I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Body movement techniques are often more expensive than martial arts techniques like fist and palm strikes, which are more lethal.

If this "Spirit Serpent Steps" manual were on the black market, it would fetch at least 150 taels of silver!

Lu Xuan deliberately took a long detour before returning to the Huang family.

Just a quarter of an hour after Lu Xuan left.

A group of people squeezed into the alley where the two corpses were located.

One of them wore a vest made of black iron, showing off his muscular physique, and had a black snake tattoo on his arm. Just standing there, he exuded a strong sense of oppression.

This man is none other than Huo Donglei, the vice leader of the East Snake Gang!

Huo Donglei's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with a fierce light.

"Who did this?!"

Huo Donglei said in a deep voice, his sinister eyes sweeping over his subordinates. The Dongshe Gang's underlings trembled with fear.

"Master Huo... seems to be an old man. Young Master Huo followed him out of Old Xu's shop, and we waited for a long time but they didn't come back, so we came to check. We didn't expect..."

A henchman stepped forward and said tremblingly.

"Damn it! How dare you kill my henchmen on my turf!"

"Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I have to find this old man!"

"I want him to be buried with my brother!"

Huo Donglei roared.

His many underlings also responded respectfully.

At this time, Lu Xuan was unaware that he had been put on a kill order by the East Snake Gang.

Now he is peacefully practicing the two martial arts techniques he has just acquired in the Huang family stable.

Perhaps it's because of the accumulation of knowledge and experience leading to a breakthrough.

He mastered the two low-grade Yellow Rank martial arts techniques in just one night.

Iron Palm!

It is possible to stimulate acupoints on the palms with spiritual energy, making the palms as hard as iron.

Although Lu Xuan's strength is only 500 jin, when he uses the Iron Stone Palm, he can exert at least 800 jin of force!

There's also the Serpent Step, which can increase Lu Xuan's movement speed several times over!

At least for the short term, Lu Xuan felt he could catch up with a fast horse before he was completely exhausted!

"I've only just entered the Body Tempering Realm; I have no idea how strong a true Rank 1 martial artist is!"

Lu Xuan thought to himself, but he was also confident that the arrival of the incense tree would open up a wider world for him.

Lu Xuan's ability to master two martial arts so quickly is also inseparable from the nourishing effects of the Bone Strengthening and Blood Circulation Soup.

Lu Xuan drank four of the ten portions of the bone-strengthening and blood-nourishing soup he had just bought in one night, and also gave one portion to Shen Yue. This stuff has a very good effect on improving the body.

Furthermore, Lu Xuan also discovered that after Shen Yue's physique improved, the spiritual energy fed back by the incense tree increased!

It's just a bone-strengthening and blood-nourishing soup; once Lu Xuan becomes a martial artist, these things will be no problem.

early morning.

Lu Xuan and Shen Yue were cleaning the stables.

Suddenly, Lu Xuan's ears twitched as he heard a group of people seemingly heading towards the stables.

Lu Xuan's heart sank. Could it be that he already knew about Huang Xuyang's matter?

Immediately, Lu Xuan picked up the riding whip beside him. If the truth really came out, with Lu Xuan's current strength, he would still have a certain chance to break out of the Huang family. After all, when Master Huang left, he took all the elite guards of the mansion with him.

Shen Yue also hid behind Lu Xuan.

Soon, a group of people appeared outside the stable.

The First Madam, who was always high and mighty in the Huang family, now wore a somewhat obsequious expression as she followed a woman dressed in black official robes.

In addition, there were also several people dressed in official military uniforms, each of them broad-shouldered and burly, clearly skilled in physical training with abundant qi and blood.

Lu Xuan looked at the woman in black who was at the head of the group. She had a noble and aloof temperament, exquisite features, a slightly upturned nose, and an air of arrogance between her brows.

Beneath the wide skirt, a pair of slender, jade-like legs moved gracefully, instantly drawing the attention of anyone who looked at them.

These people are... the officials of the Fengwu Hall!

Fengwu Hall was the official military institution of the dynasty, specifically responsible for handling major cases committed by civilian martial artists.

"The magistrate said that your Huang family's horses are the best in the city, of the finest quality and the fastest. This time, when we requisition fast horses to pursue the suspect, our Fengwu Hall will not treat your Huang family unfairly."

The woman in black at the head of the group spoke indifferently, without even glancing at the obsequious First Madam beside her.

"Not at all, it is an honor for our Huang family to be able to contribute to Fengwu Hall."

"Old Lu, what are you waiting for? Quickly bring over five of the best horses."

The First Madam shouted at Lu Xuan.

It turned out that an official from Fengwu Hall had come to borrow the horse. Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and then, together with Shen Yue, led the horse to the woman in black from Fengwu Hall.

"Do you own all these horses?"

The woman in black looked satisfied.

The horses in the county government office were all emaciated and pale; they probably couldn't run far before they were too tired to go on. They were no match for the master they were trying to catch.

"Yes, sir, it was raised by this old servant."

Lu Xuan also bowed and said respectfully.

Even the usually arrogant and domineering First Madam was like a timid quail in front of this woman in black from Fengwu Hall, which shows how high the status of the woman in black was.

The woman in black glanced at Lu Xuan for a moment, then her eyes flickered.

"It seems you know a lot about horses, Madam Huang. Could you lend me this person as well?"

"The woman in black asked."

"Lend him? Sir, he's just a useless old groom. We wouldn't dare ruin your business."

The First Madam immediately became anxious. If Lu Xuan ran out and caused any trouble, the entire Huang family would be implicated.

"Um?"

The woman in black frowned and her gaze immediately swept towards the First Madam beside her.

The First Madam immediately realized she had said the wrong thing, and her expression quickly changed as she smiled apologetically.

"Hehe, the entire Huang family is at your beck and call, sir. Lu Xuan, you'll go with Lord Chu. Be smart and don't ruin his plans!"

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of your wife."

The First Madam looked at Lu Xuan and said, her eyes full of warning. She was telling Lu Xuan that if he dared to talk nonsense in front of Lord Chu, she would kill Shen Yue directly.

At this moment, Chu Xiao was surprised to realize that the pretty woman in the stable was actually the old stableman's wife.

Seeing this, Chu Xiao couldn't help but feel a chill towards Lu Xuan. After all, Shen Yue was so young, Lu Xuan must have used some despicable means to keep her alive.

"This old servant understands."

Lu Xuan had no choice but to obey.

However, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel excited, perhaps he would be able to see what kind of strength a true rank-up martial artist really possessed.

Immediately, Lu Xuan also brought a horse, and together with Chu Xiao and the others, they rode straight away from the Huang family's residence.

"This time, we're going to capture the Northern Fiend Blade, Dugu Bei!"

"This person's cultivation has already reached the mid-stage of the first rank, and his swordsmanship is even more fierce and powerful. Everyone, be on your guard!"

"yes!"
