Bone Changer: Dragon Supreme - C44
Suddenly, a shadow appeared on Feng En’s face.
“Master, what’s wrong?” Jiang Shuo asked with concern.
“When you were in the Raging Blade Sect, you used the Pulse Swallowing Divine Technique in public. With Wenren Qiang’s experience and vision, you would have seen through everything.” Feng En frowned as he thought about it, “But why isn’t he pointing it out in front of the crowd? Could it be that he is also deliberately hiding it?”
“The Pulse Swallowing Divine Art is related to the forbidden area. It’s possible that he doesn’t want to expose the secrets hidden within the forbidden area.” Jiang Shuo said.
The Raging Blade Sect disciple that delivered the food to Mo Xuanwu was guided by Wenren Qiang. Naturally, he knew that Mo Xuanwu was being held in the forbidden area.
Mo Xuanwu was famous for his Pulse Swallowing Divine Art. If the news of Jiang Shuo learning it in the forbidden area got out, the Raging Blade Sect would be destroyed instantly.
Feng En looked at Jiang Shuo, not asking for details.
He thought for a while and said, “I have heard that the inner force of the Meridian Consuming Divine Art is very strange. In order to be safe, when you are fully recovered, you can only practice some basic skills and not the inner force cultivation method.”
Jiang Shuo nodded.
From the moment he had learned the Pulse Devouring Divine Art, this problem had been lingering in Jiang Shuo’s mind. He had not expected Feng En to consider so much, and his heart warmed.
“Alright, take a good rest. As for the Dream Red Tower’s matters, let them go for now.” Jiang Shuo had just woken up, and didn’t want to tire him too much. Feng En turned and walked out of the room.
After Feng En left, Jiang Shuo was the only one left in the room. He was bored to death, so he just sat on the bed and practiced the Swallowing Pulse God Art.
He breathed in the air through his nose, circulated his body through his meridians, and slowly infused it into his dantian to refine it into zhenqi.
In the Raging Blade Sect, Jiang Shuo had suffered internal injuries during his fight with Chen Xian. At this moment, he was slowly recovering using the method of regulating his breathing.
He was using the Qi circulation method of the Pulse Swallowing Divine Art. The process of repairing the meridians was fast, but the amount of true energy required was enormous. Relying on Jiang Shuo’s simple breathing was not enough.
Even though Jiang Shuo had deliberately slowed down his pace, he still found it difficult to make ends meet.
In the end, all the cells in Jiang Shuo’s body were like hungry infants, desperately demanding for true energy.
Jiang Shuo worked hard to meet the needs of every part of his body. After struggling for a long time, he was finally unable to bear the burden and had no choice but to give up.
“Whooosh.”
Jiang Shuo slowly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of impure air, his forehead already soaked with sweat.
He didn’t even manage to persevere past 49 cycles. He turned his head to look at the incense burner in the room. He didn’t even last half an incense stick of time.
“This Pulse Swallowing Divine Art is indeed difficult.” He wiped the sweat from his forehead and mumbled to himself.
Ordinary inner force cultivation methods could restore one’s energy and accumulate true qi. However, this Pulse Swallowing Divine Art also felt refreshed, but it consumed a great deal of one’s physical strength.
With his mouth wide open, Jiang Shuo felt his throat become hoarse and dry.
Before Feng En left, he placed a cup of water on the tea table beside the bed.
Jiang Shuo picked it up and drank, but he didn’t feel any thirst. In his heart, he had an intuition that only true qi would be able to remove the discomfort.
This idea came out, springing up like a bamboo shoot after the rain, quickly filling Jiang Shuo’s entire brain.
Suddenly, Jiang Shuo’s mind wavered, actually having a strong desire.
Jiang Shuo was surprised and took two deep breaths to calm his heart.
That unfamiliar impulse almost controlled Jiang Shuo’s consciousness. Thinking back to the scene just now, he couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine.
“Haste makes waste. Looks like I can’t excessively cultivate this Pulse Swallowing Divine Art.” Jiang Shuo thought to himself, but did not dare to advance recklessly.
In the next few days, Jiang Shuo purposely restrained himself from cultivating. He didn’t have the same situation as before, which made him feel a little relieved.
After lying in bed for two days, Jiang Shuo was able to get off the ground and move.
Although the wound in his abdomen still throbbed faintly, he was able to perform simple movements.
In addition to his daily life and practice, Jiang Shuo had nothing else to do, so he would take a walk near his room.
Strangely, Yu Han, who came once a day, had been busy these past few days, and Jiang Shuo couldn’t see her.
On this day, Jiang Shuo took advantage of Li Zicheng’s arrival to deliver the food and asked, “Why haven’t I seen Yu Han in the past few days?”
Previously, Jiang Shuo had always called Yu Han Lady Yu Han, or Yu Shi Shi Shi, but later on at her own strong request, he changed his mind.
“She …” Li Zi Cheng hesitated for a moment, then smiled and patted Jiang Shuo on the shoulder, “What else could she do? Of course she would be busy with the disease outside the city.”
“Blight?” Jiang Shuo raised his eyebrows, catching the glint in Li Zicheng’s eyes, “The plague has already been here for more than half a month. Even if there are more victims outside the city, there’s no need for her to go personally.” Tell me honestly what she’s been up to these days. ”
“This, this …” Although Li Zicheng was an astute person, Jiang Shuo was his best friend. When he cheated, his heart would suffer, and he would inevitably be exposed.
Seeing Li Zicheng stuttering, Jiang Shuo was sure that something was up.
He grabbed Li Zi Cheng’s wrist and asked: “Is it the Baihua Sect, or something big happened in Yu Lin City?”
In the face of Jiang Shuo’s aggressive question, Li Zi Cheng avoided his eyes, gritted his teeth and said nothing.
“Alright, stop asking him. I was worried about your body and wanted you to rest. That’s why I didn’t let him tell you.” Just as Jiang Shuo wanted to ask more, a voice came from outside the house. Immediately after, Feng En came in through the door.
Li Zi Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.
Letting go of Li Zicheng’s hand, Jiang Shuo looked at Feng En and asked curiously, “Master, what is going on?”
Feng En looked up and down Jiang Shuo’s body, nodding slightly. He was satisfied with his recovery, and then said, “Even if I didn’t say it, you would have guessed it, the Dream Red Tower disciples have been killed again.”
Jiang Shuo narrowed his eyes, he could guess what was going on, but Li Zi Cheng’s overreaction made him realize that this was not a simple matter. “I don’t understand.”
“This time, ten people died at the same time!” Feng En said solemnly.
“Ten?” Jiang Shuo was shocked. This was not the first time he had ambushed a lone disciple. The quality of the disciples in Meng Hong Lou was very high. The fighting capacity of a ten-man team was not bad, if they wanted to kill a lone disciple, they would need a powerful force. “Then we should have more clues, right?”
“That’s right, the killer and the ten Dream Red Tower disciples had a huge battle. Although it is called a big battle, from the looks of it, it seems more like a one-sided massacre. ” Remembering the miserable deaths of the ten disciples, Feng En’s eyes darkened, “Although the culprit’s strength is outstanding, it’s hard to avoid leaving behind clues. According to the wounds of the deceased, the murderer could be determined to be a person who specialized in claw arts, but that was all. Also, this time, the ten corpses’ bones were not missing. The murderer’s goal is different from the previous few times, it is more like pure revenge. ”
Jiang Shuo immediately thought of something and said, “Could it be the Raging Blade Sect? After all, not long ago, we just finished making a ruckus in the restricted area of the Raging Blade Sect.”
“Lady Liu and I also considered that, but the possibility was very low.” Feng En replied, “Firstly, the Raging Blade Sect specializes in sabers, and only Great Uncle and Wenren Qiang are able to achieve that. Secondly, the Raging Blade Sect is not so stupid. But according to your previous investigation, the person who destroyed the corpse and destroyed all traces is most likely a Raging Blade Sect disciple. This can only prove that there might be some sort of close relationship between the Raging Blade Sect and the culprit. ”
Jiang Shuo nodded. Feng En’s speculations were similar to his own.
“Ah, yes!” Jiang Shuo suddenly thought of something, his eyes immediately lighting up. “There must be a reason behind the previous extermination of the corpse. If we investigate the corpse, we will definitely get it.”
Halfway through his words, Jiang Shuo suddenly thought of Yu Yuhan, who had disappeared recently. “Could it be that Yu Yuhan …”
“Yes, she is responsible for dissecting the body and investigating the secrets hidden on it. Fearing that the last time would happen again, she was with the body in a rather secluded place. ” Feng En nodded.
Jiang Shuo thought that his guess was right. He got up and took his coat off the wooden frame, and then put it on.
“Jiang Shuo, what are you doing?” Li Zi Cheng asked curiously.
“I’ve been holding myself back in this room for so long, I almost suffocated. I’ll go to the Dream Red Chamber to take a look.” While he was speaking, Jiang Shuo had finished dressing.
“But your body …” Li Zi Cheng was worried.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.” Jiang Shuo waved his hand dismissively.
Li Zi Cheng wanted to continue persuading him, but was stopped by Feng En’s gaze.
Feng En looked at Jiang Shuo and said, “You can help advise, but if you have any problems, you don’t need to stick your neck out. After all, your injury is still not healed.”
“Disciple has remembered.” Jiang Shuo thanked Feng En for his understanding, and bowed respectfully.
“This is the information gathered from a friend in the forest. That’s why all the martial artists that used Eagle Claw martial arts are here.” Feng En took out a thin piece of paper tied with string and handed it to Jiang Shuo.
Jiang Shuo took it and flipped through it, only to see that it was densely packed with words.
After each name, the sect history about this person was recorded. Although it was impossible to explain everything in detail, it was still extremely rare.
At this moment, Jiang Shuo suddenly turned to the last page. At the end of the page was a person’s name, but it had been crossed out by another layer of ink, leaving nothing behind.
Jiang Shuo looked carefully, he could vaguely make out that the other party’s surname was “Gu”, and was named “Ming”.
“Gu Ming?” Jiang Shuo murmured the other party’s name, then looked up and asked curiously, “There is no repetition of this Ancient Nether, so why did you write it down?”
Feng En was curious and asked casually, but unexpectedly, Feng En’s expression changed and he didn’t answer.
“Master?” Jiang Shuo asked carefully.
“Ah, nothing.” Feng En’s expression returned to normal as he said lightly, “The only reason why you’ve struck it down is because ‘Gu Ming’ is our Hundred Flowers Sect’s Sect Leader.”
