Chapter 160: Conquering Canglan Sword Clan, News about Wang Heng
"Four magical powers?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Han Pei and the other two elders, who were originally preparing to gather all the disciples to form the "Nine-Curved Wave Formation" to meet the enemy, were instantly shocked. They stared at Zheng Jun in a daze, with a hint of disbelief in their eyes.

You must know that magical martial arts are the peerless skills that countless martial artists in the world dream of. Every time a magical martial art appears in the world, it will cause a bloody storm.

In the past thousands of years, only two magical powers have been circulated in the martial arts world of Bozhou.

All of them caused bloody storms.

Not only did the martial artists from Bozhou participate in the fight, but also the martial artists from Yunzhou, Lanzhou, Jinzhou and even further away Jiangzhou and Jiazhou came specially to join in the fight.

From this, everyone also knows how powerful the supernatural power is.

Previously, Jiang Wuya, the leader of Canglan Sword Sect, comprehended the "Mirror Flower and Water Moon" from the sword technique. The elders of the entire sect were excited and believed that Jiang, who possessed magical powers, was good enough to be among the top ten strongest people in Bozhou. Therefore, Canglan Sword Sect expanded so vigorously and even challenged Zheng Jun to force Tongzhou to cede some of its interests.

But they never expected that what they regarded as the absolute killer weapon for the revitalization of their sect was not worth mentioning at all to Zheng Jun.

Zheng Jun even has four similar methods!
This is a bit too unbelievable.

Is this the power of the government?

It's completely different from their underworld forces!
Han Pei felt a little desperate.

When Jiang Wuya saw Zheng Jun's attacking knife, he was a little dazed for a moment. The next second, when Xue Shou's knife was two inches away from Jiang Wuya's head, it suddenly stopped in the air and did not move forward any more.

The next second, the true energy surged.

"puff!"

Jiang Wuya spat out blood and was overwhelmed by the momentum. He finally leaned on the ground with his sword. The blood he coughed out turned into red smoke before it hit the ground.

"Four magical powers, there are actually four magical powers... How is it possible, there are four magical powers..."

Jiang Wuya wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he muttered to himself, as if he didn't believe this fact.

Zheng Jun shook off the remaining embers on the blade and slowly put away the blade: "Master Jiang, are you willing to accept the defeat? If not, your sect still has hundreds of disciples, enough to form a battle array to fight Zheng."

The words were plain, as if telling a very simple fact.

Zheng Jun looked at Jiang Wuya, whose eyes were already blank, and did not continue to attack him.

'Actually, I don't have four magical powers, I have five.'

Zheng Jun thought silently in his heart.

[One eye breaks through obstacles and sees through illusions. The repayment progress of "Third Eye Breaks Through Obstacles" is +10. The current repayment progress is: 10/3000. ]

[The bright sun blazes through the water curtain. The repayment progress of 'Yiliyangliuguang' is +21, and the current repayment progress is: 415/5000. ]

[The power of slaying a dragon, breaking waves and calming water. The repayment progress of 'Lushui slaying a dragon' is +10, and the current repayment progress is: 169/5000. ]

Small gold-plated characters appeared in front of him, and Zheng Jun's eyes were as calm as water.

Without defeating the enemy, the repayment progress is indeed not much.

Jiang Wuya is actually a powerful character.

His magical power is a combination of swordsmanship and illusion. Many people would not be able to react in time if they were hit by it unexpectedly, and would be easily ambushed by Jiang Wuya, thus dying miserably.

Even if you are stronger than Jiang Wuya, you may still die when facing such a move.

If Zheng Jun had not used the "Heavenly Eye Breaking Barrier" in advance, it would have been difficult for him to face Jiang Wuya, and the fight would have taken some time.

But unfortunately, as soon as the 'Heavenly Eyes Break Barriers' was used, the 'Mirror Flower and Water Moon' disappeared instantly. For Zheng Jun, it was just like using all four magical powers together to easily beat Jiang Wuya.

"Master!"

"Uncle Master!"

"Master!"

"..."

The disciples on the steps looked at Jiang Wuya who was coughing up blood, holding the broken blade in his hand, with worries in their hearts, as if they were ready to line up and fight Zheng Jun at any moment.

Jiang Wuya gradually came to his senses after hearing this. He looked at the blade in Zheng Jun's hand and the oppressive Qingjin Zhenyuan. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said with a dry cough, "Zheng Junshou is very skilled. Jiang is not as skilled as him. I am willing to admit defeat."

"From now on, everyone in Canglan Sword Clan, from top to bottom, will follow the lead of County Magistrate Zheng and obey his orders in everything!"

After saying this, Jiang Wuya's eyes became dull. Although his expression remained unchanged, at this moment, he seemed to have aged by ten years.

His grand ambition and vision of unifying the martial arts world of Bozhou all turned to dust with the failure of this simple confrontation.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Wuya's mood was naturally cleared.

Hearing Jiang Wuya's voice, Elder Han Pei was the first to put down his sword. After hesitating for a moment, he bowed to Zheng Jun and said, "From top to bottom, everyone in Canglan Sword Sect will follow the lead of County Governor Zheng and wait for your orders!"

As Han Pei finished speaking, the other disciples also said in unison: "From top to bottom, the Canglan Sword Sect will follow the orders of County Governor Zheng and wait for your orders!"

The voices came out simultaneously, shaking the entire building of Yanbei Mansion.

The servants, cooks and other staff in Yanbei Mansion could only hide and dared not say anything.

As for the guards that Yanbei Mansion usually employs, none of them dared to show up.

The guards are there to deal with general trouble, like drunks and stuff like that.

The person upstairs is a well-known figure in the whole Bozhou. How dare they go upstairs to stop him?
And Zhang Fang, a patrolman with the Golden Seal of the Six Gates outside the building, also heard the simultaneous shock in Yanbei Mansion. He was stunned for a moment, and then fell into silence for a long time.

The Silver Seal Patrolman at the side asked in a low voice: "Boss, are we going to rush in?"

After saying this, the patrolman with the silver badge stepped forward, dressed in tight clothes and full of murderous intent.

Patrolman Zhang Fang, who was awarded the gold seal, looked up at the patrolman who was awarded the silver seal and asked, "What are you going in for? Are you here to congratulate Zheng Jun?"

"Boss Zhang, they are so harmonious, it is obvious that the Tongzhou Society and the Canglan Sword Sect have merged. From now on, the martial arts world of Bozhou will probably be unified!"

Upon seeing this, Patrolman Yin Zhang was immediately filled with righteous indignation and said, "Such a situation has occurred in the martial arts world. It is obviously a serious violation of the imperial decree of Emperor Gaozu Wu! I, the patrolman of the Six Gates, must take action to disintegrate it!"

After hearing what the silver-stamped patrolman said, Zhang Fang looked back at him in disbelief: "Have you become idiot from practicing martial arts?"

Emperor Gaozuwu?
Where are the others?

What time is it, and we are still Emperor Gaozu Wu!
The governor of Bozhou is Cai Kang!

The one with the surname Zheng is Cai Kang’s grandson-in-law.

Not only that, he is also the most powerful county governor in the southern part of Bozhou, and can even be described as a "warlord".

Why did you mess with him?
After hearing Zhang Fang's words, the Silver Seal Patrolman was speechless for a moment. When he was about to say something, Zhang Fang took a deep breath, looked at the team of patrolmen behind him, and whispered, "Retreat, return to the Six Gates."

"Zhang Tou'er, are we just going to ignore it?"

The policeman with the silver badge was filled with righteous indignation, his eyes were stern!

"Very good. I will now give you a task. You will start from now on. Go to Pingzhang County alone, infiltrate Tongzhouhui, and collect intelligence on the illegal activities of Tongzhouhui."

Zhang Fang was displeased when he saw this person refute him like this, but because of the other person's identity, he said casually: "Remember, don't expose your whereabouts, and don't hurt anyone in the same boat. Now set off quickly and don't waste time!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the patrol officer with the silver seal immediately became alert and set off bravely.

After watching the silver badge and the patrolman set off, Zhang Fang took a deep breath and said to another person beside him, "Prepare a generous gift for me, and I will go up to pay a visit to Lord Zheng."

Zhang Fang was born in a mediocre family. He fought in the army for a long time but never made any progress, so he had to retire and join the Six Gates. As a result, it seemed that he had found his own path. He fought all the way and achieved the status of a gold-marked patrolman in a department like the Six Gates where most of the people were from aristocratic families.

Therefore, his respect for the Zhou Dynasty court was actually not that great.

He trusts his own hands more.

The imperial court is now crumbling, and the most powerful family in the entire Bozhou is the Cai family.

Apart from the Jiedushi Cai Kang, the most powerful person in the Cai family was Zheng Jun, the prefect of Kangle County.

This is a good opportunity for him to make friends with Zheng Jun.

If he could make friends with Zheng Jun, his future in Bozhou would be assured and he wouldn't have to worry about becoming a victim of the struggle between various forces.

For a martial artist like him with no background, there are only three options in troubled times.

One is when the wind blows and the clouds fly, and you establish your own regime to become a king!

The second is to become a tool for everyone to establish authority, and killing them will shock everyone!
The third is to find a wise leader to follow. If you are lucky, you can be granted a title and appointed as a general, and be rewarded with the honor of following the dragon. If you are unlucky, you will die along with the wise leader.

Of course, in most cases, the landing is smooth and without any success or failure.

Zhang Fang doesn't want to die, and even wants to go further, so he needs to make friends with Zheng Jun.

For a moment, Zhang Fang's eyes were a little dazed.

In Yanbei Mansion, the store owner had already set up a new table of food and wine, but everyone at the table was silent, and Jiang Wuya had a dead look on his face.

Only Zheng Jun ate meat with big mouthfuls and drank wine with big bowls.

Be happy and at ease.

After looking up at Jiang Wuya, Zheng Jun smiled and said, "Master Jiang, the Yunzhou dishes are really delicious! There are many game dishes, and I heard that they were specially transported from Yunzhou. Many of them have a trace of demon blood. Would you like to try them?"

Jiang Wuya forced a smile upon hearing this.

"Master Jiang, you don't need to mind too much. Canglan Sword Sect will not be removed from the list. I just want the salt, iron, and grain transport to be in my hands."

Zheng Jun said: "I will not touch any of your interests! Even the grain transport, salt and iron in several counties in the southern part of Bozhou can be handed over to you, but the people who are actually in charge must be 50% members of the Tongzhou Association! All foreign trade must also be notified to me, and you are not allowed to trade with the enemy!"

Jiang Wuya was startled when he heard Zheng Jun's words. Then he saw Zheng Jun said, "If Zheng is determined to eliminate Canglan Sword Sect and kill you all, where will Canglan Sword Sect be?"

Jiang Wuya's eyes regained their spirits after hearing this, and he said in disbelief: "Zheng County Magistrate... wants to hand over all the salt, iron, and grain transport in the south of Bozhou to me, and to Canglan Sword Gate?"

"Ah."

Zheng Jun opened his mouth calmly.

"This……"

Jiang Wuya was shocked.

In the northern part of Bozhou, the water system is not obvious.

Even so, it can support the practice of tens of thousands of people in Canglan Sword Gate, and save millions of taels of silver every year!
Now with the addition of the rich southern part of Bozhou, I’m afraid the annual income is no less than four or five million!

"Of course I want a share of the silver. Canglan Sword Sect will also select some disciples to serve as soldiers and generals in my army." Zheng Jun said slowly, "If Canglan Sword Sect can help me succeed, I will not be stingy with the magical power of the last sword of Canglang Jiaolong."

The Lushui Dragon-Slaying Technique is the least valuable magical power in Zheng Jun's hands.

The fewer people who know a magical power, the better.

This means it is mysterious and hard to find any flaws. In the southern part of the country, there is a lineage of the Yu family that inherited the Lushui Zhanjiao. They are the descendants of Yu Kai, the former Duke of Yuwei. At that time, there were two branches, one in the south and one in the north. The northern branch had withered and lost its magical powers. The Canghai School that inherited it was destroyed by Zheng Jun, and it has lost its roots since then.

However, the Yu family in the south is living a good life.

The magical power is still in hand, and there are no less than a dozen people who have entered the sect.

Although there are many people in the Sada Liuxing Society, all they need to know is the ability to escape quickly. Besides, this technique was passed down to him by the Cai family, so it is not appropriate for him to spread it around.

Radiant Sun, Floating Shadows and Breaking Barriers with the Sky Eyes are all rare magical powers that only a few people can master. Currently, Zheng Jun only knows that Wei Quan can use the 'Floating Shadows and Floating Life', and has never heard of the others.

Therefore, these three magical powers are the absolute core of Zheng Jun and naturally cannot be passed on.

After a while, Zheng Jun had only the "Lu Shui Zhan Jiao" as a carrot in front of his donkey's head to motivate his men to do their work.

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Jiang Wuya stood up instantly, shocked!

"Supernatural powers?!"

Han Pei and the other two passerby elders were also shocked!

This is a magical power!

How come in the mouth of County Magistrate Zheng, it seems like an ordinary martial art that he doesn't care much about and can be promised out casually?

"Does County Magistrate Zheng really mean what he said?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the topic of water transport, salt and iron, and annual income of millions came up.

It doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is this unparalleled magical power!
"I have many magical powers, why would I lie to you?"

Zheng Jun looked at Jiang Wuya indifferently, stretched out his hand, and instantly grasped all the air currents around him in his palm. The black and white inky fist force attacked instantly, and an inky jade seal appeared behind Zheng Jun!
"Hi~!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Wuya took a deep breath and said, "There are still magical powers?!"

Before coming, Jiang Wuya was extremely arrogant and said that as the leader of the number one sect in Bozhou, what big scene had he not seen?

After coming here today, Jiang Wuya was shocked to find out.

It turned out that he was the country bumpkin. He had never seen such a scene before.

How can it be?

How is it possible for a person to possess five kinds of magical martial arts when he has just entered the Tongqiao realm?
Jiang Wuya felt that his cognition was destroyed.

He now had a vague feeling that he should not be hanging around in the underworld. Was his idea of preferring to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix a bit wrong? Should he... also enter the officialdom and become a lackey of the court?

Jiang Wuya was in a trance.

“If that’s true, then Canglan Sword Sect, from top to bottom, is willing to serve Duke Zheng as their leader, and Jiang Wuya is willing to be the sword in Duke Zheng’s hand!” Jiang Wuya bowed.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun nodded in satisfaction.

As for whether Jiang Wuya really surrendered?
If loyalty can be concretely quantified, Jiang Wuya's loyalty at this moment is estimated to be only 20 points.

But Zheng Jun can use it as 60 points of loyalty.

Concerns between people can be more stable than many other relationships. Even if they are enemies, if they have interests involved, they can put aside their hatred and just make money first.

The reason why Zheng Jun came here to subdue Canglan Jianmen was also for this.

He doesn't care about making money.

After all, Zheng Jun is not short of money now.

But the most critical water transport, salt and iron must still be controlled in our own hands, even if we don’t make money, we must keep them in our own hands!

This is the most important.

We cannot let Canglan Sword Gate be destroyed like this at this moment.

If Canglan Sword Sect was destroyed by Zheng Jun, it would not mean that Tongzhou would be able to seize the market first. Other sects, even those in Yunzhou, might directly fill this gap.

Who doesn’t love white money?

This is trouble again.

Therefore, instead of allowing the underworld forces in the northern part of Bozhou to fall into chaos, it would be better to directly subdue the Canglan Sword Gate, which would save a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun smiled slightly, sat at the main seat at the banquet, and toasted with Jiang Wuya.

But at this moment, a disciple of Canglan Sword Sect hurried over from the first floor, came to the banquet, and said with a bow, "Master, Zhang Jinzhang from the Six Gates has sent a visiting card, and wants to meet with County Magistrate Zheng."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuya's face darkened immediately, and he said, "Canglan Sword Sect now obeys Lord Zheng as its master, why are you asking me?"

"Please forgive me, Lord Zheng."

The disciple was also smart. Upon seeing this, he immediately confessed his crime to Zheng Jun and then repeated what happened.

"Zhang Fang?"

Zheng Jun fell into deep thought when he heard the name.

The Liushenmen was an organization of the Zhou Dynasty court that was specifically responsible for the affairs of the martial arts world, and its status was equivalent to that of the Zhenfusi.

This Zhang Fang is the Gold Seal Patrolman of the Six Gates.

Equivalent to Yuan Ping, a captain of the Zhenfu Division.

I don't have any friendship with this Patrolman Zhang Fang, why is he coming to see me?

"Let this Zhang Jinzhang come in." Zheng Jun pondered.

Seeing this, Jiang Wuya immediately stood up and bowed to Zheng Jun, saying, "Mr. Zheng, I have just had enough wine and food, and I want to go downstairs for a walk to digest the food. I hope you won't mind."

Han Pei and the other two elders also stood up at the same time: "So do we. Please don't blame me, Lord Zheng."

Zheng Jun nodded, and the four of them went downstairs immediately.

Zheng Jun was the only one left on the entire second floor.

Soon, Zhang Fang, a patrolman from the Six Gates wearing black clothes and carrying a sword, came up the steps and bowed to Zheng Jun, saying, "I am here uninvited, please forgive me, Lord Zheng."

"The small gift I brought is not a sign of respect."

After saying that, Zhang Fang placed the gift on the table with a very kind face.

Zheng Jun took a look at the gift. Inside was a square porcelain bottle with a fragrant smell. It turned out to be a pill suitable for the Tongqiao realm.

"Thank you very much for the gift, Master Zhang."

Zheng Jun was not polite either. He agreed directly and then asked, "Master Zhang, why are you here this time?"

Seeing Zheng Jun being so direct, Zhang Fang's eyes narrowed, and he instantly changed his strategy in his mind. He immediately bowed and said, "It's actually nothing serious. If Master Zheng doesn't mind, I'm willing to gather some intelligence for you. If you have any instructions, you can also ask me, and I'll do my best."

"Ok?"

Zheng Jun couldn't help but be surprised.

Could it be that I am the legendary natural born emperor?

The tiger's body trembles, and the whole world follows. I will bow down to you? !

Zheng Jun was extremely surprised, but soon he came out of his fantasy.

I didn't do anything in Bozhou. The reason why the other party found me was probably because of the Cai family.

Once the position of Jiedushi of Bozhou came, the status of the Cai family in Bozhou became self-evident.

Zhang Fang and Yuan Ping were both from humble backgrounds.

The great Zhou's great ancestor, Emperor Wu, also known as Emperor Shenwu, was also very clear about the situations in various places. Therefore, the highest officials in charge of a state's pacification office or the Six Gates were all people of humble origins to avoid favoring the aristocratic families.

If Emperor Shenwu were still alive, the Six Gates and the Pacification Office would naturally be the two vicious dogs of the court, tearing apart all enemies who were hostile to the court.

But now that Emperor Shenwu is gone, Emperor Yongchang may not be able to hold on to the throne.

If Zhang Fang wanted to find a workaround, he could only think of getting closer to the Cai family.

And with the support of the Cai family and a large number of troops at his disposal, he is definitely the first choice for many people in Bozhou.

"Master Zhang, you are too kind."

Zheng Jun chuckled and thought of something, and immediately said, "There is indeed something I want to trouble Brother Zhang with."

"Mr. Zheng, please speak." Zhang Fang was very enthusiastic.

Zheng Jun said, "Before I became famous, I had a brother who served as a secret guard in the Pacification Bureau. His name was 'Bo Zhangjiu'. A few months ago, he was sent out to carry out a mission for the Pacification Bureau. I wonder if Brother Zhang has any way to help me find out about this from Captain Yuan?"

Yuan Ping, a loyal servant of the imperial court, would not easily leak the news.

The Six Gates and the Pacification Division are very different in nature. Zhang Fang and Yuan Ping have similar backgrounds. I wonder if they have some personal relationship that would allow them to get the information.

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Zhang Fang pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed difficult to get information about the secret guards from Captain Yuan, but I may know about the mission they are carrying out."

"Ok?"

Zheng Jun couldn't help but be stunned.

"About seven months ago, Qingzhou was plagued by banditry. The Pacification Office mobilized personnel from all over the country, disguised them as gangsters, and infiltrated Qingzhou to suppress the bandits from Tianwang Mountain. At that time, Captain Yuan also asked our Six Gates to help with some training."

Zhang Fang said immediately: "I personally organized the plan and took the patrol officers to destroy the Qingyu Pavilion, an outer sect in Bozhou, to ensure that no one in the sect was alive. The more than ten people then disguised themselves as disciples of the Qingyu Pavilion who had escaped by chance and went to Qingzhou."

After that, Zhang Fang added: "The clothes of the disciples of the Qingyu Pavilion are mostly decorated with peacock feathers. Because I was worried about the news leaking out, I personally peeled off a lot of peacock feathers. The memory is still fresh."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun fell into deep thought.

The time is right.

It seems that Wang Heng did go to Qingzhou under the identity of "Qingyu Pavilion".

If you want to obtain the subsequent advanced technique of the Broken Jade Technique, the 'Taixu Ningyu Pian', you may have to go to Qingzhou.

Zheng Jun thought to himself: "Never mind, going to Qingzhou is closer than going to Jiazhou."

The matter of technique is the most important.

If there is no martial arts method, using the meager power of Shattered Jade Technique to impact the second spiritual orifice, it will take a lot of time.

The top priority right now is to get the Taixu Ningyu Pian as soon as possible!
