Human Martial Venerable: Starting from the Synthesis Technique

Chapter 71 Inside Story

Chapter 71 Inside Story

The night passed slowly.

The candle burned out, and the dim morning light shone through the window.

"Master, do you mean that the Embroidered Robe Division is fighting with the Demon God Palace in Qingzhou?"

Inside the room, Master Huanglong took a sip of tea.

He reached out to pour, but the three pots of coarse tea were already empty.

Feng Xiu seemed to be deep in thought. "So, the White Fox Envoy, Li Xuanshuang, must head north to provide support?"

"It can't be said that a fight has broken out; it's just that both sides are currently exercising restraint, not only the Demon God Palace but also other demonic forces."

.

"Are there other forces?" Feng Xiu frowned.

Yunzhou borders Qingzhou, but is separated by a mountain range.

Even so, Yunzhou and Qingzhou still have commercial dealings, with the Feng family being one of the most prominent clans in Qingyan Prefecture.

However, there has never been any news of chaos in Qingzhou or the appearance of demons.

"Alas, Young Master Feng, this is a long story." Master Huanglong sighed softly on his wrinkled face.

"Does Young Master Feng know of the Dragon Demon General of the Yuan Kingdom in the previous dynasty?" He then straightened his expression.

His words took a slight turn, and Feng Xiu shook his head.

"I don't know, but I've heard of the deeds of the Demon-Suppressing General."

Master Huanglong smiled; this very statement is an example.

Since Feng Xiu had heard of the Demon-Suppressing General, it was easy for him to explain and understand.

"That's not important. Whether it's the Dragon Demon General or the Demon Suppressing General, they..."

"They're not even human!"

Feng Xiu was somewhat shocked.

He was naturally familiar with the history of the former Yuan Dynasty, which had given rise to many brilliant cultural achievements.

Even the present-day Liang Kingdom essentially inherited the Yuan system, and many things bear the cultural imprint of the Yuan Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty was so vast that it surpassed even the Mongol Empire of the previous era.

Is the Demon-Suppressing General not human?

Could a human being have reached the center of power in the Yuan Dynasty and even have the Yuan emperor commission a statue and inscription for him?

"Within the Yuan Kingdom, humans and the demons of the Black Abyss lived in harmony, and the demons all identified themselves as Yuan people. However, this changed after the Yuan Kingdom was destroyed."

The demons began fighting amongst themselves, resulting in numerous factions.

Master Huanglong explained.

"That Demon God Palace?"

"The Demon God Palace wants to divide the land into provinces, establish its own clan in Qingzhou, and then incorporate it into the human race."

"Is that so?"

Huanglong Zhenren's words seemed to open up a new world for Feng Xiu, which made him feel very surprised.

"Young Master Feng, I only know a little more than others. These things are not secrets. Otherwise, with my strength, I wouldn't have been able to persuade the last White Fox Envoy."

"If it hadn't refused to lend me even water, the old Taoist wouldn't have suffered such a loss of cultivation."

The old man gave a wry smile, his words revealing that his appearance last night was not a coincidence.

"The White Fox Envoy?" Feng Xiu exclaimed in astonishment.

The speaker also emphasized the pronunciation of the word "fox".

Master Huanglong nodded.

It's a white fox, not a white tiger, and certainly not some kind of dragon.

Feng Xiu chuckled helplessly. In his previous deductions and arguments, he had always thought that the hypothetical enemy was a dragon.

After all, this is in line with the geographical environment of Yudaitang Reservoir, but it was unexpected that it would be a white fox.

Moreover, judging from what Master Huanglong said, the rainmaking in the past should actually have been done by borrowing water from the ponds and reservoirs.

"Young Master Feng need not worry. The White Fox Envoy has already emerged from seclusion, and there will be no major problems with the pond."

A question flashed through Feng Xiu's mind.

Continuing along the broken line of thought, Li Xuanshuang, the White Fox Envoy, also had the Demon God Palace confronting the Embroidered Robe Division.

The reason they didn't personally intervene was because they didn't consider the possibility of rashly damaging the reservoir.

Otherwise, if the reservoir is destroyed, there will be widespread death and destruction, and the situation between the two sides will become tense instantly.

Feng Xiu fell into deep thought.

"Then, Master, are these Black Abyss demons you mentioned ranked by their cultivation levels?" he then asked.

Even martial artists have clear levels of understanding to measure each other's strength, so how could demons not have them?

Unexpectedly, Feng Xiu had just thought of this.

But Master Huanglong shook his head, "What distinction is there between realms? Demons are only distinguished by strength. We'll only know how to tell the difference after we've fought them."

.

He pondered for a moment, then hesitated, "However, I have heard that there is a method for distinguishing demons within the Black Abyss, based on their demonic aura?"

"I see."

Feng Xiu didn't think too much about it and took a deep breath.

Carefully considering the information revealed by Master Huanglong, he always felt a sense of absurdity that was hard to put into words.

Are monsters...seeking...identity with humans?

They even want to gain recognition from the Liang Kingdom?

Knock knock knock~

Just as Feng Xiu was lost in thought, a knock sounded on the door.

"Young Master, breakfast is ready." Wu Tie's respectful voice came from outside the door.

"Okay, coming right away."

Feng Xiu still wanted to ask something, but when he looked up and saw Huang Jiaojiao sleeping soundly on the table, he had no choice but to give up.

"Jiaojiao, wake up, it's time to eat."

The two talked all night. Unlike Feng Xiu, Huanglong Zhenren was not energetic. After forcing himself to stay awake, he got up and shook the girl.

"Dinner's ready!"

Huang Jiaojiao opened her eyes, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and mumbled a few words in her sleep.

Then.

Feng Xiu ordered someone to fetch a basin of clean water, and the three of them washed their faces in turn.

The guards also brought out the food.

The meal consisted of four standard dishes and a soup. Jiaojiao's eyes lit up as she looked at the braised pork on the plate.

The little hand picked up the chopsticks, about to grab something, but Huanglong Zhenren calmly blocked it with the chopsticks.

He reached out and picked up a piece of green vegetable, placing it in her bowl.

"Eat more green vegetables."

"No way! I'm still growing, what's wrong with eating more meat?" Huang Jiaojiao retorted, her dark eyes filled with resistance.

"You dare to say that? I always tell you to practice more, but you don't listen. You haven't even reached the first level of Yuan Magnetic Technique. How dare you eat meat?"

Master Huanglong glared at her.

"Oh~"

Huang Jiaojiao was a little sullen, and kept her head down as she picked at her vegetables.

"Anyway, with you and Brother Feng protecting me, I don't want to practice that."

Huang Jiaojiao shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth and muttered something under her breath.

"You still dare to talk back!" Master Huanglong glared at her angrily.

They were just children and had no idea how powerful their extraordinary skills were in the martial arts world.

With the old immortal personally imparting his teachings, Feng Xiu found it somewhat amusing to see Jiao Jiao's resistance to this scene.

But considering that this was a matter between the grandfather and grandson, they didn't say anything.

I've had breakfast.

Feng Xiu then had Wu Tie prepare two more carriages to carry Su Wantang, and Feng Shouzhuo hurried towards the city.

They brought Huanglong Zhenren, Jiaojiao, and Su Wantang back to the Feng residence.

Half an hour later.

In front of the mansion.

Zheng Bo and Han Che were waiting at the gate of the mansion.

Seeing Feng Shouzhou carefully helping a frail woman out of the car, their eyes widened, as if they had noticed something amiss.

Feng Xiu first sent someone to settle Huanglong Zhenren and his grandson.

However, after finding a room, Master Huanglong said that he needed to return to the Taoist temple to prepare materials for cultivating the Yuan Magnetic Technique.

After leaving Huang Jiaojiao alone at the Feng residence, he set off alone.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Xiu summoned Zheng Bo and Han Che to the training room.

He then recounted the events of the previous night in detail.

"Soul splitting technique, there are two Su Wantangs?" Uncle Zheng looked somewhat suspicious.

"Young Master, is it really appropriate to let her stay? If Li Xuanshuang comes looking for us, things might get complicated."

Han Che also had doubts about Feng Xiu's actions.

"It's alright, Li Xuanshuang probably won't come again," Feng Xiu replied.

Like Su Wantang, Huanglong Zhenren was also scheduled to stay at the mansion for a period of time in Feng Xiu's plan.

With Master Huanglong and his Iron Hat Technique, we can have more security.

"As long as the water in the ponds and reservoirs can be turned on normally, that's enough," Feng Xiu said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the two gradually calmed down and put their worries aside.

Just hearing Feng Xiu's words, one could sense the danger of last night. Now that Li Xuanshuang has gone to Qingzhou...

Nothing major is expected to happen in the short term.

"Furthermore, Uncle Zheng, the matter between Shouzhuo and Su Wantang should be kept as secret as possible. Just tell the outside world that Shouzhuo has no woman he likes."

"From Lao Nu Province."

After Feng Xiu finished speaking, he thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Zheng, what's the status of the Pearl Light Merchant Guild's purchase of martial arts manuals?"

"Young Master, this old servant was just about to tell you, it's all taken care of."

"There are only ten martial arts techniques, but they are all top-notch power techniques, and they cost a lot of money," Uncle Zheng said with a smile.

"Ten gates, that's enough." Feng Xiu nodded.

Martial arts are the foundation of a cultivator's life; it doesn't mean that he would give up something just because he desires to obtain the Iron Hat Technique of Huanglong Zhenren.

On the contrary, they believe there is still room for improvement in martial arts.

Feng Xiu firmly believes that martial arts will not let him down!

Combining unorthodox techniques with martial arts might just be a viable strategy for high-level gameplay!
