In the early morning, on a certain section of the E River, a figure struggled to climb ashore from the river. The man dragged a broken right arm, trembling all over, looked back at the river where he came from, and stumbled forward.

I can't die, I can't die...

The man kept saying this to himself in his mind, but his physical condition was very pessimistic. He was the only one who escaped after a palm fight with Yi Shuyuan.

The right arm that had stopped bleeding was now oozing blood, and the arm bones and muscles that poked out of the body were pale and pale. When he found a shabby hut that could provide some shelter from the wind and rain, the man opened the broken door and entered.

He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, opened the cork with his teeth, and poured the medicine into his mouth while trembling.

After taking a few pills, the man sat down cross-legged and began to exercise to heal his injuries. Soon, a trace of white mist rose above his head.

"puff......"

After spitting out a mouthful of black blood, the man's internal energy felt a little better, but the physical pain became more and more obvious.

"Innate realm, innate realm, I am only one step away, and the gap is like a chasm... Whoa, whoa, cough, it's so ironic..."

"Xian Zhenqi, is he really so domineering and powerful..."

The man also considers himself to be an existence that surpasses the average first-class master, and has even been able to vaguely touch the threshold of the innate realm, but he has been unable to make any further progress for more than ten years.

What's ridiculous is that the man thought that even if he really met a master in the innate realm, he would at least be able to fight, but the reality was so cruel.

He really met an innate master, but he couldn't even catch a palm. The man finally understood that he was completely vulnerable to a master of that level!

That terrifying aura, that terrifying palm power, and the profound and extraordinary innate energy, even thinking about it at this moment still puts overwhelming pressure on the man!

As he thought about it, the man suppressed his energy and became flustered. His remaining internal energy became disordered again, and he immediately passed out.

I don't know how long it took for the man to wake up from his dream, and then he looked around in panic. The blurry figure with long hair swaying in the wind was already lingering like a nightmare in the dark night.

"Cough, cough, cough, vomit..."

The man covered his mouth with his left hand, but there was still blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth. The injuries in his body were still getting worse. The injuries caused by his innate Qi were not something that his internal strength could completely contend with.

No, we have to set off immediately. This matter is far bigger than imagined. If the gang continues to get involved, it is not a matter of interests, but a matter of life and death!

The few people who were arrested may not be able to keep their mouths shut!

The man didn't dare to think any more, struggled to stand up and rushed out of the house, facing the cold spring rain. Fortunately, he still had some money, so he found a local man to fix his right arm, bought an old horse, and rode along the river.

run.

"The master's helmsman, the helmsman is coming soon..."

Two days later, the seriously injured man, who had been riding a horse, finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell off the horse and fell unconscious by the river.

------------------

A hand carrying a strong wind struck him, and a sense of fear instantly filled everything.

"ah......"

The man straightened up amidst the screams. While gasping for air, he opened his eyes wide and looked around in panic.

This was a large, slightly swaying cabin, and he slept on a clean bed. Even the injury on his right arm had been re-treated.

"Cough cough cough... vomit..."

The semi-solidified blood stuck in his throat was coughed up and vomited out. The man gasped and looked at the blood in his palms. It was obvious that someone had treated his injuries.

Someone outside seemed to notice that the man was awake and quickly shouted in surprise.

"Palace Master Yu is awake—Palace Master Yu is awake—"

Soon there were more footsteps outside the room, and a man who looked like a young gentleman hurriedly walked in surrounded by a group of people, and then sat beside the bed.

"Hall Master Yu, who hurt you like this? Didn't you go to do something important? Where are the others? What happened?"

The injured man propped himself up against the wall of the junior cabin, panting slightly and looking at the person in front of him.

"Mr. Master, how long have I been unconscious?"

"It's been two days since we found you by the river, Hall Master Yu, what exactly happened?"

After hearing what the young master said, the man named Yu suddenly looked shocked.

"What? It's been two days? Young Master, go find the gang leader quickly. It's too late. This time I went to do something and met a master of the innate realm. I only exchanged a palm with that person and almost died.

Under the power of his palm, quickly, notify the gang leader... cough cough cough..."

"Innate master?"

The young man stood up in shock and reacted immediately.

"What you are going to do is related to an innate master? Why would you offend such a person? Who is he?"

The injured man grabbed the young man's arm with his left hand.

"Quickly send someone to inform the gang leader, we, we have been deceived. This matter is not as simple as solving one person's teeth. There are innate masters behind the scenes. I'm waiting, cough cough cough... I'm afraid I've been involved.

Entering into a dispute that threatens the survival of the gang, let the gang leader make plans quickly, ahem..."

The more Hall Master Yu talked, the more excited he became, his coughing became more violent, and blood kept flowing out of his mouth. The young master quickly comforted him.

"Okay, okay, Hall Master Yu, don't get excited, I will notify my father as soon as possible! Uncle Yan, help Gang Leader Yu exercise his skills and heal his injuries!"

The brief chaos in the cabin was over for the time being. The young man walked out of the cabin worriedly. He ordered someone to take out the carrier pigeon and send the message away directly. He stood on the deck and looked at the rolling river surface and then looked at the cabin. In the young man's heart

Some anxiety and confusion.

What happened to the gang? Where did Hall Master Yu go before?

At this moment, a middle-aged man also walked onto the deck, with sweat appearing on his forehead.

"Sir, Hall Master Yu's injuries have been stabilized for the time being, but that innate true energy is too overbearing. Hall Master Yu's skill will probably be..."

"Looking at this situation, it's good to be able to save one life. Those who haven't come back will probably never come back. Uncle Yan, what are my father and the others doing?"

The middle-aged man frowned and shook his head slightly.

"I only know that it has something to do with the royal court distributing salt. It is said that we have been very prosperous in recent years and have rarely been involved in the affairs of the world. How could we suddenly encounter such a powerful enemy? A master of the innate realm has not appeared in the world for many years.

, I’m afraid there will be a bloody storm this time..."

The young master looked slightly startled, and then his eyes narrowed.

"Shiobei? Is it really a matter of Jianghu? In today's world, where there are innate masters, it's not just Jianghu..."

The man named Yan was suddenly startled, and his face instantly became horrified.

"Young Master is saying that maybe the imperial court is going to take action?"

The young master looked at the people around him and made a decision immediately.

"We haven't figured it out yet, but we can't delay it. Uncle Yan, put Hall Master Yu on your back, and we'll go see my father immediately!"

------------------

It is not just the people of the Tianjing Gang who are worried. In Wuzhou City, six hundred miles away in Yuanjiang County, there is someone who has been unable to sleep at night during this period. It is Teng Jingcai, the general judge of Wuzhou.

Teng Jingcai was not originally a general judge, but a governor of Wu.

As an assistant officer appointed by the magistrate himself and then approved by the imperial court, Changshi naturally has a very close relationship with the magistrate. When the original governor of Wuzhou was promoted to Minister of Civil Affairs, Teng Jingcai was quickly promoted to governor of Wuzhou. In two years, he is expected to be able to

Transferred to governor of another state.

It's a pity that an urgent letter broke Teng Jingcai's comfortable official and financial fortune. This letter came from his old Shangguan, Sheng Shuying, who is now the Minister of Civil Affairs.

As soon as he saw the fierce words and content in the letter, Teng Jingcai knew that something big had happened. Jia Yuntong was actually arrested in Yuezhou, and he even confessed and gave his name. Now the charges have been sent to the capital Chengtian Mansion.

At this time, Teng Jingcai was in a panic. He sent people to ventilate everywhere, and even paid a lot of money to invite the "Trouble Solving Immortal", and promised the Sky Whale Gang to help with the long-term salt supply.

This trouble-solving immortal is quite famous in Wuzhou and is good at all kinds of rituals. He once showed his skills in front of the magistrate, which amazed the officials present at the time.

Teng Jingcai had a good relationship with Dixian in private, and he knew that the other party had some more powerful abilities. This time, he used money and favors to persuade the other party to take action.

In this way, no evidence can be left behind, but it can be used to accuse the Yuanjiang County Magistrate of slandering the imperial officials, and may even slander the ministers of the DPRK.

Although the trouble-solving immortal promised everything and promised that it would definitely happen, as the days passed, Teng Jingcai began to feel uneasy.

Looking forward to it day and night, some messages came back from other directions. The most critical direction was Yuanjiang County. More than half a month had passed, but there was no good news.

It was already late at night, and Teng Jingcai was sitting in his study. Although he opened the book, he felt extremely anxious inside.

"Sir, the people from the Sky Whale Gang want to see you."

Sky Whale Gang? Has it become a gang?

"Invite them in quickly! No, I will go there myself!"

Teng Jingcai quickly stood up and walked outside with his servants, his steps becoming more brisk than ever before. As soon as they arrived in the front yard, the servants had already brought the people from the Sky Whale Gang to the living room.

"Fellow righteous men, I'm looking forward to receiving good news from you! Where is Immortal Zhou? But it's done?"

There were four people from the Tianjing Gang, one of whom was pale and haggard, a young master, an old leader of the Tianjing Gang whom Teng Jingcai was familiar with, and a man who was supporting someone. When the four saw Teng Jingcai coming over, they hurriedly saluted together.

"I've met Mr. Teng!"

"No gifts, no gifts, but the thing was done? Why didn't you see the great trouble-solving immortal Zhou Xianchang?"

The gang leader looked at his son, who nodded slightly, took a step forward and cupped his hands slightly.

"Of course it's done, but that method, uh, Immortal Chief Zhou said that he has suffered a lot and needs to go back to rest first. I'm afraid he won't show up for another ten and a half months."
