Chapter 138: Dog Beating Stick Technique and Dragon Capturing Technique

When Li Ming saw Wang Yuanba's conflicted and complicated expression, he guessed what he was thinking. He smiled happily and gave him instructions.

"Don't worry. If anyone from Yihua Palace comes looking for you, just tell them that it was us from Qianming Martial Arts School who fought with them. Let them come and seek revenge. It has nothing to do with you."

"How can that be possible? We..."

This was exactly what Wang Yuanba wanted, but he was embarrassed to agree to it outright. He wanted to refute it in order to appear more responsible and loyal.

But Li Ming interrupted, "Let's do it this way. Of course, if the old hero Wang is so righteous that he really insists on taking on all the things, I have no objection. We are in a hurry to get on the road, and we will see you later, old hero Wang!"

As Li Ming spoke, he had already led the horse over, looking anxious to leave.

The other disciples followed behind him.

Li Ming knew too well the character of Wang Yuanba, a veteran in the underworld. He was very careful with his words, but if anything happened, he would definitely be the first to run away, so Li Ming didn't bother to waste too much time talking to him.

If it weren't for this relationship with Lin Pingzhi, with Li Ming's current strength and status, he would never have any intersection with him.

Besides, what Li Ming said was the truth. He was not too afraid of Yihua Palace. Instead, he was looking forward to Yihua Palace coming to cause trouble. It would be best if Palace Master Lianxing came in person.

By then, it might become Jiang Yuyan’s large power bank.

Li Ming was a little looking forward to it. If Jiang Yuyan could use the art of transplanting flowers and trees to drain the energy of a master of Lian Xing's level, to what extent would her strength increase by then?
Li Ming walked away, leaving Wang Yuanba standing there with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Lin Pingzhi was the last one to leave, and he also persuaded Wang Yuan to be overbearing.

"Grandpa, since Master has said so, you don't have to worry too much. Just do as Master says when the time comes."

After hearing Lin Pingzhi say this, the embarrassment on Wang Yuanba's face eased slightly.

"Ping'er, you must take good care of yourself on this trip. The world is dangerous and you must be on guard. These are just small tokens of my appreciation as your grandfather. You..."

Wang Yuanba also wanted to order his servants to bring some gold and silver as gifts, but Li Ming looked down upon these things and would not accept them, so Wang Yuanba planned to give them to his grandson through a roundabout way.

But Lin Pingzhi had already caught up and left behind Li Ming.

"These guys are too arrogant and don't take us seriously at all!"

Wang Yuanba's two grandsons spoke indignantly, but were quickly stopped by Wang Yuanba's eyes.

They were afraid that the other party had a high level of cultivation and was very sharp-eyed and could hear their complaints.

Wang Yuanba’s mansion was originally located in the east of Luoyang City. Soon, Li Ming and his party arrived outside Luoyang City.

When they got outside, the view suddenly opened up and it wasn't so crowded anymore. Li Ming and his disciples jumped on their horses and rode away.

They stayed at Wang Yuanba's house for only one night before leaving in a hurry. They did not have the chance to experience the prosperity of Luoyang City.

Although the disciples were a little playful, they also knew that business was more important. At most, they had a bit of regret on their faces and didn't say much.

Li Ming glanced at Jiang Yuyan beside him.

The aura she exuded was different from yesterday, more restrained.

But with Li Ming's strength, he could easily sense that the other party's cultivation had reached a deeper level.

It turns out that he is already in the late stage of the Innate Realm!

In just one night, Jiang Yuyan had basically refined the absorbed internal energy into a part of herself, and her cultivation level had further improved.

Moreover, compared with the breakthrough she had just achieved yesterday, Jiang Yuyan had almost adapted to this feeling. She had a deeper understanding of the Wedding Dress Magic Skill that she had obtained out of thin air, and she was able to control it better.

When they were on the road before, Jiang Yuyan didn't feel comfortable if she rode her horse at a fast speed. After all, riding a horse was very physically demanding and as a woman, she would get tired easily.

Li Ming and others often had to deliberately slow down to take care of her.

But now, Jiang Yuyan is completely different from before. She sits lightly on the horse's back, and there is no sign of fatigue in either her control of her body or her riding of the horse.

He is heroic and has the bold and generous demeanor of a man of the world.

Li Ming saw it and nodded.

Jiang Yuyan's aptitude for martial arts and her strong comprehension ability are not comparable to those of ordinary people. Her achievements are not entirely due to grafting.

She was very quick to learn both the Art of Transplantation and the Art of Wedding Dress. After suddenly acquiring these skills, she was able to adapt and absorb them at the fastest speed, showing a very high talent for martial arts.

This is something that most people can't do.

Even if she was not allowed to take this shortcut, and was trained along the normal route and allowed to practice other martial arts, Jiang Yuyan would probably be able to achieve considerable success.

But it is definitely not as suitable as the Wedding Dress Magic.

After they walked for a while, they found two Xiantian realm disciples who were already waiting by the road. When they saw Li Ming and his group coming, they immediately joined the team.

"Is everything settled?" Li Ming asked them.

The reason why the two of them were here was that Li Ming had handed over Hua Nu and five others to them and took them out of the city before dawn.

Hua Nu and others had their skills absorbed by Jiang Yuyan, and now have become useless people with no foundation in martial arts, no different from ordinary weak women. In addition, their acupoints and meridians were controlled, so they have no ability to resist at all.

Li Ming didn't intend to kill the five of them directly, but he didn't want to let them go either.

Even though they have lost their cultivation, they still have a lot of secrets about Yihua Palace or the various sects in the martial arts world in their minds, which are extremely valuable.

Li Ming used the soul-transferring technique to extract some useful information from them.

But he was in a hurry to travel and had no time to interrogate him in person.

He asked two Xiantian Realm disciples to hand them over to the members of Black Stone who came to contact them with a secret code.

Although Li Ming was always on the road, he was actually secretly keeping in touch with Feiyou Chen and Li Jiuhua, and received some useful information from them from time to time.

Luoyang City is such a prosperous place, there must be a Black Stone base. As long as we send a secret signal, we can contact them.

However, Li Ming did not tell the two disciples the detailed information. He just asked them to do the job and hand the person over, without asking any other questions.

The loyalty of the two disciples is not a problem. They are efficient and smart, so there is no need to worry too much.

Li Jiuhua has learned a lot in Black Stone recently. He is sure that he will live up to his expectations and can get a lot of useful information from them.

"Master, everything went well and everything was done."

After the two disciples finished speaking, they followed Li Ming obediently.

Although they were somewhat curious, because the person they had contacted before was completely disguised and their faces could not be seen, let alone their identities, their strength was actually not weak.

But they also knew that they shouldn't ask too many questions, so they suppressed their curiosity deep in their hearts.

What's more, the fact that the museum owner entrusted them with this kind of task was a sign of trust in them, which made the two of them feel quite accomplished.

However, they did not expect that the owner of the martial arts gym was actually in a place far away from the gym, and there was someone secretly contacting him. Both of them were surprised.

When he looked at Li Ming again, there was more awe in his eyes. He felt that the museum owner was truly unfathomable, and perhaps there were more forces in the dark that could control him.

The group left Luoyang City in this way.

Li Ming also took the time to visit Lin Pingzhi. When he saw his grandfather, Lin Pingzhi would definitely think of his blood feud.

But now it seems that Lin Pingzhi's mood is relatively stable and he is much more mature than before. After passing Luoyang, the group hurried on and approached the area where Juxian Manor was located.

As they gradually approached their destination, they saw more and more martial artists on the road who had the same goal as them.

It seemed that they were all going to attend the Heroes Conference, and along the way, they heard more and more related discussions.

For example, several forces were inexplicably destroyed, and the imperial court was behind these actions.

Or maybe there have been a few tragic murders in the martial arts world recently, and all of them were blamed on Qiao Feng.

After listening to some of the cases, Li Ming felt both amused and helpless.

It was just some ordinary martial artists who were killed and the murderer could not be found. Why did they put all the blame on Boss Qiao?

However, Qiao Feng’s reputation has changed from a great hero with great righteousness to a villain who is hated by everyone in the martial arts world. Even if he is wronged, no one will come out to speak up for him, so these people in the martial arts world become unscrupulous.

"By the way, have you heard that the two heroes of the You family from Juxian Manor have also invited Li Ming, the owner of Qixia Town? I wonder if he will come to participate in this hero conference."

As someone spoke, there was an expectant look in his eyes.

After all, not everyone has time to go to Qixia Town. Most people in the martial arts world have only heard of Li Ming but have never seen him, so they are naturally a little curious.

"He, isn't he a famous coward? He hides in the Seven Heroes Town every day and never comes out. I even wonder if his martial arts can only be used in that area." Someone teased unscrupulously.

"I also feel that he will not come to the Hero Conference."

"This Master Li has become quite famous recently. My ears are almost callused from hearing about him so much. Hey, who do you think is more powerful, Master Li or the villain Qiao Feng?" someone with a curious mind asked.

"I think it's still Qiao Feng! Although he's a wicked villain, he's really powerful. Otherwise, why would we have to make such a big fuss and hold a heroes' conference to deal with him? That Master Li is just famous, and he became famous later, so he may not be his opponent."

"That's what I think. Rumors are mostly based on lies. There's no need to take them too seriously."

These words attracted many gangsters nearby to echo them.

At this time, they were all resting at a tea stall by the roadside, chatting and talking about everything.

Not far away, there were several young people in silver-white clothes sitting.

It was Li Ming and others.

Naturally, what this group of martial artists had just said fell into their ears exactly.

"Master!"

A disciple from the martial arts school whispered to Li Ming indignantly.

They felt that the words of the martial artist were an insult to the owner of the hall!

I wish I could draw my sword right now and teach these nonsense-talking martial artists a lesson.

"It's okay, it's okay, just be patient."

Li Ming just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

When a person becomes strong enough, he will be too lazy to bother with such meaningless things.

In comparison, Li Ming was more interested in the other interesting stories in the martial arts world that they were talking about.

"Hey, have you heard that Divine Doctor Xue will also appear in Juxian Manor this time?"

"Yes, that's the Doctor Xue who is known for his miraculous healing skills! I heard that his medical skills are so amazing that they can even bring the dead back to life."

"I happened to have fought with someone a few years ago and have some hidden diseases. If I can see Doctor Xue this time, I will definitely ask him to help me treat it."

"Old Xu, what hidden disease do you have? I heard that you and your sister-in-law are not getting along well in some aspects. I'm afraid you want to ask for some elixir to restore your masculinity, right?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Hahaha……"

From time to time, there were teasing sounds coming from all around.

These martial artists are rough people to begin with, so the topics they talk about are naturally more unrestrained.

Jiang Yuyan, who was sitting next to Li Ming, blushed when she heard this and looked at her master awkwardly.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Li Ming's gaze shifted and fell on a figure sitting not far opposite him.

I saw that the figure was very tall, wearing a shabby long gown, with gray hair, and seemed to be quite old.

But even if the other person deliberately hunched over, he could not hide his burly figure, and his face was rather old and full of wrinkles.

Originally, the other party's breath was concealed very well and did not attract Li Ming's attention.

But just when these martial artists were talking about Doctor Xue, two rays of light suddenly shone from his originally cloudy and dim eyes.

Although it was fleeting, Li Ming still captured it keenly.

And in just a moment, Li Ming seemed to sense a familiar breath from the other party.

Li Ming thought about it for a moment and immediately realized the source of this familiar feeling.

He is proficient in many unique skills of the Beggars' Sect, including the Three Strike of the Coiled Dragon. He usually cooperates with the Beggars' Sect and trains talents for them.

Moreover, Li Ming had previously fought against the Beggar Gang's Gong Chang Zhang's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

The familiar aura just now was exactly the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!
The opponent's strength was unfathomable and was well hidden. It was only in that brief moment when he lost his concentration that a few flaws were revealed.

Moreover, if Li Ming had not reached the Grand Master level, it would have been impossible to capture him.

The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is the Beggars' Sect's secret, and there are only a handful of people in the world who know how to use it.

After looking him up and down again, Li Ming had roughly guessed the other party's identity.

I never thought I would meet him here!
Li Ming was also extremely surprised, it was simply too much of a coincidence.

Li Ming stood up calmly and approached the other person as if he was taking a casual walk.

After taking a few steps closer, a system prompt suddenly popped up in my mind.

[Match detected: Qiao Feng]

[Successfully matched martial arts: Dog Beating Stick Technique, Dragon Capturing Technique]

[Dog Beating Stick Technique Limited Time Promotion: 1500 Attribute Points, Dragon Catching Technique Limited Time Promotion: 1500 Attribute Points, would you like to purchase? ]

Sure enough, this burly old man was Qiao Feng in disguise!

No wonder the other party is so concerned about Doctor Xue’s whereabouts.

At the same time, the burly old man opposite also looked up and met Li Ming's gaze. He seemed to have noticed that he was observing him, and a look of alertness immediately appeared in his eyes.
