Although Yang Xiying told him that his sworn brother had also been arrested, he still wanted to hear the answer from her own mouth.

"..."

Upon hearing Wang Zhe's question, Li Yanxian remained silent for a moment. Looking around, she noticed that her acquaintances, He Hongyuan and his family, were also present and couldn't help but speak up.

“I was targeted by a group of thugs and was eventually captured and imprisoned. I thought I had no chance of escaping.”

"But just now, my vision suddenly blurred, and when I came to my senses, I found myself in Qingtian Village. Am I...am I dreaming?"

“This is not a dream,” Wang Zhe shook his head, then directed his gaze to Yang Xiying before speaking.

“It was this young hero Yang Xiying who used magic to get you out of trouble and back to Qingtian Village,” even Wang Zhe felt like he was dreaming.

Yang Xiying's methods were so profound that they could not be described as mere martial arts; she possessed the kind of supernatural abilities described in books!

"Spellcasting?!" Li Yanxian was momentarily stunned when he heard Wang Zhe say that. This... isn't this a skill only gods can possess?

“It was indeed a spell. The methods that Brother Yang Xiying used just now can only be explained by supernatural powers,” Luo Yuanyu said at this moment.

"After all, he said that you and that young master of the He family's caravan are in the hands of someone powerful, so they should be in a very far place."

"—And now you've suddenly appeared here..."

Luo Yuanyu was full of surprise, after all, he had witnessed Yang Xiying opening spatial rifts several times.

Holy crap! I must have run into a god!

“…I was indeed in Fengyun Ferry, Wolong Village, which is very far from Liqingtian Village before,” Li Yanxian replied after a moment of silence.

"Fengyun Ferry...?!" Everyone except Yang Xiying and her group showed expressions of surprise, as they knew where this place was.

The lake is on the eastern shore of Sichuan, while Qingtian Village is on the western shore! The two are separated by thousands of miles, how could they be reached in the blink of an eye!

"Brother Yang, and two young ladies, may I ask which deities you are?" Luo Yuanyu immediately felt boundless respect for Yang Xiying and the other two.

"...You just believe we're gods?" Yang Xiying's expression was somewhat amused. "After all, I might be able to rescue these two a little earlier."

"But it's not something an ordinary person can do to make two living people appear out of thin air," Little Shrimp complained at this moment.

"And it's too unusual for you to know so many things. I'd rather believe you're gods than ordinary people."

"—So I might as well just hand over the Luo Shu fragments I've collected to you."

After all, they are the gods of this world. Such magical things as the Hetu and Luoshu must be related to them, so let's just hand them over.

—And because of these people's amazing actions, he couldn't bring himself to do favors for He Daguotou.

"Fragments of the Luo Shu?" Upon hearing Xiao Xiami's words, Li Yanxian suddenly found a keyword that caught his attention and couldn't help but speak.

"Young man, were you just talking about fragments of the Luo Shu?"

"Yes, I'm currently collecting these to give to the Heluo clan, and now I've heard that the He family's caravan and Qingtian Village also have fragments."

"But I feel like I don't need to collect them anymore, since even gods have appeared in this world," Little Shrimp thought he didn't need to look for the Heavenly Book anymore.

“Uh…” Li Yanxian was speechless for a moment, then turned her gaze to Yang Xiying, and then heard the other side speak.

"We are not gods, but wandering knights who want to help when we encounter injustice."

“A hero like Chief Li Yanxian, who organized a righteous army to fight against the barbarians, should not end up as a prisoner.”

"So we helped you, and we also helped He Daguotou. After all, it is very painful for a parent to bury their child."

"—Therefore, the fragments of the Heavenly Book can be given to this little shrimp brother."

“...Is that so? Then thank you for your help, young hero, which allowed me to escape from the thieves.” Li Yanxian was silent for a moment before expressing his gratitude.

"The matter is not over yet. After all, your sudden disappearance from Fengyun Ferry will naturally enrage those who imprisoned you."

Yang Xiying responded.

"—So they might come after Qingtian Village again next."

"So Qingtian Village isn't a safe place anymore?" Little Shrimp couldn't help but ask, because the He family wouldn't be able to hide there either.

“But this is still a fortified town. Why not use it as a base to deal with any potential enemies?” Yang Xiying replied.

"Is this the alliance between Qingtian Village and the He Family Caravan that you mentioned, young hero?" Wang Zhe couldn't help but ask, since Yang Xiying had just said those words.

"Yes, since the Mountain Demon King and another Ming Cult Heavenly King, Baili Danhe, might come looking for us, we have no choice but to gather everyone's strength."

Yang Xiying spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, then changed the subject and looked at the surrounding heroes with a somewhat meaningful expression.

"...Or do you want to entrust us with the task? If it's someone like Yang Tianyi, Li Huoxiang, Sang Deng, or the Lord of the Unforgivable Pavilion, I'd be happy to help."

"—But I'm not very interested in Baili Danhe and the Mountain Demon King."

"..." Upon hearing Yang Xiying's words, the group fell silent, and at this moment, Xiao Xiami raised his hand like a good student.

"Well, although I feel like I'm being nosy, I'm still curious about why, and I also have something to ask you."

"You mentioned before that the Mountain Demon King was cooperating with a certain organization. Could that organization be the Unforgivable Tower?"

The Unforgivable Tower is a dangerous organization that frequently opposes him, and they are also searching for the whereabouts of the fragments of the Heavenly Book.

I've already encountered him several times, and just now I heard that the Mountain Demon King is related to Huang Shang, who may possess a celestial book.

Therefore, he felt that the Mountain Demon King was also related to the Unforgivable Tower, and Yang Xiying had even mentioned the names of Yang Tianyi and the Unforgivable Tower Master.

“Very clever. The organization that cooperates with the Mountain Demon King is the Unforgivable Tower,” Yang Xiying nodded in response, then heard the other side ask a follow-up question.

"—So, the mountain demon king's purpose in seeking out Huang Shang was also for the Heavenly Book?"

“That’s only part of the reason,” Yang Xiying responded to the other side. “Their main purpose in seeking out Huang Shang is still revenge.”

"Revenge...?!" Most people were stunned when they heard Yang Xiying say this, and then they heard Yang Xiying add.

"That's why I don't want to help you deal with these people. After all, they say that Huang Shang and his superiors have broken their promises."

PS: First update.

NO.132 You said you learned it after watching it once?

"treachery……?"

Upon hearing Yang Xiying's explanation, everyone frowned, and Yang Xiying nodded in response.

"Yes, betrayal and treachery. The Ming Cult actually played a part in the calamity that occurred in Shu, and they were the biggest contributors."

"—They were simply regarded as rebels entrenched in Shu by Huang Shang and his superiors."

"..."

Everyone suddenly fell silent. These words really gave the impression that Huang Shang had betrayed his promise, but He Hongyuan was more willing to trust Huang Shang's character.

"Your Excellency, could there be some misunderstanding? Commander Huang led me and Brother Li to quell the war in Shu back then."

“We know his character better than anyone else, how could he possibly do something so treacherous?”

“I just said it was with his superiors,” Yang Xiying replied, and at that moment Luo Yuanyu suddenly thought of something.

"Huang Shang and his superiors..."

Having traveled the world with Xiao Xiami, he also knew who Huang Shang was—the former military commander of Shu, and the people who could hold that position…

"Brother Yang, you're not referring to His Majesty the Emperor, are you...?"

"Of course it was him, so Huang Shang may not have done anything to betray his promise, but the current emperor, Zhu Yuanhuang, may not have."

"..." Everyone fell silent for a moment, after all, Yang Xiying's words were a bit offensive, and they dared not respond carelessly.

"Let me put it this way: Emperor Zhu Yuanhuang was once a member of the Ming Cult."

Yang Xiying then added, and everyone else looked astonished. The emperor, Zhu Yuanhuang, was a member of the Ming Cult...?!

"After defeating the barbarian wolves, he assassinated the leader of the Ming Cult and established himself as emperor with the forces he had secretly built."

"Then they labeled the Ming Cult as a rebel group, and Huang Chang was also the main force in purging the Ming Cult, so the two sides became enemies."

"Therefore, I have no interest in getting involved in this matter. I will not help you if the Mountain Demon King and Baili Danhe come to you."

"..." The group fell silent. This was a conflict between the imperial court's strength and the Ming Cult's strength. Directly intervening would only bring trouble upon themselves.

"However, if you want to collect the fragments of the Luo Shu, you'll have to deal with Huang Shang, since he has one."

Yang Xiying then changed the subject, and Xiao Xiami's face stiffened. After all, what the other party said was right, and he had been looking for it from the beginning.

"...Uh, can't we really entrust the Luo Shu fragments to you for safekeeping?" Little Shrimp couldn't help but ask, now more inclined to believe that Yang Xiying and her group were local deities.

"Heh, you were so eager to get involved in all sorts of troublesome things before in order to find the fragments, but now you're backing down."

Hearing Xiaoxiami's somewhat submissive tone, He Yuqing couldn't help but mock him, and Xiaoxiami immediately retorted.

"Hey, this is really hard to manage. After listening to what this great immortal said, I even think it's Huang Chang and the old emperor's fault."

"And this great immortal isn't necessarily the type to stand idly by, because he just mentioned that the Ming Cult is cooperating with my rival, the Unforgivable Pavilion."

"Then it won't just be the Ming Cult causing trouble for the He Family Caravan and Qingtian Village next; the Unforgivable Tower will also be involved."

"He just said he'd be happy to deal with the likes of the Unforgivable Lord, and asked them to fight the Unforgivable Lord so you can concentrate on fighting the Mountain Demon King and Baili Danhe."

"And I wouldn't mind helping you mediate the feud between Huang Shang and the Ming Cult, if you really want to fight the Ming Cult to the death for Huang Shang."

"..." He Yuqing remained silent. To fight the Ming Cult to the death for Huang Shang... With her father's personality, he would never do something so treacherous.

But more than Huang Shang, she hoped her family could be safe and sound.

"Anyway, how much money does the Great Immortal need to pay you to attack the Unforgivable Tower?" Little Shrimp turned his gaze to Yang Xiying at this moment.

—If he could really invite these people, he could go home much sooner!

"Why would we need money to punish evildoers?" Yang Xiying grinned. "Although we don't mind taking a little money."

“And you do seem to have something good on you, little shrimp,” he said, looking at the little shrimp with an interested expression.

"Lend me all the martial arts you know, like the Buddhist Lion's Roar, Wild Fist, The Ultimate Poison Manual, The Six Meridians Inner Classic, The Six Meridians Divine Sword, The Pear Blossom Spear, and The Spirit Cloud Fuxi Staff."

"Huh...?" Little Shrimp was a little confused for a moment because Yang Xiying had revealed most of the martial arts manuals he had.

Does this person have piercing eyes?! They're clearly always in the brocade pouch at his waist—he also has something that seems like magic.

—A treasure bag capable of holding a large number of things.

"If you show me all of these, I can not only take care of the Unforgivable Tower, but I can even find you fragments of the Heavenly Book."

"After all, I just told you where the three fragments of the Heavenly Book are. They haven't given them to you yet, but I can help you snatch them."

Yang Xiying spoke directly, and at that moment, everyone except him and his group couldn't hold back, especially the He family and the chief of Qingtian Village.

After all, this guy said he was going to steal the Luo Shu fragments they were holding. Wait, what happened to the chivalrous heroes?! Why is he starting to rob us?!

"...Great Immortal, are you still interested in martial arts among mortals?" Little Shrimp's expression was a bit strange, while the other person seemed to be very eager for knowledge.

But this knowledge is probably nothing to the great immortal.

"For me, the more knowledge the better. Just tell me whether you'll give it to me or not, since I've already proposed a deal."

"Uh, just help me clean up the Unforgivable Tower. I'll talk to Chief He, Chief Li, and Huang Shang about the Heavenly Book fragments myself."

The little shrimp was speechless for a moment before speaking up, "Now that everyone related to the Heavenly Book is here, wouldn't stealing from them just make enemies?!"

Although the people around you seem to be afraid to speak out for fear of offending you, they are not afraid to offend me!

"Anyway, you can take these books and read them. You don't have to return them to me." He had already finished learning all these martial arts manuals anyway.

As he spoke, Xiao Xiami took out more than a dozen books from the brocade pouch at his waist and handed them to Yang Xiying, which surprised the others.

You know magic, huh? And you have way too many martial arts manuals!

In this world, a faction usually only has two or three martial arts manuals, but this nobody has brought out several martial arts manuals that would be the equivalent of several factions.

Wang Zhe seemed thoughtful. He had indeed used martial arts from different factions when he stormed Qingtian Village.

"That won't do. I will still return the books that are owed."

Taking the book handed to her by Xiaoxiami, Yang Xiying tossed it directly into her spatial backpack, and then took out a copy of "The Lion's Roar of Buddhism".

"I've already finished studying this book, so I'm returning it to you," he said, quickly flipping through it before handing it to Xiaoxiami.

"Huh...?!" The little shrimp who received "The Lion's Roar of Buddhism" was dumbfounded, and the others were also somewhat dumbfounded.

—You learned it just by watching it once?!
