Chapter 95 Aftermath
Han Chuijun left.

Early in the morning of the fourth day of the Rainy Night Battle, under the gazes of many people in Gaoliu County, the convoy escorted by the three big men of Shenbing Valley disappeared at the end of the official road.

"The master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you. One form is easy, ten forms are difficult, and the path of a hundred forms is not for ordinary people. I have practiced hard for a decade to cultivate these hundred forms...

It’s up to you to decide how to choose.”

As he watched the three riders go away, Han Chuijun's voice seemed to still echo in his ears.

"Hyakugata?"

Li Yuan felt his heart burning as he touched the several secret books in his arms. Han Chuijun's words pointed out the way for him and also gave him great ambitions.

He had never thought about mastering dozens of martial arts to perfection.

People like Han Chuijun have been practicing hard for sixty years, but they still seem to have not achieved success, let alone him.

But with the Weapon Control Talisman in his hand, as long as he had enough elixirs and enough fundamental diagrams, he thought that he could cultivate into a hundred forms at a speed beyond imagination!
"Medicine, weapons, and fundamental map!"

Li Yuan was certain.

He glanced at the people who were seeing him off, and saw that some of them were relieved, while many more had joy on their faces.

They didn't dare to covet the things in the Divine Weapon Valley, but the territories left behind after the collapse of more than a dozen forces were far better to them than any gold or silver.

The forces of Chai and Yu Gang were wiped out like a whirlwind, but new Chai and Yu Gangs will still emerge in Gaoliu County.

"Li, Brother Li!"

County lieutenant Liu Bin came over with a group of county officials, smiling:

"Liu is hosting a banquet at Chunfeng Tower tonight. I hope Brother Li will come and enjoy it!"

"Master Liu is too polite."

Glancing at Liu Zheng who looked embarrassed, Li Yuan naturally did not correct Liu Bin's address and nodded in response.

Even if he didn't go, he would still be included when these people divided the territory, but he had to go anyway.

The elixirs for the disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley will not fall from the sky. Without the support of any power, they will be as tight on money as Fang Yunxiu, and the more money the better.

"Then, see you at Chunfeng Tower tonight!"

Liu Bin bowed and said goodbye. The other county officials also greeted him with a smile, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Liu Zheng, Wang Peiyao and other young ladies and gentlemen from the inner city watched from afar, and only dared to come closer after the adults in their families had left.

"Uncle Li~"

Liu Zheng and the others were quite embarrassed, but Wang Peiyao saluted with her throat pinched, and said delicately:
"Don't forget each other when you become rich~"

Everyone was a little stiff at first, but now they all burst into laughter.

Chunfeng Tower, go there at night.

But before noon, Li Yuan had already been dragged to Yizi Restaurant by a group of young ladies and gentlemen. Yue Yunjin and Wu Ming were naturally taken along.

At the wine table, the guests and hosts were all having a great time, except for Miss Lu...

……

After eating and drinking, Li Yuan packed a few bottles of honey water and some cakes, said goodbye to everyone, and hurried back to his second brother's house.

From a distance, he saw a carriage parked outside the alley, and dozens of men dressed as servants were going in and out, carrying various furniture.

Li Lin supported Wang Juan and watched from the side, and the couple's faces were full of joy.

"Second brother?"

Li Yuan walked to the entrance of the alley. Before Li Lin could speak, an old man with a mustache and a felt hat bowed and saluted:

"Master Li, I am the housekeeper of the Yuan family. I am here to help you move your things under the order of the master..."

"The housekeeper of the Yuan family?"

Li Yuan's heart was moved, and Li Lin had already taken out a house deed from his pocket, his eyes red:

"Old Three, we're going home..."

Li Yuan understood, but he tried to stop his second brother from crying:
"Okay, moving is a good thing, why are you crying?"

"It's windy here, take your sister-in-law into the house, and when we're done, we'll go home together."

Urging Li Lin to come in, Li Yuan then bowed:
"Then I'll have to trouble Butler Yuan."

He was planning to buy back the Li family's original old house in a few days. He was a little surprised by Yuan Pingjun's move, but he did not refuse, let alone pay any money or anything.

Accepting gifts is also a way to enhance relationships.

He may not still be in Gaoliu in the future, but his second brother and the weapon forging shop are still there, and he also needs the support of the weapon forging shop. Stability is of course necessary.

"Mr. Li is too polite."

The butler was somewhat flattered:
"My master said that he will host a banquet for you at Chunfeng Tower tonight. Please be sure to come..."

The butler's attitude was extremely respectful, although it was mostly fake. Li Yuan once again clearly felt the change in his status.

Shenbing Valley is the heaven of Zhelong Mansion. In the eyes of the people in the inner and outer cities of Gaoliu, he is now a man who is about to ascend to heaven.

The changes are drastic, but seem to make sense.

……

Just after noon, in the inner city.

The Li family's ancestral home is not big, with only two rooms in front and back.

Li Yuan didn't think anything was wrong, but Li Lin was already crying uncontrollably, pointing at every house, every blade of grass and every tree, muttering non-stop.

It was not until Wang Juan couldn't help but scold him a few times that he stopped crying.

The ancestral house had obviously been vacated not long ago and every corner had been cleaned. Li Lin moved in directly, while Li Yuan refused the Yuan family's kindness to help him move and went to clean up the house himself.

Four quilts, a pair of tables and chairs, a pile of pots and pans, and a little mouse.

Li Yuan moved very smoothly, but before leaving, he still left a note for Fatty Sun.

"After being gone for so many days, this fat guy should be back by now, right?"

Holding the little mouse, Li Yuan shook his head.

Yesterday, he also asked about Tang Tong's whereabouts.

Just as he expected, Tang Tong did fall into the hands of the Divine Weapon Valley. They even sent people to invite a doctor from nearby to treat his injuries. However, his injuries were quite serious and he did not recuperate after the injury. He died after holding on for a few months.

Considering that Sun Hao cooperated very well and was already dead, Han Chuijun did not pursue the matter too much and released Sun Hao's sister.

But Fajiu Mountain is so big that there is no way to notify Sun Hao.

……

Huhu~
It is very cold in the mountains in late autumn.

"Sister, brother-in-law..."

Sun Hao leaned against a big tree with difficulty, chewing dry food with lifeless eyes. Having lost nearly 100 pounds, he was no longer considered fat.

He shrank his hands and feet, feeling cold all over. He returned empty-handed again, and his heart sank.

"The Viper Gang..."

Fatty Sun was chewing a steamed bun with big mouthfuls, feeling furious in his heart, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound. He was startled and quickly dived into the thick dead leaves in the forest.

The stench of rotting leaves almost made him spit out the steamed bun he hadn't swallowed yet, but he dared not move.

"The incense master is dead..."

In the dense forest, a slightly hoarse voice sounded: "What a Han Chuijun! All the hard work over the years has been in vain..."

"The other nine incense halls are all safe and sound. It's just our bad luck that we ran into Han Chuijun! What a ghost-faced Shura!"

Through the dead leaves, Fatty Sun could vaguely see two men in gray. He felt a chill in his heart and dared not even breathe.

"Han Chuijun is gone!"

In the dense forest, Xu Feng wiped the cold iron knife with a cold look in his eyes:
"Several years of planning have failed. We will surely die if we go back."

"What else can we do if we don't leave? Can we take over Gaoliu County with just a few of us?"

The other swordsman just shook his head. He just wanted to leave:

"There's no way to survive if we go back. At worst, we can turn to Zhaixing Tower. The world is so big, is there no place for us to stay?"

"Do you think it's so easy to get into the Star Picking Tower?"

Xu Feng sneered:

"Our only way to survive is to find the secret room left by Cao Yan. As long as we have a famous weapon, we can buy our lives!"

"Cao Yan is dead, and his head is still hanging on the city gate. Where are you going to find his secret room?"

"Without Han Chuijun, where can we go in Gaoliu County?"

Xu Feng's eyes were fierce:

"Even if we have to turn Gaoliu County upside down, we must find the secret room!"

Huhu~
The wind was whistling, and the two men left one after another.

Fatty Sun didn't dare to move in the dead leaves. He waited until it was getting dark and he was almost frozen to death. Then he carefully pushed aside the grass and quickly ran back to the city.

……

……

At night, Gaoliu City was pitch black and silent. Only the Chunfeng Tower was brightly lit. The aroma of wine, meat, and cosmetics could be smelled across the street.

Liu Bin held a banquet and invited the leaders of the few remaining forces in the inner and outer cities, and Li Yuan was among them.

The banquet was lackluster, but the intimidation of the Divine Weapon Valley was enough to shock these old foxes. The intrigues that Li Yuan had expected did not occur, and he took over the business of the weapon forging shop.

He successfully thought that everyone at the table was a humble gentleman.

"Old Han took action this time. If these people don't die, there will be no trouble."

Li Yuan sighed in his heart and became more determined.

Money and power are good things, but strength is the foundation of life. When Han Chuijun is not around, these people still have to treat him with respect, even though he has not formally become their disciple.

The negotiations went very smoothly, and all of Li Yuan's preparations and guesses came to nothing, but this was naturally a good thing.

It was another banquet where both the guests and the hosts enjoyed themselves.

Li Yuan drank so much honey water that he was almost full before the party ended.

"Brother Li, take my carriage back!"

Declining Liu Bin's enthusiasm, Li Yuan waved his hand and said goodbye to go home. From a distance, he could see lights on in the ancestral home and voices could be heard.

"Ok?"

Li Yuan pushed open the half-open courtyard door and saw the gray-clothed swordsmen who were tied up tightly in the shadow of the door. What surprised him was that one of them actually had a third-level cold iron sword?

"Junior Brother Li, are you having fun in Chunfeng Tower?"

In the main room, Li Lin was accompanying Sha Pingying, who was slightly tipsy and holding a chicken leg with a greasy mouth.

"Brother Sha? What are you doing?"

Li Yuan glanced at the two people: "Are they the ones who slipped through the net of the Evil God Cult?"

Wow, each one is better at fishing than the other...

Before Sha Pingying answered, Li Yuan had already guessed it. He looked around and asked, "Where is the master?"

"These two small fish are not worth Mr. Han's efforts. Should he leave?"

Sha Pingying also looked around, not quite sure.

Based on his understanding of this old man Han, he is very likely to make a comeback. When it comes to fishing, he is still a novice, while the other man is an expert.

“Will there be any fish that slip through the net?”

Li Yuan took the third-level cold iron knife in his hand, weighed it slightly, and handed it to Sha Pingying.

"It should be gone, right? It doesn't matter if it is. I have to clean it up for you before I leave!"

Sha Pingying took the cold iron knife and turned it around, but immediately handed it back:

"I don't use knives. If you like it, keep it. If you don't like it, sell it. Just consider it a meeting gift from me!"

"Why are you so embarrassed?"

Li Yuan casually hung the knife on his waist, so quickly and decisively that Sha Pingying's mouth twitched. After looking at him for several times, he found that he might have underestimated this junior brother who had not yet joined the sect.

"boom!"

Suddenly, Sha Pingying swung down with a stick:
"If you pretend to be dead again, I will really beat you to death!"

The blow was very heavy. Xu Feng felt his eyes go dark and he almost fainted. He gasped for air and his face turned blue.
“Sha Pingying! You are a disciple of a famous sect, but you actually launched a sneak attack. You actually, actually…”

Xu Feng was a little confused.

After the rainy night, they waited for four full days. Today, they saw them leaving the city with their own eyes, and then waited for another whole day before tentatively entering the city.

Unexpectedly, before he could do anything, he was ambushed by Sha Pingying and his men and captured in one fell swoop.

"Nonsense, no need to say more. Apart from you, how many people are there in Gaoliu County from the Evil God Cult?"

The long iron stick hit Xu Feng's chest. Sha Pingying struck without mercy. Li Yuan standing by even heard the sound of bones breaking.

"Pooh!"

Xu Feng spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and was about to get angry when he heard the sound of breaking wind in the night. With two "plops", several people were thrown into the yard:
"It seems that these are the only small fish."

A voice was heard in the night wind.

"puff!"

After being hit by another stick, Xu Feng coughed up blood and looked miserable:
"Han Chuijun!"
