Chapter 374: Dihua? This Is Illogical!
Chapter 374: Dihua? This Is Illogical!
"This entire fight lasted no more than ten seconds. You guys spent more time chatting than fighting." Qin Muye couldn't help but comment after watching the live broadcast.
Previously, he had also watched Li Xiang and the Pan Gui Martial Arts Hall's hall master fight. The two of them fought for about twenty minutes, and both their techniques and struggles seemed very formal. In the end, the Pan Gui hall master was severely injured by just one move.
"So, it was all an act before? Although the severe injury was real, there’s clearly a deeper underlying issue."
A life-and-death battle naturally happens in the blink of an eye. It's impossible for two people of the same realm to fight for three days and three nights. That only happens during sparring, where there’s enough time to let the opponent display their skills.
"But will this involve me?" Qin Muye didn't care about the consequences of Li Xiang killing Wu Dao. From their conversation, it was clear that Wu Dao had gone into hiding as a minor patrol officer, definitely looking for something.
But Wu Dao’s whereabouts were unknown. If he died, it would be fine, but now this secret had been transferred to Li Xiang.
If Qin Muye had obtained such information and someone came to intercept him, the authenticity of the information would immediately rise to over 90%. He wouldn’t give up either; he might even turn around to investigate, considering it was something that even people of the same realm coveted. It would definitely be useful to him.
"I need to resolve this trouble first. Otherwise, what? Why is Li Xiang walking... No, running? What’s his situation?" Qin Muye was a bit puzzled; this didn’t match his expectations.
From the emotions emanating from Li Xiang, Qin Muye could sense fear, urgency, and various negative feelings, which left him baffled.
"He was so reckless before, why did he suddenly become like this?" Qin Muye arranged for a spirit to follow him, planning to find a way to infiltrate the Mad Lion School and see if he could get some good things out of it.
Currently, the spirit that infiltrated the Pan Gui School had become a formal disciple. The true disciple status was out of the question. Although the old hall master was saved, he was crippled for life.
As for the government and financial tycoons trying to take over the Pan Gui Martial Arts Hall, that was impossible. The Pan Gui School had already sent a new hall master to take over, but it would take some time. During this period, whatever they could get would be their compensation. But if they dared to make a move, the Pan Gui School wouldn’t hesitate to retaliate.
From this, it can be concluded that in the Confederation of Princes, besides the overt princes and major financial tycoons, there are also these martial artists who possess secret martial arts. Most of these martial artists focus on cultivation and rarely involve themselves in worldly affairs.
Moreover, these martial artists are not a monolithic group; they are divided into various schools, each centered around their own martial arts lineage.
"Forget it, let him run. If he runs, he can serve as a spy and gather some intelligence for me."
How Li Xiang behaves will determine the situation. If he keeps it to himself, it will just be a passing matter, and he can serve as a hidden asset.
But if he dares to expose it, Qin Muye will have the spirit follow him and wipe out the entire Mad Lion School to prevent the situation from escalating. He would eliminate the entire family, ensuring that the elders wouldn’t come out. Doing things properly means being thorough and eliminating the root of the problem.
According to Qin Muye’s analysis, the Mad Lion School in the north must be quite significant. Wiping it out would be a pity. If a spirit infiltrated, it could use the school to gather intelligence and information, even uncovering some ancient secrets.
"Wait, why did my Stronger Aura go up by +2?"
Qin Muye’s expression changed as he looked at his temporary skill, feeling uneasy.
"Is it because I sold Li Xiang two bags of bread?"
There was a certain reason for their conflict. If Li Xiang hadn’t come to test him, he wouldn’t have bought the bread, and there wouldn’t have been any misunderstanding. Wu Dao wouldn’t have died. Therefore, the Stronger Aura attributed this to Qin Muye.
"This Dihua isn’t as unreliable as this. Dihua at least has a basis. This was just a normal business transaction, with no ulterior motives involved!!!" Qin Muye tried to communicate with The Lord’s Era to downgrade it.
But it was clearly ineffective.
If upgrading was so easy, it definitely wasn’t a good thing.
"I can’t stay here. I need to go out and hide. But, damn it, going out won’t work either. What if I encounter a martial artist and end up paralyzing them?"
Qin Muye felt a bit overwhelmed. As for returning to the Endless Abyss, he decided against it. He was afraid something might happen. This temporary skill was definitely on the level of cause and effect, and it could even be upgraded. If he really returned to the Endless Abyss, who knew what kind of formidable person might come out to challenge him?
In his territory, Qin Muye conducted various experiments and studies remotely, using the Shadow of the Sage’s Book, which was quite convenient.
So, while Qin Muye appeared to be leisurely drinking tea and reading newspapers, he was actually devoting most of his energy to controlling the Sage’s Book and performing various experiments.
After all, the temporary skill was too dangerous, so it was better to be cautious.
"Forget it, I'll just stay here and keep a low profile. Anyway, this small place won't attract any big shots, and I can worry about fame later."
Qin Muye stretched lazily, feeling that it was best to let things be. As long as he pretended to be harmless, these martial artists still had some moral bottom line and wouldn’t attack ordinary people.
As for encountering a martial artist with no moral bottom line, Qin Muye wasn’t afraid. His moral bottom line was quite flexible, and besides, with their limited abilities, how could they possibly breach his defenses? Even a 7th-rank martial artist would find it difficult, let alone a group of 4th-rank martial artists.
If someone dared to attack him, they wouldn’t just end up paralyzed; they would be sent directly to the funeral home, cremated, and buried without any ceremony. And with Qin Muye’s abilities, he would ensure that their souls were sent to the afterlife, guaranteeing they wouldn’t come back to haunt him as ghosts.
"However, this Martial Will is quite interesting. It can actually materialize techniques, but why are they all animals like lions, snakes, and turtles? Why not something grander, like wind, rain, thunder, lightning, or deities and demons?"
Qin Muye wasn’t particularly interested in their techniques, but he was curious about the Martial Will.
From the two of their battles, it seemed that the Martial Will incorporated their spiritual energy and soul, allowing attacks to target the soul. If an ordinary person were hit by a martial artist’s Martial Will, they could either become mentally unstable or die on the spot.
So, Qin Muye wanted it too. If his spirits could each have one, it would add extra damage.
"I need to have Black Hand collect the legacies of various secret martial arts schools. Since the spirits can mimic, they can blend in, and after a few decades, they could become the leaders of these schools. Then, they can have whatever they want." After some thought, Qin Muye found this plan quite feasible!
"Finally, I’m on the steam train. It seems the matter is over." Li Xiang sighed in relief.
Connecting the events before and after, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly: "I really am blind."
"From the beginning, I was probably being manipulated. The convenience store owner is definitely not an ordinary person. I didn’t misjudge the aura of a strong person. The reason he didn’t attack me wasn’t because he didn’t react, but because he found it beneath him to do so."
"The Yin Snake School people must have been misled, thinking I had taken something valuable from the convenience store. Otherwise, why would they try to intercept me?"
Li Xiang’s mind flashed with Qin Muye’s image, and the overwhelming aura that made him tremble caused his fists to clench so tightly that his veins bulged.
"Definitely a level above martial artists. The Mad Lion School probably doesn’t have anyone who can match him!"
As a genius of the Mad Lion School, Li Xiang knew that while there were elders stronger than him, none of them had the aura of a true strong person that the convenience store owner exuded.
"He’s so strong that he doesn’t even need to conceal his aura. I shouldn’t underestimate the world. Even a small place like Qingwu City can produce such a strong person, so there are likely many more hidden elsewhere. Fortunately, he doesn’t seem to care, otherwise, I might not have made it out of here after my earlier offense."
"Still, I won’t report this to the school. He’s living in seclusion here, clearly not wanting to be known. If I report it, I’ll offend him." Li Xiang knew his limits. Whether the person was in seclusion or had other plans, it wasn’t a reason for him to reveal it.
If he did, it might bring a disaster that could wipe out his entire family. So, he decided to act as if nothing had happened.
