The sun had just risen in the Henglong Restaurant.
Several burly men hurriedly carried a few corpses and ran to the inner courtyard.
"Master Tie, shopkeeper!!"
Hearing the noise from outside, a skinny man with a pointy mouth and monkey-like cheeks hurriedly got up from the body of a beautiful woman with a plump figure. The beautiful woman's limbs were tied up, and her body was covered with bruises from torture.
In the corner of the room, a young man glared at the monkey-like man with a ferocious face.
Unfortunately, he was also tied up so tightly that he couldn't even move a muscle.
The man put on his clothes and glanced at the beautiful woman's body wantonly. Then, he jokingly walked to the man's side and patted his face with a smile. "Your wife tastes good. Thank you for your hospitality today!"
Ah ah ah ah!!
The young man whose face was patted twisted his body crazily, trying to attack the man. However, although the monkey-like man was thin and small, he looked strong and powerful. He seemed to be annoyed by the young man. He raised his hand and a purple Battle Qi turned into a sharp sword and directly cut off the man's arm.
The monkey-like man sneered and said, "I'm giving you face by sleeping with your wife. Don't be so shameless. If you continue to make trouble, I'll cut your head off too!"
The man whose arm was cut off suddenly showed a look of horror in his eyes. He twisted his body and stepped back. His crotch was already wet. Apparently, he was so scared that he peed.
As soon as the monkey-like man opened the door, a burly man outside ran to him and shouted, "Master Tie, something bad happened!"
The man called Master Tie by the burly man was the manager of the Han Tang Underground Black Market, Tie Xinlong, also known as the Poisonous Iron Hand!
"Why are you in such a panic? Hurry up and tell me what happened!" Tie Xinlong frowned.
"Master Tie, Tan Danian and the others are all dead. Their bodies were found in Carp Alley this morning," said the burly man.
"Where are the bodies?
Let me have a look! "
Several burly men carried a few stiff and dark corpses and placed them in the courtyard. Tie Xinlong checked them one by one and finally squatted down at the corpse with a big hole in the chest.
He looked at the wound in shock and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a tyrannical cultivation method in this world. It's really amazing!
For Tang Yong to be able to kill a fifth-order demonic beast with the strength of a Martial Warrior, it seems that this cultivation technique must be above the Profound Rank. It might even be a Heaven Rank cultivation technique! "
After checking the wound, Tie Xinlong was even more eager to get that cultivation method. He had been stuck at the Ninth Stage Martial Master for many years because he lacked a high-grade cultivation method. In the Han Tang Dynasty, all the cultivation methods that had entered the Ninth Stage were in the hands of the families, the royal family, and the sects. A rogue cultivator like him would never be able to get one in his lifetime.
Even if he had worked for those families for many years, it was still the same.
Therefore, when Tie Xinlong heard that Tang Yong had picked up a magical Cultivation Method, he was tempted. He wanted to send Tan Danian to steal the Cultivation Method, but he failed.
"Master Tie, the Tang Residence has sent someone to deliver a letter!"
A brawny man ran in with a secret letter. Tie Xinlong took the secret letter and tore open the seal. He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"The Heavens are really helping me!
The First Madam and the Second Madam actually jointly offered 500,000 taels of silver to assassinate Tang Yong!
Well, I can take the opportunity to steal his secret book. "
"Master Tie, is there anything else we can do?"
"No, I may not be at home these days. You just act according to the circumstances."
"Then the two people in the room …"
Tie Xinlong smiled evilly and said, "Drag the man out and kill him. Leave the woman for two more days. I haven't had enough yet!"
"Yes, Master Tie!"
The night sky gradually brightened and the bright stars gradually dimmed. After a while, at the intersection of heaven and earth in the distance, a red sun slowly rose from the horizon.
The golden light spread over the bluestone path and shone on the window of a remote courtyard in the Tang Residence.
Suddenly, the sunlight woke someone up and a scream broke the silence of the morning.
"Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Why did I get up so late?
The young master is going to meet the Emperor today! "
Xiao Wuzi hurriedly got up from the bed, put on her clothes, and ran out barefoot.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a figure sitting cross-legged in the small courtyard. His whole body was shining with a hazy halo, like a dream. Some small sparrows and insects were lying quietly beside him, bathed in the halo and intoxicated.
Xiao Wuzi was stunned when she saw this scene. She actually had a feeling that she didn't want to destroy this beautiful scene.
However, it was almost too late. The young master hadn't eaten and changed his clothes yet!
"Young master, young master, wake up!
You have to meet the Emperor today. If you don't change your clothes, it will be too late! "Finally, Xiao Wuzi went to Tang Yong and whispered.
Hearing the voice, Tang Yong suddenly opened his eyes. A black light flashed in his pupils.
As soon as Tang Yong opened his eyes, the light on his body suddenly disappeared, and the small animals around him reluctantly left.
Tang Yong looked at Xiao Wuzi up and down and couldn't help laughing, "Not bad, you have reached the third level of Body Tempering in just one night. I didn't expect our Xiao Wuzi to be so talented."
Being teased by Tang Yong like this, Xiao Wuzi couldn't help blushing and said shyly, "It's all because I ate the young master's Body Tempering Pill. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to reach the Zhuji phase so quickly. Ah, young master, hurry up and change your clothes, it's going to be too late!"
Hearing this, Tang Yong immediately got up and went into the house to change into a set of warrior clothes. He then fetched a basin of water to wash up. Tang Yong was extremely familiar with this process. From changing clothes to washing up, it only took him a total of five minutes.
When Xiao Wuzi lit the fire and prepared to heat up the meal, Tang Yong had already eaten a Five Grain Pill.
This Five Grain Pill was equivalent to a nutrient solution. He used ordinary herbs to refine it, but after eating one pill, he didn't need to eat for three days.
After eating a Five Grain Pill, Tang Yong only felt warm in his stomach. His hunger was swept away, and his whole body was full of energy.
Xiao Wuzi was still busy in the kitchen. Tang Yong said to her, "I've already eaten. You can cook something for yourself!
Practice well at home and wait for my good news. "
After saying goodbye to Xiao Wuzi, he went out of the gate of Tang Mansion.
In the early morning, the streets were very quiet. Many people had young men in warrior clothes like Tang Yong walking on the street.
These warriors were all young talents on the Martial Roll. Today was the day they would meet the emperor. Everyone would go through the noon gate together and be examined by the guards. Then, the top 100 on the Martial Roll would wait outside the hall. The top three would enter the hall and meet all the officials who attended the morning court to receive rewards and commendations.
Because this day was the most glorious day for cultivators. Being a member of the Martial Rankings represented their strength, and it also represented that their future would be bright.
Therefore, all the warriors walking on the street were overjoyed and full of energy.
However, Tang Yong was different from these people. As soon as he went out, he immediately glanced around excitedly. Unfortunately, there were many guards standing on the street, but the warriors who made trouble for him yesterday were nowhere to be seen.
