In the small town, there was only one best inn. It was natural and unrestrained, clean and tidy. There was also only one courtyard that was specially prepared for the rich and powerful.
When the two rich families met by chance, and neither of them was willing to back down, it was inevitable that there would be a dispute.
At this moment, on the roadside in front of the inn, two people were fighting fiercely with their bare hands. One of them was naturally a customer of the Yuan family, Zhong Puyuan. His cultivation had already reached the eighth level. With his cultivation, no matter which aristocratic family he went to, he would be treated very well. It was only because he was greatly indebted to the Yuan family when he was young that he was willing to serve the Yuan family. He could be considered as the person with the highest cultivation in the escort team this time.
The other person was a middle-aged man in tight clothes. He was extraordinarily thin, with narrow shoulders, long arms, and long legs. His hands were swinging outside his sleeves as if they had grown longer.
However, his inner strength had also reached the eighth level. Moreover, this person's attacks were extremely vicious. His pair of long arms were like spider legs. Every time they moved in the air, a strange whistling sound would be heard. It was as if his arms were his weapons.
Zhong Puyuan seemed to be quite wary of the middle-aged man's arms. However, when he attacked, he was as light as a feather. Every time, he was able to gently swing his opponent's arms away at the crucial moment.
Although both parties had attacked, they were both quite restrained and did not really kill.
This was because they had already seen that the other party must have a strong background. Under such circumstances, no fool would really kill without restraint.
The kind of people who would draw their swords and kill when they met on the road was not something that every cultivator could do.
Perhaps those stealthy horse bandits could do it. Perhaps an Innate Expert like He Yiming could do it. However, it was definitely not something that people like them, who had a strong background and whose strength was not above the law, could do.
Beside them, Yuan Lixuan and another person looked at each other from afar. Their expressions were quite unpleasant, as if they did not want to really start a conflict. However, at this moment, they had already drawn their swords and it was difficult to sheath them.
Yuan Lixuan's inner strength was only at the fourth level, but there were at least five seventh level inner strength experts standing behind him. Moreover, there were many men who kept coming out of the inn with weapons in their hands. They looked unfriendly and gave the other party a lot of pressure.
The atmosphere in the field gradually became tense at this moment.
As more and more people appeared behind Yuan Lixuan, the people on the other side became uneasy, especially the middle-aged man who was fighting with Zhong Puyuan. His attacks finally began to become fierce.
Indeed, no matter who it was, when they saw that the enemies in front of them were increasing, they would subconsciously deal with the opponent in front of them first.
Moreover, based on his observation, he was certain that Zhong Puyuan was the only one with Stage Eight Internal Force among these people. Once he got rid of him, the others would be much easier to deal with.
At the very least, even if they couldn't win, they could still escape easily.
Sometimes, the restraining effect of an expert was much stronger than a large group of low-level cultivators.
As the middle-aged man started to get serious, Zhong Puyuan suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
The middle-aged man was clearly using an extremely rare metal-elemental technique. Moreover, at least half of his technique was on his arms, which were much longer than normal people's. When he waved his arms, it was as if a large sword was slashing through the air. The edge of his palms even faintly flashed with a metallic light. This was clearly a characteristic that would appear when a person cultivated a special metal-elemental technique to a certain level.
At this moment, under the man's crazy urging, his palms were getting closer to the metallic color. The power of his palms was getting stronger and stronger. Just the fierce sound of the air being torn apart was enough to make people's hearts jump.
Yuan Lixuan and the others were all worried. Moreover, unknowingly, they were gradually getting closer to the battle.
After witnessing the opponent's power, none of them dared to let their guard down. They all planned to swarm the man as soon as they sensed that something was wrong.
No matter how powerful the middle-aged man's martial arts technique was, he was only a Level Eight inner strength cultivator. If more than a hundred people attacked him at the same time, he could only flee.
However, at this moment, a calm voice was heard from behind. "All of you, come back and watch carefully."
When this voice rang out, the anxiousness on Yuan Lixuan and the rest's faces instantly disappeared without a trace. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and silently took a few steps back, distancing themselves from the battle between the two people.
This was because they could tell that it was He Yiming's voice.
Although He Yiming was only 16 years old, he was a legendary Innate Stage powerhouse. These diners and servants from the Yuan family had heard so many stories about this powerhouse that they were sick of hearing them.
In their hearts, He Yiming was almost a legend.
Since he was watching the battle from the side, what else did they have to worry about?
Although these people retreated, the man who fought with Zhong Puyuan and some other people who were watching the battle not far away were inexplicably nervous.
When so many people surrounded them just now, although it was frightening, these people were confident that they could escape even if they could not win.
However, the words that came from the restaurant made these people obediently give up. What was more frightening was that there was no resentment on these people's faces at all. Instead, there was a hint of anticipation and excitement in their eyes.
These people were quite experienced in dealing with I, so they immediately knew the importance of the person who spoke.
He was definitely an outstanding figure who could suppress these burly men and make them submit wholeheartedly.
At this point, they were all shocked in their hearts. If they were to provoke this hidden figure, it was likely that they would not be able to get anything out of it today.
The leader of the group regretted that he had tried to snatch that courtyard. If he knew that these people were so difficult to deal with, he would have agreed to stay in the upper room, or just left.
After Zhong Puyuan heard He Yiming's voice, he was instantly energized. He shouted softly, and the palm technique in his hands became gentler and gentler.
What he was using was a water-type cultivation method. Although this cultivation method wasn't the best, it wasn't too bad either.
His hands continued to draw strange circles within a certain range. After each circle was completed, a whirlpool would appear in the center. Each whirlpool was like a spring, bouncing the middle-aged man's arms out.
Although he hadn't fought with the middle-aged man once and seemed to be at a slight disadvantage, he was like a piece of sticky candy. Once you stuck to it, it would be impossible to remove it safely.
After fighting for a while, someone shouted from the opposite side, "Li Fuzhou, don't drag this out any longer. Finish it quickly."
The middle-aged man frowned slightly, but still responded.
Zhong Puyuan was furious. We are both Level 8 inner strength cultivators of the same level. Although your inner strength cultivation is higher than mine, it won't be easy for you to finish me off.
However, just as he was getting angry, the middle-aged man, Li Fuzhou, suddenly retracted his arms and took a few steps back.
He had been the main attacker just now and had the upper hand. Naturally, he could retreat whenever he wanted to without any entanglement.
Zhong Puyuan was startled. He was suspicious and could not make up his mind whether he should immediately chase after him.
However, just as he was hesitating, Li Fuzhou had already raised his arms. His extraordinarily long arms were strangely pressed together, and his hands were stretched out horizontally. His palms were also much larger than the average person's.
At this moment, the ten fingers of his hands were intertwined, and in the next moment, they formed an extremely strange hand seal. This hand seal seemed to have ten fingers pressed together, but two thumbs were strangely sticking out from the gaps between the fingers, revealing two snow-white long nails.
For some reason, when Zhong Puyuan saw the handprint, his face could not help but change slightly. This was because he sensed that the handprint contained an incomprehensible power. Moreover, this power was extremely dangerous. It made him feel as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.
At this moment, in a dark corner of the shop, He Yiming suddenly exclaimed, "I know who these people are!"
He Quanxin and his son were startled. The same thought appeared in their minds at the same time. Could these people be people that Yiming recognized when he went out last time?
He Yiming's gaze swept across them and smiled, "Uncle, big brother, look at their clothes."
He Quanxin and He Yitian were surprised. They took a closer look and found the other party's clothes to be somewhat familiar. However, they could not recall where they were from.
He Yiming said softly, "Big brother, it's your wedding day."
He Yitian's eyes finally lit up, "I remember now. They are from the Lin family of Glittering Jewel. These clothes are specially worn by the attendants of the Lin family. There's no mistake."
He Quanxin nodded. In order to recruit He Yiming, Lin Taoli had personally made a trip to the He family village. However, in the end, he came with high spirits and returned with disappointment.
He Yiming had fought with Lin Taoli once, so it was natural that he would have a deep impression of these people's clothes.
However, they did not know that He Yiming was able to recognize them not from their clothes, but from the seal on Li Fuzhou's hand.
Although this seal was not the Crouching Earth Seal or the Seal of Clouds and Rain, He Yiming's eyesight allowed him to recognize it with a single glance. This person's handprint technique originated from the same source as the Lin Family of Glittering Jewels.
However, compared to Lin Taoli, the seal technique that Li Fuzhou was using was undoubtedly much weaker. It could be said that they were not on the same level.
He Yiming did not know if it was because he did not have a good grasp of it, or because the seal technique's power was limited. In short, this level of power did not surprise him.
However, He Yiming could ignore it, but Zhong Puyuan could not.
His eyes were wide open and his face was unprecedentedly solemn. The inner strength in his body was circulating at the fastest speed, raising the strength in his body to the extreme.
Because the opponent's seal technique was giving him too much pressure, he deeply understood that this was perhaps the strongest opponent he had ever met in his life.
Li Fuzhou suddenly shouted and took a step forward. The seal technique in his hand was like a hammer as it smashed towards Zhong Puyuan.
That's right, what he used was smashing. He smashed down aggressively, leaving no room for anyone to dodge.
Zhong Puyuan's legs were like moving clouds and flowing water as he retreated. However, he immediately realized that his opponent's seal technique was still in the same position. It seemed that no matter where he escaped, he would not be able to avoid being smashed. He was shocked. What kind of battle technique was this? It actually gave him such a terrifying feeling for no reason.
In fact, if he knew that this battle technique was evolved from an Xiantian battle technique, he would not be so depressed.
An Xiantian battle technique was a powerful existence. Even if it was simplified, leaving only 30% of its power for an ordinary Postliminary Realm expert to cultivate, it was not something that he could easily avoid.
His legs stopped moving. Since he could not avoid it, then he might as well go all out.
With a loud roar, he raised his hands high and was about to meet the imprint head-on.
However, at this moment, he saw a mocking smile at the corner of Li Fuzhou's mouth. It was as if he was mocking him for overestimating his own abilities.
Zhong Puyuan's back was instantly soaked in cold sweat. He regretted it. However, the arrow was already nocked on the bow and he had no choice but to release it.
He gathered all the inner strength in his body and pushed it forward with all his might.
Suddenly, there was a blur in front of his eyes. He did not know when a person had appeared in front of him.
Zhong Puyuan had already struck out with his two palms. Faced with the sudden appearance of the figure, Zhong Puyuan simply couldn't pull back his hands. His two palms heavily imprinted on the person's back.
He was shocked. Where did this figure come from? It was like a ghost and he could not react in time.
"Puff …"
A soft sound was heard. Zhong Puyuan was surprised. This sound did not seem to come from the person's back, but from the person's front.
He thought to himself. What was going on? Could it be that he had unintentionally cultivated the mysterious technique of hitting a cow through a mountain? He had clearly hit the person's back, but it had caused damage to the person's front.
However, it only took a moment for him to realize that this was impossible.
He tilted his body and saw clearly.
The person between him and Li Fuzhou was He Yiming.
After seeing He Yiming, he immediately understood that although the strength of his palm was not small, it was undoubtedly a daydream to say that he wanted to hurt this person.
He respectfully took a few steps back. His hands hung naturally by his side and he looked extremely submissive.
In front of He Yiming, Li Fuzhou's palm had ruthlessly smashed into He Yiming's chest.
This was a vital part of the human body. A Level 8 inner strength expert had used all the strength in his body and the power of a top-grade battle technique to heavily smash this area.
According to Li Fuzhou's feeling, even if this person had nine lives, he would have lost eight and a half.
However, looking at the smiling face of this young man, he did not seem to be injured at all. Li Fuzhou took a few steps back. His face was pale and he looked at He Yiming with a deep sense of fear.
Even though He Yiming did not have the slightest bit of aura, he would not dare to provoke him again even if he had three times the courage.
The expressions of the people behind them changed slightly. These people naturally saw the scene just now. They immediately held their breaths and there was no longer any arrogance on their faces.
He Yiming stretched out his hand and gently fanned his chest twice, as though he was casually patting away the stains on his clothes. He said, "Are you people from the Lin family of Glittering Lang?"
Li Fuzhou heard his gentle tone and heaved a sigh of relief. He turned back and saw the leader of the people behind him taking a big step forward. He cupped his fists and said, "That's right, we are from the Lin family of Glittering Lang. We were in a hurry tonight and missed our lodging. That was why we had a conflict with you. All of this was an accident and we were in the wrong. We hope that you can forgive us. "
He Yiming sighed in his heart. These people had good eyesight and could tell that they were not his match. That was why they humbled themselves.
"You don't have to be so polite. Since it was a misunderstanding, let's just let it go."
That person bowed deeply and said, "I am Lin Wenkai, one of the stewards of the Lin family. May I ask … what is your name?"
Lin Wenkai clicked his tongue in wonder when he saw He Yiming's face clearly. He had such an unfathomable cultivation at such a young age. He really did not know how he had cultivated.
He Yiming smiled and said, "He Yiming from Taicang County."
"Taicang County?" Lin Wenkai suddenly raised his head with a face full of surprise.
He was not the only one with such an expression. Even Li Fuzhou and the people behind him had the same expression.
The smile on He Yiming's face faded slightly. In his heart, there was a strong sense of foreboding. His heart quivered. His premonition had never been wrong before.
"Everyone, is there something wrong?" He Yiming asked in a deep voice.
Lin Wenkai hesitated for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Are you Young Master He Yiming from the He family, one of the three aristocratic families in Taicang County?"
"That's right."
"Young Master He, did you come back from outside? You haven't reached Taicang County yet, right? "Lin Wenkai probed.
"That's right." He Yiming's gaze faintly sharpened. He said, "Did something happen to our He family?"
Lin Wenkai laughed bitterly and said, "Young Master He, to be honest, seven days ago, the four major bandit groups of Tai 'a County gathered together and suddenly went through Taicang County. They rushed to Taicang County at the fastest speed and broke into Taicang County at lightning speed."
"What?"
Two figures suddenly flashed by. He Quanxin and his son also quickly came out. Their faces were extremely ugly.
"What happened after that?"
Lin Wenkai shook his head slightly and said, "The last news we received was that the county had been broken into. After that, we don't know." Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Master sent us to Taicang County to gather information, but these horse bandits are all outlaws who treat human lives like grass. This time, I'm afraid that Taicang County is …"
Although he had stopped, how could the crowd not understand the meaning behind his actions?
He Yiming's face was gloomy, and there was an uncontrollable chill in his eyes.
"Father, Mother." He Yiming raised his head and muttered softly. Then, he took a deep breath and said clearly, "Uncle, Big Brother, I'll leave first."
Just as He Yiming's words fell, he had already left like a ghost. In just a few breaths of time, everyone heard the sound of galloping horse hooves. Then, a red shadow disappeared in front of everyone's eyes …
