Transforming the false into the true, I am the only one in the world who possesses the true Dharma.

After addressing him as Master Xu, the managers hurriedly left.

Something big happened tonight.

Not only did Blackwater Street welcome a new master, but the manager of Fire Cloud Street also died.

The situation has changed, affecting every street; they need to go back and think about what to do next.

Soon, only Xu Yan and Yu Yingyue remained in the room.

Yu Yingyue's gaze was cold as she took out a wooden box from the drawer beside her.

The wooden box was about the size of two hands that could be wrapped around its neck, and it had a lock on it.

Yu Yingyue opened the wooden box in front of Xu Yan.

Inside the box were five ancient books, their covers slightly worn.

Yu Yingyue pointed at the five ancient books and said coldly, "The mental cultivation method and the Rock-Solid Body Protection Technique are what you deserve. You can choose one of the other three techniques to take."

Xu Yan nodded slightly, first putting away the Rock-Solid Body Protection Technique and the mental cultivation method, before looking at the other three cultivation methods.

As for the name of the cultivation method, he didn't look into it; he would have time to find out when he got back.

The three techniques are sword techniques, fist techniques, and leg techniques, all of which are techniques for those who have reached the Transcendent Realm.

The sword technique is the one used by Wang Fu, and the fist technique is called Tiangang Fist, which uses true qi to transform into qi, allowing one to fight enemies in mid-air.

The leg technique is called the Sandstorm Leg. When used, it can transform true energy into a whirlwind.

This technique is geared towards speed, but it is somewhat lacking in offensive capabilities.

Xu Yan pondered for a moment, then picked up the sandstorm leggings and put them in his pocket.

He currently possesses the Qingfeng Sword Technique and the Corrupting Bone Palm for offensive attacks, and the Vajra Dry Zen Skill for self-defense. What he lacks is a leg technique that excels in speed.

Seeing that Xu Yan had made his choice, Yu Yingyue continued, "The street under your jurisdiction is currently lacking a chief. You can promote him yourself and bestow upon him the mental cultivation method and the Rock-Solid Body Protection Technique, but you cannot do more than that."

Xu Yan nodded again, indicating that he understood.

Yu Yingyue pondered for a moment and said, "You are just a small leader and know very little. There are dozens of streets in Qingyang County, and the managers are not all at the Transcendent Realm. There are even managers at the Five Elements Realm. You must not act impulsively in the future."

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow slightly: "There are also those at the Five Elements Realm?"

When he was talking to Huang Yuxian, he said that the manager was only at the Transcendent Realm. Now it seems that the original owner's status was too low, his exposure to too few levels was too limited, and his knowledge was too shallow.

However, upon closer reflection, it's not surprising that a manager from the Transcendent Realm was sent this time.

The Dust and Sand Gang wants its subordinates promoted to managers, not to kill them.

If a manager at the Five Elements Realm were sent here, it would likely not be a promotion, but a massacre.

Xu Yan clasped his hands in farewell and said, "Farewell."

With the matter settled, he received another forty-two taels of silver and planned to go back first.

Yu Yingyue stared at Xu Yan's back and said, "The direction you went is towards Huoyun Street."

Xu Yantou, wearing a straw hat, waved his hand and said, "To cut the weeds, you must nip them in the bud. Wang Fu is dead, and his brother has no reason to live either. Do you think I'd wait for him to take revenge on me?"

Yu Yingyue parted her red lips, watched Xu Yan leave, and then shook her head slightly.

"What a strange person."

……

Huoyun Street.

The muscular young man, his chest bare, opened his mouth and ate the fruit offered by the woman in the red veil, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Beside him stood a dozen or so members of the Dust Sand Gang, all with their heads down, their eyes flashing with excitement.

A woman's body lay on the ground not far away.

The woman was covered in wounds and spitting filth.

The young man stood up, leaning against the woman in the red veil's chest, and revealed a smug smile.

"How does it feel?"

The dozen or so subordinates quickly nodded.

"Boss Wang, that felt good. These respectable women are much more exciting. The way they resist is truly heartbreaking."

Wang Yu laughed heartily: "What's there to be reluctant about? That old woman has a second daughter. But we have to take it slow. After all, I'm not a bad person. I have to have a reason for everything I do."

After saying that, he pointed to one of his men.

"You, take this body back, and give that old woman some money. Remember, keep a close eye on them and don't let them escape Qingyang County. I quite like her second daughter."

The subordinate quickly agreed, wrapped the female corpse in the tattered clothes beside him, and prepared to take her away.

Wang Yu continued to lie on the woman in the red veil, looking completely relaxed.

Just as his men carried the body a couple of steps away, they heard footsteps coming from the doorway.

The subordinate looked up, a layer of white sweat breaking out on his back: "Who are you?!"

Upon hearing this, the other subordinates also realized what was happening and all looked at the newcomer.

When they saw the unfamiliar faces under the straw hats, they all looked puzzled.

At this moment, it was pouring rain. How could a strange person dare to come here? Doesn't he know that this is Boss Wang's territory?

Wang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and casually waved his hand, saying, "Probably a starving refugee. Let him take him back to that old woman. I'm in a good mood today, so I'm sharing the joy with the people!"

Upon hearing this, the rest of his men immediately burst into laughter.

Xu Yan removed his straw hat and glanced at the wounds on the female corpse: "She died right after we captured her?"

The subordinate's smile vanished, and he tossed the man to Xu Yan's feet with a look of disgust: "Stop talking nonsense, take him away now. If I need anything like this again, I'll come to you. After all, someone like you has probably never even seen a woman before."

Xu Yan raised his hand, took off his outer garment, and covered the female corpse with it.

A gentle breeze blew by, and cold rain fell on me, soaking my clothes underneath.

A long sword pierced through the rain, its sword energy blooming like a lotus flower centered on Xu Yan.

The subordinate who spoke first froze, his body covered in dense lines of blood, turning into a pile of minced flesh.

Seeing this, the remaining men prepared to draw their weapons.

But they discovered that blood streaks had also appeared on their bodies.

The sword is fast.

The sword energy was even faster.

Dismembered corpses lay scattered on the ground.

Wang Yu instantly became alert, stone armor rising from his body as he shouted, "How dare you! How dare you act so presumptuously in Fire Cloud Street? Don't you know my brother is in charge?"

Xu Yan took a step forward, his long sword thrusting straight forward, piercing through the stone armor and into Wang Yu's throat.

"Your stone armor is far inferior to Xu Tong's."

"By the way, your brother is already dead, you're the only one left."

Wang Yu clutched his throat, collapsed to the ground, and convulsed continuously.

Blood flowed from his fingertips, but he wouldn't die anytime soon.

Xu Yan stood there with his sword in hand, just watching, his eyes cold as ice.

Wang Yu's expression changed from pain to despair.

He died very slowly, taking the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, until all his blood had drained away and he had endured excruciating pain before finally becoming a corpse.

[Kill Wang Yu, a late-stage Transcendent Realm cultivator, and obtain fifteen taels of silver as a reward.]

[Kill Chen the Scarface, and you'll get a tael of silver for his life.]

[Kill Zhou Dehai, and obtain five coins as a reward for his life.]

……

[Life money: 65 taels]

Xu Yan glanced at the smoke, then looked at the female corpse.

At that moment, the woman's eyes closed, as if she had fulfilled her life's wish.

Xu Yan did not leave; his long sword pointed at the corner of the wall.

"You've been looking at this for so long, don't you want to say anything?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a figure slowly emerged from the corner of the wall.
