Chapter 92: Meeting an old friend late at night
The shopkeeper was holding a bellyband in his hand, and his expression was more confused than anyone else's.

For a moment, it was difficult to neither throw it away nor take it.

He never dreamed that he was just watching a lively event, but how could he become the one who became the one in the lively event?
Just when he was at a loss as to what to do, a long sword was already placed on his neck.

I saw a girl snatching the bellyband from his hand with a face full of shame and anger, and said with gritted teeth:
"Okay, I'll tell you how a horse can steal a girl's personal belongings...

"So someone instigated it. You... you are so brave!!"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that his legs went limp:
"Unfair...unfair, lady!

“I don’t know…I don’t know what’s going on.

"This horse, this horse... doesn't belong to a villain!!"

"If it's not yours, why would it give this... this thing to you?"

The girl was so angry that her face turned green.

The group of people around her who were watching the fun made her even more angry.

If she hadn't figured out the truth, she would have wanted to kill the shopkeeper right now.

The shopkeeper felt that this divine pot that fell from the sky was really heavy, and he didn't know how to explain it.

Chu Qing was a little amused and helpless when he saw this. This Brother Bai was really causing trouble. Which kind of female hero was he causing trouble for?
He turned his head and glanced at Biancheng, thinking about asking this gentle second brother to help the shopkeeper out of trouble...

Then I heard a voice coming hurriedly:

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

"Miss, please show some mercy. This matter has nothing to do with the shopkeeper."

The one who came with the voice was naturally Cao Qiupu, the man on the white horse and the golden sword.

The crowd was dense, and it was troublesome for him to squeeze through, so he simply used his lightness skills to step on the shoulders of the crowd.

When he arrived, he bowed and apologized.

The girl was not alone. There were several other girls dressed similarly around her. It was obvious that they were from the same family.

His originally angry expression gradually became strange after Cao Qiupu's eloquent explanation.

The shopkeeper was also stunned by what he heard.

In the end, the girl seemed to accept this explanation, mainly because Cao Qiupu was well-known and everyone knew he was a hero and would not be so mean and despicable.

I just told him not to condone this lustful horse's violence, and if it happens again, I will never forgive him.

Of course, Li Hanguang's name became famous throughout the world once again because of this.

Cao Qiupu thanked him profusely, his forehead covered with sweat.

The shopkeeper also managed to save his life and wanted to give Cao Qiupu two jars of wine to express his gratitude.

Cao Qiupu was determined not to accept it… For one thing, this incident was caused by him in the first place, and the shopkeeper had suffered a disaster out of nothing, so how could he let others take his things again?
Secondly, if the wine is given today, wouldn’t Brother Bai be more certain that the bellyband can be exchanged for wine?

Then this horse will be completely useless from now on.

The excitement faded and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Chu Qing smiled and was about to go back to the inn, but Cao Qiupu turned around and happened to meet Chu Qing's eyes.

“Third brother!!”

Cao Qiupu was suddenly very excited.

It was too late for Chu Qing to retreat, and he could only watch him lead the white horse to him:

"Third brother, I haven't seen you in Qingxi Village for a few days. How are you?"

"Fortunately, I haven't seen Mr. Cao for a few days. He is more elegant than before."

Having said this, he glanced at the white horse:
"Brother Bai is still so energetic."

Cao Qiupu felt a headache when he heard this and sighed helplessly:

"Don't mention this troublemaker. He just offended the heroine of Wenxiang Academy...

"Fortunately, he is a man of high character and doesn't bother with it.

“Otherwise it would be unthinkable.”

Brother Bai was snorting with anger, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Chu Qing suddenly realized that the girls were actually disciples of Wenxiang Academy.

Wenxiang Academy is not a famous sect, and is not as good as Taiyi Sect and Yanyu Tower.

At first, there were only women in the sect. Later, for some unknown reason, the dean came to his senses and began to recruit male disciples, which led to the current two academies for men and women.

However, the two academies have always been at odds, but because their strengths are almost the same, no one is willing to rashly start a war.

This maintained the superficial peace.

There are at least eighty forces like Wenxiang Academy in Nanling, if not a hundred.

Scattered everywhere, like stars.

The forces in this underworld are so complicated that it is difficult to follow fixed rules.

If we force a classification, we often distinguish them by gangs and sects.

The gang is powerful, has a complex personnel structure and many subordinates.

Because of their heritage, sects often have more powerful martial arts and stronger cohesion, but the power they occupy is often smaller than that of gangs.

But there are also large sects that have conquered surrounding gangs and used the gangs to protect their sects.

On the contrary, if the gang is powerful, the sect will also be intimidated by the gang.

It's nothing more than the east wind overwhelming the west wind.

However, the world has been in chaos for a long time, and it is rare that a balance has been maintained until now.

Above, there are the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to suppress the eight directions, and below, the system is intricately connected and a single move can affect the entire body.

This also led to the long-term decay of the Divine Sword Hall, but the four parties were always cautious about it and unwilling to start a war easily.

Take Tianwu City for example. If the Qingye Sword was not related to the inheritance of Wanye Valley, Gu Qianqiu would not have rashly attacked Tianwu City.

Today, Wanye Valley and Shensha Gang exist in name only.

This is the best opportunity for Wu Ganqi to expand his power, but there are also many obstacles along the way.

These obstacles come from the fact that people from all sides are watching closely, the lack of manpower, and the possibility of losing sight of the big picture if they take over rashly, etc.

It’s hard to say that it can be achieved overnight.

Although the Divine Sword Hall caused such a big commotion this time, no one from Tianwu City came to Divine Sword City.

The main reason is that Wu Ganqi simply has no time at the moment.

After chatting with Cao Qiupu for a while, he introduced Mo Duxing and Biancheng from Taiyi Sect to him.

Only then did Cao Qiupu say goodbye and leave.

Chu Qing didn't try to keep him either. When two people meet in the martial arts world, it's better to stop at the right time.

If Cao Qiupu hadn't seen it, Chu Qing wouldn't even want to meet him.

Bian Cheng looked at Cao Qiupu who left with the white horse, and turned to Chu Qing and said:

"A white horse walks alone on the road of rivers and lakes, and a golden sword cuts down evil spirits for thousands of miles.

"Third Young Master, listen to my advice. It is better not to get too close to this person."

Chu Qing looked at Biancheng in surprise:
"Brother Bian, what you said..."

Biancheng laughed and said:

"Cao Qiupu is indeed a chivalrous man with a kind heart.

"However, this person is often involved with trouble. Wherever he is, there will be disputes."

At this point, he paused slightly:
"Hahaha, but I just said this. It's good that Third Young Master knows it. I am just talking too much."

"No, Brother Bian treats me with sincerity, and I am grateful to him."

Chu Qing clasped his fists slightly.

Bian Cheng looked at Chu Qing deeply:
"There's no need to be so polite between you and me."

He and Chu Fan are fellow disciples. Chu Fan really misses his third brother. Every time he and his eldest brother go out, Chu Fan asks them to help find him.

It was precisely because they could always see the portraits that Chu Fan had drawn for Chu Qing that Bian Cheng was so impressed with him. Just by looking at the twelve-year-old Chu Qing in the portrait, they could connect him with the current Chu Qing.

So much so that he recognized Chu Qing's identity at a glance.

Chu Qing nodded slightly and was about to return to the inn with everyone else, but suddenly saw another group of people in the crowd.

This group of people was very special. They had cold expressions, tattered clothes, and all of them had their faces covered.

Some carried coffins on their backs, and some had straw mats around their waists.

Wherever they passed, no matter they were gangsters or ordinary people, they all tried to keep their distance from them as much as possible.

"Buried corpse!"

Bian Cheng's pupils contracted slightly.

Mo Duxing's face also showed a solemn expression, and he finally sighed:
“The chaos in Divine Sword City has arrived, and even the corpse burial people have heard the news and are moving.

"There are still two days until the Tianxia Yipin Conference...but I don't know what will happen on that day."

Everyone stopped looking and turned back to the inn.

Chu Qing did not go out that day. He just rested in the room, practiced martial arts, or went to Bian Cheng and Mo Duxing to chat with Wenrou.

Therefore, various news are always heard.

There are too many people of all kinds in the city. Either one is having a conflict with another, or someone is killing someone in the street.

The way for the buried people to enter the city was not so smooth.

Many people avoid them as much as possible and want to drive them out.

After all, their appearance often means heavy casualties and rivers of blood.

However, the undertaker remained unmoved.

They even fought each other, but although the corpse-buriesers did not participate in the disputes, they were not weak among themselves, so it was difficult for these people in the martial arts world to do anything to them.

Finally, they united together and wanted the Divine Sword Hall to step in and drive them out of the Divine Sword City.

As a result, the people from the Divine Sword Hall refused on the grounds that "the World's No. 1 Conference welcomes guests from all directions".

It means that no matter who the other party is, as long as they come to Shendao City, they can participate in this event.

In the end, this matter had to come to nothing.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

As night fell, Chu Qing was sitting in the room meditating.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of fighting on the street.

Chu Qing didn't want to intervene, but suddenly he heard someone shouting:
"There was no hatred between you and me in the past, and there is no hatred today, so why are you forcing each other so hard?"

When Chu Qing heard the voice, he instantly recognized its origin.

He immediately went to the window and pushed it open a crack, then saw a crowd of people on the street, all of them girls.

A man shuttled through the crowd and fought with others, rushing left and right in the formation. Each move he made was extremely powerful.

Although these girls were helped by the formation, they were still overwhelmed for a while.

Chu Qing only took a glance, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

This group of girls turned out to be disciples of Yanyu Tower, led by Du Hanyan.

This was not enough to surprise Chu Qing. What really surprised Chu Qing was that the person fighting with them... was actually Dong Xingzhi!
But his appearance now is completely different from what it was a few days ago.

There was a look of arrogance between his eyebrows, and there was a streak of purple between his eyebrows, about half an inch long, standing there like a third eye.

Whether he attacks with his claws or palms, the power is extraordinary.

It is far from comparable to Qingxi Village.

"It's only been a few days since we last met, how come you've changed so much?"

Chu Qing was amazed for a moment. They had guessed that day that there must be something in the secret room of Qingxi Village that was taken by Dong Xingzhi and Dong Yubai.

But what is there in this world that can completely transform a person in such a short period of time?
Isn't this too bizarre?
"Hard to push each other?"

Dong Xingzhi's slightly weird voice sounded, followed by a loud laugh. He shook his hands, and a burst of internal energy spread in all directions.

The disciples of Yanyu Tower were pushed by this force and lost their balance for a moment, stumbling backwards.

Dong Xingzhi stood tall and spoke proudly:
“That day in Qingxi Village, you looked down on me.

"Don't you think that I, Dong Xingzhi, can't see it?
"Now that I have mastered martial arts, I will let you know how powerful I am!!"

Could this person be a three-year-old child?
How dare you be so naive?

Moreover, when they were in Qingxi Village, even if Du Hanyan, Cao Qiupu, and Chu Qing looked down on Dong Xingzhi and Dong Yubai, wasn't it Dong Yubai who provoked them everywhere?

Even so, Chu Qing did not really attack them.

Always treat each other with courtesy.

Why do you have to show others how powerful you are now?
Du Hanyan was also very angry. She met Dong Xingzhi by chance outside Shendao City.

In view of the fact that they had only met once in Qingxi Village, and the fact that Dong Xingzhi was in a hurry to leave at that time and did not expect to return, he thought of chatting with Qian Qian.

Unexpectedly, Dong Xingzhi suddenly started fighting with them before they could even say a few words.

Du Hanyan was not afraid of him at first, but she didn't expect that after a fight, she would be no match for him.

Even if they formed a battle formation to meet the enemy, they were still at a disadvantage.

Seeing that Dong Xingzhi wanted to kill them, Du Hanyan just took her fellow apprentice sisters and fled.

He fled all the way to Shendao City, but was stopped by Dong Xingzhi.

Then he asked him why he was forcing him so hard.

The result is good... that's it?
"You are really... outrageous!!"

Du Hanyan said angrily:

"Do you really think that our Yanyu Tower is easy to bully?"

"Is not it?"

Dong Xingzhi laughed loudly, and his feet suddenly changed. In a few steps, his figure appeared and disappeared, and he appeared directly in front of Du Hanyan.

Du Hanyan reached out and grabbed it, then pointed with her finger.

Her fingertips landed on Dong Xingzhi's palm, but the force was like a drop in the ocean. He grabbed her wrist with his backhand and pulled her into his arms.

"Senior Sister!!"

"Let go of Senior Sister!!"

The disciples of Yanyu Tower were immediately furious.

Dong Xingzhi grabbed Du Hanyan's neck, leaned in between her hair and took a deep breath:
"What a nice smell! You are indeed beautiful. My stupid nephew is stupid in every way except that he has a good taste in women.

"It's a pity that a beautiful woman like you can never be his.

"Du Hanyan, how about we make a deal?

"I can let the other people from Yanyu Tower go today, but you have to come with me!"

"fart!"

"How ridiculous! Let my senior sister go, and let us have a good fight with you!"

"Don't agree to him, Senior Sister. He is a toad wanting to eat swan meat."

Du Hanyan was captured by him and felt that the meridians in her body were restricted everywhere. Only then did she realize that this man was still hiding his skills in the previous fight.

I am not even his match. If these junior sisters continue to show off their strength, they will probably die today.

The best plan for now is to stabilize Dong Xingzhi.

Wait until my fellow sisters are out of danger, and then we’ll fight them to the death.

Thinking of this, she was about to pretend to be polite when a voice suddenly came:
"I haven't seen you for a few days, Senior Dong, you are really impressive.

"You're thinking of letting the senior sister of Yanyu Tower go with you, what do you want to do next?
"God?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a swordsman in green standing on the flagpole with his hands behind his back and his hair flying.

Du Hanyan looked up in astonishment:
"Third Young Master?"
