On this day, there was light rain. The drizzle was not very heavy, but it brought a feeling of coldness that was obviously stronger than usual.
Liu Xin and Xiao Qi left the inn together and headed towards Luoshen Villa.
Luoshen Villa is located outside Taiyuan City, a bit far away, so the two rented the horse from the inn.
As for Rokuro, he left early in the morning, leaving only a note saying that he had something to do these days.
Liu Xin and Xiao Qi knew what he wanted to do, so they let him go.
Although Rokuro's combat power is not too high.
Of course, the number here is not too high, it refers to the overall strength of the Linghu family.
If placed in the entire world, Liu Lang's cultivation in the lower level Dacheng realm would be considered to be at the top of the pyramid.
I didn't take Fang Zihang and Master Scar with me, mainly because they were visiting friends this time and nothing would happen to them.
But Mr. Scar seemed to have something to do and insisted on dragging Fang Zihang along.
Perhaps only Liu Xin knows that what Mr. Scar wants to do may not be too simple.
And ever since they came to Taiyuan City, Master Scar has been mysterious.
Unless Xiao Qi took the initiative to summon him, no one would know what he was doing.
Liu Xin and Xiao Qi went out of the city hand in hand. As soon as they left the city, they saw dust rising high in front of them after walking less than five miles.
With just one glance, he knew that a fast rider was rushing towards Taiyuan City in front of him.
There are at least tens of thousands of warriors in Taiyuan City today.
There is another Luoshen Villa outside Taiyuan City.
Therefore, it is impossible for any bandit or horse thief to attack Taiyuan City without a good eye.
And ordinary warriors in the martial arts world don't have such great arrogance.
There were at least dozens of people in the smoke and dust in front of them. A small sect might have that many people, but it was impossible to equip them with that many horses.
There are many places to spend money in the arena.
The most important thing for ordinary Jianghu people is to equip themselves with a set of weapons.
In addition, some other elixirs, armor or horses will be considered.
However, elixirs are consumables. It is unreasonable for ordinary warriors to prepare some wound medicine for themselves in case of emergencies.
As for some elixirs that can assist cultivation, even a small family may not be able to afford them with their Chinese proficiency.
As for armor, no matter how cheap a set of armor is, it can be ten times more expensive than a weapon.
As for horses, ordinary horses are several times more expensive than a set of armor.
And horses are still a constant consumable...
You can see this just by looking at Liu Xin.
Just one red rabbit horse would consume half of the salary of Liu Xin, who is now the chief minister of Jinyiwei.
Raising horses is really not something ordinary families can afford.
Of course, Liu Xin's Red Rabbit is a precious horse, and the ordinary Mapi will definitely consume much less, but that is not what ordinary people can afford.
Judging from the speed of the figures in front, their horses are at least good horses. They are slightly inferior to the best war horses, but they are still good.
Such a group of people will definitely not be a small force.
Basically, all the forces and individuals who are willing to participate in the competition at Luoshen Villa to recruit a bride have arrived.
So Liu Xin intuitively judged that this group of people should come from...
Kunli Sect!
Soon a dozen riders passed Liu Xin and Xiao Qi on the official road.
Liu Xin used his super eyesight to see clearly the attribute panels of several of them.

Pay Wenliu!
This familiar name made Liu Xin feel as if he had returned to eleven years ago.
How is this going?
Why did those old friends from eleven years ago suddenly appear in front of him one after another?
It gives you a feeling, as if there are pairs of invisible hands in this world that are manipulating the wind and clouds, controlling chess pieces like him.
At this moment, Liu Xin really felt like he was being controlled as a chess piece.
I don’t know why I feel this way, it’s just an intuition.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaoqi found Liu Xin looking distractedly in the direction of Taiyuan City.
"Senior brother?"
I called Liu Xin twice in succession, but still no answer.
Liu Xin was still immersed in his own thoughts.
The feeling of being in control he had just wanted to grasp, but now it was gone.
"Fu Wenliu... Kunli Sect... Liutian Sect...
Luoshen Villa! "
Dugu Xuanqing admitted that he was guided by a senior in the clan.
That senior was the first teacher for me and my sister.
On his deathbed, the senior found him.
Dugu Xuanqing wanted to participate in the Zhengyang martial arts competition to find a few people with advanced cultivation skills to defeat the idea of recruiting a bride, which was inspired by that senior.
At this moment, Liu Xin seemed to feel the feeling of being controlled and manipulated by others, like a wife.
And this time his feeling was more real...and lasting!
Even for a long time!
Liu Xin and Xiao Qi continued to Luoshen Villa.
At the gate of Taiyuan City, a carriage and a team of guards were slowly rushing towards the outside of the city.
There were two knights at the front of this motorcade, arrogant and domineering, constantly using their whips to clear the way.
Some warriors turned around angrily, but before they could get angry, the anger in their hearts had to be suppressed.
Everyone in Taiyuan City knows this carriage.
In addition to the officialdom in Taiyuan City, the most powerful force in the world is the Lin family of Taiyuan City.
And this carriage was driven by the only son of the Lin family.
This young master of the Lin family has always been arrogant and domineering, and because he is the only son in the family, the Lin family directly assigned him a luxurious escort of 20 warriors.
The main and deputy leaders of the escort team are both Dacheng realm warriors, so not only in Taiyuan City, but also in the surrounding area, Young Master Lin is a defiant and extremely arrogant existence.
Today, the convoy had just left the city gate. Before they all left the city, they found a group of knights coming outside the gate like a storm.
Although the official road is wide, it cannot allow two such huge teams to pass through at the same time.
Inevitably, the two teams had a little dispute.
Fu Wenliu and others came here in a hurry. When they saw someone blocking the way, someone immediately shouted:
"Kunli Sect is doing something, please get out of the way!"
Then your young master suddenly felt the carriage stop in the carriage, and then heard this unceremonious roar, and his face suddenly fell.
Pushing away a beautiful woman next to him, he opened the corner of the curtain and glanced at the dozen knights in front of him. He took a look at the number of knights on the other side and saw that there were only about thirteen or four people.
And his escort consisted of twenty people.
Make a decision!
Young Master Lin's originally good mood was disturbed by this.
So he directly ordered:
"Knock them down for me, young master, and their mother will take it as an apology!"
The young master of the Lin family is used to being arrogant and domineering, and the guards under him have also developed an arrogant temperament in the past few years.
Only the positive and negative commanders frowned slightly and looked at each other.
Both of them saw the hesitation in the other's eyes.
Although Kunli Sect is only a vassal of Emperor Wu City, it is also famous.
The two of them didn't dare to offend.
Seeing that they had no reaction, Mr. Lin directly scolded them:
"Are you two deaf? I'll ask father to replace you two when we get back!"
Hearing Young Master Lin's threat, hesitation suddenly appeared in the eyes of the two commanders.
The orthodox leader replied:
"Master, we'd better not start a dispute with Kunli Sect."
The voice was not loud, and it was estimated that the group of knights in front could not hear it clearly, but these words fell into the ears of Young Master Lin, and his face immediately turned red.
This is no longer shy.
But he was furious to the extreme.
He had never heard of the Kunli Sect.
The elders in his family have long told him which forces in the world should not be messed with.
Apart from what the elders told him, everything else has only one meaning, that is, everything is fine.
“Stop giving nonsense to me, young master!
It’s just Kunli Sect, my Lin family is not afraid!
If you two are talking nonsense, I will really ask my father to replace you when you get back! "
The expressions of the two commanders changed slightly at the same time. They were originally wandering cultivators, and later entered the Lin family through some connections.
They are deeply aware of the strength of the Lin family, at least they are second to none near Taiyuan City.
Moreover, there is Luoshen Villa nearby which can be compared with Emperor Wu City.
Even with Luoshen Villa, the eldest young master of the Lin family is still a dandy.
Thinking of this, the two of them found a suitable reason for themselves.
Since the Lin family is not afraid of Luoshen Villa, then the Kunli Sect, which is a level lower than Luoshen Villa, must not be taken seriously.
Soon relief appeared in both of their eyes.
Then, the orthodox leader stopped insisting and turned around and ordered his subordinates to surround the thirteen or four people in front.
It was said that they were surrounded, but in fact it was a group of people surrounding Kunli Zong and others.
At the forefront of the Kunli Sect knights are Fu Wenliu and another burly middle-aged man. This middle-aged man has slightly white temples, but has a rosy complexion and is full of energy.
The loud shout just now came from his mouth.
Kunli Sect, Mountain God Xue Mingxing!
He is also the oldest one among the Five Elements Swordsmen.
The others, including Fu Wenliu, were actually the second group of people.
Among the first batch of Five Elements Swordsmen, the remaining four were helplessly eliminated because they could not keep up with their cultivation.
The mountain god has always been the boss of the Five Elements Sword, leading everyone.
Although he looks rough and heroic, he is actually extremely thoughtful.
With his cultivation level, he could certainly hear the conversation between the two commanders and the young master of the Lin family.
Since they will come here, of course they have some understanding of the distribution of some forces here.
Kunli Sect can share part of the intelligence resources of Emperor Wu City.
They also know something about the Lin family in Taiyuan City.
The current head of the Lin family has only one direct grandson, which can be said to be a single lineage.
The Lin family is considered a good influence in the world.
The head of the Lin family is a senior mid-level Dacheng realm master.
There is also some connection with Luoshen Villa.
If he were an ordinary person, he would certainly not deal with the only direct grandson of the head of the Lin family.
But when did their Kunli Sect care about this?
In the arena, the competition is about whose fist is bigger.
Kunli Sect has explored this path very thoroughly.
Although the head of the Lin family only has one direct grandson, he also has brothers and sisters. Among them, there are still some people who are more talented than the eldest young master of the Lin family.
Therefore, it is not a big deal to deal with the eldest young master of the Lin family in front of him.
At least for Kunli Sect, it's not a big deal.
All thoughts flashed through him in an instant.
The mountain god understood what he was thinking, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips.
"Brother Mountain God, when I see your smile, I feel a little bit charming."
Fu Wenliu said with a smile.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a guy who can’t open his eyes in front of us.
I miss it very much too. "
The mountain god said angrily.
You must know that although Kunli Sect is a subsidiary of Emperor Wu City, if you want to expand your territory and unify the world, it is useless to rely solely on the strength of your backers.
The most despised thing among people in the world is bullying others with power.
Therefore, Kunli Sect's ability to become the overlord in Zhongzhou relies entirely on their fists, which are big enough and hard enough.
And in that process, the Mountain God, as the head of the Five Elements Sword, encountered many situations similar to the scene in front of him.
It's just that at that time, others thought that they were not good at Kunli Sect, so they looked down upon them.
But now we really know that they are powerful, but we still don't take them seriously.
There must be a world of difference in IQ between the two provocative people.
But no matter what the process is, the ending is always the same.
The mountain god, who had not experienced anything like this for a long time, couldn't help but have a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
The captain and deputy commander of the Lin family guard team saw something different in the mountain god's eyes, and they couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat.
But now the arrow is on the string and must be fired.
For them, the power brought by the Lin family who is closest to them is more powerful.
then,
"Get them for me!"
The orthodox leader gave an order, and all the guards drew their weapons.
Then he rushed towards the Kunli Sect in a scattered formation.
"Hahaha, good come on!
Guys, I haven't seen anything like this in a long time.
This time, please give me some face, brothers.
Let me feel this kind of thing about remembering the bitter and remembering the sweet! "
Shen Shen Weng said with an angry laugh.
"Okay, Brother Mountain God, I'm going to have to work hard for you this time!"
Pay attention to the flow path.
Several other people agreed.
The people behind the Five Elements Sword are all deacon-level disciples of Kunli Sect.
Many of them looked at the guards of the eldest young master of the Lin family as if they were looking at dead people.
The eldest young master of the Lin family looked at the teasing and joking expressions on the faces of the group of people, and his face turned even redder.
"Kill them for me!
Fifth Grandpa, you should take action too! "
After the eldest young master of the Lin family finished speaking, a voice came from the void.
"Master, this may be the last time I protect you from disaster.
I'd better act with my own ideas. "
"Ah, Fifth Grandpa, why don't you help Azu?"
The eldest young master was a little panicked at this moment.
The next moment there was a trace of irritation on his face.
"Fifth Grandpa, if you don't help me, I will definitely tell my grandpa about this!
Don’t forget what you owe our Lin family! "
"..."
There was no sound in the void for a long time.
Just when the eldest young master of the Lin family was about to continue threatening the fifth grandfather, a scream suddenly came from his ears.
The eldest young master of the Lin family felt that the scream was a bit familiar, and couldn't help but turn his head and look ahead.
The next scene may be the most frightening scene in his life.
I saw that his orthodox leader had now become a "weapon" in the hands of others!
That's right, it's a weapon.
At this time, the orthodox leader had fainted, and one of his legs was tightly held in the mountain god's big hand.
At this time, he is the weapon in the hands of the mountain god.
Rushing from left to right, the guards didn't dare to step forward at all. They were their own commanders.
How could he use his own weapons to attack his own leader?
The deputy commander's eyes were full of horror and he could not help but retreat, and he was already retreating in his heart.
The scene just now really horrified him as a mere casual cultivator.
The mountain god actually dismounted and used his mortal body to withstand the impact of a fierce horse, and then used extremely powerful force to overturn a horse weighing hundreds or thousands of kilograms.
After the orthodox leader knocked his horse to the ground, he jumped down in time to avoid being knocked to the ground by the horse.
But it fell into the hands of that burly man.
The orthodox leader had no resistance at all in the opponent's hands.
Before he could wave his weapon, he was already subdued by the opponent.
As for how the orthodox leader was subdued, he didn't understand it clearly despite the deputy commander's incompetence.
The fear in his heart was even worse for the unknown.
However, he was still thinking about whether he would be punished by the eldest young master of the Lin family if he retreated like this.
Normally, the domineering and arrogant young master would be very cruel to his opponents.
It is also for this reason that the people below him were gradually trained by him to become the brainless men they are now.
Otherwise, with the brains of the former chief and deputy commander, he should not have made the decision to attack the people of Kunli Sect.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have reached this point of death today.
While the deputy commander was hesitating, the mountain god had already picked up the orthodox leader and knocked the rest of them down.
At this time, the orthodox leader is probably not only in a coma, but whether he is still alive is also a question.
"Hehe, I haven't used such a weapon for a long time, it's so easy to use!"
The mountain god grinned, looked at the last survivor, and rushed forward!
"ah!"
After being swallowed by fear in his heart, the deputy commander did not even make a decent resistance.
The mountain god clapped his hands and strode towards the eldest young master of the Lin family who was already shivering in the carriage like a little quail.
Behind the mountain god, the bodies of the chief and deputy commanders were stacked on top of each other, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
