Chapter 210: A Breath of Injustice
There are two routes from Zhongyuan to Dali.

One route is to first enter Jingzhao Prefecture from the Central Plains, then enter Chengdu Prefecture in Sichuan from Jingzhao Prefecture, and then go to Dali from Chengdu Prefecture.

Another route is to go through the Central Plains into western Hunan, then into Juzhou (Guizhou), and then to Dali.

Xiangxi and Juzhou are both mountainous, the journey is even longer and more difficult.

So Chu Yuan and his team chose the first route.

Along the way, they had an easy time because they were accompanied by Duan Yu, the prince of Dali, and the royal family members. Except for resting on the roadside during the day, they mostly stayed in inns in towns at night.

Chu Yuan lost no time and passed on all his martial arts, including "Northern Divine Art", "Lingbo Weibu", "Tianshan Six Yang Palm", etc., to A-Bi.

This day.

dusk.

The setting sun in the sky, with its golden afterglow, is crumbling.

Chu Yuan and his companions came to a small town called Luping Town, a hundred miles away from Jingzhao Prefecture.

We found an inn in the town and each asked for a room. After dinner, it was already evening.

Although it was just getting dark, there was not much entertainment at night in ancient times, so everyone went back to their rooms.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Chu Yuan got up and opened it, and saw A-Bi standing in the dark corridor.

A-Bi seemed to be used to it. She came to Chu Yuan's room late at night and said, "Brother Chu!"

Chu Yuan turned around and said, "Come in!"

A-Bi entered the room and closed the door.

When I entered the room, the flame of the white candle on the table was flickering.

Chu Yuan sat at the table and began to teach A-Bi martial arts as he did in the past.

Teaching martial arts is not a matter of a day or a night, especially for A-Bi, who is not very talented in martial arts, to learn these magical skills of the Xiaoyao Sect.

So along the way, Chu Yuan spent a lot of time teaching A Bi, and was very dedicated.

"Boss, you said your inn is clean and tidy, the cleanest inn in this town, why is there still dust on the floor of the room? How dare you lie to me!"

"Madam, there is a little dust on the ground. Isn't this a very normal thing?"

At this moment, a somewhat cold and familiar female voice and the innocent voice of the innkeeper were heard from downstairs.

"Brother Chu, it seems to be my aunt... No, it's Madam Wang."

When A-Bi heard this voice, she gradually lost interest in martial arts and said to Chu Yuan.

She remembered that she was no longer Murong Fu's maid, and immediately changed her words.

Chu Yuan also stopped teaching martial arts to A Bi. He looked out the window and saw the bright moon hanging high in the sky, dotted with stars.

No one knew when Mrs. Wang came to the inn, and she actually stayed in the same inn with them.

Chu Yuan looked deep and said, "Don't show up yet, let's hear what's going on!"

Ah Bi trusted Chu Yuan very much and listened to Chu Yuan very much. She nodded and said, "I'll listen to you, Brother Chu."

"You lied and soiled my dress. Madam Zhang, Madam Liu, go and cut off the tongues and legs of the innkeeper and the waiter. See if he dares to lie again in the future!"

"As ordered."

"Please, spare my life, we were wrong, we deceived you..."

Outside the room door, downstairs, came the fearful voices of the shopkeeper and the waiter begging for mercy.

"Since you know you are wrong and admit that you lied to me, there is no need to chop off their legs and feet, Madam Zhang and Madam Liu. Just cut off their tongues and kill them directly. Bury them in the backyard and use them as fertilizer. This is not Mantuo Villa. It's a pity to waste this excellent fertilizer."

Mrs. Wang's cold voice came from downstairs outside the room again.

"Brother Chu..."

A-Bi looked at Chu Yuan with concern. She knew that Mrs. Wang had a vicious personality and had the habit of killing people to make fertilizer for flowers.

Before, when she and her sister Azhu were in Yanziwu, they were also afraid of seeing Mrs. Wang.

The waiter downstairs and the innkeeper actually offended Mrs. Wang just because there was dust on the floor of the room. Mrs. Wang actually wanted to kill them, and they happened to meet them.

The kind-hearted A-Bi was just about to ask Chu Yuan to help save the waiter and the innkeeper.

"You vicious woman..."

"Just because there was dust on the floor of the inn room, he was going to kill someone..."

Two men's voices were heard outside the house again.

Chu Yuan immediately recognized that these two people were the retainers Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui who were guarding Duan Yu.

It turned out that they also couldn't stand what Mrs. Wang did, so they stood up and spoke up for her.

"Brother Chu, it's Brother Zhu and Brother Fu, but the maids around Madam Wang are very powerful in martial arts. The two of them are outnumbered and I'm afraid they are no match for them!"

A-Bi immediately recognized who was speaking for the shopkeeper and the waiter, and she said to Chu Yuan.

"Listen to the situation again."

Chu Yuan frowned.

A hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. He had long known about Li Qingluo's bad habits.

I didn't expect that just because there was dust on the floor of the inn room, they would cut off the tongues of the innkeeper and the waiter, kill them and bury them in the backyard.

Over the years, no one knows how many people have died in Li Qingluo and her Mantuo Villa, and have been used as fertilizer for the flowers planted in the soil.

He had borrowed the Langhuan Jade Cave from Mantuo Villa before, but that was a fair deal and he left his martial arts behind when he left, so he didn't owe Mantuo Villa any favors.

Then, there was a sound of fierce fighting coming from downstairs outside.

"Madam, they seem to be Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui, retainers of the Duan family of Dali."

Among the maids, someone seemed to recognize the identities of Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui.

"The people of the Duan family deserve to die, and the servants of the Duan family deserve to die even more. However, I am going to Dali to meet that ungrateful man. Since they are his people, I will show mercy and not kill them. I will cut off one of their hands and feet as punishment for offending me. You all come together and take them down quickly."

Then Mrs. Wang said again.

As soon as Mrs. Wang finished speaking, the sound of fighting downstairs became even louder.

It seemed that Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui were caught in the siege.

"You evil woman."

"Don't try to succeed."

Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui said angrily.

But from the sound of their voices, it seemed that Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui, who were under siege, were lacking in energy when they spoke. They were already at a disadvantage and might be defeated at any time.

"Come on, let's go out and take a look."

Chu Yuan couldn't bear it any longer, and stood up and said to A Bi beside him.

Then he opened the door and walked out. Seeing Chu Yuan go out, A Bi also stood up and followed him.

Chu Yuan had just opened the door when he saw Duan Yu walking out of the room next to him.

"Big brother!"

Duan Yu shouted to Chu Yuan.

Like Chu Yuan, he had just picked up a Buddhist scripture and was reading it in the room. When he heard the noise downstairs outside the door, he did not choose to take action immediately. Instead, he listened in the room for a while to confirm the identity of the people downstairs and the cause of the conflict. Seeing that Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui were about to collapse, he was ready to show up and help.

"Leave it to me."

Chu Yuan said to Duan Yu.

Duan Yu originally thought that Chu Yuan didn't need to personally take action on this matter, as his martial arts skills were enough to resolve the matter.

But when he saw Chu Yuan's cold eyes at this time, he immediately realized that Mrs. Wang's cruel methods had angered Chu Yuan.

Now that he knew that Wang Yuyan was his "sister", he no longer had any improper thoughts about her.

Naturally, she had no favoritism towards her cruel and vicious mother, Mrs. Wang.

But thinking that this Madam Wang was one of his father's mistresses after all, Duan Yu pleaded with Chu Yuan: "Brother, please show mercy and spare her life."

Chu Yuan neither agreed nor disagreed, but stood in the corridor on the second floor, looking towards the lobby on the first floor.

I saw that candles were lit on several candlesticks in the lobby on the first floor. At this time, the lobby on the first floor was as bright as day and the light was very bright.

The situation in the lobby can also be seen very clearly.

Mrs. Wang, who had not been seen for many days, was standing in front of the counter in the lobby on the first floor, wearing a noble goose yellow silk shirt with a chest binding, and was accompanied by nearly ten young maids.

Not far away, six sturdy but extremely agile maids were besieging Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui.

The entire first floor lobby was filled with broken tables and chairs, and it looked a mess.

Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui were beaten back step by step by six maids.

The innocent shopkeeper and two waiters were hiding in the corner, trembling with fear.

Chu Yuan whistled and shouted to the lobby on the first floor of the inn: "Stop!"

Chu Yuan's shout was as fast as thunder and could be heard from miles away.

Not only this inn, but also the people living around this inn, all covered their ears with painful expressions.

They felt as if there was a loud thunder, like a lion's roar, ringing in their ears, almost deafening them.

Mrs. Wang and her group of maids and maids in the lobby on the first floor of the inn were blown away by the shock of the sound. After landing, they all bled from all seven orifices. Among them were the six maids with high martial arts skills who were being taken care of by Chu Yuan.

Three of them were killed by Chu Yuan at once. Although the remaining three were not dead, their tendons and veins were broken and bleeding from all seven orifices. They were not far from death.

However, the innkeeper and the waiter who were hiding in the corner, as well as Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui, did not suffer any harm because they were avoided by Chu Yuan. They just felt that the sound was deafening, like a lion's roar and thunder.

"Chu Yuan, you received a favor from my Wang family, but you turned it into hatred and attacked me. You are such an ungrateful person."

With the help of her maid, Mrs. Wang stood up from the ground and happened to see Chu Yuan standing in the corridor on the second floor. Her eyes were full of resentment.

Just because of Chu Yuan's clear whistle just now, the several maids with high martial arts skills under her command are now basically dead or injured, and they no longer have any support for their arrogance.

Chu Yuan was too lazy to say more to this woman. He stretched out his right hand towards Li Qingluo and performed the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Palm".

In Li Qingluo's horrified eyes, she felt a suction force in Chu Yuan's palm that she could not resist at all, sucking her into Chu Yuan's palm through the air. Her body flew into the air and fell into Chu Yuan's hands at an extremely fast speed.

When he pinched Madam Wang's soft neck, Madam Wang's heart was filled with fear. The resentment in her eyes disappeared, and a trace of pleading flashed across her eyes: "Young Master Chu, my father is Wuyazi, considering your relationship with him..." But Chu Yuan was too lazy to say more to Madam Wang. He gently exerted force with his tiger's mouth and broke Madam Wang's neck.

Under Mrs. Wang's unwilling gaze, her consciousness gradually fell into darkness.

"Second brother, my men..."

Seeing that Chu Yuan was about to kill Madam Wang, Duan Yu was about to plead for mercy.

But before he could say anything, Chu Yuan had already twisted Li Qingluo's neck.

"Although I did enter the Langhuan Jade Cave and showed your Wang family a favor, I used martial arts to trade fairly with your Wang family at that time, so it can't be considered as repaying kindness with enmity or being ungrateful."

Chu Yuan looked at the middle-aged beauty in his hand, who was wearing a goose yellow silk shirt, had fair skin and a plump figure. He threw the body on the ground.

"People practice martial arts not only to protect themselves, but sometimes they practice martial arts to vent their anger when they see injustice. If it is because she has some relationship with you and me, I will let her go and spare her life. I will feel really unhappy."

After killing Li Qingluo, Chu Yuan turned his gaze to Duan Yu.

Duan Yu:......

He looked at Li Qingluo's body on the ground, then looked at Chu Yuan.

The people have already been killed, there is no point in saying more.

"Second brother, this Madam Wang was once a relative of my father. You killed his mistress. I'm afraid your trip to Dali to find the Eternal Spring Valley will encounter setbacks."

Duan Yu reminded Chu Yuan tactfully.

Chu Yuan said indifferently: "If the Dali royal family refuses to help me, then I will find it myself."

Duan Yu looked at Madam Wang's body lying on the ground. He recalled the previous rumors about her vicious character, and the facts he had just witnessed with his own eyes. For a moment, he felt relieved.

Duan Yu assured: "Don't worry, second brother, this time when we go to Dali, even if my father doesn't help you, I will help you find it."

Chu Yuan shook his head and said, "Your father has both an affectionate and ruthless side. He is affectionate everywhere and has many lovers. He loves every one he sees. When he is alone with a lover, he truly loves the other person. That's why so many women still miss him even after getting married. But he has no sense of responsibility towards his lovers. Now that Madam Wang is dead, your father will not offend me because of a small matter, even if he is from the Dali royal family."

Duan Yu thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.

"That was a good kill. This is the first time I've seen such a vicious woman cut off someone's tongue and killed him and buried him in the backyard just because there was dust on the floor of the room."

Duan Yu's retainer Fu Sigui was speaking in the lobby downstairs at this time.

Zhu Danchen did not speak, because he was concerned about Madam Wang, who was once the woman of his own prince.

"Thank you, young hero!"

"Thank you, young man, for killing this evil woman and saving our lives!"

The two waiters and the innkeeper, who were almost killed by Madam Wang after her tongues were cut off, immediately went upstairs and knelt in front of Chu Yuan, kowtowed and thanked him.

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."

Chu Yuan said.

At this time, because the conflict was over, the guests who had been hiding in the room came out one after another and looked at Chu Yuan from afar.

The inn, which was originally a bit deserted at night, suddenly became lively.

"Young man, it's just a piece of cake for you, but you saved our lives."

The innkeeper kowtowed and said to Chu Yuan.

"The lady is dead!"

"He killed the lady!"

The maids and nannies downstairs, seeing Madam Wang die like this, were terrified and screamed, trying to escape.

Chu Yuan ignored Wang Furen's maid and the runaway maidservant. He looked down upon the three surviving maids, gave each of them a "Heart-Destroying Palm", and sent them away.

Before these maids could escape from the inn, their internal organs shattered and they fell to the ground and died.

In Chu Yuan's opinion, these maids were thugs specially trained by Madam Wang, and they should have the most deaths on their hands.

The remaining maids had no martial arts skills and were probably just servants who simply served others.

Chu Yuan specially left a nanny behind and did not kill her.

His voice began to become seductive, and Chu Yuan said to the nanny: "Come back!"

The sound was like a devil's voice, pouring into the nanny's ears, and even if the nanny covered her ears, it was of no use.

Then the next moment, the nanny's expression changed and her eyes became dull. She, who had just escaped from the inn, turned around and went back to the inn.

"Come to me!"

Chu Yuan said to the nanny who was in her forties, had a stout build and looked more manly than any other man.

Under the incredulous gazes of Duan Yu, Fu Sigui, Zhu Danchen, A-Bi and everyone else in the inn, the nanny actually walked up the stairs to the second floor.

"Second brother, what kind of martial arts is this?"

When Duan Yu saw this scene, he looked a little bit unbelievable.

He didn't expect that there were such strange martial arts in the world.

This isn't martial arts, it's magic, right?

"The Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique, the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect!"

Chu Yuan replied.

It was only after he mastered the "Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique" that he realized that this martial art could not only be used to transmit sound, but also to control other people's minds.

When encountering an opponent with similar or even slightly weaker power than oneself, this "Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique" can disturb the opponent's mind. If encountering an opponent with much weaker power than oneself, this "Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique" can disturb the opponent's mind. If encountering an opponent with much weaker power than oneself, it can control the opponent and make them do anything without knowing it.

Chu Yuan suspected that Li Qiushui had used this "Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique" to drive Tianshan Tonglao into insanity.

"I never thought that the Xiaoyao Sect actually has such a powerful martial art."

Duan Yu was a little envious.

Although the "Northern Divine Art" and "Lingbo Weibu" he obtained were extremely powerful, this "Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique" was obviously a martial art that was not inferior to "Northern Divine Art" and "Lingbo Weibu".

He probably knew that Chu Yuan's Xiaoyao Sect martial arts were taught by Wuyazi, and he had no intention of asking Chu Yuan to pass on the "Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique" to him.

The main reason was that he felt that martial arts skills were sufficient, and compared to martial arts, he was more interested in Buddhist scriptures.

Chu Yuan called the nanny to his side and asked her some questions about Mantuo Villa.

The more they asked, the colder their faces became. Duan Yu and A-Bi, who originally thought that Chu Yuan was a bit rash in killing Madam Wang, felt that it was a good decision after listening to the nanny's account of the evil things Madam Wang had done.

According to this maid, in recent years alone, including those who were killed and used as fertilizer for flowers and those who had their limbs chopped off and buried alive, there are no fewer than hundreds of bodies buried at Mantuo Villa.

That’s not all. Sometimes when Lady Wang was on patrol, she would kill and bury any common people she disliked, just like what happened just now.

As for the reason for the murder...

Strange and strange.

Some people hated Duan Zhengchun so much that everyone with the surname Duan suffered.

In these years, no one except Duan Yu could survive from Mrs. Wang.

Sometimes, just because of where they live, they will be killed if they see a man.

In Gusu City, if Li Qingluo heard that a man was looking for a woman outside, she would force the man to kill his wife and marry the woman outside.

There are so many things like this, it is simply too numerous to mention...

Although Li Qingluo killed so many people, the Wang family was a big family in Jiangnan. In addition, although Li Qingluo herself did not want to endure the hardship of practicing martial arts, she had the Langhuan Jade Cave at home, which could not be wasted.

She recruited some maids to train them and let them practice the martial arts in the Langhuan Jade Cave to be her thugs. Even the government officials who were dissatisfied with Li Qingluo's disregard for human life could not get any advantage in front of Li Qingluo and could only let her do as she pleased...

At last……

With a cold face, Chu Yuan slapped the maid on the top of her head and killed her.

This interrogation finally came to an end.

"Please ask your retainers to report to the authorities and dispose of the bodies in the inn."

Chu Yuan said to Duan Yu.

This interrogation made Chu Yuan feel that it was the right thing to do to kill Madam Wang.

"Brother, don't worry, leave this matter to me."

Duan Yu agreed.

Chu Yuan turned around and went back to the room.

The next morning.

In the morning light, Chu Yuan and his party continued along the official road towards Dali in the southwest.

Yesterday, government officials arrived and learned that Chu Yuan had killed Li Qingluo. The Song Dynasty court official, the prefect of Jingzhao, even wanted to meet Chu Yuan, but was politely declined by Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan was too lazy to have anything to do with government officials.

More than half a month later, they arrived at Dali Kingdom via Chengdu Prefecture.

Dali's terrain is high in the west and low in the east, and high in the north and low in the south.

The mountain is majestic and tall, like an arch or a screen.

Chu Yuan and his companions first arrived at Yangzhumie City, the capital of Dali.

This was once the capital of the Nanzhao Kingdom, and after the Dali Kingdom was established more than a hundred years ago, it became the capital of Dali.

Yangzhumie City is located at the foot of Cangshan Mountain and on the shore of Erhai Lake.

Chu Yuan is now very famous, and his name is known throughout the martial arts world. Although he is young, he is already a rare master in the world who can be compared with the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Qiao Feng. He is also the Green Lotus Messenger of the Beggars' Sect, and can be said to be in a high position of power.

So before Chu Yuan and Duan Yu came back, Duan Yu sent someone back in advance to inform his father Duan Zhengchun and the Dali royal family.

After learning that Chu Yuan was coming, the Dali royal family handed the matter of hosting Chu Yuan over to Duan Zhengchun.

Duan Zhengchun didn't have a very good impression of Chu Yuan. He originally didn't want to come, but because he had to give an explanation to the royal family, he had to come in person.

Yangzhumie City, east gate.

Duan Zhengchun, his queen Dao Baifeng, and a team of more than a hundred soldiers were standing at the city gate, waiting for Chu Yuan's arrival.

"coming."

In the glaring sunlight, seeing several people approaching from a distance, Dao Baifeng nudged Duan Zhengchun with her arm to remind him.
