Chapter 43: Nuotuantuan Shakes Danxia with Might | Sơn Hà Tế

Even if Shen Tang and Du Gu Qing Li hadn’t studied things related to wind water and Kan Yu, they could still see at a glance that this kind of situation was absolutely not ordinary.
Lu Xing Zhou’s voice came from below: “This dragon tiger encircling ground situation, if one says it’s not special, no one would believe it. You said before that in the early years, Xia State was a state capital, with prosperous spiritual energy, and later the spiritual energy dissipated, downgrading it to a county… perhaps the reasons can all be traced back here.”
Lu Xing Zhou didn’t say that the alchemy furnace that caused his family’s extermination was excavated from the heart of the dragon tiger’s abdomen.
Picking up A Nuo was also here.
Even Yuan Mu Yu was specifically attracted here, by the so-called divination image guidance… but it seemed that at that time, his interest in Lu Xing Zhou was greater than his interest in continuing to explore other secrets. He seemed lazy to continue exploring and just left directly.
Lu Xing Zhou believed that kind of person wouldn’t shoot without a target and wouldn’t easily get the divination wrong. There must be a problem here, it’s just that he previously didn’t have the conditions to trace back, and now he does.
Shen Tang fell back into the wheelchair, her expression a little complex: “There are no higher peaks around here, generally this kind of overlook wouldn’t form. How did you think to look at the ground situation from the air?”
Lu Xing Zhou sighed: “You all know I am the original master. That year, the old Taoist priest here chanted about the dragon tiger encircling, yin and yang nine turns every day. I listened a lot. It’s just that I didn’t understand much when I was a child, thinking he was crazy from refining alchemy. In recent years, I’ve learned a lot about array knowledge and wind water Kan Yu. Revisiting the old place of course brings some other ideas.”
Du Gu Qing Li asked: “How did that old Taoist priest know?”
“He should have had an earlier inheritance, anyway, he was quite weak, it’s not too likely he figured it out himself.”
“Then…” Shen Tang hesitated a little: “Such an important matter, you just tell us so directly?”
“Ha?” Lu Xing Zhou laughed: “Aren’t we one group?”
Shen Tang looked at him for a while, then said, “Um,” a sound: “Yes.”
Lu Xing Zhou laughed: “Actually, because although I see there’s something special here, I haven’t found a way to unlock it. After all, my knowledge is insufficient, and I can’t eat alone. Your two inheritances are profound, perhaps you have more hope than me. Just don’t leave me out at that time, that would be good.”
Shen Tang couldn’t help but laugh: “How could that be?”
“Speaking of which, the Ho family, a generational high door, chose to build their residence here, taking the tiger-shaped circle as their back mountain. I also don’t believe there’s no reason. But I do believe that the Ho family of these two generations, already don’t know these things. Their attitude is completely unlike understanding…” Lu Xing Zhou pondered: “I don’t know if there are any classics or anything at the Ho residence. I will go flip through them these few days, and at the same time try to use array outlines. You also think about it.”
“Um…” Shen Tang said in a low voice: “You said before I have other power, and indeed I do. I’ve reconnected with them these two days. My own experience is insufficient, perhaps I can let them help.”
“Oh? Trustworthy?”
“My mother and uncle secretly cultivated some loyal dead soldiers for me these years. Before, things were sudden and I lost contact, but they’ve all reconnected recently. Absolutely trustworthy. Additionally, there are some strong people from the Tian Xing Sword Sect. They were just outside when the mountain gate was broken. These might not be reliable for doing secret matters, but as sect combat power, they are reliable.”
“Looks like the strength is quite full…”
Shen Tang didn’t elaborate on the specifics of her secret power, the concrete strength of each person, from bottom to top. She just said: “Compared to Xia State, it’s very strong.”
“Regarding the prefecture?”
“Also enough.”
Lu Xing Zhou: “Lend me Qing Li then. I see you truly can’t use her.”
A Nuo: “…”
Du Gu Qing Li said faintly: “They are still on the way. Wait until they arrive, and I achieve merit and retreat, then I will go out and experience.”
Lu Xing Zhou said: “Could it be you don’t want to explore the mystery here?”
Du Gu Qing Li hesitated for a while, not speaking.
Indeed, she really wanted to.
Besides, this is also an experience…
Shen Tang glared at her, feeling that this little white-haired girl would be sold off by Lu Xing Zhou one day.
While they were talking, the last ray of sunset fell into the horizon, and the sky was completely dark.
Inside the Dan Xia Help’s houses behind them, candles lit up continuously. A group of people squatting at someone else’s door and chatting had a bit of an awkward flavor. Only when they thought of running away did they remember that they were now their Help Master.
Shen Tang then laughed: “Since I’ve come, I’ll gather the help members and do a reform… Your prestige in their hearts is quite high, can you help me settle the situation?”
“…What prestige do I have in their hearts? The defeated dog who was driven away?”
“Within a force, the alchemist’s prestige is always the highest. Everyone has times when they need to be cured of a disease. Even if the people of the Tian Xing Sword Sect look at you unfavorably, because you are an alchemist, no one wants to offend you, they all pretend to be dumb. What’s more, the Dan Xia Help once prospered because of you. You might underestimate your status in their hearts…”
Lu Xing Zhou seemed to be laughing but not laughing: “Why do the people of the Tian Xing Sword Sect look at me unfavorably?”
Shen Tang’s face turned slightly red, and she turned her head away without speaking.
Lu Xing Zhou laughed: “I can help you convene a meeting of the Dan Xia Help, but if you want them to be obedient, I might not be enough. Another person is the expert.”
Shen Tang was stunned for a moment: “Who?”
Lu Xing Zhou stretched casually and touched A Nuo’s head: “Her.”
Shen Tang: “…”
“Oh right, send someone to notify Sheng Yuan Yao…”
“Let the new city master settle the situation?”
“No, let her come eat melons, otherwise I’m afraid she’ll scold me.”
Shen Tang didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
The Dan Xia Help’s spirit has been wilted recently. The Help Master died inexplicably at the Ho residence, said to be done by the Ho family guards, and they are now on the run. Even the Sixth Young Master Ho was pitted to death without a word. The Help Master died even more like he died for nothing. In these two days, rumors spread that the Young Help Master wanted to sell the help. The hearts of the Dan Xia Help people were flustered, and they all didn’t know what to do.
Although the things done by the Liu family father and daughter were hard to describe in a single word, from the nature of the help, the Dan Xia Help was a very typical righteous path. The main business was planting medicinal herbs and selling them. The help members’ main role was to escort and protect masters. In essence, it was the same as the Tian Xing Sword Sect escorting imperial merchant goods and masters. This was an orthodox help standing way that couldn’t be more orthodox. The main body of the help members were all good family children from Xia State.
Therefore, this was indeed a very high-quality resource, whether in terms of industry or manpower, very worth absorbing and digesting.
The sky had just turned dark, exactly when all the Dan Xia Help members returned to the mountain. Everyone heard Lu Xing Zhou transmit his voice throughout the mountain via a sound transmission symbol, telling everyone to gather at the large square at the mountain gate.
Lu Xing Zhou’s status in the hearts of the Dan Xia Help members was indeed quite high. This sound transmission seemed to give them backbone. Over a thousand help members came, not a single one missing.
Seeing the unparalleled beauty of the woman sitting on the main seat, the majority of the help members were confused, and all didn’t know who this was.
Lu Xing Zhou took the Help Master token handed over by Shen Tang and transmitted his voice throughout the field: “Presumably everyone knows the rumor that the Young Help Master is about to sell the Dan Xia Help. I’m here to explain. This is not a rumor. This evening, the Young Help Master has already formally sold the Dan Xia Help to the Sect Master Shen Tang of the Tian Xing Sword Sect.”
Tian Xing Sword Sect!
Many people’s hearts jumped.
The imperial decree regarding the remnants of the Emperor-supported Tian Xing Sword Sect had just reached here. They originally thought they were eating an unrelated important melon, but they didn’t expect this melon to smash them directly on the head!
Lu Xing Zhou continued: “Everyone knows that even if the Tian Xing Sword Sect declines, it still has the foundation of a third-grade sword sect. The cultivation methods may far exceed those of the Dan Xia Help. From now on, the name of the Dan Xia Help will be revoked and merged into the Tian Xing Sword Sect. Those who intend to join the sect will be treated equally according to the rules. If you have no intention, you can leave now, absolutely no one will stop you.”
“Lu Xing Zhou!” A curly-bearded big man jumped out from the front row: “The Young Help Master sold the industry, but she didn’t say she would remove the name of the Dan Xia Help! You are taking public revenge!”
Lu Xing Zhou said faintly: “The help has been sold. Whether the name is kept or not is not up to the new master? What, Vice Help Master Zhao has an opinion? If you have an opinion, go buy it from the Young Help Master. You are close to the water and have the advantage of the platform. Why wouldn’t the Young Help Master sell it to you? Is it because you don’t have money?”
Vice Help Master Zhao was stuck for a while. Buy what? His idea was to force Liu Yan Er to give up her position and take the Dan Xia Help for free! He had originally planned to secretly kill that girl, but because time was so short and he couldn’t do it too obviously, he temporarily held back. He didn’t expect that in just these few days, Liu Yan Er would actually sell the help!
He took a deep breath and said coldly: “The Dan Xia Help is not the personal industry of the Liu family. It was built by so many old brothers together. Not to mention her, Liu Yan Er, even if Liu Qing Cang were alive, he couldn’t completely say it counts!”
Beside him, A Nuo’s voice rang out: “Is that so? Liu Qing Cang went to your wife’s room last month, why didn’t you dare to speak?”
“Whoosh!” Sheng Yuan Yao instantly appeared beside A Nuo, her eyes flashing brightly: “I’m coming, I’m coming! Say more!”
Lu Xing Zhou almost couldn’t help laughing out loud. It was the first time he had seen Sheng Yuan Yao dressed as an ordinary girl. She had even put on light makeup. At a glance, she looked nothing like the leader in official uniform he saw every day. She looked like a little girl full of enthusiasm for eating melons.
Others also didn’t recognize Sheng Yuan Yao. Vice Help Master Zhao’s face turned green: “Little ghost, talking nonsense!”
A Nuo said: “That day at the door, didn’t I meet you? I asked you what was the sound inside the room, and you said your wife was singing opera.”
“Bastard!” Vice Help Master Zhao was so angry that he lost all reason. He flew up and struck A Nuo with a palm.
“Swish!” A sword light flashed, and a blood mark appeared on Vice Help Master Zhao’s chest. He staggered back.
Sitting in the wheelchair, Shen Tang retracted her sword as if nothing had happened: “If you dare to try to hurt someone again, the injury might not be just this much. Think carefully, cabinet under.”
Vice Help Master Zhao covered his injury, his face alternately red and white. The injury on his chest was still alright, Shen Tang had shown mercy, but with the spicy gazes of over a thousand help members behind him staring at his back, it felt like thorns were on his back. This injury was unbearable!
He finally stamped his foot, turned around, and flew away like he was running.
Lu Xing Zhou smiled, his eyes narrowed: “Is there anyone else who has an opinion?”
Another old man coughed twice: “Well, Vice Help Master Zhao was a bit violent, but what he said is not without reason. The Dan Xia Help was built by everyone together…”
Actually, that was nonsense. The Dan Xia Help was purely built by Liu Qing Cang with the support of the Ho family. It was basically a personal industry. The others were just subordinates who followed along. But now that the Liu family father and daughter were not here, no one could refute them saying this as high-level members.
A Nuo smiled, her eyes narrowed: “Grandpa Yan, you also don’t want everyone to know about you peeking at Sister Yan Er bathing, do you…”
The old man’s face changed dramatically, and he took a step back.
Sheng Yuan Yao’s eyes were bright and crystal clear.
Another middle-aged man coughed dryly: “A Nuo, you…”
Before he could finish speaking, A Nuo smiled, her eyes narrowed: “Hall Master Zhang, two months ago, you cheated Hall Master Wang and Executive Ye out of their Dan medicine quotas, saying it was the meaning of Help Master Liu. You actually intercepted them and sent them to Little Tao Hong at Yi Hong Building in the east of the city…”
Hall Master Zhang broke out in a cold sweat. Angry shouts came from behind: “Zhang! You motherfucker…”
“Whoosh!” Hall Master Zhang ran faster than Vice Help Master Zhao. He fled in a panic, not choosing a road but grabbing a path from the side to escape.
A Nuo’s gaze fell on the high-level members in the front row again, scanning over them.
Her gaze seemed to have poison. All the high-level members took a step back, their expressions nervous and strange: “We firmly support the new Sect Master!”
A Nuo supported her cheek: “Hall Master Wang, you…”
Hall Master Wang was greatly shocked: “I, Wang, firmly support all reforms by Sect Master Shen!”
“Even if you say so, I still want to remind you that your wife is now with her cousin while you are out…”
“Whoosh!” Hall Master Wang flashed like lightning, instantly disappearing.
The whole field was silent. Shen Tang and Du Gu Qing Li’s eyes were wide and their mouths were open.
They originally thought that merging the help would require killing to establish prestige. In just a few words from A Nuo… the group of heroes bowed their heads, and the dust settled.
Sheng Yuan Yao turned her head to look at A Nuo, her gaze like a weasel seeing a humanoid melon.
