Yan Ming's practice of the Yijin Bone Forging Badge has reached the third level.
Recently, the power of his attacks has obviously doubled, and his body strength has also increased significantly.
With his current foundation, after he reaches the Grandmaster realm, he will be able to deal with most of the remaining warriors in the world, except for those great Grandmasters who do not take action easily.
It would be nice if there were a few more troublemaking thieves...
Unfortunately, in recent times, apart from dealing with those congratulating people, there have been fewer people making trouble in Qixia Town.
Finally, Yan Ming had a peaceful life.
There were several tables of foreign warriors nearby, chatting in low voices while eating and drinking.
From time to time, some eyes glanced at Yan Ming intentionally or unintentionally.
They thought that their actions were very covert and their voices were very low, but they couldn't hide it from Yan Ming, who had keen senses.
"Is this the newly-named Guanzhong Divine Catcher by the imperial court?"
"That's right. Seeing that he is so young, he can actually capture Yidianhong, Baoxiang, Tian Boguang and others one after another?"
"Who says it's not the case? But the title given by the imperial court is indeed a bit too much! It seems to be a bit flattering for some reason."
"Well, there are really many talented people in the public sect. When I came here, I heard that Qing Wu and Tie Shou, two of the four famous arresters, had successfully been promoted to the Grand Master level one after another."
"really?"
"Is there still a lie? It seems that our friends on the green forest road will not be able to sleep in the future."
"Didn't I say before that someone offered a reward of 100,000 taels of silver for the head of this great prisoner in Guanzhong? Maybe it was the people on the Green Forest Road who did it."
"I guess so. Gongmen's momentum has been too strong recently. I need to find a way to suppress it..."
Several people were whispering.
Yan Ming was surprised to hear this.
Tie Shou has been promoted to the Grandmaster level?
What a good guy, Yan Ming was a little surprised that he was one step ahead of himself.
It seems that next time I meet Tie Shou, I will prepare an extra greeting gift.
At the current point in time in Yanming's world, the four famous fishermen are still relatively young and have not long been famous, so there is still a lot of room for improvement.
For example, Iron Shou had just received the consistent magical skills taught by Zhuge Shenhou, and then he had broken through to a great realm.
According to Yan Ming's guess, it is only a matter of time before all four of them are promoted to the Grandmaster realm.
"Reward?"
Yan Ming paid more attention to this information.
Someone actually offered so much money to put a bounty on his own head?
One hundred thousand taels!
Even Yan Ming, who is not very keen on money, was quite surprised when he heard this number.
He even doubted whether he was worth the price.
One hundred thousand taels...
Yan Ming couldn't help but reached out and touched his head, strangely feeling like he was touching a valuable luxury product.
In the plot of the original drama, Green Forest Road placed a bounty on Xiao Guo's head, which was thirty thousand taels, so three major forces and five masters were dispatched...
Yan Ming suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Then I heard warriors at another table discussing other things.
"Did you hear about it? Since the last Jinpen Washing Hands Conference, the Hengshan Sect has started to have internal strife. The leader, Mr. Mo Da, has basically stopped doing things."
"The Hengshan sect has been unable to do anything since Mo Xiaobao's death. It has been forced to hold on to this arrogance, and it has only collapsed now."
"I heard that the Golden Pen Washing Ceremony was very lively. Liu Zhengfeng's family was wiped out, and the reputation of the leader of the Left Alliance was at its peak."
"The more powerful the leader of the Left Alliance is, the better it is. The Demon Cult has become too rampant recently, and someone must suppress them."
"I heard that after the Jinpen Washing Ceremony, many people from the Wuyue Sword Sect were ambushed by the Demon Cult on their way back. Master Hengshan Dingyi, Mr. Huashanyue, and the worst of all, Taoist Master Tiansong of the Taishan Sect, died.
Many disciples didn't say anything, and even had one of their arms removed."
Several people sighed.
"So recently, some people have started to mention the merger of the Five Sacred Mountains again, but I don't know what will happen in the end."
Yan Ming listened to their conversation secretly.
It seems that Master Dingyi did not reveal the matter, so everyone in the world now believes that they were ambushed by the Demon Cult.
"By the way, there is also Yu Canghai, the head of Qingcheng..."
As soon as he heard Yu Canghai's name, Yan Ming immediately cheered up.
"I heard that just after the Jinpen Washing Ceremony, Master Yu met Saibeiming Tuomufeng. I don't know what kind of grudge the two had, but they were inseparable from the moment they met."
"Mu Gaofeng behaves evilly. If Master Yu can deal with him, it will be considered a meritorious deed."
"Pull him down, do you think Master Yu is a good guy? I've never heard of the Fuzhou Weiyuan Escort Agency..."
Yan Ming withdrew his attention.
In just this short period of time, a lot of things happened in the world.
The Hengshan faction is in internal strife again!
It seems that the inertia of the original story line is very large, and it did not escape this ending in the end.
In the original play, the Hengshan sect was so internally strife that only three people were left. With no other option left, they came to find Mo Xiaobei as the head of Hengshan.
Thinking of this, Yan Ming glanced at Shopkeeper Tong who was sitting not far away.
Whatever came to mind, at that moment, three figures with swords appeared at the door of the inn.
"Excuse me, is Shopkeeper Tong here?"
"Here he is."
Tong Xiangyu stood up quickly, looked at the three people and asked.
"What do the three heroes want from you?"
"I'm going down to Hengshan, Lu Yiming, to pay my respects to shopkeeper Tong..."
"From the Hengshan sect?"
Tong Xiangyu was startled, but then gave in enthusiastically.
"It turns out they are from the Hengshan sect, please come in..."
The martial artists sitting in the lobby of the inn were still discussing the Hengshan Sect just now.
Now that I heard the noise, I couldn't help but turn my head and look over.
Shopkeeper Tong also found it inconvenient to speak here and said hurriedly.
"You three are tired, would you like to arrange a guest room..."
"No, let's just take a rest. Shopkeeper Tong, we're here for Junior Sister Mo Xiaobei."
The three of them lowered their voices.
"ah?"
Tong Xiangyu was also quite surprised.
"What are you looking for Xiaobei for?"
"Look for her to go back and take over as the head of the Hengshan Sect!"
"ah?"
Shopkeeper Tong looked even more stunned, thinking he had heard wrongly.
"How can a little girl like Xiaobei..."
Before Tong Xiangyu could finish speaking, Lu Yiming raised his head.
"It doesn't matter, this is the unanimous decision of our Hengshan faction. Apart from Xiaobei, there is no other candidate!"
Another handsome man with long hair next to him also spoke.
"Senior Brother Lu is right, only Xiaobei can take over as our leader."
Tong Xiangyu looked him up and down, and saw that this man was very handsome, and for a while he couldn't tell the difference between male and female.
"Who is this……"
"After Hengshan, I learned from Zhu Xiaoyun's courtesy."
This person is polite and polite.
"Is this my junior brother?"
Tong Xiangyu was surprised and almost thought he was a woman.
The third person was unhappy and interrupted in a very unkind tone.
"Junior brother, you are the only one who is polite, but none of us are polite?"
It was Zhou Dunru, a disciple of Hengshan.
When Zhu Xiaoyun heard this, her expression changed a little.
"Senior Brother Zhou, we are fighting each other hard!"
Zhou Dunru: "Hey, I think your expression is wrong. Do you also want to be the leader?"
Zhu Xiaoyun: "You, please don't spit on others!"
"Canglang!"
The two of them pulled out their long swords in unison. They had been doing well just now, but suddenly they were about to turn against each other and take action.
As a result, the other diners in Tongfu Inn couldn't sit still.
Especially those regular customers who come every day are very experienced in standing up and running out.
He led the warriors who didn't know what was going on and ran out one after another.
"Hey, I haven't paid the bill yet!"
Shopkeeper Tong couldn't stop him and he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Recently, Tongfu Inn has been impacted by Yihonglou, and its business was not very good to begin with.
Fortunately, Yan Ming invited Zhu Ting and a group of disciples from the Luban Divine Ax Sect to stay here. There were also people from the Wuyue Sword Sect who were passing by to stay here, so the business was maintained well.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these three living treasures from the Hengshan Sect arrived, they immediately suffered another loss.
"Who is causing trouble in the store?"
Bai Zhantang heard the noise and ran out of the backyard.
I happened to see this tense scene.
"Two junior brothers, stop!"
Zhu Xiaoyun and Zhou Dunru had just exchanged two moves, and Lu Yiming drew his sword and joined the battle group.
It looked like a blockade, but in fact the fight became more intense.
The three people's swords swished, and several benches around them fell to the side.
"Stop it, stop it, don't touch the century-old stairs!"
Shopkeeper Tong just shouted a few words.
Suddenly there was a ding!
A bit of cold light flashed across, and the three long swords separated with a sound.
The three of them all stumbled back and took two steps back.
He looked around in surprise.
It was Yan Ming who was sitting at the long table drinking jasmine tea who took action.
The Hengshan swordsmanship of the three of them was not weak, but Yan Ming did not move even while sitting, and easily separated the three of them with a snap of his fingers.
Just showing this hand will make you look extraordinary.
This shows that the strength gap between the two sides is very large.
"Within Qixia Town, private fighting with weapons is prohibited. Violators will be fined a silver..."
As soon as Yan Ming finished speaking, shopkeeper Tong hurried forward.
"Yan Captou, these three are all brothers of our Hengshan sect. Can you see if we can be accommodating..."
Yan Ming couldn't help but frown.
Shopkeeper Tong thought for a moment and knew that Yan Ming usually enforced the law very strictly, so he continued to change his words.
"Then let's do this. I'll pay the fine for them, and the punishment of the rod will be waived."
"It won't happen again."
Yan Ming nodded. He didn't really want Shopkeeper Tong's money, he just wanted to maintain order here.
In the original drama, the three disciples of the Hengshan Sect were all extremely physically strong and could fight for several hours at a time. If they were left alone, they might have caused a lot of damage.
[Stopped a private fight between Hengshan disciples in Qixia Town, gained +1000 cultivation points]
The three disciples of Hengshan looked at Yan Ming, who was wearing a soap-colored headhunter uniform, in surprise.
Just now they were just minding their own business, but now they remembered that there was a famous head catcher in the town of Seven Heroes recently.
It seems that this is the one in front of me.
The other party just flicked his finger, and none of the three of them saw clearly what method he used.
But the pure and fierce internal force contained in it made the fingers of the three people holding the sword still numb.
After seeing this strength, the three of them immediately did not dare to continue fighting, and looked at Yan Ming with hints of fear.
Hearing that shopkeeper Tong had paid the fine for them, he looked even more embarrassed.
Because outsiders don’t know it, but they know it in their own hearts. Now the three of them are short of money. What they fear most is that others will ask them to withdraw money.
The Hengshan faction has been in internal strife recently. They were temporarily ordered to come to Mo Xiaobei, and they didn't bring much travel expenses.
As a result, fights broke out frequently on the road and a lot of things were broken along the way. They claimed to be from a well-known family, but they couldn't lose face and acted like rogues, so they had to pay money.
Before we even got halfway there, all the money we had was spent.
Now when it comes to money, they all get confused.
"Three junior brothers, let's go to the guest room to talk."
"No, no, shopkeeper Tong, do you have a backyard? We can just rest there."
With that said, the three of them ran towards the backyard, fearing that they would be charged for staying in the guest room.
Yan Ming couldn't help but shake his head.
It seems that this plot has happened, and Mo Xiaobei is destined to take over as the leader of Hengshan.
But Yan Ming was also surprised, didn't the Hengshan sect still have Mr. Mo Da?
Yan Ming was curious and listened.
The faint sound of conversation in the backyard reached his ears.
After being intercepted by Yan Ming just now, the three of them were obviously much calmer and explained the matter again.
After Yan Ming listened, he understood.
Although the appearance is the same, the actual situation has changed.
At the Jinpen Washing Hands Conference some time ago, Zuo Lengchan took advantage of Liu Zhengfeng's incident to try his best to suppress the Hengshan Sect.
Although Mr. Mo Da is the leader of Hengshan, his personality is not particularly strong. He is worried about the strength of the Songshan sect and this matter is not justified, so he has not spoken.
But Zuo Lengchan is pushing the envelope and has been putting pressure on the Hengshan Sect as a breakthrough for the Five Mountains Sect.
Three capable generals, Fei Bin of the Great Songyang, Lehou of the Great Yinyang, and Lu Bai of the Crane, were sent to the Hengshan faction to put pressure on them and make use of the situation.
These three people are all at the Grand Master level and are the backbone of the Songshan Sect.
Although Mr. Mo Da is not weak in strength, once Liu Zhengfeng died, the Hengshan Sect was left with only him in the Grandmaster realm. He was unable to support himself alone and could no longer withstand the pressure.
In fact, before this, Mr. Mo Da was already old and had already thought of retiring.
Liu Zhengfeng is young and strong. If he had not had any dealings with the demon sect elders, he would be the best candidate to be the next head of Hengshan.
But now everything has changed. Liu Zhengfeng has finally confirmed his collusion with the Demon Cult. Even if he dies, the Hengshan Sect has suffered tremendous pressure from public opinion.
The Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demon Sect are sworn enemies. The two sides have been attacking each other for years, resulting in heavy casualties. The feud has long been difficult to resolve. The other three mountains do not dare to say too much for the Hengshan Sect on this matter.
Under such unfavorable circumstances, internal strife broke out within the Hengshan Sect, and some people killed each other for the position of leader.
Just when Mr. Mo Da was at a loss what to do, he suddenly heard Yue Buqun and Master Dingyi mention that they met Mo Xiaobei at Tongfu Inn when passing by Qixia Town.
They praised Mo Xiaobei for being very smart despite his young age, and he looked like a good prospect at first sight.
Mr. Mo Da immediately came up with an idea.
We can definitely let Mo Xiaobei take over as the head of Hengshan!
She is the biological sister of the previous head, Mo Xiaobao, so there is no problem with her identity and qualifications.
And because he is still a child, it is not easy to arouse jealousy. All disciples within the Hengshan Sect can accept it and avoid internal strife from worsening.
More importantly, you can be careless about some things - such as the current merger of the Five Sacred Mountains, which can avoid Zuo Lengchan's pressure.
The worst case scenario is that the leader is young and not sensible yet, so we can wait until he is an adult to talk about it.
Hence the current scene.
Mr. Mo Da sent Lu Yiming and three others to inform Mo Xiaobei.
"Good guy, it turns out there is such a complicated situation."
Yan Ming had a headache just listening to it.
Just as Mo Xiaobei came back from playing outside, he jumped into the inn.
"Sister-in-law... Hey, why are there so few people in the inn today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yiming and the three of them rushed out of the backyard.
"This must be Master Mo, Master Mo, you are finally back!"
The three people stepped forward and saluted in unison.
On the contrary, Mo Xiaobei was startled and thought that these three people came with bad intentions.
"Who are you and what are you doing? Don't come over here, my brother Yan is very powerful!"
With that said, Mo Xiaobei grabbed Yan Ming's sleeve.
