Chapter 67 Chaos in the Martial World, the Grand Gathering of Lingjiu!
now.
Looking back from Zhongyuan, the long street is silent!
Ahead, there were several Han River gang members who had lost their long knives and were already terrified.
Staring at Zhong Yuan, they didn't dare to breathe.
His legs were as weak as cotton strips, and he had no strength left to run away.
The wind whipped the tea banners, making them rustle loudly!
The murderous aura that filled the street was so intense that people hiding in the alley shops dared not even breathe.
Zhong Yuan stood with his sword drawn, a few drops of blood stained his clothes, and his breathing was steady.
He said calmly to the few Hanshui gang members, "Go back and tell your Hanshui gang leader."
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor!"
"I am Zhong Yuan of the Ming Cult, acting on behalf of Heaven!"
"If the Hanshui Gang dares to oppress the poor again, I will storm their headquarters and wipe them out!"
"Get out!"
Wow!
As soon as Zhong Yuan finished speaking, the few Han River gang members who had narrowly escaped with their lives turned ashen-faced and fled in panic.
Zhong Yuan drew his sword, returned to the inn, took Xiao Hong with him, and strode away from the ancient town.
In a short time.
The ancient town of Hekou seemed to be shrouded in a kind of deathly silence.
……
Zhong Yuan traveled at a fast pace and returned to Xiangyang City when the moon was already high in the sky.
He arrived at the inn where he had arranged to stay with Zhang Erniu, and was immediately recognized by the innkeeper.
When the shopkeeper saw that it was Zhong Yuan, he led him to see Zhang Erniu.
Zhang Erniu was living in a small house in the backyard with his daughter Luan Luan. He was overjoyed and very relieved to see that Zhong Yuan had returned.
"My benefactor."
"Are you alright...?"
Zhang Erniu noticed some bloodstains on Zhong Yuan's clothes and looked worried.
Zhong Yuan said, "It's alright."
"This is the blood of those scumbags from the Han River Gang."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Erniu was even more shocked. He didn't know who Zhong Yuan was, but in his eyes, Zhong Yuan already held a very high position.
"My benefactor!"
"The Han River Gang is not to be trifled with."
"My benefactor is all alone; perhaps we should leave Xiangyang tonight!"
Zhong Yuan smiled faintly.
"Brother Erniu, there's no need to worry. Those scum from the Han River Gang in Hekou Ancient Town are all dead."
"You and your daughter should get some rest today."
"We will set off early tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Erniu felt no fear whatsoever. On the contrary, he longed to join his benefactor in storming the Hanshui Gang branch and personally chop down a few of the Hanshui Gang scum.
Zhong Yuan instructed Zhang Erniu and his daughter to settle in at the inn and begin to meditate.
He almost wiped out all the members of the Han River Gang's Hekou branch.
But they still spared someone to inform the leader of the Han River Gang.
This time, he did not leave a pseudonym, but his real name.
This is because he is doing something truly momentous this time, acting on behalf of Heaven.
Since entering this world.
He had a pent-up anger inside him that he never let out!
In Zhenjie Village, he had seen the corrupt officials who ran rampant in Qiyuan!
Now, the bandits of the Han River are once again terrorizing the countryside!
He had to get revenge!
Those who practice martial arts are training their very will!
If he doesn't even dare to deal openly with the bandits on the Han River, he truly doesn't deserve to be called a man.
and.
He had deeper considerations as well.
Now, although he may not have mastered the ultimate martial arts, he should have a foothold in the martial arts world!
Since the Bangyuan Cave Conference.
The Ming Cult's headquarters were wiped out, and it has never recovered its strength.
He's going to start by destroying the Han River Gang!
Step by step, we will restore the prestige of the Ming Cult!
Therefore, he had to raise the banner of the Ming Cult!
Today is just the beginning!
……
Early the next morning.
Zhong Yuan and Zhang Erniu had breakfast at the inn, then went to the post station to buy two horses, left the city, and headed straight for Muzhou.
When the three left the city.
A group of people had gathered at the city gate, and some were already talking animatedly.
"Hey, you guys didn't see it yesterday, the ancient town of Hekou was practically a river of blood!"
"At the Han River Gang branch, from the leader Wu Zaixiu down to the second-in-command Xiao Liuyi and the third-in-command Ma Wu, all were killed!"
"Only three people remain alive at the river mouth branch!"
"Do you know who that man, with just one sword, wiped out nearly a hundred men from the Han River branch?"
"Who is it?"
"That man... claimed to be a member of the Ming Cult, acting on behalf of Heaven!"
"His surname is Chung, and his given name is Yuan!"
"Good heavens!"
"The Ming Cult?"
"Isn't that the 'evil cult' that the court officials are talking about?"
"What kind of demonic cult is this?!"
"Acting on behalf of Heaven and standing up for the people—that's clearly the mark of a great hero!"
Zhong Yuan, wearing a straw hat and with a slight smile on his lips, led his horse out of the city gate.
……
Seven days later.
Zhong Yuan and his two companions have already entered Quzhou, Zhejiang Province.
After several days of travel, Zhong Yuan found an inn to stay in in a small town near Jiuhua Mountain.
We had just arrived at the inn to rest when we ordered some wine and food.
Zhang Erniu handed the two horses to the waiter, personally watched over feeding them, and then returned.
I just sat down.
Zhang Erniu then whispered to Zhong Yuan, "My benefactor."
"It seems there are many martial arts practitioners in this city!"
"There are quite a few horses tied up in the manger in the backyard."
Zhong Yuan nodded slightly; even if Zhang Erniu hadn't said anything, he had already noticed it.
Logically speaking, it's unlikely that so many martial arts practitioners would appear in this small town at the foot of Mount Jiuhua.
In just the short time he had been in the city, he had already seen no fewer than twenty people carrying swords and knives.
At this time.
There, outside the inn, appeared a middle-aged monk dressed in a yellow robe and straw sandals.
The monk's face faintly glowed with auspicious light. He stepped into the inn, found an empty table, sat down, ordered two vegetarian dishes and two steamed buns, and began to eat and drink with his tea.
Upon seeing this, Zhong Yuan raised an eyebrow.
This big monk, for some reason, looks a bit like the Great Wheel King of the Tibetan Kingdom.
Just as Zhong Yuan was filled with doubt.
Outside the door, another group of martial arts practitioners entered, brandishing their swords and wielding their weapons. They pushed two tables together, sat down, and loudly proclaimed, "Damn it!"
"I wonder if the news that the martial arts manual stolen by Tianshan Child Granny is hidden in Jiuhua Mountain is true or false!"
"It took three horses to die from exhaustion for us brothers to get here from Shanxi."
"Don't miss this grand event."
"It must be true!"
"This news came from Duan Yu, the son of the Prince of Zhennan of Dali."
"Who is Duan Yu? He is a genuine member of the Dali royal family."
"What he said should be true!"
"Moreover, there are rumors circulating in the martial arts world that the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny has secretly visited Mount Jiuhua countless times over the past twenty years!"
"This Jiuhua Mountain, formerly known as Lingjiu Mountain, has an inexplicable connection between Lingjiu Temple on that mountain and Lingjiu Palace on Tianshan Mountain!"
"That day, the Child Granny of Tianshan was a traitor to the Free and Unfettered Sect!"
"They also stole the Shaolin Yi Jin Jing, the Beggars' Sect Dog-Beating Stick Technique, and the Dali Duan Family Six Meridian Divine Sword."
"It's reasonable to hide those secret martial arts manuals in places no one would expect!"
