Wen Caishang straightened her skirt, brushed off the dust, and sat up straight.

As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black."

"That scoundrel Li Xian is a habitual liar; he even dares to lie to me. You all seem to be quite close to him, so you're probably not telling the truth either."

Please find another way to prove your identity and dispel my doubts.

Luo Xia hesitated, observing Wen Caishang carefully. She suddenly sensed that Wen Caishang was not only angry but also resentful of being betrayed. No matter how she tried to deal with it, she would not be able to please her.

Suddenly a servant said, "Madam... Madam... I..."

Wen Caishang glanced at him sideways and said, "Speak."

The constable said, "I... I only recently joined the Martial Commandant Hall and don't know Li Xian very well. I didn't know he... he was such a despicable person."

He only got halfway through his sentence. Wang Wu and Zhang Hou glared at him angrily. To save his life, the constable forced himself to continue, saying, "Therefore, the saying 'one who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black' doesn't apply to me. I've received no favor from him, nor have I enjoyed any benefits from him. If I were to encounter Li Xian, I would certainly not protect him; I would definitely report to Madam."

Zhang Hou roared, "You scoundrel!" and kicked out angrily. The constable knew that after saying this, he would no longer be able to stay in the Martial Commandant Hall. He tore off the mask of civility and dodged Zhang Hou's attack by sidestepping.

Wen Caishang flicked her sleeve. Zhang Hou was swept away by the powerful wave, rolled on the ground, and plowed a furrow in the earth. Suddenly, he felt itchy all over and rolled around on the ground, howling in pain.

The powerful waves, mixed with cold air, seeped into the body, moving up and down, causing unbearable pain and itching all over, a truly agonizing experience.

Wen Caishang said, "It seems you know the whereabouts of that scoundrel. Then please tell me quickly."

Zhang Hou, enduring excruciating pain, felt a lump in his throat. Seeing Wen Caishang's fierce approach and knowing she was unlikely to survive, he said, "Madam... I truly don't know. Even if... even if I did know, I'm afraid I cannot tell you!"

Wen Caishang said calmly, "Aren't you afraid I'll take your life?"

Zhang Hou said, "I'm neither afraid nor afraid."

Wen Caishang, "What's so special about that scoundrel that you always protect him like this?" Zhang Hou replied respectfully, "If... if you're talking about something special, I'm not very knowledgeable and don't know how to put it. Perhaps Martial Commandant Wu... he's full of wonders."

"Zhang Hou came from a poor family and suffered many humiliations from a young age. When the Yellow Dragon Army attacked the city, young men were conscripted to defend it. Thus, he obtained a job as a servant in the government office."

"However, most of the yamen runners are scheming and despicable. They oppress the people and extort money from them. In a daze, I followed the crowd. If I hadn't joined the Martial Commandant Hall and learned my true nature, I wouldn't have truly lived."

"Please, Madam, kill him. Zhang Hou doesn't know the whereabouts of Martial Commandant Wu, but even if he does, he won't say."

His voice was sincere.

Wang Wu and the others all said, "Madam Wen, please do as you please, kill or torture us."

Luo Xia fell silent. She stepped to the side, blocking the crowd. Wen Caishang, however, looked away, gazing into the distance.

A mixture of joy and anger welled up within her. "My beloved Li Lang is so outstanding. What he said is indeed true. Wu Cuo not to be willing to give one's life for him... There's no way around it." She couldn't stop thinking about Li Xian, her eyes filled with intoxication and sweet affection, lost in a daze for a long time.

"If you're talking about what's strange about him, I know it all too well. He's incredibly gifted, with a handsome appearance, but his temperament is utterly unreliable and extremely wicked."

Her thoughts drifted, sometimes laughing, sometimes scolding. She remained silent for a long time. Luo Xia and the others, feeling their lives were hanging by a thread, dared not observe Wen Caishang's expression. Therefore, none of them knew...

After a long pause, Wen Caishang pointed to the constable who was hastily trying to distance himself from the situation and said softly, "You may step forward."

The constable was overjoyed and said, "Madam, what are your orders?"

Wen Caishang said, "I have something to ask you." The constable replied, "Please ask, Madam. I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

Wen Caishang said, "You say you haven't received any favors from him. But your clothes, food, and other necessities come from the Martial Commandant Hall, don't they?"

The constable was taken aback. "Although I come from the Martial Commandant Hall, but..." Wen Caishang said, "Does your salary and wages come from the Martial Commandant Hall?"

The constable said, "Madam, please rest assured, these salaries have nothing to do with Li Xian. I will never protect him because of this."

Wen Caishang said, "Really? Miss Luo... the businesses in this city, the flow of funds in the Martial Commandant Hall, are all related to Li Xian, aren't they?"

Luo Xia said thoughtfully, "Indeed!"

Wen Caishang angrily said, "You two-faced scoundrel! You haven't learned any of his good qualities, but you've mastered all the lies. You should kill yourself." With a flick of her wrist, she drew Wang Wu's sword into her hand and threw it at the constable's feet.

The constable was taken aback. Wen Caishang said calmly, "If you do not commit suicide within three breaths, I will order you to have your flesh and bones cut off." Her voice was gentle.

The constable was completely taken aback. How could Zhang Hou, who had been so defiant, still survive, while he, who had distanced himself from the situation, was now in grave danger?

Luo Xia roared, "You brat!" and slashed with her sword, severing the constable's heart meridian and killing him on the spot.

She was panting heavily. Knowing Wen Caishang's ways well, she knew that if the bailiff had been a moment later, he would have suffered excruciating pain, as if his flesh had been torn from his bones. Although she was annoyed that this man had changed his mind at the last minute, had no integrity, and was a treacherous villain, she couldn't bear to do it after spending several months with him. So she killed him with a single sword stroke, giving him a quick death.

Wen Caishang said, "What I hate most is being lied to. This person is extremely dishonest. Let the next person prove their innocence."

Luo Xia said, "Whether she is innocent or innocent, Madam has already made up her mind; there is no need for her to prove it herself."

"We have no objection to how to handle this."

Wen Caishang was utterly bored. She had originally wanted to vent her anger, but seeing everyone's sincerity and genuine affection for Li Xian Li Xian, she found that her anger was somehow defeated, leaving her mind in turmoil.

He could no longer unleash a massacre.

Seeing that it was getting late and the secret medicine was almost ready, Wen Caishang stepped out of the hall and drifted away.

Luo Xia and the others were all taken aback. They waited silently for a while, but there was no sound. Luo Xia quietly went to the outer door and saw that Wen Caishang had already disappeared. She then breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Wu asked, "Brother Zhang, are you alright?" Zhang Hou shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

Luo Xia asked solemnly, "Are you really alright?" She took his pulse and examined him carefully. He found that there was bleeding and internal injuries. Although the injuries were not minor, he could recover in a few days.

Luo Xia exclaimed in surprise, "How strange! How strange!"

Zhang Hou's face was deathly pale. "It seems I can't escape this fate after all." Luo Xia laughed, "What are you thinking? I meant your injuries are surprisingly minor!"

Luo Xia said, "Lady Broken Sword is known for her ruthless methods. Even if she spares a life, she will make sure the person suffers excruciating torment."

"You argued with her today, and logically speaking... a broken hand or foot would be the least of your worries. But... the injuries are so minor. How strange!"

Zhang Hou said, "That's really strange." Luo Xia realized what was going on and guessed that although Wen Caishang was deliberately looking for trouble, her feelings towards Li Xian were definitely not ordinary.

Luo Xia Intestine-Turning Narrow Passage, "Is it true that one is influenced by one's surroundings? Could it be a case of loving someone because of their surroundings? Does Li Xian really have this ability to make the Lady Broken Sword fall in love with everything she does? What kind of bewitching potion did he use?"

Looking at the corpse on the ground, he understood even more clearly. "If it really was a case of loving someone because of their loved one, then this guy's sudden betrayal wouldn't be unjust. Wen Caishang loved Li Xian dearly and came to pick a fight to vent her anger, but out of consideration for Li Xian, she might not have actually killed him. But... your sudden betrayal, isn't that just walking right into the line of fire?"

After sorting things out, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xian spent two days traveling to "Hundred Mountains Prefecture". He ate two pancakes every morning and evening, and spent his time traveling and practicing martial arts... It was a monotonous but fulfilling journey, Heaven Rewards Diligence.

The legacy of the Tomb-Hoard Mountain: Crane-in-Midst Elixir, Five Organs Purge-Turbidity Revive-Yang Scripture- Gathering Classic, Recipe for Sword Control, One-Sheet Marriage Contract.

The "marriage contract" and "recipe" are still far off. The "Crane-in-Midst Elixir" and the "Five Organs Purge-Turbidity Revive-Yang Scripture" are right before his eyes and in his mind. Li Xian felt that he was already a hundred miles away from the One Accord Manor.

I am mentally and physically exhausted.

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly.

As summer approaches and the heat intensifies, the cicadas begin their incessant chirping.

Li Xian stepped on starlight, leaping and traveling. His Proficiency the Seven-Star Step was already at [2899]. His Light Force and refined, and his body was ethereal and agile.

Hanging from a tree branch, Li Xian looked out and caught sight of a lake. He saw several travelers taking off their clothes and cooling off in the lake. Li Xian, holding onto a mat, glanced at the sky; the heat was unbearable. So he also took off his clothes and jumped into the cool lake.

He had already developed the characteristics of the Second Martial Realm, and had gone through the process of "Clear Ascension, Turbid Descent," so he dared not wade too deep into the water. Therefore, he used vines as ropes and tied them to the tree trunks by the lake.

Clinging to vines, I soaked in the lake. My body sank the moment it touched the water, as if a thousand pounds were dragging me down.

After relieving the summer heat, they pulled on the vines and leaped out of the lake.

With a "splashing" sound, water spilled all over the ground.

Li Xian felt refreshed and clear-headed. He simply tied his long hair up, sat down on the side, unpacked his backpack, and ate and drank some dry biscuits with water.

The Five Organs Purge-Turbidity Revive-Yang Scripture is profound and extensive. Martial arts, which are known for their "meridians," "skills," and "secrets," often break away from the framework of "fists and feet" and "swords," covering a wide range and having extraordinary uses.

Li Xian has dabbled in fist, leg, sword, knife, and finger techniques, and has already mastered Martial Dao. At this moment, he is studying the "Five Organs Purge-Turbidity Revive-Yang Scripture" in detail. At first, he finds it obscure and complex, and the principles are profound. However, he can understand the essential meaning on his own.

He was naturally studious and had a broad mind. When traveling with Wen Caishang, he often explored the vast ocean of knowledge. Wen Caishang was unwilling to keep anything to herself and would tell him everything in detail, explaining the origins and stories. Gradually, Li Xian began to learn about the doctrines of Daoism, Buddhism, and other religions. After studying them for a while, he vaguely realized that the Five Organs Purge-Turbidity Revive-Yang Scripture was related to Daoism and Buddhism.

It is profound and extensive, and I have benefited greatly from it.

It is divided into two volumes.

Since a few days ago, Li Xian has been studying the book in his spare time, always lingering on the first volume. It is concise and to the point, requiring careful reading and slow contemplation to understand its profound meaning.

The first volume focuses on principles of conduct.

As recorded on page 3 of the above volume:

"Zhao Zheng was the ancestor of the Pure Yang Sect, a gentleman of refined character and noble integrity. One day, he visited an old friend, but because his friend was fast asleep, he did not disturb him. He waited outside the door for three days before he was finally able to meet his friend. After exchanging a few words, he left again."

Li Xian reflected. "Zhao Zheng has an excellent temperament and a broad mind. The story recorded in the scriptures must be meant to teach future generations to be calm and treat others with sincerity."

Although his understanding was superficial, he was serious and carefully considered every word, gradually memorizing them. When he read the second volume, he suddenly realized: the principles in the first volume seemed useless, merely teaching people principles. In fact, they involved profound matters and contained hidden mysteries!

The second volume is the "Five Organs Turbidity-Avoidance and Gathering Yang Internal Cultivation Method," also known as the "Five Organs Turbidity Circulation Method," which can be divided into five levels:

Strengthen the Five Organs, Strengthen Bone and Blood, Initiate Creation, Birth of Five Radiances, Lotus-Step.

After practicing diligently, his internal organs became like jade, and his entire body was flawless. Li Xian read the scriptures several times and believed he had grasped the general meaning. Starting today, he would try to "Turbidity Transport" and refine his extraordinary skills.

The five internal organs contain the five impurities.

Ordinary people consume the five grains and various delicacies of nature, which inevitably accumulate impurities. Warriors may cleanse themselves of these impurities, but the world is inherently impure; how can one remain pure?

It will inevitably become gradually tainted by filth and pollution.

The five internal organs are where impurities accumulate.

The method of "Five Organs Purge-Turbidity Revive-Yang Scripture" is based on the "mysterious essence of the five elements" and is in harmony with the "natural order of heaven and earth". It moves the turbid Qi of the five internal organs. It moves the turbidity and strengthens the organs, Life Extension, generates and nourishes essence, consolidates the foundation and cultivates the original Qi, and nourishes the blood and strengthens the body.

Li Xian was well aware of the gravity of the situation.

Hands, feet, swords, and knives are easy to practice, but internal organs are difficult. Human organs are buried between the flesh and blood, difficult to perceive, and difficult to control... so naturally there is no way to practice them.

While training his "Iron-Copper Body," Li Xian also worked on his lungs. Having tempered his Iron Lung, Li Xian felt he had benefited greatly.

However, the lungs are connected to the nose. Breathing techniques and body-beating exercises can strengthen the lungs to some extent. But the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and other organs are extremely difficult to strengthen.

Li Xian closed his eyes.

The method of cultivating the internal organs requires forgetting about "Inner Qi". One must not use Qi to interfere, but simply use the physical body to perceive the internal organs, as if an invisible hand is holding the internal organs.

Gradually apply control. Through organ vibration, flesh and blood movement, Blood Qi and qi stimulation, and spirit and soul activation... forge the organs. Draw out the turbid qi between the organs, but it cannot escape.

The human body is like heaven and earth.

When the balance of clear and turbid substances is disrupted, Qi and Blood rush directly to the crown of the head, causing bleeding from the seven orifices. Five Organs Purge-Turbidity Revive-Yang Scripture," not the "Five Organs Eliminating Turbidity and Meeting Yang Meridian."

The universe is vast, and so is the Martial Dao world. A single Martial Dao manual, a true scripture, or a fundamental principle often encompasses one understanding of Martial Dao. Sometimes, two understandings or theories of Martial Dao are completely contradictory.

This is perfectly normal.

Ordinary martial artists, when faced with this situation, would be cautious and dare not practice recklessly. Martial Dao artists who have a systematic understanding of martial arts and a mature understanding of their own Martial Dao will try to draw on the essence of both.

The "Perfect Aspect" has no such worries.

Perfect Aspect is like an exquisite vessel, flawless and with a plasticity far surpassing others. Even though the two martial arts he practices contradict each other, causing a decline in his strength, he can immediately stop his haphazard practice and find a way to remedy the situation, and return to his original state.

Not afraid of leaving lifelong health problems.

Cardiac toxins are transported to the kidneys.

The kidney opening is tightly closed; knocking will not open it.

Li Xian waited patiently, and his kidney gate opened. The impure thoughts of the heart and kidneys mingled for a moment, and then the impure thoughts of the heart departed again. This is a story that echoes the idiom "Zhao Zheng visits a friend".

This method of transporting the five turbidities actually follows the principles of the previous volume. After practicing it once, Li Xian felt refreshed and energetic, with heat rising in his body, experiencing an indescribable sense of well-being.

[You Turbidity Transport, Proficiency +1]

[The Five Organs Purge-Turbidity Revive-Yang Scripture - Level 1]

[Proficiency: 1/800 Initiation]

Li Xian calmed his mind and diligently practiced internal cultivation. The side effect of the "Waning Sun Blood-Draining Sword," "decaying blood," was actually resolved.

Li Xian possessed the special ability "Heartfire".

The heart is like a burning fire, cooking the blood and body until it is warm and hot, unafraid of dampness, heat, cold, or freezing. But it can also cook the blood until it dries up and the body becomes withered, requiring constant Yin Sword interaction and nourishment with yin dew.

The "Yin-Yang Immortal Companions Sword" are extremely powerful. Twin Swords in Harmony, their strength is immense. However, their strength also comes with the two swords.

The sword manual contains numerous obstacles, making it impossible for the Yang Sword masters to separate them for life. If the Yin Sword loses the Yang Sword, the Yin energy in the kidneys accumulates, causing endless sorrow and unbearable longing. If the Yang Sword loses the Yin Sword, the Heartfire blazes fiercely, burning the blood and scorching the body.

Li Xian practiced the method of "Five Organs Turbidity Circulation," and when Turbidity Transport, he naturally dissipated some of the Heartfire.

Secondly, it can generate new blood.

[Blood production] Five Organs Purge-Turbidity Revive-Yang Scripture.

Li Xian thought to himself, "I originally needed to put in a lot of effort to resolve this critical blood deficiency. The method of Turbidity-Avoidance from the five internal organs and sending charcoal through the blood is just right."

"But... this method Life Extension, cultivates the body and mind, strengthens the organs and benefits the blood, but it ultimately does not enhance my Inner Qi or improve my Martial Dao. If I have the opportunity, I will need to find a new martial art and practice it properly. Now that I have left One Accord Manor and am all alone, martial arts are not easy to acquire!"

What Li Xian didn't know was that the Five Organs Purge-Turbidity Revive-Yang Scripture was the general outline of the "Pure Yang Sect" martial arts. The first volume explained the principles and essentials, while the second volume explained the internal training of the five viscera. Although there were no fist and sword manuals, the principles and essentials contained within were the cornerstone of the Pure Yang Sect's martial arts.

However, it has undergone many years of transformation.

The Pure Yang Sect has undergone several reforms, and the "Five Organs Purge-Turbidity Revive-Yang Scripture" is no longer pure. Although what Li Xian practiced was pure, it could only be used as an auxiliary method.

Turbidity-Avoidance, generates blood, and strengthens the body.

Since Li Xian began Dragon-Appreciation Banquet, he has gained much along the way. However, he has encountered many storms and dangers and has no time to sort them out.

Dusk was approaching in the blink of an eye.

The men who had been traveling together to escape the summer heat and bathe in the lake had all left. Li Xian, who had been sitting cross-legged for a long time, turned his body, making a series of sharp "crackling" sounds.

He reorganized his belongings, eating dry biscuits as he pondered.

Four Directions Fist, Clearwind Leg, Jade Luo Palm, Great Luo Saber, Wonder Cloud Hand, Iron-Copper Body, Heavenly Thunder Finger, Vastmist Leg, Seven-Star Step, Waning Sun Blood-Draining Sword...

Except for the "Seven-Star Step", all other techniques have Peak Mastery.

Recently, he also acquired the "Finger Sword" and "Yang Immortal Melody" traits. Li Xian is so engrossed in the gentle embrace of love that he has not yet tested these traits.

Li Xian attempted to play Celestial Note. Starting from Jiaji Pass, the Celestial Note was magnificent and surging. The surrounding heat waves rolled and even scorched the weeds.

Li Xian's body was like hot iron. This wondrous effect of "Yang Immortal Melody" made his body scalding hot.

"When facing an enemy, if someone strikes me... then, if I could use the force of the blow to vibrate my bones and create Celestial Note, my body would instantly become as hot as iron, and so on..."

"The enemy's palm is scorched; he's injured instantly!"

Li Xian's eyes shone brightly, his mind brimming with ingenious ideas. He imagined an opponent appearing before him, unleashing a bizarre and unpredictable attack, and devised strategies to counter and neutralize it...

But I feel that Martial Dao have endless wonderful applications.

The setting sun was about to disappear, and the sky grew dark.

The Five Organs Turbidity Circulation to generate blood and strengthen the body. When transporting impurities from the stomach, the stomach peristalsis becomes very intense, further arousing hunger. Li Xian had already eaten three coarse cakes, but could not quell his hunger. He had no choice but to eat some meat to relieve his hunger.

They then hunted wild rabbits, birds, beasts, and snakes.

The vegetation is lush and green, and the shrubs are dense.

Li Xian picked up a branch and slapped it against the bushes. The poisonous snake was startled and fled. Li Xian then picked up a pebble and used the "Cloud-Soaring Hand" technique to Throwing Strike. The pebble Inner Qi and was extremely accurate.

The blow landed three inches from the snake's body. The snake twisted and struggled, then died.

Li Xian picked up the venomous snake, put it in his cloth bag, and then, using the same trick again, deliberately headed towards damp, sweltering areas with dense bushes.

Before long, three venomous snakes had been caught.

Li Xian weighed the meat in his hand; it wasn't even three ounces. He was extremely hungry and estimated he could eat five pounds of tiger meat, with a few poisonous snakes barely enough to fill his teeth.

He continued his search. In a short time, he had hunted four rabbits and seven birds and beasts. Li Xian was extremely skilled at hunting and could have hunted wild boars, deer, tigers, and other animals. However, the process would have been too troublesome and would have left a trail, so he did not attempt it.

They returned with a full load.

Li Xian lit a campfire. He cut down trees for firewood and bamboo to make pots.

He quickly prepared the snake, rabbit, and bird, skinning the snake, gutting the rabbit, and plucking the bird's feathers. His movements were skillful, and by then the water had boiled.

They then placed the two snakes, the rabbit, and the bird into a bamboo pot and boiled them. They sprinkled on fragrant seasonings and some wild herbs.

There are jujube and peach groves nearby.

Li Xian used what was available, picking some peaches and dates, washing them clean, and throwing them into a bamboo pot. Before long, a fragrant aroma filled the air, and the taste was indescribably sweet.

The wild seafood soup was ready. Li Xian took a small sip; the soup was fresh, sweet, and refreshing, with a hint of earthy flavor. It was very appetizing.

[You consume wild game; your skill Proficiency in Consumption increases by 1.]

[Culinary Skills]

[Proficiency: 1966/3000 Minor Accomplishment]

Li Xian showcased his culinary skills, roasting, stewing, and cooking in a traditional style. He roasted the wild rabbit until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a glossy sheen.

They ate heartily, devouring several pieces of fragrant meat, which relieved their long hunger.

Juices flowed freely, and the meat was tender and smooth.

Four wild rabbits, five poisonous snakes, and seven birds and beasts were all devoured. Li Xian ate two more dry biscuits, and his cravings finally subsided.

Li Xian sat on a boulder, a blade of grass between his teeth, enjoying the gentle breeze and the bright moonlight.

After a moment of idle thought, I patted my belly, feeling refreshed, and set off again.

The night was cool.

Li Xian walked several more miles when he suddenly smelled a faint Blood Qi. Following the scent, he saw a figure hanging upside down from a tree branch.

The man was dressed in coarse linen clothes and wore tattered straw sandals. He was hanging upside down, head down and feet up. A gentle breeze blew by, and his body swayed slightly.

There was no breath; he was dead.

Li Xian paused, recognizing the familiar attire. He recalled seeing several men swimming in the lake earlier that day to cool off, one of whom was this man. He had been full of life then, but now he was a dried-up corpse.

Li Xian used the "Seven-Star Step" to leap onto the treetop. He saw that the person's feet were tightly bound by vines and tied to a branch. There were abrasions and bruises on his ankles, which were obviously caused before he died.

"Bandit?"

In times of chaos, remote mountain areas are prone to banditry. Mountain bandits are ruthless; it is commonplace for them to capture merchants and passersby, tear out their hearts and livers, and eat them raw.

Hanging someone upside down to bleed them out is indeed a form of torture. Although Li Xian was young, he had seen and heard a great deal during his escape and had already gained a general understanding of the ways of the world.

"Mountain bandits are vicious and cruel; if I see them, I will kill them without hesitation. But mountain bandits are extremely poor; after taking out their hearts and livers, they usually don't even leave behind their clothes."

"This man is still dressed, so it's unlikely to be the work of bandits. Hmm... he was ambushed and killed. I was traveling with him, so I might also be attacked. Let's see how he dies; even if we encounter a strong opponent, it'll be good to be prepared."

Li Xian cut the vines and laid the corpse flat on the ground. Suddenly, he heard several "crack" sounds as the corpse cracked open.

Li Xian pondered, "This person seems to have died from being sucked dry. But even the bone marrow and water... were drained away. The entire corpse is like charcoal. What an eerie martial art! If you encounter it... you must be extremely careful!"

Suddenly, footsteps approached.

Li Xian hid in the bushes, held his breath, and observed secretly.

Two people hurried closer and said:

"Ah, Brother Wang... we're late again. That Black-Faced Bat King has escaped after committing the crime."

The voice was clear and crisp, and it came from a woman.

"Yes, the Black-Faced Bat King is extremely skilled in agility; catching him will be no easy feat."

"Brother Wang, what should we do now?"

"We'll have to return to Embroidery City first and discuss it properly then."

"This Black-Faced Bat King is truly cunning; its blood-sucking skills are incredibly powerful. You know, this corpse only has one external wound on its neck, just two small holes. How could it suck out a person's blood and bone marrow in just a few breaths?"

"The Black-Faced Bat King is no ordinary man. His unorthodox martial arts have gradually become a sect. Look at this corpse; its liver and spleen were shattered by a single palm strike, causing its blood circulation to become disordered. This is the Black-Faced Bat King's signature move, called ' Blood-Surging Palm.' He combines several martial arts techniques, making it extremely powerful."

"But he messed with the wrong person; he killed Miss Luo Household."

"Silly girl... he didn't mess with the wrong person, but... he has Human Yellow Essence Treasure, the ninety-ninth [Yellow Nine Ginseng]."

The two men spoke in hushed tones.

at the same time.

Wen Caishang took the secret medicine, and the "Qi-Eating Gu" severed three legs and one head. Her strength has recovered to half of what it was before.

She recalled Uncle Xiang to manage the manor. She also called back all the Guard and other staff to prepare for the relocation of the manor.

"That scoundrel... you can't catch him. I'll have to take matters into my own hands."

Wen Caishang gazed into the distance, a mixture of coquettishness and anger in her eyes, and said, "Do you think I didn't expect you to plan to run away? I wanted to find you, but it was so easy. Li Lang... you'll have to explain yourself properly then."

They left the village overnight to search for Ancestor Silkworm.
