At this moment, in a town a dozen miles away from Zhongnan Mountain.
Inside the inn, Ao Bai lay on the bed with a pale face, staring blankly at the curtain.
"Cough cough, my Golden Bell Shield is completely useless. I didn't expect to lose it here after cultivating for decades.”
After a while, a stuffy cough brought Ao Bai back to his senses. He spoke weakly.
The person she met last night was too terrifying.
The Golden Bell Shield, which had reached perfection after decades of cultivation, couldn't even block a palm strike.
"Then who is it?"
Not far from Ao Bai, Hai Dafu sat on a chair, his face filled with fear and lingering fear.
At this moment, on the table in front of Hai Dafu, there was a thin leaf. Because the leaf had been separated from the tree for some time, the luster of the green had become a little dimmer.
If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation was profound, this leaf would have already pierced through his heart.
Even so, it left a deep wound on his chest.
From last night until now, every time he thought about it, he still broke out in cold sweat.
"Picking flowers and flying leaves to hurt people. Could it be that some martial arts grandmaster happened to pass by Zhongnan Mountain?”
Hai Dafu guessed.
"In the night, all actions are done in a flash. It's too late to see clearly, but..."
Ao Bai hesitated.
"However, that person's figure and temperament look somewhat similar to that Li Jing.”
"Li Jing?"
Hai Dafu was also a little stunned and didn't dare to believe it.
Although Li Jing was skilled in martial arts and was rumored to be proficient in the art of capturing dragons and controlling cranes, killing the crippled Ding Chunqiu was indeed impressive. However, the two of them were the top masters in the Qing Dynasty, and they were beaten to the point of no return.
Just as the two of them were talking, someone knocked on the door and walked in.
"Young Guardian Ao, Eunuch Hai, Princess Jianning is missing!”
The news from the newcomer gave Ao Bai and Hai Dafu a headache.
Princess Jianning had not arranged for the diplomatic mission to go out. She had snuck out and mixed into the diplomatic mission.
And now, he had sneaked off to somewhere else, causing Ao Bai and Eunuch Hai to look at each other in dismay.
"Where's the princess 'maidservant?"
Hai Dafu frowned and asked.
"It's gone too."
Ao Bai and Hai Dafu heaved a sigh of relief when they heard their subordinate's reply.
Princess Jianning's maid was an expert from the Forbidden City, and she was able to protect her well.
……
At this moment, in the courtyard at the foot of Mount Zhongnan.
Li Jing was practicing the Snake and Crane Sanshou to stretch his muscles and bones. His whole body was as light as a cloud and as smooth as water. The airflow in the courtyard was constantly rotating, forming a gentle breeze that blew Zi and Hong Lingbo's clothes.
"This Snake Crane Sanshou is really beautiful.”
Zi couldn't help but exclaim when she saw Li Jing finish his exercise.
Beside him, Hong Lingbo also nodded in agreement.
Li Jing didn't deliberately avoid them, and even occasionally gave them some advice, so the two women also knew a few moves. However, their cultivation was limited, and their power and proficiency were naturally not comparable to Li Jing's.
"Knock knock!"
Li Jing washed up. Before he went out, there was a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw that it was Princess Jianning, who was disguised as a man.
"I've moved to the courtyard next door. As neighbors, we have to be closer in the future.”
Princess Jianning's skin was fair and greasy, and her beautiful eyes were watery. She stood at the door and greeted Li Jing.
"Have you not had breakfast yet? I've already bought it, let's eat together.”
At this moment, she was holding a food box in her hand, and the maid behind her was also carrying two large boxes. They looked very heavy.
Li Jing opened the door and let her in.
"I heard that the Qing Dynasty's diplomatic corps has left. Why are you still here?”
Princess Jianning seemed to be in a good mood when she saw Li Jing let her in. She cheered and hurried to the stone table in the courtyard. She took out the food from the food box and laid it out one by one.
"Mount Zhongnan has beautiful scenery and is a land of outstanding people. I want to rest here for a period of time.”
Princess Jianning replied in a clear voice.
Not long after, Zi and Hong Lingbo also came out of the room. They were surprised to see Princess Jianning. According to their observation, Li Jing was obsessed with martial arts and rarely interacted with outsiders. Why did a familiar girl suddenly appear?
After breakfast, the girls had a better understanding of each other.
After breakfast, everyone dispersed, and Li Jing went up Mount Zhongnan again.
After making a trip to the Double Yang Palace, the Quan Zhen Sect had completely restored order. Last night, there were several thieves who invaded and killed four people. Two of them escaped.
"These thieves came for the Xiantian arts I taught them, but I didn't let them succeed. At least half of them were left behind.”
Ma Yu said hatefully.
It turned out that during the chaotic battle last night, the Xiantian technique was torn into two halves. Half of it was snatched away, and the other half was left behind.
In fact, the Seven Sons of Quanzhen had read through the Xiantian Art and knew its contents. However, this Xiantian Art was Wang Chongyang's handwritten copy, so its significance was extraordinary.
"The two who escaped were both masters. Even the Big Dipper Formation couldn't stop them. Their martial arts skills have traces of Buddhism and the Kongtong Sect.”
Qiu Chuji also said regretfully.
As the person with the highest level of Quanzhen martial arts, Qiu Chuji felt very tired recently. The Quan Zhen Sect had become a pushover. Everyone came to pinch them.
Then, Li Jing told him what happened last night.
The Quan Zhen Sect's Seven Disciples came to the scene to take a look. Their expressions were a little solemn. The thief's martial arts were actually so strong. This was something they did not manage to find out last night.
It was rare to see such a powerful martial artist in Jianghu. Moreover, there was one in the Qing Dynasty envoy group that had just left.
"I heard Oboi is sick!"
Ma Yu's voice was cold.
Now, the Quanzhen Seven had begun to come back to their senses. How could there be such a coincidence? It was probably that Ao Bai had been seriously injured by Li Jing, which was why he had said that he was infected.
However, the Seven Sons of Quan Zhen Sect were also a little shocked. Li Jing's cultivation was even higher than they thought.
Ao Bai was known as the number one warrior of the Qing Dynasty, and his Golden Bell Shield had swept across the battlefield, but he had actually been beaten to such a state.
Looking at the messy scene, one could imagine how desperate Ao Bai was against Li Jing. He was simply crushed.
"So it's Oboi."
Only then did Li Jing know who had fought last night.
Then the person who appeared later should be Hai Dafu. This old man had such high martial arts skills, but he actually carried a firearm with him.
"I was wondering why they were so interested in the Double Yang Palace.”
"Whether it is or not, we'll know once we investigate."
"Do you really think our Quan Zhen Sect is made of mud?”
At this moment, the eyes of the Quan Zhen Sect's Seven Sons flashed coldly.
Although Quan Zhen Sect was righteous, they were not pedantic. When they were bullied, how could they not retaliate?
Quan Zhen Sect and Li Jing thanked him and left.
Early the next morning, Li Jing heard a rumor in the town that the Qing envoy group had been robbed in the county town dozens of miles away. Many people were killed or injured.
