Young Hero Guo, It Really Is You?

"The Blood Qi and qi have become one!"

In the courtyard, Zhang Zhengci gleamed with admiration as he telepathically transmitted his voice to Zhang Qinghe, "The Yu Tunzhou, drawing inspiration from the Fist Intent, and with a profound understanding, he created a new style of boxing. Now, using this style, he has unified his scattered Blood Qi into a single force, officially entering the Form Refinement Lesser Accomplishment!"

"That punch just now could definitely be included in the lineages of various schools as Secret Method for unifying Blood Qi and qi."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qinghe exclaimed in surprise, "Second Uncle means that the fist technique just now can allow a martial artist who has mastered the basics of muscle, bone, and skin to touch the threshold of the condensation of Blood Qi?"

"Indeed, this punch perfectly illustrates the transformation between movement and stillness, combining hardness and softness—truly exquisite," Zhang Zhengci. "This young man's skill in boxing is indeed astonishing, far surpassing others in his realm. In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before he grasps the principles of boxing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhengci suddenly frowned, looked in a certain direction, and transmitted his voice, "You stay here and guard him. Don't let anyone else disturb him. I have some things to take care of."

After saying that, he had already silently disappeared.

Zhang Qinghe glanced in the direction his second uncle had gone and saw that it was the county government office. He didn't think much of it and waited for Tunzhou to withdraw his fist.

Looking at the figure before him, brimming with the power of Fist Intent, Zhang Qinghe felt a complex mix of emotions. He probably wouldn't have a chance to catch up to this guy in his lifetime.

Just because you can't catch up doesn't mean you have to stop.

We can't let ourselves get so far ahead that we can't even see their backs anymore, can we?

Yu Tunzhou slowly withdrew his Fist Intent, finally opening his eyes. As his muscles and bones trembled, his Blood Qi surged, and faint sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls came from the depths of his flesh and bones. Then, it seemed as if countless Blood Qi flowed out from his acupoints, gathering into a straight upward wisp of smoke, condensed but not scattered, surging but not fierce.

Blood Qi and smoke!

At this point, the Yu Tunzhou Form Refinement has reached a minor completion stage. It only needs to nourish the five internal organs and further strengthen the Blood Qi and qi before it can attempt to condense the Blood Qi Furnace.

Yu Tunzhou clenched his fist, it was only a matter of time before his Blood Qi surged together. In comparison, he finally created the first fist move based on his own Fist Intent.

[Ten-Thousand-Ren High Mountain].

This style of boxing perfectly captures the transformation between stillness and movement. The fist moves in an opening and closing motion. When closing, the body is as immovable as a towering peak, and when opening, it is like a mountain collapsing.

For him, this punch was far superior to Chain Forming Fist Art such as Subduing the Dragon and Taming the Tiger.

After becoming familiar with the transformation after the Blood Qi and qi were unified, Yu Tunzhou asked Zhang Qinghe again.

He wanted to know more details, such as where the Old Mo had gone.

Zhang Qinghe said helplessly, "Then you'll have to go find my cousin, and then have my cousin go find her master. At the moment, probably only Dharma Aspect expert knows about this."

Yu Tunzhou lamented, "Cao Jianjia has probably already returned to the Nanhua Sect by now, hasn't he?"

The Nanhua Sect is located at the border between the Southern Victorious Continent and the Central Plains, while his current goal is to go to the Northern Plains, which can be described as going to the south and the north.

"Let's talk about the autumn hunt," Yu Tunzhou said. "Old Xie isn't participating?"

He was somewhat disappointed to hear that Xie Linchuan was unable to keep the appointment. If he hadn't heard about the Human Emperor's Tomb, he wouldn't have wanted to make the trip at all.

Upon hearing the mention of the autumn hunt, Zhang Qinghe immediately became interested. "The autumn hunt is a traditional activity among the Aristocratic Clan. It serves not only to showcase their younger generation to other families but also to test and hone the courage and skills of their own juniors, reminding them that in this world, martial arts still reign supreme."

Yu Tunzhou nodded. "The major Aristocratic Clan and clans really emphasize practical combat skills in training their disciples."

"It's located in Northern Plains because Northern Plains is also known as Northern Garden," and in High Antiquity times, this was the pasture of the Human Emperor.

"Of course, our autumn hunt won't be held across the entire Northern Plains, but only in the Northern Sea Forest, the northernmost part of the Northern Plains, where some uncivilized Demon Beast reside. Their blood is a valuable medicine for those in the Chain Forming Stage. At that time, the major Aristocratic Clan of the Northern Garden will also send some High Antiquity clans to the hunting grounds."

"Introduce some High Antiquity remnants?" Yu Tunzhou asked doubtfully.

Zhang Qinghe nodded and said, "We are in the Central Plains, so you naturally can't see those guys. But the borders of the Great Yan, especially the defense lines of the four continents, are constantly being attacked by High Antiquity clans. They regard the border defense lines as training grounds, so we naturally don't hold back. These High Antiquity clansmen who have joined us were all captured or seized on the border. They were bought by the major Aristocratic Clan to hone the younger generation in their families."

Yu Tunzhou nodded; it turned out they were High Antiquity remnants captured from the frontier.

"The Northern Plains Autumn Hunt isn't particularly high-profile; besides the scions of the major Aristocratic Clan, disciples from certain sects that have friendly relations with these Aristocratic Clan are also invited."

"Their strength is mostly between the initial Form Refinement and the Form Refinement Greater Accomplishment; they are all juniors who haven't yet ventured into the martial world."

Thinking that Yu Tunzhou already possessed the strength to directly contend with top experts on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking even before breaking through to the Form Refinement Lesser Accomplishment, Zhang Qinghe couldn't help but grin and say, "Wang Jingcong and Liu Yiyi will also participate in this Autumn Hunt. With you here, we're sure to achieve a great victory!"

Yu Tunzhou wasn't particularly interested in the great victory at the Autumn Hunt; he was more curious about whether the Human Emperor's Tomb was located in the Northern Sea Forest.

When do we set off?

"Not so early, there are still more than two months." Zhang Qinghe thought for a moment, "You come back to the Zhang Household with me for two months first. I also need to try to complete my skin and tendon training before the autumn hunt. Then we'll take a ferry there."

"A ferry?" Yu Tunzhou was taken aback. "You can stay at your place for two months before you leave, is that enough time?"

"Of course we'll make it," Zhang Qinghe chuckled. "Have you ever ridden a flying ship?"

Yu Tunzhou looked astonished. "A spaceship?"

"You'll find out then!" Zhang Qinghe said mysteriously, keeping everyone in suspense. "In a couple of days, after my second uncle finishes his work, he'll return to the county town and find you a few sparring partners who have reached the Form Refinement Greater Accomplishment."

Yu Tunzhou nodded casually, his gaze drifting towards the outside of the mansion.

From the moment I finished retracting my fist and focused my mind, that inexplicable, familiar feeling of attraction resurfaced in my heart.

It grew stronger and stronger, as if something in some corner of the county town was calling to him.

Now that he had encountered Zhang Qinghe, he was no longer in a hurry to continue his journey. Why not go and take a look?

Half an hour later.

Following a the Unseen, Yu Tunzhou stood before the gate of the county government office.

Looking at the plaque that read "A Clear Mirror Hangs High" and the two stone lions standing at the entrance, his lips twitched, and he turned to leave.

But the moment he turned around, the the Unseen resonance suddenly surged, and the Spark Instruction within his Dantian began to operate uncontrollably on its own.

Is it related to the "Spark Instruction"?!

Yu Tunzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped in his tracks instantly.

Could it be related to the Human Emperor?!

The Incense-Smelling Cult has recently been active in Pinghu County, and even boasts experts like Zhang Yan, who are listed on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking.

The Incense-Smelling Cult has been searching for the Human Emperor's Tomb.

A startling guess instantly formed in his mind.

Could there really be a clue to the Human Emperor's Tomb in Pinghu County, right here in this government office?

But why in the government office?

Could it be that the authorities discovered it long ago?

As he pondered...

"Nephew Yu?" Zhang Zhengci walked out of the yamen gate, his face showing surprise, then said loudly, "You've come to find those chivalrous heroes of the martial world?"

Yu Tunzhou blinked, seizing the opportunity to back down, and said, "Senior Zhang, I would like to meet those gentlemen. I wonder if you could do me the favor?"

"Since you're on good terms with Qinghe, why don't you also call me Second Uncle?" Zhang Zhengci didn't agree, but instead smiled and said.

Yu Tunzhou's thoughts shifted, and he smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble Zhang Er."

Zhang Zhengci laughed heartily and tossed over a warm, smooth jade pendant. "Nephew, take this. This jade pendant will grant you free passage throughout the entire Jade River Commandery! Even the government can't stop you!"

Yu Tunzhou accepted the jade pendant, thanked him, and inwardly grumbled that he seemed to have more and more identity documents on him.

If things continue like this, will he one day be able to become a VIP guest anywhere in the Great Yan Dynasty?

Holding the jade pendant given to him by Zhang Household's second uncle, Yu Tunzhou walked straight into the yamen (government office), looking left and right. It was his first time entering a government office.

Come to think of it, he never seemed to have been to a police station in his past life?

There were hardly any people in the yamen; it was unclear whether they had gone out. The yamen runners on duty at the gate, upon seeing the jade pendant in his hand, practically invited him inside.

He looked around, following his increasingly strong feeling, and quickly walked towards the southwest corner.

Suddenly.

At the corner, he bumped into a man in brocade robes. The man looked hurried, his brows furrowed, as if he were pondering a difficult problem.

After being bumped into, the man looked furious and was about to reprimand him, but he paused when he saw Yu Tunzhou's face.

"I'm sorry," Yu Tunzhou apologized.

The man looked strange, then ignored him and walked away without saying a word.

Yu Tunzhou watched the man's retreating figure; this guy seemed a bit strange.

He didn't have time to think about it further and continued to follow the echo, walking quickly forward. When he finally stopped, he was shocked to discover that the source of the pull was in the dungeon in the southwest corner of the county government office!

On the other side...

The man who had just bumped into Yu Tunzhou strode into a secluded room deep inside the county government office.

Several Gold-Wielding Guard respectfully said:

--

"Grown ups."

The man was none other than Wei Xian, the head of the local Gold-Wielding Guard. He waved his hand, frowned, and said, "Why is Yu Tunzhou here at the yamen? Didn't I tell you not to touch him?"

The group looked at each other, bewildered. "Sir," they said, "We haven't gone out today."

"Oh?" Wei Xian turned around and looked in the direction he came from. Yu Tunzhou came alone?

The commander had instructed him to ignore the boy and not provoke him, so after recognizing the boy's face, he left without paying him any attention.

"Sir, should we bring this boy here for questioning?" a member of the Gold-Wielding Guard asked in a deep voice.

Wei Xian thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Don't pay any attention to him. If you run into him again, just pretend you didn't see him."

"Yes!"

Holding the jade pendant given to him by Zhang Zhengci, Yu Tunzhou won over the jailer at the dungeon entrance without uttering a word.

--

The latter had originally wanted to accompany him, but Yu Tunzhou waved his hand in refusal and walked alone into the cold and damp dungeon.

The further they went, the stronger the sense of connection became. Following his instincts, Yu Tunzhou soon stopped in front of an empty cell.

He glanced around to make sure no one was in the neighboring cells, then skillfully broke the lock on the door and slipped into the cell. Under a loose piece of bluestone in the corner, he found a fragment.

The fragment was made of an unknown material, neither gold nor jade, and it was warm to the touch. Its surface shimmered with a very faint, ethereal light, which remained warm and bright even in the darkness of the dungeon.

Before he could examine it closely, the fragment suddenly vanished from his hand, and his [Spark Instruction] activated on its own!

The six-zhang vortex of energy had barely unfolded when he forcibly suppressed it, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

The next instant, he clearly sensed that the fragment had pierced straight into his Dantian!

This unusual movement alone was enough for Yu Tunzhou to determine that this thing was no ordinary item!

Could this truly be a relic of the Human Emperor? But why would it be hidden in this dungeon?

Yu Tunzhou quickly walked out of the cell, focusing his mind on his Dantian, and then found the chivalrous men from that morning to play along with the whole act.

Everyone gradually woke up from their unconsciousness and gathered together to angrily curse Zhang Yi and Li Wu.

When they saw Yu Tunzhou arrive, everyone was overjoyed and bowed to him through the prison door to express their gratitude for saving their lives.

Yu Tunzhou comforted everyone, saying that they would be released once the government office finished its investigation.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly. His Primordial Azure One Qi seemed to blow away the dust from the surface of the fragments, revealing lines of incomplete and profound ancient characters underneath.

He composed himself, exchanged a few more pleasantries with everyone, and then hurriedly took his leave.

After leaving the county government office, he hurried back to the Zhang Household's residence in the county town, found Zhang Qinghe, and asked for a secret room where he would not be disturbed.

Soon, he sat cross-legged on the futon, focusing all his attention on his Dantian, carefully observing the changes in the fragment.

The fragment's surface revealed fragmented and mysterious characters, but Yu Tunzhou couldn't decipher a single one.

This feeling is so familiar...

Yu Tunzhou remained silent for a while, his consciousness drifting to the depths of his mind as he looked at the two large Buddha statues.

Since mastering Taijiquan, these two have been relatively quiet, especially [Book of Changes], who seems to have fallen into a deep sleep.

After thinking it over, Yu Tunzhou decided to invite the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic) to come out of seclusion.

In an instant, countless golden scriptures flowed from the depths of his mind, like golden chains, directly probing into his Dantian and firmly imprisoning the fragment within.

The scriptures flowed, and golden light bathed every ancient character on the fragments.

A moment later, a fragmented method appeared in his mind.

Since the methods are incomplete, the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic) naturally cannot be created out of thin air; only the corresponding content has been analyzed.

With his limited perspective, Yu Tunzhou couldn't discern what kind of method this was for the time being, so he could only keep it safe for now.

In the following days...

Yu Tunzhou was observing the fragment in that Dantian.

During this time, he tried to run the [Spark Instruction], and the fragment faintly emitted a ghostly light, but no other abnormalities were observed for the time being.

As expected, this item may indeed have been left behind by the Human Emperor.

A few days later, late at night.

South of the city, the Wang Household residence, front room.

Zhang Yan's injuries have improved considerably, but her complexion is still somewhat pale.

At this moment, the young master, who Dragon and Tiger Ranking, stood with Wang Fujing with eyes full of respect, waiting for the arrival of a certain important person.

Suddenly, a soft, silvery tinkling sound rang out.

The bell's sound was ethereal, sometimes near, sometimes far, as if it came from the alleyway outside the courtyard, or as if it were ringing right next to my ear; it was clear and cold, and exceptionally distinct in the quiet of the night.

The two looked excited and turned to the door, but the door remained tightly shut, not even a breeze could get in, let alone anyone in sight.

--

--

Zhang Yan suddenly turned around abruptly, her pupils shrinking, and saw that a young girl had already sat down in the main seat.

She wore a plain white long dress with wide sleeves, her black hair was loosely tied into a Daoist bun, and a plain silver hairpin was inserted. There was not a single pearl or jade adornment on her body. But when she sat there, she exuded a solemn and holy aura, as if the Eternal Mother Wuji had descended to earth, making people dare not look directly at her.

Upon seeing that long dress, Zhang Yan immediately lowered her eyes, not daring to look up even a fraction. Her voice, fervent and hoarse, cried out, "Zhang Yan greets the Holy Maiden! Welcome, Holy Maiden!"

Wang Fujing then turned around, wiped the sweat from his brow, carefully examined the girl before him, bowed, and said in a deep voice, "Wang Fujing greets the Holy Maiden!"

The young woman looked up, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Uncle Wang, it's been a long time. We're all family, no need for such formalities."

Wang Fujing then stood up and looked at the graceful and beautiful young woman in front of him, a hint of satisfaction unconsciously rising in his eyes.

I am aware of the situation.

An Ruyu gently stroked the armrest of the chair with her fingertips, and asked with a hint of interest, "Zhang Yan, what did the person who injured you look like?"

"He's a young man, probably not even of age yet, and as for his appearance, there's nothing particularly noteworthy about him." Zhang Yan said hoarsely, her forehead pressed to the ground, "Zhang Yan has failed in her duties and has let down the Holy Maiden's expectations!"

Wang Fujing said, "That young man seems to be an old acquaintance of the Zhang Household. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I haven't investigated him much recently."

An Ruyu nodded and asked, "Uncle, have you found the fragments of the ' Law Seals ' that the Left Envoy hid back then?"

"It should be located within the government office in Pinghu County, but its exact location still needs to be investigated."

An Ruyu seemed to be deep in thought. With a flick of her finger, a lustrous white pill flew out and landed steadily in front of Zhang Yan.

"Take this Cold Marrow Origin-Stabilizing Pill and suppress your injuries as soon as possible. Then come with me into the government office to search for the location of the Law Seals fragments."

"Thank you for your generous gift, Holy Maiden!" Zhang Yan kowtowed deeply.

Wang Fujing frowned, about to speak and dissuade her, but was interrupted by the girl.

"Uncle Wang, your operations in Pinghu County have been going on for many years; your identity has already been exposed."

An Ruyu's tone remained gentle, yet carried an undeniable decisiveness, "Tomorrow morning, brothers from the sect will come to meet you. You should retreat to the main altar first; leave things here to me."

Wang Fujing's lips moved slightly. He looked up and saw a young girl sitting in the main seat amidst the flickering candlelight. Half of her pure white figure was bathed in the warm glow, her appearance dignified and untouched by worldly concerns, while the other half was shrouded in shadow, exuding a dangerous aura.

Wang Fujing felt inexplicably saddened, but ultimately remained silent and bowed in agreement. "Yes, Your subordinate obeys."

It was the third watch of the night.

The candlelight flickered gently on the desk, casting the motionless shadow of Yu Tunzhou sitting quietly on the wall.

A soft, unhurried knocking sound suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Nephew Yu, I apologize for disturbing you so late at night."

It was Zhang Zhengci, the second uncle of the Zhang Household.

Yu Tunzhou's mind stirred slightly. He withdrew his inner energy and said, "Zhang Er, please come in."

The wooden door creaked open, and Zhang Zhengci slowly entered, carrying a medicine tray with five sealed mutton-fat jade bottles neatly arranged on it. The bottles were lustrous and clearly contained extraordinary items.

"What does Zhang Er mean by this?" Yu Tunzhou asked.

"It's nothing more than some elixirs to nourish the internal organs and strengthen the Qi and Blood. Consider it payment from my Zhang Household for hiring my nephew Yu to accompany Qinghe during the autumn hunt."

Zhang Zhengci smiled faintly, raised his hand and pushed the medicine tray in front of Yu Tunzhou. His movements were calm, yet carried an undeniable certainty. "If you feel that you and Qinghe are friends and shouldn't do this, then consider it a small gift from the Zhang Household."

Then, he said softly, "I hope my nephew Yu can give Qinghe some guidance. Qinghe is good in every way, but sometimes he is too idealistic."

"Young masters from the Aristocratic Clan are never afraid of having ambition; what they fear is having no vision and no ambition whatsoever. You have a great influence on Qinghe, so I hope that on this trip you can guide him a bit more."

Yu Tunzhou pondered for a moment, then stood up, cupped his hands, and said earnestly, "I understand Zhang Er's meaning, and I will certainly do my best."

Seeing his sincere answer, without the slightest hint of evasion, Zhang Zhengci also showed a genuine smile, and changed the subject, saying, "Nephew Yu, do you have the leisure to come outside with me for a few exchanges?"

Yu Tunzhou understood; this person wanted to give him some pointers.

"Nature."

He had thought it would just be a few exchanges in the courtyard, but Zhang Zhengci took him directly outside the city.

It was past midnight, and the night wind was chilly, carrying the dampness of the river water.

Standing atop the rocks by the riverbank, Zhang Zhengci's previously gentle and reserved demeanor as an elder of the Aristocratic Clan suddenly changed.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his figure seemingly merging with the surging river behind him, exuding not a trace of fierce killing intent, but a calm and vastness like the tide flowing into the sea.

It was as if he alone had subdued the entire ceaselessly flowing river.

Zhang Zhengci smiled and said, "Nephew Yu, the martial art passed down by the Jade River Zhang Clan is the [Surging Waves Returning to One Palm], which is High Antiquity external External Scenery technique. Although my talent is average and I am only at the Middle Divine Ability Stage, I have mastered half of the External Scenery Divine Ability through years of hard work and comprehension. Today, I will let you experience the true External Scenery Divine Ability."

Yu Tunzhou solemnly replied, "Please enlighten me Zhang Er."

Zhang Zhengci slowly raised his right hand.

With palms down and fingers slightly spread, there was no earth-shattering burst of Inner Qi, yet the howling night wind on the river suddenly stopped.

The surging river seemed to freeze in mid-air, and even the moonlight that fell on the river tonight seemed to be fixed in place.

It was as if everything was firmly locked down by the intent behind his unleashed palm strike.

"Nephew Yu, at the Divine Ability Realm, when your Blood Qi and Inner Qi combine, you can transform them into Gang Qi(Gang Qi is a type of Primordial Spirit that can be combined with your primordial spirit), only then can you truly unleash some of the power of your Divine Ability. And what we call Divine Ability are the power of heaven and earth."

Zhang Zhengci's voice was steady, yet it carried a penetrating power, each word landing in Yu Tunzhou's ears.

Before he finished speaking, a faint, clear, watery sheen appeared on his palm.

It was just a glimmer of water in the palm of my hand, yet it evoked a sense of vastness, like a boundless ocean, encompassing all rivers, as if it contained the power of the entire river and the waters of the four seas and eight wastelands.

"This half-form of my External Scenery Divine Ability is called [Surging Waves Absorbing Rivers], which is the starting stance of [Surging Waves Returning to One Palm] and the foundation of External Scenery Divine Ability."

Zhang Zhengci slowly raised his hand, and in an instant, the entire river surged like a raging torrent, the waves that had solidified on the surface crashing down with his movement!

Immediately afterwards, the entire surging river seemed to come alive!

A towering wave, several meters high, rose from the river surface, roaring skyward in response to his raised hand!

The waves surged and roared, creating a deafening roar. He manipulated the entire river with just one hand, suspending it in mid-air!

Such power is no longer the courage of human flesh Blood Qi, but the might of heaven and earth!

Amidst such turmoil, Zhang Zhengci remained unmoved, his hair not even fluttering, and remarked with a sigh, "I can only sustain this move for a few breaths. If it were a member of my Zhang Household's External Scenery, it would far surpass mine, capable of manipulating the entire river at will."

As soon as he finished speaking, he gently closed his palm.

The towering waves, suspended in mid-air, instantly fell back to the river surface, making only a soft splash.

The night breeze blew across the river again, creating faint ripples, as if the raging tide that had seemed to swallow the heavens and the earth was just an illusion.

Yu Tunzhou's eyes are piercing.

Divine Ability, this is true Divine Ability!

Even though he was Dao and Virtue upright in the past, the concepts of law and reason were still very close at hand, yet also extremely vague.

But today, standing on the riverbank, watching Zhang Zhengci use his Divine Ability to manipulate the entire river, he instantly understood part of the key.

The laws of heaven and earth are indeed omnipresent, which is why he feels they are so close at hand. But how can he access and master these laws?

He asked the question.

"To bear and interfere with the principles of law is to reflect the External Scenery world through one's own inner Inner View," Zhang Zhengci explained. "Therefore, qi, Primordial Spirit, and Inner Qi —all things of the self—can come into contact with and contain the principles of law of heaven and earth."

"The best vessel for this is actually the Primordial Spirit, but if one's cultivation level is insufficient, releasing the Primordial Spirit is far too dangerous, tantamount to suicide."

"For the physical body to bear the principles of law, it must open its seven orifices and cleanse itself of acquired impurities. The reason why those in the Divine Ability Realm can master Flesh and Blood Divine Ability is that after the Form Refinement is completed, they begin to inscribe the principles of law onto their physical body."

"As for Inner Qi, to interfere with the External Scenery world, one must combine Blood Qi, refine them into Gang Qi, and then control it with the Primordial Spirit before one can begin to interfere with the External Scenery world."

"Nephew, you possess Immortal Foundation, Immortal Foundation Divine Ability are all at the External Scenery level, incomparable to those of Flesh and Blood Divine Ability. Therefore, it is normal that you cannot unleash the full power of your Divine Ability abilities at this moment; there is no need to worry."

"Throughout history, Immortal Seed have only been able to unleash the true power of their Divine Ability after reaching the Form Refinement Perfection, opening their seven orifices, and condensing their Gang Qi ahead of time."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tunzhou seemed to understand. No wonder he felt the legal principles were vague; it was because he was not yet qualified to uphold them.

Just as he was about to ask for further advice, a furious roar suddenly came from within the county town, "An Ruyu?! How dare you sneak into my Pinghu County!"

Zhang Zhengci's expression changed drastically. Without pausing, he leaped up and headed towards the county town. At the same time, a secret voice transmission entered Yu Tunzhou's ears. "Nephew! Quickly take Qinghe away from Pinghu County and head to the prefectural city!"

"An Ruyu is the Holy Maiden of the Incense-Smelling Cult, ranked third on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. The constables in the yamen are no match for her, and even Wei Xian, the only Gold-Wielding Guard, is no match for her. Even if Wei Xian and I join forces, we can only barely hold on and cannot help others."

"Don't linger, leave immediately!"

Yu Tunzhou's expression also changed.

Without hesitation, he rushed into the city and hurried back to his residence. Zhang Qinghe and the others had already been awakened by the commotion at the county government office.

Most of the other martial artists from the Zhang Household had already rushed to the yamen to provide protection, leaving only two people to guard Zhang Qinghe.

"You all go help my second uncle, the Tunzhou is enough here!"

Seeing the Yu Tunzhou, Zhang Qinghe hurriedly gave instructions.

The two guards bowed to Yu Tunzhou and then hurried towards the yamen (government office).

Yu Tunzhou rushed back to the house, grabbed his things, and explained the situation to Zhang Qinghe.

Zhang Qinghe decisively said, "Let's go! We don't know how many people the Incense-Smelling Cult has sent. They won't target ordinary people, but they won't let you and me go. Second Uncle and the Gold-Wielding Guard are working together, so we should be able to protect ourselves. You and I will go to the surrounding counties to seek help!"

The two left the mansion and walked out of the city along a small path.

On the road.

Yu Tunzhou asked, "Are there any other experts from the Zhang Household nearby?"

"Where did all these experts come from!"

Zhang Qinghe smiled wryly, "There are only two people in the Zhang Household's External Scenery. Usually, one is stationed in the county seat, and the other patrols Jade River Commandery. Although there are many people at the Divine Ability Realm, they need to oversee businesses in various places, and we don't have much business in Pinghu County. This time, my second uncle picked me up to return home and also took me to Pinghu County to investigate."

Who would have thought that An Ruyu would actually show up!

Yu Tunzhou suddenly stopped, and the Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist gradually emitted a warning signal.

His expression turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Qinghe, you go first!"

While Zhang Qinghe was still puzzled, a beautiful figure in white suddenly appeared in front of him.

Under the moonlight, the girl's features were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, and her bright, clear eyes blinked as if in delight, "Young Hero Guo, is it really you?"
