luo Family once before, so he was naturally familiar with the road this time. He went straight to the east gate.


    After being stopped, Hong Yang took out his black military order and said, "People of County Lord''s Mansion." Then, he would be reassured. Although they did not know about the importance of the Black Army Token, the symbol on the County Lord''s Mansion would definitely not be wrong.


    Under the darkness of the night, the courtyard of the Luo Family seemed to be extremely lonely. However, at this moment, some of the tables in the courtyard had already been properly paid their visits. The ceremonial cannons had also been prepared. The atmosphere of joy was self-evident.


    Only Hong Yang knew that to Luo Qingyao, this was not some "joyous thing".


    He found a place to sit down in the courtyard. Hong Yang quietly waited for Luo Dongting to arrive. Once the Spiritual Sense was released, there would be quite a few people monitoring this area.


    Luo Family were, after all, Luo Family, and their strength definitely could not be underestimated. As he probed, Hong Yang discovered seven or eight auras, all of them above Returning Origin Stage.


    Furthermore, if they were to be matched with medicinal pellets, their fighting strength would definitely not be limited to just Returning Origin Stage. The cultivation s of the Luo Family were not high, but with the help of medicinal pellets, it was possible for them to fight even if they were at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage!


    The aura of Hong Yang was already at the eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage, so it was naturally impossible for him to not be discovered. Therefore, Hong Yang didn''t have any plans to hide right now.


    He quietly sat on a bench and waited. Very quickly, Hong Yang''s heart moved as he looked in a direction.


    A figure suddenly logged on at that place. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. Hong Yang also slowly stood up and walked in that direction.


    The person who came was Luo Dongting. When he saw Hong Yang, he nodded, but did not say a word.


    Hong Yang also understood what was going on and kept his mouth shut. Although there did not seem to be many Pill Master''s Luo Family at night, they were still terrifyingly heavily guarded.


    Luo Dongting didn''t expect that he would be walking towards their place. Instead, he was walking towards the rear garden. As the top family with the best Pine Wind County in the entire Pill Master, the rear garden was also incomparably huge.


    "We... What are you doing here? " Hong Yang was startled, then he looked at Luo Dongting with a puzzled expression. The residences were all in the vicinity of the main hall, or in the east and west rooms. Apart from a few servants, no one had ever heard of anyone living in the back garden.


    "Since the marriage is near, we naturally have to protect that little girl Qing Yao." Luo Dongting laughed bitterly and shook his head helplessly: "This is also part of family head''s plan. In fact, there was a nice place in the back garden. "For the past few days, Qing Yao has been living inside."


    Hong Yang thoughtfully nodded his head, as he also understood what was going on.


    After arriving at a certain location in the rear flower garden, Hong Yang suddenly felt a few strong Spiritual Sense s locking onto him. These few people, were actually all Earth Origin Stage experts!


    With his current strength, he could only escape from the hands of a Earth Origin Stage expert.


    However, Luo Dongting completely ignored this aura. The room was brightly lit, and not a single person could be seen. However, Hong Yang knew that if he pushed the door open and entered this instant, he would probably be smashed into smithereens in an instant.


    "This is the place." Luo Dongting stopped and took a deep breath, before he said, "Behind us is a wall about seven or eight meters tall. When the time comes, you can climb over the wall. The people who were guarding that place have already been sent back by me. "


    His words naturally gave him a certain amount of benefits. Hong Yang was shocked. If this matter were to be made known to the Luo Family family head s, even Luo Dongting would receive a very deep punishment!


    He never thought that Luo Dongting would waste so much effort just for him to be able to meet Luo Qingyao once.


    Nodding his head, Hong Yang said seriously: "I understand. Seven or eight meter high wall ¡­ It shouldn''t be too difficult for me. "

 C67

    After bidding farewell to Luo Dongting, they arrived at the place Luo Dongting had indicated. Hong Yang looked at the wall and felt a burst of fear.


    This wall was also abnormally sturdy. It was at least seven to eight meters in height.


    However, there were no surveys on it. Hong Yang also let out a light breath of relief. He knew that Luo Dongting wasn''t lying to him.


    Thunder rumbled in the wind!


    Using his Qi to control the silence, Hong Yang immediately unleashed Wind and Thunder! Otherwise, he wouldn''t have been able to get past the seven to eight meter tall wall.


    "Pfft."


    Fortunately, no one noticed him landing with a light sound.


    What happened next, even Luo Dongting did not explain. He took a deep breath, and needed himself to find Luo Qingyao.


    After pondering for a moment, Hong Yang headed straight into the depths! To Hong Yang, these tricks were all up to no good. It wasn''t fun.


    Walking in directly, Hong Yang suddenly stopped at a certain place. A strange feeling began to spread in his heart.


    Here it is.


    He gently pushed open the door. A fragrance wafted in the air, but it was exceptionally cold. Just as Hong Yang pushed the door open, a person asked coldly: "Who is it?"


    Luo Qingyao''s voice. She also did not expect that someone would open the door and come in so late at night.


    "Hong Yang." Hong Yang also stepped forward and replied. Hearing Hong Yang''s response. The girl inside turned from a cold snort to a surprised one.


    Hong Yang knew that the other party had already confirmed his identity, so he didn''t hesitate and directly walked in. He then saw Luo Qingyao sitting on a chair, supporting her zither.


    The zither was extremely exquisite; it had clearly been specially made. This kind of beautiful scene, where the incense was burning and the zither played, appeared in front of Hong Yang.


    "Have you been well these past few days?" The scene became silent for a moment, and Hong Yang also completely forgot about the situation he wanted to ask. After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.


    Luo Qingyao smiled, and the surprised voice from before disappeared without a trace as she said indifferently: "You can''t help it, you''re about to get married. You think I... "Will it be okay?"


    Hong Yang was immediately at a loss for words. He released his consciousness and probed around outside. Luckily, no one had noticed this place for the time being.


    Now that her Ningyang City had been destroyed, although Luo Qingyao had safely returned to the Pill Master''s Luo Family, as someone from a side branch, regardless of how talented she was, it was impossible for him to enter the direct line of descent. Her only chance was to marry Luo Xiao.


    Hong Yang was naturally clear on this point, and back then, it was absolutely impossible for the family head s to not be able to consider it as well. But Luo Qingyao was definitely not one of those women who did it for the sake of power. Hong Yang was even more clear on this point.


    He was silent for a moment because he did not want to end the conversation. Afterwards, he told him about how he chased Gu Changdong from beginning to end.


    "An expert of eighth rank huh. Behind them, there is actually someone who is able to implicate such an expert. " Luo Qingyao remained calm, and was not the least bit surprised, "Since that''s the case, let family head issue the killing order. Since a branch family had been annihilated, it was still a loss of face for their Luo Family. family head will definitely not let this matter go either. "


    Hong Yang immediately said: "Regarding the killing order, Senior Dongting has already done it. I think even Sky Origin Stage experts would have to be wary of the Pill Master''s Luo Family Intercepting Token. "


    While Luo Dongting and the other two were walking forward. Since there was no gap, he naturally addressed his as "Brother Dongting". However, in front of Luo Qingyao, who was her uncle, she could not be lacking etiquette.


    "Yes." Luo Qingyao responded faintly, but did not say anything more. Perhaps it was due to the great torment of the past ten days, or perhaps it was due to her natural fear of facing her own arranged marriage. In the past ten days, she had changed a lot. Her originally slender figure became even thinner.


    "Do you want to hear a song?" Luo Qingyao went back to her bed and sat down, then picked up her zither, and smiled at Hong Yang. Without waiting for Hong Yang to react, he sprung up by himself.


    The ancient zither was graceful, burning incense and playing the zither. The sound of the zither was extremely melodious, but it also carried a faint sense of desolation. It seemed to be what Luo Qingyao was thinking at the moment.


    Hong Yang closed his eyes, and unknowingly, his mind had sunk in, and he was completely ignorant of what was happening in the outside world. It was only when the song was finished that he realized he had been sitting there in a daze for a long time. A look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he could only smile in embarrassment to conceal his awkward expression.


    A man stood there as if he was asleep, and he was enjoying the moment extremely. Right now, Hong Yang was already being rude. But Luo Qingyao did not mind, and just chuckled.


    "Hong Yang, I have something to request of you, do you agree to it?" Luo Qingyao regained consciousness when she saw Hong Yang. After a light laugh, he recovered.


    Hong Yang''s mind trembled, and asked curiously: "What is it?"


    Luo Qingyao muttered to herself for a bit, as though it was extremely hard to say. After two or three minutes, she finally mustered the courage to say, "Can you take me with you ¡­?" "Leave this place."


    This sentence seemed to have exhausted all the strength in her body! After saying this, she lowered her head and bit her lips like a little girl who had done something wrong. However, his eyes were still looking at Hong Yang, waiting for his reply.


    "What?" Hong Yang''s heart, however, was instantly shocked, "What do you mean ¡­ Leave this place? "


    He was extremely surprised! Tomorrow is the day of Luo Qingyao''s and Luo Xiao''s wedding. She actually thought that at this time ¡­ Escape?


    He couldn''t agree to her request no matter what. He himself was unable to give any explanation to the Luo Family s. If he still brought Luo Qingyao and escaped, then what would be facing him next would be endless fury.


    He would never be able to bear this anger! Then, he looked at Luo Qingyao. Just as he was about to reject, he was interrupted by Luo Qingyao.


    "If you don''t agree, I can immediately call for the people outside. When the time comes, it will depend on whether you can escape fast, or if they can enter faster. " In Luo Qingyao''s eyes, there was already a hint of a smile. However, her tone was extremely serious.


    Hong Yang knew her character, this was definitely not a joke.


    When those words came out, Hong Yang was immediately stunned. Luo Qingyao had actually begun to threaten him.


    He knew that if Luo Qingyao shouted. He was afraid that he would be caught in an instant, and after that, even Luo Dongting would be implicated.


    In the Ningyang City, Luo Qingyao acted on his own and broke out of the encirclement. Now, she had to repeat it again at home.


    For a moment, Hong Yang''s head also started to hurt. Standing here, Zhang Xuan didn''t know whether he should agree or not.

 C68

    A trace of ruthlessness also flashed past Luo Qingyao''s eyes. Even though she knew that this would hurt Hong Yang. But for now, she could only do so.


    If she really married that playboy Luo Xiao, then she would probably regret it for the rest of her life! Thinking of this, Luo Qingyao also felt unresigned in her heart.


    Her innate talent was clearly better than hers, but why did she marry him?


    Although she was a woman, she had some aspects that were not inferior to a man''s. One could tell this point, which was why his Ningyang City had been so decisive when they had broken through.


    A trace of unwillingness also flashed across Hong Yang''s eyes. It could be said that he had no good impression of Luo Xiao! Just thinking about how Luo Qingyao was going to marry him like that, a strange feeling uncontrollably emerged from the bottom of his heart.


    But he knew what was important and what wasn''t. Even if he couldn''t bear it, he still wouldn''t dare to escape with Luo Qingyao. Moreover, even if he was determined to escape, whether he could succeed was still a question.


    Luo Qingyao, however, secretly sighed: "Even if I did hear it, I would still feel satisfied." Didn''t he understand what she meant?


    Thinking about it, she saw that Hong Yang was still deep in thought, and her expression suddenly flashed with a hint of fierceness. He turned around and took out the Sky Dragon Dagger from the bedside.


    "I will not marry Luo Xiao no matter what. If you want me to marry him and live a life worse than death, then I might as well die! "


    Hong Yang lowered his head and thought. Hearing Luo Qingyao''s words, she looked up to see her wiping the dagger on his neck. I will accompany you to escape. "


    After saying these words, he suddenly came to realize that he was secretly regretting in his heart. He finally reacted, this was just Luo Qingyao''s plan.


    However, what he had just said could not be changed. After his regret passed, his face immediately became helpless.


    Hong Yang understood that a noble man would find it hard to keep up with a promise.


    Luo Qingyao''s face instantly revealed great joy, and she hurriedly said. "Then let''s hurry up and leave."


    "How can it be easy to escape from here?" Hong Yang actually looked around, and said helplessly in the end: "Moreover, when I first entered, I noticed at least seven or eight auras outside, and there were even Earth Origin Stage experts inside. With our Returning Origin Stage only at the eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage, how can we possibly escape? "


    "How did you get here? How are we supposed to escape?" Luo Qingyao said: "I had originally observed for a long time, but still did not have confidence. Now that you''re here, why don''t you just follow the way you came in and leave? "


    Hong Yang laughed helplessly: "I have come from a path that is exactly seven or eight meters high, and even I have to use a technique to get there. You are merely a Origin Returning Stage and you do not have any movement techniques, so how could you possibly go up? "


    That was a good seven to eight meters, there were even higher existences, that even Hong Yang could barely touch. It was simply impossible for Luo Qingyao, the existence of Origin Returning Stage.


    Even if Hong Yang carried him on her back, it was impossible for her to feel the additional weight that was behind her back.


    In Hong Yang''s opinion, this was an almost impossible mission.


    The strength of the Pill Master''s Luo Family was incredibly strong, if Hong Yang and Luo Qingyao wanted to escape, it would be akin to a dream. Perhaps, only with Ye Tianchen''s strength, would he be able to secretly take someone away from the Luo Family.


    The eighth stage of the Origin Returning Stage and the first stage of the eighth rank;


    However, Luo Qingyao did not give up. Instead, she looked around, and in the end, her gaze fixed onto the ceiling as she said: "What about up there? How about we take off the tiles and run away from the roof? "


    Hong Yang immediately denied flatly. "No way. The words on the roof were very eye-catching. It will definitely be discovered. "


    "No." Luo Qingyao shook her head, then slowly said: "The rear garden is full of peach blossoms. Most of the people who were lurking and watching were hiding on top of the peach tree, not on the roof. Furthermore, it''s already the middle of the night and the sky is still dark, so they might not be able to see through it. "


    "Besides, this place is surrounded by peach blossoms. There is only one house, and that is actually an advantage. All we have to do is jump off the roof and leave quickly. The guardian of the back door has been relaxed for a long time, so there might be a way. "


    "Jump off the roof?" Hong Yang was immediately shocked, "There are expert Spiritual Sense s covering the entire area. Once you jump, it''s impossible for you to not be discovered. "


    "After the end of the child''s time. Those people would change their guard once. Every four hours until the sun rises. " Luo Qingyao chuckled and said, "To change the position, you need to hand in the order badge and a series of other things. About ten minutes. Ten minutes is enough. "


    Hearing Luo Qingyao''s words, Hong Yang could only bitterly smile. Now that he was on the verge of success, he had no choice but to attack. Is there any other way than to agree to this?


    Counting the time, it was just the right time to enter from the east gate of Luo Family. Furthermore, they had been waiting for Luo Dongting to climb over the wall and come in here for almost an hour already.


    There was an hourglass in Luo Qingyao''s room that was used to calculate the time, so she was not worried about missing it.


    "Then let''s do it." Hong Yang nodded and agreed. He was already feeling extremely bitter in his heart, and was thinking of how to explain it to Luo Dongting.


    Luo Dongting opened a back door for this reason, and even took this risk, just so that he could meet Luo Qingyao once! But after meeting, he actually took Luo Qingyao and ran off?


    Although he didn''t mean it that way, outsiders would inevitably think differently. And Luo Dongting would definitely be punished by the family head s after this period of time.


    He checked the time in the hourglass. There was still a quarter left. It should be about time.


    "Then, what are your plans after this trip?" If he continued to stay in the Pine Wind County, he would probably be in danger. After all, in the entire Pine Wind County, if anyone wishes to flip over them, they can do so as well. "


    "I don''t know. But now, let''s talk after we get out. " Luo Qingyao shook his head and said helplessly: "At that time, I''ll go wherever you''re going."


    She also always knew that it was impossible for Luo Dongting to follow her out. And now, she had no one else to rely on other than Hong Yang and Luo Dongting.


    So she had no choice but to do so. She did not want to stay in this Pill Master any longer.


    He was silent for a while, and when the time was up, there was only a little bit of time left. Hong Yang finally took a deep breath, looked at the roof, then turned and looked at Luo Qingyao, as he said slowly.


    "Then right now ¡­" Let''s do it. "Let''s go up first."

 C69

    The rooftop was not very high, and with Hong Yang''s strength, he only needed a moment to reach it. Even if he brought Luo Qingyao along, it was still possible.


    He then jumped up and stood on top of the bed, removing a few tiles. When there was enough time for one person to pass, he stopped.


    Luo Qingyao also slowly laid on top of it. After going up, Hong Yang immediately turned around and jumped up. And Luo Qingyao, was also pulled up by Hong Yang as well.


    The night was beautiful, and she actually felt a little cold. Hong Yang looked around, and quickly identified the direction of the back door.


    The back door was to the north of Luo Family, where Luo Family and Feng Shui sat north to south. And not far from the back garden. With a bitter laugh, Luo Qingyao thought that this girl had planned quite accurately, and had already thought of a way to escape long ago.


    It was just that for things like going up to the rooftops and jumping down now, they needed Hong Yang''s help. A woman''s stamina is not as good as a man''s. Although Luo Qingyao does have Origin Returning Stage cultivation s, at most she could only raise her stamina to that of a normal man.


    Luo Qingyao flipped her hand and took out an object. Hong Yang took a closer look, and discovered that she had actually taken out that hourglass. Looking at the hourglass, she paused slightly before replying softly, "Now is the time."


    There was a height of five to six meters below the roof. Going down was clearly much simpler than going up. Even if it were a normal man, if they used some techniques, they would still be able to safely land on the ground, let alone those like them who practiced martial arts.


    Hong Yang clenched his teeth, and then released his Spiritual Sense, directly investigating the situation! But the result is obvious... As expected, none of those auras were left.


    Sensing that the people watching had disappeared, Hong Yang gritted his teeth, carried Luo Qingyao on his back, and shouted: "Let''s go!"


    Thunder rumbled in the wind!


    Although it was not a real cultivation technique, there were still some movement techniques that did not even have the chance to emit the sound of wind and thunder. With how simple it was, Hong Yang landed on the ground in the next second.


    After landing on the ground, the two of them said nothing and directly ran towards the north gate. They weren''t just going to escape, they were going to escape even further.


    In less than ten minutes, a new batch of people who came to monitor the situation would realise that Luo Qingyao had disappeared, and would immediately chase after the north gate! Right now, they still had to avoid these people ¡­


    "What are you going to do with the people watching us from the back door?" Hong Yang thought for a while and asked. Within the Luo Family, the back door was the north gate.


    "They should have changed at this time. Luo Family will change at the end of the hour every day, so this is also the time when the defenses are at its most relaxed. " Luo Qingyao muttered to herself for a moment, then replied: "As long as you have the key to open the door, you can escape."


    "Where did I get the key?" Hearing this, Hong Yang suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. Breaking open a metal door with a palm, with his level of Origin Returning Stage, was practically something that was impossible to accomplish.


    Luo Qingyao wasn''t worried in the slightest. After fumbling around in her pockets, she took out the key and gave it to Hong Yang. Hong Yang accepted it. Surprised, she couldn''t help but have a better impression of this girl.


    The Luo Family owner definitely would not hand over this key to her! For the sake of this key, Luo Qingyao had probably wasted a lot of her life.


    He then dashed towards the north gate. The rear garden was very large, but it was in the right direction. After a few minutes, he arrived at the north gate.


    At this time, those people had just left and the successor had yet to arrive. Hong Yang did not say a word, and silently increased his speed by a few points. Luo Qingyao was practically dragged along by Hong Yang as she ran. However, he still clenched her teeth, not saying a word.


    The clamoring sound came from behind them, and their hearts shivered. Those people must have realized that Luo Qingyao had disappeared. There wasn''t much time left for them.


    He quickly ran to the main entrance and took out Luo Qingyao''s key to open the door, then opened it. Soon after, the two of them also ran out.


    The very moment they closed the door! Behind him, there was a flash of light. Clearly, it was the shadow of a torch. Secretly shocked, Hong Yang couldn''t care so much anymore as he pulled Luo Qingyao along as he ran aimlessly on the main street.


    In less than ten minutes, Luo Family took out a torch and began searching. The efficiency of this move was terrifying; even within the County Lord''s Mansion, it was probably only this much.


    "Where to now?" After running for a while, Luo Qingyao could no longer hold on. She took out a medicinal pill and slowly swallowed it, recovering her strength.


    The pill was called ''Returning Energy Pill''. Although it was called ''Returning Energy Pill'', it was not used to replenish one''s Essence. Instead, it was used to replenish one''s physical strength. After taking the pill, Luo Qingyao''s pale face, which was originally due to running a long distance, also improved a little.


    Hong Yang himself was an expert of the eighth stage of the Origin Returning Stage, so he naturally did not need such a thing. Waiting until Luo Qingyao''s complexion slightly recovered, she also replied: "Return to the inn. Once you''ve taken the horses, you can directly leave the city."


    Hong Yang had the Black Army Command Token, so naturally, he could call for the city gate to open at any time. What''s more, Duan Yu was also in the tavern. If the three of them walked forward together, they would naturally gain a bit more power.


    After this, not just Luo Family, even Suo Qingqiu would definitely send people to chase after them. At that time, Hong Yang and the rest would probably face the pursuit of two countries at the same time.


    He and Luo Qingyao, there was no longer any room for regret! He had no choice but to shoot. The only thing they could do now was to leave the city first.


    It was already the middle of the night and there was no one on the street. There was only the lonely figures of Hong Yang and Luo Qingyao. The inn was extremely far from the northern gate of the Luo Family, so naturally, it would need some time as well.


    "Hong Yang!" After running for a while, Hong Yang suddenly realized that there was someone behind him shouting. Startled, he turned around to look as well.


    Behind him, there was not so many troops as he had expected. Instead, there was only one person. It was precisely this person that caused Hong Yang''s brows to directly furrow.


    Luo Xiao.


    In the middle of the night, if they wanted to run away, it was just a temporary thought! But she never thought that she would actually bump into Luo Xiao here.


    Seeing Luo Xiao, Luo Qingyao''s expression immediately turned cold! And Hong Yang''s eyes had also slightly narrowed, as he looked at him ¡­


    He was Luo Qingyao''s fianc¨¦ and had appeared here. It seemed that some trouble couldn''t be avoided.

 C70

    When Luo Xiao saw Hong Yang, his expression also instantly turned cold. After a moment, he said in a cold voice: "I met you earlier, although I don''t have a good impression of you. "However, I never expected that you would also be able to do such a thing."


    "What is it?" Hong Yang stopped, he could feel how Luo Qingyao was feeling right now. Taking a step towards Luo Xiao, he asked.


    Luo Xiao''s face seemed to be a little distorted. However, his tone gradually became flat, "You kidnapped my fiancee and now you''re asking me what it is? To elope is a matter of life and death according to the law of Youzhou. "


    When Hong Yang heard this, his face immediately changed.


    There was such a rule within the Youzhou Order! Although Luo Xiao and Luo Qingyao had not truly married yet. However, relatively speaking, it was not much different.


    No one would let him off this easily! No matter if it was Pill Master''s Luo Family, Pine Wind County Suo Qingqiu, or even Qingcheng County ¡­


    He originally only wanted to go in and meet Luo Qingyao once. He hadn''t thought that things would turn out like this.


    "Now turn around and surrender. I will directly send you to the government and stop worrying about this matter. " Luo Xiao shook his head, then laughed evilly: "If you continue. I will let you know what it means to have a life worse than death! "


    He is a person of the Luo Family, and definitely has the ability! And the matter of the wedding, was after all, a private matter of the Luo Family. It was likely that even County Lord''s Mansion would not interfere.


    Furthermore, it had fallen into the hands of the County Lord''s Mansion. According to the Youzhou Law, even if there were no death penalty, the number of cultivation that had been abolished. Hong Yang naturally could not return and obediently surrendered.


    Closing his eyes, he suddenly felt Duan Yu''s thoughts today. Wasn''t Duan Yu at that time the same?


    "I can''t go back." Hong Yang shook his head, then looked at Luo Xiao: "With just your Returning Origin Stage, do you think you can stop me?"


    In the corner of Luo Xiao''s eyes, an evil and charming smile suddenly appeared. "I am the Pill Master, do you think that I need to fight with your body?"


    Hong Yang slightly raised his eyelids, and suddenly cursed in the bottom of his heart! Immediately, he pushed Luo Qingyao away, pushing her to the side. He instantly dashed to the side.


    Thunder rumbled in the wind!


    Hong Yang immediately used his movement technique and rushed to the side. In the next second, a loud explosion occurred where he was standing!


    He and Luo Dongting had fought before, so the impact that the Luo Family''s Heaven Pill had on him was extremely deep! And now, it seemed as though the same thing was happening to Luo Xiao as well ¡­


    However, with his strength and identity, Heaven Pill s whose Luo Family could not possibly give him that kind of strength would at most only have Peak of Returning Origin Stage and not exceed Earth Origin Stage.


    "You''re crazy, if you explode like that, it would also have blown up Luo Qingyao!"


    Hong Yang roared out in a moment of desperation. Luo Xiao chuckled and replied: "So what?"


    Hong Yang looked at Luo Xiao''s face, he actually did not care about Luo Qingyao at all. Since that was the case, he should have come to stop him for her own fame and fortune.


    As a disciple of a noble family, his wife was snatched away by someone early on their wedding night and was now running away! Although the crime was the person who escaped the marriage, the face of this disciple from an aristocratic family would definitely be devoid of light, and it would be difficult to marry him again in his lifetime.


    This did not only concern him, it also concerned his Luo Family. A mighty Pill Master, who could be said to be the number one clan of the Pine Wind County, yet was forced to flee from a marriage, what kind of logic was that?


    His heart also suddenly became gloomy. Hong Yang naturally knew that this matter was of great importance, but he couldn''t go back on his words. If he went back on his word, how would he advance in the Martial Dao?


    His eyes slightly narrowed, and with a move in his heart, Hong Yang''s movement technique instantly exploded outwards! Luo Xiao was not Luo Dongting, and not even the people from Qingcheng County. He only had the Pill Master''s fourth rank, so this was the best way for him to face him.


    They were using cultivation s to suppress them! Hong Yang was at the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage, but his speed had already caught up to the Peak of Returning Origin Stage. Facing a Returning Origin Stage with just the speed of a Peak of Returning Origin Stage, there was naturally no problem at all.


    Thunder rumbled in the wind!


    Luo Xiao''s figure flashed towards the left. Lifting his eyes slightly, he suddenly tossed out a Heaven Pill in the same direction!


    Boom!


    Hong Yang''s figure instantly dodged, but even so, a piece of his clothes were still blown apart. With great shock in his heart, he raised his head as well and his gaze became serious.


    Grave, very heavy. Luo Xiao was a Pill Master, his perception was far superior to ordinary people. As long as he calmed down and observed carefully, he could actually identify his own body!


    Those Heaven Pill s were completely milky-white in color, equivalent to an attack from someone at the eighth level of Returning Origin Stage. It was the lowest kind of Heaven Pill.


    From the eighth level of Returning Origin Stage to the peak of the Earth Origin Stage, from milky white to red, and then purple. This was the hierarchy of Heaven Pill s.


    That attack was the equivalent of an attack from someone at the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage. Which is to say, he should be on the same level as Hong Yang''s rolling wind and thunder. If that was the case, then he should be a little inferior to Lei Hantian.


    In that case, he might as well do it. Even if he had to bet on getting injured, he had to quickly put it away for Luo Xiao.


    Otherwise, when the people from the Luo Family become aware of the battle here, they would definitely rush over quickly! At that time, he and Luo Qingyao would not be able to escape.


    Lifting his head, Luo Xiao suddenly threw out another Heaven Pill towards his direction! Just as the Heaven Pill left his hands, Hong Yang didn''t have time to think before directly rushing forward.


    That Heaven Pill ¡­ Unexpectedly, it already had some faint red lines on it.


    The thunder shook the sky!


    With both hands joined together, a powerful bolt of lightning burst forth from his hands and he charged forward! Hong Yang gritted his teeth as he concentrated on the scene in front of him.


    Boom!


    A huge muffled sound rang out, and Hong Yang''s figure immediately came to a halt. There were even a few huge scratches on his body. Obviously, he had been injured by the Heaven Pill.


    Even if he used his Peak of Returning Origin Stage, he still wouldn''t be able to block it. However, the full power of this move was more or less enough.


    Enduring the intense pain on his body, he suddenly went forward to face the attack once more! At this moment in his body, the sound of wind and thunder could be heard.


    Luo Xiao raised his head, a little pleased with himself. He had originally thought that under this move, even if Hong Yang didn''t die, he would at least be severely injured. However, in the next second, his face revealed a shocked expression!


    Hong Yang''s figure suddenly appeared above his head. Strange sounds of wind and thunder suddenly rang in his ears, making him lose his ability to think.


    Hong Yang looked at him, gently shook his head, and then directly unleashed a palm strike.

 C71

    His strength was at the eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage, which was four levels higher than Luo Xiao''s. Even a light palm would be enough.


    Bang!


    Luo Xiao was immediately sent flying like a cannonball. However, he only managed to fly four to five meters before he stopped. The shirt covering his upper body was torn and dripping with blood.


    He struggled to swallow a pill. Although it looked extremely terrifying, as long as one was a martial artist, there was no need to be afraid of these injuries. "If it didn''t hurt her organs, she could just swallow a few pills and rest for a few days.


    "I will never be able to keep up with my words. Although I know that I have let down my Luo Family, since I have agreed to it, I must take Luo Qingyao with me." Hong Yang walked over and gently spat out a sentence. He tried to keep his tone calm, but the truth was, his heart was still in turmoil.


    He was still struggling. After all, if this matter ended, it was likely that Luo Dongting would be implicated and would receive a huge punishment. Investigating the matter of Ningyang City and Gu Changdong, however, became even more impossible.


    Luo Xiao was already at a loss for words, and immediately activated his cultivation to recuperate. A moment later, he finally opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "You can try and enjoy the feeling of our Luo Family Interception Medallion."


    Hong Yang was shocked at the bottom of his heart. Even an expert of the eighth rank would need to fear a three-pronged killing order. Most likely, this time, it would fall on his head.


    "I can see that you don''t love Luo Qingyao, it''s just a marriage with power. What do you want to do when you get back, do as you please. "


    Hong Yang coldly threw down these words, then immediately turned around and left. However, his footsteps became faster and faster, and he seemed to be in a bit of a panic.


    The corner of Luo Xiao''s mouth rose slightly, as if he was mocking her. However, he was not mocking Hong Yang, but himself.


    After this matter, his status should have risen by a lot, and he might even become one of the candidates to become the next family head! But now, he would probably be mocked by the rest of his clan. This status was simply a delusion.


    Hong Yang walked back to Luo Qingyao''s side. Luo Qingyao did not care about the blood stains on his body, and continued to follow him. With the current situation so urgent, there was no time for them to hesitate.


    The inn where the horses had been kept was not far away. She went back to wake Duan Yu up. Duan Yu was shocked to see Hong Yang like this! It was only until Hong Yang smiled bitterly and explained it to them did they finally understand what had happened.


    "Tsk tsk, originally, Senior Dongting only risked his life to let you meet Miss Qing Yao. I didn''t expect you to directly kidnap her. " Duan Yu looked at Hong Yang and teased.


    Regarding this, Hong Yang could only smile bitterly. Duan Yu was quiet for a moment, then looked at Luo Qingyao, and asked: "Then what should we do now?"


    Hong Yang spread out his hands and said helplessly: "You should leave the city immediately. I still don''t know the situation with County Lord''s Mansion, but I have the black order, I can open the city gate at any time. When they left the city, it would be in the middle of the night as well. Even if they want to capture us, it will be quite difficult. "


    "Hm." Nodding his head, Duan Yu did not hesitate either. The three immediately stood up. Hong Yang changed his clothes, left the inn and rushed out of the city.


    From the moment Luo Qingyao entered the inn, she had not said a single word. She now understood the seriousness of the situation. If she ran, it would cause chaos in the entire Luo Family, or even the entire Pine Wind County.


    But if she were to return with such words, how could she possibly say them? If she were to marry a hedonistic disciple whose power was gone, she would rather run away! After all, this was the Pill Master''s Luo Family, not his Ningyang City.


    Hurriedly arriving at the top of the city gate, Hong Yang nervously displayed his black military order. Fortunately, their speed was not slow, and the soldiers guarding the city did not know of this matter.


    They left the city. And then he just ran ten miles away. At this moment, more than half of Chou Wu had passed. It was still quite a long time before daybreak.


    They also understood that they must quickly leave this place during this period of time when it was dark! Otherwise, if their whereabouts were exposed after dawn, it would be a dead end for them.


    "Where are we going now?" They had taken the west gate, which was the route to return from Yuannan City. And now, it was obviously impossible to travel westward.


    Travelling west, the result must be them reaching the Yuannan City again. Be it Yuannan City or the Qingcheng County, to them, they were both not inferior to the dangers of Pine Wind County.


    Since that was the case, he could only head south or north.


    "Let''s head north." Hong Yang muttered to himself for a while, and then decided: "The Taiyi County will be up north. Where are the Taiyi Sect of my sect? "


    "Weren''t you expelled by the Taiyi Sect?" Duan Yu said in surprise when he heard this. However, just as he said these words, he covered his mouth, self-aware of his slip of tongue.


    "Back then, I only accidentally injured him. That Law Enforcing Elder wanted to kill me directly!" Fortunately, he chased me out of the sect. It is unknown whether or not I can survive. " Hong Yang recalled what happened back then, and he also became a little sentimental. "He had always accepted me as his disciple, and had even designated me to come to this Ningyang City. As long as you alert the rest of the Taiyi Sect, it will be easy. We have nowhere else to go. "


    Back then, when Hong Yang went back to participate in the Hong Castle selection, he had many Taiyi Sect disciples accompanying him. However, in this duel, he had actually failed due to a moment of carelessness. Moreover, his opponent''s strength was too weak, so he had broken one of his opponent''s meridians. To make the other party lose greatly in terms of martial dao potential.


    That person was the grandson of the Taiyi Sect Enforcement Elder at that time. He reached the peak Returning Origin Stage at the age of twenty-four. However, under Hong Yang''s control, there were still no more than three moves. Who would have thought that in the end, Hong Yang would accidentally inflict serious injuries?


    That time, the Law Enforcement Clan Elder was enraged, he planned to use his power to seek for personal benefits and punish Hong Yang severely! However, Hong Yang''s master Ma Chengfeng found out about his intentions, and took the initiative to beat Hong Yang up, and kicked him out of the sect.


    This way, the law enforcement clan elder could no longer continue pursuing the matter, and could even punish Hong Yang. Even though Hong Yang had been expelled from the sect, he still retained his martial arts foundation, leaving behind a trace of hope.


    At that time, he was so angry that he lost his mind. Now that he thought about it, he understood his master''s painstaking efforts. He could not help but let out a bitter laugh.


    "Let''s go."


    After interrupting his memories, he looked at Duan Yu and then looked at Luo Qingyao who was behind him. The three of them had only two horses. Luo Dongting''s and Xiao Wucheng''s horses had already been brought back by them. Thus, Luo Qingyao was also sitting behind him.

 C72

    After daybreak, they had already run a full forty miles north. In this area, searching with Pine Wind County was already an extremely difficult task.


    However, they still did not stop. This thing would probably spread throughout the entire Pine Wind County within three days. Now, they didn''t have the ability to continue to delay him.


    And if one wanted to leave the Pine Wind County, it was extremely difficult to reach it within three days. They could only travel two hundred miles a day at most, and it was under the condition of traveling day and night. Without the conditions and the ability to switch horses, it was impossible to reach the legendary speed of 400 or 600 kilometers.


    "Not far ahead, it should be the Cloud Forest City." Based on the original map in his memory, Hong Yang quickly and truly identified the location in front of him.


    Cloud Forest City, third largest city in Pine Wind County. There was a large population, and if they continued onward, they would reach a boundless road, followed by Taiyi County.


    "Let''s take a rest here. We have nothing on us right now. We''ll have some food to replenish here, then directly go to the Taiyi County. " Duan Yu suggested.


    Right now, they could be said to have nothing on them at all. Hong Yang''s backpack had also landed somewhere when they were trying to escape. Fortunately, Duan Yu''s bag was still there, and there were still many pills that Luo Dongting had given him. Speaking of which, he had the ability to buy some things.


    Not to mention, he was just buying some basic rations and drinking water. These things didn''t require much price.


    Hong Yang nodded. However, Luo Qingyao suddenly pulled out a jade hairpin from her head, and then said slowly: "This is something that family head Luo Hua bestowed to me. You can use this to pawn and exchange for some money. "


    "Is it worth ten thousand gold?" Duan Yu was startled, and then swallowed his saliva. Even though she knew that this was only a vague concept that Luo Qingyao could speak of casually. However, once he said those words, he knew that this hairpin was extraordinary.


    "Now is the time to run for our lives. Money is just a piece of trash. Why do you have to care so much about it?" Luo Qingyao laughed, "Qingyao isn''t the type to admire and be conceited, so she naturally knows what''s important and what''s not."


    Hong Yang hesitated a bit before accepting it too. He naturally knew of the current situation and could not bear to refuse.


    He took the jade hairpin and went into the city to find a pawn shop to pawn it for a considerable price. Soon after, Hong Yang and Yue Yang also went to the marketplace and bought some necessities.


    Although Cloud Forest City was not a large commercial city like Yuannan City, there were still a lot of people. The market was naturally very crowded as well.


    After buying a few things, Hong Yang was preparing to leave the market. Suddenly, he saw an inconspicuous stall by the side of the road.


    The stall was filled with pellets, but it was just an ordinary object with the second rank of a first rank. This kind of thing could be found everywhere in the market, so naturally, it was not eye-catching.


    However, what caught Hong Yang''s attention was a dark and unassuming thing. That thing''s entire body was pitch black, and it was in the shape of a cylinder. It looked like one ¡­ A branch?


    Hong Yang''s mind stirred slightly. Elder Xiaoyao''s memories told him that this thing was definitely not ordinary. After thinking for a while, he also walked over.


    "How much is this thing?" He walked to the stall and asked slowly. The stall was occupied by a middle-aged man who was lying on a chair. Raising his eyelids to look at Hong Yang, he said: "2000 gold coins. If you can''t afford it, fifteen hundred is fine. "


    "Two thousand." Frowning, Hong Yang said. Not that high. Two hundred gold coins, is it for sale? "


    Luo Qingyao''s jade hairpin was only pawned for a little more than two thousand years. These two hundred gold coins were more than enough to buy a sack of basic pills. This price was already quite expensive.


    "1500 gold coins, no difference." That middle-aged man suddenly laughed, "If you are willing to tell me what this is, I might be able to sell it to you at a lower price."


    When Hong Yang heard this, he frowned. "You don''t even know what this is and you''re already setting up a stall to sell it?"


    "I am a Pill Master of the second rank, so I naturally know about all of these medicinal ingredients. "And this thing, my Essence is actually unable to invade it." The middle-aged man said, "In this world, even if it is metal refining, the Essence Qi can seep into it. Origin Energy is something that even the origin of cultivation cannot enter. Naturally, it is extremely precious. "


    Hong Yang heard all the nonsense he said and immediately felt a headache. Of course, he knew what it was. However, if he were to say it out loud, it would still be a matter of whether the other party was willing to sell it or not.


    He had spent dozens of gold coins to buy some food and basic necessities. If he took out another fifteen thousand, he would not know whether it would be worth it or not, and he did not know how to explain it to Luo Qingyao.


    That jade hairpin was the top choice for Pine Wind and Tian Yu. Two thousand gold coins a pawn was considered a small sum. Right now, using that high quality jade hairpin to exchange for this rotten piece of wood, he would probably be unable to explain it to Luo Qingyao.


    Moreover, even though Hong Yang knew what it was, he didn''t have the possibility of using it right now. It was only because he knew that this item was extraordinary that he was tempted to buy it.


    "Of course I know what this is. However, when I say it, I''m afraid that you won''t sell. " After pondering for a moment, Hong Yang said: "This thing is useless to you too. Why don''t the two of us talk to each other? I don''t think anyone would fall for this either. "


    The middle-aged man seemed to be moved. For the past few days, he had only sold a few pills at random. If there really was a suitable price, that would be for the best.


    "A thousand gold coins. That can''t be any less." After thinking for a moment, the middle-aged man opened his mouth again and said, "You said it yourself. I''m afraid that I won''t be able to sell it once I know about it. Naturally, this proves that it is extraordinary."


    Hong Yang smiled slightly. Naturally, the other party had already let go. If that was the case, then there was no need to be afraid of not being able to bargain.


    "Eight hundred. "This 800 gold coins is enough for you to go and sell the medicinal ingredients." he said again. Eight hundred gold coins was naturally his bottom line.


    That middle-aged man seemed to feel pain for a while. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "800 gold coins, that''s all."


    It dropped from two thousand gold coins to eight hundred in the blink of an eye. Naturally, he would not be so willing. But what Hong Yang said was not wrong, with 800 gold coins, it was enough for him to build a foothold in the market.


    After that, Hong Yang also took the black object and walked towards Duan Yu and Yue Shuang.

 C73

    "What is this?"


    The three of them gathered together once again. He packed up the food and drank some water so that he could support the horse. Hong Yang also took out the black object. Duan Yu immediately asked.


    Luo Qingyao closed her eyes and fell silent for a while. Then, he exclaimed: "This thing is also a treasure of the Pill Master?"


    Hong Yang nodded. Luo Qingyao''s knowledge was naturally not something that the Pill Master of a wandering cultivator could compare to. But Luo Qingyao could only feel that this was an object from the Pill Master, he did not know what it was.


    "If I''m not wrong, this thing should be called Soul-nourishing Wood. the fifth rank materials. " Hong Yang muttered to himself for a while, before giving out his judgement.


    Material for fifth rank!


    Duan Yu was shocked, the pills that he would usually come in contact with were things that ordinary people could not even compare to, or perhaps pills of the first tier. And this thing in front of him, was actually a necessary item to refine fifth rank materials?


    Luo Qingyao was also moved. In the entire Pill Master, there was only one person who possessed the fifth rank of the Pill Master s. Even she rarely saw anything related to fifth rank.


    She pondered for a moment, and then found the information on the Soul-nourishing Wood in her mind: "The Soul-nourishing Wood grows in a place that is rich with nature''s spirit energy, it must be a place that no one has stepped into for a year. Only when the spirit veins below gather their energy will they be able to grow. "


    "It''s just that ¡ª" She pointed at the object in Hong Yang''s hand, and then asked suspiciously: "Isn''t the Soul-nourishing Wood supposed to be entirely green? Why is this thing so dark? "


    "I think he was recklessly set on fire by that Pill Master of the second rank, carbonized." Hong Yang, on the other hand, disapproved. He gently flicked his finger and a piece of the charred bark fell from it. Although it has been calcined for a while, it is not too damaged. "


    He peeled off the entire Soul-nourishing Wood''s bark, and it immediately turned green. The life force was dense, and even if he ate it directly, it would have a healing effect.


    Hong Yang slightly smiled and continued to explain, "Within the Pill Master''s fifth rank, there are two types of pellets called the Soul Replenishing Pill and the Great Recovery Pill. Even if your foundation is damaged, and your soul is damaged, you can still use these two medicinal pills to achieve a certain degree of recovery. "


    If one did not exaggerate that the high-grade fifth rank pellets already had the effect of making flesh and bones of living and dying. It wasn''t strange for him to have achieved such an effect.


    Although Hong Yang could not use it right now. However, selling a single set of fifth rank materials would still cost at least two to three thousand gold coins. It was definitely not a loss to possess such a high-grade item.


    "Use this. I should be able to exchange it for that jade hairpin. " After saying that in a low voice, Hong Yang also made up his mind. After all, that jade hairpin was Luo Qingyao''s possession and was extremely valuable.


    "Hong Yang, you can''t." With his acute senses, Luo Qingyao had also noticed what Hong Yang had said. "That jade hairpin is just an external object. And this thing was truly useful. The value of these two people cannot even be compared with each other. "


    "This is an item from the fifth rank. Unless it''s Luo Hua who can refine it? "It''s useless to stay by my side. I might as well exchange it for a jade hairpin. I''ve earned a few hundred gold coins for nothing." However, Hong Yang disapproved.


    In fact, what he said was right. In the current world, there were very few Pill Master s and there was only one Luo Family. It was likely that he didn''t even have a set of Taiyi Sect.


    Luo Qingyao shook her head, and her eyes actually revealed a little emotion. "This thing, was originally bestowed to Luo Xiao by Luo Hua, and she desires to be my love object. Now that the marriage is over, this relationship will naturally be broken as well. What''s the use of me wanting him? "


    Hm?


    After Hong Yang heard this, he was shocked. He only thought that Luo Hua gave this to him. Who would have thought that it would actually be a love object.


    Now, even the marriage had run away. Where did all this affection come from? With a bitter laugh, Hong Yang dispelled his thought. If he insisted on changing the hairpin, Luo Qingyao would probably think of the past.


    "What''s the date of the pawn?" Hong Yang suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Duan Yu. That Duan Yu also shook his head and said helplessly: "A normal pawn shop would take three months. It was just that the pawn shop was rather large, so he didn''t know if there were any special rules. As for the details, it''s best to ask. "


    "Hm." Hong Yang looked at the color of the sky, and decided: "Then, let''s go. We''ll leave after lunch in the city. I must request that you hurry to the Taiyi County within three days. "


    There was naturally no objection to this. Soon after, everyone went to the pawn shop.


    This was the largest pawn shop in the entire city. People came and went, and it was extremely lively. As for Hong Yang and the other two, they had also found the place where they had pawned at back then, and asked: "How long is the date of the pawning here?"


    That person was stunned for a moment before replying, "A normal pawn shop usually takes three months. We are more, and we will be allowed up to five months. If you want to redeem it after five months, you have to add 40% to the ransom. If it''s more than a year, there''s nothing we can do. "


    Hong Yang nodded his head, this fact was much better.


    "Wait, you are... The people who pawned the jade hairpins this morning? " Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the person behind him suddenly called out to him. Hong Yang turned around and looked at him suspiciously, "That''s right, what''s the matter?"


    A bad premonition inexplicably appeared in his heart.


    "Your jade hairpin is quite expensive. Wait a moment, our manager has something to talk to you about. " That person was stunned for a moment before quickly running in.


    "What happened?" Duan Yu froze for a moment, then suddenly frowned: "Why do I feel like, this atmosphere... It''s a little strange? "


    He looked outside. They saw the crowd gathered outside the city gate and were all running towards it.


    "What happened at the city gate?" The bottom of Duan Yu''s heart had also suddenly sunk. At this moment, he suddenly guessed something ¡­


    "Shopkeeper, it''s right over here." While he was thinking, that person suddenly came back. He led a middle-aged man in his early forties.


    "Are you the ones who pawned those jade hairpins this morning?" The middle aged man walked in, looked at Hong Yang and asked.


    Hong Yang didn''t answer, but looked at him expressionlessly with slightly narrowed eyes.


    He had already guessed what had happened. He sighed as he knew that he shouldn''t be staying here.


    The middle-aged man sneered and suddenly waved his hand. "Capture them for me!"

 C74

    The middle-aged man waved his hand and several men immediately charged forward! cultivation s were all around Origin Returning Stage.


    With a cold laugh, Hong Yang''s eyes turned serious like never before.


    He and Duan Yu could naturally escape this place easily! But Luo Qingyao, was only a Origin Returning Stage. In this place, it was extremely difficult to escape.


    The two of them also protected Luo Qingyao inside. Luo Qingyao fished out a few medicinal pellets from her pocket, hesitated a bit, and did not throw them out.


    On her body, there were only some healing and strengthening pills. There were no offensive pills. This was also because her identity was special and the Luo Family users weren''t given to her.


    Duan Yu turned around and pulled out a sword from his back. His big bow had been broken in Ye Nantian''s battle. And those large bows made specifically from Black Armoured Army were naturally also not so easy to find.


    Lightning flashed on Hong Yang''s body, causing others to not dare approach him for a while. He immediately shouted: "You and I have no enmity with each other, why are you killing me like this! If you think that hairpin is valuable, then I''ll just give it to you. "


    "That hairpin is naturally valuable." However, there are some things that are more valuable than him. " The middle-aged man smiled, and his face revealed a trace of fierceness: "Stay here with the girl. The other one, just kill him! "


    This other person, was naturally Duan Yu! Duan Yu''s face changed, the sword in his hand thrusted out, forcing one of the enemies to retreat.


    The people surrounding them were basically all cultivation of the Four fifth rank. Occasionally, one or two of them only possessed Origin Returning Stage. Hong Yang and Duan Yu had dealt with it already, so it was not very strenuous for them.


    However, because they wanted to protect Luo Qingyao, they could not break out of the encirclement by even half a step! If this continued, even if she was not killed, he would still die from exhaustion.


    "Hong Yang, do you still have those Heaven Pill?" Duan Yu suddenly asked as he slowly took a step back. He also received Hong Yang''s reply. "There''s still one more, light red."


    This light red, was a strike from his Peak of Returning Origin Stage! Duan Yu slightly pursed his lips. His meaning was very obvious: Using this Heaven Pill, you can blast open a bloody path. Then the three of them immediately charged out of the encirclement.


    He had vaguely guessed why this person would start a massacre without saying a word! It was most likely an order from the County Lord''s Mansion that had already been passed ¡­ The entire county had captured Luo Qingyao and Hong Yang.


    As for himself, it was because he did not participate in Luo Qingyao''s business. Naturally, it would be ignored. This was naturally the reason why the middle-aged man from before said that he didn''t care about his own life and death even if he left Hong Yang and Luo Qingyao behind.


    However, it was useless even if he knew about the situation! If this continued, in less than an hour, both Hong Yang and Duan Yu''s vitality would be exhausted.


    At that time, the two of them would be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. A hint of determination emerged in his eyes. Hong Yang... He would never allow that to happen!


    "Duan Yu, give me the sword!"


    After thinking for a while, Hong Yang suddenly shouted out loudly! Duan Yu chilled, and in the next second, she threw the sword in her hand to Hong Yang without hesitation.


    After losing his sword, he returned to Luo Qingyao''s side. His fingers moved. He was already using his cultivation technique.


    Right now, he could only use his cultivation technique to barely resist! And looking at Hong Yang, he seemed to have a plan already.


    "Thunder and wind!"


    The instant Hong Yang received the sword, his figure exploded in a flash, and directly disappeared without a trace! Even Luo Qingyao was ruthlessly stunned.


    The faint voice of wind and thunder resounded throughout the entire audience, making all the people below the Origin Returning Stage of the cultivation emit a thunderous roar in their minds at that instant! And it was also at this time that Duan Yu took this opportunity to send an existence with Earth Origin Stage flying with a single punch.


    A loud sound suddenly rang out from the light blue bolt of lightning. In the next second, Hong Yang actually appeared behind the middle-aged man! A palm imbued with Essence Qi struck out, mercilessly striking the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man let out a wail as he knelt down on one leg. He had lost control of his body!


    Next, a long sword was placed at his neck. It was the sword that Hong Yang had asked for from Duan Yu earlier.


    "If you move again, you can try and see whether or not I''ll kill him." Hong Yang placed the sword on the middle aged man''s neck, looked around, and coldly shouted: "I wonder if everyone is interested, let''s give it a try?"


    His last sentence was very light. However, when it entered the ears of everyone present, it was like a clap of thunder!


    For a moment, everyone stopped. Looking at Hong Yang, he did not dare continue fighting.


    Hong Yang lowered his head, and said slowly: "I don''t know what you are talking about, but what are those more valuable things?"


    He pointed towards the city gate. The middle-aged man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Yes, it''s a notice that was just posted at the city gate."


    "What did the notice say?" With a slight frown, the only way to post a notice on the city walls was for the government. But now, it seemed that things were not going well.


    However, there was still a slim chance of survival. The city gates were not closed. Naturally, there was a way to get out. Just how much time he had to think.


    "Capture a girl called Hong Yang, and a girl called Luo Qingyao." The middle-aged man looked at Hong Yang, and then tried to recall: "There are two portraits on it, which are extremely similar to you two. And that hairpin also has a description, that it is a treasure of Luo Family. "


    After being stunned for a moment, the middle-aged man added: "Of course, the condition is a fifth rank Pill, the Earth Martial Pill. If you consume this item, you will be able to increase the success rate of experts during their Earth Origin Stage breakthroughs by thirty percent! "


    Hong Yang was startled, then laughed bitterly while shaking his head. A thirty percent chance was a bit too much. An ordinary medicinal pill would already be considered one of the few geniuses who could achieve a fifty percent success rate.


    "And the other one, is the family head from the Luo Family, Senior Luo Hua. If one were to find one of these people, it would be equivalent to owing him a favor. The Pill Master of the fifth rank owed me a favor. "This ¡­"


    The middle-aged man did not continue. In reality, he did not have any more information. However, the bottom of Hong Yang''s heart, suddenly tensed up.

 C75

    Looks like this was the power of the Luo Family Interception Order. In just half a day, it had reached this place.


    It was likely that the news would spread across the entire Pine Wind County within a day. Hong Yang had been a constable before, so he naturally knew how to send messages.


    But at the moment, Hong Yang could not afford to think too much. When he saw that there were still many who were ready to make a move, he coldly stated, "Everyone, take three steps back, and your Essence will dissipate. If you don''t, I''ll kill him immediately! "


    Everyone was shocked, and then looked at the middle-aged man''s eyes. They obediently retreated three steps and their Essence dissipated. Then, they crossed their arms and stood there.


    If they did not do it, then Hong Yang would kill them all before he could even make a move.


    "My, my name is Yuan Qian." The middle-aged man looked at Hong Yang and forced out a smile, "I told them to back off. Can you let me go now? "


    "A dollar?" After being stunned for a while, Hong Yang thought to himself that this was a good name. He sneered, "I''m afraid that if I let you go now, those people would immediately charge at me again."


    This Yuan Qian''s strength was at the seventh level of Returning Origin Stage, and was only one level lower than Hong Yang''s. Therefore, right now, Hong Yang could not be careless at all.


    "No, no." Even if it was at the seventh stage of the Returning Origin Stage, a sword would definitely graze his neck to death. Yuan Qian immediately shouted at those people, "Yuan Li, quickly retreat!"


    The man named Yuan Li was the Returning Origin Stage expert who was pushed back by Duan Yu with one strike earlier. When they saw Yuan Qian speak, their hearts twitched a little before they immediately led their men away.


    For a time, there was basically no one in the hall. Even some of the customers had been scared away by the intense battle earlier.


    He thought that the officials would be here soon. At that time, it would be even more difficult to escape. Thinking of this, Hong Yang also shot a glance at Duan Yu. The latter understood immediately and retreated towards the door.


    The best course of action was to escape as soon as possible. There was a sea of people here, and if he were to dive head first into the crowd, it would be extremely difficult for the other party to find him.


    They took Yuan Qian to the door, but Duan Yu and Duan Yu had already disappeared. The look Hong Yang gave them earlier was to let them escape first.


    With a cultivation technique like the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, Hong Yang''s speed was fast enough to match the Peak of Returning Origin Stage, so even a Earth Origin Stage expert might not be able to escape! And Duan Yu and Luo Qingyao, especially Luo Qingyao, did not have such an ability.


    They forced him to the pawn shop''s entrance. There were a lot of people in the crowd, but when Hong Yang swept his eyes over, he did not discover any experts with Returning Origin Stage s and above. Most people, not even a rank.


    He secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The City Lord''s Mansion of this Cloud Forest City was simply too slow. If it was Pill Master''s Luo Family, he would probably rush over in less than ten minutes.


    "I was planning to use the Soul-nourishing Wood to redeem that piece of jade. "Now, it seems that there''s no need." Hong Yang looked at Yuan Qian, who had a face full of fear, and suddenly laughed: "That jade pendant was Miss Luo Family''s object in itself. When you go back and hand over your Pill Master''s Luo Family, you will also receive a very generous reward. "


    These words of his, was tantamount to admitting that he was someone that the Luo Family wanted to kill. However, Hong Yang''s voice was very soft, and only Yuan Qian could hear it.


    "Soul-nourishing Wood." Yuan Qian was slightly stunned. This thing was definitely something that could only be encountered by chance and not sought! The value of these pellets far surpassed that of ordinary fifth rank pellets.


    There were different grades to the pill. Although the fifth rank pellet within the Luo Family rewards could increase the possibility of Earth Origin Stage impact! However, in order to make a breakthrough, one had to be alive to enjoy it.


    On the other hand, the Great Recovery Pill refined by this Soul-nourishing Wood was effective at all levels. In this lifetime, Yuan Qian no longer had any hope of breaking through to the Earth Origin Stage. To him, the effect of that fifth rank Pellet was far less than that of a Soul-nourishing Wood.


    For a moment, he was moved. However, being moved was being moved. It was impossible for this item to fall into his hands.


    With a cold snort, he made an appointment with Duan Yu to wait at the place where they could store the horses. Right now, Hong Yang had to leave quickly.


    Thunder rumbled in the wind!


    In the blink of an eye, the minds of the surrounding onlookers exploded with thunderclaps! Some people who didn''t have cultivation s, even more so, fell into a state of idiocy at that instant.


    Hong Yang''s figure flashed explosively, as he also charged straight in. When everyone came back to their senses ¡­ His figure had already disappeared.


    "Quick, quickly go and report the City Lord''s Mansion and have them seal this place off!" Recovering from his shock, Yuan Qian immediately gnashed his teeth and said, "They will definitely not be far away." "As long as we seal the city gate and search carefully, we will definitely be able to find them!"


    However, due to his rage, no one answered him. A moment later, Yuan Li finally recovered and carefully said, "Shopkeeper, Shopkeeper." Someone is already here. "


    A few people stood before him. Suddenly, one of them raised his head and looked at Yuan Gan, "Those three... Was it in that direction just now? "


    "Are you people from the government?" Yuan Qian raised his head and looked at these people in shock. They were not wearing their official uniforms. Thus, there was some doubt.


    "Where did they go?" That person suddenly frowned and continued asking. Yuan Qian could only reply in surprise, "I don''t know ¡­"


    Boom!


    Yuan Qian was instantly sent flying! Another person beside the man also shouted, "Nan Shang, calm down."


    Ye Nan Shang!


    These few people were actually people from the Qingcheng County. And that Ye Nan Shang, had even Earth Origin Stage.


    Just one move had sent Yuan Qian flying.


    Although Yuan Qian was sent flying, he did not suffer any injuries. After he got up, he was deeply aware of how terrifying his opponent was.


    "I, I really don''t know ¡­" Yuan Qian let out a bitter laugh as he said in a trembling voice, "At that time, I was completely stunned and did not know what had happened."


    "Nan Shang, forget it." Hong Yang''s Three Styles of Wind and Thunder is a little strange, it seems to be able to attract people''s attention. " The person who had advised earlier spoke out again: "He''s only at the eighth level of Origin Returning Stage. When Ye Nan Mu was a cultivation of Earth Origin Stage, didn''t he also get infected? "


    He paused for a moment, and then continued, "There will definitely be some movements from the City Lord''s Mansion. We will wait here for three days. If there is no news, we will continue searching northwards. "


    Just as Hong Yang had said, there were three groups of super powers currently fighting for him: Qingcheng County, Pine Wind County, and Luo Family!


    "Alright, the real officials are here. Let''s go first... After all, this is the Pine Wind County. " A person beside him said with a vicious expression.


    The words he said were surprisingly sharp.

 C76

    Returning to the inn, the news had yet to spread throughout the entire city. Therefore, Hong Yang and the others were naturally safe now.


    There was worry and worry that couldn''t be hidden on Hong Yang''s face either. "I didn''t expect that Suo Qingqiu''s movements would be so fast. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn''t have gone back to the pawnshop. "


    In addition to fast horses, there were also many methods of communication under the dynasty. And in just half a day''s time, it had spread to this Cloud Forest City. Hong Yang guessed that it was a pigeon sending a message.


    Duan Yu and Luo Qingyao also looked a little depressed and Luo Qingyao even more regretful, "It''s all my fault. If it wasn''t for my hairpin, this wouldn''t have happened. "


    "This matter is not your fault. Just blame me for being nosy. " Hong Yang waved his hand, signalling to Luo Qingyao not to blame herself, "If not for your hairpin, I wouldn''t have been able to buy this Soul-nourishing Wood. Even if I sell this item alone, it would still be worth at least 4000 gold coins. "


    The reason why he said that, was only to let Luo Qingyao feel more at ease. Hong Yang was not a greedy person, everyone knew this.


    Right now, every minute and every second was extremely crucial. One more second and there would be a few more people who would know that they were wanted. If the entire city were to find out by then, it would be troublesome.


    They were not like the black clothed man they had met in the Qingcheng County, who possessed the strength of eighth rank. If they wanted to conceal themselves, it wasn''t something that an ordinary person could find.


    Hong Yang rubbed his temple, also feeling annoyed. The city was surrounded by city walls, and only the four sides of the city had gates. If he wanted to leave, he would have to pass through these four areas.


    Although they could still forcefully break through. But that would not alarm other people. This order was already known to the entire county. If they stirred up any trouble, it was hard to ensure that the City Lord''s Mansion wouldn''t be disturbed.


    This Cloud Forest City is the third largest city in the Pine Wind County, and cannot be compared to the bottom level Ningyang City of the twelve cities. In the city, there were probably even a few third rank experts.


    "If we''re just disguising ourselves, how much certainty do we have in deceiving those people?" Duan Yu suddenly thought of something and said. The camouflage technique was the perfect method to get out of this situation.


    "This matter is acceptable, but where do we find a camouflage material mask?" Furthermore, even if they were disguised, a lineup of two men and three women would be easily suspected. " Hong Yang shook his head, and then unexpectedly added another sentence: "If you want to truly change your face and change your appearance, that is already a matter of Sky Origin Stage."


    The corner of Duan Yu''s mouth twitched. Hong Yang was just a cultivation of the Origin Returning Stage, how did he know about the matters of the Sky Origin Stage? One must know that even in the entire Pine Wind County, there was not a single such expert. Only in the Spirit Province of Youzhou or the Imperial Family could it possibly appear.


    "Then what should we do? Since that Yuan Qian was able to recognize us at a glance, it naturally proves that the portrait on the wall is extremely lifelike and even Miss Qing Yao''s jade hairpin was drawn on it. With such meticulous details and if you don''t want to put on an appearance, then that is even more impossible. "


    This kind of thinking was also not good, but this kind of thinking was also not good. The two of them now had extremely big heads and were in extreme pain.


    "Brother Hong Yang, brother Duan Yu, I have an idea, I wonder if it would work." Just as the two were deep in thought, Luo Qingyao suddenly said slowly.


    Her voice was pleasant to hear, and her words were naturally of interest to others as well. Hong Yang was surprised: "What idea?"


    Luo Qingyao smiled slightly and said: "Since you want to capture our people. Then why can''t we pretend to be officials instead? "Wait until we get close to the city gate, when the time is ripe, we can just sneak away."


    With a strange expression on her face, she looked at Luo Qingyao. Although this girl''s strength was lacking, her courage and wisdom were not inferior to theirs.


    "Attacking an official is a capital offense." Furthermore, even if we were to launch a sneak attack, it would be difficult to avoid the commotion. Duan Yu muttered. He had never thought of sneaking an attack on the Black Armoured Army guards.


    Hong Yang also had a Black Army badge, but this thing was practically useless now, and it was just a symbol of his identity. If he were to display his black military order here, not only would he not have any Black Armoured Army to listen to his commands. On the contrary, his first reaction would be to shoot Hong Yang into a hedgehog.


    "This decision is not impossible. However, he had to find those who were weak to take action. "You have to succeed in one strike, or else the fight will be exposed." Hong Yang nodded his head, agreeing with Luo Qingyao''s idea. However, he was still worried.


    Duan Yu looked at him helplessly. Hong Yang had used a "successful" attack, not a "dead end" attack. Naturally, this proved that he didn''t want to kill them.


    "You can''t. Those who have low levels of strength naturally have to be controlled by the high level captains. They will have a hard time finding an opportunity to escape on their own." Hearing this, Luo Qingyao shook her head and denied: "If one wants to look, they must at least look for someone with sixth rank or above. Only such a person would have the possibility of moving alone. As for the other two, just pretend to be in the same group. "


    Origin Returning Stage, was already at the level of Fang Qian''s, so naturally, he had the right to move about alone. However, after carefully calculating in his heart, Hong Yang still hesitated.


    If the first strike was successful, although it could be done, it would still be risky. Although he couldn''t defeat the Origin Returning Stage, he could still endure for a few moves at the very least.


    With this, it was difficult for him to make a choice. Although the plan was feasible, the risk was extremely high. There was only one chance.


    "Brother Hong Yang. Now that there''s no other way, we won''t have to bother trying. " Luo Qingyao opened her mouth and said, "Moreover, as long as you and Duan Yu work together, you will definitely be able to succeed under a full powered strike. One of you is at the eighth step and the other is at the ninth step, can''t you handle someone from the sixth rank? "


    Duan Yu was now a Origin Returning Stage expert. If he had that large bow, he could rely on the Falling Moon Style to deal with a Origin Returning Stage practitioner in one move. It was just that the movement of the Falling Moon Style was too big, and he did not have a big bow right now, so he naturally needed Hong Yang''s help.


    Duan Yu also said, "Yes, it''s going to happen sooner or later anyway. If they dragged it out for a minute, they might be recognized in the city. It would be better to take action as soon as possible. "


    The two of them agreed. Hong Yang thought for a while and suddenly thought of something. Then he also nodded and said, "Okay, then I''ll take care of it!"

 C77

    After making his decision, Hong Yang did not stay for long. After dressing up for a while, the three of them went out of the door and headed towards the north gate.


    They had all changed their clothes and were now no different from normal pedestrians. Luo Qingyao even specially loosened her tied up hair. She also took off all the accessories on her body and changed into the clothes of an ordinary person.


    She wasn''t the kind of girl who was vain, so she naturally didn''t care. If it wasn''t for the fact that the three of them had observed people they were extremely familiar with, it would be difficult for them to recognize each other.


    In this Cloud Forest City, there were naturally some alleys of sorts. Hong Yang, who had been a constable before, naturally understood the meaning of this.


    Even in some small alleys, people from the government would pass by. As long as they were in an alley and met people with sixth rank and above, or if they had enough power, they would naturally act immediately.


    The northern part of the city was not very bustling. After leaving the city, it would be a boundless prairie. And on the prairie, other than a few scattered loners and caravans, there was usually no one else.


    And the southern gate was the capital of Pine Wind County. There were people coming and going every day, how bustling was it?


    "Those people will constantly patrol this area. The captain of every squad had Origin Returning Stage s. As for the captain among them, he was called Bai Hu, which meant that he had the strength of Origin Returning Stage. And a very small number of people would possess Origin Returning Stage. "


    No matter whether it was Origin Returning Stage or Origin Returning Stage, both possessed the ability to move independently. If they could meet someone with fifth rank, it would save them a lot of effort.


    At this moment, within a residential complex in the northern part of the city.


    Zhang Xianjie was a person who had just advanced in Origin Returning Stage and sixth rank. He had just broken through a few days ago. And at this moment, the good mood from the breakthrough was completely swept away, and only after leading a few Origin Returning Stage members slowly walked over.


    "Damn it, the entire city is under martial law for no reason. Since it''s about Luo Family, why did Suo Qingqiu stick his head out for it? "


    He muttered helplessly. Finally, his City Lord''s Mansion would be rewarded with appropriate resources. Even though it was only one or two pieces of primeval stones, it was used to consolidate the stage of cultivation. However, during this period of time, his aura was unstable. If he had enough resources, he wouldn''t fall, but he would easily rise another step.


    And now, such an important time was wasted on finding someone else. This made him angry. The two people from Origin Returning Stage behind her also had faces full of impatience.


    "Captain." This place was so remote, it was impossible to find it. Even if we find him, we won''t be able to beat him. " Behind him, a Black Armoured Army cultivator said with a sullen face, "Why don''t we go check somewhere else?"


    Zhang Xianjie turned around and looked at him helplessly. "What do you know!? Let''s just stay here and not go anywhere. "Wait till after lunch to have a meal, then come back to this place to hide in the afternoon."


    After hearing his plans, the Black Armoured Army Soldier immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, then that''s it. Let''s sit down. In any case, this place is so remote, there won''t be anyone patrolling here. "


    Other than the scattered residents, there was really no one else around. Thus, they hid here and enjoyed their leisure.


    "Mm, who is it?"


    Not long after he sat down, another Black Armoured Army soldier suddenly discovered two figures and asked hurriedly. This time, the person on the other side didn''t answer.


    "Stop, I''m asking you a question. Don''t you know that we''re searching the entire city for you?" Seeing that the person who had arrived didn''t say a word, the Black Armoured Army Soldier immediately became somewhat angry. With a grab of his hand, the Essence Qi was contained within his palm.


    "Let''s do it."


    The man laughed lightly, then said to his comrades: "Duan Yu, go and take care of these two. I will go and take care of that Origin Returning Stage. "


    Duan Yu muttered helplessly, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with this arrangement. However, he was not ambiguous. He opened his palm and a gust of wind instantly flew towards his opponent.


    Bang!


    That Origin Returning Stage immediately flew out like a cannonball. Duan Yu''s figure flashed, and appeared in front of the other person. His hand turned into a knife, cutting straight down from the neck.


    With this, one of them was heavily injured and had fainted. The other one had been hit on the neck and had also lost consciousness.


    There was almost no suspense between the ninth level of Origin Returning Stage and second rank. Duan Yu retracted his hand as if he had done something insignificant. Then, he turned to look at Hong Yang.


    "You, you guys are ¡­"


    That Zhang Xianjie seemed to be facing a great enemy! To be able to make a move without a word, the identities of these people were obvious.


    "Here ¡­" He was just about to shout out. At this moment, the sound of wind and thunder exploded in his ears, causing him to freeze on the spot!


    The next second, his shoulder also received a palm strike as well. The palm wind was strong, but just perfect. He flew four to five meters away before falling to the ground and staring at the shattered shoulder blades in shock. In the end, he was unable to speak and fainted from the pain.


    In just an instant, Hong Yang and Duan Yu quickly ended the battle. Facing these three people, there was almost no suspense.


    "I, a person at the ninth stage of the Origin Returning Stage, am facing off against two people of the second rank. Your strength is inferior to mine, but you are fighting against even more powerful existences. " Duan Yu said helplessly: "These three, how should we deal with them?"


    "After all, you do not have the special effects of Wind and Thunder." Hong Yang smiled slightly: "We only need their clothes. As for people, just find a random place to tie them up. "


    Naturally, he wouldn''t kill them. He only needed to leave the city. These two, were not guilty enough to die, and Hong Yang did not have the intention to make a move.


    Luo Qingyao appeared from behind him. They had just killed three people, and naturally they had also killed three people.


    Zhang Xianjie had Origin Returning Stage and naturally had the ability to move freely. As for the identities of the other two people, they had obtained their names and other information from their respective identity tokens.


    After changing into Le''s group''s clothes, he found a random place where no one lived and threw the three of them in. After that, Hong Yang and the rest, after walking for a while, also walked onto the streets.


    Luo Qingyao just so happened to be a cultivation with Origin Returning Stage. As for the two of them, they only needed to lower the level of their cultivation s a little. Indeed, in the following period of time, no one discovered that the two of them were faking it.


    Very quickly, they headed in the direction of the north gate of the city as well.

 C78

    " Squad 14, Zhang Xianjie has come to report. " After a slight pause, Hong Yang also arrived at the north gate. He had been a constable at the Ningyang City before, so he was naturally familiar with these things.


    ?" After all, Luo Qingyao was still a woman. Regardless of whether it was her figure or temperament, there was still a huge gap between her and a man. Although she was dressed like a man, she looked like a rather short man.


    " Alright, it''s still not time yet. Go eat lunch and train in the afternoon, replace the night shift in the middle of the night, and continue your inspection. "


    " The military could move freely in the afternoon. The entire Cloud Forest City had at least several tens of thousands of Black Armoured Army. Even if they were split into two shifts, the number of people on the city''s defense side would still number in the thousands. At that time, we should be able to leave. "


    " "Hurry up and finish it. After that, let''s quickly leave this place."


    " Hurry up, we finally made it to this Cloud Forest City. We must uncover that Hong Yang in the afternoon and let him have a taste of this too! "


    " Leave early. "Don''t alert these people."


    " "Although they know that we haven''t left the city yet, there''s no way they could''ve sealed off the city." Duan Yu suggested: "After all, we are not those kind of people with eighth rank that can pose a threat to County Lord''s Mansion. However, there were more people in the north and less people in the south. Or we... Get out through the south gate and then go back in another circle? "

 C79

    In the afternoon, one could freely cultivate in the immortal realms. One could either stay in the military camp to cultivate or quickly wander around the city. One just needed to return before nightfall.


    This naturally included the right to leave the city. However, on the road out of the city, there was bound to be someone investigating the situation. There would be a series of questions later on. It would be troublesome if he were to be caught at this time.


    He did not know what Hong Yang was planning to do, but at the moment, Duan Yu and Luo Hua City Mistress did not have any confidence either. And in fact... Hong Yang did not have much confidence either.


    "Halt, what are you guys doing out here?"


    As expected, they arrived at the city gate. Immediately, two soldiers stopped Hong Yang and asked.


    "What, isn''t it free movement? Even if we leave the city, we can''t?" Hong Yang grumbled helplessly. According to his official position, he was the same as the guards, so there was no need to be nice to the other party.


    If he was too careful, it would arouse suspicion. It''s naturally good, Hong Yang kept telling himself mentally.


    "This is a time when the city is under martial law. What are you doing out of the city?" The soldier was clearly unhappy and continued to shout.


    Hong Yang frowned: "My home is outside the city, could it be that it is not okay to take advantage of the afternoon to visit my family?"


    Everyone''s tokens were marked with a general area of residence. There were four places: East City, West City, South City, and North City. They were divided into the City and the City.


    This Zhang Xianjie happened to be living outside the city''s northern city gate. With a cold snort, he handed the token over.


    There were no photos on it either, it was just an ordinary token. The other party, however, frowned and did not even glance at them. "The city is under martial law now, and all soldiers are not allowed to leave. Don''t you know that? "


    The corner of his mouth twitched, and Hong Yang''s head was also covered in black lines. He had originally thought that if the city was under strict investigation, the soldiers would definitely relax. Who would have thought that the freedom of the soldiers to leave the city would be nipped right now.


    Then how was he going to get out? There was no way out!


    Hong Yang was instantly stunned in place, and was at a loss of what to do. When the soldier saw Hong Yang''s reaction, he immediately frowned: "Could it be that, as a Black Armoured Army Scholar, you don''t even know about the emergency military order that was issued this morning? Get the hell back! "


    There was no trace of politeness in his tone. After all, Hong Yang did not know about the military order, so it was already a big mistake. He had also left behind the thought of not reporting in. Instead, he wanted to shout loudly and chase Hong Yang away.


    As Hong Yang stood there, his mind was already extremely anxious! He knew that if he left now, he would probably never be able to get out ¡­


    At this time, Luo Qingyao suddenly turned around and said to Duan Yu. Duan Yu was stunned, then revealed a strange expression.


    Hong Yang did not see this scene. However, after Duan Yu''s face turned dark, he mustered his courage and walked towards the soldier.


    "You, what are you doing?" The soldier was stunned and immediately became alert. However, when he saw that Hong Yang did not have any Yuan Qi with him, he heaved a sigh of relief.


    Hong Yang also looked at him in shock, not knowing what medicine he had bought from the gourd. As he turned his head to look at Luo Qingyao, he discovered that Luo Qingyao was also standing not far away, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.


    Duan Yu directly walked in front of the soldier. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered in his ear for a moment. The two people behind him were obviously discussing something.


    After a while, Duan Yu took out something and handed it over to the soldier. The soldier immediately kept it. Then, he waved his hand and said to Hong Yang: "Get lost! Since this is the case, I will just turn a blind eye to it. "


    Hong Yang was startled, he still did not know what Duan Yu was doing. However, he quickly noticed that something wasn''t right.


    The soldier waved his hand, not to tell him to scram back into the city, but to tell him to scram out of the city!


    How, how is this possible?


    However, he didn''t dare to think too much about it now. No matter what Duan Yu gave her, as long as she could live. He immediately rushed out of the city gates.


    The soldier sneered, then he reached into his pocket and slowly fumbled for something. And Hong Yang left the city... As expected, he did not stop them.


    At this moment, outside the city gates.


    Seeing Duan Yu and Luo Qingyao who were chasing after him, Hong Yang asked with great curiosity: "What did you say to the soldier just now? He was actually willing to let us pass in an instant? "


    Duan Yu''s face changed, and he immediately said awkwardly: It''s nothing, I just told them a small lie.


    "What little lie?" Hong Yang immediately noticed that something was amiss and hurriedly asked. Duan Yu took a step back, and in the end, his pleading eyes looked towards Luo Qingyao, and he said slowly: "This idea was Miss Qing Yao''s idea."


    Hong Yang immediately looked at Luo Qingyao with suspicion. He pursed his lips and smiled, then said softly, "Do you still remember the caravans that go by frequently outside the city?"


    Hong Yang was naturally aware of this, but he was still a little suspicious. "What does this have to do with the merchant caravan?"


    "He gave the two Origin Pills to the city guard." Then tell him that you are very familiar with a girl in the caravan, and that you are going out on a date this time. " Luo Qingyao held back her laughter and said calmly: "With those two Yuan Pills and the reason behind it, he will naturally let them go."


    Hong Yang''s expression instantly became strange. He naturally didn''t pity those two Origin Pills, as those two Origin Pills didn''t have much use to him.


    When he was in Ningyang City, he was nicknamed "benevolent capture". And now, this reputation had been completely destroyed.


    For a moment, he too stood there, his head full of black lines.


    "Alright, let''s hurry up and go." Duan Yu braced himself and said, "If we were to go from here to Taiyi County, how long would it take?"


    "If there are two horses, it will only take two days." Hong Yang thought for a while, then answered: "But if we are going to walk, it will take us seven to eight days, or maybe even longer."


    In a span of seven to eight days, they would definitely give up on searching the Cloud Forest City and would instead start investigating the wasteland!


    Although there was not much of a possibility, as a Earth Origin Stage Ranker, how wide was the Spiritual Sense''s coverage! They were not afraid of anything, just in case. They definitely could not take this risk.


    "There must be many caravans on the way." Regarding this, Hong Yang was not the least bit worried, "When the time comes, just find any merchant group and buy two horses."


    The caravan would have extra horses, so there was no need to worry.


    After the discussion was concluded, they immediately set off. After escaping from the Cloud Forest City with great difficulty, he would likely face a life and death chase!

 C80

    Right now, it was really the afternoon. Hong Yang and the others still had some time. After all, in this vast prairie, it was impossible to travel at night.


    Although Hong Yang and the others were powerful. But in the end, Luo Qingyao was still there. And on this plain, the abilities of some wild beasts are not inferior to the Returning Origin Stage s of the five sixth rank s.


    Thus, traveling during the day and two days could already be considered an extremely fast speed. Those caravans would also hire some people as guards before they set off. The profits of these guards were terrifyingly high as well.


    There were even some people who had been born for that reason. This was also one of the most basic ways for a rogue cultivator to earn money.


    After walking for a distance, Hong Yang also met a caravan. He bought three horses for a large sum of money. After Hong Yang and the rest had pawned Luo Qingyao''s jade hairpin, they also had several thousands of gold coins on them, which was more than enough.


    "Tonight, we will try our best to find a caravan and stay the night." Hong Yang thought for a while, then said: "It would be better to find a team here. Furthermore, the two of us are quite strong, two free guards, I think no merchant group would refuse. "


    Hong Yang and Duan Yu were the peak existences within the Returning Origin Stage. The two of them together could even fight against Earth Origin Stage and initial rank. As long as they didn''t encounter that kind of small beast tide, they would basically be safe and sound.


    Those rogue cultivators who relied on this to eat, most of them only had the strength of Returning Origin Stage''s third level. Therefore, there was no need to worry.


    They rode for a while until it was completely dark. They began to slow down. After searching for a while, they finally found a merchant group in a spacious area.


    The caravan didn''t look that big; it was only a few dozen people. Hong Yang and the rest entered, immediately attracting some attention.


    They immediately became alert! After all, in this prairie, besides some ferocious beasts, there were even more terrifying existences like bandits. Sometimes, they would come across a few strong bandit groups, and some experts of the Earth Origin Stage were even present.


    If their luck was that bad, then this caravan could only blame itself for being unlucky.


    Very quickly, they discovered that there were only three people in Hong Yang''s group and none of them had released their vitality yet, so they too, heaved a sigh of relief. However, none of these people could actually see through Hong Yang and his cultivation.


    "The three of them, what are ¡ª" Within the tent, a person stood up and looked at Hong Yang, and asked: "Why are they here?"


    Hong Yang replied: "We are rogue cultivators here, so we wanted to go to the Taiyi County. In this prairie, the three of them cannot travel alone. "


    He did not continue, but the man understood immediately. Immediately, the nervousness on his face disappeared. The three people in front of him were not in any danger.


    "If you need compensation, we will pay it." Hong Yang went straight to the point. Most of the people in this caravan were outspoken and straightforward, except for the fact that they were scheming when it came to business opportunities. At the very least, it wouldn''t be like this for a practitioner.


    Otherwise, this caravan''s reputation would be too bad and no one would dare to escort them. Then, this caravan would be completely destroyed.


    "No need, the three of us are also people of cultivation s. As long as there are bandits, wild beasts and the like in the night, I will help you resist them. " That person also laughed. Their caravan on the continent treated some rogue martial artists that came to stay. Most of them had this attitude.


    "Eighth level of Returning Origin Stage, ninth level of Returning Origin Stage. His strength is not bad. " Hong Yang and the others thanked him, and just as they were about to leave, they looked for a place to stay. Behind him, there was a sudden sound of surprise.


    His footsteps paused, Hong Yang then turned and laughed: "You have good eyesight, I believe your strength is not weak either."


    To be able to see through Duan Yu and Hong Yang with a glance, it was only natural that their strength had far surpassed the two of them. Furthermore, his Peak of Returning Origin Stage was only slightly stronger than Duan Yu''s, so it was very difficult for him to make such an accurate judgement.


    Thus, the identity of the person who had just shouted was very clear. Earth Origin Stage.


    At the same time that Hong Yang agreed, there was also some change in the bottom of his heart. Never would they have thought that this small caravan with only a few dozen people, would actually have a Earth Origin Stage Ranker.


    It was not that there were no experts in the caravan, but it was definitely rare to see one with Earth Origin Stage. Generally, they would only appear in the cargo teams of some sects, or in the caravan groups with hundreds of people.


    Duan Yu''s expression also slightly changed. He also turned around and didn''t say anything.


    From within the tent, a middle-aged man came down. He was around forty years old with long hair and an expressionless face.


    "At such a young age, he must have cultivation s at the eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage. Not bad, not bad. " His gaze landed on Hong Yang as he nodded.


    Hong Yang''s strength, at the eighth level of the Returning Origin Stage at the age of twenty-three, was indeed extremely rare. Since he was certain of the other party''s cultivation, Hong Yang did not have much of a reaction to his praise, and only indifferently thanked him.


    "Alright, let''s go and rest. The night is not peaceful, so take note. " The middle-aged man waved his hand and laughed. He was only surprised at the cultivation of Hong Yang and the others, so he came out to check it out. After that, he returned to his tent.


    For some reason, Hong Yang felt a cold Qi from this person''s body.


    "Please follow me." The expression of the person who had greeted Hong Yang and the other two earlier changed slightly as well when he heard about Hong Yang and his real cultivation. He had originally thought that he was only an ordinary practitioner with Returning Origin Stage of three levels. He never thought that the cultivation would actually be so high.


    One was at the eighth and the other was at the ninth level of the Returning Origin Stage. Naturally, he didn''t dare to be negligent and let them choose their residence. After tying up the horses, they arrived at a rather large tent.


    Hong Yang and the rest did not have much luggage, and all of them were lost in the Cloud Forest City because they had less suspicion. Right now, other than carrying some dry rations and water, the only other thing left for them was the bag full of items.


    "Do I live with you tonight?" Luo Qingyao entered the tent and was immediately stunned. Hong Yang curled his lips, feeling a little helpless.


    At this moment, the receptionist realized that the one under the uniform was actually a woman. He suddenly said, "It''s fine, we still have some small tents."


    "No need. I''ll stay here." Hong Yang waved his hand and interrupted him. Then, he looked towards Luo Qingyao and said: "At night, Duan Yu and I will stand guard together while the other person will sleep at the entrance of the tent."

 C81

    He naturally had no choice in making this decision. Luo Qingyao was the eldest miss of the Luo Family, and she only had the strength of second rank. If she left the sight of Hong Yang and Duan Yu, and if there was any danger, Hong Yang would probably commit suicide to apologize.


    Luo Qingyao bit her lips and nodded. Naturally, she understood this and didn''t try to be brave.


    Moreover, Hong Yang and Duan Yu were meditating at night, so they had nothing to do. Luo Qingyao mainly trained in the Pill Master, so he did not need to cultivate. It was naturally not convenient to refine pills or anything like that here ¡­


    That person looked at the three of them strangely and did not continue speaking. After everything was settled, he left as well.


    There were still not many people sleeping in the entire caravan. Hong Yang also guarded outside. Duan Yu stayed at the entrance of the tent and planned to meditate.


    As the Essence Qi circulated, he suddenly thought of something. He looked around. This place was incomparably vast, and the sky was also clear with a distinct moonlight. Wasn''t this the perfect time for the Heavenly Wolf''s Full Moon Training Hall?


    This thought appeared in his heart. He had explained it to Hong Yang. No warrior would miss such a good opportunity to train.


    There were also some weapons stored in the caravan. After getting a big bow from those people. They had also arrived at an open area not far away.


    Hong Yang''s comprehension of the martial way, far exceeded that of his Heaven Origin. Although he did not know the moves of the Full Moon Heavenly Wolf. However, he was able to accurately pinpoint the flaws and flaws in it.


    Duan Yu also did not say a word. Practicing a technique usually required months or even years of practice. As for this Full Moon Heavenly Wolf, unless it had a special perception, it would at least require several months to completely master it.


    He gathered his Essence and then gathered it on the bow. Duan Yu took out an arrow from his back, and it became full of bowstring.


    With his strength, he was still unable to condense his elemental energy into an arrow. However, even if he were to use ordinary arrows, in addition to the Full Moon and Falling Moon Arrows, the power would still be terrifying.


    "Protect the mind!" When the moon is short, the moon will be full and ready. " Hong Yang also said in a low voice from the side.


    Duan Yu''s body trembled, then he turned his body slightly, and aimed the arrow tip at the moon! The sharp light of the arrow merged with the moonlight in an instant, giving him a strange feeling.


    At this moment, he also seemed to have felt the reason for the Full Moon of the Heavenly Wolf. His true goal was not the might of the Heavenly Wolf, but rather his own Essence.


    It was on the word ''hope''. Only by hoping that he would be able to comprehend it, would he be able to unleash this move.


    The word "hope" decided his sudden enlightenment! He looked up at the moon. After a moment, he let go.


    "Woosh ~ ~ ~"


    The bow was as full as a shooting star! At this moment, two-thirds of the Essence in his body had been drained. And looking at the arrow flying far away, Hong Yang felt a tinge of admiration.


    "I-I succeeded?" Duan Yu gasped for breath, and then looked at his hands in shock, and muttered. Although its power was still lacking, that kind of feeling was indeed recorded in the Star Moon Scripture!


    Hong Yang said indifferently: "Full Moon Sirius. You have the might of a Sky Wolf, and the meaning of the word ''hope'' has been comprehended. How could he not succeed? "It''s just that I''ve used up too much Essence. When I circulate it again, remember to conserve Essence. It should be able to perform two moves."


    With this, the vitality in Duan Yu''s body was already less than a third. When he thought back, he realized that he had wasted a lot of his Essence during the previous circulation when he had injected it into the bow.


    He made a mental note to remember this. With Hong Yang by his side, his two mere sessions were actually equivalent to the comprehension he had gained in the past two months! At this moment, in the bottom of his heart, he also completely revered Hong Yang.


    "What''s that?"


    Luo Qingyao was also somewhat happy. Then, she looked towards where Duan Yu had pointed the arrow! He then noticed that there was a wisp of fire in the distance.


    The previous arrow had been quite imposing. However, the Essence Qi would not ignite a fire.


    Hong Yang also looked in Luo Qingyao''s direction and frowned. He also discovered something strange!


    That fire was still there ¡­ Move?


    Could it be bandits?


    "Quickly return to the camp!" He immediately made a decision and the three of them returned to the caravan''s encampment. At this moment, the people from the merchant caravan had also appeared one by one as they looked in that direction with a serious expression.


    Even the Earth Origin Stage man was looking in that direction. The only difference was that his eyes were closed and his expression was calm.


    Luo Qingyao observed for a while, then said softly: "That man, should also be Pill Master. It seems like his level is not as good as mine, he should only be at the first level of Pill Master. "


    Hong Yang was surprised at heart, but soon after, he became serious. This man, was not only a Earth Origin Stage expert, but also a Pill Master. It seemed that his identity wasn''t simple.


    Such a status, how could there be such a small caravan? Very quickly, Hong Yang also thought of another possibility. That was, this caravan was completely owned by him.


    "Line up, protect the goods well!" The middle-aged man said nothing. On the contrary, it was one of the people in the team who shouted. The goods they were talking about were a carriage in the middle. The things pulled by the horse carriage were extremely large, and it was unknown what was inside.


    He hadn''t noticed it before. But now, Hong Yang had discovered many problems.


    The torches in the distance were also constantly moving. Clearly, someone was coming over. He was shocked, if it really was a bandit, then things would be difficult.


    "Just some small fry." The man chuckled. However, the expression on his face was incomparably solemn.


    He secretly asked the person beside him, and only now did Hong Yang know that the man was called Guan Changyang, the leader of the caravan.


    "Duan Yu, hurry up and recover your vitality." Luo Qingyao passed a few pills to Duan Yu. The latter took it and devoured it all like she was eating beans. She immediately sat down on the ground and began regulating her breathing.


    This sort of method only required a few minutes of time. There wasn''t much of a problem.


    After that, Luo Qingyao also hid in the tent. With her Returning Origin Stage, it really wouldn''t be of much use here. Furthermore, she was a girl. Even if she were to take out her weapon, she would only be equivalent to a grown man without a cultivation.


    "Friend, long time no see?"


    Just as Hong Yang was observing his surroundings coldly. Guan Changyang suddenly faced the distance and sneered.

 C82

    His words also caused everyone else to be stunned for a moment.


    Did he know these people?


    Very quickly, the people who had arrived had quickly arrived before them! This place was actually another caravan ¡­


    "Brother Changyang, long time no see." That caravan also had dozens of people. The person at the front looked at Guan Changyang and spoke.


    Guan Changyang''s face was dark and cold, but he let out a cold laugh: "Indeed, it''s been a long time. But I don''t want to see you. "


    "How is that possible?" The person seemed to be stunned for a moment before laughing out loud, "Brother Changyang, why didn''t you invite me in for a cup of tea?"


    "No, I know you have a lot to do, so it''s better not to do it." Guan Changyang still did not give the other party a good look. Instead, he slightly narrowed his eyes and coldly said: "Go back to where you came from."


    "That won''t do." The person smiled and waved his hand. The two people who followed closely behind also burst out with an imposing manner.


    They were all Earth Origin Stage!


    Seeing this strength, Guan Changyang instantly understood something. He immediately became excited: "Luo Yansheng, don''t go overboard!"


    "So what?" Luo Yansheng smiled slightly, he did not care at all. He then shouted out to Hong Yang and the others, "Listen up, how much money does Guan Changyang have to hire you guys?


    Although no one could use this Origin Condensation Pill, it was still considered to be a rather valuable item. Even with some people, it was basically just for money. Suddenly, many people on Guan Changyang''s side started to waver.


    Hong Yang frowned slightly. They were naturally not moved by money. There were still over a thousand gold coins in the bag, which was more than the reward of everyone here.


    However, Luo Yansheng''s actions were filled with disdain. Even though he was a businessman, this was for the best. "However, as a warrior, he was a bit despicable.


    "This won''t do, we must all have some credibility!" "If not, how would I be able to sit in this line of work in the future?" Someone was finally the first to roar. If they were to turn their backs on him now, it would be very difficult for them to have more caravans in the future.


    When he said this, the people who were moved by the money immediately sobered up and immediately agreed. It was too inappropriate to give up on something like this just for a moment.


    "Three times." Sneering, Luo Yansheng looked at the excited warriors and said indifferently.


    "Luo Yansheng!" Guan Changyang was already angered to the extreme, the vitality in his hand was stimulated, and he only wanted to pounce forward: "Isn''t it just relying on making a bit from the Taiyi Sect? You are a good person who added insult to injury, a person who despises others. "


    Hearing that, Luo Yansheng''s eyes also stared straight at him, and said: "You say that I do not hold back my words, and add insult to injury? You don''t even look at what''s in your horse carriage! "


    After Hong Yang heard this, he immediately turned around to look at the carriage. The carriage was tightly sealed, making it impossible to see what was inside. But at least from the outside, there was no problem.


    He had accidentally slapped it before as well. It wasn''t as thick as he had imagined, but rather it seemed relatively empty. It seemed like there weren''t many goods inside.


    But even so, he didn''t think too much about it. Only now did he turn his attention back to the truck.


    "I don''t think you need to care what my goods are, right?" Guan Changyang gave a cold laugh and said: "If you turn around and leave now, I can let bygones be bygones."


    Luo Yansheng looked at him and said: "Open the carriage now and let everyone take a look at your goods! Then, without another word, I immediately turned around and left. How about I gift you another five Origin Accumulation Pill? "


    Five Origin Accumulation Pill!


    Pills that could raise one''s cultivation were always incomparably expensive. Even Luo Qingyao who was born in Pill Master had a face full of shock.


    Origin Accumulation Pill s were pellets at the peak of the third rank, and their difficulty in refining them was not any less than that of some fourth rank pellets. This value, couldn''t be clearer that Luo Qingyao was the most valuable one.


    Back then, Hong Yang relied on a Origin Accumulation Pill and successfully entered the eighth level of the Origin Returning Stage. He was naturally clear of the value of a Origin Accumulation Pill. To Origin Returning Stage, that was simply the greatest temptation.


    But even so, Guan Changyang still shook his head, and sneered: "Sorry, not interested."


    Five Origin Accumulation Pill! He could actually reject such a high price. This also made Hong Yang have a whole new level of respect for him.


    This also showed that the value of the goods in the carriage far exceeded the value of the five Origin Accumulation Pill. He couldn''t even take a glance at it.


    For a moment, everyone was interested in the goods Guan Changyang was shipping. However, due to their status, they did not inquire.


    "Then I''m sorry, I can''t let you leave today." Luo Yansheng sneered. She then stepped forward and looked around at the people, his gaze landing on Guan Changyang again: "There is no place for you in Taiyi County. Who would have thought that you would actually come to this Cloud Forest City. Do you think you have a chance to start over here? "


    His tone had already contained a trace of ill intent. Guan Changyang''s face paled slightly, but he was not one bit afraid to be outdone.


    "Wait, Mr. Luo!" Guan Changyang hesitated and was about to speak. Behind him, a practitioner from Origin Returning Stage shouted, "I can leave this group! But the condition is that you have to split the five Origin Accumulation Pill with me. "


    To any practitioner of Origin Returning Stage, the temptation of Origin Accumulation Pill was huge, and no one could resist it! Under this situation, some people had already begun to waver.


    Luo Yansheng muttered to himself. The other party was in the early stages of sixth rank. If he could get his hands on a Origin Accumulation Pill, he could at least save three to four years of hard training.


    After some thought, he raised his head and smiled. "Of course you can."


    Crash! *


    The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar! The warrior was immediately overjoyed, and cupped his fists towards Guan Changyang, "Sorry. To me, a Origin Accumulation Pill is just too important. I don''t need your reward anymore. "


    After saying that, he instantly left the group and ran towards Luo Yansheng''s group! As for the others, they went from silence to discussion.


    Aside from Guan Changyang himself, everyone present only had Origin Returning Stage. At this moment, aside from Hong Yang, almost everyone else was tempted.


    Hong Yang frowned, he then stepped forward and laughed: "What you have done, is not a bit inappropriate, is it? This is someone the other party has painstakingly brought over. What right do you have to do this? "

 C83

    Luo Yansheng looked at Hong Yang, and a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face. Very quickly, a Earth Origin Stage expert beside him also told him of Hong Yang''s true strength.


    "Eight level of Origin Returning Stage?" A hint of curiosity appeared in Luo Yansheng''s eyes at that moment. "How about this, I''ll also give you a Origin Accumulation Pill, how about it?"


    The other practitioners also opened their eyes wide. How could he give out a Origin Accumulation Pill like that?


    However, Hong Yang shook his head instead: "I accept your good intentions, I do not need it."


    As he spoke, his eyes fell on the floor. The eighth stage of Origin Returning Stage! Just one Origin Accumulation Pill would be enough to reach the strength of the ninth stage of the Origin Returning Stage.


    Then, after that, with just a single step, he would be able to reach the Peak of Returning Origin Stage! This temptation, Hong Yang actually rejected it?


    What they did not know was that Hong Yang had already consumed a Origin Accumulation Pill. Even if they were to treat Origin Accumulation Pill as food, there would be no result.


    "No need?" Luo Yansheng frowned, and looked at Hong Yang with some disbelief. Behind him, Duan Yu was also slightly moved.


    He was already at the ninth stage of the Origin Returning Stage! If he could still consume another Origin Accumulation Pill, he would be able to break through to the Peak of Returning Origin Stage in one go. At that time, he would naturally have the strength to attack Earth Origin Stage.


    To him, this Origin Accumulation Pill was still somewhat attractive. However, he was already on the same side as Hong Yang now, so naturally he wouldn''t do anything to betray her.


    While he was thinking, Luo Xiaoyu suddenly prodded him. Subsequently, he took out a medicinal pill from his pocket.


    Duan Yu looked carefully, it was actually a Origin Accumulation Pill as well! Moreover, the pill was plump and milky-white in color, with faint traces of tiny Essence Qi coiling around it. it was definitely a high-grade Origin Accumulation Pill, and could even be compared with fourth rank medicine.


    Although Luo Qingyao did not have any offensive medicinal pellets on him, there were still quite a few recovery medicinal pellets, as well as pellets like Origin Accumulation Pill s and Origin Concentrating Pills. Now that she had brought one out for Duan Yu, he didn''t feel the slightest bit of heartache either.


    Hong Yang had already consumed one, but Luo Qingyao herself specialized in the Pill Dao, so she did not need it. Therefore, giving this to Duan Yu, would be the best.


    When Duan Yu saw the object in Luo Qingyao''s hands, he felt a warm feeling in the bottom of his heart. With this pellet, it was only a matter of time before Earth Origin Stage would increase.


    "This way, any expert with Returning Origin Stage and above will be able to obtain a Origin Accumulation Pill. For those under the Origin Returning Stage, their pay will be doubled, how about it? " Seeing that he was unable to shake Hong Yang, Luo Yansheng did not mind and continued to speak. When these words came out, many people were tempted.


    "Anyone who doesn''t pass will be paid twice as much!" Guan Changyang clenched his teeth, and could only reply. He did not have too much finances on him, nor did he have any Origin Accumulation Pill s on him. It was impossible to compete with him in wealth within a short period of time.


    The expressions of those below Origin Returning Stage and fifth rank instantly became a lot calmer. As for those above Origin Returning Stage, all of their expressions still carried hesitation. A few hot beauties had even taken a few steps forward.


    Even if it was a million gold coins, it was definitely not worth as much as a Origin Accumulation Pill! This was a pill that almost every martial artist yearned for in their dreams. Even if one was poor for life, they could only sigh in admiration.


    "I already said, as long as you take a look at the goods that you are about to take, I will immediately turn around and leave! The wealth he had promised to them would naturally be kept. "How about it?"


    Luo Yansheng continued to sneer. Then he said. The man who welcomed Hong Yang and the others also stepped forward and asked: "What exactly is inside? Now that the situation is urgent, why not give them a look? "


    "Like I said, if I say no, then no!" Guan Changyang turned around and scolded his. He then turned around and frowned, "Is there no other way?"


    "Of course there are." Smiling faintly, a cold light flashed in Luo Yansheng''s eyes, "That is, hit your mother until she doesn''t recognize you, and then open the carriage!"


    After he finished speaking, in the next second, the two Earth Origin Stage Warriors suddenly advanced! Guan Changyang''s face also became pale white for a moment.


    Guan Changyang himself was only a Earth Origin Stage Ranker! As for the other guards, the majority of them had Origin Returning Stage s of the fourth level.


    If he were to go up with Origin Returning Stage, it would be no different from striking a rock with an egg. And the only person who could truly judge the situation here against a Earth Origin Stage Ranker seemed to be Guan Changyang himself.


    Guan Changyang was startled, and immediately retreated! Following that was a loud shout, "Hurry up and follow me, we''ll repel them together!"


    However, his shout was truly something that was completely impossible. The Origin Accumulation Pill s that those rogue cultivators almost dreamed of! Furthermore, if they really attacked Luo Yansheng''s men, it would be equivalent to killing him with their own hands!


    Guan Changyang saw that no one moved. And with his own strength, he could only fight against one. He couldn''t even fight against two of them. He could only retreat to the side of the horse carriage and smile wryly.


    "If you have the ability, then protect that horse carriage for the rest of your life." One of the two Earth Origin Stage Warriors laughed sinisterly. Then, he closed in on Guan Changyang, unleashed his Essence and instantly attacked him.


    Guan Changyang did not stay any longer and immediately got up to receive the palm strike! However, after their clash, a serious expression emerged on his face. He was forced back seven or eight steps!


    Hong Yang had only been in the Earth Origin Stage for half a year, and his foundation was fake, so he couldn''t even take a single blow.


    As for the two people in front of him, both of them had already advanced into the Earth Origin Stage for at least a year, and they could reach the desired state at any time, advancing into the existence of Earth Origin Stage.


    If this continued, it would take less than half an hour. Guan Changyang would definitely lose!


    Guan Changyang was also looking at his surroundings at this moment. The aura of the Earth Origin Stage Warriors were simply too overwhelming, and many people couldn''t help but retreat.


    "Hmm?"


    Guan Changyang suddenly noticed that Hong Yang and the other two had not retreated at all! He immediately shouted, "Help me! There will definitely be a heavy reward for my help!"


    Luo Qingyao had the Pill Master s and cultivation s, so she naturally knew how to use skills to resist the attacks. As for Duan Yu, he was an existence at the ninth level of the Returning Origin Stage, something that he could barely resist.


    Hong Yang sighed deeply. Since the other party was taking him in, it would not be good for him to not have the slightest bit of strength. He looked at Duan Yu and said helplessly, "Make your move."


    Together, he and Duan Yu could fight against a Earth Origin Stage Ranker. This point had already been verified within the Qingcheng County.

 C84

    Seeing Hong Yang taking a step forward, Guan Changyang secretly rejoiced in his heart. Although Hong Yang and Duan Yu were only at Returning Origin Stage! But for him, it was still better than no one helping him right now.


    Luo Yansheng glanced at Hong Yang with some astonishment and immediately said: "Are you sure you want to help him?"


    Hong Yang looked at him with a helpless expression: "Of course I have to help him due to the favor."


    He was talking about receiving favors from others, not money. These words also caused Luo Yansheng to frown slightly.


    Then, Luo Yansheng''s gaze turned towards one of the two Earth Origin Stage experts, and fiercely shouted: "Xu Xiong, kill him!"


    The Earth Origin Stage Ranker called Xu Xiong heard and immediately stopped his attack on Guan Changyang. In fact, there was one person who could defeat Guan Changyang as long as nothing unexpected happened.


    Duan Yu''s current vitality, was also mostly recovered. Although it was only a temporary replenishment, the operation was not that smooth. But it could still be used in battles.


    Upon seeing this, he immediately drew the large bow on his back! The arrow was aimed at Xu Xiong from the bow.


    "Haha, you still think you can turn the sky around?"


    When Xu Xiong saw the two of them exploding with power, and that they really wanted to make a move, a look of contempt appeared in his eyes. His body quickly moved forward, and without holding back in the slightest, he released the aura of his Earth Origin Stage.


    He immediately rushed to Duan Yu''s side! Then, he directly threw a punch at a distance of more than ten meters between them! Instantly, the sound of something tearing through the air flashed by his ears.


    Hong Yang could tell at a glance that the other party was most likely a fist intent cultivator. Although the power of this punch was only at Earth Origin Stage, it had a large range and actually faintly sealed off the path of retreat for the two.


    His eyes slightly narrowed, as he directly looked towards Duan Yu. At this time, the best way was to make a point of it.


    After exchanging glances with Duan Yu, the latter immediately understood his meaning. As the Essence Qi surged, it directly gathered at a point on the tip of the arrow.


    Moonfall stance!


    The arrow shot out without reservation, directly breaking through the invisible fist force! The moment the arrow appeared, it flew straight towards Xu Xiong.


    After the fist power was broken apart, it instantly dissipated. In the end, it was only a gust of wind that landed on the two of them.


    Hong Yang took a deep breath, and directly dashed forward.


    Thunderstorm rolled out!


    Xu Xiong was also stunned. He didn''t think that his opponent would be able to find a flaw and break open his own move! Looking at the incoming arrow, he steeled his heart. He took a step forward and threw another punch.


    Heaven Splitting Fist!


    This time, he actually used his cultivation technique! When he punched out, in his eyes, it was enough to cripple Guan Changyang. It was more than enough to deal with this move.


    However, just as he was about to explode out, a massive thunderclap suddenly resounded in his mind without any forewarning!


    His mind was momentarily distracted, but it was only for a short period of time. However, when he came back to his senses, he was stunned. His punch had landed in the wrong direction.


    Puff ¡ª -


    His left shoulder was instantly pierced by an arrow! His entire person howled in agony as blood spurted out, appearing extremely terrifying.


    "That sound of wind and thunder can really catch me off guard." With this ability, I''m afraid that no one will be able to match him in Origin Returning Stage, right? "


    Duan Yu also did not continue to attack and stood at his original position. He hadn''t completely recovered his Essence yet, so he used the Falling Moon Style again. He was running out of energy.


    After swallowing a handful of pills that Luo Qingyao had given him earlier, he had been calmly replying to every word.


    That strike just now had already caused Xu Xiong to suffer a certain amount of injuries. After that, it was all up to Hong Yang.


    Seeing that the other party was injured, Hong Yang naturally would not let go of this opportunity. He pushed out his right hand as the origin energy transformed into the power of wind and thunder, directly and ruthlessly sending out a palm strike.


    The thunder shook the sky!


    Xu Xiong''s left shoulder was injured, just as he raised his head, he immediately saw Hong Yang''s figure rushing over. He was so shocked that he subconsciously threw out a punch. At the same time, he retreated backward with explosive speed.


    He looked at the other Earth Origin Stage Ranker that was fighting fiercely with Guan Changyang and could not help but become a little angry. The other party did not even suffer any damage to his Earth Origin Stage. While he was facing two existences with Origin Returning Stage, he was actually at a disadvantage from the very beginning.


    Bang!


    Hong Yang directly clashed with the opponent''s fist! The punch had only been thrown out in a hurry. In addition to Xu Xiong''s injuries, the power of the punch was only twenty to thirty percent. With this clash, Hong Yang retreated a few steps.


    The two were evenly matched!


    "Your name? To be able to injure Xu Xiong with Origin Returning Stage and also have that bizarre sound of wind and thunder, is definitely extraordinary. " Luo Yansheng frowned and also started to worry. He opened his mouth once again and said: "You and that person each have a Origin Accumulation Pill, and two thousand gold coins. How about it?"


    Two thousand gold coins! Hearing Luo Yansheng''s bid, even some of the warriors who were originally on his side became jealous. This was the equivalent of several years of their combined income!


    "If you can take out the Great Recovery Pill, maybe I can consider it." Hong Yang coldly replied. As he recovered some of the energy that had started to roil in his body. Although he''d received the strike from before, his blood and qi had been in turmoil.


    He was only at the eighth stage of the Origin Returning Stage, so crossing three small realms to fight his opponent was still incredibly difficult for him.


    Luo Yansheng was startled. He naturally knew about the Great Recovery Pill, it was a fifth rank pellet! He was startled for a moment, and then shook his head, and understood that Hong Yang was just fawning on him.


    even for some of the large sects, taking out fifth rank pellets would cause them some pain. With his strength, he would have to go bankrupt just to be able to take out a few third rank pellets.


    "Can''t you take another step back?" He frowned, wanting to make further efforts. Then, Duan Yu snorted coldly, and aimed the tip of the arrow at Luo Yansheng.


    Luo Yansheng himself also possessed Origin Returning Stage. Duan Yu was already at the end of his tether, so she naturally could not cause any harm to him. However, he had already expressed his attitude.


    Luo Yansheng took a step back, the combat power Hong Yang and Duan Yu displayed, also far surpassed that of ordinary people. Although he still couldn''t change the outcome, it would at least drag on for a long period of time.


    Xu Xiong recovered for a moment, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Hong Yang was already like that of a dead man. He pulled the arrow out. He then pressed on the acupuncture points on his arm a few times and used his Essence to temporarily block the blood from flowing out.


    Hong Yang slightly narrowed his eyes, as he felt a sense of danger nearing. This was the first time he had truly faced a Earth Origin Stage Ranker! Moreover, the other party would obviously not let him off.

 C85

    For a Earth Origin Stage Ranker, being injured by a Origin Returning Stage Ranker was definitely a great humiliation.


    Hong Yang looked from afar, and he was already at a slight disadvantage! At this rate, he would definitely be defeated in less than a quarter of an hour. At that time, their side would truly be irrevocable.


    His only hope now was to think of a way to defeat the man in front of him. After the morale had been raised, it was not impossible for them to do it in one go.


    "Let''s see if you can withstand this palm!"


    Xu Xiong grinned, and then closed in again. He continued to punch out with his fist, his energy soaring to the heavens.


    Heaven Splitting Fist!


    He had Earth Origin Stage, and was only a step away from Earth Origin Stage! And Hong Yang''s speed, could only be compared to Peak of Returning Origin Stage s. There was an enormous difference in speed between the two.


    Hong Yang instantly dashed to the side with the sound of wind and thunder. Even Duan Yu and Luo Qingyao who were behind him were a bit haggard and caught off guard as they retreated a few steps.


    Luo Qingyao was still not clear about the strangeness of Hong Yang''s wind and thunder powers, but she was only a cultivation with Origin Returning Stage. Fortunately, she had a strong control over her mind, so she regained her senses in an instant.


    "He, he is ¡­" Shocked, she also turned her pleading gaze towards Duan Yu. The latter helplessly shook her head, and replied: "When he was at Qingcheng County, he had his cultivation method modified once, and then it became like this."


    "Adapted cultivation technique? Isn''t that something only Sky Origin Stage experts can do? " A look of disbelief suddenly surfaced on Luo Qingyao''s face. "That kind of expert, should only have very few Taiyi Sect, right?"


    Duan Yu could only let out a bitter laugh. How could someone like him, who was at the ninth level of the Origin Returning Stage, know about this? He immediately consumed another batch of pills, trying his best to recover his Essence and stay alert.


    Hong Yang had already raised the volume of his thunderous roar to its maximum. However, Xu Xiong''s face only became more and more solemn. There was no sign of the absent-minded Xu Xiong from before!


    The other party was able to cultivate to the Earth Origin Stage, so he was naturally not an idiot. It was definitely impossible for the same technique to happen a second time.


    The fist intent filled the sky, and directly sealed off Hong Yang''s path of retreat! Hong Yang saw that he could no longer hide, and had no choice. It was actually his body that was rushing towards the incoming fist force.


    Thunderstorm rolled out!


    Since he could not expose the truth, Hong Yang had also shrunk his flying figure to the minimum. The power of thunder gathered in front of him. It became the size of a finger and flew out.


    Boom!


    That wave of fist power was instantly broken! However, Hong Yang''s figure was right in front of him, there was no chance to dodge. Nearly eighty percent of the force still landed on his body.


    He spat out a mouthful of blood and regained his senses. Gritting his teeth, he continued to rush towards Xu Xiong without slowing down.


    Thunder rumbled in the wind!


    The Wind Chilling Thunder was not very powerful, and was basically used by Hong Yang as a technique to increase his speed. And now, he had used it to forcefully dispel Xu Xiong''s rebound.


    The two of them weren''t too far apart from each other, and in a flash, they arrived in front of Xu Xiong. Thunder rumbled in his hand as it instantly erupted.


    Xu Xiong was shocked once again, but he was no longer as flustered as before. Seeing Hong Yang''s figure flash over, he also directly faced that direction and punched out.


    The thunder shook the sky!


    Boom!


    The two extremely powerful forces clashed. Even Xu Xiong was forced to retreat dozens of steps! The clothes on his right hand were ripped open, and there were bloody wounds all over the place. It was extremely numb.


    His left hand was pierced by Duan Yu''s arrow, while his right hand was paralyzed by Hong Yang''s lightning. Now, both of his arms were unable to circulate properly.


    With both of his hands being crippled, and unable to use the Sky Cracking Fist, Xu Xiong''s fighting strength had been reduced by at least half. Only now did he realize the other party''s true intentions. Instantly, a pair of eyes that seemed like it was going to spew fire, stared straight at Hong Yang.


    Hong Yang was not much better now. As the Essence in his body surged, his internal organs were all injured! Only a small amount of Yuan Qi was left inside his meridians, slowly recovering.


    If it was after that, he could take a few pills and rest for another four or five days. But now, even if he faced someone at the same level of Origin Returning Stage level eight, Hong Yang no longer had the strength to fight back!


    When his hand touched the bag, he immediately touched the remaining Heaven Pill. This Heaven Pill was equivalent to an attack from Earth Origin Stage. If he were to throw it out at this time, he would definitely be able to kill the other party with it.


    However, Hong Yang did not want to do this. But now, even if the opponent''s hands were crippled, even if he only used his Essence, he would still be able to kill him.


    Hong Yang closed his eyes and immediately stood straight. He was betting that Xu Xiong was also severely injured and could not move.


    "Xu Xiong, don''t keep fighting. Destroy that horse carriage!" Luo Yansheng frowned, he also did not expect Hong Yang and the rest to be so troublesome!


    Xu Xiong looked at Hong Yang with eyes filled with rage! After hearing Luo Yansheng''s order, he was stunned for a moment, and then rushed towards the carriage.


    His two hands could no longer execute the Heaven Splitting Fist, but it was just a carriage. Breaking it into pieces was as easy as blowing away a speck of dust!


    "You can''t!" Seeing this, Guan Changyang was shocked. He was already at a disadvantage, so this distraction was immediately hit by the opponent''s palm and sent flying.


    Hong Yang''s eyes were filled with killing intent, seeing Guan Changyang''s actions, he instantly understood how important the object in the carriage was to him! He pushed himself up and flew away once more.


    Thunder rumbled in the wind!


    In just a few dozen meters, Hong Yang had already increased his speed to its maximum. At this time, Xu Xiong''s Essence burst out without restraint, converging into a torrent that surged towards that carriage.


    This time, he used up almost all the Essence in his body! When it was activated, the carriage was already shaking.


    "Hong Yang!" When Luo Qingyao saw Hong Yang gritting her teeth as she got up, he instantly exclaimed, "No!


    Hong Yang heard Luo Qingyao''s call, but turned a deaf ear. With a harden heart, he stopped in front of the carriage.


    Xu Xiong''s heart was also shocked. A moment later, he laughed sinisterly: "This is good as well. I''ll send you to your death too!"


    Hong Yang let out a deep breath. He didn''t stop moving, and instead increased his speed by a bit. He kicked the carriage, borrowing the force to send it flying. At the same time, his hands quickly formed a seal.


    The thunder shook the sky!

 C86

    and to think that Hong Yang had actually unleashed his third attack, Heaven Shaking Lightning! A deep shock emerged on Duan Yu''s face as well.


    He clearly remembered that the attack with the strongest power in the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, Intimidating Thunder, consumed an enormous amount of Essence.


    It was even far above the rumbling of wind and billowing of wind and thunder! With Hong Yang''s current strength, he could only use Lightning Heaven Shaking twice, and there was absolutely no way for him to execute it a third time.


    But now, even though Hong Yang was also spent. However, he had truly unleashed it!


    Hong Yang immediately used a move that shook the sky. This time, it directly sucked out all the Essence in his body, leaving no traces at all.


    Boom!


    The two forces directly clashed! Xu Xiong was also not in a good mood. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura immediately became somewhat sluggish.


    Hong Yang was instantly sent flying! He flew into the air. That force was forcefully resisted by him. But because of this, his entire person was sent flying backwards!


    Bang!


    His entire body violently collided with the horse carriage! The wooden carriage was immediately smashed by the Essence Qi. The two horses roared and dashed in opposite directions.


    "Hong Yang!" Duan Yu immediately shouted out in shock, and without caring about anything else, he directly snatched Luo Qingyao''s bag and flew forward.


    That horse carriage was directly smashed apart by Hong Yang! Instantly, two shrieks sounded from within, causing everyone present to have strange expressions on their faces.


    It was two women screaming, their voices sharp and obviously filled with great fear! Everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked at Guan Changyang with a puzzled expression.


    The two goods that Guan Changyang wanted to transport, were actually two women?


    Luo Yansheng was also slightly worried in the bottom of his heart when he saw this scene unfold. He was about to step forward and do something. However, after seeing the carriage break into pieces, he stopped.


    Then, with a look of ridicule on his face, he shouted, "See? These were Guan Changyang''s goods! I wonder if everyone has ever heard of the ''Brothel Gang, this organization''? "


    Brothel Gang? The group of people who were on Guan Changyang''s side earlier immediately became somewhat suspicious. The sounds of discussion could be heard incessantly.


    And when Luo Qingyao heard this name, her expression also abruptly changed! The look in her eyes as she looked at Guan Changyang once again, had already become one of extreme disgust and despise.


    Very quickly, another knowledgeable martial artist shouted: "It''s that ¡­ To specially kidnap and sell them to transfer the power of the brothels? "


    Brothel Gang, just by hearing the name, wasn''t a good force. When it was truly revealed with a single sentence, the eyes of all the practitioners looking at Guan Changyang had already transformed into endless fury.


    These rogue cultivators were mostly simple and honest. When they heard that Guan Changyang actually belonged to such a power, and that they had actually accepted such a person''s money and traveled together, they all felt incomparably ashamed.


    As the young miss of the Ningyang City, Luo Qingyao naturally understood some things. However, the people from the City Lord''s Mansion only turned a blind eye, and sometimes, they even personally went in to spend some of it.


    Pill Master''s Luo Family, naturally, more or less understood the origin of those enchanting women. A large portion of it came from this so called "Brothel Gang".


    As for how this power managed to obtain so many beautiful women, no one knew. However, everyone knew that this was not an honorable way.


    "I was merely entrusted by someone else and did not know what the goods inside were." Guan Changyang was dazed for a moment before finally regaining his senses, barely able to argue.


    The corner of Luo Yansheng''s mouth continued to rise as he ridiculed, "Since you don''t know anything about it, then let''s just wait and see. "Then why were you so excited when I asked you to open the carriage?"


    Guan Changyang had been around for a long time, so he came back to his senses immediately. and coldly said: "Luo Yansheng! Say that I have no shame to work for Brothel Gang, you don''t seem to be much better than me, right? "


    The embarrassment on Luo Yansheng''s face disappeared in a flash, and he said: "I naturally know what I''m doing! As for you, what should we do if we don''t give them an explanation? "


    "What do I need to tell you?" Guan Changyang immediately laughed: "I''m not someone from the Brothel Gang, but as long as he gives me money, I don''t care what he makes! Are you satisfied with this explanation? "


    Some of the martial practitioners who were still cursing suddenly stopped. That''s right, although the other party''s actions were not shameful, from the perspective of a merchant, it was not wrong at all.


    Duan Yu directly ran to Hong Yang''s side and randomly stuffed in one medicinal pellet that was used to treat injuries and to recover vitality.


    This time, Hong Yang was also severely injured! Fortunately, his meridians and dantian were not injured. Even if his internal organs were injured, to martial artists, it would only be a matter of rest for a few more days.


    Although Hong Yang''s entire body was in pain, his mind was still clear. When he heard the three words "Brothel Gang", his entire body shook violently! And then, the gaze he looked at Guan Changyang with, was even more different than before.


    If he knew that the goods in the carriage were actually two girls, he would definitely not help him! He probably wouldn''t even borrow a floor to stay the night.


    "In the Taiyi County, wasn''t it enough to be strangled to death by the Taiyi Sect? Even now that we have reached the Pine Wind County, we still cannot escape! " Two rays of light exploded out of Luo Yansheng''s eyes. He looked at Guan Changyang, and said coldly: "Chen Yan, knock him out in the cage! When you go back and report this matter to the Taiyi Sect, you will definitely be rewarded quite a bit. "


    That Chen Yan, was also the other Earth Origin Stage Ranker. Hearing that, he immediately walked towards Guan Changyang. The current Guan Changyang basically did not have the slightest ability to resist.


    After Luo Yansheng dealt with Guan Changyang, he immediately looked towards Hong Yang. At this moment, the latter was heavily injured. However, he also saw the expression he used to look at Guan Changyang when he found out the truth previously.


    Sighing lightly, he also waved his hand and said: "Everyone who was originally in Guan Changyang''s group, had come to me for ten gold coins, then you can leave! If you don''t want it, I won''t force you. "


    After hearing this, many of them began to regret their decision. Especially those experts with Origin Returning Stage and above, ten gold coins wasn''t even a third of what Guan Changyang had given them, and they were at least a hundred levels lower than a Origin Accumulation Pill.


    After saying that, he turned around as if he was about to leave.

 C87

    "Wait!"


    Seeing that Luo Yansheng was about to turn and leave, Hong Yang suddenly thought of something and anxiously called out to him. "You just said, give Guan Changyang to Taiyi Sect?"


    Luo Yansheng stopped. Towards Hong Yang, he was acting on the path of martial arts and was still quite respectful, "Yes. Recently, Taiyi Sect have resisted all of them, and even offered a large bounty to suppress these people who have deep enmity. "


    It was very obvious that Luo Yansheng also felt a little disgust towards these people. A power, however, was maintained by the brothel. Furthermore, what they had done was definitely something that everyone in the world denounced.


    His heart skipped a beat. It seemed that his Taiyi Sect had not been dormant for the past few days. Hong Yang immediately spoke out: "I am also heading towards the place that the Taiyi County is stationed at. I wonder if we can travel together? "


    When these words left his mouth, he felt that something was wrong. However, he had no choice but to bite the bullet. He had just injured one of them, and now he was asking to go with them? This was a bit too much.


    However, this was already the best solution for now! Behind him, Cloud Forest City was still in the process of searching for him throughout the city.


    The other party had the same destination as him. Since that was the case, it would be beneficial to each other if they went together.


    Sure enough, Luo Yansheng thought for a while, and then hesitated: "Why are you going to the Taiyi Sect?"


    "Something happened to me while I was in the Pine Wind County. Now, I want to look for a job under Taiyi Sect. " With a bitter laugh, Hong Yang could only casually make up a reason: "I wonder how old you are, who''s the limit of the Taiyi Sect''s disciple acceptance rate?"


    Hong Yang arrived at the Taiyi Sect in his teens, and followed his master to cultivate since then. He was really not too clear about the affairs of the Taiyi Sect sects.


    Luo Yansheng was also silent for a while, after that he started to think, he started to plan carefully.


    Hong Yang also looked to be quite good in his early twenties, although his Taiyi Sect did not accept disciples whose age exceeded the limit. However, to be a cultivation of the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage at such an age, was truly a rare feat.


    Furthermore, Hong Yang''s fighting strength was far superior to a normal person at the eighth stage of the Returning Origin Stage. Even though he could not beat a Earth Origin Stage expert, he still had enough strength to fight against Peak of Returning Origin Stage! Relying on the special effects of that wind and thunder power, it wouldn''t be an exaggeration to say that it was invincible amongst those of the same level.


    The power of the wind and thunder had no difference. Even if Luo Yansheng were to stand afar, he would still be affected to a certain extent.


    Although there was almost no possibility of becoming a disciple, with Hong Yang''s Inherent Skill, it was still possible to find a job in the Taiyi Sect. Even after entering the Earth Origin Stage, there would still be a lot to say.


    In fact ¡­ Another idea popped out in Luo Yansheng''s mind. Then, with Hong Yang''s talent, would he be looked upon by some big shot in the Taiyi Sect? He was also shocked by his own thoughts. He then lightly shook his head and denied it.


    The probability of this happening was too small. It was just that after thinking about it, he also made up his mind to build a good relationship with Hong Yang.


    "You are eighteen years old, but with your ability, it won''t be hard for you to find a job in the Taiyi Sect." As Luo Yansheng thought of this, he immediately replied: "However, your injuries ¡ª ¡ª"


    "There''s nothing serious about my injuries. I''ll just rest for a few days." Hong Yang was indifferent to this point because he was covered with injuries. He could even feel a sharp pain in his internal organs whenever he talked.


    However, as long as it did not hurt his meridians and dantian, he had obtained some techniques from Elder Xiaoyao to recover from. The speed at which he recovered his injuries and his vitality was many times faster than a normal person.


    "If I accept you, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. How about eight hundred gold coins? " Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Hong Yang remained silent for a moment and then revealed his own bargaining chip.


    As long as he had enough gold coins, it was useless to him. However, not a single team was able to protect him. In this vast prairie, it was only a matter of time before he was discovered.


    However, the other martial artists'' faces were full of surprise. Eight hundred gold coins! To them, this was equivalent to a sky-high price.


    Luo Yansheng had originally wanted to agree, but when he heard Hong Yang''s words, he was overjoyed. Afraid that the other party would go back on his word, he immediately said, "It''s alright, it''s fine." There are still a lot of empty spots in the carriage, just randomly pick one and you can recuperate. "


    Hong Yang did not decline. Eight hundred gold coins could have bought half of his goods, but a carriage was naturally worth it.


    Duan Yu casually picked a smaller horse carriage, and it was barely enough for three people. Hong Yang himself did not have much need for it, he only needed to find a place to cultivate. After going up, he immediately sat cross-legged and slowly entered a state of meditation.


    After swallowing a handful of medicinal pills, he hesitated for a moment before taking out another Origin Condensation Pill and consuming it. Suddenly, the last bit of Yuan Qi left in his body started to gather in his Dantian, forming a small ball.


    "In that exchange earlier, I actually used the third move, Heaven Shaking Lightning ¡­" As he muttered to himself, Hong Yang''s expression also became somewhat puzzled.


    After which, he slowly urged the remaining Yuan Power in the clump, before slowly circulating it through his channels. Not long after, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.


    "Top of the eighth step huh ¡­"


    In that previous battle, Hong Yang did not think too much about it, and directly used the third move, Heaven Shaking Lightning. Unexpectedly, his strength had improved once again, reaching the peak of the eighth step!


    As for the current him, all he had to do was to wait for his vitality to be fully recovered, and once he reached the level of Perception, he could also directly advance into the ninth level of Origin Returning Stage if he added in the impact of the medicinal pellets!


    "Let''s talk about this after we return to the Taiyi Sect. "Even if I can''t go back, I have to find a safe place ¡­" Hong Yang pondered for a moment and made his plans.


    After leveling up, there would always be a period of instability. This period of time might be short, but it was extremely critical. He absolutely could not allow any mistakes to occur.


    Otherwise, his cultivation level might drop at any moment. Only when his Qi stabilized and the Yuan Qi in his body had completely adapted to the broadening of his Jing and Mai could he be considered to have entered a new realm.


    Duan Yu did not return to the carriage. As for Luo Qingyao, he was in the same room as Hong Yang.


    Hong Yang''s clothes were tattered and covered in blood. He had fallen into a state of cultivation and had completely forgotten about the perception of the outside world. As for Luo Qingyao, she could only look at Hong Yang. There was nothing he could do.


    After looking at it for a while, she felt her face growing a little pale. After that, he turned his head away in embarrassment and sat down with his legs crossed. He began his cultivation that he had not touched for a very long time.

 C88

    Hong Yang''s injuries were also healing at a speed almost visible to the naked eye. In just half a day''s time, all the scabs had formed and the Yuan Power in his body continued to circulate within his body. In fact, it had become even more unobstructed than before.


    His Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, which caused the wind to rumble and thunder to rumble, also brought along the kind of sound of wind and thunder that could captivate one''s mind! However, the strongest attack, the move that could cause the heavens to tremble, was only an extremely loud sound.


    He had tried countless times to add that kind of effect to the Lightning Oscillating Sky! If he was hit by such a high attack and had that kind of effect ¡­ It was possible that he could suddenly upgrade Three Styles of Wind and Thunder to a second grade cultivation technique.


    After all, no one had ever heard of a cultivation technique that could attract the attention of others. Even among the second-grade martial skills, it was an existence that could only be found by luck.


    However, even after countless experiments, he still could not bring this effect to the point where it could shake the sky and the earth. After a night of cultivating and comprehending, he stopped what he was thinking about.


    At this moment, it was already noon of the second day. Although the resentment in Hong Yang''s body had not completely recovered, they had already gathered into a certain amount, and were continuously flowing through his meridians. In just half a day, he would be able to recover to his peak strength.


    Once he arrived at the Taiyi County and confirmed there was no danger, he would also be able to break through to the ninth level of the Origin Returning Stage at any time! Now, he wouldn''t miss these few days.


    After opening the door of the carriage, the rest of them were still proceeding forward. When Duan Yu saw him stick his head out, he was instantly pleasantly surprised. "How is it?"


    However, when he saw Hong Yang''s appearance, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.


    "There''s nothing serious left. I''ll be able to rest for two or three more days." Hong Yang''s entire body was covered with scabs, making him look a little terrifying. But what surprised Duan Yu was not Hong Yang''s terrifying appearance, but the scab all over his body!


    He was also a martial artist, so he naturally understood that although injuries like these were rare, it wasn''t as if there weren''t any. He ignored the fact that he would normally need to lie in bed for thirteen to fourteen days before he could fully recover.


    But now, Hong Yang''s entire body was covered with scabs! Although it looked extremely ferocious, it didn''t affect its actual movement. His face no longer had that extreme tiredness, instead, it was slightly flushed.


    How, how is this possible! It had only been half a day! For a moment, Duan Yu looked at Hong Yang, his mouth was wide open, and he was unable to say anything.


    "How far is it from the Taiyi County?" Hong Yang laughed bitterly, he looked at the stunned Duan Yu and said. Duan Yu was silent for a moment, then said helplessly: "There is still half a day. Around tonight, we should be able to reach the Taiyi County."


    Evening time... Hong Yang nodded. This speed could already be considered extremely fast.


    According to his estimation, the fastest way would be tomorrow morning. He didn''t expect that he would already be able to reach the border this evening.


    After being stunned for a moment, he looked at Hong Yang, and Duan Yu knew that he had misunderstood, and immediately explained: "We are only at the two county border, we are still some distance from the city. We have to rest at the border for the night and wait until the morning of the third day before we can reach the city. "


    The so-called city, was referring to Hua Chi City, the second largest city in Taiyi County. He was second only to the capital.


    Hong Yang''s heart was also moved!


    Taiyi Sect was not something that was just a small sect, it was something that spread across the entire continent! And this Hua Chi City, was where Hong Yang''s master resided, the city where his Blue Lotus Institution resided.


    Very quickly, Luo Qingyao also stuck her head out from the side. She mainly trained in the matters of the Pill Master, not the cultivation s. The training session last night only lasted until daybreak, but there was no progress.


    Her potential in the Martial Dao could only be described as average. Even if he was extremely poor, he would only have Origin Returning Stage of five sixth rank in his entire life. It would be better to give up on the martial way and focus on refining the techniques of the Pill Master.


    When she saw Hong Yang''s face, she merely frowned. She also knew a bit about martial arts. Naturally, she wasn''t too surprised by the scene after being injured.


    "Let''s accelerate." "If we still can''t reach the border before sunset today, then it would not be good for us to camp here for the night." Luo Yansheng also frowned and ordered, "The soldiers at the border guards can protect us. In this prairie, there is no guarantee at all. "


    Including yesterday, Guan Changyang''s team was also recruited. Because at that time, it was already night, Guan Changyang had been captured, and they had nowhere else to go. If he was left alone in this vast prairie, it was unknown whether he would be able to survive until tomorrow morning.


    At this moment, Luo Yansheng also faintly felt that he had a bad premonition. After coming over this morning, he had only met a small group of no more than ten people. As for the caravan groups, they didn''t encounter any of them.


    This also caused him to feel that something was wrong. In the past, there would always be many caravans on the prairie, as well as large groups of rogue cultivators crossing the prairie. But today, not a single person was to be seen.


    "Could it be the border? Did something happen?" Chen Yan walked to his side and said solemnly. Luo Yansheng also came to a realization, and then revealed his deep worry.


    From the looks of it, this was the only explanation! Only if there was an accident at the border and people were not allowed to pass through.


    Borders being sealed was something that had never happened before! Although Taiyi County was the province of the border, only it and Cloud County which were at the border of the border could be considered the true border of the border.


    It had been quite some time since they had sealed the place at the border of the Taiyi County and the Taiyi County. With this thought in mind, Luo Yansheng became even more anxious.


    Chen Yan was silent for a moment, and then said: "It''s fine, I have the Taiyi Sect''s orders. "At that time, if I tell him to let me pass temporarily, I should be fine with it ¡­"


    After saying that, he also took out a token from his waist. Seeing the order badge, Luo Yansheng finally let out a sigh of relief, as his heart calmed down.


    As the group continued their hurried march, news of this situation quickly spread throughout the entire group. No one dared to be careless. They all unconsciously increased their speed.


    It would be good if they met some wild beast spending the night in this vast prairie. There was once a powerful caravan of several hundred people, but they encountered two groups of bandits that joined hands and ended up completely annihilated.


    Finally ¡­ At this moment, the darkness of the night had already begun to show signs. Not far in front of them, several military camps at the border slowly entered their line of sight.

 C89

    At this moment, although the sky was slightly dark, it was not too late. Seeing the appearance of the military camp, everyone immediately rushed there.


    It didn''t matter if they passed through or not. It was better to camp out next to the military camp than in the wilderness. Anyone who had trekked outside for a long time would understand this principle.


    Sure enough, just as they were about to cross the border, they were stopped by the patrolling soldiers! After a careful inquiry, it was indeed true. The border had been sealed off.


    However, the seal only lasted for three days. Hearing this news, Luo Yansheng''s face also turned pale white for a while.


    He usually hired these fighters with the power of the heavens! After all, who knew how many days it would take to transport someone. This was also the most basic method of calculating for hiring those rogue cultivators.


    He would have to make up for the three days of delay even if he had to make up for the whole trip. Not to mention that the payment was not a big deal and the trip would be a big one. Three days of time was not something he could afford to waste.


    Soon, everyone in the caravan heard the warning. When Hong Yang heard this news, the expression on his entire face changed drastically as well.


    He immediately understood the reason for sealing the border! Three days. Only three days were left.


    Aside from a few people, most caravans had set aside a delay of three days, so there wasn''t much to do. And to them, three days was more than enough time to search the entire Cloud Forest City and this prairie.


    Since they wanted to capture him, this border region was naturally within the scope of this search! He let out a bitter laugh. He had not expected the other party to actually dare to seal off the border. It was already extremely difficult for him to escape to the Taiyi County himself.


    On his journey here, whether it was in terms of strength or scheming, he had exerted himself to the extreme before being able to escape. But now, this was the first time he felt so weak. There was nothing to do but pray.


    "Chen Yan, can you pass the Taiyi Sect badge?" Retracting, Luo Yansheng also looked at Chen Yan and said helplessly.


    Previously, Chen Yan had told him that he had the Taiyi Sect''s command medallion, and that he had certain privileges! And right now, Luo Yansheng could only rely on this.


    To Taiyi County, it was even more influential than the Pill Master s'' Luo Family. It had existed for more than a thousand years, and had even been named after it when the county was first named.


    Therefore, even in terms of County Lord''s Mansion, Taiyi Sect could be used to a certain extent. Therefore, right now, he could only place all his hopes on Chen Yan.


    Hong Yang got off the carriage, and directly rode on Duan Yu''s horse. He went forward and asked: "Is there really no other way?"


    Luo Yansheng also laughed bitterly: "Chen Yan has already taken the Taiyi Sect token and is going to request for permission. If we do not succeed, then we can only wait here for three days. "


    Chen Yan? The bottom of Hong Yang''s heart moved, and he also secretly remembered this name.


    In Taiyi Sect, disciples usually use Wu Chen and Wei as their markers! It was just like how Star Moon Sect began with the word "star". In Taiyi Sect, the male disciple began with "Wu Chen". The female disciple began with the word "Wei".


    When Hong Yang was at the Taiyi Sect, he was nicknamed "Chen Yang". However, he had already left the Taiyi Sect, so he naturally no longer used the name, but used his own name instead.


    Then this Chen Yan should also be a Taiyi Sect disciple! The cultivation that looked at his Earth Origin Stage probably stayed in his Taiyi Sect for a long time as well.


    At that moment, Hong Yang had no other choice but to wait quietly on the spot. If he could pass through and enter the Taiyi County like this, it would naturally be no problem at all. There were many experts in the Taiyi Sect, and there were even some who had Sky Origin Stage! Back then, Hong Yang''s master, Ma Chengfeng, was an expert at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage.


    Such a huge monster, even the Ye Family of Pine Wind County and the Pine Wind County combined would not dare to easily offend it. But now, this border was like a huge chasm that stopped him in his tracks.


    He waited for a long time. When the sky had completely fallen, the night sky appeared, but there was still no activity. When Luo Yansheng was also about to give up all hope, he was about to give the order to set up camp. Chen Yan also finally sprinted back from afar.


    "How is it?" "Over at the military camp, do you agree to let them go?" Luo Yansheng asked anxiously the moment he saw Chen Yan''s return. He still had Guan Changyang in his hands, and if he was unable to deliver his to him, he was afraid that some unforeseen event would occur.


    "The other side has agreed, but ¡­" Chen Yan glanced at Luo Yansheng, and immediately replied: "They seem to be searching for a person. Every single one of us is required to go through them one by one, and only after we have confirmed that nothing is wrong, will we be allowed to leave. "


    He noticed that Luo Yansheng''s expression was somewhat ashen and immediately said, "Three days later, those people who left would also have to undergo this investigation. We were already allowed in advance, so this process is naturally unavoidable. "


    Luo Yansheng seemed to be thinking about something, he was not afraid of detection at all. It was just that Guan Changyang was still being imprisoned in his carriage. If they were found out, they would immediately use the death penalty to illegally imprison their captains.


    After pondering for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed, "Let''s do it now! I didn''t do anything anyway. Since he would have to pass sooner or later, he might as well do so earlier. for everyone to go and camp at Taiyi County''s territory. "


    It was dark now, and it was already the last time to leave the border. If they didn''t come out now, and if the other party went back on their word tomorrow, they really wouldn''t have a place to cry.


    Hearing Luo Yansheng''s consent, Hong Yang''s expression also instantly changed greatly! Naturally, he knew what the other party was looking for. But now, Luo Yansheng had decided to continue forward.


    Even if he was lucky enough to not get recognized, then Luo Qingyao would definitely be recognized as well! In order to catch the big miss of the Luo Family, the Pill Master s naturally would not miss out any details. It was definitely impossible for Luo Qingyao to pass through.


    In Hong Yang''s mind, his imagination was running wild. They quickly arrived at the border. Some of the people in the front had even started to compare carefully before they were allowed to pass through one by one.


    He narrowed his eyes slightly and focused his gaze on the area of inspection, trying to find a weak point. However, this action made him even more surprised!


    He saw that it was not the portraits that identified him. It was the Qingcheng County, the Ye Family''s Ye Nan Mu. He was comparing everyone''s appearance one by one!

 C90

    Seeing this scene, the bottom of Hong Yang''s heart immediately sank, and his face also became gloomy and cold right after.


    If one were to speak of mere portraits, it was still possible to muddle through. However, it was impossible for Ye Nantian to do it himself!


    Duan Yu''s face was also somewhat pale. He had naturally noticed this as well. He came over and asked, "What should we do?"


    "Prepare yourself to charge through." Hong Yang''s expression did not look any better. "Let''s go back to the carriage first."


    Ye Nanlu, must have passed the conversation with Suo Qingqiu as well. He never thought that Suo Qingqiu would actually be shameless to this extent.


    When he was chasing Gu Changdong, he had even handed over the black order to him. But now, if he provoked Qingcheng County, he would bring people from Qingcheng County to chase after him.


    With this person leading the way for them, their Pine Wind County would probably not improve in another hundred years.


    If it was just one Ye Nan Mu, it would be easy to deal with him. The problem was that Ye Nanlu definitely could not act alone! If there was another strong Ranker like Ye Nan Mu, even if there were ten Hong Yang s, it would still be impossible to escape.


    Returning to the carriage, Duan Yu followed along. And after some discussion, Luo Qingyao was at the back of the group.


    When the time comes, there would definitely be chaos. Luo Qingyao only needed to take advantage of the chaos to escape. Even if it was the worst case scenario, Luo Qingyao being caught and brought back would definitely not be life-threatening.


    No matter how powerful the plan was, or how profound the scheme was, in the face of absolute power, it would all be in vain ¡­ Hong Yang felt exactly this way right now.


    Soon, the team reached a place not too far away. Luo Yansheng also passed the examination, and then, he looked at his own caravan.


    The caravan only had a hundred people, but there were some goods that needed to be inspected, so it was so slow. After less than an hour, someone finally arrived in front of Hong Yang''s carriage.


    All of the vitality in Hong Yang''s body had already been mobilized. Although he was still covered in scars, this did not affect his movements.


    "The person on top of this carriage, get down."


    Outside the window, there was also a wave of cold snorts. It was obvious that those soldiers were only there to guard their posts. They clearly had deep dissatisfaction with the sudden mission.


    Soon, the doors of the carriage were opened as well. Ye Nanlu walked over with a gloomy face. After that, when he saw Hong Yang, he was stunned.


    The next second, he immediately shouted out in excitement, "Here! "They''re in _."


    "Attack!"


    Hong Yang took advantage of the moment the other party was stunned to immediately rush out! The palm that was covered in vitality, instantly smashed onto Ye Nanlu''s face.


    Most of those Black Armoured Army only had the strength of Origin Returning Stage. After Hong Yang obtained that kind of terrifying speed, it was already no longer a problem.


    Hong Yang did not try to kill him. Otherwise, if he had used Thunder Tremor, he would have been heavily injured even if he had not used his elemental energy to defend himself.


    But this time, it also caused Ye Nanlu''s bones to shatter, and he was sent flying backwards! Although his meridians were not injured, this kind of injury would not recuperate for more than a month.


    Thunder rumbled in the wind!


    His speed instantly increased! Duan Yu had already rushed out ahead of time. Although his speed was not as good as Hong Yang''s, it was still the speed of someone at the ninth stage of the Origin Returning Stage. He grabbed a horse and activated his elemental energy. With the big bow in his hand, no one dared to block him.


    Those Black Armoured Army, even the leader would only be an existence of Origin Returning Stage. Being forced to retreat by Duan Yu''s arrow, he immediately gave the order to retreat.


    In that moment when the seal was broken, Hong Yang had snatched a horse away as well, and ruthlessly channeled his Qi into the horse''s body. All they could do now was run for their lives!


    Although he had rushed through the sealing line, Hong Yang was not happy at all in the bottom of his heart. He knew that the real danger had yet to arrive.


    Ye Nanlu was only using his Earth Origin Stage, so even if there was no sneak attack, he and Duan Yu could still face each other in battle. However, the Ye Family would never allow Ye Nanlu to be so rash.


    Luo Yansheng stood blankly on the spot, as he did not understand what was going on. These few days, he was on the grasslands and he did not know of the order to kill Hong Yang and the others due to Pine Wind County! Right now, he could not understand why Hong Yang would have a conflict with these Black Armoured Army.


    Standing beside him, Chen Yan remained silent for a while. Suddenly, he also galloped his horse! Then, he directly blocked in front of Hong Yang.


    He was also a Earth Origin Stage expert, so Hong Yang and naturally would not ignore him. Seeing Chen Yan blocking his way, he immediately stopped.


    "Brother Chen Yan, you and I have nothing to do with each other. Please let me in. " Although Hong Yang was unwilling, he still did not show much of a face.


    Chen Yan looked at Hong Yang, and could only shake his head lightly, saying: "I''m sorry, even though I don''t know what happened, I didn''t. However, since you''ve appeared so suddenly, you must have stopped them and inquired about it. "


    Hong Yang''s brows twitched, and he immediately said, "Although Taiyi Sect is the most important part of a person''s speech, it still weighs a lot. But in the end, sects and Black Armoured Army guards were two different things. I think, I am not a threat to your Taiyi Sect, why would I need it? "


    Chen Yan also didn''t have the slightest hint of fear. Looking at Hong Yang''s gaze, he said word by word, "Of course. But in the end, you are not one of the Taiyi County, so if you want to cause trouble, you can just turn around and return to Pine Wind County. "


    Just as he finished speaking, Hong Yang''s expression also instantly and fiercely changed! The reason for this change was not because of Chen Yan''s words, but because of the pressure that was faintly discernible in the air.


    That feeling had already faintly locked onto him and Duan Yu! Such a huge Spiritual Sense could definitely not have been made by Ye Nanlu.


    Although he did not know how strong his opponent was! The only thing he knew, was that even if he possessed speed that was comparable to Peak of Returning Origin Stage, it was impossible for him to escape from the opponent''s attack!


    Could it be Ye Tianchen? In a flash, he rejected this idea. As the strongest member of the Ye Family, Ye Tianchen naturally could not leave the Qingcheng County to kill a small fry like him.


    He withdrew his mind, immediately looked at Chen Yan, and coldly said: "Who told you I am from the Pine Wind County?"


    "Hmm?"


    Chen Yan immediately raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. He looked at Hong Yang and knew that he had not finished his words.


    Hong Yang''s eyes had already become as calm as water. He also stared at Chen Yan and slowly said, "I don''t know ¡­ Do you know him, Ma Chengfeng? "

 C91

    "I didn''t know you ¡­ Do you know him, Ma Chengfeng? "


    After Hong Yang said this. Chen Yan''s face also abruptly changed greatly! His face darkened for nearly a minute before he took a deep breath and asked, "You know my master?"


    This time, it was Hong Yang who was surprised. Ma Chengfeng was also in front of him, this was Chen Yan''s master! A strange expression immediately appeared on his face. Then, was Chen Yan and him still brothers?


    Chen Yan was older than him, around twenty-eight to twenty-nine. But Hong Yang had only left the Blue Lotus Institution for less than two years. Before that, he did not know Chen Yan.


    "I wonder if you''ve heard of Chen Yang?" Hong Yang also gradually calmed his mood. He asked. Right now, he could only pray that Ma Chengfeng had mentioned him to Chen Yan before.


    Although he had been expelled from the sect, Ma Chengfeng would definitely still protect Chen Yan! His master was an expert at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage, and even Ye Tianchen, who was within the Qingcheng County, was not a match for him.


    Unexpectedly, Chen Yan pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "I do not know. For the past two years, his master had not been in good spirits. Other than accepting me and another disciple, you don''t need to care about other people''s business anymore and wholeheartedly taught the two of us. "


    After hearing this sentence, Hong Yang became silent for a while. Two years ago, was the day Ma Chengfeng chased Hong Yang out of the sect right after he had stirred up such trouble.


    Although he had injured Hong Yang, and looked like he had crippled his Dantian on the surface. In reality, Hong Yang''s martial arts foundation was still there. At first, Hong Yang was resentful, but later on, he also understood Ma Chengfeng''s painstaking efforts.


    Because of this matter, his master''s personality had changed greatly. He naturally felt terrible in his heart as well.


    "But he did mention it several times. Two years ago, a disciple was expelled by him because of a mistake. That disciple, whether it''s talent or character, is superior to us. " Chen Yan laughed bitterly. When it came to Ma Chengfeng, he was somewhat touched.


    "If my guess is correct, I am the person that your master spoke of." Hong Yang took a deep breath and said slowly. His gaze had already become slightly peculiar.


    "Hugh, you insulted my master!" Chen Yan was startled, his originally indifferent aura instantly turned into killing intent! " Even if they wanted to live, they wouldn''t need to come up with such a clumsy excuse. How can a person like you be comparable to my fellow apprentices? "


    Duan Yu was startled, and quietly listened. The imposing aura became stronger and stronger, but it was still far from here.


    "If you can fight with the strength of the eighth level of the Origin Returning Stage and have the guts, then say these words again." Hong Yang also said in a bland voice, what he wanted was precisely this kind of effect, "Moreover, the cultivation method that you have learnt ¡­ If my guess is correct, it should be the Dust Sword Arts, right? "


    When Chen Yan was fighting with Guan Changyang, Hong Yang also glanced at him a few times. At that time, he only felt that it was familiar, so he didn''t pay much attention to it. Now that he thought about it carefully, he could guess the origin of the sword arts that Chen Yan had used.


    This was one of the sword arts that Ma Chengfeng was proficient in, the Dust Sword Arts! Now that he could tell who Chen Yan was with a glance, in the bottom of Hong Yang''s heart, he was even more certain of Chen Yan''s identity.


    Hearing Hong Yang''s words, Chen Yan''s expression also instantly changed greatly! He was stunned for a moment before finally reacting, "You, you really are my Master''s disciple?"


    Dust Sword Arts was also unique within the Taiyi Sect. Even if there was a second person, that person would definitely not be here! Chen Yan had only learned the basest of the technique, but he felt that the power of the technique was limitless.


    "Whether I am or not, once we enter the Taiyi Sect and meet your Master, won''t we know?"


    Hearing this, Hong Yang could only reply indifferently.


    Chen Yan frowned deeply. After a moment, he suddenly said, "Alright, then come with me to Huaji City and meet my master."


    BOOM!


    Just as he finished his sentence, a loud sound came from the horizon! In this instant, Hong Yang directly jumped down from the horse, and looked at his own horse in astonishment.


    At the same time, Duan Yu had also almost been flipped over! After that, the horses of the two of them let out a wail and started fleeing in all directions! After a while, all of them collapsed to the ground, twitching non-stop.


    The sudden strengthening of the aura had actually reached such a terrifying level! Hong Yang also slightly narrowed his eyes, as a serious expression surfaced on his face.


    This way, he would at least have around the strength of his Earth Origin Stage. With the strength of about Earth Origin Stage and horses that did not have any cultivation, he could naturally rely on his aura to directly suppress his opponent.


    Duan Yu immediately released his vitality, barely able to resist this terrifying pressure. As for Hong Yang, he suddenly trembled as if his entire body was sifting through chaff. Small amounts of Essence appeared on his body, as if there was some kind of mystery behind it.


    This was also a method to remove the pressure he had obtained from Elder Xiaoyao''s memories! Although the pressure appeared to be formless and intangible, it was actually the same as Essence. It was only a type of physical form.


    He was also cleverly using his Essence to defend. Chen Yan was not the center of the pressure, but looking at Hong Yang right now, his expression was also weird.


    Soon, a person walked out from the front. Seeing this person walk out, Ye Nanlu, who was in the distance, suddenly had a face full of joy, and directly shouted: "Uncle Nan Shang, quickly capture this person! And then, let him, have a taste of my pain! "


    At this moment, Hong Yang also understood the name of the person in front of him. Ye Nan Shang and some of Ye Nan Ye''s people seemed to be from the same family.


    He had severed the blood vessels of the Ye Family! Because of this, he would not have any thoughts of letting them off the hook.


    "Clang clang!" Ye Nan Shang turned his back on Ye Nanlu and snorted coldly. Ye Nanlu immediately shut his mouth, and did not dare to say another word.


    After that, he once again looked at Hong Yang, and coldly said: "Come with me now, I won''t kill you. If you keep on being delusional, that''s not necessarily true. "


    "Oh?" Hong Yang raised his eyebrows, he had already finished channeling his vitality, and could summon out the sound of thunder to escape at any time, "I will go with you, what is the condition that you do not kill me?"


    Ye Nan Shang said indifferently: "Abolish your Dantian, and after I break your arm, I will hand you over to the Pill Master''s Luo Family to handle you."


    It seemed that the Ye Family of Qingcheng County had also communicated with the Pill Master''s Luo Family before. One had to admit that the efficiency between these clans was terrifyingly high.


    Hearing this, Hong Yang looked at him coldly, and said: "Then do you think I, have a choice?"

 C92

    "Choice?"


    Ye Nantian smiled as if he was listening to a joke. A moment later, his cold and stern expression returned to his face, "Of course you have no choice. Now, turn around and follow me. If Luo Qingyao is willing to plead on behalf of you in Luo Family, she should still be able to keep her life. "


    Luo Qingyao stood at a distance, still watching everything in astonishment. She did not choose to escape either, because she only had the strength of second rank. No matter what, she couldn''t escape Ye Nantian.


    Not to mention Ye Nan Shang, even the Black Armoured Army that were everywhere could capture her.


    Hearing that, Hong Yang shook his head. He looked at Ye Nantian without backing down at all, "No. I mean no choice is... I can''t choose to go with you. "


    "Is that so?" Ye Nantian''s tone suddenly changed, his killing intent poured out, "Then let me do it, I''ll catch you and bring you back!"


    The aura on his body suddenly erupted! Hong Yang was forced three or four steps back, his face completely pale. Duan Yu was not in a good state either, only by circulating all his Essence did he manage to stop himself from vomiting blood.


    Just by relying on their auras, it was enough to injure them both!


    Ye Nanzhang''s eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Hong Yang in surprise, saying, "A technique that can dispel pressure? This way, you can teach me this technique. Perhaps I can let you keep a cultivation at the seventh stage of the Origin Returning Stage. I''ll protect you in the future, and return to your Ningyang City to be a constable! "


    Hearing this, Hong Yang''s originally somewhat gnashing of teeth expression instantly changed to anger! He was the dignified son of the third master of Hong Castle, a disciple of Taiyi Sect, the disciple that his master Ma Chengfeng admired the most. but it had fallen to the Ningyang City of a lowly constable.


    This was practically the shame of his life!


    "Hmph."


    Seeing Hong Yang''s expression, Ye Nan Shang immediately knew that would not teach him that skill. In any case, as long as they caught him and beat him up, there was no need to fear that he wouldn''t expose his identity!


    Once he made up his mind, he shot out a palm towards the sky! His strength was only a few dozen meters away, and he had practically arrived in an instant!


    "You can''t!"


    Hong Yang''s eyes turned red, he was just about to use Thunder Tremor to block this move! Chen Yan, who was at the side, immediately took the initiative. The longsword was drawn and it danced in the air!


    The Dust Sword Arts floated out and instantly transformed into a sword dance that filled the skies, enveloping both him and Hong Yang within! Essence energy surged as it constantly ground apart the force of Ye Nantian''s attack.


    As for Duan Yu, he took out his bow immediately! The Falling Moon Style was just like Xu Xiong''s fist power, it broke through Ye Nanzheng''s palm wind in an instant!


    However, this time, it was impossible for him to escape unscathed! It was like he had broken Ye Nanzheng''s palm wind attack, but he was still blown dozens of meters away after being hit by the shockwave! As the blood in his body churned, some of the Yuan Power in his body became obstructed.


    If he did it again, even if his body could handle it, his Jing and Mai would become a cripple under the power of this palm!


    Once the sword dance was completed, Chen Yan''s face did not look any better. The set of sword arts just now had nearly exhausted all of the knowledge he had learned throughout his life, consuming more than half of the vitality within his body before being able to withstand it.


    It was fortunate that the Dust Sword Arts was quite miraculous. With just a few twists and turns, and with Ye Nan Shang''s use of less than a tenth of his power, it was barely able to dissipate. Otherwise, under the full force of Ye Nanzhang''s strike, even if thirty Chen Yan and Duan Yu were to be together, they would still have to die here!


    Just a casual wave of his hand caused at least half of the battle power of the three of them to disappear!


    "Someone from the Taiyi Sect?" Ye Nan Shang''s eyes narrowed, this was the first time he had noticed Chen Yan''s existence. He didn''t say much and directly said, "I never thought that the Taiyi Sect and methods would be so strange. Even with the initial rank of the Earth Yuan Mirror, you were actually able to withstand the power of the Earth Origin Stage. "


    Earth Origin Stage!


    Chen Yan was slightly out of breath, and cupped his fists towards the other party: "This matter might be a little mistaken. Hong Yang is someone that my Taiyi Sect wants, if I let him go today, I will definitely repay him in the future. "


    "Let them go, hehe, this saying, it''s better to have Chen Xuan personally come and tell me about it." Ye Nantian just sneered and didn''t take it to heart. His body moved as he prepared for his next move.


    "Impudent!" "I am an elder of the Taiyi Sect, how could you be a powerhouse at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage?" Chen Yan was stunned, but soon after, his tone became unfriendly. However, Ye Nantian ignored it. He rushed forward and threw another palm attack!


    "Scram!"


    His figure moved, and he once again struck out with his palm. At the same time, the pressure also directly exploded towards Chen Yan''s body!


    Chen Yan groaned, and directly retreated a few steps! However, this time, shock also appeared on his face. Because, it was equivalent to exposing Hong Yang in front of Ye Nan Shang.


    He knew clearly that no matter what, Hong Yang would not be able to block a single attack from Ye Nan Shang! The eighth level of Origin Returning Stage against the sixth rank, there was simply no suspense at all.


    The thunder shook the sky!


    Hong Yang''s eyes became serious, and under Chen Yan''s stunned gaze, he actually went forward to face the attack! Facing that terrifying palm wind, he had no fear.


    However, no one noticed that in the palm of his left hand, there was a light red Heaven Pill. This Heaven Pill was equivalent to an attack from a Earth Origin Stage Ranker.


    Boom!


    The two fiercely collided! Following that, lightning filled the sky and even a deep crater was created on the ground.


    "Hong, Hong Yang!"


    Duan Yu also ignored his own injuries and directly ran over. He naturally knew that it was impossible for Ye Nan Shang to kill Hong Yang, but if Hong Yang was severely injured, or if his foundation in the Martial Dao was damaged, it would be impossible for Ye Nan Shang to do so. Then, there would be no suspense anymore.


    Chen Yan''s face became even more pale. Although he still could not believe it at the bottom of his heart, it was true that Hong Yang was the disciple that his master had told him about. Then even if he died, he would not be able to account to Ma Chengfeng!


    Ma Chengfeng was an expert at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage, even if Ye Tianchen were to come, he would only be able to beat his in three moves. He also did not expect that the other party would actually dare to disregard the might of the Taiyi Sect, and directly take action.


    The dust dispersed and the smoke became hazy. The complexions of Chen Yan and Duan Yu were extremely unsightly to behold! However, there was no joy on Ye Nantian''s face.


    He is an expert of Earth Origin Stage, how powerful are Spiritual Sense! But his Spiritual Sense told him that Hong Yang was not that simple.


    In next to no time, he noticed that something wasn''t right. He raised his head and saw that a figure had jumped a few meters above his head.


    The thunder shook the sky!

 C93

    Ye Nan Shang looked at the person in the air. A moment later, the person in the air finally lowered his aura. He was finally able to breathe and sat on the ground.


    When the distant Ye Nanlu saw this scene, his entire person became terrified. He couldn''t even defend against Earth Origin Stage, but who would have thought that he would encounter such a strong practitioner in his entire life.


    Even Ye Tianchen could not suppress Ye Nan Shang to the point that he could not use just his aura!


    "Let''s go." The person in the air looked at Chen Yan, and the latter shuddered, and immediately ran towards Hong Yang''s direction.


    "Wait." Just as that person was about to turn around and leave, a person suddenly stepped out from within the Black Armoured Army team. Looking at the rough outline, he actually had at least the strength of second rank and above.


    Naturally, the person who stood out was the leader of the Black Armoured Army garrison. He cupped his fists in the air and said: "May I know who you are? If you don''t sign up, it''ll be hard for me to explain it to the higher-ups. "


    In his base, such a big thing had happened. Naturally, he had to report it to the higher-ups. However, if he did not even know where the culprit came from, then his official hat would be ruined as well.


    "If you want to know my identity, come find me at Blue Lotus Institution." He lightly left the next sentence. Soon after, Chen Yan also ran over, barely lifting him up on his horse.


    Luo Qingyao, Hong Yang, Chen Yan, Duan Yu. The four of them, three horses and three men, also headed towards the direction of Huajia City. With the protection of the man in the sky, naturally no one would dare to stop him.


    "Sir, how many cultivation s are there?" Ye Nantian looked at the sky and asked. A fierce expression emerged on his face.


    This failure of his was too unyielding. He had no ability to resist at all! Now, he only wanted to know the strength of the person who defeated him.


    The man in the sky smiled and said calmly, "You don''t need to know. You only need to know that this is a height you will never be able to reach in your entire life."


    It was a height that he would never be able to reach in his entire life ¡­


    That had destroyed all hope for Ye Nantian! Then his eyes withered and he said nothing.


    The person in the sky chuckled and left.


    Seven days later.


    Hua Chi City, no more than 3 km outside the city, within a courtyard.


    The yard was facing south, green everywhere. It was obvious that it had been taken care of extremely well. In fact, even in this courtyard, the spiritual energy was slightly denser.


    This was obviously due to the large amount of spirit medicine in the courtyard. Naturally, the growth of spiritual medicines required a large amount of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Taking a deep breath here was no different from training.


    There were at least a dozen figures coming and going in the yard. cultivation s were only at the seventh or eighth level of Origin Returning Stage, and there were even Earth Origin Stage s among the higher levels.


    When Hong Yang woke up again, seven days had already passed, which was today. He sat on the bed and slowly woke up.


    All the injuries in his body had been healed. The circulation of his elemental energy was as usual. In fact, it was even more refined than before.


    He gently waved his fist a few times, creating a sonic boom. A moment later, Hong Yang retracted his fist and said indifferently, "Is he already at the ninth stage of the Origin Returning Stage ¡­"


    When he woke up, he had already recovered his cultivation, and even broke through the ninth level of Origin Returning Stage in one go! This kind of feeling also made Hong Yang feel extremely comfortable.


    "I don''t know. What will my Three Styles of Wind and Thunder become? "


    Hong Yang didn''t rush to get off the bed, but sat cross-legged on the bed, pretending to be training. His mind slowly sank into his inner world.


    In his own inner world, the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder had evolved seven or eight times! Soon after, Hong Yang was stunned to realize that his speed had once again increased by a huge amount.


    Even though it wasn''t enough to compare to a Earth Origin Stage expert, it was at the very least able to steadily surpass the speed of Peak of Returning Origin Stage! He was not far from reaching the Earth Origin Stage ¡­


    This increase in strength had greatly exceeded his expectations. After that, he evolved his Thunder Tremor twice, wanting to continue fusing with the sound of wind and thunder. However, it still ended in failure.


    Xiao Yan slowly shook his head. He had also given up on the thought of continuing his experiment. Even he was unable to fuse with this kind of comprehension of the martial way which was comparable to a Sky Origin Stage expert. If this continued, it would be of little use.


    However, the first two moves could be fused! Naturally, the third move also had its own fusion method! However, with his level of martial arts comprehension, he was unable to deduce anything. Therefore, there were not many people in this world who could deduce anything.


    With the experience of the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao. Hong Yang''s experience with the martial way, was even worse than his master Ma Chengfeng''s. After all, the profound beasts of the two before death were far above the level of their Heaven Origin.


    Slowly, he exited his cultivation state. Hong Yang also directly got off the bed and walked into the courtyard. After taking in a deep breath of air, he suddenly felt moved from the bottom of his heart.


    The last time he came to this place, it must have been at least two years ago ¡­


    Even after two years, this place was still familiar. Blue Lotus Institution, himself followed Master Ma Chengfeng, a place of cultivation.


    Nothing had changed. However, the scenery didn''t change. However, it was unknown whether or not people had changed.


    His heart trembled, then Hong Yang also walked in. After hesitating for a moment, he also headed straight for the room that Ma Chengfeng cultivated in his memories.


    Even though he knew that at this time, it was best not to disturb him. However, he had just woken up, so he was very anxious. Naturally, he couldn''t care less anymore.


    He turned a corner and stopped in front of a house. The house was completely unremarkable, and was in stark contrast to the jade green tiles that surrounded it.


    After hesitating for a moment, he decided to enter as well! On the contrary, a voice suddenly rang out behind him, "Brother Chen Yang?"


    Chen Yang was naturally Hong Yang''s name while he was still at Taiyi Sect. His heart trembled. It had been a long time since anyone had called him that.


    Ma Chengfeng had a total of seven disciples, and he was ranked sixth. Including Chen Yan and the other two disciples, that would count as nine disciples.


    The nine disciples of the cultivation were all different, and Hong Yang was the disciple that Ma Chengfeng valued the most. Regardless of personality or talent, they were both top choices.


    This was also the reason why Ma Chengfeng''s temperament had greatly changed after he personally chased Hong Yang out of the Taiyi Sect.


    He quickly recognized the person who was calling him from behind! Chen Ying, like Hong Yang, was also a cultivation of the ninth stage of the Origin Returning Stage. Amongst Ma Chengfeng''s disciples, he was ranked fourth.

 C94

    "Brother Chen Yang, you''re awake?"


    Seeing Hong Yang, Chen Ying was also pleasantly surprised. But he also knew that Hong Yang had been expelled out of the sect. He immediately no longer called her "Junior Brother Chen Yang" and instead addressed her as "Brother Chen Yang".


    Chen Ying was just a year older than Hong Yang, yet his cultivation was the same as Hong Yang. Furthermore, Hong Yang was confident that with the improved Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, even if he could not win against Chen Zhen, he would definitely be able to get away with it.


    After all, the technique that Chen Ying trained in was not some heaven defying item, nor was it as profound as the Dust Sword Arts. It was just an ordinary grade three cultivation technique. and the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder that had not been modified by Hong Yang were of the same level.


    However, Hong Yang''s Three Styles of Wind and Thunder was now comparable to a second grade Spirit Qi technique! In addition to his rich combat experience, it was a piece of cake for him.


    Hong Yang faintly replied. He seemed to be extremely unaccustomed to the way Chen Yang was addressed. The title that had been used for so many years suddenly became unfamiliar.


    After greeting each other, the two of them also entered the room. Very quickly, faint fluctuations of Essence Qi appeared. It was obvious that he was training.


    After Chen Ying left the dishes and other things in the room outside, he left. It was noon now, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky.


    Hong Yang was also silent for a moment, then stood at the outer room and did not go in. He knew that with Ma Chengfeng''s powerful Spiritual Sense perception, she could definitely sense his existence.


    "Come in."


    After waiting outside for a while. A faint voice suddenly came from inside. Hong Yang was startled, then immediately revealed a surprised expression, and was about to walk in.


    After hesitating for a while, he walked straight to the door of the inner room. He should have been very familiar with the route, but now he pushed the door open and entered as if there was a thousand kilograms of obstruction.


    After calming himself down, he pushed open the door and entered.


    Boom!


    In Hong Yang''s ears, there was a sudden burst of noise! Almost subconsciously, lightning appeared on his body and he quickly retreated.


    Thunder rumbled in the wind!


    The moment he pushed the door open and entered, he felt that it wasn''t his own master Ma Chengfeng in front of him, but a strange, real barrier!


    How, how is this possible!


    Surprised, Hong Yang immediately reacted. He used wind to create thunder and lightning to retreat for a few dozen meters. Suddenly, he felt something above his head sink! He raised his head and a strange feeling that was almost real spread from the top of his head.


    That feeling was extremely weird, even his own Spiritual Sense could not enter to check it out! However, Hong Yang could only feel that it was a material object, he immediately gritted his teeth and welcomed it.


    The thunder shook the sky!


    Because he did not know what it was, even though there were no signs of energy fluctuations, Hong Yang still could not see through it. He didn''t dare to be careless. He revolved the Essence in his body to the limit and directly sent out a heaven-shaking thunderbolt!


    Bang!


    When the two clashed, Hong Yang only felt that his attack was like a stone that sank into the ocean, he basically did not have any reaction! Amidst his shock, he also continued to retreat.


    But once he retreated, Hong Yang immediately realized that he could not move his hands or feet! The Essence Qi was suddenly stimulated outside of his body and was released in a chaotic manner.


    Along with the release of his Essence ¡­ The surrounding scene had also gradually turned from blurry to clear. Under Hong Yang''s stunned gaze, it gradually turned into a normal room. Behind him, a man about fifty years old was looking at him with a smile.


    That person was naturally Hong Yang''s master, Ma Chengfeng.


    Hong Yang thought for a bit and finally understood what had just happened. He cried out involuntarily, "Spatial barrier! Master, master, you have already stepped into the Sky Origin Stage? "


    That strange thing just now, was the space that Ma Chengfeng controlled! Only after one broke through to the Sky Origin Stage would one be able to grasp a certain degree of spatial power, which was incomparably powerful. Those who were truly strong in Sky Origin Stage could fly, naturally, could only fly by relying on the power of space.


    Given that the Edicts of Space were able to shrink the ground to an inch and even forcefully lock down a part of the space, it naturally was incomparably powerful. To be able to become a domain of his own after Sky Origin Stage. Within the domain space, he could freely control.


    For example, the two from the Sky Dragon Dagger, Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao, were most likely terrifying existences with Sky Origin Stage s above! Only at that point could he get familiar with the rules of space and imprint people into a small dagger.


    Perhaps the inside of the dagger was also its own dimension. It was just that Hong Yang did not want to know about the space inside the dagger for the rest of his life.


    "Not yet. It''s only been two years, how could his Sky Origin Stage be so easy to step into?" Ma Chengfeng shook his head, his tone was not calm, but instead carried a deep surprise. "It''s only half-step Heaven Origin. There is still a certain distance from the true Sky Origin Stage. "


    What surprised him was naturally, how did Hong Yang know where the spatial barrier was? Generally speaking, these things would only be understood after the person had reached the eighth rank and made initial contact with the ability to fly. However, he did not expect Hong Yang to also know about this item.


    In the bottom of Hong Yang''s heart, he was even more shocked! Sky Origin Stage, what kind of insignificant existence in the distance was this? There was actually a half-step Heaven Origin in front of him right now, and moreover, it was his own master.


    However, it was only half a step into the Sky Origin Stage. Such a rough space barrier couldn''t even block a Primeval Mirror that could even shake the sky. However, such a miraculous effect was enough.


    "Master ¡­" He came back to his senses. Hong Yang was suddenly filled with mixed feelings. It had been two years since he came back, but nothing had changed.


    Ma Chengfeng didn''t seem to age at all. It was full of spirit and vigor, and seemed to be slightly different from what Chen Yan said.


    "Show me your ''Thunder of the Wind'' and ''Lightning of the Wind''." Ma Chengfeng was not happy, and said indifferently. Hong Yang was startled for a moment, but immediately replied honestly: "Yes."


    Hong Yang immediately gathered his mind, refined his vital energy, and directly used the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder! Immediately, the sound of thunder rumbled, as though there was an endless amount of pressure.


    Hong Yang was right there, using the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder with all his might! And Ma Chengfeng''s face, had already become deeply astonished.


    Furthermore, as Hong Yang continued to display the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, the surprise in his eyes grew deeper and deeper! That kind of sound of wind and thunder might not affect him, but Ma Chengfeng could still hear it.

 C95

    The more Hong Yang unleashed the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, the more pensive a expression appeared on his face, as if he was pondering over something.


    A moment later, he slowly shook his head. The gaze he used to look at Hong Yang, also gradually recovered its calmness.


    Hong Yang stood there, slowly recovering his vitality after completing the set of Three Styles of Wind and Thunder. Of course, he didn''t use the Thunder Tremor skill.


    This was just an ordinary house. If he were to send out a palm attack with the Lightning Shaking Heaven, this house would have instantly collapsed.


    As he slowly adjusted his Yuan Power, his body began to sway in a rhythmic manner. It was quite a comical sight. However, Ma Chengfeng did not laugh. Instead, he looked at the disciple in front of him with some astonishment.


    Because he now realized in shock that even though Hong Yang''s cultivation had only improved by a short two steps, they had not met each other in the past two years. However, his real combat strength had increased by more than a fold.


    Even the speed at which the Yuan Qi was being absorbed was several times faster than a normal person at the ninth stage of the Returning Origin Stage!


    Hong Yang only finished adjusting his breathing and waited for the vitality in his body to return to normal before stopping his hands. Then, he opened his eyes and looked at Ma Chengfeng.


    He was also very clear that with Ma Chengfeng''s strength, he would definitely be able to see the changes in the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder! This Three Styles of Wind and Thunder was personally taught to him by Ma Chengfeng, and right now, he wanted to see what kind of reaction he would have next ¡­


    Unexpectedly, Ma Chengfeng just stood there and looked at him indifferently. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "You changed this Three Styles of Wind and Thunder yourself?"


    Hong Yang didn''t say a word, and only nodded lightly. At this moment, he realized that he couldn''t find the tacit understanding he had from before.


    After he nodded his head, Ma Chengfeng was not as surprised as he had expected. Instead, he replied faintly, "Understood. You can go down first. "


    Hong Yang was startled, and immediately became stunned. He had originally thought that after two years, the other party would at least have a long discussion with him. No matter how weak he was, he would still be surprised by his thunderous voice! But on the contrary, Ma Chengfeng did not express anything.


    Even though he was surprised, he silently left without saying anything.


    After Hong Yang left the room, he suddenly took a deep breath. After which, he waved his hand and a figure suddenly appeared from a small door behind him.


    "How did he do it?" That figure came out and said in a deep voice. There was also a trace of surprise in his tone.


    "I don''t know, and I don''t want to know." Ma Chengfeng paused, and then said word by word: "But he did it. "This is the truth."


    That person went silent for a moment, and then said: "But, isn''t that something only Sky Origin Stage experts can do? Is it possible for a person with Returning Origin Stage to have comprehended the martial way of the Sky Origin Stage? "


    "It''s his business. I don''t know what has happened to him in the past two years. " After pondering for a moment, Ma Chengfeng could only reply, "No matter what, this matter is of no benefit to him.


    After all, not everyone had the same heaven-defying luck as the bizarre things that happened on the Sky Dragon Dagger.


    "So what are you going to do next?" There was a hint of a smile on the man''s face. He clearly understood the reason why Ma Chengfeng chased Hong Yang out of his sect back then! Now that Hong Yang had returned, he naturally would not do the same thing twice.


    Moreover, now that Ma Chengfeng had also entered half-step into the Heaven Origin, there was even hope for him entering the Sky Origin Stage in his remaining years! His position within the Taiyi Sect naturally could not be compared to the past.


    "If those heaven defying things like adapting the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder were really done by him. Then I will not interfere with his martial arts career in this life of his at all. " Ma Chengfeng said: "But in the end, I am still his master. At least leave something for him, I still need it. "


    "You plan to pass the Dust Sword Arts to him?" The person behind him immediately spoke up in surprise, "Other than you, Chen Yan and I are the only one who has learned this thing. Is he going to become the fourth person as well? "


    had obtained the Dust Sword Arts from an adventure more than ten years ago. Besides him, there was only a fourth person who could learn this technique between Chen Yan and the person in front of him.


    Ma Chengfeng slightly nodded his head, and did not say a word. He realized that he could not see through this disciple in front of him! At least with his half-step Heaven Origin, he couldn''t see through it.


    In the yard.


    After Hong Yang slowly retreated out of the courtyard, he began to stroll back and forth.


    The paths within the Blue Lotus Institution extended in all directions. After he slowly walked for a while, he also decided to first take a look at Duan Yu and Luo Qingyao.


    He had returned for seven days. He didn''t know what had happened to the two of them.


    The strength of their Taiyi County was ten thousand times stronger than their Pine Wind County, it was absolutely impossible for them to lead people to chase to this place. And even if they were to be pursued here, his master alone would be enough to make all of them retreat.


    As he travelled through the small paths, he bumped into a few of his previous seniors. They all knew that Hong Yang had returned, and weren''t too surprised when they saw him.


    After he asked about Duan Yu''s residence, he immediately pushed open the door and entered. After entering, he felt an extremely powerful fluctuation of Yuan Power.


    Cultivating here was several times faster than cultivating outside. Furthermore, with Hong Yang''s unique skills in cultivation, he could even achieve seven to eight times more results.


    If he were to cultivate here, he only needed a maximum of three months before Hong Yang was confident that he would be able to step into the Peak of Returning Origin Stage!


    Originally, there was still a difference of one stage between the two. But now, the difference between the two was extremely close.


    Hong Yang directly went into the inner sect and with a light voice, he did not disturb Duan Yu. Duan Yu was also in the midst of cultivation, her vitality was in flux, but he had actually directly sunk into it, and did not sense any change in the outside world at all!


    He was slightly surprised for a moment. Because he realized that Duan Yu''s current realm was extremely different.


    At this moment, Duan Yu had already entered the state of Perfection! However, because his other two realms had yet to reach their peak, he was unable to advance.


    His eyes were filled with shock! One must know that after stepping into the Peak of Returning Origin Stage, it was extremely difficult to reach the state of Perception because of the restrictions imposed by the laws of the world! This was also the reason why countless people were stuck at Peak of Returning Origin Stage their entire lives.


    He naturally did not have to worry about this, other than maybe having a little difficulty during the period after he advanced into the Sky Origin Stage. With this, all he had to do was consider how to obtain the elemental energy and body tempering needed to make a breakthrough.

 C96

    Watching on from the side, Hong Yang didn''t say much. Although it was not a time to level up, but to enter into a state that was suitable for him was also extremely beneficial for Duan Yu.


    The heaven and earth origin energy was madly gushing towards him! Only after an hour did the speed slow down.


    In this half an hour, Hong Yang had been watching by the side. Duan Yu''s aura continued to rise, and his cultivation level of the ninth step had impressively stabilized, so much so that he was starting to charge towards the middle of the ninth step.


    Although he was secretly shocked, Duan Yu''s talent was definitely not inferior to any other disciple Ma Chengfeng took in. Even if the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth here was so dense, to make another breakthrough in just a few months, even Hong Yang himself did not have that much of a chance.


    Of course, the truth was that Hong Yang had directly risen from the seventh stage of the Returning Origin Stage to the ninth stage of the Returning Origin Stage within two months! This speed was enough to stun everyone.


    Duan Yu''s breathing, from being inaudible, had also gradually become normal. He fell into the state of Perception for a full two hours. Now, he was about to withdraw from that marvelous realm.


    Seeing that, Hong Yang immediately muttered: "Pills and Qi into one, protect your heart!"


    After hearing Hong Yang''s words, Duan Yu''s entire body fiercely trembled for a moment! The aura that was originally about to return to normal even seemed to have a bit more of the intention of advancing.


    However, all of this happened in an instant. After a while, Duan Yu slowly opened his eyes and exited the room.


    Hong Yang did not try to force anything either. That one strike just now was enough for Duan Yu to completely stabilize his cultivation at the middle of the ninth step! The benefit to Duan Yu from that momentary increase was already great enough.


    Duan Yu slowly awakened, and as he saw Hong Yang coming over, he instantly exclaimed in joy, "You''re awake?"


    "Yes." Hong Yang looked at Duan Yu, cupped his hands, and said: "Congratulations, your strength has increased by another step."


    Duan Yu laughed bitterly, then said helplessly: "How can it be compared to Brother Hong Yang''s improvement. Brother Hong Yang, you- "


    At this time, he also realized with shock that Hong Yang had already advanced into the ninth stage of the Returning Origin Stage! With a bitter laugh, he did not expect that Hong Yang would catch up to him so quickly even though he had just taken the lead.


    Now that Hong Yang had the strange sound of wind and thunder from the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, it was already difficult for his to defeat him. Perhaps the words of no opponent at the same level could really be used on Hong Yang.


    "No wonder you are participating in the Taiyi Sect selection in the master selection." Duan Yu was shocked for a moment, and said slowly: "I was originally worried that your injuries would leave behind hidden ailments. "But now it seems ¡­"


    Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Hong Yang, "What did you say, Master?"


    His heart was once again shocked. He never thought that Ma Chengfeng would actually also take Duan Yu as his disciple. But after thinking about it, it was the same. Duan Yu was only a year older than him. but he already had the strength of the ninth stage of the Returning Origin Stage. This level of talent was enough for Ma Chengfeng to take a liking to.


    Duan Yu quickly explained before he regained his senses. Frowning, he continued to ask, "What about the selection?"


    "It''s like this." Seeing that Hong Yang''s expression did not seem like he was pretending, Duan Yu naturally understood that Ma Chengfeng had not told him about this matter. He immediately said, "Every three years, there will be a competition like this. They were all people from different cities that were sent out to compete. Only those who have reached the qualifications will be able to enter the Taiyi Sect Sect. "


    His heart skipped a beat. Naturally, he knew of this competition! In the last selection, Hong Yang still possessed the strength of the seventh stage of the Returning Origin Stage three years ago. At that time, it was Ma Chengfeng''s second disciple who went over.


    In the end, it ended in failure. There was also a age limit for this competition. It was under twenty-five years old. After all, on the martial path, those under the age of twenty-five had the greatest potential.


    Every single city within the Taiyi County had to naturally have a city as their main city to prevent any sand from scattering to the ground. Just like the Pill Master''s Luo Family, the Pill Master''s Luo Family also had many branch families. However, overall, Pill Master''s Luo Family was still the leader.


    Seeing that Hong Yang did not say anything, Duan Yu continued, "This competition is naturally extremely important, and not only shows off some people''s strength. and it''s even going to be a contest between the rankings of the major cities. "


    Hong Yang naturally knew of these things as well! However, deep in his heart, he started to ponder.


    Based on his own master Ma Chengfeng''s character, he should not care about this false reputation at all. Every city''s Taiyi County Branch could send three people there. And in the match three years ago, he had also randomly sent one out. Moreover, he had been defeated in the first round, and that was all.


    And this year, he was actually taking it so seriously. Thinking about it, Hong Yang could not help but ask: "In this competition, other than you and me, who else could it be?"


    "WeiSheng, cultivation at the ninth level of the Returning Origin Stage, at your age." Duan Yu glanced at Hong Yang and said slowly.


    A thought struck him. Since it was Yi Wei, then it must be a woman. This woman, Hong Yang, was also not very familiar with his. He was the last disciple Ma Chengfeng had accepted two years ago, and he had only met his a few times.


    In this battle, Ma Chengfeng had actually organized a total of three people. This also made Hong Yang feel that it was inconceivable. However, Ma Chengfeng was naturally not someone who did not seek for the sake of his reputation. Presumably, he also had his own reasons.


    These three people all didn''t have the strength of Earth Origin Stage. Then, other than a few evildoers, there were probably very few people who managed to reach the Earth Origin Stage before the age of twenty-five. With''s battle power that was seemingly invincible under the Returning Origin Stage, it naturally wouldn''t be difficult.


    "I see." Hong Yang nodded slightly. In his heart, he was also suddenly interested in this WeiSheng. Someone with such talent was definitely not a simple person.


    Two years ago, among Ma Chengfeng''s disciples, only the first and third place had advanced into the Earth Origin Stage, and they were both outside of the twenty-five years old. And now, it seems that he and this person named WeiSheng also had hope of advancing into the Earth Origin Stage by the age of twenty-five.


    To advance into the Earth Origin Stage before the age of twenty-five, was vastly different from advancing after the age of twenty-five! Twenty-five was a huge watershed. Because this, would affect the huge gap which would lead to the advancement of Sky Origin Stage in the future.


    From the memories of both the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao, Hong Yang had never heard of anyone who advanced into the Earth Origin Stage after the age of twenty-five. In this life, he had the strength to attack Sky Origin Stage.

 C97

    Hong Yang and this woman called WeiSheng naturally had a huge hope! And Duan Yu, wasn''t completely impossible either...


    He now knew a little more about the so-called selection process. The time limit was one month, and the location was in the capital city of Taiyi County.


    He calculated that one month''s time should be enough to completely stabilize his cultivation base. Even with his abilities, it was not impossible for him to advance any further.


    Duan Yu also stopped cultivating and strolled around the city with Hong Yang. In the past two years, Huajia City had undergone some changes as well.


    With a large amount of funds at hand, Hong Yang naturally did not have to worry about these problems. After purchasing some items needed for his cultivation, he naturally began to wander aimlessly within the city.


    After arriving at the Blue Lotus Institution for seven days, Duan Yu had not taken a single step out of the courtyard. Huaji City was one of the top cities in Taiyi County and its scale could even be compared to that of the capital city of Pine Wind County.


    Right now, Hong Yang was already wanted by both the Qingcheng County and the Pine Wind County. However, even if it was a wanted poster, it wouldn''t be able to spread to here. Furthermore, with Ma Chengfeng here, even if it was someone from the City Lord''s Mansion, they would not dare to move recklessly.


    Therefore, since Hong Yang and Yue Shan were here, they did not need to worry about anything. After a while, his gaze stopped at a brothel ¡­


    He also remembered that Guan Changyang who was on the plain seemed to have been dragged by this "Brothel Gang" as well. He only paused for a moment before walking away with a look of disgust on his face.


    He did not know where that Luo Yansheng had gone to, nor did he know. Originally, Hong Yang didn''t know, but from what Guan Changyang said, this power seemed to be exceptionally terrifying.


    In almost every city, there were a few women who were kidnapped by this faction. However, with Hong Yang''s current strength, he was simply powerless.


    "Hmph, if you don''t have any money, then just say so. Why are you pretending to be so noble?"


    Not long after he walked out, Hong Yang heard a woman''s disgusted voice coming from behind him. He could only smile wryly. Naturally, he did not care about this kind of boring sarcasm.


    However, after he had turned around and walked a few steps, he suddenly heard a burst of cold laughter as well. I never thought that he would be a pauper coming to Taiyi County. "


    Hearing these words, Hong Yang''s expression instantly turned cold! Because he suddenly realized that he actually knew the person who spoke.


    Guan Changyang!


    That Guan Changyang, had actually not been dealt with! He was currently at the entrance of the brothel, and looked at Hong Yang with a cold smile.


    Duan Yu naturally also heard this and immediately turned his head back. Guan Changyang looked like he needed a beating, as he looked at them with ridicule.


    Inside Hong Yang''s bag, there were still several thousands of gold coins! However, he obviously wouldn''t do something like throwing money in his face.


    "What, City Lord''s Mansion didn''t punish you?" Duan Yu turned around and also lightly said: "Or, on the prairie, haven''t you had enough of a beating?"


    When they were staying the night, they naturally did not know what Guan Changyang did. Otherwise, even if Hong Yang stayed in the plains by himself, he would definitely not be with such a person.


    Guan Changyang''s expression also changed. When Hong Yang was at the border, he directly struck his Earth Origin Stage! If it was him, he wouldn''t be able to accomplish such a terrifying feat either.


    However, his face darkened as he still remained stubborn, "So what? Don''t tell me you dare to make a move here? Even City Lord''s Mansion would not dare to do anything to me. "


    "You!" Duan Yu''s mouth twitched, immediately becoming angry. However, Hong Yang pulled him back, and said slowly: "Forget it, there''s no need to bother with trash like this."


    Within his words, he too, did not conceal the loathing he had for Guan Changyang! Then, he pulled Duan Yu and walked towards the back without looking back.


    "The girl from that day seems to be pretty good as well. It''s a pity to be stained on your hands. it might as well be placed inside my Brothel Gang. " Guan Changyang watched as Hong Yang left, even though he did not dare to chase after Hong Yang and scold him. However, his mouth was still not clean.


    "What did you say?"


    Hong Yang''s eyes instantly turned cold! As Guan Changyang''s words pointed out, he naturally knew who it was.


    "What''s wrong, there are so many people here, you ¡­"


    Swish!


    Hong Yang immediately erupted with vitality as a faint flash of lightning could be seen. In the next second, he was right in front of Guan Changyang. He threw out a palm attack.


    Bang!


    The strength behind his palm was not great, but Guan Changyang still retreated a few steps in a hurry, the top of his right shoulder was charred black. He was shocked, "Your, your speed!"


    Even though he was a Earth Origin Stage Ranker, he could not react in time to Hong Yang''s strike just now! The pain on his shoulder told him that everything before him was real.


    Hong Yang''s current speed, was already infinitely close to the speed of a Earth Origin Stage Ranker! That strike from before actually did not manage to react to it.


    In that moment, Guan Changyang suddenly understood. In these few short days when Hong Yang had been injured, not only did the cultivation not retreat, it even improved!


    "You can scold me, but don''t involve others." Hong Yang looked at him coldly, then turned and left. He didn''t want to waste any more words on Guan Changyang.


    Duan Yu also opened his eyes wide at the side. He never thought that Hong Yang''s current speed would actually be terrifying to such an extent! When he thought back to his battle with Hong Yang at Yuannan City, he couldn''t help but feel a sense of lingering fear.


    In just a short span of two months, Hong Yang had gone from having to struggle against a Returning Origin Stage level 8 to having the ability to ambush a Earth Origin Stage level warrior on his own.


    After Hong Yang finished this sentence, he also directly walked away without turning his head back. He naturally did not want to get entangled with this group of people, he only wanted to return to the Blue Lotus Institution, cultivate properly, and prepare for the selection one month later.


    "Halt!"


    After walking a few steps, Hong Yang also suddenly felt a strong gust of wind from behind him!


    Thunder rumbled in the wind!


    His figure exploded in a flash, appearing a few meters away! As for the ground that he was originally standing on, it was directly hit by the Essence and even the floor broke from the impact.


    "It has become advanced again? I really want to know just how strong you are. " Guan Changyang, who was standing behind him, had a ferocious expression. He did not hold back at all in that strike.


    In front of so many people, he was successfully ambushed by someone from the Returning Origin Stage! This also caused him to feel extremely ashamed, and a burst of embarrassment appeared on his face.


    If he did not defeat Hong Yang now, this seed of shame would sprout from the bottom of his heart. When he broke through to the Perception Realm in the Martial Way, he would become a demon in his heart. If he was unlucky, it would be difficult for him to advance any further in his life!

 C98

    After directly dodging, Hong Yang stood not too far away. His eyes were also full of killing intent.


    Although he didn''t want to kill anyone, he was definitely not a soft persimmon! Not to mention, the other side was the first to make a move.


    "Who said just now that not a single person should make a move against so many people here?" Hong Yang raised his chin, coldly looked at him, and mocked.


    Guan Changyang was startled, gritted his teeth and argued: "Then what did you just do? This is my territory, so I can do whatever I want! "


    Even though he had seen Hong Yang face to face with the terrifying existence of Earth Origin Stage before. However, he still could not believe that Hong Yang truly had that capability.


    After all, the difference between the two was not one or two levels, but an entire Realm!


    The surrounding people, who were originally spectating, immediately withdrew from a large area when they saw this scene. The power of a Earth Origin Stage Ranker was definitely not something they could match against.


    Seeing that, Duan Yu also took out a sword! He did not expect such a situation to occur. He did not bring a big bow with him, but only a long sword.


    However, even if it was a long sword, it still had a certain level of attack power! In the Star and Moon Scripture, there was naturally a sword arts technique as well.


    However, just as he pulled it out, Hong Yang shook his head at him and said softly: "No need, I will come alone."


    Stunned, Duan Yu immediately understood! Hong Yang, he actually planned to go against a Earth Origin Stage Ranker alone!


    He also quietly withdrew a little distance. However, he could not help but feel worried in his heart. Although Hong Yang''s battle power was far more than half of the experts of the same level! However, if one were to truly cross realms to fight, then one simply didn''t have much confidence.


    At first, it was within the Qingcheng County, but when it was facing Ye Nanlu at the city gate, there was the help of the Heaven Pill! And behind him, there was a strong practitioner like Luo Dongting.


    Afterwards, within the borders, Xu Xiong himself was considered not too strong amongst the Earth Origin Stage experts. Even so, it was only because she had underestimated her opponent, that she had been able to succeed after Duan Yu''s sneak attack, that she had been able to fight against Hong Yang afterwards.


    But now, Hong Yang actually wanted to fight a real Earth Origin Stage Ranker alone! In merely a month''s time, his strength had already increased to such a terrifying degree.


    Even so, Duan Yu did not stop them! Instead, he moved to the side and held the longsword in his hand. If Hong Yang had showed any signs of defeat when facing Guan Changyang, he would definitely not hesitate and rush forward to support his.


    Guan Changyang laughed sinisterly, upon seeing this scene, he immediately said: "You are very confident, to actually dare to use your Returning Origin Stage''s strength to directly take on a Earth Origin Stage''s expert."


    Hong Yang frowned as he looked at him, as if he was unwilling to waste even a single sentence on him. After Guan Changyang finished speaking, his figure also moved once again.


    What he was proud of was naturally speed! Since he was adept at speed, he naturally had to strike first and not stand there without taking a hit!


    Guan Changyang was startled, he did not seem to expect that Hong Yang would actually dare to strike first! He was stunned for just a moment, and then he immediately turned around and explosively retreated!


    With a slight thought in his heart, he also sent a punch directly towards the top right! His fist was covered in spiritual qi. He was actually using a martial art!


    Unicorn Arm Fist!


    On Guan Changyang''s right arm, veins instantly bulged, and directly expanded his clothes by several degrees! His fist carried the faint sound of breaking air as it flew towards the right.


    The thunder shook the sky!


    Bang!


    As the lightning lingered around him, Hong Yang also directly used his strongest attack!


    As the two forces collided, Guan Changyang also retreated a few steps back, barely stabilizing his body in the end. His heart was already stained with blood.


    That move was already the strongest fist technique he had learned. It was enough for people of the same level to not dare to go head to head against it! However, Hong Yang actually dared to directly clash with his Rare Arms Fist.


    In the bottom of Hong Yang''s heart, he let out a bitter laugh. Although his speed was already comparable to some Earth Origin Stage experts that were slightly slower, However, in terms of strength, it was still far from enough.


    Right now, half of his arm was numb. Ye Zichen shook his hand. Luckily, this didn''t affect anything.


    Taking a few steps back, Guan Changyang suddenly shouted out and directly dissolved the force by force. Finally, he took a step forward and once again sent a fist rumbling forward.


    Duan Yu raised his eyebrows, this Guan Changyang seemed to also specialize in fist arts. However, compared to Xu Xiong, one was focused on strength, while the other was even better.


    Xu Xiong''s fist strength directly blocked off all paths of retreat; there was no way to dodge! However, if the flaw was found, it would be extremely easy to break through.


    However, Guan Changyang''s punches, which were mediocre, became even harder to defend against. After all, Hong Yang was simply unable to defeat a Earth Origin Stage Ranker in a head-on clash.


    Boom!


    With the sound of something tearing through the air, Hong Yang laughed coldly, and then rushed to the side. At the same time, his figure appeared.


    Thunderstorm rolled out!


    The power of wind and thunder surged, breaking through a large portion of the fist force in an instant! However, a small part of the force still struck his chest, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.


    Although he spat out a mouthful of blood, his speed did not decrease at all! The speed at which he used his cultivation method to increase was enough for him to directly arrive in front of Guan Changyang and fiercely slap down with a palm.


    Puff.


    Guan Changyang slapped his shoulder without any resistance at all! Immediately, a pitch-black handprint imprinted itself onto his body.


    His entire left shoulder was instantly paralyzed! Guan Changyang''s face twitched and he roared, his right hand subconsciously pushing hard, forcing Hong Yang away.


    This method of fighting was completely the same as killing one thousand enemies and damaging yourself eight hundred times! However, he had to admit that this method was at least effective.


    Light surged in Duan Yu''s eyes, and he also directly took a step forward! The light on the surface of the longsword was incomparably sharp.


    Hong Yang''s body''s elemental energy was also surging incessantly. He directly swallowed some of the medicinal pills he had bought at the market and fully operated them to recover.


    Now that both of them were injured, if they were to continue fighting, their chances of success might not be high. But right now, Duan Yu was still as lively as ever, without the slightest bit of damage.


    Adding Duan Yu and Yue Shan, if they were to fight Guan Changyang, the other party would definitely die! Seeing this scene, Guan Changyang''s face instantly became pale white as well.


    Coldness surged within Hong Yang''s eyes, and he did not stop Duan Yu either. Even if he couldn''t kill the other party, he had to at least give him a lesson.


    There was no need to hold back against scum like him.


    Duan Yu took a step forward with a dark expression. Suddenly, a shout came from the sky.


    "Who dares to act so atrociously here!"

 C99

    Hearing this voice, Guan Changyang felt as if he had found his savior! He took a step back and shouted, "Master Xiao Lin, save me!"


    Duan Yu also stopped what he was doing, looking at the man in front of him in shock, then looking at the man whom Guan Changyang had addressed as Master.


    He was about thirty years old and held a folding fan in his hand. It seemed that he had an extraordinary bearing. Duan Yu used the Spiritual Sense to check for a bit before quickly retreating.


    The other party''s Spiritual Sense did not have any reaction. If they weren''t ordinary, they were experts with Earth Origin Stage s and above.


    Naturally, it was the latter. As the other party walked down from a brothel, Hong Yang''s pupils also shrank slightly. He never thought that this Brothel Gang actually had such an expert.


    Of course, he wouldn''t have much of an expression on his face towards this Xiao Lin. His face immediately darkened as he said: "It''s obvious who attacked first. I don''t think that I need to say anything more."


    Hong Yang had made a move earlier, but did not harm a single hair on the opponent''s head. And Guan Changyang killed the man instantly. He immediately took up the word "reason".


    "So what?" Xiao Lin smiled slightly: "I don''t care who attacked first, I only know that this is my territory. "Stay in the brothel and work for me."


    In the bottom of his heart, he secretly cursed, and ignored the faint laughter of the spectators. Hong Yang looked at Duan Yu, and instantly retreated backwards.


    Xiao Lin suddenly closed his fan! Following which, he took a step forward and a faint Essence of Essence appeared on his fan. Seeing this scene, Hong Yang also had a bad premonition.


    The fan faced the air and slashed down, unexpectedly producing a faint sound of something tearing through the air. Then, an afterimage was activated and with an extremely fast speed, it rushed towards Hong Yang and Yue Shan!


    Hong Yang''s pupils contracted slightly as he cried out involuntarily, "sword qi form, Earth Origin Stage!"


    This man in front of his eyes, actually had the strength of Earth Origin Stage! That sword qi transformation was just a description. At this point, any weapon could transform into a "sword qi" that was close to the material level.


    The fan image was extremely fast, and Hong Yang could not dodge it at all! As he steeled his heart, lightning appeared on his hands as he prepared to receive this move.


    The thunder shook the sky!


    His two hands came together and collided ferociously with the fan shadow! Hong Yang knew full well how powerful that fan image was, it was not something he could defend against.


    Swish!


    He turned his body slightly to the side and watched as the fan shadow passed by him in a dangerous fashion! Hong Yang suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    He was shocked. The opponent definitely did not kill him! However, even though he had attacked with all his strength, he still couldn''t block a casual strike from his opponent. The difference in strength was obvious at a glance.


    The amount of shadows surrounding Duan Yu was not as many as the number of shadows surrounding him, but it was clear that Duan Yu was also strong enough to receive them! His longsword was charred black and there were a few bloody scars on his body. Fresh blood slowly flowed out from within it. It looked extremely terrifying.


    "Duan Yu, go!" Hong Yang immediately shouted, his eyes filled with deep dread! The other party had Earth Origin Stage. If he still did not leave at this time, then he might really be able to stay here forever.


    "You want to leave? Stay!" Xiao Lin licked his lips, and took another step forward. When the fan was completely opened, the surrounding people also retreated a large area in order to avoid being hit by the fan''s shadows.


    Those spectators, most of their strength were just cultivation s with one second rank, the highest level being sixth rank! If he was hit by this fan of shadows, he would surely die.


    Hong Yang secretly felt bitter at the bottom of his heart, but then he suddenly jumped upwards! The Yuan Qi beneath his feet allowed his entire body to soar into the sky.


    Thunderstorm rolled out!


    Many of the onlookers were instantly struck dumb by the sound of the wind and thunder! Even Guan Changyang''s face became deathly pale. It was obvious that he had been tricked.


    But Xiao Lin merely frowned, he was not affected in the slightest! His body turned into a ray of light and headed towards Hong Yang.


    Boom!


    Under his shock, Hong Yang directly slammed his palm against the wall! The originally weak wall instantly broke into pieces. The shadows of the fans that landed on the shattered rocks actually decreased their power by quite a bit.


    "Let me see how many moves you can take!" Xiao Lin took another step forward, and said coldly. In the past, among the Returning Origin Stage experts that he faced, there had never been anyone that had been able to take his second move! Not only did Hong Yang ingeniously receive it, it looked like he wasn''t really injured!


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Three slashes in a row! Xiao Lin''s gaze suddenly became serious. Next, he abruptly retreated and directly threw a punch behind him!


    Bang!


    With the sound of a huge collision, the bottom of Xiao Lin''s heart was also overwhelmed with shock! Then he shouted behind him: "Who is it? "If you have the guts, don''t sneak attack me. Stand out in the open."


    Being called out like this, Hong Yang was also momentarily distracted, and was instantly hit by the fan shadow! He endured the pain as he threw out two punches. His elemental energy exploded as he threw out two punches.


    His entire right shoulder was filled with terrifying injuries! Enduring the pain, he slowly looked in that direction.


    "In this world, could it be that this is your territory? Do you think there is any suspicion of treason?" From the crowd, two people slowly walked out. "With the strength of Earth Origin Stage, against a person at the ninth level of the Returning Origin Stage, he had even received three strikes from the opponent! "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, such strong battle prowess."


    His tone was filled with unavoidable sarcasm. Xiao Lin''s face immediately turned pale. Although he did not use his full strength, to be hit by three moves from a Returning Origin Stage expert was a fact!


    "What does my matter have to do with you?" Xiao Lin''s face instantly turned cold. When his Spiritual Sense detected the other party, it was immediately stunned.


    There''s a man and a woman, and the woman is only at the ninth level of the Origin Convergence Stage." That man was a third level Earth Origin Stage cultivator with the same cultivation level as him!


    That punch from before had caused his arm to go numb and his heart to tense up. This man''s cultivation was stronger than his own.


    "What about the other cities? It seems like the Brothel Gang have cleared out the rest of the cities?" That man looked at Xiao Lin, and revealed a bit of playfulness: "Should we, Hua Chi City, also keep up with your pace?"


    The bottom of Xiao Lin''s heart sank, as an ominous premonition spontaneously arose. He instantly became vigilant, "Someone from the Taiyi Sect?"


    The person who had come was precisely the person from Taiyi Sect! Furthermore, Hong Yang also knew these two people ¡­ One was called Chen Ming, the other was the WeiSheng who was around the same age as Hong Yang.

 C100

    The person who surrounded and annihilated the Brothel Gang was the order of the Taiyi Sect Sect Master himself! Most of the other cities had already been implemented. However, Ma Chengfeng still had not moved from Hua Chi City.


    Xiao Lin froze for a moment, then sneered: "My Brothel Gang spans several counties! Do you think just by relying on your Taiyi Sect, you can annihilate us without even being able to get out of the Taiyi County? "


    "I don''t care about other places. I just care about what I have here." Chen Ming gave a similar cold laugh. He took a step forward, and an enormous imposing manner emitted from his body, clashing with Xiao Lin from a distance.


    His aura was extremely sharp, and instantly broke Xiao Lin''s aura! This caused the faces of some of the spectators to go deathly pale.


    Duan Yu looked at the two of them and his face revealed a deep astonishment. That Chen Ming, was naturally the second disciple Ma Chengfeng had accepted! He had only reached the age of thirty this year.


    To be able to obtain this cultivation at the age of thirty, it was already considered an extraordinary talent! And now, it seemed that merely by relying on this aura, it wasn''t impossible for him to jump levels to challenge Duan Ling Tian.


    He coldly pulled out the long sword from his back. This place was not spacious and was not suitable for such high-leveled moves. If he were to use a longsword, he would be more nimble and have the advantage.


    Xiao Lin retreated step by step. Although he was not willing to admit defeat, he was not an idiot! In terms of Earth Origin Stage, he was inferior to the man in front of him.


    Furthermore, he had fought with Hong Yang for such a long time! His Essence had also been greatly consumed. Now that he faced him, he had no chance at all.


    "You can hide inside, but do you believe that I won''t hack your building apart?" The corner of Chen Ming''s mouth raised slightly. Looking at Xiao Lin who was slowly retreating, he said. "The people from City Lord''s Mansion do not dare to touch you.


    Earth Origin Stage, could naturally release the sword qi! Relying on the sword qi s to destroy the entire building was just a matter of time.


    Hong Yang''s heart skipped a beat. Someone with City Lord''s Mansion? I''m afraid that Luo Yansheng''s efforts have all failed, I wonder how he''s doing now ¡­


    As expected, Xiao Lin was stunned. He finally turned around and said in a low voice, "Don''t be too ruthless in everything you do. If you do this, Brothel Gang will never let you off!"


    He also understood the seriousness of the situation. It seemed that the other party was determined to deal with him! And he never thought that Hong Yang and Yue Shan, were actually from the Taiyi Sect.


    In other cities, people of Brothel Gang had long hated dogs that had lost their homes. And the reason why they were so proud of their kindness, was largely because Ma Chengfeng was not interested in this matter.


    But now, he was actually also the one who had voluntarily provoked Taiyi Sect! This unwise decision made him realize in an instant what was going to happen next.


    "If you won''t let me go, then don''t let me go. I don''t care." Chen Ming smiled faintly. He completely ignored this ridiculous threat.


    Swish!


    In the next second, his body disappeared from where he stood! It was actually exactly the same as Hong Yang!


    It was just that within his thunderous roars, he did not have the captivating effect of Hong Yang. Xiao Lin''s pupils contracted slightly, he did not dare to be the least bit careless.


    His speed was already sufficient to match up to Earth Origin Stage! In other words, his speed was even faster than Xiao Lin''s!


    As he probed the surroundings, he was suddenly surprised to find out! Beneath the Spiritual Sense, Chen Ming''s movements could actually not be detected!


    His heart violently trembled! He looked to his right and discovered that everything in front of him was already filled with lightning.


    The thunder shook the sky!


    Boom!


    He subconsciously raised his right hand, as he unleashed his vitality; however, he was simply unable to block Chen Ming''s attack.


    His entire body flew backward in an instant. He felt his entire body being paralyzed, devoid of any sense of sensation. He could only lie there, unable to muster up any strength to even stand up.


    His entire right arm was charred black. It looked terrible.


    Instant kill!


    Duan Yu''s eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. Although Xiao Lin had exhausted a lot of his vitality in his battle with Hong Yang earlier. But at the very least, he should have kept fighting for a period of time before losing. But from the looks of it now, he had no ability to resist at all!


    Even Hong Yang opened his eyes wide, he could not believe what had just happened!


    After taking care of Xiao Lin in one move, Chen Ming looked at WeiSheng who was beside him. The latter was not the least bit surprised as he covered his mouth and giggled. However, there was an unconcealable coldness in his eyes.


    Soon after, Chen Ming actually arrived in front of the brothel in a few steps! Then he took a deep breath, and waved his sword a few times. The sword qi exploded, and was cut down in the middle of the building!


    Screams could be heard coming from inside! However, Chen Ming acted as if he did not hear it, and only stopped after he had cut six pillars into four pieces did he stop.


    If he really did cut down the six pillars, the entire building would instantly collapse! When that time came, it would be filled with injuries and death, and even if it was Taiyi Sect, it would not be enough to accommodate him.


    Only after doing all this did he turn around. Looking at Hong Yang, he frowned, and then looked at the stunned Duan Yu again.


    Hong Yang''s vitality was already running out. After consuming a handful of medicinal pills, he finally felt a bit of strength returning to his body.


    Chen Ming looked at him blandly, and didn''t say much. He only said faintly, "You''ve done quite well. Compared to when I was at the ninth stage of the Returning Origin Stage back then, this was way more powerful. "


    Hong Yang was startled, then looked at him. He hadn''t thought that the other party would give him such a high evaluation.


    Hong Yang knew that he could also instantly kill someone at the same level of strength as him. Unless one was a match for the Pill Master''s cultivation, the sounds of his wind and thunder would cause one''s mind to fall into disarray.


    However, after reaching the Earth Origin Stage realm, one''s comprehension of the martial way would become even more exquisite, and things like being captivated would become even more difficult to accomplish!


    Hong Yang was startled, he did not know what to reply, and could only reply: "Thank you."


    "Let''s go." Chen Ming turned around, his tone still as calm as before: "Recover your Blue Lotus Institution."


    In these seven days, Chen Ming and WeiSheng were also not in the Blue Lotus Institution. Duan Yu naturally had never seen the two of them before. Now that they saw it, they were greatly shocked by their strength!


    As they were both in the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, Hong Yang still had to borrow strength from the bizarre sound of wind and thunder to instantly kill them. Chen Ming on the other hand, had defeated his opponent using his own strength.


    After Hong Yang temporarily suppressed his injuries, he quickly followed suit. He naturally knew that he had to find a place to recover in peace. Otherwise, just relying on the medicinal strength of the pill to suppress it would not be a long term solution.


    The reason why City Lord''s Mansion users did not dare to use their Brothel Gang was undoubtedly because of fear. Now that the people from the Taiyi Sect had made the first move, there was naturally no need for them to be afraid anymore.

 C101

    Three days later.


    Chen Ming and WeiSheng also gradually returned to the Blue Lotus Institution. After hearing about Hong Yang''s matter, many people felt a sense of lingering fear.


    Hong Yang had also used these three days to recover from his injuries.


    Aside from the house, he also came to Luo Qingyao''s residence. Normally, all the pellets they needed were refined by the Pill Master Guild and some merchant guilds in Huajia City. Now that they had Luo Qingyao, there was no need for them to go through all this trouble to refine pills.


    Luo Qingyao was also very happy. The Pill Master''s method of levelling up was to train and train continuously in the way of controlling fire and vitality, thus improving through refining pills again and again.


    However, when he entered the room, he was also stunned. Because in the room, other than Luo Qingyao, Ma Chengfeng and WeiSheng were also there.


    Once he entered the room, he immediately went silent, as he did not want to disturb Luo Qingyao''s cultivation.


    Luo Qingyao''s hands were controlling the cauldron, continuously controlling the flames within! However, what surprised Hong Yang was that he had never seen the materials inside before.


    Originally, what Luo Qingyao had refined were only the most basic of medicinal pellets. Regarding these pills, even if Hong Yang had never seen one thousand or eight hundred, he would at least know some basic refining items.


    However, he had never heard of the item in the cauldron before! And looking at Luo Qingyao''s face, there was a grave expression on it that had never been there before.


    After staying still for a while, Hong Yang suddenly understood something! He suddenly murmured, "This is..." Is it a third rank Pill? "


    Ma Chengfeng, who was at the side, slowly nodded. However, just as he finished speaking, the fire in the cauldron instantly went out of control!


    Ah!" Luo Qingyao was immediately startled, and immediately retreated several meters back, in case she was injured by the flames. With this, the herbs in the cauldron were completely burnt.


    "I failed ¡­" Hong Yang was flabbergasted, and started to secretly blame himself. He also subconsciously thought that the words he had said a moment ago had broken Luo Qingyao''s state of mind, which was why she failed.


    Unexpectedly, Luo Qingyao only stared at him fiercely, and did not say anything. Ma Chengfeng said faintly: "Continue. Even if you fail to make a breakthrough, it will still be of great help to your experience. "


    Luo Qingyao was currently crossing levels to refine the third rank Pellets! After realising this, Hong Yang''s expression changed a little when he looked at Ma Chengfeng.


    The raw materials for third rank Pellets were not cheap! Ma Chengfeng was actually able to use it to practice. With such a large sum like this, even the Pill Master''s Luo Family would not be able to do it.


    After watching for a while, the three of them did not plan to disturb Luo Qingyao from concocting the pill and left the room. In the courtyard, Ma Chengfeng suddenly looked at Hong Yang, and asked: "How long have you been learning the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder?"


    Hong Yang was quiet for a moment, then said: "Ten years, right? When I reached the Returning Origin Stage at the age of thirteen, I started to practice. "


    "Ten years ¡­" At the age of ten, Hong Yang came to the Taiyi Sect to learn from Ma Chengfeng. At that time, Ma Chengfeng had also just walked out of the Taiyi County capital and arrived in Hua Chi City.


    He pondered for a moment, and continued: "On that day, Chen Yan''s Dust Sword Arts, you also experienced it, right?"


    Hong Yang nodded his head. When he was at the border, he had already seen it! When they surrounded Guan Changyang, in the end, they were still able to rely on this Dust Sword Arts to block a strike from his Earth Origin Stage!


    "If I were to tell you, how about I pass this sword arts to you?" Ma Chengfeng smiled, looked at Hong Yang and said.


    Hong Yang''s heart fiercely shook! He naturally knew the importance of Dust Sword Arts, and before that, it was one of Ma Chengfeng''s famous ultimate skills.


    However, he did not reveal any expression of joy. Instead, he looked at his own master. He knew Ma Chengfeng, and had not finished speaking.


    "Of course, there is also a prerequisite." Ma Chengfeng paused for a moment, then continued, he pointed at WeiSheng and said: "Of the two of you, whoever defeates the strongest, I will pass down this sword arts to."


    Hong Yang''s heart trembled! Then, he turned to look at WeiSheng. The latter made a provocative gesture with the corner of her mouth.


    Ma Chengfeng made the same promise to both of them. Between the two, there was only one person who could inherit this Dust Sword Arts.


    Hong Yang''s heart was moved. He naturally had to obtain this Dust Sword Arts! With his comprehension in the martial way based on Heaven Origin, he might even be able to strengthen this sword arts again.


    The opponent''s strength was naturally not any weaker than his. He might even have a cultivation method that was comparable to the altered Three Styles of Wind and Thunder! The only thing that Hong Yang could surpass him was experience.


    The two of them arrived at the courtyard. There was also a rather spacious area within the courtyard! They stood still, Hong Yang touched his chin, and looked at WeiSheng quietly.


    The might of the Dust Sword Arts, could probably be counted as high as the second rank cultivation technique! If he were to casually leave them on the streets, it would cause chaos throughout the city.


    Hong Yang did not move, he knew very little about this junior sister! Although he excelled in speed, he chose to be passive at this moment.


    "Aren''t you going to make a move?" WeiSheng was startled, then looked at him and said: "According to Master, you should be known for your speed. "The right to take the initiative should be very important to you, right?"


    Hong Yang smiled, his vitality had already reached its peak, and he laughed: "That depends on who."


    A hint of doubt flashed across WeiSheng''s eyes. The look flashed in her eyes, then she said in a cold voice: "Since you want to take the initiative and give up the advantage, then I have no other choice."


    It was just a few dozen meters away, and both sides were experts of the ninth stage of the Origin Returning Stage. This kind of speed was practically instantaneous. WeiSheng pulled out her long sword, and instantly rushed towards Hong Yang!


    Thousand Shadow Slaughter!


    Hong Yang''s pupils shrank slightly. He finally understood why the other party would say that taking the initiative was extremely important to him.


    The sword trembled slightly and stabbed out dozens of times in an instant! It had sealed off all places where Hong Yang could dodge to, leaving him no place to hide.


    This Thousand Shadow Slaughter technique was a second rank cultivation technique. It could even be compared with a middle grade second rank cultivation technique! "If a cultivator reached the Sky Origin Stage, he could explode out over a thousand swords in an instant, which would be hard to defend against.


    With WeiSheng''s current strength, she could only stab out dozens of times in an instant. However, it was enough to deal with Hong Yang.


    Hong Yang did not have a weapon, if he used his hands to block, it would be no different from an egg striking a rock! His figure instantly exploded and retreated. However, he only took a few steps back before he was enveloped by sword images that filled the sky.


    With the eruption of his vitality, there was nowhere else to go. Thus, Hong Yang directly soared into the sky! At this moment, the sound of wind and thunder suddenly exploded in WeiSheng''s ears.


    Thunderstorm rolled out!

 C102

    The sound of wind and thunder roared in his mind! WeiSheng''s hands couldn''t help but slow down a bit. Hong Yang bellowed, his entire body shooting up into the sky, directly jumping out of the sky filled with sword images!


    However, even then, Hong Yang''s body still had four or five cuts. Although they weren''t deep, they still looked quite horrifying.


    This Thousand Shadow Slaughter also had some traces of the Rotary Kill from the Star Moon Scripture! However, the ability to seal everything off was actually a grade higher than the Rotary Kill.


    His speed still didn''t decrease. It was very difficult to use the sound of wind and thunder a second time! As long as the other was calm and collected, he wouldn''t fall for the same trick a second time.


    Therefore, this was an opportunity that he absolutely could not give up on!


    The thunder shook the sky!


    Hong Yang no longer cared about the injuries on his body, as both of his hands merged together. Lightning light surged on his hands, as he directly smashed towards WeiSheng''s longsword.


    Boom!


    Lei Hantian directly and ruthlessly collided with the long sword. In an instant, lightning flashed! WeiSheng''s palm also instantly went numb, not able to muster up any strength.


    Hong Yang also knew, that at least half of WeiSheng''s battle strength was in this sword! If he had knocked out his sword, then he would already have victory in his hands.


    "How dare you!"


    He lifted up one of her legs and viciously kicked the sword hilt! WeiSheng had also reacted in that instant, and in a great shock, she directly struck out with her palm.


    Clank.


    The sword was immediately sent flying by Hong Yang''s kick! He landed on the ground not far away, while Hong Yang also suffered a heavy blow from WeiSheng, causing him to instantly retreat four or five steps.


    Hong Yang had always been receiving attacks from Earth Origin Stage experts, yet when he was hit by the palm strike from WeiSheng''s Origin Returning Stage at the ninth level, he actually only took a few steps back! WeiSheng was also startled, and then he looked at his palm in shock.


    Between the two of them, since they didn''t cultivate the body tempering technique, it was impossible for them to directly receive the opponent''s palm strike! However, the truth was right in front of him.


    Hong Yang was also surprised, but he quickly regained his senses. The secret in his body could be slowly discovered, but this Dust Sword Arts, he had to obtain it no matter what!


    Without the sword, WeiSheng''s fighting strength had decreased by at least half. If he wanted to win now, it would be a piece of cake.


    WeiSheng''s face also instantly turned pale white! Naturally, she knew what this signified. With a flash, she immediately rushed towards where the longsword landed.


    Only by snatching back the sword would he be able to have the power to fight with Hong Yang! However, when Hong Yang saw her actions, he could only smile slightly.


    Thunder rumbled in the wind!


    His figure instantly exploded in a flash, directly taking the initiative. Hong Yang''s speed was enough to rival a few Earth Origin Stage experts who were weaker than him! In the next second, he also took out the longsword in his hand and looked at WeiSheng with a smile.


    In terms of attack power, although his Tremor of Thunder was fierce, it could only be used three times. It could not be used for a long period of time, and could only be used to finish things quickly. However, in terms of speed, unless it was someone who had learned the Body Transformation skill at the same level, there was no way they could compete with him!


    He still had more than half of his elemental energy left, so he was confident that he would be able to put up a fight. As long as the longsword did not fall into her hands, she would definitely win.


    WeiSheng stood there, then shot a glance at Ma Chengfeng who was watching from a distance, and immediately said unwillingly: I admit defeat.


    Even if they kept fighting, there would be no suspense! I might as well let it go.


    Hearing WeiSheng''s tone of admitting defeat, Hong Yang also heaved a sigh of relief. Compared to WeiSheng, he was under a lot of pressure! If he had stayed within the Thousand Shadow Massacre for just three seconds, then the sky full of sword shadows would have directly chopped him down to the point where he could not resist at all.


    He swallowed a few medicinal pills to recover his Essence. WeiSheng looked at him with a bit of resentment, which also caused him to have no choice but to bitterly smile.


    WeiSheng mainly cultivates the sword arts! The usefulness of this Dust Sword Arts to her was far beyond what other cultivation methods could compare to. Hong Yang was naturally aware of this as well.


    Ma Chengfeng slightly nodded, he was very satisfied with Hong Yang''s performance! Never would he have thought that after leaving the Blue Lotus Institution for two years, Hong Yang did not retreat.


    He naturally did not know that all of this happened in the past two months. And the decadent life he led in the Ningyang City earlier, would be one of Hong Yang''s inner demons.


    "If you win, this cultivation technique will naturally be handed over to you." Ma Chengfeng nodded his head, and took the long sword from Hong Yang''s hands.


    Although he said that, he took the sword and took a few steps back. Suddenly, he also began brandishing it!


    Hong Yang stared blankly for a moment, and then immediately began to carefully memorize as well. Although he said this, in reality, it was for two people to see.


    The reason was simple! Whether it was Hong Yang or WeiSheng, both of them had obtained Ma Chengfeng''s acknowledgement, and were qualified to learn this Dust Sword Arts!


    The sword aura scattered, giving the onlookers an incomparable feeling! This caused the two of them to be captivated by what they saw.


    In the past few years, Hong Yang had also seen his master execute this set of sword arts! However, at that time, his mental state was completely different than it is now. It was just that he felt that this set of sword arts was gorgeous, did not lose out in terms of power, and was rather practical.


    And now, his comprehension of the martial way did not only stop at Heaven Origin! The feeling he had when looking at the sword arts was naturally completely different.


    The entire set of sword arts flowed smoothly without any flaws! However, this set of sword arts''s every move, was filled with hidden danger, and gave people a feeling that there were many dangers lurking within.


    It had only been a few minutes, but the bottom of Hong Yang''s heart suddenly shook violently. He couldn''t help but say, "First form."


    Hearing that, Ma Chengfeng''s figure seemed to pause for a moment, after that, he continued with his technique, as if he did not hear anything.


    "The second stance."


    "The third move."


    "The fourth ¡­"


    After a full fifteen minutes, this set of sword arts was only developed by Ma Chengfeng in an almost perfect way! Amongst them, Hong Yang had also cried out seven times.


    Dust Sword Arts, Seven Techniques and Seven Styles.


    Slowly putting away his sword, Ma Chengfeng''s expression did not change. In his heart, however, he was as shocked as the raging waves!


    "I will only cast this set of sword arts a second time. Only once would he be able to comprehend a god. If you continue to do so, you will only be in physical form. " Pausing for a moment, Ma Chengfeng slowly said.


    "Of course, if you have any questions, you can come and find me. I can use it for you guys a second time! However ¡­ "I don''t wish for anyone to make me use it a second time."


    The first impression was the purest one! If he were to continue using it, it would just be a formless and lifeless memory which would be of no use at all.

 C103

    Ma Chengfeng said indifferently, then turned and left. Only Hong Yang and WeiSheng stood there in a daze.


    That set of sword arts had already been deeply imprinted in their minds! After an entire quarter of an hour, Hong Yang was the first to wake up.


    The shock that this set of Dust Sword Arts gave him was simply too great! Looking at WeiSheng who was still in a daze, he also shook his head slightly.


    His martial arts insight was enough to make a difference. She could firmly remember it in her heart after reading it once! However, if WeiSheng wanted to remember every single detail, every single movement, it was practically impossible.


    More importantly, she was unable to understand that kind of state of mind. With a bitter smile, Hong Yang did not give her any pointers. Instead, he turned around and returned to his room to cultivate.


    Just as Ma Chengfeng had said, if he could not comprehend it on his own, and needed someone else to teach him! It was just a formless move, he could not unleash this move to its peak.


    Back then, had only been able to use the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder three times! After repeating it three times, he never gave Hong Yang any guidance at all. Only after Hong Yang pondered for an entire three months did he finally complete these three moves.


    Slowly returning to his room, Hong Yang closed his eyes and started to cultivate! As his mind was immersed in his inner world, a sword materialized out of thin air. Hong Yang followed his memories and started to practice again and again!


    Although his comprehension of the martial way had already reached the realm of Sky Origin Stage, every second would be filled with endless changes when he imprinted a set of sword arts! It was impossible to write it down completely.


    Hong Yang had already memorized most of the movements! Even if some places were forgotten, it was still possible to deduce it slowly.


    The Dust Sword Arts was divided into seven different forms. Although it could not be seen with the naked eye, the feeling of each form was completely different!


    Whether it was sharp, explosive, or shockingly fast ¡­ Perhaps it was calm and steady, with the intention of opening and closing. When the auras were disassembled, they could become an extraordinary sword arts. When combined together, the power would multiply.


    If he had invented this cultivation method, his comprehension of martial arts would definitely be above Sky Origin Stage and above! Even Hong Yang was unable to see through them completely.


    Immersed, Hong Yang practiced tirelessly again and again! He only stopped when he had mastered three moves of the Seven Styles, and slowly left his cultivation state.


    A day and a night had passed! From the looks of it, this was the moment it had just become night. The sky had already darkened.


    After getting up and eating something randomly, Hong Yang did not eat anything for an entire day and night. Only after he had filled his stomach did he finally arrive at the courtyard.


    Although he had comprehended three moves in one night! However, if he wanted to reach that state of mind, it would be very difficult. Furthermore, the further one went in the sword arts, the more one would forget about the power and the more time one would need to deduce martial arts.


    Hong Yang reckoned that he would be able to reach Chen Yan''s level within a month! It just so happened to be the day of Taiyi Sect selection.


    If this estimate of his reached other people''s ears, they would probably be instantly scared silly! At that time, Chen Yan also required an entire year before he could completely grasp the sword arts.


    And Hong Yang, was actually confident that he could completely master it within a month. The difference was twelve times!


    Before this, WeiSheng and Chen Ming had also gone to Huajia City to gather some heaven and earth medicines. Within the Blue Lotus Institution at night, there was a rich fragrance which made people feel extremely comfortable.


    This was also the reason why within Blue Lotus Institution, the vitality was several times richer than outside. With so many treasures here, the amount of spiritual energy that would be gathered would be enough to make this place a holy land for cultivation.


    A cold light flashed faintly in the courtyard. His heart was startled, but he was then able to recognize that it was Duan Yu who was training.


    His Full Moon Heavenly Wolf had nearly one month of time! Currently, it was also close to mastery. However, it would still be very difficult for it to unleash the full might of the Falling Moon Form.


    The might of the Heavenly Wolf, the power of the Full Moon.


    A beam of light suddenly shot out and pointed straight at the horizon! As the arrow was shot out, it actually made a faint howling sound.


    Hong Yang''s heart was shocked, his movement technique seemed to have activated in an instant, and in the span of a breath, he was already at Duan Yu''s side! He felt great shock in his heart and also looked towards the sky.


    That wolf howl seemed to possess a will that could shock one! The arrow flew towards the full moon, then it slowly disappeared in the sky.


    This arrow did not seem to have much power. However, if the arrow had hit a person''s body, it might have directly penetrated their body! Even if it was Hong Yang, he was not confident that he could block this move.


    After Duan Yu finished shooting the arrow, he also felt that all the energy in his body had been sucked out. It was only now that he realized that Hong Yang was already beside him.


    It seemed like Duan Yu had also benefited greatly from his previous encounter with the Fulfillment Realm. Hong Yang cupped his hands towards Duan Yu, and said with a smile: "Congratulations on your successful training."


    The howling of the wolves was the embodiment of this technique! Although this was the first time Duan Yu executed this in his special state of mind, it was naturally not too far off from the second time as well.


    Duan Yu laughed awkwardly. Originally, he needed several months or even a year to practice the "One Month" cultivation technique! However, this move had now reached its desired effect in merely a month''s time.


    Without a doubt, this meant that in the selection one month later, they would have one more chip to play! Regardless of whether it was Hong Yang, Duan Yu or WeiSheng, they were all talented people with extremely high morals.


    "There are still twenty days. It''s time for the selection. " Duan Yu nodded towards Hong Yang, and also guessed what Hong Yang was thinking. He immediately said, "At that time, we must rush to the Taiyi County a week earlier."


    Their hearts moved. If they were one week ahead of time, then that meant that they only had two weeks left to study these cultivation methods! Not only was it Duan Yu''s Full Moon Heavenly Wolf, even the Dust Sword Arts was hard to grasp.


    Therefore, if he wanted to improve his combat power, it would be very difficult! With his eyes narrowed slightly, it was clear that Hong Yang was planning something deep within his heart.


    If he could not use the technique, then what about the cultivation? He and Duan Yu, both had the strength at the middle of the ninth stage of the Origin Returning Stage! If he was just a single step away, he would be able to reach the Peak of Returning Origin Stage!


    He still had two weeks to talk, and he wanted to increase his strength by half a step ¡­ It was not completely impossible! As for Peak of Returning Origin Stage, it could already be considered as having some ability to come into contact with Earth Origin Stage. Compared to the middle of the ninth stage of the Origin Returning Stage, it was two completely different concepts.

 C104

    Speak of your own thoughts, if the two of them are able to raise the cultivation s to the Peak of Returning Origin Stage! Unless they met a Earth Origin Stage Ranker, there were almost no opponents for them in the entire selection.


    By that time, Hong Yang would also truly be able to match up to the speed of the Earth Origin Stage experts! If they waited until the Dust Sword Arts reached large success, they would even have the strength to fight against Earth Origin Stage Warriors head-on.


    Since there was enough genius treasure here, it depended on Ma Chengfeng not wanting to part with it. Hong Yang''s cultivation speed could be said to be at a thousand miles in a day! Although the chances of increasing during this period of time were slim, it wasn''t impossible.


    He muttered to himself for a moment, then asked: "Where is the Origin Accumulation Pill that Luo Qingyao gave you? You''re already at the ninth stage of the Origin Returning Stage, if you don''t take it, it would be equivalent to wasting it. "


    Origin Accumulation Pill s were fourth rank pills, they could only consume one in a lifetime! This sort of thing that could be encountered by luck but not sought for, was unlikely to be found in the entire Huajia City.


    Within the Earth Origin Stage, there was also a pellet that increased one''s strength: the Good Fortune Pellet, which was ranked at the peak of the fifth rank, and even the position of the sixth rank! This sort of thing was probably only found in the Spirit Province of the Spirit Continent. It could even be traced back to the royal family. Therefore, to an average person, the Origin Accumulation Pill in the Origin Returning Stage was the only medicine that could raise a cultivation! To any warrior, it was like a treasure.


    "I have asked Master. He said that he would wait until I reached the peak of the ninth step before consuming this Origin Accumulation Pill to use as a bargaining chip to attack Earth Origin Stage! " Duan Yu was startled, and then he replied.


    The bottom of his heart was silent for a moment. Peak of the ninth step''s Earth Origin Stage, was also an extremely huge gap! That would also be the time when Origin Accumulation Pill would be able to bring about an effect. Although the effect was already very poor, it would still be quite helpful in breaking through bottlenecks.


    And if consumed now, it could only be raised to the Peak of Returning Origin Stage, which was difficult to store. And right now, Duan Yu obviously did not have the power to break through the Earth Origin Stage.


    However, Duan Yu did not have the same cultivation experience as Hong Yang! If he did not consume the Origin Accumulation Pill, raising his Peak of Returning Origin Stage''s strength was practically impossible.


    Thinking about it, Hong Yang could only give up. In any case, he would only need one night to increase his strength after consuming the Origin Accumulation Pill. Even if the selection had started, he would still be able to draw it out in one night.


    After bidding farewell to Duan Yu, Hong Yang returned to his own room. He hesitated for a moment and then took something out of his backpack.


    This item was actually the Soul-nourishing Wood that he had bought in Cloud Forest City! It was as thick as three fingers and as long as twenty centimeters. It was an extremely rare sight.


    He too was moved. Although the Soul-nourishing Wood was only a material for refining pills. But they were still objects of fifth rank! How terrifying was the medicinal effect?!


    If he could eat it, he would be able to use its medicinal power to circulate his Dantian, which would also be able to increase his cultivation! It was also of great benefit to the cleansing of meridians, and even had the effect of increasing one''s talent.


    Of course, compared to using Soul-nourishing Wood as the main ingredient to concoct the Great Revitalizing Pellet, this little bit of medicinal power was like a drop in the ocean. Its value was incomparable. The latter could save a person''s flesh and bones. Basically, as long as one''s vitality was not completely cut off, one could save them within the Earth Origin Stage! But if consumed directly, it could only be used inside the Origin Returning Stage to raise a little bit of the cultivation.


    After pondering for half the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Hong Yang finally let out a long sigh and gave up. The two of them could not be compared at all, there might be another way to raise Duan Yu''s strength. However, if the Soul-nourishing Wood lost it, it would not be so lucky to find a second one.


    Although he still did not know who the was, he would come into contact with them sooner or later! The inheritance given to him by the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao, was destined to never be ordinary in his life.


    Putting all these aside, his heart continued to sink. Hong Yang also started to practice the Dust Sword Arts inside his heart.


    Seven days later.


    After seven days of cultivating day and night, Hong Yang''s realm also began to rush towards the Peak of Returning Origin Stage, and started to increase rapidly! The spiritual energy that was several times denser than that of the outside world along with the various genius and earthly treasures had also caused Hong Yang''s cultivation speed to increase by a total of seven to eight times.


    His Dust Sword Arts, had also fully grasped four moves! But compared to him, WeiSheng had only grasped one move. However, her understanding of the sword arts, had also allowed her experience to increase further. The power of the Thousand Shadow Massacre had increased by quite a bit.


    We need to reach the capital city of Taiyi County one week in advance. On the way, he still needed three days! In other words, Hong Yang only had three days left.


    After arriving at Hua Chi City, he casually strolled around a few times. The borders had already been opened, and there were many people from the Pine Wind County who brought the matter of Hong Yang being wanted by the two counties to the Hua Chi City.


    What made Hong Yang fortunate was that his Taiyi County had not placed a bounty on him. If not, even though Hong Yang was a person with Taiyi Sect, he would inevitably cause trouble.


    The brothel from before had already been demolished and replaced with an ordinary tavern. People walked in and out of the tavern, Hong Yang went in and strolled around, but he did not find anything strange.


    After casually asking for two jars of wine, Hong Yang seemed to have discovered that his desire to drink had decreased by quite a bit as he immersed himself wholeheartedly in cultivation. After all, he now had the inheritance of two ancient masters, and was no longer the dispirited Hong Yang from before.


    "Brother, long time no see."


    Just as he was drinking, someone patted on Hong Yang''s shoulder. He turned his head suspiciously, and realized that the person who came was Luo Yansheng.


    Naturally, Hong Yang also clearly remembered the scene on the plain. However, the other party was currently in a haggard state. At a glance, he could tell that something was amiss.


    Hong Yang''s heart trembled, and then the Spiritual Sense directly probed into his body! However, he was shocked to discover that... The opponent''s dantian was already shattered, and the foundation of their martial arts was destroyed!


    Luo Yansheng was originally also an expert of the seventh stage of the Origin Returning Stage! However, right now, there was not a single strand of Essence in his body that could be detected. He had become an ordinary person without any talent in cultivation!


    As if he had noticed what Hong Yang was thinking, Luo Yansheng could only let out a bitter laugh, and said helplessly: "Nothing, I just found the wrong person. In the future, just treat it as an ordinary life. "


    Once the foundation of the martial way was destroyed, the only way would be if there was a sixth rank pellet or a strong practitioner of Sky Origin Stage above the "Heaven''s End Meridian Pill", which would help him rebuild the foundation. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be able to cultivate for the rest of his life.


    Thinking about it earlier, Guan Changyang actually still managed to appear right in front of him! Hong Yang had a rough idea of what was happening. A pair of eyes, filled with killing intent.

 C105

    "People from the City Lord''s Mansion?" Hong Yang''s eyes also instantly turned cold! He coldly snorted and said.


    Although the order to strangle Brothel Gang was given by the person in charge, Luo Yansheng did not even know where it was! Therefore, the biggest possibility for him to take Guan Changyang to the City Lord''s Mansion was.


    Then... Everything was made clear. It was very clear that the people from the Brothel Gang were having an affair with people from the City Lord''s Mansion. Guan Changyang was fine, it was Luo Yansheng''s martial path foundation that had been destroyed, and the cultivation in his dantian had become a cripple instead.


    "Forget it, just treat it as me seeing the wrong person." Luo Yansheng laughed bitterly, then said: "My house is outside of the city, on another piece of land. For the rest of his life, he will be ordinary, but he will not have to travel back and forth for the matters of the merchant caravan. "


    Hong Yang finally understood why the order to strangle Brothel Gang was issued by the Taiyi Sect and not someone from the City Lord''s Mansion!


    In other cities, if someone from the Taiyi Sect appeared, naturally, the City Lord''s Mansion would not dare interfere. If it was Hua Chi City, Ma Chengfeng was not interested in this kind of thing. But for a small fry like Luo Yansheng, he would naturally not put it in his eyes.


    Luo Yansheng jumped in fright, and immediately said: "Forget it. Inside the City Lord''s Mansion, there are two strong practitioners of Earth Origin Stage! If we go, that would be the same as courting death. "


    Then he paused and gathered up his courage, saying, "Of course, if the master who saved you made his move that day, there might be hope. To be able to fly in the air, is at least an expert of eighth rank or above. "


    Hong Yang slightly narrowed his eyes, as he also let out a bitter laugh. He naturally did not care about people from the City Lord''s Mansion. The most important thing was whether or not he could persuade Ma Chengfeng to stand up for him.


    Chen Yan and him, did not say that they were people of Taiyi Sect! If not, they would have directly sent Guan Changyang to the Blue Lotus Institution, and even if it was Chen Ming who attacked, he would have easily crippled him.


    Amongst the Blue Lotus Institution, the highest ranked cultivation was naturally Ma Chengfeng, who already had the strength half a step into the Heaven Origin. And the following words, it was said that Hong Yang''s eldest senior brother, Chen Su, had even reached the Earth Origin Stage of a cultivation.


    "Although I know that person, I might not be able to say it clearly." Hong Yang looked at him and said: "However, I can tell you this right now, I am someone from the Taiyi Sect."


    "W-what?" Luo Yansheng was immediately shocked, and looked at Hong Yang in shock: "You are someone from the Taiyi Sect?"


    He was stunned for a moment, then realized something and sighed, "No wonder. The cultivation s, can only have Taiyi Sect. "


    The only one with Taiyi Sect in Huajia City was Ma Chengfeng. Because Ma Chengfeng was already a cultivation with half a step into the Heaven Origin. Even if he was within the Taiyi Sect, he still had the qualifications to become a Law Enforcing Elder.


    "If it is possible, I will naturally help you deal with it." Hong Yang was silent for a while, and in the end, couldn''t take it anymore, "But ¡­ Three days later, I have something that I need to go to the Taiyi County capital for, and I might not be able to return for a very long time. I wonder if you can wait for this time? "


    "If that''s the case, then forget it. In a month''s time, I have already gone home to work as a farmer. " The light in Luo Yansheng''s eyes also disappeared instantly.


    He really couldn''t wait one month. And even if he had a month''s time, it was impossible for Hong Yang to raise his Earth Origin Stage''s strength.


    "Take this for now." Hong Yang was quiet for a moment, then he took out a few hundred gold coins from his bag: "If it''s possible, I will help you settle this matter."


    His heart was already filled with indignation! However, three days later, he had to head to the Taiyi County to participate in the selection. He naturally understood this point.


    because of the matter with Luo Yansheng, he naturally would not delay his journey to Taiyi Sect.


    Luo Yansheng was silent for a moment, and did not reject. Hundreds of gold coins were enough for him to spend for a year! Furthermore, he would not participate in the business of the caravan for the rest of his life, so he was afraid that he would not be able to continue living the rest of his life.


    Bidding farewell to Luo Yansheng. Hong Yang was immediately prepared to return to the Blue Lotus Institution. He had to leave the day after tomorrow. If he really wanted to do it, he had to hurry.


    Returning to the Blue Lotus Institution, it was still the afternoon. Just as she entered, she saw WeiSheng, who was slowly brandishing the sword arts in the middle of the courtyard.


    Her comprehension of the Dust Sword Arts, had already comprehended one of its forms! A smooth sword intent was emitted from the longsword, it was actually the same as the one Hong Yang had evolved from.


    It was just that after the first form had finished evolving, she only danced the second form for a moment before the sword intent unconsciously dissipated. She continued to wave her sword a few more times before finally stopping. She looked at the sword in her hand with a bit of distress.


    The bottom of his heart slightly moved, Hong Yang had already comprehended four of these moves! On the other hand, WeiSheng had only comprehended a single move.


    "Flourishing as a feather, Dancing Snow." Hong Yang smiled as he looked at WeiSheng, and said indifferently: "The second style highlights lightness, but it has the power to open and close. That should be the case right? "


    WeiSheng''s entire body trembled, she then turned her head and looked at Hong Yang in surprise. Hong Yang ignored WeiSheng''s gaze and focused slightly. He casually plucked a tree branch from the side and started to wave it.


    Sword intent was originally sharp! If he were to use the branches, it would only make him invisible. However, what WeiSheng lacked right now was precisely this kind of "god."


    Hong Yang''s comprehension of the Dust Sword Arts had long ago reached the fourth form. Only in the fifth stance did he encounter a bottleneck. To WeiSheng, who had only reached the second style, it was simply impossible.


    In just seven days, the gap was already this wide.


    After the entire set of sword arts was finished, Hong Yang did not brandish it to the third move, but only finished the second move before stopping. To WeiSheng, digesting it bit by bit was actually better.


    This matter had only happened three times. When Ma Chengfeng had first passed down the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder to Hong Yang, he had only been able to carefully evolve it three times! However, even if it was so, and only evolved once, forget about WeiSheng, even if Hong Yang wanted to memorize everything, it would be somewhat difficult.


    As he continued to look at Hong Yang''s Dust Sword Arts, WeiSheng''s face became more and more enlightened! After Hong Yang finished trapping her body with sword arts, she was completely immersed in it, just like how she had seen Ma Chengfeng perform back then.


    What Hong Yang had said, was already deeply engraved in the bottom of her heart! She pondered for a moment, then raised his sword again, directly slashing the sky.


    Immediately following that, a whole set of sword arts was slowly unleashed, without the slightest bit of procrastination! Hong Yang''s words immediately sobered WeiSheng up.

 C106

    Finally ¡­ The second style of Dust Sword Arts was also completely executed by WeiSheng.


    Gradually withdrawing from that ethereal state, he slowly retracted his sword and stood still. WeiSheng even looked at her own hands in disbelief!


    It was already very difficult for her to enter that ethereal state for the second time. However, the feeling of the second style of the Dust Sword Arts, was deeply imprinted in her heart.


    "You''ve already comprehended the second move?" When she saw Hong Yang, she couldn''t help but cry out involuntarily, "This, it has only been seven days."


    "I only managed to comprehend it last night." Hong Yang laughed, and said helplessly. If WeiSheng were to know that she had already comprehended four moves, wouldn''t her eyeballs immediately pop out?


    Seeing WeiSheng''s expression of disbelief, if it was because she had comprehended it last night, then it would definitely be an extremely shallow and crude technique. And looking at Hong Yang''s appearance, she looked exactly the same as the person who had comprehended the essence of the technique for the past few years!


    Ye Zichen smiled awkwardly, then decided to change the topic. He then told her everything that had happened in the Hua Chi City.


    After hearing all of this, WeiSheng''s eyes almost spouted fire. She coldly said: "To think that someone from the City Lord''s Mansion would collude with the Brothel Gang! I never thought that Xiao Qing would actually be this kind of person. "


    Xiao Qing was naturally the name of the City Lord of Huajia City! Hong Yang had also stayed in the Hua Chi City before, so he naturally understood.


    Every city''s governor would change after a few years. Either he was transferred or he was promoted. And this Xiao Qing had only just taken up his post three years ago.


    "You don''t seem to be too familiar with this mayor?" After Hong Yang heard this, he was slightly surprised. "We have stayed here for three years, so we should at least know a little about each other."


    As the only sect within the Taiyi County, most people would go extremely close to people from the City Lord''s Mansion! However, WeiSheng slowly frowned and said helplessly: "Master usually does not allow me to interact with people from the City Lord''s Mansion. All of this seems to be the responsibility of Chen Ming and Chen Su. "


    Chen Su and Chen Ming, in other words, they were the head and second disciples of Ma Chengfeng. Chen Ming was a little better, but Chen Su was already a cultivation with Earth Origin Stage, so even he had not seen many of WeiSheng''s.


    Earth Origin Stage, this kind of strength was already enough to rival Xiao Wucheng''s! Xiao Wucheng''s fighting strength was definitely one of the best in terms of Earth Origin Stage. Compared to this, Chen Su''s strength would only be higher.


    "Master will absolutely not step forward in this matter." WeiSheng saw that Hong Yang had gone blank, and continued to speak: "However, if we go to look for Chen Ming, he should agree to it. Master gave us all free time. "


    Ma Chengfeng was not like the other sects, who were strict with their disciples, and never asked them about matters regarding cultivation. At most, he could only give a few pointers when he was interested.


    In his own words, it was that everyone had their own path, and no one else was allowed to interfere.


    If Luo Yansheng''s strength was still there, it was still possible for him to gather the power of all the great merchant groups and pressure the City Lord''s Mansion. However, Luo Yansheng no longer had any strength left, and was simply empty talk.


    "Let''s look for Chen Ming first." Thinking about it, Hong Yang also felt a headache, and could only say: "If the two of us were to go, it would be complete nonsense."


    "I heard it."


    Suddenly, a figure walked out from the forest in front of them. It was Chen Ming.


    WeiSheng''s face lit up, she wanted to say something! However, she noticed that Chen Ming''s expression was not that good and she stopped talking.


    "What? You think this isn''t appropriate?" Hong Yang raised his eyebrows and asked.


    "I advise you not to worry about this matter." Chen Ming said coldly: "I am already crippled with my Brothel Gang! However, City Lord''s Mansion is, after all, a place designated by the imperial family.


    "What''s wrong with being indiscriminate?" Hong Yang replied with a question: "If City Lord''s Mansion and Brothel Gang are really on good terms, releasing Guan Changyang is fine as long as he does not pay attention to Luo Yansheng. Why must you abolish his cultivation s?"


    Although he and Luo Yansheng only knew each other once, they could still be considered to be half friends. Now that his friend had suffered, Hong Yang naturally wanted to make a move.


    "I will only ask you one question. How much do you think a Luo Yansheng is worth in the eyes of City Lord''s Mansion? " Chen Ming suddenly mocked: "People with City Lord''s Mansion have the right to kill those who obstruct them! It is already not bad for them to just erase a foundation in the martial way, and not hack Luo Yansheng into eight pieces. "


    Hong Yang was startled.


    That''s right! No matter whether it was the County Lord''s Mansion or the City Lord''s Mansion, both had the power to kill those who obstructed them! For example, when Xiao Wucheng was using his Yuannan City, he also killed Xing Ren in one move without any hesitation. And in Xiao Wucheng''s opinion, he had only done something insignificant.


    A Luo Yansheng, in the eyes of City Lord''s Mansion, was no different from an ant! To those in the City Lord''s Mansion, there was no need to consider the reason why killing them was enough.


    Thinking about it, Hong Yang also laughed bitterly. Even though he was also from the Taiyi Sect, he was still just a disciple after all. He had even been personally expelled by Ma Chengfeng before! Based on his identity and strength, he simply could not represent the Taiyi Sect of Huajia City at all.


    But if Chen Su and Chen Ming did not appear, then there was practically nothing that could be done. But now, it seemed that the possibility of him trying to move Chen Ming was no different from a fool''s dream.


    "Rather than thinking about this, it''s better to think about the Taiyi Sect selection three days later." Chen Ming said his last sentence in a cold voice. He then waved his sleeve and left.


    Although he did not stop Hong Yang and physically, he had already broken the possibility of Hong Yang going to find the City Lord''s Mansion to reason.


    "Three days later huh ¡­"


    He slowly touched his hands, as he sprinted towards the Peak of Returning Origin Stage! However, it was still quite difficult for one to reach such a level in just a short period of ten days.


    He was almost certain that there would definitely be an expert of Earth Origin Stage in the selection! And the Earth Origin Stage experts that were taught by the Taiyi Sect, were definitely far surpassing ordinary Earth Origin Stage as well.


    It was already difficult for Hong Yang to battle Xiao Lin alone. Although he had the Dust Sword Arts now, if he wanted to defeat the opponent ¡­ It was not an easy matter.


    The bottom of his heart suddenly moved! Hong Yang suddenly thought of a way. Although this method seemed far away, it wasn''t impossible.

 C107

    Five days later.


    Hong Yang''s group also arrived at the Taiyi County capital at the same time! At this point, the news of Taiyi Sect selection had already spread throughout the entire city.


    Aside from Duan Yu, Hong Yang, and WeiSheng, there was a total of five people: Ma Chengfeng and the second disciple Chen Ming, had come to the Taiyi Sect today.


    In terms of Taiyi County, Hua Chi City could be considered to be one of the top cities. The other cities had also sent three people over.


    Of course, there were also some lower ranked cities. This time, they would send two people over just like what Ma Chengfeng did three years ago. There were a total of twenty-eight cities.


    There were twelve cities in the Pine Wind County, and twenty-eight cities in the Taiyi County. There was no way to compare the two.


    When they walked into the place where the Taiyi Sect were stationed, it immediately attracted several gazes! Very quickly, a few familiar faces recognized Ma Chengfeng.


    "Chen Feng!" A light voice sounded. Chen Feng was Ma Chengfeng''s name from the Taiyi Sect.


    Just like Star Moon Sect, no matter who it was, they had to follow this rule. Even the sect head had changed his surname to Wu Chen.


    What was interesting was that many people still used this name after they left. Of course, it was absolutely impossible for someone like Hong Yang who had a profound strength background to do so.


    "So it''s Elder Chen Hui." "Why? Where are your people this time?" Ma Chengfeng said indifferently when he saw that it was him. Then, he glanced behind him and said.


    "If you believe me when I say I chased those little bastards back to avoid losing face for me ¡­" Chen Hui stared at Ma Chengfeng and said. Ma Chengfeng remained expressionless as he calmly asked, "Do you think I would believe you?"


    "Haha, that''s true." Chen Hui''s gaze loosened and he immediately smiled, "The participants of the selection are all gathered inside." Let''s go in together. "


    Hong Yang stood at the side and frowned. From the conversation between him and Ma Chengfeng, it was hard to tell whether there was hatred or gratitude between Ma Chengfeng and his master.


    Ma Chengfeng nodded indifferently, and did not reject it. Those who participated in the selection had arranged for special residences. Usually, he would even provide a large amount of primeval stones and spiritual herbs for cultivation.


    The two of them slowly walked into the interior. The interior was rather spacious. Other than the courtyard, there was also a pavilion.


    Hong Yang''s pupils shrank slightly. This place was filled with spirit medicines and the dense vitality was actually as good as Ma Chengfeng''s Blue Lotus Institution. The others also noticed this and immediately started to breathe heavily.


    That pavilion was naturally where the participants of the selection would live. Ripples of vitality were constantly emitted from within. Hong Yang''s Spiritual Sense wanted to enter to investigate, but was counterattacked a few times by the not weak Spiritual Sense as well.


    He looked at Ma Chengfeng. At this time, ordinary people would at least tell their own disciples what the highest number of cultivation participating in this competition was! After all, Ma Chengfeng''s cultivation had the strength of half a step into the Heaven Origin.


    However, Ma Chengfeng didn''t seem to have that intention.


    He walked to the front of the courtyard, where there were two people. After his name was mentioned, the man looked at Ma Chengfeng with a strange expression, and then said: "Southwest direction, towards the pavilion."


    At this time, Hong Yang finally noticed that in the courtyard, there were a total of seven towers. Aside from the south, there was only one other place.


    Looking towards that pavilion, Hong Yang suddenly felt that something was amiss. However, he couldn''t say what was wrong, so he just stared.


    "There are a total of twenty-eight cities and seven buildings. In that case, there should be twelve rooms in each of the towers, right? " Ma Chengfeng turned and said as he looked at the man.


    There were a total of twenty-eight cities, and naturally each pavilion had four cities. As for each city, they were supposed to send three people over.


    That person laughed strangely and said, "Who said there are 12 rooms? There are only eleven rooms in each loft, go and rob them yourself. "


    The corner of Hong Yang''s mouth twitched. Eleven rooms? That meant that someone had to be expelled.


    "If you can''t get it, you can come to this courtyard and train. There was a Spirit Gathering Array in the room. Although there are no such things in the courtyard, the spiritual energy here is several times richer than in the outside world. "


    When these words came out, the expressions of Hong Yang and the other two all changed! Then, the Spiritual Sense extended out and headed towards the courtyard.


    As expected, a few people were found in a few of the more secretive places in the yard! And from the looks of it, they were all cultivation of the eighth level of Returning Origin Stage.


    When he noticed this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Those who were expelled from other places were all at the eighth level of Returning Origin Stage! Since the three of them were all at the ninth level of Returning Origin Stage, there shouldn''t be any big problems.


    "The attic has three floors. The first and second floors are all identical rooms. There''s a total of eight rooms. " The man continued, "There are a total of three rooms on the third floor. The Essence will be two times richer than the Essence on the second floor."


    Hearing this, Hong Yang''s expression immediately shook! Then, with a change in his gaze, a desire to snatch the three rooms appeared in his eyes.


    The vitality here was dense, and was no longer below that of Blue Lotus Institution! If you were to double the density of the spiritual energy...


    A Spirit Convergence Array was something that only Pill Master with fourth rank and above could do, but it was only the most basic of things. If one were to double the density of this foundation, one would at least need to be at the peak of fourth rank to be able to do it.


    With this Spirit Convergence Array, combined with the cultivation technique Elder Xiaoyao had passed down, wanting to reach the peak of the ninth step was almost inevitable! And for Duan Yu, it was not like there was no other way.


    Even if it was WeiSheng, with the settling of these three rooms, her strength would also greatly increase. It was likely that in the entire Taiyi County, there was no place more suitable for cultivation than this place.


    And only Taiyi Sect would be able to pull out such a stroke.


    "Chen Ming, bring them up." Ma Chengfeng slowly said. Chen Ming was someone who had participated in the previous selection as well, so he naturally knew of some rules.


    Chen Ming accepted the order, and the four of them walked towards the pavilion. Hong Yang looked at the highest point of the pavilion, he could already feel how dense the vitality was there.


    If he forever cultivated in this kind of environment, he was even confident that he would be able to touch the door of third rank within a year!


    "Do you know why Master placed so much emphasis on this selection?"


    Halfway through, Chen Ming suddenly sighed, and then looked at Hong Yang and the other two, and said each word.

 C108

    After hearing what Chen Ming had to say, Hong Yang immediately asked, "Why?"


    This question, was something that had puzzled Hong Yang for a long time! Based on Ma Chengfeng''s character, he should not care so much about these achievements.


    "Do you know what the result of this selection and the reward for first place are?" Chen Ming took a deep breath, staring deadly at Hong Yang, he said.


    Usually, in the selection of Taiyi Sect, the top three would receive extremely generous rewards! However, most of them were just medicinal pellets and techniques. These things, within the Blue Lotus Institution, were never lacking.


    Hong Yang was startled, then he earnestly shook his head, his heart was also slightly surprised. What kind of reward could move Ma Chengfeng''s heart?


    "Four Thunder Styles." A moment later, Chen Ming''s lips slightly rose as he spat out a sentence.


    "Huh?" Hong Yang lost his voice: "Isn''t it the Three Styles of Wind and Thunder? "Where did the fourth move come from?"


    He had learnt Three Styles of Wind and Thunder since he was young! He had always thought that there were only three styles: Thunder, wind, thunder, and thunder. He was now extremely familiar with these three moves, and had even created a sound of wind and thunder that could captivate the mind.


    Now, he was told that there was actually the Four Style of Wind and Thunder! This caused him to be stunned on the spot.


    "Three Techniques Become One, Transformation into Lightning." Chen Ming calmly threw out these words: "Master, he, only said this to me."


    Duan Yu and WeiSheng who were listening at the side also had a face full of shock! Duan Yu was naturally aware of the power of Hong Yang''s Three Styles of Wind and Thunder, but today, he had actually been unable to learn even a single move.


    The phrase "three techniques become one" was enough to explain a lot.


    Chen Ming led them to the front of the pavilion and said: "We have already explained the number of rooms clearly. If he wanted to compete for the room, he would have to ring the doorbell before he could force the person inside out. If you were to interrupt others'' cultivation, you know the consequences. "


    If it was only a simple recovery, then it would naturally be no problem. However, training was a state in which one had to completely immerse themselves in it. They might even be there, forgetting the time.


    Therefore, once someone interrupted his training, it would only take a few days for him to recover from the obstruction of his meridians. If it was heavy, then his dantian would become clogged up, or even explode!


    At that time, there wouldn''t be much of a difference from abolishing the foundation of martial dao.


    After saying this, Chen Ming also indifferently left. Of course, he couldn''t take action in this place. As for how exactly they were going to snatch it, he would have to rely on them.


    "Body turning into lightning huh ¡­"


    Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao, the two of them did not pass down techniques, so Hong Yang did not know what kind of technique this lightning body transformation technique was. However, from the name, one could tell that he was not ordinary.


    He had a faint feeling that this had something to do with the sound of wind and thunder that he had comprehended. And in the entire Taiyi Sect, there were quite a few people who cultivated Three Styles of Wind and Thunder!


    Therefore, to the vast majority of people, this reward was a huge temptation!


    "Let''s go." With a cold laugh, Hong Yang already had the thought of seizing this object!


    Now that he had a half finished Dust Sword Arts, if he added this body transformation thunder technique, his battle power would probably reach a terrifying level! If he stepped into the Earth Origin Stage one day, or even directly stepped into it, it was not impossible.


    All along the way, the two floors up ahead had different cultivation s, but they didn''t see anyone at the seventh level of Origin Returning Stage, they were all at the eighth or even early ninth level of Origin Returning Stage.


    Hong Yang and Duan Yu were still alright, they were both middle stage Origin Returning Stage ninth stage cultivation. She was still only a cultivation with Origin Returning Stage. Among them, most likely she would only be a medium level cultivation.


    Along the way to the third floor. When he felt this, he could feel a type of origin energy that was terrifyingly rich. Hong Yang breathed in a few mouthfuls of air, but on his face, he frowned.


    The reason is simple... There were only two rooms on the second floor that were occupied by others! The third room was empty.


    Earlier, there were already six people below. There were two on the third floor, one on the second floor, and three people on the first floor. In other words, there was still another city that hadn''t arrived yet.


    "How, how do we divide it?" WeiSheng was also dumbstruck. She did not hold much hope in the beginning, but now she was just accompanying Hong Yang and the other two, just to take a look.


    Hong Yang was silent for a long time. After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "Forget it, Duan Yu, you should cultivate first. I''ll go to the other room. "


    After he finished speaking, he wanted to walk away! Duan Yu was startled, this was equivalent to taking a look at a room... Give up to him?


    Hong Yang directly walked to the other side and stayed silent for a while. When his Spiritual Sense scouted inside, it did not affect him at all, and the other party did not push him back either.


    But he did not dare to directly use the Spiritual Sense s, otherwise he would be disqualified! However, this time, he had clearly probed the other party''s cultivation.


    Middle stage of the ninth stage of the Origin Returning Stage, a cultivation just like him.


    He coldly calculated in his heart, that he would be able to fight even with an Earth Origin Stage expert! Although disciples with Taiyi Sect were able to participate, their combat strength would definitely far exceed that of ordinary people. However, the other party was of the same rank as him.


    Within the same level, Hong Yang still had the confidence to defeat his opponent. After all, not everyone had met with inheritances as heaven-defying as the Sky Dragon Devil Sovereign and Elder Xiaoyao.


    He was determined to get this room! He made up his mind. He wanted to press the doorbell.


    "Wait! Why don''t we just take this room... Give it to me? "


    Just as he was about to press down, the bottom of Hong Yang''s heart suddenly moved slightly! Then, he looked towards Duan Yu''s direction.


    Duan Yu''s room was originally empty. But now, a sturdy man stood there, and slowly gazed at Duan Yu, and said with a smile.


    "Why?" Duan Yu also looked at him coldly. With a move of Hong Yang''s thoughts, under the probing of the Spiritual Sense, the other party was actually an existence at the middle of the ninth step as well.


    "Hmm?" Sensing Hong Yang''s Spiritual Sense probing, the man immediately turned around and looked at Hong Yang, and asked in astonishment: "You two are together?"


    Hong Yang did not say a word, which was equivalent to tacit agreement.


    This humble one is Chen Hai from the Heavenly Palace. How about you give this room to me? Just treat it as me owing you a favor. May I ask which city you are from? " Chen Hai smiled slightly and said slowly.


    Hong Yang was still silent, but WeiSheng took the initiative to ask him: "We are the disciples of Huajia City, Ma Chengfeng?"


    "Huaji City?" The man stared blankly for a moment. Then, after thinking for a while, he raised his head and said, "That''s right. Last time, we were unable to gather all three of them. That city that ranked last?"
