Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

It can be said that the Xingyun Villa is the behind-the-scenes king of the Southern Song Dynasty's martial arts world. Traces of the Xingyun Villa can be found behind most of the forces in the Southern Song Dynasty's martial arts world.

For example, Xie Changan is just one of the people who have the final say in Xingyun Villa, but he already has the cultivation level of a master.

Besides him, there are eight other people like him who have the final say!

This is just what is on the surface. It is said that the old masters who are practicing in seclusion in the villa, as well as the Grandmaster Shuanghua, are so powerful that we, the Xuanyiwei, cannot afford to provoke them with our strength!

My Lord, listen to my advice. Just come here for a few years to gain experience. There is no need to make enemies with such underworld forces."

Song Xuan pondered for a moment, "Is there a Grandmaster in Xingyun Villa?"

Zhou Dawei laughed awkwardly and said, "You are joking, my Lord. A great master is such a great figure, how could he stay in a small place like Southern Song?

If Xingyun Villa had a Grandmaster in charge, it would have long since become another sacred place for the Great Zhou martial arts world. Why would he be hiding behind the scenes and secretly controlling things?

Song Xuan's voice stretched out a bit, "Oh, there is no Grandmaster..."

Even though there is no Grand Master, you are still talking so much to me. I thought that as soon as I arrived in Songzhou, I would have to fight against the Grand Master!

Song Xuan stretched out his hand, and the light shield that Zhou Dawei had set up with the power of heaven and earth was torn apart at will. In the other party's unbelievable look, he walked out from inside.

Looking at the calm and composed Song Xuan, Xie Changan also had a look of surprise and doubt on his face.

He did not sense the power of heaven and earth from the other party, but the other party was able to tear open Zhou Dawei's light shield, which showed that his strength was also extraordinary.

This made him doubt in his heart. Could it be that the kid in front of him was an old monster who had regained his youth?

Song Xuan looked at him calmly and suddenly said, "You came here because your young master was murdered, right?"

"how do you know?"

Xie Changan was surprised at first, then seemed to have thought of something, and asked in shock, "Could it be?"

"That's right!" Song Xuan put his hands behind his back, "Your young master and that guy called Xia Hou were both killed by me!"

"Oh it's you!"

Xie Changan was furious, "You killed someone from Xingyun Villa, you will surely die in heaven or on earth!"

He just let out a loud roar and rushed out as fast as wind and thunder.

But he did not attack Song Xuan, but turned around and fled. With a whoosh, he jumped out of the Qianhu Suo yamen.

Song Xuan was slightly startled, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Interesting!"

This Xie Chang'an, who was shouting and yelling in the Qianhu Suo Yamen and wanted to take the head of the Inspector, gave people the impression that he was brave, aggressive, rude and reckless.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Lao Liu who ran away as soon as he disagreed with something!

With a sneer, his figure was as fast as lightning. He took a step and was a hundred feet away. After a few breaths, he shortened the distance between the two to within ten feet.

Xie Changan fled frantically, feeling anxious.

It has been many years since he has been so embarrassed as today.

Ever since he learned that the other party was the murderer of Xiahou and the young master, he had lost all desire to fight and his mind was filled with the thought of escaping from this place as quickly as possible.

He knew better than anyone how powerful Xiahou was. It was definitely a humanoid beast from the wilderness. He had fought with it several times, but always ended in failure and never won.

If not for this, the owner of the manor would not have been so confident in entrusting the young master to Xiahou for protection.

But in the end, even a master as powerful as Xiahou died at the hands of the young man behind him. The opponent was so powerful that even if he was not a Shuanghua master, he was probably not far away.

If he can kill Xiahou, he can naturally kill Xie Changan as well!

How can this not be alarming?

Behind him, Song Xuan was getting closer and closer. Xie Changan began to panic. He gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeves, and a folding fan fell into his hands.

"Get out of here, old man!"

The folding fan in his hand kept flying in his palm. The power of heaven and earth was drawn by him, and it transformed into thousands of cold rays of light, like a torrent of ice, sweeping towards Song Xuan.

A killing move was launched, but the panic in Xie Changan's heart did not subside at all, but became more intense.

In his sight, Song Xuan's young figure turned into a red beam of light whose features could not be seen clearly. It broke through the sky like thunder and crushed the icy torrent he had struck out.

"Uh!"

The next moment, he felt his neck being tightly gripped by a terrifying force, and the sharp and violent sword energy surged into his body from his neck, wreaking havoc.

Almost in an instant, Xie Changan realized that he had been defeated, and his defeat was extremely thorough. Not to mention resisting, he had even completely lost the ability to move.

"Aren't you going to blow my head off?"

In Xie Changan's sight, that young and handsome man with a cruel face had a sneer on his face and slowly raised his fist.

Then, the fist that was bigger than a casserole completely filled his entire field of vision.

Bang!

This was the last sound Xie Changan heard.

He knew that his head had been blown up!

Chapter 232 Sir, you have to make the decision for me!

With a wave of his sleeves, he dispelled the blood mist left by the explosion of Xie Changan's head.

Song Xuan held the other person's headless body in one hand, took the other person's dropped folding fan in the other hand, and flew to an attic.

After smashing Xie Changan's head with one punch, Song Xuan was very satisfied with his own strength.

After practicing the acupoints and condensing the three flowers, his combat power soared again. Facing this master of one flower again, he didn't even need to draw his sword. The strength of his physical body alone was enough to blow the enemy up.

I have to say, the pleasure of blowing someone's head off with one punch is completely different from using a sword. It's more brutal, wilder, and more exciting!

Song Xuan felt that he was beginning to love this feeling.

Taking a deep breath, the pure Yang Qi continued to flow through his body, calming the murderous thoughts that had just arisen in his mind. Song Xuan once again returned to his calm state.

A moment later, Victoria Song arrived first.

The next person to arrive was Captain Zhou Dawei, who looked stunned and confused.

Especially after seeing Xie Changan's headless body being held by Song Xuan with one hand, his face turned pale and his body began to tremble subconsciously.

Xie Changan was even stronger than him, but his head was blown up so easily. So if this young Lord Song wanted to kill him, wouldn't he be dead for sure?

"Sir, you are not hurt?"

Zhou Dawei's expression changed repeatedly, and finally turned into a dog-licking smile full of worry and humility.

Song Xuan glanced at him casually, then waved to the excited Song Qian, "Search him for any goodies while he's still hot!"

"Okay!"

Victoria Song walked forward happily.

She had already gotten used to the situation where her brother killed someone and she had to touch the corpse, and she searched Xie Changan's headless body very skillfully.

After a moment, Song Erni weighed the extra dark black dagger in her hand with some disappointment and sighed, "What a pity! This fool didn't bring the secret manual with him!"

“It’s already pretty good!”

Song Xuan took the dagger and examined it. "It's made entirely of black iron. It's a rare divine weapon. Keep it for self-defense!"

Song Xuan casually threw the dagger to Song Qian and was in a very happy mood.

Although the secret book was not revealed, he was already very satisfied. At least he understood that if he had searched the corpse just now, let alone the black iron dagger, he would have been considered extremely lucky if he could have found even a tael of silver!

After searching the corpse, the harvest was pretty good. Xie Changan's body was useless, so Song Xuan kicked it.

"then!"

As the corpse was kicked away, it bumped into Zhou Dawei in front of his astonished eyes.

"I saw that he and you had a good relationship before, so it's perfect for you two to get closer!"

Zhou Dawei's heart tightened. He knew that the Inspector was very dissatisfied with him.

He immediately raised his hand and slammed out with a palm, directly exploding Xie Changan's body. Then he knelt on the ground with a sad face, "Sir, you are finally here. You must make the decision for me!"

Song Xuan glanced at him and said coldly, "Don't embarrass yourself here. If you have anything to say, go back to the government office and talk!"

After saying this, without even looking at him, the brother and sister stepped into the air and flew towards Qianhu Suo.

Zhou Dawei let out a light breath, wiped the cold sweat from his face, and felt limp all over.

After taking a few deep breaths, a smile appeared on his face. He was lucky that the master didn't kill him just now, and he thought he would not kill him again.

Thinking back on his previous actions, he should not have offended the Inspector. It seems that he has escaped this life-threatening situation.

......

In the lobby of Qianhu Suo Yamen.

Song Xuan sat in the main seat, Song Qian sat at the top left, and Zhou Dawei sat cautiously on the right.

The fat and thin monks did not follow. As cooks, they consciously walked towards the kitchen to prepare dinner for the adults.

"Tell me, what grievances do you have that you need me to handle?"

Song Xuan asked casually while holding the teacup.

"Your Excellency, you don't know, I am not qualified to be a thousand households, it is really frustrating!"

Zhou Dawei began to complain, "I passed the imperial examination thirty years ago and joined the Xuanyi Guard. That year, I was only twenty-one years old.

Afterwards, I have been to Qingzhou, Mingzhou and Songzhou, and step by step from a small flag of the Xuanyiwei to my current position as a thousand households in Songzhou.

Speaking of which, when one reaches the level of Qianhu, although he may not hold great power, he should be a local overlord, the kind that can shake the world with just a stomp of his feet.

"I used to think so, but after arriving in the Southern Song Dynasty, I discovered that the martial arts world here is far from simple. The martial artists here generally lack respect for the Xuanyi Guards!"

Zhou Dawei wiped the tears that he had managed to hold back from the corners of his eyes and said pitifully, "As an official, who doesn't want to benefit the people and make some achievements?

I can't control other places, but in Jiangnan Prefecture, I really want to rectify the local underworld atmosphere.

Therefore, after taking office, I summoned the cavalry from the Qianhu Division and the Baihu Division in various places and started to use military force against those disobedient martial arts forces!

I thought that with the strength of the lower-ranking martial arts master, plus dozens of innate warriors under his command, and thousands of Xuanyiwei Tiqi, wouldn't it be easy to sweep across all the major martial arts forces in Jiangnan Prefecture?

But the result was that my troops were blocked by two masked men as soon as they left the city.

Those two men both possessed the strength of a master. In the two-on-one situation, I was defeated and my troops suffered heavy losses, so I fled back to the city in panic.

The two masked masters must have had some concerns. After all, the prestige of the imperial court was still there at that time, and they did not dare to kill all the Xuanyi Guards and leave.

I have served in Qingzhou and Mingzhou. It has always been my Xuanyi Guards who have suppressed the forces in the martial arts world. How could I have ever suffered such a big loss?

So when I returned to the yamen, I wrote a memorial describing what had happened and sent it to the imperial capital, requesting that they send first-class Xuanyi Guards for support.

But in the end, after waiting and waiting, there was still no reply from the imperial capital.

Later, after I sent people to the imperial capital many times to inquire, I finally got some information.

It is said that after receiving my letter, the headquarters of the Xuanyiwei in the imperial capital is preparing to send out two first-class Xuanyiwei to clean up the entire underworld in the Southern Song Dynasty.

But in the end, for some unknown reason, the matter was suppressed by the emperor and no action was taken for a long time.

This matter dragged on for many years, and gradually, I became disheartened and lost my previous ambition and desire to rectify the underworld.

By the way, Xie Changan, whose head was blown up by your punch not long ago, was one of the masked men who sniped me outside the city that year.

I also want to thank you for avenging me. Otherwise, I would never have the chance to avenge myself in this lifetime!"

Chapter 233 Song Erni's Procrastination

Song Xuan looked at Zhou Dawei who was complaining and shedding tears, and couldn't help but waved his hand.

"Okay, stop playing the victim here!"

Zhou Dawei has been living a very depressed life these years. To be honest, the emperor has to take the blame.

Zhao Dezhu had told him about this matter. The emperor was afraid of the Xuanyiwei's excessive power, and relying on his childhood friendship with the Xuanyiwei commander Ye Tian, ​​he frequently interfered in the Xuanyiwei's affairs.

On the surface, they were sympathetic to the Xuanyiwei family and could not bear to let the first-class Xuanyiwei take risks. In fact, they were worried that the first-class Xuanyiwei would go to Songzhou and completely control the situation in Songzhou.

Sometimes, Song Xuan didn't understand what was going on in the emperor's mind.

Even if the Xuanyiwei controlled the underworld forces in Songzhou, at least the Xuanyiwei were loyal to the Great Zhou and shared weal and woe with the Great Zhou. At least there was no need to worry about rebellion, right?

But he insisted on weakening the Xuanyi Guards, and as a result, the forces of the underworld grew stronger in various prefectures, including Songzhou and Tangzhou, and the governors held real power in the local areas. Although they did not explicitly raise the flag of rebellion, a situation of feudal separatism had already begun to emerge.
