I am Jinshan Youxia

Zhang Chengyi wasn't surprised at all, but simply said, "Just for this?"
Xiao Feng couldn't possibly be unaware of just how powerful Leigu Mountain was; there was no safer place in the world.
"Brother Zhang is indeed a prophet."
Xiao Feng gave a smile that was a mixture of helplessness and bitterness, and said, "They...they want me to..."
"So you want to make you emperor, is that it?" Zhang Chengyi finished the sentence that the Great King Xiao had been stammering out.
Xiao Feng opened his mouth, then sighed and remained silent.
Every single one of Murong's subordinates harbored rebellious intentions. In order to stabilize Suzhou City and the tens of thousands of artificially trained experts, he needed these people, so he decisively took over their command.
The artificially created masters are mostly from the bottom of society, and they are already seriously dissatisfied with the world. If they are easily provoked, they would want to put on a warm coat the next day.
The Beggars' Sect disciples who followed him were all willing to follow him, acknowledging their Khitan bloodline, and they had no resistance to the emperor coming to their home today.
His biological father, Xiao Yuanshan, who had chased him all the way to Suzhou and captured him, readily accepted his son's plan to rebel.
The Xiao family held a position second only to the Yelü clan in the Liao Dynasty. Emperor Taizu of Liao decreed that only women with the surname Xiao could be married as empresses, thus naturally qualifying them to become emperors.
At this point, Xiao Feng was somewhat put on hold. Unlike Zhao Yun, who seemed to reluctantly accept being given the imperial robe, Xiao Feng genuinely had no intention of becoming emperor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted the amnesty and cooperated with the court to get the paralyzed city of Suzhou running again.
"Three days later, on the night of the full moon, come with me to Bianliang."
Zhang Chengyi patted him on the shoulder and didn't say anything more. Some things can't be solved simply with words.
-------------------------------------
That night, in the bamboo forest of Leigu Mountain.
"Shh~" The evening breeze blew gently, the leaves rustled, and figures silently swept by.
Li Qiushui stood on the bamboo with her toes, dressed in a white robe and her face covered with white silk. Her features were exquisite. She looked down at the three masters from the Three Kingdoms who were heading towards the Valley of the Deaf and Mute, and a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.
When Ding Chunqiu fled to Jiangnan in a panic and sent her a letter asking for help, she naturally couldn't be bothered to reply. What was a former lover worth? Why should she care about him or try to rescue him? On the contrary, she was rather annoyed.
She was someone who adored handsome young men. Even when fighting to the death with her senior sister, she would still go and take a look whenever she heard of a handsome young man. Part of her flirting with Ding Chunqiu was to spite Wu Yazi, but a significant part of it was because Ding Chunqiu was handsome when he was young.
But as people get older, they lose their good looks, which makes her lose all interest. Out of boredom, she simply sends someone to have Yipintang bring Ding Chunqiu back.
Whether the news that Senior Brother Wuyazi is alive is true or false, we still need to press him for an answer.
Who would have thought that the useless Helian Tieshu would take so many of the elite troops of Yipintang and never return? She didn't rush to send people to the Central Plains or come herself; she just sent people to gather information.
Su Xinghe traveled the martial arts world with the Eight Friends of Hangu, and also followed some so-called Jinshan Wanderer as their leader, which sounded like a connection to her senior brother Wuyazi. As more and more news reached her ears, she became increasingly curious about what exactly had happened at Leigu Mountain.
He then took the initiative to participate in the joint campaign by the Song Dynasty and Dali to suppress Leigu Mountain.
Anyway, Yipintang accepts anyone who comes, and it's a mixed bag of people, so she doesn't care if a few die.
Li Qiushui gazed into the darkness. Even the most skilled experts in this world could not see in the dark, but theoretically, with so many people rushing into the Valley of Deafness and Muteness, someone should have already lit a tinderbox or something.
But the darkness in the distance was like a swamp, silently swallowing up hundreds of people without them reacting.
Alarm bells rang in her mind, and she began to consider retreating. A formation? A trap? Whatever it was, it must be extremely dangerous inside.
Before she could retreat, she heard a very soft sound approaching from afar. She pinpointed the sound and struck out with her palm without hesitation. However, the white rainbow palm force, which was as flexible as a clay ox entering the sea, was like a mud ox entering the sea. Before she could make any further movements, her body stiffened and all the major acupoints on her body were sealed.
One-Finger Divine Skill?!
Li Qiushui was horrified. She was lifted up by several people whose faces she couldn't see and floated lightly over the bamboo forest into the valley. They were tossed aside like sacks of potatoes. She clearly felt herself being thrown onto several people, and their breath sprayed on her arms and back, which made her extremely angry.
Even with her martial arts skills, she couldn't break through the pressure point technique, and the pressure point skills and lightness skills of the person who captured her were unheard of.
Could it be the legendary Kingsoft Ranger who can take on a hundred enemies single-handedly?
As the anger subsided, reason prevailed. If Leigu Mountain was a trap, then what did the person behind it all want?
Power? Money? Martial arts? Whatever it is, given her status, as long as she reveals her identity, there's something to discuss.
Soon, more and more people around her were grabbed and had their pressure points pressed, and a few even lay on top of her. She calmly thought that after leaving this place, anyone lying on her or being laid on by her who wasn't good-looking would die.
After a long while, her senses began to detect that there were fewer and fewer people around her. The oil lamp lit up, and two voices, one after the other, rang out simultaneously not far away.
"Junior sister..."
"You bitch!"
Chapter 61 He can be replaced!
The next day, in the morning.
"Haah~"
Zhang Chengyi got up with a yawn, not paying any attention to the fact that the masters of the Three Kingdoms were attacking Leigu Mountain together.
How high can a master be? If Wu Yazi and the others can't solve this, they might as well give up on breaking through the martial arts path and just find a shady place to hang themselves.
After leisurely washing up, he strolled over to the courtyard in front of the valley—
Today, the Valley of Deafness and Muteness is no longer the lush, vegetated place it once was. Thanks to the three skilled craftsmen, Wu Yazi, Su Xinghe, and Feng Asan, it has long since been transformed into a complex of exquisitely crafted and beautiful wooden buildings.
To be fair, top-tier experts are also very useful in civil engineering, especially after they start body tempering, each of them is strong enough to lift a cauldron, and one of them can do the work of a hundred senior civil engineering students.
Rows of prisoners dressed in tight-fitting clothes were obediently leaning against the wall. They had no choice but to behave, as they had been acupunctured.
Breakthroughs in martial arts always require some consumables, especially body tempering. It's better to find some experts to handle it, saving Zhang Chengyi the trouble of infusing his internal energy and then using it.
The body-tempering experiment won't kill them. At most, their true energy will dissipate and they'll lose all their martial arts skills. They won't die. In fact, it's too good for them. If it really came down to a fight, they would be easy targets to kill.
The former Beggars' Sect disciples brought by Xiao Feng were comparing the identities of these prisoners one by one.
"Senior brother~"
"You bitch!"
"Senior sister..."
Wow, it's quite lively here.
Zhang Chengyi looked at the three elders of Xiaoyao, who had formed a stable triangular structure, and smiled maliciously.
Wu Yazi, that old codger, has been depressed ever since he came back from Wuliang Mountain. Although he hasn't fallen behind in his work, his constant sighing and complaining is quite annoying to watch.
That's good, now we don't have to worry about him continuing to indulge in his lustful ways.
As for whether they will be split in two or carried away by the Heavenly Child Granny on a boat, that remains to be seen.
The three of them—the senior sister at ninety-six, the junior brother at ninety-three, and the junior sister at eighty-eight—are almost three hundred years old combined, yet they're still agonizing over relationship issues. It's really a bit hard to believe.
"Young friend." Wu Yazi looked relieved when he saw Zhang Chengyi approaching and greeted him as he came over.
Li Qiushui, who had been captured and still unable to use her internal energy, let out a soft snort and stared straight at Zhang Chengyi.
Beside her, the pretty and lovely Tianshan Child Granny stared intently at the despicable woman opposite her with eyes that looked like she wanted to devour her. She had arrived yesterday afternoon and had been sending people to keep an eye on Zhongyuan and that despicable woman. She had discovered the problem even before the Beggars' Sect and had arrived near Leigu Mountain yesterday afternoon with the disciples of Lingjiu Palace.
She cherished her subordinates, and even went ahead alone to try to infiltrate Leigu Mountain, only to be captured like Li Qiushui.
The two of them, who were considered the eldest, were both acupoints sealed and their internal energy blocked. With the deaf-mute disciples watching them, a fight couldn't break out at all.
Zhang Chengyi ignored the two old women and walked towards the main hall, laughing as he said, "After I leave, you two better watch out so they don't eat you."
Whatever grudges and entanglements, they have nothing to do with him in the end. As long as Wu Yazi is open-minded, he doesn't want to get involved in other people's emotional affairs.
"Hey"
Wu Yazi sighed and asked, "When are you going into seclusion, young friend?" He had recently sensed that his benefactor was about to leave.
"The day after tomorrow, Xiao Feng and I will go to Tokyo to keep our appointment, and then we will prepare to find a place to go into seclusion."
Zhang Chengyi gave his answer without any hesitation: he had no intention of going to Tokyo and coming back.
He has practiced enough in actual combat that, without using internal energy or lowering his physical strength, he can easily take on five opponents in a wide open environment with his bare hands. If he has equipment or is in a more complex environment, he can easily maneuver around and take on ten opponents.
However, the various martial arts collected by the Eight Friends of Hangu gave him many surprises. Whether it was relatively common martial arts such as Iron Shirt, Iron Sand Palm, and Iron Crotch Skill, or divine skills such as Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, Divine Foot Scripture, and Yi Jin Jing, they would all enhance his body to some extent.
This has been tested by many masters in the valley. The only regret is that he himself cannot master many of the divine skills and can only watch the excitement.
After all, it was created with cheat codes and skill points, and the person had only been learning martial arts for less than a year. This hunter's body was not a genius, and the person's aptitude was really poor, so they couldn't learn it at all.
Skills like One Finger Divine Skill, Six Meridian Divine Sword, or Qiankun Great Shift, which can be mastered simply by having a lot of internal energy, are actually meaningless because they don't involve changes in the body; they are more about the application of internal energy.
He's invincible just by using basic attacks, so what's the point of learning all sorts of random skills? We'll see about that in the future.
Wu Yazi remained silent for a long while before asking frankly, "Will you return in the future, young friend?"
"Definitely." Zhang Chengyi steadied himself.
He felt a slight sense of attachment, perhaps due to discomfort with the completely unfamiliar new world? It always takes courage to move from the known to the unknown.
Firstly, he was genuinely tired of being a chivalrous hero or an immortal. Secondly, he had things he needed to do. His true form was still hanging alone outside the world, and by simply logging into 'games' in different worlds, he could only exert far too little influence, and the sensory differences were significant.
If he wants to start anew and return to his hometown one day, the first thing he needs to do is find a suitable body to put himself in.
Staying in Tianlong is clearly not an option.
But it's always okay to come back and take a look occasionally.
"The martial arts are now in your hands." Zhang Chengyi looked at Wuyazi, whose expression was somewhat somber, and said earnestly:
"We'll meet again in the future."
-------------------------------------
On the night of the full moon, the rear pavilion of Chongqing Hall in the Bianliang Imperial Palace was brightly lit.
Empress Dowager Gao sat upright, with Emperor Zhao Xu quietly accompanying her. Armored soldiers with weapons patrolled the area outside the hall, while imperial guards lurked in the shadows.
"call!"
As if a gentle breeze had swept by, a burly man suddenly appeared inside the hall.
"Whoosh!" Armored soldiers entered from outside, surrounding the two in the blink of an eye. Imperial guards stood in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
Why is Your Majesty so nervous?
The man remained calm. "Zhang did send someone over with a letter."
"Zhang Chengyi, the Wandering Swordsman of Jinshan!"
"Take them down!" The lead soldier gave the order, and everyone attacked in unison.
"Bang!"
The weapons clashed, but the attack missed. This person appeared near the emperor like a ghost, making the imperial guards hesitant to attack.
