Chapter 694 34: Meichuan Commandery, Flesh Screen, Gathering of Heroes

The eleventh day after the extermination of the Evil Valley.

The young man had been frantically improving his martial arts skills during this period.

Lu Shanjun couldn't be considered a qualified teacher until he met Lady Jade Face, who taught him genuine cultivation methods. Now, thinking back, he wondered what on earth Lu Shanjun had been teaching. If he created martial arts based on Lu Shanjun's methods, those who practiced them in the future would likely lose their minds and die in droves.

"Only the strong are worthy of becoming my disciples." — Duncan and Lu Shanjun.

The relationship between Duncan and Lu Shanjun could be described as both teacher and friend. Recently, some news came from Hainan, suggesting that an unparalleled expert was fighting the waves in the North Sea and exchanged moves with the Three Immortals of the South Sea. It was said the match was even, and the expert was hailed as a rising top master in the martial world.

The place Lu Shanjun went to is what would later become the city of the North Sea, now part of HePu County and Meichuan area.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Liu Chang of Southern Han stationed 8,000 soldiers in the town of Haimen for the purpose of pearl collecting, known as "Meichuan Area."

Many people reportedly died there in the pursuit of pearls.

Lu Shanjun roamed the world, acting as he pleased. When he saw coastal fishermen being forced to collect pearls, he beheaded several eunuchs and used their heads as balls to kick, which also set him at odds with the Three Immortals of the South Sea.

As for who the Three Immortals of the South Sea are, he doesn't know. He plans to give them a beating first upon meeting.

White Fox Manor.

Fu Jianhan seemed to have been at odds with the Five Immortals Sect recently, reportedly causing quite a stir outside, nearly drawing in the sect's holy maiden.

The good news is that the Monk Unbreakable survived, though severely injured, with more than half of his martial arts gone, but at least he's alive.

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed outside the door.

Yin Meitang's voluptuous and alluring figure appeared. She had been attending Duncan closely during this time, even recovering significantly from her hidden injuries. She cautiously stepped into the courtyard, unsure whether to report to the young man sitting cross-legged, supporting himself with his fingers on the ground.

"What's the matter?"

Duncan slowly opened his eyes. Before, when he refined his murderous aura, opening his eyes would surely reveal a strange vision of double pupils. But now, his gaze was calm, and even his aura was so restrained that he seemed like an ordinary person without any martial arts skills.

Lady Jade Face's internal breathing technique truly had some merit, capable of concealing his entire martial arts prowess.

This was another level in his control ability.

Yin Meitang approached the young man's ear and whispered, "Young master."

"You sent me to investigate strange tales in the martial arts world."

"Recently, there have been some odd occurrences near Meichuan Area, and I'm not sure if I should report them to you."

Strange tales in the martial arts world?

Odd occurrences?

Duncan's interest was piqued, and he said slowly, "Let's hear it."

Yin Meitang whispered, "Lately, near the Meichuan Area, there are reports of a monster that sucks human blood. The victims look horribly tragic, with bite marks on their necks, rumored to be the work of zombies."

Zombies?

Is this world turning into a huge map spawner?

Duncan instantly felt an urge to move, glanced at the alluring woman beside him, and asked, "And what else?"

It was obvious she hadn't finished her story.

Yin Meitang hesitated, "Recently, there have been frequent grave robberies in the Lingnan region. It's said that someone discovered a Pre-Qin Era ancient tomb, the dynasty unknown, but rumors say inside the tomb lies a woman in green robes, life-like as if a celestial being."

"After being awakened by tomb robbers, she disappeared without a trace."

"People from the Taoist sects claim the woman is the celestial being- Ba, but this is all too absurd, and even Lady Jade Face is still investigating."

Celestial being- Ba?

Is she the one from the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou's great battle, or from the Pre-Qin Era myths and legends?

Duncan's interest was instantly piqued, and he asked seriously, "Tell me more in detail."

Yin Meitang recalled and whispered, "Even I don't know. Lady Jade Face dispatched many people, but none have found any news."

"But the rumors are related to the Demonic Sect."

"An expert from Xiangxi discovered a Pre-Qin Era ancient tomb, opened the underground burial chamber, and found many relics from the Pre-Qin Era."

"Someone even obtained a Pre-Qin Era secret technique."

"After a fierce battle, there were many casualties. Someone snatched the Pre-Qin secret technique and fled all the way from Meichuan Area."

"The Three Immortals of the South Sea also mobilized upon hearing the news."

"It's said their disciples are searching all over for that expert from Xiangxi."

"Lu Shanjun might also be active nearby."

With such excitement, Lu Shanjun probably already went.

Duncan only pondered for a moment before asking, "Where is Fu Jianhan now?"

Yin Meitang shook her head, "I don't know."

"A few days ago, he fought with people from the Five Immortals Sect over capturing their ice silkworm venom models for wine."

Duncan knew about this matter.

A few days ago, Fu Jianhan mentioned he had come up with a secret recipe for making wine, called 'Ice Fire Nine Heavens.' The Five Immortals Sect's methods are demonic sect techniques, which he had always disapproved of, as practitioners of Poison Technique in the martial arts world were rarely clean.

But you can't exclusively target the Five Immortals Sect for exploitation!

Even if their reputation was poor, if you kept using their poisonous creatures for brewing wine, sooner or later, you'd draw the sect's holy maiden's attention, and he'd suffer the consequences.

The top experts of the Five Immortals Sect are also of the initiation level.

Upon hearing this, Duncan immediately got up and said, "I'll go to Meichuan Area and take a look."

"You stay behind and inform Xin Yue."

Hu Xinyue.

The name Lady Jade Face always seemed familiar, like there was a Xinyue Fox among the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions.

If the Twelve Yuan-Chen appear,

The Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits, the Seventy-Two Earth Fiends, might they also emerge?

Hmm?

It seems Water Margin was indeed during the Song Dynasty, precisely the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song.

Duncan planned to go to Meichuan Area and see for himself.
