Chapter 26: Abandoned Qingcheng Disciple, Yu Canghai

Is he Lin Pingzhi?

Looking at the young hunchback in front of him, Li Ming also remembered that in the original plot of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Lin Pingzhi indeed disguised himself as a hunchback when his family was destroyed and he was being hunted by the Qingcheng Sect.

Because of this, Lin Ping was later mistakenly believed to be a hunchbacked evil master - the descendant of Ming Tuomu Gaofeng of Saibei.

Some time ago, Li Ming was also in Tongfu Inn. He heard from a passerby about the changes in the Fuwei Escort Agency. They were targeted by Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect and their entire family was wiped out.

But Li Ming didn't expect that Lin Pingzhi would end up in Qixia Town.

Looking at the four big words "Bixie Sword Technique" on the system interface in his mind, Li Ming's expression was quite strange.

This martial art is quite famous, and in the system mall, it is one of those that requires certain conditions to be met before purchasing rights can be obtained.

But Li Ming had no interest in research at all.

He had too many peerless martial arts to choose from, and he really looked down on this deformed martial art that required huge sacrifices.

However, since he now has the purchasing rights, and considering the popularity of this martial art in the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer, Li Ming is still happy to use it to earn more attribute points.

The price of 500 attribute points is not cheap, but it is acceptable to Li Ming at the moment.

An idea flashed through his mind and the purchase was successful.

At the same time, Li Ming walked towards Xiaomi and Lin Pingzhi.

Xiaomi, who was arguing with Lin Pingzhi, saw Li Ming coming and hurriedly put on a smile.

"Master Li, I don't know where this colleague came from. He doesn't know the rules. Is he affecting your martial arts hall? I'll ask him to get out right now..."

Li Ming waved his hand.

"It's okay, where are you from?"

Li Ming put on a friendly expression, but the second half of his sentence was asking questions about Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi hid his face behind his messy hair, avoided looking and did not answer.

The Fuwei Escort Agency was destroyed, and the family suffered a disaster...

This series of events has made Lin Pingzhi no longer the naive young man. He has realized that the world is dangerous and one cannot trust just anyone!

What's more, the disciples of Qingcheng Sect were not far away, and Lin Pingzhi was afraid of being discovered by them.

"You must be hungry now, right? Do you want to come into our martial arts gym to rest for a while? I'll give you something to eat?"

Lin Pingzhi remained silent.

Xiaomi next to him was getting impatient: "Hey, Master Li is asking you a question, why don't you have any reaction?"

Li Ming stopped Xiaomi from continuing. He also realized that Lin Pingzhi was like a frightened bird.

After thinking about it, Li Ming turned around and told the martial arts disciple who was on duty at the door today to go back and get some food.

Soon, the food was delivered to Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi held the food with a confused look on his face, then looked up at Li Ming.

This was the first person who took the initiative to help him since he escaped!
And judging from the other person's appearance, he doesn't seem like a bad person with ulterior motives.

In an instant, Li Ming's image became extremely tall in Lin Pingzhi's mind!

His stomach made a rumbling sound. Lin Pingzhi was already very hungry after fleeing all the way. Now he could no longer hold back and lowered his head to eat in big mouthfuls.

Xiaomi was watching from the side, full of admiration.

"Oh, the way they eat is even worse than that of the Beggars' Sect. Boy, you are lucky today. You have run into Master Li. Everyone in this area knows that Master Li is a famous good man..."

Li Ming waved his hand to stop Xiaomi from continuing to flatter.

At this moment, Luo Renjie, a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect in the Tongfu Inn, came out with a chicken leg in his hand. While eating, he looked around the streets of Qixia Town.

He was starving after rushing all the way here and was eager to go into the inn to eat.

But now that I have filled my stomach, I remembered that when I first arrived, I seemed to have seen a martial arts school at the entrance of the town.

What level can the martial arts school in this town have?
Luo Renjie, a martial artist, was curious and wanted to come and take a look.

But he didn't walk far before he saw Lin Pingzhi sitting outside the wall of Qianming Martial Arts School, desperately stuffing food into his mouth.

Luo Renjie's eyes casually swept across Lin Pingzhi's face, but then he discovered something and suddenly pulled his eyes back!

Just then I saw Lin Pingzhi’s face.

Luo Renjie's hand holding the chicken leg paused, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the expression on his face changed from astonishment to ecstasy!
"Lin Pingzhi!"

Luo Renjie recognized the other person at a glance!
He also participated in the operation to destroy the Fuwei Escort Agency with his master Yu Canghai, so naturally he recognized Lin Pingzhi.

And everyone in the Qingcheng Sect was convinced that the Book of the Sword of Exorcism was in Lin Pingzhi's hands. During this period of time, they had been searching for Lin Pingzhi's whereabouts all the way. Even though Lin Pingzhi had disguised his face, he still recognized him at a glance!
"Haha, it's really hard to find anything even if you try hard to find it. It takes no effort at all!"

Luo Renjie was overjoyed. He shouted and strode over.

Lin Pingzhi was suddenly called out by his real name, and he was frightened. He looked up and saw Luo Renjie coming towards him. He was immediately panicked and instinctively wanted to run away.

But perhaps he was too weak and couldn't stand up.

Luo Renjie has leaped over with the sword drawn from its sheath.

But then his eyes blurred, and it seemed as if a breeze was blowing past him, followed by a whirring sound in his ears.

"Pfft!"

The next second, Luo Renjie flew out and fell heavily across the street.

"Ouch!"

Luo Renjie's screams could be heard from far away, and immediately attracted the attention of other Qingcheng Sect disciples in Tongfu Inn who ran out after hearing it.

"what happened?"

"Senior Brother Luo, who hit you?" Seeing this, several Qingcheng disciples hurried over to help Luo Renjie up.

"I, I'm fine. Lin Pingzhi is there. Don't let him run away!" Luo Renjie shouted with gritted teeth.

"Ah! Lin Pingzhi!"

All the Qingcheng Sect disciples immediately had fiery looks in their eyes.

But at a glance, Li Ming was already standing in front of Lin Ping.

"Who are you? How dare you attack our Qingcheng Sect?"

Li Ming frowned when he heard this: "Who are you to dare to act wildly in front of my martial arts hall?"

The commotion here instantly attracted a lot of attention, and Bai Zhantang from Tongfu Inn also ran out.

"Master, what's wrong?"

At the same time, the disciples in Qianming Martial Arts School also rushed out.

Now their sense of belonging to the martial arts school is overwhelming. When they heard about the situation, they immediately stepped forward and stood in front of the owner of the school.

Although there were quite a few people in the martial arts gym, Luo Renjie didn't take it seriously at all and was furious.

Someone actually attacked me just now, and what's infuriating is that I didn't see clearly! How can I tolerate this?

In Luo Renjie's opinion, how strong can a small martial arts school in a place like this be?

They are the Four Beauties of Qingcheng, but each of them is a martial artist at the acquired realm!
Maybe it was because I saw Lin Pingzhi for the first time that I was too excited and distracted, so I was ambushed.

"You dare to attack me and snatch people from our Qingcheng Sect. You are blind. Brothers, let's go!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Qingcheng Sect disciples drew their swords.

"Hey, sir, don't be impulsive, don't rush into it!"

Bai Zhantang hurriedly wanted to jump out to stop the fight, but Luo Renjie and his men had already rushed forward regardless.

Bai Zhantang grinned when he saw this: "Well, I still couldn't stop the guy who was asking for a beating!"

Then he turned his head away, as if he had foreseen what was going to happen next.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

"Click..."

Instantly, dense crisp sounds and screams came one after another, accompanied by the sound of long swords falling to the ground.

Before the disciples of Qianming Martial Arts School could react, they saw the Qingcheng disciples across from them, who were already screaming in agony.

No one present could see clearly what happened, but all the Qingcheng Sect disciples were injured!

Everyone's right arm was broken, and the long sword in their hands fell. And they didn't even see who did it!

Looking at Li Ming again, he was still standing there calmly, as if he had never moved.

But all the disciples in the martial arts school knew that it was the master who took action.

"Amazing!"

Although everyone knew how powerful the owner of the hall was, the scene before them made the disciples even more enthusiastic.

Accompanied by screams, Luo Renjie covered his right arm, endured the severe pain and took a few steps back in horror.

Looking at his fellow disciples around him who had the same injuries as himself, Luo Renjie broke out in a cold sweat!
So strong!

If the other party can cripple one of their arms in an instant, doesn't that mean that taking their lives is just a snap?

Where does this master come from!

Luo Renjie was horrified, his eyes full of fear.

"Okay, okay! Let's go!"

He suppressed the pain and called out.

The other Qingcheng Sect disciples were also frightened and followed Luo Renjie away screaming.

"Hey, sir, the meal hasn't been paid yet!"

Bai Zhantang stopped them at the right time and said with a smile on his face.

Luo Renjie's face turned green, but he didn't dare to stay there any longer. He took out the silver with his only remaining hand, threw it down, and ran away as if he was escaping for his life.

Li Ming didn't take them seriously at all, but instead directed his disciples.

"Pick up those long swords on the ground that they don't want. Don't waste them. They can be worth a lot of money later."

The disciples almost laughed out loud and picked up the long sword dropped by the Qingcheng Sect as instructed.

Li Ming took it, pulled out the scabbard and took a closer look. He had to admit, it was a famous sect after all, and the quality of the disciples' weapons was very good. They were made of fine steel and were very sharp, much better than the long swords in Qianming Martial Arts School.

Li Ming couldn't help but think that not only did he need to expand the martial arts gym, but he also needed to replace all the weapons in the gym.

Looking back, Lin Pingzhi was dumbfounded, hiding in the corner and trembling.

He didn't expect that someone would stand up to help him at the critical moment, and even offend the Qingcheng Sect for him!
The shock that Li Ming's move brought to Lin Pingzhi was beyond words!
How could the Qingcheng Sect, which destroyed the Fuwei Escort Agency, be completely helpless in front of this Master Li?
Then how high is the martial arts skill of this gym owner?

For a moment, he didn't know whether to run or stay.

"If you have anything to say, come in and tell me."

Hearing what Li Ming said when he passed by, Lin Pingzhi was conflicted for a moment, but finally he gritted his teeth and walked into Qianming Martial Arts Hall.

It's approaching noon.

A group of warriors dressed in Qingcheng Sect costumes arrived outside Qixia Town in a menacing manner.

Among them, there was a dwarf with a gloomy face. He was Yu Canghai, the leader of Qingcheng Sect!
