Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 379 Find an opportunity to tie up Xiongba!

Today, it is difficult to regard Liang Jin as an ordinary human being in the true sense of the word.

Under normal circumstances, human physical growth reaches its peak at around the age of 30, and it will be difficult to make further breakthroughs thereafter.

However, after fusing the essence and blood of the divine beast, Liang Jin clearly felt that the limits of his physical body had been significantly improved.

This means that as he grows older, there is still a lot of room for his body to reach its peak.

Liang Jin made a rough inference in his mind that his physical body would not reach its peak condition until he was in his sixties or seventies.

This also shows that Liang Jin's body can continue to grow and will become stronger as he grows older!
Liang Jin's figure slowly emerged from the Hundred Evils Body state.

His eyes revealed a strong sense of confidence:

"If I were to encounter a top-tier third-grade warrior like Li Xueqing again, I wouldn't just be able to injure her."

"With my current strength, I can definitely beat her to death!"

Recalling the previous battle with Li Xueqing, Liang Jin knew very well that both sides had held back and had not revealed all their cards.

Although he was able to suppress Li Xueqing at that time, he was not completely sure whether he could kill her.

However, now, Liang Jin's physical strength has become so strong that it far exceeds the scope of human warriors.

As the saying goes, "One force can defeat ten skills." With this powerful force alone, he is fearless of Li Xueqing's trump card and can kill her in one fell swoop!
"If I had not chosen to fuse the blood of the giant snake, but instead chose to fuse the blood of the divine eagle, what would I be like now?"

Liang Jin couldn't help but fall into reverie.

When he thought that he might be covered with feathers and become a weird "birdman", he couldn't help but shudder and secretly felt lucky that he had made the right choice.

After all, being a little dragon man is better than being a bird man no matter how you look at it.

Now that he had tested his own strength, Liang Jin did not delay any longer and swam out of the deep sea quickly.

After he returned to his normal adult state, he floated lightly to the surface of the sea.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Jin used his lightness skills and quickly skimmed across the water. He lightly tapped the water with his feet and flew towards the shore as if he were walking on flat ground.

in the distance.

A large ship with bright lanterns hanging on it was slowly sailing away from Hualong Island and heading towards Bibo City.

"It's so late, is anyone leaving the island?"

Liang Jin was slightly surprised when he saw the boat.

After all, after nightfall, there are very few ships entering or leaving Hualong Island, unless they encounter extremely important or urgent matters.

However, this obviously has little to do with him.

He just took a casual look and quickly flew towards his residence.

...............

In Bibo City, there is an unremarkable house.

Even the elderly who have lived in this city all their lives often find it difficult to figure out who the current owner of this house is.

And for most people, they have no idea that this house is actually the branch of Hualongmen Duzhi Hall established outside the island.

Usually, this is managed by a purchasing deacon.

At this time, in the secret room of the mansion, purchasing deacon Yan You was having a secret conversation with a disciple.

The candlelight in the secret room flickered, and the dim light reflected on the faces of the two people, making their expressions look particularly serious.

If you look closely, you can find that there is a piece of skin sticking out on the disciple's cheek.

Yan You had sharp eyes. Seeing this, his face darkened and he scolded in a low voice:
"Your face is peeling."

"How many times have I told you that a human skin mask needs to be soaked in potions for at least two hours every day to ensure it fits perfectly to the face without revealing any flaws?"

"It goes without saying that you didn't soak your mask long enough today."

When the disciple heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly reached out to touch his face.

When he touched the peeling area, he was horrified and apologized hastily:

"Sir, I was so focused on gathering information today that I wasted so much time that I didn't have enough time to soak the mask."

"Please punish me, sir!"

Yan You snorted coldly but didn't speak immediately.

Now they are far away from the capital and come to the East China Sea to carry out special missions. When they are away from home, many things cannot be punished easily.

Seeing that Yan You did not get angry, the disciple quickly spoke again:
"I've heard some unusual news. The Baojian Hall auction, originally scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, has been rescheduled to the evening due to the Hualong Gate incident."

"Furthermore, I have discovered that the person who ordered the auction time to be changed is actually an important figure in Hualongmen."

"His name is Xiong Ba. He is the chief disciple of Hualong Sect and concurrently serves as the spy commander and supervisor. It can be said that within Hualong Sect, besides the elders, he holds the highest position."

"As for why Xiongba suddenly changed the auction time, it's still unclear. Disciples of Hualong Sect say it's because Xiongba is greedy and lustful, and he changed the time to please a beautiful female disciple."

"But I feel that this excuse is untenable. There must be something else behind it. This auction may be an important opportunity for us to investigate the top management of Hualongmen."

At this moment, there seemed to be a strange misalignment between their identities and what they said.

Judging from their appearance and attire, they were clearly registered disciples of the Hualong Sect.

However, the content of their conversation seemed to have nothing to do with their identities as Hualongmen.

Yan You's expression eased slightly when he heard this, and he nodded slightly.
"That Xiongba is indeed not a simple character."

Since the subordinates were investigating important information, the lack of soaking time for their masks was understandable.

Moreover, this news really aroused Yan You's interest.

He had also heard the Hualong Sect disciples mention that the most popular person in the sect recently was a guy named Xiongba.

This person has not been in the job for long, but his promotion speed is astonishingly fast, rising like a rocket.

The most outrageous thing is that this person's origin is unknown and he is quite suspected by the elders in the sect, but he is favored by the sect leader.

Yan You would never believe that such a person would be obsessed with women and do such a ridiculous thing for a beautiful female disciple.

So, Yan You continued:

"Your judgment is basically correct. This auction must be holding a hidden agenda. Hualongmen is definitely involved and has some ulterior motive."

"It's just that the level of the people involved is too high, and those ordinary disciples have no way of knowing, so they are just making random guesses."

"You guys continue to pay close attention to the situation of this auction. When the auction starts tomorrow night, we will also go to join in the fun."

"If there's a chance, we'll try to secretly capture Xiong Ba. From him, we'll definitely be able to obtain the core secrets of the Hualong Sect."

After all, Xiongba's status is much higher than that of a purchasing deacon, and the information he possesses is definitely of great value.

When the disciple saw that Yan You was interested in the information he had obtained, a heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not worried about whether he could defeat Xiongba.

After all, in his opinion, Xiong Ba was just a fourth-grade warrior.

Although this disciple had no confidence in his ability to defeat Xiong Ba, he knew that it would be easy for the master in front of him to deal with a fourth-grade warrior. At this moment, Yan You suddenly looked stern and asked:

"Is there any news from the fourth brother?"

Upon hearing this, the disciple shook his head helplessly.

He has been guarding here, but has never received any information from the fourth brother.

Yan You frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes:
"We agreed that if everything was safe on Hualong Island and the investigation made progress, we would send a message back by carrier pigeon."

"If I don't receive the pigeon from Lao Si before dark tomorrow, then Lao Si must have been in trouble."

Hearing this, the disciple's heart suddenly felt heavy.

After Shadow Gate's head constable Sima Nian sneaked into Hualong Gate, he also disappeared without a trace and no news of him was heard.

Even the elite captain of the police encountered such a dilemma, let alone an elite constable like Lao Si.

Speaking of the Hualong Gate, it is really mysterious. Even the Dongzhou martial arts world knows almost nothing about it.

If the Six Gates of Dongzhou had not accidentally taken in a traitor from the Hualong Gate, this sect would probably have continued to remain hidden and unknown.

However, the foundation of this sect is so powerful that it is astonishing.

At first, when the people at the Six Gates Headquarters in the capital heard the report from the Six Gates of Dongzhou, they all thought that the Hualong Gate was just an insignificant overseas sect.

However, as the investigation continued to deepen, everyone was shocked to realize that they had discovered a behemoth that had been hidden overseas for decades.

The most terrifying thing is that although Hualongmen possesses world-renowned strength, they deliberately keep a low profile and hide themselves from the world. No one knows their true intentions.

Such a sect would naturally cause people to worry.

So, at the beginning, it was the Six Gates of Dongzhou who launched the investigation, but the Hualong Gate seemed to be everywhere, and the traitor of the Hualong Gate that the Six Gates had finally found was poisoned, causing the clues to be interrupted for a while.

Later, the head of the Shadow Gate Constable traveled thousands of miles to Dongzhou and successfully sneaked into Hualong Island, but in the end there was no news of him either.

This series of events finally attracted the attention of everyone at the headquarters, which led to this secret mission.

"Sir, should we request support from the Six Gates of Dongzhou?"

The disciple asked cautiously.

Yan You shook his head without hesitation:

"No need. I'm worried that there might be spies from Hualongmen among them."

"Especially since the previous leader Liang Qizhi was transferred, there isn't even a single fourth-grade master left in the Six Gates of Dongzhou."

"To deal with a first-rate sect like Hualongmen, it would be meaningless for people below the fourth rank to get involved."

Upon hearing this, the disciple could only nod in agreement.

Just then, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

The disciple's expression tensed and he immediately fell silent, even subconsciously wanting to reach out and extinguish the candle.

Yan You, however, remained calm and raised his hand to stop him:

"Don't worry, it's the third brother who's here."

Sure enough, a figure quickly flashed into the secret room.

This person was also wearing the Hualongmen uniform and dressed like a Hualongmen disciple.

As soon as he entered the secret room, he hurriedly reported to Yan You:

"Sir, Zou Cifeng has arrived at Bibo City with a group of experts from Xiafei Villa."

Upon hearing this news, everyone couldn't help but show a slightly excited look on their faces.

Zou Cifeng is a third-rank warrior. He is highly respected in the Dongzhou martial arts world, has a wide network of contacts, and is known as the number one master in Dongzhou!

Most importantly, he had a close relationship with the adult who was dressed as Yan You.

If we can get Zou Cifeng's help, then this mission will definitely be much easier.

Immediately, Yan You cheered up, stood up and said:

"Looks like it's time to go meet my old friend."

"He and I have a life-long friendship, and he will definitely give me this favor."

"With him helping me, even if the Hualongmen elders come to Bibo City in person, we are confident that we can capture and kidnap him!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited.

If we can really capture an elder of Hualongmen and bring him back, it would be a great achievement.

Even if we can't capture the elder, if we can capture a Xiongba and bring him back, it can be considered a successful mission!

…………

the next day.

On Hualong Island, nothing earth-shattering happened.

The only thing that attracted more attention was the changes in the Law Enforcement Hall.

Liang Jin continued to rectify the Law Enforcement Hall.

Yesterday, he just dealt with those who had offended him.

Today, he dismissed all the people promoted by Li Xueqing, as well as those who were related to Li Xueqing, and expelled them from the Law Enforcement Hall and transferred them to other halls.

Liang Jin did this for the purpose of completely eliminating Li Xueqing's influence in the Law Enforcement Hall.

While doing all this, Liang Jin had already prepared for Li Xueqing to come and demand an explanation, and he was always on high alert, ready for another big battle with Li Xueqing.

But to his surprise, Li Xueqing did not show up until the end.

It seems that Elder Li is quite patient today.

Liang Jin knew clearly that Li Xueqing would never give up and she must be secretly planning a new counterattack.

However, by the time she had planned everything, her prestige in the entire sect would probably have disappeared, and no disciple would dare to work for her easily.

Liang Jin's rectification of the Law Enforcement Hall lasted until the afternoon before it was declared over.

After completing all this, Liang Jin returned to his residence, rested for a while, and waited patiently for dark.

At the same time, today's information has been refreshed on his system panel.

[Complete sect missions today: 3]

[Amount of information available: 3]

[Intelligence 1: Ding Qi, the former deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall, harbors resentment towards you because you dismissed him and expelled him from the Hall. Although he dares not express his resentment now due to your power, he will definitely strike back fiercely if he finds the opportunity in the future.]

[Intelligence 2: Zhuying, one of the Four Great Constables of the Six Gates, has completed a secret meeting with Zou Cifeng, the owner of Xiafei Villa. They have privately agreed that if they discover your whereabouts, they will kidnap you in order to obtain core intelligence about the Hualong Gate from you.]

[Intelligence 3: San Yazi, a young beggar from Jishitang, showed exceptional talent for martial arts and was noticed by Wu Meng, the eldest daughter of the Wu family, a martial arts family in Dongzhou. She took him in as her apprentice and gave him the name "Wu Shuang." From then on, he escaped the hardship of living off others.]
