Chapter 163 News
Xue Caiyi was kneeling on the ground, her hair scattered and her eyes dull. Her once smooth and shiny skin also showed signs of fatigue.
She had been kneeling for two days and two nights.
Yang Ziyu's condition was not much better, his eyes were dull and his body was shaky.
Even though they have a solid foundation in martial arts, they can't bear the repeated questioning, scolding, and deprivation of food and drink.
"What happened at that time?"
The person who asked the question had a dignified face, and his voice came down from top to bottom, with an unquestionable tone.
The two of them had answered similar questions countless times. This time it was Xue Caiyi's turn. She replied repeatedly without thinking:
"That night, we heard an argument coming from Brother Minzhou's room. The sound was chaotic, and then there were sounds of fighting."
"When we arrived, Senior Brother Jinzhou had been killed, and Qin Wuying jumped out of the window and escaped without a trace."
"Are you sure it's Qin Wuying?" the voice asked.
"The clothes and figure are very similar, but we didn't see the front." Xue Caiyi said:
"But that night, senior brother mentioned that he would meet with Qin Wuying, but he didn't say what he was going to do. The person who can kill senior brother must be a black iron master."
"Nine times out of ten, it's him!"
"Well..." The voice paused and asked again:
"What did you guys do that day? What did Minafune say to you? Let me tell you everything."
"Yes." Xue Caiyi lowered his head and said in a muffled voice:
"That morning, we woke up from the inn and went to visit Senior Brother Minzhou as usual..."
"I went to Feng Laiju at noon and met the second young lady of the Su family. On the way, I met Mr. He from the Yamen and the wealthy businessman Jia Wan..."
"At night..."
"Is there anything suspicious about Jia Wan?" After she finished speaking, the voice spoke again.
"No?"
"Why?"
"Although the Jia family has black iron, it may not be a match for my senior brother, and it is even less possible for him to kill people and then escape through the window in just a few moments."
"Where is Zhou Jia?"
"The kongkong grass and black bamboo in his yard are the work of the Xu family of the inner sect. We have checked and found that he has indeed nothing to do with this matter, but the senior brother dislikes him very much. He once said that the person named Zhou is arrogant and arrogant. He is arrogant and will be taught a lesson sooner or later.”
"Is it possible that he colluded with Tianshui Village?"
"Zhou Jia is an ascetic cultivator. Although he is not likeable, he does not look like a traitor, and there is no reason."
"Yeah."
There was silence.
a long time.
"You two are to blame for Mikao's death. Kneel down here and wait for him to die."
"Yes."
The footsteps gradually moved away. Xue Caiyi and Yang Ziyu looked at each other, looking at each other's haggard appearance with wry smiles on their faces.

Kirishima.
Di Shensi, the law enforcement elder of Tianshui Village, sat at the head, with more than a dozen people kneeling on His Highness.
A dull atmosphere echoed in the city.
Di Shensi has been in charge of the execution hall for decades, and it seems that he has never been as angry as today, with his big eyes staring like bells.
"Okay, very good!"
"Qin Wuying has really managed Kirishima's operations perfectly. Even now, you guys are still protecting him. What a great job!"
"It seems that this Kirishima is not the Kirishima of Tianshui Village, but his Qin Wuying's territory!"
"Elder." A person bowed his head below:
"We did not lie to the elders, the helmsman is indeed not here!"
"If he's not here, where is he?" Di Shensi growled:
"Is it possible that, as you said, the man named Qin was also killed, and someone deliberately framed him?"
"This..." Someone showed hesitation:
"It may not be impossible."
"Peng!"
A heavy object hit the speaker hard.
Di Shensi's face was full of anger:
"I don't know that this is possible, but do you think the people from the Tianhu Gang are willing to believe it? Will the people from Xiaolang Island listen to your explanation?"
There was silence.
"I want to check Kirishima's secret vault."
Di Shensi glanced at everyone and said coldly:
"Whether he did it or not, Kirishima needs to take responsibility. Take out the contents and see if he can calm Xiaolangdao's anger."
He is not afraid of the Tianhu Gang.
But behind the Tianhu Gang is Xiaolang Island, which is one of the thirty-six branches of the Outer Sect, the Jinhuang Lineage, and behind Xiaolang Island is the Xuantian Alliance.
"Elder."
One person gritted his steel teeth and whispered:
"The helmsman has ordered that the secret vault cannot be opened without his permission, and the core key to the secret vault is no longer with us."
"Trash!" Di Shensi roared:
"A bunch of idiots!"
"At this point, unexpectedly..."
"Damn it!"
He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, but he also knew that Kirishima had its own special characteristics. It had always been controlled by the Qin family, and even Tianshui Village could not interfere.
The people on the island only know the Qin family but not Tianshui Village.
"Boom!"
A loud noise came from outside, making everyone in the hall look at each other in shock.
what happened?
"It's not good!"
At this time, a member of the Tianshui Village gang hurriedly came from outside:
"Elder, what's wrong, people from the Tianhu Gang suddenly appeared nearby and are attacking the martial arts. The leader seems to be Qiu Bowei, the deputy leader of the Tianhu Gang!"
"What?"
"How could it be?"
In an instant, the place was in chaos.

The turtle-shell body's name is unremarkable, even a bit cheesy, but this skill is a genuine innate martial arts.
When it comes to rank, it is even better than Tieyuan Shen.
The iron body is perfect, and its strength covers every inch of skin and flesh, as if it has an extra layer of flexible and elastic iron armor, and its defense power is greatly increased.
And the tortoise shell body.
It is the result of understanding the profound power of the black turtle. When it reaches its peak, the whole body seems to be protected by precious armor, with strength as strong as a mountain, steady and heavy.
When the force is activated, the whole person shrinks into the turtle shell. Unless the attack power is several times the defense power, it will be difficult to hurt the person inside.
The key is that activating this skill consumes very little source power.
Moreover, this great achievement also has the effect of increasing lifespan to a certain extent.
Zhou Jia closed his eyes, and the Tieyuan body slowly merged into the turtle body. A brand new body-refining skill appeared on the light curtain of the sea of consciousness.
Iron body!
"Well..."
Opening his eyes, Zhou Jia was thoughtful.
Different from the blessing of the weapon's characteristics, although the newly formed armored body combines two martial arts, its grade has not been improved.
It can only be said that it is similar to a tortoise shell.
The only advantage is that you don't have to abandon the foundation laid by Tieyuan Shen to practice an innate physical training skill to the mastery stage.
drug.
The same applies, which is not unexpected.
Otherwise, we would have to abandon the Iron Body and start cultivating the Tortoise Body from scratch.
"Tumo Vine, Golden Grass, Three Treasures of Cutting Marrow, the Inner Gum of Bear and Tiger..."
"You can buy the gall bladders of ferocious beasts at shops in the city, and the spiritual plant seeds. Let Sanshui inquire about some of them. There should be some on the island."
"Taking the elixir internally, I wonder if Tieyuanshen's medicated bath will still be effective?"
"If yes, a two-pronged approach will be more effective!"
…………
It was just dawn.
Zhou Jia's figure has appeared in the library garden.
He held a broom and duster in his hands, cleaning the dust in the building bit by bit.
Since childhood.
Zhou Jia likes to read books, all kinds of books, from comics and martial arts at the beginning, to classics and literary classics later.
Even language.
Later, I chose my major based on my own preferences.
Many people get confused and drowsy when they read a book, but for him, he could read without eating or drinking for a day or two.
There are thousands of books in the Library Garden. For others, cleaning this place must be a hard job.
But he can enjoy it.
Sweep the dust off the book, open a few pages at random, take a few more glances if you are interested, scan them once if you are not interested, and continue cleaning.
Before I knew it, it was broad daylight.
Li Li, who was on crutches, appeared on the first floor at some point, lying on a rickety stool, bathing in the sunshine from the sky.
The halo of light shines through the cracks in the door and onto the ground, revealing the dust and insects flying inside.
The two of them were silent and moving, each enjoying themselves.
I don’t know how long.
Zhou Jia put away the broom and dust and said goodbye to Mo Li.
"Boy."
Mo Li narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke lazily:
"You seem to be a good fit here. If you become a black iron in the future, you might as well come over and take over my class. How about coming to the Library Garden to take charge?"
"It's really nice here. The environment is quiet, no one disturbs you, and there are so many books to read." Zhou Jia paused for a moment, then shook his head:
"But it is still early for the younger generation to achieve black iron."
"Boy, you don't have to be humble." Li Li glanced at him and said:
"Even if you have practiced the Breath Condensation Technique, the energy and blood in your body are surprisingly strong. There are not many younger people on the island who can surpass you."
"As long as your luck is not too bad, you can definitely achieve black iron."
As he spoke, he adjusted his sitting posture slightly and said:
"This is a good place. Every year Xuantian Alliance has new martial arts secrets and even breakthroughs in martial arts, they will make a copy and send it to them."
"If you can gain something from it, or even comprehend a new method, you can even directly enter the inner gate and enter the Tianya Shuhai Tower."
"The people there, even...the Silver Powerful Man, will not be offended."
Zhou Jia's eyes changed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
The name of Tianya Shuhai Tower is similar to a gathering place for scientific academicians on Earth. Everyone in it is a famous big shot.
Their cultivation may not be high, but their understanding of martial arts must be at the master level.
All of them are inherited treasures of the Dalin Dynasty.
Today is different from the past.
Nowadays, those who can enter the world of books all have real abilities. Even the silver experts will go to ask for advice.
This kind of people, with a little effort, can cultivate several black irons.
Zhou Jia has the talent of knowing the sea light curtain and wielding weapons. If he is willing, he can definitely achieve original martial arts by integrating many techniques.
It is indeed possible to enter Tianya Shuhai Tower.
And once you enter here, the many disputes outside will never fall on you.
Xuantian Alliance will never allow trivial matters to disturb those who come to Tianya Shuhai Tower. Each of their time is extremely precious.
If you can get into it.
There is no need to worry about martial arts skills anymore, just practice them wholeheartedly.
"Are you excited?"
Li Qiye chuckled:
"In Tianya Shuhai Tower, you can not only view all the true traditions of the thirty-six meridians, but also see the secret methods of other ethnic groups."
"The tortoise shell body has traces of the mind training methods of Fei Mu world, and the Golden Jade Skill has integrated the secret methods of several ethnic groups."
"Even..."
"The inheritance left by some extinct golden ethnic groups can also be seen."
"Gold?" Zhou Jia's eyes moved slightly:
"Is there a golden race in the world?"
"Of course." Mo Li rolled his eyes and said:
"It's just extinct."
Then he spoke slowly:
"There is a rumor that is widely circulated among the people. It is said that you should never try to break through the silver, otherwise the clan will be punished by heaven."
"When there are creatures in a certain ethnic group that break through the gold, then this ethnic group is not far away from extinction!"
"But..." Zhou Jia frowned:
"Juniors heard that some existences are born to be gold-level existences."
"Not bad." Mo Li nodded:
"Existences like that are exceptions. Perhaps it is precisely because they are born with gold that they fall into the world of ruins and are not punished by God."
"But those who were not originally had to suffer this disaster."
"Has no ethnic group ever succeeded?" Zhou Jia asked.
"From the news about our Xuantian Alliance's contact." Mo Li shook his head:
"No!"
As he spoke, he looked troubled.
Judging from some of the manuscripts printed and distributed by the court during this period, it seems that the person wanted to try something, but was severely stopped by others.
The dispute is vaguely visible in the newspapers.
The military was furious.
The Zhenwu Army withdrew the garrison in Death Canyon, attracting hundreds of millions of ferocious beasts to move south. Several large cities were destroyed, and the two outer gates of Xuantian Alliance were almost wiped out.
Now, there is still a lot of trouble.
Zhou Jia said goodbye and left.
For him, silver and gold are too far away and out of reach.
Black iron is something that can truly be touched.
day to day.
I dusted myself in the morning and read books in the evening. At other times, I stayed in my courtyard to practice. I even gradually gave up on going out to the island to fish.
Sanshui will bring news collected by Wen Zhong from time to time.
Because of Yang Jinzhou's death, the Tianhu Gang launched an attack on Tianshui Village. In seven days, Kirishima was destroyed, and only six of the eight branches of Tianshui Village remained.
Half a month later.
Two black iron masters from Tianshui Village were killed by Lei Batian.
Xue Hu, the head of the Xue family on Xiaolang Island and a strong man in the late Black Iron period, appeared on the battlefield, forcing Tianshui Village to retreat continuously, and the city lord's palace failed to negotiate.
The Su family's attitude is ambiguous.
With the support of Xiaolangdao, the Tianhu Gang has repeatedly won on the battlefield. The situation in Tianshui Village is not good, and the basic market has shown instability.
Between the two forces, Tianshui Village was originally at a disadvantage.
now.
With the support of Xiaolangdao, the outcome seems to be doomed.
The disturbances from the outside world have not broken Zhou Jia's peaceful life. He is now focused on practicing and waiting for news from Xu Xiuzhi.
Until one day...
"Super quality?"
Zhou Jia raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Sanshui:
"Are you sure?"
"OK." Sanshui nodded heavily and said:
"Deacon Wen specifically gave instructions, saying that in order to completely defeat Tianshui Village this time, the gang gave out many treasures as rewards to the gang members."
"Among them, there are two super-quality sources."
"It really does." Zhou Jia nodded:
"I know."
One day later.
Zhou Jia appeared at the place where the Tianhu Gang was responsible for internal affairs.
"Elder Han."
He handed over to one of them:
"How do you feel about my proposal?"
"Thirty Source Crystals." Elder Han gently stroked his beard and said slowly:
"A bit low."
"The price is easy to talk about." Zhou Jia said:
"As long as you give me a piece of super quality, we can talk again."
"This is the reward that the gang leader promised to give out. I'm afraid it's inappropriate if someone finds out that the package has been swapped." Elder Han frowned and said with a puzzled face:
"Actually, with Brother Zhou's strength, if you go to fight on the front line, it shouldn't be difficult to get it. I feel that one of these super-quality essences may have been prepared for you."
"Too dangerous." Zhou Jia said with a serious face:
"Zhou has never liked taking risks, and he doesn't like trouble. If it can be solved with money, it is best to use money."
"Ha..." Elder Han smiled faintly, but in his heart he despised Sanlian.
If you are timid, you are timid. How can you not like taking risks?
"Fifty source crystals!"
He stretched out his hand and said:
"Fifty source crystals, I can guarantee that one of the super-grade source crystals will definitely be delivered to Brother Zhou's hands when the time comes."
"Within a month!" (End of this chapter)
