At night, in the room where Teng Qingshan was staying in the inn.
The door of the room was closed and the room was pitch black. In this pitch black room, Teng Qingshan, who was dressed in black, was practicing the Three Postures of Xing Yi Martial Arts with his eyes closed. In the narrow space of the house, Teng Qing Shan practiced irregularly in every small space of the house.
Sometimes the distance of his kicks was long, sometimes the distance of his kicks was short.
The speed of his punches varied.
However, there was a special sense of harmony, like floating clouds and flowing water.
The Three Postures was something that Teng Qingshan had to practice every night. Cultivating the Internal Martial Arts to the level that Teng Qingshan was at now. Even the Five Element Boxing was not very useful. Only this seemingly simple 'Three Postures' made Teng Qingshan feel the harmony of Yin and Yang, the concept of a seamless whole.
Suddenly —
Teng Qingshan opened his eyes and quickly went to the window. Through the hole in the paper of the window, he easily saw a blurry figure leaping into the distance.
"This Ma Jinxiao has finally set off." Teng Qing Shan's face was covered with a black cloth. At the same time, he opened the window and performed Crossing Worlds. He turned into a phantom and flashed twice. He flashed twice and left the area of the inn. In terms of speed and stealth, it was obvious that he was much faster than Ma Jinxiao.
… …
Ma Jinxiao and Teng Qingshan, one in front and the other in the back, leaped onto roofs and ran on walls. However, Teng Qingshan's movements did not make any sound, so Ma Jinxiao did not notice.
It was not yet late at night and the streets of the county city were still very lively. Lanterns were shining brightly on the streets.
Teng Qingshan and Ma Jinxiao quickly moved towards the north from the shadows.
Soon, they left the bustling area and arrived at an area where only the rich and influential could afford mansions. Many luxurious mansions were close to each other.
"Where is Ma Jinxiao going?" Teng Qingshan was puzzled. After interacting with Ma Jinxiao for the past few days, Teng Qingshan felt that Ma Jinxiao was a good person and never put on airs. He paid even more attention to his disciple, Tan He. The conversation between Ma Jinxiao and his disciple this evening had attracted Teng Qingshan's attention.
Obviously, Ma Jinxiao wanted to do something big, and his life was probably in danger.
If he could help, he would help once.
"Oh, it seems like it's the one in front," Teng Qingshan saw Ma Jinxiao jump into the courtyard of a mansion and followed him quietly.
The mansion occupied a large area, with fake mountains, flowers, and plants everywhere. Inside the mansion, there were many guards patrolling with lanterns.
"Hmm, these guards? The Immortal Guards of Xiao Yao Palace? " Teng Qingshan instantly determined the identity of these patrolling guards. They were the elite troops of the eight great sects of the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Most of the elites were dressed in black heavy armor, but there were some minor differences.
Take the Divine Guards as an example. The most eye-catching part of the Divine Guards' heavy armor was the sword-shaped mark on the shoulder plate.
"To be able to command the Immortal Guards of Xiao Yao Palace to be the guards of the mansion … The master of this mansion must have a high status! " Teng Qingshan pondered as he followed Ma Jinxiao quietly into the depths of the mansion … … As for the so-called Immortal Guards … … Even the Golden Dan Innate Experts couldn't detect Teng Qingshan's movements, let alone these so-called elite guards.
At a fake mountain.
Whew! Teng Qingshan quietly hid behind the fake mountain.
"What is Ma Jinxiao doing? Why is he standing there and not moving? " Teng Qingshan glanced into the distance. Ma Jinxiao was hiding behind another fake mountain and was constantly looking at the main hall of the mansion.
The main hall in the distance was brightly lit. Hearty laughter could be heard continuously. Many people were drinking and eating. There were also maids carrying delicacies into the main hall.
"Looks like Ma Jinxiao's target should be in the main hall." Teng Qingshan leisurely tried to listen to the sounds in the main hall.
"Brothers, I, Old Qiao, am very happy that you can stay in my house. My mansion is not small. It's just that there aren't many people. Elders, Protectors, and Second Martial Brother. You guys have to stay for a while. "That loud laughter sounded.
In the main hall.
Six people were sitting around a square table. The table surface was cut and polished from a smooth Clear Stone. The dishes on the table were all very exquisite. Every pair of chopsticks was meticulously carved by a craftsman. Jugs of good wine were also placed at the side. These six people were obviously eating and drinking very happily.
"Sixth Martial Brother! You are living very comfortably in Huyue County City. " A middle-aged man with two white eyebrows smiled and said, "We live in the mountains all year round. We are not as carefree as you."
"That's right. In Xiao Yao Palace, we can get some good wine. But we don't have good food. In the palace, they wouldn't specially invite a group of people to cook for us Elders and Protectors. "A skinny middle-aged man wearing a white cloak smiled and said.
"Don't make fun of me."
The fat middle-aged man laughed and said, "Until now, I am only a Commandant! I am always on the move. I didn't expect you guys to stay in the palace. Especially Second Martial Brother … … Back then, among the nine martial brothers, Second Martial Brother was the most powerful. Second Senior Brother was the strongest, having reached the Innate Realm. Second Martial Brother, my grandson is eleven years old this year. Now, he is learning the basic sword art and inner strength. However, his performance is not bad. He is better than my son and me back then! Second Martial Brother, take my grandson to your branch. "
The white eyebrowed man heard and smiled, "Do you think Little An 'an? Yes, that child is very perceptive. How about this, we'll wait for this storm to pass. When I return to the palace, I will transfer him to my branch. I will often teach him … … At least, Little An 'an is better than a lazy person like you! "
The fat middle-aged man chuckled. "I'm just that lazy."
"Elder Sikong." A silver-haired elder frowned and said, "When do you think this storm will pass?"
The white eyebrowed man heard and became silent.
"I really don't know why that godly eagle insisted on attacking our Xiao Yao Palace. It made everyone anxious. Now, so many people in the palace have to leave the mountain. "The skinny white cloaked man said discontentedly.
The fat middle-aged man said solemnly, "This kind of godly beast is as smart as humans. It wouldn't attack Xiao Yao Palace for no reason … … When did our Xiao Yao Palace offend this godly beast? "
"Don't worry about it." The white eyebrowed man frowned and shouted, "This godly beast has provoked our Xiao Yao Palace many times. The Old Sovereign will definitely solve this problem."
Hearing the three words "Old Sovereign," the other five people nodded.
Actually, Xiao Yao Palace was in a miserable state. Most of the people in the palace had to leave Xiao Yao Palace and temporarily live in the nearby county city. This was because … … the Godly Thunderbolt Eagle had spat out three thunderbolts and killed many people in Xiao Yao Palace. Even innate experts couldn't resist the thunderbolts of the Godly Thunderbolt Eagle.
They could only retreat!
Therefore, these Protectors, Elders, and Law Enforcing Elders could only temporarily live in the houses of their fellow disciples who had residences in the county city.
… …
Because the door of the hall was wide open, Teng Qingshan could barely hear part of the conversation.
"Tsk, tsk. Xiao Yao Palace is really miserable." Teng Qingshan laughed in his heart. "It seems that the Godly Thunderbolt Eagle forced many experts to live in the county city. Therefore, the Immortal Guards are scattered to protect the mansions! "Teng Qingshan glanced at Ma Jinxiao who was not far away.
Ma Jinxiao was quietly waiting, like a wild beast hunting its prey.
After a long time, along with some hearty laughter, the six people who had gathered together finally dispersed at the entrance of the hall.
"Haha, Brother Dong, I see that you are walking unsteadily. Do you want me to take you back?"
The master of the mansion, the fat middle-aged man, laughed and shouted as he watched the other five people return to their residences. After that, he ordered, "Remove all these and clean them up. Pass down the order … … Tomorrow morning's banquet will still be prepared with the highest quality dishes. "
"Yes, Master." The two maids hastily went to clean up.
As for this Master, he hummed a little tune proudly as he walked back to his residence.
Whew! Whew!
Ma Jinxiao quietly followed him while Teng Qingshan quietly followed Ma Jinxiao.
In a dark corridor.
The fat middle-aged man was in a good mood. He shook his head as he walked, "It's rare for Second Martial Brother to come to my place. Tsk, tsk. He is the Law Enforcing Elder. This is a rare opportunity. I have to serve him well. Hmm … … Which room should I go to tonight? That new little demoness is too fierce. I should find — — "
While he was still thinking about women, he suddenly felt a pain in his throat.
"Bang!"
A room on the side of the corridor was knocked open, and the fat, big-eared, middle-aged man was forced into the room by the throat. With a creaking sound, the door was closed.
"You, who are you?" The middle-aged man felt his throat loosen and immediately asked.
He didn't dare to shout!
To be able to subdue him, an expert at the peak of the postliminary realm, in one move, the person's strength … … Perhaps even the top ten of the 《Earth Ranking》 couldn't compare to him. Perhaps … … he might be an innate expert!
"Look at me clearly." With a wave of his hand, a match was lit and a candle was lit.
"I don't know you." The fat middle-aged man frowned. "Did you catch the wrong person?" As a Commandant of the Immortal Guards, he was very clear about the current situation.
"Qiao Zhong!" Ma Jinxiao stared at the fat middle-aged man. "Don't tell me you're not Qiao Zhong."
The fat middle-aged man was startled.
"Yes, I'm Qiao Zhong, the Commandant of the Immortal Guards, Qiao Zhong." The fat middle-aged man replied.
"Oh, you've been promoted and become a Commandant?" Ma Jinxiao sneered.
"I've been a Commandant for a long time. It's been more than ten years." The fat middle-aged man looked at Ma Jinxiao in confusion. "I don't even know you … … I don't know how I offended you, hero. Can you explain it clearly? "
… …
At this moment, on the roof, Teng Qingshan's ear was pressed against the roof, listening carefully.
"Ah!" A very low scream came from inside the room.
"Hmm? Could it be that Ma Jinxiao killed Qiao Zhong? "Teng Qingshan could determine that the scream must have been muffled due to the person's mouth being covered. Suddenly, a very low voice came from inside the room.
"Qiao Zhong, now that I've crippled your martial arts, you don't need to speak, just listen. You will know … … why I came to find you." The voice sounded very cold.
