Martial Arts Becomes Invincible Starting from the Golden Body

Chapter 38 The Wanted Order
Shangguanfu

Shangguan Hong stood by the study window, feeling the rising and falling breath from the west of the city, his brows slightly furrowed.

What's going on lately?
You don't give him any face at all, right?

"Cao Yi!"

"I'm here!" A black-faced man came in from outside the room.

"Go and see what Xu Yao is doing?"

Cao Yi: “?”

This time was not as bad as the time when Li Guiyuan shouted loudly. With his strength, he couldn't sense a place that far away.

"I have something to report!"

A pale-faced scholar appeared outside the room and spoke urgently.

"Haha, okay, you don't take me seriously, right? You all jump out one after another!" Shangguan Hong was almost laughing out of anger.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

The pale-faced scholar's forehead was covered with sweat, "Heavenly Sword Martial Arts School is here to report the wanted order!"

"Xu Yao? Who does he want to arrest?" Shangguan Hong frowned.

"Zhou Yang was assassinated in the mansion, and Wu Zhongwu was also killed by the thieves!"

Cao Yi's pupils shrank slightly after hearing this. Wu Zhong and Zhou Yang were both important figures in the city, and their status was only second to the blood coagulation warriors. Naturally, he remembered them.

"Zhou Yang? Who is Wu Zhong?"

But Shangguan Hong didn't know who these two people were. As long as they were not blood coagulation warriors, he didn't care much.

Zhou Yang only has an ordinary superior physique. It is still unknown whether he can break through the barrier and coagulate blood. It is not worth his concern.

Oh, Zhou Yang seemed to have some impression of him. After all, what happened a few days ago involved Old Man Li. Was he Old Ghost Xu’s apprentice?
Cao Yi was not surprised. Everyone said that Li Guiyuan was arrogant. In his opinion, his own city lord was no less arrogant.

He immediately whispered something in Shangguan Hong's ear.

"Xu Laogui's apprentice?"

Shangguan Hong was intrigued and looked strange.

"Haha, so someone killed his apprentice in his territory and got away with it?"

The pale-faced scholar smiled bitterly and nodded. City Lord, this is a shocking event. Xu Yao must have gone mad with rage!

"Interesting, interesting!"

Shangguan Hong is not angry now. Although Xu Yao is a waste, to be honest, he is already the ceiling in Tongcheng. Ordinary people would never dare to touch him.

"Go find out what's going on. Well, I've issued a wanted order for him. I'm also curious about who is so brave!"

After hearing this, the pale-faced scholar whispered a few more words.

"Two thousand taels of gold? Is Old Ghost Xu crazy?"

Shangguan Hong couldn't help but be shocked. Silver is cheap and gold is expensive. He would feel painful if he took out this amount of gold.

"This old guy is really angry and confused!"

He shook his head and didn't bother to care since it wasn't his money anyway.

"Well, let Xu Yao hand over the deposit, as well as my wanted tax. Remember to ask him to pay with gold, otherwise I won't give it to you." Shangguan Hong said with a smile.

It’s just a few bucks from exploiting the common people, but Shangguan Hong directly puts the money into the pockets of martial arts schools and aristocratic families!

Stone House
Butler Shi Zhong rushed into Young Master Shi Yu's room. Due to the special circumstances and the master's instructions, he could no longer care about much else.

"Master!"

Standing in front of the door curtain, Shi Zhong called softly.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Shi Yu woke up with a start and said unhappily.

"Zhou Yang is dead! Just now!"

"what?"

Shi Yu suddenly jumped off the bed and flashed in front of the housekeeper.

"It's absolutely true. Zhou Yang was assassinated in the mansion just now. You are going to visit him tonight. The master asked you to go there quickly!"

"I heard that Master Xu is almost going crazy!" Shi Zhong said anxiously.

After hearing this, Shi Yu hurried towards his father's study. The housekeeper's meaning was very clear, he was afraid that Xu Yao would vent his anger on him.

After all, he is really a suspect.

"Father!"

After entering the study, Shi Yu saw his father waiting for him. Shi Zhang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Are you clear about the situation?"

"Father, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Shi Yu made the first assurance.

"I know, you don't have the ability to do that, and a martial arts master died at the scene!"

"Xu Yao didn't even touch a hair of the murderer!" Shi Zhang added.

Shi Yu's pupils shrank slightly. He was able to kill Zhou Yang and another practitioner before Xu Yao arrived. This murderer must be at least a practitioner of great strength!

"But fortunately, it is said that a servant at the scene has seen the murderer's appearance, and Xu Yao has now issued a wanted order."

After hearing this, Shi Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that no one would suspect him anymore.

"Xu Yao has offered a reward of two thousand taels of gold for capturing the murderer alive!" Shi Zhang said in a serious tone.

"what?"

Shi Yu exclaimed, Zhou Yang is his biological son, right?
No, even my own son is not that valuable!

Due to its special uses, gold is much more valuable than silver and is rarely available among the people. I believe that many blood coagulation warriors would be tempted by two thousand taels of gold.

Shi Zhang also sighed. To be honest, he was tempted by the price.

The most important thing is to hope that it will not affect the plan. How can there be so many unexpected things during this period?
First it was Li Guiyuan. He was already worried because he had revealed his fifth level of blood coagulation. Now a mysterious killer has appeared. It's really...

He shook his head. He could not tell these words to anyone. Even Shi Yu only had half of the answer. After all, the matter was of great importance, and he did not quite trust his own son.

"Anyway, don't go out during this period of time, just in case Xu Yao goes crazy!"

Shi Yu nodded. In his opinion, Xu Yao was crazy to offer such a price!
……

Liyang Martial Arts School
Li Zhen hurried to Li Guiyuan's residence and saw that the door was wide open. He walked in without hesitation.

"Tell me, what happened to Xu Yao?" Li Guiyuan asked while writing.

"Master!"

"The spies reported that Zhou Yang was stabbed in his mansion, and Wu Zhong, uh, a martial arts master who was just starting out in martial arts was also killed by the murderer." Li Zhen said solemnly.

"Uh, Zhou Yang is dead?"

Li Guiyuan knew that Fang Chen valued his family, which he admired, so he arranged for people to pay special attention to the father and daughter. After knowing that Zhou Yang had sent people to investigate, he was already thinking about how to kill him.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang was finished before he even made a move?
"Forget it, this will save me from getting my hands dirty!"

"Is that it?" Li Guiyuan asked again.

Li Zhen smiled bitterly, this was a huge event. In the six counties including Tongcheng, no one had dared to touch the eight major forces for many years!

The troubled times have really come!
"Master Xu has already issued a reward of two thousand taels of gold!"

Li Guiyuan: “???”

He couldn't help but be a little surprised. Of course he didn't like it, but...

"Is this kid Zhou Yang so valuable?" Li Guiyuan asked in surprise.

He knew Xu Yao well. He was a mean, ungrateful, and selfish person. It was impossible for him to pay such a huge price even if his own son died.

"Old Ghost Xu has a secret!"

Li Guiyuan found it interesting. This bastard came to test him a few days ago, and today the death of Zhou Yang made him so nervous again. Was this old ghost trying to do something bad?

"Master, what should we do?" Li Zhen asked.

"How to do it?"

"Don't do anything! I want to see what this old ghost is up to!" Li Guiyuan said with a smile.

Li Zhen rolled his eyes secretly, and said, "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

Seeing his disciple like this, Li Guiyuan scolded him: "I have been hunting geese for so many years, and I have never had my eyes pecked!"

"Can a mere old ghost like Xu really make me fail?"

"Just wait and see. I'm sure someone's dog nose has already smelled the scent. Let's see who has the better fishing skills this time!"

"Are you talking about City Lord Shangguan?" Li Zhen understood.

Without answering him, Li Guiyuan sighed, "This time, this bastard can make a fortune again!"

Thinking of the wanted tax and secret territory tax that Shangguan Hong had created, Li Guiyuan couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

This bastard is really good at making money. That's how he saved up the money to make that sharp weapon. If he didn't have a backer, he would have been killed long ago!
"Never mind, never mind, let's just watch the show. Who knows, maybe I can get involved then."

Li Guiyuan regained his long-lost mood. Although he didn't need these trivial things, didn't he now have a good disciple?

Come to think of it, he hasn't given the apprenticeship gift yet!
