Madam, please listen to my explanation.

Chapter 38 The storm is coming
The streets of Yunliu Town were crowded with people as usual.

Thanks to the golden signboard of Hehuan Sect, this place has long become the largest market in Qingzhou.

With the deliberate indulgence of the Yan court, there is nothing that cannot be bought here, whether it is various strange weapons or elixirs.

Therefore, it is not surprising that they appear here, whether they are ordinary people or famous masters of immortal sects.

The Hehuan Sect is wealthy and powerful.

The Duofu Thatched Cottage located in Xinghua Lane was destroyed a few days ago, and the reconstruction work began the next day.

The small alley was temporarily cordoned off.

If someone accidentally walked in, they would be shocked by the scene before them.

In front of the thatched cottage, a middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion sat cross-legged.

He closed his eyes tightly, and pieces of wood and stone of various sizes revolved around him, and then fell neatly into the medicine shop to be repaired.

Beside him, a shirtless man with muscular build was using two short knives in his hands to cut the thick stone pillars that took several people to hug into the shape he needed.

There are as many as five such extraordinary people gathered here!

They were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, like ordinary helpers.

They didn't talk to each other, they just focused on the work at hand.

"Wow~ It's quite lively."

It's already noon.

An old man with a white face and no beard walked into the alley with a twist of his waist.

He pinched his fingers with one hand, gently twisting the long hair that fell on one side, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Even if we want to build a pharmacy, we need to mobilize so many sixth-grade grandmasters.

Sect Master Ning's display is truly magnificent, truly an eye-opener for us!"

Several people turned a deaf ear to the old man's arrival, only the big man with a red face opened his eyes, stood up and bowed slightly:

"It was Eunuch Han himself who came."

Eunuch Han covered his face and smiled.

"Master Zhang is so polite~
We have been ordered by the Emperor to come and protect the Ning Sect Master.

I wonder who he has offended that has to mobilize such a large force?"

Just as the old eunuch said, those gathered here are not ordinary people.

They were keenly aware of the sound of dense footsteps gradually coming from all around them.

In a short while, there were no less than dozens of figures surrounding the place.

Judging from his steps and breathing
They are all good players above the third rank!
The name of a secret organization directly under the palace suddenly appeared in everyone's mind -

Bloody Guard!

So many henchmen in the imperial court, plus this sixth-rank peak imperial master in front of him.
The atmosphere in the alley began to become weird.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at each other.

I've heard that He Huan Zong Ning Cai Xie seems to be behind the massive coup in Yanjing.
Now I see that what he said is true!

However, the Great Yan court and these local sects have always kept their distance from each other.

Could it be that Zhao Jingqian is going to do something tricky as soon as he takes office?

"Eunuch Han, Sect Leader Zhang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

The two sides were in a stalemate when a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Everyone was slightly stunned.

Then he couldn't help but sigh that the ancient formation in Qingluan Mountain was indeed worthy of its reputation!
The newcomer smiled and bowed to both parties. Before he could speak, the man holding the two swords asked:

"Sect Master Ning, what does this mean?
We all gathered here because of your raven message, and not only did we do a whole day's hard work for nothing, but now, we haven't even seen the shadow of that thief Shen."

He looked at Eunuch Han and the others, his tone clearly somewhat unfriendly:

"I've heard that Sect Leader Ning has a close relationship with the current emperor. Could it be that he's set up such a big scheme to settle accounts with us?"

As they were talking, someone familiar with the situation noticed that Ning Caixie looked a little weak.

Although he still looked elegant and had long black hair, he seemed a little paler than before.

Hearing this, Ning Caixie gave a bitter smile:
"You all misunderstood."

He raised his arm and rolled up the long sleeve on his right arm.

Looking at the empty wrist, everyone immediately gasped!
Ning Caixie's eyes were gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"I've heard that thief Shen is arrogant and domineering, relying on his skills to challenge major sects with his sword.

At first, Ning did not take it seriously
Until a few days ago, when Ning was refining medicine in a neighboring county, his wrists were suddenly cut off!

That person struck and fled, threatening to kill me on Qingluan Mountain today!"

He became increasingly agitated.

At this point, all parties involved basically no longer have any doubts.

Ning Caixie took in everyone's expressions.

The people he contacted this time were all the sects that had been provoked by Shen Ye in the past year.

It's all thanks to my good apprentice.
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to come up with such a perfect reason to gather so many talented people together.

Just come.

Since they have arrived at their own territory, I will use the magic of the formation to cover them up, no matter who they are.
Even if he is not Shen Ye, he will become Shen Ye!

"If this thief is not eliminated, I will not be at peace!
I also ask everyone to lend a helping hand to Ning and help him destroy this lao!"

"As it should be!"
-
Zizhu Peak, beside the stream.

Three days.

Xu Jinhuan practiced with Zhao Ruoxi here all day long.

Since the "chicken pecking rice" incident that day, although the two never mentioned it, the atmosphere had unconsciously become more subtle.
As a result, the good Ruoshui sword technique was forcibly practiced into the "eye-to-eye sword technique".

Compared to the young girl's love, Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Ever since that day in Qingyang County, Ning Caixie seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and has never appeared again.

Today is the deadline he promised the 'National Master' to treat Zhao Ruoxi's illness.

He will definitely come!
The calm weather these past few days seems to be foreshadowing a huge storm.

During this period, Yuan Hongling visited once.

No one knew what she did, but she just waved her sleeves in front of Zhao Ruoxi, and the bloody poisonous aura on her body instantly dissipated.

Before leaving, he did not forget to leave an antidote as a sign of sincerity.

It’s just that his attitude is a bit cold, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Now, there are Master's Wife and Xiaoqing as accomplices.

Outside, the brother-in-law is ready to take action and vent his anger on behalf of his sister.

It should be more than enough to deal with Ning Caixie, who has lost the protection of the mountain protection formation.

For some reason, Xu Jinhuan always felt a little uneasy.

"Big Brother! Big Brother, are you there?"

Just as he was lost in thought, a figure hurriedly broke through the gate of Zizhu Peak.

Xu Yiliu held onto the door edge and panted:

"Oh no, big brother, Ake Ake has been captured by thieves at the foot of the mountain!
Master and his wife are nowhere to be found, so you need to think of a solution!"

Xu Jinhuan and Zhao Ruoxi looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"Your Highness, please recuperate here. I will go down the mountain with my junior brother."
