At the beginning of Niujia Village, my sister-in-law and I depended on each other.

After a long time——

The inn was in a mess due to the impact of the leaked energy, only the locations of Niu Dingtian and Xuan Bei remained safe.

Just as the two men's robes were puffed up and they were deadlocked, their faces were distorted by the internal force, and beads of sweat began to seep out of their foreheads, two beggars suddenly rushed in from outside the door.

After seeing what was going on inside, the two of them looked at each other, unable to hide the horror in their eyes.

One of them rolled his eyes and was about to turn around and run outside. Niu Dingtian, who was here, saw this and suddenly activated his mysterious power. The powerful energy that was originally entangled around the bowl of noodles seemed to have found an outlet in an instant, and it wrapped the bowl of noodles and blasted straight towards the threshold!

"boom!"

This blow directly smashed the threshold into pieces, and wood chips flew everywhere, hitting the faces of people nearby, leaving streaks of blood.

"The stars have changed!" Xuan Bei's eyes were filled with shock and he couldn't help but blurt out.

Then, he quickly grasped the Buddha pestle beside him, stared at Niu Dingtian, and said in a deep voice: "Are you from the Gusu Murong clan?"

It was beyond expectation that someone of such a young age could last long in a contest of internal strength without being defeated.

And now, he could actually use Murong's unique skills! And he used them so skillfully, how could he not be shocked?

Thinking of the purpose of going to Dali and the sudden appearance of this young man, Xuan Bei couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Niu Dingtian did not reply, nor did he look at the group of horrified people around him. Instead, he turned his head to the threshold and his eyes fell on the frightened Beggar Gang disciple.

"But is there a trace of him?"

He asked in a calm voice. This man and the man next to him were both Beggar Gang spies who had followed them last time. Whenever they went downstairs to drink and dine in the past two days, they would be able to spot their figures.

The attack just now was, firstly, to teach a lesson, secondly, to prevent the news from being reported. As for the third, he and Xuan Bei were indeed almost exhausted. If they did not use their trump cards and continued to fight, it would be difficult to tell who was stronger in a short time.

"Yes, yes... yes, the captain has already arranged a banquet and sent... sent us to invite Young Hero Niu."

The beggar came back to his senses instantly, his Adam's apple gurgled, he swallowed hard, and his voice trembled.

Niu Dingtian nodded slightly when he heard this. He also saw the onlookers whispering. Xuan Bei was on full alert, as if he was facing a great enemy. There was a hint of confusion in his tone. He said calmly:

"There are more than tens of millions of martial arts in the world. The art of using the opponent's force to counter attack is not limited to Dou Zhuan Xing Yi. Master Xuan Bei is too narrow-minded."

"Isn't it the movement of the stars?" Xuan Bei's expression froze, and his eyes fell on Niu Dingtian's face, as if he wanted to find out whether it was true or not.

The people from the martial arts world who were watching nearby also had doubtful looks on their faces.

"Master, you don't believe it?"

Niu Dingtian raised his eyebrows.

Xuan Bei showed a hint of hesitation on his face, and did not answer. After pondering for a while, he chanted the Buddha's name with one hand: "Amitabha."

Seeing this, Niu Dingtian snorted softly and didn't explain much.

He was not bragging about his wife's unique martial arts, but Dou Zhuan Xing Yi was indeed not as good as Qian Kun Da Shift.

Use the opponent's force to counter attack, draw the enemy's strength, convert the yin and yang energies, copy the opponent's martial arts, stimulate your own potential, and so on.

It can be said that there is the Change of the Stars and the Shift of the Universe, there is the Little Wuxiang Gong, there is the Great Shift of the Universe, and there is also the Great Shift of the Universe.

But the latter has much that the former lacks, so how can they be compared?

However, since he could compete with Xuan Bei on equal terms in internal strength, he would no longer have to hide his skills in the future and could just use whatever martial arts he had, no matter who came looking for him.

"Since I have ruined the master's meal, I will return the gift to the master."

While he was thinking, Niu Dingtian seemed to remember something, and looked at Xuan Bei meaningfully:
"I see that the master's forehead is black, which means that there will be disasters. If you go south, there may be bloody disasters. I hope the master will take care of himself."

"Farewell!"

After saying this, without caring about the astonished looks of Xuan Bei and the people around him, he picked up the Shura Knife on the table, threw two silver ingots onto the counter, then walked out of the inn and headed towards the Dazhi branch of the Beggar Gang.

……

In the hall of the Dazhi Branch, sumptuous food and wine have already been prepared.

"Master Quan, did you really not find anything?"

Elder Xu sat at the table, looking at Quan Guanqing opposite him, his eyes still full of doubt.

After all, the news outside was so detailed and seemed to be true that even he was looking forward to it, wondering if some predecessors of the Beggars' Sect would leave behind some magical skills in Black Dragon Pond.

Quan Guanqing couldn't help but feel annoyed. Ever since the rumor came out, these two old guys were afraid that they would take all the good stuff for themselves.

But the fact is, he personally led people to dig nine feet deep in the black mud of the Black Dragon Pond, but did not find anything decent.

"If Elder Xu doesn't believe it, why not go and look in the pond yourself?"

Seeing Bai Shijing's eyes also glanced over, Quan Guanqing replied indifferently. Although his status in the Beggars' Sect was not too high, there was no need for him to keep accommodating an old man who had retired and had no power.

"You..." Elder Xu's face suddenly turned ugly, and he had offended two parties without realizing it.

Just as he was about to scold her, Bai Shijing interrupted him with a sullen face and said, "Okay, don't mention this matter anymore!"

As he spoke, he didn't care about Elder Xu's reaction, he stared at Quan Guanqing and said in a deep voice:
"If the negotiation fails later, are you sure you can capture this person?"

Quan Guanqing decided to stop when he saw that he was ahead. He bowed to Elder Xu in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, determined not to offend anyone to death.

Then he smiled at Bai Shijing and said, "No matter how good Niu's martial arts are, with the two elders and Quan joining forces, he can't escape from this yard! What's more..."

At the end of his speech, he glanced at the white jade wine jug on the table, and a sinister smile appeared on his handsome and elegant face, which seemed quite incongruous.

"This wine is a fine wine specially prepared by Quan. Even if Qiao Feng drinks it, he will probably have to sleep soundly for two days."

After saying this, Quan Guanqing wanted to explain a few more words proudly, but before he could take the wine pot, he heard a clear voice suddenly coming from outside the hall:
"Oh? The captain of the helm actually has such good wine, why didn't he bring it out two days ago? Don't you look down on me, Niu Dingtian?"

Quan Guanqing's face changed drastically. He, Bai Shijing and Elder Xu who were sitting at the table stood up suddenly and looked out of the hall at the same time, while being on full alert.

After just a few breaths, light footsteps were heard, seemingly no different from those of ordinary people. Then, a black figure holding a knife slowly approached and came into the hall. It was Niu Dingtian who had not been seen for two days!
After entering the hall, Niu Dingtian looked up. While the three people were on high alert, he walked to the main seat with a faint smile on his face, put down his sword, and sat down calmly.

"I've eaten a lot of Hunan cuisine before coming here, so I don't have much appetite. I just want to try the fine wines of the Quan Duozhu."

As he spoke, Niu Dingtian glanced at the sumptuous food and wine in front of him, then looked at Quan Guanqing on his left with a smile.

Quan Guanqing tried to remain calm, but he was actually very panicked. He was not sure whether Niu Dingtian heard what he said before.

He has the worst martial arts skills among the three, but at the moment he is closest to Niu Dingtian. If the opponent suddenly attacks, he can hit him with one sword.

"Since Young Hero Niu is here, why don't you pour some wine, Captain Quan?" Finally, Bai Shijing forced a smile, quietly circulated his skills, and frowned at Quan Guanqing and gave him instructions.

Quan Guanqing had no choice but to pick up the wine jug and fill the four people's cups with wine.

"Young Hero Niu, are you confused about how Leader Quan addressed our leader just now?" Bai Shijing did not come forward, but just stood there and asked in a deep voice.

He decided to try his best to avoid conflict if possible.

If the other party is a smart person, what does it matter if he hears those words when facing the Beggars' Sect? Most smart people will cooperate with him tacitly.

"Not curious."

Niu Dingtian smiled lightly and said, "I am only interested in the location of the Black Dragon Pond."

After saying that, he picked up the white jade wine glass in front of him, put it to his nose and sniffed it, which made Quan Guanqing's eyelids twitch wildly.

Bai Shijing frowned, exchanged a glance with Quan Guanqing and Elder Xu, then looked at Niu Dingtian and said in a deep voice, "I will not keep you in suspense. Our leader Qiao Feng is actually a Khitan. Many martial arts masters already know this."

"The Liao Kingdom is eyeing our Song Dynasty covetously, ready to invade the south at any time. Qiao Feng is a thief with evil ambitions, and has no regard for the kindness of the Han people. He has already colluded with the Liao people. We must not allow him to continue to occupy a high position! I hope that Young Master Niu can do his best for the safety of the martial arts world and the Han people!"

Without waiting for Niu Dingtian to reply, Quan Guanqing's eyes flashed, and he suddenly opened his arms, took two steps back, and then, with a look of deep emotion, he bowed to him and said:

"Young Master Niu, please do your best for the safety of the martial arts world and for the Han people! The entire Beggars' Sect will be grateful to you!"

After saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief and finally got to a safe distance!

"Where is Black Dragon Pond?"

Niu Dingtian asked in a calm voice, while gently drinking the wine in the glass.

Quan Guanqing was stunned and his eyes widened with disbelief.

He drank it!
He actually drank it!
"Fifty miles northeast of the city, on the western foot of Xuefeng Mountain!" Bai Shijing suppressed his excitement and told the truth.

Niu Dingtian nodded, then closed his eyes, as if savoring the moment, then slowly opened them, put down his wine glass, and said with a smile:
"It really is a good wine."

"I am duty-bound to take care of Qiao Feng. According to our previous agreement, if he ever does something that harms the world, I will join forces with you to punish him."

As he spoke, Niu Dingtian stood up, picked up another glass of wine, and regardless of Bai Shijing's already ugly expression, he slowly walked up to him and brought the glass to his lips in front of Quan Guanqing's gradually shocked gaze.

"I've already drunk the wine. If Master Quan doesn't drink, isn't that giving face to Niu?"

"Do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Shijing did not hesitate at all. He shouted loudly and attacked Niu Dingtian with a grappling move.

Upon seeing this, Elder Xu hurriedly followed. Even though he was over eighty years old, his powerful fists could still make a whistling sound.

Quan Guanqing's face turned grim, thinking that this man was attacked from behind and would definitely return to defend. He was just about to wait for an opportunity to attack by encircling him, but he felt his right wrist was instantly captured, and then a heart-wrenching pain went straight to his forehead.

"what--"

In severe pain, Quan Guanqing screamed and opened his mouth.

"Gulu~"

The next moment, a stream of spicy wine was violently poured down his throat. (End of this chapter)
