Chapter 57: On the Famous Sword List, I have something to ask for

IOUs are a rare thing to Master Xuan Ji.

Moreover, he was the head of the Shaolin Discipline Institute, and if he went out to write an IOU, wouldn't it be...

But Master Xuan Ji's mind suddenly turned, as if he had thought of something, and he immediately became alert.

With Li Ming's strength, he probably wouldn't be so petty as to care about such a small amount of money.

He said he wanted to go to Shaoshi Mountain in person, could it be that he meant...

Xuan Ji had been in the martial arts world for a long time, and thought that Li Ming's words had a hidden message, implying that he would go to Shaolin to cause trouble in the future.

But now he was worried about Xuan Nan's injuries and was anxious to find a place for Xuan Nan to heal. He didn't bother to argue too much and nodded in agreement after thinking about it for a moment.

There are so many hidden masters in Shaolin that we are not afraid of the other party coming to find us.

Soon, Li Ming asked the disciples of the martial arts school to write a piece of paper and handed it to Xuan Ji.

Master Xuan Ji had lived for most of his life, but this was the first time he had to write an IOU.

He didn't care about much at the moment, just pressed a hand seal, and helped Xuan Nan to perform light skills and leave.

"Master, are you just going to let these two old bald donkeys run away like this?"

Yang Guo came over to ask, but didn't dare to get too close to Li Ming.

The sword intent of the fourteenth sword on his body had not yet dissipated. Now that it was close, Yang Guo felt uncomfortable and panic in his heart, and his skin felt a slight pain.

"What a bald ass, stop talking nonsense."

Being corrected by Li Ming, Yang Guo couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

If it were any other time, he would definitely be cunning.

But now, after seeing Li Ming display his extraordinary power, he was already full of admiration for this master and did not dare to disobey him in the slightest.

Li Ming's eyes narrowed and he looked away.

Several Beggar Gang disciples were helping Gong Chang Zhang, who was spitting blood, to stand up from the pit he had created.

The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are known for their ferocity and domineering nature, and the same is true of the Three Panlong Strikes used by Li Ming.

At this moment, Gong Chang Zhang was defeated in the face of Li Ming's palm strike. As the leader of the four elders of the Beggar Gang, his meridians were messed up by Li Ming's palm power, and his internal injuries were serious. He could not even stand up.

Gong Chang Zhang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a very complicated expression.

His original intention was to visit Li Ming to negotiate and see if he could obtain the martial arts related to his gang from Li Ming, and he did not necessarily have the intention of turning against him.

But somehow, it has developed to this point.

Several Beggar Gang disciples who were supporting him weakened their legs when they saw Li Ming looking at them.

Without Li Ming saying anything, they immediately took the initiative to say, "We will pay, Master Li, we will pay!"

As they spoke, several Beggar Gang disciples began to search their pockets.

Not to mention, although their clothes looked tattered and their hair was not well trimmed, they actually managed to collect quite a bit of silver, and even had a few silver bills worth over a hundred taels.

This scene left the onlookers stunned.

"The beggars of the Beggars' Sect are so rich!"

A beggar gathered the money he had collected and handed it over carefully.

"not enough!"

Li Ming's words frightened them to death.

But when a few people touched their bodies, they were all gone.

But they were all smart and said quickly, "Let's sign the IOU!"

Soon, several people also pressed their fingerprints and wanted to help Gong Chang Zhang leave, but Li Ming pointed to the mess nearby.

They immediately understood and began to help clean up the mess and clear the battlefield.

As a result, the disciples in the martial arts school had more free time and didn't have to work hard this time.

Many onlookers, seeing that the matter was settled, gradually left with sighs.

Most of them did not know much about what was going on in the martial arts world. They only knew that Li Ming had defeated the Shaolin monks and the elders of the Beggar Gang this time, and that he must be very powerful. They used this as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Of course, what they talked about more was the scandal that broke out between the two gangs today.

However, many martial artists mixed in the crowd had solemn expressions on their faces.

Two of the four elders of the Beggars' Sect, one died and the other was seriously injured; the head of the Shaolin Dharma Academy and the head of the Discipline Academy, one was injured and the other admitted defeat.

They know what this means better than ordinary people.

If we say that Li Ming defeated five innate masters before, he could be considered a rising star in the world.

Now, the meaning of a grandmaster being defeated by him is completely different.

Many famous gangs and sects find it difficult to have a master to lead them.

His achievements have already changed the situation in the martial arts world to a certain extent.

Considering the speed of his rise...

Many people couldn't help but shake their heads, unable to imagine it.

As you can imagine, today's events will become the most explosive news in the world in recent times.

On the other side, outside Tongfu Inn.

Guo Furong climbed onto the roof and watched the excitement from afar, her face full of excitement and her eyes shining.

Li Ming's strength was far beyond her understanding, especially his aura, which rekindled Guo Furong's deep-seated dream of being a middle school student in the martial arts world.

Bai Zhantang was quite silent, his eyes flickering as he recalled the scene of Li Ming and Xuan Nan's battle just now.

Bai Zhantang seemed to have gained some inspiration from it, and was deep in thought. He didn't even hear Guo Furong calling him a few words.

After working for a long time in the martial arts hall, it was almost done.

The Beggars' Sect disciples carried Gong Chang Zhang and finally fled away.

The only one who stayed was Wan Dajin.

"Master Li, save me!" Wan Dajin pleaded to Li Ming with a sad face.

Now the whole world knows that he sacrificed his own family for the sake of justice and exposed the scandal of the gang’s elders.

If he returns to the Beggars' Sect, he will probably die a miserable death.

Although he was reluctant to give up the position of helmsman that he had finally obtained after working hard for so many years, Wan Dajin was more afraid of death.

Originally he considered himself a man, but ever since he was poisoned by the tendon-breaking and bone-rotting pills and lived under the shadow of death every day, he discovered how wonderful life could be.

"Master Li, please don't chase me away because I have done so much for you. Elder Xi ordered me to set up the snake formation, and I took the risk to move them all away. And..."

Wan Dajin counted his merits one by one and was almost about to hold Li Ming's legs and beg.

"Master Wan, you are a member of the Beggars' Sect. How can you not go back? If you stay in our martial arts school, wouldn't it prove that you are a traitor and colluding with our martial arts school?"

"but……"

Wan Dajin was about to cry, but Li Ming comforted him.

"Don't worry, you are still useful to me. I have other plans. Go back without worry. I promise that nothing will happen to you."

"Huh? Really?"

"What do you think? Would this owner of the museum lie to you?"

Wan Dajin hesitated for a while, but seeing that Li Ming was really uncompromising and that any further delay might anger the other party, he shut up reluctantly.

That night, a few more earthen mounds appeared on a hillside not far from Qixia Town. The names of Elder Xi and Shan Zheng and his son were scribbled on the simple wooden boards.

The next day.

Qixia Town is more lively than ever.

Li Ming stepped into Tongfu Inn at dinner time.

The Tongfu Inn, which was bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became extremely quiet.

In an instant, all eyes in the room were focused on him.

After a quick observation, Li Ming found that there were many new faces in the inn today, and they were all dressed as warriors.

After a brief pause, the noise resumed.

"Master Li is here, please take a seat."

Tong Xiangyu hurriedly asked Li Ming to sit down.

"Wow, Master Li, you are so amazing, a Shaolin monk! You..."

Guo Furong didn't even bother to sweep the floor. She rushed over and started praising Li Ming.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Lu Xiucai next to him.

"Master Li, look, there's news for you!"

Lu Xiucai was holding a piece of paper and reading it with great interest.

"what news?"

Bai Zhantang and Guo Furong both came up behind him.

"Jianghu Monthly?"

"Yes, this is the most popular newspaper in the martial arts world. Look, Master Li, there is a large section dedicated to you!"

Guo Furong read it word by word.

"He killed five Xiantians with his strength and became a newcomer on the famous sword list. Is he a rising star in the martial arts world or a disaster to the martial arts world? The Jianghu Monthly will help you find the truth."

"What's this mess?"

Guo Furong frowned in dissatisfaction.

"It's Jianghu Monthly, and there are rumors flying around everywhere. Don't you know that? How can we increase sales if we don't write something exaggerated?" Bai Zhantang advised.

"This is all old news. When they find out what Master Li did yesterday, they will be so scared!"

As Guo Furong was speaking, she suddenly pointed to a small piece of content in the Jianghu Monthly.

"Master Li, you are on the new round of the famous sword list!"

As he was speaking, Captain Xing walked in with a joyful look on his face.

"Everyone is here, eat and drink well!"

Captain Xing greeted the diners in the inn and then sat down at the table.

"Captain Xing, why haven't I seen you in the past few days?"

"Oh, I'm so busy at the government office that I haven't had time to patrol the streets these days. Shopkeeper Tong, I'm here to apologize to you. What Xiaoliu did was wrong in the last anti-theft eight methods. Don't worry, Magistrate Lou has stopped this matter."

"Oh my god, it finally stopped."

Everyone in the inn was relieved when they heard this.

Bai Zhantang also asked: "Should the tunnel in the backyard be filled up?"

"Fill it up, fill it up. Didn't Tian Boguang say that if the tunnel is not dug properly, the thieves might enter the yard directly. Alas, I am wrong about this."

Captain Xing then changed the subject and looked at Li Ming very politely.

"Master Li, was there another fight in your martial arts school yesterday? Magistrate Lou specifically asked me to look into this."

"Hey, Old Xing, it's someone else who came to cause trouble. You won't blame Master Li, right?" Guo Furong was unhappy at first.

"No no!"

Captain Xing waved his hands repeatedly: "It's hard to control the affairs of the underworld, as Magistrate Lou also said, but thanks to Master Li's recent achievements, the public security in our town has been getting better and better recently. I can't thank you enough."

"By the way, Master Li, Magistrate Lou asked you to go to his place when you are free. He has something to ask of you."

"County Magistrate Lou, do you have something to ask of me?"

Li Ming was quite surprised.

"Yes, I didn't dare to ask. It seems to be related to some stone. You will know when you go there."
