C40 Bandits

Lee Yuan scratched his head with a silly smile and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. I'm a bit slow. I only learned how to open a lock from the Secret Script, which made the elder laugh."

Xu Jing shook his head and sighed. "It's a pity..."

The Thousand Chance Sect was a prosperous sect from a thousand years ago. It was no worse than the Taihao Sect.

But because the Thousand Chance Sect used a secret technique to control puppets, all the warriors and cultivators in the world thought that it was evil. At that time, it was unknown who had spread the news that the Thousand Chance Sect used human bodies as materials to create puppets, and it had caused public outrage. Several righteous sects joined forces to eradicate the Thousand Chance Sect.

The Taihao Sect was one of them.

The dumpster controlling technique Lu Ming had seen before was the technique used by the Qianji Sect to control dummies.

However, what Lu Ming saw was only the modified dumpster technique.

Apart from the Puppet Manipulation Technique, the Thousand Chance Sect's hidden weapons were also top-notch. They often killed people without leaving any traces behind, causing people to panic when they saw them disappear without a trace.

This made many people think that the reason why the Qian Ji Sect was eradicated was because of the rise of the Qian Ji Sect.

Lee Yuan said, "Actually, it's not a pity. I can only say that my fortune is right here."

Secret Seal Script was a wood block that was only the size of a mahjong card. However, it was engraved with the inheritance and skills of a powerful cultivator, which was why it was called Secret Seal Script.

Moreover, Secret Seal Script was unique. In other words, it could only be used once. Once it was used up, it would automatically turn into ashes and be destroyed.

It was Lee Yuan's good luck to be able to dig out the secret Seal Script of the Thousand Chance Gate. However, he only learned the Lockpicking Skill, which seemed to be of little value to him. There were indeed some opportunities, but they were not long-term.

Lu Yuan had been envious of Lee Yuan for a while because he had dug out the secret seal script. However, thinking that Lee Yuan did not learn anything useful from the secret seal script, he felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.

Perhaps this was human nature!

After all, he was not a saint.

Lu Yuan reached out and patted Lee Yuan's shoulder, saying, "Although I missed a great opportunity, having a skill to earn money to maintain my cultivation is not a good thing."

Lee Yuan nodded and said, "Thank you for the teachings of the Lu Family Master. Did you come here today because of some difficult lock?"

"That's right." Xu Jing took out a square wooden block the size of a fist from his sleeve. If Lu Ming was here and saw this thing, he would definitely exclaim - Magic Cube!

Xu Jing handed the densely patterned but messy Magic Cube to Lee Yuan and said, "Can you solve this thing?"

Lee Yuan took it and looked at it a few times. He had a troubled look on his face and said, "I won't hide it from the elder. Master of Lu Family, this is the first time I have seen this kind of lock, so..."

Xu Jing frowned and said, "Is it very difficult?"

Lee Yuan said, "It's very difficult. I need time."

Xu Jing looked at Lee Yuan and asked, "How long?"

Lee Yuan replied, "It's hard to say."

Lee Yuan knew what Xu Jing was worried about. He couldn't help but say, "Elder, please rest assured. I won't mysteriously disappear with this thing. My home is in Cangwu City. Unless necessary, I will leave. I usually stay at home."

Xu Jing looked into Lee Yuan's eyes and said, "How can I trust you?"

Lu Yuan interrupted, "Elder Xu, I can guarantee this. I know very well where his home is. I also know Lee Yuan's temper. It's not too much to be honest with me."

Xu Jing looked at Lee Yuan and then looked at Lu Yuan. After a long silence, he said, "Alright, I'll give the Lu Family Master face. However, I'll only give you two days. I'll come back to the dark market in two days. If I don't see you, you'll understand the consequences. "

Xu Jing gave Lee Yuan a cold glance, causing Lee Yuan to feel as if he was in an ice cave. His whole body trembled, and he said seriously," Don't worry, I will definitely come. "

Xu Jing and Lu Yuan had already decided to return to the prefecture.

Lee Yuan was ready to return and break the Magic Cube as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he was targeted by the elders of Taihao Sect, his future days would definitely not be easy.

Lee Yuan hastily packed up his stall, put it on his shoulder, and left in a hurry.

What he didn't know was that his, Xu Jing, and Lu Yuan's actions were seen by the martial artists at the stalls nearby. They thought that they were exchanging something precious, so the two of them looked at each other and saw the sinister look in each other's eyes.

They also quickly put away the stall and quietly followed Lee Yuan.

It was only when they followed Lee Yuan to a dark alley with no one around that they blocked Lee Yuan one after the other.

Lee Yuan was shocked and angry, and shouted, "Who are you?"

The martial artist in front of Lee Yuan grinned hideously and said, "Who we are is not important. What is important is that whatever precious thing you have, hand it over and we will let you go."

This thing was related to his own life. Lee Yuan protected the Magic Cube in his clothes and said angrily, "Impossible."

The martial artist in front narrowed his eyes. His eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light as he said, "Then we can't be blamed."

They attacked from the front and back with their fists and legs.

Lee Yuan's expression changed. The thing on his shoulder fell to the ground, making a clanging sound.

He did not care if there was really something precious in it. After all, life was the most important thing.

Facing the pincers on his left and right, Lee Yuan asked himself to try his best to be calm. However, sweat had already covered his forehead. He clenched his fists and punched towards the left, because he felt that the strength of the warrior on the left was lower than the one on the right.

Indeed, this martial artist had been forced back by him. But behind him, another martial artist punched him. He staggered a few steps forward, and the martial artist on his chest, who had been forced back by him, kicked him. Blood immediately sprayed out of his mouth.

However, his physique was strong and muscular, and he had risked his life in a dangerous place all year round. Although he was only at the Houtian Blood Condensation stage, his strength was not much weaker than an Acquired Pulse Opening Stage.

Therefore, when faced with two breadsticks, he could deal with them freely, but it was not easy either.

The two martial artists also did not expect Lee Yuan to be so brave. One of them was at the Postnatal Blood Condensation Realm, and the other was at the Acquired Pulse Opening Stage. If they wanted to defeat a Postnatal Blood Condensation Realm martial artist, it would be as easy as flipping their hand.

However, looking at the current situation, they were evenly matched. This made their expressions very ugly, especially that Acquired Pulse Opening Stage martial artist.

"Thunder Rumbling Fist."

This person was extremely furious. The fist that was thrown out actually emitted a faint sound of thunder, spreading in the dark and quiet alley.

Facing this fist that was surging with energy, Lee Yuan's expression suddenly became serious. His tightly clenched right fist emitted a strong Gang Qi, distorting the darkness.

"Inch Gang Fist."

The two fists clashed, and a powerful energy wave swept across the alley like a tidal wave.

The other Houtian Blood Condensation martial artist took advantage of the gap between Lee Yuan and suddenly attacked with his leg. Like a whip, a series of cracking sounds rang out.

This kick fiercely hit Lee Yuan's lower back. The powerful force made Lee Yuan's entire body tremble. He could not stop himself from moving and crashed into the wall of the alley.

The Acquired Pulse Opening Stage martial artist's punch didn't stop it. When it hit the floor tiles, it immediately cracked open.

"Hand it over!"

The Houtian Blood Condensation martial artist grinned as he stretched out his hand.

Blood flowed out from the corner of Lee Yuan's mouth. His beard had been stained with blood, and he looked very pathetic.

He was like a wounded lone wolf at this moment. Although he was seriously injured, he did not compromise.

"Don't even think about it!"

"Good, you are very unyielding."

"Kill him!"

The two martial practitioners revealed vicious expressions, their killing intent bursting forth.

Suddenly, a cold light shot over.

Kill!
