Xu yuanshuang, who was beside him, snatched the secret letter and read it with rapt attention. Then, she passed it around to Liu Hongmian, The White Tiger, and the pill incense.

After reading it, everyone’s expression changed.

This was the first time the palace Master of the mysterious heavenly Palace had given an order since he had entered the pugilistic world to gather Dragon Qi.

Suddenly, a bell-like laughter rang out. The laughter was initially joyous, but it soon turned somewhat desolate. Everyone turned their heads and looked at Liu Hongmian, who was laughing so hard that tears were rolling down her face.

Ji Xuan looked at her silently for a while until the alluring and charming woman calmed down. Then, he said in a gentle tone,

“Hongmian is a disciple of myriad Flower Tower. She understands martial Union the most,”

“It’s a former disciple.”

Liu Hongmian corrected him. A faint smile appeared on her bright and beautiful face, and she returned to her usual demeanor that could turn all living things upside down.

She pondered for a moment and said, ”

“The Jian province is known as the Holy Land of martial arts in the pugilistic world precisely because of martial Union’s existence.

“Since the founding of the country, it has been the giant of the Jian province. In the past 600 years, martial Union maintained the order of the Jianzhou underworld, allowing the sects in Jianzhou to grow and prosper.

“To this day, all of the top-ranked guilds in Jian province’s Jianghu are now subordinates of martial Union,”

Liu Hongmian’s eyes swept across everyone present and she continued, ”

“Among the subordinate forces of martial Union, there are nine strongest sects. They are godly fist sect, ten thousand Flower House, ink Pavilion, thousand trickery sect, Shenxing sect, tie Yi Hall, Mount Yu, White Crane temple, and Jianzhou’s Chamber of Commerce.

“The patriarchs of these factions either came from martial Union or established their own sects with the support of martial Union. For several hundred years, they had been allies with martial Union.

“As for the small sects, I won’t go into details.”

“There are rank four experts in these gangs?” Xu yuanhuai asked in a deep voice.

“At least one,” Liu Hongmian replied.

The crowd fell silent.

Putting aside the Blue Dragon’s seven constellations, if it was just them, martial Union would not even need to personally take action. The various sects under them would be able to turn them into dust.

Moreover, there were definitely other Masters in the subsidiary sects. As long as they had not reached the transcendent realm, taking turns to kill a rank four was an effective way.

“Tell me about the situation at martial Union’s headquarters,” White Tiger, who had lost an arm, said.

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes focused on Liu Hongmian, including the seven constellations of the Azure Dragon.

“Martial Union is located at Quanrong mountain. There is a military town at the foot of the mountain, and it is said that there are 20000 heavy cavalry. However, in reality, there are only 8000 heavy cavalry at most, and the number of heavy cavalry will not exceed 4000. The 20,000 troops were the old Alliance master’s direct troops. Of course, they’ve been replaced countless times.”

Liu Hongmian recalled as she said, ”

“Aside from the military, it’s not easy to count the experts in martial Union. Even I can’t make an accurate judgment. I think that the ones who should be taken seriously are Cao Qingyang and the old Alliance master.

“Cao Qingyang is in the top five of the top 100 martial artists list, a half-step transcendent. In a one-on-one fight, any one of us would be dead if we encountered him.

“As for the old Alliance master, although many people in the pugilistic world believe that his existence is just a gimmick created by martial Union, at our level, we naturally know that he truly exists.

however, the old Alliance master has never appeared in the past hundreds of years. I didn’t know why before, but now that I’ve seen the palace master’s superstition, I know the whole story.

After introducing the situation of the Jianghu in the Jian province, she didn’t say anything more.

“We need more people.” Ji Xuan calmly made his judgment. He looked at the spy from Yuzhou and said,

“Send a message to the eastern sisters and the two Vajra realm Warriors of the East Ocean Dragon Palace. They are having a meeting here. Tell them to come as soon as possible.”

Today was a day off, so Xu Erlang rode a fast horse out of the city. In less than two hours, he arrived at the Yun Lu Academy in the outskirts of the capital.

He quickly climbed the mountain, passed through the Academy, and went straight to the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain.

“Greetings, principal.”

Xu Xinian bowed outside the bamboo house.

There was a flash of light under his feet, and he was brought into the bamboo house.

In the elegant and clean bamboo house, Zhao Shou sat by the table alone, sipping tea.

There was already a cup of hot tea in the seat opposite him.

Xu niannian knew that it was prepared for him, and he also knew that it was Zhao Shou’s attitude.

Originally, he was not qualified to be on the same level as Zhao Shou.

Whether it was his cultivation level or his status as a teacher, Xu cijiu should be standing in front of Zhao Shou.

“Thank you, headmaster.”

Xu Xin bowed and sat down calmly.

“I need your help with two things.”

Zhao Shou put down his teacup and said with a gentle look,”Bring a report for the Academy;Help me make an appointment with Wang zhenwen for afternoon tea.”

Xu nianxin’s eyes flickered and he hesitated. “Alright,” he said.

At the border of Jiang Prefecture.

The young mare swung her ponytail and lowered her head to chew on the concentrated feed in the wooden bucket.

The two stallions on both sides were drooling over its feed and stretched their heads over, trying to get a piece of it. Every time this happened, the little mare would shake her neck and give the other party a headbutt.

In front of the bonfire by the stream, mu nanzhi was stir-frying wild vegetables in an iron pot, while Xu Qi ‘an was chopping the wild game he had caught in the forest.

Li lingsu, on the other hand, was squatting by the stream and washing the ingredients.

Miao Youfang wasn’t doing any work. He was boxing not far away, sweating all over.

after copper skin and iron bones, it’s the fifth stage, huajin. The most unique feature of this realm is that it starts from breathing in and out Qi, then goes back to refining qi and blood.

Xu Qi ‘an taught her while slicing the meat, ”

but it’s different from the pure training of qi and blood in the spirit refinement realm. You need to use your heart to feel the rhythm of your body and perfectly control your power.

Miao Youfang’s hands and feet didn’t stop moving, and he replied loudly, “”I can already control it.”

“You’re still far from that,” li lingsu sneered.

“You’re just a Daoist priest, what do you know!” Miao Youfang scolded.

Li lingsu ignored his vulgarities and said, ”

“People are born with the ability to control their own hands and feet and control their bodies, but this is the most superficial use of the body.

“An ordinary person can only use less than ten or twenty percent of their body’s power. The best proof is that they can burst out with unparalleled power at a critical moment.

“The essence of the fifth stage is to control these uncontrollable forces, am I right? Senior Xu.”

Xu Qi ‘an nodded in agreement with li lingsu.

“This realm can’t be achieved quickly, and it can’t be piled up with resources. It depends on personal talent and enlightenment. The higher the grade, the more opportunities and comprehension were needed. All major systems were the same.

however, the experience of your ancestors can help you avoid many detours. I suggest that besides boxing, you should meditate every day and temper your primordial spirit.

Miao Youfang asked,”why do you still need to temper your primordial spirit?” Aren’t you training your body?”

because the body is controlled by the brain, ” Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile. the better the brain is developed, the stronger the control over the body.

Miao Youfang did not fully understand, while li lingsu was deep in thought.

The Wang Manor.

After Xu Erlang had his lunch in the Wang Residence, he was brought to the outer hall of the boudoir by Wang simu.

Even if the two of them were engaged, they were not married yet, and the woman’s boudoir could not be entered by her fiancé.

The outer hall was luxuriously decorated, with expensive linens, antique shelves, and famous calligraphies and paintings on the walls.

Wang simu was extremely talented, beautiful on the outside but intelligent on the inside, and he always felt happy to be around her.

Occasionally, he would throw a tantrum at his lover. Fortunately, Erlang was not the iron-willed straight man he used to be, so he would still say a few words to coax him.

“When the Spring Festival is over, sister lingyue should be nineteen years old, right?”

Wang si mu asked with a smile.

Xu Erlang nodded absent-mindedly as he was deep in thought.

“She’s also at the marriageable age. Are you engaged?”

Wang simu asked again.

In Da Feng, the age for women to get married was usually after 14 years old for commoners, and after 16 years old for the families of high officials and rich people.

She couldn’t be over 22 years old at the latest, or she would be an old leftover woman.

Xu Erlang glanced at his 21-year-old fiancée and said, “”No rush, let’s wait a few years.”

Wang simu nodded with a smile and added,

“After we’re married, she’ll be able to pick even more husbands.”

Wang simu’s train of thought was very clear. When she married into the Xu family in the future, she must marry Xu lingyue off.

Just the matriarch of the Xu family alone was enough to give her a lot of pressure. If she let her younger sister, who liked to act pitiful and weak, interfere, her future status would be worrying.

Of course, Wang simu was not a combative person. She had married for the sake of house fighting.

She just wanted to reduce the ‘threat’ around her and try not to be controlled by others.

Xu Erlang hummed perfunctorily for a moment and said, ”

“I still have something to discuss with chief advisor Wang.”

Wang si mu nodded and said gently, ”

“Father seems to be sick. He has been coughing for a while and is always in a daze.”

“Have you checked with the astrologers?” Xu Erlang asked with concern.

Wang simu sighed.

“The Directorate of Celestials said that father is sick from overwork and is too worried, so he needs to recuperate. In addition, there was also some cold wind.

“When Wei Yuan was still around, he was full of fighting spirit. Now that Wei Yuan is dead and he has no political enemies, all that energy has been lost.

I could’ve used this to my advantage, but the disaster was too intense …

Xu Erlang nodded with a heavy expression.

After leaving his fiancée’s residence, he came to chief advisor Wang’s study with ease and knocked on the door.

After getting permission, he pushed the door open and entered.

Chief advisor Wang was sitting behind the table with a hot teacup in his arms. There was nothing in front of him. He seemed to have been in a daze.

“Lord first assistant, the headmaster would like to see you.”

Xu cijiu cut straight to the point.

Chief Wang looked at him for a moment and said, ”

“There’s nothing to see. I don’t have the energy to deal with him, and I’m not interested.

“The Ascension of the new emperor will cause Yun Lu Academy to want to use this opportunity to return to the Imperial court. This will definitely cause unrest in the court and attract the resistance of the Civil officials. You should know what this means at this point.”

“The rebel army in Yunzhou is ready to go. If the Yun Lu Academy can return to the Imperial court, it will undoubtedly be a great help,” Xu Erlang said in a deep voice.

Chief advisor Wang shook his head.

“What the Imperial court needs now isn’t the clear streams of his Yun Lu Academy. It’s Silver, an endless amount of silver. Go and tell Zhao Shou that if he can increase the Treasury by five million taels of silver, I’ll give up my position.

“Going against the scholars of Yun Lu Academy is the common understanding of the scholars and the Civil officials. If we let this go, do you think that group of civil officials will “force” the abdication?

“Then, who is going to provide disaster relief?”

“I understand,” Xu Erlang sighed.

On the third day, he applied for leave and didn’t go to the Hanlin Academy. Instead, he went to the Yunlu Academy to ” report “.

although chief advisor Wang didn’t meet the director, he did hand in the memorial. However, His Majesty ignored it …

Xu Erlang said.

“Forget it!”

Zhao Shou sighed and looked in the direction of the capital.”I’ve already done my best to Yongxing.”

At this moment, Xu Erlang still didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The cold wind was sharp.

A flying ship shuttled through the clouds and mist, slowly ‘parking’ in the sky above the majestic city.

Dongfang Wanrong stood proudly at the bow of the ship, her beautiful hair and skirt flying in the wind.

“Teacher, we’ve arrived at Yuzhou.”

In the small courtyard, Ji Xuan was entertaining the two Vajra realm Warriors, du Nan and du fan.

“I wonder if the two Vajra realm martial artists have found the host of the nine Dragons?”

Ji Xuan looked at the Vajra of the Buddhist sect sitting at the head of the table and probed.

Du Nan shook his head slightly.

The Asura Vajra closed his eyes and remained silent.

Ji Xuan smiled and did not say anything else. He knew that his status was not enough for the two Vajra realm Warriors to take him seriously.

“Benefactor Ji Xuan, who is the ally you made us wait for?” Jingxin asked.

“They’re from the witchcraft sect,” answered Ji Xuan honestly.

The Vajra of endurance opened his eyes and looked at him for a moment, then closed them again without expressing his opinion.

“How will the Dragon Qi be distributed?” monk Jingyuan frowned.

The cooperation with Hidden Dragon City was a decision made by the higher-ups of the Buddhist League. Even if the Dragon Qi went to the hidden Dragon City, he would not object.

However, the relationship between the wizard God religion and the Buddhist League had not reached that stage yet.

Just as Ji Xuan was about to speak, he suddenly turned his head and looked outside the courtyard.

Jingxin, Jingyuan, and the others did the same thing.

Suddenly, a knock came from the two old wooden doors of the small courtyard.

Liu Hongmian went to open the door and saw a group of people from the East Ocean Dragon Palace, led by the Dongfang sisters.

Ji Xuan stood up to welcome him and said with a smile,”Please come in, Palace Masters.”
