Chapter 393 Don’t you plan to hide?
Yang Zhengshan didn't say much to Ji Hai. The two of them just exchanged a few words and then parted.

Yang Zhengshan continued to move south. He only stayed in Jizhou City for one night and left Jizhou City the next day.

However, when he arrived in Xinping Town, he met another acquaintance.

Wei Cen!

Xinfu Inn, in the guest room.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Wei Cen who suddenly appeared in surprise.

He had just arrived in Xinping Town last night, and Wei Cen came to his door this morning. It was obvious that the Secret Guards had been keeping an eye on him.

"Why are you here?" Yang Zhengshan asked in surprise.

Wei Cen said calmly, "I'll send you something."

"What is it?" Yang Zhengshan was a little curious.

Wei Cen took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to him, saying, "A list of people who want to assassinate you."

Yang Zhengshan took the booklet, opened it, and looked at the contents.

The leader of Nanshan Sect is Dabeidao Fu Shanhong.

The owner of Jiuhua Island is the swordsman Ye Changkai.

Suzhou Heart-breaking Palm to Qiaohe
Luo Jinsong, the head of Yuhengxing Hall

Sun Chunsheng, the Sword-wielding Guardian of Xingyue Sect
Mysterious Ice Sword Lu Ke

There are bats, partridges and poisonous bees in the mountains and rivers.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the content page by page, and the smile on his face became more and more playful. "I didn't expect that the Jade Dew Peach would be so tempting. Wow, nine masters!"

Fu Shanhong, the Great Compassion Sword, Ye Changkai, the Misty Swordsman, and Xiang Qiaohe, the Destroying Heart Palm, are all well-known figures in the Darong martial arts world, and are no less famous than Ji Zhen, the Horizontal Sword.

As for the head of Yuhengxing Hall, Luo Jinsong, he is also a figure. Although he is still young, he is now a ninth-level acquired warrior.

As for Sun Chunsheng, the sword-wielding guardian of Xingyue Sect, Yang Zhengshan was unfamiliar with this person, but he was familiar with Xingyue Sect.

Yuheng Xingtang is one of the Seven Xingtang of Xingyue Sect. The sword-wielding guardian should be a master of the Xingyue Sect’s headquarters.

Lu Ke, the Mysterious Ice Sword, is a man who has just risen in the Darong martial arts world in recent years. It is said that his Mysterious Ice Sword is extremely powerful, and ordinary ninth-level acquired martial artists are no match for him at all.

Shadow Bat, Partridge, and Poison Bee are all long-established killers in Shanhe Tower. As killers, they are always secretive.

Yang Zhengshan didn’t know much about Shanhe Tower, but since they dared to accept the tasks on the gold list, it meant that they were confident in their own abilities.

These nine were at least ninth-level acquired warriors, and among them there was even a half-step innate master.

"Wrong, it's not nine, but we have only found these nine now!" Wei Cen said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded in understanding. The Secret Guards were not omniscient. It was already very difficult for them to investigate these nine people. As for the people they had not discovered, there must be more.

"Are there any innate warriors?" Yang Zhengshan asked with interest.

Wei Cen looked at Yang Zhengshan with a strange look, "No, you are not qualified to ask an innate warrior to take action!"

"..."

Yang Zhengshan was speechless.

This is a bit discouraging.

What do you mean I am not qualified enough to ask an innate warrior to take action? It is obviously a Jade Dew Spirit Peach and it is not worthy of an innate warrior to take action.

If asked whether there are other ninth-level acquired warriors and half-step innate warriors who are willing to take action, Wei Cen cannot give a definite answer. But if asked whether there are any innate warriors who are willing to take action, Wei Cen can give a definite answer.

The reason is very simple, every innate warrior is the focus of the Secret Guards, and every move of the innate warrior is under the surveillance of the Secret Guards.

Of course, this does not mean that the Secret Guards can monitor the innate warriors, but it is a tacit understanding formed between the court and the innate warriors.

I'll find a place to stay quietly, so don't bother me if you have nothing to do.

This is the tacit understanding between the court and the innate warriors in the opposition.

Otherwise, with a group of innate warriors appearing and disappearing like ghosts, the old emperor would probably have a hard time sleeping well in the imperial city.

"Where are they all?" Yang Zhengshan looked at the booklet in his hand again.

Wei Cen replied: "Almost all of them are in front of you!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly and put down the book in his hand.

"Aren't you going to hide?" Wei Cen looked at him strangely.

"Hide? Why hide?" Yang Zhengshan said.

"They're going to kill you!"

"Can they kill me?" Yang Zhengshan said lightly.

"It should be possible!" Wei Cen said uncertainly.

When asked how strong Yang Zhengshan was, Wei Cen had no accurate idea.

Yang Zhengshan had fought at Chongshan Pass before. His opponent was Zhang Yu, the old eunuch beside Prince Qing. The strength he displayed should be that of half a step to the innate realm.

But Wei Cen couldn't be sure whether this was Yang Zhengshan's true strength.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Wei Cen with a half-smile, "I hope they won't disappoint me too much!"

Wei Cen was stunned. Yang Zhengshan didn't say anything more, but stood up and walked out of the room.

"It's getting late, we should set off!"

"By the way, I want to tell you brothers, if you run into trouble, you don't have to take action, just watch from the sidelines!"

Yang Zhengshan said to his close followers.

The followers around him are all experienced soldiers. Now each of them has the sixth level of acquired cultivation. Their strength is far beyond that of ordinary soldiers.

But in front of the ninth level of acquired realm masters, these followers seemed somewhat dwarfed.

"General!" the attendant wanted to say something.

Yang Zhengshan waved his hand and interrupted, "Okay, this is an order. I never fight an unprepared battle!"

Seeing that he insisted, his followers said no more.

They have been with Yang Zhengshan for many years, so they naturally know Yang Zhengshan's temper very well and know that Yang Zhengshan is a man of his word.

Of course, if Yang Zhengshan is in danger, they will rush forward without hesitation to protect Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan walked out of Xinfu Inn and rode his horse towards the outside of Xinping Town.

Just when he left Xinping Town, many martial artists followed him.

Most of these martial artists are just here to join in the fun.

Of course, if possible, they don't mind picking up some bargains.

As for those who really wanted to kill Yang Zhengshan, they were closely watching Yang Zhengshan's every move.

Jizhou belongs to Shanhe Province and is the northernmost state in Shanhe Province. Walking out of Xinping Town means leaving Jizhou.

Continuing south along the official road, you will reach the Yanhui Mountains.

The Yanhui Mountains are the mountains in Shanhe Province, and the river in Shanhe Province is the Ru River.

At this time, an old man wearing a bamboo hat was fishing leisurely on the bank of the Ru River.

A long bamboo pole hit the surface of the river, and a thin line hung down into the water.

The autumn wind was howling, the river was surging, and the old man was as motionless as a rock.

"Brother Xiang, now that you're here, there's no need to hide!" the old man suddenly said.

As he finished speaking, a thin figure walked out from the reeds not far away.

"I didn't expect Brother Ye to have the leisure time to fish here!"

The person who came was none other than Qiao He, the one with the Heart-Destroying Palm.

Xiang Qiaohe looked to be in his sixties, wearing a long scarlet gown. He had a square face that looked weathered, and when he looked around, he was extremely imposing.

Xiang Qiaohe is not a member of a sect, but the opportunities he has had in his life are extremely legendary.

He was born in a humble family. When he was young, he was noticed by a wandering martial artist and learned the basic skills to become a martial artist. However, the martial artist was not very strong and was only a martial artist at the Force-Changing Realm. He only taught Xiang Qiaohe for three years before he died of his injuries.

When he was in his twenties, Xiang Qiaohe became a wanderer, traveling around and making friends everywhere.

It was not until he was thirty years old that he broke through to the acquired realm. According to his life trajectory, his highest level of cultivation in this lifetime would not exceed the fourth level of the acquired realm.

However, opportunities in life are sometimes unpredictable.

When he was about 35 years old, he offended a sect and was forced to flee to Suzhou Town in the northwest of Dayong. When he appeared in the world again, he had already reached the eighth level of acquired cultivation, and as soon as he showed up, he slaughtered all the members of the sect that had hunted him down that year.

Since then, Xiang Qiaohe's Heart-Destroying Palm became famous in the martial arts world and he became a powerful figure in the martial arts world.

"There's no use in being anxious. People will come sooner or later." The old man said calmly.

"Brother Ye, aren't you afraid that someone will get there first?" Xiang Qiaohe said.

"Haha, that requires someone to have the ability to do so!" the old man laughed.

Xiang Qiaohe stared at the old man, "It seems that Brother Ye is determined to win!"

"There's no other way. I have no other choice!" The old man looked at the fishing rod in his hand with disappointment. He slowly stood up, revealing a face as sharp as a knife under his hat.

"No choice!" Xiang Qiaohe hesitated for a moment, "Yes, you and I have no choice!"

The old man in front of him is the master of Jiuhua Island, the swordsman Ye Changkai.

Unlike Xiang Qiaohe, Ye Changkai is a typical martial arts master trained by a sect. Jiuhua Island is a martial arts sect with a long history. It has been passed down to Ye Changkai for thirteen generations.

But whether you are a casual cultivator or a martial artist from a sect, it is not an easy task to become a congenital martial artist.

Talent, opportunity, resources, accumulation, perception and so on are all indispensable.

The process of breaking through to the innate realm is a process of accumulation and development. Whether or not one can break through is not something that can be controlled by human power. It depends entirely on God's will and personal opportunity.

A Jade Dew Peach would not be of much help to them, but as long as it could give them a little more chance, it would be worth their desperate efforts.

Not everyone can be as open-minded as Ji Zhen.

Not everyone is extremely afraid of the court.

Both Xiang Qiaohe and Ye Changkai wanted to fight for the Jade Dew Peach that suddenly appeared.

Their target was undoubtedly Yang Zhengshan's head.
