Chapter 169 Appearing Late at Night, Three Sects, Two Courtyards and One Villa!

Wei Hongbin sat on the main seat, his face gloomy, and he said nothing.

He didn't speak, and the generals and captains under him also lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing.

Suddenly.

Wei Hongbin said: "Has Lin Shiguo's body been hung in front of the door of Dingtai Martial Arts Hall?"

One person stepped forward and said with a bow.

"Yes, commander, just now the spies reported that two poles were erected in front of the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall, and the bodies of Deputy General Lin and Yuan Chenfeng were hung on the poles."

There was a slight commotion among the crowd.

Many people looked shocked and terrified.

As colleagues for many years, they naturally knew Lin Shiguo's family background, and they also knew that he and Commander Wei Hongbin had been friends since they were young.

But now he was killed, and even the body was not spared, and was hung on the pole for public display.

This is no longer a provocation, it is simply a slap in Wei Hongbin's face.

The commander will definitely not give up, and he will probably send troops to wipe out Dingtai Martial Arts School soon.

This thought came to everyone's mind.

But unexpectedly, Wei Hongbin's face did not show much anger, but nodded calmly.

"Okay, I know, you go down first."

Everyone couldn't believe their ears.

Just... go down?

Shouldn't the army be dispatched immediately to wipe out these lawless martial arts forces?

But military orders are like mountains. Since Wei Hongbin has spoken, everyone dared not disobey. They clasped their fists and saluted, and then left.

After they left, only Wei Hongbin and a few of his trusted family members were left in the hall. They were all people who served him when he was in the capital and were absolutely reliable.

In front of these people, Wei Hongbin finally took off his disguise and suddenly overturned the table in front of him.

Crash.

The four treasures of the study and teacups on it were all smashed.

Even so, Wei Hongbin was still angry.

"I am so angry. These warriors rely on their own strength and are so lawless that they dare to kill even the son of aristocratic family. I will kill them."

These servants are used to this. Only one of the older servants said, "Commander, calm down. Don't get angry over these trivial matters."

Wei Hongbin was quite obedient. He took a deep breath and the anger on his face slowly faded. After he calmed down completely, he said, "Have the masters sent by the family arrived?"

"Commander, no, but I received a message from the post station this morning saying that these two masters have arrived in Fengyan County, which is only a few hundred miles away from our Yunxiao County. They will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest, or tomorrow at the fastest."

"Okay." Wei Hongbin was in high spirits. "Once the two masters sent by the family arrive, we will immediately wipe out this group of warriors. No one will be left alive and they will all be killed."

At the end, Wei Hongbin's eyes were full of undisguised murderous intent.

The reason why he has been patient and has not taken action until now is that he is always worried about his own safety.

Although there are no fifth-level warriors in the city, and the strongest is only half a step into the fifth level, the son of a wealthy family cannot sit in the hall.

For the sake of his own safety, Wei Hongbin wrote a letter to the family in the capital as early as when he entered the city.

In addition to introducing the situation of Yunxiao County, the letter also sought help, hoping that the family could send him a few fifth-level masters to protect his safety and suppress the situation.

Because of the long journey, Wei Hongbin did not receive a reply until half a month ago.

The content of the letter was very brief. In addition to reminding Wei Hongbin to defend the county city, it told him that the family had sent him two masters and had already set off.

Since then, Wei Hongbin has been looking forward to it day and night, hoping that the masters sent by the family can arrive one day earlier.

This is also the reason why he has been keeping his troops in place.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Lin Shiguo was in trouble.

Although he wanted to attack Dingtai Martial Arts Hall right now, Wei Hongbin was told by reason that he should not act rashly.

Especially since the news that Zhao Ya had been promoted to the Half-Step Five Realm had spread, Wei Hongbin became even more nervous.

After all, although Lu Dingtai was unconscious, his apprentice had now become a Half-Step Five Realm warrior, taking his place.

In this way, there were at least three Half-Step Five Realm warriors in the city. If they were to target him with all their strength, he would be in danger unless he hid in the government office and did not go anywhere.

"Forget it, I'll just endure it for two more days at most. When the reinforcements arrive, I will blast you to pieces." Wei Hongbin thought with gritted teeth.

At the same time, in the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall, Zhao Ya finished his daily homework and wiped the sweat off his face.

"Panel."

He muttered in his heart, and then a light curtain appeared in front of him.

Name: Zhao Ya. Age: 19 years old. Remaining lifespan: 388 (+347 days) years

Skills: Eight-part Vajra Longevity Skill (54% of the peak)

Five Tiger Fist (8% of the return to the original nature)

Wild Wind Sword Skill (13% of the return to the original nature)

Light as a Swallow (99% of the peak)

Breath Control Skill (99% of the peak)

Big Stone Smashing Hand (4% of the peak)

Big Vajra Fist (7% of the peak)

Golden Body Skill (4979/5000 of the peak)

[Lung unlocking progress: 9%]

Looking at this dazzling data, Zhao Ya couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

After he passed two levels and was promoted to the Half-Step Five Realm, his life span suddenly increased by nearly a hundred years.

Zhao Ya knew that this should be related to the fact that he had cleared the turbid and evil air from his blood.

Now Zhao Ya's blood and qi are as pure as a baby, and his internal organs are even more pure and flawless. Except for some turbid and evil air remaining in his bone marrow, Zhao Ya's body has reached the ultimate of the acquired nature.

In this case, it is not surprising that his life span increased sharply.

Secondly, except for the Golden Body Art, all other martial arts skills have been promoted to the peak or higher level of returning to the original state.

In this way, Zhao Ya's strength has reached the ultimate that he can achieve in his current realm.

With the blessing of the talents of the major internal organs and his strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, Zhao Ya is even confident that he can fight against the martial artists of the Fifth Realm.

Many people would not believe this if they were told.

After all, although it is only half a step away, the gap between the Fifth Realm and the Half-Step Five Realm is huge, if not like clouds and mud.

But Zhao Ya has this confidence.

The only thing missing now is that the light-as-a-swallow body technique has been stuck at the pinnacle for a long time. That 1% is like a natural chasm that is difficult to cross.

Even though Zhao Ya has frequently communicated with colleagues from various martial arts schools in order to improve himself, and especially paid attention to absorbing the essence of light-as-a-swallow body techniques from various schools, he still has not been able to break through except for a slight improvement in body technique speed.

In desperation, Zhao Ya had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​a breakthrough.

He had a premonition that he should have encountered a bottleneck in light-as-a-swallow body technique. If he wanted to break through, it would be extremely difficult to cross unless there was a higher level of light-as-a-swallow body technique for reference.

Fortunately, this body technique is enough now, so Zhao Ya didn't care too much, but secretly made up his mind to find a way to get this higher level of light-as-a-swallow body technique.

Unexpectedly, the breath-retaining technique has quietly reached the 99% barrier of the pinnacle.

However, this method of restraining breath and hiding the body shape is no longer of much use to Zhao Ya now.

Because after reaching the Half-Step Five Realm, Zhao Ya can control the opening of his pores.

After closing all the pores, the effect of hiding breath is similar when no breath is leaked out.

It is just that with the blessing of the breath-holding technique, it may be easier to enter this state.

But it does not have much effect on his own strength, especially the actual combat ability that is urgently needed now, so Zhao Ya did not pay much attention to it.

In addition, the most worthy breakthrough is the Golden Body Art.

This horizontal training method obtained from the fifth master of Qingzhu Ridge can greatly enhance his own defense ability.

The reason why Zhao Ya broke through the skin grinding realm so quickly before was largely due to it.

But now its progress has become slow, and no matter how Zhao Ya practices, it has little effect. He has been stuck at the last dozen points of proficiency and cannot enter the peak realm.

However, today's communication with Jin Zhenming gave Zhao Ya a lot of inspiration.

He practiced the horizontal training method purely by his own exploration, and even his master Lu Dingtai could not help him much.

But Jin Zhenming was different.

He was a master of body training, and his horizontal training skills were extremely powerful, so he was naturally experienced.

In this case, although it was just a few brief exchanges, it gave Zhao Ya a feeling of enlightenment.

Now he was confident that he could break through the Golden Body Art to the pinnacle within a day or two.

While thinking about how to practice in the future, Zhao Ya suddenly felt something in his heart and looked up at the door.

Then he said to Zui'er.

"Stay in the house and don't go anywhere."

After saying that, Zhao Ya flashed out of the door, and then saw a person standing on the wall in the distance.

When he saw Zhao Ya go out, the man turned around and left, flashing into the night.

Zhao Ya did not hesitate and followed him.

With his current strength, he left the scope of Dingtai Martial Arts Hall with just a few leaps and came to a remote corner.

Then he saw a man with a simple face standing on the wasteland waiting for him.

There were two people standing behind him.

One was the young scholar who led him here, and the other was a beautiful woman.

After seeing these three people, Zhao Ya narrowed his eyes slightly and was shocked.

Fifth realm!

All three of them were genuine fifth realm warriors!

Not only that, Zhao Ya smelled the faint scent of powder in the air again.

No need to ask.

The people who had been spying on him in secret before were them.

Zhao Ya remained calm and held a medicine bag in his hand.

It contained the poison he had recently improved and prepared based on the inspiration of Yuan Chenfeng's medicine bag.

Although he had not tested it on fifth realm warriors, since half-step fifth realm was not immune at all, it could at least interfere with the blood and qi of fifth realm warriors.

And as long as he could stop them a little, he could take the opportunity to slip away.

However, this was the worst plan made by Zhao Ya out of caution.

The reason why he followed was because he didn't sense any murderous intent, only a hint of curiosity.

It was the same now, none of these three people had any murderous aura.

Despite this, Zhao Ya still stood at a safe enough distance and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that ordinary people rarely see five-level warriors, and now there are three of them."

The honest man in the lead smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, we have no ill will towards you."

Zhao Ya always felt that this honest man looked at her in a strange way, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Three of you are top warriors, so your time must be precious, so you brought me here at night. You can't just chat. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

The honest man was Wang Tiancheng from the Golden Blade Academy. At this moment, he was looking at Zhao Ya with admiration, as if he were looking at a piece of uncut jade. After hearing Zhao Ya's words, he Smile slightly.

"That's good. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wang Tiancheng. I come from the Golden Sword Academy in the capital. These two are Gu Chaoyue from the Mirror Moon Sect and Xu Nianran from the Wu Nian Academy."

Capital City, Golden Sword Academy, Mirror Moon Sect, and Wu Nian Academy.

Zhao Ya was stunned by these familiar names and couldn't help but said: "Three sects, two courtyards and one villa?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Tiancheng and the other two people all looked surprised.

They didn't expect that Zhao Ya actually knew the name of his sect.

You must know that although the three sects, two courtyards and one villa are famous in the capital, the territory of Dayan is too vast. In addition, because of the wars and impassable roads, news from various places has been isolated.

It would be fine if it was close, but Yunxiao County is thousands of miles away from the capital, so many people have never heard of the name of Three Sects, Two Courtyards and One Villa.

Zhao Ya could find out, which naturally surprised them.

It was Wang Tiancheng who took the lead and said with a smile: "Yes, it seems that your information is very well-informed."

Zhao Ya said nothing.

The reason why he knew these people's sects was entirely due to Shang Luoluo's introduction.

This Shang Luoluo didn't know where he got the information, and he knew the situation in the capital thousands of miles away.

However, he knew that Zhao Ya didn't feel that he had anything to do with these people, so he remained silent and waited for these three people to speak first.

"You must have guessed that it was the three of us who were spying on you in the dark before." Wang Tiancheng said.

"And the reason why we spy on you is because I am interested in you."

Zhao Yan's face suddenly darkened, and she almost threw the medicine bag in her hand.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to be interested when I say you are interested, but I think your talents and qualifications are very good." Wang Tiancheng hurriedly explained.

"But at that time you were only in the fourth realm, which was a bit too low for us, so I didn't have direct contact with you until two days ago when you broke through to the fifth realm."

A glimmer of light flashed in Wang Tiancheng's eyes, "This cultivation progress is second to none even in the capital, so I decided to show up to talk to you."

"After saying so much, what do you mean?" Zhao Ya asked coldly.

"It's very simple. I hope you can become a disciple of the Golden Blade Academy. As long as you agree, I can make the decision for my master and accept you. From now on, you will be my little junior brother. How about it?" Wang Tiancheng said with a sincere face. .
