Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 569 Chasing Stars
Yue Liuxiang was pushing the cart, not very fast, and Li Xuan was following closely on the roof.

It's hard to arouse anyone's vigilance when he's stalking someone in a busy city like this.

Following Yue Liuxiang, Li Xuan came all the way to the east of the city.

Li Xuan looked around and found that he had arrived at Anyifang.

This place is not far from the East Market and Chang'an County Government, and is located in the east of the city, making it a relatively high-end market town.

More importantly, Li Xuan had been here before, because the headquarters of the Money Gang was located here.

Yue Liuxiang was pushing a cart in Anyifang, but was not heading towards the Jinqian Gang's headquarters.

After he arrived in Anyifang, someone soon met him on the street.

"Leave the person to us, you go in directly."

Several burly men took the cart from Yue Liuxiang and pointed to the big house nearby.

There was no sign at the door of the mansion, and no one knew who it belonged to.

Upon hearing this, Yue Liuxiang didn't say much and walked into the mansion silently.

Li Xuan walked swaggeringly on the wall and followed Yue Liuxiang in.

Following Yue Liuxiang all the way to the backyard of the mansion, they met the real culprit.

"Failed?"

Here, a middle-aged man with a sinister temperament was waiting for Yue Liuxiang. As soon as he saw him, he asked a lot of questions.

Yue Liuxiang nodded and replied through the veil of his bamboo hat: "Master Zhao, the one from the Red Scarf Team is Hero Zhen Mo, you made a mistake."

Hall Master Zhao smiled slightly and did not say anything more. Instead, he continued:

"Those detectives from Chang'an County took the money but didn't do the job. You have to go and get the money back."

This straightforward order made Yue Liuxiang frown slightly, but he still replied politely: "Master Zhao, now that the truth has been revealed, I have nothing to do here."

"I won't interfere in the affairs of your Money Gang."

"Farewell!"

Yue Liuxiang held the sword, bowed, and was about to turn and leave.

As a result, the moment Yue Liuxiang turned around, a palm hit him hard on the back, causing him to spit blood, stagger, and fall directly to the ground.

"Kid, what do you think this place is? You can come and go as you please."

Hall Master Zhao said grimly, with a disdainful smile on his face, looking down at Yue Liuxiang from above.

"you!?"

Yue Liuxiang was seriously injured in a surprise attack and pointed at Master Zhao in disbelief and anger.

"If it weren't for the fact that your martial arts skills are somewhat useful, I wouldn't have allowed you to be so arrogant until today."

"Do you really think that you can be a hero just by dressing up and posing with a sword?"

"How can you rookies be so stupid?"

Master Zhao looked at Yue Liuxiang and seemed to have seen too many people like him.

"Since you are no longer of any use, you can stay here and be used as fertilizer for the flowers. That will be considered as making the best use of it."

Hall Master Zhao was also ruthless. He was talking peacefully just now, but the next moment he launched a sneak attack and injured someone. Now he even slapped Yue Liuxiang on the top of his head, intending to wipe out the root of the problem.

"Damn, you're really quick at it."

Li Xuan on the wall wanted to listen for a while longer, but now he had no choice but to take action.

This Hall Master Zhao is only at the fifth rank, which means he can only bully children.

"Humph."

A deep and deep cold snort exploded in the ears of Yue Liuxiang and Hall Master Zhao.

Yue Liuxiang, who was originally waiting to die in despair, suddenly rekindled his hope of survival after hearing this impressive voice.

Compared to Yue Liuxiang, Hall Master Zhao was much more unlucky.

Before he could react to who had spoken, he felt like he was hit by a battering ram in the chest. He was thrown powerlessly to the ground, and the Qi in his meridians was blocked, and he fainted.

Li Xuan did not take the man's life, thinking that he could be of use in the future, so he showed mercy and only used the Xuanhan force mixed with icy breath to attack him from a distance, freezing Hall Master Zhao half to death.

"Boy, why don't you leave?"

Li Xuan's voice made Yue Liuxiang shudder.

"Thank you, Master Mo, for saving my life."

Yue Liuxiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and thanked Li Xuan first.

But he couldn't see Li Xuan's figure, and could only bow to the sky from afar.

"Come out the back door and head to the Red Scarf Team's base. I have something to ask you."

Yue Liuxiang struggled to get up from the ground, and without saying anything else, left here according to Li Xuan's instructions.

He walked out of the back door of the house and found that the two guards there had been knocked down by Li Xuan and were unconscious.

Yue Liuxiang walked out of the secluded alley and onto the busy street, feeling a little more secure.

At this time, Li Xuan's voice came again.

"Only you can hear my voice. Even if you lower your voice, I can still hear it."

"Next, I ask and you answer."

Li Xuan discovered that communicating through voice transmission was much easier with his current Yin and Yang energy, and speaking was not strenuous at all.

Others transmit sound by compressing the sound through their true Qi and conveying it to a specific target.

But Li Xuan was a little different, he simply used the Yin and Yang Qi to vibrate the air, simulating various sounds, and then transmitted the sounds according to the technique of secret sound transmission.

But as his understanding of the five elements of heaven and earth deepened, Li Xuan discovered that he could directly vibrate the air near the target's ears through the Yin-Yang Qi, and then use the technique of secret sound transmission to limit it to the range he wanted.

Although this was just a simple transformation, it made Li Xuan feel countless times more relaxed than before, and he spoke very smoothly when transmitting his voice.

The sound of his voice when transmitting was particularly deep and powerful, also because of this change in technique.

However, Li Xuan was reluctant to use this method of transmitting sound on Princess Ankang and Yu'er.

After all, this is the sound produced by the vibration of true energy, not the sound of ordinary speaking. Although both have achieved the purpose of speaking, the means are completely different.

Li Xuan would never try it on the two girls until he was sure that this kind of sound transmission was harmless to humans.

At least, Li Xuan discovered after a while that the sound he was transmitting in secret was now extremely powerful, which would definitely be bad for his ears in the long run.

As for whether there are other disadvantages, he needs to observe more.

"Is the Hall Master Zhao from the Money Gang?"

Yue Liuxiang nodded silently.

"How did you get involved with them?" Li Xuan continued to ask.

Yue Liuxiang's lips moved, and he answered in a voice that only he could hear: "Master Mo, I am from Jiling Prefecture. I have been learning swordsmanship from my master since I was young, and I have just left the mountains to travel."

"As soon as I came down the mountain, I heard about your deeds and admired you very much. I followed your legend all the way to this capital."

"It's just that my travel expenses were almost gone, so I decided to earn some money for the trip, and ended up meeting someone from the Money Gang by accident."

"They listened to my difficulties, treated me to delicious food and drinks, and were very interested in my swordsmanship. Later, when they heard that I was looking for you, they said they would help me get information."

"I learned that the Money Gang was quite famous in the underworld, so I believed in them and stayed with them temporarily."

"Later, they said someone was using your name, and that's when..."

Yue Liuxiang felt a little embarrassed to continue.

"Stupid Qing!"

Li Xuan first criticized that there are not so many people in this world who are nice to you for no reason.

Why are heroes so popular? It’s because most of the people in this world are evil spirits.

This is a world of martial arts. When you have power far greater than others, who would still follow the rules to make money and restrain their desires?
Most of them are just beasts consumed by their own desires.

Yue Liuxiang's young face under his bamboo hat couldn't help but turn red, and he felt embarrassed.

Before leaving the mountain, the master repeatedly reminded him not to trust anyone easily.

As a result, he almost died in a foreign land, and ended his journey in the martial arts world early.

You know, Master Zhao helped Yue Liuxiang a lot when he was down and out, which made him trust him very much.

But now it seems that I am just a pawn being used by others.

"Besides, why do you admire me?"

"You have never seen me, and those deeds are also false. What can you do?"

"This..." Li Xuan's series of questions left Yue Liuxiang speechless.

But he knew that the hero Mo whom he admired was different from Hall Master Zhao, otherwise he would not have said these words to him.

"By the way, how old are you?"

Li Xuan suddenly realized that he didn't even know how old this kid was.

"I'm eighteen, I'm an adult!"

Yue Liuxiang replied quickly.

Daxing is an adult at the age of 18, so it's no wonder that this kid would go down the mountain to gain experience. After hearing about Yue Liuxiang's age, Li Xuan shook his head speechlessly, but he understood why this guy was so stupid and clear.

"It seems that no matter where you are, this is the age when you like to chase stars the most."

After understanding the whole story, Li Xuan escorted Yue Liuxiang out of Anyifang.

After all, this is the base camp of the Money Gang, and Li Xuan is afraid that this kid might have some accidents.

After all, Yue Liuxiang had just been seriously injured by a sneak attack from Hall Master Zhao and was in very bad condition now.

"Go to the Red Scarf Team to recuperate. When you are well, return to the mountain to find your master and continue practicing sword skills."

"The waters of this world are too deep, you can't control it!"

Li Xuan gave one final word of advice.

"Master Mo, can I thank you in person?"

Hearing that Li Xuan was about to leave, Yue Liuxiang hurriedly spoke.

But he waited at the entrance of the market for a long time and never heard Li Xuan's voice again.

Yue Liuxiang looked around regretfully and sighed. He could only bow to everyone around him and then go to find the Red Scarf Team.

……

After seeing Yue Liuxiang off, Li Xuan returned to the previous house to see the reaction of the Jinqian Gang.

When he rushed back, he found that Hall Master Zhao, who was seriously injured by him, had been discovered, and among them was a familiar figure.

"Deputy Gang Leader Yang, that guy ran away!"

Yang Wanli couldn't help but frown when he heard the report from his subordinates.

"Isn't that kid only a sixth-rank guy?"

"How did you injure the fifth-rank old Zhao?"

"Moreover, Lao Zhao's cold poison has invaded his bone marrow, and his Qi attributes don't match up."

"That boy has an accomplice?"

Yang Wanli's words made his men speechless.

Seeing that his men were all embarrassed but couldn't answer a single word, Yang Wanli angrily said, "Useless things!"

"Why don't you send someone to look for him?!"

"Yes!"

The members of the Money Gang immediately took the order and left.

"Carry Lao Zhao back and find someone to treat him."

Yang Wanli waved his hand, gave instructions on things here, then hurried out of the house and headed towards the headquarters of the Jinqian Gang.

Li Xuan followed him leisurely, recalling his previous meetings with this man.

"I remember that the deputy leader of the Money Gang had some abilities, but not much ambition."

The first high-ranking member of the Jinqian Gang that the three little ones came into contact with was this person.

At that time, Yang Wanli was quite close to the Fourth Prince.

When the gang leader Chen Tan is not in the gang, Yang Wanli is the one who cleans up for him and is deeply trusted by Chen Tan.

"Could it be Chen Tan's intention?"

Li Xuan frowned slightly.

Speaking of which, since taking over the underground industry of the Jinqian Gang, Chen Tan has only come to see them once, when Li Xuan was tinkering with the antiques of the Jinpeng Dynasty.

At that time, the blame was put on the Jinqian Gang, which made Chen Tan feel under great pressure.

Later, the blame was passed on to Princess Ankang and Emperor Yongyuan, and no one was fooling around anymore.

"It seems I have to meet him in person."

Li Xuan followed Yang Wanli back to the headquarters of the Jinqian Gang, which was still as magnificent as before.

But compared to when Li Xuan came here before, it felt a little quieter.

After Yang Wanli came back, he first gave orders for various gang chores.

This guy has good management skills and manages such a large gang in good order.

After finishing most of the instructions, Yang Wanli returned to his office to deal with some documents.

Li Xuan first opened his perception and explored the entire Jinqian Gang headquarters, but found no trace of Chen Tan.

He was not surprised by this.

In the past, Chen Tan never stayed at home and was always running around outside.

It’s just that Chen Tan had said before that the situation in the gang was a bit unstable, and in this situation he should stay in charge of the gang.

Since he couldn't find anyone, Li Xuan didn't hesitate and directly sent a message to Yang Wanli:
"Deputy Gang Leader Yang, I am Mo Tiansheng from the Red Scarf Team. I am here on the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess to invite you to have a chat."

The sudden sound that exploded in his ears made Yang Wanli pause and he froze there.

Yang Wanli himself is of average strength, and he mainly relies on his unique skills in disguise and strong management ability to gain a foothold in the gang.

He raised his head and looked around, but didn't see even a ghost.

"What a brilliant way of transmitting secret messages!?"

Yang Wanli was secretly shocked, but he remained calm and even smiled slightly.

"So it's the recently famous hero Mo. It's a shame for you to make such a trip in person."

Yang Wanli did not make a sound when issuing the warning, but replied to the empty space at his usual volume.

"It is inconvenient for the gang leader to meet guests recently. I will convey Her Royal Highness the Princess' invitation the next time I see you."

"What do you think, Master Mo?"

"If you have time, why not come in and have a cup of tea and take a rest."

Yang Wanli was polite on the surface, but the fingers of his left hand were silently placed on the desk and he started gesturing.

Li Xuan immediately used his perception and discovered that he was actually writing on the table.

"Chen Tan is in trouble, the Ministry of Justice's prison!"

Li Xuan exited the perception state and glared.

"Chen Tan was arrested and thrown into the prison?"

"When did this happen?"

Li Xuan was very surprised, but seeing that Yang Wanli was so cautious, he did not ask directly, but answered along with Yang Wanli's words:
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Deputy Gang Leader Yang."

"Mo, I'm leaving. See you again if we're lucky!"

Li Xuan finished transmitting the message, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he planned to continue watching for a while.

"Hero Mo, take care."

Yang Wanli saw the guests off with a smile on his face.

He waited quietly for a moment, then called someone.

"Please have a chat with me, dear guest."

After a while, an old man in green came here.

Yang Wanli was very respectful to the old man in green.

"Master Zhu, someone from the Red Scarf Team came to look for Chen Tan just now."

"Oh, why haven't I heard that Deputy Gang Leader Yang has any guests?" The old man in green asked with a smile, his attitude quite kind.

"Someone just sent a secret message, and his cultivation is extraordinary. This person claimed to be Mo Tiansheng from the Red Scarf Team."

"I'm afraid it's because of today's conflict that I want to see Chen Tan."

Yang Wanli answered respectfully.

"Mo Tiansheng?" The old man in green muttered, and then snorted disdainfully: "Nobody!"

"Although there were some twists and turns today, the conflict has already occurred, and that's enough."

"As for the rest, Deputy Gang Leader Yang, don't worry. The title of 'Deputy' should be removed from your title in the future."

Hearing this, Yang Wanli was immediately pleasantly surprised and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Master Zhu, for your help. It's a great favor. I will never forget it!"

"Haha, it's okay, it's just a small matter."

Old Zhu patted Yang Wanli on the shoulder, encouraged him, and then left leisurely.

Yang Wanli bowed repeatedly in the direction where Zhu Lao left, almost as if he were worshipping him as his own ancestor.

Li Xuan adjusted his state, integrated himself more into the five elements of heaven and earth, and then caught up with Zhu Lao.

The expression on Zhu Lao's face never seems to change; he is always smiling.

He walked to another yard, where someone was waiting. He took out a record and read it word by word.

"So it's the recently famous hero Mo. You actually troubled me to come here in person..."

When Li Xuan heard this, his face changed immediately. This person was repeating Yang Wanli's response to him, word for word.
