Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

"Special training" in the Valley of Evil.

Zhao Xu continued to improve his control over his own strength and his combat skills.

Not everyone can have the opportunity to practice with a master like Yan Nantian for free.

Zhao Xu had to say "thumbs up" for the benefits of this.

Yan Nantian not only has a high level of cultivation, but also has made remarkable achievements in swordsmanship.

His third level of sword intent, Sword Intentions of Heaven and Earth, had already been perfected.

He created his own sword technique, which is vigorous and sharp.

With a long sword, he could create a feeling of fighting like a mighty army.

Zhao Xu sometimes couldn't help but wonder if Yan Nantian was a general who fought on the battlefield in the past.

Yan Nantian is the strongest swordsman Zhao Xu has ever seen.

Under such training, Zhao Xu made rapid progress.

time is limited.

Although they were still reluctant to leave, they had to rush back to Suzhou to make preparations before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

The population of Suzhou City has increased dramatically.

The lights are bright at night and various activities are exciting.

A relatively remote courtyard in the city.

Zhao Xu and Ren Ruyi stayed here.

The two of them had just visited Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua's residence.

"Ruyi, thank you for your hard work during this period!"

Ren Ruyi shook his head.

"I didn't know before that I could do so many things besides killing people."

"The development of 'Twelve Hours' can not only help ourselves, but also help others."

As she spoke, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

Ren Ruyi has always been a woman who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Zhao Xu held her hand in his.

He said warmly:

"After a while, when the time is right, we will mobilize our forces to find out the cause of Empress Zhaojie's death!"

After hearing what Zhao Xu said, Ren Ruyi's eyes reddened.

"Um"

After a brief warmth, the two began to discuss recent intelligence.

"Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the flow of people in Suzhou City has increased greatly. Many martial artists have appeared on the streets."

"The properties of Murong Villa are often harassed by these people."

The situation that Ren Ruyi described was what Zhao Xu had already anticipated.

"When a whale falls, all things come to life. The Yihua Palace is powerful, and these people want to gain some benefits from the defeated Murong Villa."

"Which powerful people have shown up now?"

"Your acquaintance Shangguan Haitang has been staying at Murong Villa a few days ago."

Zhao Xu expected that Hulong Villa would send someone, but it was only Shangguan Haitang.

"She's the only one?"

"That's true on the surface, but our intelligence shows that Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao haven't been seen for some time."

After hearing this, Zhao Xu understood that these two people must be hiding in the dark.

"With Hulong Villa on the move, his old rival, the East Factory, cannot possibly not take action."

"The East Factory is led by the fourth-rank leader Liu Xi this time, with the cooperation of the third-rank leader Pi Xiaotian. The group calmed down when they arrived in Suzhou, and there are no major actions for the time being."

The East Factory will quiet down. Zhao Xu wants to laugh when he hears this.

"Keep a close eye on the East Factory's every move. It's a man-eating venomous snake."

"Um"

Liu Xi suffered a loss in the matter of Jiang Biehe.

Hua Wuque once revealed his identity as the heir of Yihua Palace in Jiang Mansion.

Zhao Xu suspected that Liu Xi would find a way to retaliate against Yihua Palace.

"There's no movement at the six gates."

"Qingyi Tower has been very active in Suzhou recently. It is said that someone paid a large sum of money to invite Qingyi Tower to Suzhou to handle an important event." Ren Ruyi said.

Zhao Xu could understand that the Six Gates didn't want to get involved.

But what is the situation with Qingyi Building?

Zhao Xu's eyes became deeper.

"Make Qingyi Building a key location for investigation."

……

Jiuxiu Villa is now very lively.

The two supreme grand masters gathered here. Apart from the imperial court, warriors of this level rarely met in the martial arts world.

"Kings do not meet kings" is almost a tacit understanding.

Gu Santong and Cheng Shifei have been at Jiuxiu Villa for some time.

Although there is no worry about food and drink, it still gets a bit boring after a long time.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu's return brought a big surprise to Gu Santong, Yan Nantian.

Although twenty years of life in Tianlao made Gu Santong much more mature, his desire for martial arts had never been extinguished.

When Yan Nantian arrived at Jiuxiu Villa, Gu Santong was naturally happy.

Mid-Autumn Festival Eve.

Ancient three-way room.

"Master, Junior Brother, I hope you have a smooth journey!"

After Zhao Xu returned to Suzhou, he was busy with various things and had never met with Gu Santong alone to reminisce about the past.

Cheng Shifei spoke first: "Brother, your 'Twelve Hours' is really good. Our trips have been going smoothly over the past few months. It has been a great help."

Gu Santong also nodded.

"The Millennium Frost Coffin has been placed in the underground palace. Xiaoxu, how did you discover such a magical place?"

Given Gu Santong's personality, he was naturally curious about this matter.

Zhao Xu briefly introduced the origin of the underground palace and how he discovered it.

Shuzhong is located in the southwest, and the Emei Underground Palace is very hidden. Zhao Xu plans to turn it into the base camp of "Twelve Hours" in the Ming Dynasty.

After introducing the underground palace, Zhao Xu's expression became serious.

"Among Zhu Wushi's three secret agents, Shangguan Haitang has already moved into Murong Villa, and the other two are also hiding in the dark."

"I'm afraid that finding the whereabouts of the master is also one of their tasks."

After hearing what Zhao Xu said, Gu Santong laughed.

"This old pig really understands me. He knows that I like such grand gatherings of masters the most."

"It seems that I can't act easily tomorrow!"

Gu Santong smiled, and Zhao Xu's serious expression relaxed a lot.

"Uncle Yan will be there to support us tomorrow. Master will stay in the dark. There is no need to take action unless it is a critical moment."

"fair enough!"

After all, Gu Santong was a man who had just come out of the Heavenly Prison, so it was not easy for him to stand on one side or the other openly.

At this point, Zhao Xu seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became a little unnatural.

"Do you think Zhu Wusi will secretly go south and hide in the dark to observe?"

"what"

Zhao Xu's bold guess shocked Gu Santong.

Thinking about how he escaped from the Heavenly Prison and took Su Xin away with him.

The old pig is now thinking he must be going crazy.

It is very likely that he will come secretly and look for you.

"It's possible. If that's the case, I'll have a big fight with the old pig."

After hearing Gu Santong say that it was possible, Zhao Xu said:

"In that case, Junior Brother, it would be better for you to stay at Jiuxiu Villa tomorrow."

Although Cheng Shifei was somewhat reluctant, it was because of his low martial arts skills!

midnight.

The light in Zhao Xu's room was still on.

There were only Zhao Xu, Ren Ruyi and Zhang Jing in the room.

"Ruyi, you and Xiyu and the others should not go to Murong Villa tomorrow. Let's get our intelligence network moving and monitor all directions here."

Ren Ruyi was a little surprised to hear Zhao Xu's arrangement.

"what are you worried about?"

"The East Factory has been quiet for some time, and the intentions of Qingyi Building are unclear."

"The battle with Yaoyue tomorrow is not scary. What is really scary is these forces with unclear intentions."

“We have to know where they are at all times.”

Zhao Xu was not worried about Yihua Palace in his heart. After all, the only real enemy of the entire Yihua Palace was Yao Yue.

Others, such as the Second Palace Master Lian Xing, are not as "crazy" as Yao Yue.

Now we have two peerless masters, Yan Nantian and Gu Santong.

No matter how he looked at it, Zhao Xu felt that "the advantage was in me."
