Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 156 Asking for help
After such cooperation and mutual help, Tiedan also recovered his strength. He took the letter written by Xiao Baoqin, the jade bracelet, and a bunch of black hair as a token of trust, asked the old kidnapper for directions, and quickly went to the Xiao family in Lanling to ask for the Lingyun Xianzhi.

Originally, it was something that could be accomplished by simply picking a snow lotus, but who would have thought that it would take so many complications and go in such a big circle, with so many messy things happening, not only was the life-extending elixir nowhere to be found, but even the whereabouts of Zhen Baiyu was lost.

Tiedan was also very helpless. If he had known earlier, he would have just pretended not to see the boatmen and turned around and left.

But having said that, now that he has been involved in all this, it is not his nature to give up halfway.

What's more, Xiao Baoqin treated him very well indeed, and entertained him with delicious food and drinks along the way. The Yangquan Immortal Wine and Chaoyi Sword were the most precious treasures of the immortal family. The deposit was enough to hire Tiedan to find ways to save her life.

What's more, there is Shi Cheng, I'm afraid she is also...

Forget it. Tiedan doesn’t owe her anything anyway. At most, he can escort her to Lanling, which will be the final settlement of the past affairs.

To get back to the point, probably when Xiao Baoqin was practicing with Yuanzi from Qingtang Sect, she flew in a flying boat, crossed the Gen River directly, and entered the territory of Zhenzhou. She didn't even know the rule that people in the Immortal Palace had to bypass the territory of Xuanmen. That's how she fell into the trap of the old man who planted trees and fell into their encirclement.

Alas, it’s all their own fault to have such a bunch of stupid teammates.

At this time, Tiedan used the Ice River Escape Technique and flew south along the coastline. Looking down, he could see the boundless ocean on one side and the vast fertile fields on the other side. Continuous rivers flowed into the East China Sea, there were countless white sails on the sea, and cars and boats like ants on the ground. The weather was sunny and the sky was high and the sea was vast. Even the painting style seemed bright.

The State of Zhen is located in the East China Sea. It has a vast territory, rich resources, a dense population, a prosperous country and a strong people. After years of development, it has become a standard heart of the Central Plains and an important place supporting the finances and taxation of the Three Yuans.

Therefore, the Immortal Palace would never let go of such a money bag easily. Not only Xuanmen, but also the branch of the Divine Religion here often causes trouble. The struggle among the three major sects can be said to be unusually fierce.

As Tiedan flew along, he could sense the violent killings of cultivators and fighters from time to time. Each town also had many forces such as cultivation families, local sects, the imperial court and vassal states, which were in a dynamic balance.

It can be said that Zhen's comprehensive national strength is among the best among the twelve countries in the world, and can even compete with the Three Yuans.

Which of the three major sects can truly dominate Zhen State and suppress the East Sea will surely become one of the best in the world. However, the Immortal Palace is weak and fighting internally, the Divine Religion is far away, and the Xuanmen is short of manpower, so no one has been able to truly swallow this big piece of fat meat.

Therefore, the checks and balances among the three major forces gave the local aristocratic families, represented by the Xiao family, the opportunity to sit on the fence and wait and see. Sometimes they leaned towards the Immortal Palace, sometimes they colluded with the Xuanmen, and they had overt and covert relationships with all parties, which maintained the peace of the Zhenguo Kingdom.

Tiedan only had seven days, so he naturally didn't want to cause any more trouble, and avoided getting involved in irrelevant conflicts along the way. However, his physique was destined to be insecure. He finally saw a mountain with brilliant spiritual light on the ground, calculated the direction of the spiritual vein exit, sat down to regulate his breath, and before he had taken a few breaths of Qi, another incident was triggered...

"Catch them!" "Don't let the thieves get away!" "The master has ordered that they be captured alive!"

Tiedan was meditating on the jade mine on the top of the mountain. He didn't want to move, but the noise from the bottom of the mountain was getting closer and closer. At a glance, there were about 150 people, farmhands, hunters, thugs, and constables, who were surrounding the mountain to search. The prey they were chasing was forced into a corner and could only run up the cliff, heading straight for Tiedan.

It was okay for the incident to hit him in the face, and Tiedan was too lazy to avoid it, so he just sat on the Qi meridian without moving. After a while, the two people ran to him.

This is a man and a woman. The man is a scholar and seems to know a little bit of Qigong, but his breathing is not right and his pulse is unstable. He probably figured it out on his own.

The woman was also young and beautiful, with a face like a peach. Although she could not compare with those proper fairies and princesses, she was also a rare beauty with delicate skin and tender flesh. She did not look like a country girl working in the fields. She was probably a runaway from a wealthy family.

The two men fled all the way and came under the rock where Tiedan was sitting, and the man sat down on the ground.

The woman was anxious, "Mr. Hou, what's wrong with you? Why don't you leave?"

The man said, "There is no way out. I will return my breath and fight them."

The woman's way,
"Forget it, at worst we can jump off the cliff together. I'd rather die than go back."

The man said,
"Okay! We'll be husband and wife in the next life."

Tiedan looked left and right and found that the two of them were busy swearing to each other their love, and their love was stronger than gold. No one raised their heads and they simply kept silent for a while.

Soon the pursuers arrived, dozens of them brandishing swords and clubs, carrying fishing nets and ropes to capture people. A butler-like man who led the way said viciously,
"Xiang Shan! You are a traitorous slave! The Ruan family spent 200 strings of cash to buy your life from Zui Xiang Lou, yet you eloped with a wild man! Have you forgotten the kindness of the master?"

The woman was filled with grief and indignation, and said angrily,

"You beat my father to death, angered my mother to death, took my family's land, sold me to a brothel, and you won't let me go!
If you still want to humiliate me when I grow up, even if I become a ghost, I will curse your Ruan family to have no descendants!"

The man didn't say a word, just stood there breathing in and out Qi, with green smoke rising from his face and his spiritual Qi gathering together.

The butler didn't care about the scented fan, he just looked at the young master and sneered.

"Hou Chaozong, you are such a nosy fool. You don't study hard but go to brothels instead. You even offended Master Ruan for this bitch!

What? With your two cheap Qi-gathering skills, you dare to steal someone like in an opera? You are a rebel!
Come on! Break his hands and feet and take him back for questioning. If he honestly gives me the formula, I’ll give you a quick death!"

"Yes!"

"Evil villains! I will fight you!"

The scholar Hou roared angrily and jumped out to fight with the group of evil slaves.

Unlike the northern countries where the people were either from aristocratic families or serfs, the people of Zhen were wealthy and common people could save money to support their children in education and martial arts.

Although Hou Chaozong was a scholar, he also had to practice martial arts and archery. What's more, he was able to read and write and cultivate his Qi, so his comprehension was not bad. He wielded a sword, accumulated a breath of true Qi, and performed a set of martial arts moves. Ordinary three or five big men could not get close to him.

If three or five aren't enough, then try thirty or fifty...

Before a Qi cultivator builds his foundation, his physical fitness will not be much different from that of an ordinary person. Only after forming a pill can he achieve a substantial improvement. Moreover, Hou Chaozong is also a wild man. Even an ordinary person cannot defeat four people with two fists, but he can defeat ten people by cultivating a breath of Qi, which is already amazing.

Now the servants of the Ruan family rushed forward, using fishing nets to lasso flying stones and spears to sneak attack. As expected, the Hou family didn't last more than ten rounds. Before they could recover from the attack, they tripped over the hook and were caught in the fishing net. Everyone rushed forward and beat him up. His face was swollen and his nose was swollen and he was dying.

Seeing this, Xiang Shan also smiled sadly, pulled out her hairpin and pressed it against her throat, then retreated to the edge of the cliff. "Mr. Hou, see you in the next life..."

"Incense... Incense fan..."

However, the butler sneered and took out a sharp bone-cutting knife.

"You are such an ignorant slave. Do you really think that death will solve all your problems? Do you know what this is? It is a skinning knife given by the Saint.

Even if you jump down and are smashed to pieces, I can still peel off your skin, pick your bones, squeeze your fat, and lock up your soul according to the indenture!
I'll make you into a soul-calming lamp, and seal you in the wick for eternity. You'll never have an afterlife! You'll be a ghost slave of the Ruan family for eternity! You'll never see your son-in-law again!"

Xiangshan's face turned pale.

"You, you are so vicious, do you have any sense of justice? Aren't you afraid of retribution..."

The butler laughed like a jackal.
"Retribution? Justice of Heaven? There is order in the hierarchy between superiors and subordinates, that is the justice of this world!

You lowly slaves should be slaves for generations!
"The peasant wants to turn over! Can you do it? Hahaha!"

Now Xiangshan was scared.

Yes, she is not afraid of death, but if she cannot die, and has to be a slave for generations, being humiliated, and suffering and misery with no end, then who can endure it?

The housekeeper became more and more proud.

"Dance, jump! Why, you don't dare? Then we won't be polite. The master said that we must vent our anger on this bitch! Everyone, come together!"

“Hahaha!” “Thank you for the reward, sir!”

The thugs surrounded them with laughter.

"Incense fan...incense fan..."

Hou Chaozong was suppressed and screamed.

Xiangshan's eyes were dull and he almost lost his life.

Tiedan saw that the plot was almost over, so he cleared his throat with a "cough cough".

Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look at the young man sitting on the cliff.

Tiedan bowed and introduced himself.

"I am from Xuanmen."

Everyone, "?"

Then he took out a handful of Shengang money and scattered it casually.

There was a flash of golden light, and forty or fifty heads rolled down. Hot blood was like the wind, blowing into a mess.

Hou Chaozong and Xiang Shan stood there in a daze.

Tiedan threw the talisman and stuck it on the butler's forehead.

"Where is the Saint?"

Butler: "I don't know."

I don't know what you are talking about.

Tiedan frowned.

"Where did you get that knife?"

Butler: "The old master gave it to me."

Tiedan's brows relaxed.
"Where is the old man?"

Butler: "In the pickle jar in the cellar."

Damn, the old man even pickled it in the vegetable jar. You, the Ruan family, are really cruel.

After asking these three questions, the butler rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and died like a dog.

Well, just die.

Tiedan is considered to be a righteous person with relatively high moral integrity these days.

No matter whether you are male or female, young or old, right or wrong, good or evil, I will kill you without regard for your soul.
