This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 179 A Couple Struck by Thunder

Guanshan Road, Puzhou, Yuliu County.

There was a light drizzle, and the sky looked like a hazy mist. The willow trees were swaying gracefully in the drizzle, and the bluestone slabs on both sides of the street were glowing with a faint luster in the rain.

There were few pedestrians on the street, but the teahouse was bustling with people.

Something big seemed to have happened today. A large group of idle people gathered together in twos and threes, chatting excitedly about gossip.

Outside the teahouse, a man in black clothes and a bamboo hat walked in, with a long sword in a black scabbard hanging from his waist. He sat in the corner of the teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, and listened to the six departments in the village exchanging information.

The man in black was Xiang Yuan. His Tiger Roaring Sword was broken, and the black long sword on his waist came from the warehouse of Jueqi Palace.

It has been half a month since I left Fengxian County, Dezhou. The trip of more than ten days was very smooth. I won wherever I went and there was no difficulty at all.

So smooth as to be boring.

This is not good. Xiang Yuan went out to sharpen his knife, not to show off his knife skills, but the travel map that Wang Wenxu helped to draw up...

No wonder sir, he had no idea that Xiang Yuan had such great opportunities that an ordinary foundation-building period could not satisfy him at all.

As Xiang Yuan traveled along the way, he found that all the martial arts masters he met had low skills and were too weak to even hit anyone. This made him craving for martial arts and he wanted to make a big move.

During those most unbearable times, I sneaked into the world of no life and picked a few innate ones to relieve the itch.

The innate stage of the Wusheng Realm has no protective qi, and the laws of heaven and earth are flawed, which cannot satisfy Xiang Yuan, who has made great progress in strength. He is scratching an itch through nothing, unable to go up or down, which is even more uncomfortable.

If you want to relieve the itch, you have to start in Qianyuan Realm.

Xiang Yuan abandoned his travel map and came to the teahouse to inquire about information and see where he could find a suitable opponent. The six places at the head of the village lived up to everyone's expectations and really brought him an important piece of information.

"Have you heard that the shopkeeper's wife of Wang's eldest son went up the mountain to fulfill a vow and has been missing for several days."

"Which Wang?"

"It could be any other Wang family, the richest family in Yuliu County."

"Oh, how many years has his eldest son been dead, three years or five years? Is the Wang family's shopkeeper really missing? Is there a possibility that the abbot is teaching her Buddhism?"

Xiang Yuan listened for a while, especially the consecration part, and sorted out a story line.

The Wang family of Yuliu County is a well-known wealthy businessman. Their family's main business is growing and making medicine. They own countless fertile fields and are a wholesaler of medicinal materials in the spiritual world.

His ancestors were rich in the early years, and they are not bad now. There are several innate masters in the family, and they are also a well-known force in Yuliu County. After King Zhao entered the eight states, Wang family made connections and got close to King Zhao's mansion during the critical period of power reshuffle, got the title of imperial merchant, and made a lot of money.

Just as the family business was thriving and the future was bright, his daughter-in-law passed away.

Not just any daughter-in-law, this widow of the eldest son is quite resourceful and a shrewd person in the business world. She has used her ability to squeeze out a group of older men and become the head of the Wang family. The Wang family can be as prosperous as it is today thanks to her advice and strategies. She even opened up the relationship with the Zhao Palace.

Now that he suddenly disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown, Wang was like an ant on hot pan, running around in panic.

According to gossip, the shopkeeper's wife was a famous beauty when she was young. Now in her forties, she has maintained herself well and her charm is almost the same as when she was young. Suddenly, there was no news from her. It is likely that she was kidnapped by a rapist.

Good guy, he stole the jade and the perfume and went to the neighbor Wang’s house!
Xiang Yuan is a pure love god of war, and he hates lecherous villains the most. When he hears Wang sending out a call for heroes, seeking help from all sides, he decisively decides to join in the fun.

The last time I traveled, I encountered a rapist and met a demon woman of the Disillusionment Dao. I guess this time will not be simple either.

There are several innate masters in the Wang family. Anyone who dares to kidnap their chief shopkeeper must be a competitor, as high-end business wars often use the simplest means, or the rapist is highly skilled and bold, and he knows that there are innate masters in the Wang family.

This is no longer an ordinary rapist, we must strike hard!
Xiang left the teahouse and headed straight for the Wang family compound. He saw a crowd of young heroes in front of the door. He was so scared that he didn't dare to dismount and even took a few steps back.

I don't want to bring along the young heroes of the Jianghu anymore after having suffered losses and been cheated before.

Xiang was standing far away, with no intention of joining in the fun. He was thinking about how to get information when he saw a figure walking out of the crowd.

This man had handsome features, but his face was as stiff as ice, just like Senior Zombie, without a trace of emotion. He walked silently, as if blending into the surrounding air, without causing any wind, and even making people unable to sense his breath.

The people around him also ignored him, as if he didn't exist at all.

He is a master!

Xiang Yuan looked at him out of the corner of his eye, and only after he left did he catch a lazy servant of the Wang family who was watching the fun nearby, and asked with a gloomy look: "Who was that person just now, was he a congenital master of the Wang family?"

Seeing Xiang Yuan's handsome face and a decent young man, the servant was impressed by his charisma and replied, "I have never noticed who the man you are talking about. If you describe him, I will remember him."

Xiang Yuan gave a brief description, and the servant shook his head repeatedly, not recognizing this person.

Not Wang's innate master...

Perhaps it was because of the human skin mask that Wang found the clue and went to investigate in disguise.

Xiang Yuan pondered and there were two possibilities. The first was that the mysterious master was just a passerby who came to watch the fun. The second was that, as is common among criminals, he returned to the scene to see what Wang would do.

Either way, it's a good whetstone.

Xiang Yuan had a feeling that this person's existence was like a sharp sword, with the world as its scabbard and integrated into it, not showing its true colors. But once it was unsheathed, it would reveal its sharpness and be invincible.

Kill him so I can level up!
If he is a rapist, sharpen the knife before killing him. If he is a passerby, pretend to be a rapist and use his knife to sharpen his knife. There is no loss either way.

----

Outside Yuliu County, the sky is hazy and the green mountains are dark blue.

The bamboo forest by the lake is lush and green. There is an extremely elegant wooden house. The wooden house extends out of the lake and has an exquisite water pavilion. There is also a willow-leaf boat moored.

Behind the wooden house, there is a winding mountain path. Rocky peaks can be vaguely seen in the depths of the bamboo forest, as if it is a secret path leading to a paradise.

Master brother stopped his horse and tied it in front of the wooden house. He met two young men. The three of them looked at each other in silence for a long time.

"Myna, what's going on?"

"Wang's commotion is so loud, if this matter gets out... My Lord can stay in the house, I will go and persuade him."

"In the forest, don't let us disturb you."

"Alas!" x3
Life is not easy, sigh naturally.JPG
On the other side of the bamboo forest, Xiang Yuan abandoned his fast horse and sneaked into the dense forest. He was like a ghost, without any breath, and his feet stepped on the wet soil without making any sound.

Just looking at the beautiful scenery here, Xiang Yuan guessed that the master brother was not a rapist. After all, it was broad daylight and he didn't even try to hide. A real rapist would never be so arrogant.

Judge others by yourself and the basement is the right place.

But he was not a rapist after all, so just in case, he decided to search first to prevent Wang's wife from being taken hostage when a fight broke out.

After a moment, Xiang Yuan stopped and looked ahead with his eyes slightly narrowed.

On the path in the bamboo forest, a man and a woman were walking together, holding an umbrella, loving each other and inseparable.

The man was about forty years old, with regular features, handsome appearance, and a tall stature. He stood upright like a pine tree. He had a carefully trimmed beard and wore exquisite clothes, which not only showed his mature and steady charm, but also added a bit of majesty and demeanor. With the awe-inspiring righteousness between his eyebrows, he was a typical man in his forties.

If he hadn't been so attentive and caring, like a dog, he would have been even more majestic. The woman in his arms was about 30 years old, with a mature temperament and a younger appearance.

The widow of the eldest son of the Wang family.

This resourceful female manager of the Wang family is indeed as charming as the rumors say, just like a plump peach. When she looks around, her eyes are sparkling and her charm is far beyond the reach of a young girl.

Being held in the man's arms and hearing some sweet words, the female shopkeeper was so completely captivated that she had forgotten her dead husband's last name.

Her heart was only tied to her lover. Thinking of the love they had shared these days, she said worriedly, "My dear brother, you came out to see me secretly. If your wife knew about this, she wouldn't blame you, would she?"

"If I can find the Golden Lotus, I will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, even if the gods and gods block my way."

The lover was affectionate and affectionate. When their eyes met, the female shopkeeper's eyes were shrunken. She said angrily: "You only know how to use these sweet words to deceive me. If I hadn't believed your lies in the capital that year, I would not have waited for you for more than ten years. Now... I have become a widow."

At the end, the female shopkeeper looked gloomy and said, "Go away. You haven't come to see me for more than ten years. What's the point of coming now? If this matter gets out, you will be spit on by others and your good reputation will be gone."

"It's gone, it's gone. Jinlian has treated me with deep affection and loyalty, how can I abandon you!"

"Humph, you are willing to do that."

"What's there to be reluctant about? A little fame is not worth mentioning compared to you..."

The adulterous couple snuggled together, with oil-paper umbrellas held above their heads. The oil-paper umbrellas held above their heads seemed to have created a little world of their own for them. They were a match made in heaven.

Xiangyuan: (Dan)
The cold icy rain hit his face randomly. He cursed in his heart, what a crap thing, wasting half a day. Where is Wu Erlang? Why doesn't he come out quickly and kill this couple.

Xiang Yuan could see that the eldest widow of Wang's family was not kidnapped by a rapist at all. During the days she was missing, she was secretly meeting her lover and having an affair with him. She was very happy.

And the lover she has been thinking about has a wife at home but is still hooking up with widows outside. He is a complete scumbag.

From what he said, it seems that before the female shopkeeper named Jinlian became a widow, this Mr. Ximen had already helped her ex-husband to keep things going.

I revisited the old place these days, and everything and everyone have changed. It was like I just arrived. I was so happy that I couldn't tell you!

Pooh!
Xiang Yuan was filled with contempt and lost interest in sharpening his knife.

If he guessed correctly, the master brother who followed him all the way was a guard, a guard at the innate level... What is the background of Mr. Ximen? He seems to be a positive person and has some reputation outside.

People with different ideas cannot work together. Xiang Yuan thought about it for a moment and didn't think any more. He disappeared like a ghost.

Whoosh!
A sudden sound of an arrow interrupted Xiang Yuan's steps. He frowned and turned his head, looking curiously at Wu Erlang who was late.

There was no Wu Jilang, only two men in black.

The two men were wearing the same attire, well-tailored black suits, and wearing conical hats with low brims that covered most of their faces, leaving only their icy eyes exposed.

They were at the Xiantian stage, proficient in the method of concealing their breath, had excellent martial arts skills, and were as fast as lightning. Seeing that their arrows failed to hit them by sneak attack, they drew out their soft swords as thin as cicada wings and killed the adulterer.

"who?"

Ximen Daguanren waved his sleeve to sweep away the poisonous arrows and protected the female shopkeeper behind him. Seeing two black shadows attacking with swords, he took out a long sword and fought while retreating.

The two killers were ruthless in their swordsmanship, each of their swords was aimed directly at the vital points, they were nimble and proficient in combined attacks, their swords were sharp and swift, and they forced the man into danger with just one encounter.

Just then, three guards rushed over and blocked the two killers.

"The golden killer of Xingxiu Palace!"

"You two protect the adults, I will take care of them."

The scene was in chaos.

Xiang Yuan looked at his own black clothes and silently took off his hat. It turned out that all killers dressed like this. He had learned something new.

The expert was very strong, and he still had enough strength to fight two people alone. After a few moves, he revealed the backgrounds of the two killers: "The gold medal killers of Xingxiu Palace, you two belong to Guangming Palace in the Twenty-Eight Constellations. Who sent you here, and who is your employer?"

Xingxiu Palace, the strongest killer organization in Qianyuan Realm and one of the eight evil demons, is said to be headquartered in Northern Qi and has influence all over the world. As long as the money is paid, Xingxiu Palace dares to kill anyone.

The Xingxiu Palace is divided into twenty-eight halls, and the Guangming Palace is one of them, which is led by the Pleiades among the twenty-eight constellations.

Xiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Since he was already here, he stopped decisively and wanted to see the skills of the Xingxiu Palace's gold medal assassin.

The result was not very good. The two killers' skills were focused on assassination. They were no match for the master brother in a head-on fight. After weighing the pros and cons, Xiang Yuan decided that he could also go up.

Those who are willing to sell their heads for a living are nothing but chickens and dogs!

Among the eight evil demons in Qianyuan Realm, Xiang Yuan had seen five of them, namely Huangquan Dao, Huanmie Dao, Jile Dao, Soul Guarding Sect, and Xingxiu Palace. The latter three performed mediocrely and had nothing outstanding, so they were not worthy of being called the eight evil demons.

Huangquan Dao, Huanmie Dao: How evil I am, to be on par with you!

Brother Master has extraordinary martial arts skills, and he intends to capture people alive, only injuring but not killing. In him, Xiang Yuan saw the demeanor of several of the world's top masters in the Wusheng World, who integrated themselves into the world alone, calmly controlling the power of the world and leaving their opponents with no way to escape.

Xiang Yuan made a comparison and felt that he had an 80% chance, probably, that he could not win. Only if he advanced to the innate stage and understood the mysteries of the laws of heaven and earth, would he be qualified to use the other party to sharpen his knife.

He stared in fascination as the situation on the field changed again.

Ximen Daguanren was blocked by two guards. Seeing that his bodyguards were much stronger than the assassins, he thought that there would be no danger. He began to comfort the beauty in his arms and laughed, "Don't panic, Jinlian. Xingxiu Palace is unwise and unintelligent. If I had planned an ambush, there wouldn't be only two assassins. Ten times as many would be enough. Even if we escaped, we would still be seriously injured."

Speak of Cao Cao, here comes Cao Cao. Just as the female shopkeeper was about to praise him for his resourcefulness, more than ten black shadows leaped across the bamboo forest and rushed over from afar.

"..." x5
"withdraw!"

With the appearance of more than ten assassins, the situation on the field reversed. The master brother ignored the intelligence, and spread the power of heaven and earth. He instantly killed the two assassins in front of him, caught Ximen Daguanren and broke through to the east.

"Sir, take the path this way."

"Don't worry about me, save Jinlian first!"

A pursuit and blockade thus began. The master brother used all his means and fought ten people at once, looking very powerful. He intercepted ten innate killers and covered the departure of Mr. Ximen.

Mr. Ximen was a romantic man. He refused to let go of the female shopkeeper even at the critical moment of life and death. He brought a hindrance and was soon trapped by several assassins on the bamboo forest path.

Seeing that the two guards beside him were gradually losing strength and the adulterer was about to die, another dark shadow rushed out from the corner.

She was a woman wearing black clothes, a bamboo hat and a graceful figure.

He was not an assassin from Xingxiu Palace. He drew his sword and rescued Mr. Ximen.

Xiang Yuan was disgusted by this couple and had no intention of taking action. However, when he saw the woman using the Wushuang Palace sword technique, a little remaining fire was as bright as the sun, which attracted the power of heaven and earth and a phantom of the sun appeared. He decisively showed up to help.

It has nothing to do with Xiao Lingyue, and he didn't intend to ask this senior sister to help or say a few good words about him in front of Xiao Lingyue. He was simply a righteous young man who was upright and upright, and he helped others when he saw injustice.

"I'm here to help you!"
