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

"A whetstone?"

Looking at the letter in his hand, Zhuo Qingyun frowned slightly.

He dealt with Xiao Bieli because of the sect leader's hint. He understood the sect leader's meaning: only by having someone kill Lin Qingyuan's fiancé could he avoid affecting Lin Qingyuan's reputation.

Moreover, as the number one true disciple of the Cangyuan Sword Sect, his status within the sect is too high.

Killing Xiao Bieli also had some impact on his reputation.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Bieli, who was the same age as Lin Qingyuan, actually entered the Grandmaster realm.

And it can even kill Uncle Feng, the 'Soul-Shattering Sword'?

Putting the letter away, Zhuo Qingyun gazed into the distance and murmured:

"The medicinal power of the Primordial Spirit Pill has not been fully activated yet. However, it is impossible to break through the barrier between life and death and step into the Grandmaster realm by engaging in closed-door cultivation!"

"Xiao Bieli might really be a suitable whetstone for my sword!"

Do you know Xiao Bieli's current location?

The two shook their heads:

"All we know is that Xiao Bieli might be in Yanzhou."

"However, Elder Dongfang told you to go see him first after you finish your seclusion, Junior Brother!"

Zhuo Qingyun nodded:

"In that case, there's no time to lose!"

"I'll go find my martial uncle today!"

……

Two days later.

Yunzhou.

Longhe County, Zhenwei Escort Agency.

under night,

Zhuo Qingyun and Dongfang Yang stood on the roof of a house 300 meters away from Zhenwei Escort Agency.

"This Zhenwei Escort Agency is also a major escort agency in Yunzhou. I never expected it to be a contact point for the Blood Robe Tower?" Zhuo Qingyun exclaimed.

Before he joined the Cangyuan Sword Sect, he went to the sect to become an apprentice in the Zhenwei Escort Agency's caravan.

did not expect,

Today I will personally destroy Zhenwei Escort Agency.

Dongfang Yang said calmly:

"Xiao Bieli should be the successor of those old guys from the Blood Robe Tower. Since he killed Feng Lu in Yanzhou, he should naturally pay the price."

"The Sixth Prince has control over the locations of more than a dozen Blood-Clad Tower strongholds,"

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!

"Only the blood of the Blood-Clad Tower assassins can appease Feng Lu's spirit in heaven!"

"Moreover, you can use the blood of these assassins to get yourself back to your peak condition, and then you'll have a better chance of killing Xiao Bieli!"

Zhuo Qingyun frowned:

"Is Xiao Bieli really that strong?"

Dongfang Yang nodded:

"This child has made rapid progress and seems to have mastered two grandmaster-level sword techniques to perfection. He is probably only one step away from the third realm of swordsmanship, the realm where everything under heaven can be a sword."

"Even when I was at the peak of the fourth-grade Grandmaster level, it would have been difficult for me to kill Feng Lu and the other two with a single strike, let alone with five fifth-grade experts."

"Moreover, he should have also obtained the Primordial Spirit Pill. He is probably only one step away from breaking through the barrier between life and death, giving birth to a Primordial Spirit, and stepping into the third-grade Grandmaster realm!"

"But you don't need to worry. Your Void Wind Sword Technique and Four Directions Immovable Sword Technique have both reached their peak. Your understanding of the sword path is no less than Xiao Bieli's. In addition, with me supporting you from the side, Xiao Bieli is the best whetstone for you!"

"Time is up!"

As Dongfang Yang finished speaking...

With a light tap of his toes, Zhuo Qingyun swooped down like a large bird towards Zhenwei Escort Agency in the night.

Dongfang Yang did not move, but simply stood on the rooftop holding his long sword and watching.

After a while,

"who are you?"

Why do you dare to trespass on my Zhenwei Escort Agency?

"what……"

"Kill!"

A commotion erupted from inside Zhenwei Escort Agency. Some people had escaped from the agency, but they were all eliminated by experts from Cangyuan Sword Sect who were guarding the vicinity.

"Zhuo Qingyun!"

A powerful roar echoed from Zhenwei Escort Agency.

But a moment later, the shouts of battle within the Zhenwei Escort Agency ceased.

Zhuo Qingyun walked out of the escort agency carrying a human head.

That head was none other than the head of He Qian, the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) of Zhenwei镖局 (Zhenwei Escort Agency) known as "Mad Lion"!

……

Not just Zhenwei Escort Agency.

Overnight, nearly twenty contact points of the Blood Robe Tower were eliminated in the twenty-four prefectures of the Great Qian Dynasty, and three branch towers were even destroyed.

The world was shaken.

But soon,

The Blood-Clad Tower's counterattack has arrived.

Xie Cheng, a fourth-rank master of the Cangyuan Sword Sect, was killed in Yong'an County, and his head was hung on the city wall.

Cui Hao, the deputy leader of the Giant Spirit Gang, one of the six gangs, and a third-rank Grandmaster known as "Melting Gold Hand," was torn apart by five horses in Donghai County.

Cai Peng, the head of the Zhenwu Hall in Yuzhou, was assassinated by the Blood-Clad Tower assassins. Although he did not die, three of his fingers were severed by the assassins.

……

In just ten days, such news emerged one after another.

The entire martial arts world was in an uproar.

This is the most chaotic time in the martial arts world since the upheaval ninety years ago.

Normally, news of a grandmaster's death would only be heard once every few years.

But now that the Blood-Clad Tower has made its move, even the vice leader of the Giant Spirit Gang, a Grandmaster who was close to the peak of the third rank, has died.

Blood-Clad Tower truly lives up to its reputation as the number one assassin organization in the world.

……

Yanzhou.

Deep in the desert lies Full Moon City.

This place is the largest water source deep in the desert, with a huge freshwater lake that nourishes dozens of kilometers around Full Moon City.

Full Moon City is also located on the largest oasis deep in the desert.

The king of the desert, 'Camel Bell Venerable' Zhuomuer, lives in Full Moon City.

Given Zhuo Mu'er's prestige in the desert, even the Zhenwu Hall of Yanzhou had to give him some face, so there was only one Zhenwu Hall branch with less than ten people in Manyue City.

But what's even more unexpected is...

Right beneath the restaurant next to this Zhenwu Hall branch, there is a sizable underground space.

This is the territory of the Blood-Clad Tower.

At this time,

Xiao Bieli is located underground.

In front of him and Feng Si Niang were fine wines and several exquisite dishes.

"Thanks to your reminder, although the news didn't spread completely, we still avoided some losses." Feng Si Niang picked up the bowl full of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and looked at Xiao Bieli, saying:

“My dad and the others have already decided to make a move. If we don’t show our fangs soon, those gangs from the Nine Sects and Six Gangs will think we’re easy to bully.”

After saying that, Feng Si Niang took out a gray package, pushed it in front of Xiao Bieli, and said:

"There are three secret manuals here: a third-grade internal energy cultivation manual, a third-grade external martial arts manual, and a third-grade sword technique!"

"It's all free!"

Hearing Feng Si Niang's words, Xiao Bieli was not surprised at all. He knew from the beginning that Feng Si Niang was probably related to those core assassins.

Now it seems very likely that it was someone from that mysterious poster's group.

Otherwise, even a second-rank expert wouldn't be able to give away so many third-rank manuals in one go!

Xiao Bieli didn't stand on ceremony and put away all three martial arts techniques.

Feng Si Niang laughed:

"You were running around everywhere for a Guiyuan Manual before, now that you've got it, aren't you going to take a look at it?"

"Any one of these three books surpasses the Guiyuan Secret Manual."

Xiao Bieli said calmly:

"It's already in my hands, it's not going to grow legs and run away, what's the rush?"

Feng Si Niang shook her head:

"Besides giving you the secret manual, there's another reason I've come to see you this time."

Xiao Bieli: "What is it?"

Feng Si Niang: "This time, two contact points in Yanzhou were also wiped out by the Sixth Prince's men, and four silver-rank assassins were killed. The two leaders of Lianyun Village were the ones who did it. The other two gold-rank assassins in Yanzhou have other missions and cannot return for the time being. I have not yet reached the fourth-rank Grandmaster realm, so I can only ask you to help."

"Keeping Lianyun Village around always feels a bit unsettling!"

"Besides these three secret manuals, once you bring back their heads, the building can satisfy any need you have for money or anything else."
