The Dominance of Martial Arts: Starting from the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell

Chapter 428 Beginning

Guanshi Mountain.

Looking at the bluestone plaque, Qin Zhiming stretched out his fingers and drew three words in the air.

The plaque hanging on the archway then had three large characters inscribed in a flamboyant style: Wuxiang Temple.

After doing all this, Qin Zhiming turned around and looked at the warriors and maids who were waiting with their heads down on the steps.

“From now on, divide into five teams, with four teams heading to the four counties of Chaomuzhou respectively.

Choose appropriate methods to solve local crises based on the conditions of each county and promote the creed I have just described.

I will give you the rewards you deserve based on your performance.

Yuhuai, you lead the remaining team into Chaomu City and secretly look for believers who meet the creed.

In the name of the Immortal Lord Wuliangwuxiang, I will solve their troubles."

"I will obey the immortal's order!"

After the deafening roar, everyone turned into blurry shadows and scattered in all directions like arrows shot from a bow.

"You three, do what I told you to do, guard the temple, and wait for people to visit."

"Yes!"

The three strong men standing under the archway immediately bowed to Qin Zhiming.

When they looked up again, Qin Zhiming was nowhere to be seen.

.

At noon, in a quiet building overlooking the lake.

Rumeng and Ruhuan sat at the table, holding their teacups with expressionless faces. Opposite them was Fan Jiu, who was dressed as Qin Zhiming.

"There are no outsiders here. Can you please stop pretending to be a real person? It looks really disgusting."

Ruhuan looked at the green tea in the cup, her face still expressionless.

"This is the immortal order that the real person issued before he left. What if I change back to my original form and someone suddenly visits me?"

Fan Jiu stared at Ruhuan's pretty face with a smile.

“Besides, who the hell do you think you are? Shouting in front of me?

Do you really think you have a place in the real person's heart? You are just a maid who serves him."

Ruhuan slowly raised her head and looked into Fan Jiu's eyes.

"What? I didn't say it right..."

Swish!
Ruhuan suddenly poured the tea in the cup onto Fan Jiu.

sizzle.

The boiling hot tea quickly froze into a sharp ice spike during the flight.

The ice spike piercing his throat did not make Fan Jiu panic.

He stretched out his right index finger and shook it lightly.

Boom!
With a dull sound like a taut bowstring, a tiny bone spur suddenly shot out from the tip of Fan Jiu's index finger.

Click.

Fan Jiu opened his mouth, bit the ice thorn and chewed it into pieces.

Ruhuan snorted coldly and released his internal energy, trying to freeze the bone spurs.

Unexpectedly, the internal energy that was enough to extinguish the flames had no effect on the bone spurs.

Just when Ruhuan was panicking, Rumeng, who had been silent, took action.

"Sorry for making you laugh."

Ru Meng stretched out her left hand, and her index finger and middle finger were suddenly covered with ice.

Ding!
The bone spur that was about to pierce through Ruhuan's clothes was firmly clamped by her two fingers.

Then, the ice covering the fingers spread to the bone spurs.

Grabbing the frozen bone spur and throwing it on the ground, Rumeng smiled at Fan Jiu.

"Little sister, I am young and hot-tempered. I apologize for any offense I may have caused. Please forgive me."

Seeing Fan Jiu nod, she suddenly changed the subject.

“But your attack was a bit too heavy-handed.

She wanted to hurt you, and you wanted to kill her.

Aren't you afraid that the real person will come back and blame you?"

Gudong.

Fan Jiu swallowed the ice cube and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Why do you blame me? Don't you think that the real person doesn't touch you? It's because he loves you, right?
To be honest, the real person and I are old acquaintances, and I understand his temperament better than you do.

Even if you are recommended by his elders, even if you have outstanding appearance, he will not think highly of you. He only values ​​strength. Whoever has strong strength will be in his eyes.

Now, I am the strongest among those around the real person.

Then in the eyes of the real person, my status is higher than the two of you."

"Really? In other words, as long as I can prove that I am stronger than you, my status will be higher than yours?"

Ru Meng smiled and stood up with her sister. As they talked, they both felt a chill coming from their bodies.

"That's right, strength is everything."

Fan Jiu stood up, his bones creaking.

Just as the three were about to take action, a voice was heard outside the window.

"So spirited? Want to spar?"

The three of them immediately bowed their heads and saluted: "Welcome, Immortal!"

Qin Zhiming, who came in through the open window, heard the entire conversation between the three people.

But he would not pay attention to these things.

In any organization, there is a primary and a secondary distinction.

Even people in the same position will want to distinguish between the primary and the secondary.

On the surface, it seemed like a dream, and his status was the same as Fan Jiu and Zhang Yuhuai.

Secretly, each of them wants to surpass everyone else.

After all, they are all proud people.

For Qin Zhiming, competition among subordinates is not a bad thing but a good thing.

Therefore, as long as it does not affect himself, his attitude towards such things is to turn a blind eye.

"Fan Jiu, what's going on these days?"

Fan Jiu moved sideways and let Qin Zhiming slowly sit in the seat in front of him.

“Master, just as you expected, Xiao Guanyu tested me.

The day after you left, I was wandering in the alley when I was attacked by a monster.

That monster only wanted to hurt me, not kill me.

So I deliberately let it hurt my left arm.”

Qin Zhiming nodded and took the teacup handed to him by Rumeng.

"Did you see blood? Are you okay?"

"It's okay. I faked my blood. They can't see any flaws."

Fan Jiu knew that when Qin Zhiming said "it's okay", he was not concerned about him.

He was asking if his blood would have any adverse effects?

"anything else?"

At this moment, Rumeng seized the opportunity and spoke first, interrupting Fan Jiu who was about to continue speaking, causing a fierce light to flash in Fan Jiu's eyes.

“When the maid from Jingyou Tower delivered the meal, she asked us sisters where the real person came from.

We sisters handled it.

During the time when the real person was away, more and more strange things happened in Chaomu City, and civilians were frequently injured and killed.

During this period, Dong De refused all outside visitors on the grounds of being seriously ill.

The palace announced that Wang Dutou had been injured by a monster and was temporarily unable to leave the palace.

The government was leaderless, causing complaints from people outside the city.

Over at the martial arts gym, most of the martial artists who were training their marrow were still guarding the inner city.

As for the statues that the Immortal had asked us to inquire about earlier, they disappeared without a trace not long after the Immortal disappeared.”

After hearing about recent events, Qin Zhiming grinned.

"You want to use fear to control people's beliefs? This is an old trick.

Since there is trouble in the outer city, there should also be trouble in the inner city. This is fair.

Fan Jiu, I leave this matter to you."

Fan Jiu bowed his head and saluted: "Yes."

"It's like a dream. Come with me for a walk."

Later, when Xiao Guanyu learned that Qin Zhiming was out, he immediately arranged for his second brother Xiao Hong to dress up as Wang Yue again.

"Ahem! Where are you going, sir?"

Wang Yue's face was pale. He covered his mouth while coughing and walked slowly to Qin Zhiming and others.

"Captain Wang? Aren't you recuperating in the palace?"
