Late at night.
In the East Flower Garden of the Xing Yi Sect, the candles in Teng Qingshan's study room were still lit. Light could be seen from outside the study room.
In the study.
Teng Qingshan sat in front of his desk, carefully reading the information that was sent to him. It recorded the course of events, as well as some speculations. "How vicious. Even the weapons and arrows were poisoned. It was obvious that he wanted to wipe out this caravan. These are all teenagers, yet this group of people actually dared to do it. "
"If you have a grudge against me, Teng Qingshan, you can just come after me, Teng Qingshan. How dare you resort to such shameless methods?" Teng Qingshan's killing intent surged and his eyes flashed with coldness.
This group of intercepting martial artists made Teng Qingshan shudder with fear.
He would rather commit suicide than be captured!
The more he felt that his opponent was ruthless, the angrier Teng Qingshan became.
"Don't let me find out. Once I find out who the culprit is …" Teng Qingshan was definitely not a good person. When he was seventeen years old, during the battle at the Great Yan Mountain, his father, uncle, and the others had suffered a calamity. Although Teng Qingshan's strength was far inferior to Qing Hu Island's, he still dared to take revenge!
Moreover, the current Teng Qingshan had no one in the world that he truly needed to look up to.
*****
The Xing Yi Sect immediately activated their greatest power and started to investigate the identities of the more than 100 people who had died. One had to know that there were over a hundred sets of high-grade armor, weapons, and poisons. They were all breakthroughs in the investigation! Moreover, there were over a hundred powerful martial artists, so it was unlikely that all of them were nobodies.
In just seven short days, there was a shocking result.
…
In the morning, in the parterre of the East Flower Garden, a young girl dressed in purple was holding a long spear and practicing her spear techniques. At the side, Teng Qingshan was watching with a smile.
"Father, how was my practice?" After Honglin stopped, her cheeks flushed. She looked at Teng Qingshan with a smile.
"It does look like it. However, your 'Pursuing Shadow' spear, although it has that unending feeling, it's still not enough. But, it lacks a little bit of ruthlessness. " Teng Qingshan extended his hand, and the long spear in Honglin's hand was teleported into Teng Qingshan's hand. "Look carefully. Collapsing Fist like an Arrow! This' Pursuing Shadow Spear 'must also be like an arrow leaving the bow. "
As he spoke, Teng Qingshan easily grabbed a long spear with one hand and held it horizontally. Then, he spun it and stabbed!
Puchi!
The air seemed to be pierced.
"Also, Linlin," Teng Qingshan said with a smile, "Now, your Bursting Fist and Pursuing Shadow Spear Art can be considered to have reached the Initial Success stage. From today onwards, when you practice Bursting Fist, no matter if your feet are improving or regressing. Only half a step is allowed! "
"Half-step? Honglin shook her head. "It's too short. It's not strong enough."
Teng Qingshan smiled and said, "If you're not used to it, use iron chains to lock your feet. No matter if your feet are improving or regressing, only half a step is allowed! When will you truly master the 'Half-step Bursting Fist'? You will only be able to reach the Grandmaster Innate Realm. "Since his son's talent in martial arts wasn't considered outstanding, he could only train his daughter well.
Honglin nodded.
"Teacher!" At this moment, a person walked over from afar. It was Yang Dong.
"Senior Martial Brother Yang." Honglin smiled and greeted him.
Yang Dong smiled and nodded. Then, he whispered to Teng Qingshan, "Teacher, the results have been found."
"Found?" Teng Qingshan's facial expression changed. "Let's go." Teng Qingshan immediately brought his disciple to the study room. After the door was closed with a 'squeak', Yang Dong immediately took out a piece of information respectfully and said, "Teacher, this is the result of the investigation from Eldest Martial Brother's side. Teacher, take a look. "
With a cold face, Teng Qingshan took the piece of information from his disciple's hands.
According to the information, the investigation started with the weapons, armor, and the identity of the martial artists. However, it was obvious that the difficulty of investigating the weapons was higher. Among the over one hundred martial artists, the identities of three had been found!
"Three." Teng Qingshan nodded to himself.
There were countless martial artists in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Many of them were unknown in their sects. It was already very difficult for the Xing Yi Sect's information network to be able to find out the identities of these three people.
"Guo Jiexiu? Gan Zitao? "Teng Qingshan looked at the first two names and his facial expression changed.
According to the information, these two people were members of Emperor Yu's Hall!
"Emperor Yu's Hall!" Teng Qingshan was enraged. "It's fine if they want to attract the disciples of the branch of Internal Martial Art with small favors. It's fine if they want to frame us … I didn't expect them to be so insatiable. They actually dared to slaughter the disciples of the Xing Yi Sect! " There was no founding master who could remain calm when someone tried to slaughter over a thousand of his disciples with sinister methods.
Glory! Reputation!
It was all achieved with one's fists!
Yang Dong, who was at the side, felt that his teacher Teng Qingshan's eyes were as dazzling and frightening as lightning. The murderous aura also shocked him.
"Eh? This is … "
After reading the detailed introduction of Guo Jiexiu and Gan Zitao, Teng Qingshan flipped to the next page and saw the third person. He couldn't help but be shocked. "Chu Xinglong? Qing … Qing Hu Island??? " Teng Qingshan was originally angry because of these two people. He even wanted to go to Emperor Yu's Hall to settle the score. But now, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.
"Qing Hu Island?" Teng Qingshan frowned. "Why are there people of Qing Hu Island among them?"
"Teacher." Yang Dong cupped his hands and said, "I have already seen them. I am also confused … Why are there people of Qing Hu Island among these three people?"
Teng Qingshan shook his head and said with a frown, "Back then, I killed the Blind Swordmaster of Qing Hu Island and captured the Island Lord, Tie Pan, alive. After that, the entire Qing Hu Island fell apart and completely collapsed. Only a few loyal people hid in various places and prepared to make a comeback. Most of them have already dispersed and live ordinary lives. "
"However, why is this Chu Xinglong among them?" Teng Qingshan frowned.
"Teacher."
Yang Dong said solemnly, "In my opinion, there are two possibilities."
"First, the remnants of Qing Hu Island might be behind this incident. They want to take revenge. Therefore, they gathered some people. Guo Jiexiu and Gan Zitao, the two people of Emperor Yu's Hall, were among them. This means that Emperor Yu's Hall can't escape responsibility. "
"Second, this incident is completely the revenge of Emperor Yu's Hall! When Qing Hu Island was destroyed, many disciples of Qing Hu Island left Yangzhou one after another. Or they became soldiers of Emperor Yu's Hall. Or they joined other sects. This Chu Xinglong might have joined after Qing Hu Island was destroyed. He might have joined Emperor Yu's Hall. This time, over a hundred people were all organized by Emperor Yu's Hall! "
Yang Dong said these two possibilities.
Teng Qingshan nodded. He couldn't help but clench his teeth and frown. His heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
"Teacher, what should we do?" Yang Dong asked.
"This incident has been strange since the beginning." Teng Qingshan frowned and said, "A mysterious innate expert leaked information to Emperor Yu's Hall. Then, this incident happened! However — although it's strange, this incident is definitely related to Emperor Yu's Hall. "
Because of his doubts, Teng Qingshan didn't plan to go to Emperor Yu's Hall immediately.
"Continue to investigate!"
"Those armors and weapons. How did the over a hundred people appear? Investigate their whereabouts carefully. " Teng Qingshan ordered. Although he was angry at Emperor Yu's Hall, Teng Qingshan didn't want to kill his way to Emperor Yu's Hall before he figured out the truth.
… …
In the blink of an eye, it was already March.
In March, the entire Yangzhou was filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. At the foot of the Great Yan Mountain, many tourists came to see the sacred land of Internal Martial Arts.
Naturally, a flourishing town was formed at the foot of the Great Yan Mountain.
"Brother, the three of us went through many hardships from Yuzhou to the Great Yan Mountain and joined the Xing Yi Sect. It has been eight years now. Junior Martial Brother, when you go back to visit your relatives, you should also visit my father and mother. Here is some silver. Please take it with you. "In a restaurant, three young men were drinking and chatting.
One of them, a handsome young man wearing a green cloak, nodded and sighed, "It has been eight years! I don't know how my adoptive father has been these eight years. Sigh, I'm unfilial. I haven't been by his side for eight years. I just asked someone to take some silver back. "
"Brother, you are the most powerful among the three of us. The most promising one was now a corporal in the Blood Wolf Army. If your adoptive father knew, he would be very happy. "
"Junior Martial Brother Gongyu." Another short and fat man smiled and said, "A man's ambition is to travel far and wide. Your adoptive father also asked you to come with us. Unfortunately, we can't go back just because we want to. "No matter which sect, as long as one was a disciple, there was a limit to the number of times one could visit one's relatives.
The further one's home was, the greater the limit.
After all, some places were tens of thousands of Li away. A round trip could take more than half a year. How could that be? If they were allowed to visit their relatives once a year … That would be equivalent to traveling for more than half a year.
"Alright, Senior Martial Brothers. Let's not talk anymore. It's about time. The trade caravan from the guild is gathering. "The young man named Gongyu stood up.
The two young men who saw him off also stood up.
"No need to see me off. Senior Martial Brothers, I will leave first." Gongyu cupped his hands and said.
"Be careful on the road." The two young men watched as the man named Gongyu left.
In the town, the trade caravan from the Qingshan guild was gathering.
This time, Gongyu left with the trade caravan and headed to Yuzhou to visit his relatives.
"Everyone is here. Let's go!" The leader of the trade caravan ordered.
Immediately, this trade caravan of almost a thousand people left the Great Yan Mountain and headed towards Yuzhou.
On the desolate official road.
The young man named Gongyu rode on a horse and followed the trade caravan. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the Great Yan Mountain. At this distance, the Great Yan Mountain was already a blur. Gongyu thought to himself, "Xing Yi Sect! Teacher, Martial Brothers … I'm sorry. You can't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame that Teng Qingshan!!! "
"Eight years!"
"Eight years … During these eight years, I was a disciple of the Xing Yi Sect. I was a corporal of the Blood Wolf Army. From now on, I am no longer a corporal! "A cold light flashed in Gongyu's eyes.
