Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 211 0210: Lifespan Increase

The headquarters of the Tianduan Gang.

"Quick, find a doctor to treat the injured!!"

"Zhao Laoqi, let the people out and calm the rest of the gang. Anyone who dares to cause trouble at this time will be killed immediately!"

"Check the casualties, record them and wait for the gang leader to handle them!"

"..."

When Zhou Zhendong and others sent Li Lu back, the gang was busy. Li Xian and others were cleaning up the base and arranging people to handle things.

When they saw Li Lu being carried back unconscious, they were also shocked. Fortunately, Zhou Zhendong informed them of the situation and he stabilized.

After handing Li Lu over to them, Zhou Zhendong left with He Shuijun, who was knocked unconscious and covered his head.

After locking the man up in a private dungeon, Zhou Zhendong went back to find Cheng Zongyang to report the situation.

It was already past noon.

Zhou Zhendong came to the door alone and saw Xu Dong guarding it alone. He couldn't help asking:

"Is the young master in seclusion in there?"

Xu Dong cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Manager Zhou. The master told me to call him if there is any emergency."

Zhou Zhendong nodded slightly: "Then go in and tell them that there is something urgent to report."

"Yes." Xu Dong pushed the door open and walked in.

Soon, Cheng Zongyang was seen sitting cross-legged on the bed in the room with his eyes closed and motionless.

"Sir, Manager Zhou is looking for you." Xu Dong called out quietly.

At the same time, in the independent space on the third floor of the market hut, in the manor, Cheng Zongyang was swimming.

He didn't know how long he had felt so comfortable.

At this moment, Xu Dong's voice appeared in his mind, reminding him:
[Sir, Manager Zhou is looking for you.]

The calls from the outside world were synchronized with the wilderness world. Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang's face paused. He immediately went ashore, and the heat and mist in his body quickly dried up as his blood and qi circulated.

Then he disappeared into the swimming pool.

outside world.

Cheng Zongyang slowly opened his eyes and immediately saw Xu Dong waiting there.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Zongyang asked again.

"Manager Zhou is looking for you," Xu Dong responded again.

Cheng Zongyang got out of bed and walked out. When he reached the door, he saw Zhou Zhendong in the pavilion in the courtyard.

"You go out first." Cheng Zongyang said to Xu Dong and walked towards the pavilion.

"Yes, sir." Xu Dong immediately bowed and stepped back.

"Cousin, what happened?" Cheng Zongyang sat down in the pavilion and asked.

Zhou Zhendong quickly said: "He Shuijun took the initiative to attack the Tianduan Gang, and the casualties in the gang were not low."

Before Zhou Zhendong could finish, Cheng Zongyang's face froze. But seeing this, Zhou Zhendong hurriedly said, "But the situation is over..."

Zhou Zhendong immediately recounted the incident and concluded:
"Xiao Bing, the head of Zhenwu Hall, is dead, and both arms of Gang Leader Li are broken. Li Xian has quickly stabilized the people and things in the gang. He Shuijun is now imprisoned in the dungeon. But there is something I am a little worried about."

"What?" After hearing this, Cheng Zongyang relaxed, his face full of relief and surprise.

He was very happy that the problem was solved by using magnets without him having to do anything.

Zhou Zhendong said with a worried look in his eyes, "When we disabled He Shuijun and captured him alive, there were two people watching the whole time in the Liyuan you mentioned. I wonder if it was Li Mingxin you mentioned. They were worried about what he would do."

After all, Li Mingxin is a member of the Li family. If Li Mingxin gets unhappy with He Shuijun's matter and attacks them, that would be troublesome.

The royal family is not an ordinary family, people cannot be killed at will! And he is a deacon guarding a place. Killing a manager means provoking the royal family.

Although he likes war, it doesn't mean he doesn't know the importance of things.

After hearing this, Cheng Zongyang was not worried at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Don't worry. Li Mingxin won't care. This is the rule, and it is also the rule he set. But you did a good job, no, it was excellent."

Cheng Zongyang praised, "You have done what I told you to do. With your cooperation, no one in Yufeng County can be your opponent at the moment. You will have experience in this area in the future. As for Li Lu, I will go over to take a look later."

"Okay. Then I'll go do something else first."

Zhou Zhendong did not get complacent because of Cheng Zongyang's praise. He knew very well that it was not his own strength that defeated He Shuijun, so it was not worth showing off. But it was enough to ensure that Cheng Zongyang's strength was hidden.

"Okay." Cheng Zongyang nodded.

After Zhou Zhendong left, Cheng Zongyang thought for a moment and called out to Xu Dong outside: "Xu Dong, prepare the car."

"Yes, sir!" Xu Dong's voice came from the front yard.

Cheng Zongyang returned to his room and entered the wilderness world to check his lifespan.

According to Zhou Zhendong, the Tianduan Gang suffered many casualties, but it is not known how many people died after signing the contract.

He added a clause to the contract, stating that even if one died accidentally without violating the contract, his soul would return to the wilderness.

Therefore, even if they die without violating the contract, their souls will be taken away by the wilderness world, and his life span will be returned with interest.

-

Name: Cheng Zongyang
Age: 16 (years old)

Life span: 16/101 (-318 days; +36 days)
Realm: Sixth level (open meridians)

……

-

Seeing the change in his life span, Cheng Zongyang's eyes flickered, and he was quite surprised:

"When did the upper limit of life span increase by one year?"

He remembered the breakthrough after taking the Nine Yang Pill last time, and his life span did not change. It was just that he had not paid attention to it during this period of time, and his life span actually increased by one year.

But then I thought, it should be the feedback of the technique after the meridians were tempered. Then I looked at the increase and decrease prompts at the back, and I had a clue in my mind.

"In 36 days, if we calculate the return of the principal and interest, six people died."

Thinking of this, Cheng Zongyang had an idea in his mind, so he went to the pharmacy to get some things and then returned to the outside world.

Xu Dong's carriage was ready. He arrived at the backyard and got on the carriage to go to the gang's base.

Half a quarter of an hour later, at the Tianduan Gang’s headquarters.

The gang members greeted him one after another. Cheng Zongyang only called Zhao Laoqi, Li Xian and Chen Eryun to go into Li Lu's room to check the situation. The other captains stayed outside and waited.

But because of He Shuijun, several captain-level people died.

in the room.

Li Lu was injured and had not yet woken up. His arms had been bandaged by the doctor. Xiao Bing died in the battle, and now only the three of them can make the decision.

This time, Cheng Zongyang had no intention of sending Li Lu to the market hut for treatment. After all, it was not a life-and-death situation like before.

His arms were broken, so he brought a plaster from Zhang Jinquan, which was specially designed for warriors with broken hands and feet.

He first gave the medicine he brought to Li Xian and said:

"This is bone-healing ointment, which works wonders for fractures. Apply it evenly on his arms, bandage it, and change it after five days. Use it up in three times." "Okay, thank you, sir." Li Xian bowed gratefully.

He knew very well that the medicine Cheng Zongyang gave was not ordinary. Last time, his uncle was injured more seriously, but he recovered in just a few days.

Cheng Zongyang then asked, "How many warriors who signed the contract died this time?"

Li Xian said immediately: "Including Hall Master Xiao, there are six. These are all stationed in the gang, and the rest are basically out on business, and they escaped the disaster."

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly, this matched.

"Okay, you should pay more attention to the aftermath. Give this medicine to your uncle first, and we'll go to the hall to talk about it later, so as not to disturb Boss Li's rest."

Everyone nodded.

After leaving the room, Li Xian saw a group of people waiting in the yard outside. He immediately said, "Go away and do your own things."

"Yes, Hall Master." The captains responded and left.

hall.

Li Xian went to ask the doctor to change the medicine, and then came to the hall.

When everyone was gathered, Cheng Zongyang began to explain.

"Li Xian, your gang is responsible for all the affairs of the gang. The He family has been dealt with by us now. You will take over the rest of the affairs and take back all the resources of the He family. I will let Zhou Zhendong assist you."

"Yes, sir." Li Xian nodded in agreement. He had no objection to Cheng Zongyang's command.

Everyone present knew that even if gang leader Li Lu was here, he had to listen to Cheng Zongyang.

It’s just that Cheng Zongyang rarely interferes.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Zhao Laoqi and said, "Zhao Laoqi, continue to collect information about the other three companies. Although we have reached a business cooperation, we must be on guard against others. You should pay more attention."

Dishatang is responsible for intelligence issues, so it is natural for him to be responsible for that.

"Yes." Zhao Laoqi also bowed in response.

As for Chen Eryun's Fengyun Hall, it was responsible for the business affairs of the gang, so there was nothing much to say at the moment. Chen Eryun had already arranged what needed to be done, waiting for the county's economic environment to enter a normal cycle before it could be carried out.

However, the farmers' market proposed by Li Yihe, located under the city wall on the west side of the city, has now been handed over to Fengyuntang.

This place is also suitable for gangs to manage. The commercial market during the day and the ghost market at night can be completely managed.

Thinking of this, Cheng Zongyang looked at Chen Eryun: "The fastest one at the moment should be the farmer's market, right? If you have any questions, please tell me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Eryun immediately responded, "Yes, sir. Currently, the Ministry of Industry has almost completed the construction of the North and South markets through the method of work-for-relief.

Currently, there are 800 stalls. According to the owner's instructions, the size of the stalls, the dryness and wetness of the goods, the smell, the drainage channels, etc. are orderly divided. There is no problem at present. If there are not enough stalls in the future, they will be expanded. "

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly: "It's OK as long as you know the answer. If you don't understand, you can go to the chief shopkeeper. As I just said, Xu, Qiu, and Ding have already reached a cooperation agreement with us. Go ahead and do it in the west of the city, and don't worry about them causing trouble."

Chen Eryun cupped his hands: "Yes, sir."

Cheng Zongyang then said, "Master Xiao has died in battle. His family and the gang must be held responsible. But do you have a candidate for a new master?"

As the fighting hall of the gang, Zhenwu Hall must be strong enough and trustworthy to everyone.

But the gang was created from scratch, and the members were all promoted from ordinary people, which was not a long time ago. So the strength is not that strong.

It takes time for a gang to develop and improve its strength.

When Li Xian and the other two heard this, they all shook their heads after seeing each other. However, Chen Eryun said:

"Sir, I suggest that we select them through a martial arts competition in the Zhenwu Hall. This way everyone will be more convinced."

But Zhao Laoqi said: "This method is possible, but management is also a problem. It's not just about fighting."

Chen Eryun was silent.

Not many people present or in the gang can read. Forget about management.

Xiao Bing didn't know how to manage, he just followed Li Lu's orders.

Simply put - hit wherever you point!
Cheng Zongyang nodded in agreement with Zhao Laoqi's words:

"As the head of a hall, you can't just act on impulse. You can't be without your own management methods. All three of you have to be good. So the selection of people can't be careless."

If a hall master is brave and aggressive but has no strategy, he is just a common man.

Li Xian bowed and asked, "Does your Excellency have a candidate?"

Cheng Zongyang glanced at him and said calmly, "No. You guys choose first, and I'll tell you if I find it."

"Yes."

After explaining some things, Cheng Zongyang did not stay long and prepared to meet He Shuijun.

External worries have been resolved, so we can just take our time with internal matters, there's no need to rush.

However, just as he arrived at the front yard, he ran into Lu Wushuang who was stopped by a gang disciple. Lu Wushuang seemed a little anxious, but he didn't dare to act recklessly.

When the latter saw Cheng Zongyang, his eyes lit up and he quickly shouted, "Cheng Zongyang, it's me!"

"How dare you!" Zhao Laoqi, who followed behind him, shouted angrily, "How dare you call the master's name like that?!"

"That's enough." Cheng Zongyang looked at Zhao Laoqi speechlessly and said speechlessly, "You're talking like I'm not a human being."

Zhao Laoqi chuckled and said, "Since you are of a different status, you should naturally respect me."

Cheng Zongyang ignored Zhao Laoqi's flattery and walked towards Lu Wushuang. When he got close to him, he asked, "Are you looking for me?"

Lu Wushuang nodded, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her fair, delicate, beautiful, collagen-rich round face. Finally, she asked in a low voice, "How's that matter going?"

Cheng Zongyang paused, then recalled what he was talking about and nodded slightly:

"The matter has been resolved. He Shuijun is dead, but your father was also killed by He Shuijun. He Shuijun must have planned for your father a long time ago, and he put something in his body. Your father must have been feeling unwell before, right?"

These words were half true and half false, which made it easier for her to believe them.

Only He Shuijun knew that she had killed her father, but Lu Wushuang would not know about this.

Although she had been prepared in her heart, when she heard the final news, Lu Wushuang pursed her lips tightly and bit her lower lip, trying to control her emotions. But her tears still betrayed her efforts and slid down silently.

She nodded slightly, remembering that her father had indeed been feeling unwell in those days. He had also been feeling unwell the night of the accident.

But she never thought that it was actually caused by He Shuijun's long-planned plan.

"There's no need to tell you the specific means. Your father's body is still at the He family, you can go and collect it." Cheng Zongyang said, just looking at Lu Wushuang in her black tights, she looked like a female knight.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but stare at Lu Wushuang for a while. This girl is also a ninth-rank warrior...

Cheng Zongyang had an idea in his mind.

Maybe Zhenwu Hall could let her try?
This girl is very smart, and she is also an entry-level warrior at the age of fifteen or sixteen, which shows that she has a good talent for martial arts. With the help of resources in the future, it will not be difficult to improve.

But the girl was still sad and it was not appropriate to talk about this matter, so she said to Li Xian:

"When you are free later, take Miss Lu to collect the body of Patriarch Lu and bury him with honor."

Li Xian beside him bowed: "Yes, sir."

"Thank you."

Lu Wushuang controlled her emotions a little, wiped her red eyes, and showed a bit of gratitude towards Cheng Zongyang in her sad eyes.

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly, turned and walked out.
