Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 10 Tit for tat
The next day.

Ji Chang rushed to the county town early in the morning.

Just as he arrived at the city gate, waiting for it to open.

Ji Chang noticed that the old and dilapidated wanted poster on the city wall had been replaced with a brand new one.

A large crowd of passers-by gathered around this new wanted poster.

Ji Chang mixed in and carefully looked at the brand new wanted poster.

Like the previous wanted order for Man Tian He, this one is also for Man Tian He.

The difference is that the wanted poster now is more refined, and the portrait on it has become more realistic and lifelike, as if it were a real person.

More appearance information is written in a corner of the wanted poster, including Man Tianhe's height, body shape, hairstyle and other features are all marked in detail.

Ji Chang secretly sighed in his heart, wondering if it was because Wan Tianhe had attacked Miss Liang that the portrait was so detailed that it far surpassed the previous versions.

However, what caught people's attention most was the line of words below the wanted poster.

"A reward of five hundred taels, regardless of life or death!"

"Anyone who has important information will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver."

Five hundred taels of silver is not a small sum of money.

You have to know that the average family’s annual income is only a few dozen taels of silver.

After reading it, Ji Chang felt a little moved.

However, when I thought about the time when I was spying on Li Gui before, I once heard them talking about Wantian He being a master at the third level of refinement.

Ji Chang gave up the idea.

The third-level warrior has already trained his tendons into strength, which is a qualitative improvement compared to the first- and second-level warriors.

These three warriors have cultivated great strength and are able to release that strength externally, greatly increasing the power of their every move.

Ji Chang knew clearly that with his current strength, facing the three martial artists was like throwing an egg against a rock.

What's more, Wantian He is a famous martial arts master in Cangling County and has rich practical experience.

This was far beyond the reach of a novice like me who had almost no practical experience other than hunting.

"Did you hear that?"

"In addition to the government's reward, the Black Mountain Gang is also offering a reward for Wantian He."

"If you can catch this Wantian Crane, the reward alone will be one thousand taels of silver."

"what?"

"why?"

"Could it be that this Wantian He is cheating on the leader of the Black Mountain Gang?"

"That's hard to say."

Hearing the discussions of passers-by around him, Ji Chang raised his eyebrows slightly.

In his opinion, the Black Mountain Gang's move was simply an active publicity of the fact that their young leader was cuckolded by Wantian He.

It seems that it won't be long before the fact that Young Master Li was cuckolded will become known to everyone.

Not long after, it was time to open the city gates.

When paying the fee to enter the city, Ji Chang noticed that the guards at the city gate had become more stringent in their defense and inspections today.

However, this is of little use to third-level masters like Wantian Hena.

Martial artists who have trained their muscles into strong strength can already rely on their strength to perform light and leaping techniques.

How can it be stopped by mere city walls and soldiers?

Walking into the county town, Ji Chang noticed that there were a lot more soldiers and gang members of the Black Mountain Gang on the streets.

Ji Chang also knew a little about the situation in Heishan County.

After all, I have lived here for nearly twenty years.

Heishan County belonged to Cangling County, Jiaozhou, Zheng State.

Unlike many dynasties in previous history, the imperial power of Zheng State in this world is not strong, and can even be said to be extremely weak.

Not to mention that the imperial power did not extend to the countryside, the imperial court could not even reach the county. Officials at all levels in the county were all from local noble families.

For example, Heishan County has three major families.

The Xu family, the Zheng family, and the Liang family.

They respectively held the three highest official posts in Heishan County, namely county magistrate, county assistant secretary and county lieutenant, as well as various other positions, large and small, which had been inherited for more than a hundred years.

As for the Black Mountain Gang, it is a civilian force in Heishan County, but has only emerged in the last two or three decades.

Before the Black Mountain Gang, there were many other gangs in Black Mountain County.

But with the rapid rise of the Black Mountain Gang, these gangs were all merged or disappeared without exception.

It is said that the reason why the Black Mountain Gang was able to grow and become stronger was due to the tacit approval and promotion of the three major powerful families in the county.

Today's Heishan County is oppressed by the three major families above and exploited by the Heishan Gang below.

After selling the prey, Ji Chang took the money and walked towards the pharmacy he used to go to.

Ji Chang had just walked onto the street where the pharmacy was located when he heard a loud bang.

His attention was immediately drawn to the pharmacy several dozen feet away, only to see that it had become a mess.

A figure was violently kicked out of the broken pharmacy, and fell heavily on the street amid flying rubble and dust, causing a cry of surprise.

The next moment, a tall and straight figure rushed out from the ruins of the pharmacy, like a tiger out of a cage, with a fierce momentum, and chased after the previous figure closely.

The street instantly turned into a battlefield between the two people. They moved quickly, and every time they took a step, cracks appeared on the ground.

Their moves were swift and brutal, as if the hatred between them had accumulated to a point where it could not be resolved.

Every punch and every kick contains powerful force.

Although they were fighting with bare hands, every time the two men clashed, it was like two weapons colliding with each other, making a harsh collision sound.

As the force exploded, the surrounding buildings suffered continuous damage. The walls were cracked, the windows were shattered, and tiles on the roofs fell off one after another.

The pedestrians on the street had already fled in all directions, leaving only an empty battlefield and two warriors fighting fiercely.

Ji Chang also immediately followed the crowd and retreated to the rear.

But as he retreated, he turned back and stared at the two of them closely.

Ji Chang did not recognize the former of these two warriors, but he recognized the latter.

It can even be said that it couldn't be more familiar.

Over the past six months, he has seen that man's face almost every day.

This person is Li Gui’s father, the master of the third level of training, and the owner of the Black Mountain Martial Arts School, Li Ying.

His five fingers were bent like an eagle's beak, and his fingertips were flashing with cold light, as if they had really turned into ferocious eagle claws.

As he swung the sword, a sharp sound of breaking wind was heard in the air, so fierce and fast that it was impossible to see the trajectory of his movements.

This is the Eagle Claw Technique that Ji Chang has been practicing for more than half a year.

If that is the case, the one who could make Li Ying so furious must be the flower thief Wan Tianhe.

Not bad.

Ji Chang looked at the man carefully.

Although this person was different from the portrait on the wanted poster, his movements were light and erratic, and his moves were flexible and varied. He always cleverly avoided Li Ying's attacks at critical moments and launched a fierce counterattack.

A person with such strength must be Wan Tianhe, the famous three-refining master in Cangling County.

I think he probably used some disguise to cover it up.

Ji Chang was suddenly startled because he remembered that he had seen this person before.

A few days ago, he went to a pharmacy to buy medicinal materials and met this man on his way out.

I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but I didn't expect that this person was actually Wantian He.

Thinking of this, Ji Chang quickly concentrated his energy and planted the peep mark on his body.

Then, it quickly left in other directions.
