Chapter 41 Grandmaster's Legacy

"Brother Han, has the identity of that person from earlier today been confirmed?"

Seeing Zeng Tianxiang captured, Gao Shize's expression improved slightly, and he turned to ask Han Xuan.

Han Xuan nodded. "After questioning passersby during the day, we have already produced a portrait. That person is a wanted criminal who has been on our Six Doors wanted list for a month, named Yan Chu."

"However, the records state that he only has Second Realm cultivation. I don't know how he has become a Fourth Realm Martial Artist now?"

"Perhaps he was concealing his cultivation!"

Gao Shize's tone was filled with Killing Intent: "No matter what realm he is in, anyone who dares to oppose my Gao Family must die!"

"Rest assured, Brother Gao, I have already sent a message via carrier pigeon to the Longhua Prefecture Six Doors to inquire about the specific details of this Yan Chu. We will conduct a thorough search in the city over the next few days; I believe that Yan Chu, as a mere Fourth Realm Martial Artist, will find it difficult to escape!"

...

In the pitch-black long street.

The Six Doors Green Uniform Head Constable Xue Yifan led seven or eight Constables, escorting Zeng Tianxiang toward the Six Doors prison.

They were silent, having already moved more than ten miles away from the South City.

Now, Zeng Tianxiang's shoulder blades were locked, and he couldn't muster even a shred of strength.

Moreover, with the Gao Family's Fourth Realm retainer Lu Jun accompanying them, there was even less fear of Zeng Tianxiang escaping.

"Head Constable Xue, the Gao Family is simply too arrogant!"

"What did that five-year-old child do? They wanted to kill him, and they even killed two old people right in front of us, showing absolutely no regard for our Six Doors."

Suddenly, a young Constable in the group spoke up, his tone filled with indignation, breaking the silence of the night.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

The Gao Family people were still right there!

"Dachui! What are you saying? Apologize quickly!"

A Constable looked at the silent Head Constable in front and the gloomy-faced Gao Family retainer beside them, then hurriedly grabbed him.

"Did I say something wrong?"

The young Constable named Dachui violently broke free from his companion and took a few steps forward to stand in front of the Head Constable.

He pointed at the retainer beside them and cursed: "Escorting prisoners is our Six Doors' business; when did it become the turn of the Gao Family to meddle in our affairs?"

Seeing Lu Jun's expression beside him becoming increasingly dark as water, Xue Yifan's gaze was practically murderous.

He did not want to offend the Gao Family.

This kid was practically roasting himself over a fire.

Seeing his subordinate still rambling on, he couldn't help but shout angrily: "You shut up— Boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, his vision was filled with a masculine and vast fist light, unstoppable and incomparably powerful.

"What?!?"

In his panic, Xue Yifan had no time to make many movements. He could only raise his arms in horror and gather his True Qi to protect his whole body.

Thud!

This punch directly shattered all the True Qi in his body. The mighty fist force crushed all his bones and shattered his Meridians. He tilted his head back, spat out a mouthful of hot blood, fell to the ground, and trembled with a wheezing sound.

"You... you are not..."

Xue Yifan pointed at Yan Chu, his face full of unwillingness.

With a puff, he spat out another mouthful of blood mixed with organ fragments, tilted his head, and died completely.

"Who are you?!?"

The nearby Gao Family retainer Lu Jun hurriedly retreated upon seeing this, his face unable to hide his shock.

Killing a Fourth Realm expert with a single punch—who on earth was this?

Clang!

The azure nether precious saber was unsheathed, its green saber light cutting through the dark night.

Blazing Fire Burning the Heavens!

In an instant, everything within several meters was filled with crimson Saber Qi, scorching and oppressive, sealing all of Lu Jun's retreat paths and leaving him unable to back away, forcing him to take the blow head-on.

"Block it for me!"

A short sword slid from Lu Jun's sleeve, and he swung it repeatedly, creating several sword shadows while shouting loudly.

Clang!

This saber strike was heavy and powerful, directly slicing through the thousand-refined short sword. From top to bottom, from head to crotch, it went through without any obstruction, clean and efficient.

Lu Jun's eyes were dazed.

The next second, a line of blood appeared down the middle of his head, and his body split into two halves. His intestines and internal organs spilled all over the ground, with a pungent smell of blood.

【Killed the wicked Gao Family retainer, feeling extremely gratified, EXP +1000】

The might of a famous saber is evident.

After obtaining this saber, Yan Chu was indeed like a tiger that had grown wings.

Turning around, the other Constables had already scattered and fled into the distance.

They were shouting while running.

"Run! That green saber has appeared!!"

"Signal! Call Commandant Han!"

"Run..."

Yan Chu did not pursue them. With two clangs of his saber, he chopped off the iron hooks locking Zeng Tianxiang, then grabbed him and disappeared into the darkness at the corner of the street.

A moment later, Han Xuan and Gao Shize appeared here, looking at the two corpses, both unable to suppress their Killing Intent.

"Damn it!"

Gao Shize struck out with a palm, directly shattering a nearby house, his furious voice carrying far away: "Yan Chu! I will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

...

Inside an abandoned house, Zeng Tianxiang looked at Yan Chu and said:

"Brother Yan, I owe you my life. In the future, no matter what requests you have, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not shirk my duty!"

Yan Chu shook his head and said: "Let's talk after you escape this immediate crisis! How is your True Qi? Has it recovered?"

Just now, Han Xuan used his True Qi to seal all of his cultivation, but it would automatically dissipate after a long time, which is why he used the shoulder blade hooks to lock him up.

Zeng Tianxiang smiled bitterly:

"I estimate it will take another two or three hours; the True Qi of a Fifth Realm Master does not dissipate that quickly."

"Then what do you plan to do now?"

Yan Chu asked again: "Does Big Black Mountain have any other strongholds in the city?"

"Yes!"

Zeng Tianxiang said: "But I don't dare to go there now. No one knows if they have been exposed."

Hearing this, Yan Chu was also worried,

"Then what should we do? That secret passage in the South City must definitely be guarded by the Gao Family. We can't leave the city now. If they carry out a carpet search, sooner or later, they will find us."

He could use his Disguise Art to hide.

During the day, he saw children's toys in Grandma Yu's courtyard, which made him suspicious.

So, after boosting his strength again, he went to the South City early to lie in ambush, only to find that Six Doors Constables were quietly evacuating the surrounding residents.

He killed a Constable and used his Disguise Art to take his appearance, blending into the Six Doors team.

As it turned out, things went exactly as he expected.

Now, with his Disguise Art, he could silently replace others.

But he couldn't just leave Zeng Tianxiang here, right?

Saving him and then ignoring him didn't seem quite right.

"There is still a way!"

Zeng Tianxiang suddenly spoke.

"Hmm? What way?"

Zeng Tianxiang asked: "Brother Yan, do you know that I actually had another purpose for coming to Linshui City?"

Yan Chu frowned: "Stop the nonsense! Speak quickly!"

Zeng Tianxiang twitched his mouth, scratched his scalp, and said:

"Have you ever heard of the name 'Sword Roaring Across the Three Rivers' Ye Dinghan?"

"No!"

Yan Chu had only been traveling in the Jianghu for a little over a month in total; how could he have heard of any 'Sword Roaring Across the Three Rivers'?

Zeng Tianxiang introduced: "Ye Dinghan was a Grandmaster powerhouse who rampaged through the Cangnan region decades ago. He single-handedly founded the Three Rivers Alliance and was recognized as the number one person in the Cangnan region!"

"However, he later passed away for unknown reasons, but a piece of news spread that he had hidden everything he learned in his life in a cave and drew a map."

"After he died, the Three Rivers Alliance fell apart. That map was divided into four parts and flowed into the Jianghu."
