Tianlong: Starting with Mantuo Manor as fertilizer

Chapter 68 The Prince's Mansion

While others did not witness it, Zhu Danchen personally saw how Xuzhu revealed his ferocious nature and fought with Ye Erniang.

He sighed inwardly, "Shaolin enjoys a great reputation in the martial arts world, and it truly lives up to its name. Even a third-generation disciple has such skill."

Xu Zhu returned to normal, weeping silently in mourning.

Zhu Danchen stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Master, please accept my condolences."

Both Gu Ducheng and Chu Wanli have returned.

Only Fu Sigui continues to track Yun Zhonghe, hoping to find out Duan Yu's whereabouts.

The group of people were all dejected and felt guilty.

They've never suffered such a big setback since their debut.

There was a moment of silence.

Zhu Danchen said, "I will stay here and work with Brother Fu to find out where the Crown Prince is."

He glanced at Gu Ducheng and Chu Wanli.

"The two brothers should go and inform the Princess about this matter first, and then go back to the Prince to discuss countermeasures."

Gu and Chu nodded.

This time, we're not worried about Dao Baifeng staying inside the Jade Void Temple and refusing to come out.

After all, their biological son was lost.

Once this news reaches her ears, she will be extremely anxious and set off immediately.

Zhu Danchen then advised Xuzhu and Gu Ducheng to go to Dali first, but was refused.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the monk, he could only shake his head and sigh.

Zhong Ling looked around: "This place isn't far from my home! My father is very influential in the area. If I ask him for help, he'll definitely be able to find out where my third brother is!"

Losing Duan Yu threw Zhu Danchen into a panic. He didn't ask Zhong Ling a few more questions about who her father was, but simply clasped his hands in thanks.

In the Valley of Ten Thousand Calamities.

Yun Zhonghe and Yue Laosan looked around as Duan Yu, now stripped of his former glamour, sat on the chair. One rubbed his hands together, while the other sighed.

Yun Zhonghe said, "This girl is truly beautiful, it's a pity she's mute."

Duan Yu's speech acupoint had been released long ago, but he simply dared not speak.

Old Yue sighed, "Her skull protrudes so much, she'd be perfect for learning my South China Sea School's kung fu, it's a pity she's a girl! Hey, little girl, do you have an older or younger brother?"

Duan Yu's eyes darted around, but he didn't say a word.

Enraged at this, Yue Laosan shouted, "Dare to ignore me, Yue Laoer? I'll break your neck!"

Yun Zhonghe said irritably, "I've acupunctured her, how can she move?"

Yue Laosan slapped his forehead: "Oh, I see! I forgot!"

Ye Erniang coughed twice, wiping the blood from her mouth: "Third brother, even if she offended you, you can't touch her. The four guards risked their lives to protect her, which shows her noble status."

Yun Zhonghe nodded: "I've heard that Duan Zhengchun is a womanizer and a philanderer, just like me. This girl might be his daughter, some kind of princess."

Tan Qing circulated his qi and adjusted his breathing, his injuries had eased: "The Prince of Zhennan of Dali only has sons, no daughters. However, whether he has any illegitimate daughters is hard to say."

The blue cloth curtain was lifted, and the two entered the room.

One of them is Duan Yanqing, who uses a steel cane.

The other one is Zhong Wanchou, the master of Wanjie Valley.

As soon as Zhong Wanchou entered, he burst into laughter: "The Four Evils are indeed worthy of their reputation; they have already gained a great deal with just a slight move."

Duan Yanqing nodded, satisfied with the performance of his underlings, and tossed a bottle of healing medicine to Tan Qing: "Well done."

""

He was slightly surprised to see that Ye Erniang was also injured.

Duan Yanqing extended his steel staff, pointed it in the air, and a gentle internal force penetrated in, releasing Duan Yu's acupoints.

"Is your father Duan Zhengchun?"

Duan Yu nodded habitually, then quickly shook his head.

This behavior couldn't possibly be kept secret from the seasoned veterans inside.

Everyone was secretly delighted, convinced that the person in front of them must be Duan Zhengchun's illegitimate daughter.

Yun Zhonghe volunteered, "Boss, I know you have a grudge against the Duan family of Dali. Fourth Brother has always wanted to help you. Leave this girl to me, and I'll help you get revenge."

After a moment's thought, Duan Yanqing rejected his proposal.

"I have other plans. I've heard that Duan Zhengchun has a son named Duan Yu."

"Find a way to capture Duan Yu, lock him and his sister in a room, and drug them with aphrodisiacs. Then the Duan family will surely be disgraced."

Upon hearing this, Duan Yu was suddenly startled.

That's so vicious!

But the thought that he had been kidnapped and that the other party would never find another Duan Yu made him feel relieved.

Yun Zhonghe was outraged and exclaimed, "What's so vicious about this? What's the relationship between family members? Isn't this just letting that brat Duan Yu get away with it!"

Upon hearing this, the people inside the room were startled.

Everyone felt that Yun Zhonghe was completely disregarding moral principles, and ranking him fourth was truly a waste of his talent.

Only Duan Yanqing remained unmoved.

Zhong Wanchou observed this and secretly praised, "As expected of the number one villain in the world, he is indeed extremely cunning."

Little did he know that Duan Yanqing had suffered a severe injury years ago, resulting in facial paralysis.

In fact, he was also greatly shocked after hearing Yun Zhonghe's speech.

He then lamented that he, a well-educated prince of Dali, often felt out of place with the other three because he wasn't eccentric enough.

Duan Yanqing's martial arts skills far surpassed those of others, which naturally earned him prestige.

"Fourth brother, go to Dali City and see if you can find Duan Yu's whereabouts."

"Master Zhong, please deliver a letter to Duan Zhengchun and tell him that his daughter is in our hands."

Zhong Wanchou was overjoyed, agreed, went out to write a letter, and sent it by messenger.

With the matter settled, he was in high spirits and began practicing with the Nine-Ring Broadsword, looking forward to a great battle with Duan Zhengchun soon.

Just then, Zhong Ling ran home and bumped into him.

She thought she would be given a severe scolding by her father.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Wanchou was in a very good mood, practicing his sword skills while chanting.

"An old steed in its stall may still aspire to gallop a thousand miles; a hero, though old, still cherishes lofty ambitions!"

"Ling'er, you've sneaked out to play again?"

"How can someone so young and already so lax and undisciplined achieve anything great in the future!"

Seeing that her father was in a good mood, Zhong Ling was about to speak about her third brother.

Two servants escorting Duan Yu happened to pass by.

The brother and sister looked at each other, both dumbfounded.

Inside Dali City, at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

Several flying arrows were embedded in the vermilion gate of the prince's mansion.

A voice rang out from behind Xie Buruo.

"This friend seems to have a deep-seated prejudice against Prince Duan."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a withered hand slapped down on Xie Buruo's shoulder.

Hearing the wind, Xie Bu Ruo twisted his feet and turned, ending up behind the man.

Looking up, the person who made the move was a thin, short, dark-skinned man.

The burly man, instead of thanking him for his superb lightness skill, was delighted and exclaimed, "Excellent agility!"

He leaped to the left, as light as a monkey, and in a turn, he was behind Xie Buruo again.

Watching from the side, Wang Yuyan exclaimed in admiration, "This is the 'Stunning Shadow' movement technique; it truly lives up to its reputation."

The burly man clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Good eye."

His feet never stopped, and he and Xie Bu Ruo circled around, competing in lightness skills.

He was not tall, but his pace was extremely fast.

As the figure took a step, it grew fainter and fainter until it became a blurry shadow.

Xie Buruo, on the other hand, was much slower.

He doesn't walk quickly, but he has the ability to shrink the distance to an inch.

Even though I was in the east, I took three leisurely steps at a time and arrived at the west end.

In a short while, the two of them, one fast and one slow, had circled around ten times, sometimes like butterflies playing and sometimes like dragons swimming.

Within this small space in front of the Prince's Mansion, one can move nimbly and nimbly, reaching far and wide wherever one goes.

Wang Yuyan felt dizzy from looking at it.

Mu Wanqing was even more surprised, watching Xie Buruo's elegant gait, she thought to herself, "When did this guy learn such amazing lightness skills?"

During this time, she traveled south with Wang Yuyan and received a lot of guidance from her. She abandoned her longsword and switched to twin blades, which greatly improved her skills.

The pursuers from Mantuo Manor suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Mu Wanqing and her companion were not in a hurry to travel, but instead took their time, enjoying the scenery and challenging others to hone their martial arts skills.

She defeated many formidable opponents along the way and felt that she was no longer the same as before.

Thinking that if he met Xie Buruo in Dali, he could make the other party taste the humiliation of his defeat with the sword.

Who would have thought that Xie Buruo would actually master such lightness skills?

I can't even understand how he moves, let alone compare to him.

For a moment, she was so jealous that she wanted to bite the veil to pieces.

She asked Wang Yuyan, "What kind of kung fu did he use? Did you teach him?"

Wang Yuyan shook her head: "I can't teach such lightness skills. This movement technique is similar to the swordsmanship that Young Master Xie has learned."

Not far away, Duan Zhengchun and the Marquis of Shanshan walked slowly towards them.

The two returned to their residence with Ba Tianshi, and from afar they saw Xie Buruo shooting at their own gate.

Of the three, Ba Tianshi had the best lightness skill, so he arrived first.

Duan Zhengchun possessed profound inner strength, and before he even reached the door, he had already heard Wang Yuyan and Duan Zhengchun's conversation clearly.

Surprised by their knowledge, he stepped closer, about to strike up a conversation, when he saw the hidden arrow on the door and a thought suddenly struck him.

"This is the Red Cotton Tree's flying arrow!"

Duan Zhengchun looked at Xie Buruo again and murmured, "So alike, so very alike!"

Based on the hidden arrow on the door and the other party's behavior, Duan Zhengchun had already imagined a grand drama unfolding.

"Hongmian hates me to the extreme."

He knew that Ba Tianshi was highly skilled in lightness skills and had profound internal strength, and was about to speak up to remind the other party not to hurt Xie Buruo.

Upon closer inspection, however, a completely unexpected discovery was made.

Ba Tianshi is known as the number one light-body kung fu master in Dali.

Duan Zhengming even gave him a higher evaluation, believing that it would not be wrong to call him the number one person in the world in terms of lightness skill.

However, Ba Tianshi did not gain any advantage at all.

Although Xie Buruo's Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) has not yet reached the level of being able to change the hexagrams at will, simply walking out these sixty-four hexagrams is already beyond the lightness and agility of other sects.

Within arm's reach, the Lingbo Weibu technique changes unpredictably, like an invisible birdcage.

No matter how fast Ba Tianshi darted up and down, or how far he rushed east and west, he was trapped in the cage and could not escape.

After walking a long way, Ba Tianshi laughed loudly and stopped.

"Your Majesty calls me the best in lightness skill, which is far too much of an honor."

2

"This friend's lightness skill far surpasses mine; I sincerely admire him."

"However, Prince Duan is also a good friend of mine. It is far too unreasonable of you to shoot an arrow at the goal. Even if Ba Tianshi cannot defeat you, he still has to have a contest."

Duan Zhengchun quickly stepped forward: "It's all a misunderstanding!"

He turned his head, his eyes filled with pity, and his first question to Xie Buruo was, "How is your mother doing lately?"

With a snap.

Mu Wanqing landed on the ground with both swords.

Wang Yuyan's mouth opened slightly as the bundle slipped off her shoulder.

Even Black Rose, standing to the side, couldn't help but snort.
