Chapter 296

After saying this, he didn't stay, but strode away holding the cyan bead.

"Yes!"

Liu Qingyuan cupped his hands, glanced at Xu Yang, and walked to the valley entrance with several deacons: "Disciples who want to enter the valley for cultivation, come here to pay the contribution points."

The disciples who had watched a big show reacted and swarmed over.

"Xu Yang, I'll remember you!" Li Chuyang looked at Xu Yang coldly and strode toward the valley entrance.

Xu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly. Until Li Chuyang's back was swallowed by the crowd, he walked to Jiang Fan and cupped his hands: "Many thanks to Brother Jiang for helping me out of the siege!"

If it weren't for Jiang Fan taking action, if he had really fought with Li Chuyang, given Liu Qingyuan's attitude, he was afraid he would have been the one punished.

Jiang Fan shook his head: "If it weren't for me, this lunatic wouldn't have targeted you. My family and his family don't get along very well; you should be careful in the future."

Xu Yang nodded: "I will be careful."

He had wanted to ask about Li Chuyang's background, but there were too many people here, so it wasn't easy to ask.

Jiang Yan said: "Actually, you shouldn't have taken action. He was originally just curious about Xu Yang's technique. Now that there's such a fuss, he probably holds a grudge against Xu Yang."

Jiang Fan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this: "I didn't think that much at the time; I just thought he was coming for me and couldn't implicate Brother Xu."

"Brother Jiang, don't worry about it. If he had fought with me, it would have been a grudge anyway," Xu Yang said.

Li Chuyang was not the first to target his Golden Gang Technique. Unless he was willing to disclose the Golden Gang Technique, the result would be the same.

"It's just the name of a technique, why not say it out loud and offend Li Chuyang?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.

Xu Yang transmitted his voice: "The origin of this technique of mine is not legitimate, and I'm afraid of causing trouble."

Jiang Fan and Jiang Yan suddenly realized; no wonder Xu Yang didn't want to say it.

Given Xu Yang's family background, a technique with an illegitimate origin was probably obtained by robbing someone else.

Techniques with exotic gang qi were all top-tier techniques; it was impossible for them to have no origin.

"If Brother Xu trusts me, you can tell me the name of the technique, and I'll see if the trouble is big," Jiang Fan transmitted his voice.

Xu Yang pondered for a moment and transmitted his voice: "This technique is indeed the Golden Gang Technique, which I obtained from a flower-picking thief I killed."

He still trusted Jiang Fan somewhat. Jiang Fan had never disclosed his true cultivation base, which clearly showed he wasn't a big-mouthed person. Moreover, he also wanted to know if the Golden Gang Technique was troublesome.

If it was troublesome, he would have to try his best not to use the complete Golden Gang Technique in front of people in the future.

Jiang Fan's eyes showed a strange look: "Is this flower-picking thief called Jade Butterfly?"

Xu Yang nodded: "It is indeed this villain. It seems this technique is indeed troublesome."

Jiang Fan being able to say the name Jade Butterfly all at once clearly meant that this matter had caused quite a stir; otherwise, Jiang Fan wouldn't have known that the one he killed was Jade Butterfly for something that happened five or six years ago.

"It is somewhat troublesome."

Jiang Fan transmitted his voice: "This technique was originally the town-sect martial art of the Vajra Gate. Later, the Vajra Gate was destroyed, and the Golden Gang Technique was spread. Several major families in Yunzhou have the Golden Gang Technique.

The copy in Jade Butterfly's hands was stolen by his father, Flying Centipede, from the Qin family of Yunzhou. I don't know if the Qin family will trouble you for killing Jade Butterfly and cultivating the Golden Gang Technique.

But if this Jade Butterfly's father, Flying Centipede, finds out that it was you who killed Jade Butterfly, I'm afraid he won't let you go."

Jiang Fan's meaning was that the Qin family might also trouble him.

He didn't regret it, though. In his situation at the time, it was impossible not to cultivate the Golden Gang Technique. Along the way, he had also relied on the Golden Gang Technique to suppress many great enemies, and now the Golden Gang Technique was still one of his trump cards.

"Although the Qin family is a bit troublesome, if Brother Xu can ascend the dragon a second time and enter the Heavenly Strategy Academy, the Qin family shouldn't trouble you for this reason. The real trouble is this Flying Centipede."

This time, it was Jiang Yan who transmitted the voice.

The Qin family was a major family in Yunzhou, but no matter how big they were, they couldn't be bigger than the Heavenly Strategy Academy, and they wouldn't trouble a disciple of the Heavenly Strategy Academy just for the matter of Xu Yang cultivating the Golden Gang Technique.

After all, the Golden Gang Technique was not the Qin family's family technique; several other major families in Yunzhou also had the Golden Gang Technique. For Xu Yang, the trouble was this Flying Centipede.

"I ask Senior Brother Jiang to enlighten me. I don't know much about the world of martial arts, and this is the first time I've heard the name Flying Centipede," Xu Yang cupped his hands.

Jiang Yan said: "Flying Centipede is a famous river pirate in Yunzhou. He comes without a shadow and goes without a trace. No one knows his true identity, and no one knows his specific cultivation base. The major families of Yunzhou have been hunting this person for decades, and no one has ever seen his true face.

He is just like that Fierce Blade Swordsman; to the outside world, there is only one name. You should try your best not to expose the fact that you killed Jade Butterfly."

Xu Yang's heart sank. Being able to steal treasures from the hands of many major families in Yunzhou and never being caught, this Flying Centipede's cultivation must be terrifying, at the very least a Heavenly Origin expert, and possibly even higher.

Back then, Jade Butterfly's appearance in Qingyuan County had caused quite a stir. As long as it spread that he was cultivating the Golden Gang Technique, Flying Centipede would definitely be able to deduce that it was he who killed Jade Butterfly and obtained the Golden Gang Technique from him.

"Many thanks for the information!" Xu Yang cupped his hands.

The conversation between the three ended, and Zhang Yong, who had been standing on the side, stepped forward to express his thanks.

If it weren't for Xu Yang and Jiang Yan taking action just now, he would have been dead or seriously injured.

Jiang Yan and Xu Yang both shook their heads. They took action not only to save someone but also because they were worried that Zhang Yong would be implicated and make the matter bigger.

If Zhang Yong had been killed by the aftermath of the two fighting just now, the matter would have been really big.

The four walked toward the Sky Wind Valley, and Jiang Yan said: "The deeper you go into the Sky Wind Valley, the better the marrow cleansing effect, but if your physical body is not tempered enough and you force your way in, it will only be counterproductive. After you enter the valley, act according to your ability, or move forward slowly."

Xu Yang and Zhang Yong nodded.

Arriving at the entrance, they found that many people had already entered the Sky Wind Valley and started cultivating.

Xu Yang's gaze swept over and saw many familiar figures; Yun Heng, Liu Xiao, Cao Jin, and these people had already sat down and started cultivating.

However, because their cultivation was not strong, they were all at the entrance of the valley. The middle position was basically only reachable by those with minor success in Marrow Cleansing.

"As expected of Li Chuyang, only at minor success of Marrow Cleansing, and he can actually walk so far."

"The Three Yin Silver Palace Profound Gang True Art is not just for cultivating gang qi; it also has a very strong tempering effect on the physical body."

They saw Li Chuyang walking leisurely and sitting down among a group of old disciples who had already cleansed their marrow.

Not far from him were Lu Ren, Han Feng, and these people, all competing with each other and slowly moving forward.

The Sky Wind Valley was both a place for cultivation and a place to test the physical body. The further one went, the better the physical body was tempered.

After Xu Yang and the three showed their waist tokens to prove they were newly entered disciples, they were soon allowed to enter the valley for a month of cultivation.

Jiang Yan went to line up honestly, exchanging contribution points for cultivation time.

Stepping into the Sky Wind Valley, Xu Yang only felt a pressure surging from all directions, and a strange force penetrated into his limbs and bones, entering his bone marrow. In an instant, it was as if thousands of ants were biting on his body.

Of course, relative to his physical body, this bit of pressure at the entrance didn't count for much. He tried to operate the Mountain-Bearing Bear Scripture and found that the effect of tendon-changing and marrow-cleansing had improved quite a bit, like taking an elixir, but it wasn't as immediate as taking an elixir.

Beside him, Zhang Yong only advanced three steps before his whole body trembled, unable to continue moving forward, and he hurriedly sat down to start cultivating.

"Brother Xu, let's see the wonders of this Sky Wind Valley together," Jiang Fan said.

The two didn't care about Zhang Yong and continued to stride forward.

Zhang Yong hadn't cleansed his marrow yet, and being able to walk three steps inside was already not bad. There were several people like him who hadn't cleansed their marrow yet, and they stopped after only advancing one step.

If he was lucky, he might be able to use this month in the Sky Wind Valley to break through to Marrow Cleansing.

"I must cleanse my marrow!" Zhang Yong roared in his heart.

He had long been holding his breath. Previously, he was almost shaken to death by the aftermath of Jiang Fan and Li Chuyang's fight, which was simply unacceptable to him, who had always been proud.

You know, his talent used to be even above Xu Yang's, but now he had to be saved by Xu Yang.

"How far can Xu Yang go?"

"How far can Jiang Fan, the number one of the Top Ten, go?"

In the valley, many people looked at Xu Yang and Jiang Fan curiously. Jiang Fan was the number one of the Top Ten, so everyone was naturally curious.

Although Xu Yang was not on the Top Ten list, because of Li Chuyang's matter earlier, many old disciples also knew him.

Someone who could make Li Chuyang take action would definitely not be much worse.

"Hiss, he has surpassed Han Feng and Lu Ren and the others."

They saw Xu Yang and Jiang Fan walking slowly forward, soon surpassing Lu Ren, Han Feng, and these people, surpassing several people from his own batch who were on the Top Ten list, and it looked like they could continue to walk forward.

"Xu Yang, don't force yourself for the sake of face and hurt your foundation; there will be a time when you regret it!" Xiong Kun roared in a low voice.

He was the tenth of the Top Ten, but Xu Yang almost made the list. Now that Xu Yang was deeper than him, didn't that prove he was inferior to Xu Yang?

He could also go deeper, but if he did that, it would be easy to be hurt by the strange force of the Sky Wind Valley, which would be counterproductive.

He thought Xu Yang was forcing himself, wanting to snatch his position as the tenth of the Top Ten.

"My physical body is tempered quite well!"

Xu Yang smiled and continued to walk forward with Jiang Fan, soon sitting down in the echelon of martial artists with minor success in Marrow Cleansing.

He could actually go much deeper, but his surface cultivation was only at the beginning of Marrow Cleansing. Being able to be in the same position as those with minor success in Marrow Cleansing was already very shocking, and it would be hard to explain if he went deeper.

"He actually reached the position that only martial artists with minor success in Marrow Cleansing can reach. How can his physical body be so strong?" Someone showed an expression of disbelief.

Beginning of Marrow Cleansing, and the physical body is comparable to an ordinary martial artist with minor success in Marrow Cleansing?

"What Xu Yang is cultivating should be the Heavenly Gang Body-Forging Technique or the Indestructible Vajra Body." Someone made a judgment.

Given Xu Yang's age, it was impossible for him to cultivate the Golden Gang Technique, which was a slow-grinding effort, to this point at this age. Only the Heavenly Gang Body-Forging Technique or the Indestructible Vajra Body could progress so quickly.

"Heavenly Gang Body-Forging Technique, Indestructible Vajra Body, if I can obtain them, I might not be unable to ascend the dragon a second time in three years." Someone started to have crooked thoughts.

Li Chuyang looked at Xu Yang coldly without speaking.
