Dragon Gate Swordsman

The figure jumping down from the second floor was wearing fluttering long gown and had a handsome appearance. It was none other than Yang Yunxing, the leader of the Western Alliance sent to Yumen by the Five-Party Alliance.

The onlookers naturally knew this representative of the Yumen Jianghu, so when they saw it was him, they immediately became a little wary and cautious of the Rupert man... Yang Yunxing has been cooperating with the border guards for several years, resisting the attacks of evil beasts and tracking down the whereabouts of the cult, so his reputation is naturally very high.

However, it is not normal for a normal person to only listen to one person's words, and the onlookers would not regard the Rupert men as clear enemies.

"Nonsense! I am the head of Xuanhua Sect in Yinyang City after all. How can I be summoned and dismissed by you?"

"So your Excellency means... that you are unwilling to agree?"

As he spoke, Yang Yunxing's palms began to flash with the light of gathered true energy, and it was obvious that he was ready to fight if they disagreed.

This made Rupert's male body stiffen for a moment, and then his tone became less aggressive.

"Alliance Leader Yang, Hero Yang... I came here from Yinyang City just to visit old friends. I have absolutely no ill intentions. Why are you forcing me so hard?"

"The old friend you mentioned is the demon from the Yangshen Sect? How can we, the heroes of Yumen, trust you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers burst into exclamations.

The Yangshen Sect, which is acting as a substitute for the dead, can be said to be the most dangerous cult group in recent years after the substantial destruction of the Shanhai Sect. If it weren't for the increasingly weird behavior of the evil beast since last year, perhaps Master Wu, who had spared time, would have personally stepped in to deal with this troublesome thing.

At present, the main force of the border defense army must be on guard against evil beasts at all times. They can only deal with small-scale battles. It is inconvenient for the martial arts people to participate, so they can only deal with the evil cult monsters.

"You... don't talk nonsense. I haven't seen Mr. Dai for seven years. Even if he really became a cult demon, I didn't know about it!"

Yang Yunxing snorted coldly, as if he was too lazy to listen to his excuses. He raised his right hand and was about to release the gathered true energy.

However, the Rupert male showed no intention of confronting head-on or sitting there waiting to die. Instead, he turned around instantly and rushed to the side!

As luck would have it, Xiaobai, whose way was blocked by the crowd, was in this direction.

"Get out of my way!"

The Lupo male roared, and at the same time, he reached out to Xiaobai's shoulder at lightning speed.

It was obvious that he was not going to launch an attack, but just wanted to push the girl away and take the most direct dodge route.

Who would have thought that Xiaobai, who already had very good basic skills, had a sharp increase in reaction speed after practicing the Beiming Divine Art. He actually saw through Rupert's male intentions and actions, and then, half out of instinct and half out of overconfidence, he waved his palm to meet the attack.

With a light "pa" sound, the two men hit each other hard.

Maybe he just wanted to escape as quickly as possible and had no intention of hurting anyone, and he was facing a little girl, so Rupert didn't use too much strength. As a result, he couldn't even defeat Xiaobai even with a palm-to-palm fight.

And then, something happened that shocked both of them.

An irresistible suction force was generated on Xiaobai's palm, which trapped Rupert's male palm tightly and could not be pulled back... At the same time, the true energy in his body seemed to have received some kind of order and began to rush towards his palm frantically.

Then, it flowed into Xiaobai's body.

“What!? You…you…”

The terrified Rupert was unable to utter any complete sentences, because Yang Yunxing's two fingers were already imprinted on his back, and the tremendous force directly penetrated his body and destroyed the circulating true energy in one fell swoop!

With a sharp wail, Rupert, whose Qi was dissipating from his body, felt severe pain all over his body and fell down twitching.

But Yang Yunxing ignored him, and instead looked at the stunned Xiaobai with a puzzled look.

"I didn't expect that you, little girl, are actually a hidden master. I'm so sorry."

"Uh... no..."

Xiaobai lowered his head timidly.

At this moment, the girl only felt a constant pain in her right hand, but the true energy she had just absorbed from Rupert's male body seemed not to be an illusion.

She didn't remember having any talent in Originium skills, so that meant... this domineering ability was the effect of the Bei Ming Divine Art?

Master, what kind of weird martial arts did you teach Xiaobai?

Chapter 97 Assassination Case, Suspicion Surrounds

"Master!! What exactly is the Bei Ming Divine Art that you taught me?!"

"…What's wrong? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Looking at Xiaobai who seemed to be coming at him aggressively, Chongxiao, who had wanted to reflect quietly for a while, asked helplessly.

The battle with Master Wu was the most beneficial experience for him since he woke up in this land.

Although the martial arts and swordsmanship found in the memory fragments, as well as the accumulated physical memories and insights, are enough to allow Chongxiao to stand at the pinnacle of martial arts, there is a subtle sense of emptiness.

It was as if he had not actually climbed up step by step, but had come directly here with the help of some powerful being, and was looking down from the opposite direction.

In addition, Zhongyue also pointed out clearly that if one cannot even remember the meaning of the name and what the Xel'Naga are, then it means that one has forgotten something very important... Without these parts that constitute a unique self, how can one comprehend the true Tao?

It's like a magnificent building. It's impossible to tell what materials its foundation and supporting pillars are made of, so its stability naturally cannot be guaranteed.

I'm afraid that compared with your real strength, the skills you have mastered now are probably not worth mentioning.

This was what Zhongyue pointed out in the most serious manner when Ling went to add water to the teapot.

Not worth mentioning... because these are just the odds and ends I can easily remember, and the ones that are really important, I still have no idea...

"Master!"

"Yeah... I'm listening, Xiaobai."

Chongxiao yawned and turned to look at the girl. "The Beiming Divine Art is pretty good. What's the problem? Do you want Master to take a look at it for you?"

"do not mean that……"

Xiaobai, who seemed a little frightened, took a few deep breaths quickly to conceal his panting.

Then, he told Chongxiao what had just happened.

Will the Bei Ming Divine Art automatically absorb the true energy of others?

Chongxiao was very surprised by this, and then his face darkened... He had just had his problems pointed out by Master Wu, and the ensuing impact appeared.

That is, he only remembered that this was a powerful and domineering martial art, but forgot its most important characteristics and side effects.

You know, this method of absorbing other people's true energy is a taboo in the martial arts world. If used incorrectly, it may even lead to public attacks and become an evil practice. Yet, he actually taught it to Xiaobai so easily.

"Put your hand over here."

"……Oh."

Xiaobai hesitated a little, but still did it.

However, Chongxiao's subsequent behavior still surprised her, and a hint of embarrassment mixed with shyness appeared on her face.

This guy completely ignored the difference between men and women and directly pulled the white jade-like hand to his eyes to observe carefully... The girl could even feel the hot air from the master blowing on the palm of her hand, which made her feel itchy...

Well... there are indeed signs that the true Qi is being affected, but Xiaobai's unrefined meridians simply cannot withstand the overly strong true Qi, and what he just absorbed didn't seem to be well integrated.

Through the perception of true qi, pulse diagnosis, and direct observation of the meridians under the skin, Chongxiao came to the conclusion: Fortunately, this matter was discovered early and is not a big problem.

"Do you feel anything?"

"Ah? Master, what are you talking about?"

Xiaobai pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted, then took two steps back tremblingly, which made Chongxiao frown.

This shouldn't be the case. How could such a tiny bit of mixed Qi, and the fact that he hasn't practiced any special techniques, have such a big impact?

While feeling confused, Chongxiao stood up and walked towards the girl, not knowing that this made her even more "frightened".

In fact, although Xiaobai is at this age, he is not used to thinking too much, especially in this aspect. However, the behavior of someone just pulling the girl's hand and looking left and right and touching it is very perverted...

"Xiaobai, are you really okay?"

“No…No!!!”

The sudden scream startled the girl herself and made Chongxiao's eyes twitch.

You know, he just reached out his hand to test whether Xiaobai had a fever, who knew there would be such a big reaction.

"It's not hot either, could it be..."

Could it be that that thing is coming?

Hmm...if you think about it carefully, Xiaobai seems to have reached this age a long time ago.

Taking another look at the girl's abnormally flushed face and her neurotic eyes, Chongxiao had to cough twice deliberately to hide his embarrassment.

"Uh... Go and rest quickly, Xiaobai."

"But it's still afternoon, Master."

"What happened this afternoon? You need to rest if you're not feeling well. Go! Go to bed and I'll buy you dinner."

Huh?

The girl still had a confused expression until she was pushed back to her room by Chongxiao.

What on earth just happened?

……

The problem with the Bei Ming Divine Art is not a big deal. The reason why Xiaobai can't help but absorb the true energy of those she comes into contact with actually just shows how fast she is progressing.

If she hadn't mentioned it, Chongxiao might not have noticed this "little thing", but now he just needed to teach her the method of regulating her internal breath and curbing the flow of Beiming's true qi. In this way, the "passive skill" could be turned into an "active skill", and there would be no hidden dangers.

However, considering the strand of true qi entangled in Xiaobai's meridians, Chongxiao felt that it was necessary to pay attention to it.

Most of the internal skills in the world will not condense special true qi, at least not in the early and middle stages. In the later stages it depends on the mental method and the "attributes" of the practitioner himself.

But there are also a small number of people who are striving for a certain purpose from the beginning, so the true qi of some people in the martial arts world is itself "highly poisonous".

For example, some evil techniques and martial arts with their own attributes like the Mysterious Nether Divine Palm, their existence is like coating the weapon with poison when you cannot defeat the opponent with real swords and guns.

If the unlucky guy whose true energy was sucked away by Xiaobai practiced this kind of martial arts, then Chongxiao really needs to pay attention to the girl's condition.

So he decided to go and confirm with the Rupert man before buying dinner.

This incident happened less than two hours ago, in broad daylight, with countless witnesses, so Chongxiao casually asked about this person being taken to the dungeon of the Five-Party Alliance headquarters by Yang Yunxing, and estimated that after obtaining information from him, he would be handed over to the border guards for handling.

Leaving the matter of dealing with the cultists to the people of Jianghu could easily lead to many problems, but the erratic activities of the evil beasts were too threatening at the moment, and it was already very difficult for the border guards to spare a few reconnaissance teams to advance the investigation, not to mention the difficulty in fighting against the despicable and cunning Yangshen priests.

In fact, the Western Leader of the Five-Party Alliance, Xuanjian Yang Yunxing, was able to come to Yumen several years ago to manage the people in the martial arts world. In addition to coordinating the relationship between them and the border guards, he also wanted to take charge of the investigation of the Yangshen Sect's affairs.

However, whether this was the intention of Li Wuan, the supreme commander who took over Zuo Xuanliao, or the arrangement of Master Wu Zhongyue, is not something that outsiders can tell.

The headquarters of the Five-Party Alliance in Yumen is a square hall. On both sides of the main entrance are hung a couplet. On the left is inscribed: The world's morality, Zhenwu eliminates demons and supports the sun and the moon; on the right is inscribed: The world's righteousness, benevolent power suppresses evil and stabilizes the universe. The horizontal banner reads: The hero serves the people.

In addition, the first thing that catches the eye inside the door is a house-guarding stone tablet that is more than nine feet high. It can be seen that there are no traces of splicing or chiseling on it, but it is a complete whole.

There were no guards at the entrance of the guild hall like in a military camp. People in the underworld didn't care about those things at all. But after entering the door and taking a few steps, a security guard came out and blocked the way.

At this time, Chongxiao only has the identity of a captain of the imperial guards but no captain badge, but Li Wuan gave him an identity card for joining the Zhenbei Camp. Strictly speaking, he is still a direct subordinate of Wu Junshiling... This really makes Chongxiao have to try to imagine a script for "The Secret Between Me and My Beautiful Female Boss", but unfortunately that guy Nian will never shoot it.

Relying on his status as a soldier, Chongxiao found the entrance to the dungeon and then walked towards it.

As a military fortress, Yumen does not treat prisoners in a manner similar to that of an ordinary mobile city, with regard to human rights and laws, and the underworld people are even less likely to care about these things.

So apart from electric lights and basic beds, the other hardware in this dungeon is basically no different from the facilities a hundred years ago, and even the sanitary conditions are not much better.

Chongxiao frowned immediately when he saw this scene...As a serious police officer, he did not quite agree with this way of handling the matter.

The main problem is not the treatment of prisoners. It is understandable that the prisoners are treated harshly and strictly in militarized areas. After all, this is an absolute forbidden zone for crimes. But letting a bunch of gangsters deal with these?

Aren't you really afraid of being used to settle personal grudges?

Chongxiao was stopped by the guards before he took a few steps into the dungeon.

"Please stop. What are you doing here?"

The two guards who appeared before him had firm expressions and dignified auras, and they both seemed to be military officers... In that case, General Li did not delegate all his power to the gangsters?

"My name is Chongxiao, currently serving as a military officer in the Zhenbei Camp. I'm here to look for the evil cult member that was just captured by Alliance Leader Yang."

"Join the army? So it's you, sir. How disrespectful."

The two men immediately relaxed after seeing the ID cards and saluted briefly. "But the cult member you mentioned... Leader Yang has never been here, and the last one who was arrested was half a month ago."

"……what?"

Yang Yunxing didn't send him here? Did he go directly to Zhenbeiying?

Helplessly, Chongxiao had to bow and say goodbye, and returned to the guild hall on the ground.

Forget it... why not not ask? Anyway, that strand of true energy is not a big problem. I can help Xiaobai to dissolve it myself when I go back.

Just as he was thinking this and preparing to leave, he suddenly sensed a hint of murderous intent, and... it seemed to be coming from the back of the hall!

what's the situation! ?
