Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 138: Exposed, Farewell to Shuanglong

Ever since the secret of immortality was lost, Yu Wenzhi searched the entire city but couldn't find the person, so he naturally began to search outside.

Although this valley is hidden, if you search it thoroughly, you will eventually find it.

Moreover, since Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling started hunting, they caused quite a commotion and were noticed, which immediately attracted the imperial army.

Yu Wenzhi was also in the army, but was attracted by the battle between Baisun Taoist and Fu Jun'er, so he hurriedly used his lightness skills to rush over.

"Discovered?"

Yu Wenzhi retreated half a step to hide his figure, but did not leave.

He also watched the second half of the previous battle and felt that he was no less powerful than the old man, so he was not afraid at all.

In comparison, he was more concerned about where the secret of immortality was now.

Because he only watched the second half, he didn't know the relationship between Taoist Baisun and Kou Xu. For the time being, he just thought that this was a master who lived in seclusion in the mountains.

However, according to intelligence, Kou and Xu appeared here some time ago, so this reclusive master may have a relationship with Kou and Xu.

Therefore, Yu Wenzhi decided not to show up for the time being and continue to observe.

Taoist Baisun also discovered Yu Wenzhi, but he also did not make it public.

"With the projection's strength, even against Fu Jun'er, he would have to resort to psychological tactics. Yu Wenzhi is even stronger than Fu Jun'er. With the power of this projection, I'm afraid he can't defeat her!"

Zhou Ming thought to himself: "These projections need to be upgraded..."

Although in fact, as long as Zhou Ming uses his other abilities, it would be relatively easy to deal with Yu Wenzhi.

But the current projection, this identity, is Taoist Baisun, an extremely old and weak grandmaster.

This is the character Zhou Ming arranged for this projection.

He won't break his own persona.

Naturally, he would not use this identity to exploit other abilities that might disrupt his character.

"If we point it out directly, I'm afraid a war will break out. If you're willing to hide, then keep hiding..."

He was at ease, but Yu Wenzhi on the other side was a little surprised.

"He discovered me, but didn't point it out. Why?"

Before I could come up with an answer, I saw two figures running towards me through the forest.

"It's them! Those two pickpockets?!"

Yu Wenzhi was surprised, but what surprised him even more was the skills displayed by this person. "It's already not inferior to a congenital warrior! But didn't these two have any martial arts training before? Could it be... the secret of immortality?"

He originally did not believe that the Secret of Immortality could bring immortality, but with these two people in front of him, he was afraid that even if the Secret of Immortality could not bring immortality, it would definitely be an extremely terrifying magical skill.

In this case, we must get it!

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

Accompanied by two concerned voices, Kou and Xu came running over.

"Dad, are you okay?"

"What happened here?"

Taoist Baisun turned and walked into the wooden house, saying, "Come in and we'll talk."

"it is good."

The two men walked into the wooden house. Taoist Baisun took down the Changsheng Jue hanging in the house and said as he folded it, "We've been discovered here. I fought off the invaders, but the remaining pursuers will probably be here soon."

"What? Pursuers?"

"What are you afraid of? We are martial arts masters now. Let's join forces to beat them back!"

Taoist Baisun said, "Martial arts masters? You two only have realms, but don't know any moves. How can you be called masters? Besides, the enemy probably has more than one Grandmaster, not to mention Xiantian. What enemy can you two defeat?"

"More than one Grandmaster?!"

The two were startled and said quickly, "What should we do? Dad, let's run!"

"We are going to run, but only the two of you are going to run." Taoist Baisun put away the Changsheng Jue and said, "I will stay and hold them back."

"What? No!"

The two men flatly rejected the idea: "Dad, if we're going, let's go together!"

“Hehe…” Taoist Baisun smiled and said, “People are born, grow old, get sick and die. It’s inevitable. At my age, even if I run away, I don’t know whether I will die tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It’s better for me to stay here.

You are still young, there are so many beautiful sights in this world, you can go and see them on my behalf."

"Dad..."

The two of them felt a lump in their throats and tears welled up in their eyes.

Taoist Baisun laughed and said, "Why are you crying? I'm not doomed. If you two can escape successfully, with my strength, they may not be able to capture me. Okay, now listen to me carefully!"

He then began to tell the story.

When the two heard this, they realized that this was a skill related to light martial arts, and they understood that this was probably the last skill that Taoist Baisun gave them to help them escape.

I didn't dare to say much at the moment and just listened carefully.

After practicing the art of longevity, the two of them could be said to have undergone a comprehensive transformation, making their already outstanding talents even better.

After listening to it only once, he almost remembered this light skill.

"This Lingbo Weibu technique is excellent for both short-range dodging and long-distance galloping. If you encounter the enemy, you can use it to escape. Go to the Yangzhou dock, seize a boat, and sail down the river, trying to get as far away from Yang Guang's rule as possible!"

"Dad!"

The two men cried out in grief, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times in a row.

The process of describing the Qinggong skill was actually also a process for them to calm down.

The current situation is indeed very dangerous.

The one who wanted to obtain the secret of immortality was Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. The other party sent Yu Wenzhi, who directly controlled the entire Yangzhou and could easily mobilize all his forces.

You know, there are several grandmasters in Yangzhou alone.

If they come looking for us, it is possible that several masters will act together.

As for those with innate talents like them, I'm afraid there are too many to count.

The two did not know the name of Taoist Baisun. Although they guessed that he was a master, they only guessed that he was at the level of a grandmaster.

Faced with such a lineup, the three of them naturally had no choice but to flee.

At the same time, they also realized that with their strength, they would be a real burden in such a battle.

It would be better to leave as soon as possible so that Taoist Baisun can be free from any worries.

Just as Taoist Baisun said, if he were alone, it might be easier for him to run.

"Dad...we're leaving..."

"Well, the world of martial arts is treacherous. You should be more careful when roaming around in it. Also..."

Taoist Baisun paused for a moment and said, "If you encounter someone who can use the Mysterious Nether Divine Palm, you must not approach them and must stay away from them.

Well, let's go quickly, it will be too late if we are any later!"

The two had no idea what the Mysterious Nether Divine Palm was, nor did they know why Taoist Baisun gave such an order.

But there was no time to ask them any questions, so he turned and left the cabin. He used the Lingbo Weibu technique, and the first few steps were unfamiliar, but after ten steps, he had become proficient, and then he quickly left.

Light steps, internal force generated naturally.

In addition to its other uses, the most powerful feature of this light skill is that it can increase internal strength and true energy during the process of practice.

If the proficiency is high enough, it may even be possible to achieve a balance between loss and growth, thus allowing for unlimited use.

Of course, in reality, even if internal strength and true energy can be infinite, human physical strength is not infinite.

Even so, this light skill has great advantages in terms of long-distance and long-term running.

Not far away, Yu Wenzhi saw this scene and couldn't help but move his eyes. He ordered: "Chase after them and capture these two!"

It turned out that during this period of time, his trusted subordinate Zhang Shihe had also caught up with him, but at Yu Wenzhi's request, he remained silent.

At this moment, seeing Kou and Xu leaving the wooden house, it was time for Zhang Shihe to take action.

"Yes." Zhang Shihe took the order and gave chase.

Yu Wenzhi moved, and in a few steps, he was already in front of the wooden house. He clasped his fists and said, "Which master is living in seclusion here? Yu Wenzhi is visiting, and I hope you will come out to meet him."

There was no response from inside the cabin.

Yu Wenzhi said again: "My friend, I already know you are here, why do you continue to hide?"

The tone has become much colder.

But there was still no response from inside the house.

He thought about it, and suddenly his expression changed. He slapped the door of the wooden house open, but saw that it was empty inside, with nothing.

"Interesting..." Yu Wenzhi was shocked, but also felt a hint of interest in his heart.

Someone could actually disappear silently right before his eyes.

However, you, the master, can run away, but I don’t know if those two little thieves can!

He immediately followed the direction Zhang Shihe had just left.

He had a higher level of cultivation and was also good at lightness skills, so he caught up with Zhang Shihe soon. He looked forward but could not see the two little thieves.

"Where are those two little thieves?"

"Chasing...lost him." Zhang Shihe lowered his head and said with some shame.

"What? Lost you? Those two little thieves never practiced martial arts before. Even if they learned something in the past month or so, how could they not even catch up with you?"

Zhang Shihe said, "I don't know either. Those two have excellent Qinggong skills and are quite fast. Moreover, they haven't slowed down at all after running for such a long time. Instead, they are running faster and faster... I just... I lost them!"

Yu Wenzhi frowned even more.

In a short period of time, two people who had no martial arts foundation at all became innate.

He can actually learn a wonderful light skill!
Could this also be the effect of the secret of longevity?
Or maybe, those two little thieves are actually peerless geniuses?
Well, no matter the former or the latter, both of them must be taken down!

Yu Wenzhi glanced at the nearby Yangzhou City, thought for a moment, and said, "Go to the government office immediately and tell them I'm ordering a city lockdown. No one is allowed to leave!"

"Yes!"

After Zhang Shihe left, Yu Wenzhi himself went straight to the dock.

Yu Wenzhi was the most outstanding person of the Yuwen clan's generation. He was far superior to ordinary people in both martial arts and wisdom.

When he saw that Kou and Xu were fleeing towards Yangzhou City, he thought of the possibility that they were trying to escape by water.

There is a poem that goes like this: I left Baidi in the morning among the colorful clouds, and returned to Jiangling a thousand miles away in one day!

When the wind and the current are favorable, the speed of traveling by water is much faster than that by land.

Although he had ordered the blockade of Yangzhou before, it must have been lifted after such a long time. In addition, after they received the intelligence, they all took people outside, which made the city empty.

Although the city had already issued a wanted notice with pictures of the two men, even Zhang Shihe could not catch up with them. Yu Wenzhi naturally did not expect the people left in the city to stop them.

So he went to the dock in person and prepared to block the waterway.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the other party is not going to escape by water, but by other means.

Therefore, Yu Wenzhi also asked Zhang Shihe to notify the Yangzhou garrison and blockade the entire city.

Kou and Xu were very familiar with Yangzhou.

After entering the city, he went straight into the small road and rushed to the dock as fast as possible.

But they understand Yangzhou, but they don’t understand themselves or the world.

In the martial arts world, when those innate masters are running in a hurry, how can they run on the ground?
It would be fine for ordinary people to run on the ground, but even if they have reached the innate realm and have superb lightness skills, they are still running on the ground?
Then wouldn’t it be a waste of time to practice this martial arts?
The two of them suddenly became innate, and they had just learned Qinggong today, so they didn't realize it at all.

Although Yu Wenzhi didn't know Yangzhou well, he knew how an expert should travel. After entering the city, he ran directly on the roof and headed towards the dock in a straight line.

Both sides have the same goal, but are taking completely different paths.

The good news is that Yu Wenzhi didn't even notice the existence of Kou and Xu, so there would be no interception along the way.

The bad news was that Yu Wenzhi avoided countless detours and arrived at the dock before the two of them.

He immediately revealed his identity, took control of the troops stationed at the dock, and blocked the entire dock.

There were naturally gangs at the dock, so he ordered the stationed soldiers to force all the gangs out and blockade them together.

Yu Wenzhi naturally did not come to Yangzhou alone. He took five large five-tooth warships, each of which had eight hundred elite soldiers on board, a total of four thousand. Although most of them were transferred to the city, there were still a hundred people left on each ship.

The ship was docked at the pier, and it was just the right time to use it, so the 500 soldiers were mobilized.

These are elite soldiers trained by his own family and are incomparable to ordinary people.

Just as the troops were being mobilized, two figures were seen rushing into the dock and charging forward.

"It's these two little thieves!"

Yu Wenzhi immediately recognized the two of them, and anger and heat appeared in his eyes at the same time.

If these two had not stolen the secret of immortality from Tian Wen, how could things be as troublesome as they are now?
But at the same time, and because of this, the two of them actually mastered the secret of immortality that countless people throughout history have never been able to master, verifying the authenticity of this ancient magical skill.

"Capture these two men!" Yu Wenzhi ordered.

"Yes!" The dock garrison and gang thugs received the order at the same time and charged forward.

"what's the situation?"

"Why are there so many people?"

The two were shocked, but besides being surprised, there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Since becoming a Xiantian, he has never attacked anyone. Now these people are coming with great momentum and are obviously coming towards them.

Fight back immediately.

Although they had not learned any martial arts skills, they were innate warriors after all, and most of these soldiers and thugs were just ordinary people. Relying on their strong physical advantages, two of them punched one at a time and knocked down more than a dozen people in the blink of an eye.

But there were more than a hundred people surrounding them.

What's more, the two men had no weapons in their hands. Although their fists were powerful, they had no martial arts moves and could not fully exert their strength. The people who were knocked down by them before just felt a little pain on their bodies, without even a scratch, and they got up right away.

Seeing this, Kou Zhong defeated a soldier, snatched the steel knife from his hand, and slashed with it, causing blood to splatter.

"Get out of here! If you dare come any closer, I'll be rude to you!"

But unexpectedly, the other party was not afraid at all.

"Go! Go! They're just two people, and they're not martial arts masters. There are hundreds of us here, are we afraid of them?!"
