Chapter 12 Ye Shu is kidnapped
[Mysterious Female Qi Technique (Minor Success): 15%]
The moment the smoke appeared, it transformed into a massive amount of information, flooding into Xu Yan's mind.
In the blink of an eye, he had cultivated the Mysterious Female Qi Technique to the minor completion stage.
The mysterious female energy within the body rapidly grew stronger, overflowing from the lower dantian and surging towards the middle dantian in the chest.
Xu Yan closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the flow and changes of energy within his body, a smile appearing on his lips.
"After achieving minor success, his realm broke through, and his Xuanpin Qi more than doubled in strength."
The smoke in front of me condensed again, turning into a few lines of text.
【Xu Yan】
[Realm Level: Mid-stage of Daoist Canon]
[Mental Technique: Mysterious Female Qi Technique (Minor Success): 15%]
[Technique: Three Blades of Breaking the Qi (Mastery): 5%]
Originally, there was no progress in the Three Breaking Stances Strike, but after fighting five blood corpses alone, his swordsmanship improved by 5%.
"According to the cultivation rules of the Mysterious Female Qi Technique, when the middle dantian is filled with the Mysterious Female Qi, it is the peak of the middle stage."
"The next step is to open up the upper dantian."
Xu Yan rubbed his chin, thinking to himself, "Judging from this, I must find a way to obtain Master Wang's thumb ring."
"As for swordsmanship... it seems that only Officer Chen's long sword contains a little bit of sword intent at the moment."
"Both of these two have grudges against me, and I must resolve this as soon as possible."
Xu Yan was fully aware of the current situation.
How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?
If these two are not eliminated, he will never have a peaceful day in Anping County.
Thinking of this, he sat cross-legged on the bed.
"Let's leave it at that for tonight and wait until we've had enough rest before making our plans."
……
The night passed quickly.
The next day, at the first light of dawn.
A commotion could be heard from the streets and alleys.
People get up early, either setting up stalls or gathering at alley entrances to chat.
Occasionally, women could be seen pulling at each other, stepping aside, and whispering gossip about the streets and alleys.
Xu Yan opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
Before my eyes, smoke appeared and condensed into words.
[Mysterious Female Qi Technique (Minor Success): 20%]
After a night of cultivation, my progress in the cultivation technique increased by another 5%.
Although it may not seem like much, every bit of progress made Xu Yan feel more at ease.
"Let's go explore the market again today. If we can find something good, we might be able to make further progress."
Xu Yan made up her mind, quickly washed up, went to the street not far away, ate a simple breakfast, and prepared to go to the market.
"Snapped!"
Before Xu Yan could leave, footsteps suddenly came from behind.
Xu Yan turned around and frowned slightly.
A ragged beggar approached, clutching a piece of paper tightly in his hand, looking terrified.
When Xu Yan's gaze swept over, cold sweat broke out on the beggar's forehead.
"Sir... someone gave me some money and asked me to give this to you."
As a notorious black coroner in Anping County, Xu Yan had a great reputation, which was naturally known to these well-informed beggars, making them feel a lot of pressure.
Xu Yan took the paper but didn't open it. He asked, "What does that person look like?"
The beggar quickly shook his head: "He was wearing a veil, and all I know is that he was a man. As for anything else... I really don't know."
"Sir, I still have to go begging for food, so I'll be going now."
Before he could finish speaking, the beggar fled as if escaping.
Xu Yan stared at the beggar's back, then unfolded the crumpled paper ball.
The beggar was unaware of this, and he didn't pay any attention to it.
But when he opened the paper and his gaze swept across its surface, an invisible aura of malevolence suddenly rose from his body.
"How dare you!"
Xu Yan's eyes gleamed with a cold light, like ice that had never melted.
The contents of the paper were very simple; it simply told him that Ye Shu had been kidnapped.
If you want to save Ye Shu, you must send him to Luofeng Mountain, north of Anping County, and you must not tell the authorities, otherwise they will kill him immediately.
Xu Yan knew perfectly well who was behind it.
Apart from the Wang family, there is no other person like them.
"It seems I have no choice but to go this time."
Xu Yan rubbed his chin, thinking to himself, "But this is fine too. It gives me a chance to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
In an instant, Xu Yan had an idea.
Ye Shu treated him extremely well and was his only true friend in this world.
Even though his predecessor was in such a terrible state, he still didn't give up on him, so naturally he wouldn't give up on Ye Shu either.
Moreover, if he doesn't go this time, even more trouble awaits him.
This is an opportunity for the other party, and also an opportunity for him to eliminate his biggest threat.
"At midnight, at Luofeng Mountain."
Xu Yan threw away the crumpled paper and walked towards the market.
The agreement on paper is to arrive at midnight, but it's still early. Why not try our luck at the market first and see if we can find anything useful?
Before long, his figure disappeared at the end of the long street.
……
Sunrise and sunset, the fiery clouds on the horizon are replaced by the darkness of night.
Xu Yan strolled around the market, and although he didn't find anything rare, he did spend money to buy a few items.
The rusty longsword at his waist was gone, replaced by a sharp blade that gleamed with a cold light.
This knife was purchased from a blacksmith's shop and is considered a top-quality knife in Anping County.
Xu Yan glanced at the sky, then headed straight for Luofeng Mountain without stopping.
Luofeng Mountain is about 100 miles from Anping County. It is named after its shape, which resembles a phoenix. Literati and poets often come here to compose poems and climb the mountain.
However, it was already late at night.
Only silence pervades the mountains, and the depths of the forest appear even more secluded.
space.
Master Wang sat on the rock, calmly picked up the teapot, and took a sip.
Beside him, Constable Chen frowned, glancing occasionally into the darkness.
There were more than ten servants of the Wang family around, all of them with excited expressions on their faces.
Master Wang glanced at Constable Chen and said leisurely, "No need to be nervous. In my opinion, he is only at the early stage of Daoist cultivation."
"Although these blood slaves are only at the bottom level, their sheer number is enough to keep him occupied for a while."
"Moreover, both of us are nearing the mid-stage of the Daoist Canon; together we can easily kill him."
Officer Chen did not respond, but instead glanced at a tree not far away.
"Why not kill him?"
Ye Shu was tightly bound to the tree trunk with a rope as thick as a thumb, and was struggling desperately.
There was no fear in his eyes, but rather anger.
Today, he was planning to go back and buy some groceries to cook a meal for Old Xu.
Unexpectedly, he was knocked unconscious by Master Wang halfway there and then brought here.
When he woke up, he overheard their conversation and realized that they were planning to deal with Lao Xu.
Ye Shu didn't know the exact reason, but he did know one thing: Old Xu was in danger.
But at that moment, he was powerless to do anything.
"Why kill him?"
Master Wang sneered, "The deeper the resentment of the blood offering, the better the effect."
"I want to capture Xu Yan in front of him, and then torture him slowly in front of both of them."
"In this way, not only Xu Yan, but also the flesh and blood of his dearest friend will become more perfect."
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen remained silent.
He knew all too well what kind of entity the Ascension Sect was, and its current methods were in line with its usual style.
Just then, Master Wang suddenly turned his head and looked into the depths of the dense forest.
"He's here."
