Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Zhu Houzhao found the shipbuilding blueprints from when the Yongle Emperor went to Southeast Asia and gave them to Liu Tong for improvement.

The palace workers building the ship couldn't fully understand the blueprints, so Liu Dong had to guide them.

Since the shipyard was located in Fuzhou, Liu Dong bought a small courtyard in Fuzhou to live in temporarily.

Every day, Liu Dong would go to the shipyard and then slowly return to the city.

The shipyard is located in a remote area, quite a distance from Fuzhou city.

There were no village chiefs or residents along the way, and it was quite far from the official road.

Liu Tong had to turn onto the official road first before entering the city.

There was a small courtyard at the intersection of that road and the official road.

A tavern was set up in front of the small courtyard, and people lived in the back.

The tavern owner was an elderly man with excellent cooking skills, even better than the head chefs at the restaurants.

Shipyard workers occasionally come here for a meal and drinks.

That day, the old man returned to the shipyard and asked the manager, saying that someone wanted to rent his tavern.

It turned out that the old man was also a government official, on the front line of the shipyard's defense, and the tavern was used for lookout and intelligence gathering.

Manager: "Who is it that wants to rent the tavern? Have you found out the details?"

The old man said, "Although they did not reveal their identities, I judged from the way they addressed each other that they should be Lao Denuo and Yue Lingshan from the Huashan Sect."

The old man was a veteran of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and knew a great deal of intelligence.

They also know information from the martial arts world.

The imperial court has always been monitoring the martial arts world.

Steward: "What are the people from the Huashan Sect doing in Fuzhou?"

The old man said, "They're most likely here because of the Fuwei Escort Agency."

Manager: "Fuwei Escort Agency?"

The old man said, "Lin Yuantu, the founder of Fuwei Escort Agency, became famous throughout the martial arts world for his Evil-Repelling Sword Technique. People in the martial arts world coveted the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual."

The manager thought for a moment and said, "Let them rent it if they want. I want to see if the Huashan Sect really has designs on the Fuwei Escort Agency. Keep a close eye on them, and also inform the Sun Moon Sect."

The Sun Moon Sect has a cooperative relationship with the imperial court, while the Five Mountains Sword Sect is an enemy of the Sun Moon Sect.

They discovered the Five Mountains Sword Sect's actions and naturally informed the Sun Moon Sect.

Liu Dong liked the old man's cooking and often went to the tavern to eat the dishes he made.

Recently, the shipwrights have thoroughly understood the blueprints and no longer need Liu Dong to go to the shipyard every day to provide guidance.

He has been staying in Fuzhou for the past few days.

There were other delicious foods in the city, so Liu Dou didn't go to that tavern for several days.

When he wanted to go to a tavern for a change of pace, he found that there was no one there anymore.

Liu Tong tilted her head. Where is he?
The steward hurriedly called the old man over and prepared a few side dishes for Liu Dong.

While eating, Liu Zhongbian heard from the steward about the Huashan Sect sending people to Fuzhou, and also about the Qingcheng Sect's plan to target the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Liu Tong asked in surprise: "Is it already time for the plot to begin?"

After finishing his meal, Liu Dong returned to Fuzhou City and headed to the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Fuwei Escort Agency was a large and well-known company in Fuzhou.

He easily found out the address by asking around, but unfortunately, it was too late when he arrived at Fuwei Escort Agency.

The Fuwei Escort Agency has been wiped out, and the authorities are collecting the bodies.

However, the bodies of the Lin family of three were not among these corpses.

The officials and the people were furious and condemned the murderer.

The Qingcheng Sect members mingled in the crowd, hearing the insults but daring not to utter a sound.

They only dared to kill the people from the Fuwei Escort Agency at night, not in broad daylight.

The truth is, the government now has the means to deal with martial arts practitioners. Although government officials are no match for martial arts practitioners, the government can issue missions to the Sun Moon Sect, which will then handle those martial arts practitioners who have violated government taboos.

Apart from the Five Mountains Sword Sect, who else in the martial arts world dares to provoke the Sun Moon Sect?

It must be said that with the assistance of the Sun Moon Sect, the government has gained some control over the martial arts world.

Liu Tong turned and left; he had already found out the address of the Lin family's old residence.

Liu Dong entered the old house, found the kasaya containing the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, and immediately regretted wearing it.

It's best not to practice this kind of exercise; it's too harmful.

Lin Pingzhi was such a good kid, but he was so cruel that his mind became twisted, and he even killed his wife.

If Yue Buqun hadn't practiced the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual, would he still have been that hypocrite who was supposed to be "upright and selfless"?

If one pretends to be a gentleman for one's entire life, who would say that he is not a true gentleman?

Liu Dong left the city and, following the clues he found along the way, located a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old.

A young man was being chased by a group of Qingcheng Sect disciples. A young girl and an old man were hiding nearby, watching and probably looking for an opportunity to save him.

Liu Tong didn't give them a chance to intervene; he rescued the boy and took him away.

Liu Dong's martial arts skills were extremely high. The Qingcheng disciples, including Yue Lingshan and Lao Denuo who were watching from the side, did not see clearly who appeared before Lin Pingzhi was rescued.

Lin Pingzhi was greatly shocked when he looked at the young man who was no more than two years older than himself.

She's so young yet she has such great strength, what about him?
Lin Pingzhi knelt before Liu Tong, hoping to become Liu Tong's apprentice and learn skills from him.

He realized the importance of martial arts; in this world, might makes right.

Liu Tong did not accept Lin Pingzhi as his apprentice.

He had a feeling that he couldn't easily give up the title of apprentice.

However, he promised Lin Pingzhi that he would teach him skills.

Lin Pingzhi begged Liu Tong to save his parents.

Liu Dong: "Someone will go to rescue your parents."

Lin Pingzhi: "?? Is he your companion, sir?"

Without formally becoming his apprentice, Lin Pingzhi could not address Liu Dong as "Master," but could only respectfully call him "Sir."

Liu Tong: "No, they're from the imperial court. The Qingcheng Sect killed so many people, how could the government not care?"

Lin Pingzhi: "The government has no jurisdiction over the Qingcheng Sect."

Liu Tong: "Therefore, the government has already notified the Sun Moon Cult."

Lin Pingzhi: "..."

The Sun Moon Cult arrived quickly. Following the clues, they located the Qingcheng Sect and rescued Lin Zhennan and his wife from their clutches.

The two elders from the Sun Moon Sect were of similar martial arts skill to Yu Canghai.

Two against one, Yu Canghai was no match.

The disciples he brought were no match for the Sun Moon Cult.

In the end, all the members of the Qingcheng Sect were arrested.

They were stripped of their martial arts skills and then tried by the government.

Yu Canghai, the mastermind behind the crime, and his four top disciples were sentenced to beheading for killing many people.

The remaining disciples were exiled to the border.

Although those disciples had lost their internal energy, their martial arts skills were quite good, making them perfect for fighting enemies at the border.

When news of Yu Canghai's beheading spread throughout the martial arts world, the entire martial arts community was shaken.

The government can already execute people from the martial arts world. Does this mean the entire martial arts world will be under the government's control in the future?

The Five Mountains Sword Sect immediately summoned people from all walks of life to discuss how to deal with the situation.

They had no interest in dealing with the so-called "traitor" Liu Zhengfeng anymore. (End of Chapter)
