Chapter 148: Martial Arts Mastery
The bastard was taken away by the Changle Gang led by Bei Haishi.

Not only that, Ah Huang also went down the mountain with the mongrel.

"Chu boy, why did you let that bastard leave with them?"

Seeing Gou Zazhong, Bei Haishi and others leaving together, Xie Yanke asked Chu Yuan with some confusion.

He originally thought that Chu Yuan would stop the Changle Gang from taking the bastard away.

Chu Yuan said: "Mr. Xie, the bastard has grown up. We can't let him stay in Motian Cliff forever, right?"

He is eighteen years old and the bastard is already seventeen.

Xie Yanke frowned and said, "I don't know about the others, but I think Bei Haishi is a man of deep thoughts. He insisted on saying that the bastard was their leader. I'm afraid he has bad intentions!"

Chu Yuan asked, "Does Mr. Xie know about the order to reward good deeds and punish evil deeds?"

Xie Yanke asked: "Is it the order issued by the two envoys for rewarding good and punishing evil?"

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "It is rumored that every ten years, the two messengers of rewarding good and punishing evil will appear and issue a reward order. If you accept it, it's fine. If you don't, your entire family will be slaughtered, leaving no chickens or dogs alive. Since the order of rewarding good and punishing evil appeared in the world, no sect has been able to escape. The bastard is the scapegoat that Bei Haishi found for himself to survive the disaster of the reward order!"

Xie Yanke asked, "But why did they find it on the bastard?"

It stands to reason that when looking for a scapegoat, you have to find one who can convince the public.

Otherwise, if you find a completely unrelated person to impersonate the leader of the Changle Gang, he will not be able to pass the test of the gang members first.

Just now he looked at the other gang members, who spoke with sincerity and emotion, unlike Bei Haishi who was deep-minded and seemed to really regard the bastard as his own gang leader.

Chu Yuan said: "This is about another matter. The gang leader who was originally used as a scapegoat by Bei Haishi realized Bei Haishi's intention and fled for his life. However, Gou Ge looks exactly like the escaped man, so they came to Motianya and said that Gou Ge is their gang leader and insisted on taking Gou Ge away."

Xie Yanke suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Xie Yanke thought about it, looked at Chu Yuan with bright eyes and said, "Chu boy, if what you said is true, how did you know it?"

Chu Yuan smiled and said, "I am now the second leader of the Yunlong Gang. The Yunlong Gang and the Changle Gang are rivals. The Yunlong Gang knows the situation of the Changle Gang better than anyone else."

This is the benefit of having power and strength behind him. In the past, no one believed what he said, but now he can say it openly.

Xie Yanke said, "I see."

He still felt that Chu Yuan was too well-informed, almost too well-informed to be absurd.

Even if what Chu Yuan said was true, how did Chu Yuan know that the former leader of Changle Gang looked like the same bastard?

Could it be that he has met the leader of the Changle Gang?
In addition, even the gang members who followed Bei Haishi were unaware of his plan, so how did Chu Yuan know about it?

No matter what, if you think about it carefully, Chu Yuan’s explanation is the most reasonable one!

Xie Yanke said, "If it's really as you said, there's really no danger for that bastard to become the leader of the Changle Gang for the time being. At most, we can just take him away before the Good and Evil Punishment Order is released."

Perhaps the appearance of Chu Yuan made the bond between Xie Yanke and Gou Zazhong more than just the Black Iron Order, so Xie Yanke developed more feelings for Gou Zazhong.

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "That's right."

In fact, he was the only one who knew that this order to reward good and punish evil was indeed a death warrant for the evil sects in the Central Plains martial arts world.

But for a kind-hearted person like Gou Zongzhong, it is not a bad thing but an opportunity.

Xie Yanke looked at Chu Yuan and said, "The bastard has already gone down the mountain, what about you?"

Chu Yuan nodded and said:
"It is said in the martial arts world that the reward order for good and punishment for evil will appear once every ten years. Now that the ten-year period has come, the reward order for good and punishment for evil will soon appear."

"Also, not long ago, I received news from Ding Dian and Di Yun that the Yunlong Gang has been threatening Changle Gang's position as the world's largest gang because of its rapid growth in strength and influence. It is even on par with Changle Gang."

"The friction between the two sides has increased, the gangs are constantly at odds with each other, and the two sides may go to war at any time."

The Yunlong Gang and the Changle Gang had never gotten along. The Changle Gang had seen the Yunlong Gang rise rapidly in the martial arts world in just three years and grow to the point where it was about to threaten their own position, so they had tried to trip up the Yunlong Gang over the years in an attempt to slow down its development.

However, these actions did not work, and instead angered the members of the Yunlong Gang, causing the Yunlong Gang and the Changle Gang to be at loggerheads with each other.

It was precisely because of this that Bei Haishi thought of retreating as soon as he knew Chu Yuan’s identity.

He knew that if Chu Yuan didn't agree, there would be no chance of taking the bastard away.

Chu Yuan continued, "My martial arts skills have already reached a high level. In this troubled time, as the second leader of the Yunlong Gang, I naturally have to go down the mountain and take charge of the Yunlong Gang."

During the three years on Motian Cliff, Chu Yuan practiced hard.

Not only has he mastered the "Nine Heavens Divine Art", he has even opened up the ninth meridian, the Shaoyin Gallbladder Meridian, which he had not been able to open in his previous life.

After nine of the twelve main meridians were opened, Chu Yuan's strength may not necessarily be stronger than other masters.

However, when he practiced, the speed at which his internal strength grew was much faster than that of ordinary people, and was several times faster than when he first started practicing internal strength in his previous life.

The Dantian Qi sea in his body, which originally had a higher limit than in his previous life, actually showed signs of being filled up again.

At this time, Chu Yuan not only had far greater strength than in his previous life, he even possessed some special abilities.

For example, they can eat two or three times more food than the average person, store the essence of the food throughout the body after digestion, and then go without food for more than ten days, which is very much like the legendary weakened version of Bigu.

In addition, he had also practiced the "Shenzhaojing" to near perfection, and was only one step away from opening up the "Ren and Du meridians".

But even so, Chu Yuan does not dare to say that he is invincible in this world.

In this world, the power displayed by martial arts is obviously stronger than in the previous life.

This world not only has the "Shenzhaojing" which can bring the dead back to life, but also the "Taixuanjing" which only Brother Gou can master and which makes him invincible once he practices it.

Xie Yanke was silent for a moment and asked, "When will we go down the mountain?"

Chu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's do it today."

Xie Yanke said, "Don't forget that you still have one last thing for me to do."

Chu Yuan said: "The last thing is, I hope Mr. Xie can help me with three more things?"

Xie Yanke didn't react for a moment, and didn't understand Chu Yuan's meaning. He was a little stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Chu Yuan repeated: "The last thing I want Mr. Xie to do is to ask Mr. Xie to help me do three more things!"

In his previous life, Chu Yuan had seen a method on the Internet to exploit the loophole in making wishes to the genie. That is, whenever there was only one wish left, he would ask the genie for three more wishes. This way, he would have countless wishes.

Xie Yanke came back to his senses and finally understood what Chu Yuan meant. Anger appeared in his eyes. Did Chu Yuan treat him as a fool?

Three after three, if this cycle continues, he will become Chu Yuan's subordinate, a slave who will never be able to fulfill his promises!
Seeing Xie Yanke getting angry, Chu Yuan smiled and said, "I was just joking with you, old man. Don't mind it. I gave this Xuantie Order to that bastard in the end. Mr. Xie has already done the first two things. As for the last thing, it depends on what that bastard wants!"

With his current martial arts skills, what he can't do, Xie Yanke can't do either.

There was no need for him to ask Xie Yanke for help for things he could do.

Hearing Chu Yuan say this, the anger on Xie Yanke's face disappeared, and he felt both disappointed and had a headache.

He felt disappointed because he understood that Chu Yuan said this because he felt that there would be no one else he could turn to for help in the future!
The headache was because the mongrel had a stubborn personality and was simply not one to ask for favors from others.

Chu Yuan said: "Thank you, Mr. Take care."

After saying that, Chu Yuan went back to the cave, put his silver bills in his pocket, and went down the mountain holding a bamboo stick.

Watching Chu Yuan leave, Xie Yanke looked at the empty Motian Cliff.

The two familiar figures of the young men were no longer visible, and the occasional barking of dogs could no longer be heard. He felt somewhat lost and muttered to himself, "They are all gone. I am the only one left on this Motian Cliff!"

……

After Chu Yuan descended the Motian Cliff, he headed straight for Jingmen, Jingzhou Prefecture.

During these three years, he had been to the location of the Yunlong Gang in Jingmen, Jingzhou Prefecture twice, so he was familiar with the place.

He traveled south for a few days and soon entered the territory of Huguang.

After crossing the Han River, an ancient city appeared before our eyes.

There are words right above the city gate: "Jingmen"!
Although the ancient city of Jingmen is not as majestic as the city wall of Jingzhou and is only 16 feet high, it is simple and natural, with the walls covered with traces of time caused by wind, frost and erosion.

Moreover, in the scoop-shaped city gate, one can often see men wearing green short shirts and holding long swords entering and exiting the city gate.

There were soldiers guarding the city gate. These Ming soldiers in cloth armor looked calm when they saw the men in green short shirts and holding long swords. No one dared to stop them.

Chu Yuan did not enter the ancient city of Jingmen. He bypassed the ancient city of Jingmen and headed towards the south of the city. After walking more than ten miles south, a huge town appeared in front of Chu Yuan.

The town in front of us is huge, covering an area of ​​15 acres. The buildings are staggered and the layout is rigorous. It is surrounded by brick walls that stretch for several miles. The building in the center is particularly majestic, about three stories high, and can be seen from afar even if you stand outside.

There are more and more men here wearing green short shirts and holding weapons.

There is an archway at the entrance of the town, with words written on it: "Yunlong Gang"!
There were twelve men holding swords guarding the archway, but when they saw Chu Yuan holding a bamboo stick, their expressions became respectful. Although Chu Yuan rarely showed up, everyone in the Yunlong Gang knew that the second gang leader, Yunlong Sword God, was rarely seen in the gang and liked to hold a bamboo stick.

It is said that the second gang leader's swordsmanship has reached the level of perfection. In his hands, the bamboo stick is as good as a sword. He can easily take someone's life and kill them with one blow.

"Meet the Second Gang Leader!"

The men guarding the gate bowed to Chu Yuan in unison.

"No need to be polite."

Chu Yuan nodded and walked in calmly. This was the headquarters of the Yunlong Gang.

The headquarters of the Yunlong Gang is not located in the ancient city of Jingmen.

Firstly, when the Yunlong Gang's headquarters was first established, it was taken into consideration that once the Yunlong Gang grew larger, the land in the ancient city of Jingzhou would be scarce and unable to accommodate too many gang members, making it unsuitable as the Yunlong Gang's headquarters.

Secondly, setting up the Yunlong Gang’s headquarters in the ancient city of Jingmen would make the government feel threatened.

The Yunlong Gang headquarters was not so big at the beginning. It has developed to its current size in the past three years.

In the ancient city of Jingmen, there is only one branch set up by the Yunlong Gang.

"Is the person who just came in the second gang leader?"

"I didn't expect the second gang leader to be so young, he's still a teenager!"

"Although our second leader is young, he is very skilled in martial arts and is one of the best masters in the world. He once killed the corrupt official Ling Tui Si, the prefect of Jingzhou, among thousands of soldiers with just his staff. He also repelled the siege of many martial arts sects. He is a rare master in the world!"

When Chu Yuan walked in, he heard the words from the gatekeepers behind him. He smiled, ignored them, and continued walking inside.

In fact, even though the Yunlong Gang held the treasure of "Liancheng Jue" and spent huge amounts of money, its development was not smooth in the three years after its establishment, and it experienced two major crises.

Once, when Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua were getting married, the Jingzhou prefect Ling Tui Si still refused to give up and led 3,000 soldiers to encircle and suppress the Yunlong Gang's headquarters, hoping to destroy the Yunlong Gang and seize the "Liancheng Jue" treasure.

The key point is that the Yunlong Gang had just been established at that time, and its strength was far less than it is now, with only a few thousand gang members.

There were only about a thousand people attending Ding Dian's wedding at the headquarters.

Just when the Yunlong Gang was about to fall into danger, Chu Yuan took action in time to turn the tide.

However, Chu Yuan did not kill the officers and soldiers. Instead, among thousands of soldiers, under the protection of the masters accompanying Ling Tui Si, he easily rushed to Ling Tui Si, and in front of thousands of people, he chopped off Ling Tui Si's head with the bamboo stick in his hand.

Chu Yuan had already bypassed Ling Tui Si once before, and this time he did not hold back.

In this way, the prefect of Jingzhou, a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, died at the hands of Chu Yuan.

The three thousand imperial officers and soldiers were so frightened that they withdrew immediately.

It is precisely because of this that Chu Yuan was put on the wanted list by the Ming Dynasty court and is still being sought by the court. However, with the level of portraiture in this era, there is basically no difference between having or not having the wanted list.

Chu Yuan also became famous in the Central Plains martial arts world because of this.

The other time was a year ago.

Wan Zhenshan and his son in Jingzhou City learned from somewhere that the Yunlong Gang had obtained the treasure of "Liancheng Jue".

Nearly ten martial arts sects, large and small, and nearly thirty martial arts masters who were interested in the treasure of "Liancheng Jue" launched a surprise attack on the Yunlong Gang together.

The Yunlong Gang was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

Ding Dian was also entangled by five masters. Although Di Yun practiced the "Shen Zhao Jing", his martial arts were not yet perfected. The situation was developing in a direction that was unfavorable to the Yunlong Gang.

After Chu Yuan learned about the situation through the person sent by Ding Dian to Motian Cliff to deliver a letter, he rushed back to the Yunlong Gang overnight and killed nearly twenty martial arts masters with just his bamboo stick.

It was precisely because of Chu Yuan's two actions that the Yunlong Gang was able to gain a foothold in the martial arts world, and Chu Yuan also became famous in the world and earned the title of "Yunlong Sword God".

"Brother Chu!"

"Brother Chu!"

Chu Yuan entered the headquarters of the Yunlong Gang and came to the Juyi Hall where they usually held meetings. Not long after, Ding Dian and Di Yun, who had received the news, rushed over.

After not seeing him for a while, Ding Dian was found wearing an elegant purple gown inside and a dark black cloak outside, with a jade belt around his waist. He already had the temperament of a gang leader.

Di Yun was the same, wearing a light blue silk gown and a hair crown on his head, with a noble temperament.

Both of them were completely different from the destitute image they had seen when they last met Chu Yuan in the Jingzhou prison three years ago.

"Brother Chu, there is bad news!"

As soon as they met, Ding Dian said to Chu Yuan.

"What bad news?"

Chu Yuan asked.

"Rumor has it that the order to reward good and punish evil has appeared in the world."

Ding Dian said to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan said: "It seems that the two envoys who reward the good and punish the evil are on patrol."

Ding Dian said, "Now our Yunlong Gang is one of the two most powerful gangs in the martial arts world, along with the Changle Gang. The reward order will definitely be sent to our Yunlong Gang. It is said that the two rewarders are extremely skilled in martial arts and are invincible. If you refuse to accept the order, you will die. I'm afraid our Yunlong Gang will not be spared."

Although he was confident that his "Shen Zhao Jing" was a rare magical skill in the world.

But there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.

There must be a reason why many sects in the martial arts world are so afraid of these two envoys who reward the good and punish the evil.

Chu Yuan was not worried at all. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. Actually, this reward order is not a crisis, but an opportunity. If you meet the two envoys of rewarding good and punishing evil, just accept this reward order."

In Chu Yuan's opinion, although the two envoys who reward the good and punish the evil claimed to reward the good and punish the evil, when they met Dog Brother in the original plot, they thought that Dog Brother wanted to harm them, so they wanted to take Dog Brother's life with poisoned wine without any investigation.

But Zhigou Ge himself is the strongest plug-in. Not only is he fine, but he also used the poisoned wine to balance the two conflicting internal forces in his body.

It can be seen that these two envoys who reward the good and punish the evil are not good people in the true sense.

He is just a martial arts master who claims to "reward the good and punish the evil" and has profound martial arts skills.

But this has nothing to do with Chu Yuan. He would like to fight with the two envoys who reward the good and punish the evil to see who is stronger between him and them.

With his current martial arts skills, Xie Yanke is no match for him at all.

Although Bai Zizai had never met or fought with Xie Yanke, he guessed that his martial arts skills were not much different from Xie Yanke's, and they were masters of the same level.

In other words, "Mr. Wei De", who has a huge reputation in the martial arts world, is arrogant and conceited, and claims to be the best in the world, is no match for him.

In addition, there are also some masters in this world's Shaolin, Wudang, Qingcheng, Kongtong and other sects.

But they shouldn’t be very strong.

Because all the strong people were invited to the Knight Island to drink Laba porridge.

The only exception is the person who came from the Island of Heroes.

The strength of the people on the Island of Knights is obviously much stronger than that of the Central Plains martial arts world.

People like Zhang San and Li Si would not even have a rank on the Island of Heroes, but when they arrive in the Central Plains martial arts world, they can sweep the world.

Zhang San and Li Si are all so strong, not to mention the island master Longmu on the Hero Island.

Di Yun looked at Chu Yuan thoughtfully and said, "Brother Chu, do you know something about the inside story of the order to reward good and punish evil?"

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "I know a little."

Chu Yuan glanced at Ding Dian and Di Yun and said, "Anyway, you just need to know that the reward order for good and punishment for evil is not a bad thing, at least not for our Yunlong Gang."

Ding Dian and Di Yun are rare good people in the martial arts world, but the appearance of Chu Yuan saved them from their own tragic fate.

Therefore, the Yunlong Gang founded by the three of them is more of a righteous gang in the martial arts world.

He never oppressed the people and sometimes even punished the evildoers.

In contrast, the Changle Gang committed crimes such as assault and robbery.

It was precisely because he was afraid of the order to reward the good and punish the evil that Bei Haishi was so eager to find a scapegoat.

After hearing what Chu Yuan said, Ding Dian and Di Yun put their worries aside.
