Chapter 176
Baimei Heying nodded with satisfaction and sighed: "It's a pity that Hong An went astray. But I believe that you will surpass him and achieve great things in the martial arts world."
After saying that, Bai Mei He Ying left with a wave of his sleeves. Ren Xiaoyao watched his master leave, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that the martial arts world would be in turmoil from now on, and he still had a long way to go.
Ren Xiaoyao watched the white-browed crane leave, feeling uneasy. He felt that things might not be as simple as they seemed.
Ren Xiaoyao decided to avoid this matter temporarily and go to visit his fellow apprentices first. They all lived in a small village near Tiandu Mountain.
When he arrived at the village, Ren Xiaoyao found that the atmosphere in the village was a little strange. When the villagers saw him, they all avoided him and hid in their houses. Ren Xiaoyao was surprised and walked quickly to the room of his junior brothers and sisters, but found that the door was closed and no one answered his call.
Ren Xiaoyao's heart tightened, and he broke into the house, only to find that there was no one in the house, only broken furniture. Ren Xiaoyao's fellow apprentices were nowhere to be found.
Ren Xiaoyao walked out of the room, grabbed a villager who tried to dodge, and asked him the reason for this. The villager was terrified and stammered that someone came here a few days ago and said that Ren Xiaoyao's junior brothers and sisters had violated the heavenly law and wanted to arrest them and take them to Tiandu Mountain to be punished. After that, he took people to arrest all of Ren Xiaoyao's junior brothers and sisters.
Ren Xiaoyao was furious. He knew that this must be a fabricated charge by Hong An to avenge him. He let go of the villagers and headed straight for Tiandu Mountain.
After returning to Tiandu Mountain, Ren Xiaoyao went straight into Hong An's residence, only to see Hong An sitting in the room drinking, while his fellow apprentices were tied up and hung on the wall.
Seeing Ren Xiaoyao coming, Hong An laughed: "Ren Xiaoyao, you are too naive. Baimei Heying has been killed by my confidant. I have the final say in Tiandu Mountain now!"
Ren Xiaoyao's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth and said: "Hong An, I will make you pay the price!"
Hong An laughed wildly, and the two fought fiercely again. Ren Xiaoyao used all his strength and finally injured Hong An's vital points.
Hong An was seriously injured and knew that he could not defeat Ren Xiaoyao, so he quickly activated the mechanism and the whole house collapsed. Hong An took advantage of the chaos to escape, leaving Ren Xiaoyao struggling to rescue his fellow apprentices from the rubble.
Afterwards, Ren Xiaoyao took his fellow apprentices and sisters away from Tiandu Mountain to avoid the limelight for a while. He knew that if he wanted to punish Hong An, he had to improve his martial arts to make a difference.
Ren Xiaoyao decided to start over, to be a hero and to rid the world of evil. One day, he would return to Tiandu Mountain and rebuild his home.
......
"Brother Xiaoyao, how long will we be apart this time?"
\"Xiaoyao, don't forget our agreement. When you have mastered your martial arts, we will definitely meet again.\"
......
Ren Xiaoyao listened to the voice ringing in his mind and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Not long after Ren Xiaoyao left, Baimei Heying's body appeared in everyone's sight.
When everyone saw that there was no trace of the White-browed Crane Shadow's body, they were all horrified.
Upon hearing the news, Hong An rushed to Tiandu Mountain and saw the body of Baimei Heying. He laughed out loud: "Ren Xiaoyao, Ren Xiaoyao, do you think I will let you succeed? Do you want to come back?"
More than a year later, Ren Xiaoyao found an abandoned wooden house deep in the jungle, where he decided to hide his identity and practice his inner strength. Ren Xiaoyao set up restrictions around the wooden house to isolate it from the outside world.
Living in this abandoned wooden house are Ren Xiaoyao's senior brother Ren Xiaoyao and senior sister Ren Shi.
A year later, Ren Xiaoyao led a group of fellow disciples back to Tiandu Mountain. At that time, Ren Xiaoyao, at the age of 37, successfully ranked among the top 40 of the Tianbang, and his strength was far superior to Hong An, becoming one of the most famous masters in Tiandu Mountain.
But Hong An has long been among the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking, and his strength is far superior to Ren Xiaoyao, so Ren Xiaoyao can only look up to him. Hong An's prestige in the martial arts world is not inferior to that of Baimei Heying at the time.
That night, Ren Xiaoyao brought his fellow junior brothers and sisters to the western suburbs of Tiandu City.
As soon as Ren Xiaoyao and his party arrived at the gate of Tiandu City, they encountered a group of people. The leader was wearing a purple python robe with a golden sword hanging from his waist.
\"Who are you? How dare you trespass into Tiandu City!" the leading man asked sternly.
Ren Xiaoyao glanced at the other person calmly and ignored his question. The leading man was unhappy when he saw this and immediately ordered everyone to attack Ren Xiaoyao. Although Ren Xiaoyao was in the top 40 of the Heavenly Ranking, his martial arts were not very sophisticated and he was easily defeated and finally captured.
\"Tell me, who sent you here?" the purple-clothed man said coldly.
Ren Xiaoyao snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is whether you can withstand my anger."
The purple-clothed man was startled when he heard this, then laughed: "Okay, I'd like to see it."
After saying that, the man in purple picked up the sword at his waist and moved closer to Ren Xiaoyao step by step.
\"I advise you to cooperate and not to resist unnecessarily. Otherwise...\"
Ren Xiaoyao ignored the warning from the man in purple and looked defiant.
The man in purple became angry when he saw this. He raised his sword and stabbed at Ren Xiaoyao.
Ren Xiaoyao met the attack with a palm.
The man in purple felt an extremely powerful force rushing to his chest, and he was instantly blown away.
The purple-clothed man had a look of disbelief on his face. He had never expected that he, a peerless master ranked ninth on the Heavenly Ranking, would actually lose to a green-haired boy!
The purple-clothed man took out a medicine bottle from his bosom and swallowed a pill. He was secretly glad that he still had such a life-saving pill, otherwise, he would be in dire straits.
Ren Xiaoyao saw through his thoughts and smiled coldly: "Don't waste your time. I have plenty of this kind of elixir. I will make you unforgettable!"
The man in purple looked horrified after hearing what Ren Xiaoyao said.
\"Who are you? Who are you?" the purple-clothed man asked in a trembling voice.
Ren Xiaoyao sneered: "I am Ren Xiaoyao."
After hearing this, the purple-clothed man showed fear on his face. He had heard of Ren Xiaoyao's name.
As soon as he finished speaking, the purple-clothed man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Ren Xiaoyao was terrified when he saw this. This purple-clothed man was indeed a figure in the top 30 of the Heavenly Ranking. He was really powerful. However, since he was Hong An's confidant, he was naturally also a top master.
Just as Ren Xiaoyao was thinking, a sharp sword intent attacked him, making him shiver.
The purple-clothed man sheathed his sword and smiled: "Who are you?"
Ren Xiaoyao didn't want to reveal his and others' identities, and just said: "We are here to take your life!" After that, Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand, and the junior brothers and sisters behind him immediately rushed up to fight with the other side.
Ren Xiaoyao's strength was not as good as Hong An's confidant, but he was a martial arts master after all, and he had practiced swordsmanship for a long time. He quickly gained the upper hand and gradually suppressed the man in purple.
\"Ren Xiaoyao, I didn't expect your martial arts to improve so quickly. Is there really some master guiding you behind the scenes?" asked the man in purple.
Ren Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said: "You guessed right, I am indeed practicing in the outer world, and I have a master behind me."
Upon hearing that there was someone behind Ren Xiaoyao, the man in purple couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, secretly thanking his luck that he didn't offend the other party, otherwise he would have died without knowing how.
\"Which sect does your master belong to?\"
Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed and his eyes widened. The group of people behind him began to howl miserably. Each of them covered their heads, rolling on the ground in agony.
\"How...how is this possible?" The man in purple looked at Ren Xiaoyao in shock, his eyes full of unwillingness and resentment, but he was helpless.
Ren Xiaoyao slowly drew out his long sword and said in a cold voice: "Tell me who is behind this."
The purple-clothed man gritted his teeth and said, "It was Hong An. He said that you had a grudge against him and he wanted to cut you into pieces, so... that's why I... "
Ren Xiaoyao was furious when he heard this and punched the purple-clothed man. The purple-clothed man's sternum was shattered and he flew backwards, spitting blood.
Ren Xiaoyao kicked the purple-clothed man in the stomach, and his intestines and flesh all flowed out. Ren Xiaoyao slashed at the purple-clothed man's neck with a knife, and the purple-clothed man died.
Ren Xiaoyao put away his sword and turned to leave. Ren Xiaoyao knew that his fellow apprentices were all captured by Hong An, so he would definitely return to Tiandu Mountain.
These days, Ren Xiaoyao and his fellow junior brothers and sisters have been hiding from place to place, searching for the murderer while practicing hard.
Ren Xiaoyao's cultivation level was continuously promoted within a year, and he became one of the top 40 on the Heavenly Ranking. Ren Xiaoyao's name resounded throughout the entire Tiandu City.
Before the purple-clothed man could finish his words, he felt a sudden pain in his chest. His body shook and he opened his mouth to spit out a stream of blood.
He raised his head and looked at Ren Xiaoyao, only to see a blazing fire burning in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes. The purple-clothed man was horrified and could not believe it: "You...you actually know the "Nine Heavens Thunder Palm"!"
The purple-clothed man's words awakened the dreamer. It turned out that this young man was also a top master.
Ren Xiaoyao nodded slightly: "Yes, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Palm is a heavenly-level superior martial art. I have only practiced to the eighth level. If you want to die, just come at me."
\"Don't think I'm afraid of you. I've taken note of what happened tonight. I'll come to visit you in person someday." The man in purple said something cruel and turned away.
Seeing this, everyone bowed to Ren Xiaoyao and said goodbye.
Ren Xiaoyao escorted them all the way to the official road and watched them go away. When they disappeared from his sight, Ren Xiaoyao turned back to the village and prepared to look for Ren Xiaoyao.
As soon as Ren Xiaoyao entered the house, he saw his parents, fellow apprentices, and sisters waiting anxiously in the living room. Ren Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, thinking something was wrong, and he hurried over and asked, "Dad, Mom, why are you all here?"
Ren Xiaoyao's mother sighed: "Xiaoyao, how did you get involved with that kind of person?"
As he said that, he ordered his men to tie up Ren Xiaoyao. The purple-clothed man had Ren Xiaoyao dragged to the dungeon, saying: "Do you think I'm afraid of you? But if you confess obediently, there may be a glimmer of hope. Otherwise... don't blame me for being ruthless."
Ren Xiaoyao's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: "This person is so cruel, isn't he afraid of getting into trouble?"
The purple-clothed man threw Ren Xiaoyao into the dungeon and ordered everyone to leave. The dungeon was gloomy, damp, and cold. Ren Xiaoyao was thrown into the cage and shivered all over. He struggled unwillingly, but to no avail.
Ren Xiaoyao was trapped in the dungeon and became even more anxious.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps. Ren Xiaoyao looked up and saw a group of masked men in black clothes walking towards him. Ren Xiaoyao was horrified. These people were not ordinary people and were definitely not good people.
\"Ren Xiaoyao!\" The leader sneered and said: \"Do you think you can escape?\"
Ren Xiaoyao remained silent and watched the situation develop.
\"After tonight, Tiandu City will see a new dynasty! You will all become the dust of history!" said the leading man in black with a sneer.
Ren Xiaoyao was shocked: "Could it be...you want to usurp the throne?"
\"good!\"
As soon as the man in black finished speaking, there was a loud "bang" and the cell door opened.
Ren Xiaoyao shouted and punched the purple-clothed man. The purple-clothed man was horrified and tried to dodge, but Ren Xiaoyao punched him in the chest. The purple-clothed man vomited blood and flew backwards, falling ten meters away.
Everyone was shocked to see Ren Xiaoyao had injured the purple-clothed man. The purple-clothed man was also a martial arts expert, but in front of Ren Xiaoyao, he didn't even have the strength to parry.
