Chapter 29: The Beggars' Clan's Lu Youjiao

  Chen Yunfeng's hand touched Zhao Tong's body and he immediately deployed the North Ming Divine Art. Just as he heard Zhao Tong let out a miserable cry of "Ah...", it suddenly stopped. Under the fiery light, Zhao Tong's body continued to convulse violently, and the internal energy that had been cultivated for over a decade flowed into Chen Yunfeng's body like a river reversing its flow from the Shoulder Well acupoint.

  After absorbing Zhao Tong's internal energy, Chen Yunfeng raised his finger and pointed at Zhao Tong's Jue Yin Acupoint. A surge of Jiuyang True Energy burst into the acupoint, instantly sealing off Zhao Tong's heart and lungs. Zhao Tong's eyes widened in shock as he struggled to breathe but was unable to do so. In almost an instant, he died with a faint cry stuck in his throat.

  "Haha...... Old Beggar Wang came out for a midnight stroll and stumbled upon a good show. Young man, your methods are a bit too ruthless, aren't they? We're all people of the jianghu, we should spare others when we can. Too much killing is never a good thing."

  Just as Chen Yunfeng was about to throw the corpse into the woods, a dry voice came from inside the woods. Upon hearing it, he knew it was an old beggar and that he should have run into someone from the Beggars' Sect. He threw the corpse on the ground, clasped his hands together and said in a low voice:

  "In the lower reaches of Xiangyang, Chen Yunfeng does not know which senior of the Beggar Clan is here. This person's name is Zhao Tong, also known as the Yellow-Browed Ghost. He has an older brother named Zhao Meng, also known as the Red-Browed Horse-Faced God. Today, while rushing back to Xiangyang, Zhao Meng blocked the road and robbed people, wanting to abduct my family members, so I killed him. This person chased all the way here, and had no choice but to eliminate future troubles. Does the senior know the identities of these two men?"

  Making things clear is not that Chen Yunfeng would worry about encountering a powerful opponent, but rather his plan involves almost every matter having connections with the Beggar Clan, and building good relations is the most important foundation.

  "Zhao Meng, Zhao Tong these two robbers?" The voice in the woods asked in surprise. Along with this voice, a figure jumped out of the woods. Chen Yunfeng smiled faintly and pushed forward a few steps, letting the firelight illuminate the corpse-like shape on the ground clearly. When the figure walked to the side of the corpse to observe, Chen Yunfeng finally saw the appearance of this old beggar.

  He was only in his forties, with a greasy patchwork of clothes on his body, holding a bamboo stick in his hand and eight messy little pouches hanging from his waist.

  "Eight Bags Elder, who is this person after all? Or is it the Polluted Clothes Sect's, but this person's footsteps are heavy and hidden, and they actually managed to sneak up on me without being discovered. They should be considered a top-notch expert." Chen Yunfeng thought to himself with a still calm smile on his face.

  The old beggar looked carefully and seemed to recall something after a while. He slapped his forehead hard and said loudly:

  "Haha... Little brother, Old Beggar wrongly accused you. These are indeed the Zhao brothers wanted by the authorities for execution. They deserve to die! Over the years, who knows how many innocent women have been ravaged and how many merchants have died at their hands? The Beggars' Sect has sent people searching everywhere but couldn't find any trace of them. Who would have thought they'd actually flee to Xiangyang?"

  Lao Jiaohua, the elder of the Beggar Clan, who was in charge of the clan's affairs in Xiangyang, had rushed over upon hearing the sound of fighting. He didn't expect that his younger brother had already killed off this scourge of the martial world who had been harming innocent civilians."

  Chen Yunfeng unexpectedly looked at the ordinary-looking Beggar Gang elder in front of him, who was supposed to be Huang Rong's chosen successor as the next leader of the gang. He had been murdered by Hao Du in the temple and was now a miserable supporting character. If he were still alive, there would be no Ye Lüqi taking over as the leader of the gang.

  "Mr. Lu, I've long heard of your great name and finally got to meet you in person. I've heard that the leader of your sect is usually on Peach Blossom Island, and most of the sect's affairs are maintained by you, Mr. Lu. It's really an honor for me to see you." Chen Yunfeng said with a bow.

  Lu had a cheerful personality and was diligent in his work, otherwise he wouldn't have been chosen by Huang Rong as a candidate for the position of leader. He shook his head with a smile, then tossed Zhao's corpse into the woods before saying:

  "As a member of the Beggar Clan, one must contribute to the clan. Old Beggar is doing what he should be doing. The leader dislikes trivial matters, so if I can handle it, there's no need to bother her with every little thing."

  By the way, little brother is from Xiangyang, and you should know that recently a madman appeared, who was 60 or 70 years old, spoke nonsense, and sometimes walked with his hands on the ground.

  Chen Yunfeng shook his head, for more than a year, apart from practicing martial arts, he had been searching for benefits everywhere, and didn't know that Ouyang Feng had actually been to Xiangyang. However, after careful consideration, there was less than a year's time before he would go to Zhongnan Mountain, so passing by here could be considered quite normal.

  "Since you've never seen him, let's just forget it. But if you ever meet this person, little brother, it's best to avoid him. He may be crazy, but his martial arts skills are among the top in the Jianghu, and he can kill with a single move." Lu Youjiao said in a low voice.

  Chen Yunfeng nodded, just about to invite Lu Youjiao to sit by the fire and chat, when a red smoke suddenly appeared in the distant sky. Seeing the smoke, Lu Youjiao hastily said:

  "Little brother, help with something urgent, talk again when you have time."

  Lu had just finished speaking when he saw him jump into the woods with a flip of his body, and the rustling of leaves gradually faded away. Chen Yunfeng slowly walked back to the fire pit and sat down.

  Simarinxing had never entered Jianghu before, and everything seemed very strange to her. She moved her body closer to Chenyunfeng and said:

  "Master, was that beggar just now from the Beggar Clan? His kung fu is quite good, why is he still begging for food?"

  "Heaven knows, the Beggars' Sect has existed for hundreds of years, with many skilled fighters within. However, they all make a living by begging. Most of them are hot-blooded men who often fight against invaders and constantly provide intelligence to the army."

  "Just be polite to them, and we don't need to bother with anything else. After returning home, you should study the pharmacopoeia diligently, who knows, you might become the female Hua Tuo and female Bian Que of our time." Chen Yunfeng said to Sima Lingxuan beside him.

  Simawei had already told him when they parted ways that Sima Lingxing was his personal maid, he could beat her, scold her, or even kill her, but he absolutely couldn't drive her away, otherwise this somewhat stubborn girl might just commit suicide.

  This personal maid is what Chen Yunfeng understands about this era, that is, his own bed warmer. Seeing Sima Lingxiao intentionally getting close to him, Chen Yunfeng wouldn't avoid her either. Anyway, sooner or later this girl would be his person, and being able to understand her more and cultivate her was also a very good pillow companion.

  Simar Lingxiao pouted her bright red small mouth and said:

  "Master, you said that if I can refine the Great Rejuvenation Pill or the Small Rejuvenation Pill, will I become a top-notch expert? Otherwise, when I see those experts, I can only hide aside."

  Chen Yunfeng had heard that the Shaolin Temple had both the Great Rejuvenation Pill and the Small Rejuvenation Pill. These two medicinal pills originated from the Taoist sect, but later only the Shaolin Buddhist temple had them. The Great Rejuvenation Pill could heal injuries and cure illnesses, although it couldn't bring people back to life, it could release a massive effect equivalent to sixty years of cultivation, which was indeed extraordinary. The Small Rejuvenation Pill had half the effect and was weaker, but it was also a rare and precious medicine that was hard to find in the world.
