Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 106 Encounter
"I have decided that the escort agency will move to Songcheng in three days."

In the study of the escort agency, when Zhang Lishi finished speaking, Li Cunxiao felt as if a huge stone had fallen from his chest.

"Master, aren't you ready yet? What about the two uncles?"

Shi Tie was hesitant, but Zhang Lishi said directly:
"After the He family left, the Ming Cult and the inner city dogs were almost fighting each other."

“Even Murong Bo was sent out, which shows Murong Bo’s determination.”

"While their forces are stretched thin, it's a good time to leave."

"Wait a little longer, we are ready, and they are ready too."

While saying this, Zhang Lishi looked at Li Cunxiao beside him intentionally or unintentionally.

According to his intelligence, seven days ago, the He family was ambushed by two small families in the inner city and the Ming Cult.

But later, helpers appeared out of nowhere and slaughtered both sides.

The Ming Cult lost a leader who had achieved perfection in the third level of training, so naturally they were unwilling to give up. They officially raised the banner of rebellion and preached openly these days.

People from all over the country gathered to respond. Even though several heads of families in the inner city took turns to lead troops to suppress the rebellion, they were still unable to kill them all.

"Could it be Saburo who did it?"

The speculation has always been buried in my heart, but the truth is not very important.

Because at this moment, Li Cunxiao is a member of the escort agency, the stronger his fighting ability is, the more beneficial it is to their side.

Zhang Lishi has been tossing and turning these days, thinking about it frequently, but reason ultimately prevails.

Even if Li Cunxiao was not filial enough, he was definitely smart enough.

The other party and Xie Donglai are mortal enemies, and it is impossible for him to betray his master.

"We are leaving this time with a small group."

"The Cui brothers will take care of the supplies needed for the journey. Don't bring anything else if you can."

"This is the list we're evacuating."

Li Cunxiao came close to the stone iron and looked at the strings of names on it.

Now it is the middle of April, and those who could not hold on in the escort agency have already left, and most of those who remain are Zhang Lishi's loyal followers from his early years.

There are also quite a few young bodyguards who were orphans from outer cities, and most of them are supporters of Li Cunxiao.

The names of Qin Yu and Wei He, brother and sister, are prominently listed. This is the result of the collusion between Li Cunxiao and Shi Tie.

Generally speaking, most of the evacuated people were strong and healthy. Due to their poor backgrounds and displacement in the chaotic times, few of their parents were still alive.

There are not many women and children left, and they will be with Mrs. Zhang and the others.

The number of escorts and their relatives who accompanied him was no more than sixty people. Compared with the scene in the past when one person called out to hundreds of people, it felt a bit desolate.

"If there's nothing else, you can go back and prepare."

Zhang Lishi rubbed his eyebrows. He had been busy with the relocation of the escort agency these days.

Anyone who has moved before knows how troublesome it is, let alone moving far away to the state capital with fifty or sixty people.

In order to keep the secret, he had to do everything himself, and he was really tired.

Even if you are not physically tired, mental stress is unavoidable.

These days, Zhang Lishi feels like he has returned to his youth as a bodyguard, and he always puts his knife beside his bed before sleeping.

He would wake up immediately at the slightest sign of trouble, and would only breathe a sigh of relief after finding out that they were not coming to attack from the inner city.

Then, watching his wife's belly growing bigger day by day, he became completely sleepless and sat there in the middle of the night.

"Master, I have something to ask."

Li Cunxiao could see that Zhang Lishi was not in a good condition, but he still spoke.

"What's the matter? Oh, is it your elder brother Gao Cheng?"

Zhang Lishi then remembered that he had not been to Donglai Restaurant for a long time.

He took the list and looked at it, thinking for a moment.

"Then add his family to the list."

"Thank you, Master," Li Cunxiao felt touched. This was special care given by the other party for his sake.

"But that's not what I'm talking about, Disciple."

"I have completed the third round of training. I beg Master to teach me the method of tempering my internal organs!"

Quiet.

Quiet.

There was no disbelief or astonishment, because Zhang Lishi and Shi Tie's brains were unable to react at all for a moment.

"Junior brother, are you serious?"

"Brother, am I the kind of person who treats martial arts as a joke?"

Seeing that Li Cunxiao was full of confidence, Shi Tie simply punched him and started to weigh him.

Li Cunxiao was not in a hurry and also threw a punch.

Their fists collided, making a clanging sound, and the skin, muscles, and bones of both men seemed to be glowing faintly.

Shi Tie finally showed surprise in his eyes, and increased his strength from 30% to 50%.

In an instant, strong winds blew violently, and in just two or three breaths, the two men had fought dozens of times.

Bang!
The air exploded with a loud bang, and the air wave rushed out in a circular shape, sending rice paper flying all over the house.

The two men each took a few steps back, Shi Tie's fingers felt sore and swollen, while Li Cunxiao turned into a two-meter-tall giant, his cheeks red, his muscles wrinkled, his hair like fire, extremely terrifying.

Zhang Lishi's expression was extremely complicated for a moment.

There is joy, shock, and an intense entanglement and struggle.

"Master!"

The eldest disciple's voice suddenly woke him up. Zhang Lishi came to his senses and saw the ecstasy on Shi Tie's face and the nervousness on Li Cunxiao's face.

"Master?"

Shi Tie saw that Zhang Lishi remained silent for a long time and felt something was wrong.

Li Cunxiao was about to say something else when the former winked at him.

"Master, Auntie found a very good pregnancy-preserving medicine for Master's wife. Since I have nothing else to do, my junior apprentice brother and I will go take a look."

After Shi Tie finished speaking, he bowed, put his arm around Li Cunxiao, and took him out of the study without saying anything.

Near noon, sunlight streamed into the room, causing dust to dance. Zhang Lishi's figure was momentarily blurred by the light and shadow.

"Less than nine months of martial arts training, and your muscles are already perfect?"

The bewilderment of being overwhelmed by things beyond one's comprehension, the frustration of having worked hard for half a lifetime only to be easily surpassed by others.
Zhang Lishi murmured to himself, as if crying and laughing. At this moment, he suddenly understood what a true genius was.

Even the master who serves as a guide will be overshadowed by the crowd.

The struggle in his eyes deepened, but it wasn't out of suspicion.

At this point, Li Cunxiao's loyalty no longer needs to be tested, and cannot be tested.

"Sanlang is extremely talented and has extraordinary combat power. If he can break through his internal organs at this moment, the chances of the escort agency leaving will be greatly increased."

"But I practiced both the Tiger Demon Fist and the Little Yaksha Sword Technique out of helplessness. Recently, I was stuck at the Huangting Barrier because of this and suffered a lot."

"If we allow Sanlang to practice concurrently at this time, wouldn't that ruin his future?"

"Tiangu Temple isn't the only option. Even that Taoist elder, faced with Sanlang's incredible talent, would be tempted."

"But if Sanlang practices Buddhist martial arts, even if he disperses his skills and starts over, that senior will probably be dissatisfied."

"Unfortunately, right now, Murong Bo and the others will definitely not let the escort agency leave easily. There will definitely be a fierce battle. Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst."

"Spread it? Or not?"

Zhang Lishi seemed to be under a spell of immobilization, trapped in the chair, unable to move.

I'm so confused! I'm so confused!
"Brother, why did you do that just now?"

Li Cunxiao and Shi Tie rode side by side. In the carriage behind them were the eldest lady of the Zhang family and Zhang Yuelu, who were talking and laughing in low voices.

He did already have the method of breaking through the internal organs with the Vajra Palm. Even without the Yaksha Sword Technique, he could still refine the lungs, internal organs, and nasal orifices.

But the problem is that to break through the Vajra Palm, one needs to break through the evil spirit barrier. However, Zhang Lishi has a secret medicine to lure demons to the Little Yasha Sword Technique.

If he chooses the latter, Li Cunxiao only needs to use the vajra to suppress his mind. Not only will he be 100% sure of improving his internal organs, but he will also have the blessing of another Yaksha demon.

By then, there will be six demons in the body! Their strength will definitely far exceed that of ordinary newly promoted internal organs, and they will be safer when evacuating.

"Junior brother, you don't even have the awareness of being a genius."

Shi Tie rarely gave a bitter smile. This junior fellow was completely confused by the situation.

"Do you know how many years it took Brother to achieve perfect muscles? And how many more years did it take him to break through the bottleneck and advance his internal organs?"

"Among the Patriarchs in the Inner City, which one can you find who has achieved the same level of success as you before the age of twenty?"

"Nine months, from Qi and blood to muscle perfection. Junior brother, when I fought with you, it felt like a dream!"

Li Cunxiao was speechless for a moment.

It seems that he still underestimated the impact he had on the people around him.

"Master's early years of cultivation were not easy, and seeing such a monster like Junior Brother, it is inevitable that he loses his mind."

"Besides, I've been very busy lately. I hope Sanlang will understand and go back later. I'm sure Master won't be confused about this matter."

"It's not easy, senior brother," Li Cunxiao really admired Shi Tie.

In this chaotic world, the other party is kind-hearted and sincerely cares about me.

The master and his junior apprentice have a rift, but he still has to mediate between them, just like a middle-aged man caught between his mother and wife.

"This is not that hard," Shi Tie breathed a sigh of relief and smiled when he saw that Li Cunxiao really didn't care.

"In my early years, I had no food to eat and was begging everywhere. It was my master who kindly took me in."

"He taught me to read and learn martial arts, and later betrothed my aunt to me. Without my master, there would be no Shi Tie today."

The two brothers chatted and laughed, and when they arrived at the place, Zhang Yuelu accompanied his eldest sister into the yard.

The ancestors of the people here were originally herbalists. Later, they accidentally picked a sixty-year-old ginseng and settled down in the outer city.

However, after several generations, the descendants were not up to the task, and the inner city and the Ming Cult were fighting fiercely, so they thought about moving out.

During this period, similar situations occurred frequently in the outer city, and those who were well-informed had already left with their families.

As for the inner city, it has fertile fields of seven families and the granary of the county government. Compared with the depressed outer city, it even has a sense of prosperity and peace.

"This is a recipe passed down from my ancestors, Taishan Panshi Powder, which is the best for stabilizing pregnancy and nourishing qi."

Li Cunxiao looked at the people who were talking warily.

During this period of time, everyone he saw looked like a spy sent from the inner city.

He was afraid that he would fall into a trap and be harmed by the seven families in the inner city.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. I dared to take my wife out because I must have done some research."

"Murong Bo and several heads of the seven families led their troops out of the city early this morning. Murong Bo is a cautious and ruthless person. He will not act rashly without confidence."

"Besides, I still have this."

Shi Tie turned sideways, revealing the red-gold dragon-sparrow sword ring.

And things did go smoothly. After handing over the prescription, the group returned to the street calmly.

Seeing that there were still some people walking around in the outer city, Li Cunxiao finally felt relieved.

Just when passing by several watchtowers in the city, you can look up and see strings of dried human heads, which are said to be Murong Bo's spoils.

"By the way, Senior Brother, since you mentioned what happened back then, do you know why Master left Tiangu Temple?"

After all, no matter how big the escort agency's foundation is, it can only be the local tyrant of a county at most. How can it be compared with the provincial government?

Not to mention martial arts, resources have always been siphoned away by larger cities.

There must be some hidden reason behind Zhang Lishi's departure from Tiangu Temple.

"Master doesn't like to talk about the past, but on the day of my wedding, he got drunk and let something slip."

Shi Tie showed a look of reminiscence.

"Back then, Master was taught the Tiger Demon Fist by a stranger, but unfortunately, that senior had very high standards and I was not allowed to become his disciple."

“After the muscles were perfected, there was nowhere to go. The master took the art to a disciple, and after a lot of effort, I was able to enter the inner courtyard of Tiangu Temple.”

"But later, out of righteous indignation, I offended a senior brother from the inner courtyard. It became difficult for me to gain a foothold in the temple, so I had no choice but to leave."

When Shi Tie said this, he seemed to have realized something.

He saw how difficult it was for Zhang Lishi to break through the Huangting, and practicing both the Tiger Demon Fist and the Yaksha Sword was a helpless move for him.

As he grew older, he began to feel that his martial arts training was wearing out.

Even though Li Cunxiao was extremely talented, he would rather avoid some hardships than endure them.

Could it be that besides Tiangu Temple, Master has other options?

"Senior Brother," Li Cunxiao's hurried voice interrupted Shi Tie.

Looking at the teams of armored soldiers coming towards him, the latter's face darkened and he subconsciously grabbed the hilt of the Dragon Sparrow Sword.

Murong Bo and Ye Zhiqiu? Aren't they going out of the city to suppress the rebellion?

It's only a quarter past noon, how come you've brought your troops back so soon?
"Uncle Ye, the children of the Sixth Family are too careless!"

"When I joined the army to suppress the rebellion, I cowered like a turtle when I met the incense masters and altar masters, but when I met the untouchables, I slaughtered them without mercy."

Murong Bo sneered, "They are all a bunch of dandies who bully the weak and fear the strong!"

"If we keep fighting like this, when will we be able to completely wipe out the Demon Cult? When will we be able to free up our hands to take down the Flying Tiger Escort Agency?"

Being scolded by name like this was something that even Ye Zhiqiu, who had been wearing thick skin for decades, felt a little embarrassed.

But after glancing at the other person's bloodshot eyes, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

These days, the fighting between the inner city and the Ming Cult has become increasingly fierce, and personnel mobilization is stretched to the limit.

Murong Bo repeatedly requested, and Murong Bai had no choice but to send his son out.

Just as the latter worried, under the stimulation of a large amount of killing and blood, Murong Bo's mental state became increasingly manic even though he was wearing the cassock that he had obtained at a huge cost.

"When he encounters untouchables, he kills them until the blood flows into a river" is actually a true portrayal of himself.

"Although we didn't gain much today, my dear nephew has been working hard for several days, so it's a good time to go back and rest for a while."

Murong Bo's expression suddenly turned cold when he heard this.

"Is it my father's intention?"

"My dear, your father is doing this for your own good."

"Shut up!"

Ye Zhiqiu's face looked ugly. After all, he was the head of the clan. He was extremely unhappy to be repeatedly ignored by a junior.

But he didn't know that Murong Bo was even more unhappy.

Since he came out of seclusion, nothing has gone well for him.

Even if ten or a hundred Jingguans were built, they would not be enough to allow him to vent his anger.

What he wanted most now was to kill his former rival Shi Tie and capture Li Cunxiao, who had betrayed him, alive and then eat him alive.
"Ok?"

Looking at the two horses and a carriage coming from the other side of the outer city main road, Murong Bo almost thought he was crazy and had hallucinations.

After confirming that it was true, a bold idea naturally popped up in his mind.

"Master Ye, aren't you worried that Zhang Lishi will be caught in a desperate situation and destroy the demon's flesh species?"

"If we capture his senior and junior disciples, and also the women of the Zhang family, can we make him surrender?"

Ye Zhiqiu followed his gaze, his expression suddenly changed, and he stood in front of Murong Bo's horse.

"Murong Bo! Now is not the time yet. Everything can only be decided after discussing it with the county lord."

"Ye Zhiqiu! This isn't a negotiation."

“It’s a notification!!!”

Murong Bo's energy and blood exploded, and in a few breaths he flew across dozens of feet. He clenched his amber-colored fist and smashed it down towards Shi Tie and the other two.

Smoke and dust rolled back, and earth and rocks flew into the sky!
