Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

Furthermore, a method for separating them has been found.

This is... an attempt to escape.

At this point, Lu Changming's eyes narrowed slightly: "I was wondering why, when dealing with Tongxing Escort Agency, there were Angsa soldiers and powerful firearms used in the ambush."

It turns out, it was a trap within a trap…

A seasoned veteran is indeed a seasoned veteran.

Just from the term "dragon aura" mentioned by Li Xin, I have many thoughts.

Yuanshun Escort Agency is now openly on the side of the Reform Movement.

In other words, they were actually helping the young emperor.

They mostly stood on the same side as foreigners.

What they wanted was to uproot this old empire, dismiss outdated officials, abolish the imperial examination system, build railways, establish schools, develop science and technology, and make the country strong...

On the surface, this is what they want.

Of course, everyone had their own thoughts behind the scenes.

Everyone believed they would have the last laugh, and they were all full of confidence.

A consensus has been temporarily reached.

With their combined efforts, the old party officials were finding it difficult to breathe.

The deadly trap we're facing must have been set up by someone.

A trap was set to bring the Angsa people into conflict with the Yuanshun Escort Agency...

If, during this time, foreigners shot and killed the only daughter of Yuan Shun Wang Zhengyi.

Furthermore, they killed all of his right-hand men and disciples.

It's impossible for the two sides not to fall out.

However, Yuanshun Escort Agency does not represent just one family, but many martial arts heroes from all over the north and south, as well as progressive people who are determined to serve the country and seek development.

Once these people provoke conflict with foreigners.

They'll beat him until he's bloodied and bruised.

In the inner palace, the old faction officials would surely be laughing their heads off.

The reform movement naturally came to an abrupt end.

Without the strong support of local forces, the reformist faction simply couldn't have supported such a large operation.

They were all assassinated by the old party's top assassins long ago, sometime in the past.

"Nowadays, foreigners are actually unreliable; they are just using reformers as pawns to break the deadlock."

What they could truly rely on were, firstly, their own army, and secondly, the martial arts masters who supported them.

An ideology is just an ideology; without the support of force, nothing can be accomplished.

Those scholars actually knew.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become such a close friend with Chief Escort Wang Yuanshun.

Because they share similar ideals and are sticking together for mutual support.

Li Xin coldly looked at the two jungles on either side, took a deep breath and said, "This plan is extremely vicious. Even if you see through it, you can't break it."

If we hadn't been more skilled and killed them all first, they would probably have succeeded today.

I just don't know who came up with this plan...

Tongxing Escort Agency alone could not have pulled off such a tactic.

Since the death of the monk Jinzhong, the Blissful Sect has long been without a leader.

Could it be that…

Li Xin recalled some things his master had mentioned after his first battle with the Golden Bell Monk at the Cheng family.

Master Cheng Yuanhua once said...

Of the two disciples of Master Wuchang Benyuan, Jinzhong was cruel and Yinping was cunning.

In terms of skill, Yin Ping, who is hiding behind the scenes, is far superior to Jin Zhong.

However, this person is elusive; even if he appears right in front of you, you won't recognize him.

His favorite thing to do is to hide in the shadows, plot, and launch sneak attacks...

Every time they strike, there are no survivors.

That is why the power of the Silver Bottle is not well known to the world.

"It must be him."

Li Xin mentally went through the information he had gathered over the past few days.

You can vaguely see a bald head peeking out from the mist.

"The method of separating resentment and burning dragon energy is exactly the same as that of Monk Jinzhong."

It can also be very moving and affect one's spirit.

As expected, this person is not far away.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to control the timing of the eruption of the resentment of the masses within their bodies..."

Li Xin quickly changed his mind and said hastily, "I'll trouble Uncle Ming and Miss Jingya to take these carriages and the children on them back to the city. I'll go ahead first."

He threw down a sentence without waiting for anyone to reply.

Li Xin drifted away and plunged into the woods.

They hurried back the way they came.

He could vaguely sense that he hadn't gone in the wrong direction.

A faint, almost imperceptible, yet unsettling aura drew ever closer.

……

Five miles away from the convoy, on a small hillside, stood two people.

A person dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat stood tall.

It's unclear what role his straw hat played under the moonlight.

The other person, however, appeared somewhat plump, with a friendly smile on his face, gazing wistfully into the distance.

Hearing the gunshots and shouts of battle, which were no longer audible, he smiled bitterly and said, "This time, for the sake of the Venerable One, I, Wu, have thrown my entire fortune into it."

Years of hard work ruined in an instant. What a pity, what a pity.

Wu Yongzhong said it was a pity, but there was no trace of regret in his eyes.

Instead, his eyes shone brightly as he stared intently at the monk in the silver bottle, his longing evident in his expression.

"Don't worry, you have done me a great favor, and the Wuchang Temple will not mistreat believers."

This Bodhi seed can help you overcome the final hurdle, vanquish your inner demons and shatter your ego, and attain the enlightenment of a Bodhisattva on a lotus throne.

The monk with the silver bottle tossed the medicine bottle aside, smiled, and lifted his bamboo hat to reveal a handsome face as round as the moon and as gentle as jade.

The person was simply standing in the moonlight, yet it seemed as if their entire body was glowing.

The entire mountain forest and the night sky made him appear serene and peaceful.

Upon first glance, the monk immediately appeared taller and more imposing, inspiring no disrespect in anyone.

Upon receiving the jade bottle, even with Wu Yongzhong's cunning nature, he couldn't suppress his excitement.

His eyes were filled with ecstasy.

Pour out the golden-red bodhi seeds from the bottle and swallow them in one gulp.

Requesting monthly votes.

Give yourself something to look forward to. If everyone else is asking for something and I'm not, it makes me seem unambitious, and it doesn't look good for me.

How about this, everyone vote with your monthly tickets. If this book climbs into the top 100 of the monthly ticket rankings, I'll update one more chapter every day.

If I climb into the top ten, I'll update three more chapters.

If we can't climb up, it's not that the little fish isn't trying hard enough, it's that the readers aren't trying hard enough, haha.

Chapter 154 The Shada Forest, the White Bone Dharma Image

When Wu Yongzhong was young, he traveled all over China, seeking out teachers and friends.

He even did the "foolish thing" of shooting across the river with a single shot and defeating the enemy single-handedly.

Throughout his life, he fought hundreds of battles, both large and small.

He was also a formidable figure who crawled out of piles of corpses.

His Xingyi Liuhe spear technique was powerful and relentless, with no retreat whatsoever. He earned the infamous title of "Black Tiger of Jiangzuo".

Later, he and a group of old brothers opened the Tongxing Escort Agency in the capital, where their power was unparalleled for a time.

When the escort agency chose this name...

What he was thinking was that he would share hardships and prosperity with his brothers.

As time went on, he gradually realized that being daring and hardworking didn't actually make him rich or wealthy.

Those outdated ideas and moral principles in my heart have bound me.

As a result, this security escort agency was in a precarious situation from the very beginning.

Unfortunately, he also discovered that he had many hidden injuries from the fights he had in his youth.

On rainy days, it feels like being in hell...

Deep within the tendons and marrow, there is always a piercing, needle-like pain.

As a result, even though he had finally managed to cultivate the power to cover his entire body, these hidden injuries made it difficult for him to circulate his energy smoothly.

Ultimately, I still couldn't reach the sublime state of having power as fine as a thread.

In the quiet of the night, Wu Yongzhong would think about it.

If I didn't push myself so hard, if I knew how to take a step back, and then another step back...

Perhaps, as time goes by, my cultivation will advance further, my strength will become more subtle, and I will soon reach the level of a grandmaster.

Not to be outdone by figures like Wang Zhengyi (Big Knife King) and Cheng (Eight Trigrams Master).

……

There's no need to elaborate on what happened afterward.

In order to control the hidden injuries to his heart and lungs and restore his physical strength, Wu Yongzhong had no choice but to amass wealth to purchase precious medicines.

His previous style of doing things changed drastically all at once.

It was during this period that several of his old comrades died at his hands.

Unable to find what is within himself, he seeks external things.

Not only are there precious medicinal herbs, but there are also unorthodox martial arts techniques...

Thus, the renowned Great Snow Mountain Divine Skill of the capital city came into his view.

He hit it off immediately with Jin Zhong and Yin Ping, the monks.

He secretly made his move, achieving his goal, but his hands were now stained with blood.

In his view, there was nothing wrong with that.

It's all about getting what you need...

After all, there's a saying: "If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be doomed."

It can help me improve myself, live longer, and avoid dying prematurely from injuries.
