Wuxia: Slay enemies to boost your cultivation; my power is boundless!

"The timing matches up, from the incident on the river to arriving in Xiahe Town... I just don't know what the young master and Brother Wu did to offend Shen Lang!" Qu Bufan looked at Wu Ming's corpse and shook his head.

He was invited to join the Twelve Linked Forts a few years ago and has nothing to do with Wu Ming.

Although Wu Ming was only a sixth-rank official, his status in the Twelve Linked Forts was not low because of his surname. Now that Wu Ming is dead, the uproar will probably be even greater than that caused by Guan Yunpeng's death.

Guan Tianwu looked at the shopkeeper and said coldly:

Tell me everything you see!

Why did Shen Lang try to kill my son?

The shopkeeper trembled, gritted his teeth, and said:

"I don't know the specifics, but it started when the young master and this old man Wu had a conflict at the inn, and he wouldn't let Shen Lang leave, so the conflict broke out."

"Shen Lang killed one person first, then left the inn, and I don't know what happened after that."

Hearing this,

Many people were taken aback.

The young master and Elder Wu had a conflict.

This is how the same thing?

"Nonsense!" Guan Tianwu shouted coldly, frightening the shopkeeper so much that he knelt on the ground, too afraid to move.

"Investigate!" Guan Tianwu narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"Go and find out exactly who this Shen Lang is!"

"Yes!" the two trusted confidants replied hastily, then turned and left.

Guan Tianwu then looked at Qu Bufan, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said:

"What level do you think Shen Lang's martial arts have reached?"

"Such strength at such a young age, what will the future hold..."

Qu Bufan shook his head:

"As long as it's not some kind of cultivation method involving sexual exploitation, someone who has reached this level at such a young age, and as long as they don't die young, is destined to be a name on the Dragon and Tiger List in the future."

Guan Tianwu murmured:

"In that case, they absolutely cannot be allowed to stay!"

Just at this time,

Whoosh whoosh!

The sound of someone lightly stepping on a branch could be heard.

"Who?"

Qu Bufan suddenly turned his head and then slammed his palm in the direction from which the sound came.

boom!

The sharp palm strike shot through the air.

boom!

A loud bang was heard.

A figure was forced out by Qu Bufan's palm strike.

"Jiang Hua?" Qu Bufan said coldly upon seeing the newcomer's true face.

"How dare you come to my Dongjiang County alone!"

Jiang Hua, the "scholar," chuckled and said:

"I went downstream from Linshui County last night, but unfortunately I was too late, otherwise perhaps such a disaster would not have occurred."

"Does anyone know Shen Lang's true identity?"

"His true identity?" Qu Bufan said coldly, "Does that mean you know Shen Lang's background?"

Guan Tianwu also said coldly:

"Tell me everything you know, or you won't be leaving today!"

Jiang Hua smiled:

"At least for this moment, Chief Guan, we have a common enemy."

“Shen Lang also killed people from my Sanjiang Alliance. If my Sanjiang Alliance and your Twelve Linked Forts can’t handle Shen Lang, we will all become a laughing stock in the future.”

Qu Bufan frowned:

"Without further ado!"

Jiang Hua grinned and said:

"Have any of you heard of the name Xiao Bieli?"

Xiao Bieli?

Guan Tianwu looked at Qu Bufan, clearly having never heard of him.

Qu Bufan frowned and said:

"It seems that Liu Jun is looking for Xiao Bieli!"

"No... Liu Jun also died on the river yesterday. You mean Shen Lang is Xiao Bieli?"

"Isn't Xiao Bieli only seventeen years old?"

"How could it be Shen Lang?"

A 21-year-old sixth-rank disciple has the qualifications to be listed on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, but a 17-year-old sixth-rank disciple is different. Even in top sects, he could become a true disciple, or even be accepted as a direct disciple by a sect expert.

Guan Tianwu's expression also turned serious, and he said coldly:

"You didn't lie to me?"

Jiang Hua shook his head:

There's no benefit in lying to you about this.

“Yesterday, one of my Sanjiang Alliance members was lucky enough to survive. He heard this with his own ears. Moreover, Liu Jun was looking for Xiao Bieli yesterday with the Tracking Gu.”

"What a coincidence that Shen Lang and Xiao Bieli are on the same ship!"

"Shen Lang and Xiao Bieli are the same person!"

“The enmity between your Twelve Linked Forts and Xiao Bieli is now deeper than that between our Three Rivers Alliance. You should know what a seventeen-year-old sixth-rank official represents.”

"Therefore, Chief Guan should get rid of Xiao Bieli as soon as possible!"

"Once such a genius matures, everyone will be doomed!"

After saying that, Jiang Hua lightly leaped away and headed into the distance.

Guan Tianwu clenched his fists and said in a deep voice:

"Spread the word that Shen Lang is Xiao Bieli, and issue a warrant for his arrest throughout the entire prefecture!"

……

after one day.

After Guan Yunpeng, the young leader of the Twelve Linked Docks, died at the hands of Shen Lang, and the news spread that Shen Lang was Xiao Bieli.

The entire Dongjiang County was in an uproar.

The main hall of Zuihualou.

"Is Shen Lang the Xiao Bieli that Baiyun Manor has been searching for for one or two months?"

"I used to think Shen Lang was a chivalrous young hero from Dongjiang County. Who would have thought he would turn out to be a villain like Xiao Bieli?"

"Heh, such a prodigy, do you really think he's as impressive as they've made him out to be?"

"Yes... If I reach the sixth rank at seventeen, what kind of woman can't I get?"

"Hehe...you guys don't know this, some people just like their sister-in-law's taste!"

"Now that Xiao Bieli has killed Guan Yunpeng, the young master of the Twelve Linked Fortresses, and Elder Wu Ming, he has completely offended the Twelve Linked Fortresses. It seems that even Zhou Chang, the third master of Baiyun Manor, died at his hands. Xiao Bieli is probably doomed!"

"However, Xiao Bieli's martial arts skills are truly unparalleled. Even the Third Master Zhou Chang died at his hands. Have you heard? Now, people outside have given Xiao Bieli a bandit nickname: 'Blood Blade Vajra'!"

Why is it called 'Blood Blade Vajra'?

"You don't know this, Xiao Bieli's weapon is a crimson blade. The more blood it draws, the redder the blade becomes. Moreover, Xiao Bieli possesses a terrifyingly powerful martial art, making him as formidable as a Vajra when fighting!"

"..."

Han Wuyin listened to the conversation around him, picked up his wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

'Is Shen Lang Xiao Bieli?'

So... I really was the one who took the blame for him that night?

He felt somewhat depressed when he thought about what happened in Lechun County.

I thought he was taking the blame for someone else, but it turns out he was taking the blame for Xiao Bieli.

However, without Xiao Bieli's intervention, with his current strength, he would really need to find an opportunity to kill Sun Changhe, and even then, success was not guaranteed.

Han Wuyin murmured:

"Blood Blade Vajra, that's a powerful nickname, but it doesn't sound like a good person!"

"Offending the Sanjiang Alliance was dangerous enough in itself."

"Now both the Twelve Linked Docks and Baiyun Manor are looking for him, so it's probably going to be very difficult for him to escape from Dongjiang County."

"Would you like me to make an introduction?"

"However, once you join my Blood-Clad Pavilion, from now on..."

"Never mind, let's find Xiao Bieli's whereabouts first and ask for his opinion."

……

Dongjiang County.

Zhenwu Hall.

A handsome young man in blue robes, with a face as fair as jade and a striking, almost superhuman appearance, stood by the window on the second floor of the Zhenwu Hall. Looking at the documents in his hand, he turned to Zhu Shou and said:

"Is this the reliable person you recommended to me?"

Sweat dripped from Zhu Shou's forehead as he said:

“Young Master, I didn’t know that Shen Lang was Xiao Bieli. It’s just that when he took on missions at my Zhenwu Hall, he always hired those wicked people, and he was even willing to buy information from Jiangshan Pavilion… so…”
