Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 247 Feuds and Killings Are Commonplace in the Martial World (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Wuyinghou spent countless efforts cultivating the Boshi Kingdom for more than ten years before gaining the trust of the Boshi Emperor and tricking the Boshi Kingdom's navy into landing to attack the Northern Yan people from both sides.

He originally intended to take advantage of the opportunity to gather all his fleet and swallow up the Bo Shi Kingdom's fleet while the Bo Shi Kingdom's army was away, thus becoming the king of the sea. However, he never expected to be outmaneuvered by Sun Yanwan. Not only did he fail to swallow the Bo Shi Kingdom's fleet, but his own fleet was also repeatedly outmaneuvered by Sun Yanwan. Relying on the strategies he left behind, he tried to drive a tiger into swallowing a wolf and reap the benefits, but instead lost many ships and his men, and could only flee to the sea in a sorry state.

The only consolation for Wuyinghou is that his eight concubines and twelve generals are still alive, his core members are intact, and he still has the potential to turn the tide.

Cao Zhenzhen was not one of the Eight Beauties, and Shi Xingye, who was sent to use Boshi's gunpowder to kill Wei Yingxiao and Shi Si, was not one of the Twelve Generals.

Wuying Hou (Shadowless Marquis) placed great importance on cultivating his subordinates, and under the Eight Beauties and Twelve Generals, there were countless talents.

Yun Zhongyan was actually carrying out a very important mission when he landed this time. He should have kept his whereabouts hidden, but he was, after all, a notorious womanizer and couldn't stand being alone. He committed a few crimes and was then targeted by the Red Lotus Society.

The new leader of the Red Lotus Society is handsome and refined. He is about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He comes from an excellent family. His grandfather was a high-ranking official in the court and he studied under the Qingwei Sword Sect. The previous leader of the Red Lotus Society was his adoptive father.

This man's surname is Chen, and his given name is Xuan Ge. He left his master's mountain a month ago, intending to return home to cultivate in seclusion and prepare for tomorrow's imperial examination.

However, the former leader of the Red Lotus Society was appointed by his adoptive father before his death, who designated him to take over the Red Lotus Society. Therefore, the twelve leaders of the Red Lotus Society traveled thousands of miles to invite him to take over the leadership of the Red Lotus Society.

Grateful for his adoptive father's kindness, Chen Xuange agreed to the request of the leaders of the Red Lotus Society to hold a succession ceremony in this town, thus becoming the new leader of the Red Lotus Society.

Everyone was in an uproar, eager to kill Yun Zhongyan. Chen Xuange smiled slightly and said, "The Shadowless Marquis recently suffered a great loss in Black Dragon City. More than half of his thousand ships were lost, and he dares not go ashore now. Yun Zhongyan is his second-highest general. His landing here must be for a secret plot. If we want to kill him, we must plan carefully and not let the news leak out."

"I suggest we temporarily seal off this town and use it as our temporary headquarters. We must find Yun Zhongyan's hideout and kill him with lightning speed to avenge my adoptive father."

The leaders of the Red Lotus Society cheered loudly, creating a very lively atmosphere.

When Hu Lingwei returned to his rented courtyard, he also told Sun Yanwan that the town had been temporarily requisitioned by the Red Lotus Society and would remain under lockdown. Sun Yanwan was speechless for a moment; he was lucky nothing serious had happened, otherwise he would definitely have been delayed.

Hu Lingwei returned to the courtyard and began practicing martial arts. Sun Yanwan watched for a while, then shook her head slightly. Suddenly, she remembered that Miao Youxiu and Miao Canglang had both asked him to visit their illegitimate child. She had already visited Miao Youxiu and found out that she had given birth to a daughter. Miao Youxiu probably wouldn't acknowledge the child. She had also left behind the secret manual and instructed the Tianma Gang to take care of the child.

As for Miao Canglang, I haven't had time to visit him yet. According to the timeline, Miao Canglang's son should be six or seven years old by now, so it's time to go and see him and present him with the martial arts manual that Miao Canglang left behind.

The martial arts manuals left behind by Miao Canglang were all collected by the Miao family, and each one was quite extraordinary. Although Sun Yanwan did not practice them because she had the true teachings of the Songyang School, she had still read through them.

The first volume of the Sun Family Martial Arts Manual is based on the martial arts manual left by Miao Canglang, with additions and supplements.

The first volume of Sun's Martial Arts Manual has now been supplemented with the Nameless Sword Manual, the Blind Man's Divine Sword, the Withering and Flourishing Blade, the Ice Silkworm Transformation, the Golden Sutra of the Sun, the Battle Buddha's Illustrated Manual, the Immortal-Slaying Hammer, and the Human Immortal Fist! It contains the martial arts of the five great families, the Miao and Hu families, the martial arts of the three great martial arts holy lands, the Songyang Sect and the Longzang Temple, as well as the martial arts of the Great Snow Mountain in the Western Regions and the Boshi Kingdom. Although the martial arts manual is not yet very extensive, its quality is first-class in the world, and very few sects can match it.

If Sun Yanwan were to establish a sect based on the Sun Family Martial Arts Manual, it wouldn't be difficult for her to rise to the level of the top ten sword sects, the five great families, or the top ten gangs, provided she has a few talented disciples.

In the following days, the Red Lotus Society's experts came and went frequently. On the third day after Chen Xuange succeeded as the leader, the Red Lotus Society's experts found Yun Zhongyan. The two sides fought a fierce battle, in which two leaders of the Red Lotus Society died, and Yun Zhongyan escaped with injuries.

Because they failed to kill Yun Zhongyan and two of their leaders died in battle, the members of the Red Lotus Society became agitated and tightened their control over the town. They even sent people to investigate the courtyard that Hu Lingwei had rented twice. Fortunately, he was at least a leader, so no conflict arose.

Sun Yanwan stayed for eight days, but the Red Lotus Society still hadn't captured Yun Zhongyan, so he started to feel restless.

He didn't ask the Red Lotus Society for help, nor did he tell Hu Lingwei, knowing that there would definitely be a lot of trouble. He used his lightness skill to slip out of the town, chose a defensive line, and prepared to look for Miao Canglang's illegitimate son.

He hadn't gone far when he heard the sound of horses' hooves. More than ten members of the Red Lotus Society came out in pursuit. When they saw Sun Yanwan, they shouted together, "Thief monk, where do you think you're going?"

Sun Yanwan was somewhat bewildered. She stopped and waited for these people to catch up, intending to explain herself, when a burly man shouted, "You bald thief, you colluded with Wuying Hou and sent the message to Yun Zhongyan. Do you still want to escape?"

Sun Yanwan sighed. When he first arrived in this world, he came into contact with the Scorpion Cult. Later, he also came into contact with some gangs. There were not many people of good character in these gangs. Most of them were brave and ruthless.

These people framed Yun Zhongyan simply because they couldn't catch her and discovered she had "escaped," without any evidence whatsoever. This is typical of how gangs operate.

Sun Yanwan waited silently for the burly man to swing his spiked club and bring it down on her head. People around shouted, "Seventeenth Master, spare her!"

The burly man slightly shifted the direction of his spiked club, instead aiming it at the man's shoulder.

Sun Yanwan made a feint with one palm, unleashing the Mahayana Prajna Palm. He hadn't practiced this martial art much, only able to activate it with his Xuanhuang True Qi, barely reaching the fourth rank. Fortunately, the members of these gangs lacked insight and their martial arts were too weak to recognize that Sun Yanwan's martial arts were merely a facade. Although his moves and palm strikes had a Buddhist air, his internal strength was still based on the Songyang School.

This seventeenth leader of the Red Lotus Society was only a seventh-rank martial artist. Although he was already considered a big shot in the martial arts world, he was still far inferior to Sun Yanwan, even if Sun Yanwan could not use her sect's martial arts.

With a single "Mahayana Prajna Palm," Sun Yanwan dissipated the force from the seventeenth leader of the Red Lotus Society's spiked club. The opponent was only a seventh-rank cultivator with shallow internal energy, so Sun Yanwan didn't even have to exert much force. With a casual flick of his wrist, the spiked club flew out of his hand.

Well, although Sun Yanwan could only use the palm force of the fourth grade realm, he had genuine first grade realm martial arts skills and easily subdued the burly man.

Defeat in one move!
