When Mu Rong Qianji opened his mouth to speak, naturally Xie Sancai would not say a single word of rejection as he laughed apologetically: “Then let him come in to speak some. However, this person is rather crafty and one cannot help but guard against him.”
Mu Rong Qianji did not speak a word as he only smiled lightly. What a joke, with his sharp eyes, normal people would not possibly have the courage to lie through their teeth before him.
In a moment, Dong Xiong was led in by the subordinate of the Prefecture Lord. This Dong Xiong was a quick-witted person. Although he was not as mistrustful as General Manager Su, his little schemes and calculations were greater than General Manager Su’s.
He bowed respectfully and stood to the side looking well-behaved. He was not in a rush to speak because he knew that this was the manor of the Prefecture Lord.
If the Prefecture Lord did not speak a word, then it was not his turn to speak.
Xie Sancai examined Dong Xiong: “You are Deacon Dong of the Dark Green Cloud Daoist sect, right?”
Dong Xiong smiled apologetically: “That’s me, it’s a surprise that you have heard my name, Prefecture Lord.”
Xie Sancai was the lord of a prefecture. Regardless of his individual strength or position, he was no less than the Honored Daoist warriors of the Dark Green Cloud Daoist sect. Before Dong Xiong, naturally he had the qualification to be ostentatious.
And Dong Xiong knew this point deep in his heart. Thus, in between his words, he had showcased extreme deference.
Xie Sancai did not answer. He drank some tea and said in a neither slow nor fast speed: “Do you have some urgent things to report by coming to my manor?”
Rather, Xie Sancai felt somewhat annoyed at this Dong Xiong inwardly. After all, Dong Xiong had said that he would regret it if he did not see him. This made Xie Sancai feel that he had lost face before Mu Rong Qianji.
Hearing Xie Sancai asking the question, Dong Xiong said with a smile: “I heard that your VIP guest at your manor had issued a bounty. I had heard some information recently. Thus, I came to report it to you personally.”
After Xie Sancai heard these words, he could not help but look towards Mu Rong Qianji.
Mu Rong Qianji frowned slightly: “Please speak of the information.”
Dong Xiong immediately said: “Recently, I received information that Qin Wushuang and his two subordinates are disguised as three brothers making their way through the Xuan Yuan Mound under the name of Wu Xinghe. This person also participated in the battle of the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan and annihilated the invading teams of freelance martial artists by working against them from inside and out. This person also appeared at the Orderly Mountain capital city two days ago.”
“Wu Xinghe?” Mu Rong Qianji lightly mumbled this name.
“Yes, two nights ago, most likely he was present at the Freelance Martial Artist Union and heard everyone talking about that assassination warrant from the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect.”
Xie Sancai had laughed: “Dong Xiong, do you have any proof for your words?”
“To not hide it from you, these are all information from my friend who had participated in that battle with Chen Sen. And he was the one that invited me to chase after those three. Initially, I thought that he was chasing to kill a foe. I didn’t know that person was Qin Wushuang. This Qin Wushuang had changed his name into Wu Xinghe and joined his team. Unfortunately, my friend has died. He only told me this shocking news before his death. I rushed here immediately after I learned this news.”
“This way, you are rather thoughtful.” One did not know whether Xie Sanci was complimenting him or mocking him.
However, Dong Xiong put up an “extremely terrified” appearance as he answered while lowering his body: “You are flattering me, Prefecture Lord, I only felt…”
Naturally, Mu Rong Qianji had no interest hearing him pledging loyalty as he asked: “Then where has this Wu Xinghe gone now?”
“He went to the north. I think he should be heading to the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan.”
A complicated look appeared in Mu Rong Qianji’s eyes. He only nodded after a moment: “Ok.”
He turned to speak to Xie Sancai: “Prefecture Lord, I will leave one hundred thousand gold crystal stones to you. If the information is true, I will inform you through a letter. By that time, please give the reward to this person.”
Xie Sancai laughed: “How could you give the money, Lord Mu Rong? Of course I should advance the funds for you.”
“Please do not decline. I have troubled you quite a bit in these past few days. In the future, I will come to thank you. If you are free, please feel free to visit the Floating Snow House.”
Mu Rong Qianji’s conventional offer made Xie Sancai feel extremely comfortable as he said: “Of course. If I am able to visit the Floating Snow House while I’m still alive, my life will not have been in vain.”
…
At this moment, Qin Wushuang and his two friends arrived before another endless mountain range. By observing the map, Qin Wushuang knew that this should be the highest mountain, Crest Mountain, besides the Divine Finger Mountain at the Judge Mountain prefecture.
Since this Crest Mountain had a less advantageous terrain than the Divine Finger Mountain, it was not occupied by sects. Because of this, this Crest Mountain was a famous place for freelance martial artists gathering at the Judge Mountain prefecture.
This Crest Mountain also contained different beautiful legends. Historically, all different legends at the Crest Mountain had almost carried some mystical color.
With these beautiful legends, this Crest Mountain should be occupied by sects. However, the only defect was that this Crest Mountain was a volcano. It was an active volcano and would often erupt.
Although to martial artists, volcanic eruption might not threaten their lives. To a sect, it’s definitely unreliable to build a foundation where they could be annihilated at any time.
Thus, this Crest Mountain was rather a piece of undeveloped pure land.
“Second, Third. This Crest Mountain is ten thousand miles away from that Divine Finger Mountain. I plan to stop and reorganize at this place.”
With a sophisticated mind, Bao Bao revealed a surprised look: “Boss, could it be that you are going to breakthrough?”
Qin Wushuang nodded: “After that battle with that General Manager Su, I sensed that some mysterious and inscrutable twist of fate was triggered. The signal sent from my body is becoming more obvious. For this breakthrough, the signal from my body is extremely proactive and clear. It is completely different than the ones in the past.”
Bao Bao and Lone were overjoyed. Naturally, since they had been through this change, they knew that this was the sign for one advancing into the Void Martial Stage from the Spiritual Martial Force.
Such advancement was not a climb in the same stage, but an advancement across a stage. This advancement was equivalent to turning over a new leaf and achieving a complete upgrade in level.
Thus, the violent reaction from the bodies was reasonable.
“Boss, congratulation, this way, you are going to enter the ranks of the Void Martial Stage!”
“Ha Ha, it’s truly a good news. In the future, we will all be at the Refined Void Martial Stage! Even if we encounter one at the Profound Void Martial Stage, with Boss’s equipment and talent, we should be able to match them. Third, we better catch up so as to not drag our Boss down!”
The Purple Flame Electric Beast was also strangely excited and said to Bao Bao.
Bao Bao said with smiles of exultation: “That’s right, Boss, when you enter the Refined Void Martial Stage, Second and I most likely would not win against you.”
Lone chuckled: “Are you stupid, why would Boss beat us?”
Currently, Qin Wushuang was rather calm. Ever since he had stepped onto the path of martial arts, the greatest surprise was naturally when he had suddenly discovered being in the Upper Sky Spiritual Martial Force.
Ever since that surprise, through each of the breakthrough afterwards, Qin Wushuang had become more and more calm and carefree.
Now, although it would be an advancement across a boundary, he controlled his emotion extremely well.
Without a doubt, having the strength of the Void Martial Stage in the human countries would make one invincible. However, he had entered the Xuan Yuan Mound, this giant stage. To him, entering the Void Martial Stage only meant just stepping onto the road. The challenges he would face in the future would be far tougher than one at the Refined Void Martial Stage could handle.
What he needed to do was not to feel proud, but to have his feet firmly planted on the ground and take each step forward.
While he talked, suddenly, Lone thought about one thing as he pulled out an object from his chest. It was a storage ring.
“Boss, I almost forgot. This is the thing that fell from his body after you had killed that General Manager Su”
“It’s a storage ring!” Bao Bao’s eyes became eager as he urged, “Open it.”
In the end, this General Manager Su was only a mere freelance martial artist, who had a slightly higher strength. This storage ring did not have any rich and substantial materials as Qin Wushuang had thought.
Besides the crystal stones, there were four pieces of Daoist talisman and one secret technique book. Three words were written on the secret technique book—”Pupil Attachment Technique”.
While Qin Wushuang held it in his hand, he could not help but feel itchy inwardly as he flipped it through. After flipping through a few pages, Qin Wushuang was astonished.
Being a grandmaster of the martial artist, he could see that this “Pupil Attachment Technique” was not a bluff, but genuinely existed.
The fundamental principle of this technique was to train the two pupils. It would use the natural element of the lights to form a miraculous focus and to lay a formless imprint on the enemy.
This was the whole concept behind the entire “Pupil Attachment Technique”.
The minimum requirement to practice the “Pupil Attachment Technique” required one to be at the Void Martial Stage. Only then, one could merge the pupil technique into the void and lay the imprint on the bodies of enemies without them noticing.
In other words, for those at the Spiritual Martial Force, even those at the Perfect Stage, were not eligible to practice this “Pupil Attachment Technique”.
“Boss, this, I am going to practice it!” Bao Bao was the first one to yell.
Lone did not dare to fall behind: “Me too!”
Qin Wushuang said with a smile: “Everyone will get their share. It’s never a bad thing to have an extra talent.”
Bao Bao laughed: “That’s right, Boss, let’s train at this Crest Mountain for a while. You can aim to breakthrough as soon as possible while the two of us set up a line of defense for you. At the same time, we will practice this “Pupil Attachment Technique”, what do you think?”
“I planned on this.” Qin Wushuang said with a smile, “Which one of you want this storage ring?”
Bao Bao was well-behaved as he said: “Of course it should be distributed according to order. This time it will belong to Second, next time it will be me, what do you think?”
Hearing him saying this way, Lone was rather embarrassed: “Third, are you letting me having it?”
Qin Wushuang laughed: “It will be distributed this way.”
Regarding the size, this Crest Mountain could directly match up to the Divine Finger Mountain. It’s depth had even surpassed the Divine Finger Mountain. Despite having extraordinary skills, Qin Wushuang and his friends did not dare to be negligent. While taking each step carefully and ensuring that there were no potential danger, they chose an extremely quiet place as Qin Wushuang’s solitary training ground.
However, this time, Qin Wushuang did not plan to breakthrough through with just solitary training. During their travels, Qin Wushuang had also been searching and thinking about the training boundaries.
Unnoticeably, along the trip, Qin Wushuang could feel that his boundaries have continued to increase. It had been a course of events where water flows, a canal was filled.
This time, not only would Qin Wushuang breakthrough his boundaries, he also planned to achieve a significant breakthrough over his cognitive knowledge in martial arts!
