A dozen days have passed.

Songyi City hasn't changed much overall.

However, the streets have become even quieter.

Many pedestrians on the road are discussing who has found a way to escape from Songyi City, their faces full of envy.

Escaping Songyi City requires quite a bit of silver taels, and ordinary people can't leave so easily.

Wo Yinghe, the manager of Bidan Tea House, could have left with Lin Zheyu's help, but he didn't. He had many concerns in his heart.

Leaving the city where you were born and raised is not a simple matter.

Returning to the courtyard.

With no one tending for more than ten days, the flowers and plants in the courtyard have begun to grow wildly after a spring rain.

Lin Zheyu checked the items in the secret compartment; they were all there, none stolen.

He changed into a blue robe and headed to Feihong Tower.

When Mr. Xu has no particular business, he spends most of his time at Feihong Tower.

After asking the guards at the entrance to announce his arrival, Lin Zheyu waited less than two minutes before being led to the backyard.

"Sit down, have some tea first. You've had a hard time in Dabashan for more than ten days," Mr. Xu said with a smile.

"Thank you, Gang Leader. It wasn't too hard, but I'm afraid I disappointed you; the person couldn't be found."

Lin Zheyu took out the envelope, bamboo whistle, and jade plaque, and handed them over.

"Searched the entire Dabashan, but couldn't find a trace of the person."

"Dabashan is extremely desolate, not a single person in sight. Did that secluded senior really live in the mountain?" Lin Zheyu asked with some doubt.

"Yes,"

"Back then, he left contact information, saying to find him in Dabashan if there's a need. But it's been over a decade since the agreement; it seems he's already left,"

Xu Jingwu said, his eyes very calm, without much disappointment.

He just used all the forces he could, not finding the senior was within his expectations.

"Gang Leader, has anything major happened recently? The situation in the city seems a bit tense."

"When I returned, I noticed a lot of Wuding Gang's informants, from Beast Roar Mountain to Songyi City, several could be encountered at intervals."

Lin Zheyu said, "Is there anything I can help with in the gang?"

"Appreciate it."

"You only have the strength of the Bone Forging Realm now. Your main task is to focus on practicing martial arts and grow quickly," Xu Jingwu said with a smile.

"While hunting outside the city in the past, I accidentally discovered people from the Xing Family entering Lion Valley."

"I've heard a sect called Nine Nether Sect has appeared in Lion Valley. Could the Xing Family have allied with the Nine Nether Sect in Lion Valley?"

Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment and shared what he knew.

Although he knew Xu Jingwu might already know, he still reminded him just in case.

"Rest assured, I'm already aware of this."

"Chaos armies, the Nine Nether Sect, and the matters of Great Wei — our Feihong Gang won't get involved. The risk is too great; one wrong step can lead to a point of no return."

"If the Xing Family wants to get involved and profit from it, let them."

"The battle at the front is not looking optimistic; it might not be long before they attack Guanning City. You also prepare; if the situation is unfavorable, leave Songyi City."

Xu Jingwu said calmly.

After reporting the matters in Dabashan, Lin Zheyu left.

Xu Jingwu was very busy; just after the report, a middle-aged man came in, seemingly with important matters to report.

Arriving at Bidan Tea House, after chatting with Jia Yanrong and the others for a while, Lin Zheyu went home.

On the way, he casually bought some ingredients for Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup, just in case the prices skyrocketed.

Crackle...

At night, in Lin Zheyu's courtyard, the firewood in the bonfire cracked with a popping sound.

Lin Zheyu and Han Mo sat around the bonfire, roasting with sticks in hand, the aroma spreading.

"Senior Brother, the battle at the front seems to be going poorly. They might soon attack Guanning City. You can have Uncle and Aunt, as well as Sister-in-law, prepare to leave with the Feihong Gang."

Lin Zheyu said, taking a bite of the sizzling, juicy roast meat.

"We've packed long ago, ready to leave at any moment. Once in Bafang City, I'll trouble you to take care of them,"

Han Mo said.

As a city guard, he couldn't leave, and not only him, but also his clan found it difficult to leave.

His parents and wife could leave, thanks to Lin Zheyu's help through the Chen Family's channels.

"It's not a trouble. Helping Senior Brother is my duty," Lin Zheyu said.

Han Mo had helped him a lot, and taking care of his parents and wife was no big deal.

"We haven't sparred in a while. Let me see how your Six Harmonies Blade has come along,"

After eating and drinking their fill, Han Mo stood up and said.

"Alright, Senior Brother, please advise!" Lin Zheyu replied.

He picked up the dull practice blade and assumed a Six Harmonies Blade stance.

"Come, use all your strength. I've advanced to the Qi Blood Realm; I won't be hurt,"

Han Mo said confidently.

Lin Zheyu smiled slightly, not arguing.

If he were to go all out, not just Senior Brother but even Master Liang Song couldn't withstand a single Mountain Shattering Palm from him.

But he wouldn't go all out anyway.

Lin Zheyu kicked off with his right foot, charging ahead without using any Leg Skill.

After mastering the Mountain Shattering Palm, the Six Harmonies Saber Skill has become almost redundant for him.

Nonetheless, Lin Zheyu didn't plan to abandon this saber skill outright.

Once he cultivated the Six Harmonies Blade to Perfection, it would be easier to grasp a powerful saber skill in the future.
