CHAPTER 201 - IMPORTANT WORK OF PHANTOM SHOT 4

The last time he spoke, the father and son of Wan family were discussing something inside the gates of the capital. Wan Tianba told his father that Jiang Feng had already left the Recruitment Hall. Wan Xingyun speculated that Jiang Feng might have some urgent matter or plan that led him to leave at this critical moment. Wan Tianxiong had always looked down on others, so he naturally didn't think so. Wan Xingyun reminded Wan Tianxiong to be careful and be on guard against any plans for the recruitment process. Wan Xingyun himself wanted to cooperate with Liu Shichen to achieve his grand aspiration of unifying the Central Plains and the outer sect.

Inside the Beijing Recruitment Hall, Xu Yuan was competing with Qin Shi. Xu Yuan brought down his Heaven Breaking Hammer and Qin Shi's dual mace met it head on. The difference in strength between the two was too great. Qin Si's hands became numb from the impact and he retreated a few steps. Xu Yuan smiled and said, Big Brother Qin, please don't show mercy. This is fun to play with. Qin Shi couldn't help but say, Brother Xu, your hammers are very profound. I, your brother, am inferior to you. Xu Yuan twirled his hands and said dejectedly, Big Brother Qin, don't say anymore. I'm going up. Xu Yuan turned to face him and struck out with his bronze hammer. Seeing that this was a killing move, Qin Shi was instantly enlivened and leapt into the air. The mace in his right hand struck down. Xu Yuan didn't even look at it. Qin Shi jumped onto the ground but missed. Xu Yuan then directly hit him in the back. Qin Shi immediately laid down, dodging the attack and then rolled away. Xu Yuan frowned and called out, Big Brother Qin, you're finally willing to go all out. Good. With a roar of rage, he brought his two hammers up. Qin Shi also welcomed him with his two mace. The two of them had fought for more than ten rounds like this. Xu Yuan slightly lowered his body. His two trump cards failed him and he was hit by the bronze hammer instead. But luckily, Xu Yuan stopped attacking in time so he wasn't seriously injured.

Yan Kuo stood with his hands behind his back, watching the battle unfold in front of him. Xu Yuan stepped forward and asked, Big Brother Qin, are you alright? Qin Shi shook his head, It's fine, Brother Xu. I still need to thank you for showing mercy. Xu Yuan laughed foolishly and said, No, no, Big Brother Qin, how about we practice a few more rounds? Qin Shi quickly refused, Oh, no, no. Brother Xu Yuan, I can't beat you. There's no point in continuing to fight. Xu Yuan still insisted, Big Brother Qin, it wasn't easy for you to agree to practice martial arts with me today, and it ended just like that. It's a little boring. Qin Si deliberately faked a cough and said, Brother Xu, I feel a little unwell in my body. If this continues, I'm afraid that I'll faint. Now that Miss Xiao is not around, if anything happens to me, you understand what I mean, right? Xu Yuan let go of Qin Shi and said, Okay, Big Brother Qin, then you can go rest. I'll train by myself. Qin Shi made a farewell gesture and left the arena.

Yan Kuo slowly walked over and said in a stern voice, Brat, your recent martial arts has improved again compared to the last time we fought. Xu Yuan stared at him and said, I'm not a little brat, so don't call me that. My martial arts are improving every day, today is even better than yesterday, not to mention what happened a month ago. How is it? Is my hand itchy when I see my improvement? Is my heart feeling uncomfortable? Yan Kuo's expression did not change as he said, Fight with you? I don't have the time right now, I still have a lot of things to take care of, but if you're bored, then I have a job for you to do. When Xu Yuan heard this, he was very curious and asked, You have an errand for me to do? Cold face, didn't you always think that I wasn't good enough? Didn't you always think that I was unreliable? Why did you give me the job this time? I'm guessing it has to be some kind of errand, so I'm not willing to go. Yan Kuo did not get angry after hearing this. He immediately turned around and said, Alright, since you are unwilling to go, then I will look for someone else. You can continue to be bored here." Xu Yuan was constantly hesitating in his heart. Although he said that he didn't want to go because he was afraid that Yan Kuo would run errands for him, in his heart, he wanted to go out and play, even if it was running errands. In fact, he had also considered many things in his heart when Yan Kuo had spoken to Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan had a childish air about him, he did not have a broad view of the situation, and was likely to be controlled by others when doing things. If some expert were to appear, he would probably throw all the important matters to the back of his mind to fight with that person. However, this plan could only be carried out by someone who was a master of martial arts. While it seemed like Ku Mo Fan was more competent than Xu Yuan, he was, after all, still an outsider. Firstly, if we let the guests handle the matter, it might be inappropriate, or they might laugh at us for not having people in the Central Plains. Secondly, and more importantly, Li Mofan is a person who doesn't like to speak, even though he has a good relationship with Jiang Feng, he would still be wary of him in Yan Kuo's heart. Therefore, he would rather bet on Xu Yuan than on Mo Fan.

Yan Kuo ran towards the door. Xu Yuan thought for a while before chasing after him. He called out, Icy face, wait a moment. Yan Kuo stopped and turned his head slightly. What is it? What else do you want? If you want to spar with me, I don't want to repeat my attitude a second time. Xu Yuan quickly said, Hey, you're cold, what do you need me to do? Hurry up and speak. I'll think about it. Yan Kuo looked at him obliquely and said, Have you thought it through? Seeing his cold expression, Xu Yuan still felt angry in his heart. But now that Yan Kuo was still the vice head, Jiang Feng was not in the recruitment hall, so all matters were handled by Yan Kuo. He had the power to kill and kill, he had the authority to assign others to do whatever he wanted.

Xu Yuan lowered his head, clenched his hands, and said, I want to do this job. Tell me the contents of this job. Yan Kuo looked at him and seriously replied, There's only the two of us now, so you have to promise me that you will keep this a secret and not let anyone else know about it. Moreover, you have to do it well. When Xu Yuan saw his expression, he was also puzzled in his heart: Why is this ice-cold face so mysterious? Seeing that he didn't have any reaction, Yan Kuo sternly asked, Little demon, are you willing to go? Xu Yuan suppressed the anger in his chest and said, Fine. I, Xu Yuan, swear to the heavens that I won't tell this to anyone. I will definitely be able to do it well. Is this fine? Yan Kui nodded slightly and said, Alright, come over here and listen. As Xu Yuan approached, Yan Kuo lowered his head and said softly, From today onwards, I want you to patrol the vicinity of our Hall of Recruitment and monitor the Death Gate and our Hall of Recruitment for any enemy spies. After hearing that, Xu Yuan clapped and loudly said, Haha, you're the one who … Yan Kuo immediately glared at him and said, Shut up! Xu Yuan was shocked by his roar and said, Okay, I won't say it. Go on. Yan Kuo indicated for him to whisper and said, Brat, I only gave you this important task because I saw that your martial arts were still passable. Did you know that? This mission is very important to our Recruitment Hall. Xu Yuan nodded and said, I know. This is equivalent to being a scout during a war. I'm right in saying that I'm specialized in defending myself from being scouted and having my enemies watched, aren't I? When Yan Kuo saw Xu Yuan become so serious for the first time, he felt gratified in his heart. He felt more confident about his decision to send Xu Yuan this time.

Xu Yuan let out a long breath and said, There's no time to lose with that cold face. I'll go right now. Just as he was about to run, Yan Kuo called out to him, Wait a moment, there's something else I need to remind you of. Xu Yuan impatiently said, Since when did your cold face become so long-winded? Yan Kuo ignored him and said, First, you have to carefully observe the area around our recruitment hall. The Death Ground Gate has a large area of influence in the capital, and they will definitely send spies to observe us, so you have to find these spies and injure them, and if they continue to resist and kill you, and secondly, you have to be careful not to get discovered by those people, and also pay more attention to the movements of the Death Ground Gate. If you meet Wan Xingyun or Wan Tianxiong, you must not act rashly, what makes me worried is your fiery temper. Xu Yuan suddenly nodded and said, Okay, I understand. You don't have to worry about that. I will control my temper and help you do things well. But I have a request. Yan Kuo frowned slightly and asked, What request? Xu Yuan straightened his back and said, If I successfully complete this mission, you will have to fight me again and fight with all your might. How about that? Yan Kuo turned and left, leaving behind a few words, Finish the mission first, we can discuss everything after that. Xu Yuan was very happy. He said to himself, Great, I can finally go out and play. In the future, I can still have a good fight with that cold face of mine. Just thinking about it makes me very excited."

What about later?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.

CHAPTER 202 - PHANTOM CANNON 4

Last time, he mentioned that in the Beijing Recruitment Hall, Xu Yuan had Qin Si practice martial arts together. After dozens of rounds of battle, Qin Shi was unable to resist and was defeated, but Xu Yuan was not satisfied and had to fight again. Qin Si pretended to be injured on purpose before escaping from Xu Yuan's demonic palms. Seeing that his kung fu had improved in the past few months, Yan Kuo decided to hand over an important task to this cynical child. Yan Kuo made Xu Yuan swear to the heavens that he would not leak out a single word. Afterwards, he instructed him to find out who the Death Gate spies were and to lurk near the Death Gate to gather some information. However, he could not engage in a direct confrontation with the Death Gate.

Xu Yuan excitedly returned to his room to wipe the sweat off his body. After slightly tidying up, he went out and arrived at the entrance of the Recruitment Hall. When Shi Yi saw him, he said, Brother Xu, you're going out? Xu Yuan nodded his head abruptly and said, Hehe, Brother Shi, I am not going out on a mission this time. Icy cold … no, vice head Yan has given me the order. Shi Yi was dubious, but she was just a little bodyguard herself. Since Xu Yuan had said so, she didn't want to ask too much, so she said, Okay, go and come back as soon as possible. He opened the door for Xu Yuan. At that moment, a voice came from behind, Wait. Xu Yuan turned around and saw Jing Mo Fan. Smiling, he said, Yo, it's Brother Xi. Li Mo Fan quickly walked over and said, Brother Xu, you're going to take a look around the area. Just as Xu Yuan wanted to say something, he suddenly thought of Yan Kuo's words. He quickly said carelessly, I, I just want to go over to the capital to watch. Shi Yi slightly frowned. Her words had a way out for him. He couldn't help but suspect that Xu Yuan only wanted to go play and didn't have Yan Kuo's orders to deal with this matter. Li Mo Fan held his Darksteel Dark Spear and said, Since that's the case, Brother Xu, I'll follow you out for a stroll. Maybe I can be of some help. Xu Yuan looked helpless. He wanted to decline, but he was afraid that Mo Fan would see through this. He could only say, Alright, Big Brother Chen, let's go together. We have something to take care of each other. Ku Mo Fan nodded and took the lead to walk out of the door. Xu Yuan curled his lips as he hefted the two hammers onto his shoulders and followed her out. As Shi Yi watched them leave, he slowly closed the door.

Guard Li Jin asked, Brother Shi, why are you so absent-minded? Shi Yi thought for a while and said, Brother Li, you stay here. I will report this to the vice head. Li Jin didn't know the reason why, he just said, Alright, then you go. I'll guard it. Shi Yi nodded and quickly ran to the reception hall.

Along the way, Xu Yuan kept looking around, his eyes constantly searching for something. This frequent action was naturally noticed by him, so he asked, Brother Xu, what are you doing? Xu Yuan was shocked. He was like a child who was doing bad things, and was frightened by the sound of someone calling him. He turned his head and said, Ah? I, I didn't do anything, I just randomly took a look. I've been in the Recruitment Hall for too long, and since it's so rare to come out, I naturally have to take a look. Haha, haha. Upon hearing this, Ku Mo Fan said, Brother Xu, you don't need to hide this from me. You came out in secret and in high spirits. Vice Sect Master Yan must have given you an important mission, right? Xu Yuan's expression was ugly as he thought to himself, Crap, how could he have found out? I obviously didn't do anything. He scratched the back of his head and said, No, no, no. Brother Sai, don't ask anymore. I really can't say anything. Seeing that he was not going to speak, he knew that this mission might be very important. He didn't ask further and said, Brother Xu, since I can't say it, then I won't ask any further. I have my own matters to attend to now, so I'm going to the capital to inquire about the gates of death. Do you want to come with me? When Xu Yuan heard that he was going to investigate the door of death, he thought to himself, What's with this cold face? Didn't he just give me the task of monitoring the door of death? Did he go back on his words? You think I'm unreliable? But that's not right. He can't let Mo Fan do it so quickly, and with his strange temper, he'll definitely get Mo Fan to stop me from going. Seeing Xu Yuan standing still in his original spot, Li Wen Mo Fan seemed to be thinking about something as he said, Brother Xu, I don't have any errands or missions on me. My original goal was to investigate the death gate and my sect's private matters. After he finished speaking, he started walking towards the direction of the capital. Xu Yuan frowned. He made up his mind and said, Brother Chen, wait a minute. I will go with you. I'm going to play in the capital." Just like that, the two of them continued their journey.

Jiang Feng and the others were still on their way to the southern region of the Infinite Land. Gui Xue Rou called out, Head Jiang, I'm a bit tired. How about we get off the horse and rest for a while? Although Jiang Feng was anxious to get to Henan as soon as possible, he knew that it was more important to take care of the physical strength of the three girls who were travelling together. He turned around and asked, Miss Xiao, Yue'er, we have travelled for a very long time. We will dismount and rest. Even if we are not tired, let the horses rest. Otherwise, if they are exhausted, our speed will be even slower. Xiao Mu Yu and Huang Yue were a little tired, so they said in unison, Alright. Jiang Feng took the initiative to rein in the white horse and dismounted. Tan Yuan didn't say anything and just followed along.

Gui Xue Rou tossed the horse to the side. Jiang Feng hurried over to help her carry the horse in case it was scared and ran away. Exhaustion was written all over Gui Xueruo's face as she said tenderly, I never thought that sleeping outside in the wilderness would make me so tired. I can't get a good night's sleep even without seeing the inn today. Everyone ignored her and let her grumble. Huang Yue and Xiao Mu Yu were holding hands as they sat down. Jiang Feng brought out a canteen that was tied to the saddle and handed it to them. He said with concern, Miss Xiao, Yue Er, drink some water and rest first. Huang Yue received it with a beaming smile and said, Big Brother Jiang Feng is the best. Jiang Feng gazed at her adorable face and smiled inwardly. Tan Yuan was sitting by himself under the tree with his head leaning against the tree trunk. His eyes were somewhat blurry. Jiang Feng threw another kettle to him and called out, Brother Tan, catch this. Tan Yuan recovered from his shock and extended his hand to catch it. He said indifferently, Thank you, Master Jiang. Jiang Feng slightly nodded his head. Just as he turned around, he discovered that Gui Xue Rou had already unknowingly arrived behind him. He was shocked and asked, Miss Gui, don't be like this. Humans are scary and scary. Gui Xue Rou laughed. She had a charm that men couldn't resist. Jiang Feng thought to himself: Miss Gui is really beautiful. She has really absorbed all of the virtues of her parents. Gui Xue Rou asked, Head Jiang, everyone has water to drink, so why don't I have it? Head Jiang, it can't be that you won't give it to me, right? Jiang Feng quickly explained with a smile, Miss Gui, please don't misunderstand. After I just saw you looking up at the sky when you dismounted, I didn't want to disturb you. I'll give you the water after you recover. Look, the water is all here. Gui Xue Rou happily received it and sat beside Xiao and Huang.

Jiang Feng shook his head and thought to himself, Although Miss Gui's looks are outstanding, her eccentric and unrestrained character is also a headache. Previously, it was truly difficult for Yue Xingchen to control her. Jiang Feng smiled as he sat beside Huang Yue. He took a big gulp and exclaimed comfortably, Good, this is great! Haha! If there was wine right now, it would be even more perfect! Huang Yue poked Jiang Feng with her finger and said, Big Brother Jiang Feng, we're on the way to doing something now. You've already said before that we can't touch the wine. You can't lead us astray right now! Jiang Feng laughed heartily and said, Yue'er, you're right. Seeing me like this, I almost forgot about this matter. Luckily, Yue'er, you reminded me. Otherwise, the matter would have become troublesome. Xiao Mu Yu replied, Even if you drink it's fine. I naturally have a way to wake you up. Jiang Feng curiously asked, Oh? Does Miss Xiao have the antidote to the wine? Xiao Mu Yu looked at him and said, Of course I do, but I'm not willing to help you with such a troublesome thing. I have a golden needle on me, and I just need to prick a few of your important acupoints and your wine will wake up." After hearing these words, Jiang Feng thought about it and suddenly felt a stabbing pain all over his body. Huang Yue couldn't help but laugh when she saw Jiang Feng's reaction.

What about later?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.

CHAPTER 203 - THE TWO TACTICS OF THE PHANTOM SPEAR 4

Last time, Xu Yuan was just about to leave when he met Zhao Mo Fan at the door. He had been reluctant to leave, but he was afraid that he would see through it, so he agreed. Mo Fan had already known that Xu Yuan had a mission on him. After a few probing words, he found that Xu Yuan was not willing to answer his questions. Since both of them were going to the capital, it just so happened that they were traveling together. On the other hand, Jiang Feng and the others were on their way. Gui Xue Rou's name was Lei, so Jiang Feng agreed to let everyone rest together.

As Gui Xue Rou watched the movements of Jiang Feng and Huang Yue, she couldn't help but think of how her Senior Brother had been so intimate with her when they were young. Unfortunately, now that her Senior Brother had grown up, she had a Senior Sister in her heart. Gui Xue smiled charmingly and asked, Head Jiang, how long have you known Huang Yue and your sister? For your relationship to reach such a level, I didn't realize before that the head of the River Master was actually a man of the world. First is our Recruitment Hall's dignified and dignified Lady Fang Xinyao, and then there's the Miss Liu who came to our Recruitment Hall just a while ago to look for you. Now that you and Little Sister Huang Yue are so close, it looks like I have to rejudge you. Just as Jiang Feng was about to speak, Huang Yue took the lead and said, Miss Gui, it's best if you don't spout nonsense. I don't know anything else, but Big Brother Jiang Feng and I have been good friends since we were young. You won't understand our feelings. Gui Xue Rou said sinisterly, Yo, so Little Sister Huang Yue and Master Jiang are still childhood sweethearts. Hmm, very good. Jiang Feng's face was a bit embarrassed as he said helplessly, Miss Gui, please take note of your words. I, Jiang Feng, believe that I have good character. At least in this aspect, I am an honorable man. Gui Xue Rou giggled and said, Head Jiang, look at you. I was just joking with you. You don't have to be so agitated. Relax, relax. Actually, none of us have childhood friends. My senior brother and I are childhood friends. However, he does not like me. In his heart, he only likes my senior sister. However, this is also good. Right now, they are also very happy. When Jiang Feng saw that she was moody and didn't know how to speak properly, he thought to himself, This Miss Gui, her appearance is so beautiful. It's a pity that she is too playful and unlikeable in her heart."

At this moment, Xiao Mu Yu suddenly said faintly, I don't have a childhood friend. In the end, the first person I know is still Jiang Feng. She looked at Jiang Feng before shifting her gaze away. Jiang Feng knew that she had thought of something sad so he consoled her, Miss Xiao, there is no need to be sad. Don't you know so many good friends in the Recruitment Hall? I believe that in the future, there will be more and more of them, whether they are in the Clear Void Sect or our Recruitment Hall. With her sharp ears, Gui Xue Rou heard the main point and asked, Oh? So it turns out that not only is Miss Xiao Yuan's senior disciple, she is also related to the Clear Void Sect. Seeing her cynical attitude, Xiao Mu Yu Yu couldn't help but feel disgusted, and was unwilling to speak with her. Seeing this, Gui Xue Rou felt bored and stuck out her tongue before asking: Master Jiang, how do you know Du Shaoyang? Tell me, I want to know more about him, and what he likes and does. Jiang Feng didn't expect her to be so interested in him, so many doubts arose in his heart. He thought to himself: When did she meet Brother Shaoyang? Did something happen between them? Jiang Feng recalled for a moment and said, Miss Gui, actually, I met Brother Shaoyang outside of the capital. Gui Xue Rou listened attentively and gestured Jiang Feng to continue. Jiang Feng said, Actually, Brother Shaoyang and I felt like we had hit it off at first sight. He gave me a sense of a righteous man, a sense of righteousness. We're all familiar with each other just by looking at him. Gui Xue Rou rolled her eyes and said, The way you guys know each other is really casual. It doesn't create any atmosphere at all. It's so boring." Jiang Feng's gaze shifted to the side as he thought to himself: How do we men know each other? Aren't two men good friends and brothers just because they are in the same boat?

Gui Xue Rou looked at the sky and said, Actually, I must have been more interesting than you when I met him. I met him at the bun house. Huang Yue couldn't help but laugh when she heard that, So you and that Du Shaoyang met when you were eating. Isn't that even more boring? Of course, it sounds boring this way, but I went to sit with him and tease him. I found him very interesting, and when I thought of his helpless face, I wanted to laugh. Master Jiang, he is much more interesting than my senior brother and you. The lady beside him is also beautiful and refined. His luck with women is quite good. Jiang Feng teased on purpose, Yeah, and there's even a good friend with such exceptional beauty like you. Brother Shaoyang's luck with women is indeed not shallow. Suddenly, Gui Xue Rou said, Forget it, I'm not his friend. I don't want to be his friend either. Jiang Feng was taken aback and asked, Miss Gui, aren't you Brother Shaoyang's good friend? Then you go and see him. You're sure he'll see you. Gui Xue Rou stood up and looked back, smiling. She said confidently, He will definitely meet with me. In her heart, she did not want to see Du Shaoyang as a good friend because she wanted to be the woman that Du Shaoyang cared about the most. She also knew that with Li QIngshuang's foresight and gentleness, it would be really hard for her to get into his heart. However, she liked to challenge others. In her heart, there was nothing that she couldn't do.

Xiao Mu Yu whispered, Jiang Feng, look at Brother Tan. He just sits there by himself and doesn't say anything. We're just lying here talking and laughing. That's not good. Only now did Jiang Feng remember Tan Yuan. He called out, Brother Tan, come over here and have a chat. It's so boring to be alone there. Tan Yuan's train of thought was interrupted by Jiang Feng. He responded, What? Jiang Feng stood up and walked to his side, saying, Brother Tan, what's wrong? Along the way, I see you looking glum. Are you still thinking about your senior brother, the white-haired demonic child? Tan Yuan lowered his head and did not speak. Jiang Feng sat beside him and patted his shoulder, saying, Brother, actually, there are many things in life that need to be accomplished, so we need to go through a lot and overcome a lot of difficulties. As for exactly how we do it, I might not know, but we cannot give up first, nor can we complain. Moreover, when we go to the Clear Void Sect this time, we might meet your senior brother, but I am still here. If I need help, I will definitely help. We are brothers! After hearing that, Tan Yuan was a little moved, and finally said, Head Jiang, thank you, I know that with my skills, I can't beat my senior brother, and also, my father told me before he passed away that I can't take revenge on my senior brother. I'm very nervous, I don't know if what I did was right or wrong, I don't know if it's filial to avenge my father, or to follow father's last words, I'm very conflicted in my heart, I … Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Jiang Feng, In fact, Brother Tan, I have a good suggestion. I can help you take revenge for your father, but not go against your father's wishes. When Tan Yuan heard these words, he was immediately enlivened. He cupped his hands and respectfully asked, Head Jiang, please advise me. Jiang Feng waved his hand and said, Brother, there's no need to be so polite. We can destroy his martial arts, and make him become an ordinary person. He will no longer be able to commit so many evil deeds, and as the Young Clan Master of the Sword Management Sect, naturally, you will not care about the death of a useless cripple like him, and even more so, you will disdain to kill a useless person. This way, wouldn't you be able to avenge your father and not be able to go against your father's last words? Master Jiang, thank you for your guidance. Ever since my father's death, when I was defeated by the white-haired demonic child, I have been extremely upset, and have completely lost control of myself. Thank you Master Jiang for guiding me on the right path. Shaking his head, he said, Brother Tan, don't forget that we are brothers. From now on, you are not to be so polite, you are not to be so silent, or else I will not interfere in your and your senior's personal affairs." Tan Yuan suddenly nodded in agreement. Just like this, Jiang Feng could be considered to have untied the knot in Tan Yuan's heart that had always been at his side …

What about later?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.

CHAPTER 204 - THE PATH TO SELF-CONFIDENCE IN PHANTOM SPEAR 4

Previously, when Jiang Feng and his group were resting, Gui Xue Rou was constantly teasing Jiang Feng. Although Jiang Feng felt that it was troublesome, he had promised his parents that he would protect her, so he could only tolerate her at every turn. After that, Jiang Feng and Tan Yuan talked about his senior brother the white-haired demonic child, and Jiang Feng voiced the doubts in Tan Yuan's heart. Moreover, he gave Tan Yuan a complete plan, and only then did Tan Yuan's knot in his heart be untied.

Wang Yi Xin yawned as he rubbed his sleepy eyes. He stretched and muttered to himself, What's going on? Why is it so bright? I haven't slept for long, I'm so tired. He slowly got up and called for the waiter to bring a basin of water for washing his face. He used a towel to wipe his eyes and asked, Waiter, what time is it now? The waiter replied, Dear guest, it's almost noon. It's almost noon. Wang Yi Xin was shocked when he heard that and exclaimed, What? Is it time? I can't believe I slept for so long. The waiter helped him clean the table and asked, Sir, do you want me to serve you some side dishes? Wang Yi Xin violently shook his head and hurriedly said, No need, no need. Help me check if there are any hot steamed buns in the kitchen. Just give me a few. I still have something to take care of today, so I won't have the time to eat anymore. The waiter agreed. As he left, he muttered to himself, This guest is really something. Since we have matters to attend to today, why didn't you get up earlier? What time is it? Going now, wouldn't that be a mistake? He shook his head and headed for the kitchen.

Wang Yi Xin tidied himself up and said, This is bad, I didn't expect it to be so late. Du Shaoyang wanted me to observe the surroundings for a few days now, if that Midnight Demon stayed or hid somewhere, I would miss it. This is terrible, alas, even I feel that I can't do it myself, it seems that I really have to change it in the future. After thinking about it, he put the bag under his pillow, took his money bag, and pushed the door open and went downstairs. Coincidentally, the waiter brought some steamed buns from the kitchen and said, Sir, I've just searched the entire kitchen and only these two steamed buns are left. Wang Yi Xin took it and quickly ate. The waiter poured a cup of water for him and he drank it all down. Immediately, his stomach was full. He touched it in satisfaction and walked out of the inn with a smile.

Wang Yi Xin looked at the sky and let out a long breath as he said, The air under the feet of the Clear Void Mountain is really refreshing. Wang Yi Xin looked at the sky and let out a long breath as he said, The air under the feet of the Clear Void Mountain is really refreshing. He picked up a small stone from the ground and picked it up. As he walked, he caught it. His eyes did not stop for a single moment. Looking left and right, there were not many people at the foot of Qing Xu Mountain. It was possible that there would only be people a little further ahead. Ahead was a road through which all the merchants from the south had to pass. Wang Yi Xin thought to himself, 'This Midnight Demon shouldn't have come from that place. It's better that I don't go. Otherwise, if I don't meet this Midnight Demon and meet this white-haired Demon Tong, I'll be done for. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly thought: Wait a minute, since it's the main road ahead, and there are a lot of merchants and their families. If the Midnight Demon is here, he will definitely go to the main road and squat down there, looking for the target. With that in mind, he resolutely moved forward. Even though he was afraid of encountering danger, he wanted to personally find that Midnight Demon. In reality, even Wang Yi Xin felt that he was similar to him. He said to himself, How can I compare myself to that kind of person? I am a rich and poor chivalrous person, and that person is a beast. What are my thoughts?"

On the Great Void Mountain, Du Shaoyang did not go to the back mountain to practice his swordplay. Instead, he went alone to the Great Void Sect Leader's residence. Daoist Great Void was a little surprised to see him and asked, Shaoyang, shouldn't you have gone to the back of the mountain to practice your sword? Could it be that there is some urgent matter for Martial Uncle to attend to? With a rarely seen solemn expression, Du Shaoyang respectfully said, Sect Master, in fact, there has always been a matter buried in the heart of Shaoyang. I hope to obtain your support. The Great Void Daoist sat in meditation, and after breathing in and out for a while, he said, Shaoyang, if there's anything you want to say just say it, it's not like you. Du Shaoyang rubbed his temples and said, Recently, a Midnight Demon came to our Henan and killed many girls and women. His methods are cruel and his actions are quick. I think the government won't be able to catch him. I received news from Wang Yi's new brother that he would be coming to the vicinity of the Clear Void Sect to commit another crime within the next two days. Thus, Martial Uncle, I wish to personally go and capture this traitor. However, I'm afraid that I alone will not be enough. Thus, I wish to request some of my fellow seniors to help me. Seeing that Du Shaoyang was so righteous, the Great Void Sect's Taoist leader was naturally happy that he and his Senior Brother did not teach him a lesson for nothing. However, at this moment, he said, Shaoyang, if you do this, I will definitely agree to it. Punishing evil was originally something that should be done by us martial artists. Since there are such beasts that act arrogantly in our Henan territory, and they have also come to our sect, if we just sit and do nothing, the people of Wulin and Henan will definitely be dissatisfied with us. However, even if that is the case, in the near future, although the white-haired demonic child might come, and the time he says is probably a cover, we have no choice but to take precautions. Therefore, if we have to deal with this matter, we will have to deal with it alone. Shaoyang, Martial Uncle believes in you. With your strength alone, you can capture him. This is also an experiential learning that Martial Uncle gave you. Are you confident you can finish it? " Du Shaoyang couldn't help but shudder when he heard the Great Void Sect Leader's words. The Great Void Sect's leader in the martial arts world was amiable and somewhat naughty, but in the sect, he had always been strict and disciplined, had a lot of opinions, and was rather strict with others. What he said today was that the sect had to be prepared to defend against a big enemy, and believed in Du Shaoyang completely. There might be an even more important reason, which was to let Du Shaoyang accomplish this task alone, so that the people of Henan Province and the Qing Xu Sect would be able to witness his valiant nature and wise thinking that surpassed those of their peers. Daoist Great Void looked at Du Shaoyang, waiting for his answer.

Du Shaoyang had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He seemed to know the meaning behind Taoist Great Void's words. He cupped his hands in salute and seriously said, Thank you for entrusting me with this mission. Shaoyang will definitely complete it without any more harm to our commoners in Henan. The Great Void Daoist nodded his head slightly. Although he did not reveal a smile on his face, in his heart, he was very satisfied with Du Shaoyang. His many years of painstaking cultivation had not been in vain.

Du Shaoyang said, Martial Uncle, if I handle this matter well, can you agree to one of Shaoyang's requests? The Great Void Daoist stood up and smiled, Oh? Shaoyang, when did you learn the conditions for the talks? However, you should at least tell me, as long as Martial Uncle can help you, I will definitely do my best. Du Shaoyang nodded happily and said, Martial Uncle, if I complete this mission, I beg of you to send me to fight against the white-haired demonic child. His kind face became serious again as he said in a stern voice, No, the opponent that the white-haired demonic child wants is me. Shaoyang, you and the other brothers can just watch from the back. Du Shaoyang tried his best to argue, and said, Martial Uncle, you are already old, but the opponent is a youth around my age. Even if your swordsmanship is superior to his, if he delays it will be a huge drain on your energy, I don't want you to be like Master. Master has already passed away. If you are not here anymore, then if there's anything that's not good for Shaoyang, then who will stand up to me. The Great Void Daoist heaved a long sigh and said, Shaoyang, ah, ancient man, there will always be a death, a death that will be lighter than a feather, or heavier than a mountain. As the current head of the Clear Void Sect, I have to consider the prosperity of the sect, the sword techniques, the comprehension of the 'Dao', and how I would explain the future when I die. This is what a Sect Leader should think of. After combining so many things, I, Martial Uncle, decided to fight, and this is not bragging, but rather, something that you should do. Shaoyang, when you get the Sect Leader position, you will understand what it is like for Martial Uncle. Suddenly, Du Shaoyang confidently said, Martial Uncle, I know that you are not sure that you can defeat the white-haired demonic child. However, if Shaoyang has the confidence, I will definitely be able to defeat him. Once, there was a person who also said to him, "Junior Brother Great Void, you don't have to worry about me. No matter how strong the opponent is, we, the cultivators, will not be afraid, because other people practice the limited martial arts, and the infinite dao we practice is the eternal truth, and nothing can defeat the dao. So, I am fearless. I don't want to be competitive, but to comprehend my own dao through this process. This was the words that the former head of the Clear Void Sect, Daoist Master Mo Feng, had said to Dao Lord Great Void twenty years ago before battling against the Six-Pointed Star Immortal. Today, Du Shaoyang's gaze and tone of voice were extremely similar to that of Taoist Mo Feng from back then. The Taoist Great Void thought to himself: Senior Brother, Shaoyang is really intelligent, he can see through the Dao to such an extent at such a young age, he can't even compare to an old man like me.

Taoist Taixu could not help but shake his head, and said softly, Shaoyang, go and do some good things first. If the matter is handled beautifully, I, Junior Master, will hand over the white-haired demonic child to you. When Du Shaoyang heard this, he was very excited. He immediately bowed and said, Yes, Martial Uncle. I, Shaoyang, will not disappoint …

What about later?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.

CHAPTER 205 - REFLECTION ON THE COUNTERMEASURE OF THE MIRAGE SHOT 4

When he said last time, Wang Yixin overslept, he hurriedly washed up and ate a few steamed buns before going up the main road at the foot of the Qing Xu Mountain to check out the situation. On the other hand, Du Shaoyang asked his martial uncle for help in setting up an inescapable trap to capture the Night Demon. On the other hand, Du Shaoyang asked his martial brothers to accompany him in setting up an inescapable trap to capture the Night Demon. On the other hand, Du Shaoyang asked his martial uncle for help in setting up an inescapable trap to capture the Night Demon. Dao Master Great Void firmly opposed. However, Du Shaoyang's confident expression reminded him of Senior Brother Mo Feng, and he made an agreement with Du Shaoyang that as long as Du Shaoyang could capture the midnight demon, he would fight the white-haired demonic child.

Du Shaoyang walked out excitedly and thought to himself: This time is great, Master is already old, if I let him fight with the white-haired Demon Tong like this, I would probably have to follow Master's old path. I do not want to lose Master, otherwise I would be in more trouble. I am a second generation disciple of the Clear Void Sect, and in terms of seniority, I am the one to deal with him. It seems that Martial Uncle did lose his own identity when he fought, but before that, the Midnight Demon, Martial Uncle gave me a difficult problem. How can I find him by myself, and catch him? No matter what, he had to find Qing'er first.

Du Shaoyang quickly walked to the door of Li Qingshuang's room. He looked at the door and said, Qing'er, it's me. Is it convenient for me to enter? A voice came from inside, Shaoyang ge, just push the door open and come in. I'm busy right now. Du Shaoyang pushed the door open and entered. He saw Li Qingshuang sitting by the bed, mending something. Du Shaoyang walked over curiously and asked, Qing'er, what are you doing? Li Qingshuang gave it to him to take a look and saw that it was a black shirt. She gently said, Shaoyang ge, do you like it? Du Shaoyang turned it left and right and said happily, Qing'er, did you make this for me? Li Qing Shuang nodded and said, Yeah, Qing'er knows that Shaoyang ge likes black, so she bought black cloth for you to make. I've already got my master to help me make a rough idea about the clothing store at the bottom of the mountain. I'll do the rest of the work myself. Holding the black robe, Du Shaoyang was very touched. He said, Qing'er, I, I don't know what to say all of a sudden. Li Qingshuang smiled and said, If that's the case, then don't say anything for now. The shop owner thought I was some sort of female hero. Du Shaoyang sat beside her with interest and asked, Oh? There's such a thing, tell me quickly. Li Qingshuang pointed to the black clothing and said, Look, Shaoyang ge, I bought a black cloth, and also asked the tailor to make a black shirt for me. Because of this, the shopkeeper thought that I was going to wear these night clothes to do chivalry and righteousness and punish evil. Du Shaoyang couldn't help but laugh and say, Haha, so that's how it is. The shopkeeper has good taste, Qing'er indeed has the temperament of a female hero. Li Qingshuang took the black robe and lowered her head to say, Shaoyang ge, don't joke with me. Qing Er doesn't want to be a chivalrous hero. Just a simple life will be enough. Du Shaoyang retracted his smile and sighed, That's right. In this world, it's often difficult to catch something simple. Li Qingshuang asked, Shaoyang ge, why didn't you go practice your sword today? Du Shaoyang stretched and twisted his neck, saying, I don't think we'll go for now. I already know my sword art well. Besides, there's something going on in Henan recently."

Li Qing Shuang thought that Du Shaoyang was referring to the white-haired demonic child, so she said: Shaoyang ge, you don't have to worry too much. I believe that with our Clear Void Sect's sword techniques, we will definitely be able to defeat the white-haired demonic child. Du Shaoyang knew that she had misunderstood, so he explained, Qing'er, I'm not talking about the white-haired demonic child. If that person wants to come, then so be it. However, a Flower Harvester has recently appeared in Henan, or a Night Demon under his name. When Li Qingshuang heard this name, she accidentally got stabbed in the hand. When Du Shaoyang saw this, he quickly used his hand to hold Li Qingshuang down and said, Qing'er, it hurts, quickly take out that handkerchief. I'll go get the powder for you right now. Just as Li Qingshuang was about to speak, Du Shaoyang had already walked to the cabinet in front of them. He opened the first drawer, took out the powder, and quickly ran over. Du Shaoyang carefully sprinkled a layer of powder on Li Qingshuang's injured finger and asked with concern, Qing'er, how do you feel now? Li Qingshuang reprimanded, Alright, Shaoyang ge, I'm not that delicate. Du Shaoyang smiled and said, I know Qing'er is very brave, but Qing'er is always so precious to me. I can't afford to suffer any harm. When Li Qingshuang heard this, her face flushed red and she slightly lowered her head. Du Shaoyang was also very happy to see her like this.

After a moment of silence, Li Qingshuang opened her mouth and said, Shaoyang ge, my hand is fine. Who exactly is this Midnight Demon that you were talking about? Du Shaoyang reacted and said, This person has recently committed dozens of crimes in our Henan Province, spawning many girls and women. This person specializes in disguise and escape techniques, and the authorities have been pursuing him for many days without any news. I got Brother Wang Yi and Xin Xin to help me investigate this person the other day. I never thought that this beast would actually threaten to come to our Qing Xu mountain to commit a crime, in order to prove his strength and viciousness. When Li Qingshuang heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised. How can there be such a person? Isn't that girl's body and spirit being assaulted by him very much damaged? Du Shaoyang's brows slightly creased as he shook his head and said, If it's just a physical and mental blow, then it's pretty good. Even more girls and women were brutally killed by him, and his face was also ruined, and he even left butterfly marks on his right shoulder. Li Qing Shuang immediately jumped in fright and could not help but cover her mouth as she exclaimed: What? How could this man be so cruel? Shaoyang ge, you must catch him as soon as possible and get rid of him for the people of Henan. Du Shaoyang's expression turned serious as he said, Qing'er, you can rest assured. I had already thought of a solution, but the sect is in a special period and my original plan has failed. I went to find Martial Uncle just now, hoping that he would allow the other Martial Brothers in the sect to follow me down the mountain and search through the net. That way, we would be able to find a suspicious target in the shortest amount of time possible. However, it was because of that white-haired demonic child that Martial Uncle allowed me to complete this mission alone. I knew that Martial Uncle wanted to train me alone, to make my reputation and prestige in the sect better. However, I am truly a bit powerless. That person can change his appearance, and I do not have much time to go down the mountain. This sort of troublesome matter is truly difficult to deal with. Li Qingshuang thought for a moment and suddenly said, Shaoyang ge, I have a way to catch this beast."
