Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 65: Return of the Disciples
Tie Luohan said: "With a fleet, it will not only be convenient to transport supplies, but we can also occupy a place, train soldiers and horses, and leave a way out for our Dragon Subduing Society!"

"What's the escape route?"

"Last year, the military advisor went to visit Zheng Qiyun, the leader of the 72 overseas islands, and was given several islands for the transfer of supplies!"

“The retreat route is the overseas islands?”

"The military advisor said that the situation in the world is too chaotic. The rebels have been fighting with the imperial court for more than ten years, and they may fight for another ten years in the future. The northern Tartars may also make a comeback. No one can guess who will win or lose in the end! We, the Dragon Subduing Society, will not intervene in the disputes in the world, but we must seek to protect ourselves. With the fleet, no matter how the situation in the Central Plains changes, we can move forward and backward freely!"

Li Yan has no ambition to dominate the world, at least not now.

Therefore, any decision Li Yan made would give priority to preserving the power of the Dragon Subduing Society.

His first step is to build a fleet. After the fleet is formed, the headquarters of the Dragon Subduing Society will be moved to the coastal area. Only then will he be able to move freely and watch the turbulent situation in the world.

Li Yan is also very dedicated to his duties.

The Dragon Subduing Society was able to grow rapidly in just five years, all thanks to Huang Sixi's reputation.

Li Yan just focused on his work, conscientiously accumulating strength for Jianglong, but never gave any credit to himself. He was always waiting for Huang Sixi's return.

As the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head and a bird cannot fly without wings.

Li Yan knew that the Jianglong Society lacked a strong leader. This leader must be in place to lead everyone to carve out a smooth path in the troubled times.

Li Yan believed that the leader was Huang Sixi, and hoped that Huang Sixi would raise his arms and shout.

But in this world, most of the time things are not as we wish.

Huang Sixi did not continue to ask about the situation of the fleet, he quickly turned back to Jiao Gongli.

"Has Jiao Gongli's issue been resolved?"

"A few days ago, the military advisor sent someone to deliver a letter. The letter said that the military advisor led the brothers of the Dragon Subduing Society directly to northern Zhejiang to visit the headquarters of the Xiandu Sect!"

Tie Luohan did not accompany them. In fact, he had hardly ever left Mount Taibai for five years, mainly because he was waiting for news from Huang Sixi, which he did not want to miss.

He took out a letter and handed it to Huang Sixi: "Sir, read it yourself!"

There wasn't much in the letter, but it explained the whole thing clearly.

Currently, there are only two disciples left in the Xiandu Sect's headquarters, Min Zihua and Dong Xuan. They were all captured by Li Yan and imprisoned.

In the original novel, Min Zihua sent out invitations to heroes and invited a large number of martial arts figures.

Among them was Master Shili, the abbot of Qingliang Temple in Mount Wutai.

However, due to Huang Sixi's butterfly effect, Master Shili learned that Tie Luohan was serving as the chief protector of the Dragon Subduing Society, and he invited Tie Luohan to return to Mount Wutai many times to treat him as a fellow disciple.

Min Zihua sent the invitation to Master Shili, who immediately forwarded it to Tie Luohan, so that the Dragon Subduing Society would be informed of Min Zihua's revenge at the first opportunity.

Min Zihua also invited Zheng Qiyun, the chief leader of the 72 islands along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian, but Zheng Qiyun is now a guest of honor of the Dragon Subduing Society. Min Zihua sent a message to him, and after Zheng Qiyun refused, he also sent a warning to the Dragon Subduing Society.

In the original novel, Min Zihua also invited the three brothers Shi Bingguang, Shi Bingwen and Li Gang from the Taibai School, but they had already been killed by Huang Sixi.

Mei Jianhe and Sun Zhongjun of the Huashan Sect were also among those invited, and they were also killed five years ago.

Min Zihua now looked through all the people in Xiandu Sect, but could only invite one helper, Wanlixing, the Wind Chaser of Dian Cang Sect. However, when Wanlixing was a guest in Xiandu Sect, he was captured by Li Yan.

Li Yan said in the letter that the Xiandu sect disciple killed by Jiao Gongli was originally an unjust villain. The head of the Xiandu sect, Taoist Huang Mu, knew the whole story, and some older Xiandu disciples also understood the cause and effect.

Li Yan spread the news in the martial arts world, saying that Min Zihua wanted to seek revenge on Jiao Gongli, forcing the other disciples of Taoist Huang Mu to return to the mountain gate.

This method is quite effective.

Currently, seven or eight out of the more than thirty disciples of Taoist Huangmu have returned.

Huang Sixi saw this and thought, "What Li Yan did is equivalent to solving the killing mission of the Killing Saber for me in advance. I no longer need to bother arranging personnel to search for Huang Mu Taoist's disciples all over the world. Now I just need to wait for Huang Mu Taoist to meet his disciples!"

His mood suddenly became very good. Once Taoist Huangmu gave his disciples the order to close the mountain, the path to breaking through the wall that he had been waiting for would be opened.

However, everyone in the Jianglong Society is eagerly awaiting his return. Even if he wants to leave, their funeral affairs must be arranged.

"Did Guinan rush to the Xiandu Sect?"

Tie Luohan nodded: "That's right! He went to send a letter to the military advisor and Miss Hong, so that the military advisor could lead the brothers in the guild to pick up my husband!"

Huang Sixi said: "Boss Liang's warships are enough to deter the villains. There is no need to worry. In fact, there is no need to let Li Yan run back and forth."

Liang Yinlong rarely spoke. When Huang Sixi mentioned him, he clasped his fists and said, "When I returned to the ship from Taibai Mountain, I heard from some people in the martial arts world that the chief had come all the way from Sichuan and conquered twelve water strongholds. Even if you travel alone on the river, you will definitely have no problem!"

"Those aren't water strongholds. They're mostly riverside bandits. They're not a big deal!"

Huang Sixi did fight more than a dozen battles with the bandits, but there were only three or four large camps like Feihu Camp, and the rest were all small in scale.

Tie Luohan suddenly mentioned another thing: "Sir, have you become the head of the Iron Sword Sect?"

Huang Sixi had asked Taoist Mu Sang to escort the beehives in advance, so he must have met Tie Luohan: "Have you met Taoist Mu Sang?"

Tie Luohan smiled and said, "Master Mu Sang is obsessed with chess. He learned that there were chess friends on Mount Zhongnan, so he often went to visit them and didn't come back for several days. This time, Gang Leader Liang and I went down the mountain to pick up my husband. I sent him the message, but he said he had to take care of my husband's bee colony, so he didn't go far. In fact, he went to play chess again."

Huang Sixi couldn't help but smile. This was in line with Taoist Mu Sang's style.

"Let's take a short break and then continue on our journey to meet up with Military Advisor Li Yan as soon as possible!"

"I will make arrangements right away and clear the way for the chief leader!"

The three then left the cabin and returned to the deck.

Taoist Huang Mu stepped forward and asked whether they should abandon the boat and go ashore. Huang Sixi said no and continued sailing on the river.

Huang Sixi had already learned about the situation of the disciples of Xiandu Sect, so naturally there was no need to rush.

Next, he sailed on the river and began to travel around the mountains and rivers. Every time he passed a town on the shore, he would drop anchor and go ashore to buy supplies.

That day he arrived outside Wuchang, an important town in Hubei, and went ashore for supplies as usual. However, when he returned, Miss Zhuang was missing.

When Taoist Huang Mu heard him asking about Miss Zhuang's whereabouts, he recounted what happened that day: "Miss Zhuang wants to join the Dragon Subduing Society, but she has a personal matter to deal with, so she decided to leave for a few days. She told us to continue sailing and not to wait for her. After she finishes her business, she will catch up with us along the river!"

Huang Sixi asked, "Which direction did she go and how long did she walk?"
