Donghe Commandery Boils (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Outside the city battlefield.

Xu Yan's Blood Essence surged, and his Dragon Subduing Palm became more and more effortless, with finer control over the strength of his palm force.

After unleashing the dragon-shaped palm force, the dragon's attacks also became more agile.

Amidst its fierce and unparalleled power, a hint of gentleness emerged.

This battle had given Xu Yan a deeper understanding of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

He had a feeling that it wouldn't be long before he could comprehend the Dragon Subduing Palm to a new level.

Boom!

A crimson dragon swept across the surroundings as Xu Yan advanced step by step.

Bang bang!

After the last row of Divine Might Army soldiers were sent flying, Xu Yan arrived before Jiang Pingshan.

A steel aura surrounded him, and a crimson dragon coiled around his body, making him appear like a deity commanding a dragon.

Jiang Pingshan's body trembled, and his warhorse retreated, shaking as if it would collapse at any moment.

Looking at the young man before him, he fell into a daze.

Could such powerful Martial Dao, as described in storybooks and legends, truly exist in this world?

Recalling one of the reasons his daughter broke off the engagement – that Xu Yan's mind wasn't quite right!

At this moment, it felt like a slap to his own face.

It was he who had the faulty mind!

Such a majestic and formidable youth, who should have been his son-in-law, had now become someone far beyond his reach.

A bitter feeling welled up in his heart.

"The Divine Might Army is nothing more than this. I haven't even used my full strength yet," Xu Yan said calmly.

Jiang Pingshan looked at the soldiers lying on the ground. Except for the front-line soldiers who charged forward and sustained heavier injuries or even died, the soldiers behind them were not severely wounded.

They had merely lost their combat effectiveness temporarily.

Xu Yan had held back.

Facing an encirclement and attack by thousands of soldiers, he could still retain his strength and show mercy. Just how powerful must he be to achieve this?

"You won. The Xu Family won," Jiang Pingshan exhaled, his expression complex.

"My father wants you to see him!" Xu Yan stated.

Jiang Pingshan was taken aback, seeming to understand something. He nodded and said, "After I handle the battlefield, I will visit the Xu Manor!"

Just then, a large crowd surged out from the commandery city.

They wielded weapons, their eyes filled with excitement, shouting, "Capture Jiang Pingshan! Capture the Divine Might Army! Heavenly Mother bless us! Heavenly Mother bless us!"

Seeing the Tianmu Cult members swarming towards them, Jiang Pingshan's expression changed.

These Tianmu Cult followers had infiltrated deeply, retaining so much strength even after the army's encirclement.

"Kou Ruozhi!" Jiang Pingshan's expression turned grim. This failed scholar had extraordinary methods!

"Scram!" Xu Yan roared. His Blood Essence surged, and two crimson dragons swept out, sending the Tianmu Cult followers flying.

"Do you think I, Xu Yan, who defeated the Divine Might Army, would allow you to take advantage of the situation? Dare to step forward again, and don't blame me for my ruthlessness!"

He remembered his father's instructions not to let the Tianmu Cult take advantage of the situation.

The Tianmu Cult followers were instantly intimidated and dared not advance.

Jiang Pingshan breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his long spear, and a squadron of soldiers rushed out from the commandery city – these were soldiers from the Great General of Donghe's Manor.

Outside the commandery city, dust billowed as another army arrived.

It was the army of Donghe Commandery, the troops under Jiang Pingshan's command.

The Divine Might Army had only been temporarily seconded to him.

Seeing that the situation had concluded, Xu Yan's figure shot out with incredible speed, yet silently. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the battlefield and soon appeared before Xu Junhe and Madam Xu.

"Yan'er, are you injured?" Madam Xu anxiously took his hand and examined him all over.

"Mother, I'm fine. They were just mere trash, they couldn't hurt me!" Xu Yan patted his chest.

"Let's go, let's head back."

Xu Junhe let out a breath as the dust settled and spoke.

The influential figures of Donghe Commandery all drew closer, eager to forge connections.

Even the common folk surged forward, their faces alight with excitement, wanting to catch a glimpse of the invincible, richest man's foolish son.

"Get out of the way!"

Xu Yan roared, his Blood Essence pressure rippling outwards.

Instantly, no one dared to approach!

However, voices drifted from afar.

"Young Master Xu, where did you find such a master?"

"Young Master Xu, where is this master?"

As everyone knew, the richest man's son had been searching far and wide for a master. Now, his strength was like that of a divine being; he must have found one. Where was this mysterious master? Was he still accepting disciples?

The important figures of Donghe Commandery City's eyes lit up, filled with excitement.

That's right! A master! Go find this master! It would be more direct to become a disciple of the master than to curry favor with the Xu family.

Kou Ruozhi and the other experts of the Tianmu Cult were also thrilled. They immediately mobilized their followers to search for the master's whereabouts.

"Even the richest man's foolish son can become a disciple and learn powerful Martial Dao? My son is intelligent and capable; he will surely be able to become a disciple too. After learning Martial Dao, his strength will definitely surpass Xu Yan's!"

"My daughter is clever, beautiful, and skilled with her hands. How could she fail to become a disciple? We must find this master!"

Many prominent figures in the commandery city believed that if the Xu Junhe family's foolish son could become a disciple and learn powerful Martial Dao, their own children, being even more intelligent and capable, would certainly succeed as well. Their Martial Dao strength would undoubtedly be greater than Xu Yan's!

That day, the entire commandery city was in an uproar. No one cared about the chaos in Donghe Commandery or the Tianmu Cult's rebellion; their minds were solely occupied with how to find a master and become a disciple.

In Yunshan County, the old man in hemp clothes and the county magistrate emerged from the courtyard, finally breathing a sigh of relief. They had talked until their throats were dry all night. Fortunately, their lives were safe. After leaving the courtyard, they rushed back to the county office to discuss their plans for fleeing. It was too terrifying!

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Li Xuan sat leisurely in a chair, having listened to the old man in hemp clothes and the others explain matters concerning the Tianmu Cult, the Qi Kingdom, and the Wu Kingdom all night. He finally had a clearer understanding of the outside world. To his surprise, the Tianmu Cult actually had a Heavenly Mother. The current Heavenly Mother was a young girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old. The experts of the Tianmu Cult lauded her as the most beautiful woman in the world, possessing a compassionate heart who couldn't bear to see people suffer. It was said that the Heavenly Mother could always make evildoers cease their wicked ways; none who were persuaded by her ever returned to their old habits. It was truly miraculous. Furthermore, despite her young age, the Heavenly Mother possessed extraordinary medical skills and had saved countless people. Li Xuan found himself intrigued by this young girl.

"I wonder if she'd be suitable as a disciple?"

Being able to persuade evildoers to stop their wickedness was quite a skill. And it was no small feat! From what the old man in hemp clothes revealed, the current Heavenly Mother was a highly talented young girl with a kind heart and superb medical skills. Young, skilled in medicine, and not lacking in martial arts. She was a genius.

"What a shame, that young lady isn't in the Qi Kingdom but has gone to the Wu Kingdom."

Li Xuan shook his head. Perhaps he would visit her someday if the opportunity arose, to see if she was suitable as a disciple. Li Xuan viewed the Tianmu Cult with a neutral perspective.

The sky had brightened.

"I wonder how my disciple's family is doing now?"

Li Xuan pondered whether he should go to the commandery city.

"With the Qi Kingdom's military strength, Xu Yan's power should be enough to handle it. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Suddenly.

The ball of golden light in his mind flickered into existence
