Chapter 67: Additional Tasks

Chapter 67 Additional Tasks In the canyon river channel which was about 2 meters wide, the river water suddenly churned as if awakened, and two heads emerged from the water one after another. The wet Wu Jinliang shouted: "Spring, there is something in the water!" There was no need for him to remind him, Shi Chun had already jumped out of the water onto the cliff, climbed on the rock wall and looked up. Not only was there something in the water, there was something on the shore as well. Two rows of people occupied both sides of the river, looking at them as if they were fools. Almost all of those people were wearing chestnut-colored uniforms, and one could tell at a glance that they were all from Wukang Mountain. Wu Jinliang, who had climbed up the cliff, looked up and remained speechless. In the land of exile, the difference in everyone's cultivation is not that big, the worst that can happen is that you fight your way out. But here, there is no chance of fighting, you can only die. There was a splash in the water, and the heads of two giant pythons emerged from the water, staring at the two little guys on the stone wall with greedy eyes. The dark and huge bodies were surging under the water. More and more people were coming to both sides of the shore, queuing up to watch the two people in the "伊" character costume climbing on the stone wall. Among them were Duan You and Zou Xingbao, who were both angry and annoyed. In this situation, the two people who were climbing on the stone wall with water dripping on them felt a little numb. This was not a good opportunity to escape. They both realized that they might have misunderstood something. "The sect leader is still waiting for a reply." Someone issued an order.

Immediately, a group of Wukangshan disciples with high martial arts levels jumped down. Seeing the ferocious enemy, Shi Chun shouted, "Let's talk it over!" You've been caught, who's going to talk to you? What were you doing before? You made everyone run around. Someone kicked you in the head and into the water. Before you were completely in the water, someone grabbed your ankle and pulled you out, and threw you directly onto the shore. Wu Jinliang was not much better off; he was dragged up by someone holding his neck. After the two men came up, they were surrounded and beaten with fists and kicks to vent their anger. They were beaten so hard that their mouths and noses were bleeding, their faces were bruised and their clothes were torn. They were beaten so hard that they covered their heads and curled up. Then their cultivation was restrained and they were taken away like two dead dogs. The crowd then dispersed. An escape incident that happened suddenly and ended quickly ended here. On the cliff, almost all the high-ranking members of the sect were present. They climbed up and looked into the distance, wanting to see what kind of people the two daring guys were and why they thought that the location of the Wukang Mountain Sect was a place where outsiders could come and go as they pleased. In fact, they were really a little worried. If someone really escaped, Wukang Mountain would become a joke. Seeing the team returning from the mountain, the senior executives breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the criminal should have been caught. If they could not get any more news, some of the senior executives present would probably have to personally participate in the arrest. Pang Tiansheng, the manager of the Punishment Court, was so angry that he picked up a carrying pole and wanted to hit someone, but he was not qualified to stand forward. He had just been scolded by the clan leader. He had just handed the person over to him, but he ran away. Who else should he scold? The closer they were to his own people, the more harshly he scolded them. He really scolded them in front of everyone and made them lose face. Naturally, he hated Shi Chun and the others and was ready to take them back to the Punishment Court and give them a good beating. Soon, Shi Chun and the other man, who had been beaten horribly, were brought before a group of senior executives. The two men choked on blood in front of everyone and indeed suffered internal injuries. Bian Weiying, who was in the crowd, was surprised and puzzled when he saw this. They really ran away. Was it because he had misjudged them? Elder Xia Fuli tightened his lips. "Reporting to the Sect Master, the two fugitives from the Punishment Court have been captured!" The Wukangshan disciple who led the team bowed and reported. Bian Jixiong walked with his hands behind his back up to the two captured people and looked at them. Immediately, someone grabbed Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang's hair and pulled them back, exposing their faces for the sect leader to admire. The senior executives thought that these two people were indeed different from others, not because of their miserable appearance, but because they were very dark.

Under normal circumstances, Bian Jixiong would not even be interested in taking a look at this level of scum, but at this moment he asked in confusion: "Why did you two want to escape?" It's a completely puzzling question. With that level of cultivation and strength, and being unfamiliar with the place, how dare he ignore the internal and external security forces of Wukang Mountain? Shi Chun, who was unable to move, glanced at the crowd and saw Xia Fuli's expression. He realized that something might have gone wrong, so he blurted out, "If you want to kill us, we will naturally run away." This made people even more curious. Wu Jinliang also looked at Shi Chun, wondering what Shi Chun was going to say. Bian Jixiong asked: "Who said I wanted to kill you?" "Ahem." Shi Chun coughed up some blood foam again, and then said loudly: "It's bad enough that they forced us to work, but they didn't even let us wear shoes and socks, and they deliberately forced us to run around barefoot in the mountains. What else can they do if not to kill us?" Wu Jinliang immediately got angry when he heard this, and shouted: "Yes, they even deliberately threw stones on the ground to hit our feet. What else can they do if not to kill us?" Everyone looked at the two people's feet and found that they were indeed barefoot. I don't know if he got lost while escaping, so I have to confirm this. Bian Jixiong shouted, "Pang Tiansheng!" "Oh, here I am." Pang Tiansheng's fat figure immediately squeezed out from the crowd, looking a bit weak, like a mouse seeing a cat. Bian Jixiong asked in a deep voice: "You don't give them shoes to wear, but ask them to work, is that right?" Pang Tiansheng suddenly looked troubled. He wanted to say that the person was not wearing shoes when Elder Xia handed him over. But when he looked at Elder Xia who was at the scene, he didn't know what to say. The key point was that it would not make sense to say it. Elder Xia did not give it to him. Did he ask you not to give him shoes? Also, if he dared to bite Elder Xia at this time, Elder Xia would be fine, but his master, the sect leader, would be even more angry and would punish him even more miserably. It would be better to bite the bullet and admit it, so he said weakly: "Shoes, I forgot." They really don't even give them shoes to wear and are forced to work barefoot. Many people looked at each other in confusion. Of course, many people can understand this and know that this fat man has a good relationship with Wei Bian. Bian Jixiong's face darkened, and he asked Wu Jinliang, "Who deliberately threw stones on the ground to hit you? Point it out." Although Wu Jinliang was beaten to a pulp, he still said confidently, "I don't even know anyone from Wukang Mountain, so how would I know?" It was enough to just understand what was going on. Bian Jixiong did not pursue the matter further. What would happen if he found out the perpetrator? There was a reason for the incident, and it was difficult for him as the leader to deal with it. He did not know who the victim was, so he just let it go. He turned around and said goodbye to the senior management and left. Before leaving, Elder Xia specifically instructed that Shi Chun and the other two be taken away to heal their wounds. When they arrived at the gate of the Penal Court, Pang Tiansheng, who was carrying a shoulder pole, still wanted to teach Shi Chun and the other two a lesson. However, they were not handed over to the Penal Court at all. After passing the gate of the Penal Court, they were sent to jail again. Later he received a punishment notice, and the clan leader personally ordered that three months' salary be confiscated from him. He was so angry that he smashed the carrying pole. He didn't know who he had offended, and it seemed like he had done nothing wrong. He took out his anger on Duan You and Zou Xingbao, scolding them severely and punishing them to make up for the task of fetching water that Shi Chun and the other two had done before. At Anle Inn, the waiter knocked on Xiang Lan'er's door and saw Bian Weikang was there. He asked if the room needed cleaning, which gave Xiang Lan'er a hint. So after Xiang Lan'er sent the waiter away, she also sent Bian Weikang away. Soon, Feng Chi, covered in a cloak, arrived. There was no need to talk around between her and Xiang Lan'er. After meeting, she whispered directly, "Miss, there was just news from above that we have been given some new tasks." Xiang Lan'er frowned slightly, "The current affairs are not yet settled. Didn't you ask us to focus on Wukang Mountain and not take care of other things?" Feng Chi smiled and said, "This is only true for you, young lady. If it were someone else, the higher-ups would only ask them to follow the instructions and would not tell them the details behind the scenes. Over in the land of exile, the higher-ups had discovered some new circumstances when they were digging deeper into the details of Shi Chun and Wu Jin. The relationship between Shi Chun and Bowang Tower should not be as simple as Shi Chun's unilateral pursuit of Lan Qiaoyan's daughter. According to investigation, before the two men left the prison, they were accused of stealing in the city at the gate of Bowang Tower and were arrested on the spot by the city guards. When the incident happened, Wu Jinliang shouted "mother" towards Bowang Tower, asking for help.

Then I found out some interesting things. After the two were captured by the city guards, Lan Qiaoyan also went to the inner city of Zhixu City. Later, the two people who were thought to be doomed to die came out alive, while the one who testified that the two had stolen disappeared. " Xiang Lan'er was surprised and asked, "Lan Qiaoyan is Wu Jinliang's mother? Was it Lan Qiaoyan who saved them?" Feng Chi: "It's unlikely that she is her biological mother. This is also the most interesting part. Some people say that Wu Jinliang has long recognized Lan Qiaoyan as his godmother, but Lan Qiaoyan denied this, but she allowed Shi Chun to have contact with her daughter. Shengyu is different from other places. Bowang Tower does not intervene in the affairs of the city guards in Shengyu, but Lan Qiaoyan seems to have made an exception for these two people. He didn't enter the inner city earlier or later, but just after the two people were caught. Then the two people who were said to be doomed to die came out alive. Could this be a coincidence? It was also found out that the two Shi Chuns in Bowang Tower of Zhaotian City were under Dong Jiuyuan's command and were also recommended to Bowang Tower by Lan Qiaoyan. It was also found that Shi Chun and the other two were released from the Prison of Life together with the delivery team of Bowang Tower. Judging from the time, it was impossible for them to reach Zhaotian City in such a short time with their cultivation. They should have been sent directly to Zhaotian City by the delivery team of Bowang Tower, and Lan Qiaoyan's daughter happened to be transferred to Bowang Tower in Zhaotian City before that." Xiang Lan'er said thoughtfully, "So, the relationship between these two people and Lan Qiaoyan is indeed extraordinary." Feng Chi: "Lan Qiaoyan's husband holds a high position in Bowang Tower, and the higher-ups are very interested in the relationship between the two and Bowang Tower. They said that Bowang Tower is far more valuable than Wukang Mountain. What they mean is that no matter whether Shi Chun is a scattered demon or from some other lineage, both of them are worth developing, so it is necessary to continue to find out their purpose for coming to Wukang Mountain, and this will not have much impact on the young lady's plan to take over Wukang Mountain."
