Not to mention, there was also a group of water bandits led by the Water Immortal over there.
However, Ziyue still believed that with Old Sixth Liu's cautious behavior, he would never be willing to let his things fall into the hands of others.
"Huh?
It seems to be a bit heavy. "
Ziyue raised his eyebrows in surprise and felt the weight of the package in his hand.
Opening it quickly, Ziyue's breathing quickened for a moment.
Silver, so much silver.
Pieces of fist-sized silver were very heavy.
However, what really attracted his attention were two other thread-bound books.
"Eagle Claw Technique, Five Stages of Golden Body."
Ziyue's eyes lit up and he was a little excited. "This external forging technique, Five Stages of Golden Body, is indeed carried by him."
After confirming this, Ziyue completely relaxed.
Now that he had achieved his goal, he had no intention of staying any longer.
At this time, he clearly felt that the sounds of the battle in the distance had gradually stopped. He knew that it would be too late if he didn't leave now, so he quickly put away the package and left with it.
Bai Ziyue's return was much faster than when he had arrived.
He sprinted as fast as he could, raising his speed to the maximum.
His footsteps crushed the ground, and his strength burst forth like a spring jumping. With just a step, he covered a distance of two to three meters.
He crossed a distance of 100 meters in less than ten seconds.
…
Ten minutes later, a group of three people appeared on the battlefield where Ziyue had been.
Almost all of them were injured, especially a burly man. There was a long saber scar from his chest down to his stomach. His flesh and blood were overturned. Although he had applied Golden Sore Ointment, it was still very terrifying.
They were the escorts of the Wuwei Escort Agency.
Of the five, only three of them came back alive in the end.
Among them, the one with the lightest injuries was the escort disguised as Old Sixth Liu. As he walked, it was obvious that his status should be above the other two.
"I was careless. I didn't expect Old Sixth Liu to be unable to escape this disaster in the end."
Looking at Old Sixth Liu's corpse, the man said in a complicated tone.
"He only has himself to blame for this. If he had taken the official road according to our plan, with the tacit understanding between our escort agency and the Ghost Head Stronghold, he would have at most lost half of his wealth and would have been able to pass safely.
It was better than losing both his money and his life.
He even caused our escort to fail and we lost two of our brothers. "
Someone said indignantly.
"The only pity is that the Water Immortal escaped in the end. Otherwise, I could have avenged the Xu brothers."
Another person quickly added.
"Don't say anymore. Since you've chosen to be an escort, you should be mentally prepared. In this world, when are there no deaths?
First of all, we need to determine how Old Sixth Liu died so that we can report back to the escort leader.
Otherwise, the Xu brothers would have died in vain if the Jingxi Business Alliance could not get the one hundred taels of silver that Old Sixth Liu gave them.
Besides, Old Sixth Liu hasn't been dead for long. Maybe we can catch up to him. "
As he spoke, the man squatted down and began to carefully examine Old Sixth Liu's cause of death.
"The explosive force of the punch directly tore apart his skin membrane. Judging from the power of this punch, the other party has at least reached the middle stage of external forging, the level of external forging of the flesh and blood.
However, the real cause of Old Sixth Liu's death is the saber on his neck.
It's just that … "
There was a hint of confusion on his face.
Judging from the strength of the other party's punch, the other party had at least reached the level of external forging of the flesh and blood to be able to cause such a big injury. However, the power of this saber seemed to be a little weaker than the power of a true middle stage external forging martial artist.
"Chief Wang, look here. There's a series of footprints."
Suddenly, a burly man shouted at him.
He immediately walked forward and looked at the footprints on the ground. He stretched out his palm to compare them, and the confusion on his face became even stronger. He said, "This is the result of gathering strength at the tip of the foot and using the explosive force of the tip of the foot to travel.
However, judging from the size of the toe on the footprints and the distance of each step, the other party's legs must not be too long.
Could it be that the other party is a woman?
Or is it just a child? "
He thought in his heart and first ruled out the possibility that it was a child.
Judging from the size of the footprints, if it was a child, the other party was at most 12 or 13 years old. At this age, even if they had practiced martial arts from a young age, it was not certain that they could achieve full mastery of pole-standing, let alone directly possessing the strength of external forging of the flesh and blood.
Old Sixth Liu's strength was not strong, but it was not weak either. He was definitely not someone that an ordinary child could deal with.
If it was a martial arts genius, he probably would not have taken a fancy to the things on Old Sixth Liu's body.
'If it's a female martial artist, then everything from before makes sense.'
Even if martial artists did not distinguish between men and women, in terms of strength, women were obviously inferior to men. Everything was clear when compared to his previous observation.
"I'll go after it first. You guys follow behind."
He made up his mind and could not help but be greedy for the fine silver on Old Sixth Liu's body. He shouted in a low voice and quickly chased after it.
If Old Sixth Liu was still alive, he might have suppressed his greed due to the deterrence of the escort agency. Now that Old Sixth Liu was dead, the silver on his body was now ownerless. Naturally, it was up to the capable to obtain it.
He knew that Old Sixth Liu had betrayed the water bandits this time and obtained not only the fifth stage of the external forging technique, but also the wealth that the Water Immortal had accumulated for many years.
Otherwise, the Water Immortal would not have made such a big fuss and almost turned out in full force to kill him.
He believed that his strength was not bad. Perhaps he could really catch up with that woman and obtain this windfall.
The other two looked at each other and had to endure the pain of their wounds and follow.
…
Near the city gate, Ziyue calmly looked at himself. After confirming that he did not miss anything, he slowly walked to the back of the line to enter the city and waited patiently.
He was dressed in coarse hemp clothes and had a wooden face. Other than his eyes, he looked no different from an ordinary country bumpkin. The only difference was that the cloth bag on his back was a little too big and did not match his size.
The soldier guarding the gate could not help but take a second look. Ziyue quickly said, "I'm an inner disciple of the Scorching Sun Gang. I came back from my hometown this time."
As he spoke, after paying the entrance fee of one copper coin, he quickly handed over the inner disciple token that represented his identity.
"Go in."
Hearing this, the soldier let him go lightly.
With the strength of the Scorching Sun Gang in Qinghe Town, even the Lord Garrison attached great importance to them. Naturally, he did not dare to deliberately make things difficult for them.
It was not until this moment that Ziyue really let out a long sigh of relief.
"This time, although the process was thrilling, it was smooth all the way.
And … "
Ziyue could not help but reach out and pinch the corner of the cloth bag. When he touched the hard silver, his heart immediately calmed down.
Although he did not count it carefully, he knew that there was definitely a lot of silver in this cloth bag.
He even saw a few golden leaves.
