Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 167: Control!

This is somewhat different from Dugu Nong's statement.

According to Fatty, the four gangs of Maizhou were under the protection of Chen E, the Cat, and were considered big shots who controlled the area.

Pei Xia immediately retorted, "Doesn't Chen E of the Cat Gang in Maizhou show up frequently?"

"Often? Who said often?"

Han Youzhi glared at him: "According to the records of the Holy Palace before I left, Chen E last appeared six years ago. As for that Cat Gang, it was just a tiger skin banner that the four gangs of Cao, Gai, Nong, and Wa had painstakingly set up."

This explanation was indeed more detailed than what Dugu Nong had heard from the Chronic Illness Observatory; he truly lived up to his reputation as the former Master of the White Robes.

"So, the Cat Clan, this secluded sect, is actually just Chen E by himself?"

"correct."

With a natural expression, Han Youzhi reached out and picked up the teapot on the table to pour himself a cup of tea: "The Worldly Sect is a general term. Among them, the only one that can be properly considered a sect is Xie Fujian."

Pei Xia frowned slightly: "Explain in detail."

"It cannot be explained in detail."

"why?"

"Because we don't know either."

Han Youzhi took a sip of water and calmly stated without any shame: "All we know is that the Xie Fu Jian sect is a sect with a clear lineage and organization. The number of members should be very small, but each one is strangely strong. There are only three recorded instances of members of the Xie Fu Jian sect making a move."

Which three times?

"Shuyang Canal, Wuding Mountain in the West Sea, and Longding in Qinzhou."

These sound like three place names.

Han Youzhi blinked: "One sword opened the canal, another sword cleaved the mountaintop, and another sword cut off the Qin State Dragon Cauldron twenty years ago. But I heard that sword was used by Xie Fujian to kill him."

A single sword can cleave the canal?

Damn it, the Shuyang Canal connects two prefectures, and you're telling me it was opened with a sword?
"According to the assessment of the Palace of the Holy Master, these three swords were wielded by three different people. The sword from the Shuyang Canal is clearly far stronger than the latter two, but judging from the traces, they do indeed come from the same source. This is why we believe that the Xie Fu Sword has a complete lineage."

Pei Xia uses ancient martial arts methods and cultivates powerful sword energy. He is confident that he can split a mountain with a single sword strike if he is in his prime.

However, the scale of the Shuyang Canal is really not something that could be accomplished by human power.

“It feels a bit eerie,” he said.

Han Youzhi agreed, saying, "Everyone thinks it's weird."

"There's even less information about the Dead Sea Abyss. It's speculated that they mainly operate in Zhenhai Prefecture, considering the existence of the Yinhua Sea..."

Han Youzhi didn't say anything more.

Pei Xia fell silent for a moment.

Beneath the Sea of ​​Flowers lies the Emperor's Wife, a complete calamity sealed away, just like Ru Tao of the Liancheng Fire Vein.

If the Dead Sea Abyss is related to the Emperor's wife, then it is indeed not worth investigating further.

"As for the Heavenly Pavilion of Proving the Dao, it is more of a legend in the martial arts world. It is said to be a blessing from the immortals above the nine heavens, which can descend a long staircase to lead directly to the Heavenly Pavilion. It is said that as long as you can climb the staircase, you can break through the barrier of proving the Dao and break through the barrier of the Heavenly Consciousness Realm... I don't know if it is true or not, but I have never seen it."

Well, it turns out that this so-called secluded sect doesn't actually have any legitimate sect at all.

The Cat Gang is Chen E himself, the Slanted Sword can barely be considered a sect, the Dead Sea Abyss seems to be some kind of secret society, and as for the Proving Heaven Pavilion, it sounds like some kind of opportunity?
"And what about the Jade Palace in the heavens?"

When Pei Xia spoke, Han Youzhi was drinking water from her cup.

She took an unusually long time to drink that sip of water.

After a long pause, she put down her cup, her expression hesitant, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she shook her head and said, "I don't know. Few people in the Palace of the Holy Master mention it." Her other hand was placed on her waist under the table, and the two hot jade breasts were burning her soft skin through the thin fabric.

She originally came to discuss this matter with Pei Xia.

The jade pendant was burning hot; she had heard people in the Jade Palace mention this before, which indicated that someone else in a certain area possessed the same jade pendant.

Han Youzhi knew perfectly well what these two small jade pieces could be used for.

If the other jade holder harbors malicious intent and harms himself, that's one thing, but if it affects Pei Xia... oh, Pei Xia doesn't care.

Han Youzhi truly couldn't bear to see children like Lu Li suffer!
But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, Han Youzhi didn't dare to speak.

She has already left the Palace of the Holy Master. As a rogue cultivator, she possesses both martial arts transformation and the cultivation level of a fifth-level Su Shi (a type of martial arts master). It seems that she shouldn't have too much trouble.

But in reality, her situation wasn't much better than Huangfude's.

Master Su can refine pills and craft weapons, but he can't cook without rice. Although his cultivation level is high, he is also more likely to be suspected by others. Otherwise, why would he have built a hut alone in the mountains?
The reason Han Youzhi seems to be doing well all this time is, in reality, because he has a luxurious mansion to rely on.

This is her biggest, and only, trump card right now.

It took a lot of courage for her to expose herself to Pei Xia.

After all, Pei Xia had shown a cruel and tyrannical side in the underground palace not long ago, and the snake keeper's restriction was still on her body. If Pei Xia knew the secret, she could use the restriction to force her to hand over Yu Qiong.

At that point, I would truly be like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Seeing that her expression was off, Pei Xia couldn't help but ask, "You don't seem to know."

Han Youzhi looked up at him and said, "You've misunderstood. I just... have something else on my mind."

"Hehe, is Han Baiyi trying to fool a child? We're all seasoned travelers in the martial world; we need to be able to read people's expressions and read their moods, don't you think?"

As Pei Xia spoke, she reached out and placed her hand on the table, leaning half her body forward to stare at her face.

Tsk, this kid, why does he look like he's going to dig deeper into the matter?

Han Youzhi racked her brains, trying to find an excuse that she could use to get away with it.

Just then, Lu Li, who was peeking from the inner room, suddenly shouted, "What could a widow looking for a lone man so late at night? I bet you like our Pei Xia!"

The room fell silent immediately after he said that.

Because they were so close, Han Youzhi quickly noticed a tremor in Pei Xia's eyes.

A thought flashed through her mind: This kid might not be as steady and experienced in this regard as he seems.

She immediately puffed out her chest, put on a serious face, and said, "Yes, actually I like you. I was going to confess my feelings to you today."

Pei Xia stared at her with wide eyes, and Han Youzhi met his gaze without backing down.

After a long silence, Pei Xia slowly sat back down in her chair, her expression grave. "Old Han," she said, "I think our situation isn't quite right yet..."

"you're right!"

Han Youzhi clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I was presumptuous. I suddenly realized that maybe I don't like you that much. Let's pretend today never happened. Goodbye!"

After saying that, Han Youzhi turned and ran away.

Pei Xia's mouth hung open as he spoke, staring blankly at the door where the beauty had already left.

Pear clicked her tongue as she walked out of the inner room. She looked at the doorway first, then at Pei Xia, and said with exasperation, "You couldn't seize the opportunity. With such a big butt, she's definitely easier to give birth to than Sister Xu."

Pei Xia didn't answer for a while before saying, "So, does this mean... I dumped her, or she dumped me?"
