Chapter 41

Zhaixingzi never expected that Xiaohuan, a young girl, would be so powerful, even surpassing him.

This was the second time Zhaixingzi had suffered a defeat. The first was against Xiao Feng, and the second was against Xiaohuan.

Zhaixingzi shouted in his heart, "Why are there so many experts in the Central Plains?"

Zhaixingzi was increasingly unable to understand the martial arts world of the Central Plains. He had practiced martial arts for thirty years under Ding Chunqiu in the Star Lake, and had only become a first-class warrior. Yet Xiaohuan, who was just in her early twenties, had already surpassed him in martial arts.

This left him in shock.

"Xiaohuan..." Ajuz's voice was faint, clearly indicating she was poisoned.

"Ajuz, how are you?" Xiaohuan, a martial artist of the hidden strength level, could control her qi and blood, expelling the poison from her body. However, Ajuz, a woman with low martial arts skills, had no resistance against the poison from the Star Lake Sect.

Ajuz said, "I think I'm poisoned."

Xiaohuan placed the single-edged sword against Zhaixingzi's neck and said coldly, "Hand over the antidote, or I'll cut off your head."

Zhaixingzi, a coward, seeing no hope of winning, quickly handed over the antidote to save his life.

Xiaohuan made Ajuz take the antidote and said, "Ajuz, let's kill these guys. After all, we've killed people on this journey."

Ajuz shook her head and said, "Forget it, Xiaohuan, let them go."

Zhaixingzi nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Fairy, please let me go. I will never oppose you again."

The few people behind Zhaixingzi also begged for mercy.

Xiaohuan nodded and said, "Alright, since Ajuz has spared your lives, I will comply."

Before Zhaixingzi and the others could be happy, Xiaohuan stepped forward, her knife moving as fast as lightning, severing the tendons in their hands.

"You may be spared death, but you will not escape punishment. I will cripple you today so that you cannot use your martial arts and poisons to harm others."

Xiaohuan supported Ajuz and said, "Ajuz, let's go."

After Xiaohuan and Ajuz left, the surrounding diners were shocked, "This young girl is so powerful, her knife skills are divine."

...

Xiao Feng carried Azhi, seeking medical help everywhere. Seeing Azhi lose so much blood and turn pale, Xiao Feng was extremely anxious.

"Sir, are you looking for a doctor?" A person, seeing Xiao Feng's anxious look, asked kindly.

"Yes. Do you know where I can find a good doctor?" Xiao Feng asked.

The person pointed to the east of the city and said, "In the eastern part of the city, there is a doctor named Sai Huatuo, who is highly skilled."

Xiao Feng said gratefully, "Thank you." Then he quickly carried Azhi to the east of the city and found Doctor Sai Huatuo.

Originally, Xiao Feng wanted to find Xue Muhua, but Xue Muhua was nowhere to be found, and since Xiao Feng was from Liao, he doubted Xue Muhua would treat Azhi.

"Doctor, save her quickly." Xiao Feng placed Azhi on the bed and said loudly.

Sai Huatuo, seeing Azhi's injuries, knew it was serious and quickly applied acupuncture to stabilize her condition.

"Doctor, how is she? What's wrong with Azhi?" Xiao Feng asked.

Sai Huatuo shook his head and said, "This young girl's injuries are severe, and she has lost a lot of blood. If it weren't for your true qi sustaining her, she would have died already. It will be difficult to cure her. I have a ginseng root here, which may help her."

After Azhi took the ginseng soup, her face regained some color, but her condition was still not optimistic.

Xiao Feng said anxiously, "Doctor, you must save Azhi."

Sai Huatuo shook his head and said, "A single ginseng root has a minimal effect. To save her life, a large amount of ginseng is needed to treat and nourish her body, but ginseng is scarce."

Xiao Feng asked, "Where can I find ginseng?"

Sai Huatuo said, "Changbai Mountain. Changbai Mountain is rich in ginseng. If you are lucky and find a thousand-year-old ginseng, the young girl will surely recover."

...

Xiao Feng looked at Azhi, feeling a sense of confusion.

Azhi had lost a lot of blood, but the toxins in her body had also been mostly expelled, and her appearance had recovered.

Now, Azhi looked exactly like Ajuz, except for a hint of childishness on her face.

"Ajuz."

Seeing Azhi's appearance, Xiao Feng missed Ajuz even more, "Ajuz, once I find the culprit, I will take you to the frontier. I won't let anything happen to Azhi. I will take her to find enough ginseng to cure her injuries."

Xiao Feng bought a lot of warm clothing and carried Azhi to Changbai Mountain.

...

Changbai Mountain was covered in snow, and the cold wind pierced through the body.

Xiao Feng, with his deep cultivation, could withstand the cold with his innate true qi, but Azhi, who was severely injured and unconscious, was in great danger even with warm clothing.

"Sister-in-law." Azhi's voice came.

Xiao Feng asked, "Azhi, how are you feeling? Don't worry, Sister-in-law will definitely find enough ginseng for you. Your injuries will get better."

" Sister-in-law, don't leave me." Azhi said softly.

Xiao Feng felt a pang of pain, "Don't worry, Sister-in-law won't leave you."

...

"Roar!" Xiao Feng heard the roar of a giant bear.

Xiao Feng looked into the distance and saw a middle-aged man dressed in animal skin being chased by a giant bear.

Xiao Feng used his lightness skill, struck a palm, and a golden palm force shot out, directly knocking the bear away, saving the man in animal skin.

"Thank you, brother, for saving my life. I am from the Jurchen tribe, Wanyan Aguda." The middle-aged man said gratefully.

"Xiao Feng." Xiao Feng said his name.

"Xiao Feng?" Wanyan Aguda asked in confusion, "Khitan?"

Xiao Feng nodded, "Yes, Khitan."

"What brings you to Changbai Mountain, Brother Xiao?" Wanyan Aguda asked.

In such a cold and snowy place, he wouldn't have come out if it weren't for hunting.

Xiao Feng smiled bitterly, "My younger sister is severely injured and needs ginseng to be cured, so I brought her here."

Wanyan Aguda laughed, "Brother Xiao, my Jurchen tribe has plenty of ginseng. Come, let's go back to the tribe, where there is enough ginseng."

Xiao Feng said gratefully, "Thank you."

...

Wang Yue, dressed in black, rode a horse, traveling with a caravan.

On this journey, every time Wang Yue found a clue, it would be interrupted at a critical moment.

The other party was very cunning.

"Hey, Brother Wang, are you going north for something?" A young man riding a horse beside him asked.

Wang Yue smiled, "Yes. I'm going to buy some furs and bring them back to Jiangnan. This way, I can make a profit. Ha ha."

The young man laughed, "It seems Brother Wang is a shrewd businessman. But someone like Brother Wang should be a scholar or an official, not a merchant."

Wang Yue, with his refined and handsome appearance, looked nothing like a merchant.

Wang Yue smiled, "Being an official is good, but there's no money to spend. I want money, a lot of money."

Hearing Wang Yue's words, everyone around him laughed. Indeed, merchants all want to make more money.

...

After reaching the northernmost part of the Song Dynasty, Wang Yue left the caravan and set out alone, entering the territory of the Liao Dynasty.

A few days later, Wang Yue finally found some clues.

"Turns out the soy sauce and five-spice seasoning from the Liao Dynasty are transported from this mountain."

Wang Yue looked at the mountain before him and thought coldly.

"I've found you. No matter who you are, if you dare to harm the people of Wang Family Village and the National Martial Arts Hall, you will pay the price."

Wang Yue's killing intent boiled.

Wang Yue used his lightness skill and quickly entered the mountain.

In the mountain, in a valley, Wang Yue found a huge workshop. The workshop was much larger than Wang Family Village.

Wang Yue did not act immediately but waited for the culprit to appear.

With Wang Yue's current martial arts skills, destroying the workshop and killing the workers would be easy, but that was not his goal.

Only by killing the true mastermind would he truly avenge the people.

...

After several days of investigation, Wang Yue finally learned that the "Great Master" behind the scenes would appear in five days.

Wang Yue hid in the workshop's warehouse, quietly waiting for the mysterious "Great Master" to appear.

Five days later, Yan Longyuan really came to the workshop.

"Master, the workshop is now running smoothly. There's no need for you to come personally. We can handle these matters." The black-clothed man behind Yan Longyuan said.

Yan Longyuan shook his head, "The workshop is not a small matter. Eighty percent of our silver comes from here. Now, many officials in the Song, Liao, and Western Xia Dynasties have been bribed by me, including the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. Hmph, the Song Dynasty is so corrupt that it is time for the Murong family to take over the world."

The black-clothed man laughed, "Indeed, Master is wise. I believe the restoration of the Great Yan will be swift."

Wang Yue, hidden in the dark, heard Yan Longyuan's voice and thought coldly, "So it really is Yan Longyuan, the old scoundrel. Since that's the case, I will kill you today. But why is Yan Longyuan thinking about restoring the Great Yan? Isn't that what Murong Fu and Murong Bo have been doing?"

Suddenly, a thought flashed in Wang Yue's mind, "Could Yan Longyuan be Murong Fu's father?"

"Yan Longyuan. Yan, the Great Yan, Longyuan, the dragon in the depths. Hmph, it is indeed Murong Bo." Wang Yue now knew that Yan Longyuan was Murong Bo's alias.

"Hmm?" Murong Bo stopped. He walked into the warehouse and suddenly felt a sense of death, extremely dangerous.

Martial arts masters at the grandmaster level are very sensitive to danger.

This feeling is also called the sixth sense.

Wang Yue, on the roof beam, felt Murong Bo's abnormality and knew he might have discovered him.

"I can't wait any longer, I must act!"

Wang Yue thought.

"Boom!"

Innate true qi erupted, directly tearing off the roof.

"Murong Bo, die!"

Wang Yue roared, the sound wave like thunder, stunning everyone around him.

This punch, Wang Yue used all his strength, a force exceeding 50,000 pounds, causing the air to explode violently.

Murong Bo was shocked.

"Who? Who dares to sneak attack me!"

Murong Bo used the Combined Finger technique, colliding with Wang Yue's punch, causing a violent explosion. The true qi and innate true qi directly destroyed all the soy sauce and five-spice seasoning in the warehouse.

Seeing the attacker clearly, Murong Fu was shocked, "Wang Yue, it's you?"
