One person established a clan

Chapter 14: Gradually Gaining Strength
Boom——!
A fierce gust of air suddenly exploded between the clouds and the sea.

Su Cheng flew out backwards, supported himself with one hand and bounced off the ground, flipped in the air and landed on the ground, sliding several feet before he could stop himself.

He exhaled rapidly and suddenly twisted his waist and leaped up. Behind him suddenly burst out a series of clanging golden swords - twelve illusory spirit swords pierced into the place where he had just stood, and the tails of the swords were still buzzing and vibrating.

"Ding!"

A streak of frost brushed past his face, shaving off the strands of hair on his temples before disappearing into the sea of ​​clouds.

Looking up, I saw an illusory figure floating in the air, with spiritual swords swirling around him, emitting a cold glow from the moonlight.

"call"

Su Cheng leaned forward slightly, his eyes sharp, and slowly exhaled a hot white mist.

Compared to the embarrassment of being killed instantly yesterday, he has been reborn after fighting to this point with his mid-level Ruxuan cultivation.

“But the gap is indeed huge.”

Su Cheng rubbed his dry palms and smacked his lips. Although he could roughly understand the difference between Ruxuan and Xinxuan after listening to Shixuan's narration, he could still understand the difference between Ruxuan and Xinxuan.

But only after experiencing it personally can one understand the power of Xinxuan's methods.

The shadowy figure's every move swirled with spiritual energy like a dancing silver snake, its moves more treacherous than a rainstorm of pear blossoms. If they were careless enough to touch anything, even metal and steel would be ripped to shreds.

His mind raced as Su Cheng suddenly swung his palm, and the silver-white aura condensed into a streak of light, slashing towards the figure in the air like a blade.

Liu Tianxiang lightly raised his right palm, swirling Qi like a shield. With a snap, the Five Mysterious Techniques only left a ripple of cut marks in it, and soon disappeared.

It flicked its sleeve and a rain of swords fell from the sky.

Su Cheng gritted his teeth and rushed forward fearlessly. When he was about to be pierced by the sword, he snapped his fingers in an instant.

A flash of spiritual light was like a fine needle, breaking through the rain of swords and suddenly piercing into the center of Liu Tianxiang's eyebrows.

"it is good--"

Before the cheers died down, the tiny wound on Liu Tianxiang's forehead healed in an instant.

Su Cheng only had time to yell "Fuck!" before he was instantly engulfed by the rain of swords, piercing him like a hedgehog.

"hiss!"

He suddenly woke up with his eyes open, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Looking at the dim guest rooms around him, Su Cheng realized that he had been "beaten" out of the training room.

But he was not discouraged by this. Instead, he grinned even more excitedly, immediately opened the training room again, and immersed his mind in it.

That trembling crisis between life and death was like hot magma rolling into the heart.

Gradually figuring out the opponent's moves and methods, and exploring ways to break through the opponent, is like solving a puzzle.

Every time I dodge more neatly or counterattack more accurately, I will have a sense of accomplishment and just think that I can do better next time!

"Brother Liu, come back before dawn!"

As the sky brightened, the smell of fireworks gradually rose in the inn, and the aroma of roasted meat and peppers wafted in the air.

Su Cheng yawned and wiped his face casually in front of the bronze mirror.

Shi Xuan sat indifferently beside the bed, the jade hairpin flickered faintly between his hair, and his remaining soul seemed to be secretly surprised and suspicious.

This Su Cheng, he was sleeping normally the night before yesterday, but why was he so weird last night?

Sometimes he would sleep, sometimes he would wake up, and sometimes he would make strange laughs.
"what?"

Shi Xuan quickly realized something was wrong.

Yesterday, I saw that although this person had a pure and powerful cultivation, he was still a little immature.

But just overnight, his aura had transformed from a rough jade covered with dust into a sheathed cold blade, and the muscles in his shoulders and back rose and fell like bowstrings as he wiped them, clearly having been tempered through thousands of life-and-death battles.

"Pity."

Su Cheng put on his black robe again, still thinking about practicing martial arts and fighting, clicking his tongue as if he was still unsatisfied.

After a night of searching, I finally learned how to counter Elder Liu's various tactics. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to kill him head-on, which was a bit disappointing.

"Sir, someone is looking for you."

The waiter's voice sounded outside the door: "Your breakfast is here." "It will be right there." Su Cheng passed by the bed and glanced at Shi Xuan.

"Miss Shi, I'm going to take you out for a walk today too. Excuse me."

"."

Shi Xuan's body remained motionless, her face as cold as before, only the jade hairpin in her hair flashed slightly, as if in response.

Su Cheng smiled helplessly: "If others saw this, they would think I was crazy and talking to myself."

He directly took Shi Xuanhao's wrist and pulled him out of the guest room.

He was just guessing that it would be Wen Qimeng from last night who was looking for him, but when he went downstairs, he found out that it was the young man Duan Mocheng.

"Don't blame me, my good man."

Duan Mocheng quickly stood up to greet him, smiling awkwardly and bowing, "I was just asking around, I didn't expect you to actually be in this inn, it wasn't my intention to track you down."

Su Cheng waved his hand to interrupt his explanation, brought the steamed buns and meat and took a few bites.

"Why did you come looking for me so early in the morning?"

"A good man has a keen eye."

Duan Mocheng chuckled, then quickly put away his frivolous expression. "I'm here to find a hero for a reason."

"About the Huanxing Sect?"

"That's right." Duan Mocheng pondered for a moment and said, "The death of the Living Immortal yesterday caused a great uproar in the town, and the news also spread to the Huanxing Sect. Several cultivators entered the town early this morning and are now interrogating the authorities about the cause."

Su Cheng glanced at him and said, "Why are you here instead of staying at the government office?"

Duan Mocheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he leaned in closer and whispered, "I conducted an in-depth investigation yesterday and learned that several wealthy families in this town have close ties with the Huanxing Sect. The Huanxing Sect cultivators came here to meet with them before heading to the government office."

"you mean"

"While the government was arguing with them, I sneaked into their house and searched for evidence."

Duan Mocheng's eyes flickered, and he was eager to try. "I've done some thorough investigations. These wealthy families' behavior is quite suspicious. There must be clues in their houses that point to the Huanxing Sect!"

Su Cheng held his forehead with his hand and sighed in silence, "They want to establish an image of immortality in the local area, so how could they leave such an obvious omission?"

Moreover, not all members of the Huanxing Sect were fools. Faced with internal and external troubles, they would surely be well prepared.

This group of monks entered the city this time and first went to find those wealthy families, who must have made some arrangements.

If he followed Duan Mocheng's idea and foolishly ran to look for clues, he would probably be outmaneuvered by the other party and be thrown dirty water back at him, leaving him with no way to defend himself.

"This"

After listening to Su Cheng's explanation, Duan Mocheng thought about it carefully and realized that his idea was too rash.

"Then what should we do?"

Duan Mocheng's face was tense, and he pounded the table lightly with his fist, as if he was thinking hard.

It wasn't that he was incompetent, but rather that this town had been meticulously planned by the Huanxing Sect over many years, with strange things everywhere, yet no clues could be found. As an outsider arriving here for the first time, he naturally had his difficulties.

If someone were to conclude that there was something fishy going on in the Huanxing Sect based solely on the poison of the Heart-Rotting Grass, I'm afraid the local people would be the first to disbelieve it.

"Of course there is a way."

"really?!"

Seeing Su Cheng suddenly stand up, Duan Mocheng couldn't help but show his joy: "Please give me some advice, my dear!"

"If you want to find evidence, you can just ask him in person and you'll know."

".ah?"

"Let's go." Su Cheng pulled Shi Xuan and walked out of the inn immediately.

Duan Mocheng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed suit: "Wait a minute, dear, where are we going?"

"Go meet the monks from Huanxing Sect."
