The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 181 Going out
Fang Xun reacted immediately and frowned, "Are you telling the truth? This kind of thing is no joke!"

Yan Ming said firmly: "All of this was seen by Dongfang Que himself. A few days ago, he personally went deep into Chunyang Prefecture to investigate. There was no human habitation within a thousand miles, only a bunch of deserted villages!"

"Don't worry, take your time and tell me everything you have found out these days!"

Yan Ming's mood slowly calmed down under Fang Xun's calm voice. He took a deep breath and began to tell the story.

"Dongfang Que and I followed your instructions and monitored the Black Wind Village. We discovered the problem within a few days."

He told everything he knew.

The Sihai Escort Agency met with the bandit convoy, and what Dongfang Que saw and heard after entering Chunyang Mansion.
Now in the huge Chunyang Prefecture, except for the prefecture city and the county towns, there is no trace of human habitation anywhere else.

The villagers in every village in the wild have disappeared, suspected to have been abducted by the Tianli Cult. This situation has been going on for about a month.

When Fang Xun heard this, he felt a surge of shock in his heart.

"Such a big thing, but other places in Jiangzhou didn't even hear a single word about it. And the secret arrests in Chunyang Prefecture are probably already in danger. The intelligence they send back every day is all fabricated!"

But he soon calmed down and asked Yan Ming: "Why are you the only one back? Is there a shortage of people in the East?"

Yan Ming said solemnly.

“After learning about this, Dongfang Que asked me to come back and report the news first, while he continued to keep an eye on the Black Wind Village.

Black Wind Village transported a large amount of pig iron and grain to the border of Chunyang Prefecture to exchange with the convoy of Sihai Escort Agency, and then transported back to the village in large sealed boxes.

Dongfang Que is going to continue to wait and see if these boxes will be transported to other places again."

At the same time, Dongfang Que's figure was shuttling through the mountains and forests.

In front of him, a convoy was carrying the large boxes that Yan Ming mentioned and was moving deeper into the Corridor Mountains.

After investigating Chunyang Mansion and finding something wrong, Dongfang Que did not stay for long and quickly returned to the vicinity of Heifeng Village to meet up with Yan Ming.

Then Yan Ming returned to Jinling City to report the news, while he continued to monitor.

After waiting for a day, we saw a group of people setting off again from the Black Wind Village, carrying these sealed large boxes and continuing to move deeper into the Corridor Mountains.

The convoy traveled day and night, and Dongfang Que followed for five days in a row, but still did not reach the destination.

As he went deeper and deeper into the Corridor Mountains, the chill in his heart grew.

The dozen or so mountain villages that passed by along the way actually ignored this convoy.

"Just as Brother Xun guessed before, a considerable number of the bandits in the Corridor Mountains are from the Sanyuetang. I just don't know what the situation is like in the Tianwang Water Stronghold, which sits on the top spot."

Dongfang Que thought in his mind and continued to follow. He had only been out for nearly ten days and believed that he would be able to reach the destination within a month.

And here in Jinling City.

After Fang Xun learned from Yan Ming that Dongfang Que decided to continue tracking, he frowned and sighed.

"He should have come back with you immediately. Although the purpose of Sanyuetang is important, it is not worth going into danger for it.

There are many hidden talents in the depths of the Corridor Mountains. People from the Sanyue Hall are everywhere, and we don’t know the details of the Tianwang Water Stronghold either. If we are not careful, we will be easily surrounded.”

Yan Ming also said worriedly: "Then I will go find him immediately!"

"No," Fang Xun shook his head, "You've been running around for so long, take a break first. Dongfang Que's Qinggong is much better than yours. As long as he's not being chased by a master, he can escape."

At this moment, the door suddenly creaked open and Duan Mingfu walked in.

"Master, Yan Ming."

Before he could finish his words, Duan Mingfu was stunned when he saw Yan Ming already beside Fang Xun.

Seeing Yan Ming's exhausted face still full of great solemnity, he immediately changed the topic and asked, "What happened?"

Fang Xun shook his head and briefly explained the matter between Dongfang Que and Chunyang Mansion. Duan Mingfu's face also became worried.

"Is Master Quexiao going to be in danger?"

Fang Xun frowned and said, "It just so happens that I have recovered from my injuries, so I am going out for a while. You announce to the public that I am in seclusion to recover and will not see any visitors. No one is allowed to enter my yard!"

Duan Mingfu was stunned: "But Master."

"That's it, don't worry, I know what to do!"

After saying that, Fang Xun changed into black clothes, opened a secret compartment in the room, and took out the Bronze Ghost Mask and the Prison Moon Sword.

While packing his luggage, he said to Yan Ming: "Tomorrow morning, you will report to the Six Gates and tell her about the Black Wind Village, Chunyang Mansion and the Four Seas Escort Agency."

"Okay, what about you, Brother Xun?"

"Before going to the Corridor Mountains, I will go to the Sihai Escort Agency first to see if their escort leader knows about this."

After saying this, Fang Xun seemed to remember something, and took out two secret books from the bookshelf and threw them on the desk.

"It just so happens that you will be back soon. The two Buddhist techniques, 'Great Vajra Power' and 'Vajra Four Directions', are the perfect link to 'Vajra Indestructible Divine Art'. Go down and recite them and burn them immediately after you have finished!"

As he spoke, Fang Xun also put on the bronze ghost mask, and his voice gradually became hoarse and sharp, like the sound of metal friction.

There are thirty-six gangs and six groups. If we have to rank them based on their apparent strength, Sihai Escort Agency and Tianfeng Tower are slightly weaker.

But this is because the two companies have spread too wide, with branches all over the world, so their strength cannot be well concentrated, which is why they are not very conspicuous.

However, Tianfeng Tower and Sihai Escort Agency have been completely integrated into the daily lives of ordinary people all over the world.

Especially the Sihai Escort Agency. If ordinary people want to escort an escort, the first place they would consider is definitely the Sihai Escort Agency, unless they really have no money.

The Sihai Escort Agency can be found in the 46 states of the Central Plains, the Miao jungles, the Western Deserts, and the Northern grasslands.

In the five states of the Central Plains, the escort leaders are all masters of Yin Shen, and the headquarters is headed by a grand master of Yang Shen.

As for the other states, even if they cannot spare a master to take charge, the escort leaders are all at the highest level of enlightenment, and they are young and have the hope of breaking through to the divine will.

They are not very conspicuous when separated, but if they gather together, their power is quite terrifying. This is the case with the Jiangzhou branch, but the business here has not been very good recently.

Sihai Escort Agency is located in the western dock area of ​​Jinling City, with numerous buildings and a majestic atmosphere.

But there is no longer the usual spectacular sight of hundreds of ships lining the river and coming and going. This is all caused by the Luo Kang case.

However, the escort agency's business was even worse. Although it was late at night, the lights were still on in the deepest room of the mansion.

Dong Biao couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the account books on the table.

"When will this day end?"

As the chief escort chief of Jiangzhou, things have been going very smoothly for him recently.

Not only the business in Jinling City, but also the business of the escort agencies in other places in Jiangzhou is not very good.

In fact, this is also partly due to Fang Xun's contribution.

On weekdays, when members of Sanyuetang need to transfer goods to each other, they also like to place orders with Sihai Escort Agency.

They are just some ordinary bulk supplies. It is too troublesome to transport them by myself, so it is very convenient to find Sihai Escort Agency.

However, as Fang Xun acted recklessly, one member after another was caught, which caused many of the Sihai Escort Agency's well-negotiated deals to fall through.

Dong Biao could only hope that this storm would pass as soon as possible so that Jinling City could return to its former prosperity.

Suddenly, a harsh sound of metal friction was heard in the room.

"Captain Dong looks upset. Why don't you tell me what's bothering you?"

"Who?!"

Dong Biao's hair stood on end. Without thinking, he waved his hand and punched towards the source of the sound.

boom--

A sound of air explosion occurred out of nowhere, and the fist force gathered. A fist as big as a casserole left the body in an instant and whizzed towards the door of the room.

But before the fist flew out a foot, a gust of wind came towards him and hit the weak spot.

With a puff, the fist force dissipated silently, as if nothing had happened.

Dong Biao's eyes suddenly widened as he looked at the tall figure leaning against the door.

A man in black appeared in the room at some point. He was wearing a bronze ghost mask with green face and fangs. The words "Prison Moon" on the hilt of the long sword at his waist flashed a chilling light.

He was absolutely sure that he had thrown the punch just now after the opponent had thrown a gust of strong wind.

But it felt like the opponent had predicted the trajectory of his punch and had foreseen it by sending out a gust of strong wind to block it.

It was as if the whole process was not that the other party took the initiative to attack, and then you resisted.

Instead, the opponent anticipated the punch and took the initiative to block it.

Everything is so contradictory and incredible, but it is actually happening in front of me.

Dong Biao felt that this contradictory feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

Fang Xun simply said, "Is this how Dong Biaotou treats guests?"

Dong Biao smiled wryly and said, "Haha, coming uninvited late at night, is that the way to be a guest?"

Although he was smiling, he did not dare to relax for a moment. He looked at the uninvited guest as if he was facing a great enemy, prepared for the other party to suddenly attack him.

Fang Xun shook his head: "Forget it, since Chief Dong doesn't welcome me, I don't want to stay any longer. Answer a few of my questions, and if I'm satisfied, I'll leave immediately!"

As he spoke, Fang Xun stared at Dong Biao with his eyes fixed, his mind empty.

The Taixu Eye, the Turtle Mirror, and the Wonderful Music Spiritual Flying Sutra were fully activated, sensing Dong Biao's voice, expression, and emotions, and even slightly perceived the flow of the other party's internal Qi.

After absorbing Gu Shentong's insights, he was also able to somewhat achieve the same foresight as the other party.

The principle is actually not complicated. It is through observing the qi, listening to the fluctuations, and then using the help of celestial magic to derive the trajectory of development of all things.

He had just observed the trajectory of Dong Biao's true energy circulation and guessed that the other party would attack him immediately after hearing the sound, so he sent out a gust of strong wind to break the opponent's punch.

Now that he was concentrating fully on sensing, it was of course impossible for him to sense the specific information in the other person's mind, but he could still tell whether he was lying or not.

"Ok?"

In an instant, Dong Biao frowned. He felt as if he was naked under the other person's gaze, and his heart went cold.

He suppressed this strange feeling, but did not continue to ask Fang Xun's questions. Instead, he spoke.

"I have never offended you, so why did you come to me late at night to ask questions?"

When he saw Fang Xun for the first time, he recognized him as the Ghost-faced Man who had become famous in recent months.

Before, he thought that the ghost-faced man was at most at the highest level of enlightenment, and his strength was about the same as his own.

But after actually meeting each other, Dong Biao felt that the other party was unfathomable.

First, there was suddenly another person in the room, but I didn't notice anything at all.

Afterwards, the strange and prophetic methods made him realize that he was no match for the other party.

So he wanted to delay time. The loud sound of his punch just now would surely alert other people in the escort agency and rush over.

But Fang Xun shook his head and said calmly: "Boss Dong, I don't want to kill anyone today. Please cooperate and don't delay. No one outside can hear any movement in the house!"

Dong Biao looked unconvinced when he heard this, but the next moment, when he sensed that all the vital energy of heaven and earth in the room actually contained the other party's aura, his expression changed completely.
