(PS: I'm late. Sorry for the long wait.)
Shenlang's attack had shaken the entire Rivertown. Some martial artists who had received help from the Shen Family were patrolling the streets with the portraits of Shenlang.
These martial artists who had helped were the Shen Family's repayment. Without the Shen Family's help, how could so many people help Shenlang?
However, Ling Yun was like a stray dog now. Ever since he failed to assassinate Shenlang, Ling Yun knew that Shenlang would definitely send people to track him down. Therefore, he didn't even dare to return to his residence. He simply bandaged his wounds, disguised himself as a beggar, and fled out of the city.
A martial artist who passed by Ling Yun spread out the portrait and scanned Ling Yun. However, Ling Yun had covered his face with some dust and concealed his aura. The martial artist didn't recognize him and walked away.
At this time, the scale of the search for Ling Yun had increased. Those who had received help from Shenlang had also joined in the search for Ling Yun.
The people didn't care whether Shenlang was using them or not. They only cared about those who treated them well. Therefore, when one of the people received a portrait of Ling Yun, the other people also began to track down Ling Yun's whereabouts.
The participation of the people made Ling Yun miserable.
"Damn it, what kind of magic potion did Shenlang feed these people? Why are so many people working for him?"
Ling Yun gritted his teeth as he leaned on a bamboo pole.
A beggar wouldn't attract too much attention. Ling Yun arrived at the city gate without any mishap.
However, when he saw the scene in front of the city gate, he almost bit off his tongue.
At this time, there was a group of fierce martial artists at the city gate. They held swords in their hands and looked at everyone who came out of the city with murderous eyes.
"That person, yes! It's you. Stop right there. "
A martial artist suddenly shouted at a person who was leaving the city.
Then, the martial artist walked forward and took out the portrait to compare.
After confirming that the person in the portrait wasn't the one in the portrait, the martial artist let go of the person who was leaving the city.
"What should I do? Jiang City has been cordoned off by Shenlang's men. I can't get out at all. "
Although he could disguise himself as a beggar on the streets, there was no way he could do so at the city gate. The inspection there was much stricter than in the city. There was no chance at all.
Just as Ling Yun was at his wits' end, a figure suddenly appeared behind him and said softly, "Brother, please follow me."
Ling Yun was taken aback by the sudden voice. He asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
The person who came was about forty years old. His face was very ordinary, and no one would give him a second glance if he was in a crowd.
"Hehe, brother, don't be nervous. I'm here to save you. Hurry up and come with me.
If we're discovered, we won't be able to leave. "
The middle-aged man cautiously glanced at the warriors of Rivertown in the distance.
Ling Yun pondered for a moment and nodded. "Alright, thank you for saving me."
"Yes, let's go."
The middle-aged man nodded.
Ling Yun followed the middle-aged man carefully all the way to a poor house. After entering the courtyard, Ling Yun heaved a sigh of relief.
Along the way, the two of them were on tenterhooks. There were too many people looking for Ling Yun. Basically, every few steps, they would meet a martial artist who was holding a portrait of Ling Yun. If it weren't for the fact that they were too ordinary, they would have been exposed.
Just as Ling Yun heaved a sigh of relief, a loud laugh sounded. "Haha, brother, you're here. I'm Su Xinghe. Nice to meet you."
Su Xinghe was dressed in white and walked out of the room with a smile.
Seeing Su Xinghe, Ling Yun's expression changed. "Su Xinghe?"
Ling Yun had some impression of Su Xinghe. After all, he had been in Rivertown for quite some time to kill Shenlang. Hence, he had some understanding of the so-called Four Big Families of Rivertown.
Su Xinghe was known as the Flying Fox and was quite famous in Rivertown. He was cunning and sly. Even Ling Yun didn't have a good impression of Su Xinghe. Although he wasn't a good person, he still disdained a hypocrite like Su Xinghe.
"Hehe, brother, you know me?"
Su Xinghe asked with a smile.
Ling Yun sneered. "How can I not know Su Xinghe, the head of the Su Family of the Four Big Families of Rivertown?"
"Patriarch Su, may I know why you saved me?"
People like Su Xinghe did everything with a purpose. He didn't believe that Su Xinghe would save him for no reason.
Su Xinghe ignored Ling Yun's sneer. He extended his hand and invited Ling Yun to sit down. He smiled and asked, "May I know your name?"
"Qingcheng School's Protector, Ling Yun."
Ling Yun cupped his hands and said lightly.
"Qingcheng School?"
Su Xinghe looked at Ling Yun in surprise and said, "Qingcheng School, one of the top three forces in the Eastern Region?"
"That's right."
Seeing Su Xinghe's surprised face, Ling Yun said arrogantly.
Qingcheng School was one of the top three forces in the Eastern Region. They were Qingcheng School, Huayang Sect, and Peach Blossom Valley.
Each of the top three forces had a master above the Void Training Stage. Although they were not as strong as the top 21 forces, they were quite famous in the Zhenwu Continent.
In the whole Zhenwu Continent, except for the Buddhist Kingdom in the West Region, there were forces of various sizes in every region. Among them, the forces in the East Region were the most chaotic. There were countless third-rate and second-rate families, and various sects were common. The three major forces of the Qingcheng Sect were the best among them.
They controlled the largest resources in the Eastern Region and had countless disciples. Qingcheng School was famous for its swordsmanship. Every disciple of Qingcheng School was a master of swordsmanship.
The chief disciple of Qingcheng School, He Tianxing, the Unparalleled Sword, was a master on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
It was said that He Tianxing was born with a natural affinity for swords. After He Tianxing joined Qingcheng School, he had caused a stir in the Qingcheng School's divine weapon, the Unparalleled Sword.
When the Patriarch of Qingcheng School found out about this, he personally came out of seclusion to ask why He Tianxing had been bestowed the title of Unparalleled Sword.
After the title of Unparalleled Sword was bestowed, all the disciples of Qingcheng School knew that He Tianxing would become the head of Qingcheng School in the future.
He Tianxing did not disappoint. He started practicing swordsmanship at the age of seven and reached the late-stage of the Connate Stage at the age of 20.
He Tianxing's talent shocked the world. It was said that even the Only Sword Sect, one of the top 21 forces, had sent people to recruit him.
However, He Tianxing knew that the Only Sword Sect was full of geniuses. If he went there, he would not get as many resources as Qingcheng School. Therefore, he declined the Only Sword Sect's recruitment with the reason that he could not leave the Unparalleled Sword.
The Only Sword Sect had guessed He Tianxing's thoughts. However, as a famous sect, the Only Sword Sect would not be like the people of the Devil religion, who would turn hostile when they failed to recruit him.
Afterward, they just said that if He Tianxing wanted to join the Only Sword Sect in the future, they would welcome him at any time.
In fact, everyone knew that even if He Tianxing wanted to join the Only Sword Sect in the future, they would not accept him.
