V1.Chapter 144

With Guo Nu more in the team, everyone like Ye Wen was not as relaxed as before. The disciples didn't dare to say too much when they were on their way. That Guo Nu heard.

In comparison, Xu Xian was more relaxed, and Guo Nu approached him calmly, if he only saw the two of them at this moment, it would be like two friends walking and chatting.

"I've heard about Mr. Xu's name for a long time, but I didn't expect to see him in person today. I'm so lucky!" Guo Nu had only heard that the famous Xu Xian had joined the Shushan School, and he seemed to have learned that he was not weak. Kung Fu. But he didn't care about it, he just thought it was a frail scholar who wanted to play and went to practice martial arts to relax.

It was later found out that this Xu Xian's swordsmanship was exquisite and extraordinary, so he was a little bit refreshed. But at that time, I didn't take it too seriously. After all, the swordsmanship is exquisite, and it doesn't necessarily mean the kung fu is strong. What's more, Xu Xian has almost never fought against any strong person, no one can say to what extent this skill is.

Even if it is known that Lu Tian was beheaded by Xu Xian, judging from the information he heard, Xu Xian killed Lu Tian with a sneak attack, which is not a real skill.

Therefore, Xu Xian is serious about helping everyone in Tianle, and he is not as threatening as Ning Ruxue, because Ning Ruxue defeated Lu Tian head-on. People who can have such skills in Pingzhou are all called A famous person.

This kind of thinking didn't change much until seeing Huayi again and hearing the true strength of the Shushan faction from her mouth.

"What did you say? Then Ye Wen knows how to cast sword energy with bare hands?" Guo Nu's first reaction was the scene of Ye Wen's finger slicing on the wine glass at the banquet that day. At that time, he felt that it was not an ordinary fingering technique. , It felt like Ye Wen was holding a dagger.

After that, he was quite afraid of Ye Wen's skill. He didn't want Hua Yi to tell him today that that hand was nothing at all. Ye Wen could completely condense his inner strength into a sharp sword energy and release it at least two to three feet away. far.

"I saw him use his sword energy to inscribe on the wall of Mount Shu with my own eyes! If Elder Guo doesn't believe it, he can go to Mount Shu himself. As long as he reaches the foot of the mountain, he can see the big word "Shu Mountain!"

Guo Nu heard that there was cold sweat on his forehead. He had been constantly improving Ye Wen's cultivation, but in terms of combat power, Ye Wen might be more powerful than he thought.

Originally, he wanted to stop Ye Wen because he had something to rely on. Although his Golden Bell Kung Fu practice had not reached a great level, he could ignore ordinary punch and foot injuries. Even ordinary weapons can hardly hurt him. With this miraculous body protection, even if he can't beat Ye Wen, maintaining an unbeatable situation is not a big problem. But who would have thought that Ye Wen would actually know how to condense his inner strength into sword energy. If the sword energy is sharp enough to break his face, his golden bell kung fu, which has been so hard to achieve in a small way, is very likely was scrapped.

"I know that Elder Guo's biggest reliance is the Tathagata Vajra Fist, and the golden bell cover kung fu... However, I don't think Elder Guo's body protection kung fu can hold up to Ye Wen's Zixiao Dragon Sword! "That's not enough, Hua Yi then threw out a piece of news that surprised Guo Nu even more: "What's more, if Ye Wen wants to make trouble for our gang, I'm afraid none of us can stop it except my master or Lin Gang leader." Get him down!"

Guo Nu didn't like to hear these words: "Although Ye Wen is very powerful in martial arts, he is not so tyrannical? Could it be that he can send me away without any injuries? Elder Hua is too peeping It's mine!"

Hua Yi smiled lightly: "Elder Guo, don't be upset! What they mean is that if Ye Wen wants to settle the grievances with Chief Lin, then if we make a move, I'm afraid we won't be able to touch Ye Wen himself at all!"

"What do you mean?" Guo Nu's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly thought of a very bad possibility.

Seeing his expression, Hua Yi knew that he had already guessed it, but he couldn't be sure until he heard the words from his own mouth, so he had to explain the matter clearly: "Ye Wen's junior and junior sisters are not far behind him in kung fu! Moreover, His Junior Sister Ning is also proficient in a sword qi technique, although it is not as overbearing as Ye Wen's, but it is more flexible and easy to guard against!"

When Guo Nu heard this, she didn't need to ask Ning Ruxue how high her cultivation level was. He only heard that the woman could also use sword qi, so she was by no means an ordinary martial arts practitioner. Gein's kung fu of exercising energy like this consumes a lot of internal energy. If one's cultivation has not reached a certain level, how can one control the exuded energy freely?

What's more, what is being manipulated is still extremely condensed sword energy, which is several times more difficult than controlling ordinary energy - it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to control the direction of coming and going while maintaining the condensed sword energy.

He didn't know that no one in the Shushan School could compare with Ye Wen in terms of the ability to manipulate true energy. With Ye Wen's cultivation, he could barely control the whereabouts of the Zixiao Dragon Qi Sword. It's just going straight to hurt people with force.

Ning Ruxue was able to be so relaxed and at ease only because of the characteristic of the innate body-shattering and phaseless sword qi after the mutation. What's more, she was full of sword qi, and what she released was naturally sword qi, so she didn't have to worry about it at all. To keep the sword qi condensed is not as troublesome as when Ye Wen used the Zixiao dragon qi sword.

Guo Nu didn't know this, but said that Ning Ruxue's kung fu was extremely powerful, and his heart was even more anxious. He didn't know how much strength the Shushan faction was hiding. In this martial arts conference, whether his Tianle gang can withstand this huge variable ——Ye Wen has been upgraded from a variable to a huge variable.

At the same time, Hua Yi also said that Xu Xian's kung fu is not bad, although she didn't do it personally, but from his usual demeanor and occasional few words, she also knew that Xu Xian had already stepped into the threshold of innateness. Pure Yang inner energy has been cultivated to a great extent.

"It's just that Xu Xian seems to have suffered some kind of trauma when he practiced Qigong back then. He got a lung disease, and it hasn't recovered yet. It seems to have worsened a few days ago, and he has to cough a few times from time to time."

Hua Yi rolled his eyes, and finally remembered this, and wondered if he could help Guo Nu.

This is why Guo Nu started talking to Xu Xian from time to time, in order to find out more facts about Xu Xian.

"I heard Mr. Xu seems to be a little ill. I don't know what's going on now? Although I don't have medical skills, the Tianle Gang has a business all over Kyushu. If you want to help you find some talented treasures to treat diseases, it's no problem!"

Xu Xian smiled slightly, and quickly thanked: "Then I would like to thank Elder Guo first! My illness is not a serious matter. Originally, this masculine inner strength can be resolved after I have cultivated it! It's just that I suffered from it again a few days ago. A little cold will make this lung disease worse, so it will take some more time!"

Elder Guo's thoughts changed sharply, and he thought to himself: "Cold? Pure yang energy? It seems that his lung disease is caused by the cold air entering the lungs, but how can a master with pure yang energy be injured by the cold air? Unless that The cold air is so overbearing that he can't resist it at all!" He only said that Xu Xian was injured after practicing the Pure Yang Kung Fu, although it is true to say so, but in fact his injury was suffered before the completion of the Pure Yang Kung Fu. That's why it's so difficult.

After thinking about it, Guo Nu thought of the Tianshan School's Ice Soul Cold Kung Fu, after all, this kung fu is famous for its yin and cold: "I haven't heard of any master from the Tianshan School coming to Pingzhou... Could it be someone else who knows the energy of yin and cold?" Your master has clashed with this Xu Xian?"

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of the result, and he just laughed dryly on his face, chatting nonsense with Xu Xian.

But Xu Xian didn't care. He had discussed it with Ye Wen yesterday, because Hua Yi had lived on his book mountain for so long, and there were many things that he couldn't hide. Since you can't hide it, you might as well just say it openly, and it can make the other party spend more brains.

"It's called what is false is true, what is true is false, what is false and what is true, mixed and unclear; let Guo Nu have a headache..."

Along the way, although everyone talked constantly, their speed did not slow down at all, and they soon entered the border of Hezhou. It only took a few more days to arrive at the place where the martial arts conference was held——Beijian The mountain gate of the gate is now.

"Elder Pei of this gang was born in Beijianmen. This time, our Tianle Gang has some honor from Elder Pei, so the issue of accommodation and other issues has been resolved in advance. You are walking with this elder, the problem of board and lodging Don’t need to worry too much.”

Ye Wenwen also wondered why he only saw Guo Nu alone, even though the elites of the Tianle Gang were sent from the main rudder, but the sub-helm would not be alone, right? Hearing this, I found out that the people here had already set off early to arrange some affairs near the North Sword Gate. Only Guo Nu was left waiting for their group at the main road.

After entering the town that day, Hua Yi walked to the front without everyone noticing, and finally walked into the inn where Guo Nu was. Attracting everyone over - I didn't expect that this woman would have such a purpose in chattering and bouncing in front of everyone, and after thinking about it, I felt that it was powerful.

Of course, it was also because Ye Wen didn't pay much attention to it at the time. He was too busy looking at the scenery around him, and didn't pay attention to these things at all - the other disciples were similar, this was a sign of being inexperienced and inexperienced.

After much deliberation, Ye Wen suddenly said: "The Gui Gang is full of elites this time, presumably they are looking forward to showing their strengths at the grand martial arts festival!"

Guo Nu glanced at Ye Wen, thought for a while before smiling and said, "I don't want to hide from the head of Ye, my Gang Lin intends to challenge several masters in this conference, so as to expand the industry of my Tianle Gang! If it can achieve...the interests of Pingzhou, it's okay for us Tianle Gang to let it out..."

What he said was a kind of showdown, and he clearly expressed to Ye Wen: Our Tianle Gang has a bigger goal now, and we can't make things difficult for the Shushan faction for the time being, and we are even willing to make friends with you, if your Shushan faction agrees Don't make trouble for the Tianle Gang at this meeting, they can properly give up the interests of Pingzhou and let the Shushan faction take over!

Ye Wen could naturally hear the meaning, but he was analyzing in his heart whether this matter would be beneficial or detrimental to the Shushan faction!

In fact, the so-called surrender of part of the interests of the Tianle Gang is nothing at all. Although Tianle Gang and Shushan School are both Jianghu sects, their living forms are completely different.

The Shushan faction is closer to a local pillar industry. Its foundation and development power are limited to a certain range, and its operations are all related to livelihood industries. Although there is also money to be made, it is all incidental and not important. Everything is focused on the survival and inheritance of the sect.

The Tianle Gang is similar to a chain store. He takes profit as the fundamental purpose and works hard to fight for profits. In fact, it is to make his own industry more profitable, not for the inheritance of some sect.

At the same time, the biggest industry of the Tianle Gang is the sales of groceries and entertainment places such as brothels. Because the sub-hosts are spread all over the country, it is convenient for them to sell groceries. He can buy a large number of local low-priced specialties in a certain place and transport them to distant places. To sell at high prices, back and forth.

The brothel is because it is an important entertainment project at this time, it is an excellent place for entertainment for rich and noble families, and the imperial court can't help it, the wealthy and powerful Tianle Gang will naturally join in. Although their industry has caused the Tianle Gang to be criticized by many big factions, at most they can finish with a few sentences, and they still make a lot of money.

There are other profitable businesses, but they are not as large as these two. Only from the analysis of these two important industries of the Tianle Gang, as long as the Tianle Gang still has a branch in Pingzhou, then they can continue to purchase some special products in Pingzhou. As for the brothels, Pingzhou's sparse population meant that the business of the brothels was not as good as that of other places. It was only necessary to keep one or two of the best businesses, and the others were closed to save money.

Therefore, the Tianle Gang has actually lost nothing at all. Although it has withdrawn a lot of power in performance, the key things are still stuck in Pingzhou.

In addition, if the Tianle Gang can really achieve their goals, their development center must be slightly adjusted and transferred to those more affluent places. With concentrated efforts, some human and financial resources in Pingzhou should be transferred. , so the so-called surrender of benefits is actually something that the Tianle Gang has to do.

"Hey! The old fox!"

Although he wanted to understand the key point, Ye Wen did not refuse. Because of this kind of thing, it is indeed beneficial to him and not harmful to the Shushan faction. Regardless of why the Tianle Gang mobilized its forces, in short, the Shushan faction will gain more room for development because of this. And without a strong enemy tiger watching, his Shushan faction can live a little more comfortably and get more relaxed development time.

Ye Wen smiled and said nothing, but Guo Nu was not so relaxed, and felt a little uneasy, not knowing how Ye Wen would reply. If he agrees, it will undoubtedly be a great thing for the Tianle Gang. If Ye Wen expresses that he must compete with the Tianle Gang, his words will undoubtedly be vented.

This move is really dangerous, but if it can be done, it will definitely be a great benefit to the development of the gang. Guo Nu said these words only because of this thought. Fortunately, as the head of the four elders, he still has the right to be the leader, and he is not worried about being blamed by the leader if things fail.

What made him depressed was that Ye Wen never made it clear whether he agreed or not! He originally wanted to use it as an excuse, so that the Shushan faction could temporarily form a short-term alliance with the Tianle gang, but it still didn't work.

This kind of thing dragged on and on, until they arrived at the foot of the North Sword Peak where the North Sword Gate was located, but they couldn't be sure.

"The bad news is that Ye Wen never agreed to my proposal!" After seeing Pei Wei, Guo Nu laughed at himself and said, "The good news is that that guy didn't immediately have a showdown with my Tianle Gang! "

Pei Wei was quite helpless, and only said: "Elder Guo, doesn't that mean he didn't say anything?"

Guo Nu shook his head, "Not counting! In fact, this situation is still a good thing for us. If Ye Wen didn't turn his face directly, there is still room for change. I guess this person wants to observe the strength of our Tianle Gang. If he If he feels that he can't take it down or that he needs to pay a huge price, he won't do it, and keep an appropriate distance from my Tianle Gang, it's not friendly, but it won't be an enemy for the time being!"

Pei Wei thought for a while, and finally thought of the key point: "Elder Guo said that the Shushan faction wants to retain their strength to deal with Lei Jianmen?"

Guo Nu nodded: "Or it's more appropriate to deal with Lei Jianmen. Then Lei Jianmen and Shushan faction have already waged battles with each other. It's just because the martial arts conference is about to be held that they didn't fight directly. Lei Zhenshan even spoke directly. I want to ask the hillbilly of the Shushan faction to pay for my son's life! The two of them are now in an endless situation, and it is a small festival between us and the Shushan faction!"

At this time, Hua Yi just came in and said: "Shushan faction and Lei Jianmen will have a battle in this martial arts conference, why don't we take the opportunity to eliminate them when the Shushan faction is exhausted?"

Guo Nu thought for a while, and finally had to sigh: "The biggest enemy of our Tianle Gang this time is Dongfang Yi, the leader of the Qinglong Society. This person is so skilled that he is the number one player in the current martial arts platoon. Leader Lin needs all If you fight this person with all your strength, no matter whether you win or lose after the competition, I'm afraid you will have to use force to fight against Ye Wen again..."

Hua Yi curled his lips and said, "Isn't there still my master?"

Guo Nu scratched his head, "Although the respected master is extremely skilled, he rarely makes a move. This time I came here just in case, and I don't know if the respected master will really take over this matter! So, no Use your judgment!"

Hua Yi didn't take it seriously, she just turned her head and walked straight away: "When the master arrives, I'll talk to her in person!" Before the words were finished, he was gone.

It wasn't until she walked for a while that Pei Wei whispered: "Elder Hua's position may be lost!"

"Huh?" Guo Nu was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "Don't talk nonsense..." He didn't believe that Hua Yi's position as an elder could no longer be seated, even if she was a little willful. But she has always been like this, and she hasn't seen it before, so why is she about to lose her position as an elder this time? What's more, her master, even the head of the gang is a little bit afraid, who in the gang can touch this proud girl of heaven?

However, Pei Wei lowered his voice and said, "It's not nonsense. Two days ago, the leader of the gang had a brother Zongduo who came to make an outpost in advance. From his mouth, he learned that both the leader of the gang and the woman surnamed Shen were against Elder Hua's arbitrariness this time. I am quite dissatisfied with being the master, although the woman surnamed Shen didn't say anything serious, but she said that she can't bear Elder Hua's willful temper."

Guo Nu quickly stopped Pei Wei's words: "Don't mention this matter again, these things are not what you and I should worry about! Otherwise..." Otherwise, he didn't say anything, and there is no need to elaborate. It's just that Guo Nu vaguely felt that something big was about to happen to the Tianle Gang.
