Starting from Tianlong, Wudu Tianxia

Chapter 89 Miscellaneous Affairs in Rongzhou

With a roar, Qiu Zhong threw his flying knife from his sleeve and shot it swiftly towards Gao Yuan.

Upon hearing his words, the bandits simultaneously hurled ten more throwing knives at the boy.

At this moment, Gao Yuan's face, throat, chest, and abdomen were all under the shadow of the flying knives.

Gao Yuan wielded his palms, employing the Tianshan Plum Blossom Seizing Weapon Technique, grabbing and throwing weapons in quick succession, the clanging sounds echoing in the air, and in an instant, he had thrown more than ten weapons at his feet.

He seized thirteen weapons, and when he looked up, he saw Qiu Zhong had already leaped into the air and was heading towards the wooden window.

Clearly, they intended to break the window and escape.

Gao Yuan raised one palm, his five fingers joined together, and the Northern Darkness True Qi poured out from his palm.

As Qiu Zhong leaped into the air, he felt a suction force coming from his vest, pulling his body.

His internal energy stagnated, and he suddenly fell from mid-air.

If it weren't for his excellent lightness skill, he would have been thrown around in a daze with just that one move.

Gao Yuan flashed out from the crowd, and anyone who came to block him was killed with a single sword strike, without any further moves.

Just as Qiu Zhong was about to get up, his Tianzhu acupoint suddenly felt hot, and his internal energy surged out of his body like a galloping horse.

He let out a suppressed cry of pain, his body went limp and collapsed to the ground, all his internal energy dissipated.

Qiu Zhong tried to speak, but another tremendous force came from his Tianzhu acupoint, the energy surged into his skull, and he immediately bled from all seven orifices and died.

At this moment, several bandits rushed up.

Gao Yuan moved and used his internal energy to launch himself into the air.

The sword strikes were too fast. The charging bandits only felt a cold wind on their necks. Before they closed their eyes, they still didn't know that their heads and necks had already been separated.

The remaining bandits in the hall looked around and were all horrified.

They're all dead!

The three leaders and the master of Dayunming Temple are all dead. The Qingshan bandits who had intimidated Rongzhou were mostly slaughtered by one person!

In their eyes, the leaders and Master Shuiyun were already invincible.

What about the boy who killed them?

As Gao Yuan moved forward, his cold gaze sweeping over them, dozens of people immediately dropped their weapons and knelt down to kowtow.

The boy kept moving, his figure swaying, and more than a dozen heads rolled to the ground.

Upon witnessing this scene, Wang Wei and his entourage were also greatly shocked.

The three leaders of the Green Mountain bandits and the people from Dayunming Temple were quite skilled; they could almost all kill someone with a single move.

Your Excellency is so young, yet your martial arts skills are unheard of.

His fear of the Spirit Palace intensified.

After dealing with the bandits, Gao Yuan walked a few steps to the woman.

The woman was awakened by the fighting and killing in the hall, but her eyes remained empty, as if her soul had been ripped away.

Her once delicate face was now stained with the blood of bandits.

Gao Yuan took off his robe and gently covered her with it.

The moment the robe touched her body.

The woman's empty eyes suddenly focused, staring intently at the short knife the bandit had dropped on the ground.

"Father! Mother!"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly picked up the dagger from the ground and, like a madwoman, pounced on the corpse, hacking at it again and again.

"Why!"

Gao Yuan sighed, then asked Wang Weizhi again, "How is the Dongying Gang's assembly going?"

Wang Weizhi respectfully replied, "Your Excellency, I have left secret marks along the way, so it shouldn't be too long."

Wang Weizhi has already borrowed men from the Rongzhou Salt Gang, and with the addition of over a hundred members from the Dongying Gang, the total number is estimated to be two to three hundred.

Although there are many bandits in Qingshan, they are leaderless at this time, and it is only a matter of time before they are taken down.

"Didn't we alert the other bandits in the stronghold?"

Wang Wei said, "The guards in front of the stockade have been dealt with by Brother Cheng, and no other troops have been alerted yet."

He Huan stood frozen in the corner, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

Who did I bring back?

"Great hero, great hero, spare my life! My sister was also kidnapped by them. I was forced to come here. If you can spare my sister and me, I will be willing to open the gate!"

Gao Yuan, unsure whether he was lying, pointed at He Huan and said to Wang Weizhi, "Chief Wang, the rest is up to you. Have him draw the gates open, and the Dongying Gang will storm in through the main gate."

"After dealing with the bandits of Qingshan, if what he said is true, let his brother and sister go down the mountain together. As for the other imprisoned women, give them all travel expenses and arrange for them to go home."

His gaze swept around, and among Cheng Shan, almost no one dared to meet his eyes.

"Keep those who come up in check. If anyone takes the opportunity to rape or abuse those poor women, don't blame me for being merciless with my sword!"

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys!" Wang Weizhi nodded immediately.

Although the martial artist was courageous, the young man in front of him already carried an invisible aura of power, and at this moment, the hall was filled with his murderous intent.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingqing showed no resentment at her father being scolded; instead, her eyes gleamed with admiration.

Around 9 PM.

A leader of the Dongying Gang took out a short black tube from his pocket and went up to the top of the stockade.

Place the small black tube on your middle finger and flick it upwards.

A point of red light shot straight up into the sky, accompanied by a sharp, piercing whistle.

Followed by.

The sounds of battle cries shook the gates of the stockade, and the footsteps grew increasingly frequent.

With He Huan's cooperation, the gate of Qingshan Village was not held for a moment, and hundreds of members of the Dongying Gang and the Salt Gang rushed in under cover of darkness.

The village of Qingshan was instantly engulfed in flames.

As the hour of Chou (1-3 AM) approached, the air still carried the pungent scent of blood.

But the sounds of fighting outside the lobby had stopped.

Wang Weizhi came specifically to report to Gao Yuan on the situation regarding the suppression of bandits.

The bandit leader of Qingshan was killed, and without anyone to command them, they continued to hunt down the bandits.

The casualties of the two sides in this blitzkrieg against Qingshan Village were only about thirty people, which was almost negligible.

In contrast, in Qingshan Village, apart from a small group of bandits who escaped over the village and scattered into the wilderness, half of the bandits were killed.

As for the rest who were bound, they were naturally escorted down the mountain.

The bandits of Qingshan had been terrorizing the village for a long time, and the two families would naturally not miss this opportunity to eliminate the evil and restore order, and to increase their reputation.

After dealing with the bandits of Qingshan, Gao Yuan stayed in Rongzhou for another five days.

Rongzhou is not a large territory, and the only organization above the Dongying Gang is the Qingluo Sect.

During this period, Gao Yuan met with Liu Tianming, the leader of the Qingluo Sect, under the pretext of "martial arts competition".

Liu Tianming had held the top position in Rongzhou for ten years, but as he got older, he became more and more afraid of death.

He didn't want to offend even the bandits of Qingshan, let alone take down the living Yama in ten moves.

With the Qingluo Gate no longer blocking their way, the Dongying Gang, leveraging its reputation for bandit suppression, officially became the number one gang in Rongzhou.

"Duanmu Yuan, Qin Yufeng, you nine have acted without your master's command, instigating conflict privately. Do you know your crime?"

Gao Yuan spoke calmly in the Dongying Gang's private residence.

The nine men kneeling side by side below the hall were too terrified to speak. Duanmu Yuan's head was bruised from kowtowing, and his words trembled uncontrollably: "Please forgive us, Your Excellency, for the audacity of Penglai in insulting Your Excellency. We could no longer tolerate it, and thus we acted without permission..."

'

Seeing that Duanmu Yuan was so frightened that he could not speak clearly, Qin Yufeng added from the side: "Your Excellency, the nine of us could not gather enough offerings for the Lord, and we were afraid of being punished by the Lord, so we thought of atoning for our sins by killing Penglai Guiyunzi, hoping that Your Excellency would ask the Lord to be merciful and exempt us from punishment."

"Nine against one, and it was a sneak attack. No matter how skilled Guiyunzi is, he will have no chance of survival. But I didn't expect that old man Du was also in Quanzhou."

"Guiyunzi was ambushed and severely injured, yet he still managed to hold out until Old Man Du arrived with his men to rescue him. It is because my subordinates are incompetent."

The group felt a jolt of fear; they hadn't expected Qin Yufeng to be so direct, without even a hint of pretense.

Duanmu Yuan cursed under his breath.

Gao Yuan stepped forward a few steps, and in an instant, he flicked his finger, striking Duanmu Yuan's chest. Duanmu Yuan's body stiffened immediately.

Duanmu Yuan screamed in agony as all his internal energy was lost.

Overwhelmed by exhaustion, he suddenly fainted.

Upon seeing Duanmu Yuan's miserable state, the young woman from Coconut Flower Island was terrified: "Please, Your Excellency, have mercy!"

Gao Yuan's eyes turned cold: "Acting without informing the Venerable One is his first crime. Since he did act, and failed to capture Guiyunzi, that is his second crime. Duanmu Yuan's plan failed, yet he still used the excuse of protecting the Venerable One. He is hypocritical. He deserves to be punished for all three crimes and dismissed."

He turned his gaze to Qin Yufeng: "Master Qin, although you acted on your own initiative, you did not lie or deceive. This offense will be recorded for now. If you commit it again, the Venerable One will deal with it."

Gao Yuan didn't need to say anything harsh; just bringing up his grandmother was the most terrifying threat to them.

"Your subordinate thanks Your Excellency for your mercy!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency!"

Qin Yufeng glanced at Duanmu Yuan's miserable state, secretly wiped away a cold sweat, and in his heart exclaimed that Brother Sikong was benevolent and righteous, and had warned the envoy about his temperament beforehand.

Upon hearing this, the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Duanmu Yuan was crippled, at least his life was saved.
