Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 241 Return
According to Zhu Wusi, it was recorded in the books in Wenyuan Pavilion that after the turbulence in the earth's atmosphere caused the division of Shenzhou, Zhuque sacrificed himself to maintain the connection between the land of Southern Wulin and the Central Plains. After his death, his essence, energy, and spirit were separated and scattered in Southern Wulin.

There is also a record in a certain Jianghu novel that the Tianxia Fengyun Monument is a "strange object" that appeared after the turmoil in China, and its origin remains a mystery.

If the two are related, that would definitely make sense.

But as to whether it is the 'God' of Suzaku, there is still a question mark.

In Lu Ping's opinion, the most powerful counter-evidence is the Qi Tian Shou Jia in the Golden Light World, but the world is different now, and it is difficult to guarantee that the cause of the Fengyun Monument is still the rebel.

Lu Ping saw off Yin Zhong and Yin Feng, father and daughter. The two came quietly and left quietly without disturbing anyone.

Now, the matter of the Vermillion Bird's Essence has been arranged properly and there will be no more mistakes in the short term, so Lu Ping bid farewell to everyone in Shuiyue Cave and planned to return.

Although everyone invited Lu Ping to stay in Shuiyue Cave for a few days, Lu Ping politely declined and finally had to give up.

With Lu Ping's walking speed, it only took him half a day to return to Baiwu Town.

It was the afternoon, the setting sun was shining, and the golden glow covered the entire town, adding a bit of enchanting splendor to this time of late summer and early autumn.

Lu Ping went straight to the Hyakubukai base, but did not see the person in charge. The person who stayed in the base to be in charge of reception was Kanda Kyoichi.

"Have Shi Xianren, Qiao Rulai and the others not returned yet?"

Four days have passed since the day I set out. Even if they are slow, they should be able to send back one or two messages.

"Qiao Rulai and Xueshan Yinyan came back the day before yesterday. Since then, they have been busy with the affairs of the Hundred Martial Association and have gone out to do other things. Shi Yanwen and my master have not returned yet."

After all, there are no clues, so it's normal that it will take a little longer.

"So, the Suzaku Qi in the royal mausoleum should have stabilized. The condition of my Suzaku Essence has also returned to normal. The only thing left is the Suzaku God."

"By the way, did Senior Yan Tuolong come back with Qiao Rulai and the others? Is he in the Hundred Martial Arts Association now?"

Kanda Kyoichi replied, "He came back with us, but he left later. He said he was going back to the Demonic Family to look through the books to see if there was any record of the 'Lord of the Vermillion Bird'."

"Is this so..."

Lu Ping pondered for a moment, feeling familiar, and stood up to say goodbye.

"If any of them come back, please tell them that my mission has been completed."

"I understand."

After leaving the Baiwu Association, Lu Ping walked towards his home.

I don’t know if those guys have been working hard during these days when I was away?

However, the result disappointed Lu Ping, as Murong Jiu was the only one left at home.

"None of their group came back?"

“Three orders take that long?”

Murong Jiu rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Have you forgotten what commissions they accept? Either escorting a caravan or clearing out bandits, which one doesn't take time?"

"Besides, the commission location is far away, and they don't have your level of martial arts skills. How can they handle it all in just four days? It's good enough if they can complete one order!"

Is that right?

It seems to make sense.

Murong Jiu hadn't finished speaking yet: "Also, what's going on here?"

"Why would someone from Feique Villa come here with a commission completion letter and payment?"

"Did you pass the matter on to them?"

Murong Jiu’s idea is very simple: everyone else is working hard for Jianghu Wanshiwu, but as the leader, you push the work to others. How can this be acceptable?
But Lu Ping disagreed.

It's just outsourcing the task, there's nothing to make a fuss about.

“Hey, hey, hey, stop looking at me like that, okay? I’ve been saving Southern Wulin these days! This and that… this and that…”

Only after Lu Ping told Murong Jiu about the Vermillion Bird's Essence did he stop looking at the unscrupulous boss.

"So that's how it is. What are your plans next?"

"Are you going to investigate the Fengyun Monument?"

Lu Ping shook his head in annoyance: "The Wind and Cloud Monument has already retracted, and I don't know how to use magic, so I can't investigate it."

The only magic he knew now was the 'Five Elements Life Borrowing Technique', which was used to save his life; although Yin Zhong also knew magic, it was mostly used in combat; the same was true for the people of the Tong family, but with the addition of a healing technique.

For things like investigating the Wind and Cloud Monument, reconnaissance techniques had to be used.

The only people who can accomplish this in the Southern Martial Arts World are Yan Tuolong, who was born in a demonic family, and people from the spiritual world, and at most a Yin-Yang master from the Taoist realm.

After realizing that this was not his area of ​​expertise, Lu Ping gave up the idea of ​​continuing the investigation. He sat down and looked at the task panel in the office again.

"Have you taken on any other tasks these days? I'll pick out a few and continue working tomorrow."

Now, Lu Ping would feel uncomfortable if he didn't advance the construction of the beautiful Jianghu.

Unexpectedly, Murong Jiu raised his hand to stop him, his face showing resentment, and he said sullenly: "Stop it! I've been staying at home alone these days, and I'm almost bored to death. Don't even think about leaving me alone at home again!"

"But don't you usually like to be alone?"

"Besides, if you feel bored, why not go chat with Aunt Bai who lives next door?"

Anyway, she is a mother, and her only son is still with me. She should not mind me calling her like that, right?
Even so, Lu Ping still looked out the window guiltily.

The wall around here is quite thick, and there is a yard between us, so the other party should not be able to hear it. The "Mrs. Bai" mentioned by Lu Ping is actually Bai Feifei, but she doesn't seem to like this name.

"So, you want to go with me? Then who will stay here to look after the house?"

Murong Jiu replied as a matter of course: "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I will go out by myself, and you stay here to look after the house."

My goodness, these days there are employees who rush for work and let their boss take a day off to relax? !
It was a good decision to establish this organization!!
Without having time to think about it, Lu Ping immediately jumped up and shouted, "It's a deal!"

As he spoke, he casually took down a few commissions from the task board behind him: "What tasks do you want to do? Far or near? Easy or difficult? Tell me about it, maybe I can give you some suggestions..."

"Who said I was going to work?"

"what?!"

Seeing Lu Ping's confused look, Murong Jiu just smiled and said, "You didn't forget, did you? I'm not just a member of Jianghu Wanshiwu, I also have Murong Villa at home!"

Lu Ping suddenly realized: "That's right! You are different from us poor guys, you are a rich second generation..."

At the beginning, it was because of the turmoil in the Bingjia Wujing that Murong Jiu and Zhang Jing temporarily left Murong Villa in order to avoid trouble in the martial arts world.

Now, more than a month has passed and the storm has long since subsided, but she has never gone back to visit.

"So, you want to go back and take care of your family business?"

Murong Jiu shook his head: "To be honest, there is nothing to take care of."

"It's just that in a few days, it will be the Murong family's annual clan sacrifice. As the current owner of Murong Villa, I naturally have to participate."

Strange, what is this unfolding?

Was this mentioned in Jin Guangli?

Under Lu Ping's puzzled gaze, Murong Jiu began to talk freely.

"My father is the sixth generation descendant of the Murong family, that is, the eighth son of the former 'Thirteen Murong Swordsmen'. Although he later left the main family to set up his own family, he still had to attend this clan festival."

"After all, if you really count them, the people being worshipped are all my grandfathers and great-grandfathers..."

"My eight older sisters are all married, so they don't have to go, so this task naturally falls on me."

"Besides, there is one more thing."

Having said that, Murong Jiu suddenly shut up, as if hesitating about something.

Lu Ping immediately said: "If it is related to the privacy of the Murong family and you feel embarrassed, then you don't have to speak up."

Although it was very uncomfortable to hear only half of what was said, I was not particularly interested in the messy affairs of their big families, so I decided not to listen.

Murong Jiu shook his head and continued, "It's not a private matter. Do you still remember the rumor a few months ago that a descendant of the Murong family ran away from home and his whereabouts were unknown?"

Lu Ping was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a long time to react: "He hasn't come back yet?"

"The thirteenth uncle of the main family used all his resources but still couldn't find my cousin. During the previous rebellion of the Western Sword Stream, no one from the Murong family showed up because the entire family was busy with the eldest young master."

"I guess that during this clan ceremony, they also want to ask us branches to help find someone."

The thirteenth uncle is naturally Murong Ning; the cousin is Murong Shengxue.

For any big family, a legitimate descendant has been wandering around and has lost contact with his family for more than four months. This is a very serious matter.

Not to mention, Murong Shengxue is Murong Yanyu's only son.

"No clues at all?"

The Murong family's ability to handle affairs is worrying...

"It's not completely impossible. Some people say that he was seen near the Evil Valley. Some people say that he was walking with unidentified Japanese people. Some people say that he lost his memory and became a medicinal herb merchant."

“But none of these claims have definite evidence.”

Lu Ping didn't react when he heard the first two rumors, but when he heard the last one, he immediately frowned.

Medicinal materials business?

Could it be that he is still mixed up with the people from 'Yanwang Guitu'?

Yanwang Guitu is an evil organization that sells addictive medicinal materials to save money for the research of the Water of Death. In the Golden Light World, when Murong Shengxue first appeared, he appeared as the 'Xiaoxiangke' of Yanwang Guitu.

"What do you think?"

If possible, Lu Ping still doesn't want Murong Jiu to be involved in these things.

"I met that cousin once when I was little. Although I only met him once, I could tell that he was an arrogant and conceited person. Even if he suffered a setback temporarily, he would definitely get over it in the end."

"So when there were rumors in the martial arts world that he was beaten to insanity in a fight, I was skeptical."

"In my opinion, it is more likely that he created this illusion in order to break away from the Murong family and start a big career on his own!"

Setting up one's own business is a commonplace thing in the Murong family.

With Murong Shengxue's rebellious character, it is not surprising that she would imitate the behavior of her uncles and do such a thing.

"Heavenly Sword Murong, Misty Rain and Setting Sun?"

Lu Ping murmured in a low voice and commented: "For a swordsman, that is indeed a mountain that is difficult to shake."

I don’t know what chances he has of winning if he fights with me with all his strength.
