Just by looking at each other, Yan Ming could tell that Jin Jiuling's strength was even better than before, and it was huge!
Similarly, Jin Jiuling couldn't help but frown, his eyes locked on Yan Ming.
Yan Ming was still wearing a mask, and his true appearance was hidden behind the mask, so Jin Jiuling did not recognize him immediately.
Jin Jiuling just intuitively felt that he was familiar with him, and he also felt that Yan Ming's strength was not weak.
Upon seeing this, Elder Nan next to him was about to introduce Yan Ming to Jin Jiuling, but Elder Xi next to him pulled him back and winked at him.
"Huh? Oh!"
Elder Nan was confused at first, but then he seemed to remember something, with an expression of sudden realization.
The Sunflower Sect had received similar news before, saying that there were rumors that Jin Jiuling had gone to Qixia Town and competed with the famous Yan Ming, but failed.
Although they did not know the details, most people believed that Jin Jiuling should have fallen behind, otherwise he would not have gone back in despair so easily.
Moreover, it was rumored that after returning home, Jin Jiuling remained in seclusion for a long time without seeing anyone, and then slowly returned to normal, which further confirmed the previous conjecture.
Elder Nan forgot about this incident for a while, but after being reminded by Elder Xi, he realized that from this point of view, Yan Ming and Jin Jiuling had something to do with each other.
Seeing his old friend again, Yan Ming didn't show any nervousness at all. He walked up with Wei Wuya in hand and took off the mask on his face with one hand.
"Jin Captou, long time no see, always nice!"
Yan Ming took the initiative to greet Jin Jiuling.
"It's you!"
The moment Yan Ming revealed his true appearance, Jin Jiuling's eyes suddenly opened wide and he screamed out of control.
At the same time, the long sword at Jin Jiuling's waist trembled slightly, as if he was motivated by Qi and wanted to take action directly.
A vague and fierce intention rushed directly in front of Yan Ming.
In response, Yan Ming's pure sword intention also responded immediately. Although the two sides were far away, the sharp intention on his body seemed to have completed a confrontation in the air in the blink of an eye, and issued a Slight chirping.
"Um?"
Yan Ming and Jin Jiuling were both surprised and couldn't help but look at each other unexpectedly.
After not seeing each other for a short period of time, the other party actually condensed his true meaning!
Yan Ming also sensed that Jin Jiuling's sword intention was extremely pure, which showed that he had taken a big step forward in the way of swordsmanship, which was a big surprise.
And Jin Jiuling couldn't accept it even more.
Others may not know it, but Jin Jiuling himself knows that the reason why he was able to get rid of the shackles of swordsmanship, step into the way of swordsmanship, and condense his true meaning was entirely due to the Yi Yi book he stole from the palace when he transformed into an embroidery thief. Water Song Sword Technique.
Moreover, Jin Jiuling also made great efforts during this period to barely reach this point.
In the process of studying Yi Shuige, Jin Jiuling always thought about the humiliation of his defeat by Yan Ming, so his huge potential exploded.
After condensing the sword intention, Jin Jiuling was very proud for a time, thinking that he had outstanding talent.
However, when he saw Yan Ming today, he actually condensed the sword intention?
For a moment, Jin Jiuling felt an extreme sense of frustration.
The long sword worn on his waist trembled slightly before being calmed down by Jin Jiuling.
On the other side, Yan Ming walked directly in front of him.
He threw Wei Wuya to the ground.
At this time, Wei Wuya was completely restrained and lost the ability to move. The dragon-binding rope on his body had long been put away by Yan Ming.
Looking at Wei Wuya, who was short in stature and with shrunken legs, this was the goal of their operation.
However, Elder Nan and Elder Xi were not happy at all. Instead, they had worried expressions.
Because Wei Wuya was solved, but another more pressing problem was raised. How could they not be worried?
General Fuyuan, who had made great achievements in the military and had high prestige, and was awarded the Kowloon Cup by the emperor, actually colluded with King Pingnan to plot a rebellion. This was really something they couldn't handle.
On the contrary, Yan Ming felt no pressure and turned around to look at Jin Jiuling with a smile.
Recently, there have been several rumors about the activities of the Embroidery Bandit in the world, and Yan Ming has heard of it to some extent.
Others didn't know it, but Yan Ming knew that this embroidery thief was Jin Jiuling, and he just sighed in his heart. It seemed that this famous arrester still chose this path.
Jin Jiuling snorted coldly and turned his head.
Yan Ming looked at the surrounding situation.
A small courtyard here has been under martial law and is surrounded by elite six-door officers.
They all stood in their positions, serious and silent, not talking much to each other.
Outside, orders and shouts could be heard from time to time from General Fuyuan's mansion.
Obviously, more officials brought by Jin Jiuling have begun to control the Fuyuan General's Mansion, and the people in the mansion are not allowed to enter or exit at will.
The two elders have just communicated with Jin Jiuling. The matter is too big for them to deal with. They must ask for instructions and ask for additional manpower.
Moreover, he has been instructed that the situation in this courtyard is not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world. Even the officials in these six doors are not allowed to whisper to each other and are not allowed to act at will and privately.
Fuyuan General Zheng Tianhe, who was injured and languid next to him, had been put under control. If word spread about his appearance, it would probably cause an uproar.
Fortunately, the six-door officials who are here are carefully selected and will never leak secrets and are trustworthy.
Otherwise, they would not be allowed to participate in the joint operation with the Sunflower Faction. After all, the Sunflower Faction is very secretive, and few people in the world know the true background of the Sunflower Faction.
Soon, the chaotic sounds in General Fuyuan's mansion calmed down a lot, and then some officers came in escorting a few people.
Apparently they were several guards, housekeepers and servants from General Fuyuan's mansion.
"ah!"
When several people saw General Fuyuan who was wounded and covered in blood on the ground, they were startled and screamed, and their legs immediately became weak.
Several officials came forward to report the situation, saying that the house had been initially controlled. Others were fine, but it was not easy to deal with the teams of guards in the house.
After all, they were all selected from the army, and their combined strength was not weak. Taking into account the relationship between Liu Men and the army, it was not convenient to take action, so they could only be persuaded to stay at the house and wait for instructions from above.
Fortunately, after the initial commotion, the guards were relatively cooperative.
"Um."
Jin Jiuling nodded, indicating that he knew what was going on.
Then he looked at the people in the house.
"You don't have to be nervous. As long as you cooperate, I won't embarrass you. I'm going to ask you a few questions now and answer them truthfully."
Several people immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Jin Jiuling then asked a few questions, generally asking about the current situation of Zheng Tianhe and his family, and whether there was anything abnormal.
"We only knew that the general went out hunting, but we didn't know he was at home... In addition, our general has given instructions some time ago that no matter what happens or what happens, no one is allowed to go near this yard."
"At the beginning, a few people were curious and came to check out what was going on here. However, without exception, our general sent people to beat them to death in public, so we did not dare to disobey."
The butler said.
"It's true. We, we don't know what's going on, but our general has been a little abnormal recently. He was not such a harsh and irritable person before, but recently he has been behaving more and more erratically and showing up more and more often. The less you do, the less likely you are to lose your temper even if you show up."
The guard also added.
"We... don't know anything, but sometimes we hear some unusual noises in this yard, like something heavy falling down or the roar of some wild beast. It's quite scary. Some people say that the general is here. There is a wild beast here, and many strange faces have appeared in the house recently... Later, after the general issued a ban, we did not dare to go near this place."
The servant spoke tremblingly.
After hearing their answers, the two elders suddenly realized.
No wonder there was a lively fight here just now, but the guards at General Fuyuan's mansion didn't come to check.
Based on their confessions, some things can probably be inferred.
Fuyuan General Zheng Tianhe must have secretly united with King Pingnan through some channel.
Zheng Tianhe himself was trapped in the third level of the Grandmaster Realm and was unable to break through. King Pingnan got an evil technique from somewhere and gave it to him to practice, with the intention of breaking through to the third level in this way.
And this technique is indeed useful, at least it really enhances the strength, but the negative effect is that the mood becomes unstable, it is easy to lose one's mind, and every once in a while, one has to absorb a grandmaster to stabilize oneself.
Zheng Tianhe is inconvenient to move, and he doesn't want to attract unnecessary attention by attacking people at will. Moreover, his image and temper have also changed, making it inconvenient for him to show up frequently.
So he lied about going out hunting and hid here, waiting for Wei Wuya to trick some master-level masters into coming here, and then catch them all to use as food for his advancement.
The masters of the evil sect that Wei Wuya found were all lone wolf styles, and their whereabouts were usually elusive, so no one would suspect them if they disappeared.
The plan was originally very thorough, but they didn't expect that a fake Yan Ming would be mixed into it.
Unexpectedly, Yan Ming's actual combat power was no less than that of the Five Qi Master, and he took action to capture the two of them.
Iron Ghost Hongjing could probably guess the cause of the matter at this time, and couldn't help but feel very upset. He kept regretting that he shouldn't have come to this troubled water, but he had already become a prisoner, and it was too late.
"Yan Captou, thank you for your help in this matter. You have worked hard. However, this matter involves too much. It is not convenient for you to leave now. Please forgive me."
Elder Nan explained to Yan Ming.
Because of the fighting prowess Yan Ming had just shown, Elder Nan spoke to him in a much more polite tone.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
Yan Ming didn't care too much, knowing that the other party wanted to wait for the higher-up's intention, and was afraid that if he left first, the secret would be leaked, but he did not forget to add.
"Two elders, just don't forget the compensation you promised before."
"It's natural."
Elder Nan was speechless. This guy remembered this matter very well.
After the interrogation was over, they were ordered to be taken down and guarded for the time being, and Jin Jiuling was free.
Now, they have nothing to do except waiting for news, and they cannot leave for the time being.
Jin Jiuling couldn't help but his eyes would always drift to Yan Ming, and his heart was extremely confused.
This time Yan Ming captured Wei Wuya, and his strength must have improved. He is his biggest enemy!
Jin Jiuling thought about it, but he always remembered the last time he competed with Yan Ming.
He was already arrogant and arrogant, but if something like this happened, he would always be worried about it.
And what kept popping up in front of my eyes was the hard work and blood and sweat I had put in during this period of time to practice Yi Shui Ge.
"Yan Captou!"
Finally, Jin Jiuling couldn't hold it back and spoke to Yan Ming.
"Can you please take a moment to speak."
Faced with Jin Jiuling's invitation, Yan Ming did not refuse and walked out with him immediately.
Both of them were unable to leave Fuyuan General's Mansion for the time being, but there was no problem in coming to the yard next door.
The two of them came to an open space and stood still. Jin Jiuling turned around and looked at Yan Ming.
"Yan Captou must have made great progress in recent times."
"It's easy to talk about. When it comes to martial arts training, isn't it about retreating if you don't advance?"
Yan Ming laughed, but actually he had already guessed what Jin Jiuling meant.
Sure enough, Jin Jiuling immediately spoke.
"Jin gained a lot from our previous good meeting. I wonder if Mr. Yan is willing to discuss things with Jin again today?"
As soon as Jin Jiuling spoke, his aura suddenly increased, and the sharp energy released from his body formed a small vortex next to him, constantly disturbing the surrounding airflow.
The fighting spirit in his body has been forced in front of Yan Ming. It is said to be a sparring match, but it looks like he is forcing Yan Ming to take action.
"Jin Captou, isn't it appropriate for us to have a discussion now?"
The smile on Yan Ming's face also disappeared, and his tone gradually became colder.
"There's nothing inappropriate. In the worst case, we'll stop at that."
Jin Jiuling held one hand on the hilt of the sword and was ready to take action.
The sword intention in his body was ready to go out, and he seemed to be eager to test whether he was better or Yan Ming's sword intention was stronger.
"Yan Captou, please enlighten me!"
Before Jin Jiuling finished speaking, the long sword was already taken out.
Just as soon as it was unsheathed, hundreds of swords appeared in an instant, and the sharp sword light filled the surrounding space.
Mixed in it, there was also the faint sound of swords, with the intention of moving forward in an indomitable way, mixed with the sword light in the sky.
This is the hint of sword intention that Jin Jiuling clearly understood from Yi Shui's song, and he inherited the unique temperament of Yi Shui's song.
"Uh-huh!"
Almost at the same time as Jin Jiuling, the knife in Yan Ming's hand also appeared.
The cold iron sword was raised high, and then slashed down. It seemed that there were no moves, but it seemed that countless exquisite moves were compressed into this slash, making it simple and unpretentious.
The blade cut down instantly, completely different from Jin Jiuling's style.
But the sword intention in it collided with Jin Jiuling's sword intention.
"Buzz..."
The two true meanings fought and entangled with each other, instantly erupting into a harsh buzz.
