Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

The six dragon heads clapped their hands in praise.
"Brother Li, your skills are truly superb. Your cultivation has probably reached the pinnacle of the world. You are indeed a first-rate talent!"

Meng Zhao flicked the creases in his clothes with his fingertips and smiled.

"It's a trivial skill, not worth mentioning. Kang Tongxiao is Wei Wushang's man, and can be considered a loyal follower of the Tianyuan Imperial Court."

As the saying goes, "His hero is my enemy, and his death is not a pity."

However, with this man dead, I fear the Dragon Guard spies will focus their attention on Kaiyan County. Therefore, soon I will lead my men away from the county and lie in wait elsewhere. At that time, if the White Dragon Lord wants to find me, he will have to look elsewhere!

The fact that Kang Tongxiao is the "Six Dragon Heads" does not mean that he is just a nobody. He is Wei Wushang's right-hand man, a meticulous person who is good at investigation and inquiries.

While his martial arts skills may not be considered top-notch, they are certainly among the best in the world, and he is definitely not an unknown nobody.

No matter how perfectly Meng Zhao handles things, dying here today will ultimately draw Wei Wushang's attention here.

At that time, the imperial court will surely send capable people to investigate, and Meng Zhao has no absolute certainty of escaping.

Therefore, he wanted to break up the whole thing into smaller parts, scatter Xiaohan Village in all directions, and erase all traces of himself and the mysterious organization he created.

They even eliminated all the secret agents who had been in contact with Kang Tongxiao to ensure that Wei Wushang wouldn't get too much useful information.

Moreover, in order to leave no trace and avoid being caught with any flaws or incriminating evidence, Meng Zhao had to take action personally; anyone else could potentially ruin things.

The six dragon leaders arrived full of enthusiasm but left disappointed. Although it cannot be said that they gained nothing, their results were far from what they expected.

Meanwhile, the Wen brothers were taken to a village house in Xiaohan Village to rest for the time being, and some herbs were given to treat Wen Rong's injuries.

After all the outsiders had left, leaving only the two cousins ​​in the dimly lit room, Wen Rong struggled to get up from the bed and said resentfully,
"Why should we submit to him? We'd rather die than grovel and betray our family. How will we face our relatives and friends after this?"

Wen Rong is a straightforward person; otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so rashly, only to end up seriously injured.

Wen Hua, however, was different. She held the prepared medicinal soup in her hands, gently stirring it with a spoon, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
"It's better to live a miserable life than to die. If he wants to kill us, fine. But if we can live, why do you have to go looking for death? Are you really tired of living?"

"The Wen family, humph, over the years, we have done a lot for the clan leader and killed a lot of people, but he has deliberately controlled the secret medicines that you and I need for cultivation, keeping you and me completely in his hands."

We might flatter him a bit on a normal day, saying that he's treated us well, but that's just for his benefit. Do you really think that's true?
To put it bluntly, even if we brothers had become outlaws or assassins, the gains we'd made over the years would have far exceeded any benefits the clan chief had given us.

Wen Hua's dissatisfaction with the Wen family patriarch had been brewing for a long time. He was an ambitious and unsatisfied person, and the Wen family patriarch's deliberate restraint and suppression of him had long made him harbor disloyal thoughts.

Meng Zhao's existence was merely a catalyst, even giving Wen Hua a sense of peace of mind, freeing him from the moral shackles and pangs of conscience.

"But our Wen family has indeed been thriving in recent years, with a huge family influence and many talented people. Does that guy surnamed Li really have a chance to take over the Wen family?"

Wen Hua shook his head, then nodded.

"Perhaps, I'm not sure, but judging from his performance, no one in the Wen family is his match."

With such formidable martial prowess, if he wanted to do something, the Wen family would be utterly unable to resist. Defense is always a poor strategy; it's futile to defend against everything.

Wen Hua was extremely familiar with the experts in the Wen family, not only knowing them by heart.

As far as he knew, the Wen family's top expert, or at least the one he considered the top expert, was the Wen family patriarch. In terms of martial arts skills, he was certainly far inferior to Meng Zhao.

In this respect, Meng Zhao holds the advantage in terms of high-level martial arts. Even in an era of low-level martial arts and declining magic, high-level martial arts are still a force to be reckoned with, and Meng Zhao can be said to have a complete advantage.

Furthermore, Wen Hua had also secretly investigated Li Zheng. On the surface, he seemed unremarkable, and his background was even somewhat bumpy.

However, it is precisely because it leaves no trace on the surface that its true strength is revealed, making it truly unfathomable.

Such a person is difficult to find a weakness in, and without a weakness, he is naturally difficult to deal with.

The Wen family is different. Although they seem to be powerful, have a solid foundation, and enjoy a wide reputation, they are also prone to attracting unwanted attention and have many internal conflicts, making it difficult to call them invincible.

Some people without power certainly lack the ability and the right to shake the Wen family, but it's not necessarily the case that someone like Meng Zhao would take action.

Wen Rong was displeased to see Wen Hua praising Meng Zhao so highly, but after thinking about it, he realized that Meng Zhao's martial arts skills were indeed unparalleled, and he was far from being a match for him.

In addition, Wen Hua has always been the brains of the duo, so they acquiesced to his choice.

Wen Hua warmed the herbal medicine in his hand and handed it to Wen Rong, saying,

"Actually, this might not be a bad opportunity for us. At least the Heaven-Mending Pill and the Human Residue Pill will be of great benefit to our cultivation."

Meng Zhao was a meticulous person, and he explained to them in detail the various effects and functions of the Heaven-Mending Pill and the Human Residue Pill.

In essence, this is a means of controlling them.

Realistically speaking, if they could truly gain Meng Zhao's trust and be given important responsibilities, and obtain the Human Residue Pill in the future to eliminate the hidden dangers within the Heaven-Mending Pill, it would indeed be an opportunity for them.

It should be noted that these two elixirs were developed and tested by Meng Zhao and several master alchemists.

It encapsulates much of Meng Zhao's understanding and insights into this secret medicine and martial arts.

The two members of the Wen family had already reached the lower-first-class level of cultivation. Although their skills were profound, their progress was also extremely significant.

Based on the Heaven-Mending Pill and the Human Residue Pill, Wen Hua judged that he could at least increase his strength by 30%, which was already a huge improvement.

Therefore, Meng Zhao employed him, and he was sincerely convinced of his abilities.

They didn't just threaten, they also bribed, and they won over the hearts of martial artists like them.

That is to improve our strength.

Wen Rong nodded. He was also very fascinated by these two kinds of pills. Although he didn't particularly like Meng Zhao, he acknowledged his strength.

The fact that his strength would break through under the influence of these two pills was particularly attractive to a semi-martial arts fanatic like him.

As for the Wen family, although he had feelings for them, such feelings were cheap in the eyes of a martial arts fanatic.

Having spent so much time with Wen Hua, Wen Rong was well aware that his cousin was ambitious and had always considered himself extraordinary.

He has long coveted the position of head of the Wen family.

I just hope he didn't make the wrong choice this time. (End of Chapter)
