After bathing, he used the luck earned from this battle to spend a wave. Yuhuatian rarely had any luck in meditating. After wiping himself clean, he put on new clothes and lay on the bed and fell asleep.
When martial arts reached his level, he could usually last ten days and a half without sleeping, but at this moment, Yu Huatian was not tired physically, but mentally.
After all, so many people were killed in the battle at Longmen Inn. Even if Yu Huatian was not afraid of ghosts and gods, he still had to take good care of himself to avoid being affected by the killings.
Come to this world of rivers and lakes, without the moral and legal constraints of the previous life. Yuhuatian does not object to killing. Even his ideal life is to be free and happy, but he does not want to become a demon who kills innocent people indiscriminately. , losing the last bit of humanity.
However, this night, Yuhuatian slept comfortably, but many people had difficulty falling asleep.
Although less than a day had passed since the battle at Longmen Inn, news gradually spread as masters from various sects escaped from the desert.
After hearing about the terrible battle that took place last night, many martial arts people who had not yet had time to enter the desert fled after hearing the news and did not dare to join in the fun again.
Even the major sects of the time, such as Shaolin and Wudang, were killed and fled. The Money Gang, Emei Sect, Kongtong Sect, Tianzun, Sun Moon God Sect and other forces suffered heavy casualties. The masters of the famous killer organization "Black Stone" even more Almost the entire army was wiped out, even the leader King Chakravartin was dead, and only one of the four gold medal killers escaped, 'Xiaoyu'.
In the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, there were almost only a handful of such brutal and wide-ranging battles.
Every time it happens, it can be called a catastrophe for the world.
No one thought that such a catastrophe would be caused just because of a Dabai Shang national treasure whose authenticity was unknown.
Once this matter spreads throughout the world, it is conceivable that the entire Ming Dynasty will be shaken again, because so many people died in this war, and the martial arts sects behind these people will never give up.
The real storm is yet to come!
Of course, it was also because of this incident that many people became more certain that the news of the treasure was true. Otherwise, how could it have attracted so many martial arts factions, and even the courts of the Ming and Song Dynasties sent people to intervene in this matter?
The treasure moved people's hearts. Some people retreated because of this and did not dare to interfere with the treasure. They were worried that their lives would be taken away. However, some people were greedy and chose to take risks. They continued to lurk in Longmen City to see if they could fish in troubled waters and pick up the treasure. to some benefits.
Some people may not have left due to other reasons, but that’s unknown.
…
The night is dark and windy, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.
At this time, on a tall building in the east of Longmen City, a man in red clothes stood facing the wind. The bright red clothes rustled in the night wind, and his black hair danced in the wind.
Dongfang Bubai stood on the roof with his hands behind his hands, looking quietly in the direction of Jinfeng Tower, with an indifferent expression and no expression.
Not a moment later, a black shadow came rushing from the night wind, flickering in the streets and alleys, then floated up to the roof, knelt down on one knee towards the red man, raised his hands and saluted: "Leader."
Dongfang Bubai didn't look back and said indifferently: "How is the investigation going?"
The black shadow cupped his hands and said: "In the battle last night, three of the four elders died, and only elder Qu Yang is missing. Among the three hall masters, only the master of the Qinglong Hall, the 'Yellow-faced Venerable' Jia Bu, was seriously injured, so he took the lead." The people left the desert and met the leader outside Longmen Pass, but Shangguan Yun and Tong Baixiong disappeared with several masters in the sect after the war."
"According to the inference of my subordinates, they most likely have other ideas, because the disciples who stayed in the city saw the Holy Aunt and Zuo Envoy Xiang Wentian appearing outside the pass last night."
Dongfang Bubai's eyes turned cold: "Yingying is here too? Let me do whatever I want... It seems like she really doesn't want to give up!"
The black shadow said coldly: "Cult Leader, although Shangguan Yun and Tong Baixiong have surrendered to the Cult Leader in recent years, in fact they have been colluding secretly with the Holy Aunt, trying to find out where Ren Woxing is being held and rescue Ren Woxing."
"They escaped early this time. They probably knew where Ren Woxing was being held by the leader and went to rescue him. My subordinates have arranged for people to track down their whereabouts!"
"Besides you and me, there are only a few elders who know where Ren Woxing is being held. Now Qu Yang is not dead, but has disappeared? It seems that he also has a problem!" Dongfang Bubai's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent.
After he replaced Ren Woxing and became the new leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, the reason why he did not kill Ren Woxing but just imprisoned him was not only because he was thinking about his old relationship, but he also wanted to use this to control the sect. This group of old members who had their own way gradually took control of the church.
Unexpectedly, this move made these people feel that there was still hope. This time when the various factions were fighting, these people even abandoned him and fled first.
Do they really think they dare not kill them if they are so bold? !
Dongfang Bubai said coldly: "Inform Xue Qianxun and ask her to immediately lead people to get rid of all those who have problems on Blackwood Cliff. As for Shangguan Yun and the others, I will go and solve it myself!"
In order to win over people's hearts, after Dongfang Bubai became the leader of the cult, he not only did not kill Ren Woxing, he also did not kill Ren Woxing's only daughter Ren Yingying. Instead, he made her the holy aunt of the Sun and Moon God Sect to show his greatness. Degree and tolerance.
But he is not without any precautions. This Xue Qianxun is not only his favorite concubine, but also he has established him as a saint of the Sun and Moon God Sect. She helps handle the affairs within the sect. The purpose is to check and balance Ren Yingying and weaken Ren Yingying. Influential within the church.
"Yes, leader!"
The black shadow saluted respectfully, then he hesitated for a moment, cupped his hands and said: "Leader, there is one more thing. There is news about the woman you asked your subordinates to find out..."
"Um?"
Dongfang Bubai suddenly turned around and stared at him: "Found it?!"
The black shadow's heart trembled, and he did not dare to show off, and quickly replied: "Yu Huatian, the director of the West Factory, previously pretended to be an ordinary Jianghu person. When he was in Qingshan Town, he killed the flower-picking robber Tian Boguang and the Huashan disciple Linghu Chong, and saved a A young nun from the Hengshan sect, this incident caused quite a stir at the time.”
"Later, after investigation by my subordinates, I found that this little nun from the Hengshan Sect is named Yilin. Her life experience and appearance are very similar to what the leader described. Therefore, I guessed that this little nun may be the person you asked me to find. "
"Yilin..."
There was a trace of nervousness in Dongfang Bubai's indifferent eyes. He stretched out his white palm and said without any doubt: "If you have a portrait, bring it to me!"
The shadow did not dare to hesitate and immediately took out a scroll of portraits from his arms.
Dongfang Bubai took the portrait and opened it to look at it, his body trembled slightly: "It's her! It's her..."
Although he hadn't seen her for many years, he still recognized at a glance that the woman in the portrait was his biological sister who had been dependent on him back then!
At that time, he was not Dongfang Bubai, who was frightened by people all over the world. He was just a child from an ordinary family, living with his sister who was several years younger than him.
Later, his hometown was robbed by robbers. In order to protect his sister, he lured the robbers away alone. When his life was hanging on the line, he was rescued by an expert. Then by chance, he joined the Sun and Moon God Sect, and became the most respected and respected figure in the world. The disgusting demonic giant.
Over the years, he has never stopped looking for his sister, but there has been no news. He thought that his sister was dead, but he did not expect that she actually joined the Hengshan Sect and became a little nun of the Hengshan Sect.
The two embarked on a completely different path...
"How is she now..." Dongfang Bubai asked in a harsh voice, with a slight tremor in his tone.
The black shadow's heart tightened, and he quickly said: "Half a month ago, she went out to do business with Master Dingxian, the leader of Hengshan. On the way, she was kidnapped by the flower-picking thief Tian Boguang. Later, she was rescued by Yuhuatian in Qingshan Town. After that, Tian Boguang and the Huashan master who were accompanying him Disciple Linghu Chong died at the hands of Yuhuatian, but this little nun was brought back to the Hengshan Sect by Master Dingxian."
"Tian Boguang, the flower-picking thief? Have a good death!"
Dongfang Bubai said coldly, then turned around and looked in the direction of Jinfeng Tower, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes, and whispered: "The dignified Governor of the West Factory would actually risk exposing his identity in order to save a Hengshan disciple. Take action against the notorious flower-picking bandits and Huashan disciples..."
Black Shadow quickly explained: "It is said that Tian Boguang was killed by Yu Huatian because of his arrogant personality and provocative words. He did not deliberately save others."
"No matter what, it was him who saved me... this little nun."
Dongfang Bubai looked at the black shadow and ordered: "This little nun is very important to me. Send someone to protect her and don't let anything happen to her!"
"Yes, leader!"
Dongfang Bubai nodded slightly, remained silent for a moment, and said: "Let's forget about the treasure. There should be many martial arts sects in the city who are still determined to give up. Send a copy of the information we found to Jinfeng Tower and give it to Yuhuatian. His subordinates should return the favor to him."
The black shadow frowned and said: "Cult Leader, he killed many of our Holy Cult disciples last night..."
"That's enough!" Dongfang Bubai interrupted coldly: "After sending the information to him, this matter will be cleared up. From now on, as long as he doesn't deal with us, we won't provoke him."
Heiying was a little puzzled. Who was this little nun named Yilin? How could the leader pay so much attention to her?
But he didn’t dare to ask any more questions, so he cupped his hands and said, “Yes!”
Dongfang Bubai didn't say anything more. He turned around again, took a deep look at the tightly guarded Jinfeng Tower, then turned around, flashed slightly, and disappeared into the night.
Yuhuatian, I don’t like to owe favors. You saved my sister. I will return this favor to you sooner or later...
…
The next day, the morning light enveloped Longmen City.
Yuhuatian woke up from his sleep, got up and washed himself casually, opened the door and walked out.
Since his identity has been exposed, Yuhuatian does not continue to hide. At this moment, the entire Jinfeng Tower has been taken over by the West Factory. It is full of experts and Jinyiwei from the West Factory inside and outside, and the defense is very tight.
The three major stalls of Xichang and the five thousand households of Jinyiwei had also woken up long ago and were standing guard outside the door. When Yu Huatian came out, everyone hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:
"Subordinates, please see the Governor!"
"This is a humble job, sir!"
Yuhuatian looked up and saw that after a night of rest, everyone was in much better spirits. Although a few people were seriously injured, they looked much better after treatment and bandaging. At least, their movements should not be affected. .
"What's going on over there at Longmen Inn?"
Yuhuatian asked.
Ji Xueyong stepped forward, raised his hands and said: "To the Governor, after the battle the night before yesterday, all the people from all the major sects in Longmen Inn were gone. At this moment, except for the innkeeper and the waiters, only the Tatars are still there. .”
Yuhuatian also has an impression of that group of Tatars. Maybe it was because of them that the various factions gathered at Longmen Inn this time.
But just a few of them dared to interfere with the treasure. They were really desperate!
A sneer flashed in Yu Huatian's eyes, he looked at Ji Xueyong, and continued to ask: "Where is the city? How many martial arts people are left to die?"
Ji Xueyong replied: "After the battle the night before yesterday, all the martial arts sects left one after another. After the news came out, many martial arts people also fled, but there are also some people who have not received the news and are rushing here. At this moment, the city There are also a few well-known sects and some martial arts masters gathered together.”
"By the way, Lord Governor, the brothers who were keeping watch this morning found this on the window..."
Ji Xueyong said and handed over a note.
Yu Huatian took it and spread it out, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Yue Buqun of the Huashan School, Lu Xiaofeng with Four Eyebrows, Hua Manlou of the Jiangnan Flower Family, Ding Peng of the Full Moon Scimitar, Fu Hongxue, Yan Shisan..."
Both those who like to join in the fun and those who don’t like to join in the fun are here!
Yu Huatian looked at Ji Xueyong: "Do you know who sent this note?"
Ji Xueyong shook his head: "It's not clear yet, but to be able to deliver the note to the inn under such strict defense like ours, this person must have extremely high Qinggong! Lord Governor, do you want your subordinates to send someone to check?"
"No need to waste time."
Yu Huatian waved his hand and said: "Since this person has sent us the news, no matter how good his martial arts skills are, he should have no malicious intentions. There is no need to investigate. Please hurry up and get out of the confinement first."
"yes!"
Everyone handed over, and then immediately left, and began to arrange manpower, preparing to leave the customs again and enter the desert.
After the battle on the rainy night the day before yesterday, Yuhuatian's layout has been exposed, and at this moment those forces who also wanted to seize the treasure have been driven away, so this time Yuhuatian did not hide his whereabouts anymore, and went directly out of the city with great fanfare, towards Longmen Rush outside the customs.
More than 700 Xichang fanzi raised the banner of Xichang, followed by more than 2,000 Jinyi guards, with a huge momentum.
After the commotion of the people in the world these days, as well as the battle the night before yesterday, there were no people at the border. Even the caravans that originally liked to take this road were temporarily stopped, almost deliberately to make room for the fight for the treasure.
Even if there were a few nearby villagers occasionally on the road, after seeing the flag of Xichang, they were so frightened that they hurriedly ran away, not daring to take another look.
In this era, whether they are martial arts people or officers and soldiers of the imperial court, ordinary people need to stay away from them. This has to be said to be a tragedy of the times.
…
Yu Huatian was wearing a brand new python robe, still favoring the silver color. He had a Heavenly Sword hanging on his waist and was riding a horse ahead.
Behind them are Ma Jinliang, Ding Xiu, Ji Xueyong, Zhao Tong, Zheng Yuan and Jinyiwei five thousand households.
The broad and fat Second Taibao Li Jiang, the Eighth Taibao Huang Chihu who carries a nine-ring machete on his shoulder, the Ninth Taibao Xiao Ce who holds a black sword, the Thirteenth Taibao Lu Wenzhao who holds a large imperial saber, and the Eleventh Taibao Jiang Yi who carries a embroidered spring knife. Fan.
Qian Chaofeng, the third Taibao, died in the battle the night before yesterday. It is said that he died after being surrounded by people from the Ming Cult.
In addition to these people, there are also several skilled masters in Xichang and Jinyiwei, such as the three brothers Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan under Lu Wenzhao.
This force is enough to easily destroy any first-class sect in the world, including the Ming Cult, which claims to have tens of thousands of followers, and will never dare to take advantage of it.
After all, although the Ming Cult claims to have tens of thousands of followers, let alone the quantity, even in terms of quality, it is absolutely incomparable to Jin Yiwei.
Most of the sects in the martial arts world recruit rabble-rousers, but those who can join Xichang and Jinyiwei are basically elites. They are proficient in tracking, investigating cases, and martial arts. Even those who are not proficient in it will be given the opportunity after entering the yamen. You practice until you are proficient, otherwise you won’t be able to stay in it at all.
After all, there are only a few related households like the second Taibao Li Jiang.
But despite this, there are still people who are not afraid of death and dare to join in the fun...
As soon as the team left Longmen Pass, they saw a group of people in various costumes standing outside the pass. They had obviously just left the pass not long ago.
After seeing the team in the West Factory, this group of people not only did not avoid it, several of them even stopped and stood there waiting, looking at the people in the West Factory with interest.
Most of their eyes were focused on Yuhuatian.
"Lord Lord!"
Ma Jinliang and others rode up, looking at the group of daring people in the world, frowning, and then with a cold look in their eyes, they asked Yuhuatian if they wanted to take action.
"Don't be impatient for a moment. Let's go up and have a look."
Yuhuatian said calmly, then rode forward and walked towards the few Jianghu people blocking the way.
Standing at the front was a man in his thirties, wearing a dark red shirt. He was quite handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dignified appearance. However, he had two mustaches on his lips, and It was trimmed very neatly, almost as long as the eyebrows, and looked a little weird.
"Four eyebrows, Lu Xiaofeng?"
Yu Huatian said calmly. Who else could be dressed like this besides Lu Xiaofeng, a nosy knight who has become famous in the world in recent years and likes to make friends everywhere?
Sure enough, seeing Yu Huatian recognize his identity at a glance, a smile immediately appeared on Lu Xiaofeng's face, she walked forward with a smile, cupped her hands and said: "This should be Eunuch Yu from Xichang, right? It is said that Yu from Xichang My father-in-law is the most beautiful man in the court, his grace is extraordinary, comparable to the immortals in the world, and seeing you today, he truly deserves his reputation!"
Yuhuatian ignored his flattery and said calmly: "What do you want to do when you block the governor's way?"
While speaking, Yu Huatian's eyes swept over the people around him.
There was a young man in white clothes like snow, with a gentle expression, who could make people fall in love with him just by looking at him. However, his eyes were dim, without light, and could not focus. He seemed to have missing eyes. The other man was wearing a red coat with black lining. He was holding a black-sheathed sword in his hand. His right shoulder was slightly shorter, and he obviously had a disease in his right foot. However, he was still handsome, but his expression was cold, and he seemed not very interested in anything.
"Huamanlou, Fu Hongxue?"
A trace of solemnity appeared in Yuhuatian's eyes. As expected, they are all people blessed by destiny, especially Fu Hongxue. Yuhuatian actually sensed a hint of crisis from him.
In other words, Fu Hongxue's sword skills are very likely to threaten him!
Noticing Yu Huatian's gaze, Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Let me introduce to my father-in-law, these two are my good friends, the young master of the Hua family in the south of the Yangtze River, Hua Manlou, and the other one is the No. 1 Bai Xiaosheng weapon spectrum Fu Hongxue is the descendant of the six-year-old Bai family's magic sword, the Master of the Magic Sword Hall, Bai Baiyu."
"The three of us came here this time because we heard about the discovery of a treasure from the Great White Kingdom in the desert, and wanted to join in the fun..."
Fu Hongxue interrupted coldly: "You are just joining in the fun, but I am not. I heard that Ding Peng is also here, so I came to see him."
The corner of Lu Xiaofeng's mouth twitched: "It all means the same thing anyway, why are you worrying so much about it?"
Yu Huatian glanced at Fu Hongxue and looked at Lu Xiaofeng, with no expression on his face: "There is some excitement and you can't just join in the fun. Previously, various sects also came to join in the fun, but a lot of people died the night before yesterday. With you It’s impossible that we haven’t heard of Lu Xiaofeng’s connections.”
"Of course I have heard about it, but don't worry, father-in-law, I am different from them. They are either here for the treasure, or to slay demons and protect the Tao. I, Lu Xiaofeng, do nothing. I just want to see what happened to Dabai Shangguo three hundred years ago. What kind of king are you? I hope my father-in-law can fulfill my wish."
Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile.
Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "If you want to follow, then go ahead, but if you interfere in other things and ruin my plan, you should understand the consequences."
Lu Xiaofeng is different from ordinary knights in the martial arts world. He has friends in the Jianghu and the imperial court. He is also very righteous and likes to fight injustices. He sometimes helps the imperial court to arrest some heinous martial arts masters. The relationship is very good.
So as long as he doesn't sabotage his actions, Yu Huatian doesn't mind giving him face.
Lu Xiaofeng was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "Don't worry, father-in-law, it will never happen."
"Let's go."
Yu Huatian said no more, lightly pulled the reins, and continued walking forward.
Lu Xiaofeng and the others quickly followed.
Many nearby Jianghu people who also came to join in the fun saw this and cast envious glances at the three of them. They also wanted to be like Lu Xiaofeng and have face in the Jianghu court. Unfortunately, with their status, if they dared to block the way like Lu Xiaofeng, they would only They were afraid that what would greet them would not be the goodwill of the governor of Xichang, but the random swordsmanship of Xichang and Jinyiwei.
However, they were not quite sure about the location of the treasure. Seeing that Yuhuatian had no intention of driving them away, many of them took courage and followed the Xichang team from a distance.
Yu Huatian glanced back and didn't pay much attention. There is always a shortage of people who are not afraid of death in this world. Although the main opponents for robbing the treasures were almost killed the night before, they may not be safe next time.
These people can follow if they want. Anyway, as long as they don't interfere with the treasure and don't destroy his plan, they can live and die on their own. If anyone dares to have ideas about the treasure, it's nothing more than adding some luck to themselves.
Shaking his head, Yuhuatian speeded up slightly and rushed towards the Longmen Inn.
But after walking for a while, Yu Huatian frowned and suddenly realized something was wrong. He reined in the reins and looked up at the road ahead.
The scorching sun was high, shining on the path in the middle of the desert. A tall figure wearing a black gown and holding a long black sheath sword stood quietly in the middle of the path.
One person and one sword blocked the entire Xichang team.
Yuhuatian looked at the figure in the distance and felt a familiar sword intent. It was the 'Thirteen Life-Destroying Swords' that he had practiced.
Combined with the personnel information on the note he received in the morning, Yuhuatian instantly recognized the identity of the swordsman——
"Yan Shisan..."

Two chapters in one, I originally wanted to divide them into chapters, but the following paragraph is about the protagonist’s change of state of mind after comprehending the Fourteenth Sword. It’s a bit stuck, but it just has some ideas. I haven’t figured out how to write it in detail, so I just put it together. I posted it together first. If you have any good suggestions, please mention them in the comment area to see if they can resonate with your soul and make me think like a fountain...
