With that, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong left the alley together.

Leon shook his head. His appearance had changed many things. If the two protagonists hadn't had the same opportunities as in the original story, first obtaining the Longevity Formula and then the He Shi Bi jade to cleanse their marrow and meridians,

In the end, they obtained some of the energy from the Evil Emperor's Relic, but it was impossible for them to achieve the same level of success as in the original story. However, the money they received was enough for them to live a comfortable life.

As for where Leon's gold came from, that's simple. It came from the golden city on Skypiea in One Piece. Gilgamesh uploaded a lot of it back then, and Leon kept some of it.

"I've finally obtained the Longevity Manual. The remaining two items are the He Shi Bi Jade and the Evil Emperor's Relic. It's definitely better to be familiar with the plot."

Looking at the Longevity Mantra in his hand, Leon couldn't help but sigh. Although the system had issued a mission this time...

However, to obtain the Longevity Manual, the He Shi Bi Jade, and the Evil Emperor's Relic, apart from the Longevity Manual, the other two are not so easy to get their hands on.

Take the He Shi Bi jade for example. If Leon is not mistaken, it should be kept in a secret room made of pure copper in the Jing Nian Zen Temple, guarded by Liao Kong himself. Who is Liao Kong?

Having practiced silent meditation for decades, he has regained his youth and his cultivation is unfathomable. In addition, the He Shi Bi jade has a special effect on influencing a person's true energy, so Liao Kong is considered a remarkable figure.

Meanwhile, the relic of the Evil Emperor was lying quietly in Yang Gong's treasure vault under the Yuema Bridge in Luoyang City.

What is the Evil Emperor's Relic?

Before their deaths, each successive leader of the Evil Extreme Sect poured their life essence into this relic. It can be said that the Evil Emperor's Relic is the culmination of the power and skill of all the successive leaders of the Evil Extreme Sect.

It is also an essential item for cultivating the legendary "Demon Seed Cultivation Technique of the Dao Heart," and the six sects of the Demonic Sect are eyeing it covetously.

If they find out that Leon has obtained this item, he will definitely face fierce opposition from the six factions of the Demonic Sect, and may even be completely wiped out.

But is Leon afraid?

Obviously not. Leon felt that apart from Xiang Yutian, who he could possibly fight, there wasn't any other character he could take seriously.

After all, one is magic and the other is internal energy cultivation, so it's difficult to compare the two.

Moreover, magic generally has the advantage.

"What are you two doing back here again?"

As soon as Leon stepped out of the alley, he saw two familiar figures running towards him.

It was Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. At this moment, their faces were full of anxiety and panic, and Leon couldn't help but shout to stop them.

"Big...Big Brother, run! There are people outside...someone is looking for us...saying they want...to retrieve something,"

Kou Zhong said breathlessly, placing one hand on Xu Ziling's shoulder.

Judging from their pale faces and clothes that looked as if they had been pulled out of the water, one could tell how fierce their escape had been.

"Then why did you two run this way to me? Did you want me to help you?"

Leon sized up the two men. To be honest, he was truly impressed by Kou and Xu's resourcefulness. Upon learning that they were being hunted, their first reaction was to come to Leon, a man who seemed to be of extraordinary status.

"Well... well, my brothers and I saw those people were coming on strong, and we just wanted to inform you, our eldest brother, so..."

Kou Zhong rubbed his hands together sheepishly, then leaned close to Leon with a grin and said,

"Brother, there are too many of them, let's run!"

"Run? Why run?"

Leon crossed his arms and laughed. He had been looking for someone to challenge, and now someone had conveniently delivered himself to his doorstep.

"Oh no...you're not running away? Oh no, Young Master Ling, let's go first, otherwise we won't even be able to hide when they come!"

Seeing that Leon remained unmoved, Kou Zhong secretly groaned. He had originally planned to take Leon, a skilled fighter, with him and use the opportunity to escape.

But Leon's reaction was unexpected. Now he could only pray that the pursuers wouldn't find them so quickly, so that he and Xu Ziling could find a place to hide.

It's a pity that God didn't want it.

"Woof woof,"

Several barks came from this direction, followed by a series of footsteps. Clearly, these people had used hunting dogs to find Kou Zhong and his group.

Judging from the footsteps, they had clearly arrived nearby. There was only one alleyway, but it was a dead end.

Thinking of this, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, hoping that Leon could hold off the pursuers for them.

"Da da, da da,"

The footsteps grew closer, and Kou Zhong felt his palms were drenched in cold sweat. He turned to look at Xu Ziling and saw that he also looked anxious.

Looking at Leon again, he found that he was actually... actually smiling. If it weren't for the pursuers approaching and Kou Zhong's belief that he couldn't beat Leon, he would have really wanted to go up and ask Leon if he was an idiot.

"Kid, be smart and hand over the stuff, and I'll spare your life, only cutting off the hand that shouldn't have taken it!"

About twenty burly men, each wielding a weapon and with a cold expression, approached the three. Upon seeing them, the leader stepped forward, raised his long sword, and grinned menacingly at Kou Zhong.

"laugh,"

A sudden sound rang out, leaving everyone somewhat bewildered.

The burly man who had spoken earlier was still pointing his knife at Kou Zhong and the others. One of the men beside him, growing impatient, stepped forward and nudged him.

"Hey, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take that kid down."

"Pah,"

The only response he received was a loud thud; the burly man, pushed like a heavy sack, collapsed.

He fell straight to the ground, and on his forehead, there was a bloodstain about the thickness of a finger, from which a red and white substance was slowly oozing.

"Zhao Si, Zhao Si, damn it, who did it? Who did it?!"

The man then realized that his companion had been killed without his knowledge. Looking at his companion's unseeing, wide-eyed expression,

He was both angry and relieved. If Zhao Si hadn't spoken first, he might be the one lying on the ground right now.

"Go and inform Yuwen Huaji that the Longevity Formula is in my hands. If he wants it, let him come and get it himself!"

Leon then spoke, but what he said left everyone speechless with shock.

Who was Yuwen Huaji?

That was the chief imperial guard of Emperor Yang of Sui, the second most skilled fighter in the Yuwen clan, whose "Ice Profound Force" was unfathomable. Such a figure was not someone one could simply meet at will.

Moreover, what this person meant was that he had taken the "Longevity Formula." What is the Longevity Formula? It's something that the current emperor specifically requested. How dare he try to steal something from the emperor? Does he have a death wish?

In an instant, the way everyone looked at Leon changed; although they didn't know the extent of his martial arts skills,

Judging from his calm and composed demeanor, he was clearly no ordinary person. Moreover, he had killed someone without making a sound, so he was obviously not someone they could afford to offend.

"We will report your words to Lord Yuwen. May I ask your honorable name? This way, we will have an explanation for Lord Yuwen."

Among this group were some clever people. Seeing that Leon dared to "speak wildly," one of the men stepped out from the others, cupped his hands in greeting to Leon, and then instructed the others to lift up the corpse of the big man named Zhao Si from the ground.

“Tell Yuwen Huaji that my name is Leon.”

"Thank you, I'll take my leave now."

After the man learned Leon's name, he didn't waste any words and called the others to leave together.

"Phew, thank goodness, Young Master Ling. We never expected our luck to turn around and we'd run into such a formidable expert."

Kou Zhong winked at Xu Ziling and then gestured towards Leon with his lip.

Xu Ziling immediately understood. He and his brother had always suffered from the lack of a renowned master to guide them, which was why they had to secretly learn martial arts at the Shilong Dojo, hoping to one day make a name for themselves.

Having met Leon today and witnessed how easily he frightened away the pursuers, I have long admired Leon.

The two walked up to Leon, and disregarding the dust on the ground, they knelt down to pay their respects.

But before their knees even touched the ground, they felt as if something was dragging them down from below.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't kneel down anymore. When they looked up, they saw Leon staring at them with a cold expression.

"Hehehe, elder brother... no, no, great hero, we two brothers have extraordinary physiques, truly one in a million martial arts talents. How about you take us as your disciples?"

Kou Zhong smiled at Leon, praising himself and Xu Ziling as rare geniuses, without showing any embarrassment.

Leon merely glanced at him coldly and said softly:

"No, we won't accept it."

Leon's cold face showed no mercy as he spoke decisively, then walked towards a restaurant.

He completely ignored the two boys behind him.

The two boys looked at each other and could only sigh inwardly. However, Kou Zhong secretly made up his mind to make Leon teach them martial arts.

Leon smiled as he finished ordering a pot of tea.

"coming."

........

Yuwen Huaji sat in the main hall of the governor's mansion, drinking hot tea, accompanied by Yuchi Sheng, the governor of Yangzhou.

The two were not only old acquaintances, but their relationship was also extraordinary.

Before Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, he was a minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Later, after the death of Emperor Xuan of Zhou, Yuwen Yun, Yang Jian colluded with Zheng Yi, the Grand Master of the Palace Secretariat, and Liu Fang, the Grand Master of the Imperial Censorate, and on the grounds that the successor Yuwen Shan was too young, he forged an imperial edict to bring Yang Jian into the court to take control of the government.
