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

Guo Huai shook his head:

“I just examined Gu Xuan’s body. The fatal wound on his body was a malevolent one!”

"It seems to have come from hell!"

"Even if I were to face that blow, I would most likely be severely injured."

"That stab couldn't have happened to a seventeen-year-old!"

"If it weren't for the fact that the Grandmaster cultivated such a demonic blade, he would have become a slave to it long ago!"

Sun Yicheng nodded:

"It seems that Xiao Bieli must have someone backing him up!"

"I wonder which prince it is!"

"The position of Crown Prince is vacant, and the three princes are using the martial world as pawns in their attempts to prove their abilities. This is not a blessing for the martial world!"

Guo Huai's expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice:

"Be careful!"

"The imperial court is powerful. If those few families don't step in, even the Nine Factions and Six Gangs wouldn't dare to disobey the imperial court's will!"

"Don't say that again!"

"The Blood-Clad Tower people once concealed some information for Xiao Bieli, so the person who made the move is probably an assassin from the Blood-Clad Tower!"

Just at this time,

A rapid sound of horses' hooves approached.

Sun Yicheng and Guo Huai both looked in the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came.

A man who looked to be in his early forties, carrying a broadsword on his back, rode at the front of the procession, looking somewhat travel-worn.

The moment they saw who it was, Sun Yicheng and Guo Huai's expressions changed.

'Thunder Swordsman' Dongfang Yang!

A third-rank Grandmaster of the Cangyuan Sword Sect!

This is a truly great figure who broke through the barrier between life and death and was born with a primordial spirit!

They also have a formidable reputation among the nine factions and six gangs!

Behind Dongfang Yang were more than a dozen people, the weakest of whom was at least a sixth-rank martial artist. One of the old men had a faint glow between his eyebrows, revealing him to be a fourth-rank grandmaster!

Sun Yicheng and Guo Huai exchanged a glance, then jumped out of the window, landing on the long street. They bowed respectfully to Dongfang Yang.

"The Great Hero of the East!"

"Senior Dongfang!"

By this time, many people had already recognized Sun Yicheng's identity, after all, he had appeared here quite a few times recently.

But now this true disciple of the Salt Gang is actually bowing to the person who is coming on horseback, which clearly means that the person is no ordinary person!

"It's Zhang Daxia, the 'Phantom Palm' master!"

"He actually came in person!"

Someone recognized the grandmaster following behind Dongfang Yang and exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Tao, known as the "Phantom Palm," is one of the four grandmasters of Manzhou.

Dongfang Yang didn't even glance at Sun Yicheng and the other man. He dismounted and walked towards the Zhenwu Hall of Dongjiang County.

Sun Yicheng and Guo Huai dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

A third-grade Grandmaster is already a top expert in the martial arts world. Even though Sun Yicheng believes that his martial arts skills are still above Xue Zhou's, as is his talent, he dares not say that he has a 30% chance of stepping into the third-grade Grandmaster realm!

Breaking through the barrier between life and death has been a daunting task for countless exceptional talents.

Apart from the top three on the Dragon and Tiger List, who dares to say they can reliably become a third-grade Grandmaster?

Moreover, when Dongfang Yang was young, he was also among the top ten on the Dragon and Tiger List.

"The Great Hero of the East..."

Xiao Long, the leader of the Zhenwu Hall, quickly followed.

Sun Yicheng and Guo Huai also entered the Zhenwu Hall, but all the other martial arts practitioners were stopped at the door.

"Such swordsmanship!"

"The Seven Kill Blade is reminiscent of this; could it be related to the Demonic Sect?"

Zhang Tao, the master of 'Phantom Palm,' frowned slightly.

Although the Eight Demonic Sects have been weak in recent years, only guarding a few of the most remote states in the twenty-four states of the Great Qian Dynasty, they have also been suppressed by the imperial court.

However, the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Gu God Sect, two of the Eight Demonic Sects, have been established for thousands of years and have remained standing ever since.

Although the Demon Blade Sect is not as powerful as the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Gu God Sect, its strength is by no means weak.

Although he wanted to be on good terms with the Cangyuan Sword Sect, he did not want to provoke such a force.

He had also heard that those demonic cultivators, living in poverty, acted in extreme ways, and if provoked, they could easily face the extermination of their entire family.

Given Xiao Bieli's behavior, he might very well be a young prodigy secretly cultivated by the Demon Blade Sect.

"So what if it's the Demon Blade Sect?" Dongfang Yang said indifferently.

"He killed a true disciple of my Cangyuan Sword Sect, even the Demon Blade Sect cannot protect him!"

"No matter where he is, Xiao Bieli is doomed!"

After speaking, Dongfang Yang took out the 'Tracking Gu'.

A disciple from Baiyun Manor quickly handed over several pieces of Xiao Bieli's personal clothing that he had once retrieved from Lechun County.

A stream of true energy was injected into the 'Tracking Gu'.

The tracking gu crawled onto the clothes, then started wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly.

Dongfang Yang's face was grim.

Sun Yicheng quickly said:

“This kid is indeed cunning. He probably has a way to evade the ‘tracking Gu’, and may have even escaped.”

"However, if this boy reappears, he will surely not escape your ruthless methods!"

Dongfang Yang's expression returned to normal, and he sneered:

"Of course he can't escape!"

"I'm going to Xuanji Valley to have them calculate Xiao Bieli's location!"

Guo Huai was slightly taken aback. Although Xuanji Valley was not one of the Nine Sects and Six Gangs, its strength was not weak. It was a Jianghu force second only to the Nine Sects and Six Gangs.

Although the Heavenly Calculation Master of Xuanji Valley is very famous, he can only predict a person's general direction. Moreover, Xiao Bieli is a living person and may not stay in one place.

Unless Dongfang Yang has a master of divination by his side, he will not be able to find Xiao Bieli's location until he finds him.

However, Xuanji Valley is no pushover.

Even though the Cangyuan Sword Sect has now become the leader of the nine sects, it may not allow Dongfang Yang to run rampant.

……

half a month later.

Yanzhou.

The vast desert is desolate and silent.

A figure, completely covered up, walked through the desert. His steps were light yet firm, and the scorching sun cast a long shadow.

After walking for a long time, finally, a small town standing amidst the wind and sand appeared before Xiao Bieli's eyes.

After leaving Manzhou, he rode swiftly to Yanzhou.

Yanzhou is very large.

It's four times the size of a barbarian state!

However, there are not many places in Yanzhou suitable for human habitation. Within this area of ​​dozens of miles, only Liusha Town has a little water source, so many caravans and travelers will rest in Liusha Town for a while.

The wind howled and sandstorms filled the sky.

Today is clearly not a suitable day for traveling; apart from Xiao Bieli, there are no other travelers on the road.

When Xiao Bieli entered Liusha Town, the town was completely silent, as if there wasn't a single living person there.

But Xiao Bieli didn't care at all.

Instead, he headed towards the center of town, and finally, as he approached the town's only restaurant, the noise reached Xiao Bieli's ears.

creak!

Xiao Bieli pushed open the door of the inn, and yellow sand poured into the inn.

"Bah bah bah!"

"Who would go out in this awful weather?"

"Close the door right now! My wine is full of sand!"

"..."

A murmur of discontent arose.

Xiao Bieli closed the restaurant door again. Outside, the wind and sand were blowing fiercely, but inside the restaurant was full of people.

The moment they saw Xiao Bieli, many people's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity.

Xiao Bieli didn't care and shouted at the young shopkeeper:

"Stay and eat at the same time!"

"Please fill my water bottle while you're at it!"

The shopkeeper, sitting behind the counter, slightly raised his eyelids and said calmly:

"Five taels of silver a night!"

"Such a large pot of water costs fifteen taels of silver!"

"Ten taels for food!"

"Alright!" Xiao Bieli tossed a large ingot of silver and a water jug ​​to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the silver ingot, put it in his mouth and bit it. After confirming that it was genuine, a smile appeared on his face, and he said:

"Please wait a moment, sir!"

"The food will be here soon!"

"A horse broke its leg yesterday, and we still have some excellent horse meat in the shop. Would you like to try some, sir?"
