The Villain's Counterattack

How does it look?

This was very Songshan style. The man in white didn't say it out loud. The man in black narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "After being awakened by Junior Brother Yue, I already cleaned out that group of people. What's the point of keeping a dog that can never be tamed? Are you going to use it as a handle for Junior Brother Yue to make an example of my Songshan Sect? Even now, I'm still no match for Junior Brother Yue. My Songshan Sect's foundation is far inferior to that of the Huashan Sect."

At this point, the man in black looked up at the sky and sneered, "But foundation needs to be accumulated. One day, the Songshan Sect will rise again, and the position of leader of the Five Mountains will return to our Songshan Sect."

However, two masters, one black and one white, were talking to each other across the street, but no one around could hear their voices. Their martial arts skills were terrifying. On the other side, Sun Yuankai was fleeing in a panic through the streets and alleys. Suddenly, a figure came out from the side, made a gesture to him, and continued to move forward on his behalf.

Sun Yuankai was shocked, then he reacted and rolled over to hide in a water tank in front of a house. He heard a burst of hurried footsteps passing by, and there was no new movement for a while. Then he slowly stood up and pushed open the lid on his head. A strange old face like dry tree bark appeared in front of him.

Before he could scream, a puff of smoke rushed into his mouth and nose, and Sun Yuankai felt dizzy and fell into the jar. Two figures flashed out, tied him up and stuffed him into a sack, and quickly slipped into a house not far away.

Tunnels are standard equipment for intelligence personnel and wealthy families. There are many nobles in Huayin County. Sometimes, while digging, they find that they can connect with each other. Although it is a little awkward, there is a lot of understanding between them. They can negotiate and resolve the matter afterwards. It just depends on who is more powerful.

The Demon Cult might be more intimidating elsewhere, but not in Huayin County. The new leader had issued a strict order prohibiting conflict with the Huashan Sect, lest they be severely punished. "Do you think their three top masters are just for show?" Therefore, the Sun and Moon Cult had to invest heavily in Huayin County, purchasing properties and buildings in large tracts, in order to establish a complete intelligence system.

After three underground transfers and bypassing the inspection of the yamen runners, the three first-class masters left Huayin County with the bagged Sun Yuankai. There was a team of people outside the city to meet them. One of them rode two horses and galloped away, completely unaware that two figures were following him slowly behind him.

"Junior brother Yue's 'Gentleman's Journey' light skill is quite unique. Although it lacks short-range explosive power, it is quite durable. I want to promote it in Songshan. What do you think, junior brother Yue?" The man in black carried a big sword on his back, but his gestures were a little awkward, as if a burly man was embroidering, a little shy.

On the other hand, the man in white performed the same Qinggong technique naturally and smoothly, as if flowing like clouds and water, a delight to the eyes. "This Qinggong technique was originally created for scholars and literati on the road. It focuses on low energy consumption, not speed. The lower limit is very low, but the upper limit is quite high. A first-rate expert can use it as a first-rate Qinggong, a second-rate expert can use it as a second-rate Qinggong, and a third-rate expert can only use it as a third-rate Qinggong, which is not worth much. Now that I have made it public, I am not afraid of others learning it."

There was one thing he didn't make clear, which was that this light skill required a very high foundation. "A Gentleman's Journey of Ten Thousand Miles" was not only about traveling a thousand miles, it also had requirements for the gentleman. Only by understanding the core could it be considered a top-notch light skill, otherwise it would be half the result with twice the effort. Like Senior Brother Zuo, it was also a first-class effect, but when used by oneself, not only did it consume very little, it also could be used to improve skills, cultivate sentiments, and foster the spirit of a gentleman. This was the complete "A Gentleman's Journey of Ten Thousand Miles".

Songshan School's martial arts came half from the military and half from Shaolin, and had nothing to do with Confucianism. This light skill could only be considered second-rate in their hands. Thinking of this, the man in white suddenly felt refreshed, and an inexplicable sense of superiority filled his body, as if his realm had been slightly improved.

Why was this? Could it be that teaching and educating people wasn't just about targeting specific individuals, but could also be effective by bringing outsiders in? The man in white thought as he ran, deciding to give it a try. It would be even better if he could develop the Demon Cult into a Gentlemen's Sect as well.

At sunrise, Sun Yuankai slowly woke up and found himself tied to a big tree. There were more than a dozen strange people around him, including men and women, old and strong. Not only were they dressed in strange shapes, but they also had different hairstyles. It was obvious at a glance that they were not good people.

The leader was a long-haired monk, wielding a pair of tiger-headed knives bent into a half-moon shape. He gestured towards Sun Yuankai, seemingly searching for a place to strike. Sun Yuankai cried out in surprise, and the long-haired monk laughed strangely, saying, "It's good you've woken up. I was recently ordered to go out to the border and learned some skills from Black Bear and White Bear. I've gained some experience in preparing human flesh, and I'm just about to put it to the test. I just hope you can hold on a little longer and not let these knives of mine become useless."

Sun Yuankai was not particularly afraid of death, but pain and torture were different. The last time he was messed up by the pockmarked rickshaw driver, it was indeed a deep memory for him. Now he fell into the hands of this group of evil people who were obviously not good people. He was afraid that it would be even worse.

"Please spare my life, my dear men. I will obey your orders without hesitation." Sun Yuankai's appearance as a well-behaved grandson really made people want to laugh. The middle-aged woman with heavy makeup next to him frowned and said coldly, "Qiu Songnian, are you sure this is the person the leader is looking for? Why is he so unbearable?"

The long-haired monk nodded and said, "I hired many people to follow the clues of this old fellow all the way from the capital and found him. Judging from his appearance, he is definitely not wrong. You have all read the information about this old fellow. He was originally a mediocre carpenter, but suddenly he has the skills of a second-rate expert. He must be the one the leader is looking for."

"Although the leader publicly defended him, stating that the 'Star Absorbing Art' had never been passed on, and he also confirmed that the art had never been leaked, the world is vast and full of wonders. Is the 'Star Absorbing Art' the only method for stealing other people's power? This is why the leader secretly ordered the arrest of this person. However, the leader also said that this person either just learned this art, or it also has many drawbacks, and may even have a limit on how many times it can be used. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until now, and failed on his first attempt to steal someone's power, taking only half."

The long-haired monk said with certainty, "No matter what, this man must have a secret. I intend to offer him to the leader in exchange for a martial art that suits me. What do you think, Madam Zhang?"

Madam Zhang hesitated for a moment, her eyes fixed on the evil beggar with two triangular-headed green snakes coiled around his shoulders not far away. The beggar shouted, "The Master has been so kind and has cured us of the poison pills. We are so grateful, but this man has a tempting secret. Why don't we just tell him the secret and take it out, then hand it over to the Holy Master. This will not only repay the Holy Master, but also benefit everyone."

Everyone laughed in unison, "Serve the Holy Master!" "Rain and dew shall be shared equally!"

Sun Yuankai shook his head repeatedly and said, "As long as you don't kill me, I'll give you everything. Just put me down. There's a map in my shoe that records the ancient tomb where the secret technique was obtained. I drew this map myself, so it's probably difficult for others to understand it."

Then, Sun Yuankai was stripped naked and died by hitting his head against a tree, leaving the surrounding people stunned. The long-haired monk was covered in cold sweat and said, "How can this man be so stubborn? This is bad, this is the person the Holy Sect is looking for. If people knew that he died in our hands, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? We are all family here. As long as we keep our mouths shut, how can outsiders know it was us? What's more, we didn't succeed in the first place and don't know the secret method, so we won't be discovered afterwards. It's a pity that the secret method was lost, but with this map, there is still some hope. Maybe there is not only the secret method in the ancient tomb, but also other treasures. After all, this old guy is not strong enough and can't compare to us real masters." Madam Zhang said, and unfolded the map like a ninja, but when she looked at it carefully, she found that she had been deceived. It was actually a rough map of the capital, and the place specially marked was the imperial palace.

cheated!

But in the next moment, everyone felt a chill all over their body. Sun Liuyuan's naked body on the ground disappeared little by little. In a blink of an eye, only the empty ground was left, and the blood splattered on the tree also disappeared without a trace.

Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly felt that the reason why the Holy Church leader was looking for this person was probably not for the "Star Absorbing Art", but for this secret art of immortality!

According to Ge Changlao, this person had died in front of her once before, but he quickly vanished without a trace, leaving nothing behind. She originally thought it was just a trick, but now it seems there really is a big secret!

"Return to Huayin County immediately, this man cannot die!" Several masters looked at each other, turned around and rode away straight to Huayin County.

In the woods not far away, two figures, one black and one white, quietly appeared. They carefully checked everything around them, looked at the clothes thrown aside, and both showed expressions of horror.

No!

There is not a drop of blood or a single hair on the clothes. This is definitely not normal!

"Resurrection from the dead?" The man in black's face was filled with enthusiasm. The man in white glanced at him and said, "We can only confirm that it's not a trick. Only he knows the details. But this secret is likely to cause a bloody storm."

The man in black was shocked and nodded silently. There are so many evildoers. When will our Songshan Sect rise up?
