Chapter 3365 Zhou Jue stirs up trouble, young man's loyalty

The middle-aged man held a heavy sword in his hand, with a bitter look on his face. He lowered his head, ashamed, and whispered.

"How can a defeated general talk about courage? I won't tell you where he ranks in Zhenwu Mountain, so as not to embarrass myself!"

Ma Kuxuan's expression was gloomy and uncertain, and his eyes moved back and forth between Zhou Jue and Chen Pingan. His eyes were complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't expect that Chen Pingan's boxing skills were so powerful that he defeated his master with one punch. The powerful boxing intention like a mountain made him still a little scared. His short body trembled a little, and the dogtail grass in his mouth fell off, but he didn't know it. He was obviously shocked by what happened just now and couldn't recover for a long time.

The military master of Zhenwu Mountain left the stream with Ma Kuxuan with a little frustration and disappeared from Zhou Jue's sight.

Zhou Jue glanced at Chen Pingan who was still in shock, and then his eyes fell on the clear stream. The gurgling water and the tinkling sound were like a piece of music played by the most brilliant pianist in the world, which could make people's worries disappear and their minds clear. He said with a faint look.

"Chen Pingan, starting tomorrow, you don't need to pick up snake gallstones anymore. There is a problem with the Lizhu Cave Heaven. The water level of the stream is dropping, and the dragon's breath is dissipating. Without this breath, these snake gallstones are just a whetstone and can't be sold at a high price!"

The stream flows slowly, and the water level drops at a speed that is invisible to the naked eye, but it can't hide Zhou Jue's wisdom. His eyes are deep and slightly fluctuating, looking at the deep pool under the corridor bridge. Only the snake gallstones there are of the best quality, and there are even snake gallstones condensed from the essence of real dragons.

Zhou Jue's eyes fell on the iron sword under the corridor bridge. It was rusty and had been through wind and rain. There was no trace of sharpness. It was like the sword left behind by a down-and-out swordsman. It was not presentable. But who could have thought that this was the first sword in this world, with supreme power, which could kill all cultivators below the fourteenth realm. It was the sword of the supreme god sword holder, with a great reputation, and it suppressed the three realms.

"The best quality snake gallstone in the town is in the deep pool under the corridor bridge, but you'd better not get close to it now!"

Zhou Jue felt the sharp sword energy condensed on the old sword and resisted everyone's approach. This sword can move mountains, break rivers, overturn seas, subdue demons, suppress demons, command gods, pick stars, destroy cities, and open the sky! It is definitely not something Chen Pingan can get close to now, so he gave these two instructions.

Although Chen Ping'an didn't understand why he couldn't go there to pick up snake gallstones, he knew that Zhou Jue wouldn't do it without a purpose, so he nodded and responded.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I will definitely remember what you said!"

"When Qi Jingchun lets you step on the corridor bridge, it won't be too late for you to get close to it!"

The reason why Lao Jian Tiao could take another look at Chen Ping'an was because Qi Jingchun helped him to fight for a great opportunity, which was considered a compensation for this sincere young man, and he didn't want to be completely disappointed with this world.

Chen Ping'an became more and more confused, and looked at Zhou Jue in confusion. Seeing that he didn't continue to explain, he scratched his head, and nodded again with a well-behaved look, saying that although he didn't understand, he would be obedient.

Zhou Jue took a step and went towards Niping Lane. Chen Ping'an quickly carried the bamboo basket on his back and followed closely. The shadows of the two extended on the ground and intertwined together. Their fates were closely linked at this moment.

"Chen Ping'an!"

"Well, Mr. Zhou, what's wrong?"

"There's one thing I forgot to tell you. Today, the two foreigners threatened Liu Xianyang with your life, forcing him to sell the wart armor and hand over the ancestral sword manual. Liu Xianyang almost handed the wart armor to the Xu family and died under the fist of the mountain-moving ape in Zhengyang Mountain!"

Chen Ping'an stopped in his tracks, clenched his fists, his eyes flashed with anger, his eyebrows knitted together, raised high, his voice became very calm, and he asked softly.

"Is Liu Xianyang okay!"

Zhou Jue paused for a moment, turned his head and glanced at the boy in straw sandals, his bright and clear eyes flashed with a playful look, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he chuckled.

"I promised Liu Xianyang that I could help him solve this matter and naturally would not let him get into trouble, but this promise can only be used once. If they continue to force Liu Xianyang, I will not care!"

Chen Ping'an's face did not change at all. He nodded slightly, and his pair of clean and bright eyes became a little heavier. He said softly.

"Mr. Zhou has fulfilled his promise. There is no reason to continue to stand up for Liu Xianyang. I understand this!"

Zhou Jue deliberately stimulated Chen Ping'an and gave him some motivation to practice boxing. Banshan Yuan and Madam Xu were almost killed by his sword. They were scared and dared not continue to force Liu Xianyang. Are they tired of living?

"You want to stand up for Liu Xianyang and seek justice from Banshan Yuan and Xu?"

Zhou Jue's eyes were sharp. How could he not see Chen Ping'an's plan? The smile on his mouth became clearer and clearer. He asked calmly.

"Do you know you are doing something stupid? You can't deal with them with your mediocre skills!"

"The mountain-moving apes in Zhengyang Mountain have lived for thousands of years. They are thick-skinned and have good cultivation. They are not juniors like Cai Jinjian. Even if their cultivation is suppressed in Lizhu Cave Heaven, their bodies are strong. Even if you hold immortal weapons, you can't hurt the old ape at all. At most, you can only get one or two scars. What's the point? It's useless!"

"Qi Jingchun won't help you in this matter, Ruan Qiong won't help, and even the town's new supervisor Song Changjing won't take the lead. If you want to seek justice, you can only do it alone, and you will definitely die. Do you understand?"

Zhou Jue's eyes were like a magic mirror, which could reveal the evil in people's hearts, revealing every detail without hiding anything.

But Chen Pingan on the opposite side had a clean and pure heart, untainted by dust. He spoke very firmly without any hesitation or fear.

"Mr. Zhou, I know that things in the world must be reasonable. If the reason doesn't make sense, this world will be too disappointing. Then death is death, and there is nothing to linger on!"

Chen Pingan's words were not profound, but they made Zhou Jue stunned. Appreciation flashed in his sword eyes. He nodded slightly, turned his head back, took a step, and continued to move forward. His voice was ethereal, as if it came from the sky.

"Chen Ping'an, this world is not so boring because of you. Qi Jingchun has high hopes for you!"

"If you can force that old ape to attack you without being killed by him, I can help you drive him out of the town and let him no longer threaten Liu Xianyang!"

Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and then took another step, his figure was firm, like a mountain, nothing in the world could shake him.

"I must take a punch from that old ape, I just hope I won't be killed by him, let him pay the price!"

Chen Ping'an thought secretly in his heart that with Zhou Jue's words, he could act with confidence. At worst, he would give up his life and seek justice for Liu Xianyang. He would never let his friend be bullied like this.

Liu Xianyang was full of blood, courageous, valued his promises over life and death, and had the spirit of a chivalrous man. Back then, he was almost beaten to death by Lu Zhengchun and his men, but he refused to bow his head and admit defeat, and didn't say a word. Now, for Chen Pingan, he almost died and handed over the ancestral treasure. Chen Pingan valued such a friend more than his own life.

Chen Pingan never thought about killing the old ape, and in fact, he never thought that he could really withstand the iron fist of the mountain-moving ape. He just wanted to use his own rotten life to let the mountain-moving ape kill him, violate the rules of the town, and pay a heavy price.

Zhou Jue knew Chen Pingan's plan very well, but he didn't comment. He didn't seem to care about Chen Pingan's safety at all. He was very indifferent and chose to watch coldly.

"What a silly boy, silly and cute!"

Zhou Jue complained in his heart, but on the surface he still had an indifferent expression and laughed secretly, but this was exactly his purpose. If a warrior did not abandon the fear of life and death, how could he achieve anything.

The mountain-moving ape was seriously injured by Zhou Jue's sword, and the injury was not light. In order to ensure the safety of his young lady, he entrusted his little girl to the Li family for protection.

In the Li family mansion, there is a little girl from Zhengyang Mountain. She is the granddaughter of the Tao family's Pure Yang Sword Ancestor. Her name is Tao Zi. She is worshipped as a Bodhisattva by the Li family.

The Li family arranged a number of first- and second-class maids to serve in Tao Zi's courtyard. These maids are all Li family's children. They are clean and efficient. They know their roots and have a clean background. Their ancestors were servants of the Li family. They can be said to be the most reassuring.

The courtyard where Tao Zi lives is located in the center of the Li family compound. It is not close to any streets. It can be firmly protected in the middle and not affected by external dangers.

Tao Zi is highly valued in Zhengyang Mountain. She is the favorite and happy fruit of several sword immortal ancestors. Of course, it is not because she looks beautiful and cute. These are not worth mentioning in the cultivation world. Mainly because the girl's roots, talents, temperament and opportunities are all counted in Zhengyang Mountain for the past 500 years. She is gifted and destined to achieve great success in the swordsmanship in the future, which is enough for Zhengyang Mountain to spend a lot of training resources to cultivate her.

The mountain-moving ape is recovering from his injuries. The little girl is no longer accompanied by familiar people. She sighed and seemed a little bored. She felt that the study was a little stuffy. With her hands behind her back, she came to the main hall with an old-fashioned look and looked up at the plaque for a long time.

Tao Zi was always followed by two pretty maids, who were responsible for protecting the little girl's safety. These two maids had good martial arts talents and were cultivated by the Li family. They became martial artists and achieved some success.

Tao Zi stayed in the house enough, walked out of the door, and came to the yard to relax. She did not leave the yard without permission to embarrass the servants.

Before the mountain-moving ape went into seclusion to recover from his injuries, he reminded the little girl not to leave the other courtyard arranged by the Li family, and everything should be based on safety. Although Tao Zi was young, she had been exposed to the world of cultivation since she was a child. She knew that the world of cultivation was full of twists and turns, and that she should not act recklessly, lest she hurt others and herself.

In the end, bored Tao Zi lay on the stone table. On the table was an exquisite bird cage, in which was a snake-catching eagle, with its head drooping, looking sickly, and its feathers were gray and ugly, which was really not in line with the little girl's aesthetic taste. Moreover, this snake-catching eagle was arrogant and ignored the little girl no matter how Tao Zi teased her, which made her feel even more boring.

In the cage, there were two porcelain bird feeders privately made by Li Jialong Kiln, small and exquisite, one plain and elegant for water, and one bright and colorful for food. Since the snake-catching eagle was caught in the bird cage, it has not been touched by water or rice for more than two days.

Snake eagles are unruly and love freedom. They are the kings of the sky and are rarely caught. On the rare occasions when they are caught, both chicks and adults will choose to starve to death, without exception.

Tao Zi teased the snake eagle for a long time, but it still didn't respond. She finally lost her patience and stood up to go back to the house.

"Bang!"

A loud noise startled everyone, and a bird feeder in the bird cage shattered. A maid behind her grabbed Tao Zi and protected her behind her. Her face was serious, her eyes were alert, and she looked around, guarding against attacks that could occur at any time.

"Bang!"

Another loud noise, the second bird feeder exploded, and the fragments flew everywhere, passing through the maid's delicate face, leaving a blood mark. She didn't even blink, and still firmly protected Tao Zi behind her.

At the same time, another slightly shorter maid, with sharp eyes like a hawk, quickly locked the direction of the assassin's attack and shouted loudly.

"There is an assassin, on the roof over there in Qingxinyuan!"

At the same time, the short maid began to run, kicked the wall, jumped up, grabbed the edge of the eaves with her white and slender hands, exerted her arms, turned over and climbed onto the roof, and rushed towards the figure squatting on the roof in the distance.

Qingxin Courtyard is not far from the other courtyard. Chen Pingan stood on the roof of the main house of Qingxin Courtyard. Behind him was Fulu Street. It was easy to climb over the wall and get out. This was the position he carefully chose, which would facilitate his retreat.

Chen Pingan took a deep look at the little girl in the other courtyard, his eyes were cold, and before the maid on the roof approached, he jumped down, merged into Fulu Street, and fled.

Tao Zi still stayed behind the maid. Seeing that the assassin had left, she did not move rashly, but remained vigilant and scolded the maid on the roof loudly.

"Stupid, don't come down yet, be careful that the other party will lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

"Hurry up and tell the news. If I die, everyone in the other courtyard will be buried with me!"

The maid on the roof stared at Chen Pingan's fleeing figure. The assassin's speed was fast, his steps were big, and his rhythm was good. With the perfect breathing, his figure quickly disappeared, like a light flying bird, a snake-catching eagle out of the cage.

"This assassin must have practiced martial arts for many years, and he is definitely not an ordinary person!"

This maid is a talent carefully cultivated by the Li family. She has practiced martial arts for many years and has a sharp eye. She made an accurate judgment on Chen Ping'an's strength. But she didn't know that Chen Ping'an had only learned the Shaking Mountain Fist for more than half a month, and was also despised by Ning Yao for being too poor, too stupid, and too slow in practice.

After an incense stick, the Mountain Moving Ape didn't care about his unhealed injuries, and broke through the barrier directly, and came to the Li family mansion with murderous intent. The Li family didn't dare to breathe, lowered their heads, and didn't dare to look directly at the tall old man.

"Grandpa Ape, the people of the Li family are all trash, and they can't protect my safety at all. How dare you entrust my safety to them?"

The Mountain Moving Ape, with white hair and surrounded by murderous aura, knelt on one knee in front of Tao Zi and said very ashamedly.

"Miss, I was negligent!"

After saying that, the Mountain Moving Ape turned his head and looked at the head of the Li family behind him. His eyes were full of murderous aura, and his gaze was as sharp as a sword, making him tremble.

"Li Hong, you have to give me an explanation in Zhengyang Mountain, otherwise I will never let it go!"

"This time it is indeed the fault of my Li family, and we cannot shirk it. According to the information we have obtained so far, the assassin is a teenager, not a cultivator from the outside world, and the government office has not provided any useful intelligence!"

"But my Li family will send more people to protect Miss Tao's safety day and night!"

The Li family is also a big family in Lizhu Cave Heaven. As the head of the Li family, Li Hong is even more trustworthy. But at this time, facing the furious Mountain Moving Ape, the great cultivator of the Jade Pu realm had to bend his noble waist and apologize with a wry smile.

"The assassin should not really want to kill me, but more like a warning!"

Tao Zi frowned slightly, and the light of wisdom flashed in his bright eyes, and he made an accurate judgment on this assassination.

When Banshanyuan heard this, his brows furrowed, his fierce eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly thought of someone. He gestured and asked the maid beside him.

"The man is a thin boy with dark skin and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. He is about this tall!"

The short maid who climbed onto the roof knelt on the ground. When she heard Banshanyuan's description of the assassin, she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. It was exactly what the tall old man guessed.

"Okay, okay, it turns out to be a demonstration and provocation!"

"Don't interfere in this matter anymore. I already know the details of the assassin. The other party is a boy from Niping Lane in the town!"

Banshanyuan slowly stood up from the ground, grinning, with a sinister look in his eyes, waved his hand to the head of the Li family, and said fiercely.

"Grandpa Yuan, don't take it lightly, be careful of fraud!"

Although Tao Zi is a little girl, she is very wise. She has seen intrigues since she was a child, and she reminded in a low voice.

The Moving Ape glanced at the young lady, frowned slightly, and said to Li Hong hesitantly.

"Go to the government office to retrieve the household files, and look up all the ancestors of this young man, and investigate thoroughly!"

"In addition, the guards of the other courtyard should be few and elite, not too many and too diverse, and please ask the Dinghaishenzhen of your Li family to come out. If the young lady has an accident in the Li family, I, a thousand-year-old beast in your eyes, can't bear it, let alone your Li family's side branch!"

"Grandmaster Ape, what you said is embarrassing for the Li family! We will definitely do our best to protect Miss Tao's safety and will never let her suffer any harm!"

Li Hong bowed repeatedly, with an attitude of going all out, and said in panic.

After giving these instructions, Banshanyuan showed a thoughtful look on his face, and began to guess who was behind the scenes instigating Chen Pingan to come and provoke and demonstrate.

"Is it the kid from Fenglei Garden, or Song Changjing from the government office?"

Banshanyuan thought for a long time, but could not determine the mastermind behind the scenes. He shook his head, unwilling to waste this energy. A strong murderous aura flashed in his fierce eyes, and he made a decision.

"No matter who instigated him to die, he didn't know how to find a better pawn to cross the river. A grasshopper with no meat is not enough to fill the gaps in my teeth! I was worried that I had no chance to kill people. With this excuse, I will kill the local embryo in Niping Lane first, and then solve you, the little bastard from Fenglei Garden, together. Even Qi Jingchunye can't say much!"
