"Why? Of course, to scare the monkeys!" Zuo Le said with a bitter smile, "You must have heard that the Yu family was besieged and fled to Chenglin County, right?"

"Yeah." Qin Ziling nodded.

"It is said that the Yu family was found to be in collusion with the rebel Wang Lang of Nanding Prefecture and the Corpse Demon Sect. The Pang family united with the Lin family and used this as an excuse to seize the post of Yu Hongshan County Lieutenant and led troops to besiege the Yu family.

Originally, the Xiao family, the Lu family and the Yu family were all prosperous allies, but this matter involved rebellion and collusion with the Demon Sect, and the evidence was said to be conclusive, so the Xiao family and the Lu family did not dare to come forward, otherwise the Pang family and the Lin family did not dare to besiege them.

Yu family.

But after all, the Yu family is the largest family in Fangsheng City, second only to the Pang family in terms of strength. Yu Hongshan is the county lieutenant in charge of the army. There are countless members of the Yu family and their children in the city.

Therefore, in this battle, although the Pang family and the Lin family defeated the Yu family and uprooted the Yu family from the city, in the end, many direct descendants of the Yu family broke out of the siege and fled to Chenglin County.

Chenglin County is where the Yu family started. The Zhoujiazhuang of the five major forces outside the city is located in Chenglin County. It is secretly a force supported by the Yu family.

The Yu family fled to Chenglin County, relying on the county city and Zhoujiazhuang outside the county to form a mutual support force. Pang Qiwei led troops and horses to attack for a while, with some serious casualties. In addition, he was worried about the rebellion between the Xiao family and the Lu family, so he had to give up and return.

County, let’s make plans again.

The Yu family has been operating in Fangshu City for generations, and is involved in many industries in the city, a large part of which is grain and rice. People depend on food. When the Yu family left, they burned the grains and rice stored in the warehouse. Fangshu City's rice supply has now become a

problem, and of course there are many other problems.

It can be said that after the Yu family left, Fangshu City was left in a state of devastation and chaos. The Xiao family and the Lu family naturally stood by and watched, unable to help the Pang family and the Lin family clean up the mess.

The Pang family and the Lin family had just taken care of the Yu family, so they did not dare to touch the Xiao family and the Lu family again, otherwise it would really shake the foundation of Fangli City.

A turbulent and chaotic Fangcheng City is definitely not what the Pang family and the Lin family want. But the Pang family and the Lin family finally uprooted the Yu family. Without the constraints of the largest force, they will naturally not miss the opportunity to conquer all the forces.

The Xiao family and the Lu family couldn't move for the time being, so they decided to target martial artists like us.

I had previously kicked Nangong Yue out of the door, which was equivalent to a slap in the face of the Lin family. Now that I am a Huajin martial artist, I am gaining momentum. Naturally, the Pang family wants to use me to scare everyone around.

Originally, this was nothing. I am a Huajin martial artist and Pang Qiwei is the county guard. He and his contemporaries from the Pang family are definitely not suitable to take action. On the Lin family side, Lin Tianjun and Lin Tianrui, among the second generation figures, are both captains of the defense army.

They are of high position and powerful, and they are all about the same age as me and in the same realm. Firstly, they cannot lower their status to compete with me, and secondly, they are not sure of defeating me.

Therefore, even if the Pang and Lin families wanted to perform surgery on me, there was no suitable candidate. But it happened that Pang Qiwei's son Pang Tianpeng returned to Fangcheng City from Jinliemen to study martial arts a while ago.

In terms of seniority, Pang Tianpeng is the same as the third generation of the Lin family, with no official position or position. He came to me in the name of discussing and asking for advice, which is justified. Even if I knew his intentions, I would not be able to refuse unless I was willing to surrender and submit to the Pang family.

This Pang Tianpeng is really powerful. He has already reached the realm of bone refining at the age of only twenty-eight. It is said that like his father, he also has iron arms as the foundation to condense his strength. He has been learning from his father since he was a child.

Iron Arm Fist, and also learned Vajra Flame Palm from Long Xiaotian, the elder of Jinlie Sect.

The palms are like swords, the iron arms are like spears and sticks, and the force emitted is extremely fierce, and it also has the property of burning flames. Once it is penetrated out of the body, it will penetrate into the body like flames, causing the flames to burn the body, which is very serious.

.

I only exchanged two moves with him before he hit me in the chest with his palm. If I hadn't cultivated the Cold Iron Strength, which is cold and hard, and could neutralize part of his strength, I would have been seriously injured on the spot.

After all, Pang Tianpeng still had to take his reputation and influence into consideration, so he didn't kill me again after the slap. Of course, he also believed that this slap had seriously damaged my strength foundation. At my age, I would probably lose my energy, blood, and strength within a few years.

, and eventually became the most ordinary martial artist.

After this incident, I closed down the boxing academy in the city and moved them all to Shuiyue Villa, and strengthened the scope. The boxing academy in the city saw that I was seriously injured by Pang Tianpeng in just two or three moves, and some of them were afraid of succumbing to Pang Tianpeng.

The powerful family members became guest ministers or generals of the Pang family. There were also some people who had roots in the village outside the city and were unwilling to succumb to the Pang family, so they withdrew from the county and relied on the village to form their own power.

However, this is not a long-term solution. The Pang family and the Lin family now have to clean up the mess left by the Yu family and prepare for the Yu family's counterattack. Of course, the Xiao family and the Lu family are also watching eagerly, so they can't make room for the time being.

Take action to completely conquer the forces outside the city like us.

Once the Pang family and the Lin family sort out the mess left by the Yu family, marshal their troops and capture Chenglin County, and then suppress the Xiao family and the Lu family until they dare not move, I'm afraid it's time to deal with us one by one."

Having said this, Zuo Le looked angry and worried.

"Since the Yu family can escape from the county and occupy Chenglin County, they obviously still have some strength. They cannot just sit back and wait for the Pang family and the Lin family to attack and destroy them.

Also, didn't you say that the Yu family colluded with the Wang family in Nanding Prefecture and the Corpse Demon Sect? In the past, we had to keep things secretive and didn't dare to rely on those forces too much. Now we are definitely letting go and borrowing these external forces.

Therefore, it is definitely not that easy for the Pang family and the Lin family to attack and destroy them."

Qin Ziling saw the worried look on Zuo Le's face and mentioned the Pang family's attack on Chenglin County. He couldn't help but suddenly think of the ambush he encountered on the mountain trail outside the city at the fourth watch.

The other party mistook him for a member of the Yu family.

"You're right. Recently I heard some rumors that the Yu family has sent many skilled assassins to specifically select the children of the Pang family and the Lin family to assassinate. For this reason, the Pang family and the Lin family have lost many skilled assassins," Zuo Le said.

.

"That's right. The Yu family is a local family. Ming's power has been uprooted, but there must be some secret agents left in the city. With them acting as internal agents, it's easy to get some information or sneak in some assassins. Hehe

, of course the Xiao family and the Lu family must be happy to do it." After hearing this, Qin Ziling completely understood why he was ambushed.

"That's true, but once the Yu family left, the Pang family and the Lin family now have an absolute advantage in Fangshu City, and Pang Tianpeng has now broken through and become a great bone refining martial artist, and behind him is one of the three major martial arts sects in Xiyunzhou.

Long Xiaotian, the elder of the Jinlie Sect, is at the peak of his power.

It is impossible for the Xiao family and the Lu family to shake their power and prestige, and they will have to succumb to them sooner or later." Zuo Le said rather pessimistically.

"The three major martial arts sects in Xiyun Prefecture?" Qin Ziling had a look of inquiry on his face.

Since his rebirth, his mind has been focused on martial arts training. Except for the big forces in Fangshan County who know it well, the forces in other places don't know much about it.

"Xiyun Prefecture has eight counties under its jurisdiction, and there are many martial arts sects. However, there are only three sects with martial arts masters, Jinlie Sect, Hunyuan Sect and Feixing Sect. Jinlie Sect is located in Jinyan Mountain outside the city.

Lord Bai Yu Lieyang is a master of Zang Refining Realm, and his strength is unfathomable.

Hunyuan Sect is located in Yunrui County, and its sect leader Mu Ziqing is a martial arts master at the Zang-refining realm. Feixing Sect is located in Qinghe County, and its leader Donnie Yen is also a martial arts master at the Zang-refining realm.

"Donnie Yen?" Qin Ziling's expression suddenly became very subtle when he heard this.

In his world, this was a world-famous martial arts superstar!

"Is there any problem?" Zuo Le glanced at Qin Ziling in surprise.

"No, I just think the name is very good." Qin Ziling said casually.

"Really?" Zuo Le muttered, and then continued: "These three people are the three martial arts masters recognized by our Xiyun Prefecture. They are powerful and have a transcendent status. Pang Tianpeng's master, Long Xiaotian, the elder of the Jinlie Sect

It is said that he is a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining."

"A great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining?" Qin Ziling's face changed slightly.

"Yes, although the great martial arts masters in the late stage of bone refining are not as strong as the martial arts masters, they are definitely as powerful as the giant pillars to us!" Zuo Le looked worried again.

"Long Xiaotian is Long Xiaotian, and Pang Tianpeng is Pang Tianpeng. I think as an elder of the three major martial arts sects in Xiyunzhou, under normal circumstances, he should not easily interfere in the affairs of our Fangshan County. The imperial court must also have this

regulations." Qin Ziling said.

"That's for sure. The family has family rules and the state has national laws. After all, warriors are also in white clothes. How can they interfere in the affairs of the imperial court and the country? But now that the world is getting chaotic, the imperial court's control and suppression of martial arts sects has become weaker and weaker.

.

Even if Long Xiaotian is unable to take action due to the regulations of the court and the constraints of various forces, he can still send his disciples to help the Pang family.

This time, Pang Tianpeng came to Fangshan County with two of Long Xiaotian's most famous disciples. One was named Qin Gen and the other was Sui Wufang. They were both young men in their twenties, but they were already Huajin.

realm.

These two are nominally following Pang Tianpeng down the mountain for training, but actually they are here to help the Pang family," Zuo Le said.

"It's different if you have a prominent family background in Zhoucheng. However, behind the Yu family are the Nanding Zhou Wang family and the Corpse Demon Sect. The Xiao family and the Lu family are not vegetarians. They must have some backers behind them, so it's too early to draw a conclusion now.

morning.

But no matter what happens in the future, our top priority now is to strengthen our own strength. Only with stronger strength can we have greater voice and self-protection ability in the unknown future." Qin Ziling said with a serious expression.

He knew that the facts were before him, and it would be difficult to completely dispel Zuo Le's pessimistic mentality.

Unless he tells Zuo Le, he has a bigger trump card in hand, and Xiao Qing of the Xiao family is already a Huajin martial artist. Once he breaks through, even Pang Tianpeng will be inferior to her.

After all, Zuo Le was a martial artist who had gone through many storms. Hearing this, his expression gradually became awe-inspiring.

"Don't worry. Since I said that this old man will be at your disposal from now on, no matter what the predicament is, I will spare no effort. And I believe that you are by no means a creature in the pool. I just need to give you time." Zuo Le said solemnly.

.

"Yes, time!" Qin Ziling nodded with emotion after hearing this, and then said, "By the way, Master Zuo, since it is convenient to talk about it, please tell me about the Qi Refining Sect in Xiyun Prefecture."

"The Qi Refining Sect is much more mysterious than the martial arts sect. We in the martial arts community rarely talk about it. In addition, Fangshan County is located in a remote corner of the country, with poor mountains and rivers. There is no Qi Refining Taoist sect established here, so what I know is very limited.

I only know that the most powerful Qi refining sects in Xiyun Prefecture are the Biyun Sect in Taihuang Mountain in Qinghe County, and the Xuanwu Valley in the prefecture city.

In addition to these two sects, there are many qi refining sects and families in Xiyun Prefecture. But if you want to know the specific strength and powerful figures, I am afraid you will have to ask someone in the qi refining world or I will ask someday.

Lu Taiqiang’s father, Lu Jiancang, asked about it.

After all, the Lu family is one of the five major families in Fangshu City. They have business dealings in various parts of Xiyun Prefecture, and the people they come into contact with must have many more sources of information than me." Zuo Le said.

"That's not necessary, I'm just asking casually." Qin Ziling waved his hand, then stood up and said, "I will go to the city now to check the situation, and I will send you good things to recover from your injuries later."

"What kind of good thing is it?" Zuo Le was shocked and couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Hey, Master Zuo will know it then." Qin Ziling said mysteriously.

"You guy, you are trying to get away from me!" Seeing Qin Ziling's mysterious look, Qin Ziling seemed to be infected, and his heavy heart suddenly became much lighter.

…

After leaving Shuiyue Villa, Qin Ziling strode towards Fangshu City.

On a summer morning, the city should have been quite lively with people coming and going, but Qin Ziling felt a bit of winter desolation, with few people walking on the street.
