Starting from Tianlong, Wudu Tianxia

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

As the wind swept away the fallen leaves, Chief Shen's fierce demeanor vanished, replaced by terror that left him utterly terrified and revealing his cowardly and ugly side.

"What misunderstanding?" Gao Yuan asked.

"I...I was forced into this by threats from Penglai and had absolutely no intention of becoming your enemy, young hero!"

Gao Yuan remained calm, extended two fingers, and gently touched the Waiguan acupoint on his forearm. His internal energy surged through his fingers, fiercely permeating his body.

"Ah!~"

With both arms crippled, Shen Xuanmo let out a cry of pain.

Seeing the unexpected pain in Shen Bangzhu's eyes, Gao Yuan stroked his chin, looking rather "embarrassed".

He didn't intend to torment Shen Xuanmo; he was just worried about a potential retaliation and wanted to be on the safe side.

only......

Who told him he didn't know how to use acupressure? He only knew how to violently strike acupressure points randomly, and he couldn't control his energy well, which immediately triggered a surge of blood energy in Chief Shen.

Gao Yuan's gaze swept over the room: "Shut up. Answer every question you have, or I'll kill you right now."

"Yes, yes, yes! Young hero, please speak!" When Chief Shen saw Gao Yuan squat down, he felt a glimmer of hope.

The other side wants information; maybe that's how they can survive.

"Are the people from Penglai in Jingzhao Prefecture? How many of them came, and who was leading them?"

Gao Yuan suddenly asked a question, staring at Shen Xuanmo's face.

"Yes, yes, yes... Penglai came to Jingzhao this time with a team led by Senior Dulingzi, but he didn't know you were here, so they split into two groups."

Swallowing hard, Chief Shen continued:

"Du Lingzi went to Fengxiang Prefecture. The person who contacted me was Hong Zhaoren, the leader of the Kuangfeng Sect. The three of them were in the Jingzhao area, staying in a mansion that the Tianyi Gang had purchased on Jiuyao Street to entertain guests."

Gao Yuan frowned slightly upon hearing this, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Really only the three of them?"

"Yes."

Shen Xuanmo responded, fearing that Gao Yuan would kill him with one palm strike, and immediately blurted out the information.

"According to Hong Zhaoren, Du Lingzi seems to have failed to find the young hero in Fengxiang Prefecture, and will probably come to Jingzhao to meet with Hong Zhaoren soon."

Gao Yuan's worries subsided slightly. As long as Du Lingzi was not in the capital, his chances of escaping were almost limitless.

He had his own assessment in mind.

Don't be fooled by the fact that you managed to steal a lot of internal energy by using the Northern Darkness Divine Art. After "removing impurities" from your internal energy, even with Lu Shou's cultivation, you'll only have a maximum of thirty years' worth of cultivation.

Even though others might see it as something extraordinary and defying the heavens!

However, compared to the old immortals of the Turin generation, there is still a gap between them. Their internal energy is vastly different, and their skills and experience are far inferior.

It would be best if Turinzi wasn't in the capital!

Moreover, his Northern Darkness Divine Skill has been unable to break through to the next diagram for a long time, and his meridians and dantian can only hold a limited amount of internal energy, so he has obviously reached a bottleneck.

If we don't continue to open up the meridians and expand the amount of Qi stored in the acupoints, the Northern Sea of ​​Darkness won't be big enough. If we continue to absorb more Qi, there will definitely be a risk of disorder!

after all.

He didn't have the luck of Xu Zhu and Duan Yu; he didn't have the words "My father is Jin Yong" etched on his forehead.

One had the direct initiation from Wuyazi, forcibly opening all the major acupoints and meridians in his body; the other had the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to assist in cultivation, helping him to manage and alleviate the absorption burden.

Fortunately, having just killed Nine Wings at the Ma residence, his mind was clear, and the shackles on his meridians seemed to loosen. Once this matter is resolved, he will break through again.

After a few seconds of silence, Gao Yuan's nostrils flared, and he spoke again: "How strong are Hong Zhaoren and the others?"

Shen Xuanmo immediately guessed Gao Yuan's plan upon hearing this.

Reply immediately:

"Young hero, do not worry. Hong Zhaoren's martial arts are on par with mine. The other two are disciples of Penglai who are at his beck and call. They are no match for you."

"Of course, young hero, you are alone. It will be quite difficult for them to escape. If you spare my life, I will immediately give the order to help you capture them!"

Gao Yuan glanced at him sideways, thinking to himself that the leader of the gang, who was so old he was about to die, was still a first-rate flatterer.

He lowered his eyelids, secretly calculating, when he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from a house in the courtyard.

With his keen senses, he seemed to hear a faint sobbing sound, but fortunately his internal energy was strong and pure, otherwise he would never have heard it.

"Who's inside?"

"Inside...inside...is the side room where my concubine lives. Women are timid and probably too frightened to utter a sound."

"According to the rules of the martial world, one's family is not implicated in a crime. Young hero, please do not disturb my family!"

"A concubine?"

Gao Yuan snorted coldly, and before Chief Shen could respond, he leaped forward and stepped onto the tightly locked rosewood door.

"Bang!~"

All that could be heard was a loud cracking sound!

The entire door, frame and all, flew straight inwards and slammed into the wall with a bang.

Gao Yuan squinted and looked carefully inside.

All I saw was...

In the pitch-black room, five or six women were tied up haphazardly on the bed, their mouths stuffed with rags.

Those muffled sobs were made by them with all their might.

At this moment, they were terrified and dared not move, their eyes filled with tears, yet brimming with hope.

Gao Yuan ripped the rag from a woman's mouth and asked, "Who are you, and why are you tied up here?"

The woman had large, round eyes, and her small mouth was wide open, bleeding profusely. It was unclear what she had suffered, but her voice was broken and choked with sobs.

"Save...save...us! We are innocent women who have been kidnapped by them!"

Looking at the haggard faces, one could vaguely discern their ages from their filthy expressions; the youngest was probably only two or three years older than Chang Ying.

Damn it!

Gao Yuan was immediately enraged and quickly untied the ropes binding them.

Back in front of Shen Xuanmo, he kicked him over and stomped on his chest, pressing down on the gang leader until he screamed in agony!

"Didn't you say she was your concubine? What's going on? If you utter another lie, I'll send you to your grave!"

"Spare me! Spare me! They were women kidnapped by my men to please me. Young hero, have mercy! I only saw them yesterday, and I truly didn't touch a single hair on their heads! Please..."

Gao Yuan increased his kicking force by three points, and Chief Shen coughed up blood and splattered it out.

He thought that Tianyi was only helping Penglai to kill him, and that in the martial arts world, it was common for people to kill each other in revenge.

Unexpectedly, the prestigious Tianyi Gang was engaged in such lewd and depraved acts.

What a righteous gang! They deceive the world and steal fame. Who knows how many other unspeakable evils they have!

Several women reacted and huddled in the doorway, their eyes fixed on Shen Xuanmo on the ground.

Gao Yuan suppressed his emotions and said to them, "Follow me."

Then, grabbing Chief Shen by the hair, he dragged him towards the central courtyard gate like a dead dog.

"what!"

Shen Xuanmo was dragged along, his scalp felt like it was being ripped off, he was in excruciating pain but couldn't break free, and finally understood what despair meant.

Several women followed closely behind.

Gao Yuan and his group were unable to hide, and along the way they encountered countless Tianyi Gang disciples who had received the news and were coming to ambush them.

"Boss, it's the boss! Someone, someone, you bastard, go call for help!"

Someone launched a sneak attack, but Gao Yuan easily killed him with a palm strike. Someone else dragged a large knife to rescue the gang leader, but Gao Yuan used Shen Xuanmo as a human shield and slashed him in the leg with a knife.

The deafening shouts of battle filled the air, and blood rained down!

"Make them back off!"

"Get out of the way! Get out of my way, anyone who dares to block my path, I'll skin them alive!"

Upon hearing the gang leader's command, none of the men carrying knives dared to step forward. They could only slowly make way, yet followed closely behind.

The girls who had regained their freedom covered their mouths, pulling their attention away from the bloodstains on the ground.

I gazed at the young figure striding out the door.

Gao Yuan's clothes were stained with blood, but his expression was unusually cheerful. As the saying goes, once the thought of killing arises, one suddenly feels the vastness of the world!

Before long, the group arrived at the black gate of the Tianyi Gang's headquarters.

He pointed to the distant cobblestone road and said to the women, "Leave!"

"Anyone who dares to chase or stop them, I'll kill them on the spot."

After saying that, he exerted force with his foot and suddenly broke Shen Moxuan's thigh.

"what!"

Under the cover of night, Chief Shen's screams were like the howls of a vengeful ghost. The disciples of the Tianyi Gang crowded in front of the gate, not daring to move an inch.

"My benefactor!"

As they stepped outside the gate, a gentle evening breeze swept in, and several girls knelt and kowtowed before Gao Yuan.

"Don't delay, go!"

Several women, with tears in their eyes, turned and left, disappearing into the deep night.

The little girl, who was only two or three years older than Chang Ying, suddenly turned her head and stared intently at Gao Yuan's face just before turning the corner, her heart filled with indescribable emotions.

Gao Yuan waited at the door for about a quarter of an hour until they were completely out of sight. Then he turned around and glanced sideways at the dying Chief Shen on the ground.

He let out a sigh of relief, and a chilling smile instantly spread across his face.

"Alright, Chief Shen, no one's bothering us anymore."

Gao Yuan spoke gently, as if chatting with a friend: "Whether you deserve to die or not is all a matter of fate, but you... deserve to die!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuanmo thought to himself, "This is bad," and, clutching his anger, his face twisted in a grimace.

"No! No... If you dare kill me, the Tianyi Gang will not let you go, nor will the Penglai Sect. Let me go, and I'm willing to mediate between you two..."

He spoke harsh words and gentle words at the same time, and his voice trembled at the end of his sentence.

Gao Yuan seemed not to hear, and after listening, he laughed loudly, then kicked out with a whooshing sound, aiming straight for Gao Yuan's chest.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Chief Shen was kicked away by the force and crashed into a tall tree more than two zhang away.

The withered branches rustled from the tremor, and a few withered leaves fell onto the blood-stained clothes.

His eyes were wide open, his temples were stained with blood and stuck to his cheeks, and his lips moved as if he wanted to murmur, but only blood foam came out.

Less than two breaths later...

His protective inner energy dissipated, his neck tilted to the side, and he instantly lost his breath!

......!
