Myriad Immortals

"Lord Duan, please feel free to stay here."

Inside the Flying Eagle Martial Arts School.

As the host of the place, Qian Hong personally came out to greet Duan Wen and his companion after hearing the news.

Firstly, my junior brother Zhong Xuan is from the Qinghe Governor's Office, so I have to give him face.

Secondly, the fact that officials from the Qinghe Governor's Office were willing to come to his Flying Eagle Martial Arts School was itself a great honor.

"Then thank you very much, Master Qian."

Duan Wen smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

As the river patrol commissioner, he often needed to rely on local江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world) forces when he went out on business, but they usually didn't have the good temper he has now.

The reason I'm being a bit more polite today is naturally because of Zhong Xuan, who will be my colleague in the future.

Qian Hong had already heard the gist of the matter from Zhong Xuan, so he asked, "Brother Duan just now mentioned a vicious python in the Baisha River?"

"That's right."

Duan Wen nodded: "Speaking of which, I was just about to ask Master Qian if he had heard of the evil python?"

Qian Hong frowned slightly: "I've lived in Baisha County for decades and have never heard of this before. Could it be that you only recently came to Baisha territory?"

Zhong Xuan stood aside and listened.

Although he is the most senior, he may know more about other mundane matters than his senior brother Qian Hong.

However, the matter of demonic beasts involves too high a level, and no one is qualified to come into contact with them. They would rather avoid them than deal with them.

My purpose in coming to Flying Eagle Martial Arts School was to ask my senior brother for advice.

"This matter seems rather strange."

Duan Wen pondered for a moment.

"Demon beasts are born and raised in nature, and under normal circumstances they will not easily leave their habitat. I'm afraid something has attracted them, or they have been driven here. I'm afraid they really want to cause trouble."

"Brother Zhong, the brothers from the 18th Battalion probably won't arrive for a few more days."

"I plan to go to the county government office to check the local chronicles and see if there are any clues."

Zhong Xuan: "Brother Duan, I'm fairly familiar with Magistrate Zhou. Would you like me to come along?"

Duan Wen shook his head: "No need, brother. You're a local. Magistrate Zhou is, after all, the local official."

Investigating can offend people.

As a member of the Qinghe Governor's Office, he dared to investigate even the government office.

With this black python robe, no one dared to refuse.

However, the Nanzhen River Administration had a rule: they would not investigate cases within the same county, in order to avoid incurring the wrath of local officials.

"it is good."

Zhong Xuan nodded.

Duan Wen was a decisive person, and he immediately led his young subordinates to the Baisha County Government Office.

Qian Hong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Junior brother, it seems things haven't been very peaceful lately."

Zhong Xuan hummed in agreement:

"Senior brother, about the martial arts competition..."

Qian Hong: "Dan Yun has already issued a challenge, and Shi Fengsha has accepted it in three days."

"Martial arts are forged through battle; these two probably also harbor the idea of ​​sharpening their swords."

Warriors grow the fastest on the battlefield.

It is precisely because there are many opportunities to fight.

In the face of life and death, the speed of improvement in martial arts far surpasses that of closed-door training, especially before breaking through the three major training stages.

Zhong Xuan also knew.

It's not just about craving stability.

He possesses the destiny of constant renewal, so as long as he lives long enough, he will naturally be strong enough, and there is absolutely no need for him to take too many risks.

As a scholar who has passed the imperial examination, even if he goes to the Qinghe Governor's Office, he will most likely be a civil official, without having to fight and kill every day.

Zhong Xuan: "Senior brother, you must be extra careful."

"Um."

Qian Hong nodded: "Junior brother, don't worry. A month ago, I had a feeling while practicing my skills, and my martial arts have improved again. With Dan Yun joining forces, Shi Fengsha is no match for us, and we should be able to kill him."

As expected, holding meetings is the most powerful form of open strategy.

The calculations of a master are simple and unpretentious.

Zhong Xuan thought to himself.

Although Qian Hong and Dan Yun's actions were unethical, they were indeed very effective.

If Shi Fengsha could be killed, his potential danger would be reduced even further.

......

......

Langzi Bay.

It was the dry season, and large areas of riverbank were exposed outside the barbican.

"Brother, Dan Yun is a treacherous man. I'm afraid he has ulterior motives for challenging me to a duel tomorrow."

Lei Shan, the deputy leader of the Sha Gang, spoke in a deep voice.

"It's alright."

Shi Fengsha waved his hand dismissively.

Since the death of his son, he seemed to have aged considerably, his hair turned completely white, yet his aura became increasingly profound.

Seeing that Shi Fengsha already had a plan, Lei Shan's eyes flashed with resentment.

The Sha Gang is not what it used to be.

Qian Hong and Dan Yun divided up all the properties in the city.

Even government officials have repeatedly targeted them.

They used to be successful, but now they feel increasingly frustrated.

"Brother, why don't we rebel?"

Lei Shan gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that Snake Second Brother is doing very well in the south. If we brothers go there, we might all become kings."

Shi Fengsha gave Lei Shan a cold look.

"Big brother...I..."

Lei Shan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and was so intimidated by Qian Hong's imposing aura that he had to retreat repeatedly.

But he was overjoyed.

"Big Brother has made further progress; he's probably not far from reaching the top three ranks!"

Lei Shan immediately understood his elder brother's good intentions, chuckled, and turned to run out of the hall.

soon.

Only Shi Fengsha remained in the lobby.

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes:

"Since you won't let me live in peace, then neither of us should have an easy life."

......

......

"Senior brother, please be careful."

Zhong Xuan looked at Qian Hong and Zheng Yue and spoke.

"rest assured."

Qian Hong smiled slightly.

Today is the day that Dan Yun and Shi Fengsha agreed to fight. As agreed, he will hide in Langzi Bay and wait to strike.

From then on.

The knife broke.

Baisha County was left with only one palm strike and one capture.

Zhong Xuan didn't say anything about danger or not to go.

The leading forces in Baisha County have changed hands several times, and each time it has been a peaceful and gentle process.

All of these will involve bloodshed.

It was precisely because it was important that Zheng Yue insisted on going along.

As for Zhong Xuan, he was left to oversee things at the martial arts school.

He was at a crucial moment in Houguan's life.

Even if they wanted to help, Qian Hong and Zheng Yue would stop them.

Every family hopes that someone will become an official.

Why?

It wasn't just because the imperial court held great power, but also because it served as a bottom line for the continuation of a clan or faction, preventing its complete extinction.

Zhong Xuan is the most important asset of the Flying Eagle Martial Arts School; we must not act rashly against him.

Qian Hong and Zheng Yue left the Flying Eagle Martial Arts School and headed towards Langzi Bay.

Zhong Xuan returned to his room in the backyard of the shop and began to meditate on the flying eagle painting.

Since Duan and Wen went to the county government office, they seem to have found some clues.

He has been reviewing case files and has not returned.

Zhong Xuan then enjoyed many more days of leisure.

These days my mental and inner strength have improved, and I can now visualize for a full quarter of an hour.

Before long, he was able to comprehend the fifth move of the Flying Eagle Nine Strikes, a progress that can be described as rapid.

Not only that.

Because of the dragon bone in his body, he was even able to train twice a day.

"Senior Brother Zheng told us to take the Flying Eagle Map with us after we take office..."

Before we knew it.

Then it was noon.

Zhong Xuan, who was practicing his breathing technique, suddenly opened his eyes, staring in the direction of Langzi Bay, a look of shock flashing in his pupils:

"Dragon-like demonic energy?!"

at the same time.

The sound of swords clashing rang out from the shop in the backyard of the martial arts school.
