night.

at this moment, liang sheng was unusually not cultivating as the night sky to the southeast of jinzhou city was ablaze. thick smoke filled the air and the clashes of battle could be heard.

under such circumstances, there was no way liang sheng could settle down to cultivate. he even felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety.

for some reason, he had an intuition that tonight would not be peaceful. at the root of this unease was his insufficient strength.

if his strength was powerful enough to face any emergencies with equanimity, would he be feeling like this?

nevertheless, liang sheng was not overly anxious, after all, time was on his side. he was confident that even a postnatal nine-layer master would not live as long as he would.

as long as he was careful and prudent, there would come a day when he could face any situation fearlessly.

despite the slow progress of his cultivation, the reversal of longevity skill’s tenth layer to cultivate other health cultivation methods had doubled his efforts.

what’s more, it was not difficult to cultivate the health cultivation methods. ordinary people could do it casually, only encountering a bottleneck in their cultivation.

but this was a non-issue for liang sheng. under the talent of innocent foolishness, there was no bottleneck to all the techniques in the world, and he only needed to cultivate in an orderly manner.

at this moment, liang sheng’s attribute panel had changed compared to before:

name: liang sheng

age: 26

talent: innocent foolishness (top-grade)

techniques: golden dragon technique (fifth layer), longevity skill (tenth layer), other lifespan cultivation techniques (fourth layer) [ps: too many techniques, omitted]

realm: martial artist postnatal fifth layer (60%)

the most surprising development was not the satisfactory progress of his health cultivation methods, but that liang sheng had finally cultivated the fifth layer of the liang family’s unique golden dragon technique.

this meant that he now possessed the real strength of the postnatal fivefold, not just the average strength of the health techniques making up the postnatal fivefold.

in the courtyard, the servants and guards like ma san were also staying awake. under liang sheng’s arrangement, they rotated to patrol, ensuring safety.

after more than an hour, the sound of the battle in the southeast finally began to die down. liang sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

it seemed that the situation could still be controlled. but considering the grand scale of tonight’s events, the county government office would probably convene the three families for a conference.

by now, the three families must have determined a victor, otherwise, the fighting in the southeast would not have ceased.

at this thought, liang sheng couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he still ordered ma san to be extra careful tonight and not let down their guard.

after all, there were far too many stories about those who fell before dawn. he wouldn’t relax his guard and make mistakes before the unrest subsided.

since the closer the finish line, the more cautious one should be.

after liang sheng relaxed, he noticed that it was already late, so he simply went to bed. after all, maintaining a high level of tension for a long time was indeed tiring.

however, as liang sheng lay down to rest, two bloodied men holding steel knives carefully walked through an alleyway not far away.

“big brother, i think we’ve taken a wrong turn. this is liang family’s territory.”

“damn!”

the older brother cursed, “all because of the liang and wu families’ bastards were chasing too closely. in the rush, we actually ended up here.”

the brothers initially wanted to leave. but after stealthily walking some distance, the older one recognized what place this was.

the shengde building.

he had been here before with people from the gao family. for some reason, he had a sudden thought. this was the property of the eldest son of liang family’s waste.
