I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 78 Harvest

The arrow flew straight off the bowstring and headed straight for the leader of the pursuing troops.

Upon hearing the sound of something cutting through the air, the leader of the pursuers reacted immediately.

He lay prone on the horse's back as arrows flew over his head.

"As expected of a martial artist at the Inner Abundance Realm, to be able to react like that!"

This was Xu Ning's first mistake.

Whoosh whoosh!

This time, Xu Ning fired three arrows in quick succession.

Pfft pfft pfft!

With three arrows fired simultaneously, the pursuing leader could no longer dodge.

Three arrows shot out from the chest of the pursuing leader, who coughed up blood and fell off his horse.

Although Xu Ning's strength was not yet sufficient to imbue a flying arrow with his own, his power was enough to pierce the body of an Inner Realm martial artist.

Of course, Xu Ning's ability to master archery to this extent is also related to his longbow and sharp arrows.

Xu Ning's bow and arrow was a superior weapon gifted by Qu Dayou. Only martial artists with internal strength could pull the bowstring even slightly.

After shooting the leader of the pursuing soldiers, Xu Ning fired several more arrows, knocking several more men off their horses.

By this time, Xu Ning's quiver was empty, and the people who had scattered and fled had already run far away.

"Fighting and killing enemies with an archery skill is incredibly exhilarating!"

This was the first time Xu Ning had experienced this feeling.

律~

Xu Ning reined in his horse and dismounted.

Looking at the corpses of enemies scattered all over the ground, Xu Ning did not experience much emotional fluctuation.

When they launched their rebellion in Dingyun County, these rebels killed many innocent people.

Xu Ning first walked up to the leader of the pursuers and felt around for a while.

"Identity token?"

Xu Ning took out the waist tag of the pursuer leader.

The waist tag was still in the style of the Black Armor Guard, except that there were three bloody scratches on it.

This signifies their membership in the Shadowblood Faction.

Besides the identity token, Xu Ning explored it further.

This time, he actually found a stack of silver notes on the leader of the pursuers.

Xu Ning roughly counted it and found that there were two thousand taels.

"I wonder where all these silver notes came from."

Xu Ning suspected that it might have been looted from the car left behind by the wealthy businessman he had escorted earlier.

Their pursuit was slower earlier, probably because they were looting the car for things that were easy to carry.

However, now, the silver note belongs to Xu Ning.

The Black Armor Guard also has an internal rule that spoils of war acquired during missions belong to the mission team.

If Xu Ning single-handedly defeats all the enemies, he can obtain all the spoils of war.

After looting the leader of the pursuers, Xu Ning searched the rest of the group.

Subsequently, Xu Ning obtained more than ten waist tokens and also pulled out nearly two thousand taels of silver.

"This boss is really stingy."

The leader of the pursuers had nearly two thousand taels of silver on him, about the same as the other ten men.

With two thousand plus two thousand, Xu Ning now has more than four thousand taels of silver out of thin air, which allows him to replenish a large amount of energy points.

Even with over four thousand taels of spoils, Xu Ning felt that the majority of what the rebels had looted probably wasn't on his person.

For example, jewels and elixirs may have already been taken back to their camp.

Xu Ning stripped one of the men of his outer garment and wrapped up more than a dozen waist tokens inside.

These waist tags can be taken back as proof of one's war merits.

These will serve as evidence for rewards and honors after the battle ends.

"What a pity for these warhorses..."

During the pursuit, the enemy was shot down, and their warhorses scattered and fled.

If it weren't for the distance from Kangyun County, Xu Ning would have even wanted to chase after each horse and send them all back to the county town.

"I never expected that a reconnaissance mission would yield such an unexpected reward..."

Xu Ning's trip can be considered a fruitful one.

"drive!"

Xu Ning rode his horse back to the city.

……

Because he needed to cover the rear, Xu Ning returned to the county town close to evening.

At this moment, at the post station in Fengliu Lane, Tao Qingping and Song Weiyi were both waiting for his return.

After meeting with Tao Qingping, Song Weiyi and others, Xu Ning went almost immediately to the commander's residence and asked the recorder to report his battle achievements.

The next day, Xu Ning found another free moment and used the silver he had earned the day before to buy some spiritual medicine.

With war imminent, the prices of all goods in the city have increased.

Among them, the price of grain rose the most, and the price of medicinal herbs also increased by 50%.

Danger is imminent, and almost all martial artists are using their spare time to intensify their training in order to improve their survival skills.

However, although the price of spiritual medicines has increased, Xu Ning's status as a black-armored guard captain has provided him with many conveniences.

The herbal medicine shop owner sold Xu Ning four thousand taels of spiritual medicine at the price before the price increase.

This batch of spiritual herbs is diverse, but Xu Ning selected those with high cost-effectiveness. These provided Xu Ning with a total of 49 units of energy. Combined with his previous surplus, Xu Ning now has another 52 units of energy.

However, these 52 units of energy are still somewhat insufficient for Xu Ning to advance to the Inner Qi Realm.

According to Xu Ning's previous observations, it would take him 80 units of energy to advance from the Qi Movement Realm to the Inner Qi Realm. Therefore, he would need to accumulate 28 units of energy.

In the past, 28 units of energy would have been a considerable amount, but now, with the Qi Yuan Pill as a subsidy and the spiritual energy crystals expelled by the Thousand Source Worms, accumulating 28 units of energy is not difficult.

After finishing all that, Xu Ning threw himself back into managing the Fengliu Lane garrison.

……

To rule the mansion.

Inside the study, Wei Changqing was talking with his siblings, Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng.

"Third Uncle, has there been any news from Cloud Eagle City?"

Wei Binglin inquired.

Previously, the Black Armor Guards of Yunying City did not send reinforcements after learning about the rebellion in Dingyun County, which is completely illogical.

So Wei Changqing sent a message back to the Wei family by carrier pigeon, asking them to help gather information.

"not yet."

Wei Changqing shook his head.

Only a few days have passed since the message was sent, and the family has yet to reply.

When faced with Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng, Wei Changqing wanted to persuade them to leave early, but both of them refused.

The two even tried to persuade Wei Changqing to go back to his family with them and abandon the mess that Kangyun County was in now.

After all, Wei Changqing left his family to escape his troubles.

But now, they are facing even bigger trouble.

After considering the two men's proposal, Wei Changqing chose to refuse.

He still wanted to wait until the situation in Kangyun County stabilized before returning to his family.

Wei Changqing was not particularly worried about his own safety.

He was a martial artist at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm, the Spiritual Realm. Although his strength was not impressive in Cloud Eagle City, it was considered top-tier here.

After all, not all stationed commanders possess the strength of the Spirit Realm.

With this guarantee, Wei Changqing felt that his safety was not a big problem.

In a rebellion of this level, it is virtually impossible for beings above the mortal realm to appear.

"Third Uncle, if the situation is complicated, let's go and ask Senior Liu for help. With his abilities, he can definitely stabilize the situation here with ease."

Wei Binglin suggested.

Upon hearing this, Wei Changqing waved his hand and said, "We can't do that."

"Although he is a being above the mortal realm, he does not belong to the Origin Sect," Wei Changqing said. "His identity is more like that of a top-tier wandering knight, without any affiliation. It is inconvenient for him to participate in matters of conflict between various forces."

Wei Changqing was stating an objective reality.

Although the Yuansheng Sect is the supreme ruler of Feiyun Prefecture, there are also many independent sects and families under its control, each with its own sphere of influence and rules of survival.

These sects and families never disobey the orders of the Yuansheng Sect unless their bottom line is crossed, but the Yuansheng Sect cannot control them.

A lone traveler like Liu Yijian is like a small sect or clan of his own. Although he is connected with many parties, he rarely gets caught up in the vortex of struggle and competition.

"But given the current situation, how will you handle it, Third Uncle?"

Wei Binglin asked.

Wei Binglin wasn't too concerned about the crisis in Kangyun County, but he and Wei Zicheng were still somewhat worried about their third uncle.

"Let's take it one step at a time..."

Wei Changqing was still quite wary of the Shadow Blood Faction behind the rebellion.

"It's not too late to make detailed plans after we've found out more about their capabilities..."
