Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 291 Great Kung Fu!
Seven days later.

Chu Yuan and his party returned to Chang'an City.

However, when they returned to Chang'an City, the "Yang Gong Treasure House" appeared near the Yuema Bridge in Chang'an City. The news that the leader of the Qingcheng Sect and the leader of the Shu Alliance, Chu Yuan, wanted to join forces with Li Tang to seize the treasure suddenly spread throughout the world and the martial arts world.

The eyes of all forces were focused on Chang'an City.

At the same time, masters from various forces who wanted to seize "Yang Gong's Treasure House" gradually gathered in Chang'an City.

There were constant reports in the martial arts world that the two sects and six paths of the Demon Sect, the four sects of Buddhism, and various rebel kings including Wagangzhai, Xiao Xian, Zhu Can, and Wang Shichong were all interested in "Yang Gong's Treasure House".

All parties sent their masters to Chang'an.

In addition, the Nanhai School's grandmaster Chao Gongcuo, the Song clan's powerful figure Di Jian Song Zhi..., the grassland bandit Tiele, and even the Eastern and Western Turks were all interested in "Yang Gong's Treasure House" and were said to have sent their masters to Chang'an.

For a time, Chang'an, the capital of Li Tang, became a place of turmoil where masters from all sides gathered.

“Master Qingyang, I don’t know how the news of “Yang Gong’s Treasure House” was leaked. Now that the news of “Yang Gong’s Treasure House” has spread all over the world, I’m afraid all the martial arts masters in the world will gather in Chang’an. This time, we, Li Tang, need you to take charge!”

As soon as Chu Yuan came back, Li Yuan sent people to invite him and Li Shentong into the Taiji Palace. He said to Chu Yuan in the Liangyi Hall.

The Liangyi Hall is located to the north of the Taiji Hall and is also known as the Inner Court.

Since Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, only a few trusted ministers who were qualified to make decisions were allowed to enter and exit this place. Important state affairs were often discussed and decided here first, and only Li Yuan's confidants who were extremely trusted would be invited in for an audience.

Chu Yuan looked at Li Yuan, who was sitting behind the desk with a somewhat panicked expression, and could probably guess what he was thinking.

In this world, the power of martial arts is not weak, it is stronger than most martial arts worlds. It is not known whether a powerful master can defeat an entire army alone, but he can take the head of an enemy general among thousands of troops, just like he can do it himself.

This time, the news of "Yang Gong's Treasure House" was suddenly leaked and spread throughout the martial arts world. It might attract all the masters from various forces to Chang'an.

Li Tang is very powerful, but his shortcoming is that he does not have many masters. The only one who has some fame in the world, Li Shentong, is probably just at the top innate level.

All forces gathered in Chang'an City, and with Li Shentong's strength, he was afraid that he would not be able to intimidate them.

The gathering of various forces would inevitably reduce the security level of Chang'an City, and Li Yuan, the newly ascended Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was most afraid of being assassinated by an expert.

Especially the Grandmaster level...even the assassinations by the three great Grandmasters.

So soon after they returned, Li Yuan immediately sent people to the city gate to invite himself and Li Shentong into the palace, hoping to ask Chu Yuan to help Li Tang.

"The Shu Alliance and Li Tang have such a good relationship, I will naturally not stand idly by, but..."

Chu Yuan paused.

Although he had expected this, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chu Yuan agree.

"But what?"

Li Yuan asked.

"The news that we want to find the 'Yang Gong Treasure House' is still kept secret, but this matter has been spread widely. Now the whole world knows about it. Your Majesty or Li Tang may have spies sent by other forces."

Chu Yuan said.

As he spoke, he glanced at Eunuch Wei who was standing next to Li Yuan with a meaningful look.

This person is a master of the Yinkui Sect, and his real identity is Zhu Yuyan's junior fellow apprentice Wei Lianxiang. Chu Yuan has reason to suspect that this news was leaked by Wei Lianxiang.

Chu Yuan's meaningful look made Eunuch Wei's heart skip a beat.

"Master, do you mean that there are spies sent by other forces around me?"

Li Yuan frowned.

As he spoke, he glanced at Wei Lianxiang who was standing beside him, and the eunuchs at the entrance of the main hall who were serving his daily life.

Chu Yuan did not choose to reveal Wei Lianxiang's identity in the end. He shook his head and said, "Maybe!"

Chu Yuan continued, "Many people know that we want to take Yang Gong's Treasure House this time. It doesn't matter who leaked it."

Now is not the time to reveal everything. Firstly, Wei Lianxiang's identity is special. If I point it out, whether Li Yuan will believe me is another matter, but my knowledge of the Yinkui Sect will be cut off.

The Yinkui Sect is different from other forces. They have always been hiding in the dark and placing people everywhere. Keeping Wei Lianxiang by Li Yuan's side is more effective than directly revealing the other party's identity and killing her.

Seeing Chu Yuan say this, Wei Lianxiang, who was standing next to Li Yuan, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Lianxiang said: "Fortunately, this Taoist Qingyang didn't find out."

Taoist Qingyang's martial arts skills are unfathomable. Even the head of the sect, Zhu Yuyan, could not kill him personally. He did not think that he could escape after his identity was discovered by the other party.

Chu Yuan thought about it and said calmly: "Alright, now there are many people in the martial arts world who are colluding with the Turks. Take this opportunity to clean up the martial arts world."

Chu Yuan's words made Li Yuan feel secretly startled.

In fact, the Li family itself has Hu blood. After the establishment of the Li Tang Dynasty, both the Eastern and Western Turks secretly sent people to contact him, trying to win him over. He was still a little hesitant in his heart, so he did not make a decision for a long time.

The reason for hesitation was that the Turks were powerful and unstoppable with strong soldiers and horses.

All the rebel kings in the world today have some connection with the Turks to some extent; it is just a matter of how much.

If they do not accept the Turks' solicitation, they will offend the Turks and will probably face direct suppression from them in the future.

The reason why he had not made a decision yet was because he heard that Qingyang Taoist Chu Yuan hated the Turks very much.

The previous rebel king Liu Wuzhou was killed by Chu Yuan because he was supported by the Turks.

If he colluded with the Turks, it would probably alienate Qingyang Taoist Chu Yuan and the entire Shu Alliance, which would be extremely unprofitable.

Seeing Chu Yuan's disgust at those who colluded with the Turks, Li Yuan secretly made up his mind to cut off all ties with the Turks and never accept their solicitation.

If you offend the Turks, you will face suppression from them, but the most they can do is send a large army to attack.

But now that Li Tang has established its capital in Chang'an, if the Turks want to attack Chang'an, they have to break through many passes.

If Li Tang, Qingyang Taoist Chu Yuan, Shu Alliance, and all the forces related to them part ways with them because they offended Chu Yuan by accepting the enticement of the Turks, I am afraid that the entire Li Tang would be affected.

Li Shentong, who had returned from Jingzhou Pegasus Ranch with Chu Yuan, said with some worry, "The news of 'Yang Gong's Treasure House' has spread very widely this time. Rumor has it that there is a treasure in 'Yang Gong's Treasure House' that the Demon Sect must obtain. This time, I'm afraid it will attract the Demon Sect's master-level figure Zhu Yuyan. And there is more than one master-level expert. The known experts include Chao Gongcuo, the elder of the Nanhai School, Qu Ao, the grassland thief, and Song Zhi, the powerful master of the Song family..."

Although Chu Yuan was powerful, he was afraid that Chu Yuan's two fists could not defeat four hands. It can be said that none of these people were mediocre, they were all masters who were famous in the world.

Chu Yuan knew that the "Yang Gong Treasure House" mentioned by Li Shentong was a treasure that the Demon Sect must obtain, and it was most likely the "Evil Emperor's Relics", which was a treasure that the two sects and six paths of the Demon Sect all wanted to obtain.

This time when "Yang Gong's Treasure House" appeared in the world, in addition to the Queen of Yin Zhu Yuyan, it is very likely to attract all the masters of the two sects and six paths of the Demon Sect.

Chu Yuan said in a sonorous tone: "Although there are many masters in the martial arts world, I am enough, but we must get the things in the "Yang Gong Treasure House" this time."

The treasures in "Yang Gong's Treasure House" are urgently needed by Li Tang, who is now fighting for the world.

The essence of the evil emperors of all generations in the "Evil Emperor's Relics" in the "Yang Guang Treasure House" can create several masters. This item must be obtained and must not be allowed to be obtained by outsiders.

Li Yuan looked worried: "But so many masters have gathered in Chang'an City, and there are many experts among them. At that time, there will be so many experts taking advantage of the situation, which will increase the difficulty for us to seize the "Yang Gong Treasure House."

Chu Yuan said: "I will write a letter later and ask the masters of Qingcheng Sect to come to help."

This is the benefit of having a powerful force behind you and controlling a sect or force in your hands.

Unlike those lone rangers, you have to rely on yourself for everything.

Li Yuan was stunned and said, "Master Qingyang means..."

Chu Yuan said: "I will ask my senior brother Kunyang to come and help."

Li Yuan stood up from behind the table after hearing this, with a hint of joy on his face: "It would be great if a Taoist priest from Kunyang could come to help us."

The Qingcheng Sect has now become a major sect in the martial arts world, and its masters include more than just Qingyang Taoist Chu Yuan.

In the Qingcheng Sect, besides Taoist Qingyang, the most famous one is Taoist Kunyang, who lifted a thousand-jin giant tripod with one hand, was invulnerable to swords and spears, and used the thousand-jin giant tripod to severely injure the shadow assassin Yang Xuyan.

Apart from Taoist Kunyang, it is said that the Qingcheng Sect's supreme elders and other elders all have impressive martial arts skills.

Chu Yuan said: "There is no time to lose, let's get ready!"

Not only his senior brother Kunyang, Chu Yuan also planned to write a letter and send it to Yangzhou City, asking Shilong to bring Shuanglong to Chang'an City as well.

Although he could not use the "Evil Emperor's Relics", it was an opportunity for his disciples such as Shuanglong and Li Shimin.

After saying goodbye and leaving Li Yuan's palace, Chu Yuan went to a mansion arranged by Li Yuan for him in the north of Chang'an City, not far from Taiji Palace.

After settling down in this mansion, he wrote two letters and sent them to the Qingcheng Sect and the Qingcheng Sect's Yangzhou Taoist Temple.

During the period when Li Tang proclaimed himself emperor and established Chang'an as the capital, the development of the Qingcheng Sect's Yangzhou Taoist temple was also very good.

Backed by the reputation of Chu Yuan and Shu League, the Qingcheng Sect's Yangzhou Taoist temple has developed rapidly. After nearly two years of development, the number of Taoist soldiers has reached 30,000.

Different from the four major bandits, that group of rabble-rousing bandits and horse thieves.

These Taoist soldiers of the Qingcheng Sect's Yangzhou Taoist temple have all practiced some Qingcheng Sect martial arts and know how to coordinate in battle formations. They are led by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling and are elite soldiers equipped with weapons and simple armor.

It has to be said that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are worthy of being the protagonists. Not only are they extremely talented in martial arts, they also have the gift of commanding troops.

During these two years, they led the Taoist army to fight everywhere, and had already expanded the sphere of influence of the Qingcheng Sect's Yangzhou Taoist temple beyond the city of Yangzhou.

Before, after Du Fuwei was defeated and fled, Shen Faxing and Li Zitong fought several times, and neither side gained the upper hand.

In the end, Shen Faxing occupied Hailing and proclaimed himself King of Liang, and the two sides often fought.

Just half a year ago, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling led the Taoist soldiers of the Qingcheng Sect's Yangzhou Taoist Temple to attack Li Zitong, injuring him badly. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Li Zitong fled from Jiangdu, allowing Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to occupy Jiangdu.

Today, the Yangzhou Taoist Temple of the Qingcheng Sect, with Yangzhou and Jiangdu as its core, has occupied more than ten cities, and its influence is spread throughout the Jianghuai area.

It is no longer appropriate to call it the Qingcheng Sect's Yangzhou Taoist Temple. It should be called the Qingcheng Sect's Jianghuai Taoist Temple. There may be a chance that it will become the Qingcheng Sect's Jiangnan Taoist Temple in the future.

After finishing these things, it was already late at night.

outside the house.

A full moon hung high in the night sky, half covered by a few dark clouds.

"Evil King, since you came so late at night, why didn't you show up?"

Chu Yuan suddenly opened the door, walked out of his room, came to the yard, and looked in a direction in the darkness.

There was no sound in the darkness, only the occasional croaking of frogs in the yard late at night in midsummer, but Chu Yuan still looked there.

After a while, a low voice was heard in the middle of the night: "He was able to find me from such a distance, no wonder he asked you to protect Qingxuan."

As he was speaking, a middle-aged man in a black robe, with his hair flying and his clothes fluttering in the night wind, came walking on the moon, stepped lightly on the roof of the house, and landed in the yard.

Chu Yuan took a closer look and found that it was the Evil King Shi Zhixuan.

However, compared to the last time, when he met the Evil King Shi Zhixuan who looked like a middle-aged scholar at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, the Evil King Shi Zhixuan in front of him had a more evil temperament. His eyes were filled with negative emotions such as violence, murderous intent, and hatred. He was like a giant demon who would kill people at will if he disagreed with someone.

To be honest, the evil king who showed up this time was more like the evil king Shi Zhixuan in the rumors than the evil king who showed up last time.

Chu Yuan looked at the evil king Shi Zhixuan in front of him and said, "So, you are the other side of the evil king?"

"I heard from An Long that you are extremely talented. At such a young age, you have been able to fight with Zhu Yuyan without dying. You will be a big threat to our Demon Sect in the future. For the sake of the Demon Sect, I should kill you!"

The violence, murderous intent, hatred and other emotions in the eyes of the evil king Shi Zhixuan suddenly burst out without warning at this moment, as if turning into a black hole filled with evil aura, suppressing and distorting Chu Yuan's spirit, causing negative emotions such as fear to appear in Chu Yuan's heart.

If it were an ordinary innate master, his mind would probably have been shocked by Shi Zhixuan the moment the evil king Shi Zhixuan made his move, and he would lose consciousness without realizing it, and be filled with negative emotions such as fear.

When masters fight, the outcome can be decided in an instant.

When he came to his senses again, he had already become the ghost of the evil king Shi Zhixuan's subordinate.

Chu Yuan remained calm and performed the "Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Sword". Amid the roars of dragons and tigers, the sound of swords rang out in the courtyard.

The crown on the evil king Shi Zhixuan's head suddenly broke, as if it was cut off by an invisible sword. His long hair fell down and was blown by the wind in the night sky.

"Good martial arts!"

The Evil King Shi Zhixuan had a strange and unpredictable temperament. As he quickly approached Chu Yuan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
