In the secret room, Duan Xinheng finished recounting the past in a low tone and said, "I originally wanted to force you to submit. But since my junior sister died, I swore not to use poison in this life, so I used one.
I lied to you about anesthetics, but I didn’t expect you to see through it on the spot.”
Fang Ping could not help but sigh in his heart. Duan Xinheng's life could be described as one mistake that turned into eternal hatred. Just because of a moment of dissatisfaction, he fought a life-or-death duel with his junior brother, thus embarking on a path of no return. There is no doubt that he did something wrong back then.
.However, now that he has been tortured in his heart, his temperament has changed. Such a person is not suitable simply in terms of good or bad.
Fang Ping listened to Duan Xinheng's story about his past, and thoughts were spinning in his mind. After Duan Xinheng finished speaking, Fang Ping asked, "What are your plans after senior taught me martial arts?"
Duan Xinheng said, "I estimate that it will take you two or three years to learn this martial art. In these two or three years, I will concentrate on teaching you. After you complete the training, my wish will be fulfilled. Where to go, what to do,
It's no longer important. I only hope for one thing in my heart, that is, you can pass my martial arts skills back to Tianluomen in the future. And tell my master that I will always feel guilty for him and have no shame to go back to see him. I hope I
The martial arts skills created can play a small role in revitalizing the master's sect."
Fang Ping showed a thoughtful expression on his face and said, "Senior, it is not difficult to pass on the martial arts skills you created back to Tianluo Sect. You can rest assured. I will definitely take responsibility for this matter.
I can do it. In addition, I have a merciless request." At this point, Fang Ping paused and observed the expression on Duan Xinheng's face.
Duan Xinheng showed some interest on his face, "Tell me about it."
Fang Ping thought carefully and said, "My other identity is that I am the founder and actual controller of Wanxiang Hall. Now Wanxiang Hall has established a firm foothold in Mingquan City, with a daily income of fifty thousand taels. This income,
In a few days, it will double. Now Wanxiang Hall has a certain economic foundation, but it still lacks military strength. If you don't mind, senior, you can let Guiluo join Wanxiang Hall. I believe that with the economic strength of Wanxiang Hall, it will definitely
Can afford it.”
Duan Xinheng thought for a while and said, "I founded Guiluo with no intention of becoming a big force. I just wanted to make some money and accumulate cultivation resources for the people who would pass on my mantle. At the same time, I also used this organization to train my disciples. Now I am practicing
The elixir for perfecting the body tempering realm is enough. My successor has also been found. Whether I manage Guiluo or not is not a big deal to me. Since you intend to ask me to join the Wanxiang Hall, I will agree.
.”
Fang Ping was overjoyed and said, "This is the best." He originally thought that Duan Xinheng would not agree so easily, so he just asked casually. It turned out to be a success!
Duan Xinheng said, "In recent years, in addition to my few disciples, some killers have defected to me one after another and joined the Guiluo organization. Some of them may not have the intention to join the Wanxiang Hall. In the past few days, while I
I'll teach you kung fu while I finish handling things over there. Those who are willing to continue to follow me can come with me. Those who don't want to come will also be given reasonable compensation and proper placement."
Fang Ping nodded, "Of course. You don't have to rush into joining Wanxiang Hall. Seniors can feel free to make arrangements."
After the two drank the wine in their glasses, Duan Xinheng left in a calm mood. Fang Ping returned to Wanxiang Hall and rested peacefully.
In the early morning of the next day, Fang Ping went to Meng Mansion and brought back the dismissed guards, shop assistants, and servants, so that Wanxiang Hall could operate as usual. Then he sent people to Kaiyuan Mansion to report the situation in the early hours of this morning to reassure He Qingyuan.
At nearly noon, a carriage drove to the entrance of the Wanxiang Hall and stopped. The driver opened the curtain, and Fang Wenjun, who was in high spirits, got out of the carriage and entered the Wanxiang Hall.
Fang Ping got the news and came out. The father and son walked into the wing and sat down. Fang Wenjun couldn't help but be happy and said, "When I was kidnapped last night, I was extremely anxious. I didn't expect that early this morning, Duan Xinheng, the leader of Guiluo, came in person.
Come and relieve my acupuncture points, hold a banquet for me, and then order someone to send me back. He said that he has accepted you as his successor, is this true?"
Fang Ping nodded, "Yes. Duan Xinheng is a member of the Tianluo Sect. He has created a martial art that requires the Flying Flowers and Smoke and Rain Technique as the basis. In the early hours of this morning, he came to the Wanxiang Hall. I had a competition with him, and I won by luck.
He made a move. He cherished my talent and decided to accept me as his successor, help me cultivate to the perfection of the body tempering realm, and teach me his newly created martial arts."
Fang Wenjun showed a look of surprise on his face, "You actually defeated him in one move? How is it possible? This guy Xin Heng is obviously a master at the master level. I was captured in front of him with just one move, and I had no ability to resist.
.”
Fang Ping said, "I only competed with him using moves, regardless of strength. I was lucky enough to win with one move. In actual combat, it was just a matter of one move for him to capture me."
Fang Wenjun nodded, "This man's martial arts is really high. Fortunately, you have practiced Fei Hua Yan Yu Jue to an incomparable level and have been appreciated by him. Otherwise, we would have died at his hands this time."
Fang Wenjun paused and then said, "Our Wanxiang Hall's military force is still a little too weak. If you and I die unexpectedly, wouldn't the foundation we have worked so hard to create become easier for others? Now our business is getting bigger and bigger.
, this problem needs to be solved."
Fang Ping smiled proudly, "Dad, in addition to becoming Duan Xinheng's successor this time, he also promised me that in a few days, he would lead some Guiluo killers to join our Wanxiang Hall."
"What?" Fang Wenjun couldn't believe his ears, "Can you say it again?"
Fang Ping said word by word, "Duan Xinheng has agreed to let the Guiluo organization be merged into Wanxiang Hall and become the foundation of Wanxiang Hall's military force."
"Good boy, do you know any magic? Why do I feel like Duan Xin Heng is possessed by an evil spirit?" Fang Wenjun said cheerfully.
Fang Ping showed some sympathy on his face and said, "Senior Duan is a man with an unfortunate past. He has been living in the mistakes of the past and is unable to extricate himself. I hope I can learn his martial arts skills and fulfill his long-cherished wish for him.
, to make him feel better."
Fang Wenjun said, "Before I come back, he asked me to send you a message, asking you to go to Guiluo headquarters today. He said that he would let you live there for a while and lay the foundation of martial arts first."
Then, Fang Wenjun gave Fang Ping the address and access token of Guiluo headquarters.
Fang Ping memorized the address, took the identity token, returned to his room, packed his bags, and set off for Gui Luo's headquarters.
Gui Luo's headquarters is located in the north of Mingquan City. The north of Mingquan City is a mixed place. Killers, robbers, thieves, smugglers, fugitives and other unruly characters gather here, as well as the large empire established by these characters.
Large and small, complex forces. Almost every day, violent conflicts occur on the streets. New forces are born here, and old forces perish in the struggle.
None of the regular forces in Mingquan City had enough deterrence to safely open a store here. They simply withdrew from the area and established a safety zone around it to prevent these forces from expanding to the entire city. Safety Zone
The area inside will be completely handed over to those mixed forces, allowing them to fight, rob, and fight.
Fang Ping carried a bow and arrow, rode a horse, and immediately carried a luggage. He crossed the city wall and fortress, and entered the safe area with guards on duty day and night. He deliberately revealed his cultivation in the early stage of the Body Tempering Realm to shock those who were not discerning.
of thieves and robbers.
After walking for a while in the noisy, chaotic, low and dilapidated streets, Fang Ping came to the door of a dilapidated tavern. The tavern's signboard was crumbling, with one side already hanging down from the building, and the writing on it was blurred by wind and rain.
clear.
Fang Ping dismounted, tied the horse to a nearby horse post, and entered the tavern. The tavern was small and dark, with several dirty tables inside.
Several wealthy businessmen occupied a table in the corner and were drinking loudly. When they saw Fang Ping coming in, two or three of them cast unfriendly eyes on him and looked at him. One of them looked at him
, stuck firmly on his wallet.
Fang Ping sensed that these people were only in the early stages of the Body Tempering Realm, and he didn't care about them. They had a look of indifference on their faces, and their eyes were extremely indifferent. Those people looked at Fang Ping for a while, and they thought that Fang Ping was not easy to mess with, so they took it back.
eyes and continue to drink their wine.
A shop waiter whose clothes were stained with oil came over listlessly. Fang Ping took out a token carved with a skull and showed it to him. When the listless waiter saw the token, he had a look in his eyes.
As soon as the semen ejaculated, the whole person immediately became energetic.
He respectfully welcomed Fang Ping to the counter, reached out and turned a switch under the counter. A secret door immediately opened in the wall behind the counter, revealing a row of narrow, dark stairs extending downward.
"Dear guest, please go down the stairs and someone will receive you. I will take good care of your horses." The waiter bowed and made a gesture of invitation and said respectfully.
Fang Ping stepped up the stairs, walked underground for a while, turned a corner, and a hall appeared in front of him. The torches on the four walls illuminated the hall. Two guards guarding the hall immediately came up to him.
Fang Ping held up the token, and the two men led Fang Ping through the underground stone chamber, and finally came to a huge stone door.
A guard pressed the mechanism on the stone wall three times in succession. After a while, the stone door slowly opened, and two guards brought Fang Ping in.
Inside the stone door, there was a large room with tables and chairs inside, like a reception hall. A guard continued to enter another room connected to the room and walked all the way in. After a while, a guard dressed in black
