Dog Brother transmigrates into Lin Pingzhi: The Tai Xuan Scripture suppresses all nations

Upon hearing the mention of the Qingcheng Sect, everyone in the escort agency immediately perked up their ears.

Shi Potian craned his neck, looking at the table with great interest.

The speaker was a square-faced man, followed by several idlers who appeared to be members of a local gang.

Seeing that many people in the lobby were looking at him, he immediately became smug and deliberately kept them in suspense, saying:

"The two biggest things happening in the martial arts world recently are, firstly, Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan Sect retiring from the martial arts world."

"All sorts of martial arts figures pass through our Yuanzhou Prefecture and head to Hengshan to offer their congratulations; everyone knows this."

"The second thing is the Qingcheng Sect's attack on the Fuwei Escort Agency! Our Nanchang branch in Jiangxi was completely wiped out by the Qingcheng Sect, and even the agency's premises were burned to the ground!"

"I heard that the other branches of the Fuwei Police Station were also taken over by the Qingcheng Sect disciples. The Fuwei镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) were powerless to fight back and were brutally slaughtered."

"When it comes to ruthlessness, Yu Canghai is the only one who can match him; even my White Dragon Gang can't compare!"

A man nearby, growing impatient, lightly kicked his stool and cursed, "Square-headed idiot, stop your nonsense! Everyone knows this gossip, just tell me how the Qingcheng Sect fell!"

The square-faced man chuckled, picked up his wine glass and swirled it around. A man sitting next to him quickly and tactfully refilled it.

He tilted his head back and downed the drink in one gulp, squinting his eyes and smacking his lips before slowly saying, "I heard this from one of my brothers."

"My brother was helping the Songshan Sect members cross the river when he overheard this. It's a secret tale of the martial world, so listen carefully!"

Upon hearing him mention the Songshan Sect, everyone shuddered. Many idlers quickly sat up straight, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The members of the Fuwei Escort Agency were secretly delighted to hear this, thinking that the news hadn't spread fast enough. It was already common knowledge in Fujian, but it was still considered a secret in Jiangxi.

"Guess what happened when Yu Canghai personally led his men into Fuzhou? The Qingcheng Sect, so domineering, faced the seemingly weak Fuwei Escort Agency."

The idlers learned their lesson and quickly refilled his glass of wine.

The square-faced man slapped the table in satisfaction and exclaimed in amazement:

"As a result, the Qingcheng Sect suffered a crushing defeat! That old scoundrel Yu Canghai was actually beaten to a pulp by the young head镖师 (chief镖师) of the Fuwei Escort Agency in a single move!"

"Just one move! Can you believe it?"

"When I first heard about it, I didn't believe it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone at the Fuwei Escort Agency felt a surge of joy.

Chief镖师 Shi chuckled softly, then gave Chief镖师 Zheng a look; both of them were filled with undisguised smugness.

Such a triumphant event, with news spreading throughout the martial arts world, is more exhilarating than winning ten escort battles in one's own right.

Many martial arts practitioners in the hall were hearing this for the first time, and they immediately erupted in discussion, waving their hands and saying:

"The rumors must be untrue. If a young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of the Fuwei Escort Agency were truly capable, how could so many of their branches have been wiped out by the Qingcheng Sect? There must be more to this story!"

The square-faced man downed another glass of wine in one gulp. As he put down the glass, a mysterious look appeared on his face, and he leaned forward slightly.

"Don't be so quick to disbelieve me. Let me ask you again: Do you know why Yu Canghai is so determined to wipe out the Fuwei Escort Agency, not even sparing its branches in various regions?"

Everyone's curiosity was instantly piqued, and they all looked at him with eager expressions.

Everyone from the Fuwei Escort Agency pricked up their ears again, and even Lin Zhennan glanced sideways, wanting to see what other information this person had.

The square-faced man didn't answer directly, but said, "My brother also said that when the Qingcheng Sect attacked each Fuwei branch, they dug up the courtyard three feet deep and searched through everything, as if they were looking for something."

"What's strange is that he didn't pick up the gold and silver jewelry that were scattered all over the ground. It's obvious that he wasn't after the money, but was looking for something more important."

"Guess what it is that's worth Yu Canghai personally going to such lengths, even resorting to murder and arson, to obtain?"

Upon hearing this, the Lin family of three were all shaken.

The fact that the Qingcheng gang was ransacking things was something the Hangzhou branch had already noticed when the incident occurred, but at the time they were too busy rushing to the Nanchang branch to think about it.

At this moment, the square-faced man pointed it out, and it felt like the clouds had parted and the sun was shining, but there were still many doubts.

The three men were preoccupied with their own thoughts and didn't listen carefully to what the man was saying.

Shi Potian thought to himself: Could it be that the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique really has another secret method, and Yu Canghai killed and set fires for this reason?

Then I thought of the people of Xia Ke Island who were obsessed with advanced martial arts and refused to leave the island for decades, which is indeed quite possible.

However, many questions remained unanswered, and Shi Potian, unable to figure them out for the time being, put them aside.

At this moment, the waiter had served the food and wine. The rich aroma of the wine filled his nose, and his eyes lit up. He grabbed Zheng the镖头's arm and started drinking.

Madam Wang looked at the table full of food and wine, but her brows were furrowed: "Could it be that the Lin family really has that powerful Evil-Repelling Sword Manual? If so, why has my husband's swordsmanship remained mediocre all these years?"

"If you say he has mediocre talent, then my husband has learned the profound techniques Ping'er taught him quite quickly, even more so than I have. How can he be considered dull or slow?"

Madam Wang was puzzled and filled with doubts. She couldn't help but glance at Lin Zhennan beside her, only to see that he looked somber and preoccupied.

Lin Zhennan was indeed preoccupied at the moment, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the sword at his waist, unable to make a decision.

After a long while, as if he had thought of something crucial, he subconsciously tightened his grip on the sword hilt, while glancing at Shi Potian, who was drinking heartily beside him, and thought to himself:

"With Ping'er's mind-body technique, the Lin family has something to rely on, and that thing is not so important anymore, so why bother ourselves with unnecessary troubles?"

While the three were lost in thought, the江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) men in the hall could no longer contain themselves and began to clamor, vying to guess.

Seeing this, the square-faced man didn't stop them. He stroked his beard and watched the crowd with a smile, letting them argue as they pleased, his eyes full of smugness.

"Could it be that they're looking for a martial arts manual?"

"Could it be the Lin family's Evil-Repelling Sword Manual?"

"I've heard that Lin Zhennan's martial arts skills are mediocre. What secret techniques could the Lin family possess that would make the Qingcheng Sect so eager to acquire them?"

"Idiot! If Young Master Lin could defeat Yu Canghai in one move, how could Lin Zhennan's martial arts skills be any worse? We've all been fooled by his pretense!"

The square-faced man chuckled smugly, saying, "I've only just figured this out myself! Whether Lin Zhennan is truly hiding his abilities or not is another matter, but the Lin family's ancestors were definitely once very wealthy!"

"Lin Zhennan's grandfather, Lin Yuantu, was said to be invincible in the world back then with his Evil-Repelling Sword Technique. Do you think it's possible that he left behind the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, which attracted the covetousness of the Qingcheng Sect?"

These words caused the entire room to fall silent, and everyone from the Fuwei Escort Agency felt a chill run down their spines.

These martial arts figures all wore greedy expressions, fantasizing about obtaining the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual and rising to the top in one step. Many of them even made sounds of swallowing saliva.

"Just because Yu Canghai can't touch him doesn't mean we can't?"

"Yu Canghai is nothing but a name without substance."

"Just a good-for-nothing who only bullies ordinary镖师 (bodyguards/escorts)."

With everyone harboring their own secrets, the inn's lobby fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly, Bai Er, the porter, let out a cold laugh, breaking the tranquility of the inn:

"Yu Canghai should take a piss and look at himself in the mirror to see what kind of person he is. He dares to covet the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. He is really overestimating himself."

"What's so great about him? Young Master Lin could take him down with a single finger!"

Upon hearing this, the people in the inn all turned and glanced over, their eyes all landing on the group from the Fuwei Escort Agency, each with a strange look in their eyes.
