Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 190 The Money Gang, Shangguan Jin Hong
After saying this, the old palace master couldn't help but shake his head.

Perhaps because these words affected his mood, after finishing his speech, the old palace master's expression became somewhat desolate, and he lost interest in continuing the conversation.

After giving Sun Qingyan a few instructions, he used his lightness skill to head towards the Yihua Palace.

Seeing this, Sun Qingyan and the others could only discuss the matter of closing the Yihua Palace to the mountain.

May, the ninth day

Hulong Villa.

Inside a secret room with walls made of refined iron, Zhu Wushi sat cross-legged in the center of the room.

Around his body, streams of true energy, flowing like water, swirled around Zhu Wushi like swimming dragons.

Zhu ignored the powerful energy surrounding his body, which caused the flames hanging on the wall to flicker continuously.

However, less than a foot away from Zhu Wushi, there were more than a dozen corpses lying limp on the ground.

If Shen Ping'an or Zhang San Niang were here, they would surely be able to identify these corpses by the insignia on their clothes, and they would all be members of the Xie family of Shenjian Manor.

A moment later, a terrifying burst of energy erupted from Zhu Wushi's body, violently sending the corpses in front of him flying several feet.

Zhu Wushi opened his eyes, a glint in his eyes.

"The Celestial Realm, I have finally stepped into the Celestial Realm."

Feeling the surging true qi in his upper dantian and the faintly wandering power of heaven and earth around him, Zhu Wushi felt his whole body filled with a surging vitality.

"clap clap"

However, at that moment, a burst of applause suddenly rang out from the secret room.

"It wasn't easy! A whole month, 137 members of the Xie family, more than 30 of whom were at the Heavenly Gang Realm. It took absorbing so many people to get you into the Heavenly Human Realm. No wonder your 'Absorption Technique' is only at the mid-grade Heavenly Rank."

Upon hearing the voice, Zhu Wushi quickly suppressed his joy and returned to his usual composure and solemnity.

Slowly turning his head, Zhu Wushi looked at the figure that was slowly walking out of the opened hidden door.

The man appeared to be in his forties, and his square face and thick eyebrows gave him a particularly imposing look.

He wore a dark gold robe adorned with coins, which shimmered with golden light in the surrounding candlelight.

It was astonishing to discover that the coins that appeared to be decorative patterns on the man's robes were actually sewn with real gold thread.

This person walks at a slow pace, yet moves like a floating cloud, without startling any falling leaves, demonstrating his exceptional skill in light-body techniques.

What is most striking is the man's aura, which flows like a mighty river, making people feel a chill in their hearts.

It was Shangguan Jin Hong, the leader of the Money Gang, who ranked second on the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion Weapon Ranking, even surpassing the "Little Li Flying Dagger" of "Little Li Tan Hua" Li Xunhuan, and whose cultivation had reached the fourth level of the Celestial Realm.

Zhu Wushi's gaze fell on Shangguan Jin Hong, and noticing the undisguised contempt in Shangguan Jin Hong's eyes, he said in a deep voice: "I have said it many times, if you do not have my secret instructions, do not enter this secret room."

However, Shangguan Jin Hong ignored Zhu Wushi's words, walked slowly to the corpses of the Xie family members with his hands behind his back, looked at them for a moment, and then looked up at Zhu Wushi with interest.

“When Shenhou asked me to secretly bring these Xie family members back for your cultivation before, his attitude was not as tough as it is now.”

After a pause, Shangguan Jin Hong continued, "Or does the Divine Marquis think that now that his cultivation has reached the first level of the Celestial Realm, he is qualified to be assertive in front of this gang leader?"

As if he had long been accustomed to Shangguan Jin Hong's way of speaking, Zhu Wu Shi slowly stood up.

He raised his left hand, his five fingers slightly bent, and gathered a force out of thin air, aiming at a bronze oil lamp embedded in the iron wall, ten feet off the ground.

After twisting the oil lamp with his strength, the bronze lamp made a "crackling" sound. The next second, the iron plate beneath the corpses in the room suddenly folded down, revealing a pit that led to an unknown destination.

After all the corpses had fallen into the pit, Zhu Wushi used his internal energy to rotate the bronze oil lamp on the iron wall again, causing the folded floor to close up again.

After disposing of the corpses, Zhu Wushi asked, "What is it?"

Looking at Zhu Wushi's calm expression, Shangguan Jin Hong seemed to suddenly lose interest, and then said in a low voice, "It's nothing, just that the Great Dragon Head asked me to confirm with you whether you are ready for the events of a few days from now."

In response to Shangguan Jin Hong's words, Zhu Wu Shi said expressionlessly, "You can reply to the Great Dragon Head that I have already made preparations for the situation in the palace."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jin Hong casually replied, "Then I wish you all your dreams come true and that you've finally secured that position."

After speaking, Shangguan Jin Hong slowly turned around and walked towards the direction of the hidden door.

However, after the hidden door opened, Shangguan Jin Hong, who had just stepped into it, suddenly spoke.

"Don't forget what you promised me. Otherwise, although there are rules in the Azure Dragon Society that dragon leaders cannot fight each other, there is no requirement that a dragon leader in the Azure Dragon Society cannot cripple another dragon leader."

When she said this, Shangguan Jin Hong's voice became less casual and more icy.

The threatening tone in your words shouldn't be too strong.

Zhu Wushi said coldly, "I know this in my heart. Instead of worrying about me breaking the contract, you should help me find the only two remaining Heavenly Fragrance Cardamoms in the world."

"Don't worry! We've already heard news about one of the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom seeds."

After leaving those words, the dark gold robe vanished into the darkness.

Once the hidden door was completely closed, Zhu Wushi clenched his fists tightly inside the secret room, his eyes filled with a murderous intent that was almost tangible.

After a long while, Zhu Wushi took a deep breath and suppressed the murderous intent surging in his heart before leaving through another hidden door.

After passing through a long and complicated secret passage, they returned to the study inside the Dragon Guard Manor.

However, just as Zhu Wushi stepped out of the study, he was met by Shangguan Haitang, who was waiting outside.

Seeing Zhu Wushi walk out of the house, Shangguan Haitang was overjoyed.

However, Zhu Wushi had a rule that when he was handling important matters in his study, even his adopted sons and daughters, who had been taken in by Zhu Wushi since childhood, could not enter at will. They could only wait outside the courtyard where the study was located.

Therefore, Shangguan Haitang only stepped forward after seeing Zhu Wushi come out.

"Father, news just came from the East Gate that Shen Ping'an, along with Zhang San Niang, Yao Yue from Yi Hua Palace, and Lian Xing, entered the capital through the East Gate."

Upon hearing Shangguan Haitang's words, Zhu Wushi narrowed his eyes, a sinister glint flashing across them.

Even now, Zhu Wushi can't forget the sword strike that Shen Ping'an used to force his cultivation to regress.

However, thinking about what he was about to do, Zhu Wushi could only suppress the murderous intent that had just risen in his heart.

At this moment, Shangguan Haitang asked, "Godfather, could it be that Shen Ping'an and the others suddenly returned to the capital because of the decisive battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue in a few days?"

Zhu Wushi did not respond, but pondered for a moment before saying, "Prepare a gift, and come with me to pay a visit later."

Seeing that Zhu Wushi was actually going to visit him, Shangguan Haitang was taken aback and asked, "Godfather, you're going in person?"

"Hmm!" Zhu Wushi nodded first, then said in a deep voice, "Because of the decisive battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, a large number of martial artists have gathered in the capital. Now the capital can be described as a mixed bag."

"Shen Ping'an has also returned to the capital at this time. If I don't find out the reason, I won't be at ease."
