Chapter 70 Old Yue is here?!
Fifteen minutes later, the place was deserted.
Instead of heading west to Qingcheng Mountain, the group escorted the Qingcheng disciples eastward straight to Fuwei Escort Agency.
Li Che wandered around for a long time but couldn't find the other two senior uncles from Songshan.
He also thought that since Ren Yingying was in Fuzhou, Xiang Wentian would definitely go there to meet her, so he couldn't stay here any longer.
The Xianxia Ridge event was just an appetizer.
The Songshan Sect knew the source was the Fuwei Escort Agency.
Yu Canghai had been defending himself all the way since he was being chased.
Now that the Qingcheng Sect is almost extinct and the Songshan Sect is not to be trifled with, the Fuwei Escort Agency will definitely be pushed to the forefront.
Li Che had already figured it out: if Fuwei Escort Agency wanted to escape, it needed a sword manual, and it had to be a genuine sword manual!
More importantly, it's about making everyone believe that this is the real sword manual!
The sword manual that Yu Canghai revealed tonight has been seen by Xiang Wentian, the Songshan Sect, and anyone who handled it must have seen it as well.
When the two are compared, the sword manual will be so real that you'll have to believe it whether you want to or not.
Regardless of who ultimately obtains the sword manual, the Fuwei Escort Agency will definitely extricate itself from this vortex.
As for those who are greedy enough to die, those without strength dare not, and among those with strength, who is a good person?!
Don't be fooled by the fact that the group of people who were shouting about going to Fuwei Escort Agency were all incredibly loud.
In Li Che's view, there are not many who have the strength to compete, otherwise they would not be gathered here to interrogate the Qingcheng disciples, but would be going to snatch the Songshan Taibao and kill those six monsters.
They wouldn't have surrounded Yu Canghai earlier, waiting for someone else to strike first.
In the world of martial arts, most people are just there to watch the show; the greedy ones are now lying in the woods.
The bustling Xianxia Ridge, which had been noisy for half the night, finally quieted down.
Li Che had only been gone for a quarter of an hour when another figure rushed out onto the road.
The newcomer was breathing unsteadily, his hair was askew, his outfit had several holes, and there was a mud imprint on his waist and back.
Chung Jin held a broadsword in his right hand, the blood on the blade still wet, dripping down the tip and drawing a thin line of blood behind him.
He glanced around, listened carefully for a moment, and then pulled a bamboo tube about half a foot long from his chest.
This is a signal firework specially made by the Songshan School.
Just as he was about to light the wick, he hesitated again.
Others might not care, but if Xiang Wentian were still hiding nearby, he might not be able to defeat him alone.
After thinking for a moment, he put away the bamboo tube, lit a bonfire, and disappeared into the forest.
After waiting for a full half hour, another figure strode quickly from the west.
"Junior Brother Gao?"
"Senior Brother Zhong, it's me!"
The two met up, sized each other up, and realized that neither was much better than the other.
There were no major injuries, but quite a few minor ones. Overall, they were not seriously hurt, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Could you obtain the sword manual?"
Gao Kexin took something out of his pocket; it was one of the four sections of the kasaya.
However, after waiting for a long time, Senior Brother Zhong Zhen only took out one cassock. He sighed and said, "It's hateful that those six strange men divided the sword manual into six parts and swallowed it whole in front of everyone. We lost one of them, so all our hard work lasted all night for nothing!"
The two men tried to piece the sword manuals together by the firelight, and after comparing them for a long time, they realized that they should be two diagonally opposite copies.
"Senior brother, you are skilled with a sword, do you think this sword manual is genuine or fake?"
Zhong Zhen read it carefully twice, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. It wasn't until the time it takes to drink a cup of tea that he finally spoke: "It's hard to say!"
It is indeed a sword technique, but it is incoherent and obscure. However, upon closer examination, it seems to contain profound meaning.
The person who can master this technique must be a master swordsman. Given your limited understanding, it's truly difficult for you to grasp even a fraction of its essence.
"Then there's no mistake!" Gao Kexin's eyes lit up with excitement. "If the sword technique were so easy to understand, how could Yu Canghai have been killed so easily, and why would the Lin family have been content to run a run-down escort agency?!"
Zhong Zhen nodded in deep agreement and said, "Junior Brother's words make sense. Perhaps with Senior Brother Zuo's comprehension, he can see through the profound meaning of the sword technique."
However, this sword technique is probably not the complete version!
It seems that the man surnamed Yu wasn't telling the truth. His master, Changqingzi, died young, which might have been due to practicing this incomplete sword technique.
"Why did the man surnamed Yu wait so many years before finally deciding to take action against the Fuwei Escort Agency?"
"That's hard to say. Lin Yuantu is a figure from decades ago. Rumors in the martial arts world are a mix of truth and falsehood. Just like recently, busybodies have exaggerated in various ways. Even if we know the truth, we would have no way to refute it."
It's possible that the person surnamed Yu might have discovered his teacher Qingzi's last letter.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the Lin family possesses a complete Evil-Repelling Sword Manual!
The two whispered to each other, brainstorming for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion: Go to Fuwei Escort Agency immediately!
"Why is Junior Brother Deng taking so long to deal with an injured Jia Bu?"
Gao Keming chuckled and said, "Perhaps Junior Brother Deng thought we were too slow and went east to Fuzhou to wait for us."
"Yes, that makes sense. Let's head south to meet them, and if we can't find them, we'll head straight to Fuzhou!"
The two moved quickly, following the traces of the fight all the way to the other side.
After a while, a cry of surprise came from the woods.
Gao Keming reached out and touched his neck; his fingertips were icy cold. "Senior brother, it's a sword wound!"
Chung-Jin's face was ashen, his eyes narrowed to slits, but he remained silent.
He bent down to pick up the long whip from the ground, searched for a moment, and then pulled out a short whip from Deng Bagong's waist.
He then ignored Deng Bagong's body and instead examined Jia Bu's body first.
"He was a master swordsman; both of them were killed by him!" His voice was icy and chilling. He continued, "Of all the figures who appeared tonight, only Xiang Wentian possessed such skill!"
Halfway through his sentence, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: kill Yu Canghai, that man in black... But then he remembered that the man had been scared away by the Demonic Sect and the Beggar Clan, and thought it was impossible.
Although Xiang Wentian's weapon was a chain, at his level of martial arts, the type of weapon he used was secondary. In the chaos of tonight, it would be too easy to find a sword at random.
As Zhong Zhen was pondering this, Gao Keming suddenly said, "Senior brother, the sword manual is still here!"
"Hmm?" The former looked up and quickly took out a pair of three-quarters of a kasaya, fitting them perfectly together.
He added hatefully, "That must be Xiang Wentian! He's read the sword manual and has probably memorized it. This grudge will be remembered by the Songshan Sect!"
"Let's go, hurry to Fuzhou!"
"Brother Deng's body...?"
"There's no time to lose. We'll leave a message in the town ahead; Dengda and the others will come here to settle things once they arrive!"
"good!"
Li Che rushed through the night and arrived at the woods again just as dawn broke.
He then changed out of his night clothes and into the light blue outfit he had worn when he arrived.
After the town gates opened, we took our horses and headed straight out the east gate.
Two days later, the west gate of Fuzhou was in sight as the horse galloped swiftly.
Along the way, we saw quite a few groups of martial arts practitioners wielding weapons, and coincidentally, we also saw those few remaining Qingcheng disciples.
They were disheveled and their hands were bound. Surrounded by a crowd like "stars surrounding the moon," the Fuwei Escort Agency was getting closer and closer, but Hou Renying missed the green pines of Qingcheng Mountain terribly at this moment.
After entering the city gate and walking to the vicinity of Fuwei Escort Agency, there were few pedestrians to be seen even in broad daylight. Although it was the main street, the people all went around it.
The wooden sign in front of the door is still there, but the number of people peeping around has increased.
Li Che led the horse to the gate without a care in the world.
Before his hand could even touch the brass ring, the door had already been opened.
"Young Master Li, you're back!"
"Hmm, nothing's happened these past two days, has it?"
"No, but... your master, Master Yue, has come to our residence."
"Who's here?!"
......
