Chapter 67: Riding the Wind
Night, Lu family.

The sound of horse hooves stopped abruptly. Guard Qiao jumped down, walked over the threshold with his two brothers, and hurried into the hall.

Ever since he heard the news about Longhu Mountain on his way back, he didn't dare to stop and rushed back directly.

"Where is the head of the house?"

There was no one in the hall, so Guard Qiao asked the gardener who was watering the flowers in the courtyard.

"He is in Mr. Lu's study."

"Okay, thanks."

After passing through three corridors, Guard Qiao stopped in front of an ancient study room, knocked on the door, and said in a respectful and cheerful voice: "Mr. Lu, Qiao Yue wants to see you!"

"Come in--"

The old man's voice was full of energy. Guard Qiao, who had obtained permission, pushed through the door and greeted the two of them with a fist.

Lu Xuan had just finished pouring tea for the old man, put down the teapot, and asked, "Old Qiao, thank you for your hard work. Have you contacted Jin'er?"

"Well, I gave the letter to the young master and the Taoist priest Sanyi the night before. The young master did not allow me to follow him, but only asked me to come back quickly to report to you two."

Qiao Yue calmed down his excitement and revealed all the information he had gathered: "On the way back today, I received a notification from several informants that the fight at Longhu Mountain has ended."

"The leader of Quanxing Sect, Wu Gensheng, and the evil boy Li Muxuan were both killed on the mountain. This is the result."

"As for the process, that is unknown. According to informants, the Heavenly Master and the heads of various sects ordered to keep silent. The disciples who witnessed the scene dare not disclose it, so they can only give a rough outline."

Hearing this, knowing that the two people who killed Chief Zuo had ended their relationship, Mr. Lu showed a hint of satisfaction on his face and said with a faint smile:
"It's good that it's resolved. Is Jin'er okay?"

"Mr. Lu, the young master is safe. After killing the evil boy with his own hands, he left with his uncle." Qiao Yue said calmly.

Lu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been restless and his palms were sweating these past few days, but only now did he feel relieved.

He took the opportunity to look at his uncle and suggested, "Look, isn't your birthday coming soon? I'll ask someone to find the Trinity School and invite Jin'er and his uncle home as guests. How do you think?"

"You decide on the arrangements. I have no objection."

Mr. Lu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked a little nostalgic: "It's been a long time since I saw the little guy. I miss him so much."

"Okay, then I'll go back and urge Jin'er to come back."

Lu Xuan smiled gently. As a father, he was always worried about his child's safety.

What's more, now is a turbulent time and nowhere is safe. If he didn't respect the child's wishes, he would like to hide Lu Jin at home and keep him safe.

ancient city.

Jiang Mo and Lu Jin came to the street where Jianghu Inn was located. They saw few people along the way. Due to the war, as it got dark, the vendors who had set up stalls closed their shops early and returned home.

"Uncle Master, do you mean those two people are not dead?!"

When Jiang Mo mentioned something unusual to him, an expression of disbelief emerged on Lu Jin's handsome face.

He had clearly smashed Li Muxuan's head and heart into pieces with his own hands, but he didn't expect that this person was still alive. The mysterious method he used was beyond his comprehension.

"Well, after I killed them, I found a secluded place to meditate. My Qi was rootless, so it quickly dissipated and I couldn't track it."

"When I first sensed that he had a backup plan, it was blocked by an unknown secret technique. The same goes for Li Muxuan."

"Even if a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so what?" Lu Jin did not lose his composure, but said calmly: "Since we can kill him once, we can kill him a second time."

Jiang Mofeng smiled calmly and told his inner guess: "The life-saving method they use will probably take away half of the lifespan. There will definitely be sequelae, and it won't be so easy to recover from it."

"What's more, Wu Gensheng was hit by my soul-breaking spell."

"Based on the speed at which his body was dissolving, he must have been trapped in the illusion for at least a week. His consciousness couldn't hold out that long. He's probably dead now, and it will take at least a year or two for him to recover."

Lu Jin nodded slightly and said reflexively: "Then the next time we meet, it will be their death!"

"It's probably that Granny Liu from Southern Xinjiang who is protecting these two. She is different from the other Quan Xings. Her methods are indeed complicated and powerful, even stronger than those monsters in Dawang Mountain before."

From the first time he attacked the cave, Jiang Mo realized that this monster was no good. Compared to him, the ones from Dawang Mountain were slightly inferior.

During the conversation, Jiang Mo and Lu Jin came to the inn. As soon as they entered, a waiter greeted them: "You two, please take a seat upstairs."

"Oh? Brother, do you recognize us?"

Jiang Mo had a smile on his face. Before he could explain his purpose, the other party seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Hey, the shopkeeper told me. Looking at your attire, I know you are the Taoist priest of Sanyi Sect, Young Master Lu."

The waiter scratched his head in a simple manner and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is upstairs. He told me before that if he sees you two, he should invite you upstairs directly."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, little brother."

Led by the waiter, the two walked up the stairs, crossed the corridor where red lanterns were hung, and stopped in front of a room in the corner.

"Please--" The waiter pushed the wooden door gently.

Liu Wei, who was checking the account book, heard the noise, looked up and smiled knowingly: "Master Lu, Taoist Jiang, how are you? Please take a seat."

"Xiaoling, go prepare tea for the distinguished guest."

"Boss Liu, that's not necessary. We'll just chat for a few minutes and then leave." Jiang Mo declined.

Liu Wei smiled in relief: "Okay Xiaoling, go and do your work first, and close the door."

"Okay." The waiter left tactfully and closed the door gently and swiftly.

"Congratulations to both of you for completely eradicating the evildoers." Liu Wei put down the account book and bowed.

Jiang Mo carefully looked at the slightly decadent but casual middle-aged man in front of him, and said jokingly: "It's only been an afternoon, and Boss Liu is really well-informed."

"I am so ashamed. After all, I am just trying to make a living by doing this. Thank you for your compliment."

Liu Wei answered modestly that ever since he learned that Wu Gensheng had invited the two of them, he had been contacting an old friend who was going to help at Mount Longhu to get the word out, and he knew the result two hours later.

"Okay, I won't exchange pleasantries with you. I'll tell you some good news first."

Jiang Mo said bluntly: "The remaining two of the Six Evils are dead."

"I killed the demon myself. As for Chi Yan, he was killed by others before I got there."

The cold words were like the morning bell and evening drum, and Liu Wei's eyes lit up. Upon learning that his enemy had died, he said well:

"Thank you for your hard work, Liu Wei is grateful for your kindness."

After saying that, he quickly stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to express his gratitude.

"You're welcome. Boss Liu, you and my father are good friends. Please excuse me."

Lu Jin quickly stepped forward to support Liu Wei, indicating that it was not necessary.

"I wonder if you two need any help during your visit? I, Liu Wei, will do my best within my capabilities."

Seeing his sincerity, Jiang Mo got straight to the point: "Just two things."

"I need to know the location of Quan Xing's base. You should have quite a few here, right?"

"Also, I heard that Tiebanxian, Tianjilu, and Wanxiangtang are good at fortune-telling. I want to find someone's whereabouts. I wonder if you are familiar with these people, Boss Liu?"

When Liu Wei heard Jiang Mo's request, he initially thought it was a difficult task, but he didn't expect it to be so easy, so he said:

"Quan Xing's bases are spread all over the country, and some of them change frequently. I can only confirm the locations of nine of them." "Nine? That's enough."

Jiang Mo knew that these monsters had no fixed place to live, but it was worth the trip to find so many of their lairs. He was determined to kill all of them from top to bottom.

"I can provide you with all this information;"

Then, Liu Wei added:

"As for the Tiebanxian and Tianjilu you mentioned, I have seldom been in contact with them, but the head of the Wanxiangtang is an old friend of mine. Their lineage is well versed in feng shui, divination and fortune-telling, so it won't be difficult to find someone for you."

"Oh? How's the effect?"

Jiang Mo immediately became interested. He did not practice numerology, and knew nothing about divination and hexagrams, but he had to admit that searching for and predicting the whereabouts of Wu Gensheng and Liu Pozi was these people's forte.

"Excuse me for being blunt, but my old friend's methods are much more sophisticated than those of Tiebanxian and Tianjilu. Of course...he pays a price."

At this point, Liu Wei paused for a moment and spread his hands helplessly:
"It's at least three times more expensive than the first two. That ancestral skill has never failed."

"Besides, they also have a blood feud with Quan Xing. If they knew that you killed Quan Xing's acting leader Wu Gensheng and were going to razed Quan Xing's stronghold, perhaps they would be more willing to negotiate the price."

"Really? Then I'd like to trouble Boss Liu to introduce me to someone." Jiang Mo felt very pleased.

"Okay, okay. I have another suggestion. I wonder if Master Jiang is willing to listen to it?"

Liu Wei crossed his fingers and placed them under his chin, with a smiling face.

"speak."

"There is a demon's lair in the city. It's better to do it now than today. Are you interested in going over to take a look?"

Liu Wei opened the drawer, took out a pen and ink, and began to write the specific location, not forgetting to say:
"Communications nowadays are not as convenient as they used to be. The foreigners' so-called telephones are very convenient. Although they are not as good as the Wang family's divine paint and secret painting, they are also convenient to use."

"Master Jiang, while you are clearing out the demon cave, I can contact my old friend. If all goes well, you can meet and discuss tomorrow."

"Just to my liking."

Jiang Mo smiled at him, took the note respectfully handed to him by Liu Wei with both hands, lowered his eyes to glance at the handwriting, and instantly memorized the location in his mind.

"Boss Liu, I'll leave my job to you."

"You're welcome, Master Jiang."

Liu Wei felt very happy. He reached out to the table with his big hand and threw the wine gourd over.

"Try it? It tastes good, a fine wine."

"Snapped!"

Jiang Mo raised his hand to take it, put it on the square table beside him, slowly stood up, smiled and declined: "Thank you, but I am not interested in this Du Kang."

"If Mr. Liu is interested, why not warm up a pot of hot tea? Jin'er and I will be back soon. We may have to stay with you tonight."

"Okay! Just because of what you said, I will not close the shop today. I look forward to your return after your success."

Liu Wei stood up to see him off.

Jiang Mo and Lu Jin said goodbye to him, left the room, went down the stairs, and disappeared into the quiet night.

“Click..click..click.”

Liu Wei's slender fingers turned the dial of the phone, and the gears made a mechanical sound.

In an instant, after communicating with the operator, communication was successfully established.

"Old Ji, are you feeling well these days?"

"It's me, Liu Wei. I have a deal. Do you think you Wanxiangtang will do it?"

The man on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, and replied in a low and magnetic voice:
"Really? It's hard for you, Boss Liu, to worry about me. What kind of employer is this?"

"Well, I'm going to tell you directly, that's too boring, why don't you do some divination to see if your abilities have declined."

After the words fell, the man fell silent, and the sound of coins shaking and colliding could be heard through the phone.

After a long pause, the head of the Wanxiang Hall asked tentatively, "Is it the Trinity Sect?"

"Wow, awesome! They are the ones."

While drinking, Liu Wei introduced: "The recent incident between Sanyi Sect and Quan Xing has caused a lot of uproar. The whole martial arts world knows about it. Just this morning, Wu Gensheng and Li Muxuan were killed."

"The Taoist priest who took action wanted to find the whereabouts of certain people. I wonder if this is your special skill?"

"Besides, your Wanxiang Hall and Quanxing are at war to the death. In this case, I'd like to act as a middleman and help you connect them. I think you don't mind, right?"

A sigh sounded from a distance, and the Wanxiang Hall Master was somewhat embarrassed:

"Have you explained the price to him? As an old friend, I think you should know the cost of each divination."

However, Liu Wei did not respond to his question, but just said to himself:
"That Taoist priest is full of murderous intent and is looking for trouble with Quan Xing. He has killed more than a hundred monsters in the past few days."

"Before contacting you, I gave him the location of Quan Xing's stronghold in the city. Now I'm there."

The Wanxiang Hall Master's heartstrings were touched. He vaguely heard the hidden meaning, but he was not sure, so he asked again: "How strong is Master Sanyi?"

"Based on my feeling and impression, he is similar to the left-hand man I met before. It may not be accurate, I am just guessing."

Liu Wei's answer caused the other party to fall silent, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

After a long while, the Master of Wanxiang Hall spoke again: "Do you want to help me? Have you told him about Master's matter?"

"No, I'm asking for your opinion."

Liu Wei explained his plan in detail: "Master Jiang is looking for someone and needs your help."

"You guys want to seek revenge on those two old ghosts in Quan Xing again. Isn't this mutually beneficial?"

The head of Wanxiang Hall was full of concerns and did not dare to take on the deal.

"Alas, so many years have passed. If revenge could be taken, I would have done it long ago. That evil guy is beyond the control of ordinary people."

After all, in his opinion, the risk to Trinity was too great.

It would be fine if it was simply a payment of silver dollars and gold bars, but from what Liu Wei meant, it seemed that both parties owed each other a favor, and he felt guilty about it.

Liu Wei had expected this. How could he not understand their old friend of many years?
At this point, he suddenly smiled and played his trump card: "Old Ji, why do you think that without this deal, the devil would not cause trouble for the Trinity Sect?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

The head of Wanxiang Hall was puzzled and frowned slightly. He heard a hint of gloating in his old friend's tone.

"The devil was the only one left, and he was killed by Taoist Jiang a few days ago. Not even his body was left. Do you think he is anxious?"

Liu Wei raised his head and drank, saying happily: "No matter if it's this blood feud or he was the former acting leader of Quan Xing, he and Sanyi will have a fight sooner or later."

"Take advantage of the situation and take over this deal. Taoist Jiang will help you kill people, and you will help him find people. Isn't this a win-win strategy?"

All the problems were solved. Upon hearing that his enemy's only son was killed, the Wanxiang Hall Master was delighted and answered decisively without even a moment's hesitation:

"Well, I am ill and cannot go out. You will take charge of this business for me."

"No matter where the person he's looking for is hiding, I'll do my best to search for him."
