One Dao Fruit a day, starting with the Dragon Taming Technique.

at home.

Xu Guang held the black sword, gripped the hilt, and gently pulled it out.

The moonlight was bleak, and the black sword was sharp.

The sword shadow multiplied into three, and in addition to its majestic and terrifying sharpness, a bloodthirsty aura carrying a demonic connotation emerged—the power inherent in the black sword itself.

This black sword, seized from the Bull King, is extraordinary. Besides being indestructible and capable of cutting through stone like paper, it also possesses a malevolent aura, much like a legendary demonic sword, capable of influencing its master's mind.

A dragon roared from within his body, and the black sword emitted a crisp sound without being moved. The bloodthirsty aura on it completely subsided, as if returning to its original state.

As Xu Guang's internal energy and blood surged, the entire sword appeared increasingly profound in his eyes, as dark as a black hole.

"What a fine sword!"

Even though he had handled the black sword countless times during this period, Xu Guang was still satisfied with it.

"The sword is just a bit too long; anyone can tell it's a fine sword at a glance, making it difficult to use as a getaway swindler."

Someone wielding a soft sword can strike unexpectedly, turning anyone within half a foot into an enemy.

It's much harder to do that with a black sword. Xu Guang recalled the image of him taking out a black sword from his crotch while talking to his opponent, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

However, it doesn't matter if he can't use underhanded tactics. His cultivation level is improving quickly, and he doesn't need to learn from those old-timers. Hiding his cultivation level is definitely much more cunning than hiding his weapons.

early morning.

Xu Guang stretched in the courtyard and asked the waiter in front of him to buy him some food.

"Master Xu, still thirty eggs and thirty steamed buns?"

Xu Guang nodded with a smile.

The man took the money and ran out.

He was just wondering what level of martial artist his master was. He was also a local of Shuocheng, and his neighbor was also a martial artist who practiced at the martial arts school. He ate quite a lot, and one meal of his was equivalent to two meals of his.

But compared to Xu Guang's appetite, he was like a child.

Xu Guang watched the vendor leave, then took out the leftover food from the house and fed it to the dogs in the corner.

The dogs were all found by Du Zhong through his connections. They were large, but when they saw Xu Guang coming, they obediently lay down and wagged their tails.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xu Guang burned incense and knelt in the hall to begin today's divination using the Guiyao hexagram.

Today he is calculating the whereabouts and fortune of Wu Daoren.

He had a feeling that the first thing Wu Daoren would do after emerging from seclusion was to deal with him, and he needed to determine how long Wu Daoren would remain in seclusion.

Fortunately, according to the divination, Wu Daoren showed no signs of making a breakthrough for at least half a month.

It seems that combining the nine talismans into one is very difficult.

They were just waiting for news from Wu Qi about when Madam Lu would come down the mountain.

……

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Guang and his men remained by Shuohu Lake, but everyone seemed to think that finding the murderer was already difficult, so the search efforts were reduced considerably.

However, the Li family members are still around, and they seem determined to achieve their goal.

Xu Guang noticed one of the people, the middle-aged man who had made eye contact with him that day. The reason was simple: this man had been secretly observing him from time to time over the past few days.

It seemed as if they had a great interest in him.

Xu Guang initially thought the other party was paying more attention to him because of Li Qian and Du Zhong, but as the other party stared at him more often, Xu Guang vaguely realized that the other party seemed to have other purposes.

With this in mind, he made up his mind that if the other party continued to observe him secretly today, he would not hesitate to be impolite.

To his surprise, the man did not come today.

Xu Guang inquired with the Li family and learned that the other party was a retainer of the Li family, and the eldest son of the Li family respected him greatly.

This gave Xu Guang a strange feeling.

In the afternoon, Xu Guang went to the Du family. Because of the snake demon's appearance, he was also a little worried about the Du family. Fortunately, the two families did not live far apart, and he would come over from time to time to check. He mainly used his snake sense and divine sense to check if there were any demons or other powerful beings around.

In the dark alley, Xu Guang walked at a moderate pace. Several night patrolmen from the constables approached him, escorting a few young men.

They caused trouble while drinking at night.

Upon seeing Xu Guang, he greeted him respectfully, and Xu Guang nodded without asking any questions.

As Xu Guang walked out of the alley, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

For some reason, he felt that the atmosphere in the city was starting to become oppressive.

Remembering Han Yuehui's words again, Sun Ganxuan sold Shuocheng to the Tiger King of Shuoyun Mountain.

Selling out a city is not a simple matter.

There are many powerful martial artists inside and outside Shuocheng, and the government troops are stationed there. In addition, Sun Yinglong and Sun Ganxuan are at odds, so they must also have their own forces. If the Tiger King does not come down the mountain, Xu Guang thinks that at least twenty or more fifty-year-old demons would have a chance.

After thinking it over, he returned to the Du family home.

He planned to reveal part of the story of Sun Ganxuan betraying Shuocheng to Du Zhong.

He is not a savior, and his current strength is insufficient to fight against the demons of the entire Shuofang Prefecture.

Faced with imminent disaster, all he could do was protect his family.

"But where are Dad and Xu Cheng?"

A few days ago, he used divination to find out where the two were. Unfortunately, the Guiyao divination method is not top-notch in terms of predicting people, and he could only get some very vague clues.

However, based on the current clues, Xu Cheng has most likely been to Shuoyun Mountain. The lesser demons in the mountain may not know, but those fifty-year-old demons should have some impression of Xu Cheng.

Thinking of this, he recalled Wu Qi's mention of Madam Lu hosting a banquet.

He had only intended to infiltrate the banquet and kill the demons present, but he had not considered the purpose of Lady Lu's banquet.

Madam Lu holds a high position in the Shuoyun Mountain Taoist temple, and it's possible she knows some clues about Xu Cheng.

Since the old man disappeared while trying to save Xu Cheng, finding Xu Cheng might lead to finding the old man.

He had originally planned to attend Madam Lu's banquet, but now that he had the purpose of finding his relatives, he had no choice but to attend.

If I can defeat the demons at Madam Lu's banquet, and break through to level 6 in the Silver Dragon Skill, I will be considered a rare master in the martial arts world. With the addition of the Dragon Taming Technique, even if Shuocheng is a den of dragons and tigers, I can still lead some people out of the encirclement with my martial arts skills alone.

The following morning, Wu Qi finally sent word.

Lady Deer has finally come down the mountain!

Finally, it's here.

However, with Lady Deer's estate destroyed, it is unknown where her banquet will be held.

……

In the mountains.

In the dense forest, several dark figures slowly emerged from the trees, each with coral-like antlers on their heads.

It was a deer demon that had just come down from the mountain.

Mrs. Deer looked at her manor with a grim expression.

Soon, a person emerged from the woods.

Madam Lu recognized the person as a member of the Wang family, her business partners in the city.

"What happened?"

The man dared not raise his head, knelt on one knee, and whispered what he knew.

The fact that the government troops raided Madam Lu's manor was not exactly a secret, given that a considerable number of government troops were present that day.

"Xu Guang?"
