The sun had already set, and the night was narrow and serene as it was sandwiched between the brick wall. However, the main hall of the He Clan Manor was brightly lit today.
When He Yiming hurried to the main hall, he realized that he was not the first to arrive.
It had been a month since he broke through the limit of the sixth level and advanced to the seventh level. However, he did not tell anyone about his situation during this period of time, so the elders in the clan thought that his cultivation level was still at the sixth level.
Today, when he was cultivating as usual, a servant came to report that the old manor head had summoned him to the main hall of the manor.
He Yiming did not dare to delay and hurried to the main hall. However, he was not the first to arrive. Before him, Second Brother and Third Brother had already arrived.
He Yihai nodded at He Yiming and said, "Sixth Brother, you're here too."
"Yes, hello, Second Brother." He Yiming nodded deeply. Although Second Brother was Eldest Uncle's son, there was not much difference in his attitude towards his younger brothers. To be honest, among the third generation disciples, apart from Fifth Brother He Yizhang, who had a bad relationship with him, the rest of the siblings got along quite well.
Of course, there were some differences in the relationship between biological brothers, but it was not obvious in the He Clan Manor.
He Yihai nodded silently and instantly shut his mouth. However, He Yiming knew that this was Second Brother's nature. If it was not for their brotherly relationship, He Yihai would not even greet He Yiming.
He took a few steps to Third Brother He Yixuan's side and asked softly, "Third Brother, what happened? Why are all of you here?"
He Yixuan smiled bitterly and shrugged. "I don't know, but since grandfather personally ordered to summon us, it shouldn't be a small matter."
He Yiming nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly sensed something. He instantly stopped and looked outside the main hall.
After a while, a few people walked in from the dim light outside the door.
After seeing these people, He Yiming and the other two immediately stood up. They puffed out their chests and straightened their waists, looking extremely energetic.
The person at the front was He Wude, who had single-handedly built the He Family Village. Behind him were First Uncle He Quan Xin and Third Uncle He Quan Yi. As for the last person, it was naturally He Yi Tian, who was known as the number one person in the third generation.
The three people in the hall were all astonished. What exactly was the matter that caused the Old Manor Head to be so cautious and gather all the forces that could be used in the manor?
He Yiming glanced in the direction of the library. According to what he knew, in the manor, other than the direct descendants of his grandfather, there was an old servant whose cultivation had also reached the ninth level, which was on par with his eldest uncle. This old servant seemed to have grown up by the Manor Lord's side since he was young. He was completely different from the other servants.
All along, this old servant had lived together with First Uncle in the two side halls of the Library Pavilion. The treatment he enjoyed wasn't the slightest bit inferior to that of a direct descendant.
Today, in the He Family Village, other than that special old servant, the rest of the disciples who had reached the sixth level of inner strength were all gathered together.
He Wude strode into the hall and sat down on the main seat in the middle. His eyes were bright and full of expression as he swept his gaze across everyone. Everyone who met his gaze felt a strange burning sensation and immediately lowered their heads involuntarily.
He Yiming's heart trembled. This was the peak of the tenth level of inner strength. It was not something that he could contend against at the moment.
He Yiming silently lowered his gaze. He did not want to attract any special attention.
"I called you all here because I have something for you to do." He Wude's voice sounded a little old, but it was filled with power. "Today, people from the Cheng Family came. There is a criminal wanted by the government that escaped to our county. They hope that we can assist the government in capturing or killing this person."
He Yiming, second brother, and third brother looked at each other. Their hearts were restless. They then looked at the two elders and big brother. Their faces did not change. It was obvious that they already knew about this.
"The wanted criminal escaped from Linqiu County. His name is Hu Bin. He is a cultivator who has reached the peak of the fifth level of inner strength. It is said that his skills are not bad."
He Yiming immediately understood. No wonder grandfather agreed and gathered them here.
Although a fifth level of inner strength was not bad, everyone here was at least at the sixth level or above. If they had a few more helpers, they could definitely take down that person easily. To the He Family Village's disciples, this was a rare opportunity to train.
Otherwise, if they always stayed at home and did not have any real combat experience, it would not be good for their cultivation in the future.
He Wude's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. He said, "You must not underestimate him. Although this Hu Bin only has a fifth level of inner strength, he is vicious and merciless. He was originally a centurion in Linqiu County's army. Because he committed the crime of rape and murder, he was detained and awaiting execution. However, he escaped from the army and killed countless people until he came here. " He paused and his voice became more dignified. He said, "Although he only killed ordinary people, he has killed many people. Naturally, he has a murderous aura. If you meet him, you must be careful. Do not be careless."
Everyone's heart trembled. They all agreed in unison.
He Wude had always been a decisive old man. Once he made a decision, he immediately ordered everyone to lead a few guards with a third level of inner strength. They would bring Hu Bin's portrait and go to different stations.
He Yiming and the others naturally had no objections. They were even slightly excited.
After cultivating for so many years, they finally had a chance to show off their skills. Of course, they would not miss this opportunity.
After He Wude assigned the tasks, he waved his hand. Other than He Quanxin and him, everyone immediately left with the Cheng Family's envoy.
After everyone left, He Quanxin said hesitantly, "Father, Yiming is only thirteen years old this year. Moreover, he has advanced to the sixth level less than a year ago. It seems too early for him to be in charge."
He Wude laughed involuntarily. He said, "Quanxin, do you still remember which area I asked Yiming to be in charge of?"
He Quanxin was startled. After thinking for a while, he suddenly understood. He said, "I understand. Yiming is in charge of the area closest to the county. Moreover, it is the main passage. Since Hu Bin fled here, it's naturally impossible for him to take that path openly. Instead, he had to take a remote path. It's also impossible for him to walk right into the trap of the county town. Therefore, Yiming is purely going there to put on a show. "
He Wude nodded slightly and said, "That's right, you're right. Yiming's talent is the most outstanding among the brothers. I have high hopes for him. However, it may not be a good thing to cultivate bitterly in the manor all the time. Therefore, letting him participate and feel the atmosphere will definitely be beneficial for his growth. As for that Hu Bin, the three great clans of the county have joined forces and mobilized people from all the villages to participate in the search. Unless he escapes from the county first, there will definitely be no accidents. "
He Quanxin nodded heavily and said, "Father, you are still the most considerate."
He Wude's face was glowing. He said, "Other than this, I let Yiming lead the team because I want to let the Xu and Cheng Families know that our He Family has another genius cultivator. I think those old foxes of the Xu and Cheng Families should understand who will be the most powerful family in Taicang County in the future. "
Two days later, a servant brought two letters with the latest news from the Cheng Family to the old man.
Since He Quanyi had also brought the servants out, He Quanxin had temporarily left the library to manage the trivial matters of the entire manor. When the news came, he was discussing a few difficult problems in cultivation with the old man.
Receiving the letters from the Cheng Family from the servant, He Quanxin opened the first letter. His expression changed slightly. He said, "Father, the Cheng Family sent a letter. Hu Bin's whereabouts have been exposed. However, he injured Yude and Yucai of the third generation of the Xu Family and then fled."
He Wude stilled slightly. He thought for a moment and said, "Xu Yude and Xu Yucai should have reached the sixth level long ago."
"That's right. Like Yihai and Yixuan, they reached the sixth level when they were seventeen or eighteen years old. Unfortunately, none of them were able to reach the seventh level until they were twenty-four or twenty-five." When he said this, He Quanxin's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of pride.
He Wude said softly, "Two sixth level inner strength youths couldn't stop a fifth level criminal. This Hu Bin is not simple."
He Quanxin nodded slightly and opened the second letter. However, when he scanned the letter, his expression changed drastically. He exclaimed, "Not good."
He Wude frowned and said, "Quanxin, you are the eldest in the family. You should have the bearing of a boss. Don't panic over such a small matter."
He Quanxin raised his head. He didn't listen to the old man at all and quickly said, "Hu Bin fled towards the main road of the county. The second generation of the Xu Family is chasing closely behind."
"Yes, the second generation of the Xu Family should be strong enough … What, fled towards the main road of the county?" He Wude suddenly stood up. A hint of green actually appeared on his face.
He Quanxin turned around and said without hesitation, "Father, I'll go first. I won't let anything happen to Yiming."
However, just as he finished speaking, there was a blur in front of him. A figure had already swept past him and headed towards the main road of the county.
He Quanxin was stunned and couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Although Hu Bin was only at the fifth level of inner strength, he was a wanted criminal whose hands were stained with blood. Furthermore, he was able to flee from the distant Linqiu County to here and injure two sixth level inner strength youths of the Xu Family many years ago. If he didn't have some real skills, how could he have done it?
If he had encountered the other youths of the manor, He Quanxin wouldn't have been too worried. This was because even Yixuan was already eighteen years old and had participated in a few competitions with the younger generation of the Xu and Cheng Families. He had a wealth of fighting experience. Furthermore, they had entered the sixth level for almost two years and a half. Each of them had a battle technique that was close to the peak of their strength. In terms of individual combat strength, even if they couldn't win, they should be able to barely protect themselves.
However, Yiming was different. He had only entered the sixth level for a little more than half a year. It was impossible for his mastery of battle techniques to reach the peak. If he were to meet Hu Bin, who had experienced hundreds of battles and crawled out from piles of corpses, it was hard to say who would win. If he were to die because of this, it would definitely be a huge blow to the He Family.
Sighing inwardly, He Quanxin immediately chased after him. However, there was still a large gap between his strength and He Wude's. He simply couldn't catch up. However, in his heart, he hoped that Yiming wouldn't meet Hu Bin. Furthermore, he sighed in his heart. His astute and astute father had finally miscalculated this time.
