Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 246 The Great Dragon Head (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Sun Yanwan asked a few questions and found out that these people were all members of the Red Lotus Society. They didn't insist on leaving and were planning to find a quiet street corner to meditate.

While on Mount Songyang, Sun Yanwan always tried to replace sleep with meditation to gain more time for cultivation, but he was never able to do so. After all, his skill level was still insufficient at that time, and he couldn't do such an extreme thing. But recently, his skill level has been increasing day by day. He disguised himself as a monk and went down the mountain to find an opportunity to advance to the Innate Realm. Unintentionally, he achieved this. He can meditate all day long instead of sleeping, and his spirit is actually better.

Suddenly a voice called out, "Yellow-faced monk, have you been stranded here?"

Sun Yanwan looked up and saw the young man she had met that night. He clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect and said, "Those benefactors indeed wouldn't let this humble monk leave."

The boy chuckled and said, "I just happened to rent a courtyard, and I live alone. Why don't you stay here with me, Master?"

Sun Yanwan chuckled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, benefactor."

The young man took Sun Yanwan to the courtyard he rented, and asked on the way, "Did the master release that woman?"

Sun Yanwan said solemnly, "I am the lewd monk Dajiu. How could I let that woman leave? Afterwards, the woman was crying and sobbing, so I killed her and buried her by the roadside."

The boy was extremely embarrassed, unsure whether to believe Sun Yanwan or treat it as a joke.

Seeing that he couldn't accept it right away, Sun Yanwan said again, "That was just a joke."

Just as the boy breathed a sigh of relief, Sun Yanwan continued, "However, as you know, it rained heavily that day, and the woman lay on the ground for several hours. When she got up, she was burning up with fever and coughing incessantly. Even after I released her acupoints, she still couldn't get up."

The boy believed him this time and exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't think it through!"

His face immediately showed worry, and he started scratching his head in frustration.

Sun Yanwan was slightly curious about the young man and asked, "I still don't know your name, young benefactor?"

The young man replied, "My surname is Hu, my given name is Lingwei, and I am the twenty-eighth leader of the Red Lotus Society."

Sun Yanwan was taken aback and asked, "Is it Hu from the Demon-Slaying Hu family?"

The boy remained silent for a while. Just then, they arrived at the courtyard where he rented a place. He pushed open the gate and said, "My mother is a concubine of the Hu family. Although she has the surname Hu, she is not a true descendant of the Hu family and cannot learn the Hu family's Demon-Slaying Sword Technique."

Sun Yanwan understood slightly. He could tell that day that both the boy and the girl had very ordinary martial arts skills. Such mediocre martial arts skills were common in the martial arts world. However, he did not expect that the martial arts world was sometimes very big and sometimes very small.

The courtyard that Hu Lingwei rented wasn't very big, but it had three or four rooms. After settling Sun Yanwan in, he couldn't help but say, "Master, please stay here. I need to arrange for someone to look for that girl. If something happens to her, I'll be very uneasy."

Seeing his anxiety, Sun Yanwan smiled and said, "The woman was fine. I used my internal energy to dispel the cold from her and left immediately."

This time, Hu Lingwei was somewhat skeptical. Sun Yanwan reached out her hand, and Hu Lingwei, still doubtful, also reached out his hand. The two lightly exchanged palm strikes. Hu Lingwei felt as if Sun Yanwan's palm was a branding iron, and his whole body felt hot. He quickly withdrew his hand.

Sun Yanwan shook his head slightly. If it were a contest of internal strength and palm power, withdrawing his hand like this would result in serious injury or death. However, against an enemy with martial arts skills like his own, he would die anyway if he didn't withdraw his hand.

Hu Lingwei then believed Sun Yanwan's words. He said with a hint of envy, "The master is only a few years older than me, but his martial arts are superb. It is truly enviable."

Sun Yanwan smiled slightly. In fact, this boy was also seventeen or eighteen years old, slightly older than him, but he had disguised himself and looked slightly older than the other party. He casually said, "Although your internal strength is shallow, your mental cultivation method is not bad. As long as you continue to cultivate, you will definitely become a master."

Hu Lingwei said with a slight excitement, "A few years ago, there was a Tianma Gang warehouse near my house. People in the Tianma Gang could practice martial arts and did not restrict outsiders from learning. I learned two sections of the mental cultivation method and twelve moves of martial arts, and then I ran away to travel the world. Not long ago, I met the fourth leader of the Red Lotus Society. He saw that I had good aptitude, took me as his disciple, taught me his unique mental cultivation method, and introduced me to the Red Lotus Society."

Sun Yanwan was slightly surprised. He had always thought that this young man had been learning martial arts for a long time, but he did not expect that the other party had been learning martial arts for a shorter time than him, and that the reason for learning martial arts was actually related to him.

This made him look at Hu Lingwei with new respect, thinking to himself, "This young man has managed to cultivate the lower volume of the Sun Family Martial Arts Manual in just a few years, a martial art that is commonly known as martial arts. No wonder the fourth leader of the Red Flower Society is willing to take him as a disciple."

What he just said wasn't the truth. When he exchanged blows with Hu Lingwei, Sun Yanwan realized that the boy's internal energy was mixed and impure, and the level of his internal skill was very low, probably not even as good as the Blind Sword Master of the Guanxin Sect.

He was just offering a casual compliment, providing some emotional value to the other person.

The Blind Man's Divine Sword is at least a unique skill of the Guanxin Sect, capable of supporting a mid-level sect. The fourth leader of the Red Lotus Society is probably not as skilled as the top masters of the Guanxin Sect, and what he has learned is not even as good as the Rift Palm of Ding Feng's family. Even if Hu Lingwei has high talent, he can only cultivate to the sixth or seventh level in this lifetime, which is the limit.

Hu Lingwei talked with Sun Yanwan for a while, then someone from the Red Lotus Society came to invite him, the 28th leader, over. He said goodbye to Sun Yanwan and left with the person.

Sun Yanwan remained alone, meditating with her eyes closed.

Hu Lingwei didn't return that night, and the next day the whole town suddenly became lively. Countless martial arts figures arrived, and a ceremony was held in the center of the town. In the evening, Hu Lingwei had someone send some food to Sun Yanwan. Sun Yanwan asked the Red Lotus Society member who delivered the food a question and learned that the new leader of the Red Lotus Society had arrived in town during the day and announced his succession, taking over the leadership of the Red Lotus Society.

As the twenty-eighth leader of the Red Lotus Society, Hu Lingwei naturally couldn't get away from returning.

At this moment, in the largest household in town, the newly appointed leader of the Red Lotus Society and more than thirty other members were discussing a major matter.

The murder of the former leader of the Red Lotus Society has been weighing heavily on the minds of all its leaders. Through extensive inquiries, they have learned that the murderer is Yun Zhongyan, the second of the twelve generals under Wuying Hou. He was originally a notorious womanizer in the martial arts world, but later joined Wuying Hou's forces.

Yun Zhongyan followed Wuying Hou overseas, and since the Red Lotus Society was leaderless, they could only endure it.

This time, they learned that Yun Zhongyan had come to Dalang again. After the new leader took over, his first task was to hunt down Yun Zhongyan and prevent him from returning to the sea.

Seeing the excited crowd of experts in the gang, Hu Lingwei felt a little excited as well. He thought to himself, "This time, the Red Lotus Society has mobilized in a big way to hunt down Yun Zhongyan. I also need to make some contributions. I can't let the new leader underestimate me."
