Chapter 101: 100 Road Ahead
The name of treason may scare others, but it cannot scare Zhang Lishi who travels all over the country.

Not to mention that killing Xie Donglai is not considered treason, it is at most a personal grudge.

In this shitty world today, even if there is a rebellion, what can we do?

"My apprentice was returning from escort duty when he was blocked at the city gate by Old Dog Xie. He almost died!"

"He's at the internal organs level, and his eyes are on a dog?!"

"If you want to fight me? Then do it!"

Seeing that Zhang Lishi refused to give in, especially after seeing the horrific knife mark on the city wall, Murong Bo's face suddenly became gloomy.

He sent his own people to ambush and kill, and he knew in his heart whether it was right or not.

The key point is that Zhang Lishi’s attitude is so tough that he can’t help but think too much.

Could it be that the other party has really broken through the Huangting realm?
During this moment of hesitation, the Cui brothers and Shi Tie rushed over with dozens of fully armed bodyguards.

Behind them, Murong Bo also followed with the heads of the remaining six families.

"Isn't there a Ming Cult?"

Feeling the oppressive atmosphere, Xiao Yan, the head of the Xiao family, stopped talking halfway through.

The two sides faced off, tit for tat.

Suddenly, shadows appeared on the ground, and the fishy smell of the earth was splashed by raindrops.

The spring rain comes at the right time.

"No. If we delay any longer, Old Xie's left hand will be crippled."

"The fate of Wen Hao and the others is uncertain, and the situation hasn't been clarified yet. This is not the time to start a war."

Murong Bo's eyes flashed, and just as he was about to speak, a burst of dense footsteps sounded.

Li Cunxiao took off his helmet and walked over with his escort, who was covered in scars.

Zhang Lishi looked at his apprentice's walking posture and expression, and felt relieved that he should be fine.

But his expression remained tense, his right hand gripping the hilt of the Dragon Sparrow Sword, and he emphasized again, word by word:
"Murong Bo, do you want to fight with me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the heads of the four lower families changed, but Murong Bai's expression returned to normal.

"Brother Zhang, you are too kind."

"Xie County Lieutenant was careless for a moment and caused a misunderstanding. Now that you've killed him, your anger should have subsided."

The two groups fell silent again, and the tense atmosphere gradually dissipated as the escorts slowly walked to the city gate.

But when they saw the thatched cart being pulled by the team and Li Cunxiao covered in blood, Zhang Lishi and the other three became more angry again.

This escort mission should have been a sure success, but it resulted in such heavy casualties.

Someone must be interfering!

Judging from Xie Donglai's abnormal behavior, is there any need to say more about who the culprit is?
But looking at the seven or eight internal organ masters behind Murong Bo, Zhang Lishi finally remained silent.

A fishy-sweet taste rose in his throat, but he forced it down;

The hand holding the Dragon Sparrow Sword trembled imperceptibly.

When they saw the embarrassed escort team, Murong Bo and his men did not feel much joy, but instead all had long faces.

These people shouldn't be here at all.

Did Wen Hao and others really fail?
In the oppressive silence, Li Cunxiao and others were protected by the Cui brothers and turned to leave.

At this moment, Zhang Lishi, who had already taken a few steps, paused and suddenly spoke:
"My manor was attacked by thieves last night, and the fields were almost burned down by fire. Does County Master Murong have any clues?"

The six family heads were stunned when they heard this, and Murong Bai raised his eyebrows.

"Is there such a thing?"

"It is true. If I hadn't responded in time, I'm afraid the fields would have been destroyed."

Shi Tie spoke in a bad tone, and Cui Yao looked at Xie Donglai with a sarcastic look on his face.

"They keep shouting about suppressing bandits, but I don't know what kind of bandits the county government is suppressing?"

"If you're a wimp who can only whine over the death of your nephew, then you might as well give me this position as county lieutenant!"

"Cui Er! I'm in you."

Xie Donglai was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot, but was stopped in time by Ye Zhiqiu and Xiao Yan.

When the escort agency's shadows disappeared, Xie Donglai suddenly broke free from the two men's grasp, staring at Murong Bo with bloodshot eyes:
"My Lord, how long do I have to wait to end this blood feud?"

Han Yu, who was standing beside him, also had a bad look on his face. "I want to ask Brother Murong, too."

"There's no news from my son, but Li Cunxiao and Ge Yingyang have returned."

"Whether he is alive or dead, there must be news."

"Why didn't the eight of us capture Zhang Lishi and the others just now?"

The head of the Shen family also looked unhappy when he heard this.

Although Shen He is not his only son, Shen Que is one of the best second-level masters in the clan.

As the leader of the alliance, wasn't Murong Bo's attitude just now too weak?
"One more thing, Brother Murong."

Ye Zhiqiu also stood up and coughed lightly.

"What happened to Zhang Lishi's estate being attacked? This doesn't seem to be part of our plan."

Murong Bo looked at this "forcing the emperor to abdicate" scene, and his expression suddenly became unfriendly, but his father Murong Bai grabbed his shoulders.

Let out a chuckle.

"What if I say that Zhang Lishi has demon flesh seeds?"

Demonic flesh?!
As soon as those four words came out, they seemed to have a strange magical power. Even Xie Donglai, who had clenched his fists the tightest, froze in anger.

Not to mention the other family heads, except Han Yu, almost everyone showed greed.

"Is this true?!"

"Otherwise, why would I risk alerting the enemy and attack Zhang Lishi's estate?"

Murong Bo's tone was filled with regret. He actually only found out about the attack afterward, otherwise he would have gone there in person.

Zhang Lishi's manor has always been guarded by Shi Tie. Several family heads recalled Shi Tie's energetic look just now, and immediately realized that the meat seed must not have been obtained yet.

But then again, once we succeed, there will be six companies here, so how should we divide it?

"Brother Murong, your clan already has a county magistrate's meat seed, so this extra one is right?"

"Brother Murong is the head of my seven families. I was disrespectful just now."

"Brother Han, where are you going? Come on, I know you're anxious, but don't worry. Isn't my son also in the team?"

"."

The heads of the five families changed their expressions in an instant, dragging the reluctant Han Yu along with them.

Murong Bo personally supported Xie Donglai, and in Murong Bo's admiring eyes, he said nonchalantly:

"Master Zhang Li is unusually tough today. I don't know if he's just pretending, or if he's truly made a breakthrough in his cultivation."

"We are all clan leaders, responsible for the livelihoods of hundreds of clan members. We can't put ourselves in danger, right?"

"If he goes all out and destroys his species, wouldn't that mean we've done nothing?"

"I have a plan on how to seize the meat species and surround and kill Zhang Lishi."

"Master, have you broken through the Huangting?"

Li Cunxiao settled the injured bodyguards and went straight to the study.

But when he pushed open the door, he saw Zhang Lishi with a tired face and a blood-stained scarf in his hand.

The excited expression slowly subsided.

"It's not that easy."

Zhang Lishi waved his hand pretending to be relaxed and was about to make a joke when he suddenly burst into a cough, and there was blood in his sputum.

"Master."

Li Cunxiao looked worried. The other party looked like he was deeply hurt.

The blow on the city wall just now was definitely not as easy as it seemed.

"Junior brother, Master has reached the state of perfect internal organs. These minor internal injuries are not serious." "As long as you don't fight with others for half a month and use your energy to nourish your internal organs, you will be well soon."

Shi Tie spoke to comfort him, but Li Cunxiao was a little unconvinced and looked at the Cui brothers.

Only when Cui Yao nodded did he feel relieved.

"My internal organs are weak, and I can't afford two magic treasures for the time being."

"Tiezi, you just got attacked in the manor. The situation is unclear right now. Take this Dragon Sparrow Knife with you."

When Li Cunxiao saw the black scabbard with gold inlay and the red gold dragon-sparrow sword ring, a hint of passion appeared in his eyes.

If he had such a powerful magic treasure, he would dare to fight Murong Bo head-on.

After all, with the Vajra suppressing it, the so-called evil treasures and evil nature are nothing to be afraid of.

"Sanlang, you haven't reached the internal organs realm yet. Using magic treasures is too dangerous for you."

Zhang Lishi's eyes were so sharp that Li Cunxiao immediately lowered his head and changed the subject.

"Brother, what happened to the manor being attacked?"

But he couldn't help but glance at the emerald green wind-fixing beads on the table.

Even without the Dragon Sparrow Sword, it would be nice to be able to control the wind. Maybe I can even fly at low altitude?

"The news about the demon species has been leaked."

Shi Tie sighed, and when he opened his mouth, Li Cunxiao's heart jumped in surprise.

"Been robbed?"

"No, it's still there."

"Those people originally came for the manor's food, but accidentally stumbled upon me cultivating demon meat seeds."

"It's no longer safe for the meat seed to stay in the manor, so I rushed back with them overnight."

Li Cunxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He wanted to take a look at the current status of the meat seeds cultivation over the past few months, but when he saw the four people were silent, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"Sanlang, tell me what happened on the way to escort the convoy."

Li Cunxiao told them everything. When they heard that the Shen family, the Han family, and that Murong Gongfeng had taken action, the four of them looked even uglier.

"It's still unclear whether the attackers on the manor were from the inner city or the Ming Cult."

"The worst-case scenario now is that Murong Bo attacks from both sides and tries to cut off my arm."

If they knew about the existence of the flesh species, they would probably not give up. "

The angrier Zhang Lishi got, the tighter the wrinkles on his face became, making him look older and more tired.

Li Cunxiao and Shi Tie walked out of the study worriedly.

"Brother, can't the meat seed be used now?"

Shi Tie held the Dragon Sparrow Knife without showing much excitement, only feeling that it was heavy in his hand.

"Difficult. Originally, that flesh species had been dormant for nearly a hundred years, entering a hibernation-like state."

"Over the past few months, I have spent countless silvers on preparing medicinal herbs and feeding half of the manor's stored grain before it finally became active."

"But once the meat seeds are turned into meat fields, it is very troublesome to move them, and it also consumes a lot of food to grow meat."

"The current situation is tense, and I'm afraid the conditions don't exist."

Li Cunxiao felt even heavier in his heart when he heard this, but he also vaguely sensed something else in the other person's words.

Escort Agency, are we leaving?

"Cui Da, Cui Er, what do you think? Should the escort agency leave Chuqiu?"

In the study, Zhang Lishi looked at the Cui brothers with different expressions and said to himself:

"The current situation in Chuqiu is that the inner city and the Ming Cult are at loggerheads, and our escort agency is stuck in the middle."

"You want to remain neutral? I don't have the strength. You want to take sides? I look down on both the Ming Cult and Murong Bo."

"The escort agency has become an unstable factor. Neither side wants us to join either side."

"Now that the flesh has been exposed, there is little chance of survival if it stays in Chuqiu."

Having said this, he seemed to have made a decision. Cui Wei struggled, but finally nodded as if accepting his fate.

"Never mind. Although I'm reluctant to give up this legacy, I've followed you, Zhang Lishi, for decades. This time, I still trust you."

"Me too!"

Cui Yao followed closely behind, and the three old friends smiled at each other.

Friendship is unspoken.

"But I have to remind you," Cui Wei put away his smile.

"You're so shameless that you've tried to break through the Huangting several times in a row, relying solely on the Migu Flower to protect your mind."

"Your internal organs are injured now. The current situation won't allow you to overexert yourself like this. I'm afraid that strike you made today wasn't easy, was it?"

Zhang Lishi exhaled heavily, and the body in the chair seemed to have shortened a little.

"The one who understands me is Cui Da."

"With the Wind-Fixing Pearl and the Dragon Sparrow Sword in hand, even those at the Huangting realm can fight against enemies. But the impact of these two magic treasures on the mind is too great."

When he said this, he showed a bit of fear on his face.

He took out a chain from his bosom, on which hung three gray-black jade flowers.

With a light pinch, it turned into powder and fell to the ground, obviously it had been used up.

"Donkey! Don't use all my share!"

Cui Yao let out a strange cry, but Zhang Lishi knew that his old friend was reminding him in a roundabout way, so he smiled and took out a green Zhuyu grass.

After swallowing it, the pure blood and a trace of spiritual energy were controlled by him and seeped into his internal organs, and his expression immediately became much better.

I felt a little pain in my heart.

"Don't worry, I've kept the portion for Sanlang and the others. If I wasn't in urgent need of healing, I wouldn't be willing to chew on the peony like this."

"If it can be refined into an elixir, the value of this Zhuyu Grass will increase several times."

"Is this how we can gain a foothold after leaving Chuqiu?" Cui Wei thought thoughtfully.

"Where?"

"Go to Songzhou," Zhang Lishi said without hesitation.

"I have enemies in Tiangu Temple, but I also have a few acquaintances. If I can find a way to get Shi Tie, Yue Er and the others in to learn martial arts, it shouldn't be difficult."

"Aren't you planning to let Li Cunxiao enshrine himself in Tiangu Temple?"

Cui Yao was unusually perceptive, and Zhang Lishi showed a complicated expression when he heard this.

"Back then, I was conceited and ignorant. Just because the Tiger Demon Fist combined with the Little Yasha Sword Technique was so powerful, I thought I could integrate the two martial arts."

"Now that I'm stuck in Huangting, unable to make any progress, I've truly realized the disadvantages of mixed martial arts and the mutual attacks of demons."

"Sanlang's talent is so high that it far surpasses everyone else in the escort agency. I don't want to hinder his future."

Having said that, he fell silent, but the person who taught him the Tiger Demon Fist appeared in his mind.

"Cui Da, Cui Er, now that Shi Tie has returned, the manor is an important place for military supplies and fodder, so I'll have to trouble you to guard it."

The Cui brothers had no objection, but all three of them were worried.

Compared with the seven families, the escort agency's internal organs realm warriors are really stretched.

But at this time, where can we find help from masters at the internal organs level?
The spring rain was drizzling, the sky was dark, and the setting sun quietly fell into the shadow of the mountain.

In the misty and rain-shrouded Chuqiu City, in the night, a dragonfly-like figure flew over the eaves and walls, bypassed the patrolling city guards, and climbed over the inner city wall.

Finally, they stopped near the residence of the Shen family, one of the seven families.

This huge courtyard is home to Shen Peng's brothers and descendants. In other words, they are all direct descendants of the Shen family.

Li Cunxiao squinted his eyes at the brilliant lights, turned into a black shadow, and quietly lurked in.
