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

Lianyun Mountains.

At this time, the officials and soldiers dispatched by the imperial court to maintain order here were also gradually withdrawing.

Although they were fighting fiercely both inside and out.

But it didn't have much impact on the imperial court.

All the money that was due was collected.

Of course, they were also responsible for collecting some of the corpses.

If some bodies are returned, people will still give money.

For example, the Mu family.

The city guards of Jinyuan City are in charge of this area.

They are directly under the jurisdiction and command of the city lord's mansion.

The leader was a deputy commander of the city guard.

His name is Song Hu.

"Hurry up, everyone hurry up!"

"Damn it, I've been cleaning all day, and it's still not finished!"

Song Hu shouted to his soldiers.

Some tents, barricades, weapons, supplies and the like all had to be dismantled and loaded onto vehicles. They were also responsible for the final search to ensure that nothing was missed.

Just as Song Hu was directing and coordinating on site.

Suddenly.

Three figures descended from the sky.

They rushed over in a hurry.

They also exuded a powerful aura.

"Who are you people!?"

When Song Hu saw the person who had arrived, he immediately frowned.

"General, I am Yuan Xiaolin of the Qinghe Sword Sect."

One of them stepped forward.

He also displayed an identity token in his hand.

The inscription above is that of the Vice Sect Master of Qinghe Sword Sect.

Yuan Xiaolin, Vice Sect Master of Qinghe Sword Sect!

This is a very important person.

Song Hu was startled and also very puzzled by Yuan Xiaolin's arrival.

"So it's Sect Leader Yuan. The Lianyun Mountains have already been sealed off. What brings you here at this time?"

The Qinghe Sword Sect was officially recognized by the imperial court and is a legitimate sect.

It wasn't exactly an adversarial relationship with the imperial court.

In some matters, unless there's a complete falling out, one should still give the other party some face out of respect for their cultivation level.

The Yuan Xiaolin standing before them was not only the vice sect leader of the Qinghe Sword Sect.

He is also a third-grade high-level warrior!

Such powerful cultivation would command respect from others anywhere.

"It's closed... Is that so? Several people from our Qinghe Sword Sect have also come. I wonder if the general has seen them?"

As Yuan Xiaolin spoke, he also handed Song Hu a silver note worth one hundred taels.

When Song Hu saw the silver note in his hand, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He put the silver note away and folded it into his pocket.

"I haven't seen them. Everyone left long ago yesterday."

"Today we are the ones clearing the stage."

As Song Hu spoke, he also gestured to the surroundings.

"Even some of the wounded had been taken away earlier."

They've all left?

Yuan Xiaolin and the other two exchanged glances.

There was a bad feeling in their eyes.

They had already visited the Mu family before they arrived.

However, the Mu family also said that most of the people they sent out had not returned, and the Mu family members were on their way, obviously wanting to see what was going on.

Yuan Xiaolin and his group arrived here first.

"That is..."

Yuan Xiaolin saw not far away, rows of corpses being moved onto vehicles.

"Oh, those are all corpses of people who know the secrets of the sect. Our court has collected taxes, so naturally we have to do something about it. We'll send them over when we return to the city."

Song Hu said.

"May I investigate?"

Yuan Xiaolin asked.

His younger brother, Yuan Fei, has been unreachable.

Logically, they should have received the news immediately after leaving, but a whole day has passed and everyone has gone back. However, the people from Qinghe Sword Sect seem to have vanished.

This made the people of the Qinghe Sword Sect restless.

You should know that this time, three black-clad deacons and a young sect leader have come!

Three third-rank martial artists and one second-rank high-level martial artist.

If even a force like this can't escape from the Lianyun Mountains, then there shouldn't be any survivors.

"Go ahead, but don't disturb the bodies, and do it as quickly as possible."

Song Hu frowned.

Although this will delay the progress of returning to the city.

But I'll let it go for the sake of the hundred taels; it's a real hundred taels of silver in my hands.

Yuan Xiaolin and his two companions immediately began searching through the pile of corpses.

But faces flashed by.

They never saw the face he wanted to see.

Of course, Yuan Xiaolin probably knew that Yuan Fei and the others were probably not dead, so it was impossible for them to be here. He was just testing the waters.

"etc……"

"Find those two corpses..."

After searching in vain, Yuan Xiaolin and the others were about to leave when Yuan Xiaolin suddenly seemed to remember something. He pointed forward, and the two stewards behind him immediately stepped forward and turned over the two corpses in that direction.

They didn't recognize either of the two men, and the two stewards were also curious as to why Yuan Xiaolin wanted to find their bodies.

Yuan Xiaolin stepped forward and examined the body.

His eyes suddenly turned sinister and terrifying.

"I knew it!"

"It's a sword strike!"

"These two were killed by Shen Nian!"

Sword thrust forward!

Sword Rush Finger is a martial art of their Qinghe Sword Sect.

Furthermore, because everyone's fingers and habits are different, the marks left by the sword strike are not all the same.

Outsiders might not be able to tell, but experts can recognize it at a glance.

"Were these two killed by Deacon Shen Nian?"

The two who realized what was happening gasped in shock. If that was the case, then it meant that the deaths of these two people were related to their disappearance!

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Just as the three were analyzing the situation...

But then they saw a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes, leading several experts, rushing over quickly.

This person is none other than the head of the Mu family.

Mu Yuanhong.

It was Lu Xuan who killed Mu Yuanji's elder brother.

He was also the eldest brother of Madam Huang.

Mu Yuanhong strode over, accompanied by several elders of the Mu family.

"Well, gentlemen, have you found any leads?"

Mu Yuanhong quickly stepped forward and asked.

Not only did the people from the Qinghe Sword Sect not return.

Many members of the Mu family did not return; it seems that almost everyone above the second rank has died.

How did things get like this?

It was just a small exploration of a blessed land, yet it caused such a huge uproar.

If all these people were to die, it would be a huge blow to the Mu family.

Not to mention some of the experts from the Black Blood Hall.

Even Mu Jianlong couldn't come back.

"Huh? Isn't that Mu Zhongzheng, and Mu Zhongping?"

When Mu Yuanhong stepped forward, he saw the two corpses on the ground.

His eyes widened in surprise.

Both of them were second-rank experts, and their mission was to do everything in their power to protect the young sect master of the Qinghe Sword Sect.

Although Liu Zhanqing was not popular, his noble status meant that the Mu family had to protect him.

Therefore, Mu Yuanhong specially assigned two people to protect him at all times.

"Oh? This is someone from your Mu family?"

If Mu Yuanhong hadn't told him, Yuan Xiaolin really wouldn't have known.

Upon learning the identities of the two individuals, Yuan Xiaolin and his two companions immediately turned cold, their invisible killing intent locking onto Mu Yuanhong and the others.

Although Yuan Xiaolin was unaware of what had happened.

But it is highly likely.

Shen Nian is conveying a certain message through this method.

"Sect Leader Yuan, what do you mean by this?"

Mu Yuanhong frowned, and several elders and protectors around him stepped forward to shield him behind them.

But Mu Yuanhong waved his hand, signaling everyone to step back.

Even if everyone present combined, they wouldn't be a match for Yuan Xiaolin and the others.

"Mu Yuanhong, stop pretending."

"Where are the people of my Qinghe Sword Sect?!"

"These two were killed by Shen Nian with a sword thrust! The evidence is irrefutable."

"If your Mu family doesn't explain this matter clearly, then your Mu family has no reason to exist."

Yuan Xiaolin said in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuanhong's expression changed drastically.

"Sect Leader Yuan, what do you mean by that? My Mu family members were killed by your Qinghe Sword Sect, and you actually expect my Mu family to explain yourself?!"

This is utterly absurd.

The Mu family members have not been found yet. Now that two bodies have finally been found, they were killed by the Qinghe Sword Sect.

Not only that, the Qinghe Sword Sect also came to the Mu family demanding an explanation.

Although the Mu family is not a super martial arts family and cannot compete with the Qinghe Sword Sect, they are by no means at the mercy of others.

After all, the Mu family now controls a considerable amount of resources.

Although there is no super strong expert to back them up, the Xuanwu Dynasty is still there to support them, so some things can still be accomplished with ease.

"Heh, you Mu family know perfectly well what you've done."

"Mu Jianlong hasn't shown up yet, he must have been hidden by you."

"Your Mu family is really bold, daring to set your sights on my Qinghe Sword Sect."

"I will take these two bodies back with me."

"Your Mu family must personally go to the sect and speak with the sect leader!"

"If you want the body, go find the sect leader!"

Yuan Xiaolin did not say much to Mu Yuanhong.

After all, even though he was the deputy sect leader, it wasn't appropriate for him to directly target the Mu family.

Without further ado, Yuan Xiaolin took the two corpses away.

Mu Yuanhong was completely bewildered. He didn't even know what had happened; he had just arrived and witnessed this situation.

This also requires time for Mu Yuanhong to process.

"What on earth is going on...?"

Mu Yuanhong gritted his teeth inwardly.

"Let's see if there are any more corpses of my Mu family members."

The group searched for a while but couldn't find it.

"We'll talk about it when we get back!"

Mu Yuanhong's face darkened.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he led everyone back.

After both groups dispersed, Song Hu urged everyone to quickly pack up and head home.

As expected, Song Hu watched the two families and a dispute broke out.

He secretly marveled, thinking to himself, "Truly worthy of being called Lord Xiao, he is indeed incredibly insightful."

The corpse was indeed taken away by the people from the Qinghe Sword Sect.

When Xiao Yunshan and the others came out.

So I made a special inquiry.

They discovered that none of the Qinghe Sword Sect members had come out.

Xiao Yunshan immediately came up with a plan: handing the corpse directly over to the Qinghe Sword Sect members would seem to be more effective.

As for Shen Nian and the others.

Xiao Yunshan was also very curious.

Why didn't these people come out of the Lianyun Mountains?

Of course, it would be best if we never got out of it.

This incident will inevitably create a rift between the Mu family and the Qinghe Sword Sect!

Wuling County.

Zihu Mountain Villa.

Lu Xuan brought some spiritual fruits for the girls.

These fruits not only help with cultivation, but also make the skin smoother and more supple, achieving a nourishing and beautifying effect.

Naturally, Ye Luoxin was also included.

Ye Luoxin was initially hesitant to accept it, but Lu Xuan forced her to do so.

"Huh? Instructor Ye has broken through to the second rank? Congratulations!"

Lu Xuan gave Ye Luoxin some pointers last time.

This allowed Ye Luoxin to break through her sword intent realm.

Now, however, it is sensed that Ye Luoxin's true energy is vast and powerful, clearly indicating that she has broken through to the second rank.

"Yes, thanks to the pills the master gave me."

Ye Luoxin nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude towards Lu Xuan.

"What's so surprising? Many people take pills but still don't have a chance to break through. This is due to your own talent."

Lu Xuan waved his hand.

"Since Instructor Ye has broken through to the second rank."

"Then the tutoring fee can't be calculated the same as before... How about this, it will be one thousand taels per month from now on, plus one second-grade pill."

Ye Luoxin herself served as both an instructor and a bodyguard.

There were already 300 taels a month before.

It is reasonable to increase it to one thousand taels now.

Even this price is far from enough for a second-grade martial artist.

But Lu Xuan added a second-grade pill!

For a second-rank martial artist, that would be an irresistible attraction.

Because second-grade pills are very popular, sometimes even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them if you don't have the connections.

In addition, Lu Xuan's second-grade pills guarantee an extremely high quality.

Ye Luoxin had personally experienced this.

Therefore, such conditions are extremely rare and hard to come by.

"This treatment is too good..."

A hint of excitement also appeared on Ye Luoxin's delicate and composed face.

"Between you and me, there's no need for formalities. It's settled then."

Lu Xuan chuckled.

Ye Luoxin was extremely grateful.

After all, it was Lu Xuan who brought up the matter of adding money himself. When have you ever seen such a good employer?

Of course, with Ye Luoxin's current second-grade cultivation level, she is indeed worth the price.

But Ye Luoxin knew the truth in her heart.

The reason I was able to break through to the second rank so quickly was precisely because of Master Lu's help.

Lu Xuan returned to his training room.

I rested all day.

After all, Lu Xuan still had a lot to enjoy from last night's fierce battle.

Only now can I calm down.

I started organizing my gains.

Lu Xuan also hoped to find some cultivation techniques or martial arts skills from this.

Some advanced martial arts techniques are monopolized by aristocratic families and sects and are not easily passed on to outsiders.

If you want it, it's usually only available at high-end auctions.

"These things, they belong to the Qinghe Sword Sect, right?"

"Hmm? Great River Sword Qi? This martial art sounds quite impressive..."

Immediately, Lu Xuan opened a sword technique manual called Great River Sword Qi.

If I remember correctly, what's in this bag should belong to the young sect leader.

"Wow, it's actually a low-level (Earth Rank) sword technique!"
