Chapter 167: The Power of the Hui Dragon Various Abilities_2


"So many plans? Are you planning to wage a full-scale war against the Firewood Iron Shop?"

Chen Ku thought about the at least twenty Divine Force Crossbows at the Firewood Iron Shop and remarked with feigned concern, "After all, the Firewood Iron Shop still possesses an unknown number of Divine Force Crossbows; it's better to be cautious."

This news had also come from Kou Ming.

"Don't worry about that, Junior Brother; we won't act rashly."

Kou Ming's eyes flickered slightly. He stood with his hands behind his back, his posture perfectly straight, exuding confidence. "But once we make our move, it will be total annihilation. We will not leave the Firewood Iron Shop any chance to recover, cutting them out root and stem!"

"That's good. Senior Brother, you also know that I am not good at planning. When it's time to act, I will just follow your lead," Chen Ku said, feigning seriousness.

"Oh, by the way, Junior Brother, you still haven't said where you went today?" Kou Ming asked again, as if casually.

Chen Ku, carrying two lunch boxes behind his back, smiled and said, "Well, eating in the hall every day, Senior Brother Yang and I were both craving something different. Today, we specifically went to the Young Housekeeper at Hongyan Tower to get ourselves a good meal, and we also packed some to bring back to satisfy your craving, Senior Brother."

"It's been rather turbulent outside recently. The Firewood Iron Shop and the Fish and Dragon Association are both keeping an eye on our younger generation. It's best not to go out too often," Kou Ming said, patting Chen Ku's shoulder.

"Yes, Senior Brother is right," Chen Ku replied with a smile. "Next time I'm craving their food, I'll have them deliver. I'll head back to my room now."

Kou Ming stood still.

Watching Chen Ku leave, a trace of contemplation flashed through the depths of his eyes.

It shouldn't be possible.

Junior Brother Chen's talent and aptitude are indeed monstrous. However, poisoning a seasoned expert at the peak of the Fourth Realm, especially within the heavily guarded Xie Residence, would be a difficult feat even for several of our Masters...

So who could this Er Lang be? Could it really be some youngster from the Prefecture City, wishing to make a name for himself with a single shot?

The bamboo grove courtyard was tranquil.

The much-anticipated imperial envoy from the Imperial Court was temporarily residing in this detached courtyard.

Tan Chongrui, dressed in green robes and holding a book, with a cotton coat draped over his back, glanced at the book and then looked down at the power distribution map of Baojiao County. He heaved a deep sigh, his demeanor tinged with constant worry. "Brother Qin, was the sudden murder of the old Sect Leader of the Firewood Iron Shop your doing?"

"It was not."

Qin Yuxian sat cross-legged on the threshold, his large black robe enveloping him like a statue of a guardian deity. He spoke softly, "I am not capable of such a thing. However, with this death at the Firewood Iron Shop, the tripartite balance has been disrupted, creating a disparity of forces. If Your Lordship could now persuade either the Medicine King Hall or the Fish and Dragon Association to join our side, it might smooth the implementation of the new policies in Baojiao County."

"To push for new policies, we would inevitably cause substantial disruption to these prestigious families, forcing them to make painful sacrifices. Such measures require a swift and decisive approach. Originally, I intended to wait until Commander Ye's troops arrived. After subduing demons and establishing our merit, I planned to proceed with a grand display of military might to overwhelm them."

Tan Chongrui placed the book on the desk. "As it stands now, acting early to diplomatically divide and conquer is not a bad strategy either. So, Brother Qin, between the Medicine King Hall and the Fish and Dragon Association, which do you think is more suitable to win over?"

"Since Your Lordship intends so, then let me handle contacting them."

Qin Yuxian placed his hands on his knees and slowly stood up, his eyes reflecting the golden sunset. "Public matters always require patient, repeated negotiations to be resolved."

The new policy reform was like pulling a single hair that affects the whole body; it touched too many interests. Although it was to be implemented in Baojiao County, it encompassed a far broader range of power than just the three local forces.

「Meanwhile, in the Firewood Iron Shop.」

Half a day after his father's death, Xie Qingfeng received news that the Inner Treasury of the Firewood Iron Shop had been robbed.

The pair of Famous Weapons, the Black Gold Tiger-Head Hammers weighing eight thousand jin, had vanished without a trace.

"Er Lang!"

Xie Qingfeng said expressionlessly, "The Grey Clothes Tower likes to do business, don't they? Since they are unwilling to reveal Er Lang's information, then place a 'million-silver bounty' at the Grey Clothes Tower for me. Anyone providing information about the Blade-Handler Er Lang earns one hundred thousand silver, those who assist in capturing him earn five hundred thousand silver, and anyone who brings me his head earns one million silver!"

Once this million-silver bounty was posted at the Grey Clothes Tower, Baojiao County was once again in an uproar.

A million-silver bounty! This was a reward usually reserved for those ranked among the Sect Leaders of the three major forces or their Shopkeepers. Yet now, it was placed on a Blade-Handler.

This caused many of the hidden Blade-Handlers in Baojiao County to secretly give a thumbs up.

For a Blade-Handler to achieve this much is truly incredible!

Meanwhile, Wang Yixian also spread the word in various underground markets.

"That Er Lang killed Xie Wenyuan and will definitely try to claim the bounty. During this time, keep a close eye on everyone entering and leaving the Grey Clothes Tower. Immediately report to me anyone with Third Realm Cultivation or higher."

But he didn't actually hold out much hope.

Because that Er Lang was no fool.

Why would he claim the reward money now? The Grey Clothes Tower, with its large and stable foundation, wasn't going anywhere. If Er Lang could keep his cool, it wouldn't be impossible for him to claim the reward even ten years later...

「In a blink of an eye, two days had passed.」

Chen Ku was in his room, practicing the Nameless Fist Technique he had learned from Shangguan Yun. Counting the days, it had been two or three months since he had secretly learned this technique.

Over these months, Chen Ku practiced daily without fail. He had finally begun to feel a new kind of power in his body that was neither Inner Qi nor Force Power.

But, although he had this power within him, he had no idea what it could be used for. The only thing he knew was that this power seemed to increase whenever he practiced his fists. It had been growing for the past two or three months without encountering any bottlenecks. Each day it increased a little, as if it would continue to grow forever as long as he kept practicing.

WHOOSH.

Chen Ku finished his practice and stood in the room.

Suddenly,

ROAR!

At that moment, a dragon's roar echoed from the Heart Sea in his mind.

The dragon's roar was distant and prolonged, filled with a desolate and sorrowful air.

Success!

Chen Ku suddenly saw, from the perspective of his Heart Sea, the five Transformation Diagrams surrounding an earthy-yellow egg. At that moment, the egg cracked open with a CRACK, and suddenly, a yellow dragon claw emerged!

The claw had five toes, all covered with yellow scales.

ROAR!

Accompanied by a heavy and ancient dragon's roar, the yellow 'Dragon Egg' completely burst open, revealing...

a yellow dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, broke out of the egg. It ascended from above the Heart Sea and soared directly into the clouds.
