I hang up and lie flat in the world of martial arts

Chapter 136 The Promise Gate of the Western Regions

……

Ning'an Mansion, the second floor of an inn.

Qi Xuan was sitting by the window, looking around, he could just see the gate of the government office.

Diagonally opposite the government office, there was a black-roofed coarse-cloth carriage parked.

The person in the carriage is Huang Zhonghu.

Qi Xuan came out on purpose today, just to see if Huang Zhonghu would make a move.

But before Huang Zhonghu could make a move, a person had already sat down opposite Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan looked away from the window, and then glanced at the man sitting opposite him.

He has an unremarkable appearance and clothes, and holds an equally unremarkable long sword in his hand.

Facing Qi Xuan's scrutiny, the man silently put the long sword in his hand across the table. This scene made the steps that were about to come over to greet the waiter in the shop suddenly stagnate.

Qi Xuan glanced at the empty tables around him from the corner of his eye, and said with a slight smile, "My friend, there are many empty tables."

"I'm Xue Zhi." The man suddenly replied in a deep voice.

Before Qi Xuan could respond, the man continued, "I have a younger brother named Xue Jian, and he died at your hands."

It turned out to be seeking revenge.

The smile on Qi Xuan's face faded, but his expression was still relaxed. He nodded: "That's right, Xue Jian died at my hands."

bang bang...

The floor under his feet suddenly trembled slightly, which made the shop waiter, who mustered up his courage and prepared to come up to greet the guests again, stop in his tracks again.

The young waiter looked at the man's hand that had already touched the hilt of the sword, and felt bad in his heart.

"This is my first day at work..."

The torment in Xiao Er's heart was obviously not within the scope of Xue Zhi's consideration. He stared fixedly at Qi Xuan, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart, and said word by word: "Even if there is something wrong with him, but... Sin doesn't deserve death!"

Qi Xuan looked sideways slightly, glanced at the still quiet carriage in the distance, and then smiled slightly: "People are already so cold, what's the use of saying that crimes don't deserve to die, you are also born in the rivers and lakes, and if you want to take revenge, you can just draw your sword , go out with the newspaper officer and turn left and the end is the magistrate's yamen."

"Cang—" There was a slight sword cry, and the long sword lying on the table was already an inch long.

But Xue Zhi's face suddenly changed slightly, and then he turned his head to look at one place.

"Vice Chief Xue, what a coincidence!" A peerless beauty smiled sweetly.

The two looked at each other, and it was as if swords, lights and swords crossed each other in an instant.

Moments later, Xue Zhi, whose face was as heavy as water, slowly pushed the sword back into the scabbard, then got up to pick it up, and left without saying a word.

It wasn't until Xue Zhi disappeared from the stairs that Zhao Lingyue, who was on the other table, smiled and sat down opposite Qi Xuan.

"Say, did I save his life just now?"

Seeing Zhao Lingyue's smiling face like a flower, Qi Xuan sighed lightly, and then asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Isn't this because I heard that Xue Zhi is coming to seek revenge on you, so I came here to help out?" Zhao Lingyue said, and then called "the waiter". Let's order food.

The cooks in the inn were average, Qi Xuan only took half a mouthful before putting down his chopsticks.

"You made a special trip today, shouldn't it be just to watch me fight Huang Zhonghu?" Qi Xuan glanced at Zhao Lingyue, who was concentrating on enjoying the food, and then asked quietly.

Zhao Lingyue stopped picking up vegetables, and then replied bluntly: "Xue Zhi can't die in your hands for the time being."

Qi Xuan frowned slightly when she heard the words, while Zhao Lingyue had put down the bowls and chopsticks at this time, then took a sip of tea calmly, and then continued: "Last night, someone wanted to break into the dungeon of Qianhu Villa. stopped."

In the dungeon of Qianhu Villa, Lu Song, the ghost envoy, as well as Black and White Wuchang and Fujiwara Kenichiro who had been captured before were imprisoned.

"Who is it?" Qi Xuan asked immediately.

"I don't know, I didn't keep him." Zhao Lingyue shook her head, and continued: "There are two people on the other side, and one of them uses a sword. When fighting with me, his hands and feet were tied, as if he was hiding his martial arts."

"The other person is using his bare hands, using an extremely powerful set of sect masters, and his martial arts are extremely high!"

"I slapped this person, and almost lost an arm."

As Zhao Lingyue said, she stretched out Bai Nen's slender arms and placed them in front of Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan was also not polite, and directly reached out his hand to catch the vein door, and it was scorching hot when he touched it.

"This true energy... is really weird." After a while, Qi Xuan withdrew his hand, then frowned.

Zhao Lingyue's entire arm was severely injured.

What remained in the veins of her arm was a scorching true energy.

These remaining true qi were like gangrene attached to the bones, eroding and burning Zhao Lingyue's flesh and veins, so that her arms were very hot to the touch.

And even with such an injury, Qi Xuan could not see a trace of pain on Zhao Lingyue's face.

Zhao Lingyue touched her forearm that had just been retracted, her brows furrowed, and she said solemnly, "Thank you."

Just now Qi Xuan helped him heal.

He has already spent 60 cultivation bases to complete the last part of Taiyin Jue, and thoroughly practiced this magical skill.

In terms of the quality of zhenqi, Qi Xuan is now infinitely close to controlling the power of pure yin.

The zhenqi remaining in Zhao Lingyue's arm was suppressed by Qi Xuan's Taiyin zhenqi.

……

Huang Zhonghu moved.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Huang Zhonghu got down from the carriage.

He walked towards the magistrate's yamen step by step.

Just when he was about to step on the steps in front of the gate of the government office, his slightly stooped body suddenly paused.

"Huang Zhonghu has no chance." Zhao Lingyue said suddenly, "Wei Yuanshen is here."

Even though it was far away, Qi Xuan still saw a young man in Taoist robe standing dozens of steps away from Huang Zhonghu's side.

Ever since this young man in Taoist robe appeared, Qi Xuan couldn't help but focus on him.

Another great master!
As Zhao Lingyue said, after a while, Huang Zhonghu returned to the carriage, and with a neigh, the carriage slowly drove towards Qi Xuan and the others.

"How is it? Did you feel any pressure from Wei Yuanshen?" Zhao Lingyue asked with a smile.

The carriage carrying Huang Zhonghu didn't stop, passed by the restaurant where Qi Xuan and the others were staying, and disappeared from Qi Xuan's sight after a while.

Stress, of course... is nonexistent.

Wei Yuanshen gave Qi Xuan the feeling that at most he was on the same level as Feng Jiuqing.

After Huang Zhonghu's carriage left, Wei Yuanshen also quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Qi Xuan looked away, and asked Zhao Lingyue, "How about the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Zhao Lingyue blinked, then nodded.

……

The fact that Shangqingguan sold the first post quickly spread throughout the martial arts world.

However, the martial arts people did not show much surprise.

Because it is not the first time that Shangqing Temple has done it.

As for Qi Xuan, a half-baked disciple of Shangqing Temple, it's even more unsurprising.

After Qi Xuan left, Shangqing Temple was already closed.

Not many people in Jianghu even knew about Meng Yafeng taking over as head.

Qi Xuan guessed that the main reason why Shangqingguan did not participate in the martial arts conference this time was most likely because of Tang Tianque.

Because, the first post that was taken away by Shanhe Society has been confirmed to appear in Tang Tianque's hands.

This means that Tang Tianque is coming to participate in the martial arts conference.

……

Looking at the current situation, it is indeed not very good.

The former head Zhang Heming lost all his martial arts, and the new head Meng Yafeng's strength has not yet reached the peak level.

Although there are a group of powerful elders such as Sun Heqing in the door, don't forget that there is still an inner ghost hidden among these people.

By the way, there is another big brother Hua Pingfeng.

Qi Xuan had faintly noticed that this person seemed to have taken the same path as Tang Tianque, borrowing external force to refine pure yang and pure yin, and in time, he was very likely to become a master of the same level as Tang Tianque.

Thinking about it, the reason why Zhang Heming lost all his martial arts is most likely because of Hua Pingfeng's good fortune.

……

But Qi Xuan was surprised, the one who bought the first post of Shangqingguan.

He is a person who has never had a reputation in martial arts.

But his name makes people think about it.

Nie Yuanzhen.

This person claimed to be a merchant from the Western Regions.

What kind of merchant can spend 23 taels of silver at a time to buy a famous post.

And the person's name.

There is only one word difference between Nie Yuanqi and Wuji Demon Sword.

It's hard not to think about the relationship between the two.

……

It was this Nie Yuanzhen that Qi Xuan asked Zhao Lingyue to investigate.

"Actually, there has always been a group of Central Plains people living in the Western Regions, and they all fled to escape the war before the founding of Dayong." Zhao Lingyue took a sip of tea and said eloquently.

Before the founding of Dayong, there was a period of troubled times that lasted nearly 200 years.

The princes of all parties, you sing, and we will appear on the stage.

Moreover, the eyes of foreign races from all sides are indispensable.

It was also during this period that many people from the Central Plains did not hesitate to go deep into the Jedi in order to avoid the chaos of war.

Western Region is one of them.

Just the vast and endless desert.It's not something ordinary people can pass through.

It is also because of this that it has become a natural barrier to isolate the flames of war.

It wasn't just ordinary people who fled to the Western Regions back then, but also some people from the Jianghu, including many experts.

"According to the records left by the ancestors, the martial arts in the Western Regions has always been three factions, Wujimen, Dongwangcheng and Lianhua Temple." The ancestor Zhao Lingyue said was naturally the first chief assistant of Dayong.

When he was young, he traveled all over dangerous places, including the Western Regions.

"What a coincidence." Zhao Lingyue said with a smile, "According to the ancestor's loading, the head of the Wuji Sect has been controlled by a family for generations."

"And the surname of this family is 'Nie'!"

The Promise Gate, the Promise Demon Knife, Nie Yuanqi, Nie Yuanzhen.

Everything seems to be connected!
Memories of the past emerged in his mind, Qi Xuan suddenly smiled, and he said to Zhao Lingyue: "Do you know Elder Yaoguang among the Seven Star Elders under the Shanhe Society?"

"It is rumored that she is the daughter of 'Wan Songdao' Dong Zhishui and 'Snow Plum Sword' Chen Ying in the 'Three Friends of Suihan', and she went astray and became the heir of Wuji Demon Knife?"

"Hehehe..." Qi Xuan replied with a smile, "This Dong Hanyan is most likely the daughter of Nie Yuanqi, the Wuji Demon Saber."

A person obviously related to Nie Yuanqi came to the Central Plains.

How should he face Nie Yuanqi's daughter!

……

Jiangzhou, the chief rudder of the Shanhe Club.

A beautiful white figure slowly walked in from the gate of the main rudder.

Wherever he passed, the disciples of the Shanhe Society all bowed their heads to avoid it, with horror in their eyes.

It wasn't until seeing Dong Hanyan's back walking away that the disciples of the Shanhe Society heaved a sigh of relief, and then said to the companion with the same expression on the side: "Have you heard that our Elder Yaoguang has wiped out the whole family again!"

"Don't talk about it, last time my third brother went out with Elder Dong, and after coming back, he had nightmares for half a month!"

……

To some extent, Dong Hanyan's reputation in the Shanhehui even surpassed that of the gang leader Tang Tianque.

When Dong Hanyan stepped into the lobby with a waist knife slung across his shoulders, there were already people waiting inside.

Qi Xuan also knew this person.

It was Song Ao, the former leader of the Dajiang Gang.

It's just that he has changed his name to Mu Ao now, and has personally dismantled the century-old foundation of the Dajiang Gang and joined the Shanhe Society.

As the deputy gang leader who once held power for more than ten years and is now more than ten thousand people, Mu Ao exudes an aura of calmness and prestige.

But this kind of momentum obviously couldn't suppress Dong Hanyan.

After she came in, she said coldly, "What's the matter in looking for me so eagerly?"

Mu Ao frowned: "I heard that you recently wiped out a whole family?"

Dong Hanyan replied blankly: "Their crime of violating gang rules is unforgivable, so should I be merciful?"

Seeing this, Mu Ao could only shake his head helplessly.

This woman acted so viciously that even he sometimes shuddered.

However, this woman holds a lot of weight in Tang Tianque's eyes, and Mu Ao has nothing to do with her.

Mu Ao took two steps forward and came to Dong Hanyan's side, and immediately took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to her.

"Recently there was a businessman from the Western Regions named Nie Yuanzhen. He went to Dong's Mansion yesterday and asked to see your mother, but your father...Dong Zhishui beat him out."

Hearing the name Nie Yuanzhen, Dong Hanyan's eyes lit up, but he turned cold again in an instant.

"As I said, they are not my parents."

Regarding Dong Hanyan's reaction, Mu Ao had expected it a long time ago. He pointed to the letter in Dong Hanyan's hand and said in a deep voice: "This is a letter from the leader of the gang, asking you to meet that businessman from the Western Regions named Nie Yuanzhen." one side."

Hearing that it was Tang Tianque's order, Dong Hanyan's face softened a little, and then he opened the letter and read it together.

After reading the letter, the chill almost dripped from Dong Hanyan's face.

"The leader of the gang has already arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and the next thing is about the future of the Shanhe Society." Mu Ao sighed softly when he saw this, "Elder Dong, don't disappoint the expectations of the leader of the gang."

"I know." Dong Hanyan's tone was still bitingly cold.

"The gang leader is in the south of the Yangtze River, so isn't it going to confront... that kid named Qi Xuan?"

Qi Xuan...

Hearing this name, Mu Ao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately laughed in a low voice: "Hehehe...that kid's martial arts are truly terrifying."

"However, the guild leader said that he is no longer the same as he was when he just escaped from Shangqingguan. If he confronts Qixuan again, he will definitely be able to take him down!"

"The boss is very confident about this!"
