Chapter 206 Dechang Mansion

Chapter 206 Dechang Mansion

The thirty-mile river is filled with all kinds of ships, and thousands of porters shuttle between the docks, transporting goods.

Li Yuan and others followed the crowd across the dock. There was a commotion not far away, and the crowd naturally dispersed.

A well-dressed young man got off the boat accompanied by a group of people and got into a sedan chair, surrounded by dozens of people in front and behind.

"The people from Fire Dragon Temple, could the leader be Yue Chongtian?"

Luo Renshu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the sedan chair that was going away.

"It's him."

Fang Baoluo also saw the sedan chair: "The shape of a red dragon, the most important person in the Fire Dragon Temple today."

Everyone looked at the sedan chair. Many people nearby were talking and watching, but it was not conspicuous.

"Yue Chongtian?"

It was far away and Li Yuan could only see a back.

He looked around, and suddenly his eyes focused slightly, his gaze falling on the crowd.

The middle-aged man with a plain appearance and wearing a felt hat.

Li Yuan had never seen this face before, but he remembered the scimitar this man carried. It was the one worn by Linghu Baiwan, the killer who had extradited him to join Zhaixing Tower.

"What a coincidence?"

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly. Linghu Baiwan was a pseudonym, and this face seemed to have been disguised.

But the light of the weapon cannot be faked.

However, before he could take a closer look, Linghu Baiwan had blended into the crowd and quickly disappeared from his sight.

"Enter the city."

Fang Baoluo whispered something and walked away quickly.

A crowd of people followed.

When they arrived at Dechang Prefecture, both Liu Zheng and others, as well as Fang Baoluo, relaxed a lot.

On the way, they received the news.

Valley Master Gong Yangyu has arrived at Qianjun Mountain. Two thousand Divine Guards have been divided into small groups and have gathered together one after another. Several true disciples have also arrived at Dechang Prefecture.

As soon as they entered the city, everyone headed straight for the Divine Guard Army’s base. The Divine Soldiers Valley had not yet completely taken over Dechang Prefecture, but at least the prefecture city was already under the jurisdiction of the Divine Guard Army.

Beng Beng Beng~
As soon as he entered the Divine Guard Army's territory, Li Yuan heard the familiar sound of a bow being fired.

At a glance, in the martial arts arena, Qiu Changying, dressed in a martial arts robe, was drawing his bow and drawing his arrow. The arrow was like a meteor, shooting through the target.

Many disciples of the Divine Guards were building up their strength and practicing martial arts nearby.

At this point, Li Yuan felt relieved. The Divine Guards were not on alert, which at least meant that there had been no war recently.

"Fang Baoluo, Li Yuan!"

Qiu Changying put away his bow and arrow, walked quickly over, and a rare smile appeared on his cold face.

Among the five inner sect halls, the relationship between Li Chen Hall and Hammer Bing Hall was not good, but when they met in a different place, they felt much closer to each other.

"Junior Sister Qiu."

Fang Baoluo also had a smile on his face, Li Yuan bowed slightly, and the others all bowed in greeting.

"Junior Sister Qiu, where is the Valley Master?"

Fang Baoluo asked before he could even settle down.

"The Valley Master went out a few days ago to meet Long Sheng and others, and he hasn't returned yet."

Qiu Changying glanced at Li Yuan and was slightly surprised. It had only been such a long time since they last saw each other, and yet this kid had actually condensed his internal energy?
Li Yuan was also looking at her.

To be precise, it was the famous longbow on her back. Although this bow was not as good as the one that Jing Shuhu promised him before, it had the control effect that he had been coveting for a long time, the 'Perfect Soul-Chasing Arrow'.

"Is Junior Brother Long here too?"

Hearing her calm tone, Fang Baoluo felt relieved.

"Most of the three battalions of the Divine Guards have arrived, only the three commanders are still in Zhelong Mansion..."

Qiu Changying led everyone to settle down in the various locations of the Divine Guard Army. On the way, he talked to a few people about the major and minor events that had happened in the past three months.

On the rainy night of the Thousand Spirits Festival, many disciples of the Divine Guard Army split up into small groups and dispersed along the numerous tunnels, each heading to Dechang Prefecture to gather.

The Divine Guard Army consisted of many elite soldiers who knew how to march quickly. Before the Evil God Cult issued its hunting order, many of them had already arrived in Dechang Prefecture.

In the next two months, people gathered in the capital city one after another.

Under the leadership of Gong Yangyu, they settled in Dechang City, and many disciples followed suit.

"Young Master has been missing for many days, I'm afraid he is in danger."

"Ok?"

"Young Valley Master?"

Inside the small courtyard, everyone who had just put down their luggage was shocked when they heard the news.

The disciples of the Hammer Weapon Hall had little friendship with Shi Hong, but he was the young valley master after all. When they heard the news, many of them showed expressions of shock, anger, and sadness on their faces.

Li Yuan frowned slightly. He had only met Shi Hong a few times, and his only impression was that he had some malice towards him.

"Maybe we just didn't have time to contact each other?"

Fang Baoluo's face froze.

Of course he knew that Shi Hong was dead. Not only that, he also knew who killed Shi Hong.

"If nothing happened to him, how could he not be contacted?"

Qiu Changying shook his head in his heart.

She knew Shi Hong too well. Given his temper, he would never disappear at this time.

Unless he is the one who held the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer as rumored, Li Yuanba, the Lord of the Black Weapons.

"Perhaps something delayed you?"

Fang Baoluo frowned.

Qiu Changying didn't stay long. After settling a few people down, she picked up her bow and left. Now, she is in charge of the Divine Guards and is stationed in the military camp.

"Ugh."

After everyone left, in the hut, Li Yuan poured two glasses of water and heard Fang Baoluo sigh.

After closing the door, Fang Baoluo lowered his voice:
"Shi Hong is indeed dead."

"Ok?"

Li Yuan's heart was slightly shaken.

"This matter..."

Fang Baoluo lowered his voice and talked about the causes and consequences of Shi Hong's death, which was what Han Chuijun had told him before.

"So decisive?"

Li Yuan's eyelids twitched wildly. He still underestimated Lao Han's decisiveness. If the Young Valley Master said to kill, then kill.

"Master, he was too cruel and vicious."

Fang Baoluo sighed, but did not dwell on right or wrong. His concern was for Gong Yangyu.

"Shi Hong is the successor to the Valley Master who has devoted a lot of effort to him. Master killed Shi Hong in front of the Valley Master. No matter what, he has greatly offended the Valley Master."

Li Yuan nodded.

If it were him, there was no way he would kill his disciple in front of his master. He would do it in secret. Even if he had suspicion, it was just suspicion.

Attack in person...

He shook his head in his heart, somewhat worried about Old Han's mental state. Could it be that he had practiced some evil method of worshiping gods?

"The Valley Master is very magnanimous, but this matter is still hard to explain."

Fang Baoluo had some hidden worries in his heart, but he was not worried about Li Yuan, he was worried about himself.

He is not a genius disciple like Li Yuan, who has both natural talent and comprehension, and has the potential to be a master craftsman. After the situation calms down, it is hard to say whether he will not be held accountable later.

After all, Old Han intended to make him the young valley master...

"Brother, are you worried about what the Valley Master will do?"

Li Yuan saw his worry.

"Anyway, it's better to be careful."

Fang Baoluo didn't stay for too long. After giving a few instructions, he turned and left.

"Old Han is really good at doing things..."

In the room, Li Yuan let the little mouse out. He held the teacup and frowned slightly.

Fang Baoluo's words were vague, but he could probably guess that Lao Han's decisive action to kill Shi Hong was probably related to him. If Shi Hong really offended him, he would not have been the young master of the valley for more than ten years.

Li Yuan pondered.

He felt that unless Gong Yangyu had the same personality as Han Chuijun, he would definitely not make things difficult for him and Fang Baoluo at this time.

"call!"

After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan put down the teacup, swallowed a few pills, walked into the yard, and began to stand in a soldier's stance.

During the dozen days on the ship, his martial arts improved again, especially his fighting hammer, and he had already vaguely felt the path to great perfection.

"This is only the sixth level of hammer talent. If it were the eleventh level..."

Feeling the blessing of several hammer weapons, Li Yuan felt that the heavy hammer in his hand was connected to his blood, and there was no sense of sluggishness in every move.

"In three to five months at the shortest, or one to two months at the fastest, the Bingdao Dousha Hammer will be fully accomplished."

Li Yuan could even feel the progress of his hammering technique, and use it to calculate the distance and time between him and the next realm.

This feeling is extremely subtle, just like when you are doing a problem, there are clear steps to solve it in front of you.

"call!"

Li Yuan's mind changed and his hammer technique changed again. He danced with the hammer like an ancient elephant shaking its trunk. This was the Ancient Elephant Six-Shape Hammer.

These days, he would occasionally practice a few sets of Ancient Elephant Hammer. Although he did not put too much effort into it, thanks to his talent in hammer skills, his progress was still very fast.

Huhu~
Li Yuan wielded his hammer as he wished. The sound of the hammer was not noticeable, but the strong wind was blowing all around.

His hammering skills were far better than before. He could control the weight of the hammer at will. Even with a heavy hammer, it would fall to the ground silently.

But being silent is not powerless. On the contrary, every time he pushes the hammer, there is explosive power.

If there were someone standing nearby, they would be able to see that all the pores on his body were either tight or loose, as if he was breathing naturally.

After changing his form, his physique had gradually become inhuman, and the movement of qi, blood, and internal strength generated enormous heat.

After just a few sets of hammering, the temperature of the entire yard rose a lot, and the yellow dead leaves lost their last bit of green.

"It won't take half a year to reach the Great Perfection. If you ignore everything else and focus on this hammer technique, it will only take two months at most!"

Slowly ending the move, Li Yuan let out a long sigh, feeling refreshed.

With his current physical strength, it would be difficult for him to sweat profusely unless he modified his constitution and used the Military Dao Fighting Hammer with all his strength.

"Well, let's go out for a walk."

After relaxing his muscles and bones, seeing that it was still early, Li Yuan counted the pills on his body and decided to go out to buy some.

He has a lot of pills on him, but they consume a lot of energy.

In addition, every time he arrived at a place, he would walk around to see if he could buy some items with special controlling effects.

When he went out, he called Liu Zheng and Wang Peiyao, and the three of them went to the street together.

Dechang Prefecture is very lively, and the items sold in the various stalls and shops are different from those in Zhelong Prefecture.

The three of them walked around for a while, and Li Yuan also bought two pairs of entry-level boots.

"Dechang Prefecture has many lakes and forests, and there are more spiritual beasts. There are even spiritual boots for sale at roadside stalls."

Liu Zheng and the other man were both experts in business. After taking a look around, they found that Dechang Prefecture was very prosperous.

"Dechang Prefecture doesn't have abundant mineral resources, so the variety of weapons is far less than that of Zhelong Prefecture. If we open a weapon forging shop, business will be better."

Wang Peiyao was also observing.

"Ok?"

After wandering around for a while, Li Yuan saw Linghu Baiwan again, the bald killer wandering in the crowd.

"He seems to be following me?"

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he took out a silver note and handed it to Liu Zheng and the other man, asking them to buy elixirs, spiritual boots, bone ornaments and the like on his behalf.

He followed Linghu Baiwan.

"Ok?"

In the crowd, Linghu Baiwan's heart started, he looked around and immediately saw Li Yuan.

After several changes to his bones, Li Yuan became physically strong and tall, and he was very eye-catching when walking in a crowd.

'Discovered?' '

Linghu Baiwan frowned slightly, but did not panic. He turned and walked towards a restaurant on the side of the road.

Li Yuan paused slightly, then walked into the restaurant, followed him all the way to the second floor, and sat directly opposite Linghu Baiwan.

"Brother, do we know each other?"

Linghu Baiwan frowned and became a little alert. He had been very careful, but he was still discovered?

"I am curious too."

Li Yuan looked at Linghu Baiwan. After more than a year, his aura became more steady and it seemed that his martial arts skills had also improved significantly.

"Ok?"

Linghu Baiwan's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm: "Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"You followed me all the way, what can I do for you?"

Li Yuan went straight to the point.

"Brother, I think you have misunderstood."

Linghu Baiwan subconsciously pressed the scimitar at his waist, but quickly let go: "Brother Li is really sharp..."

He was somewhat frightened to find that the information he knew was probably wrong.

The true disciple of the Divine Weapon Valley in front of him made him feel dangerous, extremely dangerous.

"My surname is Linghu, my given name is Baiwan, and I come from Yunshu Tower. The reason I followed Brother Li was to deliver a letter."

Yunshu Tower?
Li Yuan sneered in his heart and frowned slightly: "Send a letter?"

"good."

Linghu Baiwan nodded: "My main business in Yunshu Tower is to sell intelligence, but I also do things like delivering letters for others."

"What about the letter?"

Li Yuan did not comment.

"Um……"

Linghu Baiwan glanced around and took out a letter from his pocket: "This letter is from Yunjing County..."

Letter from Wang Wenyuan.

After just a glance at the unopened letter, Li Yuan made up his mind and reached out to take the letter.

"This kid actually changed his shape..."

Linghu Baiwan sighed inwardly. He accepted the task of delivering the letter, but he also accepted more than just this task.

But now, all I can do is send the letter.

Immediately, he stood up and said goodbye without any hesitation. It was time to give up, and this was also the decision of a top killer.

"That's pretty decisive."

After watching the man go away, Li Yuan also stood up, asked for a private room, and ordered a table of food and wine. Then he took out the letter and opened it.

"It's Wang Wenyuan indeed!"

Li Yuan was certain in his heart, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart, letting a killer deliver the letter was really the style of Zhaixing Tower.

He now carries such a high bounty, if the killer who delivers the letter is sure, I think he wouldn't mind making an extra profit after delivering the letter...

"There is some progress on the matter of the Dragon-Tiger Heaven Hammer."

After hearing the first sentence, Li Yuan perked up.

"Longhu Temple is headed by Long Yingchan, and below him are four great elders. Master Fulong, Long Xixiang, is one of them..."

"I have a close friendship with him. I sent him a letter and got a response."

An irreconcilable friend?
Li Yuan touched his chin and continued to look at it.

"Long Xixiang was injured many years ago. Even though he has great talent, it is difficult for him to reach the pinnacle of martial arts..."

The pinnacle of martial arts.

Li Yuan's heart was filled with ripples. Long Xixiang was not on the list of gods, but his reputation was equally great.

Among the contemporary masters of Longhu Temple, there are only a few who can easily surpass Hundred Forms.

Many years ago, he had already become a master-level strongman.

"Long Xixiang is a person who won't easily agree to anyone's request, but once he makes a decision, he will definitely come in person!"
