I am a high-level martial arts master.

On a hillside ten miles from Yancheng.

The Poison Wolf Gang's carriage was waiting quietly here, while an elder with a mid-stage Acquired Realm cultivation level looked out from the hillside.

"Strange, why aren't they here yet?" Deng Yi, the acquired elder of the Poison Wolf Gang, muttered to himself.

According to the gang leader, Yang Shichang from the Azure Dragon Gang should have come to meet him after dealing with Ye Li.

If Zou Tu hadn't said it himself, he wouldn't have believed it so easily—that Poison Wolf had actually infiltrated an elder-level spy into the Azure Dragon Gang.

But now, he has been waiting on this earthen slope for a whole day, and there is not a single person there!

Where did Master Yang go?

The entire city of Yan is surrounded by water on three sides. If you want to get in or out, this is the only land route.

In the silence, Deng Yi suddenly saw a Body Tempering Warrior carrying a simple bundle run past him from the direction of Yan City. With his astonishing eyesight, Deng Yi also saw that the Body Tempering Warrior was stuffing Body Tempering Pills into his mouth as he ran.

Who's so kind as to use body-tempering pills to replenish their stamina while traveling? That's incredibly extravagant. Where did this rich person come from?

Filled with curiosity, Deng Yi moved swiftly and blocked the path of the martial artist, asking, "Brother, where are you going?"

Meng Ke tightened his grip on the bundle in his arms, becoming wary, and hesitated to answer.

However, the opponent's true energy surged as they attacked, and it was difficult to refuse when a martial artist with acquired skills approached them.

Remembering what the person who entrusted him said, Meng Kexun said calmly, "The man in the city will die the day after tomorrow. He ordered me to travel day and night to inform the eldest son of Fuliang City of his death and to return before the seventh day after his death."

The so-called Fuliang City is located at the end of this official road, further away than Guangming.

As they spoke, Meng Kexun revealed a corner of the letter, dispelling Deng Yi's doubts. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have bothered you, young brother. Please forgive me and hurry on your way."

Seeing Deng Yi step aside, Meng Kexun silently ran towards Guangming.

This order alone has a deposit of two hundred taels, it's a big job, we have to get there quickly.

Watching Meng Kexun leave, Deng Yi's brow remained furrowed.

After waiting for half a day at the top of the slope, and with nightfall approaching, there was still no news of Yang Shichang.

An ominous premonition weighed on his heart. Helpless, Deng Yi could only give the order with a gloomy face: "Enter the city! Find a place to settle down." Because the waiting time was too long, it was already evening when the Poison Wolf Gang arrived. They found an inn to rest at random.

On the second day

"What did you say?! Ye Li has arrived in Yan City!!!"

Deng Yi stared wide-eyed at his subordinate's report, completely dumbfounded.

As promised, Master Yang would often bring Ye Li to see him.

The servant who reported the news looked strangely at the shocked Deng Yi, not understanding why he was so surprised, but still replied:

"That's right! Ye Li arrived safely in Yan City yesterday and is currently resting at the post station."

But then he chuckled and said, "Elder Deng, I have some more good news to report!"

"What good news?" A glimmer of hope rose in Deng Yi's heart.

"According to rumors, Ye Li was robbed by Acquired Realm martial artists on his way here, resulting in Du Yuanzhou, who was traveling with him, being seriously injured, and the Acquired Realm elder who was escorting him also dying." "The Acquired Realm elder who was traveling with him died!!!" Deng Yi was shocked by the news again.

"That's right, I heard that Ye Li has already sent people to collect the caravan's corpses. Now that the Azure Dragon Gang has rid itself of a menace, it's a great thing for us Poison Wolf!" the subordinate reported happily.

"Fuck your mother!"

Seeing his subordinates who were completely oblivious and still grinning foolishly, Deng Yi was so angry that his lips were trembling, and he slapped them hard across the face.

"Snap!" A crisp sound.

Before the subordinate could even scream, he was sent flying into the air by the slap, crashing heavily into the wall. Half of his cheek swelled up instantly, resembling a pig's head, and teeth mixed with blood spurted out.

He curled up on the ground, looking at the enraged Deng Yi in horror, completely bewildered as to why he had been beaten.

"Useless! Idiot! Those who died were our men!"

Deng Yi roared inwardly, the enormous loss and sense of defeat almost making him vomit blood.

He suddenly remembered the martial artist who used the Body Tempering Pill to travel yesterday, and that so-called "letter of death"!

He thought of the martial artist who used the Body Tempering Pill to travel yesterday.

"That letter... Guangming... Fuliang City is a fake, Guangming is the real one! That beast Ye Li!"

Deng Yi instantly understood the key point, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

He instinctively wanted to rush out of the inn to chase after him, but he stopped abruptly as soon as he moved.

A whole night has passed!

The body-tempering martial artist, like a frightened bird, used body-tempering pills to replenish his strength, and by now he had probably already run more than a hundred miles away.

The main road of Yan City is easily accessible in all directions. If the other party changes direction slightly along the way, even with his acquired cultivation, he will be like looking for a needle in a haystack and will have no chance to catch up! Guangming City, Canglong Gang headquarters.

Inside the study, gang leader Zheng Tong was handling gang affairs, but his thoughts involuntarily drifted to his disciples far away in Yan City.

"Judging by the time, my disciples should have settled down in Yan City by now, right?" Zheng Tong put down his pen and rubbed his temples.

Strangely enough, ever since Ye Li left Guangming, he felt that his mind had become much clearer.

The vague and inexplicable feeling that had been lingering in my mind had quietly dissipated like morning mist, and my thoughts had become clearer and more transparent than ever before.

Zheng Tong, who was completely unaware that he had been secretly influenced by Yang Shichang for several years, felt a strange sense of doubt.

It's also thanks to the fact that only those who understand the effects of the [Confused and Bewildered] entry can maximize its efficiency.

In addition, Zheng Tong's skills were truly profound, so Yang Shichang's thoughts had only been slightly altered over the years, and no major problems had arisen. Meanwhile, Meng Kexun, despite extreme fatigue, had been running at full speed for two days and one night.

Relying on his fully tempered physique and the enhancement from the Body Tempering Pill, he covered the distance the caravan would have covered in ten days in such a short time. With his blood surging, he dared not delay and quickly rushed to the entrance of Guangming with the envelope in his hand.

Following Ye Li's instructions, Meng Kexun took out the envelope, opened it, and after briefly glancing through it, was deeply shocked by its contents:

"Are the local gangs in Guangming really that brutal?"

But despite the shock, professional ethics remained.

Anyway, he wasn't from Guangming, so he wasn't afraid of any gang retaliation. Money was more important; he could just take the money and walk away.

Following the instructions in the letter, Meng Kexun did not go to the west and north of the city, which were controlled by the poisonous wolves, but instead went around to the east of the city.

In Guangming East City, under a clear blue sky, the city was bustling with activity, with caravans and ordinary people coming and going in an endless stream.

But then a martial artist walked to the city gate and took a deep breath in front of the guards, civilians, merchants, and vendors.

next moment!

A tremendous shout echoed throughout the entire Guangming city gate:

"Du Yuanzhou, the disciple of the Lord of Guangming City, was ambushed by the Poison Wolf Gang!!!"

"Azure Dragon Ye Li risked his life to rescue him!!!"

"The city lord's beloved disciple was seriously injured and fell into a coma in Yan City, but his life is not in danger at present."

"To prevent the Poison Wolf Gang from causing harm, Lord Guangming, please go to Yan City for rescue immediately!!!"

The people of Guangming East City: Huh? ???
