jinshan temple.

ma san originally intended to go to the city to gather information but was stopped by liang sheng. after listening to ma san’s report yesterday, the more he thought about it, the more something felt off.

the situation in jinzhou city became increasingly tense recently, and it might completely erupt any day. anyway, the situation in these two days had been a bit unusual.

adopting a cautious principle along with liang sheng’s uneasy intuition, he asked ma san to stay in the temple and not to go to jinzhou city to gather information for the time being.

when night fell, liang sheng looked at the bright moon in the sky. amidst the mottled shadows of the trees, he became more and more restless.

he feared that something would happen tonight, but he didn’t know what the outcome would be. he hoped that the news he would receive tomorrow would be good.

…

jinzhou city.

at this moment, the streets were silent, and the usual patrol guards were not on duty tonight. even the yichun building was not open for business.

the lower-class people of the three teachers and nine streams were the most observant. whenever there was a slight disturbance, they would seek fortune and avoid evil.

at this time, the night breeze was gentle, and the bright moon was high in the sky. yet, for some reason, there was an aura of solemnity and killing intent on the streets.

just then, footsteps suddenly appeared on the street. as time went on, the footsteps grew more and more dense.

afterward, a large number of men and horses appeared on both sides of the street, all armed with weapons. as soon as the two sides met, they fought without saying a word.

cold steel showed no mercy. amidst the flashes of their blades, flesh and blood flew, and screams of pain and cries for battle mixed together, creating an unparalleled chaos.

however, this was just a fight between ordinary martial artists. not far from the battlefield, more than a dozen figures stood facing each other.

“father-in-law, i’m afraid i’ve offended you today.”

it turned out that the leaders of both sides were liang ying and wu chang. upon hearing liang ying’s words, wu chang couldn’t help but sneer.

“my good son-in-law, you are merely at the postnatal seventh realm. how can you compete with me without liang ping’s presence, forcing me to bully a weaker opponent?”

“really?”

liang ying did not get angry upon hearing this, but instead chuckled lightly. then, a burst of hearty laughter came from behind him.

“lord of wu family, i think with me here, there’s no need for liang ping to show up, right?”

the next moment, zheng wanchun appeared before both sides. wu chang looked at him, and his brow furrowed, but then he burst into laughter.

“zheng wanchun, you’re just a minor constable, merely at the postnatal seventh realm. how dare you act wildly in front of me?”

wu chang’s words had just fallen when a burst of qi emanated from zheng wanchun, and wu chang’s laughter abruptly stopped.

“hmm? you broke through?”

zheng wanchun simply smiled without speaking. wu chang’s face turned extremely ugly as he looked at liang ying standing calmly to the side, appearing to have suddenly understood something.

“so, you colluded with the county government, which is why you dared to act like this.” he couldn’t help but turn his gaze to the other side of the battlefield, his expression even more unsightly.

for there was now a third force there, the constables from the county government. in an instant, the previously evenly matched wu family guards were retreating in defeat.

“alright, let’s spare the meaningless words. father-in-law, it’s all just a matter of winners and losers. as long as you submit to my liang family, i guarantee that your wu family will suffer no losses.”

“you really are my good son-in-law, but, dream on!”

the next moment, wu chang instantly charged from a distance of ten meters, and a powerful palm wind directly appeared in front of liang ying.

liang ying remained motionless at this time, as if he hadn’t reacted. but in the next moment, a figure stood in front of wu chang.

“lord of the wu family, you’re a bit too anxious. your opponent is me!”

the two immediately tangled with each other, unleashing fierce winds with their punches. the bluestone beneath their feet broke one after another. in just a few breaths, all the stones within ten meters had been shattered.

the terror of the post-natal “eighth” level realm.

after battling for a few more rounds, wu chang retreated several steps, his face extremely pale.
