Chapter 144 Daming Mansion
Chapter 144 Return to Daming Prefecture
Under the cover of night, the Lan tribe was destroyed.
The two spearmen rode away and headed towards Dangguan City.
The old man who ranked third in the world was quite generous and didn't mind revealing his past events.
"When I was young, I felt that the world was so vast and six Grandmasters were too few. I thought I had a chance to see the realm above the Grandmaster in this lifetime, and even thought it was just a matter of time."
“After I came of age, there was no one in the younger generation who could rival me, but I couldn’t even think about being above the Grand Master. I felt that I would have no regrets in my life if I could stand shoulder to shoulder with those six people.”
"When I reach middle age, except for a few people, I can defeat all the masters in the world with one shot. But I think my hope of becoming a grand master is getting smaller and smaller. I just hope that the heavens will have mercy on me."
"As for now..."
The old man nicknamed Gun King No. 3 laughed at himself.
"I am already satisfied as long as I can defend Dangguan City and maintain the reputation of the Jiuzhou martial arts world."
The night on the grassland gradually faded away, and the city gate was right in front of us.
The Gun King tilted his head and said seriously to the young man beside him: "This city is the key to Yizhou's defense. I have lived here for twenty years. After I die, if the city is breached, please help me once. The three gun skills are my advance payment."
"It was only before the beginning of spring, and I haven't learned your gun skills." Jiang He spoke truthfully. He didn't have the comprehension and foundation to master at a glance. It had only been a few months since he embarked on the path of transcendence, and he had to include the time for world missions. Otherwise, it would have been less than a month at most.
Gun King No. 3 smiled and nodded, "I will write the gun manual right away."
Jiang He agreed to the task, as this matter overlapped with the main task of defending Daming Prefecture. After all, the loss of the flank meant that the Ink Great Wall would be attacked from both sides.
Compared to the first time when the gate was closed, this time the guards saw the figure of Gun King III and immediately opened the front and back gates.
The two men crossed the city.
……
It took half a day to get out of Jianchi Gorge, and another half a day to go south to Daming Prefecture.
Back in the capital city of Yizhou, the number of people from the martial arts world who gathered there exploded, and the night market was packed.
At the same time, a piece of news shocked everyone.
The chief disciple of Wudou Daoist leader and the fifty-four people who followed him were all wiped out, among which the chief disciple was killed by Beiman Longcheng with three punches.
This team of Wudou Taoism was originally escorting the princess back to Daming Prefecture from the capital, but they left the team midway and headed south to block Longcheng. Now they have been reduced to skeletons.
When the martial artists in Daming Prefecture heard the news, they were outraged and went to the local leading martial arts force, the Daming Sect, to request them to organize a heroic gathering to fight against Longcheng. However, the deputy sect leader who held great power disappeared, and the Daming Sect's gates were closed for a while.
In the north of the city, Jiang He rode into the street on horseback.
Among the vendors crowded around, a few immediately turned around and left, becoming inconspicuous in the bustling crowd.
Gun King Three touched his chin and said, "It seems that you are not very popular. Posabu of Daming Mansion and Yanyubu of Yanyu Tower, these two are among the top ten underworld forces. It would give me a headache if I were them. I'll live in your house for the time being." "Okay." Jiang He answered briefly.
Wuhe on his shoulder whispered, "Boss, there are three things. First, the owner of Yanyu Tower took the initiative to find the Yan family and Madam Chen, and roughly figured out the cause and effect. Now Yanyu Tower has issued an assassination order against you."
Jiang He nodded. He had made an appointment with the owner of Yanyu Tower to fight with the initial clues in the death of Young Master Yan. As long as the owner of Yanyu Tower and the Yan family broke the barrier of trust, it would be easy to identify the real murderer. This result was not unexpected. Even if he had to do it ten more times, he would still kill Young Master Yan.
"The second thing is that the Grey Knights' organization Fenglei Baozhuang is in trouble. The sword contest is coming up and all the martial artists from all over the world are gathering here. Jubaolou, which has always been at odds with Fenglei Baozhuang, has stepped up its pressure. To put it simply, they want money and goods."
Wuhe introduced the situation in detail. The Grey Knight was once the eighth best in the world and was famous for his thunder magic. He originally joined the Wudou Taoist Palace and learned all the thunder magic secretly because of his outstanding talent. As a result, the matter was exposed and the Taoist Palace's Grand Elder came forward to punish him, but was humiliated and defeated.
After this incident, the Taoist leader expelled the Grey Knight, and the Supreme Elder chose to commit suicide because of the loss of face. In order to avenge his master, his chief disciple killed all the Grey Knight's servants and maids in the Taoist palace, and was also forced to leave the Taoist palace.
In order to collect resources, the Grey Knight founded Fenglei Treasure Manor. The chief disciple responded by establishing Jubao Tower. Both are organizations that buy and sell rare treasures.
Twenty years have passed since the disappearance of the Grey Knight, also known as Lei Junzi. The branch of Fenglei Baozhuang has been completely devoured, and the headquarters has withdrawn from the capital and moved to the second largest city in the world - Damingfu.
The deputy owner of Jubao Tower, who is the second in command, was ordered to launch the final offensive. He had an ambiguous relationship with Madam Chen in the palace and had connections with Yanyu Tower, so he was in an absolute advantage.
"Boss, you have seen this deputy owner before. He should be the guy who traded ginseng with you." Wuhe said.
"The circle is really small." Jiang He secretly complained. As his strength and status grew, he had met a lot of masters that were rarely seen by ordinary people. No matter the owner of Yanyu Tower or the Gun King III who was beside him, they should have been background characters.
Wu He continued, "The third thing is, after you, Boss, wiped out the Black Prison Bandits, the Yan family immediately invited Dao Chi to live in their home, without giving us any chance."
A large number of masters died in Heilao Mountain, and the Yan family's worship power suffered a serious reduction. In order to prevent the enemy's attack, the head of the Yan family relied on the favor of the Prime Minister and invited one of the four direct descendants of the Taoist master. The eldest disciple of the Taoist Palace died a while ago, and the value of the Taoist Chi is still increasing. Although his strength is not as good as that of a grandmaster, he has a strong background. There is a world of difference between a grandmaster and a grandmaster.
Jiang He found the situation a bit tricky. The Grandmaster's four basic attributes alone had broken through twenty points. Strictly speaking, he was still at the level of the Bronze Age elites, with an entire peak stage in between. There was almost no possibility of a head-on victory.
But it is not impossible to kill them. It depends on whether it is worth it, and the situation may not necessarily develop into the worst case scenario.
When they returned to Pingluanbo's residence, Butler Wu came with servants and maids to greet them, but the number of servants was nearly half less.
"My Lord, all the soldiers in the mansion are gone. I thought you had met with an accident." Butler Wu burst into tears, his acting skills were superb.
"This is my distant relative, he is staying here temporarily."
Jiang He introduced Gun King No. 3 but did not tell him his real identity. According to this guy, as long as the news gets out, the whole street will be filled with people from the martial arts world who want to learn from him.
Gun King Three picked a room with a smile.
"Young Master, the Jianchi Mountain Sword Contest is quite interesting. With your ability, it is more than enough for you to be the champion of the younger generation. If you can learn my spear manual, no one among the grandmasters will be your opponent except me and Long Cheng."
Jiang He didn't have time to chat with the other party. He changed into casual clothes, bowed and said goodbye, then went out, turned left and visited the palace.
