"This... What's wrong with that name? " Wang Lih was confused.
Liang Ming and Hee Ann's faces were filled with surprise. Qin Xiao also stood to the side and watched.
"I wonder what your name is, where did you come from?"
Liang Ming asked.
"Oh, my surname is Wang, and I have a name Li. I live at Jiangzhou Mountain in the Western Territory." Wang Lih then cupped his hands and replied respectfully. Liang Ming and Hee Ann looked at each other and showed a firm expression again.
"Please follow me, Young Brother Wang. The Youlin Palace is coming this way." Liang Ming cupped his hands together, then placed the Long Halberd on his back and hung a lantern by the entrance of the mountain. He then walked down the stairs and grabbed onto Wang Lih's horse's reins, walking towards the quiet mountain path.
"Young Brother Wang!"
Hearing Qin Xiao's shout, Wang Lih looked back.
"Since everything is settled, then you will have to take care of the rest yourself! Older Brother Qin will return to Black Yih City first! " Qin Xiao waved his hand and said. When Wang Lih, who was in the distance heard this, he immediately responded:
"It's already deep into the night, do you still want to go, Older Brother Qin? "Why not stay in the palace for a night before leaving?"
"Hahaha …"
Only Qin Xiao's laughter came.
"I am not a member of the Youlin, nor am I a participant in the trial. In this huge palace, there is no place for me!"
"If Qingshan does not change, there will always be a flow of green water!" "Young Brother Wang, take care of yourself from now on!"
"It's already late, please stop the ruckus, Older Brother Qin." By the side, Hee Ann cupped his hands and said, while Qin Xiao completely ignored him.
Wang Lih sat on the horse and was led away by Liang Ming. Looking back, all he saw was Qin Xiao waving his hand under the light of the lantern, and the reins twitching as he flew down the steps. Amidst the dust and smoke rising from the steps, he left and slowly disappeared without a trace.
"In the future, when I've fulfilled Reverend Fang's last wish, I will definitely repay Older Brother Qin for his kindness for the past six months!"
"Older Brother Qin, take care from now on." Wang Lih cupped his hands together and said as he looked at the direction Liu Tie had left in.
While carrying the lantern, Liang Ming led Wang Lih along a narrow road in the valley.
The deep night sky was completely silent. The light from the lanterns lit up the mountain road, filling it with a gentle glow. Liang Ming and Wang Lih didn't say anything, so the atmosphere naturally became more and more silent.
"Liang... "Big Brother Ming." Wang Lih said, "Brother Liang has yet to answer the question that I asked just now."
"What problem?"
"Can the two of you recognize brother Tong Tianyu?"
Hearing this word again, Liang Ming was not only surprised, but also confused. Liang Ming didn't turn around. He was leading the horse and answering:
"I'm afraid I can't tell this to Young Brother Wang now."
"After Young Brother Wang passed the test and entered the entrance, he naturally found out." Liang Ming said.
"This... You want to keep us in suspense? " Wang Lih shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything after that. Under Liang Ming's guidance, they walked along this winding mountain road.
After an unknown period of time, Liang Ming finally brought Wang Lih to the end of the mountain road, in front of a house.
This house was only one storey high, and looked extremely shabby. Its size was only about the size of a guest room in the Luo Famliy's Mansion, and this was what the Youlin Sect called a "temporary palace"? Maybe using the word "palace" was too excessive, at least Wang Lih thought so.
"This is the line... "Palace?"
Wang Lih asked in surprise.
"I knew you'd ask that." Liang Ming shook his head, "This is only a third-rate guest palace, plus all the second-rate and first-rate ones. In the entire Youlin Valley, there were a total of sixty-four such palaces! I only brought you to one of them. You will rest here tonight. When the hour arrives tomorrow morning, someone will naturally come to pick you up. "
"Oh, I see." Wang Lih smiled and dismounted, "Sorry for troubling you, Brother Liang."
"It's just a matter of duty." Liang Ming nodded and then led Wang Lih into the palace.
Liang Ming held the lantern and lit up a wall lamp at the entrance of the hall. The inside of the room was instantly illuminated. It looked extremely shabby, but inside, it had been cleaned up and was extremely neat and tidy.
A bed, a table, a bookcase filled with books, and a weapon rack in the corner, and that was it.
Liang Ming continued to light up the four lights in the room, and soon, the entire room was lit up.
"Since it is a temporary residence, please forgive the simple and crude decorations." Liang Ming said, "Tonight, I would like to invite Young Brother Wang to condescend to stay here. Presumably, Young Brother Wang had always been living in Luo Famliy's Mansion with Older Brother Qin, right? The environment here is rather simple. Young Brother Wang, please get used to it. "
"That's right, big brother Liang." When will the Trial Assembly be held tomorrow morning? " Wang Lih asked.
"Don't worry too much about it. I've already said that someone will pick you up tomorrow morning. " Liang Ming answered with a smile, "I hope that Young Brother Wang can prepare well and handle the training."
"Then thank you, Big Brother Liang." Wang Lih cupped his hands. After entering the room, he placed the large stone club on the weapon rack and sat down cross-legged on the bed. He adjusted his breathing and prepared to rest.
Liang Ming smiled. He led Wang Lih's horse to the stable outside the house and tied it. Then, he took the lantern and left.
"Tong Tianyu? But I haven't seen her in a long time. "
Liang Ming thought to himself.
Inside the room, Wang Lih sat cross-legged.
The Five Spirit Mind Spell had already purified his heart veins, so once Wang Lih sat down, he only needed a few breaths to completely calm down. Although he had used the fire spirit's power to solve the problem, it was still very useful in optimizing Qi Cultivation and breathing exercises.
There was a saying in the scripture that when a martial artist practiced martial arts, if they were to strike with their fists or legs, the heart was the prerequisite.
If one could not even achieve the most basic state of mind, then one would not be able to improve on their martial arts.
Closing his eyes, Wang Lih began to chant the Burning Heart Arts's chant in his heart, and the Burning Heart Arts gradually started to circulate. The fire spirit power in the world seemed to be alive as it slowly began to move towards Wang Lih. It was also being absorbed by Wang Lih's heart meridian. Transformed into Wang Lih's Searing Flame Spirit, then step by step, the spirit vein would be cleared.
In an instant, there was nothing left in this world.
His eyes had no vision, his heart was filled with fire, and in this world, there was only fire.
"Roar!" "Boom ~ ~ ~"
Liang Ming, who was walking on the mountain path, had the lantern in his hand mysteriously extinguished. Liang Ming had only walked a few steps when he turned around to find that the four lamps in Young Brother Wang's palace had also gone out.
Apart from the loud explosion, there was no other sound in the world. It was as if nothing had happened.
"For the past half year, he cultivated the Burning Heart Arts everyday. Now, with the circulation of the Burning Heart Arts, I can absorb all the fire spirits that are tens of meters away. Compared to the past, he had improved a lot. This Five Spirit Mind Spell was truly a Divine Grimoire. As long as he practiced it simply, he would be able to reach such a level. It is really hard to imagine just how strong I will be when I become one with all five spirits! "
"I just don't know when my Searing Flame Spirit would connect, otherwise I would not be able to cultivate the next mental cultivation method."
Wang Lih continued to close his eyes and slowly devour all the fire spirits within a radius of several meters. He was increasing the speed of his cultivation by a lot.
After an unknown period of time, the night arrived.
Wang Lih, who was wearing a cotton robe, sat cross-legged on his wooden bed and meditated. It was as if he was in a deep sleep, but also seemed to be awake. He once again observed his surroundings. However, at this moment, there was a whistling sound! A light sound rang out — —
An iron arrow flew out of the window frame and headed straight for Wang Lih's head!
In a state of meditation, it was as if one was in a state of slumber, but in reality, one was completely awake. When the iron arrow was outside the window, Wang Lih had already noticed it! He then instantly opened his eyes and turned sideways. The iron arrow hit the stone wall behind him and shattered it into pieces!
"There's actually an assassin!"
Wang Lih got off the bed and picked up his stone stick. At this time, more arrows came from all directions!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! "Whoosh!
Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" However, this kind of training had been tested in Mu Ren Gang a few years ago! When he had used the Light Iron Spear, he could have easily blocked ten arrows!
And after half a year of training with the Fist Arts and the mental cultivation method, he could lift the large stone rod and block whatever he wanted! A grey shadow flashed, Wang Lih waved the stone stick. "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" With a few sounds, the iron arrows shattered. All the arrows that had been shot in were blocked by Wang Lih.
"This palace is not safe at all!"
"Let's go out and check the situation. I'm afraid there will be more arrows shooting at us if we continue to stay in this hut!" Wang Lih carried his stone stick and left.
Outside the door was the mountain road, the cliff, and the surrounding valleys. Although there was no mist in the middle of the night, there was no trace of moonlight. Everything was covered in a layer of darkness, and one could not see their five fingers if they stretched out their hands.
"Assassin from where, quickly show yourself!"
Wang Lih yelled angrily with a stone club in his hand, echoing continuously in the valley.
The echo reverberated for a long time, and then everything returned to silence. However, very soon, the sound of footsteps rang out. It was extremely fast! In the blink of an eye, Wang Lih raised his head and saw a few figures jumping down from above and headed towards him.
All of them were dressed up as assassins in black robes, and they had indeed come to attack him.
But now, he actually took the initiative to use it. Was he trying to do something else? Or could it be that these assassins want to directly get rid of him? If it was a direct confrontation, with Wang Lih's current strength and confidence, it would be impossible for him to defeat me without some skill!
Clatter!
The five assassins were in unison as they surrounded Wang Lih.
"So you're the ones who want to assassinate me?"
Holding the stone stick in his hand, Wang Lih pointed in the direction of the encirclement.
"You have some skill, but whether you can take the next attack will depend on whether you have the strength or not!" One of the assassins thought to himself, and then he suddenly rushed forward. A steel blade suddenly extended from his wrist. It was extremely sharp, and it pierced towards Wang Lih!
"Tch!" Just based on your … "
Wang Lih was very confident as he performed Shaolin's martial arts and the White Crane Fist.
"I have fought my way out of the encirclement of more than twenty people. What I'm least afraid of is a heavy encirclement! "Come on!"
First form of the White Crane Fist, White Crane Wing!
The stone rod danced in the air like a phantom as it repelled the incoming steel blade. However, just as this assassin took his first step, the other four also rushed forward. In an instant, he attacked from five different directions.
After half a year of practice, Wang Lih could already easily wield the hundred-pound stone stick. These successive blows were able to easily block these attacks that were much slower than him. He could tell from their exchange that these attacks were much stronger than the Swordsmen of the Assassin Temple. However, if he were to fight them alone, would that mean he would have to fight them alone? With just this speed …
There was no way to defeat him!
