Chapter 351

Tonight, the moonlight is bright.

By the moonlight, the youth carelessly flips through this copy of "Soul-Burning Heart-Clearing Art."

With a major event ahead, the youth cannot waste his mental energy at this time; he hasn't studied it in detail, nor has he learned it. Right now, he is simply being carried on Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's back during their journey, and since he is idle, he might as well gain a preliminary understanding.

Below the book title on the first page, there is a note.

——Gifted by Ming Ming Yuwan.

This not only indicates whose cultivation art it is, but also points out the poisoning target Zhao Yi has chosen for him.

That night, after resolving the four people from the Four Profound Sect, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi drank tea on the roof of the Yao Ji Inn, where Zhao Yi gave the youth a brief report on the situation and forces over there.

Ming Ming Yuwan is from the Ming family of the Long Wang, and she has a perverse personality.

Unlike that former river-walker of the Yu family, Yu Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Miaomiao, who was stupid in a way where her words and actions were consistent.

Ming Ming Yuwan, according to Zhao Yi's description, has a logical behavior pattern that is very calm, and her choices when encountering matters are very normal, but in daily interactions, her emotions often spiral out of control.

Someone who has experienced so many storms on the river cannot be that naive, and coupled with her background in the Long Wang's court, having been taught rules and etiquette since childhood, how could she possibly be so poor at cultivating her aura?

Thinking of this, the youth looks up at Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan, who is galloping ahead.

Well, it's not impossible.

Lowering his head again, the youth intends to focus his attention on the cultivation art itself.

Strictly speaking, this is a secret art, and the art lives up to its name.

Soul-burning truly means burning the soul, but not like burning a haystack where it's all lit at once; rather, it is similar to using red-hot tongs to "clamp off" the excess parts.

However, while one has heard of haircuts and manicures, one has truly never heard of soul-trimming.

And since the soul is something that, with the slightest mistake, can cause one to fall into eternal damnation, why would the Ming family go to such lengths to create this kind of secret art?

Some people get bone spurs; could it be that the people of the Ming family have developed soul spurs?

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan is not joking; he feels that this might truly be the truth in some sense.

Because this secret art is divided into a total of thirteen stages, and the degree of soul-trimming deepens step by step; even if one doesn't miss a single step and has astonishing talent, to cultivate this secret art to the very top level in one go, one would have to trim it at least thirteen times.

Thirteen trimmings—how much soul material would that drop?

In all likelihood, there is some flaw in the cultivation of the Ming family's main art, forcing them to research this secret art to perform self-correction and remediation.

If a main art with flaws can still be used to this day, and the Ming family can also develop into a Long Wang's court, it shows that this so-called flaw... might also be a kind of advantage.

However, for the current Zhao Yi, this secret art has a very good auxiliary effect; his previous guess was correct, Zhao Yi must have figured out the "lighting the sky lantern" technique of his ancestor.

A person's threshold only gets higher and higher; it seems that simply tearing human skin for fun can no longer satisfy the current Zhao Yi, and he intends to tear and roast souls.

But Zhao Yi is also afraid that if he isn't careful, he will scatter his own soul, so he handed this secret art to him early; one reason is to trade for other things with him, and the second is that he hopes he will check it for him, so he doesn't get left with a trap inside.

Putting the book away, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan looks ahead; under the night sky, a towering ridge of yellow earth stretches out—this is a corner of Mangshan.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin raises his hand, signaling everyone to slow down; he has been tracking the marks left by Zhao Yi to control the distance between both sides, and the people of that alliance have slowed their speed from here.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "Brother Bin, is this Mangshan?"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Yes."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "Why have so many emperors and generals throughout history chosen to be buried here?"

The peaks of North Mangshan have little idle soil; they are all old graves of Luoyang people.

This refers to the scene of people crowding together under this North Mangshan.

While passing by earlier, he saw many raised burial mounds that were several stories high.

Any one of them, if moved to Nantong and excavated and protected, could serve as a tourist calling card for Nantong.

But here, the actual function of these burial mounds seems to be just for local farmers to conveniently mark and divide their responsibility fields.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "First, for a long time in ancient times, Luoyang was considered the center of the world;

Second, Mangshan connects to the Qinling Mountains' remaining veins and can be seen as the location of the dragon's head. The Tiger Cage and Xiao Mountain to the east can be seen as the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, the Yi Gate to the south as the Vermilion Bird, and the Yellow River lying to the north as the Black Tortoise; with the four symbols guarding it, it is naturally very auspicious.

Third, the geological conditions of Mangshan are very suitable for ancient tomb engineering construction."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "So good?"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Yes."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "No wonder the Yu family would establish their ancestral home here."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin turns around, looks at Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan on Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's back, and asks: "Brother Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan, should we rest here..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's gaze freezes.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You touches his golden mace, and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng lets go, letting Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan slide off his back.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin looks to the west: "There is..."

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan disappears from where she was.

When she appears from the west, a black shadow is thrown out and crashes in front of the crowd.

After the person lands, he subconsciously wants to spring up, but as soon as he gets up, with a "bang," his limbs and Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face are pressed tightly against the ground.

This is the first time Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan has taken action in earnest under everyone's eyes.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin purses his lips; it can be said that if it weren't for Brother Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan's red thread kneading them into a whole, in terms of personal reaction speed and efficiency in taking action, Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan completely crushes all of them.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin, interrogate him."

"Yes."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin walks toward the black shadow; after a distance, he nods to Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan, signaling that she can withdraw the domain.

He doesn't want to foolishly walk straight in and then, influenced by the domain, end up bowing to the black shadow like a husband and wife.

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan raises her hand, her index finger lifts upward, and the domain is undone.

The black shadow's body suddenly vibrates, and an afterimage appears instantly, about to flee.

The speed is so fast that it exceeds Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's original estimate; this thing, how is it shaking like a dragonfly's wing? He didn't even have time to use his five-sense intimidation, let alone aim.

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan pulls her index finger downward.

"Bang!"

The black shadow is prostrate again.

"Haha." Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin gives a sheepish laugh.

It's mainly because Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan grabbed the black shadow like a chick, and he didn't expect this black shadow to be so unusual.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin squats down, goes straight to the five senses, and begins "torture."

Soon, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin stands up again and reports to Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan:

"Brother Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan, he is a member of the Yu family, specifically here to find us."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan says to Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "Look at his true form."

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan flicks her index finger left and right.

"Clatter!"

The clothes on the black shadow's body tear, revealing the body of a normal male, but he has something on top of his head.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "It really is a dragonfly?"

It is not an ordinary enlarged dragonfly; its wings on both sides are not long, but very wide and thin; the tail is very short and sharp, piercing into the back of the man's neck like a barb.

The man's eyes turn white, he raises his head, and says:

"My lords, this humble one is Dragonfly Three, acting on the old lady's decree to come and receive you all into the Yu family!"

"Blackening" his own identity to enter the Yu family in advance was Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's original plan; he had even taken the initiative to find people from the "Yu family" to let them discover him so they would take him in, but who knew he would find actual Yu family members.

Delaying in the village for several days was not a loss; after all, he learned the truth about the Yu family today, but the original plan to enter the Yu family in advance had to be aborted, because at this moment, the elders of so many families had already broken into the Yu family.

Even General Huang, who held a high and powerful position in the Yu family, had already been beheaded.

But who could have expected that when walking here, he would still encounter someone from the Yu family coming to meet them.

Dragonfly Three should have been sent out long ago, but because everyone had been in the village, he couldn't find anyone, and because those family sect elders must have set up formations to prevent the leakage of aura and movement when they attacked the Yu family, Dragonfly Three still didn't know that the Yu family's gates had long been breached; he was still dutifully completing his mission.

Actually, Dragonfly Three's target was Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan, mainly because that day in the museum, Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan's performance was the most eye-catching, and she was clearly at odds with that faction on the other side; both sides were truly killing, definitely not acting.

Among the survivors who escaped after the great formation collapsed that day in the museum, there were eyes of the Yu family, who went back and reported this matter to the old lady.

The old lady clearly ordered that such a person should be received into the Yu family early and treated with great hospitality.

Of course, it was also in the hope of keeping her in the Yu family to provide an extra bit of help to deal with the upcoming storms.

Dragonfly Three mentioned that old lady, who in Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's view, should be Yu Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng Miaomiao's cat grandma.

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan's gaze falls on the tail barb that Dragonfly Three has pierced into the man's neck.

Even though that group in the museum wanted to kill her, she would never collude with the Yu family because of it; seeing this scene, she feels disgusted.

Since that side has already broken in, there's no need to keep this fat dragonfly, right?

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan's fingertips slowly retract; she is just waiting for a signal from the youth, and she can crush this guy completely.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Besides us, have you received anyone else?"

Dragonfly Three: "Reporting to my lord, we have also received many other lords; if we hadn't finally found you all tonight, we would have brought all the lords into our Yu family ancestral home tomorrow."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Then where are they now?"

Dragonfly Three: "The other lords are at a farm not far from here at this moment."

A Long Wang's Order from the Yu family attracted a large number of martial arts figures to hunt down Zhao Yi, but they were turned around by Zhao Yi and the others as merit-gaining mosquito legs, constantly setting traps to lure them over and kill them in return.

From Jiujiang to Luoyang, who knows how many martial arts figures have died, but this is nothing to regret, because the content of the Yu family's Long Wang's Order is truly not presentable; the martial arts figures who can be mobilized and attracted by it are actually also for the Yu family's rewards—people die for wealth and birds die for food; if you want to kill others to claim a reward, you must have the awareness of being killed by others.

But there are still survivors after all, and it sounds like there are quite a few.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan has no interest in collecting mosquito legs; he is thinking of another possibility.

"When you receive us to the Yu family ancestral home, do you use the main gate?"
