The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 240 Changes in Jianye City

A few days later.

The Luo family, one of the thirty-six seventh families, was wiped out, and floods ravaged most of Lingzhou.

These two pieces of news swept across the country like a hurricane, spreading throughout the entire Jiangnan region in just a few days, and were still spreading to other parts of the Central Plains at an even faster pace.

For a time, everyone in the eight states of Jiangnan was shocked. Without waiting for any reaction from the capital of Shuntian Prefecture, a large number of top officials from the three states of Jiang, Qing and Wu, which were close to Lingzhou, rushed to Lingzhou to investigate the news.

In Jinling City, Fang Xun was also extremely surprised when he heard the news about Duan Mingfu.

"Are you kidding? The Luo family is so big that it's gone, and Lingzhou is so peaceful that it suddenly breaks out into a flood that only happens once in a thousand years?"

After he resigned from the post of deputy commander of the Six Gates, Dongfang Que and the other two also resigned from their positions as silver medal constables.

The four of them stayed in their own yard all day long, practicing diligently and never taking a step out.

Who would have thought that within just a few days, such a shocking event would happen in Lingzhou next door.

Duan Mingfu also confirmed again and again with a serious expression.

"Master, this is indeed true. The news came from the state government and the Six Gates. Luo Gang has been sent by Dong Yunchuan to Lingzhou to investigate.

All the people in the prefectural army, the Six Gates, and the state government have started to move, preparing supplies and food, waiting for the Shuntian Prefecture capital to issue the order to start the broadcast. "

Fang Xun asked in a serious tone: "Do you know who did this?"

Duan Mingfu said solemnly, "Third on the Heavenly Ranking, the White Lotus Mother of the Tianli Sect!"

Fang Xun felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.

This is a true madman who believes that all living beings in the world are filthy and that blood sacrifices are needed to purify this filthy world.

If he was just a madman, that wouldn't be scary. What's scary is that this madman is ranked third on the Heavenly List, the founder of the Tianli Sect, and there is a high possibility that he will break through to Zhenwu after his spiritual power is revived!
"That is to say, the White Lotus Mother may still be in Lingzhou?!"

Fang Xun felt a chill down his spine at the thought of being so close to such a terrifying lunatic.

If the other party did not go to Lingzhou this time, but came to Jinling City.
Duan Mingfu was also shuddering unconsciously, and shook his head fiercely, saying: "I don't know if she is still in Lingzhou, but I guess she should have left. Otherwise, if she continues to stay in Lingzhou, she will be besieged by countless masters in the world!"

Fang Xun said with a depressed look, "But she is a lunatic. It is impossible to predict what a lunatic will do!

I feel that this matter is not that simple. The White Lotus Mother is not acting alone. It is possible that this is also part of the Black Water Abyss’ plan. I hope I am just worrying too much.”

Duan Mingfu's face changed after hearing this, and just as he was about to say something, Fang Xun waved his hand.

"Our small family and business cannot afford to suffer any more. We need to prepare as soon as possible and move the headquarters of the Four Forms Hall to Chunyang Prefecture in advance."

Duan Mingfu nodded: "Understood, I will make arrangements as soon as possible!"

Inside the room, after Duan Mingfu left, Fang Xun's mind sank into the martial arts hall again.

During this period, he either communicated with Meng Chixing or learned from Yuan Tiangang every day. He felt his own strength improving bit by bit, and his life was very fulfilling.

But unfortunately, he had a premonition that the rare peace would soon be broken again.

"I'm going to speed up, too."

After calming down, Fang Xun pushed open the door of the martial arts hall.

On the long street, Meng Chixing stood quietly, facing Fang Xun from a distance.

"Sorry, let's make this quick."

Meng Chixing only felt a strong desire to fight in Fang Xun's eyes, so he didn't say anything else.

The two looked at each other from a distance.

The terrifying aura slowly rose up, causing the airflow to stagnate.

Both of them were gathering their strength. Since they were planning to end the battle quickly, they would decide the outcome with one move!

It was unknown how long it had been, but Meng Chixing's face darkened and his whole body was filled with true energy, causing a gust of air to roar along the long street, blowing all the street stalls toppled over.

He was the first to attack, and his fist, which looked like it was carved from white marble, struck out fiercely.

boom--

The enormous force was like a mountain torrent, powerful, vast and indestructible, and large areas of stone slabs around it exploded inch by inch.

The overwhelming force of the fist came pressing down, but the power did not dissipate in the slightest, and all poured towards Fang Xun.

This punch seemed to be natural and flawless.

Fang Xun's face was calm, and an aura of indifference and transcendence emanated from him. He did not choose to dodge with his body movements, but instead planned to take the punch head-on.

He raised his right hand and shaped it into a knife. An extremely intense red flame rose up and attached to the surface of his palm like a spirit snake.

Suddenly, an extremely huge fire knife was formed, burning like a red lotus fire.

With a slight movement of his palm, a Fire Path Refining Shura burst out with a red light that covered the sky and collided with Meng Chixing's heaven-shattering and earth-splitting fist.

boom--

The fist force collided with the sword light, exploding into balls of fire. The streets within a hundred meters were all set on fire.

Meng Chixing only felt a sharp pain in his chest.

puff--

A huge wound ran diagonally from the shoulder to the waist, blood gushed out like a fountain, and the black clothes that seemed to be splashed with thick ink were burned into powder in an instant.

But Meng Chixing's perfect body was now covered with burn marks.

He looked at Fang Xun opposite him and saw that there was a fist-sized hole in his chest, and his internal organs could be vaguely seen.

Although the wound looked horrible, it healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Feeling the opponent's aura becoming stronger after being injured, Meng Chixing sighed.

"I lost."

The opponent removed the force from the punch on the wound in a short time, and the injury recovered in a short while.

Looking at himself, the scorching knife energy was still raging in his body like a cancer.

Which one is strong and which one is weak is clear at a glance.

After admitting defeat, Meng Chixing's figure slowly disappeared. After Fang Xun quickly received his memory insights, his figure also disappeared in the long street.

In the parade ground, Fang Xun's figure appeared again, and he soon saw the new name that appeared on the fourth gate.

[Li Chenzhou, Yinshen Realm, from "Heroes of China", to be defeated]

Seeing this name, Fang Xun showed a smile.

"Very good, I like this kind of head-on confrontation!"

"Is this Jianye City?"

Lei Qing looked at this magnificent city up close and couldn't help but be amazed.

Although he had stayed in Guangling Prefecture most of the time before, he had also been to Jinling City several times.

But now that I have seen Jianye City, I suddenly feel that Jinling City is nothing.

Wuzhou is the center of the entire Jiangnan region, and Jianye City can be regarded as the center of the eight states in Jiangnan.

The city gate is tall and eye-catching, and there is a wide moat outside, but the most exaggerated thing is the city wall.

At a rough glance, the city wall was no less than a hundred meters high. Even if Master Yin Shen jumped with all his strength, he could only jump thirty or forty meters high. If he wanted to fly over the city wall, he had better forget it.

Lei Qing didn't know how thick the city wall was, but he could imagine it by looking at the dark hole in the city gate. Moreover, the material did not look like ordinary stone bricks, but was extremely hard.

This design is also to defend against those martial arts masters who can fly high. At least the Yin Shen Master cannot fly over, and if you want to break through the city wall, it will take at least a quarter of an hour.

Just by looking at the tall and thick city wall, Lei Qing felt a sense of security in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a noise in Lei Qing's ears.

Click——click——click——

'Um? '

He immediately saw that the city gate in the distance was slowly closing.

I looked up at the sky again. The sun was shining brightly and there was not a single cloud in the sky.

'Oops!'

Lei Qing's heart skipped a beat, and without hesitation he climbed onto the horse's back and whipped the horse hard.

"drive!"

The horse roared in pain, spread its hooves and ran wildly, then began to flee into the distance at a rapid speed.

Lei Qing didn't think about it at all. Why were the city gates suddenly closed in broad daylight? There must be something fishy going on!
In an instant, the crowd queuing at the city gate was in chaos, dodging frantically to avoid the galloping horses, and ending up with dust all over their faces.

But before anyone could open their mouths to curse, there was a sudden loud bang from the city gate.

A terrifying gust of wind swept past, blowing the soldiers on both sides of the city gate flying.

whoosh-

A man in blue clothes, covered in blood, was seen rushing out of the city gate holding a nine-year-old child. He was so fast that only a blue line could be seen in the air.

There were several whistling sounds chasing him closely behind him.

As soon as he rushed out of the city gate, the man saw Lei Qing riding his horse at full speed trying to escape from here, and his face was stunned for a moment.

But immediately he gritted his teeth and threw the child out of his arms.

"Take care, young master!"

whoosh-

But seeing that child drew a parabola in the air and fell accurately towards the top of his head, Lei Qing was stunned and subconsciously caught the child in his arms.

It was a young child, with precious things on his body and a jade longevity lock around his neck, with the word "Yue" engraved on it.

"The prince of Yue Palace?! I *&(**)"

Lei Qing's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he uttered all kinds of unpleasant words.

Although I don’t know what exactly happened in Jianye City, it is definitely not a good thing!
He quickly turned his head and looked towards the city gate, and saw the man in blue clothes covered in blood standing at the entrance of the city gate.

The man's eyes were filled with determination and his face was resolute. He turned around and rushed back into the city gate.

Boom——

But there was a loud bang, and the nearby city walls shook three times.

With a clang, the tall and majestic city gate closed, like a giant beast closing its mouth.

When Lei Qing saw this scene, he swung the whip in his hand faster.

"I shouldn't have come to Jianye City!!!!!!!"
