Chapter 270 Gathering
"The people of the world are simple and honest. No matter if they know each other or not, they will fight each other as soon as they meet. But who was that young warrior just now? I don't know him. Besides, Sanyang City is not a wealthy place. A warrior who can open the Nine Apertures and is so young can only be a disciple of an aristocratic family. Ordinary martial arts halls cannot raise such a person."

At this moment, Li Yi, who was riding on the Yin horse, was still thinking about what had just happened.

However, due to his lack of understanding of the current situation in Sanyang City, he did not use his full strength in his return punch and only crippled the opponent's arm.

soon.

The Yin Horse leaped into a mansion in Sanyang City, then stopped. Then a cold wind blew, and the Yin Horse turned back into an ordinary mud horse.

And it was impossible for such a big fuss about Li Yi’s arrival not to be known to others.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the residence of our Zhao Family Martial Arts School's senior brother?" Immediately, two masters of the Blood Training Realm rushed over.

Li Yi knew one of the martial artists. He had met him several times and had some impression of him. It seemed that his name was Yuan Tianfei. He had been the backbone of the martial arts school before the incident at Zhao's martial arts school. Although he was caught later, he was rescued. Now, three months have passed, and Yuan Tianfei has recovered to his peak condition. He has vigorous energy and blood, and even has the opportunity to impact the training of the acupoints.

"Yuan Tianfei, it's me, I'm back." Li Yi said at this moment.

"Big Brother?" Yuan Tianfei stopped in shock, then quickly clasped his fists and saluted, "Hello, Big Brother. I thought a thief had broken in, but I didn't expect it was Big Brother who came back."

While he was speaking, another blood training expert beside him also saluted immediately, but he had never seen Li Yi, because when the incident happened in Zhao's martial arts school, he had already learned martial arts and became a master. It was only after the Zhao's martial arts school grew stronger and captured Sanyang City, and became famous, that he returned to the martial arts school.

"It's been more than three months since we last met. How is the Zhao family martial arts school doing now? How is our master?" Li Yi asked directly.

"With the support of our senior brother, everything is fine at the Zhao family martial arts school. Master is also in good health, without any illness or disaster. He just thinks about our senior brother all the time and hopes that he will come back." Yuan Tianfei said immediately, "Master is worried that there will be no one to take care of the mansion after our senior brother leaves, so he sends two disciples to guard here every once in a while to prevent some petty thieves from sneaking into the mansion and doing evil."

"Master is still so careful. I hope everything is fine." Li Yi nodded and said, "When I came here before, I met a young martial artist in the Lianqiao realm on the street. He was dressed gorgeously and didn't look like he was from a martial arts school. He looked more like a disciple of an aristocratic family. What's going on? Do you know the reason?"

Yuan Tianfei immediately said, "Big Brother, I do know something. Since Big Brother left, there have been many young masters in the city. According to Shouhou, he saw a powerful practitioner secretly visiting Master, but I asked him to keep this secret and not spread it. Some time ago, many carriages entered the city. Each carriage was magnificent and not owned by local tyrants. It is not difficult to guess from all these that the Fan family must have set their sights on Sanyang City and sent many masters into the city. It is even possible that there are more than just the Fan family. There may be masters from other families involved."

"I think these masters from aristocratic families are all attracted by my name. However, although there are many masters from aristocratic families recently, they have not harmed our Zhao family martial arts school at all, and have even treated us with great courtesy. Sometimes, disciples in the sect even receive gifts from some people for no apparent reason. Unfortunately, Master has kept these things secret and has not revealed anything to us. All I know are some superficial guesses. Whether these things are right or not, I still need my master to judge."

After hearing this, Li Yi roughly understood some of the reasons.

I had discussed the cross-border matter with Fan Zhizhou at the beginning, and agreed to come to Sanyang City again in about three months. Now that the time has come, the aristocratic family behind Fan Zhizhou probably can't sit still and wants to get involved.

But he remembered to ask Fan Zhizhou to keep the matter secret before leaving.

Now it seems that the secret has not been kept.

Li Yi also understood that Fan Zhizhou was just an ordinary disciple of an aristocratic family. Cross-border matters were of great importance and he probably couldn't handle it alone. Moreover, now that so many masters from aristocratic families had entered Sanyang City, although Sanyang City looked calm, there were actually undercurrents.

If I don't return to the four seas and eight continents for about three months, I believe that within half a year at most, these noble families will be unable to restrain themselves and take action against the Zhao family martial arts school.

"It seems some things still need to be dealt with. I can't let my Master be implicated because of some of my personal affairs. It's better for me to come here this time to avoid any trouble in the future." He said to himself.

Then he said, "Yuan Tianfei, please go back to Zhao's Martial Arts Hall and tell Master that I'm back. I will go to Zhao's Martial Arts Hall to visit Master later."

"Big Brother, there's no need to be so polite. We are all family. I will go and tell Master about Big Brother right away. I believe Master will be very happy to hear that Big Brother has returned."

Yuan Tianfei saluted respectfully, then immediately ran away, quickly leaving Li's house and disappearing at the end of the street.

Li Yi watched Yuan Tianfei leave, and then he said to another junior brother: "Junior brother, please help me look around the mansion. If anyone wants to see me, refuse them and tell them that I will go to the City Lord's Mansion for a banquet in a few days. Be careful. Most of those who come to see me at this time are disciples from aristocratic families. They do things lawless. If they dare to make a move, you should admit defeat and save your life. I will help you get justice later."

"Thank you for your concern, senior brother. I understand." The disciple in the Blood Training Realm nodded, and then he immediately walked out of the mansion.

Just after he had arranged some things, a fat middle-aged man came up to him, nodding and bowing, and trotting with his maid and servant.

"Greetings, master. I am sorry for my inability to serve you well. Please forgive me." Jin Dafu said respectfully.

Li Yi took a look and said, "Jin Dafu, how has your mansion been doing during the time I was away?"

"Thanks to my master, everything is fine." Jin Dafu said, "After the martial arts school incident was settled last time, I worked very hard and finally got some of the mansion's industries running. Now I can collect more than 15,000 taels of silver every month. But I was really too busy to take the initiative and hired a few accountants and servants. I will ask my master to review it later."

"I don't want to get involved in these little things. You can handle it yourself. You are a smart person, and I believe you know what to do in many things." Li Yi said calmly.

"Thank you for your trust, my master. I would never have any selfish motives. Everything I do is for your sake." Jin Dafu felt a lot of pressure at this moment because he found that Li Yi's aura was even more terrifying than it was three months ago.

Just standing next to it makes people feel scared and awe-inspiring.

In fact, this is not momentum at all, but the difference in life levels.

"Master, have some tea."

At this time, a beautiful maid with a graceful and slender figure respectfully handed over a cup of tea.

Li Yi took a glance and remembered the maid. Her name seemed to be Su Qiaoer. She was carefully selected by Jin Dafu and sent to his mansion to serve him. However, he had no interest in this beautiful maid.

He drank the tea in one gulp, then asked, "Where's my Babao deer? How is it? Is it dead?"

"I live in the backyard. How dare I be careless with my master's Eight Treasure Deer? I have been taking good care of it. But the expenses are quite high. It costs five or six thousand taels of silver a month." Jin Dafu said immediately, "I am responsible for the food and purchases of the Eight Treasure Deer. I dare not have the slightest selfish motive."

He was well aware of the status and position of the Eight Treasure Deer in this mansion, so he would not dare to mistreat the wild delicacy even if he mistreat anyone else.

"Let's go and take a look." Li Yi then strode towards the backyard.

However, before he arrived, the eight-treasure deer living in the backyard heard the noise and smelled Li Yi's scent, and immediately came out from a room.

Compared with its skinny appearance more than three months ago, the current Babao Deer can be said to have changed its appearance. Not only is it strong and muscular, but it has also grown a lot bigger. Even new antlers have grown halfway. The whole deer seems to have been reborn, and it feels like it has become a spirit.

When the Eight Treasure Deer saw Li Yi, it immediately trotted over, then lowered its head in front of him, sniffing his scent, behaving very docilely.

"It's well taken care of. It seems that Jin Dafu, you have really taken good care of it during the time I was away. It's worth it that I spared your life." Li Yi said as he inspected other places in the mansion. Seeing that everything was cleaned and quiet, and some of the previously damaged gatehouses had been repaired, he knew that Jin Dafu had not been lazy.

"How's it going over at Daqing Mountain?"

"Everything is being taken care of. Everything is fine." Jin Dafu said respectfully.

Li Yi said, "That's good. Go and collect the 1,000 taels reward as a reward for you. Also, bring a horse. I need to go out for a while."

"Thank you for the reward, my lord. I'll prepare the horse right away." Jin Dafu was in a very happy mood at the moment. It wasn't that he really cared about the reward of one thousand taels, but after his performance in the past three months, he had firmly established himself and no longer had to worry about being suddenly replaced.

You have to know that the aftermath of the last martial arts school is still there, and he is close to the destroyed Jin family martial arts school. If he is replaced, what awaits him is revenge, and then an inexplicable death.

In the entire Sanyang City, only Li Yi can protect him, no one else can.

As a black horse was led out, Li Yi took the things he was traveling with, rode out of the mansion on the horse, and then headed straight for Zhao's Martial Arts School.

At this time, Zhao Ge, as the master, also received the news from Yuan Tianfei. After knowing Li Yi's arrival, he immediately ordered his disciples to prepare a big banquet to welcome Li Yi. In addition, he specially arranged Shou Hou, Rong Niang, and Zhao Qian to greet him at the door of Zhao's martial arts hall. However, the three people are now completely different. After Rong Niang, Zhao Qian, and Shou Hou were helped by Li Yi to start the evolutionary journey last time, they can be said to have been reborn in three months. Their martial arts realm has advanced by leaps and bounds. Now they have reached the peak of blood training and are currently accumulating blood and qi to prepare for the impact of the acupoint training realm.

At this rate of practice, I believe that within half a year, the three of them will be able to successfully break through, because they are all very young, and their energy and blood still have room to improve, and have not yet reached their peak.

By then, the Zhao family martial arts school will be a school of five training techniques, and it will definitely be considered a powerful force in Sanyang City.

Moreover, as their bodies continue to evolve and their potential increases, it will not be a problem for them to become powerful cultivators in the future.

"Brother Yi is here."

Suddenly, Zhao Qian's eyes lit up. She saw a man riding a black horse on the street in the distance and heading straight for the martial arts hall. An instinctive judgment made her know that it was Li Yi who returned before she even saw the person clearly.

"It's really the senior brother." The skinny monkey also became a little excited.

Although Rong Niang didn't say anything, her beautiful eyes were filled with an inexplicable look. Her heart was instantly lifted up and she was looking forward to it.

"Uu~!"

Li Yi arrived on horseback. He stopped his horse in front of the martial arts hall and then got off.

"Brother Yi."

"Big brother."

"Senior brother."

The three people came forward one after another, all with joy on their faces.

"Yes, you all look energetic. That makes me feel relieved." Li Yi nodded with a smile, then observed several people and was satisfied with their condition.

Sure enough, the body is different after it evolves.

Unfortunately, the cosmic energy in this world is thin, and three months is not enough for them to open their spiritual mediums. However, the benefits of physical evolution to martial arts have already become apparent. Now they are considered talented people in the world, and their future achievements will definitely not be low.

"Brother Yi is the same. He is more imposing than he was a few months ago." Zhao Qian said. As an evolver, she can now more keenly perceive the gap between herself and Li Yi.

"I think Senior Brother's strength has improved recently. This is normal. With Senior Brother's talent, a breakthrough in cultivation is as easy as eating and drinking. More than three months have passed, and Senior Brother must have reached a new realm." The skinny monkey boasted with a smile.

Li Yi said, "I have been delayed in my cultivation recently, and have not made much progress. I have only reached the level of practicing Qi. By the way, is Master in the martial arts hall?"

"Master heard that the eldest brother had returned and was already waiting in the lobby." Rong Niang said with a smile.

"Let's go and pay our respects to the master first." Li Yi said.

Several people responded and followed immediately.

After Li Yi entered the Zhao's Martial Arts School, he found that there was a group of new disciples in the school. They were very young, all children around ten years old. They were taught by other junior brothers and were training their muscles and bones in preparation for learning martial arts in the future.

"Brother, these are the disciples we recruited recently, but they haven't passed the assessment yet. Three months later, only those who have passed the assessment can enter the Zhao family martial arts school and become formal disciples." Rong Niang explained.

Zhao Qian also nodded and said, "When the martial arts school reopens, new disciples are indispensable. Without disciples passing on the knowledge from generation to generation, the martial arts school will not last long. However, after the loss we suffered last time, this time when recruiting disciples, Daddy will pay more attention to character rather than talent. If the character is not good, Daddy will not accept the disciple even if the talent is good."

"Of course. Who can compare with the senior brother in terms of talent? The martial arts school is not short of masters now, but what it lacks is the backbone. Naturally, character is more important." The skinny monkey said with a smile.

"Indeed, character is more important than talent. A martial arts school cannot train a disciple who is ungrateful." Li Yi nodded in agreement.

As they were talking, they soon arrived at the lobby of Zhao's Martial Arts School.

At this moment, the master Zhao Ge was already standing at the entrance of the lobby.

Compared to three months ago, Zhao Ge has changed greatly. The wrinkles on his face have disappeared, his slightly hunched back has straightened up again, his originally thin body has become strong again, and even his originally gray hair has completely turned black. He looks like he is twenty years younger and is almost unrecognizable.

This transformation is normal.

Because all of Zhao Ge's injuries were healed, in addition to that, his lost life span was also restored, and he himself started on the road of evolution. His body functions were enhanced, and his Qi and blood not only returned to their peak, but also showed an upward trend.

As long as he doesn't encounter any incidents of ghosts or gods taking his life in the future, he is very confident that his martial arts realm will be further improved and he will break through to become a powerful martial arts practitioner.

His faith was back, and Zhao Ge did not show any sign of dejection at all. Instead, he was full of energy and vigor. He stood with his hands behind his back, like a mountain looming over everyone's heart.

With such a museum owner in charge, even if Li Yi left, few people in Sanyang City could cause trouble.

"Disciple Li Yi, greetings to Master." Li Yi took two steps at a time and stepped forward to salute with his fists.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'm glad you're back. We're all family, no need to be so polite." Zhao Ge was delighted and immediately helped Li Yi up.

As soon as he laid hands on him, he felt the surging energy and blood in Li Yi's body. This energy and blood was simply unfathomable, like a calm river. If waves were to arise, it would be extremely terrifying.

This is what made Zhao Ge shocked again.

Although they haven't seen each other for more than three months, it is understandable that Li Yi is practicing Qigong, but his energy and blood are so strong that he is simply not a human.

"Your Qi and blood..." Then, Zhao Ge couldn't help but ask, "It's incredible. Your body has transformed again. Is there really no end to the road of cultivation?"

Although he is also an evolver, he is far inferior to Li Yi.

"Dad, why are you only concerned about Brother Yi's cultivation? Brother Yi just came back today. Shouldn't we give him a good welcome?" Zhao Qian said hurriedly.

"Yep."

Zhao Ge came to his senses instantly, and slapped his head, thinking that it was a bit inappropriate to talk about cultivation at this time.

"Come on, disciple. It's rare for you to come back this time. You must drink a few jars with Master. Today, we are a family and we will not go home until we are drunk."

He laughed out loud at this moment and felt very happy.

Li Yi felt the heroic spirit in his master's laughter and knew that his master's spirit had returned. He was very happy. Although he didn't like drinking, he was willing to risk his life to accompany him today.

However, just when the Zhao family martial arts school was holding a banquet.

In Sanyang City, the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion was also filled with experts and the atmosphere was solemn.
