Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 91 Star Guiding Technique: No Retreat

Chapter 91 Star Guiding Technique: No Retreat
"Yuanfang, what do you think?"

Shen Liancheng stood with his hands behind his back by the window, while behind him, bowing slightly, stood a middle-aged man of about thirty-five or thirty-six with an honest and kind face.

He is Xie Yuanfang, the eldest disciple of the Jin Yutang school.

However, this eldest disciple looked rather mature, and when he stood next to Shen Liancheng, it was hard to tell who looked older at first glance.

In particular, the large bow on his back and the quiver at his waist were quite different from the usual attire of the Jin Yutang disciples, clearly indicating that he had not received the true teachings of the Fulong Sword.

Xie Yuanfang looked slightly puzzled: "This disciple has been able to roughly confirm that the mad swordsman who went on a killing spree in the city that day was none other than Lu Wubing, the newly initiated disciple of Tianxing Peak."

Now, however, one cannot say for sure... nor is it known whether the Lu family has something else to hide? Perhaps, this is a deceptive scheme orchestrated by Lu Changhe himself.

"Haha, Yuanfang, you've been fooled by that kid too. True heroes emerge in turbulent times. The more turbulent the situation, the more Lu Wubing's abilities are revealed..."

"Master means?"

"You don't need to doubt the accuracy of the information, nor do you need to dig deep into its source. Just know that Lu Wubing is the Mad Swordsman himself. I'm asking you, what are your thoughts on the battle at Goat's Pass?"

Shen Liancheng was so curious that he felt like he was being scratched by a hundred fingers.

He actually found it hard to understand how Lu Wubing, with his abilities, could kill Gu Dongting, the leader of the East Sea Sword Sect.
He had personally witnessed the skills of that Master Gu during the battle at the city gate that day.

Even if you face him one-on-one, you might not necessarily gain the upper hand.

At the city gate, although Senior Sister Qin personally injured her opponent and even delivered a finishing blow, such a person with superb internal strength and superb swordsmanship was extremely dangerous, even in the face of death, as long as they had a breath left.

How exactly did Lu Wubing manage to kill him?
“A tiger trap was dug in the mountain hollow, and an eagle-catching net was set up in mid-air. It can be seen that he had already set up a killing trap before Gu Dongting arrived.”

Xie Yuanfang was very meticulous in his work. When he talked about the information he had found, he knew it like the back of his hand and described the details one by one.

"Besides Gu Dongting, there was also the corpse of Wu Zhongxiong, the seventh of the Seven Swords of the East Sea. This disciple of the East Sea had many marks of torture on his body, so he was probably used as bait."

Gu Dongting's fatal wound was a sword piercing his heart; a single blow to the heart, killing him instantly. Suspiciously, there was a needle mark on the back of his head, three-tenths of an inch deep in the flesh, with traces of blood flowing out, which didn't seem like it was done after death…”

"I knew it. That kid alone couldn't have killed the East Sea Sect Leader no matter what. There must have been another expert who got close to Gu Dongting from behind, and the weapon he used was a long needle."

Shen Liancheng exchanged a glance with his eldest disciple as he finished speaking.

Both of them were filled with caution, and at the same time, they thought of one person.

As the saying goes, "Brothers fight tigers together, fathers and sons go to war side by side..."

There was another person who was skilled with needles and was willing to fight to the death with the leader of the East Sea Sword Sect.

That man was known as "Divine Needle and Peerless Sword".

Careless.

"You acted so well! I never realized that Doctor Lu was so skilled."

Shen Liancheng sighed.

Just when he thought he had figured out the Lu family's background and understood everyone's cultivation level, his next-door neighbor would give him a new surprise.

Tell him, no, your eyesight is really bad.

Besides the fact that Lu Changfeng was also a master who could sneak up on Gu Dongting and launch a surprise attack, and even succeed, he couldn't think of any other explanation.

It's impossible for that kid Lu Wubing to be able to fight Gu Dongting head-on with his sword while also mastering the art of creating clones to sneak up behind him and give him a needle.

If he truly possessed such skill, he wouldn't have suffered such a blow at the city gate, where Gu Dongting broke his arm and caused him to vomit blood.

"The gift thing?"

"Since it's from my good nephew, let's accept it. There's plenty of time in the future, and we might need to rely on him a lot in the future. Prepare the gifts, and tomorrow I'll personally go to the Lu residence to have a good drink with Doctor Lu."

"Yes."

Xie Yuanfang quickly wrote it down and said he would go prepare the gift later.

"Remember to prepare plenty of precious medicinal herbs, and a little bit of gold and silver, but people don't care about them."

Shen Liancheng reiterated his advice. Since the decision has been made to provide full support, it would be better to curry favor, forming an alliance between the two companies to advance and retreat together.

Whether this generous gift delivered to their door is seen as protection money or an alliance fee, it's best left unsaid to both parties.

"Where is Wan Jian? Still refusing to come back?"

"Junior Brother has decided to follow Grandmaster Fang to cultivate the [Star Guiding Technique], saying it's to prepare for the Three Sects Grand Competition and make a final stand." Xie Yuanfang said, a hint of worry appearing on his face.

Even during the heyday of the Heavenly Star Sect, there were very few practitioners of the [Star Guiding Technique].

Aside from martial arts fanatics or unfortunate individuals with no ties to their lives, what normal person would practice such a dangerous technique? Even if one doesn't suffer a severe loss of cultivation due to qi deviation, it will still cause irreversible damage to the body.

Anyway, it's a very mysterious and forbidden technique.

However, once one truly succeeds in cultivation, the dramatic increase in combat power is astonishing.

"Wan Jian must have his reasons for doing this. Let him be, sigh..."

Shen Liancheng sighed, his face full of exhaustion, and under the light, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were even more pronounced.

Others might not know why that seemingly carefree and silly boy was working so hard to cultivate, but he did.

The father couldn't muster the courage... All sorts of responsibilities and obligations were like heavy shackles, preventing him from being free.

But children can.

"Send a message to Sanlang, telling him to hold back and not to launch an attack. Before the main force of the Golden Scale Guard arrives in Mingyang, he must not make a move."

"Also, tell Goro to try to get along well with the county magistrate and the registrar, and to obey orders unless they are particularly difficult to accept..."

"Yes, Fifth Junior Brother is meticulous. Now, within the three classes, most of the former prefect's cronies have been eliminated, and there is no one to hinder him... I just don't know what kind of person his successor will be."

"No matter who comes or what their temperament is, we still need people."

Shen Liancheng shook his head.

They've been operating in Mingyang City for so many years.

【Jin Yu Tang】is not just a mere martial arts sect.

If it's just on your own little plot of land, you can't let others take advantage of you.

Then he doesn't need to do anything anymore; he might as well retire and return to his hometown, a small fishing village by the sea.

Catch a few fish, warm a pot of wine, and don't care what day it is.

……

"Senior Sister Xiaolan, it's you?"

When Lu Wubing heard the knocking on the door, he thought it must be Senior Sister Wenjing coming as promised to help him practice his skills.

When he opened the door, he didn't see the burly senior sister who was a head taller than him.

Instead, I saw Senior Sister Xiaolan, who had a graceful figure, as delicate as a willow in the breeze.
