In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

He had initially thought that since they were just a few women, no matter how strong they were, they wouldn't know about his petty tricks.

But who knew that no one paid any attention to him? As soon as he was poisoned, Huang Rong caught him red-handed and used her finger-flicking technique to strike his acupoints, but she didn't use the Nine Yin Manual to seal them!

Even so, three days on the roof beam was enough for him to endure.

"Keep an eye on him, lest he break through his acupoints and fall headfirst to his death."

"Don't worry, Young Master Zhang!"

Xiaoyuer glared angrily, never expecting Zhang Xiaoshan to be so cunning.

After finishing a bowl of warm porridge, Zhang Xiaoshan, feeling quite nourished, headed to the hall, leaving the two of them staring at each other.

"Little Fish, you're quite lucky."

Young Master Zhang is a man of great stature; it's rare in the entire land for him to give you face.

Seeing the little fish's unconvinced expression, Black Spider naturally knew how mischievous the little guy was, so he slowly said:

"The Murong family was incredibly prestigious, holding a position in the martial arts world equivalent to that of the leader of the martial arts alliance."

Even so, they still made Ninth Miss Zhang's maid. You still don't understand the Zhang family's status?

Actually, ten years ago, the Zhang family was just beginning to rise to prominence...

Black Spider wanted to use the Zhang family's example to make Xiaoyuer understand the horror and danger of the martial arts world, but he undoubtedly led him directly down a new path...

····

"Uncle, farewell!"

"Take care, Young Master Zhang!"

Three more days passed, and Zhang Xiaoshan and the others were about to leave.

"Mother, Father, take care!"

"Jiu'er, you must take good care of yourself too."

Madam Murong noticed Murong Jiu's unusual behavior the next day at noon.

But looking at Murong Jiu's girlish demeanor and the happy smile in her eyes, one can understand Murong Jiu's choice.

From Murong Jiu's words, she had long sensed the deep love in him. Even as a maid, this was the path to happiness she had chosen.

As the carriage slowly drove away, Madam Murong, though reluctant, knew that a married daughter was like water spilled from a cup.

Besides, I don't need to worry about my daughter.

"Little Black, how is your friend doing?"

"Little Fish is resting quietly in the back mountain."

Thinking of the brat who dared to administer laxatives at his grand banquet, Murong Zhengde was furious but couldn't vent his anger.

After all, this kid comes from a prestigious family. It's pitiful that he was orphaned in the Valley of Villains from a young age, but he also learned the traits of the Ten Great Villains perfectly.

"After he recovers, take him away."

"Yes!"

Black Spider breathed a sigh of relief; he was really worried that Murong Zhengde would hold him accountable.

Watching the black spider leave, the black spider, with its good eyesight, realized that the little fish was simply too mischievous.

"Alright, don't be sad."

Xiao Jiu is doing very well, as you, her mother, have seen. She's only sixteen, yet her internal energy has already reached the pinnacle of mastery—a goal many dream of but can never achieve in their entire lives.

"Yes, Mother, Xiao Jiu made the right choice back then."

Not only did she inherit the Ghost Doctor's legacy, but her martial arts skills are also unfathomable. She's living a much better life than we imagined.

"I know, but... sigh!"

Not far away, a small head popped out; it was none other than Little Fish, who was resting quietly in the back hills.

Looking in the direction the Zhang family left, Xiaoyuer, after learning about the Zhang family's legend, developed a strong curiosity, especially about Ghost Street, a fun place where all sorts of strange and wonderful people mingled.

"Hongxiao, take out the dragon wings. I'm going to the Valley of Villains in the Starry Sea!"

"Starry Sea? Valley of Villains?"

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's destination, everyone immediately thought of that little rascal in the manor.

If it weren't for the other party's appearance, Zhang Xiaoshan might not have gone to that place.

"Husband, what are you doing there?"

"I need to find someone and learn a martial art!"

The Zhang family has many experts, but there isn't a single one in the Zhang mansion who can truly protect the household.

Juexin possesses unparalleled strength, and it's unknown when he will reach the eleventh level of the Golden Bell Shield, with a half-inch vulnerability remaining.

Needless to say, the River Fiends, even when they joined forces, were at most slightly stronger than Juexin.

Such bodyguards were so powerful that even an emperor might not have been able to match them, but Zhang Xiaoshan still felt it wasn't enough.

Therefore, the moment Zhang Xiaoshan saw Xiaoyuer, he thought of a miraculous skill—

The Divine Skill of the Wedding Dress!

The most domineering aspect of this Wedding Dress Divine Skill is the pain involved in its cultivation.

However, Juexin was able to cultivate the Golden Bell Shield to the tenth level, and since he was also a high-ranking Buddhist monk, it was not a problem for him to cultivate the Wedding Dress Divine Skill to seventy or eighty percent.

Then, after abandoning the training and starting over, even if Juexin doesn't break through to the Grandmaster level, he can at least reach the pinnacle of unparalleled skill, similar to the ninth level of the Nine Yin Manual and the perfected state of the Sunflower Manual (Li Zhao).

They might even gradually accumulate internal energy, and in the future, they might have the opportunity to become a Grandmaster of Buddhism.

As for the Golden Bell Shield? That's not a problem either.

This is the Vajra Divine Skill of Buddhism. Even if the weak point is broken and the hard skill dissipates, Juexin will not be powerless to fight back.

It's just a period of weakness.

Even if it can be rebuilt, at least the strength of a top-tier master remains. It's not a 'low-level' hard skill like Iron Shirt; if its weak point is breached, death is certain.

Therefore, if Juexin's wedding dress divine skill is fully mastered, not to mention pushing the Golden Bell Shield to the eleventh level, at least the breaking of the Golden Bell Shield will not have any effect on him.

"My husband is going to find Yan Nantian!"

Huang Rong's bright eyes darted around, and she immediately guessed who Zhang Xiaoshan was looking for.

"My daughter is so clever!"

Looking at the stunningly beautiful Huang Rong before him, Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but gently pinch her nose.

He's clever, but sometimes he's also reckless.

Immediately, Zhang Xiaoshan spread a pair of flying fish-dragon wings on the roof of the car and took off into the air.

With Zhang Xiaoshan's current immense internal strength, without the Dragon Ball's blessing, it would take him two days to travel tens of thousands of miles to the Starry Sea, even if he rode the wind.

But things are different now. With the Dragon Ball's supersonic speed, it only takes half a day to get there.

Including the time lost due to other business, it will only take two days and one night to return to Yi.

Chapter 303 The Mysterious Elderly Couple Finally Meets Yan Nantian

At the foot of Kunlun Mountain lies Xingxiu Sea!

This is not the name of a power, but a plain at the source of the Yellow River, a paradise where spring lasts all year round.

Here, the forces at play are complex, and various powerful martial arts factions roam the surrounding area.

Examples include the Palace of Bliss where jade peaches grow, the Valley of Villains where the Ten Great Evils reside, and Ding Chunqiu of the Starry Constellation Sect…

Today, however, a master wearing a golden Buddha mask has broken in.

The plains are inhabited by many ethnic minority tribes, and Zhang Xiaoshan, a strange man wearing a golden mask and a black robe, is hard not to attract attention.

In fact, the Golden-Faced Buddha had been here before in his previous capacity.

"Who can speak Chinese?"

The bustling tavern was a place where people from all walks of life were never short of attention.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan chose to ask someone for directions here, and with a wave of his hand, a gold ingot weighing at least ten taels appeared before everyone's eyes.

This scene also made everyone in the tavern look at Zhang Xiaoshan with greed.

gold!

"I will, I will..."

At this moment, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in purple, walked over.

With her petite and delicate figure, exquisite features, and fair skin like jade, especially her pair of large, expressive eyes that seem to speak volumes, she is playful and adorable, instantly winning people's hearts.

However, the moment those present saw the girl, their pupils contracted slightly, revealing a hint of apprehension.

This is a little witch!

"Just one question: Where is the Valley of Villains? Tell me, and this gold is yours."

"If you're going to be cunning, you must be a disciple of the Starry Constellation Sect. In that case, I wouldn't mind eliminating the demons and protecting the righteous path, and wiping out the Starry Constellation Sect!"

When Xiao Zi heard Zhang Xiaoshan merely ask about the direction of Evil Valley, she immediately offered 057 taels of gold.

Just as she was about to hatch a plan, Zhang Xiaoshan saw right through her scheme.

And even the fact that she was a disciple of the Starry Sky Sect was known!

"Since you know that I am a disciple of the Xingxiu Sect, how dare you speak so arrogantly?"

Aren't you afraid I'll tell my master?

"Ding Chunqiu? Let alone a second-generation disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, even if the three elders of the Xiaoyao Sect came, would I take them seriously?"

"Disciples of the Free and Unfettered Sect? The Three Elders of the Free and Unfettered Sect?"

"Did you hear me clearly? I am a disciple of the Starry Constellation Sect!"

"Ha ha ha ha···"

Suddenly, a long laugh rang out, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound. They saw an elderly couple eating and drinking, seemingly having heard a joke.

Summer insects cannot speak of ice!

This is what she saw in her eyes at that moment.

"Little girl, Ding Chunqiu is a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, and he is a disciple of Wuyazi, the sect leader of the Xiaoyao Sect!"

"Are those old fogies, the Three Elders of the Carefree Sect, still alive? Weren't they supposed to have disappeared from the martial world for thirty years, except for the one from Tianshan who still commands respect?"

The old woman also looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with curiosity. She didn't expect that Zhang Xiaoshan, who had only been in the martial arts world for ten years, would know so much about the strange and secret stories of the martial arts world.

"This junior has seen two of their true forms in Lin'an Prefecture!"

"Is that so? The Golden-Faced Buddha is indeed worthy of his name. I never expected to have the chance to meet this senior who has been missing for at least thirty years."

"I've always been lucky, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to meet two senior figures here!"

"Is that so? Ghost Shadow!"

The old woman suddenly cried out, and saw a ghostly black shadow rushing towards Zhang Xiaoshan from the opposite side.

　(bjca) Moreover, the sword light was sharp and fierce, and the killing intent was immediately revealed!

But Zhang Xiaoshan merely flicked his wrist, and an extremely cold and yin palm force, like a cold wind brushing against one's face, sent a chill down one's spine.

Immediately, everyone saw a short sword stop three inches in front of Zhang Xiaoshan's eyebrow.

The one wielding the short sword was none other than the mysterious old man who had been wearing a cloak earlier.

At this moment, if the old man were to step forward and deliver the blow, Zhang Xiaoshan would surely be splattered with blood on the spot. Moreover, the ghostly speed and the extremely cold sword aura made the legs of those around who had some martial arts skills tremble.

I never expected to see such a terrifying martial arts master here.

"Old ghost!"

The old woman's expression turned worried the moment she suddenly jumped up; her eyesight was unmatched by most.

She knew that it wasn't Ghost Shadow who subdued the Golden-Faced Buddha, but rather that someone had subdued her husband with a casual palm strike.
