After one stick of incense.

"Boss, I have already brought the people. I am just waiting for the message from Wang Jiu and them..."

Sun Kaixuan led several people into the courtyard and kept talking, but the door of the courtyard was closed tightly and no sound came out.

"Boss..."

Sun Kaixuan stepped forward with some doubts, and suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood.

His expression changed immediately and he pushed the door open. But when he saw the situation in the room clearly, he froze in place as if struck by lightning.

Not to mention what will happen in Yangping Town, the instigator on the other side has already run out of the town, and is galloping back to the carriage with a strong body.

He picked up Wang Jiu's body from the carriage and found a deserted wilderness to throw it down. Then he got back into the carriage and continued on his way.

"Huh... huh..."

Lin Sheng was lying on the carriage, breathing heavily. His clothes that were originally wet with sweat had already been changed back.

"This trip went smoother than I expected..."

After dealing with Wang Jiu, he turned back with all his strength, caught up with Ma Long's confidant who had gone back to report the news, and then killed him. He even changed into the other party's clothes just to be on the safe side.

Then he used the amplification effect of his Heightened Perception to return all the way to Yangping Town, and quietly lurked outside Ma Long Residence.

With the agility and speed bonus of White Ape's legs and his Heightened Perception, he could clearly hear the conversation between the two.

Originally, he wanted to deal with Sun Kaixuan together, but considering the risk of exposure, it would be more than worth the gain if Ma Long was prepared, so he just let Sun Kaixuan leave and waited until he left before taking action.

He succeeded with a sneak attack and a series of combination punches, which quickly made Ma Long unable to resist and finally died in his own hands.

The two of them seemed to be fighting each other for a long time, but the actual time was only a few breaths.

"Lime, poison, darts... It turns out that success or failure does not depend solely on the level of martial arts. If these side tricks are used properly, they can often play unexpected roles."

Lin Sheng muttered that he could do this only because of Liu Jie, who made him realize that killing people must be done by any means necessary.

Now that this potential threat has been completely resolved, he feels much more relaxed.

"It's a pity that Eagle Claw Thousand Jin Strength's cultivation method was not found from Ma Long. Even if it is just a broken copy, you can use it to practice first. It just so happens that I have Horned Eagle in my body that is suitable for practice."

He secretly thought it was a pity. After solving Ma Long, he searched around on it, but found nothing of value. Unfortunately, he was short of time and did not have time to search carefully. Otherwise, he could still find some money even if he didn't have the secrets of the exercises.

Soon, he shook his head slightly and smiled dumbly.

"You can't be too greedy. Now that the threat in the Beast Hunter Hall has been completely eliminated, it's time to find ways to search for other martial arts."

After thinking about it, he raised his whip and struck it on the horse's back. The carriage that was originally moving slowly became much faster and disappeared into the night soon.

Lin'an County City.

Inner City zone.

The Sun family's mansion.

The cold moon in the sky exudes a cool luster, and the glazed jade tiles of the mansion reflect a little green light.

In the woodshed in the backyard of the mansion.

Although it was already dark, there was still a figure in the woodshed, piling up chopped firewood.

This is a lean man, about twenty-one or twelve years old, with a bronze complexion. Although his body is thin, he gives people an indescribable sense of strength and strength.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by outside, causing the branches and leaves of the apricot tree in the courtyard to sway.

The man seemed to feel something and stopped.

He put down the dry firewood in his hand, wiped his hands with the rag hanging around his neck, and walked out of the room.

After glancing around, the figure disappeared into the courtyard the next moment.

Outside the mansion, on the top of the tall attic building, a black-robed figure stood on it, motionless under the dim moonlight, like a sculpture.

"What's wrong?"

A gentle breeze passed by, and a figure appeared on the top of the building, but it was the lean handyman from Sun's mansion.

"There's news at the meeting. Your spot has been decided, so it's time to go."

The black-robed figure spoke slowly, with a pleasant voice. She was actually a woman.

"So, I understand..."

"Want to take your family with you!?"

The woman in black robe asked.

The lean man was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly.

"No need, getting involved with you may not be a good thing."

"Oh!? Do you just want to watch your relatives fall into poverty?"

The woman in black robe seemed a little surprised by the lean man's words.

"You're talking too much. I'll leave early the day after tomorrow."

The lean man didn't say anything more, and his figure disappeared from the spot as soon as the final words fell.

"As expected, it's still so cold."

The black-robed woman muttered to herself, shook her head slightly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The sky is getting brighter, and the sky is turning white.

A carriage has approached the city gate.

On top of the carriage is a young man with a yellow scarf on his head and strong clothes. It's not Lin Sheng or someone else.

"This trip took most of the night."

Lin Sheng sat on the carriage and looked at the city gate in front of him, with a smile on his face.

After all, traveling at night was different from daytime, so he didn't move very fast, which was why he was delayed until now.

He felt quite happy at the thought of meeting his two elders soon.

Although it had only been a few months since he traveled through time and occupied this body, the emotions shown by the two elders towards him were real.

It actually made him feel the warmth of family that he had not seen for a long time.

He has already regarded the two of them as his relatives in his heart.

There were two guards guarding the city at the city gate. When they saw the carriage approaching, they just wanted to scold them. After all, it was still early in the morning and there was still some time before the city gate would open.

However, after seeing Lin Sheng's attire and the mark on the carriage, he stopped cursing and instead made way to open the city gate. Lin Sheng also took out the Town Mountain Tower stamp from his arms at the right time. The two took it and looked at it carefully before handing it back. They nodded to Lin Sheng and waved to let him go.

Lin Sheng also nodded in response. He noticed that in addition to the two soldiers guarding the city outside, there were seven or eight guards holding long spears on top of the city. Among them was a city gate officer wearing light armor. He was big and strong, and at first glance he looked like a martial artist.

"What happened in the city?"

Looking at the formation at the city gate, Lin Sheng was puzzled.

You must know that there was no such equipment at the city gate in the past, but now it is obviously much more rigorous, not to mention the crossbowmen equipped at the city wall sentries.

Although he was confused, he had no intention of exploring too much and drove the carriage in the direction of Crock Street.

But not far away, I saw a group of people wearing white clothes and linen walking towards them.

Lin Sheng got out of the way and watched this group of people. There were dozens of people in this group. Most of the men were strong, and most of the women were fair-skinned. The leader was a strong man in his 20s. His face looked miserable at the moment, but he still exuded power.

"Is this an innocent affair of a wealthy family in the city? This leading man is definitely more powerful than Body Tempering, and is most likely from the Muscle Forging Realm world."

Lin Sheng thought in his heart that the people with such a style must be the powerful class of Inner City, but he didn't know which one. After all, he didn't know much about the situation in Inner City.

However, many vendors who went to the street for the early market hid on both sides of the street, looking at these people in white and muttering softly.

Their voices were not loud, as if they were worried, but with Lin Sheng's hearing, they could naturally hear them clearly.

"I didn't expect that the old owner of White Elephant Martial Arts School would die like this. It's really God's will."

"Isn't that true? I heard that the young owner of White Elephant Martial Arts School has only been married for two months, so it is really pitiful that he has to encounter something like this."

"Sigh, White Elephant Martial Arts School is able to achieve its current status basically because of the old master. Now that the old master is dead, White Elephant Martial Arts School will probably have a hard time in the future."

"Why are you worrying about all this? No matter how hard life is for people, it is much better than ordinary people like us. It is better to think about how to sell more goods and make more money..."

The vendors were talking to each other in low voices. Although these wandering vendors on the street didn't have many skills, they were very clear about the various news and rumors in Lin'an County City.

Lin Sheng After listening for a while, he roughly understood what was going on.

He glanced at the men in white and found that the coffin they were carrying had a large pictographic pattern carved on it.

"White Elephant Martial Arts School."

Lin Sheng chewed on the name. Although he didn't know much about Inner City's power, he did know a little about White Elephant Martial Arts School.

It is considered one of the larger martial arts schools in Lin'an County City, with nearly a hundred disciples. The White Elephant Boxing Technique taught in the martial arts school is said to be very powerful, and the most powerful old gym owner is the late Muscle Forging martial artist.

Therefore, although the overall strength of White Elephant Martial Arts School is far inferior to that of a big force like Town Mountain Tower, it can definitely be regarded as a mid-level force in the county.

The reason why he knows this martial arts school relatively well is because after he traveled through time, he originally planned to go to the martial arts gym to learn skills after saving enough money.

This White Elephant Martial Arts School was one of his original target martial arts schools.

I didn't expect that hearing the news about White Elephant Martial Arts School again would be like this.

"But where did this Black Wind Bandits come from??"

From the mouths of those vendors, he learned that the old owner of White Elephant Martial Arts School was attacked by Black Wind Bandits when he was out of town. All ten people in his group died, and even their heads were cut off and sent back to the city.

Such ruthless methods are definitely not a good thing.

Especially the old gym owner who has been in late Muscle Forging for many years has no chance to escape. The strength of Black Wind Bandits is definitely extraordinary, but he has never heard of this number.

"This Lin'an County situation is becoming more and more chaotic."

Somehow, Lin Sheng had this idea in his mind.

Soon he shook his head again, no longer thinking about these things and headed towards home.

At the same time Crock Street is on the other side.

Tooth Gang station.

"What's the progress? Where is the murderer you mentioned?"

Liu Yuanshan, who was shirtless, cast his cold eyes on Xie Chunniang, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked coldly.

"After many days of searching for me, the person who took action should have stayed in the city for a while."

Feeling the fierceness in Liu Yuanshan's eyes, Xie Chunniang trembled and said quickly.

"Although the murderer hasn't been found yet, I already have a general direction."

"Oh?" Liu Yuanshan narrowed his eyes. "Say."

"According to my concubine Strange Beast's search, I found that the person who did it is most likely in Crock Street, and is also within the sphere of influence of our Tooth Gang."

Hearing this Liu Yuanshan frowned.

"Then, there are more than tens of thousands of Crock Street people. Do you mean that the murderer is here? If you waste so many days and you only find this little thing, then you can go and die."

In fact, from Xie Chunniang's reaction, he already believed that his brother was not killed by the two of them, but by someone else.

As for who will do it, apart from Fist Gang, the most likely person is naturally the person on Crock Street. After all, based on his understanding of his brother's temperament, there are probably many people on Crock Street who hate him to the core.

The strength of a person who can kill Liu Ergou should be around Body Tempering, but Crock Street has a large population. Although most of them are from poor families, there is no guarantee that any family will have good luck and someone will step into Body Tempering.

After all, there are many people on Crock Street who are making a living under some forces in the city. Naturally, there are many people who are lucky enough to get the cultivation method.

He couldn't kill these people one by one, although he had indeed killed several Body Tempering warriors who had recently had conflicts with his brother.

"Also... and... I have narrowed down the area. It is basically on the streets west of Crock Street. If you give me a little more time, I will definitely find the murderer!!"

Feeling the coldness in Liu Yuanshan's words, Xie Chunniang said hurriedly.

Liu Yuanshan tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table beside him. After a while, he finally gave him a chance.

"If you don't find it next time, you can go with my brother."

"Yes, yes, thank you Gang Leader Liu..."

Hearing this, Xie Chunniang quickly retreated as if he had been granted amnesty.

After he left, Liu Yuanshan stood up and sat cross-legged on the ground. I began to adjust my breathing rhythmically and began to practice.

However, after one stick of incense, Liu Yuanshan's complexion quickly became congested and swollen, and crisp sounds continued to come from his body, as if his bones were constantly shifting.

His face was also constantly Distortion, obviously enduring great pain, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on closing his eyes and continuing to practice.

However, within a few breaths, he opened his eyes wide instantly, and could no longer help relaxing his breath. He opened his mouth and let out a breath, and a wisp of fresh Blood Flow flowed out from his lips.

Wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, he showed a ferocious expression.

"It still doesn't work. It seems to be true. This Ape Fetus Technique is extremely difficult to practice. If you want to practice it, you must have a special secret medicine. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get started. Even if you can get started, the progress will be very slow."

Liu Yuanshan had a look of reluctance on his face.

Originally, he thought that with his talent and White Ape Leg Technique foundation, he should be able to barely practice this martial arts, but now it seems that he still thought too simply.

Without the help of secret medicine, let alone getting started, I am afraid that if you practice poorly, you will hurt yourself Origin Energy.

"It's a pity that Meng Hongsheng guy killed Tian Song directly, otherwise he would have been left alive, and we could have found a way to extract the drug formula from his mouth."

"Can I only place my hope on Meng Hongsheng?"

"No, I will never give up so easily. I must succeed in this Ape Fetus Technique practice..."

Liu Yuanshan has made a decision in his heart. Tomorrow he will ask the city's pharmacist to prepare the secret medicine. Even if he wants to try it, he will try out the secret medicine.
