Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

The corpses of everyone in the caravan and a letter returned, and at this time, everyone in Dishui County knew they indeed had been targeted by the Grandmaster of the twelve thieves!

And this Grandmaster of the twelve thieves seemed to be right nearby Dishui County, watching everyone in Dishui County.

Inside the city of Dishui County, everyone felt endangered, many people were on the verge of collapse, however, some tried to save themselves.

Some wanted to escape using the waterways, but it wasn’t long before several dead bodies appeared on the water, creating a bloody scene, clearly, the waterway was also being watched.

Others split into several groups, everyone heading in different directions, using different methods to escape, hoping to leverage the time difference to leave, but the end result was still their bodies being thrown at the gate of Dishui County.

The city of Dishui County seemed to have been directly sealed off.

"What do we do, are we just going to wait here to die? We have no way out at all!"

"Escape is impossible, I’ve been saying it’s impossible, why wouldn’t you believe it?" exclaimed a man whose friend had planned the escape in different directions. Now, all those men had died, and he was deeply distressed.

"Since we’re going to die anyway, we might as well indulge and do whatever we want!"

Everyone was collapsing, and the public order in the city of Dishui County immediately descended into chaos.

And at that moment, one person wanted to cry but had no tears.

That was Yi An, the County Magistrate of Yongfeng.

He, working for that official, had closely associated with the people from the Three Grand Families, even though people from the Three Grand Families were Grandmaster Level Martial Artists who treated him with great respect. Like this time, he was invited to the city of Dishui County to participate in some construction planning.

He could never have imagined that upon arriving in the city of Dishui County and having just settled in for one day, he would encounter the incident of the Grandmaster of the twelve thieves sending a warning letter.

His bad luck was unusually great.

"Family Heads, what do we do next, under these circumstances, Dishui County has turned into a nominal city of the dead!" Yi An understood their situation quite well.

"Right now it’s only nominal, but in five days if we can’t come up with a solution, it might become a real city of the dead."

The heads of the Three Great Families also understood that the situation was extremely critical, and one mishandling might wipe out their families.

"Firstly, we need to recognize one thing, we are not his match, head-on confrontations are impossible."

"Everyone knows that, asking a more powerful individual to deal with him is the best method, but where do we find such a person?" Yi An was aware of this, but what was most crucial now was finding a solution, "If only we could contact that official, he might be able to resolve it; unfortunately, we can’t get in touch, we can’t even leave the city now!"

"It doesn’t necessarily have to be this way!" At this moment, the Jiang Family Patriarch spoke, "Have you all forgotten what tomorrow is?"

The Zhao Family Master and Zheng Family Master suddenly remembered.

The Zhao Family Master, visibly excited, said, "Tomorrow is the middle of the month, the time of our agreement. The clan members outside are aware of this matter, they will surely inform that official, we might still have hope."

The Zheng Family Master initially had the same expression but quickly thought of an issue.

"But now, we’ve almost lost all contact with the outside world, does the outside even know our situation?"

Upon this remark, the other two family heads fell silent again.

Indeed, that was a crucial issue.

Only Yi An looked confused and said, "What are you all talking about, what about the middle of the month, and who is that official?"

He was completely clueless.

The heads of the Three Great Families then remembered that there was someone here who was unaware of the situation. The Jiang Family Patriarch explained, "This is the situation, our three families every middle of the month would... and now, it’s almost the middle of the month, just as soon as the people outside come to know of our plight, they will surely seek that official’s help, but the issue is that our situation might not be known to the outside world!"

Upon hearing this, Yi An suddenly understood and then showed a relieved expression.

"You’ve all fallen into a misconception, the Grandmaster of the twelve thieves did a foolish thing, which is not allowing us to leave while also preventing others from entering. We can’t reach out to the outside, and they can’t reach us. Plus, those scheduled to participate in martial competitions couldn’t leave. Just a bit of thoughtful consideration reveals there’s a problem, with sufficient caution, it could still be detected.

Another point, since the Grandmaster of the twelve thieves issued such a high-profile warning letter, it’s likely that person wants this to be widely known; otherwise, there’s no need for such an elaborate effort, maybe people outside already know our situation and are preparing.

Rather than worrying about the news not getting out, it’s better to worry that those people can’t think of this method."

After Yi An analyzed reasonably, the family heads of the Three Great Families also quickly came to understand.

The outside might already know about this information and be actively preparing.

"We must not panic. RouteServiceProvider->[] The city is in chaos right now, we need to stabilize the public order, otherwise it won’t be good if it displeases that official when the time comes."

After the discussion, everyone set out to pacify the residents of the city.

"Citizens, why must you not throw yourselves into disorder, don’t forget, our three counties are not rootless, but have that official with us, and as long as that official takes action, there surely won’t be any problem!"

Wang Sheng had saved the three counties several times, his prestige was extremely high, especially in the city of Dishui County, many of its residents knew about the two times that official had helped Dishui County.

"Yes, with that official here, the twelve thieves are just insignificant clowns, we will surely be fine!"

The people of Dishui County directly prayed in their hearts, hoping that the official would appear again.

This act calmed everyone in the city who had been somewhat restless.

They believed they would definitely be saved!

While the people of the Three Great Families were pacifying the residents in the city, a shadow lurked in the shadows, his eyes filled with countless malice and bloodlust.

"Everyone is anticipating, hoping someone will come to rescue you, only having gone through hope can bring about the highest quality of despair and fear, hehehe~"

Not long after, the shadowy figure vanished, making its way to a secretive spot outside of Dishui County.

There, several people were present, all dressed in black robes and exuding a bloody aura.

"Big Brother, the people of Dishui County are still counting on their Guardian God, thinking they still have a chance!"

The person called Big Brother sat on a rock, holding something bloody in his hand as he ate, its identity unknown.

"Hahaha, Guardian God? What I love most is facing these Guardian Gods. The despair after hope, the fear born from it, is so much better than the fear accumulated over mere time. Indeed, choosing three counties was the right decision."

"Big Brother will surely make that so-called Guardian God taste the flavor of despair!"

They all laughed wildly, showing complete disdain for the so-called Guardian God.

When even influences at the Overlord Level didn’t make a move, who did they need to fear?

"Thinking about it now, our choice to flee might not have been right, you see. Just a few of us in Shuzhou could do just about anything, Heavenly Saber City and Spirit Sword Valley didn’t dare to fart!"

"Yeah, who would have thought these Overlord Level powers would be so useless, not daring to meddle in our affairs at all!"

Their words were brash, carrying an air as if they were looking down on the world, fearlessly disregarding everyone.

"It’s all thanks to Big Brother’s formidable reputation, otherwise, who knows what the situation would be!"

The one called Big Brother also looked exceedingly satisfied.

His strength was just that immense!

Yet, if there were outsiders present, they would see that this group seemed delirious, almost crazed.

Bold enough to speak whatever came to their minds.

…

Meanwhile, on the second day that Dishui County was cut off from the outside world, all nearby counties knew exactly what had happened without needing to probe.

Because the Great Grandmaster among the Twelve Great Thieves had openly released this information, brazenly informing everyone that their next target was Dishui County.

They wanted everyone nearby to fear them.

They were also brazenly stating that if anyone dared to come and save them, then come and try!

Five days—that was what they gave to anyone who wanted to come and save.

This news was, of course, known also to people from the Three Great Families outside.

They were the most anxious.

Some of them had family members inside Dishui County, and a few even lost their composure.

Eventually, it was the Zhao Family Grandmaster who stepped forward to take charge.

"Everyone, don’t panic, this matter isn’t something we can solve, head to the usual place for martial contests first, then find a way to ask that person for help!"

Indeed, experience and age were an asset; the Zhao Family Grandmaster had immediately thought of this approach.

Knowing this was the only method to save Dishui County in a short period of time.

The Zhao Family Grandmaster personally led people to the regular spot for martial contests.

"I apologize, our families have encountered some problems, so the participants for the contests couldn’t make it!"

The first thing that Zhao Family Grandmaster did was to apologize.

The team led by Li Yongfeng found it odd and asked, "What happened?"

It was then that Zhao Family Grandmaster relayed the entire situation.

Li Yongfeng’s expression turned serious immediately; he was aware of the Twelve Great Thieves’ city-slaughtering acts but had not expected they would threaten Dishui County.

"We want to request that person’s help, whatever the cost may be!"

"Please wait, I will communicate this matter back home."

Li Yongfeng offered some brief reassurance before quickly heading back to Qingshan Village to inform Wang Sheng.

"The Twelve Great Thieves are threatening Dishui County?"

Wang Sheng furrowed his brow; he hadn’t expected the so-called Twelve Great Thieves would target Dishui County and also so boldly provoke him.

But he was at a critical moment in his research on the Sword Transformation Technique and was about to go into seclusion, hard-pressed to leave, yet he couldn’t simply ignore this matter.

They had come to provoke him!

After pondering, he said, "Brother Yongfeng, take a sword of mine and go kill them!"

Saying this, he summoned a flying sword!

(On the first day of Ri Wan! Requesting monthly tickets at the beginning of Yue!)
