"Thank you for your hospitality today, Senior Ke.”Dongfang Sheng stood up and thanked him.
"May I know where Young Master Dongfang is going?”Ke Bainian asked.
"I have nothing to do. I just want to travel around and broaden my horizons.”
"Oh." Ke Bainian pondered for a moment. Dongfang Sheng was familiar with the Shaolin Temple, and Master Xuan Ku had even taught him martial arts. He must have a good character, and with such martial arts at such a young age, his future was limitless. Although the Crouching Bull Sect was not a small sect and had a rich family background, its martial arts skills were not enough to dominate the Jianghu. The situation in the Jianghu was unpredictable. If they could build a relationship with this person, they would be a strong support for the sect in the future. "Our sect is in Luoyang City. The three of us are out on business and are about to go back. Why don't you go with us for a few days and enjoy the scenery of Luoyang? Our sect will wait for you wholeheartedly and do our best as a host.”
Dongfang Sheng was a little puzzled by the other party's enthusiasm. Logically speaking, Ke Bainian was also a famous martial arts figure in this area, while Dongfang Sheng was a newcomer and should be unknown. Was it because he said he had some friendship with Shaolin's Xuan Ku? He did not have any experience in the martial arts world. He had only focused on practicing martial arts along the way and did not restrain himself. He did not know that the other party had already seen his martial arts.
"If you don't have anything to do, you're either a traitor or a thief.”He thought to himself.
However, on second thought, he had almost nothing, and there was nothing worth the other party's greed. Moreover, with the strength of the Crouching Bull Sect, they should not be able to harm him. Therefore, with the thought of "I'm poor, who am I afraid of?", he said,"In that case, forgive me for disturbing you.”He agreed.
Thus, the four of them set off for Luoyang together. Ke Bainian and the young man and woman didn't have Dongfang Sheng's internal energy, so they rode on horses. Dongfang Sheng felt that it would be too embarrassing if he ran behind them, so he didn't reject Ke Bainian's offer to buy him a horse. However, there was no market nearby. Ke Bainian took out dozens of taels of silver to buy a workhorse from the inn and saddled it for Dongfang Sheng to ride.
Although Dongfang Sheng didn't know how to ride a horse, he was good at Lightness Skill and was agile. He didn't make a fool of himself. He didn't forget to lift his breath and lighten his body while riding on the horse. The horse seemed to be running on air, and its speed wasn't any slower than the three good horses of Ke Bainian and the others. Ke Bainian was surprised to see that the horse had such a strong leg. He thought for a while and understood the reason. He admired Dongfang Sheng's martial arts even more.
A few days later, the four of them arrived in Luoyang.
Along the way, Dongfang Sheng chatted with the three of them and had a rough impression of Luoyang. Luoyang gradually weakened after the Tang Dynasty and was no longer as prosperous as the eastern capital. However, there was still an endless stream of merchants and merchants coming and going, and the business was prosperous. Therefore, there were many martial arts sects in the city. Among them, Beggar's Sect was the most famous. Crouching Bull Sect relied on Ke Clan's rich assets in Henan and was considered one of the top sects in Luoyang. After chatting with Ke Bainian several times on the way, Dongfang Sheng had also guessed that the Crouching Bull Sect treated him with such courtesy in order to rope in an expert in case of an accident. After understanding the other party's request, he was relieved.
Ke Baisui had already informed his brother, Ke Baisui, of Dongfang Sheng's situation through a messenger pigeon. Ke Baisui knew his brother's taste, so he attached great importance to Dongfang Sheng. When Dongfang Sheng and the other three arrived at the Crouching Bull Sect, Ke Baisui personally came out to welcome them, which made Dongfang Sheng very uncomfortable.
Looking at Ke Baisui, Dongfang Sheng remembered that he would soon die at the hands of his enemies. He couldn't help but sympathize with the old man. However, there was nothing he could do. What else could he do? Should she tell him," Old man, hurry up and run, or you're dead?”No one would believe it, and he would not be able to explain himself.
"Sigh, who killed Ke Baisui? I don't think he told me that." Dongfang Sheng thought for a long time, but he still had no recollection. In fact, the book had mentioned it before, but he had not paid attention to it.
He could only not think about it. For the next few days, Dongfang Sheng had nothing to do and wandered around the city. He didn't like to be followed by a group of people, so he didn't need the people from the Crouching Bull Sect to lead the way. He walked on his own and only returned at night. The Ke Clan entertained Dongfang Sheng with banquets every night and gave him dozens of golden leaves as a greeting gift. The arrangements were so thoughtful that he almost forgot about his home.
One day, Dongfang Sheng went out of the city to play and came back late. He didn't want to disturb the host's house, so he didn't go through the gate. Instead, he jumped from the outside of the wall, tapped the wall lightly, and flew to the roof. As soon as he landed on the roof, he saw a black shadow on the roof diagonally opposite him quickly fall into the courtyard and flash straight towards the master's study. The black shadow's movement technique was several times faster than his.
"Could it be the murderer who killed Ke Baisui?”Dongfang Sheng didn't dare to hesitate. He quickly chased after her and took out a stone from a hidden pocket in his sleeve. He placed it between the middle finger and thumb of his right hand. When he reached the door of the study, he saw that the door was slightly open. A man in black had already snatched Ke Baisui's whip. Dongfang Sheng didn't have time to think. He flicked his middle finger, and the stone shot out with the Penetration Formula. Without a sound, it went straight for the Yuzhen acupoint on the back of the black-clothed man's head.
The black-clothed man suddenly felt a sense of foreboding and instinctively dodged. He knew that it was a hidden weapon shot from outside the door. With a low growl, he put his palms together and directly slapped out. The palm force smashed the wooden door into pieces, but there was no one outside.
Dongfang Sheng launched a sneak attack from behind. He did not stay where he was at all and hid in the dark in the courtyard.
The black-clothed man knew that there was a master beside him, so he didn't dare to be careless. He abandoned Ke Baisui and flew out of the house, vigilantly guarding the surroundings.
The two of them were confronting each other, one in the light and one in the dark. The man in black suddenly struck his palm at the fake mountain on the right. His body moved with the palm, and a strong wind blew. Dongfang Sheng was hiding behind the rockery when he felt the force of the palm strike rushing towards him like an avalanche. He was so shocked that he could barely breathe. He quickly pulled himself up several feet from the ground. The power of the black clothed man's first palm had yet to dissipate, and he struck out a second palm in succession, aiming straight at the enemy in the air. Dongfang Sheng had been prepared for a counterattack when he jumped up. He twisted the three stones together and shot them at the man in black's forehead. The black-clothed man did not dare to fight head-on. He had no choice but to withdraw his move and turn around to avoid it. The three stones suddenly changed. They separated from the original straight line and spun towards the black-clothed man's chest. This was Dongfang Sheng's newly created move, called " One Qi Turning into Three Pure Ones ". The black-clothed man did not expect such a mysterious change. His moves were already old, and his body could not borrow strength in the air. He could not avoid it. He could not help but fly into a rage out of humiliation. He waved his right sleeve and three stones actually flew back. Dongfang Sheng was shocked and tried his best to dodge. The two of them grunted and landed on the ground together. It turned out that when Dongfang Sheng shot out three stones with his right hand in the air, his left hand shot out another stone with the Breaking Formula. The man in black did not notice it and was hit in the ankle. Dongfang Sheng's shoulder was pierced by a stone that shot back, and he was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. The man in black, on the other hand, had his internal organs injured by the internal energy of the Breaking Formula, so he was not in a good state either.
In just a few blinks of the eye, the swallows had risen and fallen. Seeing that things were not going to work out, the man in black snorted coldly and jumped over the wall to escape. Dongfang Sheng stood there motionlessly, muttering to himself,"" Shifting Stars, it's actually him…"
Not long after, the disciples of the Crouching Bull Sect, who had been alarmed by the fight, arrived. Dongfang Sheng couldn't take it anymore and fainted.
The next morning, Dongfang Sheng woke up and found that the wound on his shoulder had been wrapped up. There was a cool feeling coming from the wound. He felt that his bones weren't hurt, so he was relieved.
Recalling the thrilling fight yesterday, Dongfang Sheng was secretly scared. If it wasn't for the fact that the other party had encountered the finger flick divine art for the first time and was caught off guard, he would probably have lost his life. Ever since he had achieved success in martial arts, coupled with the fact that he had been surrounded and praised by people in the Crouching Bull Sect every day, he could not help but feel smug. He had indeed underestimated the heroes of the world.
As for his last move last night, it should be the Shifting Stars. It was indeed profound. It was worthy of the name of 'giving him a taste of his own medicine.' The man in black didn't seem to be young. With such a powerful palm, he must be Murong Bo.”
Dongfang Sheng couldn't help but feel happy when he thought about how he had tied with Murong Bo in his first battle. However, he had also discovered many of his shortcomings from last night's battle.
After thinking for a while, he remembered that he still didn't know how Ke Baisui was doing, so he got up and went to the hall.
When they arrived at the hall, several important figures of the Crouching Bull Sect were discussing matters in front of the hall. Among them, the one sitting at the head of the table was the sect leader, Ke Baisui. Dongfang Sheng was slightly relieved to see him. It was not because of anything else, but if Ke Baisui died, his injuries would be in vain.
Ke Baisui was the first to see Dongfang Sheng enter. He quickly left his seat, bowed, and said,""Thank you for saving my life, young hero! From now on, my Crouching Bull Sect and Ke clan will follow orders and go through fire and water without hesitation.”
Everyone followed suit." Thank you, young hero, for helping us without regard for your own safety."”
Dongfang Sheng quickly got Ke Baisui involved. It would shorten one's lifespan if a 60-year-old man bowed to him.
Ke Baisui got up and asked Dongfang Sheng about his shoulder injury. Then, he asked the main question,""Young hero, when you fought with the man in black yesterday, did you see his martial arts background?”
"I actually know his identity and background," Dongfang Sheng said after some thought.”
"Oh? I hope you can tell me." Ke Baisui said.
What can you do if I tell you he's Murong Bo? In addition, Murong Bo faked his death to deceive everyone in the world. If you know that he's not dead, I'm afraid your life will be even more difficult to protect. Dongfang Sheng thought for a moment, then cupped his fists and said to Ke Baisui,""It's not that I don't want to reveal that person's identity, but it's just that Senior's knowledge would be harmful.”"With this person's identity and martial arts, if the assassination failed this time, he definitely wouldn't be so thick-skinned as to attack again." Senior, please rest assured."
