Chapter 398 Find a more powerful backer!

Ye Changkai is not dead yet. He is trying hard to pull out the black iron spear that has pierced his chest.

If it were normal, he could naturally pull out the black iron spear effortlessly, but now the black iron spear was stuck in his chest, piercing his lungs, and the heavy black iron spear made him feel powerless.

Yang Zhengshan grabbed the gun and pulled out the black iron spear.

"You~~"

Ye Changkai wanted to say something, but unfortunately Yang Zhengshan had no interest in talking nonsense with him.

The tip of the spear stabbed down and pierced his throat.

Afterwards, Yang Zhengshan shot Lu Ke and Fu Shanhong again. Only after he was sure that all four were dead did he retract the black iron gun.

After he had done all this, the warriors who were watching around him finally reacted.

Everyone looked at Yang Zhengshan as if they had seen a ghost.

Although Yang Zhengshan killed Shadow Bat, Partridge and Poison Bee, which shocked everyone, it was not so unacceptable.

These three people are killers from Shanhe Tower. Although they are also masters, they are actually only proficient in the art of assassination. In terms of strength alone, they still have a big gap with the half-step innate masters.

But Ye Changkai, Fu Shanhong, Xiang Qiaohe and Lu Ke are different. They are all half-step innate masters.

However, Yang Zhengshan fought against four people alone and killed four of them in one fell swoop, which was simply incredible.

The setting sun sank into the river, and a waning moon hung on the branches.

The sparkling river water was stained with the cool moonlight, and the cool evening breeze blew into everyone's heart, making everyone shiver.

Yang Zhengshan ignored the surprise of these people. He waved his hand, and the sound of horse hooves rang out.

Hehehe~~
Hongyun came to his side, raised his big head, stared with a pair of eyes as big as light bulbs, looking particularly majestic.

Yang Zhengshan climbed onto the horse.

"General!" A group of followers also came forward.

"Well! Let's find a boat to cross the river!" Yang Zhengshan said calmly.

This battle is over.

Although the ending was not satisfactory, he still gained a lot.

After this battle, the Yi Mu Chang Chun Qi in his body became more condensed, and the meridians in his body seemed to become more active.

This means that he is a little closer to the innate realm.

Although he has not yet entered the innate realm, Yang Zhengshan can feel that he is very close to it.

He no longer needed to look for an opportunity because he had already felt it.

Next, he just needs to accumulate slowly, and entering the innate realm is just a matter of time.

He had gotten the result he wanted.

As for Ye Changkai and others, haha, the whetstone has lost its function, so there is naturally no need to keep it.

……

The night is deep.

On the surface of Ru River.

A ship was slowly moving upstream.

Luo Jinsong stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the waning moon floating in the water.

He already knew the outcome of the battle at the dock.

Yang Zhengshan fought against four people alone and killed four masters who were half a step away from the innate realm.

This news spread like wildfire, and it spread throughout Shanhe Province before overnight, and spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

"Hall Master!"

Ji Zhengfei, the fourth in command of Yuhengxingtang, came behind Luo Jinsong.

"Yeah!" Luo Jinsong nodded slightly.

Ji Zhengfei looked solemn, "Master, what should we do next?"

Today, they killed Li Chunsheng, which meant that they had completely broken off with the Xingyue Sect.

Next, they will inevitably become the mortal enemies of Xingyue Sect.

Given the Xingyue Sect's style of doing things, they will definitely not let them go.

Luo Jinsong, however, had a relaxed look on his face. Yes, he was relaxed, more relaxed than ever before.

For him, leaving Xingyue Sect was like breaking free from shackles. He felt an unprecedented sense of ease and freedom.

All along, they, Yuheng Xingtang, have been like slaves of Xingyue Sect, enduring the oppression from Xingyue Sect, following the orders from Xingyue Sect, and racking their brains to complete the tasks given to them by Xingyue Sect.

Apart from anything else, the one hundred thousand taels of silver a year alone was like a mountain pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe.

Now that they are finally freed, they feel like they have been reborn.

"What to do? It's simple, find a more powerful backer!" Luo Jinsong said with a smile.

"A more powerful backer?" Ji Zhengfei wondered.

Luo Jinsong turned his head and looked at him, his eyes flickering, "What do you think of General Yang?" Ji Zhengfei thought, "General Yang is very powerful and kind, and has a very high reputation in Chongshan Town and Liaodong. If I surrender to him~~"

"I'm just afraid he won't be willing to accept us. After all, we have a big problem!"

"Hahaha~~" Luo Jinsong laughed, "You are right."

"In General Yang's eyes, we Jianghu warriors are probably not as good as a group of military households!"

"But we still have hundreds of disciples. I heard that the Zhenbiao Camp in Chongshan Town suffered heavy losses some time ago. Recently, the Zhenbiao Camp is recruiting soldiers. If we join the Zhenbiao Camp at this time, do you think General Yang will accept us?"

Ji Zhengfei suddenly realized, "The hall master is really thoughtful."

If they just surrender to Yang Zhengshan, Yang Zhengshan may not be willing to accept them.

Yang Zhengshan is an important official in the court, and there is no need for him to get involved with a gangster force.

Moreover, with the current strength of the Yang family, there is no need to win over a gang force.

But if Yuheng Xingtang is willing to join the Zhenbiao Camp, it would be different.

If a warrior joins the army, he will be treated preferentially. And if all the martial arts forces like Yuheng Xingtang join the army, the army will naturally be very welcoming.

Of course, in order to prevent underworld forces from forming groups in the army, the imperial court would generally break them up and assign them to different armies.

Now is the time when Chongshan Town needs people. Yang Zhengshan naturally has no reason to refuse Yuheng Xingtang's offer to join the army.

Luo Jinsong noticed this point.

As long as they join the army, what does it matter how powerful the Xingyue Sect is?
Do they dare to go to Chongshan Pass and act wildly?
……

early morning.

Jizhou, Hengdao Gate.

Ji Zhen wiped the sweat off her face with a towel, and Ji Hai stood by and served her.

"That's basically the situation. The Shadow Bat, Partridge and Poison Bee from Shanhe Tower, Tong Jiuxin from Yuanzhou, Xiang Qiaohe from Suzhou, Shanhong from Nanshan Sect, Ye Changkai from Jiuhua Island and Lu Ke from the Snowfield were all killed by General Yang!"

Ji Hai said in a low voice.

Ji Zhen handed the towel to Ji Hai and said with a faint smile: "It seems that the master has saved his life!"

"Master, why do you say that?" Ji Hai was puzzled.

"If my master had not resisted the temptation of the Jade Dew Peach, there would have been just one more soul killed by General Yang's gun!" Ji Zhen said.

Although he had no intention of competing for the Jade Dew Peach from the beginning, he couldn't help but feel fortunate when he heard the result.

Ji Hai was silent. He had wanted his master to kill Yang Zhengshan before, but now it seems that his master’s decision was the right one.

"General Yang's strength is so strong? Could it be that he has already broken through to the Xiantian realm?"

Ji Zhen shook his head slightly, "General Yang is indeed unexpectedly strong, but he has not yet reached the innate realm!"

"If he has reached the innate realm, then Ye Changkai and others will have no chance to make a move!"

Half-step innate and innate sound like they are only half a step apart, but in fact they are two completely different levels.

After all, Half-Step Innate is still in the acquired realm, which is the pinnacle of the acquired realm and cannot be compared with the innate realm at all.

"Then why is General Yang so powerful?" Ji Hai was very puzzled.

Ji Zhen thought about it and said, "This may be related to the martial arts that General Yang practiced, or it may be because General Yang's physique is relatively strong!"

“Although they are all half-step innate, the gap between them is actually quite large.”

Ji Zhen is also a half-step innate master. Although he has just condensed the innate true qi in recent years, there is no doubt that he has reached the half-step innate realm.

In terms of strength, he admitted that he was not as good as Ye Changkai and Xiang Qiaohe, but the gap between him and these two was not very big.

On the contrary, it seems that he is not in the same realm as Yang Zhengshan.

Ji Zhen was a little confused about this and could only attribute it to Yang Zhengshan's special physique and martial arts skills.

"You should prepare yourself. Go to Chongshan Pass in the next few days. First, congratulate General Yang on his title of Marquis. Second, help rebuild the town's standard camp in Chongshan Town!"

"The disciples of our Hengdao Sect are pretty good. Select a dozen of them who are willing to join the army and send them to Chongshan Pass!"

It is not uncommon for disciples from a sect to join the army, but in general the sect neither supports nor opposes disciples joining the army.

Simply put, if the disciples are willing to join the army, they will not stop them, and if they are unwilling, they will not force them.

The reason is simple. Disciples from a sect who join the army are rarely given important positions.

The imperial court's attitude towards the martial arts sects has always been one of acceptance combined with a certain degree of caution.

The reason for this is that the Jianghu sects have a criminal record. In the history of Darong, there have been cases where the sects have controlled the military power and held the court hostage.

In order to prevent sectarian forces from becoming too powerful in the military, the imperial court has always imposed many restrictions on sectarian forces.

In the past, there were disciples from the Hengdao Sect who joined the army, but the highest official position they held was only a deputy commander, not a chief officer, just an assistant officer.

This time, Ji Zhen supported the disciples of Hengdao Sect to join the Zhenbiao Camp of Chongshan Town, and also wanted to show goodwill to Yang Zhengshan.

"Disciple understands. I will arrange it right away!" Ji Hai said.

"Well! Go ahead!"

Ji Zhen waved his hand, indicating that Ji Hai could go back to work.
