Chapter 158 Too Rampant
Late at night, Li Yuan decisively did not wait any longer. He paid the bill and went back to the weapon forging shop.

"call!"

After arranging Yu Jin and the other three to stay in the next room, Li Yuan returned to his room, closed the door, and then began to read the information on Wang Peiyao by the light of an oil lamp.

A lot of things happened in the city during the past six months. Of the original six major families, only four are left now. After the Zhao family, another major family was destroyed because of a blood sacrifice, which was done by Duanmu Sheng himself.

"Even in the capital city, someone dares to hold a blood sacrifice. The evil god cult is really unscrupulous."

Li Yuan flipped through the intelligence and was shocked by the audacity of the families in the capital city. He also felt that these families, including the Evil God Cult, were not meticulous in their actions.

However, thinking about the Divine Weapon Valley, he felt relieved.

"They are all makeshift teams."

Li Yuan sighed in his heart.

No matter how big a system is, it is made up of people, and people have their own little tricks, which cannot be controlled.

"I guess Tiger has other things to do when he comes down the mountain this time, so shopping is probably an excuse."

Putting away the information, Li Yuan stretched his muscles, controlled the 'Fundamental Diagram of the Spiritual Ape Spear Technique', used the hammer as a spear, and pushed it slowly.

Even when he was being watched by Lao Lei and Lao Hu to forge a top-grade inner armor, during the busiest month, he did not forget to improve his bones.

More than half a month ago, he had already developed the 'Tiger Power', changed to Bear Paw and Tiger Tail, and his basic skeletal structure had reached Form Fifteen.

But he found that after the big dragon shape was changed, the changes of two more shapes were not as obvious as before, or in other words, it had not reached the next node yet.

"call!"

"call!"

Li Yuan moved slowly, his hammer was as strong as a spear. Although he did not have the blessing of 'lifting heavy things as if they were light' at the moment, he had already grasped the essence of lifting heavy things as if they were light.

After years of practice, he finally integrated the control effect into himself. This is what he has been trying to do, and he has actually achieved it.

"The division into small dragon form, dragon form, and large dragon form makes sense. Every time you cross a node, your own innate talent will undergo a transformation. So, the next node will be the twentieth form? Or the twenty-sixth form?"

Li Yuan was also guessing about Xu Tui's spear skills in his heart.

The book on root bone theory left by Old Han did not mention it, so he could only try to figure it out on his own.

Call ~
After a long time, Li Yuan put down the hammer, changed his grip and began to slowly push the soldiers forward.

With the combined blessing of many hammer skills, his hammer skills also improved by leaps and bounds. The Bingdao Fighting Hammer, which is known as the most difficult and superior martial art to practice among the five great secret martial arts, has also reached the point of perfection.

"Once you have mastered the hammer technique, you can use the ultimate killer move, the 'Fighting Hammer'!"

There are eighty-one fighting methods for the Bingdao Fighting Killing Hammer, but only one killing move. Among the dozens of disciples in the Hammer Weapon Hall, only one-third have mastered this killing move.

And all of them are old disciples who have been in the sect for more than fifteen or twenty years.

It took him just over a year.

"call!"

After practicing several sets of military postures, Li Yuan stopped, shook off the sweat with his internal energy, then wiped himself off casually and swallowed a few blood-enhancing pills to warm his blood.

"what!"

Suddenly, Li Yuan's heart moved, and footsteps were heard outside the yard.

"This is?"

Li Yuan pushed open the door and saw Yu Jin and his four companions rushing out with swords in hand.

"There are shouts of killing in the city!"

Yu Jin lowered his voice and held the knife in one arm: "Xiao Li might attract assassins if he goes down the mountain. Let's work hard tonight and don't sleep."

"Ok!"

"it is good!"

Several old soldiers nodded. Although there were shouts and screams in the city, none of them had the slightest intention of going to check it out.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu, Mr. Fang, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Zhang."

Li Yuan bowed and thanked him. He naturally had no intention of investigating, but he suspected that this matter was related to Jing Shuhu.

The tiger never comes down the mountain all year round, so it must have something to do if it suddenly comes down.

"We are guarding outside, you can just go to sleep."

Yu Jin jumped onto the roof, looked around at the night, and raised his eyelids slightly. The shouting and screaming seemed to come from the government office?

"Thank you, Mr. Yu."

Li Yuan thanked him again, without saying any more polite words, and turned back to the house.

The news that he had used a top-grade famous weapon caused a sensation for many days and caused many changes. Not to mention the many inner and outer sect disciples, the attitudes of the many guardians, Master Zhang, and even Yu Jin had changed a lot.

"A divine craftsman?"

After blowing out the light, Li Yuan lay down with his clothes on, knowing the reason in his heart.

There has not been a master craftsman in the Divine Weapon Valley for seven hundred years, but the importance of the master craftsman is known to everyone. This can be seen from the fact that the Wanchuan lineage has been in and out of the Divine Weapon Valley many times.

Even though the previous generation's Grand Elder of the Weapon Casting Valley died of depression because of them, no one dared to take real revenge.

only……

"I must first have a divine craftsman's hammer before I can become a divine craftsman!"

Muttering to himself, Li Yuan slowly closed his eyes.

……

There was no conversation that night and Li Yuan slept soundly. He found that his sleep quality was getting better and better. He felt restless after four hours and could not fall asleep again.

However, he rarely got up. Instead, he lay lazily until dawn before getting up.

"It's rare to stay in bed."

Li Yuan lay there for a long time before he stood up and assumed a soldier's posture, then fetched some water and washed himself.

In the yard, Yu Jin and others were squatting and brushing their teeth.

The toothbrushes in Fucheng are made of the finest wolf hair, similar to brushes, and are supplemented with refined salt, vanilla, etc. when brushing teeth.

The supplies for brushing teeth alone far exceed those of any family in the county.

"Boss, something big has happened!"

Li Yuan was still gargling when he heard hurried footsteps. A manager from the forging shop came running to the backyard with a panicked look on his face:

"The Palace Master was assassinated, assassinated!"

"Ok?"

Yu Jin and the others looked at each other and stood up. "Someone tried to assassinate the mansion master again? Is Wang Zhaozhi dead?"

Li Yuan spat out the mouthwash and stood up.

"Last night, the mansion master hosted a banquet. When everyone was leaving after the banquet, an assassin suddenly appeared with extremely brutal means..."

The chief was somewhat incoherent, as if he had been greatly frightened: "The city has been under martial law, and the Divine Guards are searching every household."

"How many people died?"

Li Yuan was a little surprised. With such a big investigation in Shenbing Valley some time ago, how could there be any killers who dared to take the risk?

Or assassinate the palace lord?

Li Yuan's only impression of the Palace Lord Wang Zhaozhi was that he had been to the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple in the city. Apart from that, the Palace Lord really had no presence.

"It is said that the Palace Master and Deputy Master Lin of Zhenwu Hall died on the spot, and several major police chiefs in the city also suffered heavy casualties."

The person in charge had sweat on his forehead.

The previous palace lord died only two or three years ago, and the new palace lord died again. This is too dangerous.

"Lin Jia is dead too?"

Yu Jin's expression also changed. Wang Zhaozhi was fine, but Lin Jia was a master who had mastered the art of opening meridians.

"this?"

Several old soldiers looked at each other with solemn expressions. It was hard not to think of Sanyuanwu when the lord of the mansion was killed at this time.

"With Lin Jia's martial arts skills, he didn't even escape?"

Li Yuan was also a little frightened.

In name, Zhenwu Hall is the imperial court's violent organ that monitors the world. Although it is not very conspicuous in the city, in fact, it is an institution that has direct access to the Dayun imperial court.

As far as he knew, Lin Jia was also a master of Tongmai, and there were few people in the entire Zhelong Mansion who had higher martial arts than him. "Xiao Li, let's go back to the mountain!"

Yu Jin reacted quickly and realized that the city was not safe, so he immediately prepared to take Li Yuan back to the mountain.

Before Li Yuan could reply, he heard a cough.

Jing Shuhu, who had not been seen all night, walked over slowly from outside. His face was ruddy and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Elder."

Seeing Jing Shuhu, Yu Jin and others all bowed.

"Something happened!"

Li Yuan's heart moved, and he repeated what the person in charge had reported.

"furious!"

Jing Shuhu's expression suddenly changed, and he flew into a rage: "You have killed two former masters of my Zhelong Mansion in three years. This is too arrogant!"

Wasn't he the one who did it?
Judging from his own experience, Li Yuan was somewhat skeptical, but when he saw that his anger did not seem fake, he began to feel suspicious.

Could it be that there is a killer with great mastery of meridians hidden in the city?
"Come on, follow me to the government office!"

Jing Shuhu's face was as gloomy as water and he walked away in a huff.

Li Yuan and others looked at each other and followed.

……

The city had already been under martial law, and the city guards and divine guards were searching the streets in groups of three or five.

The government office had already been blocked off.

When Ren Jingfei hurried over, he took a quick glance and couldn't help but burst into tears, his mind buzzing:
"Thieves deserve to die!"

Among the corpses scattered all over the ground, the six major constables in the city accounted for two and a half!
"grown ups!"

All the yamen runners turned pale.

"It hurts me too!"

Ren Jingfei spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body was shaking. After a while, he looked at the coroner with a sharp look:

"What kind of martial arts did that thief use?!"

"Return, return to Captain Ren."

The coroner was about fifty or sixty years old, and was also an experienced official. Although his face was pale, he managed to maintain his composure:

"The killer used a sickle! It seems to be the sickle technique of Sanyuanwu!"

"Sanyuanwu?"

A deep voice came from outside the government office. Ren Jingfei was startled and bowed hurriedly: "Master Meng!"

Meng Zhan, wearing heavy armor, strode forward, his eyes as sharp as knives, scanning the corpses all over the ground, his face as gloomy as water.

"Master, Deputy Master Lin died tragically! You must avenge him!"

"That thief was too cruel!"

"Master of the Palace..."

There was a lot of noise in the government office.

Meng Zhan's face twitched as he looked at the corpse and the blood splattered everywhere.

"When the mansion master was having a banquet last night, the murderer took the opportunity to hide in the crowd. The murder weapon should be a sickle used by ordinary farmers..."

At this time, a young man in gray jumped down from the wall and pointed at Wang Zhaozhi's body:

"The assassin suddenly attacked with his first strike, beheading the mansion master, and then turned around with his second strike, killing Captain Fang..."

The young man in gray was walking in and out of the hall, recounting last night's battle as if he were there himself.

Meng Zhan had a sullen face and said nothing.

Finally, the young man in gray concluded:

“Except for Vice Hall Master Lin, the seven shape-changing masters, including the Palace Master, were unable to take a single blow!
That assassin is at least at the level of Tongmai Dacheng, and is extremely skilled in assassination. He knows everyone's martial arts like the back of his hand, and the sword and sickle technique is probably not his best martial art!"

At this point, he glanced at the witness who was being held by the yamen runners in the corner:
"According to them, the assailant was wearing a cat-faced mask and must be one of the top assassins in Zhaixing Tower."

"Cat face mask? Gold medal killer?"

Meng Zhan did not comment and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the door.

Soon, Li Yuan followed Jing Shuhu, who was full of anger, into the yard. The yamen runners had bitter faces, so how could they stop them?
"Crazy! Too crazy!"

Jing Shuhu's hair and beard were all standing on end, and he was so angry that Li Yuan took a few steps back. It made people wonder if he had a close friend with the deceased.

This emotion is a bit too strong...

"Jing Shuhu!"

Meng Zhan's face twitched, but he quickly regained his composure: "Whoever killed the Palace Master and Zhenwu Hall Master without permission, will be killed once he is found out!"

He glanced at Jing Shuhu coldly, expressionless:
"Once the assassin of Zhaixing Tower is caught, the whole family will be killed!"

"Sanyuanwu is too bold!"

Jing Shuhu glanced at the corpses on the ground with a cold look in his eyes:
"And those evil people from the Evil God Cult actually dared to sneak into the government office. They deserve to die, all of them deserve to die!"

call!
Amid the corpses on the ground, the two men looked at each other coldly. Li Yuan seemed to sense a strong evil spirit and his eyelids twitched.

He found that he might have ignored the court, which seemed to have little presence.

Just looking at Meng Zhan's attitude, it was obvious that the relationship between the imperial court and the sect was even worse than he thought.

This is more than just tit-for-tat...

"I will report this matter to the imperial court!"

After a moment, Meng Zhan lowered his eyelids and his tone returned to calm:
"Two palace masters have died in three years. The high-ranking officials in the court must be very angry!"

After saying this, he turned around and left without even looking at Jing Shuhu.

Ren Jingfei and the others also came to their senses and were about to leave, but were stopped by Jing Shuhu.

"As the saying goes, peace is in the grave."

Jing Shuhu sighed and said, "Captain Ren, clean up the mess and bury the dead."

"The state government will also send someone to investigate the death of the mansion master. Before that, he cannot be buried in the ground."

Ren Jingfei bowed and retreated expressionlessly, feeling a little scared. If it weren't for the sudden incident last night, he would have been one of the many dead bodies.

"Poor!"

Jing Shuhu looked at Ren Jingfei deeply, and took Li Yuan and others to check the body in the yard.

"The assassin's sword and sickle skills are probably already perfect. His martial arts are extremely high, and he kills decisively. He doesn't care about his demeanor at all. He lurks among the crowd, and when he suddenly attacks, he will use a killing move!"

Jing Shuhu pointed at the corpse with a solemn expression.

Great master!
The more Li Yuan looked, the more frightened he became.

Just from the traces on the ground, it can be seen that most people were killed without any reaction.

Including the five notorious constables who had already changed their appearance.

The real battlefield was in the backyard. The deputy head of the Zhenwu Hall died there. The rockery was broken, and the pavilions and towers collapsed everywhere.

It was like a strong wind passing through, leaving everything in a mess.

Lin Jia's body had been taken away long ago, but from the traces of blood, it could be seen that he had died in a very miserable way.

Li Yuan saw the undried brain matter, internal organs, and bone fragments on the ground...

"Let's go."

After taking Li Yuan for a walk, Jing Shuhu turned around and left, seeming to suppress his anger.

"Could it really be him who did it?"

Li Yuan became more suspicious. It was like the perpetrator was pointing fingers at him, but it also seemed like the perpetrator was checking if he had missed anything...

Before leaving, the nearby yamen runners heard the angry rebuke of the Divine Weapon Valley elder:

"Too crazy!"
