"Reporting to the Palace Master, I have ordered all the experts from the Law Enforcement Palace in the Seventh City District to seal off the major passes and city gates. They searched all night, but they were not found. Orange Moon Star Envoy and Di Yi should have escaped."
The head of the Law Enforcement Palace, Shen Fengtian, stood in the middle of an empty street. When he heard the reports from his subordinates, his face became increasingly cold.
Throughout the night, Shen Fengtian tracked down the traces of Di Yi and Orange Moon Star Envoy, but to no avail. The two of them seemed to have evaporated from the world, disappearing without a trace.
"Damn it! Di Yi and Orange Moon Star Envoy are both highly trained talents in the black market. If we can capture them, it will definitely be a great achievement. With this great achievement, I will have the opportunity to enter the Holy Vein to practice."
Shen Fengtian gritted his teeth and said very unwillingly: "Someone must be helping them, otherwise they wouldn't be able to escape."
The warrior kneeling on the ground said: "The palace master is referring to Zhang Ruochen? Could it be that... he is an undercover agent in the black market?"
Of course Shen Fengtian would not think that Zhang Ruochen was an undercover agent in the black market.
First, Zhang Ruochen defeated Di Yi once, and that time was a severe blow to the black market. At the same time, it also made Zhang Ruochen completely offend the black market.
Secondly, even if Zhang Ruochen is an undercover agent in the black market, it is absolutely impossible for him to let go of Orange Moon Star Envoy so blatantly. It will not do him any good.
However, even if Zhang Ruochen is not a member of the black market, he is definitely involved in this matter, and he must bear full responsibility.
"Let's go to Wushi Posthouse. The Lord of this palace will ask him clearly why he let go of Orange Moon Star Envoy? If he doesn't give me an explanation, even if he is a saint, he will still be blamed."
Shen Fengtian was angry and stamped his feet fiercely, causing cracks in the stone slabs on the ground.
"Master Shen, even if you go to Wushi Posthouse now, you can't do anything to him." A young voice sounded.
Shen Fengtian's face condensed, and he looked towards the alley on the left in the direction of the sound. He saw a tall and thin figure walking out of it, and gradually revealed a young and handsome face.
Seeing the young man's face clearly, Shen Fengtian raised his brows slightly and said, "Xu Hai."
This person is the descendant of the Xu Sheng family, and he is also a saint of the Holy Court, Xu Hai.
Xu Hai bowed his hands, saluted, and said, "Xu Hai has met Shen Shibo."
The Shensheng clan and the Xusheng clan are both famous and wealthy families in the Eastern Region, and they have been friends for generations and have exchanged marriages. Of course, Shen Fengtian has met Xu Hai and has a good impression of his nephew.
Shen Fengtian praised: "You can actually appear ten feet away from me silently. I'm afraid your cultivation has improved again."
Xu Hai said modestly: "Compared with my nephew's meager moral character, he is still far behind Shibo. Shibo was only thinking about the affairs of Orange Moon Star Envoy and Emperor Yi, so he didn't notice that my nephew
.”
Shen Fengtian said: "You just said that as the master of this palace, there is nothing you can do about Zhang Ruochen. What do you mean? Is there any other extraordinary person behind Zhang Ruochen?"
Xu Hai smiled and said: "Master Xuanji is ready to accept Zhang Ruochen as his disciple. Is it really appropriate for Shibo to deal with him now?"
Although the Law Enforcement Hall and Wushi Academy are relatively independent entities, Shen Fengtian does not have to look at the faces of the senior officials of Wushi Academy to act.
However, Master Xuanji is not an ordinary person. He ranks second among the ten masters and is known as the "Sword Master".
In the entire Eastern Region, there are only three people who can be called sword masters.
For a strong man like Master Xuanji, there are countless peerless strong men among his disciples. It can be said that he is of extremely high seniority and high moral standing. He has great influence not only in Wushi Bank, but also in the entire Eastern Region.
Even if you lend Shen Fengtian some courage, you won't dare to offend him.
Xu Hai said: "My ancestors told me personally, there is absolutely no lie. Shibo, the situation is stronger than others. When you have to endure it, you still have to endure it."
"Hmph! So what if Master Xuanji gives him support? As long as I find out about him, our Law Enforcement Hall will be able to investigate and deal with him," Shen Fengtian said.
"Anyone who doesn't have any dark history in their body will be found out if they check."
After saying this, Xu Hai laughed, bowed again, said goodbye, and left immediately.
Xu Hai didn't think Shen Fengtian could find anything out of Zhang Ruochen, but after all, Shen Fengtian was the head of the law enforcement hall in the Seventh City District. As long as Zhang Ruochen was still in the Seventh City District, his life would definitely not be so easy in the future.
"Zhang Ruochen, you killed my brother, I will avenge you sooner or later."
Xu Hai's eyes gradually became cold, and a killing light flashed in his pupils.
In the next seven days, Zhang Ruochen will go to the martial arts arena every day to challenge the "Tianbang" warriors from all sides. The number of battles has reached 227.
Among them, the vast majority of warriors cannot force Zhang Ruochen to use the power of his martial soul, and can only be equipped with Zhang Ruochen's sword enlightenment.
There were only four masters in total who could force Zhang Ruochen to use his martial arts. Unfortunately, they were all defeated by Zhang Ruochen within three moves.
For half a month, there was no "Tianbang" warrior who could block Zhang Ruochen's ten moves.
Therefore, in the Seventh City District, a saying spread: "The person who can block Zhang Ruochen's ten moves must be the top hero of the younger generation."
After the news spread, countless young masters took the initiative to challenge Zhang Ruochen, including students from the Holy Academy and the Royal Academy.
The people who challenged Zhang Ruochen lined up and all showed up at the Wushi Arena. Many of them did not want to defeat Zhang Ruochen, but just wanted to hold on to Zhang Ruochen's hands for a few more moves.
As a result, in the following days, Zhang Ruochen fought nearly a hundred battles every day. Of course, the vast majority of people could only accompany him to learn the sword, and could not force him to use his full strength.
During the day, Zhang Ruochen fought crazily in the martial arts arena to hone his sword skills, and at night he practiced hard in the space within the space-time crystal to improve his cultivation.
Just like that, half a month passed quickly.
Zhang Ruochen could clearly feel that his strength had improved a lot. Compared with half a month ago, it was like a transformation had taken place and he had reached a new level.
Moreover, he also replaced the Orange Moon Star Envoy and became the 643rd ranked master in the "Tian Ranking".
"Tomorrow is the time when the Holy Academy starts school. From now on, I will officially become a saint. Since my swordsmanship has improved a lot in the past half month, I will take advantage of tonight to meet Kong Lanyou again."
Zhang Ruochen doesn't care about winning the Semi-Saint Mansion from Kong Lanyou. What he cares more about is his own cultivation. Only with the sword in Kong Lanyou's hand can he verify whether his swordsmanship has improved again?
This time, it was Nie Honglou who accompanied Zhang Ruochen to the Semi-Saint Mansion.
Entering the mansion, Nie Honglou was standing outside, while Zhang Ruochen walked into the bamboo forest alone.
Kong Lanyou was still sitting in the bamboo pavilion, with his white hair hanging on the ground, holding the yellowed bamboo flute, and his beautiful eyes staring at the creek next to him.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, her eyes finally showed a hint of emotion, and without looking back, she already knew who was coming.
"Zhang Ruochen, you are finally here!" Kong Lanyou's voice was very beautiful, like a clear spring flowing on a rock. Just listening to her talk was a very enjoyable thing.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Kong Lanyou's back, stopped, stood ten feet away, and said: "In the past half month, some people have always come to challenge me, trying to test how many of my swords they can catch. Now,
I am here to challenge you, and I also want to know, with my current strength, how many swords can I catch from you?"
Kong Lanyou's red lips were very bright, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile: "If you can block my three swords, I will treat you to a good drink. Of course, it depends on whether you have that ability."
"Wow!"
Her body swayed slightly, and she flew out of the bamboo pavilion. Holding a bamboo flute, she mobilized her true energy and quickly tapped Zhang Ruochen's left temple.
Almost instantly, she crossed the distance of ten feet and appeared in front of Zhang Ruochen.
The bamboo flute seems to be sharper than the sword.
She still suppresses her cultivation to the middle stage of Tianji Realm, which is three smaller realms lower than Zhang Ruochen. Moreover, she still uses the first move of Tianxin Sword Technique, Tianxin Guides the Way.
Zhang Ruochen had already released his mental power and was observing Kong Lanyou at all times. Just when Kong Lanyou used his sword move, he had already thought of a way to crack it.
However, when the bamboo flute struck, it still disrupted Zhang Ruochen's rhythm, making Zhang Ruochen unable to use any of his strength.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was about to be knocked down by her move again, Zhang Ruochen suddenly kicked his legs and bumped into her.
"Tianxin points the way!"
Zhang Ruochen put his two fingers together, used them as swords, and struck Kong Lanyou's right wrist.
"What a progress! Unfortunately, in front of me, your moves are completely useless."
Kong Lanyou's figure flashed and disappeared from Zhang Ruochen's eyes.
An instinctive sense of crisis hit his heart, and all the hairs on Zhang Ruochen's body stood up. Without any hesitation, he immediately turned around, waved his arms, and slashed diagonally upward behind him.
His arm is like a sword.
"The second move, Tianxin Full Moon."
Kong Lanyou held the bamboo flute, chopped it down, and collided with Zhang Ruochen's arm, making a violent explosion of zhenqi.
Zhang Ruochen secretly screamed in his heart that it was dangerous. If he had been a moment later, Kong Lanyou's bamboo flute would have hit him on the head.
Because Kong Lanyou's cultivation was in the middle stage of Tianji Realm, after the two of them fought hard, Kong Lanyou flew backwards.
Kong Lanyou skillfully neutralized Zhang Ruochen's power, fell to the ground, was slightly surprised, and said: "Your ability to adapt has improved so much. Your understanding is very good."
In fact, Kong Lanyou was quite surprised. You must know that when she was Zhang Ruochen's age, her swordsmanship and adaptability were far from what Zhang Ruochen is now.
"Even if my cousin is still alive, he is probably not much better than Zhang Ruochen at this age." Kong Lanyou thought this way.
In her heart, the cousin from eight hundred years ago has always been the most outstanding young talent, and no one can surpass him.
"Take my third sword and Tianxin will make waves."
"Whoosh!"
Kong Lanyou's arms moved in the air, and under the influence of her zhenqi, all the bamboo leaves on the ground flew up and swirled in the air.
