Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 434 The Sun-Shooting Bow

"You flatter me, Governor."

Gao Wu laughed and said modestly.

He was quite satisfied with the poem. Although it was rather crude, it excelled in its coherent spirit and direct expression of his feelings.

"Mr. Gao is too modest. We men should write poetry with such boldness."

Tie Mu is not proficient in poetry, and it is not appropriate to discuss poetry here.

He was a pragmatic man, and immediately changed the subject, saying, "Please decide what to do with this woman, sir."

Although Rosanne was unharmed, in Tie Mu's eyes she was already a lamb to the slaughter.

Although this woman possesses high martial arts skills, her intelligence and courage are mediocre, posing no threat to the border. Killing her, however, would invite the Blade Demon Bai Ke.

She is also a saint of the Holy Fire Cult, whose followers are quite devout. Knowing this, they will surely exact revenge.

Ironwood didn't want to kill Rosanne, but he had to respect Gao Wu's opinion.

Whether it was out of gratitude for Gao Wu's righteous help or out of respect for Gao Wu's unparalleled martial arts skills.

In this battle, Gao Wu's swordsmanship was unpredictable, like that of a ghost or god; anyone who faced him would die instantly.

Even powerful figures like Chi Na and Ye Qingfeng couldn't withstand a single sword strike. Ye Qingfeng, in particular, was incredibly agile; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch his opponent, yet Gao Wu easily slashed him down with a single sword strike.

Using Ye Qingfeng as a benchmark, it is clear that Gao Wu's martial arts skills are far superior to his!

Gao Wu understood Tie Mu's meaning perfectly: if Luo Shan came to kill him, he would naturally not be polite.

Even Tie Mu, as the aggrieved party, wanted to release Rosanne, so he didn't have to play the villain.

He said to Rosanne, “I am sending this poem to your teacher. I will soon be traveling to the Central Plains. If your teacher is interested, he may come to the Central Plains for a visit.”

Luo Shan breathed a sigh of relief. Gao Wu had beheaded dozens of experts in this battle, like a god of death, and she had developed a deep fear of him.

It is truly a stroke of luck that I was able to escape from Gao Wu's clutches.

She didn't dare say much, but simply nodded slightly to indicate that she would pass on the message.

As for Gao Wu's invitation to her teacher, she didn't really take it seriously. Gao Wu was indeed a top expert, but he was clearly not a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

Ironwood wasn't afraid of Rosen's tricks; he gave her two horses and sent her away.

As for how the other party leaves the city, that's her business.

Tie Mu said to Gao Wu, "Something might have happened at the camp. I'm going to check it out."

Gao Wu asked, "Do you want me to come along?"

“I wouldn’t dare trouble you, sir. It’s just a small matter, I can handle it myself.”

Tie Mu knew his martial arts skills were far inferior to Gao Wu's, but he believed that the trouble in the military camp was not due to the suppression by a master, but rather because someone had taken the military governor's tally.

If there are truly skilled fighters, let's all work together to kill him. Once we kill him, all the problems will be solved; there's no need for so many tricks.

Besides, he is a top-tier expert in this world, so he has nothing to fear even if there are truly powerful opponents. With a single call from his arm in the military camp, he can command thousands of troops.

Even if we encounter a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, we will have no fear!

Gao Wu nodded; he believed in Tie Mu's abilities.

The surprise attack on the Tie family was premeditated by the enemy, who had also joined forces with various other factions.

Now that Tie Mu has realized the situation, if he still can't control it, then he's utterly incompetent. He can't possibly act as Tie Mu's babysitter.

Let Tie Mu handle the Blackwater City matter himself.

"Yuhe, you accompany the master back to bathe and change his clothes."

Tie Zhen stepped forward, lowered his eyes slightly, and said respectfully, "Please go back and rest, sir. I will handle things here."

"Alright." Gao Wu had no interest in disposing of the corpse; killing the thief was satisfying, but burying him would be a hassle. Back in the courtyard, Yu He hurriedly went to find someone.

Yes, the sounds of battle were deafening, and flames were raging. The servants had long since found places to hide or disappeared.

Yuhe searched for a long time before finding a few people and persuading them to start a fire and boil water.

When Gao Wu returned to his room, he took off his blue robe and inner robe. They were covered in blood, which had stained large areas with black and red. They were sticky and uncomfortable to wear.

When several people carried over a large bucket of hot water, Gao Wu didn't stand on ceremony and took a comfortable hot bath.

Yuhe insisted on helping him scrub his back, and seeing her sincerity, he didn't refuse.

Accepting help from others is sometimes helping them in the process.

After washing away the blood and rainwater, Yuhe even helped Gao Wu comb his long hair. He changed into clean clothes and felt refreshed all over.

That's how it was in ancient times; while hardware was inferior, manpower was cheap. Yuhe was also trained, gentle, meticulous, and very considerate.

Although Yuhe was respectful to him in the past, there was always a certain distance between them.

After today's battle, Yuhe's tenderness towards him came from the bottom of her heart.

Subtle changes in a young girl's thoughts can evoke completely different feelings.

Although Gao Wu didn't care much about these things, he still found them quite useful.

He reviewed the entire battle, focusing primarily on Ye Qingfeng's Sun-Shooting Bow.

Chi Na and Ma Changhe are both purely fierce and powerful. They have great natural talent, but there is not much to learn in terms of martial arts skills.

Rosanne's swordsmanship is interesting, but it doesn't suit his style, and it's not worth wasting his energy on.

Ye Qingfeng's Sun-Shooting Bow Technique is unique and exquisite, and is well worth studying.

The final arrow, powered by true qi, was even more exquisite. However, since he could see the invisible arrow of true qi, this secret technique posed no threat to him.

After a fierce battle, Gao Wu felt he had gained a great deal. However, the Sun-Shooting Archery Technique relied heavily on the Sun-Shooting Bow; he would ask Tie Zhen for one tomorrow to study it further…

Gao Wu slept soundly in his room, while Blackwater City was unusually lively.

Tie Mu stormed into the military camp, killed the deputy envoy sent by the military governor, and also killed several high-ranking officers who had defected to the military governor, thus regaining control of three thousand elite soldiers.

Then, a purge and retaliation were carried out overnight. Several powerful families involved in the affair were completely eradicated.

To be honest, Tie Mu didn't have any solid evidence, but he was almost killed, so he didn't care about anything else.

By the time the sun rose the next day, seven large families had already been wiped out.

When a large family perishes, new people naturally emerge to benefit from it and rise to power.

After this test, the traitors in the Tie family were dealt with, and the loyal and capable members also stood out.

Tie Mu took the opportunity to resolve the internal troubles, which he considered a good thing.

Back home, Tie Zhen came to find Tie Mu and said that Gao Wu wanted to see the Sun-Shooting Bow.

If it were any other weapon, Tie Zhen would have made the decision herself. However, for the Tie family, a divine bow was still very important, and she needed to consult her elder brother.

"If Mr. Gao wants it, just give it to him. There's no need to overthink it."

Tie Mu said to Tie Zhen in a serious tone, "We have resolved the internal troubles, but there is still the military governor Tian Chengji above us. This man is treacherous and ruthless, and he holds great power. After this falling out, things will be difficult for us."

"To put it bluntly, we need a strong person like Mr. Gao to take charge right now."

He sighed as he spoke: "Mr. Gao also said last night that he will be going to the Central Plains soon. Alas, Mr. Gao has such unparalleled martial arts skills, yet he does not care about power and wealth, nor does he seek fame. He is truly like an immortal!"
"We have nothing to offer to keep you here, so we can only do our best to meet your needs and treat you well with all our heart..."

As Tie Mu spoke, he gave Tie Zhen a deep look. For some reason, Tie Zhen blushed and lowered her head, saying softly, "Don't worry, brother, I know what to do..."
