Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

The 100 children that Wang Zhenyuan found for him ranged in age from eight to twelve.

They are of average talent and not particularly quick-witted. If they want to become masters, they need at least ten years of hard work.

Those who are exceptionally intelligent and have excellent aptitude have long been accepted as disciples by various sects or have already joined the Beggars' Sect.

As the largest gang in the Song Dynasty, the Beggars' Clan has hundreds of thousands of members, with informants all over the north and south, and extremely well-informed.

When the mood strikes, he will deduce the subsequent changes of a certain martial art or integrate several mental techniques.

Zhong Guohong had no intention of interfering in the assassination attempt on the Western Xia Marshal by Ma Dayuan and Elder Chen of the Beggars' Sect.

The original plot of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" has been quietly altered due to his involvement.

After Duan Yu fell off the cliff, he did not see the stone statue of Li Canghai, so he naturally had no chance to be taught the "Northern Darkness Divine Skill" and the "Lingbo Steps".

Without the "fairy sister" he longed for, it's hard to predict what will become of Duan Yu.

With Wu Yazi fully recovered from his injuries and Ding Chunqiu executed, the "Precious Chess Game" was left unmanaged, and Wu Yazi would never pass on his life's work to Xu Zhu.

Wang Yuyan, Azhu, Abi, Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling, and Mei Lanzhuju all closed their doors to visitors; all the people from the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands under the jurisdiction of Lingjiu Palace had been transferred to the front line.

Each faction that kills a thousand enemies will have their life-or-death talisman removed.

Good people were already few among the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands. Sending them to fight against the Western Xia soldiers was also a way of fulfilling the duty of the Song Dynasty to defend its territory.

As for who lived and who died in the process, Chung Kwok-hung had neither the time nor the inclination to investigate.

When the Western Xia soldiers slaughtered our people, he raced against time and ordered only the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands to take action.

All the former servants of Mandala Manor have received their full severance pay and returned to their hometowns.

Nowadays, all the maids in the manor come from Lingjiu Palace.

The Xiaoyao Sect has always valued appearance when selecting disciples, and the disciples of Lingjiu Palace are all outstanding in appearance.

Zhong Guohong, surrounded by beauties, would occasionally choose a Lingjiu Palace disciple to take as a concubine.

As he reached the pinnacle of the Nine Yang Divine Skill and his strength soared, he also felt an even greater responsibility on his shoulders.

The saying "the capable should do more" is not just empty talk—he has the will, the ability, and the responsibility.

That morning, Chung Kwok-hung left Mandala Villa again.

"The Four Villains indiscriminately slaughtered innocent people, and Ye Erniang cruelly harmed young children..."

Upon entering Western Xia territory, after some investigation, he quickly found traces of the Four Evils.

Duan Yanqing was infamous; with a flash of Zhong Guohong's blade, his head fell to the ground.

Yue Canglong charged forward with a fierce look on his face, the blade slicing across his throat, killing him instantly.

Zhong Guohong remained silent throughout, his body swaying slightly as his fingertips struck major acupoints on Ye Erniang's body.

Yun Zhonghe possessed superb lightness skills. After leaping more than ten steps, he felt a numbness in the back of his neck, his legs suddenly stiffened, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

Zhong Guohong kicked him, sending him flying right in front of Ye Erniang. The knife flashed, flesh tore open, and blood splattered onto the tree trunk.

Yun Zhonghe convulsed and roared in excruciating pain, his face contorted, and finally his pupils dilated before he died.

Ye Erniang could not escape this calamity either; after being cut into a thousand pieces, her body lay on the ground.

He sheathed his sword, then swung it backhand, carving a few lines of text on the trunk of the old locust tree beside him:

"The one who killed the Four Evils was the Sword King Zhong Guohong." The strokes were strong and powerful, penetrating even the wood grain.

"Kang Min, wife of Ma Dayuan, wife of the deputy leader of the Beggars' Clan—with her hair adorned with gold hairpins and her body wrapped in brocade, her appearance and figure were truly exceptional. It's just a pity that her heart was like a poisonous vine and her nature like quicksand."

In the distance, Ma Dayuan and Kang Min stood side by side. Zhong Guohong glanced at them but did not stop, nor did he intend to get acquainted with them.

Duan Zhengchun was a descendant of the Dali royal family. Zhong Guohong disliked his fickleness but had no choice but to acknowledge his abilities.

This man is a man who starts relationships and then abandons them, and whose behavior is despicable. Yet, he manages to win the hearts of six stunningly beautiful women—Dao Baifeng, Li Qingluo, Gan Baobao, Qin Hongmian, Ruan Xingzhu, and Kang Min—either for many years or never forgetting them.

Even though Gan Baobao was abandoned for many years, Qin Hongmian lived in seclusion in the deep mountains, and Ruan Xingzhu raised her young daughter alone, a glimmer of light still remained in her heart, shining on that figure.

"If I didn't have the Yin-Yang True Scripture to keep the inner quarters in check, the women in my household would probably have lost their minds long ago."

The moment the thought arose, he cut off his distracting thoughts, exerted force with his feet, and his body shot out like an arrow.

Suzhou Prefecture was the final destination of his journey.

This trip out of the village is solely for the purpose of eliminating the four villains and, incidentally, making a name for oneself.

The perfumes, soaps, and Hero Wines of Mandala Manor are selling like hotcakes.

The number of forces eyeing this lucrative opportunity is increasing daily.

Even the current emperor, Zhao Xu, had privately inquired about Zhong Guohong's business accounts.

Fewer than a hundred people actually witnessed him walking on the waves.

Human nature is unpredictable; even if someone witnesses something firsthand, they may not believe it to be true.

Some people are convinced that by spending a few hundred taels of silver to hire a few actors to perform a "Lingbo Xudu" (a type of martial arts performance), and spreading some rumors, even a fake can be made to look real.

But when news spread that "Chung Kwok-hung had killed four notorious villains," those with wicked intentions would have to think twice.

Despite his disability, Duan Yanqing was not useless; his One-Finger Divine Skill had reached its peak, and his power was only slightly inferior to Qiao Feng's.

Yue Canglong's palm strike could shatter rocks, Yun Zhonghe's movements were ghostly, and Ye Erniang was vicious and ruthless. When the four of them joined forces, they were enough to shake a first-rate sect.

Although Murong Fu was as famous as Qiao Feng and possessed two great martial arts skills, Dou Zhuan Xing Yi and Can He Zhi, his foundation was actually superficial and his reputation exceeded his actual abilities.

Returning to Mandala Manor, Chung Kwok-hung finds peace and tranquility once more—clothes are folded, meals are served, tea is served at the perfect temperature, and incense is constantly replenished.

The sound of metal and jade clashing never ceased, lasting from a few hours to day and night.

Under Zhong Guohong's personal tutelage, Li Qingluo, Wang Yuyan, and even the four maids Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, successively crossed the threshold of the early stage of the Innate Realm.

In his spare time, he would listen to a duet of qin and xiao, and occasionally give Li Canghai and others pointers on martial arts principles and break down their moves.

He devoted the rest of his time to studying, deducing, and refining various martial arts techniques.

The cultivation techniques they obtained were only up to the Nascent Soul stage, which was practically useless in today's world where spiritual energy was depleted.

To ascend to immortality, one must rely on the treasure basin.

He will not take shortcuts for now, but prefers to be a true martial artist for several decades.

The time acceleration zone for replicating Earth is already ready—in an instant, he can once again ascend to the pinnacle of godhood.

In just over ten days, the news of the four villains' capture spread like wildfire across Western Xia, Dali, and the Song Dynasty.

People in the martial arts world were astonished: Zhong Guohong had actually killed all four of these living devils.

The news spread like wildfire, and countless people clapped and cheered.

Duan Yanqing forced loyal officials to their deaths, Yun Zhonghe raped and abducted countless people, Yue Canglong massacred villages and hamlets, and Ye Erniang stole infants and abused children—the number of families destroyed and people killed is countless.

Do unto others, do not impose on others.

Xiao Yuanshan's taking away Ye Erniang's young son was certainly an act of revenge, but it could not conceal his brutality; after all, the child's biological father, Xuan Ci, was the abbot of Shaolin Temple.

Ye Erniang repeatedly abducted other people's young children. Isn't this harming the innocent and slaughtering children?

After dinner that day, Chung Kwok-hung suddenly felt inspired and, stepping on the shimmering water, left Mandala Manor alone.

Since entering the world of Tianlong, he has never set foot in a brothel, and now he wants to see it for himself.

After strolling around the brothel for a while, they then casually boarded several painted boats to listen to music, watch dances, and enjoy the scenery.

"His demeanor is far inferior to that of the women in his family."
