Xu Qingchen was a little confused: the three people in front of him obviously only had a mutual relationship, so what were they doing to stop him? But now that he was on Yeyu Xiaozhu's property, it was inconvenient to argue, so he had no choice but to accept the invitation and sit at the table of the three people.

Xu Qingchen asked in a low voice: "Who are the three?"

Agarwood tree replied expressionlessly: "Thorn Gate."

The Thorns Sect, Xu Qingchen heard mentioned by the guards of the Yao Mansion, was one of the few absolutely upright gangs in the world. Therefore, the words "Brambles Sect" made Xu Qingchen lower his guard a little.

"I wonder what the three of you are doing here?"

Chen Xiangzhi said straight to the point: "You want to seek revenge from Ye Yu Xiaozhu."

Xu Qingchen didn't answer. After all, he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, so he couldn't reveal too much about his intentions.

Agarwood continued: "I advise you not to be impulsive. You can't do anything alone."

"Some things must be done."

"A gentleman's revenge is never too late."

After Agarwood said that, he took out a wooden sign from his cuff. The wooden sign was simple in shape, with a word engraved on each side. The front was "Jing" and the back was "thorn". Agarwood pushed the wooden sign to Xu Qingchen and said : "With this badge, come to me at the Thorn Gate."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and said to Yang Fan and Xiong San: "Let's go."

"Hey!" Xu Qingchen called to the three of them. He originally wanted to ask, "Why do I have to go to the Thorn Gate to find you?" But when the words came to his lips, he changed to, "What's the girl's name?"

Agarwood branch looked back at him and replied: "Agarwood branch."

"I'm Xu Qingchen."

"I took note of it."

After Chen Xiangzhi finished speaking, he left with Xiong San and Yang Fan, leaving Xu Qingchen alone in shock.

Yang Fan asked: "Master, what do you mean?"

"Yang Fan, you are a smart man, I won't hide it from you. I came to Luzhou this time to investigate Ye Yu Xiaozhu. In the next few years or more than ten years, the Thorn Gate will use all its power to uproot Ye Yu Xiaozhu."

Although he had thought of this answer for a long time, Yang Fan still got goosebumps when he actually said it from Chen Xiangzhi's mouth. Uprooting Ye Yu Xiaozhu was not just a matter of words.

Chen Xiangzhi continued: "Ye Yu Xiaozhu's forces in the world are so intricate that the Thorn Sect alone cannot do it, so I want to unite all like-minded people. There are many people in the sect who are dissatisfied with me, and I can't mobilize all the people yet. The power of the Thorn Gate needs long-term consideration."

When Chen Xiangzhi said this, he obviously regarded Yang Fan as one of his own.

Yang Fan smiled bitterly and replied: "Master, is this what the old master meant?"

"That's what I mean. Old Sect Master Qiao is just cooperating with me."

"Master, who are you?"

"Just a fisherman's girl."

"The sect master doesn't want to say anything, so he naturally has his own ideas."

"That's right... we will leave the city later. You two will return to the Thorn Gate first. I will not be here during this period. Master Feng has the final say in matters within the gate. Yang Fan, you are responsible for assisting Master Feng."

"Master, where are you going?"

"Go meet someone."

Xiong San was confused when he heard this, but he understood one thing: Thorn Gate, we will have a fight with Ye Yu Xiaozhu in the future.

…

"Is there someone seeking revenge?" Chen Zijue's eyebrows knitted into knots after hearing the report from his subordinates, "Who is he?"

"He's in his early twenties, and I don't know how good his martial arts skills are. I heard from the brother who was following me that this man showed up last night."

Chen Zijue closed his eyes and thought for a while: "Just now... did this person meet Agarwood?"

"Yes."

"What did we talk about?"

"Not sure."

"Where's the agarwood man?"

"They have left the city."

"How many people are currently in the city?"

"Twenty-three people, five at the top, eight at the middle, and ten at the bottom."

"Everyone comes forward and kill this man!"

Chen Zijue had a bad premonition and believed in his own. If this young man hadn't been stopped by Agarwood, he would have probably broken in by now. It would be a disaster for such a courageous enemy to remain alive.

…

Xu Qingchen decided to go directly out of the city to find Zhang Yuan and his wife. It was not suitable to stay here for a long time, as he might have been exposed.

What are you afraid of? As soon as he had this idea, he saw two unkind-looking people walking towards him among the bustling crowd in front of him. Like himself, these two people were also novices and did not know how to cover their bodies. Murderous intent. He clenched his hands into sword fingers and secretly exerted force. When the two men got closer, before they could draw their swords, Xu Qingchen pointed his two fingers straight towards their Tanzhong points.

The two people did not expect Xu Qingchen's sudden attack and were directly hit. Their internal organs were torn apart by the internal force bursting from the sword's finger. They both vomited blood and fell to the ground. The crowd saw the two people suddenly spurting blood, and there was a burst of blood. Xu Qingchen exclaimed in surprise. Xu Qingchen no longer hesitated and began to run wildly.

In a restaurant not far away, two middle-aged men pretending to drink and chat were staring at this scene with interest.

"He's a master," the middle-aged man with a goatee said with a smile, "What's going on in the world these days? How come there are so many masters that I've never heard of?"

The middle-aged man with beard said coldly: "Stop joking, kill him quickly!"

After the two of them finished speaking, they jumped out of the restaurant and started chasing Xu Qingchen.

There were too many people on the street and it was impossible to run away. Not long after, he was caught up by two middle-aged men. Xu Qingchen felt a strong wind blowing from his back. He bent down to dodge. When he turned around, he saw two middle-aged men. The young man was staring at him fiercely. One of them held a steel knife in his hand, and the other had two and a half feet long tiger claws in his hands.

"Young man, once you're here, don't leave." The middle-aged man with a goatee smiled sinisterly.

Xu Qingchen also laughed: "There is a person in Yeyu Xiaozhu who uses steel needles as weapons, right?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Bi Xi? That's a good name," Xu Qingchen said, "How do you compare with him?"

The two middle-aged men didn't speak. Xu Qingchen said with a smile: "It seems that you are not as good as him, so I advise you not to do anything. Just pretend you haven't seen me."

The two of them were shocked. Yesterday they heard that the leader of Bixi led his people to kill a wealthy businessman, but they were all killed. Could it be the handiwork of the young man in front of them? If he could really kill Bixi alone, then the two of them would No one is a match for young people. Leader Bixi's kung fu is still ranked among the best in Yeyu Xiaozhu.

However, the two of them knew in their hearts that as long as they joined forces, it would be very easy to defeat Biyi.

The two of them looked at each other, stopped talking nonsense, and attacked Xu Qingchen.

Xu Qingchen's words just now were intended to frighten these two people, but who knew that these two people were not afraid and actually fought. In desperation, Xu Qingchen had no choice but to draw his sword to fight the enemy.

The injuries on his body have not healed, and he can only perform 50% of his kung fu. The two middle-aged men are both veterans who have come out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and Xu Qingchen was at a disadvantage once they fought.

"Hmph," the middle-aged man with a beard said disdainfully, "I thought you were so powerful, but you turned out to be just a silver pewter spearhead."

Xu Qingchen groaned secretly, the wounds on his body were still healing, and they almost split open after fighting with others. He swung his sword hard to force the two of them back, then turned around and ran away. He could not continue fighting because he saw people coming from all directions.

If more than ten people come over, if they continue to fight, their only fate will be death.

It was important to escape, so Xu Qingchen ran several times faster than usual. But even so, the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer.

Just as he was passing by the entrance of an alley, a thick arm suddenly stretched out from the alley and pulled him in. Just as he was about to fight back, he realized that the person pulling him was Zhang Yuan.

"Brother Zhang?! You didn't leave?"

"Shh." Zhang Yuan made a gesture of silence and handed him a piece of tattered clothes. Xu Qingchen understood, took off his gray robe, threw away the bamboo hat, and put the tattered clothes on his body.

Zhang Yuan whispered: "Follow me."

Zhang Yuan is a veteran, and he is very skilled at hiding from pursuers. He led Xu Qingchen back and forth in the alleys of Luzhou, and only walked for more than an hour before he completely shook off the pursuers and left Luzhou.

city.

When we left the city, it was getting late and it would be dark soon.

After leaving the city, Xu Qingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you very much."

"Why are you so polite?" Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "Brother Qingchen, do you understand now?"

"Understand what?"

"Stupid Qing, you will die early, hahahaha." Zhang Yuan smiled boldly, as if he had not been chased just now.

"What Brother Zhang taught me is that my younger brother understands."

"Stop talking, let's leave quickly."

"Where's my sister-in-law?"

"Waiting for us in the woods over there."

"You let my sister-in-law wait alone?"

"What are you afraid of? Your sister-in-law used to be a famous chivalrous woman in the world. Have you heard of 'Qingshuang Shadow'? Your sister-in-law had a short sword called Qingshuang. When she danced, others could only see her shadow. Unfortunately, she fell ill a few years ago.

Fa, her martial arts skills are also in ruins. But it doesn't matter, ordinary thieves still can't get close to her."

Even so, Zhang Yuan still quickened his pace. Not long after, the two of them arrived in the woods outside the city. Their carriage was hidden in a secluded place. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find it.

Jin Huayan had been waiting for a long time. After the three met, they set off in a hurry without saying much.
