There was no electricity for the whole day, and it only came back at nine o 'clock at night. Plus, a new chapter was about to start, and some of the plot ideas needed time to be completed. So, there was only one chapter for today, but it was definitely four thousand words long.
.....
Whoosh.
The morning had just arrived, and rain poured down from the hazy sky. Wang Yan stood under the eaves and watched the heavy rain quietly. Li Yunyang stood not far away from him. This old man didn't expect that after he and Wang Yan parted ways, Wang Yan would come looking for him. He also didn't expect that Wang Yan would leave before dawn.
Not long after, Wang Yan came back to his senses. He looked at the old man and said sincerely, "Senior, please take care of Jasmine in the future."
Bai Moli hadn't woken up yet, but Wang Yan had already decided to leave. The road ahead was too dangerous, and he couldn't keep Bai Moli by his side. Although Wang Yan couldn't be as cruel as Diwu Yun expected, he understood that he couldn't bear any more burdens. Facing the possible revenge of the Black water thief, the only thing he could do was to focus the Black water thief's revenge on him, and give Bai Moli a relatively safe environment.
"Little friend, don't worry. I don't dare to say anything else, but as long as I'm still breathing, I won't let your disciple be in danger."
Wang Yan had already told Li Yunyang about the grudge between him and Chen Wenyuan, and what happened in the village at the foot of the mountain. Li Yunyang knew that the Black water thief wouldn't let Wang Yan go, but he was still willing to share some of the burden with Wang Yan, just to repay Wang Yan for saving his life.
However, Wang Yan shook his head and said, "It's not that bad. After I leave this time, I will go north with great fanfare. Maybe I will take down another two or three branches of the Black water thief, so that the Black water thief won't have time to get involved with you. "
"Little friend …"
Li Yunyang was shocked. He didn't expect Wang Yan to do this. He wanted to stop him, but Wang Yan said firmly, "I have to do this."
Wang Yan did this not only for Bai Moli, but also for Lin Ghu Wan and Xiao Douzi. Even though he didn't know where the two of them went, he knew that if he didn't show up and left quietly, the Black water thief would definitely investigate carefully and not let go of any clues. In the end, he would definitely find out that Lin Ghu Wan, Xiao Douzi, and Bai Moli were related to him, and then the target of revenge would be on the three of them. For the safety of the three of them, Wang Yan had to stand out.
On the other hand, Wang Yan also wanted to make the matter bigger. It would be best if everyone in the north knew about the enmity between him and the Black water thief. This way, the Black water thief would have to be cautious. After all, he was a disciple of the Aojian Villa. The Aojian Villa might not care about his life or death, but they would not sit and watch a force bully their own disciples, because this was related to the reputation of a martial institution.
Once the Black water thief's revenge method was restricted, Wang Yan was not afraid at all. He was confident that as long as the Clasping Yuan Stage warriors did not make a move, no one in the Black water thief could do anything to him. This was the confidence that came from the battle with Chen Wenyuan.
Seeing that Wang Yan was so determined, Li Yunyang knew that there was no use in trying to persuade him. He couldn't help but say, "Then I wish you success here, little friend."
"Thank you for your kind words."
As he was speaking, Wang Yan turned around and saw Bai Moli lying on the bed in the room. There was a long sword with a sheath next to her pillow. It was one of the two sharp weapons that Wang Yan brought back from the Shujian Zhuang. Wang Yan wanted to give this sword to Bai Moli after she became a martial artist. Unfortunately, Wang Yan could not wait until that day. Other than that, there were two secret manuals next to her pillow. They were the Mountain Crushing Palm and the Hidden Wave Spell. Although Wang Yan knew that Bai Moli could no longer become a martial artist, Bai Moli did not know that herself. Therefore, he left these things behind to give Bai Moli a glimmer of hope. Wang Yan knew what it was like to live a life without hope. If Bai Moli lost hope, then she might not be Bai Moli anymore.
Wang Yan withdrew his gaze. After bidding farewell to Li Yunyang, he did not stay any longer. With a tap of his foot, his body rushed into the curtain of rain, heading into the distance.
Half a day later, the rain stopped and a red sun hung high in the sky. On the dirt road outside Tianmaji, Wang Yan, who was carrying the falling sand on his back, slowly walked towards the entrance of the town. Along the way, the people on the road could not help but give way to him when they saw him. Even though he had not shown himself for several months, the Ghost-Faced Sword Fiend's ferocious reputation in the South River Valley was still extremely great.
Not far behind Wang Yan, more than ten men in tight clothes were escorting a horse carriage along the dirt road. The curtain of the carriage was pulled open, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl stuck her head out. She looked at Wang Yan's back with a curious expression.
"Brother, who is this person? Why are people making way for him when he's walking on the road? "
There were two other people in the carriage. One of them was a young man around twenty years old. He was dressed in embroidered clothes with a jade belt around his waist, giving him a noble air. The other person was an old woman with a childlike face and white hair.
The young man laughed in disdain when he heard the question of the young girl. He said, "Who cares who he is. This South River Valley is filled with strong people and evil bandits. It is likely that he is merely a villain with a somewhat fierce reputation. This kind of person is able to act like a tyrant in a place like the South River Valley, where there are no rules. However, if he really dares to come to our Cloud Sky City, do you think he will still dare to act so arrogantly?"
This young man relied on his status. His words had knocked down a boat full of people. When the old woman saw this, a disappointed expression appeared in her eyes. She involuntarily shook her head and said, "Second young master's words are wrong. It is precisely because this South River Valley does not have any rules and only respects the strong. Therefore, those who can make a name for themselves in this place should be valued even more. These people are quite cunning and skilled. If second young master can be courteous and accept a few of these people as your subordinates, the sect leader will naturally regard second young master in a different light.
As for the person that Fifth Miss mentioned, he has a great background. Second young master must not underestimate him. "
Hearing the old woman's reprimand, the young man's face showed displeasure, but he did not dare to act rashly. He only said, "Chunfeng will remember Granny Gan's words."
The young girl's face became even more curious. She pulled the old woman's sleeve and said, "Granny Gan, what is this person's background? Even you attach so much importance to him?"
"This person is called Wang Yan. In the beginning, his identity was unknown. In this South River Valley, he joined hands with another wandering swordsman and committed several major crimes. The two of them even joined hands to kill the flower thief Wei Xiaofeng. It can be said that they are strong and their methods are even more ruthless. Because of this, they earned the bandit name of the Ghost Face Sword Fiend.
Later, this person was involved in the Shujian Zhuang Storm and his identity was exposed by Hen Tiandao Jin Wuyan. Only then did everyone know that this person was actually from the Aojian Villa. And this person did not let down his identity as a disciple of a famous sect. In the Shujian Zhuang Storm, he fought alone with a Nurturing Embryo Stage master. In the end, he was able to kill the Nurturing Embryo Stage master with his sword. Because of this, he became famous. Now in Hengshui City, in the South River Valley, this person's name can be said to be known by everyone. In addition, he has the fierce reputation of the Ghost Face Sword Fiend. Therefore, when he appears in Tianmaji, ordinary people in the Jianghu will naturally avoid him. "
The old woman spoke some of the information about Wang Yan. The young girl listened with stars in her eyes. In the end, she repeatedly clapped her hands and said, "This big brother is so powerful! He killed a Nurturing Embryo Stage master. Usually, I only heard the brats of the Chen Family, the Gong Family, and the Wei Family boast, but I have never heard of any of them who can kill a Nurturing Embryo Stage master at the Soothing Pulse Stage! "
Compared to the young girl's face of worship, the young man was still full of disdain. He said, "Humph, this kind of person is obviously from a famous sect, but he hid his identity and came to the South River Valley to act like a bandit. He really disgraces the prestige of the top sect of the Aojian Villa. Such a person …"
Before the young man could finish his words, he saw the old woman looking at him coldly. He couldn't help but lower his head and stop talking. However, his face was still full of disdain. Obviously, he had an extremely bad impression of Wang Yan. Seeing this, the old woman could only helplessly shake her head, not knowing what to say.
As they were talking, the carriage had already entered Tianmaji. The young girl lifted the curtain and saw that Wang Yan had already disappeared into the crowd. She couldn't help but murmur, "I really want to see such a powerful person."
Seeing this, the old woman couldn't help touching the young girl's head and said, "There will be a chance."
Before her voice died away, a voice came from outside the carriage. "Master Gan, the manager of Beiyan Hall, Li Qing, is here to welcome you."
"Get on the carriage and have a chat."
As the old woman's voice came from the carriage, the curtain in front of the carriage was lifted, and a short and fat man rolled onto the carriage like a ball. After the short and fat man boarded the carriage, he bowed to the people in the carriage one by one. After the old woman asked him to take a seat, he sat next to the young man.
"Manager Li, I believe you already know the purpose of our visit. For the next three years, Second Young Master will be in charge of Tianmaji. Not only Beiyan Hall, but the other halls will also be under Second Young Master's command. In the future, things like the Cloud Returning House must not happen again. Do you understand?"
The old woman surnamed Gan was an elder of Yunma School, which was in charge of Yuntian City. The young man accompanying her was the second son of the current Yunma School Master, Wei Hengshan, Wei Chunfeng. As for the young girl, she was Wei Chunfeng's younger sister, Wei Xiangnan.
The Cloud Returning House was the largest business of Yunma School in Tianmaji. It was a combination of a brothel and a casino. It could be said to be making a lot of money every day. However, a month ago, the Cloud Returning House was actually taken away by the Black Knife Sect. During this incident, the Black Water thief and Hengshui City both showed signs of taking action. However, the most important thing was that the manager of the Cloud Returning House had betrayed them. As a result, this incident not only dealt a heavy blow to Yunma School, but also caused the foundation of Yunma School in Tianmaji to become unstable. As a result, the elder of the school had brought the son of the master to oversee the Cloud Returning House.
The short fatty naturally knew what the old woman surnamed Gan meant. He immediately cupped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, Master Gan. I have already passed down the order. As for the other halls, I have also communicated with them. Most of them are already waiting for Master Gan and Second Young Master's arrival at the Cloud Returning House, but …"
"But what?"
The old woman surnamed Gan furrowed her brows and revealed a hint of killing intent. The short fatty immediately said, "The managers of the Agarwood Pavilion and Warm Treasure Hall have not appeared for the past three days. I have sent several people over, but they have all been chased away."
Slap!
Upon hearing this, the old woman surnamed Gan slammed her palm on the carriage made of fine iron. Under her palm strike, a palm print that was almost an inch deep appeared on the carriage. She then said coldly, "Preposterous! Do you really think that there is no one in Yunma School? You just took away the Cloud Returning House, and now you dare to plot against the Agarwood Pavilion and Warm Treasure Hall? "
Seeing that the old woman surnamed Gan was enraged, the people in the carriage, including Second Young Master, were as quiet as cicadas in winter. After a long while, the old woman surnamed Gan finally calmed down and said, "I didn't expect the situation to be so urgent. It seems that the Black Water thief and Hengshui City have really joined forces. I will report the situation to the sect in a moment, but since Second Young Master and I are here, we can't just stand by and watch."
At this point, the old woman surnamed Gan looked at the short fatty and said, "Have you found out Qi Xiangshan's whereabouts?"
Qi Xiangshan was the manager of the Cloud Returning Pavilion who had rebelled. The short fatty hurriedly said, "Ever since the Cloud Returning Pavilion rebelled, Qi Xiangshan has been hiding in the Cloud Returning Pavilion with many people protecting him. Just the Embryonic Nurturing Stage experts alone number three, and all of them are rather infamous in the Southvalley.
"This person must die, or else the foundation of our Yunma School will be unstable!"
The old woman surnamed Gan's words were filled with killing intent, but the short fatty was hesitant to speak. His expression was naturally seen by the people in the carriage, but the old woman surnamed Gan didn't say anything. To her surprise, the young girl said, "If Manager Li has something to say, why don't you speak frankly? My brother and Granny Gan have only just arrived here, so there are many things that they don't understand. It's all thanks to Manager Li's guidance."
A hint of approval appeared in the eyes of the old woman surnamed Gan when she heard this. The short fatty immediately bowed and said, "Fifth Young Lady, you're flattering me. I wouldn't dare to mention the word 'guidance' to Master Gan's face. I just want to say that if Master Gan were to make a move, there's no reason for Qi Xiangshan to survive. However, the Black Saber Sect was the one who intervened in the Cloud Returning Pavilion incident, and neither the Black Water thief nor Transverse Water City took any direct action. If Master Gan were to make a move to clean up the Cloud Returning Pavilion, it would be no different from shedding all pretense of cordiality, and that would be equivalent to directly responding to both sides. In that case, a three-way war might break out. My Yunma School naturally isn't afraid of that, but I'm just worried that the sect might not have made any preparations in response to that."
The eyes of the old woman surnamed Gan flickered when she heard this. She was naturally aware of the situation in the sect. Just the Black Water thief alone was enough to put Yunma School in such a sorry state. If the Black Water thief were to join forces with Transverse Water City and declare war, then the situation in Cloud Sky City would be thrown into chaos, and it would be very difficult for Yunma School to convince the other sects to join forces against the enemy. After all, the businesses of Tianmaji, including the Cloud Returning Pavilion, were merely the private property of Yunma School.
After a long while, the old woman surnamed Gan finally said, "If Manager Li has a good plan, please feel free to speak of it. However, that Qi Xiangshan must die!"
When Manager Li heard this, he took out a slip of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the old woman surnamed Gan. "This is an urgent letter I received this morning. Master Gan, why don't you take a look at it?"
The old woman surnamed Gan didn't understand what he meant, but she still took the slip of paper. When she opened it and read through it, an extremely shocked expression immediately appeared in her eyes. After a while, she came to her senses and said, "He was able to kill a titled expert of the Nurturing Embryo Stage with his Meridian Illumination Stage cultivation. Such a person can be said to be an exceptional genius that only appears once every thirty years. Moreover, he massacred the Black Water thief branch in Mingkang Town, so it can be seen that he has quite a deep grudge with the Black Water thief. In that case, wouldn't we be able to rely on him?"
